New chapter is out!

[nekodatta]

We're getting Rika and Poppy in Masters before our boy Arven, that MUST mean they are plotting something big with him right? RIGHT??

There's no way they don't put him in at all, he was voted best character in 2022, he's extremely popular... And I'm wondering if they are going to release him together with Sada and Turo (the human ones, pulled from a timeline right before they die... We already have alternate timeline Lysandre and Rose so really anything goes), maybe with a little story event connected to him.

And that puts him in an interesting position, because he will have to come from either the Scarlet or Violet timeline.... They gave Nemona the Scarlet uniform and most media shows Arven in the Violet uniform, so it could be interesting to have Nemona reference events from a Scarlet timeline (if she comes from post game like most characters seem to do) while Arven is getting confused because "What do you mean my MOM??? I??? Don't even know who she is???"

However it happens, he's basically going to have ANGST with one of the professors while going "And who the fuck are YOU?" to the other.... While BOTH professors will come from "their" timeline where they had him as a son and didn't leave.

So much potential ANGST please Masters do iiiit

Also I hope they give him the "Complicated family" theme skill because it would be darkly hilarious.

(My copium dream is the three of them get a unique theme skill called something like "Paradoxical family" since they literally can't exist as all three together in the same timeline)

(Also they could have the AI Profs too.... Which makes it a bit sad for them, they wanted their big adventure in the past/future but Hoopa said nooope you are coming to Pasio now!)

I want my banging awesome AI prof music remix

The message that Akira Toriyama left for his kids in Chrono Trigger

[nekodatta]

Just woke up to the news of Akira Toriyama's death.

I don't know what to say.

Dragon Ball was huge for my generation. It was more often than not, the first anime you had watched on tv before even knowing what anime was.

His was the very first manga I ever technically read, borrowing a volume from a classmate in elementary school, again, before I even really knew what manga was. I remember being so intrigued and a bit confused by the fact it was read from right to left!

Growing up I kept seeing traces of him everywhere. Dr. Slump, the goofy anime about Arale? Toriyama's work.

"Hey, look at this video game, it's called Dragon Quest, the characters were all drawn by Akira Toriyama, it looks so cool! And wow, the Dragon Quest series was the first true JRPG game!!"

And would you know, the fact that they had to make something iconic enough to surpass a game with character art made by THE Akira Toriyama, among other things,drew a little company called Square led by Hironobu Sakaguchi to make a little game called Final Fantasy.

Two of the biggest founding pillars of the JRPG genre as a whole where influenced by him in some way.

Then we have Chrono Trigger, another game that influenced me enormously, again with character art by him.

Directly and indirectly, he shaped and inspired millions, be it through his art or his stories.

Entire generations of children had their first experience of the "enemy becomes an ally and friend to the hero" trope first with Piccolo and then with Vegeta.

It sure was with me. If there were others before that I saw, it wasn't as impactful.

Seeing things first in Dragon Ball made me curious about them in real life, like all the references to Journey to the west and little details of his weird, charming worldbuilding that combined a world with sci-fi and cutting edge technology with dinosaurs, dragons and other typically fantasy monsters running around.

I was rereading the saga a couple of years ago and realised that so many things he put in during Dragon Ball's first publication during the 80's would be things that didn't even exist at the time.

Every scene of Bulma having a video call with her father would have been pure sci-fi at the time.

(I still wish that capsule technology was real...)

Creators and storytellers everywhere were inspired by him, in all kinds of genres even outside of manga and anime.

Rest in peace Toriyama.

if someone who has never seen sanremo asked me what it is about i'd say it is a gay love story between two old men happening in front of their children, wives, and millions of people told as a musical with 30 songs sung by various singers. it lasts 5 days 6 hours per night. mahmood is there too.
