It's possible I'm reaching a bit here but I find it interesting that, in their boss fights in bbs, Xehanort manipulates the rock and dirt of the graveyard, while Vanitas utilizes the actual keyblades left behind. For one, it's foreshadowing for the characters they're about to fuse with: Xehanort using earth, Vanitas doing a sort of jetstream aerial attack, the preferred element of Terra and Ventus respectively. But also, they're literally each using half of the world against out heroes. Vanitas is the Keyblade, and Xehanort is the Graveyard.

Vodwatching yesterdays session from Kab’s perspective was so interesting because we don’t often see Kab and Clown interact on Lifesteal

What struck me the most was Kab’s dm to Clown ‘dont sacrifice yourself for them’, ‘they aren’t worth it’

It implies that Kab values Clown life over killing Mane which is crazy because she’s wanted him dead for months now, and shes asked for Clowns help with dealing with him before.

But “they” can be interpreted in two different ways: the Empire and the Blindfold bandits.

Don’t sacrifice yourself for the empire, helping them isn’t worth your life (It’s in a sort of superior way, like your life is more valuable than theirs, save yourself and get away before you die too)

or

Don’t sacrifice yourself for the empire, killing mane isn’t worth your life (In a concern type of way, I want to see you live more than I want to see Mane die)

The difference is very minimal but it speaks to how she views Clown, and either way the message remains the same - get out of there before you die like Zam.

Like it’s a small over minecraft chat interaction but it goes to show how much Kab cares and trusts Clown and gives insight into why she was so insistent that Clown would always have her back even when he wasn’t active on the sever. It’s obvious she cares for him a lot otherwise she wouldn’t have willingly sacrificed the opportunity to kill Mane out of concern for his life.

Question is, is it reciprocated? Kab obviously carries that strong bond she and Clown has into Lifesteal, and I would’ve expected Clown to not do the same so its surprising when earlier in the stream he straight up reveals his big plan to 1v3 them to her since he didn’t have anything to gain by telling her that. But ended up benefitting anyway since Kab offers to strike a deal with Sb for some god apples.

This entire conversation, they acted more like teammates than anything because they just have a weird almost unconditional trust in each other that doesn’t come with being just allies, which is important since we know that Clown is very willing to team with kab “once she proves herself”.

The notch apple thing also made me realise that Kab has a weird thing with helping people. She generally asks if she can help a lot (twice to clown in just one stream, and all those times shes asked Zam) and it’s such a striking difference how she treats Clown compared to how she treats Zam, who she imposes her help on, as opposed to Clown who she offers it to. Especially since she wants Zam to fufill that role of her protector that Clown is usually in.

This was just a bunch of yap lwk, but kab is interesting

Now that JJK 271 is out and had...an ending...I have one issue and question.

Why are people trying to force a narrative that most Shonen endings are bad?

Haikyu!!, Slam Dunk, Assassination Classroom, Mob Psycho 100, Dororo, Gurren Lagann, Zatch Bell, the ending of Chainsaw Man part 1, Trigun, Ashita no Joe, Gintama, the JJBA endings (especially Steel Ball Run and Stone Ocean), Golden Kamuy, Azumanga Daioh, Beck, Pandora Hearts, Great Teacher Onizuka, and way more than I can list all had great endings.

Heck, Full Metal Alchemist, a manga that many hold in especially high regard, is widely regarded to have a perfect or near perfect ending.

I have my own issues with the jjk ending, but some of them stem from issues I've had with the manga for a while so it wasn't surprising for the issues I've been having to crop up at the finale, especially given the rush to get there. But there are so many people quick to bash the entire category of manga. The examples of bad, mediocre, and/or controversial shonen endings are often just very well-known series so of course when they end people are loud about it.

As unsatisfied as I, and many people are, with this ending I feel like it was almost inevitable. Gege's health took a steep drop towards the latter half of the series and even more during this final arc. (I still swear by the fact that most manga, especially jjk, should be on a monthly format instead of weekly).

At the end of the day, endings are hard. You have to wrap up multiple threads in a succinct and satisfying way, and this is even harder when its a long running series or a series with a LOT of expectations. Coupled with the deadlines, restraints, and meddling most mangaka face when writing its a difficult task to wrap up hundreds of chapters in just a few.

Anyway it really has been our Potential Kaisen.

[ Cowboy, hi!!! Lets swap hats!!! Pointy hat for you :). ]

[ Got any outstanding opinions and-or 'teas' on your fellow shopkeepers? (That's how the slang works right?) What's a cowboy doing in a jungle anyways? Or is it just a style thing? ]

"Oh? How stylish!" "Opinions? Tea? Hmm, nothing exactly comes to mind. Tulip is my main supplier, and me and Tai are good friends. Everything here is pretty tame compared to when I, uh, lived in Plainstown." "I... Came to Turitopolis not too long ago. Plainstown wasn't always very, er... quiet... when I lived there. It emptied out after some, uh, 'things' happened."

fr for me there is no greater proclamation of love then knowing and learning to perfect and then making your s/o's favorite food or drink and no greater payoff then seeing them happy to eat it (and no greater devastation when they don't like the food or are politely neutral) and nothing violently attached me to the p4 cast more than the team gushing over Yu's cooking. Hate that for me, honestly.
