Akira Toriyama's work was, for me and many others, a major formative influence on art style, character design, and all around creativity. Some of my earliest passion for drawing came from doodling Dragon Ball OCs at school, and trying to replicate the dynamic poses and fights from the manga and anime. His ability to interchange so well between goofy and serious tones, and introduce endearing and interesting characters, was consistently impressive. His legacy will endure across many mediums, stories, and childhoods.

So, remember how Kyoko Soryu had her mind/soul split during her contact experiment resulting in the part of her that recognized Asuka as her daughter to be stuck in Unit 02 while her body went insane?

What would it be like if it happened to Yui Ikari?

Keep in mind, unlike Kyoko, Yui went into her contact experiment knowing what would happen. She even brought in Shinji to witness it, telling Fuyutski it was part of her plan to leave the planet as a living reminder of mankind's existence.

I could see this playing out in two ways, both sound creepy to me. One, either the Yui that remains is superficially kind, doesn't get angry nor does she have close bonds, while Unit 01 is full of her rage... or probably- more likely- the Yui that's in Unit 01 is really the part that loved her son, maybe Gendo and Fuyutski, while the Yui shell is a ruthless, uncaring scientist who probably treats them all like garbage. Any trace of benevolence gone. What do you think?

Dragon Ball Z was something my friends in elementary school were always into. An old friend showed me some of the Saiyan Saga at my house, but I didn't really understand it then. Dragon Ball Z was always sort of there in the edges, something I hear about but not really get into.

I didn't really get it until Nicktoons started showing Dragon Ball Z Kai. I told my old friend about it, I was curious about seeing it, and then when I did...

History. Dragon Ball Z wasn't something abstract anymore. I got it. The first episode showed Bardock's final assault on Frieza, detailed Goku's origins from the OG Dragon Ball, and tied them to the present through Raditz's arrival. I was scared when Raditz beat Goku, pumped when Goku and Piccolo teamed up to save Gohan, shocked when Goku wound up DYING and there were TWO MORE SAIYANS on their way to destroy the heroes?

I was hooked. I read and saw the OG DB, GT and when Super came on I watched that too. Then it turns out the author and artist, Akira Toriyama, wasn't just Dragon Ball. His artwork was used for Dragon Quest and Chrono Trigger, he did a whole ass manga called Dr. Slump before Dragon Ball, AND a whole bunch of anime I knew about like Naruto and One Piece were inspired by his work. Toriyama didn't seem like just a guy anymore, he was something of a god that shaped the world to his whims.

Okay that was an exaggeration. Or is it? You be the judge.

Sometimes, I wonder if bringing back Dragon Ball in the 2010s was a good thing. Toriyama, by all accounts, seeemed pretty happy with retirement. I don't know if helping out on a whole bunch of projects while mentoring Toyotaro was something he wanted to do in his old age. I don't know if that's just me project either. Who knows what went on in his head?

Toriyama was inspirational and influential. I wish his family and his colleagues the best. I can't imagine what it must be like to work with him, only to find out the next morning that he was just gone. To see so many people come out to leave hearts for him shows he made the world just a bit brighter through his work. That's something we should all aspire to do.

R.I.P. Akira Toryama.

“Rooster Teeth had a lot of issues as evidenced by the allegations past employees have come forward with” and “Warner Bros is fucking evil for axing an entire company and letting some of its employees find out via tweet” are statements that can and should coexist.

Like. It’s not some gotcha that RT is shutting down. It’s not some vindictive justice that this Big Bad Company is gone now. Projects are now canceled. People will be fired from their jobs. And because it’s Warner Bros. it’s only a matter of time before all those animation projects (RvB, RWBY, Camp Camp, every single episode of anything they made) is scrubbed off of the internet.

It’s gonna be the same thing that happened with HBO Max. It’s gonna be the same thing with the Coyote vs. Acme movie and Batgirl.

RT going down is not the thing you should be lording over people. RT going down should not be some ammo for your “RWBY is mid” takes. RT going down is not some “I always knew it was cringe” meme. Real people are gonna be effected by this. People will lose this jobs and will lose all the passion projects they worked on.

This is horrifying for the people involved in these projects and the state of animation itself. Warner Bros. only owned Rooster Teeth for 2 years. They bought them in 2022. Not even 2 full years. They didn’t even get a chance and they axed THE ENTIRE COMPANY. NOT JUST ONE SHOW. THE ENTIRE FUCKING COMPANY AND ALL ITS IPS. HOLY FUCKING SHIT. THIS IS NOT THR TIME FOR A FAN WAR.

do you have any personal headcanon about what Jonathan would think of all the following Jojos?

Some people think that Jonathan would be disappointed in them,Jonathan, who accepted Dio, I mean his descendants were all heroes with good heart, just like him

Any thoughts on the recent passing of Akira Toriyama?

I don’t think it’s egregious to say that Toriyama was to Eastern comics what Kirby was to Western comics. He completely redefined the medium and helped manga and anime pave inroads with a Western audience. People talk about Superman being instantly recognizable globally, well Goku is right there next to him. He was a revolutionary who changed global pop culture forever, and I am simply at a total loss as to how to cover the extent of the man’s influence. All I can say is RIP, and leave the task of how to pay proper tribute to the icon in the hands of those who knew him personally.

DIO and Diavolo

 so, my last analysis post seemed to do pretty well (for a blog with hardly any posts and this size, anyways), which I am very happy about because i put a lot of effort into that post. I like making these jojo analysis things anyways, so here’s another one i’ve thought about for a while.

 a thing that interests me about DIO and Diavolo is that I believe Araki intended them to function as parallels to each other. Honestly, I’m surprised that hardly any jojo fans have pointed this out to my knowledge. A lot of people just seem to consider Diavolo as “Dio’s son’s enemy”, which is really just barely scratching the surface.

Warning: Spoilers for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure (although that’s pretty obvious. lol)

Rest in peace, Akira Toriyama. Legend doesn't even begin to cover what you are. You made a lot of people's childhoods very happy and your work has inspired millions and will continue to do so. You were amazing, King.

If DC is to a "Ultimate DC" for Superman? What would be your preferred vision / direction for Superman and his mythology? In other words, how would you handle an "Ultimate DC" Superman?

If DC has greenlit this, it's 100% because of the success of Hickman's Ultimate Marvel relaunch. Therefore the logical thing to do is take a look at what Hickman has done. His Ultimate line is a success in part because it serves as a contrast to the main 616 universe, while also throwing in a few genuine curveballs to attract interest. Approaching an Ultimate Superman with that mindset, here's his status quo as I would establish it:

First off: Put him in a different suit. The only complaint I have with regards to Hickman's Ultimate Spider-Man is that he's wearing the classic suit with a slightly different spider symbol. I get that 1610 Peter was the same. and Hickman is simply following tradition, but I think that if you plan on having an alternate counterpart to your main hero exist on an ongoing basis, their costumes should be different enough to let anyone identify who is who at a glance. For an Ultimate Superman, that means a different s-shield and no trunks. Let the Earth 0 guy wear the classic outfit, and put Ultimate Superman in something like the pic above. Also incorporate some of the New 52 designs that marked him as younger, like the messier hair.

Earth 0 Superman serves as the head of an extended "family" who wear variations on his crest and share in his mission. Ultimate Superman therefore should be a loner, at least at the start. No Kara, John Henry Irons, Kon, Kenan, or any other fellow Supers. No World's Finest partnership or Justice League either, I want Ult. Supes isolated.

Hickman gave us a married Spider-Man to contrast with the eternal bachelor 616 Spider-Man. Therefore the Ultimate Superman should be the eternal bachelor to his married mainline counterpart. Therefore if he's dating anyone it should not be Lois. Pair him with Lana or a villain like Livewire/Maxima, make a new OC love interest, don't have him dating anyone at the start, whatever. But we've seen Clark and Lois together as boyfriend/girlfriend and as husband/wife, don't immediately rush into that here. Keeping this Superman free to date others helps keep him unique and worth reading on an ongoing basis.

Against my wishes, Pa and Ma are alive again on Earth 0. Fine - kill them off here. Again, Earth 0 Superman has the large family, Ultimate Superman is a loner.

Keep the power levels low. My preference would be to have this Superman starting off at Golden Age/early New 52 levels of strength. He can't fly, can't bench press a planet, can't liquify concrete with a glare, can't hear a bird squawk a galaxy across, he's a street level hero who's basically Spider-Man tier. Earth 0 Superman is insanely powerful thanks to PKJ buffing him, let's make this guy more grounded.

We need a few wild curveballs like how Hickman killed Aunt May but kept Uncle Ben alive on Earth 6160, or how Peter and Harry don't know each other at all. My approach? Ultimate Clark does not work for a news organization, not a traditional print/legacy one anyway. He does not work for the Daily Planet, or even the Daily Star, he works as a writer for the popular podcast Wired In With Williams, hosted by Leslie Williams and exclusively licensed by CatCo (major entertainment/new conglomerate owned by CEO Cat Grant). Lois and her comrades at the Daily Planet are Clark's rivals, the dying remnants of traditional journalism who are giving way to the "new media". I would defy tradition by not having Clark ultimately join the Daily Planet - instead the Planet ultimately closes it's doors and it's Lois and her co-workers who find their way to Catco.

Jimmy is not a photographer, he's a vlogger and an incredibly popular one too. Everyone loves seeing him investigate weird shit that frequently results in Superman showing up to bail him out. Clark also helps script Jimmy's videos like he does with Leslie, and the two are close. They were roommates but Jimmy ended up moving somewhere nicer while Clark remains living in Suicide Slum.

Current Superman run makes heavy use of Lex - therefore I'd buck tradition again and not have Lex be featured for the first year. Instead, Ultra-Humanite and his Intergang, Red Cloud and the Invisible Mafia, and the secretive group known only as the 100 serve as the criminal foes Superman must face, with Maggie Sawyer and her Special Crimes Unit hunting Superman for his vigilante activities.

Earth 0 Superman is beloved and trusted, Ultimate Superman is hated and feared. People do not like or trust this freak, even the common folks Superman is trying to protect. He's viewed as a dangerous outlaw with uncertain motives. At the start people do not know he's an alien, most believe him to be a human with superpowers.

Instead of the North Pole, Superman's Fortress is in a pocket dimension called "The Phantom Zone", and he is able to teleport there via a "signal watch".

This is the basic building blocks for how I would approach creating an "Ultimate Superman". It's a status quo that is recognizably Superman, but also different enough from the mainline version to intrigue.

If whoever acquires RWBY makes Volume 10 with the crew, I'm there. If it's going to be a reboot that tries to go back to the "good old days" of the first three volumes, I won't be. I want an ending, not a throwback I know I won't like.
