Throwback to the time I started reading Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and then I read this
and honestly that’s almost exactly how I first described Hyde in volume 5 of Servamp as much as I hate to say it
With proper evidence and analysis, I have a theory….. and I spent time fact-checking this analysis (since I originally I figured this out a couple of months back). My findings tell me that Licht’s Nintendo DS is a Nintendo DSi.
For reference, here is what Licht’s DS looks like:
In order to narrow down our answers, first we have to figure out: which ones were already released during the events of Servamp?
From what I can best guess, the events of the C3 arc and everything up until chapter 118 takes place in August of 2012? From what I know, Servamp (or at least the Japanese release of it) was originally released in November of 2011, and the main story’s technology seemed to line up with the technology present in real life at the time. For the most part, it’s easy to find details that point out the date or present spot on the calendar while reading but…. with years, not so much. Also, I can’t find very much on how much of a time skip there was before or after volume 4. However, I do know that on August 31st, 2012, there actually was a full moon, just like what is supposed to happen in the manga (mentioned in chapter 100 I believe, where Tsurugi was discussing with Mahiru some information he learned from Touma). Going with this information, I will be using the estimate for the current events of the manga, which will help us narrow down what generations of Nintendo DS were released before late August 2012.
Here are the ones that I could find that fit in the time frame:
Nintendo DS (November 2004)
Nintendo DS Lite (June 2006)
Nintendo DSi (November 2008)
Nintendo DSi XL (November 2009)
Nintendo 3DS (March 2011)
Nintendo 3DS XL (July 2012)
Now what I did next with this was analyze the shape of each of these DS models and eliminate any of them without the rectangular shape of Licht’s DS. Due to their far rounder edges and overall thicknesses, I eliminated the Nintendo DS and the Nintendo 3DS XL as a possibility. Now, that leaves us with the Nintendo DSLite, Nintendo DSi, Nintendo DSi XL, and the Nintendo 3DS.
Here is where I thought I reached a crossroad. I thought to myself, “What else is there? What else can I use to differentiate them?”
And then, in a moment of astute observance, I had a realization. I could investigate the volume control.
Right off the bat, I knew I could eliminate the Nintendo DSLite. That is due to the fact that the volume control on Licht’s DS is a set of two buttons, placed on the left side of the DS. On the Nintendo DSLite, however, the volume control is a slider on the bottom of the device. Also, I was able to eliminate the Nintendo 3DS, because although its volume control is on the side of the device, it comes in the form of a slider.
Now, I’m left with the Nintendo DSi and the Nintendo DSi XL. From what I found, the main difference between the two is the size of the screen. Considering that I found that Licht’s DS is drawn with a notably smaller screen, I don’t think that is could have been the XL version.
And now…. that means we’ve finally reached the last possible option. The only DS that could have fit the requirements by the date and the DS features…. is the DSi model. Therefore, I believe that Licht Jekylland Todoroki’s Nintendo DS model is the Nintendo DSi.
Do with this what you will and thank you for reading through my absolutely bonkers analysis/theory/headcanon/ramble
Guys look at him look at him right now
Please enjoy this Lily content 🤝🤝 I enjoy this a lot so I hope you do too
Oh hell yes
Strike is giving me so much to work with here. I hope you guys know I’m going to go absolutely bonkers with this next analysis for what Kuro’s playing on
Ngl Mahiru’s computer has a lot of neat stuff too I might work on analyzing that in the process too
I hope you guys are ready. I’m going to be having so much fun with this
I just remembered that since Lily’s basically a whole ass baby and basically sleeping more than half the time, he probably doesn’t know about the more recent news revealed in chapter 100 about the Count’s current status…
oh boy if he gets to figure out about that any time soon then he’s going to be absolutely pissed
He’s going to be incredibly pissed he’s gonna be so mad
which I’m surprisingly excited for actually
Now that I’ve read the translations for chapter 117 I just want to say that Nicco has a REALLY COOL ABILITY?? I have a great appreciation for the fact that his lead is mainly a support role, but even more so that it has a surprising amount of neat features. For instance the fact that his lead can be used by ANYBODY is honestly super neat. His lead is honestly pretty good one on one as long as the person using it is able to take the shots, but in a group, it REALLY SHINES. A lead like that can be a make or break against really strong enemies (such as Jeje). Even if you’re on the weaker end, if this lead honestly can give a lot of power and grant a chance to win against someone you’d normally be guaranteed to lose to. I particularly love this lead ability because it shows how awesome a lead can be with creative users. I don’t know how to put it into words further at the moment but Nicco and his lead are absolutely badass and helpful
I have no idea if anybody else has posted about this but you guys remember Howl from Howl’s Moving Castle right? Okay so I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I keep thinking to myself about how similar Lily and Howl are
HEAR ME OUT HOLD ON I’VE GOT A COUPLE POINTS TO MAKE
Okay okay okay so first of all we gotta fucking talk about their appearance and I think it’s even more prominent in all of the Lily art after Strike’s art style notably changed. Like look at this shit??
Lily is strawberry blonde I think but y’know he’s technically a redhead and a blonde at the same time and Howl has been BOTH OF THOSE THINGS
I also firmly believe Lily would and should wear some of Howl’s clothes or adopt some of his fashion because THEY FIT HIM SO WELL I THINK (I even have an old drawing that I did about that that I might post eventually just to prove my point). But even then they already have similar fashion because they both like to wear pink and earrings and a necklace of sorts (I still consider the pocket watch as Lily’s necklace because of how he wears it)
There are so many things about them too that I honestly find to be REALLY FUCKING FUNNY
Remember the time that Howl had a temper tantrum and turned into slime because he got turned into a redhead and (according to him) not being at his top tier sexiness? I watched that scene I was like “Why do I feel like like Lily would do something like that” until I realized THAT HE TECHNICALLY DID IN I THINK VOLUME 2 WHEN HE WAS FIGHTING BERUKIA
I am still absolutely cackling over the fact that Berukia cut off a tiny bit of Lily’s hair, and as a result, Lily got so pissy that he was politely like “Oh you crossed the fucking line” and after beating the shit out of Belkia with his scythe and being like “that’s what you get for cutting my hair”, he ended up cutting off Berukia’s entire goddamn ponytail off-screen (I think he was the one that did that but correct me if I’m wrong)
Also if I'm correct the servamps can fly I think because how the fuck would Lily have gotten onto the top of that lamp post in volume 3 to do his gay little glitter gaslight gatekeep girlboss magic (let alone without falling) which means… technically Lily can do Howl’s sky walk if he got enough practice with it
The main summary of this post is that if I had a nickel for every time I’ve seen a blonde magical man with shoulder-length hair who likes pink and wears earrings and a necklace throw an extreme tantrum over his hair I’d have two nickels
GEAR WON IN THE USA REGION TOO LET’S GOOOOOOOO
We’ve won the war folks
Attention gear fans Europe splatfest results are in and we WON
LETS GOOOOO!!!!
I have made the decision that if Strike won’t make Lily content then I’ll do it myself until he finally gets actual screentime again
Me when there’s a severe scarcity of Lily content:
Guys I’m telling you right now, Shigaraki literally looks like Kuro with incredibly chapped lips and if he could get scars
I will be chortling for the next ten minutes over this
I AM SO LATE TO THIS BUT I AM NOW HERE TO PUBLISH MAHIRU BIRTHDAY ART
HAPPY (late) BIRTHDAY MAHIRU
