Both are B0A1C5. Ichigo has the benefit of converting all CR into CD in a 1:2 ratio past 100% CR so it's basically a 60% CDMG increase, while Toshiro gets a flat 25% DMG boost (don't know if this is additive or multiplicative) and 3 Ice Blossoms for slightly faster rotations, unsure if this is even that big of an increase in practice.
Fundamentally, earthbenders cannot bend metal. When Toph "unlocks" metalbending, she's using her seismic sense to sense the tiniest impurities of earth within the metal and is bending those residual unpurified earth particles to manipulate the shape and movement of the metal object, not the metal element itself.
As Hiroshi Sato put it in LoK S1, the platinum used in the mecha suits are so pure that not even Toph can bend it.
Are there any other "elements" that is impossible to bend? To my knowledge, it's metal and wood, which strangely fits as the two elements that are part of the 5-element system in Eastern culture and don't overlap with the common 4-element system used in Western media.
I really liked her in the first Cold Steel game because she felt like a true mentor figure to the rest of Class 7, but I can't help that her role had greatly diminished from the CS2 onwards.
Rean (and those in Class 7 who weren't Emma, Fie or Jusis) really didn't have any other mentor figures to look up to besides Sara and it was only lightly touched on how he took up her mantle as Class 7's instructor in the subsequent games, but I always felt that she was part of the original Class 7 yet felt like her presence was the least impactful, even less than Gaius (what a shame about him).
Her role became relegated to "just another A rank bracer" and someone who shares a past with Fie instead of devoting her time to truly guide her own students.
E1 Mydei owner and I primarily run him with E0 Cyrene and E0 Cerydra. I also have a E0 Ashveil that I can use Tribbie with.
I'm doing pretty well without her E1 so far but I do want to keep using Mydei long term, would E1 Tribbie be that impactful or is it just a Pure Fiction Eidolon, considering we are getting way less AoE stages nowadays?
Also sustainless Mydei is still viable despite Hoyo's hate for sustainless comps in HSR, especially in AA. E0S0 triple supports (Cyrene, Cerydra, Tribbie) + E1S1 Mydei, and you will need some setup to clear the Swarm's 2nd phase in one rotation without triggering his Weakness Bar lock with a few DDDs (I have one S3 DDD on Tribbie and one S1 DDD on Cerydra) and lots of Eagle sets. I purposely triggered a GBG that didn't duplicate to setup a future 4-way kill in the 2nd phase - as you can see, that provided Cyrene with just enough stacks to trigger one last GBG to break the Swarm's 2nd phase and refill everyone's Ults at the right time.
RMC with Mydei is a fraud in Apoc Shadow, Cerydra is way better because double GBGs (especially at E1) deals way more Toughness damage than an extra Cyrene stack via Mem.
If I had the pulls, I would E1 Tribbie next banner, but I am saving for M. Blade.
Finished Zack and Cody after rewatching it for the first time since I was a kid and unironically loved it. Season 1 was the best purely because of Muriel but on a whole the cast had fantastic chemistry, both boys were actually funnh and the hotel staff and Carey were so, so integral to the show's humor. Some episodes are a bit too kiddy (anything involving Arwin) but on a whole, it was a feel-good family friendly sitcom with just enough adult humor nods that kept me watching and I cackled more than a few times.
I watched On Deck, just finished Season 2, and the drop in quality in writing and acting is immense compared to Zack and Cody. I won't even go into the character assassination of Cody Martin in On Deck, but even Mr Moseby doesn't have nearly the same presence he did in On Deck. London became a stereotype of herself, which is saying a lot considering she was playing a stereotype of Paris Hilton, and the show devolved into episodic juvenile kid humor written for 3 year olds instead of being a show made for all audiences. The severe reduction in adult characters in On Deck really highlights how important the staff were in Suite Life of Zack and Cody, and worst of all, showed that the brothers can't really carry a show all by themselves, not without good co-stars. Everyone is reduced to one-note stereotype and I genuinely think Woody is the worst sitcom character of all time. I rarely laugh or even chuckle at a joke in On Deck, and I have not laughed a single bit at any of Woody's lines.
The best episodes so far (not that it's a high bar to clear) have been when Suite Life characters returned for a guest star role, like Kurt and Carey (this episode really felt lik an OG Suite Life episode), Janice and Jessica, Maddie, Esteban, and Barbara and Bob. The writing didn't feel as juvenile or low brow with those characters, although the Maddie episode felt like a complete waste because of the weird marriage to a kid prince A-plot.
The only good thing to come out of On Deck is Zack. He's so much funnier than Cody it's not even a competition. He did get some of the best lines in OG Suite Life but Cody being reduced to an obsessively whiny pathetic loser who has no other plot besides Bailey means Zack gets more interesting lines. And still has some good comedic timing compared to Cody, who has zero chemistry with Bailey and they are not at all funny together.
We used to have characters pair up with anyone else and have it be naturally funny, like Maddie and Esteban or London and Cody or Zack and Moseby, not just predetermined pairings like in On Deck. London used to steal entire scenes all by herself but she doesn't have that quality at all anymore. Cody used to be charming and sweet but that's out the window.
I honestly don't get how anyone could find On Deck better than the OG.
