He's a slave trader, he sold one of the travelers to the Chinese government. Probably done more

1) Whoops, forgot that. In Worm it was one person canonically, though
2)But also, and even though it's horrifying still, I feel it's a little different to sell your enemies into slavery than to kidnap civilians to sell them into sex trafficking. He doesn't make that one of his main sources of income, he's more of a white collar crime kind of guy
3) I'm pretty sure him selling capes to the Yangbang wasn't publically known...?
4) Accord's territory is Boston, so there's a certain degree of separation
Flawed reasoning there. 1) One punch man's whole premise is "he's the strongest". Saitama would win every time, because the whole show revolves around him. 2) It's stated that, even when fighting Boros, Saitama wasn't giving it his all. Heck, he wasn't even straining himself. 3) Saitama has shonnen logic bs to deal with the colateral, Joe follows "real world" physics. He's been able to destroy an Endbringer for a while. It's the colateral that is the problem.
Tl;dr: he could destroy an Endbringer, but he'd also destroy Earth

Damn, I got them confused, thanks
1 Yes, I'm aware, but I was trying to give Watonian reasoning not Doyalist.
2 This is the feat Wildbow was using to measure whether Saitama could kill an Endbringer, and I was using it because the original post referenced OPM and because the FTL motorcycle ram had the same global contrail effect. It wasn't about whether Saitama was trying it was about a benchmark.
3 Yes, I agree, that was the entire point of my post regarding the sections involving the Endbringers and Coil. Both are beatable, but the collateral damage would be high, either in physcial damage or reputation.

Ah, gotcha! Well, on one hand, I'd argue that being known as "that guy who'll sell you into slavery" can't be very good for business. Mind you, it will definitely make him more intimidating, but even if the unwritten rules say "no killing", being sold into slavery isn't that much better. The Travellers are virtually unknown, they are also dragging and S-class threat with them, and said S-class had bone on a rampage on his city.
But yeah, I see where the misunderstanding came from. I agree with you

Hey dumb idea but could Joe make a Shingu out of Sprees clones? They kind of decay in minutes and dissolve into nothing after a while but I think that Joe could do something about that; not enough to prevent brain-death, very intentionally so, but enough to keep a bunch of tissue viable shouldn't be too hard for him.
For that matter other All-Or-Nothing type powers, Clockblockers powers for instance, would presumably be good for emergency containment.
Some decent event-reversal powers would also help.
...Joe should totally use transparent plasma pipes to light up the Workshop purely because he can.
Well, I mean, I wouldn't say that it's absolutely vital; even if you wanted the biosphere/food-chain to continue you could easy make some space-habitats or simulations or something; the Earth would be much more important for geo-thermal energy or resource collection.
It's a consistent source of very specific resources; it would make sense to pre-process it into reasonably large stockpiles of more novel resources.
...Terraforming? Alternate worlds are known of due to Professor Haywire. It's probably a long-shot of a idea though.
One could probably use Annihilator effects to contain any damage from high-energy Burstone destabilization; just sort of pour any explosion into the void.

Not to damage the metaphor or anything but, well, pancakes.
So I assume that that's going to be the projectile and/or power-source for any eventual Zion killing Megaproject? Possibly followed by reconstructing, or otherwise negating the destruction of, the Earth?
I wonder if it would be possible to get some other people with sound-based powers to collaborate on some music at some point in the future.
Should get some of that shit to Amy or Browbeat or someone.
Well that seems unnecessarily biased.
I would perhaps have gone the route of life, and thus her, inherently justifying combat in the first place but whatever.
Joe should make a Viric translation guide so that Tybalt would be forced to learn this shit even while sleeping.
Based on precedent she'd be at least a Blaster/Shaker Eight.
Sibling adoption at most; their respective natures just don't make anything between them analogous to anything else.
The gravity is a output managed by the Dyson Sphere.
Negative a few months; she might not know Swedish but I'd put even odds on her knowing how to curse someone out in it.Heh... How long before Aisha swears at someone in fluent swedish

What instruments do Boundless Music play?

Joe has an awful lot of abilities relevant to fighting Zion, even if they're cogs in a complex plan. Outside Context Problem and Mental Fortress are basic defenses, and Countercraft is a single use but very general one. Efficiency and Do One Thing at a Time boost everything, including Entity killing. And so on.
He's just gained the ability to use natural sunlight instead.

Instruments: Yes.
More seriously though, violin is guaranteed. Joe used to practice violin if I recall correctly, and it was due to a perceived lack of talent that he dropped it. As soon as he knew he'd be good though, his immediate first thought was "I should get my old violin."
The usual instruments are also likely. Piano, for one. Guitar, of multiple variants. And given that Boundless Music has been known to make theme songs, I imagine there's a few more instruments in there used for accompaniment, like percussion and such.
Needless to say however, Joe can pretty much use any instrument. Heck, I imagine he could improvise anything he touches into an instrument if need be, that's the unnatural skill after all. The only instruments Boundless Music probably won't use are the ones that could have people suspicious of him.
I also have to wonder if having any of the Sparks could even drive him insane with Mental Fortress going.

He briefly contemplated on whether it would count as theft to take his own violin from his parents without them knowing.
A thing I'd really like to see, even though there isn't a realistic reason for it to happen
I'm wondering what next week's interlude is going to focus on. My guesses are Cauldron, one of the C53's, The New Wave Remnants, Dragon, the Dragonslayers, and someone from Lost Garden
at my level?

Good point - if handled right, Joe being revealed as the musician does at least partially address these issues. Not officially so, but showing up in a mask as himself, perhaps as part of doing a live performance of Garment's theme.
Survey could almost certainly catch anyone trying to ferret out the "real identity" of the musician if needed regardless, and it'd be a handy outlet for explaining future income, putting truth in the "helping a friend" (that he refuses to name) claim he gave his sister, etc.

Aisha is well adjusted to the craziness that is Celestial Forge.
Garment's element is very fitting when I think about it. Let there be Light.

Mastery at more than three unrelated instruments would itself be suspicious. High musical skill takes thousands of hours of practice to develop, and hours per week to maintain, per instrument. Musicians rarely do that for a large number of instruments.
Composers who were once musicians have a signature instrument from that. Composers frequently learn piano or another keyboard instrument because it's good for experimenting with harmonies, and some of them advance to virtuosic excellence for piano as well. But it's rare to take up a third. In the other direction, a player might a second instrument and then take up composing. Mastery of three, together with composition, is practically unheard-of. For four or more, the list is basically Paul McCartney and possibly a few Baroque-era wonders.
I'm not talking about basic proficiency here. A talented individual could learn to carry a tune on dozens of instruments. But the fine details, the small flaws that would pass beneath the conscious notice of an average listener but not of a fellow musician, require more than mere proficiency to get right. And while a musician Joe's age might have started early to put that work in for a single instrument, doing so for four or more would be entirely impractical. He might be able to get away with it without being outed as a once-in-a-century talent, were he not under close scrutiny from experts. As is? He has to limit himself.
So the question I asked isn't what instruments he could use. Rather, I want to know what instruments he's actually using.

Don't get me wrong, I love Garment as a character.
I just don't know if she is even capable of having a relationship or thinking about anything but her specialization.
Which is sad for Lily.
But the reason why I ship Faultline and Apeiron? They are basically the team parents of their teams. And I keep getting a feeling that if they got into a relationship?
It'd be a Brady Bunch situation.
One day when a lady met this fella~

I mean, the only problem I can see is Joe initially refusing to 'steal' the duplicate's credit. Easy solution, just talking it out would probably suffice. Or hey, even framing it as a favor, so that the duplicates can eventually go maskless to one event or other. It could be pretty fun.

It's definitely his playlist. His BGM is pure "100% Boundless Ambience" while his meditation music is Boundless Music's cover of Clair De Lune. Accord's productivity is at an all time high. The only problem is that he can't get the title as Boundless Music's #1 Groupie because no matter what he does, a certain IronMan53 keeps taking the first post on all of Boundless Music's videos. It is almost as though IronMan53 has no need for sleep with how immediately he posts a comment before Accord, not that Accord can truly begrudge what is clearly a fellow aficionado of the arts.
Perhaps one day, they could be friends. But for now, It Is War.

This has been added to my collection of favorite quotes.
Ah, yes. An ever-escalating series of events as Weld and Accord try to one-up each other. First, it is DDOS attacks and other distractions. Then it escalates to more thorough electronic warfare tactics. Then the Ambassadors try to kidnap Weld. Then the Wards, sleep-deprived, try to bury Accord alive. Eventually, proxies are brought in, and it escalates to guerilla warfare. Afterward, Brockton Bay, Boston, and all locations in between them are split between the Metal Men and the Fancy Fellowship. Everybody has since long forgotten that this was all because Weld kept getting the first post on music videos.
