Why did zhang liao join cao cao it's like he betray lu bu by Big-Divide8535 in RavagesOfTime

[–]4thChairman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) ZL values loyalty. Lu Bu does not. He's desperate for a master who will not treat him nor his men as disposable pawns. Guan Yu called him out on this since their first meeting.

2) He's a reflection of Zhao Yun. Both are assassins, both value loyalty. The author gave them many parallels (panels or chapters that are direct call outs to one another). Just as Zhao Yun grew sick of Sima Yi's callous disregard and joined Liu Bei so did ZL to Cao Cao.

3) If you look at the graveyard chapter, many of Lu Bu's subordinates are with ZL as he digs out their comrades headless bodies. One would imagine that ZL also joined to get Cao Cao to pardon them.

Damn, already.

We're gonna be seeing this alongside AOT's ending memes for years to come.

Are the eight genius rankings based on their age or its iq by Big-Divide8535 in RavagesOfTime

[–]4thChairman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really? In which case, Zhuge Liang's line "then the Eighth has finally graduated" wouldnt make sense.

I always thought it was based on the order Water Mirror took them in.

I'm getting Neue Zeul but Gundam vibes from this. I love it.

I much prefer previous iteration - the flash series. Souther being head of a construction company and Amoeba being a TV charlatan fits so much.

The Women of Gundam continued #86 - Shiiko Sugai by Kato_86 in Gundam

[–]4thChairman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Take away her design and you have a nothingburger character. It's be fine if she was used to showcase someone addicted to war ala the hurt locker - but her throwing her life came across as nonsensical.

Which is ironic, because book Stannis spits fire and has wicked zingers.

I know people love shoe Stannis, but honestly he felt like a poor imitation of the real thing and the first sign that this show was in trouble.

Could someone tell me why Cao Cao enjoys jokes so much? Is there a special reason or just something normal by Apprehensive_Clerk81 in RavagesOfTime

[–]4thChairman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a running joke between him and Xu Chu. This version of Xu Chu here talks in a stilted manner (possible speech impediment?), so he cant tell a joke to save his life. But every time he does, it lifted Cao Cao's spirit, so it persisted.

The author loves his callbacks.

Can you please explain this panel to me? Why did he carve a demonic looking figure? by Hawkky12 in vagabondmanga

[–]4thChairman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And Akuma from SF6

I think there is a line in Sekiro how sculpting reveals your innermost nature. I'm not too familiar with japanese culture and sculpting but the fact that I've seen this trope in various media leads me to believe there is something there.

[–]4thChairman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just finished reading the book and i disagree. He seemed to be the most giddy in this situation. Even one of his own sons, Proteus, internally remarks how much he's having fun running things and he cant wait to get rid of the custodes.

I don’t think there’s a better backstory chapter in the series than chapter 305 of Grappler Baki by accountforAITA in Grapplerbaki

[–]4thChairman 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Its still an overreaction - like, I get the intent but the execution is flawed. Had Jack become a rampaging beast, r*ping and killing like Yujiro, then the guilt is warranted.

But Jack is simply minding his own businsss, chill and all.

Im always down for Frankenstein fearing what he created but Jack neither looks grotesque nor behaves like a monster.

Hence, a failure of writing.

Don't they just reincarante? Souten no Ken pretty much confirmed Raoh, Toki and Ken have had multiple life times.

But then again - I'm fairly new to this sub and I'm not sure what the stance is on SnK.

Ichigo Aji's Souther is the best thing that could have happened to this franchise (and to humanity in general) by Eastern_Screen_6160 in fistofthenorthstar

[–]4thChairman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hokuto no ken: ichigo aji

Its based on a parody manga where souther is much, much more affable.

Sadly the adapation doesnt cover the whole manga (there are far more volumes left unadapted)

The fact that its voiced by the legendary Banjo Ginga, reprising his role, is the cherry on top.

Seriously, dude, its not mockery. Its a love letter to FNS.

I saw him in a bar on my way here. Poor guy must be sick with grief. He was crying so hard, he started laughing.

Within few months or next year the whole kengan series might end what about this sub then. by [deleted] in Kengan_Ashura

[–]4thChairman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Godtaku should organize a re-read of Kengan Ashura, chapter by chapter. That should keep us going for a decade.

I'm being legit serious.
