[Eroica Musical Rant] Dorian Red Gloria, Earl of Gloria, Codename: Eroica

(Series masterlist)

Somehow I am the least mad at what they did to him ...

Dorian Red Gloria, the Earl of Gloria, otherwise known as Eroica the Phantom Thief, is one of the most vibrant characters ever written in manga, and my personal favorite. A respected English aristocrat, a revered art thief, Dorian’s aspiration is to live a life full of – capital R – Romantic splendor, defined by thrill, desires and adventures, bordering on hedonism.

Agile, dynamic and fun, Dorian steals not for money but for said vision, as he thinks stealing art is the most Romantic profession – to the displeasure of his long-suffering accountant and countless museum curators around the world. Extremely intelligent, spontaneous, and armed with complete fearlessness, he outsmarts and baffles even the most cold-blooded, hard-boiled, thoroughly-trained international superspies. Other than those attributes, Dorian’s power is derived from being a people person. He has a charisma and wit that can persuade, trick, or provoke anybody.

With my love for this character, I went into this musical expecting to be severely disappointed. I thought at best he would be a gay stereotype, and at worst, boring. But to my surprise, Dorian in this musical is actually fairly decently played. Most of his scenes and lines are kept, and the actor himself does bring some life into the role. He sings, he dances, he delivers the sass required. And I think the decision to have him sing enka in the tank scene is still in-character.

Direction

My only criticism would be that, compared to the original manga, Dorian is not depicted and portrayed with nearly enough power. First of all, the actor is frequently seen very relaxed, and unfortunately, it translates to slight slouches in his posture. But more importantly, due to various factors like staging, writing and productions, some scenes, while kept, were changed massively.

Let’s take this scene where Dorian supplies Klaus with a key piece of information. The chapter leading up to this scene in the manga starts out with Dorian throwing a gala for his fellow crime lords, and Klaus being tasked with maintaining security for a peace conference between the USA and the USSR taking place nearby. Upon hearing that there is a gathering of some of the most powerful underground figures in that proximity, Klaus intrudes on Dorian’s soiree to warn them not to do anything that might disrupt the conference. Dorian reassures his alerted guests, and informs Klaus that they have no such intention.

It is then that a KGB and a CIA agent rush in to tell Klaus that they received a lead that could hint at a neo-Nazi plot aiming to bomb the conference. An argument soon breaks out amongst the uninvited guests and Dorian promptly kicks them all out. Afterwards, Dorian’s close friend Volvonte offhandedly muses that he remembers something about a neo-Nazi of some sort having borrowed money from his organization some time not so long ago – a piece of information crucial to Klaus’s investigation is now, accidentally, in Dorian’s hands. But the party resumes, and it is only later, once everything is done and cleared, that Dorian thinks to call Klaus before going to bed. He is in bed, phoning Klaus like it was a booty-call. He flirts, Klaus tries to hang up, Dorian supplies the piece of information, then flirts some more and ends the call with a big, fat, sloppy kiss over the telephone. So what is significant about this set-up?

For one, Dorian has no obligation to tell Klaus this information that would not only save a peace conference, but many lives, including Klaus’s. The casual manner with which he treats this key piece of information is also important. He doesn’t urge Volvonte to tell him more, he doesn’t rush to tell Klaus, and he doesn’t communicate with Klaus in the manner of subordination, taking the time for pleasantry and flirtation. A casual bedtime conversation for Dorian, in this case, is a matter of life and death for Klaus. Dorian holds the power.

In the stage show, while the context is the same, details are removed, while other unnecessary ones are added. Due to the rushed pace that the show is written with, Dorian’s feelings for Klaus in this arc is intensified, giving him a motivation to tell Klaus the vital piece of information, as he is now deeply worried about Klaus. This level of care at this point in the story is not seen in the manga. Because of this newly-slotted motivation, his nonchalance is diminished, resulting in a serious exchange where it appears as though Dorian also has stakes in the matter, almost like he is working for Klaus. And because he is not in bed, his “advice” to Klaus comes off less as banter and more like sincere advice, and it presents him as naggy, as opposed to flirtatious and funny. That kiss is also waaaayyy too timid.

Costume

When it comes to costume, Dorian in this musical still exceeds everyone else by a mile. I was concerned when promotional materials only show him in one outfit, but thankfully, they had others made as well. Most of them look glamorous enough to look like they could maybe be part of Dorian’s wardrobe (and he might have worn a few of them while extremely intoxicated because this is the 70s).

However, that is not to say they were perfect. Knowing that this is a small production with limited budget, I will look past the fact that even Dorian’s costumes look pretty cheap in terms of material and tailoring. Especially if you compare them to the Takarazuka Revue’s adaptation of Eroica’s spin-off, El Halcon. But what will always be a sore thumb in my eyes is his rubber-looking rubber-sole jagged platform boots.

Why couldn’t we have given him well-fitted heel leather boots? Manga Dorian is on heels even while scaling walls. And heels would certainly look better when he dances. My problem with the ill-fitted rubber sole boots is that they throw the outfit’s proportion and silhouette totally off balance, shortening his legs, the opposite of what you want for a 1970s look. Considering the actor himself is tall enough to pull off a 1970s shōjo manga type look with loooong legs, these boots definitely did him quite dirty.

Speaking of which, Dorian’s inspiration is Robert Plant. Therefore, I definitely would have loved to see the outfits taking more inspiration from the decade, the rock scene, and Robert Plant himself. Manga Dorian’s fashion is a showcase of Aoike’s love for rock’n’roll, European classic arts, and fantastical shōjo manga aesthetics.

It expresses Dorian’s character as someone who romanticizes the fictionalized past and at the same time, poses as a contradiction to convention and norm.

The outfits given to Dorian in this production don’t exactly hold such punch, some of them seem repetitive, while others pale in comparison to his manga counterpart. And that is without mentioning that godawful wig that's somehow both too flat and too frizzy (in a nylon way).

Overall, Dorian in this production worked and I am not mad about him. I would say that most of the criticisms I have for Dorian is the result of staging, writing, and costuming, and none for the casting itself. I do think Nakayama Yuki did, honestly, a good job.

Eroica vol. 28 - Turkey references (1/2)

Basically, each page in the Byzantine Meiro (Byzantine Labyrinth) arc is a reference to real life, but I'm having my best life reading this, so I'll list some of them as I read along. Mostly İstanbul stuff, because even I haven't been to other Turkish cities in this story, lol. Just a general remark: The architecture and the backgrounds are spot on. She even got the behavioral patterns of the random Turkish people in this story right. And the cats. Those are best and most accurate Turkish stray cats one can ever see in manga. Keep an eye out for them if you read this story!

This is one of the reasons why I love Aoike: She does her research well, and does not write solely based on her impressions (or she just has the right impressions, lol) and does not use second-hand knowledge. For instance, she could have just set this story in İstanbul, because that's the city people think of when you say "Turkey", right? But since this story has an ex-KGB agent, things kick off at Trabzon, a less known Turkish city for most. But that's where many Russians settled in after the fall of the USSR, so that choice makes perfect sense.

Okay, here is my list.

1. Mehmet Ali Ağca. He is real, and I knew him even as a kid.

2. "Handsome Turkish football player in the 2002 World Cup," whom Mischa's daughter became a fan of: It's got to be İlhan Mansız. No doubt about it. I was roughly Anna's age in 2002, and I can attest that all the girls at my school were going crazy over him. He also gained popularity in Japan.

3. Turkish greeting: Yes, Turkish men do hug and kiss each other as a form of greeting. Of course, it's exaggerated for purposes of comedy in the manga (and ngl, there are weirdos like the Pekel brothers; and old ladies would be more likely to give you a smack on the cheeks), but we don't actually use our lips to kiss the person we greet. You just brush your cheeks against the other person's. But the big hug is very real. Especially if you are happy to see the person, you go hard at hugging them. Searching for images for this made me feel weird, so make do with this picture of a famous football player and a coach. If Klaus was more willing, he'd be locked in a hug like this with those brothers.

4. Beko: Actual home appliances company.

Continued in part 2...

[moonsb1996]

Hello again everyone Because I'm writing a manga for my sister that has previously written OC characters in it. So I will bring it for you guys to read for fun again and we will get to know “Terrorist groups,” or so they are called. “League of Salem” and these are their characters.

Manus

Group leader of the League of Salem He has a body similar to the boss as seen in the picture and also has high attack power that makes him dangerous. Even though he is said to be the "leader" of the confederation, he does nothing but Sitting playing games to kill time and kill those who displease him. Until it was like he was just a name rather than a real person. But it wasn't that he didn't have the ability to plan and play a war of nerves. He personally disliked the Queen's family.

                (He is a relative of the Queen like Boss) so he made a plan for Boss Was sent to prison to solve problems. Because the person who is most problematic besides the Boss who is the knight escorting the Crown Princess is the Queen's personal chauffeur who is respected as the Queen's godfather. (I'll talk about the Queen's chauffeur later.) But because of the above, Boss intends to kill Manus no matter what body parts he takes. And it made Manus hate Boss even more.

                More importantly, Manus is interested in a 15-16 year old girl and wants her to join him. (You could call him a paedophile. ?) because he considered that the girl who had committed the school shooting that resulted in the deaths of four students and teachers was suitable to join the party. Destroy modern society so that the world descends into chaos because it's too much fun. And I'll write about her later as well. But spoiler first that that OC isn't interested in the offer. What's the reason? I'll write it for you to read later.

Manus' personal cases include Mass murder, Mass Destruction, Terrorism, Kidnapping, Torture, Theft.

Orpheus

The deputy leader of a new group who likes to act mysterious. And he didn't like Manus at first and called the boss a "foolish face." The history of him that I can write for you all to read is this: He has a past related to Asphodel. and hates everything that Asphodel values He felt that the world had abandoned him and had driven him away. So he wanted to destroy it and others to satisfy his own desires.

                And although secretive and unsympathetic to his fellow members, he was not unfaithful to his friends and preferred to entice people to work for him without the blood on Orpheus's hands. He also has knowledge about how government intelligence agencies work. and the military are so profound that it can be called If a case were to be committed by League of Salem, how would they cover up the traces so that the CIA or the KGB and MI6 couldn't track them down? Or how to shift the blame to another group

                And whether they are the same or other groups as long as they can bring about things Orpheus wanted it and he would use it without any hesitation. and also tricked people in into trusting him While secretly using them as a base to carry out his own plans, he rose to become deputy leader instead. Aspodel who was also sent to prison by Manus to keep his mouth shut. As for what made him want to resent Asphodel, even though Asphodel himself had never met Orpheus before, I'll leave it to you for now. The cases in which Orpheus has a criminal case are as follows: Serial Murder, kidnapping, Torture, Terrorism, Blackmail, Stalking.

Alida Hesfried or B, Miyar's younger sister AKA Bloody Camila.

Because anyone who reads this will already know some of her information. I will not mention it. And I will quote the case that she committed instead and they are as follows: Serial Murder, Stalking, kidnapping, Terrorism, Sexual harassment, Sexual assault, Assault, Identity theft.

Futel

Futel is another member of the League, but is a low-level villain with only a few crimes and doesn't stand out. He claims that he is. Another “bloodline of a great thief” or a cousin of PT and has the ability to act. High level of lies and disguises and refused to take off his mask for any member to see But let me tell you that Futel was a special agent sent in. (Think of him as the CIA)

                Because of his co-workers (Another OC that I will write about in the future as well) was contacted by a VIP (code of information provider to the organization) who would exchange information on terrorist plans for Fuelel's organization. The high-ranking official then sent Futel. A former desk agent who has the ability to infiltrate many underground organizations with his Oscar-level acting skills. (Futel colleague said so He is quite humble.)

                Futel now has a third-party mercenary partner from another organization, and they work together to prevent his true identity from being discovered by the Manus that he is a spy. Especially Orpheus, who was very suspicious of Futel to the point where he had trouble breathing. Moreover, and even though he was determined to work to investigate as much information as possible for the safety of the people, To fit the role “The heir to the great thief, Phantom Thief 5.”

                So he chose to "flirt" with his colleague "Thistle" because in addition to covering up the story of why He who has ideas and work that is different from other members in  League Salem refused to withdraw. Also really flirted with Thistle because of the famous catchphrase “My family is cursed Therefore, no human being can love us.” And that's right! He didn't lie that he was the "Heir of Phantom Thief", he just changed the truth a little so you can make up your own mind.

Thistle

Thistle was the name he had been given by Asphodel while they were both in the underground human trafficking ring before they escaped together. which for him Asphodel is the first family member and important friend who teaches Thistle about the outside world and humans (he's stuck in a warehouse that human traffickers have been working ever since he can remember until he was 16 years old) after trying to survive on the streets for many years Asphodel also left Thistle.

                After Asphodel entrusted him to work with mercenaries in a nearby area. Until he was confident that Thistle could survive without him. Thistle is a mercenary with no special powers. As a result, they were trained to be able to drive combat robots. (My world has robots fighting each other. But the person who can drive must not have special powers. Because they were created to kill people with special powers in past wars) and he became the only driver who studied with "D. Lia", a wartime robot pilot who only survived and He was also the only student to survive her training.

                Thistle has become a highly prized mercenary and at the same time, he is not a gentle person and tends to view humans as living beings. Therefore, he doesn't feel anything when Futel "flirts" with him and views it as flirtation. If he's not interested like a male animal, he'll be interested in other people instead. (Which he was wrong.) He was hired by a third organization to help with Futel's work. From a powerful organization that has been dissatisfied with League Salem for quite some time.

                Even though he and Asphodel had left each other without Asphodel saying goodbye, But Thistle is never upset and hopes to track down Asphodel one day to thank him for helping him until the last moment. and intended to give away half of the money he had saved while working. He plans to give it to Asphodel to use to treat Asphodel's illness. (Asphodel is currently ill due to his special powers) and Thistle is the only one who knows. Futel is a spy. But he didn't ask the employer if Futel was a CIA agent or not because in his employment contract he wouldn't ask for much customer information.

Well, I hope you guys like it!

KNY - My lore (uniforms)✨️

Hello people! I know I haven't been posting for a lot of time, but I was trying to write something for a fanfic concerning my AU (still trying to find the inspiration lol).

By the way, in my AU I wanted the uniforms to look like actual soldier uniforms, so they wouldn't be exactly similar to the canon one; first of all, everyone would have a standard uniform, consisting of a jacket and rounded trousers (just like the standard uniform of the manga). The ones who have the rank of Hashira have golden buttons, everyone else has silver buttons, on all the buttons there are engravings representing wisteria flowers, which is basically the symbol of the Demon Slayer Corp (at this point it would be a recognised branch of the Japanese Army, they would basically be similar to the FBI or KGB), under the uniform no one would wear zori sandals but they would wear knee-high boots.

Haoris are allowed only if you're an Hashira, the pattern of the haori should suggest the breathing style of the Hashira who's wearing it (kinda), but let's begin:

🌊 Giyu Tomioka (Water Hashira) would wear a black haori with a reproduction of the Wave print, his uniform would be blue.

⚡️ Makomo Urokodaki (Thunder Hashira) would wear a light yellow haori with a sunflower print on it, her uniform would be brown.

🧊 Sabito Ashina (Ice Hashira) would wear a light grey haori with some greyish blue rhombus on the bottom, his uniform would be black.

🪷 Kanae Kocho (Flower Hashira) would wear the same haori as canon, her uniform would be purple.

🦋 Shinobu Kocho (Insect Hashira) would wear an Haori similar to Kanae's, but it would be lilac and blue instead of aqua and pink, her uniform would be purple.

🔮 Enmu Tamio (Dream Hashira) would wear a blue haori that fades to darker blue towards the bottom, the print on it would just be a sky full of stars, his uniform would be blue.

🔥 Kyojuro Rengoku (Flame Hashira) would wear a white haori, with red, orange and yellow flames on the bottom and on the sleeves, his uniform would be brown.

✨️ Asuka Rengoku (Light Hashira) would wear a white haori with a golden leaves pattern on it, her uniform would be red.

☄️ Tengen Uzui (Meteor Hashira) would wear a black haori with a colorful firework pattern on it his uniform would be black.

🌫 Muichiro Tomioka (Mist Hashira) would wear a teal haori fading to darker teal towards the bottom, with a white mist pattern on it, his uniform would be green.

🌸 Mitsuri Kanroji (Love Hashira) would wear a white haori with some pink flames on the bottom, her uniform would be purple.

🪨 Fujiko Mori (Stone Hashira) would wear a light green haori with a brown tree branch on it and some white sakura flowers, her uniform would be green.

🐍 Obanai Iguro (Serpent Hashira) would wear his standard black and white striped haori, his uniform would be black.

🌩 Hiromi Kazeshi (Storm Hashira) would wear a dark brown haori with some red and yellow lighting on it, her uniform would be red.

🌪 Sanemi Shinazugawa (Wind Hashira) would wear a green haori with some white pinwheels on it.

🧿 Ayumi Shinazugawa (Shadow Hashira) would wear a midnight blue haori with some white and light pink flowers on it, her uniform would be black.

☁️ Haruki Amagumo (Cloud Hashira) would wear a white haori fading to bright light blue with clouds on it, his uniform would be green.

🩸 Akane Hayashi (Blood Hashira) would wear a dark red haori fading to black with a red spider lily print on the bottom, her uniform would be red.

🌹 Fukuge Miyazaki (Thorn Hashira) would wear a dark green uniform and his haori would be white with a red roses and dark green thorns print on it.

☠️ Rei Miyazaki (Death Hashira) would wear a greyish blue with a black plants pattern on it and her uniform would be dark blue.

I hope you all enjoyed this useless post, I just love fashion and I had a lot of fun trying to figure out what these characters would wear.💙

I have this idea that federal agencies decided to buy up the hosting costs that stored objectionable things on the internet. In effect, becoming the primary source and also stockpile of the very things they’re opposed to the digital presence of. 

Russia was sort of infamous for contraband that had to be imported by someone *cough* government officials. Distributed to the public as such by *someone* KGB et al. There was no free market. Soviet governments decided all commerce. “The fish rots from the head” they like to say. 

Emulation? Probably FBI servers. Mp3s, probably the same. Other objectionable content by the terabyte, same. On an internet populated by bots circulating media among themselves alongside Google spidering. 

Ever notice how news articles started to be “written” by people with meteorologist names like “ray sunshine” around the Trump administration? And how that was forever because he’s not president anymore? Yeah. 

(Did you know that videogames used to be made by the very same people who illustrated dime store manga? That never seemed to know what season it was, because they never got to go outside?)

[thedevilsrain]

here's a handy comparison chart

[grubhubgamingofficial]

So, uh, Goncharov had a manga. Yeah, it’s real. In fact, the movie adaptation is based on the third arc, in which the state of Goncharov is set into civil war by issues on the KGB and CCP sides. However, the movie doesn’t go over this. Instead, you have to read the second arc, in which Katya and the gang (Yes I’m a Katya Stan and think she’s a better protag, shut up) go after the heads of the KGB, The Butcher of St. Petersburg, and of the CCP, Jing Xipi.

I’ve watched the nineteenth episode of “Banana Fish”.  (Spoilers!) We see Ash at Golzine’s, he’s working for him and not with his body, but with his mind – he helps him to push his political plans… What the hell is happening? What politics are you all talking about? I understand that they are just showing what Ash has to live through while working with Golzine, but all that stuff sounds like complete nonsense. Also, ew. I have probably already mentioned it before, but Golzine is disgusting. Eiji wants to save Ash, with Sin’s help he arranges a meeting with Yut-Lung to find out that Ash is in Golzine’s hands, that he did it only to save him and that Yut-Lung hates him. Eiji, being protective over Ash, is so sweet too – now he wants to prepare a good rescue plan. Ash’s gang comes together with Sin’s, Cain also joins. Golzine won a tax case and throughs a huge party. He’s going to bring Ash too and he had also prepared a surprise. Our united team is going to get into that party and get out of it with Ash. Ash sure isn’t okay – he had an anorexia attack and now Golzine says him that he’s going to officially adopt him – that’s the surprise for the party. Ash can’t take it and now is going crazy. Yut-Lung wants to hire Blanca to kill Eiji, Blanca declines, then the almost head of the Lee family finds out all the background information on him. Okay, so Blanca is a Kazakh, moreover from KGB. Funny. Blanca saves Yut-Lung from a murderous assault and agrees to work for him, but only as a bodyguard. Something big is sure going to happen in the next episode.

Your posts are always a joy to come by! I recently started reading Eroica and while I realise that a limited number of chapters have been translated and put up online, I was wondering if you know how Yasuko sensei handled the geopolitical changes in the real world? Was the fall of the Soviet Union mentioned in the manga? What happened to characters like Mischa the Cub?

Thank you anon!

Actually, a part of post-USSR chapters are translated. The manga went on a hiatus after volume 18 (1988), and started serialization again in 1995, and the fall of the Soviet Union happened . So, when you get to volume 19, which has story no.15-Nosferatu, you can see how she handles the fall of the Soviet Union. I don't want to spoil you with the details as you are already reading the manga, but I can say times move on and our characters go along with it. Overall, the "Soviet threat" is replaced with other modern-world problems, like neo-Nazis, the aftermath of the fall of the USSR and the German reunification, and the never-ending NATO-related problems (we still have that in 2023, don't we?)... So Major will always have a new mission for protecting the world peace, and Dorian will always have something to steal! And Mischa is alive and kicking with the rest of the (ex-) KGB gang, just less relevant this time.

Be ready to see Mr. James with a laptop and lots of Nokia phones!

I really thought this was about an obscure 1970s manga for a minute there.

So you’re telling me

That Klaus travelled back in time

Was stuck in 1968

Went to war

Fell in LOVE WITH A MAN

AND WE DIDNT GET TO SEE ANY OF IT?!!!??!!?!

I would rather watch a whole show about that, than a show about people with powers

Passione's Bizarre Adventure

It is an AU that I've been writing for a while. Unfortunately, I lost all the chapters I had written, but I found my old notebook with all of my thoughts about this fanfic. So I could do some incorrect quotes that fits the story or write bits of it as fake chat prints.

OCs - Non criminal ocs... Yet:

- Yngvar Pris (20 years old), also known as Sir Sickness, is a childhood friend of Narciso Annasui. He works as a bartender at nigh clubs and sometimes as a freelancer writer and translator. Recently he gained Passione's attention through Annasui since his stand abilities could be well used and developed on la Squadra di Esecuzione.

- Myra d'Imperio (23 years old), also known as Imp or Myr, is a close friend and roommate of Yngvar. She's a freelancer stylist and makeup artist. She became Annasui and Jolyne's friend since they share some common aesthetic opinions. She's also a Stand user.

Notes:

- The villains are the main characters.

- JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is Rohan's masterpiece, the series and manga is the same we all know from Araki but on this AU the “true story” is mostly different.

- Besides Diavolo, Dio and Kars, no one knows that Kira's a actual serial killer.

- Diavolo has a thing for blond guys.

- Diavolo, Kira and Funny are close friends even if FV doesn't know much about Kira.

- The ocs' infos and stand details will be added later.
