[yyh4ever]

Canaria x Yu Yu Hakusho ~ Ataritsuki Trading Can Badges

Prizes: BIG Acrylic Stands; Stand Set (60 pulls)

The guys are showing off their skins on those stands! I like navels. Kurama is wearing too many clothes >_<. And, I can't believe they left Kuwabara out. I want shirtless Kuwa-chan!

This collab is scheduled to be released on July 29, 2023 by Canaria, a production company of anime and game goods. We don't have many info about it yet, but they usually release their products at anime and on online stores. Those atari-tsuki (lottery/vending machines) collabs, as the name suggests, are all about luck.

It costs 500 yen for a pull. You'll get one random can badge (diameter 58mm) out of 19 types. There are also 4 rare versions with holograms.

At least, they included anime pictures of Kuwabara, Koenma, the girls, Jin and Sensui in some badges.

Inside the can badge packet, you can get a ticket that corresponds to one of the 4 types of BIG Stands.

Then, exchange your ticket for the corresponding prize at the sales counter.

Prize 1: Yusuke

Prize 2: Kurama

Prize 3: Hiei

Prize 4: Youko Kurama (he is 273 mm!)

Last Prize: Stand Set

When you draw the last badge (60 pulls), you'll get the last prize: a "Stand Set" with the four guys.

Size: H190 x W65mm (maximum)

More info will be released on July 29th.

Custom Toonami Block Week 149 Rundown

Spy X Family: So yeah Anya’s got midterms and if she does really well she gets a gym badge but if she fails she gets an anti-gym badge for every subject she flunked so wiping out means she’d be halfway to failing entirely. The family gets Yuri to tutor her and makes some feigns towards plot progression from the dog arc but honestly I kinda really like the Yuri/Anya dynamic, like they’re both completely unhinged in the exact opposite ways so one of them is always saying something crazy as soon as the other comes back to sense. Though even though he manages to give her some motivation, Anya’s basically the opposite of a Mary Sue and is terrible at everything and can never improve so it doesn’t really work. They also mention that she loses her powers during a New Moon like she’s fucking Inuyasha or something but she hasn’t really been reading minds during tests in the first place, like initially she said she just didn’t know who was good at what subject yet so she wasn’t sure whose mind to read but it’s MID-TERMS I feel like she should probably have a good idea by now but even on other tests where she has her powers she’s doing crappily. Also there’s this weird little skit where Loid’s following this guy that’s a terrible spy trying to break in and change the grades while he’s ALSO trying to break in and change the grades and it just kinda makes everything more difficult. This guy strikes me as the kind of guy that thinks he’s a Rogue in a D&D campaign and he can just bluff and duck his way into top level shit completely ignoring the reality of how tight real security is. The guy’s ego’s so big he just lets Loid go as a witness and Loid just undoes the work he was doing to make the Desmond kids fail (which Loid theorizes was done by a political rival but I’mma say it was Desmond himself kicking his kids in the teeth because he’s an asshole and is like ‘failure will make you stronger, try sucking less’ because it would be more dramatic) Loid’s about to change Anya’s grades but he finds out she just barely passed everything so he lets her keep the mediocre score she earned because if he suddenly made her good enough to get a gym badge it’d be hella suspicious and not getting any anti-gym badges is best case scenario really. Though they show her grades and they’re in… the 30s? Like they show they’re still on a 100 point scale so like, how is a 30 passing? Everywhere I’ve been under a 60 is an F and some are more strict than even that so what kind of education system for this snobby prep school lets kids get away with 30s?

Inuyasha: So this episode is basically the fallout of everyone being like ‘wait was that fucking Kikyo?’ last episode, Not!Kikyo wipes out all of Abi’s birds and just kinda runs off and we get the usual ‘oh gosh Kikyo was mentioned so Inuyasha’s gonna be wistful for three episodes and Kagome’s gonna be mildly annoyed at everything because neither of them can make up their damn minds’ which to be fair they kind of curtail the period of it at this point in the series but after seeing it so often it’s really getting old, especially since her supposed death at Mt. Hakurei had its own little mini-arc, like we keep giving Kikyo closure and she keeps just coming back. But yeah they head off to meet her and Inuyasha’s kinda wishy-washy about wanting to go so he separates from the others to down some mook demons that only take him like five seconds anyway and he meets Kikyo’s avatar and her new attendants and turns out they’re all just Shikikami and Kagura’s happy to see Kikyo’s probably still alive because that pisses Naraku off but she gives up because she’s definitely not ten feet away in a Minority Report pool. Kagome gets through a barrier to see the REAL Kikyo who’s in a Minority Report pool trying to sleep off the poison and… death I guess.

Yu Yu Hakusho: This one’s a super exposition-heavy episode and spoilers but at the end we learn that part or all of it might be bullshit so it feels like one of those Attack on Titan episodes where they spend the whole episode planning a thing and then it just goes tits up at the very end of the episode and they have to wing it anyway. Essentially the three bald men that visit Yusuke are guys basically as strong as him and Hiei/Kurama but they’re using demonic pacemakers to put them on mook level so the barrier lets them through. In Demon World there’s three kings, the ‘let’s not eat humans’ guy, the ‘let’s maybe eat humans in moderation’ guy and the ‘let’s eat all the humans’ guy, and luckily Yusuke’s ancestor is the first one and not the last one but that also means he’s dying because he’s essentially been on a GOOP diet of bullshit for the past thousand years and that means war’s about to break out thanks to the power vacuum in Demon World. Now basically most of what Yusuke heard of all that is these bald-headed freaks think they’re stronger than him so he demands a fight. Turns out the leader’s ability is basically Luffy if he was in Parasyte the Maxim and he does some bullshit to tie Yusuke up and stab him in a despite still wearing his demon pacemaker and neither me or Yusuke buy that shit and he just fucking breaks the guy’s neck and asks if they love their king so much how come they still eat humans against his wishes. It’s a pretty good moment of Yusuke putting on his Phoenix Wright hat and actually outsmarting the bad guys while they’re still in the ‘we’re the new arc villains and we’re stronger than you’ phase so yeah he calls out them lying to him and puts them on the spot for how much of the story is exactly true.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Megumi and blind archer guy are having their fight and there’s more clan rich people eugenics bullshit and blind guy has the power of Gear Second and Deadman Wonderland and just wants his slutty mom to be a slutty happy mom Megumi’s just like ‘fuck you and your slutty mom you’re not killing my friend’ but uhh yeah I’ve been comparing this arc to the Chunin Exams and we’re officially at the Sand Village attacking part because the big boss spirit and all the other spirits they were supposed to be hunting get wiped out by the one-armed spirit’s Wood Style and they erect a specifically anti-Gojo barrier to keep his overpowered ass out of this fight. So yeah Scar-sensei and old dude go in to help and apparently old dude wields the power of Goofy Goober Rock which makes that one scene in the opening make a lot more sense in retrospect. Megumi, Blind Dude and Sushi Boy get swept up by the one armed cursed spirit and turns out they’re basically the reverse of a Captain Planet villain and just want people to stop polluting and shit and they’ll kill them all and more surprisingly a GIRL, I mean this is why cartoons give everything female long eyelashes because I couldn’t fucking tell and I guess she’s just got her tits out all the time but she’s got enough muscle that it doesn’t matter. So yeah we’ve got one of the main boss henchmen dropping in to say hello and judging by the preview and the opening she’s gonna head to Yuji next time, weird since I thought their plan was to trap Gojo in a Hyper Cube and you’d figure literally isolating him from everyone else would make a great time to try that but we’ll see I guess.

Zom 100: So this one’s kind of a rough one, like I’ll probably get to it at the end but there’s a lot of good points for this episode but also some stuff that bugs me a bit. Akira and Kencho have made a little mancave on top of the roof from last episode and inexplicably the power STILL works, like my god whoever’s keeping the electricity on during the zombie apocalypse deserves a raise. Kencho finds Akira’s bucket list and starts adding his own stuff to it, saying he’s going to see Akira’s journey through to the end now. They talk about the list a bit and how Akira has dating a flight attendant on the list because I guess that’s a fetish? But turns out Akira has never had a girlfriend at all and stupidly tells Kencho he’ll have one by the end of the day. So shelving that they decide to go shopping for a big-screen tv and end up trapped in a department store with one shady guy and three ladies who happen to be… flight attendants! Like I joked at the beginning of this show that Akira’s just had a mental break and there are no zombies and he’s just insane but if this world is real it really does seem to be bending to fit his crazy ideas. So yeah, the oldest and objectively coolest flight attendant gets drunk and bitten by the shady guy when he turns into a zombie and Kencho just straight up bangs the other one in the mattress department while Akira has a tender moment with the moe-est of them right after she makes it super clear there’s no romantic connection. Still they talk and Akira gives his usual deal about not letting your dreams be dreams and gets this girl excited to continue living her dream… just in time for her to die by getting bitten by the shady guy. Now notably they don’t make Akira mercy kill her, this is still mostly a comedy series and we’re not trying to heap Carl Grimes levels of trauma on our genki protagonist bur yeah she admits she’s content with the fun date they had and got to make people feel better during her job so she’s okay with Akira and Kencho getting the hell out of dodge, with Akira wanting to find out what his childhood dream was since Kencho has one and the moe attendant girl gave a pretty good speech about her own motivations and Akira admits to himself that his advertizing dream was just him getting caught up in a drive for success rather than something he really wanted to do. So yeah, cool story but like it’s hard to ignore this whole episode is just a long drawn out way to fridge these three girls, like straight up SAO Saki traumadumping by making these girls as moe as possible without giving them too much character development so we feel just bad enough when they die and it feels a little manipulative for a series that zig-zags how serious the zombies actually are so it leaves a slight sour taste in my mouth, like I can see the cogs of manipulation turning but that doesn’t mean they aren’t still effective cause damn it was sad to watch those girls die.

Ranking of Kings: Daida!Bosse is telling Snake Guy about how Miranjo’s family is from a kingdom that is the origin of magic and as such they were like ‘man fuck the gods’ and went to the Asshole Kingdom to recruit assholes to help them fight the gods but the Assholes of Asshole Kingdom were, shocker, asssholes, and turned on them and killed Miranjo’s mom as soon as things looked bad. Also all the gods are giant dudes that wear masks similar to Ouken’s, not sure if that’s relevant.Hilling meets back up with Spear Guy, Sword Guy, and Kirito and gets hyped for Bojji’s new powers while healing Spear Guy and sending the three of them off to help Bojji who is meanwhile still fighting Ouken. Despa and the Guard Captain show up because Bojji’s got this but he’s basically fighting that one round of the Seath the Scaleless fight where he just heals infinitely and it sucks. Though it turns out Despa has no practical power of his own and was calling in an airdrop from Desha this whole time so I guess he related to Bojji a lot more than we thought. Ouken’s figured out how to get around the lightning spam and stabs both Despa and the captain to let them bleed out because that’s his favorite thing to do despite killing anyone in this series already being hard enough without your main technique being ‘death monologue sword’ like I get it’s basically a pacifist series that promots Bojji’s kind-heartedness as the way of the future but people keep dodging these bullets so often I don’t have any confidence anyone’s actually going to die. Anyway Ouken goes after Kage next and manages to stab Bojji in the leg when he goes to protect him so now Bojji can’t dodge which is like his whole thing, but Kage turns into a giant shadow creature and eats Ouken so there’s that I guess.

Vinland Saga: So Thorfinn fights Thorkell in earnest and I think they just straight-up reuse some of the stuff from the opening but it’s pretty cool so it’s okay. Thorkell’s armored and huge so even though Thorfinn can dance around him all day he can’t really do more than give him papercuts. Thorkell makes fun of Thorfinn’s skill with a blade since he’s fast and strong but he basically just punches shit with daggers in his hands and Thorfinn calls him out on lecturing someone that’s fighting evenly with him and Thorkell tells him he wants to find his missing link too and hopes to find it through battle so he asks Thorfinn what it means to be a True Warrior which reminds Thorfinn of his dad’s death and how he’s currently in the process of fucking up his dad’s dying wish royally so he gets pissed but manages to not throw the whole fight like when Askeladd did it but still gets launched through the fucking air by one of Thorkell’s foot. Now as cool as all that shit is, it’s a lot to say that the most interesting stuff in this episode happens with Canute. Canute has a death dream about Ragnar and they get to say their goodbyes despite Ragnar saying ‘this is in your head bro but go ahead and let it out’. He wakes up and Bjorn is still fighting like ten dudes while hopped up on mushrooms so Canute and the Priest have a little chat while they wait for that to play out. He tells the Priest about his cool Ragnar dream and the Priest is like ‘that’s cool bro but that’s not real love’ and they have a big long speech about how loving a specific person precludes compassion for all people like how Ragnar would let people die to protect Canute and that the only things truly capable of love are those that can’t hurt anyone, ie nobody who’s alive, that’s probably a little bit of a minimalization nitpick to narrow down all compassion as simply favoring one person or group of people over others but I get what they’re going for. So the fact that Canute comes to the realization that people are incapable of loving each other unconditionally and universally yet it’s clearly the meaning of life to try fucking awakens his Conqueror’s Haki and he’s able to stop Berserker Bjorn with a hug and it may be the coolest damn thing in this series thus far. Bjorn gets stabbed by the other brother dude but Canute tells them to heal up because they’re going back to Thorkell so he can stop all this fighting and that he’s going to fucking start doing King shit and put an end to the pointless wars, so that’s pretty dope.

Introduction "Welcome to my dating website!"

You decide to try out a new dating website. It's filled with a cutesy theme of pinks and hearts. Your guide is a pixelated avatar. The screen shows her torso as the lines across the screen type out her words. The avatar is a petite woman with long dark brown curly hair and brown eyes. She wears makeup and a pink bustier matching in color with her lipstick. She has a painted heart on the left side of her face. As she talks there is a bigger pink heart floating beside her matching the theme of her website.

"Hi welcome to my dating website! My name is Abella and I'll be your guide."

"So you're interested in finding your match. Thankfully my website has a 90 percent accuracy with pairing couples. You've come to the right place! I'll need you to start with your profile. It will be used as a dating application for potential dates. The process is super simple. Only ten questions. Be sure to answer all surveys as well.”

After you filled out the details of your profile and completed all surveys about romance, Abella starts to give you more instructions. She smiles once you click complete on your profile.

"Great! So detailed too! I see you have great taste 💖! I know the questions seem random for a dating website but I promise it will be useful for your match up."

Beside Abella's pixelated avatar is a blinking menu. It's rainbow colored and begging to be clicked. She looks over to the menu in surprise.

"How could I forget about the menu when it’s so important? This menu explains a bit of the results you'll receive from your potential dates. We'll start with the dating survey results. An example is here."

The menu then shows you percentages, numbers, and various results one would expect from a dating website. It also reminds you of a menu from a dating sim.

Dating Survey Results:

Communication 💌 75%

Emotions 💗 57%

Similar Values 🏡 40%

Passion 💘 88%

"These represent the results from the survey questions asked of your potential date. The results are the outcome of thirty complicated but honest questions that should be expected from a partner.They were also given hypothetical situations. We'll start with the first. Communication is self explanatory. How truthful and honest they are as far as communication goes. In the example the result is seventy-five percent. They're average at communication. Neither the best or the worst. They're in the middle which is pretty good. A bit above average but not by much."

Abella points to the second result titled, Emotions.

"This result represents their emotions. As in how expressive and emotional they are in a relationship. How well they're good at expressing their emotions to you. In the example the result is fifty-seven percent. Not a good result as far as numbers go. Any percent under sixty percent means the person isn't very emotional. Their over all emotions can be nonexistent. Nothing wrong with that as this website respects those with very serious personalities. We also love kuuderes~ Now this doesn't mean they're bad at relationships but it reveals how good or poorly they are at expressing emotions which can be important to many."

Abella points to the next result. It's titled, Similar Values.

"Similar values, now this one is pretty important. As you can tell by the symbol beside it, the house. It represents the persons values and how similar theirs is to your own. For further details, I'll explain it like this. How similar are their wants and desire for a relationship as your own. This includes their needs for affection, desire for dates, importance of marriage, importance of a committed relationship, home, domestic life style, or want for a family. Everyone's values are different so it's best their compatibility is similar to your own, at least seventy percent or so. The relationship might not last long depending on the values you and the other person have. I will add to this by saying many relationships have survived with lower percentages than sixty.”

The results for similar values blinks a couple times, reminding Abella she forgot another detail.

"Oh right. This example indicates a very bad result. Values under fifty aren't particularly good. Any percentage under the number forty can be hit or miss. Compromises must be made and it depends how well the relationship works out in all other aspects. Numbers under forty tend to not work out, so keep this in mind."

The next result is blinking, catching Abella's attention. She has heart eyes for a brief moment.

"Oh! This represents passion. How romantic~ Passion is also self explanatory. I'm sure from the symbol beside it you must know passion must represent their longing and desire for love. Possibly how much their desire for love will be once they catch feelings for you."

She looks to the example with a smile.

"Here the percentage is eighty-eight in the example. A very good percentage this person would be loving a great amount of the time, possibly more than you'd think. They express their love very well in various ways. By saying it with words or through actions. A percentage this high could indicate they’ll do both."

The menu then disappears after she is done explaining.

"That is all I have to say about survey results! Now onto match up applicants. In this part of the menu it will give you the results of your potential dates. The potential dates are the people who are compatible with you. Since you listed wanting your first date to be at a café we recommend you try two blind dates with the best compatibility to you. Meaning the first two results. You'll go on two dates at a café, we list this type of date under the category, ‘double dates’ for this very reason."

The last menu is titled love meter.

"This will also be listed in your result! After your date the applicant will answer several questions about several topics including: the date, about yourself, their longing for love, if they could see themselves having a connection with you, and more. We will give you love meters based on their answers and profile with details from a separate survey that expresses their passion/desire for true love.”

The menu’s beside Abella disappear as she continues to talk. Her words typing out on the screen for you to read.

“I believe that is all to explain. If you have further questions please go to question/guide menu. Reminder if your dates don’t work out, don’t be too disheartened. Some relationships don’t work out and it’s okay. You’re sure to find love. Enjoy your dates and don’t forget to read the guide!”

Senyuu F5: Chapter 1

Raw: ch.nicovideo.jp/haruhara-ch/blomaga/ar1736317

My first new series in four years, Senyuu Reload, has begun. It tells the tale of what happens to Alba and the others after the end. I began thinking of the story while writing Senyuu+.

Everyone, please journey along with Alba and the others!

Since I’m drawing Reload as a normal paneled manga on a normal manuscript-sized paper, I’d love to have it in a proper volume someday.

[Image: A high-quality, coloured version of the below (taken from F5 Ch. 1)]

I redraw this scene to be new and fresh. Since I might as well, I’ve uploaded a big colour version here.

I want to make can badges someday.

At first I planned for them to meet in a town, but when I drew them facing off in town, I thought, If I put them in a forest, won’t it look like that panel in Yu Yu Hakusho? and let my personal tastes go wild.

Senyuu F5: Chapter 3

Raw: ch.nicovideo.jp/haruhara-ch/blomaga/ar1745545

This was the first battle scene I’d drawn in a while, so it was a little embarrassing handing over a serious storyboard to the editor I’d given nothing but Senyuu+ gag plots for the past four years. It felt like showing a manga I actually put effort into to classmates I always just joked around with.

Lolo Fry Mitts. His name has no real inspiration. When I decide on Western names, I either pick random German or English words or choose whatever sounds good to me. His name was just something that sounded good to me.

When I choose based on what sounds good to me, names tend to get influenced by my own tastes, so the probability of stretched-out sounds in the name increases. (Like with Alba Paulred). I think this is because my favourite Western name is Tifa Lockhart.

(T/N: In Japanese, all of these names include a dash (ー) that indicates a stretched sound.)

Tifa Lockhart really does have a good ring to it. In terms of personality, I prefer Yuffie Kisaragi though.

As with manga drawn for a magazine, I draw Senyuu F5 panels on a large canvas, then my editor trims it a little before publication. The whole thing including the entire outer frame looks like this:

(T/N: I included the F5 version as well for easy comparison)

Try comparing them!

For this scene, I originally intended for Lolo’s leg to be blown off instead of just broken, but I decided that even Lolo wouldn’t be able to stand with a leg blown off, so I let him off with just a broken one... though a normal person wouldn’t be able to stand on a broken leg either.

Here’s a doodle I did on the edge of my storyboard.

Custom Toonami Block Week 137 Rundown

Spy X Family: We finally get the briefing on Anya’s school and the short version is if she gets eight gym badges she gets to meet the guy Loid has to kill but if she gets eight anti-gym badges they fucking kick her out so we’re basically dealing with the Good Noodle Star system from Spongebob, idk if the gym badges and anti-badges are permanent or if you get a star and a bolt gets removed or if you can just rock up with seven bolts and eight stars like ‘yeah I was almost expelled but I’m also really fucking good at math’ but that’s the plan, get Anya to win all eight gym badges and be the best at school which is normal to want and possible to achieve. Anya’s tailor freaks her out about how people from her school get kidnapped because they have rich parents and of course while out doing shopping with Yor Anya gets fucking kidnapped because apparently her psychic powers can hear Loid from across a crowded gym but can’t hear someone thinking ‘I’mma kidnap this pink-haired kid’ from five feet away. Either way Yor fucks them up so we don’t have to watch her Press Y to Anya while looking for her and Anya decides she wants to learn to kill a man with her pinky too and decides to start training with Yor. Meanwhile orientation day is here and Loid goes over the plan again, adding the stipulation that Anya can also get in good with this guy’s bratty kid and take a shortcut past the gym badges like that one Pokemon anime episode where you can take a test to go straight to the pokemon league if you can identify a Jigglypuff seen from above. But yeah Anya basically takes every wrong social cue based on reading her classmates’ thoughts and being a bit of a brat herself but does kind of end up winning over one of the girls in her class while accidentally egging on the bratty kid she’s supposed to be friends with with her meme face and fucking socks him one which thanks to her new training is probably a lot stronger than it should be and now we’re starting the books with one anti-badge.

Inuyasha: The Naginata of Kenkon arc continues and Hojo and Kagome dick around in the forest for a while so Kagome can flirt with the possibility of being Hojo’s feudal waifu. Inuyasha fights Hoshiyomi who as far as filler villains go is pretty cool like he’s the only person who just fires fuck off huge sword lasers better than Inuyasha at this point in the series and they have a cool minimalist black and white color scheme. Meanwhile Miroku and Sango completely fail to try and take down the ninja subordinates because they’re ninjas and the flunkies find a picture of Kagome’s friends that one of them uses to turn into demon puppets which means absolutely nothing except it’s cool to see Kagome’s friends’ feudal versions like there’s absolutely no reason the ninja demon couldn’t make random puppets since he plays them off as feudal strangers anyway which makes no sense from his perspective since he doesn’t know they’re future people so if he saw the pic of Kagome with them why did he know not to have them talk to her like they knew her? Like that just makes the whole situation more complicated than just whipping up a random village girl to lead them into a trap. Kagome sees through a completely unrelated foible and takes out the demons which puppets or not sounds kinda traumatic given they look just like her friends but she doesn’t hesitate for a millisecond. Once the puppets are done though the demon ninjas just swoop in and abduct Kagome which they… could’ve just done anyway, in fact why not take Hojo too? He’s got the sword you want and he’s by all accounts weaker than Kagome like why did we abduct her at all and not take the one thing you guys want? Idfk man, it’s in Kagome’s contract that she has to get kidnapped every so often.

Yu Yu Hakusho: There’s a running gag I forgot to mention last time about Koenma ominously saying he can take out his pacifier as a last resort and everyone gasping before admitting they have no idea what the fuck he’s talking about and it gets repeated with Genkai this episode and it’s pretty funny. Yusuke’s group reaches Sensui’s lair where he has a VCR hooked up to a car battery so he can sync up his favorite movie to the end of the world like it’s Pink Floyd and the Wizard of Oz or some shit, long story short the gang’s got 30 minutes. Sensui wants Yusuke to be the arbiter of humanity’s defense so he offers to give Kuwabara back if they can kill Gourmet but his allies note this is less an act of generosity and more an enforcement of control by seeking to limit the possibilities in a framework instead of risking the ugly situation that could occur if everyone just bum rushes Kuwabara and the demon tunnel from five different angles. Kurama agrees they aren’t going to color in the lines on this one but they’ll play along for a bit and offers to fight Gourmet who now has the ability to read minds since he off-screen ate that one guy that could read minds from earlier in the arc which kinda sucks like YYH is kinda weird in that it’ll build up a death forever and not do it and then off-screen a dude with no fanfare. Anyway Kurama beheads Gourmet and reveals he knew Elder Toguro was pulling the strings in there all along and basically reverse-digested Gourmet from the inside and absorbed the ability to eat things to get stronger, read minds AND ramped up his immortality to the point that you could detonate a nuke on his forehead and he’d probably still come back. Of course what follows is one of the most epic overkill scenes in all of anime and even people that haven’t seen this series know this one. Kurama traps him in a purgatory tree where he’s eternally hallucinating not being able to kill Kurama while getting drained of his life force and healing just enough to forever be under its spell, basically what Itachi ripped the Izanami off of except this one doesn’t get a happy ending where Elder Toguro sees the error of his ways and leads an orphanage of sharingan children. So yeah, two down, two to go.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Sukuna and Yuji meet in Yuji’s inner world and Sukuna makes the deal that he’ll revive Yuji if he can basically install a switch switch to use whenever he wants on the condition he can’t kill or hurt anyone when he comes out with this method and Yuji can’t remember that he made the deal in the first place. Yuji immediately smells the sus and disagrees but still wants to come back to life so they agree to fight on it and Sukuna immediately kicks his ass and just like that Yuji’s back to life and his evil side has a foothold in his mind. This raises a couple questions of what the fuck it would take to actually kill Yuji short of like complete incineration and if Sukuna can’t kill or injure anyone when he comes out what’s the fucking point unless cursed spirits don’t count, though that’ll be a problem when they inevitably meet human enemies anyway. Megumi delivers the juvie kid’s name patch to his mom and starts actively thinking about fucking helping people while training the second years which is apparently a foreign concept in this school. I gotta say I kinda like Gojo’s ultimate goal like he knows if he just kills all the assholes running things then they’ll just get replaced by new assholes so he decides that he’s gonna make the assholes that replace those assholes instead to the future will have Gojo-brand assholes running it, pretty solid/petty reason for getting into teaching. I also like the stupid mundane way they’re gonna teach Yuji how to use Cursed Chakra because it’s just something you can do at home, like I always like training montages that are just shit an edgy teen can pretend to do. But yeah the basic idea is to watch movies to fuel a gambit of emotions while still thinking enough pissy thoughts to keep the stuffed boxing bear that feeds on youtube comments to stay asleep so there’s enough undercurrent of cursed shit in his personality that even if he’s feeling great and about to win he can still dig into a reservoir of feeling like crap and hating the world and regretting shit. That’s pretty neat since a lot of superpowers say they’re based on emotions but they don’t really go into what it takes to be able to flip those emotions on and off like a lightswitch and how you basically have to be a psychopath to punch out a specific power’s emotion in a situation that may not warrant it. Also Captain Magma wants to seal Gojo into Jimmy Neutron’s hypercube or something.

Chainsaw Man: Team Akimeno pick up right where they left off, trapped in the endless PT style loop of a a motel hallway where any seam becomes a loop, stuck in the grasp of the Eternity Devil. Kobeni and other guy have hair trigger sanity so they’re freaking out meanwhile Denji and Power are too crazy to care and Aki and Himeno are too stoic to get freaked out so we have three nice groups of two for the sliding scale of sanity under pressure. Unfortunately this isn’t the kind of hotel to have a fully stocked overpriced minibar so starvation is a concern even though everyone’s only been there like a couple hours max and they’re already putting cannibalism on the table so we’re not exactly dealing with the most stable bunch. We get some cute insight on Himeno’s backstory and ironically it fleshes Aki out more than her which is an interesting way to shine insight on her feelings for him and their dynamic has this weird kind of casual intimacy like I’d buy they canonically fucked and just didn’t make a big deal about it, also like the idea of Aki’s idea of revenge is causing people mild inconveniences like he’s someone who’d prank someone by slightly messing up their paperwork and feel really bad about it all day when they didn’t even notice. But yeah the Infinity Train Devil wants Denji dead for some reason and being the Sasuke of the group Aki has a super secret technique that can kill it but it eats his lifespan and everyone’s like ‘that’s dumb a fraction of Aki’s life is worth way more than Denji’s whole life’ and Denji’s just kinda out here feeling the love when Kobeni tries to stab him and Aki jumps in the way to take one for the team because he has a tragic backstory to uphold and also killing people to satisfy a devil doesn’t sit well with him. Denji’s not quite sure how to process gratitude towards someone he doesn’t also want to bone so he just says fuck it and jumps into the Eternity Devil’s mouth with Chainsaws active which I imagine he would’ve done anyway even if they tried to kill him with it. But yeah that was pretty cool, like for a group of people that barely tolerate each other seeing Aki stand up for the guy that repeatedly kicked him in the nuts over literal nothing and assign his life intrinsic value as well as consider him an asset to his cause is pretty neat, Denji out here getting some affirmation that doesn’t give him a boner.

Ranking of Kings: Bojji and Kage reach the Underworld King and they show off Bojji’s skills and the king’s like ‘bro your dodging’s cool and all but I can’t do shit to make you stronger’ and Bojji has a minor existential crisis before they find out from the guard captain Bojji fought that it’s actually the king’s brother who can make Bojji stronger and the king was just being a petty dork. Meanwhile Daida’s also having an existential crisis when Spear Dude comes to kill him and is stopped by the mirror who is apparently possessed by the resident Morgan Le Fae insert and has a much more sinister plan for Daida and recruits Spear dude to knock him the fuck out and make him drink the spilled Father Slushee from last episode, now with extra floor dirt to make it 10% more gross. Meanwhile Kage and Bojji reach the king’s brother and while the king’s like a demon guy the brother is just like… some dude and it’s pretty funny.

Vinland Saga: Now that Thorfinn has his goal of becoming a great warrior and enough of an asset to Askeladd to fucking murder him, we jump straight into a new fight. The English and Danish have beef because of lines on the ground because war is fucking stupid and the Viking pirates are basically mercenaries that the Danish army can use as shock troops to weaken England before it comes time to invade. While negotiating one of these missions Askeladd’s crew gets jumped by the English and Askeladd saves Thorfinn’s life and Thorfinn gets his first kill and we get a quick montage of him getting very very good at killing people over the next few years and picking up another knife along the way. While he’s out scouting he gets knocked into a river is saved by a nice old English lady who saves him because she’s a good Christian and also she just so happens to have a recently opened son-shaped hole in her heart that he’s the perfect size to fill. He actually gets to relax and get cleaned up for a bit and almost feel like part of a family again for a moment but of course because fate is cruel he still has to go give the signal to Askeladd’s crew to come fuck the whole town up and presumably kill the old lady and her granddaughter despite him trying to save them. I mean he might’ve been able to walk away from the pirate life right there but Askeladd probably would’ve still come after the village eventually and he still has a murderboner so trying to get them out of there was probably the best he could do but he probably could’ve been more direct about it.

The Brilliance of Hunter x Hunter: Exam Arc and Lateral Thinking

Hello folks, and welcome back to Why It Works. Today I’d like to talk about one of my all-time favorite anime, a show that somehow feels just as urgent and gripping every time I return to it, a show that I’ve introduced to many friends and hope to introduce to many more: Hunter x Hunter. Written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi (the creator of Yu Yu Hakusho), Hunter x Hunter’s 2011 adaptation ran for one hundred and forty-eight episodes, covering roughly seven arcs, and concluding with the end of the manga’s most recently finished arc.

In my opinion, Hunter x Hunter is a genuine masterpiece. Its drama possesses that can’t-put-down quality common to the best popcorn entertainment, but its appeal is based on an understanding of storytelling and dramatic fundamentals so strong that it essentially serves as a living blueprint for writing compelling shonen stories. Today I’d like to start deciphering that blueprint, beginning with the show’s first arc, and use it to illustrate one particular facet of Hunter x Hunter’s appeal. If you’re interested in the mechanics of narrative, and shonen narratives in particular, this one’s for you. Let’s dive into all the things that make Hunter x Hunter work!

First off, though Hunter x Hunter eventually expands to encompass a vast array of characters, Togashi understands the importance of starting off with a clear, coherent dramatic hook. As the story begins, we are introduced to Gon, an exuberant and strong young boy who dreams of following in the footsteps of the father who abandoned him, and becoming a great Hunter. In this world, the Hunters are an organization of greatly esteemed adventurers, warriors, and general seekers of all kinds. Their prestige gives them access to resources across the globe, but earning a spot in their company requires passing a grueling test.

  And so our initial variables are set: Gon must overcome a mysterious set of hidden challenges as he traverses the land, making use of the senses he’s honed while hunting in the forest, and gaining new allies with diverse specialties along the way.

You might have noticed that through all of this exposition, Gon’s prowess as an actual warrior never came up. That’s because Gon isn’t really a warrior yet, or at least not a particularly driven or impressive one. Gon possesses great natural strength and agility, along with the assumed initial “superpower” of his animal-like senses, but his early victories rarely hinge on directly overpowering his opponents. After all, he’s a young boy within a den of lions; in fact, the Hunter Exam arc often relies on the fact that Gon is clearly a physical underdog for much of its dramatic tension. So how does Gon actually succeed in this arc?

The answer to that question is also the solution to a common problem within shonen stories. Shonen dramas of the Demon Slayer/Dragon Ball/Naruto variety tend to be most centrally about their fights, and the struggle to make those fights consistently exciting is one of the great challenges of the genre. Audiences want to see underdogs overcoming great odds to defeat overwhelming opponents, but how do you make that feel exciting, satisfying, and genuinely earned? 

There are a variety of ways to solve this problem, ranging from infusing your battle with secondary emotional stakes, to animating the choreography of your battle with such fluidity that the flow of the fight is clear purely in motion. But Gon’s first conflicts come too early in this story to really possess much emotional resonance, and the show’s animation, while competent, can’t convey drama all by itself. Instead, Gon relies on a technique that respects the difficulty of his conflicts while overcoming them with strategically and dramatically satisfying flair: lateral thinking.

If you’re not familiar with the term, solving a problem with lateral thinking involves arriving at a solution that lies outside of the terms of the problem as presented, but nonetheless solves the initial problem. The classic example is the Gordian Knot: when Alexander the Great was challenged to untangle an impossibly tangled knot, he responded by slicing it apart with his sword. His solution “solved” the puzzle by refusing to engage with the problem as presented, and instead seeking an answer that circumvented the knot while still arriving at the needed solution.

  Gon cuts all sorts of Gordian Knots across the course of the Hunter Exam, consistently solving problems by thinking outside the box. Through this focus on lateral thinking, Togashi is able to consistently present challenges for Gon that seem completely insurmountable, but which he is nonetheless able to solve in a manner that feels both realistic and clever - a combination that adds up to “dramatically satisfying.”

At one point, Gon is presented with a challenge where he and an opponent must each try to keep a candle lit, with whoever’s candle goes out first being declared the loser. Of course, given Gon’s opponent was the one who actually prepared the candles, the two sticks are fixed, and Gon’s candle soon begins to burn with the raging intensity of the oil it’s been drenched in. Confronted with this swiftly burning candle, Gon realizes the terms of the engagement have changed. Now that his candle is burning so intensely, it no longer needs his support to stay alight - so he’s free to place it on the ground, dash to his opponent, and blow their candle out without his failing first. Gon turns a challenge that’s ostensibly about preparation and concentration into one hinged on physical agility, seizing a lateral solution to an impossible problem the moment it reveals itself.

Gon continues to solve impossible problems with lateral solutions throughout this first arc. At another point, he’s grouped with a team of four other exam challengers, all of whom must collectively make a decision. In a room filled with menacing weapons, and with very little time to arrive at their destination, they must choose by vote to pass through one of two doors. One door leads directly to their destination, but will only allow three challengers to pass - the one next to it allows all five, but leads to a path that would take far too long to reach the finish line.

  Gon’s solution circumvents the assumed challenge here (picking who gets to go through the three-person door). Instead, he urges his companions to vote for the five person door, at which point they use all the weapons surrounding them to bash through the corridor wall, and follow the three person route to freedom.

This style of lateral solutions works very well for outright puzzles, but Togashi is also able to apply it to Gon’s overt battles. When Gon is tasked with stealing a badge from a much stronger opponent, he immediately realizes he can’t actually beat his enemy - so he instead dedicates himself to stealing the badge at the precise moment his opponent is distracted, having committed their body to attacking their own target. When Gon must fight a stronger enemy in an actual one-on-one dual, he instead turns the fight into a mental battle - “you can beat me up, but I’ll never surrender. Are you willing to destroy me, or will you concede to avoid murdering a kid?”

That one-on-one match also demonstrates another of Gon’s key “strengths,” and one of the defining factors of Hunter x Hunter - Gon’s willingness to put himself in serious, often potentially fatal danger for the sake of victory. It’s a novel choice that reaps great dividends both in terms of Gon’s personal journey and Hunter x Hunter’s reflections on its own genre… but that will have to be a topic for another article. It’s tough to constrain myself to one narrative technique per arc, but for now, we must bid the Exam Arc and its clever use of lateral thinking adieu. I hope you’ve enjoyed this discussion of Hunter x Hunter’s unique storytelling, and please let me know all your own favorite Exam Arc moments in the comments!

The Young Ones: Spirit Student(Yu Yu Hakusho crossover) (one-shot) (unfinished)

It was like any other day in the neon lit streets of London

On the tv you’d see the queen, you’d see prime ministers and big ben taking centre stage but if you look closely you’d see fascists, rebels, drug dealers and gangsters

In a detached house near Yorkshire was a bunch of siblings

A cantankerous Scotsman called Angus (the eldest),a soft hearted Welshman called Dylan (the second eldest),a Englishman called Arthur (the middle child) and the irish siblings Connor (the youngest),Brian (the oldest) and Kelsie (the wallflower of the family)

Angus stabbed his fork into the sausage resting on his plate as he and his siblings were very distant people he would’ve rambled about politics but he already did that at the pub earlier,Dylan and Arthur just talked about the weather and Brian rambled  while connor and Kelsie just watched tv together

Top of the Pops was on and they lightly moving their heads in time to the ear candy that was Duran Duran.

Kelsie was a bit of a bad girl, well sort of she did the work her teachers set for her and she wouldn’t talk back to them but on the inside she disobeyed almost every rule and due to bullying being a regular occurrence sometimes she would get in fights usually ending with a bloody nose or her legs covered in bruises.

The Next Day was nothing special,she was just walking on her way back home from school when for a moment everything became nothing, all she could hear was a car screech,a slip and someone pushing her out of the way back onto the pavement                  

“Get out of the way you fascist bastard” yelled a loud aggressive English sounding male voice as the young man flicked a inappropriate gesture at the car before standing up, calming down  and putting his badge covered blazer back into place

“Oh I’m so sorry I didn’t see you there it wasn’t directed at you it was at that fascist driver he could’ve killed me and probably you too,I’m Rick,Rick Pratt

On the other side of pavement where a bruised Kelsie had landed she was sitting feeling eclectic sensations in her body almost like that of a supernatural being

“I’m Kelsie” she said as she sat on the hard surface looking as cold as the weather staring at this strange individual that had previously pushed her out of the way of incoming traffic.

“Now I must dash my brothers would be wondering about my wearabouts” Kelsie said as she tried to sit up but failed”

Everything felt still, Kelsie couldn’t even hear the traffic, her body felt numb and cold as she scratched her arms frantically

Rick then helped lift her up

“What happened there?”  Kelsie asked confused

“You died” Rick answered sarcastically

How? When? What? But I didn’t get run over I remember my green cross code

You almost got ran over until I saved you

Saved me? From the traffic? Wait so wouldn’t that mean that you’re dead too

I’m already dead I just took my human form when I was walking it’s kind of of a purgatory thing really

PURGATORY? So I’ll never be able to see my brothers again

In a few days however you are at the spirit stage at the moment

Then let’s go and see if my brothers have noticed

Kelsie and Rick then went round to Kelsie’s house

Angus and Dylan were watching the news while Angus grunted in his strong Scottish accent “Shouldn’t Kelsie be home yet?”

Arthur sighed cynically and said well you know Kelsie always getting into trouble

Brian smirked and said “Oh trust you Arthur someone who’s been in trouble with the police since your punk days” before laughing sardonically

“Shut it you Mick Garden gnome” Arthur yelled before starting a fist fight

“I wonder if Kelsie is a zombie” Connor wondered as he watched music videos on the television

A zombie what gives ye that idea? Brian asked bewildered kicking a staggering Arthur in the knob

“Well I saw her walking across the road while I was on my way here and then she leaped onto the other side of the pavement lifeless and limp I think a car might’ve knocked her over”

After a bunch of screaming Angus asked “Didn’t anyone bother to phone a ambulance?”

Nah nobody noticed and there were no phones around

“She’s a dead lass alright”

“I’ll hold a wake for her” Arthur said

While they started the preparations Rick and Kelsie were walking through town with milkshakes in hand

“So how did you die Rick?”

“It’s a long story me and my university mates had started a bank robbery before trying to escape using one of the buses before falling through a billboard of Cliff Richard”

“you’re not serious are you?”

“that actually happened We were trying to change the world after being evicted and left on the streets ironically on that same day I found out my parents had died”

“Wow” said Kelsie interested in Rick’s anecdote

“I hate the world, particularly the government Maggie Thatcher is why we all got evicted I had plans to become a anarchist poet to help give people a message”

“I’m on the same boat I originally lived in Northern Ireland but me and my brothers moved closer to the rest of the family here in England due to the conflict there”

“What plans did you have?”

“I had plans to probably be a writer or a activist or a singer of a band, but then again I’m a lonely twat with no friends how on earth can I achieve that”

“I can play the guitar you know maybe I could join your band” Rick boasted before kneeling down timidly trying to look away”

“What’s wrong rick?”

Rick shivered and said “Him” pointing to a young punk man with a orange Mohawk, chains, and sliver stars on his head walking through the neighbourhood with the sound of his loud steel caped doc marten boots following him

Oh I recognize him he goes to my school he’s in a year above me

“V-Vyvyan” Rick mumbled as he stared at Vyvyan from below

You know him?

I used to live with the bastard YES OF COURSE I BLOODY KNOW HIM

HE HATED ME HE SET ME ON FIRE HE TRIED TO KILL ME HE WOULD BEAT THE SHIT OUT ME AND WOULD TORTURE ME EVERYDAY HE WAS A UTTER UTTER BASTARD

Kelsie then smirked and said are you into leather Rick? It sounds like he was a great roommate Kelsie answered thinking perversely

STOP BEING PERVY and I guess leather is a comfy material to where but that’s besides the point  

Hold on a second why is he going to my house?

Rick blinked for a second and looked “that is a bit peculiar isn’t it?”

Meanwhile Brian and Connor were putting some of Kelsie’s belongings next to a picture of her while Angus smoked, Arthur drank and Dylan lit some candles

Vyvyan entered the lounge of where the wake was taking place

“Am I late?”

“Nah lad the wake has just started and who are you?”

“I’m Vyvyan,Vyvyan Bastard I go to Kelsie’s school I,I, Vyvyan struggled to think of words for the sentence as he stuttered in his gravelly voice

Connor then explained to Angus that Vyvyan fancied Kelsie but was too shy to tell her when she was alive

While two familiar spirits also were wandering outside blushing
