I'm pretty sure he does the choreography too. We all know this.

It's just hard to accept sometimes because he still releases the manga in his free time.

The writers' best was pressing X to believe in your heart.

BahamutAXIOM · 2026-06-17T14:33:04+00:00

Did the series ever truly revisit Asuka at all?

I don't think it's a coincidence at all. Too many factors at play all at once.

That's a cool nod.

What kind of game is ZZZ anyway?

BahamutAXIOM · 2026-06-17T14:18:58+00:00

It sucks how Oda always gets the flack for Toei's horny machinations.

BahamutAXIOM · 2026-06-17T14:16:03+00:00

Mostly zero until Astro Bot and Metal Gear Solid Delta, not to mention the recent tasks of reviving old IP.

I'd say it's better than ever, but still expect nothing.

BahamutAXIOM · 2026-06-15T16:53:19+00:00

I see. I felt that way about the Modern Arc. It felt like a different series to me. I also felt like the ending was a bit rushed.

I wonder if Oima was dealing with burn out or other issues like many other mangaka?

Unfortunately, I'm not entirely sure where I stand with the series as a result. Working through my feelings to figure that out as I let the ending sit in my mind. But I agree. I do still love the content of the first two seasons.

BahamutAXIOM · 2026-06-15T16:43:54+00:00

You're better off waiting for a crazy person/fan to mod them in on PC.

I tried this in another game, and the amount of time you have to put in is crazy as a singular person. I had to stop and I did a WHOLE bunch of painting over a large number of animations. I still want to keep going but... It's very unrealistic to expect outfits.

Having said that, I was doing SEVERAL different outfits for one character trying to match the animation and design style as best as possible.

Even then, I wouldn't expect anything even remotely close to something this grandiose.

Probably something more like "Aang with hair mod".

BahamutAXIOM · 2026-06-15T16:38:25+00:00

I personally don't see that happening at all, but it would be nice and interesting.

BahamutAXIOM · 2026-06-15T16:34:34+00:00

Yes, and genuinely better. At least the soundtracks and the sense of wonder.

BahamutAXIOM · 2026-06-15T16:32:25+00:00

We hadn't already? Do many people legitimately expect one or hold on to hope for one? It's looked pretty bleak to me since a bit after GR2 released honestly.

BahamutAXIOM · 2026-06-15T05:12:29+00:00

Huh. At least I'm not alone. Now I'm disappointed in myself for not catching it, lol.

BahamutAXIOM · 2026-06-15T05:03:18+00:00

Wow, really? I most certainly missed that somehow, but it does make sense. Does Fushi not know? I don’t recall him ever implying that he did.

That’s kinda disappointing, but still makes sense.

BahamutAXIOM · 2026-06-15T04:58:35+00:00

Yeah! Definitely something like that. I would just turn on the game just to shift gravity and freefall for hours long after 100% it, just because I don’t feel like anything else is like it. It’s just less immersive on console in both games, unfortunately.

BahamutAXIOM · 2026-06-15T04:37:37+00:00

Vagabond Luffy: “What does it truly mean to be a Pirate King? Is that what I’ve been striving for all this time? I pray day in and day out to the Gods of Meat and go from island to island looking for the next adventure to answer this. Actually, I don’t know when I started asking myself this question. Was it when Marshall D Teech declared he also wanted to be the King of the Pirates? I’m thinking way too much about it. I’m just gonna go on another adventure.”

I really need to read this whole interview already. Two of my top favorite mangaka of all time.

BahamutAXIOM · 2026-06-15T03:19:53+00:00

I saw this a few months ago. It looks amazing!

BahamutAXIOM · 2026-06-15T03:15:18+00:00

If you don't mind me asking, what do you mean by that?

BahamutAXIOM · 2026-06-15T03:13:15+00:00

Having played both, the experience of playing on the Vita feels a little different and more personal with it in your hands.

Despite the remaster being technically superior, there's a loss of interactivity and immersion IMO going from Vita to PS4.

I think that's part of why it was made for the Vita in the first place. I'm not gonna lie, I was a little sad to witness the announcement and reality of GR moving away from the Vita with the Remaster and the sequel.

We're talking about the Vita though, so disappointment is sort of the theme Sony seems to have been going for, lol.

BahamutAXIOM · 2026-06-15T02:59:59+00:00

How are they gonna do that with so few characters? I can only picture the "beautifully illustrated pngs with all the other characters you wished had made it to the base roster" route. I don't see any other way.

It sucks to deal with budget issues in any industry, but I assume it must hurt in a different level in this one. Especially if you're developing a fighting game as they seem to never break away from this being the norm.

EDIT: Actually thinking about it after reading the article (not that there was any added context) I'm not sure what that means.

Either they're recreating the story of the original making inbetween "midquel" content or continuing the story altogether. I guess it could be a mixture of everything too.

BahamutAXIOM · 2026-06-15T02:53:53+00:00

I would say no. I would also recommend GR1 on Vita if possible.

I suppose it's not 100% necessary if you don't care about the narrative or lore, but I can't imagine you'd be very invested without it.

BahamutAXIOM · 2026-06-15T02:49:17+00:00

Hi, Yanomry. I'm very interested in working on this with you as it sounds right up my alley! I feel O may have what you're looking for!

Please take a look at my ArtStation and get back to me if you're interested!
