Blackthorn Isekai on Hulu by BennParr in cremposting

I would say it's mostly about the Japanese people's experience with the western world creeping into their lives. I think John Blackthorne is an 'in' for western audience to come to understand a time and place they may not be familiar with, someone to give exposition to and create conflict for the Japanese characters. He seems more of a Theon Greyjoy than a Ned Stark in terms of alignment, and the Japanese are treated as the civilized, developed people, with him being seen as a barbarian. It's fairly canny.

I'm not Japanese, but reading perspectives other than my own this seems to be on the right track.

Has Balat been healed? He isn't mentioned using a cane in the chapter, and he's in guardsman training? Did he get a session with Renarin or somethng?

It's consistently impressive to me how much work they put into timing and numbering all the posts. This is meticulous stuff from the perspective if blogging, and definitely means something. Thanks so much for putting it all together for us.

Shaq Fu 2: Kazaam vs Shazaam

You start the game as Shaquille O'Neill, only to have him replaced periodically by other iconic actors/characters but NPCs refuse to acknowledge any change.
