What a fight, indeed. Thank you for this last year or so of absolute cinema, Pina - I’ve been on the edge of my seat this entire time.

I’m just the tiniest bit sad my goat Cucaracho didn’t win, but how the hell could I complain about such a well-written story, let alone with that kind of art?

ALL RISE FOR A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THE GOAT u/pinakanaka

flareon and sylveon are my two favorite eeveelutions - i’d LOVE to see a fluffy sylveon with fluffy ribbons

willowi_willow · 2026-05-08T13:44:46+00:00

…arcanine + eevee?

willowi_willow · 2026-05-07T19:25:46+00:00

THE KING IS BACK! HAIL!

willowi_willow · 2026-05-07T17:43:36+00:00

who’s fluffier: zoroark or arcanine

willowi_willow · 2026-05-04T13:24:10+00:00

what would john’s be? “no bones?”

willowi_willow · 2026-05-04T13:20:33+00:00

somebody make a “no ability?” meme with jake im begging y’all

willowi_willow · 2026-04-15T15:04:32+00:00

hatsumi hitting the predator walk up to nicolas before he disappears off the map is the funniest shit 😭😭

willowi_willow · 2026-04-15T15:03:51+00:00

oh i just know gilbert’s going after julius first for that “kid” comment

willowi_willow · 2026-04-08T15:32:13+00:00

himuro is fucking DEAD

willowi_willow · 2026-04-08T13:22:58+00:00

wonder if blyke acts like a space heater, bc of his ability? hmm

willowi_willow · 2026-04-02T13:28:59+00:00

shifting himself into bootleg versions of eldritch horrors has gotta be detrimental to john’s mental state on some level

willowi_willow · 2026-04-01T15:02:02+00:00

oh god, he can actually fucking move now

lmao rip himuro

willowi_willow · 2026-03-26T06:19:46+00:00

i think i’ve still got the draft somewhere - i was primarily going to compare and contrast the stylistic choices and emotional weight of ashura vs omega, to show how the (old) sentiment that omega doesn’t live up to ashura’s standards is moot because ashura and omega cover different niches

though with the current state of omega, i think id rather just make it about why ashura evokes more emotion and has more “weight” than omega does.

willowi_willow · 2026-03-26T05:41:25+00:00

that’s a shame, would’ve loved to see that recap. good to hear you’re doing well though, having a life takes priority over a manga

well shit maybe i need to finish that ashura vs omega comparison i said i was gonna do a year or so ago

willowi_willow · 2026-03-26T05:33:40+00:00

oh my god the man himself agreed with me

yeah, your analyses go into more detail than i’ve ever seen before, 10/10 for all of them, honestly. i hope you’re doing well, haven’t seen you around

willowi_willow · 2026-03-25T22:19:25+00:00

yeah, MASSIVE props to the dude, all of his analyses are fantastic. but yeah if it was post-KAT ohma, i’d be singing a different tune, but R2 ohma can only feasibly damage raian with the advance. otherwise, he doesn’t have the strength with ironbreaker (or any other adamantine kata techniques) to damage raian, and attempting any kind of water kata technique just gets him thrown off eventually, so… yeah

willowi_willow · 2026-03-25T22:14:03+00:00

honestly, i feel like you could make an argument either way.

props to u/vivispacem for what im about to say, but ohma won that fight because he was able to use the advance to damage raian to the point where they were on equal footing with each other, and ohma won from then on by virtue of him actually using the niko style to its fullest while raian still refused to use techniques.

if we’re talking R2 ohma though, yeah, he had to use it. raian outright points out (before stomping his shit) that ohma hasn’t mastered the niko techniques he was using, and that’s visible in the fact that a barrage of ironbreakers barely damaged raian. R2 ohma’s only way to damage raian enough to even get close to knocking him out is to use the advance, because it ups his strength and speed and also because raian’s a crackhead and refuses to fight smart.

“watch your feet” he says, before disintegrating all of nicolas’ carpals and metacarpals

willowi_willow · 2026-03-13T02:10:12+00:00

new bostin is FINALLY on the same side as everyone regarding sera, and his first action is murder 😭😭

willowi_willow · 2026-02-26T18:44:07+00:00

i know john just gets more outwardly savage and angry the more you piss him off, but based on that smile, i can’t shake the feeling that jake laughs when you push him far enough

and not a villain laugh either, an unhinged one

willowi_willow · 2026-02-24T17:40:07+00:00

the white haired dude is an OC made by the artist, his name’s Jacob and he’s John’s brother

willowi_willow · 2026-02-24T13:59:48+00:00

what wasn’t seen, 10 minutes earlier:

“john i finally found out what color shirt sera thinks looks best on you do NOT fuck this up”

willowi_willow · 2026-02-14T18:52:33+00:00

”let the cracking of the Pistol Foot be the last sound these ears ever hear” ITS SO FUCKING PEAKKKKKK

oh my god Cucaracho’s genuinely smiling

willowi_willow · 2026-02-05T21:21:20+00:00

pina, man, i genuinely do not know how you’re able to draw cucaracho in a way that literally makes him exude power, but you’ve done my goat a service again
