Well that escalated quickly.

Father was a Marlian. Uh-oh.

Image is broken and when I try to open it in another tab, it says 403 forbidden. 😧

I probably should have posted this sooner. I meant to. I'm sure nobody expected Vassago to get turned into a fucking tree, or Gabriel to turn into whatever the fuck he turned into, or Kirito to revive via The Power of Friendship and Power of Love, and then use that power up along with the energy from the rest of the people in the Underworld to beat Gabriel. But, just you wait LOL.

I have been in a pirate mood lately since this nostalgia-rific LEGO set came out and I got it for Christmas. I've been going on a pirate movie marathon. I already watched Disney's Peter Pan, Hook, Disney's Treasure Island, Cutthroat Island, and the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies again. I ran into a road block as On Stranger Tides is inexplicably not on Disney Plus. I don't understand why a legacy licensing deal would cause them to take something off that was already on the platform?? I'm sure there are some other pirate movies I could watch too. Lots of good, old ones. But not sure which ones to watch. But I may just get back to One Piece too. Funi still has my place saved. Episode 512. But I still don't know what having super powers has to do with pirates. >_>

I never saw it. I guess I thought it was for some reason lol. Obviously mistakenly.

Episode 15 - So, we are finally diving in to what happened the night Towa and Setsuna were born. Though it seems some was still left out. Seems kind of odd that the method was literally to just have Riku tell the audience. Could be imagination, but did Inuyasha's voice actor change? He sounds different in this episode. A new black pearl was made, interesting. Yep, Rin is their mother. Bleh. I said my piece on this earlier. Moving on. Sesshomaru literally did do the rite of courage and passage thing? So odd. And Rin is ok with it apparently. What was the reason for Jaken to raise the children in Rin's place? And Rin was going to be taken to the barrier too? I guess we don't know everything because it's still not determined how Rin got into the state that she is, or how Towa escaped the fire. It was cool to see Toga in his humanoid form in the anime, even if in brief still shots. Ah, so now we see that Sesshomaru actually saved Inuyasha, Moroha, and Kagome from Kirinmaru. So InuYasha and Kagome have been stuck at Toga's grave this whole time? Does anyone remember if that is a different dimension or just a different location far off somewhere? Does time pass differently there? I sure hope there is some food and stuff there. But man, that sure does suck. They don't get to see their daughter grow up. And why was Moroha taken to some friend of Koga's? Why not Miroku and Sango? Was it to hide her from Kirinmaru like she's a Skywalker baby or something? Also Kirinmaru really needs to get with the program because we all know Inuyasha, Moroha, Setsuna, and Towa are FAR from the only half-demons running around! He's got a lot more work to do if he wants to get rid of all of them. It is confirmed Kirinmaru and Riku are two different people. But I don't know why Kirinmaru's face is being hidden. I think the two are definitely connected somehow though. Maybe Riku is his son? And we now know that green earring Riku wears is a rainbow pearl. Interesting about the comet and that Toga and Kirinmaru destroyed the fragment 500 years ago. But why the hell were their demons inside the piece Sesshomaru and Inuyasha destroyed? Very odd that that demon's name is Zero. I think that is the only Demon that doesn't have a Japanese name in the whole show. I bet she had something to do with the dream butterfly and whatever happened to Rin and Setsuna. Very nice. In the next episode, we will see Moroha's life and backstory.

Forgot to post last week. Episode 14 - We have a new OP. Where the last one felt like a Fairy Tail OP, the new one feels like a Bleach OP to me. The visuals too. And well, I suppose it doesn't help that all the characters have swords. Some interesting possibilities being hinted at in that OP too. Tamano getting all those marriage proposals from creepers. Gross. UGLY BASTARD ALERT! Whoof, kidnapped Tamano and forced her to live with him. This Homura dude is bad news! Riku getting more and more sleazy and suspicious lol. Well, I am just glad he didn't do anything to Tamano. I don't know why he kept suggesting she go back to Homura though. But I'm glad she didn't listen. Riku kept saying how he didn't understand the love affairs of humans. But then why did Riku say before he only kills the ones he loves, and wants to kill the half-demon princesses? At one point Riku says the thing about not understanding human love affairs out loud to Tamano. Is he not even trying to hide the fact that he's a demon? Or is that not even meant to be a secret? Is it just his power and motives that he's hiding? And Riku said it ended badly for Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's father, as well as Sesshomaru, loving humans. Why did Towa and Moroha not bring warmer clothes to the snowy mountain?! But Setsuna didn't seem to be affected at all. Again I will say I am surprised that someone actually burned down the forest, and it wasn't natural. Some beautiful female demon ordered Homura to do this. And Sesshomaru was there and was fine with it?! Just what the hell is going on here. Is it possible there was a shape-shifter involved that disguised himself as Sesshomaru for some of these moments? Something here is not what it seems. I did not expect Homura to go mad and burn himself up. It doesn't look like the three girls would have been able to defeat him, though. This guy seemed a lot stronger than any of those Four Perils. Towa was LIVID though. I'm glad Setsuna checked later to see that she was okay. It is confirmed that is the fire-rat robe that Moroha has. And it's still fire proof! Snowball Moroha was cute and hilarious! Moroha is is in debt because of some master? What? Towa giving up her phone. Besides the fact she can't contact anyone or get on the internet, it is bound to run out of battery eventually. She should hold on to it for when she goes back to the modern world, though, at least. She did promise that to Mei. Even if is just for a visit. But yeah, no point in carrying it around everywhere. We got a sad ED like some of them back in the old days. Uh-oh. Next ep preview. We will be learning more answers, it looks like. Just after Towa and Setsuna were born, there was an incoming meteor? I can't say I saw that one coming. Looks like Sesshomaru was after that pearl in InuYasha's eye again. And yep, it is probably going to be confirmed that Rin is indeed the mother of Towa and Setsuna. Bleh. Very Woody Allen-like. It's just... ugh. There was no new dubbed episode. The dubbing team must have had time off for the holidays.

Very odd. Any idea why that would be the case? Both series are popular.

Steve Blum called on for a creature voice again heh.

Those words cut me right to my core lmao.

"In case you need help, I'm leaving you this box." LOL might want to clarify what's IN the box, Tanjiro!

Speaking of which, I wonder when Black Clover is coming back. It would be awesome if it was the replacement for one of the shows ending. We don't know what the replacement for SAO is do we?

Uhh...

Was it ever explained how the crow can talk anyways? lol

Yeah it sure would. And like I said before... with the likely inevitable second season... if Toonami doesn't show the movie it's going to be an issue since it oddly covers manga content.

Tanjiro can understand the sparrow lmao.

The sparrow haha. Lol never said anything about getting married. Sneering at him. LOL those looks on Tanjiro's face.

But will Demarco be able to get it or will he FAIL us?

I'm glad Naruto put him in his place when he tried to play for sympathy lol. Jackass.

Heh, in retrospect, this girl looks a bit like Mimosa.

Oh ok. Oh, that's kind of sad. So this guy was a random guy with no backstory or explanation in the manga?

Was that really by John Carpenter? How did Demarco manage that?

So cheap lol.
