Subpages cleanup: Complete Monster

Himiko

to Tau Zant and Lady Himiko.

Eh, screw it, I'll do it with this week's:

• In the novel adaptation by Toshiki Inoue, Takeshi Asakura is even more depraved than his original counterpart. Killing his mother when he was still an infant, Asakura graduated into a Serial Killer by the age of six, killing two other children specifically on their birthdays and two counselors. Living in a homeless colony where he was idolized by the people, Asakura repeatedly stabbed the village's elder in the head and committed a killing spree targeting those who loved him, mutilating a man even after the latter had hugged him. While hiding, Asakura attacked a group of children with an ax and hung the bodies of five police officers from tree branches. Arrested for killing countless victims, two of which were Miho's parents, Asakura accepted the offer of becoming a Contractor merely because it gave him an opportunity to torment people without having to worry about consequences, going as far as to remove Raia's intestines. Destroying lives simply because everything smelled horrible to him, Asakura was a heartless savage who wished to fight for eternity.

It'll be at the end of the tree I assume?

What happens to Novel!Asakura, anyway?

Just finished watching the 1997 version of Berserk. Out of curiosity, does Griffith/Femto count in both this and manga version or only the latter? Mostly, he has a similar laundry list of crimes but I'm not sure whether or not he was played more sympathetic in this one, given that the friendship of Griffith and Guts is one of the most central themes in the Golden Age arc. Also, as the series end rather abruptly, there is nothing to indicate that Casca was pregnant etc, meaning that Griffith's crimes cut short after the Eclipse goes down. And no, I haven't read the manga yet although I have planned to do so. Given that Wyald and Ganishka don't even exist in the anime, I'd assume that the YMMV page mostly concentrates on the manga version when it comes to C Ms.

The 1997 version and movies version count Griffith as a CM yes. It was the actual rape of Casca and sacrifice in the Eclipse that made him count, everything else was just the icing on the cake.

Well, that was his MEH-crossing anyway. It looks like he did quite a bit more (I'm pretty sure that one rape, no matter how awful, wouldn't be enough in the world of Berserk).

In the 1997 anime and movies there's none of the other C Ms though, so I think the Eclipse would have been just enough to grant him onto the list as the heinous standard would be slightly lowered. Lighty would probably have a better answer though.

@ACW Yup, end of the tree. It's the same as in the show, things here are just edgier for the sake of edginess.

I mean, yeah. The manga is the primary source. We're not going to differentiate for adaptations.

Asakura, Ryogaku, Zant and Himiko

to previous candidates.

Any more votes for Ryogaku?

Ryogaku

s Vile's Joker writeup on the drafts page? I asked him to put it there so I could edit it down.

It was there; I didn't know you were gonna just edit that down. You're in there now, so I'll put it here:

• Initially emerging from the shadows as mysterious "Red Hood One", he recruit members in to his "Red Hood Gang" by blackmailing and threatening families and friends of middle and upper classes individuals from Gotham. Using his gang to promote his philosophy of randomness of life and pointlessness of existence, Joker spreads chaos and anarchy around Gotham by robbing banks and killing people left and right. When Batman starts foiling his schemes, "Red Hood One" begins to brutally murdering members of his gang who failed to stop him. Planning to create new radioactive, flesh-eating poison and explode it at different locations around Gotham, "Red Hood One" takes over Ace Chemical Processing Plant only to be foiled by Batman and Gotham Police and as a result of gunfight falling in to toxic chemicals and transforming in to the Joker. As Joker, he continues to spread chaos over Gotham and later starting killing spree of comedians and conflict with Riddler, which resulted in numerous civilian casualties, because he find himself unable to laugh for a time, which was caused by his inability to defeat Batman. During the time of his carrier Joker crippled Barbara Gordon and kill Jason Todd (Second Robin) just to hurt Batman. After being absent for over a year, Joker makes his return by attacking the Gotham City Police Department to retrieve the face he had cut off, murdering nineteen police officers and Mayor Hady's police guards. Reenacting his old crimes, the Joker poisons many people and blows up the Gotham reservoir. Hunting down the whole Bat-Family and trapping them in the Batcave, Joker leaves them soaked in gasoline while he forces Batman to watch as he attempts to set them ablaze before Batman stops him and cause him to fall down the waterfall. Surviving the fall, Joker decided to finally kill Batman for real. Discovering the Lazarus Pits, he uses it to regenerate his face and create new form of "Joker Venom" and infects the entire Justice League with it, making them extremely aggressive and have them attack Batman as a distraction, which he uses to infect the whole Gotham with the same virus, "jokerizing" most of its citizens. Joker plans to burn down the entire city as Batman tries to stop him, which resulted in them mortally wounding each other during a fight to the death and seemingly dying in the depth of Gotham’s underground.

Holy hell that's much better. Worth potholing to the individual storylines or nah?

That's still quite large. I think it's meant to be 300 to 350 words at maximum. Then again, maybe that is just enough, I'm never good with word counts.

Edited by ReynTime250 on Jul 16th 2018 at 11:29:48 AM

I have a Firefox add-on; it's under 250. Large, but considering it's freaking JOKER...

Here's a rough entry, with storylines potholed (someone please make sure they're accurate):

• The Joker initially emerges from the shadows as the mysterious "Red Hood One", where he recruit members in to his "Red Hood Gang" by blackmailing and threatening families and friends of middle and upper classes individuals from Gotham.

Tau Zant, Himiko.

And now...

• Night Fire: Rafael Drake is a beloved philanthropist who secretly plots to remake the would into a corporatist dystopia answerable to himself. The CEO of the environmentally-friendly corporation Phoenix International, Drake poses as a respected anti-nuclear weapons activist who uses his company's wealth and resources to decommission nukes; in reality, he takes these weapons for himself to be used in a private arsenal against anyone who resits his takeover. Key to his plan is a new space weapons platform developed by the US, and James Bond is put on Drake's case after it is discovered he has stolen the weapons guidance chip for the satellite. When one of his subordinates tries to turn informant for MI 6, he orders not just the man's death, but those of his innocent household servants as well; he later murders his mistress by defenestration, and forces Bond to watch, after she is exposed as a deep-cover French agent. As his plan commences, he rockets into space to commandeer the weapons platform personally; it and his private arsenal giving him enough power to wipe any dissenters off the face of the Earth.

Last call for votes on Mestema.

to Himiko

Everyone seems to have approved of Princess Spring Heart/Chrysalis, so should I write a post for her? Or any objections?

Zau Zant.
