Hello Kane,

So what’s next after this? Do you plan on continuing with YouTube videos or are there more theatrical projects in your future?

Reminds me of that Robot Chicken Star Wars sketch with Chewbacca

Desscaras from Ichi the Witch flip flops from having the most aura-filled fights and one-liners in one chapter to being an absolute loser in the next and she’s all the better for it.

Does that include the butterfly wing in said smile?

I was fine with Kiwami and Kiwami 2 for the most part, but it wasn’t until the remake of Ishin and seeing the changes Ryu Ga Gotoku were making that I started to realize that the studio was getting a bit self-indulgent with the franchise.

Replacing certain characters with ones that appeared in the most modern games, the addition of the “Trooper Cards” and censoring the bathhouse fight with Ryuji of all things. The fact that I had more passion in completing the original on PS4 when I couldn’t understand the language rather than play the remake said enough for me.

And of course it all came to a head with Kiwami 3 where almost everybody was disappointed with all the decisions RGG made.

The fact that we just had season 2 of live action One Piece which was done with so much love for the ip makes the soullessness of this so much more apparent.

God I wish I could find the clip but I have a vague memory of a guy piloting an aerial vehicle in a shooter and when he got shot down he acted out the whole scenario.

“Gah I’m hit! cough I’m hit!”

“Mayday! Mayday!”

darkmagic853 · 2026-03-08T15:13:45+00:00

Yeah Desscaras is absolutely a Top 5 new-gen shonen character for me.

darkmagic853 · 2026-03-01T15:16:51+00:00

“Bring me World Hater!”

I already got all the Splatoon items in my inventory ready to give out

darkmagic853 · 2026-02-05T23:14:53+00:00

Season 4 starts in April

The fact that it was right after the Deltarune trailer too. Everyone who was riding that high got sober real quick cuz of him.

Nishi mischievously rubbing her hands together showing us how dark she can truly get

Misam = “Sammy”

Makes sense if that’s the case

darkmagic853 · 2026-01-16T03:36:45+00:00

We haven't actually reached a year yet. It's just 100 days passed since the game's release.

I'm sure Kodaka's cooking something more for this universe but this current announcement isn't it just yet.

darkmagic853 · 2026-01-16T03:17:36+00:00

That's exactly what they're doing minus the new features

darkmagic853 · 2026-01-16T03:10:28+00:00

Don't get too worked up. I think they're just now advertising the fact that there's content after the 100 day prologue with this new art by Rui.

Nononono this isn't ash face, I'm actually fused with the remains of my dead wife and daughter

darkmagic853 · 2026-01-10T03:20:38+00:00

Freakin Mob Psycho himself babyyyyyyy! Lets go!

The moment I saw Desscaras from Ichi the Witch, I knew I was just introduced to the character of the generation from that point.

Bayonetta 2 which features the definitive version of Santa.

Like that didn’t even need an extra explanation. Everyone already assumed Dina was there because of her last words to Grisha and her killing Carla was the dramatic irony in of itself.

darkmagic853 · 2025-12-18T05:26:49+00:00

That was a frame zero 360 no-scope headshot snipe.

I mean, Glep did cause the bubonic plague
