A deus ex machina has tasked you with preventing the terrorist attack at KyoAni. You are sent back in time 24 hours before the incident happens to the exact location you were at during that time. How do you go about your mission?
A deus ex machina has tasked you with preventing the terrorist attack at KyoAni...
I call the police about an hour before the incident happens and say there's a suspicious individual hanging around the studio?
can you speak jap though
we create a massive meme to flashmob kyoani the next morning saying I'll give away something (like bottles of seiyou sweat) to the first 100 people that get there, alternatively I buy the Aoba guy a new game system and pay his utilities bill
burn his house down
Hit and run with a rental car and then dump it.
I tell them there's a black guy
>saves your company
They arrive, look around for 10-20 minutes, and leave.
Call my Navy friend stationed there. Give her enough details to work with and hope she can sort them out.
I make a twitter account and ask Yamakan to save Kyoani.
Go inside and pull the fire alarms 10 minutes beforehand
i turn 360° and walk forward.
i save the studio.
Put soap on the door handles
and he does it , the madlad !
Alert Yamakan.
Take a flight, wait for the dude near the building, punch him out
literally just go in after him and beat the shit out of him w/ a brick or something before he has the time to do anything, say I caught him in the act. When the police arrive, I just say I saw him heading in with gasoline after buying it and went to stop him, they believe me because he would probably admit to it as he did irl. At worst I get done with assault, at best I get off completely.
What fire alarms?
Send a bomb threat to the studio before opening hours so they have no choice but to cancel the day's meeting and call the police to check it out.
And yeah i know enough Japanese to at least send a basic bomb threat
What the fuck are you doing here if you can't speak Japanese?
...and get arrested.
...and the arsonists does it one week after.
smart dude , i was i had your genius.
Catch the guy during the act and fight him, of course. I don't carry this sword for show.
seems like it'd be relatively simple to wait until just before he shows up, ambush him and fuck off with his gasoline while he's dazed on the ground
lure the Yea Forumstard with a gameboy away from the company
waiting for the fat Yea Forumstard to show up carrying gas containers and beating him to death seems like the best option
Why, to save Kyoani of course
>terrorist attack
It's not a terrorist attack. Stop abusing words you don't understand, moron.
>"English please. I only speak English."
>operator gives phone to someone who speaks English
>"There is going to be a terrorist attack on..."
>English speaker translates message and passes along to police
we're not living in the sengoku period, there are people who speak english in japan
I get back into the time machine, go meet Hitler before WW2 starts and give him instructions on how to create atomic bombs.
This would change the timeline so much that anime probably never exists. The arsonist is n ever born.
Go back in time tell Hitler how to make the bomb in return that after the war he drops 2 nukes on Japan anyway. Anime's existence guaranteed.
I wouldn't get arrested, I'm on the other side of the world and I can just use tor and a burner mail. And these things are all about opportunity, he likely couldn't do it any other day.
Also, everyone ITT seems to be incapable of reading (or are already in Japan), OP said you'd be back where YOU were 24h before the event.
you'd just get arrested for assault
can't arrest someone for the crime they haven't done yet, you'd literally have to catch him pouring out the petrol
Blow up all gas stations in the city so he can't get gasoline and commit arson
I have a good friend with contacts in Nipland. I'd convince him that shit's going down, and to get his friends on the line to get the police on it.
He knows I'm a /pol/tard and browse crazy places, so he'd trust me if I assured him the info was good.
he can still steal it from cars.
>OP said you'd be back where YOU were 24h before the event.
then i'd probably post a thread on Yea Forums and /pol/ with the criminal full detals so that a japanon can do something about it.
The correct thing to do would be calling the police about 15 or 20 minutes before the fatass arrives, they will immediately suspect of a man carrying an bucket of gasoline inside the studio.
Blow up all cars too
I'd get arrested for murder. not assault.
Everyone would just say "not your personal army" or call you a schizo, if anyone even bothered to reply.
at this point it would be easier to blow up the studio yourself.
Crosspost it on Yea Forums and @channel about bombing KyoAni at that time.
Report it to police using my own post as proof.
Might as well
Also send terrorist mail to KyoAni about this.
not on /pol/ , they usually believe , that's why an user shot up the pizza place.
or i would claim that shia's flag is now in the Kyoani studio.
or i would say Kyoani uses the pedo symbols from pizzagate.
>You are sent back in time 24 hours before the incident happens to the exact location you were at during that time.
>buy a one way ticket to japan
>hide near kyoani studio and lay in wait
>when arsonist arrives beat the shit out of him
>get arrested for assault, jailed and fined one million yen for the assault
>in the prison as one of the jew gaijins there show the inmates anime girl tattoos to show i mean business
>5 years later get released as the strongest gaijin gangster in japan
>use my connections to protect anime/manga industry from the shadows
I guess I could use this as an excuse to go to Japan. Stand there taking pictures of the studio as tourists do, see a guy with a bunch of gasoline go in, then I slap a Jap.
Do nothing.
Their fates have already written that way. Somethings horrible might happen if you saved them
>muh final destination
I'd at the very least spam 5ch
what? like a 3rd series of Haruhi but entirely Moe?
also after i succeed in everything i would write a best selling ln called "I flied to Japan to stop an arsonist from burning down my favorite anime studio, but ended up becoming the most influential gangster instead?!" and live off the money i made for the rest of my life
what do you think would happen Yea Forums ?
Fate doesn't exist. And if I had this power to go back and change things I'd use it just to not regret it later.
Best case scenario: walk into the office and yell "AM I MEANT TO BE IN HERE? THE DOOR'S UNLOCKED!" as loud as you can
>manlet user got overpowered by the neet
>got burned alive
Why are you repeating that like it's clever or you've somehow caught them in the act. The implication is that they travel to Japan. Otherwise, what answers do you expect? "lol I do nothing"? Are you stupid?
What do you think this is, Life Is Strange?
also dude , a plane travelling doesn't take 24 hours to reach Japan , so you can actually get there in the nick of time.
>do nothing since I'm a NEET from the other side of the globe that couldn't afford a trip to japan either way
>events unfold just the same
>either I move on with my life or deus ex machina sends me back until I accomplish my mission

Based beta Okabe poster
>Fate doesn't exist
Well, time machine doesn't exist either.
Write an anonymous tip to their e-mail. If they don't read it, that's not my problem. I did my job
>Somethings horrible might happen if you saved them
Nichijou S2?
Shut the fuck up and go save your hot waifu Okabe.
Dress as a non-threatening clown, wait in ambush, break his neck from behind, then throw him onto the nearby train tracks and make it look like a drunkard got himself killed.
The area is quiet, so I may not get seen, but in case I do, the costume is for that purpose, so people just think we're playing or doing some stupid YouTube shit.
I leave lots of death threat letters outside the studio and describe how I'm going to burn down their building, promoting them to take it more seriously and get better improvements for the building, incase some other fucktard tries the same or he has a backup who planned to do it incase he failed.
It takes approximately 6 hours minus arrangements to get to Kyōto from my exact location at the time -- I'll definitely make it!
say you'd gone back in time to New York september 4th 2001 how could you stop the false flag bombings and destruction of the twin towers by israel and the US government?
I'd convince him to burn down Kadokawa instead.
So your final answer is Endless Eight?
i wouldn't because mutts don't deserve salvation.
Well this is a "What if" scenario, of course it doesn't exist.
Fate and destiny in general are feeble concepts that cannot be proven, there is no God who decides every single person's path in life or predetermines any situation.
>stuck in bed with nosebleeds, migraine and keep coughing up mucus
If I HAVE to stop the attack, this time loop is going to be hell
stab the guy while he was sleeping in the park.
Good job, you killed an innocent man
>To the exact location you were at during that time
That's not a fun scenario. All you can do is give anonymous tip.
Post shit like "some of you guys are all right, don't go to Kyoani tomorrow" all day.
A convincing argument.
This scenario has been used so many times already.
When do people learn not to fuck with history?
I'll send a bomb threat to kyoani and hope they evacuate. That or I'll start a hastag on twitter and hope for the best.
Replaced those 70+ People with user around the moment fire started. Let see how many will survive since there are so many fire masters around here.
>Cash out my bitcoins
>Seek out Yakuza in sydney.
>Tell them I absolutely be in japan within the next 24 hours
>Me and my new Yakuza friends wait outside Kyoani studios with Katanas and wait for the perp.
>We slash him down, saving Kyoani.
> I proceed to marry the prettiest Kyoani animator and we raise a baseball team.
Why did this delusion make me so sad to type out? God, if you exist, please, send me back. Let me save them, they didn't deserve it.
I stalk him, take photos of him with the gasoline, and then warn the studio staff there with said photos 40 minutes prior to his arrival. This way they can be ready for him with some police members hidden away. If he notices and does nothing, their security will still be tightened up and they can investigate him further.
What kind of time travel are we talking about? Is it the one where no matter what I do, the fire still happens? Like even if I stop the real criminal, I somehow end up taking his place and starting the fire.
Most would survive considering they're able to think rationally in extremely stressful situations
And if there is, God is fucked. Better keep giving souls to african children just to take them away a few days afterwards when they starve or get infected by mosquitos. God has plan indeed.
Heh.
A damn shame a future time traveller didn't break protocol to take down the neeto.
and you forgot to put a flag filter on your avatar on twitter.
Though I'm in Jersey, so I'm about as far as Japan as you can get. And a plane there would probably have to stop in California or something, and layovers can always get screwy. I doubt there's any feasible way I could reach Japan in 24 hours.
Hijack an airplane, fly to japan and land it right in front of kyoani,
>land it right in kyoani
Who said that God is supposed to guarantee everyone's safety and well being? Imagine if God helped out every single person who was in danger and let everyone reach the age of 99 without seeing hunger, war, being murdered or dying of illness. It would be a terribly overpopulated place where we would all lack free will to do as we please. And besides, in christianity, it is believed that this world is Satan's domain. God rarely interferes in Satans everyday work to make life miserable.
>too much of a faggot to find steinsgate
one day ((())) will pay
God doesn't exist , simple as.
What if god was a super advanced alien race and earth was an experiment.
1488 my brother
I don't do anything. You forgot to affix a reward or punishment.
dress up in lab coat while filming video with my back turned to the camera talking about the possible incident
Cool.
Ride the train down to Kyoto and toss a match in the gasoline bucket before he can get the trolley near the office doors
Adding onto this for a bit because I thought more about it: Probably go down there, buy a cheap broom, and wait outside the studio or something until I see him rolling up. Rush him with the broom and knock the gas over, hopefully not getting much of it on me. I'm almost certain he'd try to light it at that point, but if I die, at least I've saved 30-odd people who'll accomplish a lot more than I can.
Hopefully he abandons the plan after that and doesn't go for the knives and things he had as backup, but if he does I guess I'd try and stop him then too.
Post about it on Yea Forums
I'm sure someone will do something
This is literally just another version of "What would you do to prevent Hitler if you were sent back in time?". The real answer is event if you somehow kill the madman/prevent his crime, history will always correct itself and something even worse will happen. For example an even more insane madman will replace him and commit even bigger atrocities.
The correct answer is letting the dude do whatever he is supposed to and helping to minimize the damages.
>The real answer is event if you somehow kill the madman/prevent his crime, history will always correct itself and something even worse will happen. For example an even more insane madman will replace him and commit even bigger atrocities.
Nice fan fiction.
I live in Japan and have a driver's license, could take the train or drive my car. I got you guys.
>fan fiction.
In a fanfic style scenario, you yourself will take the arsonist place to burn down the building, as a punishment for interfering with the wheel of fate.
First of all, Hitler did nothing wrong. Second, you are a faggot.
>suddenly flashes of memories from another timeline when nothing happening to KyoAni on 2019/7/18
If there's one thing time travel anime has taught me it's that the future doesn't want to change. Have fun busting your ass for many years and maybe losing your sanity too.
>then WW3 starts immediately on the next day because a murican faggot accidentally presses the button and nuke North Korean out of the map.
If you could go back in time how would you prevent the formation of the Federal Reserve?
>What would you do to prevent Hitler's loss if you were sent back in time?
I wouldn't because it's a necessary part of any first world country and only brainlets who want the entire country and government to shut down when nearing debt would think otherwise.
>get on Yea Forums
>say that I'm a time traveler from the future
>make all kinds of predictions "telling people" what happens 5+ years from now
>people ask for something sooner to prove I'm actually a time traveler
>say that kyoani studio is going to be burned down the next day
>kyoani is burned down the next day
>people spend the next 5 years believing my bullshit future larp
except the fed is a privately run company, it should be nationalised if snything
it's more complicated than that it's a weird mix of private and public but I am someone open to the idea of it being nationalized though I'm getting out of my depth at this point
>Teroristo ichi, otaku with megane, near the kyoani building, shit's gonna bakuretsu big time
There you go, they'll get the message.
Fill a bag with hammers and knives
Wait outside studio building
Beat terrorist to death with bag
Take gasoline and set fire to studio myself
Seriously, what the fuck was he thinking with that bag, IDGI
I wait until he lights it on fire and dab on the people crawling out of the building.
>not always already being in Japan
sasuga
I feel like I could beat him up, but he might have tard strength
go back underage faggot. That game ripped off so many movies.
Hack into their website and pretend to be the schizo detailing the shit he's gonna do.
Call in a bomb threat.
Some random foreigner calling about a potential arsonist? Gonna get ignored. Bomb threat? Have to treat it like the real thing because policy, and they evacuate. Then shady guy shows up with 40L of petrol and gets dogpiled by police. Crisis averted.
Fuck off Yea Forums newshit.
desu this sounds like a *great* conceit for a time travel story
I kill the people myself, thus preventing the arsonist from doing his attack.
>lives a train ride away
>has 24 hours to plan and shop
>master plan is "go there and bum rush the guy with a cheap broom"
Sadly this is probably the most honest post ITT, can't help but feel that every user's attempt would be terribly janky.
>every user's attempt would be terribly janky.
Not mine. I won't even try to prevent him. I will just call for help sooner to get more people survive.
the dude just walked in the front door with gasoline right? i guess i grab some weapons and just show up at the front door 30 minutes prior
Contact the local japanese embassy I tell them I'm a supah hackah that found there's a terrorist attack going to happen in their country and give them all the details. Then hope they actualy believe me.
your navy friend is my cumslut dude
I do nothing, I'll just post a prophecy on Yea Forums and watch shit hit the fan.
A plane doesn't take 24 hours but getting a visa sure as fuck does moron.
she's too busy getting a train ran on her by all the ALPHA CHAD Marines
>Hitler did nothing wrong
epic meme pewdbro
fuck off
I'd use it to prevent my friend's suicide instead.
Call in a bomb threat
They wont and when it happens anyway you go to jail
>shit's gonna bakuretsu big time
Hack into KyoAni and blast the Megumin bakuretsu song on loop until they get the hint.
I convince him to burn A1 Pictures instead
