......yeah i'm pretty sure she'd pull out that 'Back-alley vasectomy' she threatened Sensei with a while back before it got to that point.
Definitely, she doesn't hsve any reason to be 'cowed and terrified' at this point, so if she did become more scared of him, she would then have a reason to follow through.
I feel bad about involuntarily traumatizing Yumi, but she's such a bitch that I feel less bad about it in the long run
I don't feel bad at all for doing it because it wasn't even of my, or player Sensei's, own will. However, I do feel bad that it happened to her. She's your typical tsundere, she hides her feelings with anger and violence and I can see that she now has some minor positive feelings towards him even if she doesn't want him to know that. It isn't love, but it isn't the hate she started with, either.
Noriko won't do anything, she's a softie when it comes down to it
Rin is a good girl but like Karin who is also a good girl, you don't have full routes with them so for now Chika is the best girl you can actually hook up with. Plus we don't know the depths of how Rin feels yet she's mostly confused and conflicted about her feelings for Sensei. Karin has a crush so hard she can't even handle it, and Chika's just totally smitten, and the nice thing about all 3 of these girls.... they didn't start falling for Sensei until AFTER the "New" Sensei came on the scene.
Makoto, Futaba, Ami, Ayane, and Noriko, all their feelings came from old Sensei and they just kinda hang on and deal with how he's changed.
Chika, and Rin didn't start having feelings for Sensei till the new one started hanging out with them and interacting with them as people. Karin probably never even talked to old Sensei.
Io and Uta may have never even met Old Sensei, so their feelings are purely for New Sensei, and the other new girls haven't really developed any major feelings yet except Kirin who it's just sexual attraction maybe something more but I don't think even she knows for sure on that. Kirin's a mean little ho bag.
But out of those... Chika's the only one you can hook up with so she wins by default. Rin and Karin could give her a run for her money though if they got more developed romance routes.
as for Chika, maybe I backed out of her calling me daddy cause she did remark with some snark about it so I thought she wouldn't accept it.
again, changing it at the computer.. she just says Daddy and doesn't make any weird comments about it, I just know Ayane and Ami wouldn't accept it at all, I think Makoto wouldn't accept it either. Haruka, Sara, and Kirin have no qualms with it.
Crazy lady with a knife is a softie? Not a chance. The only reason she hasn't done anything is because the other girls have done anything she knows about that she feels warrants punishment, such as being in a relationship with player Sensei romantically. She has outright said she won't allow any other girl to have a romantic, and she very specifically said romantic, relationship with him. However, she doesn't know about the romantic relationships that already exist.
There are no full routes at all in the game yet, we're still on the first one, which is a general route focused on the entire cast. Some of them are farther along, but none of them are fully completed, not even Chika because we aren't even working on her route yet. By the same logic, Ami would be best girl since she has about the same level of development as Chika in that aspect. The reason for Rin being best girl isn't because of how far along she is, it's because she is, so far, the one with the greatest romantic potential. Like Chika, if you haven't noticed, she is extremely loyal to the one she is actually in love with and she's kind of cute, not gonna lie. Then you take her events into consideration. She has been distinctly opposed to doing anything with player Sensei all the way up until the final moment of her events so far, then something amazing happened to cap it off that basically blows any notion that she is in love with any of the girls out of the water. You have to remember that she did just have her heart broken some time ago and is still feeling the effect, so while she has shown interest in Otoha, she is wary of repeating the Chika incident all over again and once again feeling that pain in full. She also seems far less enthusiastic about Otoha than what she showed for Chika, she's enthusiastic about Otoha, but to a far lesser degree and likely because of having been shot down once already. She is not wary about player Sensei and even went further than I would have ever expected her to on her first move toward him, I didn't even expect her to be the initiator. She wouldn't have allowed that if she didn't feel romantic feelings toward player Sensei because she is a very serious girl when it comes to love and refuses to do anything with a person she is not actually in love with so far, as seen in her original relentless pursuit of Chika and in the result of the same scene, her last event so far, if you are a bad homie, or should I say the lack of result considering it is a lack of action, not an action in and of itself. This might change to allowing other people to join in as long as her love interest is also involved, like a threesome with Chika or Otoha, but that remains to be seen.
Chika has feelings well before you think she does, it's why she shot Rin down in the first place. She already had a love interest before the confession, you. Rin is much later, she doesn't show signs at all until the moment she acts on her feelings at the end of her events so far.
You're probably right about Karin not talking to old Sensei, she has a problem interacting with boys, even an outright fear of them, that she is getting over because of player Sensei.
Io and Uta have definitely never met old Sensei, they literally just transferred into his class. The only girls who had were the original ones we start with.
Kirin, yeah, for now it's just her wanting someone to help her get off, but I think there are feelings buried somewhere in there that she may not understand herself.
Chika doesn't win by default, there is no win by default since she has competition. Winning by default requires one of two things, a lack of competition or all competition to be disqualified. Every sing girl is capable of being competitive to Chika, even her own little sister is a threat in that regard. Nobody needs to be more advanced in their romance aspect, they all have their charms already and those will develop further over time, even Chika's.
The snark was the best part of her reaction to that lust name, I laughed so hard I teared up, of course, it was also rivaled by fury being directed at her non-existent father. I was fully expecting another 'brain.exe has stopped responding' mental breakdown like Ami's because I already knew full well her father wasn't in her life for whatever reason.
I'm convinced the 'real' Sensei is still the core of who current Sensei actually is. He's repeatedly pulled random things from his memory that a reincarnation simply could not have done (pulling literary questions out of his ass at the drop of a hat for instance).
That being said, i have to wonder just how different OG Sensei and current Sensei actually are in behavior. Obviously theres the whole 'do whatever you want in class, IDGAF' but that aside, even Niki and Noriko seem to think he's the same old (lovable) dickhead they knew years ago.
GAH this game is a mindfuck, so much going on, hard to keep track of it all!
Based on reactions from girls like Makoto and Yumi, I would say they were VERY different.
