KONO TANJIRO DA! Kimetsu no Yaiba & JOJO's comparison. #DemonSlayer #JBA #AnimeFriedChicken There has been so much bloodshed since Muzan’s first assault at the beginning of the Dimensional Infinity Fortress Arc. Shinobu, Tamayo, Genya, Muchiro, Himejima, all of them dead. Obanai and Mitsuri aren’t looking too hot either. And as likely as it is Tanjiro will sink his teeth into Kanao next chapter, ending their ship in the BEST possible way, it’s easy to overlook some of the nuances in the story writing holistically over the last few chapters. Let’s see we’ve got the Bad guy Muzan an undead demon that eats people and is allergic to the sun, we’ve got our main character tanjiro who uses breathing techniques as battle moves and at the end of their fight the villain managed to take over the body of the main character. Is that a jojo reference? I don’t know how late to the party I am, but Muzan is DIO and Tanjiro IS Johnathon Joestar. And of course now that Demon Slayer is part of the extended Jojo’s universe, there's obviously a butt-ton of memes. Bare with me for this obligatory meme montage: OK so Gotouge has commented previously that one of her favorite manga is JOJO’s and there's some more overlap buried in the story, like the power systems used in each series. Hamon, or the ripple in JOJO is a martial arts technique humans can use in order to replicate the energy of the sun. Similarly, Demon Slayers use nichirin blades, composed of a metal refined from an ore that is perpetually bathed in sunlight, absorbing the sun's essence. And some demon slayers can grip their swords in a way that activates the blade, turning them red in turn being super effective against demon kind. In terms of settings, Demon Slayer takes place around 1912, only 24 years after the events of DIO stealing Jonathon joestar's body in phantom blood. Coincidence? Maybe. OK OK. It might be a little soon to be calling Demon Slayer an eastern retelling of the original JOJO parts. But you’ve got to admit, there's some solid crossover. Even comparing Muzan to Kars of JOJO part 2 battle tendency, the mission to conquer the sun is a huge plot thread for both shows. Hell, Johnathon and DIO, though not of the same blood, were still brothers, and having an undead sibling sounds a little familiar. Not to mention DIO was packaged up IN A WOODEN box while nearby Johnathon on the boat. LITERALLY THE SAME MANGA. OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE. OK that’s enough hit posting. Please let me know if I missed any other similarities between Kimetsu no Yaiba and JOJO’s. And if you think it's too far a stretch for me to compare killer queen’s bites the dust to Nezuko’s exploding blood. LITERALLY THE SAME MANGA.

A Bad Roll, Huh. Today I want to talk about Luck in Hunter x Hunter, and when I say luck I don’t mean ‘it sure was lucky that phinks and feitan didn’t decide to blow off gon and killuas heads during their unexpected run-in at the end of the york new city arc’. And I’m not talking about the OST track ‘try your luck’ best known for being the official anthem of orgasms at least for Hisoka when he was fighting Gon in heaven’s arena - Schwing. No instead I’m talking about two of Hunter x Hunters most luck based RNG mechanics and how they tie into the incredibly unexpected twist that was Kite being reborn as a Chimera Ant. Or at least, one of the unconfirmed but implied routes of how Kite made it back to the world of the living as a moe ant girl. First we need to think back to greed island. And before we start, understand that usually luck based plot mechanics suck and are usually an escape plan to help authors from writing themselves into a corner and are on the same level as ‘and then the character woke up and it was all a dream’ or ‘oh no, big mom has memory loss’. However, it is in fact NOT a contrived plot device when you instead have your terrorist bad guy use the magic luck enhancer buff as russian roulette lottery device forced onto hostages. Sickeningly cruel. Or sickeningly cool, depending on your disposition. As a refresher, risky dice is a greed island card that can be activated giving the user a 19 in 20 dice roll chance to have good luck on their next action, in life, doing anything. Buy a scratch card, kid, because you’re gonna win. That is, unless the 20 sided dice lands on the one side with the skull on, cos now you’re donezo. I hope you like bleeding blood out your ass because that’s you for the next 20 minutes as you slowly die. And we don’t see another luck based mechanism quite like this again until we enter the chimera ant arc and see Gon Reunite with Kite. Trigger warning guys, you know what’s coming. So we know Nen can be tricky business, and there are ways to strengthen your hatsu and really get the best bang for your buck with your ability by using vows, conditions, limitations and contracts. Kite in both creativity and mastery of his nen, implemented a luck based aspect to his power, ultimately materialising his ability, crazy slots. Kite as a conjurer, summons a weapon to fight with when in battle simple enough. The kicker is, the weapon he draws is randomised and can be completely inappropriate for the combat a particular situation calls for. Which ironically, is most of the time, evident by Kite’s catchphrase, damn a bad roll huh. Most aptly shown when he drew a giant rifle to fight melee close combat with an ant. But he’s an absolute chad and he made it work. Mad props to ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id7aepvPg5A

Why you should watch Darwin's Game. #DarwinsGame #BattleRoyaleAnime #AnimeFriedChicken Darwin’s game is the hottest anime of the season and sits at the top of the genre this year for Battle Royal Death games. And there’s some subtle hints that THIS show was going to be THE one to watch within the opening act of the first episode. Good lord is this opening scene cinematic. I guess cinematic can be a bit of a nebulous descriptor, but that editing man, cutting from opening credits to a chase scene with ear pounding music, was expertly done for creating a thrilling atmosphere of dread and spooky vibes. And closing out the shot with gratuitous bloodshed is, in my opinion, THE top tier highbrow cultured way to end a scene, mwah, masterful. Now when I mentioned that it has the cinematic EDGE that some anime LACK, this is part and parcel with it’s outstanding visuals compounding phenomenal backgrounds, unique character design, 3D camera work that isn’t obtuse, but complementary and finally, sakuga for days. It’s all action. And with my intuition telling me this is going to be the gore-fest I was searching for all my life, my mind was racing to draw comparisons to other battle royale survivor series to see how it stacks up. So I did myself the disservice of booting up mirrai nikki and btooom!, classic battle royale shows from generations past, and, well, yikes. Like it’s a big yikes from me. Now I don’t remember either shows being criticised on their aesthetics when they were airing seasonally, so maybe I’m being a little unfair with how well animation and illustration in anime has evolved through the past decade. Regardless, studio Nexus SMASHED it with Darwin’s Game. Now something this show is lacking would be thematic richness and as for the themes that ARE present, such as the morality of mass murder in the hopes of raising the probability of your own survival, are really only explored to a level you could call skin deep aka, not very heckin much. All the same, it is great to see SOME character progression in the path carved out for our snow flake of a main character as he slowly starts to lose his mind. A given, due to the cruel natural of the game he has found himself in and ultimately having him slave to the one primal motivation driving him…[Survive]. With more seasonal anime being made than ever before, originality is paramount, and Darwin’s game sets itself apart with a couple of key unique mechanics. First, the survival game is structured as a cell phone app, utilising in game messaging to communicate with other contestants, Notifications for timed special events, augmented reality use of your camera to track players and objectives, and loads more. And it’d be remiss to not talk about the anime’s second ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jQKspjlWiY

Chapter 191 Review. Demon Slayer : Kimetsu no Yaiba manga. #DemonSlayer #KimetsunoYaiba #AnimeFriedChicken Chapter 191, Demon Slayer : Kimetsu no Yaiba, Oh boy, here we go again. THis is a big chapter. Go dammit goutoge. Darting from hopes of winning the fight to utter despair, back to clinging to a new thread of hope then crashing down impending defeat. It’s like a rollercoaster with the highs being redn’d nichirin blades and access to the see through world, and the lows being pannels of wounded blood splattered demon slayers with one foot in the grave. I dig it. We ended out last weeks chapter with Iguro, Sanemi and Tomioka Giyuu all with red blades, dismembering Muzan with a debuff applied to his pesky regeneration. Topped off with inosuke, Kanao and Zenitsu using Tamayo and Yuushiro’s invisibility charms to keep muzan on his toes, striking unseen. And finally the one man army, the behemoth, himejima barreling through Muzan’s Torso with his flail. What a beast. So we open up chapter 191 with Tanjiro a beaten mess on the ground and I’d first like to address, that isn;t part of his his brain sticking through his forehead, it’s a demon growth tumor thing. Entirely cosmetic, he’ll be fine. Yuushiro injects Tanjiro with medicine, reminiscent from way back when tamayo injected Nezuko in her kick ball match vs the temari demon. Life is breathed back into Tanjiro with Goutoge drawing heavy emphasis in repeated pannels about how hard Tanjiro is gripping his sword, which we know is super important to channeling the energy of the sun into your blade turning it red. And it ends up being Murata’s plea for help to wake up Tanjiro to fight Muzan. I was sure it would be a girly cry for help from Nezuko or Kanao, but here we are, a solid ‘tasuketeeee’ from Murata and Tanjiro is up and at em. With impeccable timing to boot as the fight of Muzan vs the Demon Slayer core has taken a turn for the worse. Apparently, red blades, seeing the see through world, and invisibility don’t mean shid. Even Iguro glimpses into the see through world for a second, and Himejima devises a plan to attack Muzan in a group coordinated strike to simultanously cut Muzan’s multiple brains and hearts, 12 in total. But what does it matter. Because SECONDS latter, these guys are just blood soaked rag dolls hitting the ground and embedded into nearby buildings. They have been decimated. And you know it’s done with Himejima loses a leg. He was worth 4 pillars. And then to drill it home the only one not anhilated is Kanao and she is on her knees, clutching her sword as daddy muzan towers over her. That’s not a good look. They are finished. But then they’re not. Because Tanjiro jumpsin with a dance of the fire god attack, servers muzans arm and crea ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ_bCJwZPCA
