Ishida keeps gambling that no one actually asks why the shitte actually means. Like, what laws are they working with.

[Assistant]
>>136689542
Well by that metric, resolving Tomoe's relationship by leading it into Senso would be fine, because its modified enough elements to be distinct from Usagi's failed relationship with Princess Kinuko:
- Princess Kinuko was Usagi's social superior, Tomoe is Usagi's social equal (arguably Usagi has seniority over her)
- Usagi and the princess were both young and it was a very spur-of-the-moment romance, Usagi and Tomoe have a lot more history together
- Usagi and the princess were both oathsworn to clan Mifune, Usagi (as of now) is still a ronin

I like the numbers of the attempt #3.

[Assistant]
>>136690608
Those RPG numbers seem to fit, at least at first glance. Hell, even Jotaro would be 8 during the "Travels with Jotaro" arc, which seems just right. But there is one problem.
When Usagi went to train with Katsuichi, he was still a kid, barely older than Jotaro. There is no way he was older than 12. Probably even younger. And he spent 4 years with him. But according to the RPG dates, Usagi was 19 when he won the tournament and entered Mifune's service.
If my quick research is correct, in Usagi's times 15 years old samurai were expected to partake in battles. So Usagi should enter Mifune's service when he was 16 OR YOUNGER. Which means he "made" Jotaro when him and Mariko were 15/16 (which is normal, at least for feudal Japan). This would make Usagi 21 when he debuts (Jotaro would be 5), 24 during "Grasscutter", 25 during "Travels with Jotaro" (Jotaro would be 9) and 27+ in the current stories. I actually like this timeline a lot.
Of course, this may just be a clusterfuck caused by Sakai not paying enough attention to the numbers when he started the comic (which he couldn't predict to last this long) and now ignoring that faulty timeline just as he ignores Hikiji's genus.

The rafters get a SCOBY (Symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) layer and i think it drips into the vats helping with the fermentation of the onions sauce. Cedar as a wood is moderately anti-microbial so in theory the scoby keeps adding the good micro organisms while the cedar makes it harder for the ones the spoil the onions sauce from forming. Things like soil and what not effect the flavor of your products as well, for example the lithium in the soil apparently gives champagne its unique flavors.

Usagi's political compass points towards honour.

So when he encounters a servant of the Shogun like Ishida, who honourably pursues justice, he assists. When he encounters at Metsuke who is spying? He hinders.

When he encounters a consipiracy that will plunge the country into war? He aids the shogunate, as the lords are dishonourable, breaking their vows of fealty.

When he encounters the Grasscutter, he conceals it from the shogunate and opposing lords alike because it would be dishonourable to allow a divine gift to become a tool of politics.

I still love the giant snake Kimono. I can kind of imagine Hebi is a snake demon who became the majordomo for Hikiji so he could have a tailor on staff. And the other snakes (I'm pretty sure we've seen giant snake demons previously) think he's weird.

"Hebi, why are you wrapping yourself in that useless human skin?"

"It's not their skin! It's clothes, and they're great"

"Hebi have you been hit in the head? What's so great about it?"

"Are you kidding? You know that feeling you get when you shed, just before the old skin peels off completely? It's like that, but softer and more comfortable!"

"Whatever, freak."

Update on the meme compass, now with promised character "icons" so you can make your own oc donut steel objectively correct compass. Obviously this is not an exhaustive list by any means, these are just all the characters that are on the "Cast Of Characters" page that's in the Dark Horse TPB editions. You'll notice the editors left out some pretty big names. I'm sure there's something you can read into it, psychologically speaking.

I'll be sure to add storytime favorites and important named characters, like The Terminator, The Snitch, Nakamura Koji, Ikeda, etc, but if there are any characters you'd like to see, please name them and include an issue or story I can find them in so I can make an icon (the icon sizes are 220x200 pixels).

Lastly, 1 - are there any colors you think the four quadrants should be? I pulled those colors from a page of the Fantagraphics Usagi Yojimbo Color Special (the "red" is Tomoe's kimono, the "blue" is Usagi's Mifune uniform, the "green" is from a grassy field and the "yellow" from a stylized cloud) but I'm open to better suggestions. Color theory was never my strong suit, and 2 - I'm also open to font suggestions.

You'll notice the editors left out some pretty big names. I'm sure there's something you can read into it, psychologically speaking.

I'll be sure to add storytime favorites and important named characters, like The Terminator, The Snitch, Nakamura Koji, Ikeda, etc, but if there are any characters you'd like to see, please name them and include an issue or story I can find them in so I can make an icon (the icon sizes are 220x200 pixels).

Lastly, 1 - are there any colors you think the four quadrants should be? I pulled those colors from a page of the Fantagraphics Usagi Yojimbo Color Special (the "red" is Tomoe's kimono, the "blue" is Usagi's Mifune uniform, the "green" is from a grassy field and the "yellow" from a stylized cloud) but I'm open to better suggestions. Color theory was never my strong suit, and 2 - I'm also open to font suggestions.

Usagi's political compass points towards honour.

So when he encounters a servant of the Shogun like Ishida, who honourably pursues justice, he assists. When he encounters at Metsuke who is spying? He hinders.

When he encounters a consipiracy that will plunge the country into war? He aids the shogunate, as the lords are dishonourable, breaking their vows of fealty.

When he encounters the Grasscutter, he conceals it from the shogunate and opposing lords alike because it would be dishonourable to allow a divine gift to become a tool of politics.

Where does Usagi stand on the political compass as a Ronin and on his pesonal view? It actually makes no sense that he helps a servant of the shogunat cause he could already be seen as an enemy of the shogun for burning informations from a spy in service of the shogun alone, how loyal is he really to the shogun or is it just the inspector he likes to help?

The last thread I commented how Usagi is arbitrary on what Justice he seeks, like allowing Kitsune to scam dozen of people but stopping the three stooges from forcing her for a better share of the profits.

Or making her return the scroll Kyoko stole but letting Kitsune steal from Tomoe.

As with all fermentation, the key is the conversion of complex starches within the grain into fermentable simple sugars that yeast are able to consume.

Wine is made from grapes, which already contain the simple sugars glucose and sucrose, which yeast can readily eat, which is why it was one of the first fermented beverages. Grains such as barley and rice have to have their starches broken down in order for the yeast to work their magic. In the case of sake, this is done with Koji bacteria.

I still love the giant snake Kimono. I can kind of imagine Hebi is a snake demon who became the majordomo for Hikiji so he could have a tailor on staff. And the other snakes (I'm pretty sure we've seen giant snake demons previously) think he's weird.

"Hebi, why are you wrapping yourself in that useless human skin?"

"It's not their skin! It's clothes, and they're great"

"Hebi have you been hit in the head? What's so great about it?"

"Are you kidding? You know that feeling you get when you shed, just before the old skin peels off completely? It's like that, but softer and more comfortable!"

"Whatever, freak."

Well by that metric, resolving Tomoe's relationship by leading it into Senso would be fine, because its modified enough elements to be distinct from Usagi's failed relationship with Princess Kinuko:
- Princess Kinuko was Usagi's social superior, Tomoe is Usagi's social equal (arguably Usagi has seniority over her)
- Usagi and the princess were both young and it was a very spur-of-the-moment romance, Usagi and Tomoe have a lot more history together
- Usagi and the princess were both oathsworn to clan Mifune, Usagi (as of now) is still a ronin

Yeah, but UY has always been a relatively niche subject for fanart, riding along mostly on the coattails of TMNT. This is conjecture and anecdotes oh my part, but it feels like fanart for UY proper went into a long and deep hibernation after the end of Senso, and its only recently, because of the attention surrounding the new IDW issues and the Netflix show, that it's seen a resurgence. Not that I'm complaining of course, more fanart I'd always welcome.

[User] Lightyear specifically failed because it wasn't in any capacity what anyone wanted from that type of movie. It was pitched as "the movie that existed in the toy story universe which the Buzz Lightyear toy was merchandise of" yet the movie tonally was another 2020s era film and it was also dependent on nostalgia for toystory from a meta perspective. Buzz being Zerg is only a twist in a world where a normal idea of Zerg from toy story 2 and the Buzz Lightyear cartoon exists. Buzz putting the old suit from Toy Story back on is framed like referential audience fan service but that only makes sense in a world where Toy Story already exists for the movie to reference. People came in looking for a pulpy, colourful, sincere late 90s to early 00s space fantasy romp and they got a smarmy half baked melodrama with hard sci fi bells and whistles taped onto it. It just outright wasn't what they insisted it was. It was mediocre in its own right, meandering with far too long a set up before something interesting happens, and undercut even further by specifically not being what people wanted.

Good time for anyone else tho. Disney can suck fucking nigger cocks. They've actively toxified every aspect of media with their presence since at least the 90s and are a massive reason for the decline of animation, as they rush to capitalise on any new prospect and force it into existence as well as being directly responsible for fucking up the copyright laws so they could continue to profit off I.Ps and brands that they never actively had rights to as they were already public domain or long past the point they should have been.
Disney going bankrupt due to DeSantis, their popularity chasing and politiking would be the premium icing on the cake for media.

Everyone thinks they don't have an accent sure, but there is universal acclaim that Hollywood accent is actually accentless, it's why people prefer learning English though it's speakers.

No see that's the problem Anon, it worked and you believe that. But when you dig your hands into the guts of America their is a vast wealth of regional diversity. America the bland is an ongoing project of 'whiteness' and the historical, political, and business motives that power it. It doesn't have to be that way, we can see American for the tapestry it really is.

[Assistant]

I don't know what the fuck you're talking about anon. You're referencing your personal ideology which I don't know.
Regional diversity in the US? Yeah, a little. But if you think it's significant, you haven't been to Europe much.

Cable is actually seeing a minor resurgence, like home phones, but it appears to be short lived. Parents with young children prefer being able to simply turn the kids channel on, plus there's sports and a lot of people end up springing for the package deal because they already have a TV.

[User] Lightyear specifically failed because it wasn't in any capacity what anyone wanted from that type of movie. It was pitched as "the movie that existed in the toy story universe which the Buzz Lightyear toy was merchandise of" yet the movie tonally was another 2020s era film and it was also dependent on nostalgia for toystory from a meta perspective. Buzz being Zerg is only a twist in a world where a normal idea of Zerg from toy story 2 and the Buzz Lightyear cartoon exists. Buzz putting the old suit from Toy Story back on is framed like referential audience fan service but that only makes sense in a world where Toy Story already exists for the movie to reference. People came in looking for a pulpy, colourful, sincere late 90s to early 00s space fantasy romp and they got a smarmy half baked melodrama with hard sci fi bells and whistles taped onto it. It just outright wasn't what they insisted it was. It was mediocre in its own right, meandering with far too long a set up before something interesting happens, and undercut even further by specifically not being what people wanted.

The kiss seriously does not matter and your average normie does not give a shit. What does matter is if the movie looks like fun and it looked boring as hell. I'd bet good money that if Lightyear had been colorful and exciting then it would have done just fine even with a lesbian kiss

You forgot to mention that one of their main marketing moves was that lesbian kiss or whatever. Your average joe, who has a wife, children and simply wants to have a day out with family, would be put off by the wokeness.

Nigga you retarded. White is just a visual term for over a certain level of brown. Latinos can pass for white and so do hollywood jews, both are white until they want minority points and suddenly ethnic background is called into question when it was never important.
