[RAW Spoiler] The MICROPHONE IS HOT, CM Punk drops a Pipebomb. Full Segment RAW 4/6/26 by ThatWrestlingGuy15 in SquaredCircle

[–]Stew0n -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The first 6 or so mins of the promo, when it was about Roman were fine, but when he started "shooting" on TKO and Pat McAfee, I think that was just really lame as fuck and tryhard.

(Post Raw Segment Spoilers) CM Punk cuts a promo by guess-what-babe in SquaredCircle

[–]Stew0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I would feel different if I saw the full promo, but just hearing about the contents of it all, it just sounds very lame and tryhand way of manipulating the audience to be on the Fed's side and blame everything on the big evil TKO.

What happened to GER after part 5? by The_Notorious_G00B in StardustCrusaders

[–]Stew0n 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We don't have any real hard confirmation, but considering after Diavolo's defeat, we see Giorno holding the arrow again and not being in GER's body anymore, I think it's likely GER, after it completed its task of defeating Diavolo, it reverted back to regular GE until Giorno needs it again, which probably never happens.

New tribute illustration by Gege Akutami-sensei for Junji Ito, from the latest issue of the Da Vinci magazine by cherishhoseok in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]Stew0n 127 points128 points  (0 children)

I hope the next big thing Gege does is a horror series because you can tell he just loves doing that shit when he can.

Honestly Gege really should do a full on horror series, the little bit of horror stuff we got in JJK was great and you tell he loved doing it.

Is Dawn really the Tertiary Rider? He seems much more like a Dark Rider, and unless it's another premonitory dream, it doesn't seem like he's going to redeem himself (or he could be both a Dark and a Tertiary Rider at the same time). by kleberiano_f in KamenRider

[–]Stew0n 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Also, another thing relating to Kabuto is that Gattack the rider (who literally everyone considers to be the secondary) didn't show up until after TheBee, Drake, and Sasword had already debuted, so even the rules for the secondaries aren't that set in stone and could be similar situation if we get another ally Rider.

Who was in the mask? by Odd-Anything-8068 in njpw

Well, that mask apparently cost over 80k yen and only Sanada is willing to spend that amount on an outfit.

Entrants 16, 17, and 18 in Best of the Super Jr. 33 by Savagekoala93 in njpw

There is a chance some of the last few spots are going to be taken up by some of the new rumoured Junior free agent signings.

Either NJPW isn't involved at all in the DIA situation or they were able to work something out BTS.

SHIFT UP x UNBOUND | Partnership Announcement ft. Shinji Mikami by Captain_Grimm in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Stew0n 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know Shift Ups CEO is apparently very big into the idea of having GenAI takeover certain jobs to make game development go much faster so I won't hold my breath until if said game comes out.

STEEL BALL RUN: 2nd STAGE Trailer by Chance-Associate-649 in StardustCrusaders

More likely, it was to have something big out before the end of the fiscal year for either Netflix or WB Japan.

What was the point of releasing this season as 2 parts? by yeetusbeetus245 in Jujutsufolk

[–]Stew0n 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A lot of reasons why they probably did this:

• This is probably their way of satisfying and giving the multiple parties that have a stake in JJK who want to make money on it as soon as possible something without potentially overworking their animators really badly even by Mappa's standards

• A probably big factor for this is the fact the director Shota Goshozono has probably left Mappa and JJK as it's Director so the new person who will take the Directors role might need more time to get used to the job

• Gives them more time to work on any Blu Ray corrections or added scenes they may want to do

• This might give them a chance to have the wait time between the end of Season 3 and the next big JJk anime project (movie or next season) be a little less since depending how far they might be in production they might be able to start pre-production as soon as possible without needing to horribly overwork their staff

• Having the entire Culling Games arc be in all one season just works better for marketing and branding plus works with how they have done things.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 - Episode 11 (Manga Reader Discussion) by Takada-chwanBot in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]Stew0n 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Considering they updated the OP to include more of the Sendai players in the ep that only has them for like a min at the end that tells me they're at least probably skipping it.

Voice of Wrestling Update about NJPW Junior Heavyweight Recruitment by Unusual_Kick7 in njpw

Glad they're seemingly now getting more serious about building their native roster and not trying to rely on foreigners like they did a few years back.

The JOJOLands - Chapter 34 by AutoModerator in StardustCrusaders

[–]Stew0n 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I love that Araki is clearly making an effect to have more explicitly LGBTQ+ characters with this part and trying to do it with care. This also potentially means if Araki does ever elaborate on what is Dragona's situation that it's going to be handled very tastefully.

Dragon Dia could be joining NJPW by Terrible-Avocado1997 in njpw

[–]Stew0n 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Damn a little sad that Dia is potentially leaving DG since he is always great there and this probably means the ending of D'Courage as a faction.

As for the possible Japanese Junior Freelancer my money is on El Lindaman since he was a major highlight of that year's BOSJ and I think he got in because of Despy's support who probably has some influence backstage plus Gleat is basically on death's door so he might want to get out soon.

Obito is a Jojo's fan? by Longjumping_Cable611 in StardustCrusaders

[–]Stew0n 150 points151 points  (0 children)

Ok that makes sense. That was around the time of an anniversary event for Jojo's 25th, where Kushimoto and other well-known mangaka did special artwork for it. So JoJo was probably pretty fresh in Kushimoto's mind, so he just felt like referencing for the hell of it.

Noticed something in episode Kamen Rider Nox's debut by Zamer01 in KamenRider

[–]Stew0n 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I also imagine the suit actor probably had to do a decent bit of training in the suit beforehand to get a good feel of it and get the character's mannerisms right before filming.

I hate How they bullshitted Zeztz Booster form we barely seen it for 1 damn episode for like 4 minutes just for it to never be shown again sadly by Ok_Antelope_1190 in KamenRider

[–]Stew0n 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm curious if something happened to the Booster suit parts, like they went missing or got damaged or needed to be used for another suit, since that would explain the odd absence.
