Well alright, I can't wait for his portrayal of the King. [tup]

Also I'm gonna tune out here, partly because I have not much interest in this arc aside from seeing Sasuke get the shit beaten outta him & partly because I recently read some Naruto doujins & now I'm uncomfortable with looking at the characters now.

Huh, this Danzo guy seems like he's on the ball. At least he has the good sense to throw out the Sauce after it goes rancid.

[up]I understand completely.

But yeah, I'd say if you want to get a feel for Max Mittelman's range and how he may voice the ant king, I'd say look him up as Ritsu in Mob Psycho 100 and Io in Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt.

@LSBK. They are actual issues that Killua has. Killua realizing they are a problem and working to remove them are the only reason he He realizes the Needle is keeping him from moving on from it. Like after partially getting over the issue he realizes that something is physically keeping him from making the next step. It was part of the problem but not the whole one.

@ slim: Yeah, I'm with Rojixus here. Sounds like you could use the extra sleep.

@ Rojixus: It really says something that, as bad as Danzo is (you'll see soon enough), he turns out to be the lesser of two evils between himself and Sasuke.

@ Lionheart: Oh man, I almost forgot about Thunderbolt. That's right up there with IBO in terms of sucking the happiness right out of you. sad

Its like I don't wanna read Naruto doujins especially since a lot of the guy's stuff involves Sakura & (groans uncomfortably) Sarada but I like his art so my hands are tied.

End result, an immense feeling of shame. I think this counts as a guilty pleasure.

[up] I do stay up late a lot so I could use the sleep.

Those who sow the wind reap the whirlwind. Sasuke is just one of the monsters that Danzo created out of his own paranoia, and it is fitting that he's come to kill Danzo for what he did.

Please tell me the doujin is at least well drawn and consensual.

For the love of god, your beloved teammate betrayed you and tired to kill you last time, why are you surprised by this?

Are we supposed to not want Sasuke to get killed? Or are we supposed to think Naruto and Sakura are just deluded?

[up][up][up] Uhhhhhhhhhhhh........... Naruto's in it.

Also doujin"s", this guy has been working for a long time. I think its well-drawn though.

And going by your reactions yes they are clearly delusional but Kishi doesn't want us to think that cause Protagonist Centered Morality.

[up][up]Well, if this were a better written series, I guess Naruto would want to kill Sasuke himself if it came down to it out of respect for their rivalry, but of course this is written by Kishimoto, so your guess is good as mine.

Naruto's in it
...oh.

@ Rojixus: Considering how nearly everyone else reacts to Sasuke, I'd say the latter.

Though Sasuke getting NTR'd is a darkly fucked up amusing thought.

@ Rynnec: The funny thing is that her VA (Danielle Nicolet) isn't even a regular in anime. Or general voice acting for that matter IIRC. The only things from recent years I can recall her lending her voice to are the X-Men anime (as Storm) and Mortal Kombat X (as Jacqui and Sareena).

Welp, it's probably best if I get a move on and turn it in for the night. Later, everyone.

She was also Shaundi in the later Saints Row games and Captain Marvel in several Marvel games (in addition to Storm). Naruto's dub has a knack for attracting actors that usually only do pre-lay and other western voice work.

That the weird thing, I don't think they did.

Back in the first season we see him more as a Chessmaster partly because we only know his endgame, "Reform Gjallarhorn", and only see a vague look at his plan to do so. Come this season we learn of his true motivation, "Muh Bael", and it does leave something to be desired, however it does put his previous actions in a new light. He was always a moron, or at least short-sighted as Orga.

His actions in regards to death of Carta and his attempted murder of Gaelio (we can probably throw Ein in there as well) were unnecessary, especially since he already had both of them on his side. Gaelio would have followed him anywhere and genuinely did want to see reform, he also would have inherited his father's seat due to how Gjallarhorn worked. Carta was in love with McGillis and held a prestigious place in Gjallarhorn which Chocolate Man could have gotten had he married her instead of Almiria. Iznario was an obstacle, but he could have been taken down the same way getting McGillis his place. At the end of the day whether or not he realizes it McGillis choose the worst path to his goal, but he still intentionally sacrificed those close to him without need. McGillis didn't just offer Orga the deal as King of Mars just to string him along, he probably fully believed it as well.

On Orga, it's pretty much spelled out why the current situation happened and it's kinda shows why losing Biscuit was a big blow. Not having someone to step up to him and having two toxic influences (Mikazuki and McGillis), it's understandable why things are going belly up. Stucks because he could have created a place for them and that bastard Rustal is on the verge of winning.

Sorry for the rant and for any misspelling.

Is Mikazuki really an influence on Orga? It always looked the other way around to me.
