ah yes Berserk i gotta catch up on that

Serpico is what I love about japanese storytelling as opposed to western stuff

you have plenty of time to catch up

If you put Serpico in a western writing outline

The idea would be "INSERT HIM EARLY SINCE HE BECOMES IMPORTANT LATER"

"You can't just have important people show up later and BUILD in importance. That just seems RANDOM!"

... >:U

Fuckin'... no it doesn't. Sometimes the best people in your life show up later.

I like how Serpico became more and more useful while the princess become more and more useless

I think that is indeed part of the problem. lol

This was well done.

Yamcha becomes useless.

He shouldn't be.

Yamcha's moves are awesome.

He's a good foil.

No reason he has to job the way he does.

You know what is crazy... Yamacha is the only one with a life.

Well.

He's the only one with a life that isn't dedicated to martial arts.

He played baseball.

Which is low-level cheating because..

I mean.

Nigga is bringing ki and shit into a sport filled with people who--for some reason--are completely alien to ki.

Toriyama citizens are always shocked when people perform feats proven to be totally possible in-world.

I think this started happening a lot more when the decision was made to have Goku be an alien.

And have Piccolo be an alien.

"But Tien is an earthling."

Nah shut up.

I only just got caught up with the Berserk since the last Tankobon

"Why do you hate Tien, Toriyama."

Shut the FUCK UP, fans.

Just shut your fucking mouths.

Tien sucks, we all agreed to hate him.

"Tien could've one-shotted Raditz."

With what? A move that was set up to be far more powerful than anything Goku has, but it risks death?

"Yes precisely that"

--FUCK YOU with your logic.

Toriyama loves artificial tension.
