[d4rk-x-w0lf-17]

actually sobbing as i rewatch the second zatch bell movie again for the billionth time and realize that the vulcan robot throughout the movie is speaking with kiyo's voice while speaking and learning about friendship and togetherness, something that zatch helped kiyo with and learn throughout the series, which in turn made kiyo make vulcan for zatch

they're fucking peak siblings and peak found family

hahaha the story of his life

Chapter 23

[auselessmage]

I really gotta catch up on Zatch Bell. I was looking at the ZBⅡ chapter covers and I really like how everyone’s designs evolved

But what the hell happened to Tio bro

Like it fits and I love it to death, but I was NOT expecting Tio to be taller and buffer than literally everyone else lol. Like she hit the gym and hit it HARD. Do Mamono have gyms? I dunno, but whatever she did, it worked.

But I am super behind on this manga and really gotta read it again.

YOU GUYS NEED TO READ ZATCH BELL 2

Favorite Close Friendships/Sibling Bonds.

Here's a list of sibling bonds that I feel are wholesome, be it by blood or by pure friendship.

First there's Mario and Luigi, the original brothers in gaming. Throughout the years the two have always stuck side by side. Even though Luigi may at points feel like he's inferior to Mario, it's reassuring whenever Mario shows his brother how much he cares.

The move's plot was all about Mario wanting to save his brother, and going through a lot of trouble do to so. In the games, Luigi will quickly face his fears if it means making sure his brother returns home just fine.

Can't beat the bond that Mario and Luig have.

Sonic and Tails have a very wholesome bond with one another. Many see it as Sonic being the cool older brother and Tails is the little brother who follows him around and tries to be like him.

That's true, but just as much as Tails admires Sonic, Sonic also admires Tails. After all, Tails is the smartest person that Sonic knows and he invents so many incredible things. It's easy to see that Sonic is very proud of Tails and admires his genius.

This bond is a two way bond, both guys care a lot about each other and do their best to always help each other out and be there for one another.

Knuckles seems like such a big brother to Amy at times. It works well as the strong older brother and the gentle younger sister. Granted Knuckles has his softer side and Amy has her aggressive side. Whether these two rubbed off on each other or not is another story.

Amy is one of the very few people that Knuckles trusts with the Master Emerald, and he will leave her to watch it if he is evet unavailable. Knuckles is also very quick to protect Amy if she's in trouble, and likewise when Amy is not chasing after Sonic, she's seen trying to get Knuckles's attention in a way a little sister would.

Throughout Archie Comics, both in the Preboot and the Reboot, Sally's friendship with Nicole developed from a leader and her assistant to a big sister looking after her little sister.

Sally is the first to see Nicole in her Mobian form, and (along with Sonic), was the one who taught her how to feel true emotions. Sally always looks after Nicole, and always takes care of her. Likewise, Nicole always looks after Sally and does her best to ensure her happiness.

Sally already had a brother in Elias in the preboot, and she was close to him, but Nicole was someone she spent more time with. In the reboot, Sally and her father basically adopted Nicole into their family, and these girls have been the closest of sisters ever since.

Ryu and Ken are destined to be the best of friends. Their names translate to their martial art style of Dragon and Fist. Ryu was always focused hard on his martial arts, and Ken helped him see beyond his tunnel vision and realize what true strength is.

On the flip side, Ryu helped turned this spoiled rich kid into a respectable martial artist, and helped him become the fine man he would grow up to be. The influence these two had on each other cannot be underestimated.

Ryu's headband is a gift from Ken, an eternal reminder that no matter how much Ryu seems to struggle, he will always have a symbol of their friendship to help him push forward.

Spider-Man and The Human Torch have an underrated friendship. Spidey is close with other heroes, such as Daredevil and Wolverine. But Torch is a whole different level.

Peter Parker is an everyday guy outside of his suit. Johnny Storm is a major star even outside of hero work. Their opposite lifestyles built a close friendship, as both guys got to see what it's like on the other side.

Peter thought Johnny was lucky because of the quantity in his life. Johnny knew Peter was lucky because of the quality. Their bond was so close, Peter basically became like family to the rest The Fantastic Four. That cannot be denied.

Marshall Law and Paul Phoenix are the best duo in Tekken for many reasons. They've fought together for years, they've always had each other's back, and they grow stronger with each day.

Paul also looks out for the Law family, including promising to win prize money to ensure that Marshall's son Forest could recover after an accident. There's strong bro energy with those two.

Kiyomaru Takamine and Zatch (Gash) Bell are an example of a found family type deal.

When they met, Kiyo did not know what to make of Zatch due to his anti-social nature. Over time, Kiyo and Zatch bonded to the point where Kiyo learned to care and willingly looked after Zatch to ensure he would be okay, and help him become the new King of his realm.

Zatch knew Kiyo needed a friend, but on the flip side, Zatch needed one too due to how lonely he felt. The two healed each other and became a true family.

Sherry Belmont and her friend Koko is one of the better friendships in the story. Koko really helped Sherry out when things were really bad for her to the point that she actually saved her life.

When Koko was mind controlled by an evil Mamodo, Sherry would not stop until she liberated her friend. That showed true friendship and dedication.

When things are bad, a good friend could get you through the darkness. Sherry had that in Koko and it helped her become the fine woman she grew up to be.

Twilight Sparkle has an older brother in Shining Armor that she deeply loves, that is true. But most of My Little Pony was centered on Twilight's relationship with Spike.

While Spike proudly presented himself as Twilight's Number One Assistant, he showed to be much more than that. Spike was someone deeply loyal to Twilight, and always did what he could to help her.

Twilight probably did take Spike for granted at points, but mistakes like that can happen. In the end, she learned to appreciate her little dragon friend to the point where she finally called him her little brother by Season 9.

Going with a trio here. Applejack, Apple Bloom and Big Macintosh have one of the best relationships on the show. Any combination of these three usually result in great sibling chemistry.

The responsible but passive older brother, the stern yet adventurous middle child, and the energetic and quirky younger sister. The antics and wholesomeness writes itself.

From youth to adulthood, Goku and Krillin had an inseparable bond. Despite their rocky start, Goku slowly brought out the best in Krillin and inspired the monk to improve as a martial artist and as a person.

Krillin also inspires Goku in some ways, and without him, Goku may not have reached his level of strength, including the power of a Super Saiyan.

Regardless of anything, Goku and Krillin remain one of Dragon Ball's best duos. Krillin is not just Goku's best friend, I dare say he's basically his brother, and obviously a much better brother than someone like Radtiz was.

Growing up how he did, Trunks is lucky to have had someone like Gohan in his life. Gohan wasn't just a trainer to help stop the threat of the Androids (or technically Cyborgs), he was also the big brother that he needed, especially given that Trunks lost his father at a young age.

For Gohan, Trunks was the future, and a reason to keep fighting. For Trunks, Gohan was his hero, and someone he more than anything wanted to be as strong as. Even if their story had a sad ending, it still shaped Trunks to be the warrior he is now.

Credit to Caulifla and Kale. Despite their bond being shorter compared to most bonds in Dragon Ball, they still showed that they had a lot to offer and show when it came how a good friendship can go a long way.

Kale give Caulifla someone to fight for, and Kale years to learn from Caulifla's example on not only how to be strong, but to be confident in who she is as a person. It's no surprise Kale refers to Caulifla as "Sister".

Bayonetta and Jeanne may not have had the best start, but for their relationship to develop like it did is nothing to sneeze at.

Bayonetta was willing to go through literal hell to save her best friend, something like that is not very easy to top.

Despite not seeing a lot of Chris and Claire together in the Resident Evil games, these two are definitely driven by a desire to protect each other. Be it Chris lying to hopefully keep Claire away from danger, and Claire braving dangerous challenges to save her brother.

The incident on Rockfort Island proved even more how much they will fight to look out for each other and protect one another. Despite knowing the danger, they did not hesitate to save one another and would do it again if they had to.

In a franchise with such incredible adversity, seeing wholesome family dynamics shines a much-needed light and is a reminder that nothing is impossible, and that family is worth fighting for.

There's so much more, but I think I will cap it off here. Remember, friendship and family are important bonds, and must not be taken for granted. I bid you farewell.

Been reading Gash Bell 2(THE SEQUEL CAN YOU BELIEVE THERE A SEQUEL ?!?!??) and remember why I love this series so much so I can’t help drawing some thing for it xD I would do one where kiyomaro is standing behind him and gash in the front but wanted to challenge myself not to do something so generic and tried a harder pose!

Instead of Kiyomaro X Suzume being a couple, should they be friends or Foes?

Friends obviously.

Grappler Baki: The Stitchy Review

Started Grappler Baki June 17 2024.

Finished Grappler Baki July 6 2024.

Stitchy's Score: 9/10

I, like many others, have seen those infamous clips and "WTF is Baki even about" memes. I finally decided to take a look at the source for myself. WTF is Baki? Well, it's peak, I'm afraid.

I was once a hater of Itagaki Sensei's artstyle, I thought Baki was so ugly. "How can people stand to look at it?" I would ask myself. I am extremely happy to report, however, that I now have no choice but to stan my king and Baki's art. I think Baki has fantastic and engaging art. Baki's girlfriend, his landlady, his mother, ect, they all look like regular people. Only the guys that fight and have dedicated themselves to being "the strongest" have these horrificly muscular bodies. It makes a lot of sense to me and makes everything else pretty easy to swallow.

Each character is also pretty destinct which is also fantastic. I happened to really fall in love with the cast. I brought up my character designer friend in my Mashle review, but I was discussing Baki with her earlier today. She correctly noted that hight difference is also really important and Baki has it in spades. Yujiro Hanma is like the strongest dude ever to exist and there are actually a few characters taller than or almost as tall as he is. Baki himself is also pretty short, which is great. It makes everyone stand out more and helps the silhouette of the characters. Baki also looks like he really is a 17 year old boy! Another plus in a world where I am supposed to believe that Kiyomaro Takamine (Zatch/Gash Bell) is a middle schooler! He also has a great personality, a fun protagonist that almost seems out of place in such a violent story.

Grappler Baki is the most "normal" of the series, from what I can tell. All the big memes aren't going to be found here, unfortunately. That being said, this manga is still absolute nonsense. There's biting and ripping and breaking and just incredibly unbelievable violence. Baki characters feel like cockroaches! Baki himself takes a ridiculous amount of damage and just is fine at the end of the day sometimes. It really reminds me of the old brutal Mortal Kombat 9 x-ray moves, like Sub-Zero freezing your stomach and crushing it, before just continuing the fight like that didn't happen to you. The fights are so brutal and engaging to watch. Even when the side characters were going to fight, I often found myself excited to see how it went. It's just a good old time.

If you've never read or watched Baki, I don't want to give too much away from the plot (MAKE SURE YOU DO SOME RESEARCH! It really took me a minute to figure out what order best to consume the story as a whole. There's like 5 or 6 Baki mangas and two of them have the same name). I will say that I was really locked in the whole time, though! UNFORTUNATELY, this also has the bit where it loses that perfect 10/10 score. I will tell you that Grappler Baki has maybe four important female characters and unfortunately they are pretty lacking. They really don't get to do too much, Baki's girlfriend especially doesn't do much.

Most of our story revolves around a tournament, which is also a big plus. What arcs does everyone love? Naruto's Chunin Exams, Yu Yu Hakusho's Dark Tournament and, Dragon Ball's Tenka'ichi Budōkai, Yu-Gi-Oh's Battle City! The people love tournament arcs! We yearn for the tournament! Even Oda stuck one in One Piece during Dressrosa! A main plot that revolves around a tournament, what more could we ask of Grappler Baki?

Another thing I believe Grappler Baki handles well is what I'm going to call, "The Vegeta Problem." I call it The Vegeta Problem because he is always the first character I'll think of in the context. I define it as: introducing a character that is supposed to be so strong and intimidating but usually gets whipped before the main character gets to take his turn and beat the bad guy. Frieza, Cell, Majin Buu. Since Baki's villain is Yujiro Hanma, and he's said to be untouchable and just a ridiculously impossible standard, it never feels like someone is weak when they lose to him. Even people who lose often put up decent fights. Baki is very good at making fights really edge of your seat, which is refreshing!

In conclusion, Grappler Baki is a fantastic read. It has everything someone would want from a manga mainly about fighting. A ridiculous ride that grabs you and makes you really want to see where the twists and turns take the story!

White Feeling

Fandoms: Professor Layton and Zatch Bell! Rated: T Crossover AU: Vacantverse CW/TW: Unrequited Love and Age Gap. Summary: Luke reflects on his feelings for Suzume. Note: Wrote this out of spite towards AI writing. Vacantverse takes place in the new Professor Layton title's setting (NWOS). Word count: 426

'Every puzzle has an answer and is solvable.'

That was a lie. Luke knew this one puzzle that he was having a difficult time to solve. He has yet no answer to this puzzle.

'I'm not interested in romantic relationships. Puzzles and mysteries are the only things I loved.'

That was a huge lie. Big time. Luke knew he had been lying to himself. Only his mentor, Layton, knew the truth about his feelings for a certain someone.

Since Kiyomaro Takamine came to Steam Bison, Luke has been feeling anxious. Kiyomaro was not only obviously older and more experienced in detective work, but he was Suzume's ex-boyfriend.

When Luke learned about Suzume's dating history with Kiyomaro, he was extremely bitter with her for not telling him about her past relationships. Giving her the cold shoulder, Luke refocused on the cases that were irrelevant to Suzume's missing father, who suspiciously still hasn't been found.

Suzume has taken a hint and did solo investigations without him or Layton. And Luke knew why she did; she was the older one. She should know better than to deal with juvenile issues. She had avoided confronting Luke about his sudden change of attitude towards her.

Jealously.

Despair.

Those emotions hit Luke like a couple of bricks. No puzzle would ever replace the deep love he has developed for Suzume.

Luke despised Kiyomaro alone for dating Suzume before he could.

'I love you. I really love you.'

Luke wanted to say those words to Suzume. He desired to be more than her friend, but the four years and seven months of age gap between him and Suzume hindered those feelings of his.

Luke was fourteen years old, barely starting his teenage years. Suzume was nineteen years old, about to finish her teen years. He'd be starting his first year in high school this August. Suzume'd be in her second year at her university in the upcoming spring in her home country.

Luke has a zero chance of having his feelings reciprocated.

He knew too damn well, and yet he didn't want to give up on his feelings.

He was very determined to solve that one complicated puzzle; Suzume's heart.

Luke really wanted to know how she really felt about him. Deep down, Luke hoped Suzume felt the same towards him.

In the end, Luke may be a gentleman and an apprentice of a famous one he admired for years, but in reality, he's just a teenage boy, mistaking his infatuation for love, and teenagers would go extreme to get their affection noticed.
