-- When I ask Super Sentai and Kamen Rider alumni for interviews, etc., "Would you like to make an anniversary film?" most of them answer, "I would like to do it.” Some of them actually do, but unfortunately some of them don't. So, since you are a pioneer, do you have any advice on how to realize an anniversary work?
Nagasawa: One piece of advice would be to have Kohei Yamamoto in one of the works.
(All laugh)
Yamamoto: What do you mean!
Nagasawa: We need one person to take everyone's feelings into consideration. Red and I say whatever we want to say, but in Hurricaneger, Kohei is the one who brings it all together and takes it to the big guys.
Yamamoto: For each Super Sentai, there must be one person like me.
so cute how similar this is to their characters’ dynamic 🤭

Caesar's theme (Il mare eterno nella mia anima - Kohei Yamamoto ) truly is one of the most unique pieces of music in Jojo especially when it comes to jobros. everyone else' has rock/pop type song but Caesar has is an opera 's songs are heavy on the instrumental music itself but Caesar's song focuses in the vocals (most jobro song dont even have any vocals or lyrics). And the fact that the whole song was produced specifically for Caesar's death scene. It was also used when first introducing the character.
The lyrics, which talk about death and memory point to the fact that Caesar's greatest feat was to die for the Joestar family (which uknow is the Zeppeli curse). His whole life, backstory, his whole character arc all lead to the moment when he sacrifices himself for Joseph. His whole purpose as character in the story is just that. Even though he does serve a purpose as the more experienced rival to Joseph but that too leads to him accepting his ultimate faith.
And the song i think summaries that well. Because as Caesar as a character the song too was made for that specific moment specifically.

Jenga dares
Jenga dares series#
Jenga dares free#
Yes, all the punishments are that intense, we only bring it out on "special occasions". One of my favorite dares is "friend the first 10 people on Facebook suggested friends" or suffer the consequences of 2 shots. Set up Jenga blocks: After all your Jenga pieces have a different rule on them, set your blocks up just like regular Jenga. The first one I made was a raunchy gift for a girlfriend with handwritten dares. Drunk Jenga Drinking Game Setup: Write rules on the Jenga blocks: Drunk Jenga is mostly like regular Jenga but with a twist To start, take your Jenga pieces and write a different rule, dare, game etc. This isn't my first handmade Jenga game, I must admit. It only cost me a total of $60 because I owned some of the supplies already, which is almost half the cost of the Sunnylife version! This project took me an hour and I will treasure it for a lifetime. However, I quickly snapped out of it and started cooking up my tutorial and gathering my supplies. My dream took a turn when I went to check out and noted the price, $110 buckaroonies!įor a brief second I almost forgot that I am a hand made queen and started thinking of my life without a rainbow Jenga game, it was very dreary indeed. I found myself on Anthropologie with this Sunnylife Giant Rainbow Jenga in my cart, daydreaming about how my family would deem me the MVP of the Summer for purchasing. I got inspired to create this when I, much like many of you, went searching online for fun games to play at home.

4.5 out of 5 stars (32) 19.99 FREE shipping Add to Favorites Drunk tower - Drunk Tipsy tower - adult drinking game Ad by PRIKRDOLaserDesigns Ad from shop. So until next time, ありがとうございました to my A&M people.I don't know about you but I have been spending a lot of time outside this Summer and we all could use a rainbow after the storm we have been through cue my rainbow Jenga tutorial! Date Night Truth or Dare Jenga Ad by DateBoxClub Ad from shop DateBoxClub DateBoxClub From shop DateBoxClub. But I just want to thank Cruchyroll and Amazon for publishing this greatness that is Grand Blue. Along with the hope for Cakey to reveal true feeling for Iori or a someone else! (Naw its Iori). But, as we return to the arc next chapter with Iori’s revenge. It’s like a get away from the more serious plot that is happening right now. It’s always fun to get another half chapter. Along with how would Chisa feel about that. I wonder what would have happen if he had to do that dare tough. But, he still has to do the penalty at the end which is just the normal beat up and humiliation. It might just be me but Kohei this year especially has been my favorite of the series.Īs the chapter ends Iori doesn’t have to do the dare due to Kohei saving him. He just comes in the clutch very often its unreal.
Jenga dares series#
By saying that this year Kohei has become my favorite in the series right now. With them saying that he can take the penalty. But, he forgot how much of an asshole and very prospective his friends are. He really though that he could just slam his head against the table and take the penalty without anybody seeing his block. Kinda also revealing the cover page for this chapter being a spoiler you wouldn’t even realize without reading. But, you know karma is a bitch and as he picks up a white block(good one) it send him straight to the black one(really bad one). But, he was gonna be another dick and wait until after the game. As he finds out he was prepare to expose Nojima. That being the intensity of the dares being determined by the color. Iori finally finds out the secret of the game. Iori Finds Out the TwistĪfter a long game. Just an overall enjoyable roasting of one another. The part where they told Kenta to take a picture with a funny face and took multiple with his original was also funny. The typical virgin thing is just gonna live forever for Yamamoto and now for Nojima also after revelations. We get some other truths and dares in the game. So I will just reiterate that life ain’t easy for my boy Yuu. Cause he has two choices in life either end up dead at the bottom of the river or be in a very abusive and life threatening marriage with Rie. Cause she was not taking just kidding for an answer again. Well it looks like my boy is getting hitched for real this time.
