Reborn Vongolia x Tsunayoshi Sawada

Rant by RPGHero

Are you noticing a trend? RPGHero is starting to rant more and more often. What does this have to do with reviews? Nothing.

As you all do not know. I gave up watching new anime and almost all forms of anime for roughly 50 days as part of some religious tradition. Apparently I thought anime was such a great influence on my life that giving it up would be comparable to walking in a desert. Well one thing is right, anime is a great influence. One thing this taught me is that I'll never give up being an otaku, ever! Another thing is that maybe next time around I'll give up something like chocolate haha.

But seriously anime is the BEST. I do allow myself to listen to music when I'm home and I've been listening to Easy Go.


This is so awesome, it's making me miss watching Reborn. I'm not watching the video I put above but I remember the part where Tetsuya Kusakabe is just running hard with Lambo and I-pin in his backpack, awesome (diesel). That is what anime is about just running through obstacles with no abandon for enemies and protecting the people we care about. That is what makes anime awesome. The courage of Japan is portrayed in the art of anime.

I thought I could be more like that if I gave it up but that's not the way. I might miss the themes of anime more. The truth is that I was always like that, even when I was watching anime and even when I'm not. That's what people need to know, if you want to be something, you're already it. Nobody can tell you you're not your best, you're already your best. Just REALIZE.

Otaku Helping Others! Part Eight!

Today's "Otaku Helping Others" post is about:

Friendly Fighting!!!

I've noticed in anime and manga something that seems alittle bit wierd to me.

"Oh they get along well enough to fight", That's what you usually hear when two main characters and allies get into arguments and fights over who's better or cooler.

You might have wondered that yourself as an anime fan....

What does this mean?

I'll explain through my expert knowledge:

When two main characters usually guys fight and argue, though they're fighting pretty hard they're not fighting for any reason or goal. They might say they want to see who's stronger but they don't want to prove anything in the end. They just enjoy each other's company enough to express it in fighting.

This is different from a rival!!

Two rivals fight because the sole purpose is best each other. That is the ONLY purpose of a rivalry. 

Sasuke and Naruto became rivals but their relationship has become different from a rival, in appearances.

What is different from a rival?

An evil fluffer-sucker who just wants to advance some evil goal or evil desire. Keyword: Evil

Well that's a spoiler but here...

Evil fluffer-sucker -------------------------------->

Krillin is one tough man to fight Frieza.
Frieza is evil... That's where Goku comes in and becomes Super Saiyan, blonde hair, high power... But that's not the goal of this post.

Back to my spiel... When two friends fight for no reason or just argue with each other, they have no real goal in it. They're just passing time...

It's harder in real life to tell this and easy at the same time.

If your friends lightheartedly joke with you (about you) or you might have random fights that's not so bad as long as it doesn't progress to RIVALRY or EVIL FLUFFER-SUCKER.

So enjoy the lighthearted jokes and random punches with friends... As long as your returning them!

And not all friends have to fight, if you're properly watching....

This is RPGHero signing out!

♪ Rainy day Rainy Day  ♪
(Also the 7th Ending Theme of the Anime Television Show "Katekyoshi Hitman REBORN")



I jump out of the usual exit
And go with the flow as people come and go
Everyday, everyday
A faint light shines through the clouds
Look up at the town sky as the rain clears
Rainyday, rainyday

Restless day by day & night
The rain stops and I dodge cars
I’m on the run to where you are
Chasing traces of a rainbow, groovin’
Time goes by (Oh my!) I embrace these thoughts
Oh let, don’t let me down, gonna let go
Sorry to keep you waiting

A thought floats from the palm of your hand into the sky
I’ll hold onto this tiny bit of courage and race toward tomorrow

*I say yes!! No matter how much time passes
The thing you gave me after we met
Is just one step away!! I’ll protect you
And the love that will make our future come true should be there

Every sunny day we’d meet at the same sidewalk cafe
And the casual sky was almost like our
Everyday, everyday
The petals falling down from the sky
Makes us feel the changing of the seasons
Rainyday, rainyday

We pass each other by on the days & weekend
That’s why I want to be with you more
Through the night until dawn
Traces of rain, our world
Will shine and create a dream

Oh let, don’t let me down, gonna let go
Why don’t you close your eyes for me

The thoughts I wanted to tell you aren’t just words
I’ll hold your small hand and always be at your side

**I say yes!! No matter how much time passes
The smile of yours that I met
Is just one step away!! I won’t go astray
And make my dreams come true with an open heart

This time is never gonna stop!
This moment races forward
This time is never gonna stop!
Your love song won’t stop
Don’t step on the brake

(Repeat*)
(Repeat**)

OH AND WATCH "REBORN"

RPGHero's Random PowerUP!

Heya here's RPGHero with a new segment. I'm going to tell you all about a PowerUp I've encountered in anime, video games, pop culture, reality, etc. The key is that it's a PowerUP and can either increase someone's power or change them into something more badass!

Today's random PowerUP is the "Ju Nen Bazooka" or translated to "The Ten Year Bazooka"


The ten year bazooka is an item carried by this little guy


His name is Lambo and he is from the anime "Katekyoushi Hitman Reborn" or "Hitman Home Tutor Reborn".

The ten year bazooka is a item that was created by Lambo's mafia famiglia, the Bovino family. Anyone can fit inside the bazooka and once inisde the bazooka it transports that person ten years into the future. The intriguing thing about this item is that it covers a serious aspect of time travel, what entity replaces the time traveler in the present time. Well when the present self is transported ten years into the future the future self from that time is brought to the past. One interesting aspect is that once the bazooka is used the future self is transported doing whatever they were doing in the future.

(SPOILER ALERT)
This item is useful in the "Reborn" world because it's a world of fighting and dueling. Lambo, though he's five, is chosen to be a guardian of the Vongolia famiglia. His first serious use of the item was to bring his future self back to the present in order to fight against the adult he must duel to claim the role of guardian. So once he was summoned at 15
 
he wasn't strong enough and ran back into the bazooka to be summoned at the age of 25.

And by then he was definitely tough enough to beat that guy but one important thing about the ten year bazooka is that the time travel can only be sustained for five minutes.

He had to fight this guy who's an assasin

And I'll go on a tangeant to say that he is black.
Why can't they be the good guys??
Enough of that tangeant... You might be watching something new but like this one day with black main characters.. just a hint from ya informer RPGHero (it's still in the developing stages though).

I guess if I was one year older than Lambo and had a Ju Nen Bazooka I'd be mad set. Because I was tough at 16 and I'm banking on 26 to be a stronger year... And I'll keep my mod's to one sentence at the end of these posts. You're welcome!

Check out how it works lol.

He's really not the same kid who loves cake anymore... (SPOILER)

What I'm Watching These Days

Translation:
My name's Sawada Tsunayoshi also known as good for nothing Tsuna. Until a baby named Reborn appeared. I'm going to be a Mafia boss? Hitman Tutor Reborn starts soon!

Thoughts and Summary:
To be honest I couldn't get into this show when it first came out. The prospect of a baby teaching a teenager how to be a mafia boss seemed too imaginative even for me. But Chansu kept watching it and when he got up to episode one hundred and so he told me I had to watch it, so here I am. It's pretty good once you get used to the story. Tsuna was the kid in the class that everyone looked down on. He's skinny and he's pretty weak plus he fails math frequently. Until he finds out that a baby named Reborn is going to train him to be a mafia boss. With this mysterious baby's magic bullets (literally) Tsuna is given powers and shown how to unlock his own powers by using his maximum potential. But Tsuna still has to get over his old thoughts about being useless and powerless or he can't survive in such a world... Along with his new powers he's coaxed by Reborn to make friends and even befriend the girl he's had a crush on. But with all his new power and status comes the real mafia bosses who are looking for trouble...
