XENOBLADE 3 CHAPTER 6 SPOILERS INCOMING!!!

A preview for the next story update for the new year!

[buffintruder]

Normal brain: aa localizations replacing ramen with hamburgers, leading to a bunch of Japanifornia food jokes

Galaxy brain: aa localizations replacing ‘kusaya bento’ (a type of real fish that is actually eaten in Japan) with ‘trilobite lunch’ thereby creating a whole alternate history where the Permian mass extinction going differently somehow resulted in spirit channeling being real and ww2 not happening

Barkk the Dog, Kwami of Detection

Here's my redesign for Barkk! Nothing too major, just some added markings on her ears and a visible nose. In this AU her concept has been changed from Adoration to Detection. She keeps the power Fetch; but also have the powers Trace, which allows her to track down targets; and Sixth Sense, which is a power to alert holders to potential danger.

Her transformation phrases are "Barkk, let's track!" and "Barkk, lay down!", and her favorite food is kusaya, fermented fish made in Japan.

Rom Coms are Comedy Gold Part 3

“The dark hot pot continued onto the third round. Although Shido had miraculously chosen safe ingredients, the taste of the soup that had grown thicker over time had gradually eroded his body.

Incidentally, besides Shido and Kurumi, the only one left conscious was Origami at the opposite side of the kotatsu. Yoshino fell to the combination of super spicy peppers and soup just like Natsumi. Yuzuru was left unconscious from the pouched salty licorice.

As for Kaguya, she self-destructed from the kusaya she put in herself. When it came to Miku, she stood up and said, “I’m going to nurse after the fallen girls!” And then she tripped on the kotatsu cord and fainted from hitting her head against a pillar.

Additionally, surrounding Shido and Kurumi, there were several figures resembling Kurumi crying and sobbing in the shadows. …Well, that was digressing away from the story.”

Excerpt From Date A Live Encore - Volume 05

(Some Context: Hot Pot was sabotaged by Kurumi, who got forced into eating it as well via the rules of everyone who puts an ingredient in has to eat. Kurumi forced her clones to eat from the hotpot.)

So I just discovered the most foul smelling dish is a Swedish fish dish called Surströmming: A newly opened can of surströmming has one of the most putrid food smells in the world, even stronger than similarly fermented fish dishes such as the Korean hongeohoe or Japanese kusaya. (Wikipedia)

Swedish!MC barely opened one (1) can in the Savanaclaw dorm lounge after the mobs won’t stop harassing them and now they are feared by the entire school.

On a side note, do you think Lilia will attempt to make something with it?

Poor Yuu, they just wanted to enjoy their lunch. lol

Also absolutely. "OH Yuu what is that interesting dish you have there?"

"It's Surströmming. I know it doesn't smell very appetizing, but I swear it taste really good. Want to try?"

"Yes! I've been meaning to try new dishes for the lads at Diasomnia, and I think this is just what I needed."

Ziggy: -Goat of Imagination -Delta, Positive -"Draw my horns!"/"Bow my horns!" -Hair Clips -Polearm -She/Her -Biscuits

Genesis - Allows the holder to "draw" in any object they can Imagine into reality. However these items are fragile, and too much use, pressure, or force will cause them to vanish.

Sketch - The end of their polearm glows, allowing them draw glowing lines and shapes to appear wherever they touch. These are not physical entities and cannot be directly interacted with, but can be used to leave messages, marks, or to guide.

Uproar - Glowing golden energy is summoned from the staff, which causes powers to malfunction.

Barkk: -Dog of Detection -Delta, Positive -"Let's track!"/"Lie down!" -Collar -Ball -She/Her -Kusaya

Trace - Whatever their ball comes into contact with, the ball will track it down upon the activation of the power, leading the holder to their target. It doesn't matter where the person or object is hiding, what they used to mask themselves (magic or otherwise), they will be followed and found.

Fetch - Upon activation, the ball zips towards the object it was fixed to track regardless of distance or obstacles, instantly teleporting both the item and the ball back to the holder's hands.

Sixth Sense - When something on a large scale is about to happen, the holder can get a feeling of danger forewarning them that something will happen.

Forever and ever, pt. 5: the mystery was solved 🕵️‍♂️ A couple of days ago, after taking care of bad guys, Spike was generously rewarded with stinky cheese, kusaya (dried fish) and durian (it’s pulp is delicious, but the rind smells like “rotten asshole of a roadkill skunk”). He left the food and forgot. Again.

The Freedom of Expression, radio version - Ep 65, Dec 2016 - Christmas, Controversial Fabreeze CM, Rocker Uchida Yūya.

Kaoru starts that by saying that its Christmas Eve today, but then corrects himself because as the show is always broadcast at 1am, its actually now Christmas day. Joe asks Kaoru how old he was before he stopped believing in Santa. This is actually a question that came via email last week, Joe had just forgotten to check it. Kaoru then repeats the question, 'Did you believe in Santa? If so, how long for?'. Kaoru thinks he probably believed in Santa until about 1st or 2nd grade of elementary school. The trigger for him no longer believing is when his parents took him to buy a Christmas present together 🤣. Joe asks what type of stuff he bought, and Kaoru replies that Doraemon was big when he was a kid, so he used to get Doraemon stuff, but also sometimes Ultraman stuff, or Robocon stuff. Joe then asks whether Dir en grey ever do Christmas events. Kaoru says they don't, neither have they every made a Christmas song. (*Imagine a Dir en grey xmas song!* 🤣)

Kaoru then reads out another email, this time from a woman who says she has recently fallen in love with a man who is super into heavy metal, and she has no idea what to talk about with him. She really wants to make him fall in love with her, so she asks Kaoru to play some heavy metal on the show that she can use, to impress the man she loves with her knowledge. Kaoru says that he himself doesn't know a lot about metal. He is not sure whether this is metal, but he decides to play one of his own songs - Tsumi to batsu.

After playing the record, Kaoru comes back on-air, saying he felt so nostalgic hearing the song, he started sweating. He then wishes the woman who sent the email well in her quest to snare her man.

Kaoru's first topic this week is about a controversial CM produced for the de-oderising product Fabreeze. The cm shows people smelling a dried, fermented fish product called Kusaya, while pulling faces, and saying it stinks. They then smell it again after using fabreeze to demonstrate how well the product eliminates bad smells. This cm has angered the residents on Hachjōjima, an island know for the production of Kusaya. The question has since arisen of whether its ok to use Kusaya as a symbol of stinky things. Kaoru and Joe are both quick to say that this food does smell bad, thats why its called 'Kusaya'(*in Japanese, stinky = kusai*). Joe says it can't really be helped if it has this kind of association, that is the identity it has. Kaoru says that it could alternatively be seen as good promotion. Joe agrees, and says there are probably a lot of young people who have never even heard of kusaya, so this might be a good chance for the makers of it to spread awareness of it. On top of this, says Kaoru, comedy shows have been know to quite often use kusaya as the typical stinky item, so he's not sure what difference this cm makes. Being stinky is its selling point. Joe says that in the current age, its so difficult to get people to take notice of things when so little info is provided. So even though this may be portrayed in a slighly negative light, the fact that it is actually getting public attention could be the starting point to revealing the true charm of kusaya to the public. This is a good chance for the people of Hachijōjima. Kaoru agrees. Kaoru thinks that commercials used to be a lot more offensive than they are now. Joe confirms that they were, and says that society used to also be much more tolerant of offensive material than it is now. Kaoru thinks the old way was more interesting. Joe continues to say that the world in general is becoming too intolerant. If anything is even a tiny bit wrong, people are so quick to go on the attack these days. He wants the world to be a bit more tolerant. One person's bad could be another person's good. Kaoru states that nowadays there is less and less for young people to aim for in terms of careers, as the world becomes more strict in its opinions. For example, in the Shōwa era becoming a teacher used to be thought of as a good job, but now becoming a teacher means having to face monster parents, so is much less appealing. Joe feels more tolerance is what the world needs.

Tasai joins them next, and Joe says he is glad its Tasai joining them on Christmas Eve, and not Hiranabe. Hiranabe would probably be full of filth. Tasai's news is about legendary rock star Uchida Yūya, then 77 years old. Tasai says that despite suffering a fall when he was recently in the UK, which resulted in him being unable to walk, Uchida (now back in Japan) has since attended a Roman Porno event. 35 years ago Uchida had starred in the Roman Porno movie 'Aaa onnatachi waika (嗚呼！おんなたち　猥歌). During the event he told a story about an actress on the movie whom he labelled 'useless' after she lost her temper. He apparently said, 'I shouldn't say who it was...but it was Takahata Atsuko'. Uchida's appearance at this event was supposed to be for a 30min talk session with director Yukisada Isao, but Yukisada only managed about 30 seconds worth, Uchida talked about his own things for the whole rest of the time. He ended the talk saying he wanted to go home, and the food there was disgusting.

They all think Uchida is pretty great. Tasai comments that Uchida's way of life is often described as 'rock', but what is the definition of 'rock', what does that even mean? Joe says he knows Uchida quite well, and there are plenty of things he can't repeat about him, but he tells a story from after the 3.11 disaster struck Tōhoku. The photographer Kurigami Kazumi had seen Uchida riding through Tōhoku on his bicycle then at over 70 years old. Kurigami had described this as 'rock'.

Joe says that Uchida is also responsible for discovering a lot of new musicians, and he was also know to many big overseas musicians, including Frank Zappa. Uchida said about himself, 'There is no one else who has contributed as much as I have the world of Japanese Rock, and has also made as little money as I have'. Kaoru says Dir en grey were once invited to Uchida's annual New Year event, but were unable to attend due to timing. They all say again that they think he is pretty cool. Joe says that Uchida did have a serialised column in Rolling Stone magazine, and for his first entry he wrote about getting arrested at Harajuku police station. Tasai thinks he would get on well with Kami.

Kaoru finishes by saying he's glad he got his new bgm finished before the show ends. He had promised to do it during the summer, but never did. He then plugs the aknot dvds, the Uroboros and Moab tours (including one date in Okinawa), tells listerners to look forward to the last episode of this radio show next week, and ends by saying 'Merry Christmas'.

Songs - Dir en grey/Tsumi to Batsu, Limp Bizkit/Nookie, Dir en grey/Ain't Afraid To Die.
