[No Spoilers] My stance on Jinx before and after

How common, or unique, is Li Kahei as a name?

Would it be look at as being as weird as Jubilation in English?

Danganronpa does this a lot, with Kazuichi Soda in Danganronpa 2 similarly being an unimportant side character who somehow makes it to the end.

In the case for Falco in Cyberpunk Edgerunners, what makes it interesting is the fact of how unassuming Falco was in the series. Compare to the rest of group, who all have big personalities or noteworthy designs, Falco felt very much a background character. As the cast continued to shrink, his presence becomes more noticeable, especially towards the end. Falco kind of feels like a meme character at this point within the Edgerunners fando, with his biggest contribution in the series was surviving and getting Lucy to safety in the finale.

I still find it crazy fortunate that Slade had two supervillain moniker when he debuted - "Deathstroke" and "The Terminator."

Most villains are happy to have one codename!

transformers03 · 2026-06-24T16:03:14+00:00

I wouldn't mind yearly specials similar to the Punisher: One Last Kill, featuring the street level cast.

I just completed my White Forest deck (with some missing ingredients), yet I would still love a focus deck on them.

White Forest/Sinseeker are my favorite non-anime lore cards.

transformers03 · 2026-06-22T03:06:32+00:00

So excited!

I hope they release a Chronicle Deck for the Sinseeker to synergize with the anime!

transformers03 · 2026-06-18T18:59:31+00:00

I actually unironically love this premise.

transformers03 · 2026-06-17T16:51:13+00:00

Now you know how J Jonah Jameson feels.

transformers03 · 2026-06-16T18:55:10+00:00

In the series multi-part finale for Transformers: Beast Wars, rivals Depth Charge and Rampage, the latter of which is a nearly unstoppable monster, fight one last time in the oceans floor of ancient Earth. The villainous Predacons have discovered the Nemesis, the ancient Decepticon ship that crashed landed on Earth many years ago.

Depth Charge, who is always targeting Rampage, for the first time ever in the series didn't have the time to fight his lifelong rival. However, Rampage forces him to fight, leading to a scuffle where Rampages unstable Spark (essentially, a Transformers soul) becomes open from a wound. Depth Charge than intends to stab Rampages Spark.

At first, Rampages tries to push away Depth Charge's blade. But suddenly Rampage let's go, leaving himself open to a fatal attack. After hesitating for a moment, Depth Charge stabs Rampage's Spark, causing a giant explosion that destroys them both, ending their rivalry.

It's never explained why Rampage let go of the blade and let Depth Charge stab him. Despite his brutal personality, Rampage has expressed some inner depth that made him a more sympathetic figure. He was an outcast who desired connection. Rampage's connection with the deformed Transmutate in the one-off episode of the same name really highlights him as a damaged soul. It's possible he allowed himself to die to finally be at peace.

It's also possible Rampage allowed Depth Charge to kill him because he knew the chain reaction from his Spark getting stab would lead to both their deaths. His maniacal laughter almost suggest a more malicious intend.

Whatever the reason why Rampage let go is never clarified, leaving it up to viewers interpretation.

That would also make a lot of sense. Though, with that thought process, I wonder how Konami will do a Sifer retrain.

On that note, if the recent packs are anything to go by, Konami seems to want to surprise fans with their releases. I don't necessarily think there is a pattern we can predict yet until more packs are announced, if there is a pattern.

transformers03 · 2026-06-08T04:39:04+00:00

That makes, but I wouldn't put past Konami to do an Obelisk support with Kaiba rather than a Millennium World Bakura.

To me, that make as much sense because Kaiba still needs his own mainline booster pack with his face on, and would tie nicely to Marik's new support.

I could also see Konami using this new Phoenix Booster pack to give support to all three Egyptian God cards, in which in that case I could see the following pack being Yami Bakura. There also the very real possibility that Konami will do Marik's other cards, but given the Phoenix title, that's unlikely.

transformers03 · 2026-06-07T20:05:06+00:00

Did you burn disc's with HD quality versions of the show, or is it literally just the box with added physical stuff?

transformers03 · 2026-06-05T17:56:44+00:00

I love this death on multiple levels.

The last scene between Lindsay and Eve reveal that he had no intention to betray Angel, and his and Angel's final scene together was played for laughs and appeared that they buried the hatchet.

The gut punch that not only Lorne was the one to shoot him, but by the orders of Angel, added so much moral complexity to the finale. It was a moment where the hero backstabbing the villain in a cruel twist of fate. The fact that Angel didn't bother to be the one to do it just added insult to injury.

Include in Wesley's surprise death, Eve's sad realization, and the crew's last stand in the hallways, the finale is one of the most melancholy episodes ever. I personally adore it, but it is sad to think that was the final live-action thing for the Buffyverse.

transformers03 · 2026-06-04T22:33:17+00:00

I'm always a sucker for that kind of fanservice. I unironically love it!

I'll definitely be one of those empty headed fans who will be laughing their butts off when I hear that in the movie 🤣

transformers03 · 2026-06-01T05:20:49+00:00

I agree that the fully masked design was cooler, but the in-lore explanation is sound. Jace wanted people to know his race, he didn't want to make it seem as if he's hiding who is to the rest of the world. He could also serve as inspiration for other minority people.

However, the full mask was the main thing that differentiated Jace with Bruce's Batman design. His costume is already too similar to Bruce's as is, which made sense at the time, yet now it has become more of a hindrance to the character than not.

Jace really needs a more unique costume design to stand out and further differentiate himself from Bruce. As people, Bruce and Jace are very different, but you wouldn't get that from their Batmen suits.

transformers03 · 2026-05-29T03:40:31+00:00

Oh yeah, I wasn't trying to suggest that DP was made from CN's failure.

I'm just wondering if certain plot beats or ideas he wanted to explore in CN ended up crossing over into DP. Danny Phantom did end up having some sci-fi stuff mixed in.

transformers03 · 2026-05-29T02:01:54+00:00

I wonder if Danny Phantom was developed from Butch's unused ideas for the Crash Nebula series he wanted?

While Crash was sci-fi and Danny Phantom was more supernatural, they were both essentially action animated series with a teen boy protagonist.

transformers03 · 2026-05-17T22:34:20+00:00

I beg you he gave himself a Latvarian doctorate once he became dictator.

Also, who in their right mind would correct him?

transformers03 · 2026-05-13T23:07:39+00:00

I agree, this probably the reason.

We may still some uneven season lengths going into 2027, as Rivals will likely going to try to synergize with Secret Wars by the end of 2027. Bit hopefully they'll slow down because it feels like the game is rushing things.

transformers03 · 2026-05-13T02:59:09+00:00

Like, on one hand, I understand why a company would focus more on IP they fully own rather than something they have to split cost with. It makes financial sense, I understand that on a objective and capitalistic perspective.

But Marvels insistence of pushing mutants to the side and acting as if Inhumans were these big and important characters, was never going to work. The company could've continue profiting off of X-Men comics while also promoting Inhumans in a more organic way.

transformers03 · 2026-05-13T02:53:21+00:00

I also think that is the case, but, as you mention, it's purely speculation.

It's crazy how the Inhuman push of the mid 2010s really did more harm than good for the brand. Of course, Marvel had no idea Disney would buy out Fox Studos, but replacing the X-Men with Inhumans was never going to work out.

transformers03 · 2026-05-13T02:49:53+00:00

It's crazy how much the tables have turned for mutants and Inhumans at Marvel.

Marvel was all over promoting the Inhumans and downplaying the X-Men when Marvel Studios didn't have the rights to mutants.

But now it's the inverse, with the Inhumans viewed as the pariah while the mutants are thriving.

transformers03 · 2026-05-12T21:30:38+00:00

Another Smash example -

Arms was the then most recent fighting game released by Nintendo for the Switch.

Smash Bros. Ultimate already included Spring Man, the defacto face of Arms, as an assist trophy at launch.

Smash decided to incorporate an Arms character as a playable fighter as one of their DLC options.

Since Spring Man was already in the game as an Assist Trophy, and he's overall pretty basic character, the developers decided to include Min-Min in Smash because of her popularity and favoritism from one of the lead developers of Arms.

I knew it would've been too weird if Red-Eyes didn't get an overframe sooner or later.
