star wars - Who was the real "Master Code Breaker"?



In The Last Jedi, Finn and Rose are tasked with finding "the master code breaker" by Maz. They travel to the city of Canto Bight and after searching



think they found him by the unique lapel pin he wears.



However, they are then apprehended by the local security and thrown into jail where they meet



another character (played by Benicio del Toro, I think the character is DJ?) who seems to fit the role of master code breaker based on his actions.



Then later once aboard the First Order ship




DJ betrays Finn and Rose by selling them out. Which seems out of character for someone loyal to Maz.



So my question is who was the "real" master code breaker that Maz has told Finn and Rose about? The one they thought (based on lapel pin) or the one they actually ended up with?



Answer



The real Master Codebreaker is a genuine person, at least according to the film's Visual Dictionary. His true identity is apparently concealed behind layers of (unbreakable?) encryptions but there's no reason to assume that he isn't who he says he is or that he can't do the things he claims to be able to achieve.



MASTER CODEBREAKER


Known only by his intriguing title. Master Codebreaker keeps his real identity a secret. He has posted his personal data in a public network node, wrapped in quantum-spread biohexacrypt code. It is an open invitation: anyone who can crack his code is welcome to take over the mantle of Master Codebreaker. To date, no one has come close. The Canto Casino only lets the Codebreaker play dice games and forbids him from any electronic forms of entertainment.

By comparison, DJ is merely a skilled slicer. He's not in the same league as the Master Codebreaker but he does possess sufficient knowledge of the First Order to be able to get them into the ship



but insufficient knowledge to get them into the highly guarded vault at the end of their journey

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

Is there good canon evidence for the "Nightmare Matrix"?

On the Matrix wiki, there's an article about the Nightmare Matrix which says: The Nightmare Matrix was the second prototype Matrix, designed by The Architect after the massive failure of the Paradise Matrix in the hope that human minds would more readily accept an imperfect world with suffering. Unlike the first version, this Matrix instituted a basic cause-and-effect programming and forcibly made those connected to it accept the program. Vamp Prime, a possible remnant of the Nightmare Matrix. It also featured programs that resembled mythical evil creatures in various human mythologies such as vampires, werewolves, zombies, aliens, etc. It also failed, but many of the programs who were designed for it survived deletion in exile. The Merovingian and his wife, Persephone may have had their roots in this version of the Matrix. Upon its failure, the Merovingian started a smuggling ring of programs and information to provide a haven for exiles that would last for 6 cycles in the final ...

story identification - Anime with a boy hiring a creature from a stone, meets a man named Dante and starts a journey to collect crystals

I am from India, this anime or animated series (I can't remember this was made by the Japan or other countries) was aired between 2009 and 2012 probably in Jetix/Disney XD (but I'm not sure). This anime starts with a boy (the main character, I forgot his name) who find a stone (or crystal like thing) in his dad's property, his dad was missing that time. Some day he accidentally hire a creature/monster from that stone. Other day some creature attack him and he was saved by his creature and the story begins. In his journey to solve the mystery he meets a middle aged man 'Dante' (probably that was the name; this is the only character name I can remember). He had also some stone. After that they meet with one girl and a women (one of the girls is same age with the main boy character and probably will become his partner as the story goes on). Another women probably Dante's partner. Four of them started their journey to collect all the stone/crystal. They are collecti...
