Oh that's just terrible... Well no use wallowing in our own grief! Who's hungry for breakfast? - Kaori on learning Jiro's mom got turned into living clothes

Bob Saget

The mother is tortured/killed/kidnapped. Everyone important to the story: "Oh no!...Anyway, about lunch—" Bit weird we've not been told about any movement from higher up the devil leadership chain. While I'm fully confident Jiro can take care of the antagonists we've seen appear on screen thus far, this is a golden but limited-time opportunity for the New Satans to steal information and secure leverage on multiple fronts. The crafting section was cool. It's nice to see the chair get some good use made from it not long after its initial appearance with the enormous and multifaceted potential it has. Using it openly for big sweeping changes is obviously premature. But for stuff like this it feels appropriate. Personal projects, helping friends/lovers, and making the most of what already exists or is possible.

Alas, Akemi. You were already missed a long time ago.

Lol she def just got kidnapped by diadora. Excalibur nightmare jiro is such a mommy's boy!

Diodora trying to mentally reconstruct his image of Jiro to create a convincing illusion: "He wore this fuckass shitty green tracksuit."

Micah Rutledge

Omg. I just realized that diadora's evil plan isnt to kidnap his mother to lure him out. It's to get her back into his life! Think about it... dia is gonna lose. Its a fanfiction. He knows he is toast and cant beat jiro... conventionally. So he does this and then, boom, toxic mother who was almost out of the story without personally meeting the mc is forced to the front and center in a way good guy jiro cant ignore.

We saw with Akeno how the Throne can be used to examine and sometimes tweak parameters that the wiki-pulls have bestowed. Getting a summary of Jiro doing that to himself seems like a logical next step and useful exercise. The others who have been touched by the wiki or need help (e.g., Gasper) eventually too. But Jiro has the most weirdness going on. Specifically a "summary" because going in depth would probably take forever with the laundry list of weird powers he's personally accrued. Some potential points of interest: Jiro learning about Summer Mirage. Jiro gaining a greater understanding of the Fairy/Hero bond. Observing the 'noble phantasm' thing since he has three weird ones. Potential minor tweaks that might be possible and wanted, with those three as examples. Adjusting Mirage's 'luck' so it's less focused on encouraging new encounters and more focused on fun times with established friends/lovers. Accelerating the fairy/hero magic's development, assuming the bond can get stronger with time or certain thresholds. Aligning the noble phantasms so that they're more "Jiro's", metaphysically.

Being able to tweak Akeno's Judgement is a bit of a special case, since that ability was specifically tied into Christian definitions of sin. Her Nero Bride skill didn't show up for instance. Basically the closer something is tied into Abrahamic theology or the established works of DxD God (ie Sacred Gears), the more power the Throne has over it.

Bob Saget

Yeah, that makes sense. I was running with the assumption that it could pick up certain 'traits' or 'passives' with a willing subject, for why it displayed only specific aspects of Akeno's race/powers. With stuff we didn't see being temporary actives. Like Nero Bride being a short to mid term buff, or Akeno's seemingly absent (or at least conspicuously unmentioned despite being very closely tied to YHWH) Holy Lightning bloodline manifesting as a concentration requiring spell. But a strong Abrahamic bias is a cogent direction for the Throne in DXD.
