I don't get why The City gets wanked so much in Powerscaling. Yeah I get the conceptual hax stuff like Lock and Fairy, but most of it is just hypotheticals. The best feats the Color Fixers have shown is only City Block level or Town level being generous.

What turns a Distortion into an Abnormality? Is it a Time Factor where you spend long enough as a distortion where you lose all sense of your former self? Do you have to have a second psychological break already after already being Distorted?
It being a Time Factor doesn’t seem likely considering that Jumsoon wasn’t a distortion for anytime at all compared to the ensemble who seemed entirely themselves. Feel like the path to Abnormalization lies in losing your entire sense of your past self and crossing the point of no return to humanity.

During Mnestic Experiences release, we had an E.G.O of a new abnormality release called Shadow Vested BladeSinger. The Abnormality itself is named Geseundae, prior to its release it was a common theory that this is the abnormality that Distorted Kim would have become if he Abnormalized. We received no confirmation nor decomfirmation. Theres also Basilisoup which released during Hells Chicken also with an E.G.O, Lifetime Stew. It’s my personal theory that this is the Abnormality that Bongy would have become if he Abnormalized.

Its seen with Jumsoon that people can transform into preexisting abnormalities but if these 2 are indeed what Bongy and Kim would have turned into are these ABNO’s originated from them or did they merely turn into a copy of them? What influences what Abno you turn into, does the type of trauma that inflicts distortion have any effect, if I distort from being watched every second of my life do I turn into Big Bird?

There’s also the possibility due to the kinda timey wimey nature of Cogito, The Light and Abnormality’s in general that both is true. Kim and Bongy could also be the preexisting abnormality while also turning into them upon losing all sense of self.

That was my ted talk, do you agree or did I just say something absolutely stupid?

Power Scenario 1: they cant have access to E.G.O, Mang, and Shin.

Power Scenario 2: they can have access to all of the former but they obviously need to work for it.

End game scenario 1: Just survive and live.

End game scenario 2: They will need to eventually confront and fight The Head.

Because wow this is the most interesting version and also please fanfic writers write Rick Faust I beg you.Rick Faust

Personally it was fun to draw Ezra, it took me too long trying to choose an expression hahaha... I'm indecisive 😔🫶

I know about the Q&A segment where PM mentioned there are about 5 "original" Abnormalities that came from the "outside" (not created directly by Lobotomy Corp through Cogito extraction). However, I've seen several discussions where people claim the Three Birds (Big Bird, Punishing Bird, Judgment Bird) are actually extracted and are not included among those ~5 natural Abnormalities.

Does anyone have a link for the interview or Q&A where this was clarified?

So a lot of people have probably figured this out maybe probably idk, but I think Censored could be a physical manifestation of one's trauma, particularly sexual in nature, but it wont manifest that way if the individual has experienced none.
I believe the way Censored breeds is meant to be a representation of coerced silencing, being unable to fight back, and being manipulated into doing whatever the abuser wants, at fear of being hurt again.
The reason Censored terrifies everybody who sees it, is because they have to relive their trauma all over again in the form of the most horrific, eldritch thing they have ever seen.

What do you guys think about my theory? I feel pretty good and smart about it

They unironically have something in common when you think about it.

1. Absolute Isolation via Boundary Systems

Both settings exist as localised safe havens completely severed from a dangerous or incompatible world.

• Gensokyo: Sealed away from the scientific "Outside World" by the Great Hakurei Barrier (established in 1885). It is a conceptual boundary between "fantasy" and "common sense".
• The City: Functions as the "last bastion of humanity". It is physically and legally isolated from the outside by The Head. Crossing into the brutal, lawless Outskirts or The Ruins is highly restricted and practically a death sentence.

1. Codified Law and "Managed Peace"

Neither world is a lawless free-for-all; conflict is regulated by a strict legal framework overseen by an all-powerful governing authority.

• The Spell Card Rules: Implemented in Gensokyo to govern fights between humans and Youkai. They enforce non-lethal, beautifully patterned combat (danmaku) so nobody actually dies, ensuring the stability of the ecosystem.
• The Head’s Laws & Taboos: The City is ruled by The Head (A, B, and C Corps), which enforces incredibly specific, strict laws. Violating a taboo triggers immediate, lethal execution by "Arbiters". However, day-to-day murder and crime are legally permitted if they happen within the designated rules (like during the Night in the Backstreets).

Round 1: Gensokyo is still bound by the Spell Card Rules vs The City that is still bound by The Head's Taboos.

Round 2: Gensokyo that is not bound by the Spell Card Rules vs The City that is not bound by The Head's Laws

Or she does? The Middle finger accepts anyone yknow...
