【Crafting Skills】A Dungeon Streamer Called Karin Yamada (16)【She Even Makes Item Boxes】
1 Passing-by Anon
Um, isn't this just a LITTLE too insane...?
2 Passing-by Anon
An actual monster
3 Passing-by Anon
This has been said literally a million times, but It's a miracle a monster like her could stream for a whole year without being discovered
4 Passing-by Anon
Another Karin ojou-sama thread... Thought things had calmed down lately, but today it's all anyone's talking about. Can't blame them after THAT, though...
5 Passing-by Anon
When someone that strong announces she's got crafting skills, processes materials inside the dungeon as a loophole letting a minor use dungeon resources, AND made an item box herself... Yeah, the world almost shook... It's gonna be ojou-sama everywhere for a while again
6 Passing-by Anon
The last time I was genuinely speechless like that was watching live footage of a dungeon collapse ten years ago...
7 Passing-by Anon
Someone mentioned it in stream chat too, but If ojou-sama has loads of other item-box-class magical gear hidden away, could she actually be stronger than the top ranks of Black Tiger or White Knight?
8 Passing-by Anon
Hard to say Stronger at sixteen than the best of Japan's two leading clans seems like a stretch...
9 Passing-by Anon
Surely not THAT strong? Flattening Puke and the deep-layer monster was incredible, but I bet top explorers could do that without special gear, and their equipment's top-tier too
10 Passing-by Anon
Whether she's stronger than the two big clans' leaders or not, isn't she definitely among the strongest in the country, going by how she one-shot Puke and killed that huge serpent? Probably around level 2000
11 Passing-by Anon
I've never seen this kind of argument reach a conclusion!
12 Passing-by Anon
The real top explorers don't reveal their abilities on stream, and dungeon streamers leave a wide safety margin. Without accurate information about their combat strength, ranking explorers is frankly pointless beyond pointless
13 Passing-by Anon
Lord Vomit's called the strongest young explorer only by inference from his publicly known level, lower-layer solo streams, and deepest floor reached
14 Passing-by Anon
There are exhibition matches in construction-restricted areas around dungeons, but almost nobody shows their trump cards there either
15 Passing-by Anon
It makes sense for strong explorers not to reveal their abilities... But isn't that why Karin ojou-sama's sense of what's normal is all messed up?
16 Passing-by Anon
She genuinely said yesterday's item box 'isn't anything special'...
1 7 Passing-by Anon
We only have vague ideas ourselves, since accurate information about top explorers and the deep layers onward isn't available, so it's hard to criticize Karin ojou-sama's lack of common sense... But her attitude toward an ITEM BOX was still unsettling...
18 Passing-by Anon
That kid seems to base her standards for monsters and explorers on an anime (Dungeon Alive)...
19 Passing-by Anon
In Dungeon Alive, Setsuna-sama and the protagonist's party ultimately reach the pit below the abyssal layers below the deep layers
20 Passing-by Anon
So Karin-sama might be soloing the abyssal layers or even the pit, saying 'This much is perfectly normal, desu wa'
21 Passing-by Anon
Yeah, no way lol Even the strongest clans in a country can go all out in the deep or abyssal layers and still get driven back lmao
22 Passing-by Anon
Still, dungeon streamers have to talk while fighting, so they leave a HUGE safety margin It's pretty common for the streamers we watch to be much stronger, and to have reached far deeper floors, than we think
23 Passing-by Anon
Especially Karin ojou-sama. She streams in the lower layers in a dress without taking damage. Could be she's gone way beyond anything we can imagine off-stream
24 Passing-by Anon
The abyssal layers and the pit are a bit of a leap, though, aren't they? She's not the Unification Queen of the African dungeons
25 Passing-by Anon
The one who supposedly united multiple African countries singlehandedly...?
26 Passing-by Anon
The Unification Queen's tales are obviously the usual exaggerated dictator propaganda lmao
27 Passing-by Anon
But after watching Karin ojou-sama, maybe they aren't entirely made up...
28 Passing-by Anon
Actually, with dungeon-level acquisition mandatory for national militaries, armies count the number of soldiers above certain levels alongside tanks and fighter jets as a measure of their strength Not everyone on Earth is an explorer, but among eight billion people, there might well be a few who could topple a nation
29 Passing-by Anon
There's that persistent rumor every country has one or two explorers that far beyond the norm, and their governments grant them favors to keep them happy, or hide their existence
30 Passing-by Anon
That's going too far into conspiracy theories!
31 Passing-by Anon
And it's more Elegant to take that discussion to another thread!
32 Passing-by Anon
The whole internet's gone ojou-sama crazy lately, but is it worth the fuss? All she did was solo the lower layers at sixteen in a dress, take down a possibly enhanced deep-layer irregularity without a scratch, dabble in crafting skills, pull off the impossible feat of crafting in the dungeon, and create an item box. And only she can use the item box anyway
33 Passing-by Anon
'Just a monster' doesn't BEGIN to cover it, as usual
34 Passing-by Anon
As someone said in stream chat, she's a Shohei Ohtani × Sota Fujii-level monster
35 Passing-by Anon
No joke, she could change Japan's standing as a nation...
36 Passing-by Anon
What really makes her dangerous is combining that combat power with an item box Some expert on Twiitter did the math. If Karin ojou-sama maintained her current streaming pace in the lower layers and brought home every monster drop for a year, she could apparently cover about TWENTY PERCENT of Tottori Prefecture's tax revenue
37 Passing-by Anon
Fwah lmaoooooo
38 Passing-by Anon
Is Tottori that small, or is Karin ojou-sama that absurd...?
39 Passing-by Anon
Tottori might be a prefecture with a population of only 500k (lol), but it's still a prefecture...?
40 Passing-by Anon
It's probably an exaggerated estimate for clicks, and actually doing that would tank the price of materials... But either way, not being able to sell her drops is a huge loss
41 Passing-by Anon
Karin ojou-sama's only sixteen, right? She can't sell them for another four years
42 Passing-by Anon
There goes almost all of Tottori's tax revenue...
43 Passing-by Anon
They might actually change the law for Karin-sama
44 Passing-by Anon
There's that story about a famous manga artist trying to move and the local government begging them to stay because of the lost tax revenue...
45 Passing-by Anon
Surely not But yesterday's stream had that kind of impact...
46 Passing-by Anon
Minors can't sell materials even if they party up with adults, right?
47 Passing-by Anon
Right So when minors join clans, the clans pay them a relatively high fixed salary with no cut of the proceeds, and teach them skills and experience in return
48 Passing-by Anon
So even if Karin-sama formed a party, it wouldn't help Not that I can imagine anyone able to party with her...
49 Passing-by Anon
If a minor joining raises a party's (or clan's) income beyond a certain threshold, there are harsh penalties, including loss of their license. As things stand, there's probably no official way for Karin ojou-sama to bring dungeon materials into the outside economy, whatever she does. That crafting-in-the-dungeon-and-personal-use trick really might be the only legal (technically) option
50 Passing-by Anon
Who IS the best friend who told Karin ojou-sama about such a loophole...? No wonder Attorney Mitsurugi wants her
51 Passing-by Anon
So there really are no other loopholes If an adult explorer parties with Karin-sama, they won't be allowed to take their rare drops home and they'll die of frustration lol
52 Passing-by Anon
Explorer chat was in agony when she threw out that unknown gatekeeping skeleton drop lmao
53 Passing-by Anon
Given its rarity and value as the first discovery, people say it could easily fetch an eight-figure yen price...
54 Passing-by Anon
Hearing that made even me, a non-explorer, wince
55 Passing-by Anon
A dungeon materials researcher was losing it, torn between decency and research: 'A NEW RARE MATERIAL! But we CAN'T let minors take materials out! Do I have to wait FOUR MORE YEARS!? Somebody (besides Karin ojou-sama), please get me one!' lmaooo
56 Passing-by Anon
Good person lol
57 Passing-by Anon
The shameless ojou-sama begging 'Tell us what dungeon you're in right now! I don't want to run into Karin-sama, but I DO want to pick up the item she dropped!' cracked me up lol
58 Passing-by Anon
Oh, I have an idea! What if I enter separately from Karin ojou-sama, just HAPPEN to keep fighting nearby, and by total coincidence pick up the item she drops before the dungeon absorbs it?
59 Passing-by Anon
A loophole as flimsy as the three-shop gambling system
60 Passing-by Anon
So they'd turn a blind eye...!?
61 Passing-by Anon
They'd definitely suspect you if you brought back materials way beyond your level!
62 Passing-by Anon
Maybe once or twice, but you'd absolutely get caught eventually
63 Passing-by Anon
Guess it's not so easy to copy Karin ojou-sama's outrageous loophole play
………………………………
462 Passing-by Anon
Well, one thing's clear If I'm going to survive future streams after crafting inside a dungeon and an item box, I need to watch the Dungeon Alive anime and try to predict Karin-sama's specs My heart was racing throughout yesterday's crafting-skill reveal
463 Passing-by Anon
Once the item box came out, I was sweating and my heart started pounding too...
464 Passing-by Anon
Dunno if everyone's thinking the same thing, but the original Dungeon Alive manga's dominated the rankings on every digital store for a while now lmao
465 Passing-by Anon
Holy crap, you're right lol
466 Passing-by Anon
The Dungeon Alive anime's been picked up for streaming again on all sorts of sites too lmao It used to be on only the site with THAT Fist Fuck comment lol
467 Passing-by Anon
They're quick to seize an opportunity lmao
468 Passing-by Anon
Every site's comments are nothing but ojou-samas lol
469 Passing-by Anon
The 'Karin ojou-sama was here' tag lmao
470 Passing-by Anon
Surely the original creator of Dungeon Alive knows about Karin ojou-sama by now lol
471 Passing-by Anon
Yep → Creator Mochimochi Tamago-sensei's Twiitter account URL Post: 'W-wait, why is Dungeon Alive suddenly so popular everywhere...?' Reply: 'This girl did it, sensei! → Video URL' Reply: 'Your work created a monster, Tamago-sensei!'
472 Passing-by Anon
lol
473 Passing-by Anon
Mochimochi Tamago-sensei's work did NOT create a monster!?
474 Passing-by Anon
Karin ojou-sama would be a monster with or without Dungeon Alive...
475 Passing-by Anon
If anything, Tamago-sensei deserves credit for giving the monster manners and keeping her under control
476 Passing-by Anon
They're really dragging Karin ojou-sama, but I can't think of a rebuttal lmao
477 Passing-by Anon
Why not!? She does insane things, but she's a genuinely nice kid!?
478 Passing-by Anon
'Insane things' being the problem...
479 Passing-by Anon
Wow Even the creator's heard of her Hope something comes of it
480 Passing-by Anon
All right! To thank the Dungeon Alive manga for inspiring such a ridiculous streamer, I'm buying every volume and reading them in one go!
