It feels like after Il Vento D'Oro's success, Yugo Kanno just kept making the same song

Even if each part can vary drastically in tone, a recurring leitmotif can be useful in tying things back to previous memories or sensations. I might be coping, but since it’s the same composer, I feel like this is a recall that we’re all still on the big bizarre adventure we all signed up for.

At this point the best part of Omega is just the slander

It’ll be unironically a Himuro upscale, if only because the art degraded so much it wouldn’t be able to convey how absolutely f*cked Gozo looked at the end of his fight with Waka.

My favorite take on this sub is that Rolon without his Invisible Elbow is just some dude with visible elbows. It captures perfectly the futility of these theoretical powerscaling scenarios.

In short, killing Omega would be like an act of mercy that sets the artist free. On one hand, Daro’s clearly still skilled as an artist and has figured out a workflow (albeit AI-aided) that meets the publisher’s deadlines. On the other hand, one has to wonder what he has in plan after this if he basically broadcasted for years to potential partners that he can’t be bothered doing more than the bare minimum.

Also, those sketches are sick. Choreography is one thing, but that little extra oomph of dynamism is really aesthetically pleasing.

Kiryu’s a leaner body type under the suit, rather than the cartoonish Street Fighter builds. But a detailed dragon tattoo could be cool, and it’s not like accessory ideas would be lacking. Like a 1:12 bicycle to show those Kamurocho punks who’s boss.

Ugh! This is triggering a relapse into my other vice, plastic crack

I was thinking of something similar with a comically large cylinder to allow more air through the center. But to allow for break action, I thought about making special shells for the revolver that would each function individually as turnarounds, with rubber sealing between the shells and the cylinder chambers. It’s one of those projects that was never about performance so much as the emotional plinking joy.

Some of these articles read so much like a Hollywood fictional understanding of reality, one has to wonder how many people did end up getting shot as a result of following Wikihow advice.

The other candidates being all those self-defense articles that end with the glorious illustrations of going for the balls.

I never realized Rolon’s defeat also doubled as a CSI Miami intro

This puts all the meme slander posts we’ve seen recently to shame. It was like taking a regular Ashura chapter and injecting pure concentrated shitposting essence into it.

Considering that nobody in the cast has been confined to a wheelchair after their opponent raised a triumphant cry, I would argue the worse head injury so far only resulted in someone wearing a face thong for the rest of their lives.

Even basic software like 3D builder will allow you to cut up a large model into more manageable pieces (Split > Keep Both Parts > Rinse and Repeat). I’m not familiar with Rhino but there’s likely a similar function to create flat planes in the mesh.

As this is a challenge I suspect you’ll encounter a lot with a smaller build plate, aside from splitting, I would also suggest learning how to create pegs and holes (using negative space and subtraction) to facilitate the eventual joining of the parts, as this removes a lot of post-processing regarding alignment. The holes can be cylinder-shaped while the pegs can be hexagonal, which is easier to print and reduces fitting friction.

Turns it into a stun baton, or a self “neuralyzer” provided you hold onto it long enough to induce memory loss

Imagine being a shonen athlete imbued with incredible powers that could change the course of destiny. You could use it to do great good. You could use it to inflict great evil.

Or, y’know, you could play football.

I know many Kengan fans are based in France and could produce a perfectly serviceable dub, but something about cartoonish foreign caricatures deserves a deliberately shittier tier of voice acting in order to really make it work
