Now obviously GF is never actually going to explain how exactly the Toxic Chain differed from Pecharunt's mochi in terms of subjugating people but what do you think the differences are between them? An obvious one is that the Toxic Chain doesn't make you do the meme dance or constantly say 'mochi mochi' as evidenced by the Loyal Three. Another thing that can be inferred but is not as explicit is that while the Toxic Chain is more 'permanent' than the mochi (as the mochi mind control can seemingly be broken by messing up Pecharunt while the Toxic Chain remained on the Loyal Three even after Pecharunt went to sleep as a plushie and well, the Loyal Three died) it appears to be less overt as the mochi since the Loyal Three were acting with what looks to be their own will while those under the control of the mochi is clearly being forced to do what they do.
This makes me think that the mochi is a simple 'you eat it and now Pecharunt has control of you but has to actively control you and if his focus is sufficiently messed up, such as by his shit getting pushed in, the control breaks'; where the Toxic Chain is more insidious in that it does not instantly flip some mind control switch or exert total control, it instead subliminally influences those who wear it and 'reward' the 'correct' behavior and thoughts by gifting that with you desire most until eventually your own psyche is so warps that no overt control is needed as you willingly serve Pecharunt and want to as your desires become associated with serving him. Think of it like a subliminal force that whispers in your mind about how you could finally be somebody of value and no longer hate yourself if all you do is follow Pecharunt and obey him.
But how do you think it works and do you think the differences of how the control between the mochi and Toxic Chains work or even if you think there is any meaningful difference between them.
Also Pecharunt Thread I guess.
