Raging Loop Review & Thoughts
Great work!
The following includes spoilers!
I really enjoyed it! The first loop had a horror feel to it! There were so many mysteries and it felt like bizarre events were constantly unfolding! I managed to win in Rikako’s route, but the ending had a kind of dark mystery vibe to it… But I didn’t mind that kind of development… And then, in Haru-chan’s and the deity’s routes, I tasted despair! The plot twist where Rikako is finally outwitted leading to a happy ending was brilliant!
I thought everything could be explained with realistic phenomena, but then there were elements like the existence of the deity that were indeed supernatural! However, in the extra story, there seems to be a character, Youmei-san, who can explain supernatural events with realistic reasons and has the ability to alter reality…? Maybe supernatural events were actually happening, but Youmei-san changed the reality?
What is Youmei-san’s real name, I wonder? It turns out it was a pseudonym from the start… And he even uses a pseudonym with his lover…? Does he think it’s bad to be known by his real name?
Did the people of Kyusui start murdering as soon as they became wolves due to something like brainwashing? Youmei-san, who had come to believe in the strange happenings in Kyusui after several loops, aside, Umamiya-san, who came from outside, wasn’t brainwashed, right? So, he didn’t commit murder and ended up being killed by Chie and others… If the first loop had only outsiders as wolves, maybe no one would have committed murder? Though it’s possible that roles were assigned by drawing lots, if the wolves were only outsiders, maybe the roles would have been changed… Taichou-kun was skeptical even if he became a wolf, and if Taichou-kun, Kaori-san, and outsiders were wolves, maybe the tragedy wouldn’t have occurred? But if Rikako didn’t like the outcome, she’d just reset it… In the end, it’s a fate of mutual killing…
Was the old wolf the only final victim? Well, since the old wolf had been doing bad things with the Mikuruma family from the start, there’s a lot of a sense of poetic justice… He didn’t seem to change his ways, so it was inevitable…
There was quite a bit of humor, too! The balance between seriousness and humor was just right! Especially, the exposure mode was really funny!
Does Meiko appear in other works? Maybe Mitsui-san is also a character from another work? There seems to be a grand superpower setup, which is a bit intriguing…
Does “Raging Loop” hold various meanings?
Rei-Jin-G-Lu-P Is there some meaning to this division…?
RAISING LOOP -COMING OUTSIDER- An increasing loop?
RAGING LOUP -WHIRLS TO CLAWS- A raging wolf and whirling claws…? What are whirling claws? Is the translation wrong…?
Paradisiacal Babylon What does this mean? Does the phrase above let you read it as Raging Loop in other endings?
Ah, there’s a chance this! When read together in English linking style, does it become Raging Loop? But the meaning is…?
From Kotobank: Rakukyou: A pleasurable life. A comfortable state. Paradise.
But what does “Kyougai” mean…? From Kotobank: Kyougai: The position one holds in life. One’s circumstances.
And from Weblio: Lú: A captive, a prisoner, or a slave.
Bū: To flee or to be in arrears.
Hmm, does it mean a prisoner who fled from paradise? “Rakukyou Ryotō” might be referring to the ending after Rikako wins without choosing a future with Youmei, possibly fleeing or escaping from that future…? Ah, is there a hint in “Paradisiacal Babylon”? Translated directly, it becomes “Paradise-like Babylon.” What could it mean? Is Babylon a metaphor for something?
According to Weblio: In Christianity, “Babylon” is envisioned as the most prosperous and immoral city. Nowadays, the most prosperous city is New York in the USA. If “modern Babylon” is used, referring to New York would be appropriate.
Oh, that makes it even more confusing… Maybe someone familiar with mythology would understand what metaphor it is…
Zero People Group -GAME OVER LORD-
Zero People? Does it mean a situation with no people? And “GAME OVER LORD” implies a master of the end? Since the Tsuchigumo resurrected and the world ended in that ending, does it mean the end of the world?
I thoroughly enjoyed it—it was packed with content!
