I'm out of this Imp, as I said, I have no wish to hurt people, never have, never will. Not my scene.

Whirly's trolling and socking attacks have matured about as much as his interest in women

interesting, ignoring direct mod directives, you're that invested still? 🙂 sorry I hurt you. 🙂 nobody cares puppet.

Why did my Spectrum vs Firestorm thread get deleted?

I don't know, but I can't move it back from the bin, sorry.

Can I use this thread to talk Baki, Kengan and Ippo with Gecko and CD? Are any of you following Kingdom?

The ongoing comic discussion is so dead we might as well weeb out here.

We've pretty much always treated this thread as a secondary off-topic thread, so go wild, I say.

It also bears repeating, Arcane and Cyberpunk Edgerunner are the two best non Japanese (I think? Polish-Japanese isn't traditional anime?) animations on Netflix, if you haven't seen them you're missing out.

Speaking of proper Manga speak, I'm rereading Kangen Omega and got to the part where Alan Wu teaches the Gui-Hun style Removal to the original Tokita Niko. It was revealed Niko abandoned the Advance for being a failure, yet the Removal sounds way worse if it has a 1 in a million survival rate.

Unless the physical damage isn't why he abandoned it, Advance did have a berserker rage problem. Ohma is probably the first to make it a viable buff.

Tokita Niko abandoning the Niko style as a dead end is also interesting, where does that leave Ohma? Is he holding onto a failed marital art? Or is he going to evolve it where Niko failed?

And with Konah Agito with his Formless and Niko style and ties to the first Tokita Niko, doesn't that undermine Ohma's place in the story? Not that Agito seems to care about finding and settling up with Niko, but the ties are there.

It's odd to say the Niko style is a failed style when we have seen it mostly working against about the better opposition within the Kengan association/Purgatory, I'd say if you can use your style beats someone with Lolong's reputation you are grasping straws at calling it a failure

I agree, just saying what Edward Wu claimed "Other Tokita Niko" said about it. He abandoned Possessing Spirit/Advance, and that thing Setsuna does, plus the Niko Style he allegedly developed and the other Niko's adopted.

Later in the story he decides to resurrect the Niko Style with new information he got, but that means the Niko style Ohma and Kanoh is using is the same style he abandoned.

Ohma vs "Other Tokia Niko" should settle it, we'll see if Ohma surprises him.

Have to admit Golden Wind was good, Bruno Bucciarati was by far the best character in the series and I'm glad they had a two part post anime story with only the original Team Bucciarati. King Crimson would totally beat The World.

One episode into Stone Ocean now. Jotaro had a daughter, and the daughter hates him? Is he a shitty absentee father then? Disappointed if true, was glad to see he got his PHD and went from punk to Marine Biologist. Seemed way more level headed then Joseph (And how disappointing was it that he cheated on Susie Q and said Josuke's mom, Tomoko Higashikata, is the only woman he ever loved?)

While Susie Q is a nice character i cannot say with a good conscience that her story with Joseph made me believe in love again. Also I don't know if I'd trust Joseph on anything he says about women.

Good point about Joseph.

So.... Dragon Shot vs Blast Core vs Gott-Toter?

"We're introducing a new extremely powerful villain in Knight Terror as well. I probably made him TOO powerful, to be honest. But hey that's the hero's problem, not mine. We'll talk more about him in the future. But his introduction to the DC Universe is super screwed up and scary."

The retarded description aside, the artwork looks ****ing great.

yeah whoever drew that needs a raise

im excited for this

From the top of my head I'm more impressed with Blast Core, Dragon Shot is supposed to be absolutely top tier but it gets carried by Kannoh being a skillful son of a b*tch
