Mahjong Soul's official account dropped a 4-koma manga to promote their booth at Comic Market 103 (C103), and the third panel went straight for the Blue Archive (BA) jugular — BA is the undisputed king of doujin presence at Comiket, boasting roughly 1,700+ fan-made circles. The catch? The manga's number formatting implies Mahjong Soul's own doujin count was... one. Just one booth. The self-roast energy is immaculate.
A solid self-deprecating move from the devs, considering Mahjong Soul and BA aren't even in the same league when it comes to fan-created content. But here's the thing — nobody in the comments actually cared about Mahjong Soul. The real chaos was in the reply section going completely off the rails.
One commenter pointed out that both Mahjong Soul and BA's Japanese servers are operated by Yostar, so the two communities get along fine and a little meme cross-pollination is no big deal. Harmless observation, right? Wrong. This seemingly innocent comment cracked open a Pandora's box that nobody asked for.
Cue the resurrection of the infamous 'Sister Theory' (姐妹论) — a piece of gacha community lore from over four years ago. The backstory: when Arknights (aka 'Porridge'/粥) launched, Yostar leveraged the existing Azur Lane (aka 'Navy'/舰b/大碧蓝) player base to funnel users into the new game. This spawned the wildly controversial metaphor: 'big sister sells herself to fund little sister's education.' In this analogy, certain Arknights players looked down on Azur Lane's waifu-bait aesthetic, casting AL as the 'big sister selling her body' while Arknights was the 'well-educated little sister.'
The replies immediately blew up. A former Azur Lane diehard showed up saying 'I was a hardcore AL player back in the day, and this whole thing made me delete Arknights and nuke my account on the spot.' Others escalated the metaphor further, rewriting 'selling herself' into something far more unsavory involving 'selling services to fund higher education' — turning an already tasteless analogy into something genuinely grotesque.
One attempted peacemaker tried to call it out: 'I won't deny the saying existed — it was about big sister selling herself for little sister. But you guys somehow escalated it to that? Why not just write a fanfic at this point.' Ironically, even this attempt at reason spawned yet another debate about where exactly 'selling yourself' ends and something worse begins — and the thread kept spiraling.
Of course, the rational veterans eventually showed up: 'This is ancient history from 4+ years ago. Knowing it happened is enough — right now, peaceful coexistence is the best outcome.' Fair enough — both Arknights and Azur Lane have since stabilized as major gacha titles, and the cross-community friction has largely died down.
The real comedy here is that despite the post literally being about Mahjong Soul memeing on Blue Archive, almost nobody in the comments gave a damn about either game. Someone griped 'it's all katakana, who can even read this' about the Japanese-only manga, and another noted 'lots of BA players actually meet up to play Mahjong Soul together, though mahjong is hard as hell.' Beyond that? The entire comment section became a Yostar family drama recap, with the original post's Mahjong Soul self-roast completely overshadowed by four-year-old beef that apparently still stings.
