Jiren looks like a wide boi Super Buu without his head tentacle now lmao.

Thanks, I appreciate that.

Was this Titan effect for Goku's voice in the Japanese version? Not sure how I feel about it.

Yeah I remember listening to a wrestling podcast and some fan/friend of the show was complaining about turning 33 or 35 or something. And one of the hosts was like - "Do you feel okay? Then who cares? Did you think were going to be 22 forever?" Gotta say I agree with that sentiment. And thanks.

So, since there was only one new episode tonight, and I got home like 5 minutes after it already started and had to do other things so I couldn't just jump in and catch up on DVR during the commercial, and given recent events, I thought I might just stay off the boards entirely until next week. But then I remembered that the Fairy Tail finale was tonight too, and I wasn't going to wait a week to talk about that. And maybe it would be better for me to try to have some fun than just stew here by myself tonight, and talk about what happened now instead of waiting a week. Anyway, last Sunday, my whole family was driving to celebrate my grandma's birthday at a Mexican restaurant. Me, my grandma, my Aunt in one car, a mini-van, the rest of us were in other cars. My oldest cousin and her boyfriend, my middle cousin and his girlfriend, my youngest cousin/their little sister (she's 19 and in college now and I feel old), their mom/my other Aunt, her husband/their dad, were all there. My mom and her husband weren't there because the dog they just got from a shelter had kennel cough they were in quarantine so as not to infect the family's other dogs. We get to a traffic light and I notice my aunt is slumped over in her chair. Front passenger and I'm sitting behind her. I ask her what she's doing and then my grandma tries to wake her but she doesn't respond. My grandma blared on the horn and waved to try to get people to move. I called my other Aunt in the car behind us to tell her what happened, and my youngest cousin in the back of the car in front recognized what was happening. We were able to get out of the light and pulled off to a parking lot and called 9-11. At first we thought it was a diabetic coma, as has happened before to her, and tried to get her sugar, then we realized she wasn't breathing. My oldest cousin's boyfriend was able to get her out of the car and performed CPR until the ambulance got there and they worked on her. The EMS said she has a heartbeat and pulse back when they left. At the hospital we were told she had arrived clinically dead, but they brought her back, and she was cooled down and put into a medically induced coma to preserve the brain and other organs. All the top doctors and teams from many departments were working on her. Unfortunately as they started warming her up, and during a routine moving, as is done to prevent bed sores, she went into cardiac arrest. They brought her back and we rushed up there Tuesday morning as it was happening. Then it happened a few more times and we were advised that a revival shouldn't be attempted again, as her heart was simply giving out, and her brain had been without oxygen for too long. The neurologist team told us the damage was pretty much 0% chance of recovery. So, we lost her later that day on Tuesday as her pulse got weaker until nothing. She was only 57 and had many health issues, including diabetes, congestive heart failure, asthma. Several months ago she was simply standing in the kitchen and turned, and popped her Achilles tendon. She was deemed a bad candidate for surgery and had to get a boot and was having a permanent device made. She recently had corrective surgery for the blood vessels growing in her eyes due to diabetes, when the doctor nicked a blood vessel going in with the numbing needle and made it look like she had a black eye. My aunt definitely did not deserve these particular cards she was dealt with in life, but she was a stubborn fighter and did her best to take care of herself, going to multiple doctor's visits a week and sometimes a day. I didn't have many positive or even present male influences in my life, but my 2 aunts, my grandma, helped raise me. And I moved out from my mom and with my aunt as a teenager as I did not get along with her new boyfriend at all (no one does,) and I was having a lot of issues at school with peers, and my bi-polar disorder (undiagnosed until then) and Asperger's (diagnosed in 1st grade but fell through the cracks.) So I've lived with her since then and we basically took care of each other. My grandma also moved in with us after she had a heart attack and we told her she couldn't live in that podunk shitty town so far from a hospital. My brother, 2 and a half years younger than me, also lived with my Aunt and I as he moved out from my mom later, until he went to college. He lives in Rhode Island now and his wife have a 1+ year old boy and another boy on the way. So we were close and grew closer over the years. We watched wrestling PPVs together, Star Trek, went to movies like superheros, Star Wars, etc, watched American Pickers, Antiques Roadshow, etc. A funny thing, I have wanted cats for the longest time, since I loved them since I was a kid and we had a couple outside cats over the years. Finally I had the opportunity to take in 2 of the kittens my other Aunt's cat had, a big black fluffy one I called Justin, and a Siamese I called Julia. I actually kinda sorta named them after 17 and 18, since DBZ fans on the old early 2000s fan sites called them Jounango and Jouhachigo and , and so I thought maybe their original human names could have been Justin and Julia, with the whole J thing, and going off that. I know, classic Ben Logic. And well my cats were siblings and the Siamese has ice blue eyes like the Androids. Hey, I'm on-topic! Anyway, they were both supposed to be MINE. But Julia "defected" to my Aunt, and basically became her cat, even though she loves me too, of course. My aunt didn't even want cats, since she swore she was allergic (which is why we never had any here,) and now she had one that was so beloved lol. That cat was actually very dependent and attached, so I am worried about her. She even saved my Aunt's life before when she wouldn't stop meowing and I got up to check and I found my Aunt passed out from a diabetic coma. So yeah myself and the whole family misses her greatly. It's all happened so fast I can't even process it right now. My mind doesn't want to accept that she's gone, and I keep doing and thinking of things and forgetting that she really is gone. We were making more plans for the funeral over dinner tonight, which is why I was late. The funeral is Friday. Not sure how I am going to feel then. What is worse is she didn't have life insurance as no company would give it to her due to her health issues. So we are scrambling to come up with the money. Going to try to sell 3 old cars, borrowing money, trying to use her retirement, trying to get financial assistance. And everything has been a nonstop bullshit fest with broken promises of people claiming to cut deals or volunteer services and then reneging, and ramming our heads against a wall. We even set up a GoFundMe, which we only asked for half, about $2500 (looks like it's going to cost closer to 6k though) and we have around 1000 on that now at least. It really has been a whirlwind and a rough week. At least all the family was together when it happened and we are working together, though.

Ep 328 - 100 year quest... so it's NOT over? So... there is actually a Fairy Tail manga called 100 Year Quest currently being released. How is Mashima working on two mangas at the same time? Well, it says he releases it every other week, with the help of others, but still. But, the main story clearly ended but it's still going?? Anybody know if this manga is good? Well, it is the end of an era. I made a dumb mistake by not jumping on Fairy Tail as soon as I could, in the vain hope Toonami might finally air it. Lesson learned. But I'm glad I was at least able to watch and discuss most of Final Season live. I loved the show and think the last arc and ending was pretty good, despite some issues I have with it, and some truly unfortunate animation. Don't know if I can say I like it more than Rave Master, but I love both for Mashima's trademark charm and style and how fun, adventurous, heartwarming, and uplifting everything is. It doesn't hurt that Mashima is pretty damn good with representation, and the utilization of the women, too. I definitely put Fairy Tail as one of my all time favorite series. That said, there is still a decent chunk of Fairy Tail to chow down on! I can watch the OVAs and movies now. And there is the new video game coming out, and 100 Year Quest!

It seems more like Grand Minister is the real power, since the Zenos are so stupid and Minister basically runs everything. But how do we know Zeno can't fight? He wiped out an entire universe!

I'm late because I was out with family eating a Thai restaurant, and then... Japanese snow milk? And another reason, but I'll get into that in a bit. For now, here are my thoughts on tonight's [NEW] Super episode - Super - Good ole Motel 6. "We'll leave the light on for ya." And that girl band is cute. Now THIS is a fight. Some unique, interesting and creative techniques and fight choreography here. Good stuff. So, Goku had to go to all these ridiculous lengths and forms to get to this level... but Jiren is just being Jiren? Really? And not only that, Goku is using a super-zen-like state (like seriously this is basic martial arts shit guys) non-Saiyan-specific technique. And powered up from his normal state. No Super Saiyan involved here. But Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Blue used God energy? But this form is not an upgrade to either or in any way related?? The more you talk and the more Goku is a silent badass, the more you look like a loser, Jiren. Soooooo did Jiren just break through to a new level due to the emotions of the situation, like a Super Saiyan, or was he STILL holding back? If it's the latter, then LOL. JIREN MILLION TIMES KAIO-KEN!!!! Eehhhhh still not so sure about Cadence of Hyrule. Not a big fan of rhythm games either, Tom. I dunno. But my completionist self is in conflict with my rythm game hating self. MUST PLAY ALL ZELDAS. BUT IS RYTHM GAME! MUST NOT PLAY! BUT MUST! RRZZZZZTT* He didn't bounce back every time, Krillin. Goku has lost plenty of fights. And he died to Raditz, and couldn't beat Cell or Buu. DO YOU EVEN WATCH YOUR OWN SHOW, KRILLIN?! Goku fights for all of us? Oh so you finally got Goku's character right, Toei? Nice heartwarming nostalgic montage. UUHHH FRIEZA doesn't belong there. He was not "converted to the nakama." Okay now you crossed a line, Jiren. Trying to blow up the stands (and I don't think there was a rule agaisnt that.) Get em, Goku! So now the God Energy is fucking Goku up? Why was this not hinted at at all before now? And was Goku about to give Jiren some energy to keep fighting?! Fuck off Jiren. It's Frieza! Haha 17 is still alive. Can't say I would have ever predicted 17 and Frieza teaming up back in the old Z days. 17 should just blindsided Jiren and kicked him out of the ring lmao.

It was different guys fighting Hidan and Kakuzu. But the one guy looked kind of similar to this guy. That guy WAS part of the group that fought the Sound Four though. And the guy with the face scar/deformity was on tonight too lol. According to Naruto wiki his name is Genma Shiranui. Don't remember this ever being said lol.

Was he one of the guys who got beat off-screen by Orichimaru's henchmen? It was done presumably to keep their curse mark forms a surprise, but also left those two ninjas abilities as a surprise. And then I think we finally saw those two guys fight against Hidan and Kakuzu, but was this guy one of them?

That was also written off as the core of Namek being denser than Frieza was used to, and then Goku said it was really because Frieza was a coward and held back on his blast so he wouldn't get blown up with the planet. In this tournament, it was maybe believable when there were a lot of fighters in it, and we could be seeing lots of fights going on at the same time. But seeing just the same group of fighters for so long here at the end... no lol. I don't know why they even did the stupid time limit thing anyway.

Of course you can. https://www.skilledsurvival.com/starting-fire-with-sticks/ And you obviously never saw Survivorman.
