#K.o

So a fun, layered cute detail from the first Ranma 2024 ending.

One of the pictures that shows Akane's mental thoughts on Ranma, is the word Batsu, accompanying a boxers sign.

Now the word batsu means "Wrong" or used when you want to show that a word has been "Censored" the equivelant of having a loud, annoying beeping sound in the west to cover up a character saying "Fuck" but you have to get in by the censors while not actually hiding it.

The word batsu is also used in the context of being symbolized by an X mark, hence why it's often used by japanese people as a gesture for a No, or refusal.

However, that is generally used in front of you, while the overhead gesture is rarer, though still used.

However, there is another meaning, one related to martial arts.

This symbol, used in boxing, is(or at least was as i'll go over below) the japanese symbol a referee uses to illustrate a Knockout, or K.O.

or due to the complexity of the Japanese language, you can read that in turn as O.K instead, which obviously spells out loud Okay, a sign of approval.

The final twist, as the above example uses, is that from what i can tell, Japanese boxing referee's changed what sign they used to reference a K.O at some spot after the year 2000, but it was still used in the 80's and 90's when Ranma is set.

Meaning this one, single, quick shot most people would totally miss is a multilayered reference showing how Akane is a tsundere who actually wants Ranma while professing the opposite, using a dated sports reference modern people wouldn't even get as it's so dated that when Saotome Senshu(the manga the modern sign reference is from) did it for the same point, they used a completely different, more modern sign to get the same point across.

I have my reservations about this newer version, but i'll give them 10 for just going all in on the smaller details.

OK K.O sketches! I don’t really know what other content to post, so here’s some stuff. If anybody requests, I’ll make a post with each picture separate. Sorry I’m not posting often, I’ve had art block!

Cuentos completos: Otro cuento ruso

Otro cuento ruso esta en mi top personal de mejores relatos de Bolaño. Por dos motivos: El primero porque cumple con el knock out de Cortázar respecto a los relatos, corto, conciso y un gran puñetazo final que logra el K.O y el segundo os lo digo al final. Esta relato es menos ruso que el anterior, pues lo protagoniza un sevillano, un sorche de la división azul en su búsqueda de gloria y muerte…

Y'all, I worked on some old ass redraws of The Woodsman and Chaos/K.O.

First off we have K.O./Chaos. Xir are Life and everything in it, and Xir forced Xirself into Mabel. I based this form off of a fix named Rainbows by @seiya234!!! Something y'all need to check out. I didn't change much about Xir Design tbh.

The only thing I changed about Xir is the C section 'scar' on Xir abdomen! While Xir isn't technically the triplets parent, Xir was woth Mabel through the whole thing. K.O. is proud of the triplets and what they become. So I figured K.O would like to have that 'scar' as a reminder of Xir's Not!children. Not only that but K.O's body(not hair) is a combo of Mabel's Shooting star sweater.

Next up we have The Woodsman. I didn't change much, except for an artistic interpretation of him. His 'antlers' to be exact. Instead of actual, antlers I made them Birch branches!! Just because he's very Earth Themes and becomes the Ygdrissl(sorry for the mispel) tree later!! He belongs to @seiya234 as well btw!!

If y'all wanna see more of these charaters check out the @transcendence-au !!! I've been following that blog for years, and if never ceases to amaze!!

gedənə sözüm yoxdu. getmək yolun təbiətində var. həyatın bir parçasıdı və hamının başına gəlməlidi gec ya da tez. ama gedəndə də adam kimi getməyi bacarmaq lazımdı. bir evə necə girdiyin yox, necə çıxdığındı sənin necə adam olduğunu göstərən.
