Well, I heavily disagree. But I don't think there's anything to be gained from continuing this either. Both points have been fairly presented. We don't have to agree in everything.

Im calling so many dips on Touka man you cant even imagine.My thought process is this.Karin has no reason to help Akira after what he did,Miku is too weak too do anything and Chika WILL break at the notion of Akira fucking other girls.So yes,Touka.

It would be interesting if Touka's first venture into the supernatural side of things confirmed some things we've been theorizing about Tsubasa (there are two events for her on the same update).

I have no idea as to why Futaba was autocorrected to Futa when I was typing that out

This is way too dismissive of how Ami behaved in this event. The dorm war competition between Ayane and Yasu was a VERY bad and dangerous idea. True, that wasn't Ami idea but upon being given the role of escorting Ayane into the woods and awknowledging that she was scared and even trembling what does Ami do? Takes her much deeper into the woods than she's meant to and tries to take this opportunity probe Ayane for information and leverage her friendship to control her. She leaves her noticeably frightened friend alone in the woods without a comforting or encouraging word.
At the 12 hour mark Yasu returns. Touka is the only one with any sense to understand that this competition was a mistake. Maya is worried and asks if they should go looking for Ayane now that the competition is over. Ami (who again, is aware of the state Ayane was in) says they should give her more time and leave her be.
This is an actual emergency. Ayane is lost. Scared. Without food or clean water. No way to call for help. Could be unconcious, dead, or dying and Ami's response is to let her stew a bit longer. And by I bit longer, I mean at least another 12 hours becasue...
Ayane doesn't get back until nearly 24 hours into the event. No food, water, or shelter. No one went looking for her. Only after literal divine intervention rescued her did she get back. Ami feigns innocence and concern. Ami is trying to see how much she can get away with, how much she can push Ayane. Ayane confronts her. Ami still keeps up the act, then she gets slapped.
Its a slap, it's not nodoka getting her shit wrecked or even equal to the life threatening situation Ayane was in. Ami is fine. Ayane has discovered a way to deal with people who try to walk all over her and it has worked twice. I wouldn't call her a bully when she's just standing up to people who want to control her.
Even if by some miracle Ami is innocent, it doesn't change how this looks from Ayane or Maya's point of view and this is all just a misunderstanding at worst.

Like Moonflare, I heavily disagree with this take on their relationship. Prior to Maya "revealing" the psycho Ami stuff to Ayane, Ami had spent a whole chapter deliberately cultivating a psycho Ami persona in order to try and scare everyone else away from Sensei. The extended psychological manipulation that Ami used against Ayane is much worse than a single event of "bullying" where the whole point was to stop the manipulation and hopefully return them to a more normal relationship.
As you point out, Ayane hasn't been completely alone because she's had Ami, Sensei, and (to a lesser extent) Maya to rely on. Sensei has become a shell of the man who first became her father figure, and is inconsistent at best in how much he supports Ayane now. After Ayane joined the RAS, Maya started treating her less like a friend and more like a hindrance, and was completely fine with Ayane being factory reset, maybe even hoping for it. And so Ami, who had been her strongest source of support, starts pushing Ayane away with the psycho Ami act, she really is finding herself alone now.
It's very clear that if there is a power imbalance after Ayane stands up to Ami on the beach, it's still not in Ayane's favor. In Chapter 4, Ayane is really worried about Ami as well as Sensei, while Ami continues to be an absolute shit friend (and also confirms that she was deliberately manipulating Ayane earlier).

What are the odds Chinami's events will be missed if you didn't pick her, making an all green playthrough impossible?

Also, I don't know where this Ayane hate came from.
If anything, Ami has been a horrible friend and very abusive to her, but we let it slide because we like Ami while we call Otoha a bitch when her crimes on a "bad person scale" are genuinely lower, we are all hipocrites.
Ayane is an angel for putting up with it and forgiving Ami, that slap that she gave her is what a true friend would've done, she brought Ami down to earth and told her she wouldn't stand for it and would love her regardless.

If Sel sticks with what he has said, a green path will be possible to the end. He'd piss a lot of people off if it changed, but I can't say I would be totally surprised.
another noob question, i forgot to get my ayane lust up to 10 for the beach vacation, will i be locked out of her path if i get to Prisoner without it?

You'll miss Prisoner, and you'll miss a few scenes that only trigger if you have Prisoner, but that's a side strand of Ayane's path, not the main part of it.

I guess I heavily disagree with both of your takes on this.
Ami wasn't pushing Ayane away. Ayane pushed Ami away by not only sleeping with Ami's uncle behind her back, but also with the reset stuff, and then pushed Ami away even more after Maya scared her.
Even before all of that, Ayane said crap like this on Ami's birthday:

Frankly, even Ayane's problems with Maya and Sensei are her own fault. She treated Maya as a threat before making it to the roof, and basically spent years harassing Sensei while Maya had to hide their relationship. Ayane was even the one who pushed for a sexual relationship with Sensei, surely knowing it'd at least change her relationships with Ami and Sensei. It, of course, is also something Maya likely hated, like how she hated Ayane flaunting her relationship with Sensei during the resets:

Anyway, all that you showed of Ami is after Ayane messed up their friendship, slept with her uncle, acted way different than usual, bullied her, and was just implying that she was somehow involved in Sensei breaking and being incapacitated for 2 months. On top of this, Ami was apparently finally breaking after all of the years of crap she's been put through by everyone around her. Hence why Ami has short hair now.
But the power imbalance I'm referring to was shown blatantly in Ayane's Chapter 3 'Double Jeopardy' Event:

Ayane definitely played a part in Ami's recent breaking, and it's likely why she wishes she had a friend she could trust:

I'd be curious how Ami is going to react to Ayane now, but it'd probably be more of the same. Ami seems even more submissive now.

Yes, there are further lewd scenes on that plot thread that you'll miss if you miss Prisoner.

I highly recommend you download URM and use it to set
ayane_lust to 10. Without seeing Prisoner and the other events that rely on it, Ayane's arc will make a lot less sense.In general, you shouldn't think of this as a traditional VN with a branching narrative and different paths for different girls. There is one linear story that contains arcs for all of the girls. You can never totally lock yourself out from anyone, but the story will be the most cohesive if you make choices and meet lust thresholds so see all of the events.
