One day I'll find the courage! :blob_shade: But today is not that day...
That day better come fast, once I canonize the Villainess chapter, I'll DM you myself to discuss future chapters lol.

So you're telling me that Heroine Ssemouy has access to Seymour's powers? Well, considering she could make the impossible possible, she might have access to them... Additionally, how aware is the heroine? What level of knowledge does she have access to? She seems to know quite a lot.
She has, but she sees no reason to use them as:
A. It would go against her principle to use the declaration as it explicitly states that a Villainess is the one using it.
B. She believes that she can do anything the Declaration can do anyways.
C. The power is too complex for her to use effectively.

She has access to all of regular Ssemouy and Seymour's knowledge. And I do mean all. This includes anything the two have forgotten. Rule of thumb is to basically consider her omniscient in everything pertaining to Ssemouy's lore. Emotions involving the memories are interpreted by her as purely facts, even if she would say otherwise.
What are you, a master of metanarrative? :blob_shock: Can't I lower my guard for a moment without you dropping crucial lore nuggets for understanding afterwards? Argh, I feel the FOMO hitting me hard now. Jokes aside, deep admiration, and I had missed that post; in fact, I didn't remember it.
I learned from the best (Certain VNs and JRPGs are really good at meta narratives) 😎
So, it's a semi-alter ego, as the personality doesn't completely differ. We could define her as a version of Ssemouy from an alternative timeline or dimension. An impossible What if that has become possible. Can they coexist at the same moment? The power of the heroine would allow it, and it could also be a way to resolve the story in the future.
You can, but do note that for the sake of the narrative, she is a "possibility" independent from time and dimensions, and she can thus occupy all possible timelines and dimensions where Ssemouy exists in. Otherwise she would be easily denied and erased by the Villainess' Declaration.

Answering your second question without spoiling things for everyone else is hard, but all I can say is that by all respects, they already do co-exist.
I like the choice of green; in my headcanon, it seemed to me or I like to see it as a demonstration that she is part of the Eldritch Family, having the same hair color as Danny and her brother Matcha (and this would confirm the blood relationship).
That turned out to be a fun coincidence, lol.
Given she told me she has a savior complex, essentially she considers herself justice and the judge, legitimized by someone or something extremely powerful. Or can she make the impossible possible, thereby making something unjust, just? Watcha didn't deserve to be eliminated; he has the right to exist too, yet she would have eliminated him without issues?
Her original existence was the very idea of a "Just Heroine", she clinged to Seymour, who is inherently selfish, therefore true justice to her is prioritizing the happiness of one individual over all others, since you are the only one capable of providing that individual happiness.

To her, she is the only path for Seymour and Matcha to achieve a 'true happy ending', whatever that may be. Whereas with Watcha's mission, his goal is plausibly achieved without him. The just thing to do would therefore be to prioritize Matcha's happiness by bringing him back into existence.

As for why Watcha's existence is not 'rightful'. For one, he came from the same place as her, so she knows how "wrong" the idea of him existing is. Two, she has bias(note that there is no malice behind this) against heroes, since in her mind self-sacrifice is their prerogative, go figure.

Also, she does have issues with eliminating him, else she would have simply attacked Watcha from the get go. She considers him eliminating himself out of own free will(even under duress) as the most 'ethical' method of going about what is necessary.
The vibe I get is of a yandere heroine, influenced by Ssemouy and Seymour. After all, as much as a heroine, she is still Ssemouy. As much as the impossible made possible, at the core, she remains a Villain. But that would be like dividing the world into black and white, and moral alignment doesn't determine the roles of Villain and Hero. I'm rambling... Sorry. A complex character.
Yes, you could consider her a yandere on the same vein as Sato from Happy Sugar Life. Everything she does is justified by her fucked up logic in some way.
I'm ashamed! :blob_pout:
I never thought it could be deciphered!
Definitely, I wasn't up all night trying to decipher the message, thinking and pondering, even dreaming about this code.:blob_no:
I tried various methods, even thought some letters were Cyrillic, but unfortunately, I miserably failed. I'm so ashamed.
I'm missing the key.
I tried replacing the numbers and special characters with letters and with what I obtained, I basically played Scrabble and tried to compose sentences.
The conclusions I've come to by anagramming what I've surmised might be the following. They're surely not the solution, but I like them because they could fit with the lore, or at least I believe so:
1 "A fake veto bends peace."
2 "PEACE, VOID, DATE, BE."


Could you give me a hint?
Sure. Here's a hint: It's not really meant to be solved by a human.
How far does this power extend? Can it resurrect the dead?
Yes, even those that have ceased to exist. She just has to imagine them living again. Though in the case of total erasure, you can argue that it wouldn't be true resurrection as what's brought back is Ssemouy's interpretation of them.
Can it give meaning to life?
Ssemouy would interpret this literally, so yes, she can define the word "life" pretty easily.
Can it travel back in time to the Big Bang?
She can travel even before the big bang, whatever that is
Can it prevent the Big Bang?
She could make it so that the big bang isn't even an existing theory.
Can it erase the universe's very existence?
She could redefine logical truths to make so universes wouldn't form in the first place, leaving everything as pure nothingness. And then create a universe anyways, because said logic can't dictate what she can do.
Or is its power limited to physical objects and tangible powers?
Is its only limit dictated by her childish personality?
I think my previous responses answered this well enough, but her power can apply to pretty much everything as long as she can conceptualize it. Really, she is more plot device than actual character. Not really meant to be an 'alt form' to tap into like Seymour. Not to mention she convinces herself that she doesn't abuse her powers unless absolutely necessary.

Even though she actually abuses it on the regular, such as when she poured two types of tea from the same teapot, and using it to recite 10 thousand prayers daily while still keeping a schedule lax enough to waste several hours on games.
The Mary Sue weapon would have been ineffective against Watcha unless it had an equally heavy drawback to compensate for its power.
A normal rapier would be much more useful against Watcha.
If Watcha had had his gun and Kis-d bullets and managed to hit the heroine, he could have also prevented her from multiplying infinitely. At most, she could have created one Mary Sue clone.
Huh, if what if Heroine Ssemouy put an absurd drawback like, "this can't actually kill and will cause the user to disappear from existence", and then used her powers to make the drawbacks trivial anyways. Would game balance nullify the rapier still? What if she infused a mundane object like a brick with her power to make it a sure-kill by some means? Would he be guarded against that?
Is game balance rigid or does it depend entirely on Watcha's perspective of "balance"?
It's a great question, and although I don't remember Toaru very well, I think Imagine Breaker would win in the comparison.
[GAME BALANCEMENT] acts by neutralizing powers considered too powerful or without an adequate counterbalance, while Imagine Breaker can cancel any supernatural power upon contact. The two powers could theoretically cancel each other out if they came into direct contact.
Imagine Breaker does indeed have limitations. The most evident is that it's confined to Touma's right hand, meaning it can only nullify supernatural powers when touched with that hand. This exposes him to physical risks from opponents using non-magical means in combat. If [GAME BALANCEMENT] attempted to neutralize Imagine Breaker considering it an "unbalanced" power (since it can nullify almost anything supernatural), it might not have a direct effect on Imagine Breaker itself, due to Imagine Breaker's unique and inherently neutralizing nature.
Honestly, since both powers don't really have an effect by themself, it would just be a fistfight.

Yes for a moment I was worried too. Where I come from Mother's Day is in May.
Nahrenne did a little bit of unintentional trolling here it seems :blob_joy:

I mean the text does say you should always bet on Azure so....
Of course! My Azure is obviously the strongest! :blob_uwu: Someone very smart wrote that text :blob_uwu:
Danny got the 6969 and now 16969

Her power is just too strong.
I didn't notice that :blob_joy: Well... I am an amazing and powerful Goddess after all :blob_uwu:

Goddess daikon and Lord Matcha both have green hair, so it makes a lot of sense! :blob_evil:
We are both beautiful/handsome, we are known conquerors of maidens hearts, we are both top tier villains :blob_uwu: Matcha-kun, we are so perfect! This school can't handle us :blob_uwu:
Hmm, maybe I should dye my hair green too for uniformity :blob_hide:
:sweating_profusely: s-somehow pink isn't so scary anymore :sweating_profusely:
