Students better than the glorious leader Cherino get sent to No. 227 Special Class, and since nobody is better than the glorious leader Cherino, nobody gets sent to No. 227 Special Class!
shit is the ultimate gatekeeping tool. I'm happy to be in a community that gives a shit about the actual game and characters.
If you think the Hot Springs Department is bad, wait until you find out about the depraved and sadistic deeds of the Gourmet Research Society.
I never noticed it was British themed until this post. Koharu is wearing a bonnet (I think) which was apparently commonly worn to church by women in the UK in the 18th and 19th century. This will sound retarded, the ways the schools interact reminds me of Morrowind's great houses.
You didn't notice that Hifumi, Hanae, Hanako, Ichika and Serina, together with various Mob-chans, use some variant of the L85A2/Sa-80 as their weapon?
It's there but not exactly thrown in your face unless you noticed it. As Kivotos Strongest Sensei said, most of the Trinity NPCs and the playable students from it uses weapons from the British isles, then the Trinity's school council group is called "Tea Party" and well, you kinda get the UK-like vibe from the backgrounds and the school area.
Another theme, this time in terms of characterization, that differentiates the two schools in an interesting way is that every Gehenner is up front and open about who they are, what you see and how they present themselves is pretty much what you get. On the other hand, a lot of Trinity students repress something about themselves and are more than meets the eye. Hasumi is very serious and no-nonsense but loses her mind whenever sweets are involved and is overly conscious of her weight. Hanako and Koharu are polar opposites, Hanako merely pretends to be a perverted retard but is actually a very intelligent girl, Koharu pretends to be chaste and an elite in every way but is dumb and perverted. Reisa is loud and boisterous and seems to want to be the center of attention but in reality she's a very awkward and lonely girl who just wants to make friends. Tsurugi looks more demonic than every Gehenner put together but in reality she's one of the sweetest and nicest characters outside of battle. Ichika puts on a front of being very easygoing but when she gets pissed off she becomes a complete demon.
Hanako isn't pretending in being an overt pervert. Regarding her intelligence, it is less about pretending to be a retard and more about hiding her power level from others.
Tsurugi is functionally a genuine demon that just happens to be one the "sweetest and nicest character outside of battle."
It's more embracing her perversions. With acting like a moron being due to realizing she doesn't want to deal with the faction autism of the school.
Kinda checks out with Israel being formerly British controlled. Mari having a Desert Eagle is pretty hilarious, hope she gets a combat oriented version that uses it.
The blue archive's fandom wiki kept a detailed list. Generally most schools with clear national/country reference or aesthetics will focus on weapons based on said country, like Germans (Gehenners), British/Israelis (Trinity), Chinese (Shanhaijing), Soviet/Russians (Red Winter), and Japanese (Hyakkiyako), but there are some that didn't follow the national aesthetic, like say:Kinda checks out with Israel being formerly British controlled. Mari having a Desert Eagle is pretty hilarious, hope she gets a combat oriented version that uses it.
I now want to binge what kind of gun every faction uses.
This ties to a point raised earlier in this thread, everyone has (at least some) redeeming qualities.
So far the only school that has every single student follow their theme in armament is Red Winter, with every single one of them wielding a Soviet or Warsaw Pact gun. When it comes to FOX Squad, their theming is around US special forces in the Iraq War, tho speaking of the RABBIT squad I have no idea why they gave Moe an obscure modern prototype pistol when the Lahti L-35 was right there to complete their WWII Finland theming.
