Neither the Ubuyashiki family nor Muzan could ever have imagined that their thousand-year blood feud would turn into a [shameless murder-mystery roleplay] broadcast live across the universe.
Here, combat power is reset to zero and abilities are sealed. Whether they are Hashira or Upper Ranks, everyone must bow to the absurd rules of the scripts:
The aloof Water Hashira, Giyu Tomioka, keeps a straight face as he pretends to be pregnant in a palace-intrigue game, hoping to gain status through his child. Then, in a battle royale, his own Barrier Fruit leaves him choking and foaming at the mouth.
The hot-tempered Wind Hashira, Sanemi Shinazugawa, is forced to eat the Sweet-Sweet Fruit. Murder in his eyes, he makes a heart with his hands and shouts, “Turn to stone, damn you! You’re obsessed with me, got it?!”
The scheming Insect Hashira becomes “Consort Shinobu,” smiling as she disguises wisteria poison as “youth-preserving bird’s nest” and force-feeds it to Gyokko.
The ruthless Demon King Muzan not only has to ham it up in the scripts, but also has to watch his underlings bowing frantically to two-dimensional pop idols outside them. Every day, he overthinks himself into a mental breakdown and flips the table in despair!
And what about Lu Ye, the all-purpose NPC forcibly bound to the System?
In everyone’s eyes, he’s a shameless hypocrite who takes “being willing to embarrass yourself” to the extreme.
He’s barely capable of fighting, but for the sake of staying alive, he somehow turns life-or-death scenarios into comedy:
When faced with a bout of explosive diarrhea, he summons a Susanoo thirty meters tall and clears the area in a frenzy, just to buy enough time to preserve his sphincter’s dignity!
He wields a conceptual divine weapon that crosses dimensions, yet somehow always manages to pull off the most ridiculous stunts: using a Nokia 3310 as a breastplate only to have his sternum shattered by the impact, or getting killed by a green Mario shell while wearing spring shoes!
The audience cries out in outrage: “Where’s this NPC’s dignity?!”
Lu Ye runs around clutching his head, tightening his belt as he yells, “Staying alive comes first! Who needs dignity?!”
To put it bluntly, he couldn't hold back.
Why is this so funny?! Hahaha!!
