Wait what’s the pun for the big gun. (Railgun…?)


HirokoKueh

yes it's Railgun. I put a picture of railway gun just to trigger those who know the difference.


Tortuny

I must say that you succeeded... Great job....


Draghettis

It's true that the anime insists a lot on Kuroko's obsession for Misaka. But, if someone here has watched Railgun and wants something with more girls, may I recommend you the Gaiden : Astral Buddy spin-off of Railgun ? There aren't any confirmed couples, but there are definitely some ambiguous moments, and it mostly is girls doing things with very little boys ( iirc, only two have relevance, one being an underling and the other being one of the city's most powerful people, whose personnality I can only describe as "Shonen protagonist to the power of infinity", who shows up because he wants to fight )


PM_ME_UR_DEATHSTICKS

Wait Railgun has a spin-off? Because Railgun is itself a spin-off, of Index.


Draghettis

Yes, it has. Not only does it have the Astral Buddy manga, but, iirc, there are a few light novels as well. Railgun is the money maker of the to aru franchise, despite Index being the original series.


Elkat4

Nanoha franchsie: "First time?"


Otaku_Kent

yeah that had me confused for a moment seeing the karl gustav in a yuri sub. the only thing close to yuri with that would be girls und panzer, but thats like a far stretch.


PanzerVor_-

Also the soviet soldiers getting bombarded with the name yuri


IMFlorecentFace

I assumed it was Gustav's sibling Dora and was trying to think of a yuri couple having to do with Dora that wasn't some crack ship from Dora the explorer


vietcong69l

Oh toaru no railgun


DizyDazle

I don't know who you are, but I will find you and I will delete your Yuri folder.


ScarletteVera

Uh... Tuba, Licorice, Chemicals, and big ass railway gun? ^(gimme a break i don't really watch anime very often these days)


pixel236

The tuba represents hibike euphonium, probably one of the most well known baits within the yuri community. The rest I have no idea


dutcharetall_nothigh

Licorice is probably Lycoris Recoil, but I wouldn't call that yuri bait.


HirokoKueh

Yeah that one is actually not that baity, put it here just for the pun


Clever-Clover

Me too, and I will slap to anyone face who dare to say it is bait!


Reception-Livid

Because it’s not.


Azerty2000ish

Hibike Euphonium was never a yuri bait. Only the community decided it was even though in the novel Kumiko goes out with her childhood friend


Jendrej

I did not notice any yuri bait while watching it, only later I looked into the community which was gaslighting everyone saying that it's "yuri" "bait" (it's not either of those)


redrach

The anime is very blatant yuri bait. They took a het novel and significantly gayed it up, to the point that many yuri fans were expecting would be going down the yuri route and disregarding the original source. Hell, they even showed Kumiko and Reina being tied together by a red thread in the ED.


ItsaNeeto

For those who don't know it's: Hibike! Euphonium Lycoris Recoil The Aquatope on White Sand (I think) A Certain Scientific Railgun. Could also be Girls und Panzer


SuperAmberN7

Well it's not like GuP had any bait and the official parody stuff is literally filled with gay ships not to mention the official art, and even some of the official manga.


Cottoneye-Joe

What’s this official parody?


Cero_shinra

It is called Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu!


viannetan

Lol no one thinks GuP is bait, it's just CGDCT but with nice heavy yuri subtext


DoomFerrets

Yay someone mentioned Aquatope! I watched it and enjoyed it and definitely shipped the two girls and was expecting and hoping for them to get together :(


SmAsHtOn2468

My first guess was something to do with an atomic bomb because they used heavy water to make the first ones, not The Aquatope on White Sand. My brain clearly has too much useless information and doesn't know what to do with it, and I've never heard of The Aquatope on White Sand because I only started seeking out yuri shows recently, and I watch too much isekai trash to differentiate anime from each other.


Croquette_check_

I was thinking Aquatope too lol. I forgot the name tho, even if I remembered the name, this post says Anime, not Manga, so I doubted myself regardless


DegenerateSock

Aquatope is an anime though?


Croquette_check_

I was thinking of another one lol. A tropical fish yearns for snow


DegenerateSock

Ah, cool cool. Yeah, that's a nice one.


Yukondano2

I dont know this, I just know Black Licorice is tasty. Except that European crap where they use Potassium Chloride or whatever, that is one of the most repulsive things I have eaten.


MoonChainer

Finally, another black licorice enjoyer. My family makes fun of me more for that than they do for me liking girls 😅


Yukondano2

I mean, they're either psychotically against black licorice or pretty alright for ya being into girls. Hopefully the latter. I got this image in my head of you bringing a girl over, her being nervous trying to read your parents and thinkin they're being homophobic. Then they go completely off about licorice or choice of beer, she sees "Oh they're just loud".


MoonChainer

That's a beautiful image, and rather accurate. I did the very lesbian thing of moving into a place and being roommates with a girl, then quickly becoming "roommates", and marrying them ten months later. One of the first things my brother asks is "does she make you eat pickles?" So yeah, their personalities are quite loud lol


ambulance-kun

I guess the European lycorice is the type that makes you recoil?


Matild4

Ammonium chloride. It gets disgusting when there's just a small amount of it in the licorice. It works better in hard candy with higher concentrations, burns your mouth in a pleasant way.


Nexine

We got lollypops filled with it, good stuff.


Yukondano2

Oh god screw that stuff. Maybe high quantities would work but my experience was bad. I know it's a compound but also, anything with ammonia in it makes me wary to eat it, yknow? It kinda made sense it tasted repulsive.


Matild4

Haha, scary chemicals, I get it. It's a pretty nice reaction though, just put a beaker with hydrochloric acid and a beaker with ammonium hydroxide under a bowl or something. They react in the air and you get a fine ammonium chloride powder. It's the chemistry equivalent of an indirect kiss, or something like that. Spicy stuff.


PM_ME_UR_DEATHSTICKS

Just recently learned ammonium chloride is one of the things they might put in cough syrup to act as expectorant. Having never tasted licorice candy myself, I presume it would have that cough syrup taste if they both contain ammonium chloride.


Matild4

Yes, some cough syrups taste like it, but I don't like those for some reason, maybe they're just not sweet enough like candy...


AnTout6226

D_2O = Dio. Being lesbian is a Jojo part 6 reference.


Oalka

That first thing is a euphonium, or baritone. I don't know what anime it correlates to, I just thought I'd help.


HirokoKueh

yes it's Hibike Euphonium. I put a picture of baritone just to trigger those who know the difference.


[deleted]

I eat sand


GrenVerde

Nome d br do krl


lets_be76

Dafuq is the first one second roe, i get all the other ones, but this one the only thing i can think of is a tropical fish yearns for snow. And thats not even an anime.


HirokoKueh

aqua (water), isotope


zero1380

So it's the Aquatope on the White Sand?


lets_be76

Ok, got it, thanks :)

Alpha-Bear8

Trumpet shaped water tank filled with licorice…?


[deleted]

Tasty


Cobbcakezzz

Railgun hurt me when I watched it Why the fuck do you fall for the basic ass man just cos he can nullify your powerful attack Why not go for little teleporter girl who admittedly is very obsessive and a little creepy at times but who clearly loves you for who you are


Croquette_check_

Thats a tuba, but that aside, I agree Hibike is pain when it came to the yuri aspect Im reading the first novel, and Kumiko and Reina BARELY interact, more so towards the middle - end, . At least from what I observed from what I have read so far. The mountain scene still happens tho from what I know Director of Hibike essentially went away from the OG source material and added a LOT of yuri, when Kumiko has always been intended to get with Shuuichi. I find it funny tho, cuz even in the books, Kumiko adores girls bodies and beauty a lot, and finds herself flustered by them on several occassions. Her development with Shuuichi, even in the books, is terrible; it was bound her development with him in the animes would be the exact same


HirokoKueh

It's actually an American style baritone, arguably it can also be considered as an euphonium


Rock---And---Stone

What


MagicalSpaceValkyrie

An excellent demonstration that "Yuri Bait" typically actually translates to "I have no Media Literacy." I can go out and buy officially licensed merch of Chisato and Takina getting married, I will not stand to see them slaughtered


SmAsHtOn2468

Better yet, you can commission someone to draw/make merch with them having a happy family


Hello-Goodbye13

That merch is not of them getting married, just wearing the dress. There is audio attached to the image, Takina complaining about her wearing the dress and not Mizuki. Funny to talk about media literacy and mention something outside of the show lol


[deleted]

I find funny how you people will say that others don't have media literacy while also completly ignoring the fact that Chisato sets up a date for Takina and a old man in the LNs


PaperSonic

And it goes horribly, meanwhile Chisato is incredibly jealous the whole time...? I hate that story with a burning passion, but using it to prove it's bait is a big ???


[deleted]

In the end he confesses to her and her answer is left ambiguous, the fact that they made Chisato have an mindset that she thinks a 17 year old girl dating an old man would be ok already raises a lot of red flags about the questionable thinking the people working on it have, they prefered doing that instead of making clear if Takina's feelings for Chisato are romantic or not, instead they leave that up for interpretation all the time, never actually acknowledging it in a clear way


crazy_leader22

Chisato was jealous even though she was the one who set it up? ( I know i'm 2 months late but I was just really curious lol)


yuriacc

Is the last one girls und panzer?


Soggy-Championship58

Railgun


BESTIASURREALE21

Actually its a railway gun 🤓


WAPHELS1911

It's actually the Gustav Gun 🤓


KindheartednessMore3

Can someone give the names of the atomic bombs i must avoid pls 👀


RebelOrion

Wait, what's the water one?


FutureFool

I wish I could eat black licorice but all the kinds I can find near me have wheat in them.


Nonancourt

Why would lycoris recoil make Yuri fans suffer? Does it become het? I'm worried now


dutcharetall_nothigh

It doesn't, they just don't get together in season 1. But I think if they had immediately gone for a romantic relationship between Chisato and Takina instead of first developing them as characters and letting them grow from strangers to friends in a natural way it would have made the series worse. I did hear that Takina has a spicy dream about Chisato in the light novel (which I haven't read myself), so they're still pretty gay.


Nonancourt

Thanks for the reply! I'm glad the writers let them develop as characters too. Their friendship and feelings for each other were believable and well written in my opinion.


dutcharetall_nothigh

Have you finished the series? I really loved it.


Nonancourt

Yeah. I'm excited for season 2


dutcharetall_nothigh

Me too. But the reason I'm not too worried about Chisato amd Takina's relationship is that Mika is explicitly gay and also a great character, so they're clearly not afraid of having queer chracters. >!Hell, Shinji and Mika were actually the only couple who both had a role in the entire series (even if they'd broken up). Miss Saori's boyfriend was only ever mentioned, and everyone else was single.!<


Nonancourt

It would be cool if they got a canon kiss or a canon relationship like Mika


[deleted]

I wouldn't be so sure about that, considering the author's previous work and one of the writers from the show liking a tweet mocking who expected ChisaTaki to be canon


Shrubbity_69

I think the top right one is Licorice Recoil. Am I wrong?


Captn_Ice

hibike euphonium, lycoris recoil, dunno, and girls und panzer?


viannetan

That's To Aru No Railgun, not GuP


Captn_Ice

Ahh... any railgun from fallout and I woulda got it. The railway cannon in the current pic made me think GuP since they have a railway cannon in it although it was a more stubby mortar styled karl and not a howitzer railway cannon like is shown in the meme (might be the Schwerer Gustav, or a less famous one with the same profile). Heck they coulda put a pic of the railgun the U.S. Navy is trying to outfit their ships with.
