don't really give a ******* shit about Magi the main point of that is don't ******* compare the other verse to your verse because the reason for your verse wasn't just accepted
No, no, no my good man. Come out and let the world see you in all the glory of your bias. Don't hide behind any new point. You typed with your own hands that the justification there was infallible despite it being more of a metaphor than what is here. That is the only point that stands.

Accept your loss like a real man. Take your big fat L and go brood over it somewhere else.
 
...Okay? That still doesn't prove plot manipulation....
As i told you if you use that logic with the statements in this thread it is more likely to be plot.

"There is order in the bubble world, and there are gods. They have the seeds of world will to lead the world in one direction. The seeds of world will is invisible and does not have a clear consciousness. The gods obey it, and each of them acts in a vague way, trying to lead the world to the right order. In most cases, they fail, but in bubbles blessed with the blessing of Silver Sea, a conformist is born."
In the Militia world, the gears of Eques were the seeds of world will."


Yes I know the plot/Script can mean a lot of things but in this context they mean the "plot" it self. (eques being the will of the world and the order of order controlling/leading every order including fate)
 
Hate to break it to you, but you're the one who needs proof here. You make a positive claim, you need proof of said claim. That is how debating has always worked.
Shall I give you proof?

The character does not refer to himself as "the world" neither does he speak in the 3rd person.
"All according to the world's plot"
How is the world going to plan for anything? Does it have a mind of its own?
すべては世の中の筋書き通り。
*Everything is as it should be, as the world should make sense.
*Everything is according to the world.
*Everything is according to the world's plot.

すべては世の中の
*It's all about the world
*All in the world
*Everything in the world

筋書き通り。
*As the plot goes.
*As the plot suggests.
*As per the plot.
*As the story goes.
this is what now? The 5th time I'm sending this? You gonna ignore it or you just haven't seen it? While I can believe you haven't, lugh_tuathe_de clearly has and is just straw manning at this point.

My point with all this? Be like @Everything12 and say the evidence is too vague/flimsy but don't bring baseless head canons that have been refuted over 5x already.
 
So what is it if it's not plot? it can't be just fate.
If it were Fate, the author would say it is fate manipulation, as he always treats it in his verse. When he ever mentions fate, he explicitly means fate manipulation.
This is how verse works. No need to assume.

Look at the last sentence
*As the story goes.

Dang, here just proves the fact that plot = story / script. Imao

It's 3:40 AM imma go sleep and hopefully when I wake up tmw admins would evaluate this thread and I see it closed.
 
@Fixxed you haven't proven the theater and script part is literal. Prove to me that there literally exists a script and a theater that the gods manipulate that actually changes the narratives of their own worlds, because nothing in your scans proves that.

Yeah the sword that's said to erase memories doesn't really explain causality here at all.
Is literal. Like the theater thing, it sound like metaphor but nousgalia and arnos confirm it in the scan i give

Like in this scan

Nousgalia says about the theater things, but is not the same chapter as you says the "metaphor", even not says by the same person, but they stated the same. I mean whose that nousgalia want to tell about in it??? Why he stated that???

And then eques says about script, thats the further proof if the world it self just life in "theater performance", it follow the script in "theater"

The auhtor want make the world in his verse is theater that follow the script, if he dont want, he will not write like that
 
This is literally Fate Manipulation that works via script. This is extremely clear cut. Yes I am ready for Anos fanboys to jump on this comment.
Dang, you really did not read anything in this comments. I will repeat it again and for 100th time, if you actually read the verse cosmology and how the verse mechanics works, Author always mention "fate" as fate manipulation in his texts explicitly, clearly, undoubtedly and he repeatedly has it shown that.

Please don't derail with unnecessary comments thanks.

This time, he did not even mention it once.

Also did you not prove us that fate manipulation via script is indeed plot manipulation?
 
That part I didn't understand, his comment proves it's plot manipulation, but according to what he said, he obviously disagrees, so confused.
As his last comment, he actually wanted to heat it against us or derail it. Obv trolling. I am gonna ignore it for now.
 
The usage of plot here could go either way in terms of metaphorical or literal but I don't really see the Order as something that's literally meant to symbolize the story narrative itself, but I just have a hard time believing Plot Manipulation for any sort of fiction that doesn't really go Meta. So I just disagree with Plot Manipulation, sounds like a reach in terms of deliberately trying to interpret something as a plot without supporting evidence and taking ambivalent statements at face value.

Literally it is mentioned that "Everything is according to the plot of the world."
 
Literally it is mentioned that "Everything is according to the plot of the world."
And that could very well be metaphor, do you have proof that this refers to an actual plot in terms of a fictional meta? As far as I can tell from the thread, your argument is resting on the fact that we take this statement at face value.

This literally means nothing without the context of a more meta description. Gods manipulating reality from a higher level would be perceived as plot manipulation by those under them but it doesn't mean there is meta narrative transcendance.

Metaphor but arnos and nousgalia confirm it. And you keep saying metaphor???

Where are you seeing the metaphor here? It is clearly mentioned "the plot of the world.", see the previous comments, people thought that when mentioning world Eques was referring to himself, and others said that "plot of the world." I wanted to say that by mentioning "plot" it is actually mentioning "plan", people try to take arguments that have nothing to do with it to refute this, so tell me what Eques is mentioning when saying "plot of the world."

What would that be a metaphor for?

again the plot of the world here could very easily just be a matter of immense reality warping or fate manipulation that non god entities in reality perceive as akin to having their plots manipulated but there doesn't seem to be any evidence of narrative transcendance at all.

Why the meta narrative transcendance is need???
Let me hear your description about plot manipulation, because i found a few people describe it must have manipulate the verse's plot it self
