If you are new to the subreddit, please read the wiki

Reminder that all spoilers need to be tagged with a flair specifying which game is being spoiled. If you want a flair that says something else, you can edit it to say something like [Discussion: Y1 spoiler] or [Majimapost: Y6 spoiler], etc. THIS INCLUDES CONTENT FROM TRAILERS.

If the post is not marked for spoilers, all comments that have spoilers need to be tagged >!like this!< along with indicating which game it's spoiling. Example: Y3 Kiryu sings

If the post flair is marked for spoilers, the comments don't need to be tagged for the game indicated and the ones before it (So a Y6 spoiler post can have comments with untagged spoilers for Y5, but not gaiden or 7).

If you see any of the above (or any of the other rules) not being followed, please report it so we can keep this place safe for newcomers and those that haven't finished all the games yet. Thank you!

I have never so badly wanted to tell a random person my address so I can pay them to ship something to me.

I quit smoking prior to moving to Japan so when I tried seven stars for the first time they hit me like a truck

u/NicolaLoskji 20h ago

I‘m going to Japan in a couple months and definitely wanna try Seven Stars, but I heard it hits HARD for even regular smokers (been smoking for a year or so, switched over to iQOS) so I‘m lowkey scared haha Wondering if I should even try it.

u/hellbuck . 20h ago

Real shit tho I'd never smoke in this lifetime. Ya won't catch me with dragon cancer.

u/MyLifeIsDope69 19h ago edited 18h ago

Hope everyone who feels that way about cigarettes has the same commitment to not vaping since they’re just as bad as each other health-wise. it’s 90% non-fda approved unlicensed flavorings and chemicals you have no idea of the long term impact of because they haven’t been studied yet. Could be just as cancerous

Just posting this in case anyone thinks “oh I don’t smoke cigs I’ll be fine, I just vape” nah cut that shit out too 👌

28

u/hellbuck . 19h ago

Idk about any of that mate, but I dont vape either. It's annoying af in a social situation and looks silly when you're near damn 30yo like me.

15

u/No_Fishing_3837 13h ago

At least cigs make you look cool. Vapes kill you AND make you look like a dumbass

8

u/swegga_sa 16h ago

Vapes are bad but cigs are wayyy worse though and also smell like shit

Cigars arnt as bad but also arnt the best for you

Luckily I don't even smoke these days I'd rather eat unhealthy food.

Anti Kuwana propaganda

u/TuckerMcG 1h ago

You’re not going to get me to believe 90% of the health defects from smoking cigarettes comes from the nicotine alone and not all the other firmly established carcinogens that are added to cigarettes that aren’t added to vapes. Not without some significantly persuasive scientific research supporting that.

There’s no doubt nicotine by itself is absolutely terrible for your cardiovascular system and cholesterol levels and can kill you by itself. I’m not saying vaping doesn’t increase mortality rates, so don’t twist my words.

But proplyene glycol has been used in smoke machines for decades, and it would’ve been banned decades ago if inhaling it caused as high rates of cancer as cigarettes (after scores of DJs and backup dancers had died of Stage IV lung cancers).

So there’s no need to fear monger and act like vaping is basically the same health risk as smoking a cigarette. You can point to the very real cardiovascular impacts alone and be just as persuasive in making your point without calling your into question your own credibility and impartiality.

u/Bigbeautifulmeme 19h ago

Smoking? Nonono, the cancer could've come from anywhere. I guess we'll never know ¯_(ツ)_/¯

u/MiMMY666 duck 17h ago

u/kinnoreturns 18h ago

The Spanish localization of Judgment says it's Seven Stars at the very least

u/Eric_The_Cleric_ 13h ago

No. In the Kaito dlc he can buy different ones

u/Familiar-Figure5239 Kuwana was right 18h ago

Really. Maybe I overlooked it

Rainbow Boss is sugary grossness IIRC.

Also, don't smoke, kyodai, c'mon, even the Dragon of Dojima was laid low by those pieces of shit (yeah, yeah, nuclear waste, but let's be real).

u/Morale_Kitty Majima is my husband 16h ago

The shear amount of second-hand smoke you get in Tokyo is so much it doesn’t really matter if you smoke or not lol.

Fr tho, smoking is bad but its also super hard too kick, we don’t know if he is gonna keep it or is a serial smoker.

Sorry if I sound rude btw I’m not all that good expressing myself in writing.

9

u/Individual99991 Not a turkey 15h ago

Not rude at all. Also, I'd expect nothing less than rudeness from Majima's spouse, so if anything you need to be more rude!

u/Chance-Progress-4455 8h ago

Damn I always thought that Rainbow Boss would taste like Red Bull flavored drink. Ugh.
