I would like to make it clear that this is COMICS Clint Barton, not the mcu version. As a young boy, Clint and his brother escaped their abusive father by running away to the circus, where they learned the venerable art of trick shots, a skill he would use to become the hero Hawkeye. He is also Hard of Hearing as a result of his childhood abuse, and he has a dog named Lucky the Pizza Dog.
The Sullivan brothers were a real set of five brothers who served in the Navy during WWII. All five of them served on the same ship and, therefore, died when it sank, leading to the creation of the Sole Survivor policy that Saving Private Ryan is based on. At the end of the movie, the four older brothers who died first are walking into heaven, and the youngest brother runs up like, wait for me fellas!!!! Heartbreaking.

If your Sidestep was a worm, who would they trust to take care of them?
Ortega might overcompensate with the worm amenities, Angie's friends might mistake Worm Damien for a midnight worm snack, and Mortum might subject him to worm experiments to un-worm Worm Damien (Worm Damien doesn't want to be un-wormed 😔).
So probably Danny. Mostly because I think he'd be the most conscientious with Worm Damien's worm needs without overdoing it. Honorable mention would be Chen because Spoon drives a hard worm bargain.
Also, because the book 3 demo already gave us a glimpse of what it would look like:
Figure 1.1. A shy-hulud

A funny Idea: What would happen if Iruma and Asmodeus are in evil cycle at same time in the school.
Expectation: they are going to destroy the school
Reality: Irumean holds wicked Azz on a leash.
And Egg grandpa takes a picture and sends a copy to Amu-chan.
Oh kalego will take one look at them and will literally fly outta there like FUCK NO
Irumean will have to hold azz in a leash because azz will literally attack anyone who looks at irumean wrong, but also irumean has very high pride in his friends, so anyone who looks at them wrong will be set on fire. And we have to acknowledge the fact that azz did go through a lot of growth (and im really proud of him :,) ) so while he would throw a fire ball at any of his friends in a heart beat if irumean told him to, he would commit genocide if any of them got hurt, and irumean will be cheering if not helping
They will not destroy the school, but anyone who thinks about crossing the abnormal class will rest in pieces.
But outside of that, the amount of lighthearted chaos they will bring to the school will be fantastic . Last time irumean got them the forbidden room this time they're ruling the school and they're gonna terrorise everyone so much opera's days will look like a kids fight
And the teachers wont be able to do anything because irumean is observant, he is smart and he will bring out your weak point and abuse it with no shame. But he is still iruma, so he knows when to stop, when to smile, and when the easiest root is to gain their loyalty rather than force it or blackmail his way to it
And with a WP Azz? Blackmailing teachers is easy cause he is the leash holding him back, but he can't really hold him back that much so teachers will have to either do whatever they want or kick them out of school, but will sullivan really force irumean to go home uf he really wants to stay at school?
And i think irumean will make wp azz become more feral because when sabro calmed him down before, azz's vibe were calm, serene, but irumean's vibes are anything but. His vibes are bold, chaotic and edgy, so how will azz calm down when the iruma in front of him isn't calm? He won't. He will be more feral, his fires will shine brighter, and if left unsupervised all that will be left behind are ashes of what used to be

Street Fighter 6 comic Issue #4
lmao
DAMN this got pretty, good they saved the best art for the finale
So Ken’s admitting as much that it was never really about Nayshall and I like this. Ken’s just broken at this point and it’s crashing down on him the weight of how careless he was, and even if he was indeed tricked, he isn’t let off the hook (Kalima remarking “I believe your Foundation would have run its own checks as well?” and Ken not having listened to anyone who did and now berating himself for being a fucking idiot). What I’m liking a lot about this framing plot is it not being as clear-cut as Ken being innocent, Ken really does have shit to answer for, but it is also a monstrously unfair situation for him to be in and we want him to get out of it.
It is made all the more meaningful by how JP actually got Ken to do the things he’s being hunted for: Ken did fund an opressive infrastructure, he did fund projects that helped bring ruin to a nation, he did collude with terrorists, he did bring a horrific amount of danger to his own family, and he did detonate bombs all over a city that hurt dozens of innocent people. JP goaded, prodded and manipulated him every step of the way and then finally twisted his arm to make him an accessory to murder (and would have done it had Luke not been there by sheer happenstance), but the ruin of Nayshall has Ken’s name all over it and Ken himself put it there.
And oh god this comic’s going a long way to showing that, if we think what’s happening to Ken is bad enough, what JP’s done to Nayshall is much, much worse. I really really appreciate the comic making a point that Nayshall’s citizens are at much greater danger and that they are the bigger victims here, and that Kalima only bothered saving Ken because of his love for Mel.
A reach maybe but I’ll simply have to believe Naoki Urasawa’s Monster was an influence here in the wake of this panel and sequence, to me it almost feels like something out of the Ruhenheim arc.
So Kalima wasn’t really JP’s assistant after all, but a figurehead within Nayshall seeking independence for it that he’s also tricked and manipulated into giving him leeway, and we get the reveal that JP was staging false flag bombings to poison the well regarding the real independence movement within Nayshall. And oh man it’s, really just as we finally get Kalima’s deal and where she stands on this scenario is where she has to go. Really curious to see if she’ll turn up in-game, kinda hoping she does.
I guess 4 issues wasn’t much but I do wish Mel got to do more. But I do like him hijacking the drone transmission tech to put himself on display before Ken to give him that second wind. Luke and Ken’s fight scene is pretty great, none of the expected flash from a Street Fighter climactic fight scene. Just raw, miserable slugging with the comic painting this vast gulf of skill between the two as neither can afford to go down with the entire world watching
And oh man the way this depicts Ken opposite Luke, Luke’s desperation opposite Ken’s uncanny sharpness and even stillness, something you never really expected from Ken who's all flash most of the time. That THIS is the backstory for Luke’s scar, Ken just fucking punched that foul into him and let Luke give a monster uppercut to the chin freebie to him in return that didn't even remotely slow down, Ken as a fucking monster of a fighter finally getting to do the one thing he's still good at.
And all of that for nothing, Ken just fighting so his son wouldn’t see him go down without a fight, and EVEN THAT, all of this fire and misery and heartbreak and dramatic buff men fisting action, even all of that,
ALL ACCORDING TO PLAN. Because apparently the final master stroke of JP’s plan the whole time, to kick off the tournament and draw the eyes and bets of the world upon it from which he would launder and gain money, was engineering a narrative which people would turn up to see.
Getting both pieces in position, the young upstart battling to stop the fallen hero-turned-villain, and so that’s where all of his talk of narratives and fictions culminates: All of that is a part of the scheme through which he plunders and deceives and vampirizes his way through the world. He’s left Nayshall chained to his dark designs, needing to collect revenues and stay in the spotlight under his plan to stay secure. Much like a vampire, leaving the entire country alive only so long as he still has more to feed on it.
There was no master plan, there was no grander goal, no doomsday plot or grander ambition, this was a regular Thursday for him (Tuesdays are for some other guy). This is JP’s day job/hobby that we discover he’s been doing all over the world for years if not decades now. Moving through developing countries and nations under different names, getting attached to figureheads and developing legitimate infrastructure projects, stoking the flames of conflict and leaving countless lives ruined within months, and starting all over again.
KALIMA: I.T Nation? Cryptocurrency? Everything you did was for yourself! You insulted the sacred ceremonies and traditions of Nayshall! You didn’t save this country - YOU DESTROYED IT!
JP: History, tradition, culture, and sacred ceremonies...are all for sale as content! ...Zat is, until ze world gets tired of zem.
I'm very curious to see what is that Shadaloo tease at the end even if I'm kinda tense regarding their connection to JP. I feel like JP's done more than a fine enough job being set up as the solo villain that he doesn't need Shadaloo, he doesn't really deserve to be dragged down the path Seth was (and I do like Seth, or at least, I love SFV Seth making the best out of the fairly lame IV Seth), but then again, something's gotta account for that Psycho Power and those mystery funds and whatnot (also isn't Shadaloo run by Ed nowadays? I wonder if this is teasing that), so, let's wait and see. I remain thoroughly impressed with how great this whole thing was, they really nailed the landing here.
