the way we know nothing about kuwabara's dad. the way he doesn't show up at all until the epilogue chapters. why is he not portrayed as someone who kazu and shizu wouldn't care about like yusuke's dad. they're like. the same to me. neither show up even until the end except atsuko tells yusuke's dad that he wouldn't be welcome while that same logic isn't applied to Mr. Kuwabara and i have no idea why

so in chapter 170 he comes outta nowhere and starts talking about the stuff that's gone on so far and kazuma is like "who tf told you" which means they don't talk to him. we don't even SEE shizuru interact with the guy. the only ref to her he makes is talking about her accepting yukina into their household.

he gives off the vibes of an estranged older family member like an uncle that you never see but it's bad because he's their DAD. they don't even mention the kuwabara siblings having a mom and no other guardian is mentioned so that means their dad was the only one but we NEVER SEE HIM TIL NOW. where the hell was he while all this shit was going down?? obviously he heard about it so why didn't he come check on them earlier? maybe it's just a plot hole but honestly i just think he sucks so bad lmao

the fact that he came back randomly without saying anything and made it clear that he heard about all the world changing things going on and maybe even heard about what his son's been getting into and this is the first time we're seeing his face. Shizuru has been taking care of her brother all this time and they both went to the demon world for the dark tournament that kazu participated in at FOURTEEN. he almost died several times before and after this and no father in sight for either of them. idk man just something about it

story inspiration tag

tagged by: @lazysunjade <3

rules: write up a blurb or make a visual collage of the people or characters (from books, TV shows, movies, etc.) that inspired your story and/or OC, either visually, personality wise, or just a general vibe

heres my attempt, idk how you all get yours looking so nice and aesthetic ToT

My story inspo very much largely came from Makai Ouji and even inspired both Archer and Victor and their relationship (if you know, you know) I also got a good bit of inspo from a fanfic I read once that also had premise of witch outcast summoning a demon but I can't find it. There's likely a dash of inspo from Black Butler as well; I think it's safe to say that any media I have consumed with a summoned demon is inspo in some form lol

funnily though, I first made Victor in game and then was like "what if demon roommate" and it all just snowballed from there

I tag uh @morgynemberisagenderfluiddaddy, @void-imp, @barbieaiden, @latte-trait, and anyone else who has a story and isnt tagged sweats

Part of me wonders if we're supposed to think Vegeta hasn't figured out how to go Super Saiyan in kid form yet. He hasn't been getting in as many fights as Goku

PMC suggested that too. I could see it. I just hope they aren't going to drag it out.

Goku reconnecting with his abilities was paced pretty well, from the bar brawl up to and through the Tamagami fight. For the Tamagami fight itself, Goku's giving as good as he gets in base form before the fight escalates to Super Saiyan at an appropriate moment.

He and the Tamagami match each other pretty well, so the transformation comes off less as "How will Goku survive this!?" and more as "Okay time to get serious." At no point does it feel like the Tamagami is effortlessly folding Goku in half over its knee while he screams in agony and does nothing to stop it.

Contrast, say, the DBS Broly movie. Which. I love the DBS Broly movie. I'd call it the best piece of Dragon Ball media ever made, honestly. But. It does have the problem.

Goku is letting this happen to him.

Goku is letting this happen to him.

Goku chose of his own volition to let Broly win this tug-of-war.

Goku is letting this happen to him.

Goku is letting this happen to him.

Goku is letting this happen to him.

Goku is letting this happen to him.

Goku is still letting this happen to him. He can scream in agony until Nozawa loses her voice and it doesn't change the fact that he could just stop letting this happen to him at any time he wants.

This is the thing I hate about how the anime handles Dragon Ball fights. They try to create fake tension out of "OH NO, How will Goku manage to prevail when 35% of his power ISN'T ENOUGH!?!?" Uh, is the answer that he'll try harder? I bet the answer is that he'll try harder.

Toei just really likes the aesthetic of the dramatic eleventh-hour Super Saiyan transformation and tries to make that lightning strike again every single time they get to choreograph a fight themselves.

The manga, by contrast, doesn't do this. There are moments of "Looks like I'll have to get serious," where the character turns the tide by trying harder. But the build-up to that isn't long and drawn out.

So far, Daima's done a good job of avoiding that too. Goku always feels like he's doing a good job of assessing how much strength he needs to use and escalating where necessary.

But Vegeta's fight, for me, just felt like doing this again. Vegeta's fight is actually easier than Goku's because he explicitly doesn't have the overbearing atmosphere of Makai #3 weighing down on him. Not to mention, we've been expressly told that Vegeta's spent all this time practicing and trying to get back in shape.

And the result is that he fights Tamagami #2 on Easy Mode and gets destroyed like a Yamcha bout? Vegeta. My guy. What the hell have you been doing all this time?

Okay, I'm gonna actually go off about the Prinny 2 voice actor thing that i cut off in that drawing, nerd shit under the readmore

See here's the thing about the Prinny 2 voice actor thing that really annoys me. So like yeah, everyone sounds rlly weird and off, Flonne is the closest one they got right but she was still clearly voiced by someone trying her best to sound like Sandy Fox, Hero Prinny and Larharl were honestly dreadful to listen to, BUT the real kicker is Asagi. If you know anything about the Disgaea and related series, Asagi will always make an appearance but usually with a different voice entirely, she's basically just a joke character about never getting her own game(then they actually made Makai Wars and it was a fucking gacha game??? Heinous). Asagi has a rlly good English VA in Prinny:CIRBTH, honestly, and in Prinny 2 she gets a whole extra story mode, Asagi Wars, where you play as Prinny Asagi after she died at the end of Asagi Mode in Prinny 1, and there's a line at the very beginning of Asagi Wars where Asagi says " I've got the same voice for the first time, but now I'm a faux penguin🎵" which is a fun little throwaway line about her recurring VA joke, BUT SHE DOESN"T HAVE THE SAME ENGLISH VOICE IN PRINNY 2!!!! She has a completely different and honestly just plain bad voice in Prinny 2 and it bothers me to no end, especially with how good her Prinny 1 VA was.

anyways that was the final bit of my rant that wasn't included in that drawing

When Yusuke Urameshi is written to be mature and grown up by showing how he's not fighting anymore because of whatever reason, I feel like this is a big misunderstanding of YYH and Yusuke as a youkai in general. Yusuke descended from a Mazoku worshipped as a Toushin.

Toushin literally means battle god or a war god. Youkai that are S class and above are worshipped as gods in mythology. Raizen as a Toushin could have had his own worshippers like he was Ares from Greek myths (and better because he's not a coward). Being a battle god, you cannot take out the battles out of that creature and consider that maturity.

Raizen gave up fighting because he was missing his lover so basically not at his best shape mentally anymore. You can say he was depressed. If Yusuke loses the same joy he feels now from fighting, that's not maturity. That's him feeling the same melancholy as Raizen had.

Youkai like any other mythical creatures cannot be understood by giving them human interpretations or making them adhere to human customs. Maybe a 14 or 15 year old boy who doesn't get into street fights can be seen as mature but not a youkai who makes bonds by fighting friends. Raizen maintained friendships so loyal it withstood hundreds of years even with disagreements. Raizen's friends are loyal to him even beyond his death and all they could talk about him was how he was so strong and they all idolized him.

Yusuke building his own relationships by bumping fists is him just being himself. That's who he is and what he's comfortable with no matter if he was human or demon. It's not immature for a youkai like Yusuke to seek fights. His friends who all want to fight him aren't shallow in their bonding with him as the story already established by showing us how solid Raizen's friends were with him. If the Makai war proceeded because Yomi didn't accept the tournament, all of those youkai that allied with Raizen will be loyal to Yusuke and joining his side. They are friends who established friendships with fighting.

It's not unheard of in fiction and mythology and when this is misunderstood as immaturity by some fans, that's a disservice to what YYH is telling us. Youkai have a different society and social bonds that aren't lesser than what humans will consider as friendships. None of those bonds should be seen as immature or shallow. Youkai and human have differences but neither has to give up their identity to be seen as an equal.
