I feel like I'm crazy, but why does Lariat have the same face as Sybil from Pseudoregalia?

I mean, they have the same "constantly peeved/pissed" look. Both how diamond shaped irises, both have the ^ mouth, and even their eyes have a similar color.

For anyone that does research for their matchups, have you ever had that annoying thing where a series is so niche that it doesn't even have a functioning Wiki so you have to personally skim through even piece of that series just to get anything?

Rant:

So basically I got into two series, Legendz and Onmyou Taisenki, two niche Digimon-Likes made the same folks as Digimon (Bandai and Wiz).

The issue is that both are niche as fuck and of course, don't have any pages on shit like VS Wiki or any other niche site. Even using the English Wikis for them is bad because Legendz's is rough around the edges, and Onmyou's is straight up disfunctional and unusable.

This sucks for Onmyou cuz it's power system of using In and stuff is odd really involved and the Wiki doesn't fucking list any of it, even for the important characters. On top of that, there's no Japanese Wiki, and the only decent Wikis still are limited and are missing information, not to mention the stuff not mentioned about the Manga (annoyingly, Onmyou has a prequel manga that ties into the show, unlike Legendz which is entirely a different continuity from the Anime)

I not gonna even bother with the games cuz they noncanon and I can't read Japanese since no English release or even patch or nothing.

This means, I have to go through all 52 episodes of Onmyou Taisenki, the 27 Chapter Manga, and the 50 episode run of Legendz, read down every important note for any facet for this characters and their scaling, not matter how dumb, then organize it for future use.

On top of that, I'm working an a full fight script, and that means having to actually scale, plan and write out segments for Wiz and Boomstick, on top of the actual fight and conclusion, so yeah, that's a lot of work.

Suck to be a fan of niche ass series, but at least length and content wise, it isn't like Keroro, your average visual novel/actual novel fan, or anyone who's a fan of series that haven't been fully localized yet. (Insert me waiting several goddamn years for some one to actually translate the Turn A Fukui novel to actually see if the claims about Turn A are true because I want to be thorough)

Anyway, respect for people that have to actually go through this stuff for bigger series, it makes it easier for others and I want to rant because the process is annoying sometimes.

This scene from the anime Legendz in where Shiron the Windragon enraged, blew away every cloud on Earth with just his wind.

This scene is from Episode 40 and happens around 7:48 of the episode.

Finally got to watch Hathaway 2 and it's so funny that they showed the RE GZ Custom, then proceeded to do nothing with it, kind of like that RE GZ in Unicorn.

Man, it was so brave for Cyber Connect 2 to just remake Megaman Legends twice, but with furries.

I mean they did work with Capcom to make Asura's Wrath.

Random question, who wins? Redman from Tsuburaya's Redman or Noble Red?

If you don't know who Redman is, he is the titular hero of Redman (1972).

The show is about this dude that goes around killing monsters in a one man quest. The funny thing about the series is that it doesn't have any context for who Redman is so it just looks like he's seeking out sometimes seemly innocent monsters and killing them. It's to the point that both Japanese and Over-seas fans see him as more of a crazy killer that hates Kaiju. The show is also extremely low budget and reuses suits from Ultraman and other shows.

Apparently his lore is that invaders destroyed his home planet and he fuses with a human (like Ultraman) and seeks out this Kaiju due to them apparently being responsible for destroying his home. (This comes from magazines and other external sources)

So the joke is that you got a dude that hates monsters vs a group of women who see themselves as hated by others for being monsters.

I know these are the XDU exclusive designs for Noble Red. (It was literally one of two decent images of them as a group, plus I like this designs)

Redman is known for his many powers, techniques, and weapons, like the Red Knife (a knife), the Red Arrow (a cross that he throws like a javelin), the Red Thunder (beam attack), unused attacks like the Red Fire (a 60,000 C fireball) or Red Cutter, the Red Chop, Punch and Kicks which are self explanatory, and my favorite the Red Fall which either is a throw to the ground, or him throwing the corpse of his enemies off a cliff (no I'm not joking).

This is sort of coming out of the blue, but what ever happened to Georgetheblob?

If you don't know they were an artist that made comics about Godzilla Gijinkas and were cute. I tried to find the originals, but besides an unused Newgrounds profile and some reuploads from with Tumblr users and Pinterest reuploads, the OG account was deactivated.

Just want some clue into what happened, assuming this was documented or anything.

Also Link for this comic: https://ckret2.tumblr.com/post/187704400912/georgetheblob-art-son-of-godzillagood-3

I need help finding a fan comic.

So, a while ago, I remembered to stumbled onto help and found a funny comic, in where the Long Quiet wakes up to the other voices (I think?) trying to kill the Princess who Quiet is living and sleeping with.

They voices have a massive argument and chaos ensues, with the Princess waking up to a confused TLQ.

That's from what I remembered so the details are fuzzy so yeah, need help.

Guiron's Design in Gamera Rebirth.

Guiron is so cool man.

An amazing redesign that takes a charming, but dumb design that was impractical, to a well thought out design that keeps the spirit of the original while changing it to be something greater.

First, how it integrates the OG elements into it's design. Guiron's whole thing, is that he got a knife for a head, and uses it to chop enemies. In the original, Guiron was literally just a knifehead, a literal interpretation of the idea. Here, it's reimagined as a horn-like growth made out of a harder, metal material compared to the leathery scales of its main body. It also takes into account how the monster moves as in the OG Guiron was an agile monster, as it puts that into it's design, by making Guiron curvy and flexible looking, which hints to it's actual movement, on top of it actually being shown through its movements.

Second, how those elements are reinterpreted. Examples include the Shuriken projectiles, which are now metal scale projectiles that shoot from the spines like a railgun, or the head being more thought out, such as the jaws blending in to its sword horn, that open up as an armored lower jaw.

There are other stuff I love, from the red eye that acts as a nice contrast to his blue color, that acts as a short hand for his villainous role, the thought they put into his anatomy which is actually shown in his bisection death, the Damascus Blade pattern on his blade, it's just so cool.

I also find it funny that this Guiron had a lot of thought put into the practically and functionality of the monster, while the OG design was so flawed that the suit couldn't handle it. See, the OG suit was supposed to be bipedal, but was so heavy that Guiron was effectively turned into a quadrupedal monster, which would become the default interpretation of him.

Plus, he was like the coolest monster in Rebirth so yeah, Guiron is cool and full of meat.

Is this comparison accurate?

A specific incarnation of a preexisting character given a new design.

Said character being a blonde swordsman with a glowing blue blade.

They have a slender body, but are quite strong.

This character is sealed for a hundred years in a deep slumber.

They are awoken by a blonde scientist lady (Ciel | Zelda) who awaken with amnesia.

They are helped by a spirit person that is actually the ghost of their dead friend. (X | King Hyrule)

They get their signiture sword a bit after they awaken, rather than just having it on them.

They both were part of a catastrophic war that devastated the world (Elf Wars | Great Calamity), caused by a dark being of corrupting influence (Dark Elf | Calamity Ganon) that has formed from another being. (Mother Elf | Ganondorf)

Said war involved the being corrupting machines onto their side (Reploids and other machines | Guardians) and wreaking havoc.

Said evil was sealed away because a person close to them, used their bodies as a vessel to seal them evil away. (X | Zelda)

Both of the games setting are different types of "ruined" societies. (dystopia | post - apocalyptic)

Both are shown utilizing any weapon they can find. (Z Knuckle weapons | how weapons work in the Wild games)

Both also funnily enough have access to elements, which are a triangle of fire, ice, and electricity.

Both fight a villain group that are four elemental enforcers of one of the bad guys. (Four Guardians | Blight Ganons)

Both have a special arm weapon. (Z Knuckle | Rauru's Arm)

One of their more popular class of enemies are mass produced one eyed robots. (Pantheons | Guardians)

They use some sort of pixie like creature that can help them in combat. (Cyber Elves | Fairies)

Can single handedly take out entire groups of enemies on their own.

One of their games climaxes is them falling in the sky in a battle with the main villain.

Eventually rediscovers their memories.

Megaman Zero is just Metar Gear Rising and I can prove it.

-Both are spinoff sequels to notable video game series (Megaman X and Metal Gear Solid)

-Both focus on the secondary sword wielding hero (that people say look like a girl) who continue fighting even after the death of the previous protag.

-Both are some sort of technological being common in Sci-Fi. (Android | Cyborg)

-Both would gain a new body/design that would become just as iconic as their previous design (debatable)

-Both would fight in a wartorn world that is a result of the past installment's events.

-Both games change a lot gameplay-wise from their predecessors and focus on sword-based combat with a ranking system at the end of levels.

-The most notable bosses from the games are a group of four powerful enforcers that are tied by a theme/motif. (Four Guardians | Winds of Destruction)

-Said group have members with similar vibes. (The notable one with red swords that's your main rival, the warmonger associated with heat that duel-wields multi-purpose weapons, the only lady who's flirtatious and who's associated with ice and wields pole-arms, and the ninja whose utterly loyal to something)

-One of the main villains is an insane dude that is made of nanomachines that heal and protect his body.

-Both protags find out what they are really fighting for.

- The final boss/bosses in Zero's case are archetypes/tropes we've seen from the previous installment. (Armstrong being similar to Solidus, Omega filling the "Evil Zero" trope, Weil being like an even more evil Wily plus some others, etc)

-I would have said less popular than the previous installment but I'm pretty sure MGRR is more well known/exposed than MGS nowadays so...

Ah... Death Machines being used in mundane and helpful ways, my favorite trope.

If I had a nickle for a series about a technologically regressed race whose aesthetics are based on older time periods, that feature a group of kids discovering an ancient supermachine hidden in the mountains, that they use to fend off a technologically superior invader. With said machines being created during a war torn period that nearly destroyed the world, leading to a worldwide reset that destroyed the past civilization and terraformed the planet, on top of those events being tied to said machines in some form. I would have two nickles, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

This is probably really unhinged, but in Vrahno's Mecha G VS Anguirus fight, there is a split second scene of Mecha G with a drill dick. While this could be a dumb joke, I'm 90% sure it's a Tetsuo: The Iron Man reference as the main character also had a drill dick during his transformation.

Considering how deep the references can get in Vrahno's videos, I wouldn't look past him to make a reference like this.

Also watch Tetsuo the Iron Man, it's sweaty and horny but it's peak.

The dichotomy between the Turn A and Loran is so funny to me because "Hello, I love peace, which is why I will create peace with the Genocider." And he kind of does it.
