#240 cm/7'10

[dxc-95]

Franky: Hey, where's Tenshi? Zoro: Celebrating. Tenshi: (leaping onto Franky's back from behind) I'M NOT THE TALLEST ANYMORE!

[chopperpirate]

Chopper happily ran forward, leading Lum through the city. Upon reaching a rather upscale hotel, Chopper squealed excitedly at the sight of his friends talking. A tall, beautiful woman with black hair and an even taller cyborg man with blue hair, roughly 240 cm (7'10"). "Robin! Franky!"

"Oh, there's our SUPER doctor!" The cyborg announced as he struck a pose, clanging his forearms together as the lovely woman approached Chopper and Lum.

Looking down at the two with a warm and welcoming smile, the woman spoke in a soothing voice, giving Lum direct eye contact. "Ara, you must be a friend of his. Thank you for looking after our doctor."

Chopper giggled and nodded his head, not hesitating to confirm the woman's assessment of the situation. "She flew me into the sky! She's the best! Her name's Lum!"

"I've decided then!" Chopper grabbed the girl's hand in his small hoof and looked up at her with a determined gaze, understanding that he owed her his trust and friendship after the incredible flight they had.

"You'll be coming with me to where my crew is staying! They'd all want to meet the person I spent Christmas with!" His smile widened, hoping Lum would be ecstatic at the chance to meet new friends even if they were a bunch of pirates.

Rating Pirates on whether you should date them or not - Dressrosa Edition (Pt. 1)

Once again, these are just for fun and are my opinions. Chill out.

1. Doflamingo

-3/10

I say this as someone who can stand looking at him... Just no.

Is this guy human or cockroach I can't fucking tell

Literally a manipulator, good for character development but therapy costs a lot more

He makes fun of poor people before getting angry at them for being poor

Also he's kind of a colonizer but ig we can't talk about that here...

2. Trafalgar Law

8/10

He's cool, Law probably knows where the good tattoo places are

He gives off that "Emo Hipster Barista vibe" and I honestly think it's hilarious

He does not sleep, please make him go to bed pulling all-nighters isn't cute

Only reason I docked points is because he looks like my uncle and it's scary

3. Bartolomeo

7/10

Barto's literally just an intimidating geek and I love that concept so much

He'd try to impress you a lot, but I feel like that would be showing you his Straw Hat Pirate collection or something dorky like that

Despite the whole nerd thing he has going on, he's got some violent destructive issues and I really don't think that's good to overlook.. Docking points there

Very good at doing home piercings

4. Bellamy

6/10

Alright.. Let's get this over with

You can expect a lot of loyalty from Bellamy, but he'll probably do stupid things on impulse because he'll think it'll impress you

He posts like a fucking DAD

He feels like the type to make fun of you for stupid things, he'd laugh at you for being shorter than him because he's 240 cm (7'10")

All in all, Bellamy's going to love only you, but he's going to be a jackass during that period of time

5. Cavendish

4/10

Cavendish was the kid who who had a "demonic side" in 2008 and wasn't lying about it

He's a theater gay, I can't see anything past him besides just being a hoe on stage wearing heels

He'd treat you like his understudy rather than his partner, which is obviously an issue

He's just very self-centered, and that has to be resolved before anything can work out successfully

Part 2 will be out soon I think, I have to think of characters that fit the bill on here

And before you all ask Dellinger is a big no-no, I don't touch that minor shit

175. Sonic the Hedgehog #107

Crouching Hedgehog, Hidden Dragon (臣人豪猪臧龍) (Part Two)

Writer: Karl Bollers Pencils: Ron Lim Colors: Frank Gagliardo

Yes, those are the same Chinese characters as last time. I was kind of hoping they would have used different ones so we could have a second nonsense phrase to laugh over, but alas. The morning after the dragon's attack, Sonic and Tails are playing video games when they're called to a morning meeting with Station Square's president. Once in the meeting, the president begins to explain his strategy for taking on the dragon, but Sonic is less than interested.

Sonic suddenly realizes he recognizes the team as the one that captured him at the beginning of Sonic Adventure 2, and promptly bursts into hysterical laughter, remembering how easily he disarmed them last time. Sally is quick to salvage the situation by claiming that it's Mobian tradition to laugh at their allies as a show of respect, and a confused president and annoyed Paladin Team look on as every Mobian at the table howls with laughter to keep up the ruse. Sonic, however, is not pleased with the tough-guy, humorless attitude that every member of the team exudes, and Sally, Rotor, and Antoine stay behind in the city as Sonic, Tails, and Bunnie airdrop in with the team to Pyro Island, where the dragon is believed to be hiding out. The Mobians are cheery, singing and chatting with one another, but the leader of Paladin Team admonishes them for not taking things seriously. While everyone is distracted, two of the Paladin Team members lag behind everyone else, not realizing that there's a shadowy, snakelike figure stalking them from behind. As the Mobians and humans begin to argue, they suddenly notice the disappearance of two of their team members.

While the humans angrily head out to find their missing team members, Sonic, Tails and Bunnie press on into the trees, trying to figure out where a dragon might hide. Tails spots a cave behind a waterfall, and they duck inside, to be immediately greeted by… Dulcy! It's been a while since we've seen her! Her arm is in a sling, but otherwise she seems fine and happy to see them. Suddenly, the red dragon emerges from behind her, but Dulcy quickly explains that this is Zan, and she's in a relationship with him. However, he begins to act aggressive, insisting that the others are their enemies and shouldn't be here, to her dismay.

Well, that changes things a bit. Everyone tries to convince Zan to settle down so they can talk things out peacefully, but Zan becomes even angrier when Dulcy agrees. He's interrupted from scolding her for relying on them when a net entangles his mouth, shutting him up, and the humans all rush in with guns drawn, ready to kill both dragons. Sonic utilizes his super speed to take apart all their guns before they can fire, but then Zan breaks free of his muzzle, gloating that now that they're unarmed he can kill them easily. Sonic steps in the middle to prevent that from happening either, and then Dulcy, from the back, quietly speaks up.

So this isn't the only "surprise domestic abuse" plot in a Sonic canon. Anyone who's played Sonic and the Secret Rings knows that an abusive romantic relationship plays a big part in that game's plot as well. But it still does come as a big shock here. Sonic freaks out, infuriated that Zan would hurt his friend, and begins wailing on him, while Tails and Bunnie rush outside to check on Dulcy. She repeats certain stock phrases that are common of abuse victims, such as "he loves me" and "maybe it's my fault," while Bunnie reassures her that she's not at fault at all and deserves better than to be treated this way. It's honestly a decent portrayal of the guilt that abuse victims become stuck with, just very condensed, because this comic doesn't have time to throw in a whole long subplot about Dulcy's emotional recovery. Instead, it takes a fast-track approach, as while Sonic and Zan fight, Paladin Team sets up explosives and blows up the entire cave, with Sonic and Zan still in it! That'll solve it!

Everyone outside is horrified and rushes forward to try to dig them both out, but Sonic emerges safely, tunneling his way out from under the rock. However, Zan isn't so lucky. The team contacts the president, informing him that the dragon that menaced them is dead and the city is safe again, and he agrees formally to take in the Overlander refugees, while Sonic, Tails, and Bunnie stay with Dulcy at the ruins of the cave till nightfall, letting her mourn despite the abuse.

Fittingly, our character file for this issue is for Dulcy! She's an outlier in almost every way compared to the other characters so far. Since she's a dragon, you'd expect her to be bigger than the others, but I wasn't expecting her to be so massive. She's a whopping 240 cm or 7'10" tall, and weighs 111.8 kg or 245.9 lbs! That's easily taller than Big the Cat and E-102 Gamma, the tallest characters in the games (not counting bosses such as Iblis or Dark Gaia), though not nearly as heavy as either of them. Her wingspan also comes out to 169 cm or exactly five feet, which correspond well enough to how they're usually drawn as proportionately small. However, that's not the most interesting thing about her file. Based on her behavior and this recent relationship of hers, how old would you say Dulcy is? Seventeen? Eighteen?

She's thirteen.

I was honestly shocked when I found this out. This means that most of the previous times we've seen her, she was literally only twelve, not even a teenager yet. This actually puts a lot of her behavior into perspective - her somewhat crybaby attitude and nervousness in the face of danger, all that is due to literal immaturity. This means she was only about two years old when the war against Robotnik started, with her birthday being August 23. The file explains that when Robotnik began his coup, he heavily targeted dragons before any other creatures due to their sheer power. One such dragon, Sabina, sought protection for her daughter Dulcinea (Dulcy's real name) among the Kingdom of Acorn before she too was captured. Dulcy grew up over the years and helped the Freedom Fighters, though she mainly lived outside on her own due to her massive size. Interestingly enough, the file also attempts to provide a bit of a retcon for the whole "dragons can sense truth" plot hole that I pointed out all the way back during Endgame, instead suggesting that Dulcy in particular is just a very trustworthy individual who doesn't like telling lies and has an instinct for knowing when someone is being truthful, which I can accept. It's a lot better than the handwave from before, anyway.

Reunification (Part II)

Writer: Ken Penders Pencils: Dawn Best Colors: Robbie O'Quinn

Lien-Da is pissed. Apparently, she actually didn't expect Knuckles to be able to reverse the effects of the Quantum Beam, despite Dimitri not only promising Knuckles he'd do so himself, but even encouraging Knuckles to do so on his own. Dimitri is also shocked, though more at the sheer extent of Knuckles' power, which exceeds even his own when he was Enerjak.

What, Lien-Da? You think you're gonna recruit Remington or something? Remington's an upstanding guy, man, I think your chances are… uh… well, I suppose we mustn't forget about the time traveler girl who apparently thinks he's gonna murder Knuckles. Remington asks her for her name and she gives the name "Jani-Ca," though internally she notes that she's trying to hide her own identity, meaning this isn't her real name. Wynmacher and Lara-Le rush up, concernedly asking after Knuckles, and while Remington states he hasn't seen him, Jani-Ca hides her surprise at seeing a younger version of her grandmother. Wait - grandmother?! Then that means she's…

The Chaotix are back as well, having landed right back in the ruins of the Grand Conservatory, with their dialogue again suggesting that they haven't been away for long due to the slower time scale within the Twilight Zone. In Haven, the various members of the Brotherhood are dismayed to find the place trashed from Knuckles' earlier bursts of uncontrolled power, though they instead suspect the Legion's hand. They notice that Matthias and Hawking are no longer there, realizing that they've both died and headed on to the "next evolution," AKA echidna heaven. They sense one more soul with them, whom we know is Tobor, but they can't figure it out. Locke briefly worries that it might be Knuckles before hearing Knuckles' ghostly voice reassuring him that he's fine and currently in the city. Far from reassuring Locke, this only makes him worry that instead of his great plans for Knuckles to be a savior, instead his worst fears have come to pass. What, Locke, you starting to think that maybe genetically engineering and irradiating your unborn baby wasn't a good idea after all?

*sigh* So, yes, everyone, this is Knuckles' future daughter Lara-Su. Anyone who knows Penders and his whole lawsuit debacle will know exactly who this is. Now, she's kind of an unpopular character because of this (and because many people essentially dismiss her as Penders' Mary Sue OC), and there are definitely valid criticisms to be made about her inclusion into the comics, but I'm not going to immediately jump into hating her just because of the circumstances of her creation. After all, we still know basically nothing about her, not even how she came to be, and anyway you all know that I prefer to judge a character or story on its own merits and not on how likeable its creator is.

Everyone's conversations are interrupted by a flash of light, and Dimitri materializes in the middle of the group. Remington, of course, steps forward intending to arrest him, but Knuckles stops him much to his shock. Dimitri grins in a super-duper-not-an-evil-villain way and says that Knuckles has finally seen that he and his Legion only wish to rejoin the rest of echidna society, and that they're prepared to do whatever it takes to reintegrate…

"Ah~! I'm always happy to serve. Don't be afraid to ask for more!" The blond-haired man kindly replied, seeming to reserve such a gentle side for girls rather than his own friends.

Luffy just kept rubbing the spot on his hand where he was kicked (even though it didn't hurt) as Chopper sat on the grassy deck, looking from Sanji to the swing on the deck's lone tree, contemplating playing on it to pass the time.

Without warning, a tall, blue-haired cyborg, roughly 240 cm (7'10½"), rushed out from the lower cabin with a plate full of burgers. "Oi! Sanji! I'm done on my end! Wanna give em a try!?" He seemed to be grilling these in the same kitchen Sanji came from, having insisted on cooking for the others to give Sanji less of a handful for once.

“This looks so delicious. I can’t believe how easy it is to make these and it all comes from a bag? This is amazing. I can’t wait to eat it all at the same time and…actually maybe I should eat them slowly. I don’t want a repeat of last time.”

So, I love the Ultra Beasts and think they are a fantastic addition to the series. When I learned that Kartana is only 12 inches tall and that Celesteela is over 30 feet tall... I was pretty blown away. The sizes that these things span is wild, and I decided to make a pic comparing them side by side! I had to do a little guesswork and a LOT of math/resizing, but it should be quite accurate

Kartana - 1'00" (30 cm)

Nihilego - 3'11" (120 cm)

Moon - represented here as 4′9″ (145 cm)

Pheromosa - 5'11" (180 cm)

Buzzwole - 7'10" (240 cm)

Xurkitree - 12'06" (380 cm)

Guzzlord - 18'01" (550 cm)

Celesteela - 30'02″ (920 cm)

Franky was indeed tall, 240 cm (7'10½") in fact. It dwarfed Edmond's height easily, as well as most humans, but Franky remained friendly enough with their guest. "What're we!? Are you saying I'm a freak!? You shouldn't have, brother!" Franky joyously replied, a bashful smile on his face despite the words not exactly being a compliment.

"We're pirates! Don't worry though. I plan on having our captain stop at the nearest island to drop you off! I assume you don't wanna stick with known criminals after all."
