With fan excitement at an all-time high thanks to the recently announced Marvel VS Capcom Fighting Collection, Capcom, the beloved video game company, has not yet revealed future plans for a Marvel VS Capcom 4. Instead, a video game industry insider has leaked knowledge of the development of a Capcom VS Shōnen Jump fighting game.

The mystery insider source also mentioned the roster will include Ryu, Chun-Li, Zangief, Goku, Luffy, a little girl the insider thinks may be Anya from Spy x Family, an angry looking guy, a rugged guy brandishing a sword, a woman with love or heart powers, a happy boy with messy hair, and a high-school girl wearing a school uniform. It should be noted the source is a casual anime/manga fan.

Going by descriptions, the game may include just about any and every character to ever appear in Weekly Shōnen Jump and its digital publication, Shōnen Jump+.

Anime reaction YouTubers are thrilled by the news, leading to multiple accounts of their viewership becoming hearing impaired from their high-pitched screams and continuous chanting of “Let’s Go!”.

Rule 63 [One Piece 1118]

Double the Joy Boy, double the fun.

Jewelry Bonney became Joy Boy—erm—Joy Girl. That’s one powerful devil fruit she’s got. Then again, a rubber devil fruit can turn you into a toon god so it’s nothing new. The question is: What happens now? Easy. The Straw Hats escape. One of the Nika’s can catch the Thousand Sunny. Another can attack St. Mars (demon bird) and… Sanji holds off Kizaru? Come on! You know the Navy admiral’s making one last appearance before the arc ends.

I guess Dorry and Brogy will indeed escape and won’t sacrifice themselves to save everyone—nor Kuma. So far, only Stussy and Edison are being left behind. Well, Stussy at least. Edison isn’t connected to Punk Records, meaning he may be dead. What do I think, I hear you asking with Doritos baited breath? I think he’s dead…until he gets a cover story. If he doesn’t get a cover story then he’s a goner. All the male Dr. Vegapunks are dead and the women survive. Coincidence? You bet it is! Just like it being a coincidence all the Vegapunk women have negative traits. Lilith the EVIL. Atlas the VIOLENCE. York the GREEDY. Remember kids: Oda-sama’s not sexist. He’s just old and Japanese.

7 Comments on Kōhei Horikoshi Interview – What’s Next For My Hero Academia? [Meet the Geek]

It’s an honor to once again interview the popular mangaka, Kōhei Horikoshi. We sat down at an undisclosed location to discuss the future of his hit manga, My Hero Academia.

Thank you for agreeing to sit with us once again, Horikoshi-sensei.

Horikoshi: This is some good fried chicken. You gonna eat those biscuits?

No. Enjoy. We’re officially in My Hero Academia’s epilogue. Tell us, how much longer until the series ends?

Horikoshi: I promise I’ll finish it this year, I think. Depends.

On what?

Horikoshi: Well, I still haven’t decided exactly on how the series will end.

Can I suggest Deku meeting Koichi. Just kidding!

Horikoshi: Who?

Uh, Koichi Haimawari. The main character from My Hero Vigilantes.

Horikoshi: …

You drew him in a recent chapter.

Horikoshi: If you say so.

What about Deku’s father? Fans are looking forward to seeing him. Any hints when he’ll make his appearance?

Horikoshi: Oh! I forgot about him. Guess I’ll have to cobble something together. But, I’m confident I can still finish the series by the end of the year.

What are the chances of Deku forming a hero team to combat crime at the end of the series?

Horikoshi: That’s a good idea. Maybe something like the Avengers or the Rebel Alliance from Star Wars.

Star Wars Rebels aren’t superheroes.

Horikoshi: Luke Skywalker. Ahsoka Tano. Erza Bridger. Cal Kestis. R2D—

Okay. Okay. You’re right. Who is that mysterious barefoot kid in the latest chapter?

Horikoshi: If I tell I’ll have to kill you.

*Laughs* Good one.

Horikoshi: Technically, Shonen Jump’s black ops squad will kill you. Shueisha… is ALWAYS watching.

Will there be a My Hero Academia sequel?

Horikoshi: If I ever get around to it. I want to enjoy myself before deciding to do another series. I could just plot it though. I’m thinking aliens from space attack wanting to add Earth to their evil empire. That sounds fun.

Seriously?

Horikoshi: No.

Come on, Horikoshi-sensei. What’s really gonna happen at the end of the series. Just one hint, please.

Horikoshi: Okay. You know how Deku only carries an ember of One For All? See, he’s going to—got any honey mustard?

After learning the establishment ran out of honey mustard, Horikoshi abruptly ended the interview and left to get ice cream. Thank you for your time, Horikoshi-sensei.

Iron Giant? More like Glass Joe.

Just one itty bitty hit from a monstrously large pig demon was enough to down the Iron Giant. What I jobber! How the guy managed to get into that MultiVersus game I’ll never know. In any case, Dr. Vegapunk’s message was finally stopped, leaving us to wonder what he had to say about the D people. It was probably something like they have the power to change the world or are prone to addiction so shouldn’t drink alcohol. Vegapunk’s a doctor; a diagnosis is to be expected.

Blackbeard was listening to the broadcast! But we never saw a reaction from Shanks or Mihawk. Hmm… Is not showing their reaction be implied proof of the two secretly being blood related to the Celestial Dragons, as thus already knew the world was sinking?

Damn it, Joyboy! I warned you not to install Windows ME inside the robot!

And what about Edison? Looks like he’s screwed—along with the Giant Pirates. Don’t forget, their ship’s damaged. And if they can’t fix it, there’s no way they’re fitting on the Thousand Sunny. Let’s hope Franky can somehow keep their ship afloat or the Giant Pirates’ comeback tour is gonna end faster than a gluten-free dieter’s willpower when trapped inside a Krispy Kreme.

Because you demanded it, let’s talk about Wakfu: The Animated Series.

After reviewing Wakfu season three as a whole, I think it’d be better to do a full review of the fourth and final season once I’ve watched all thirteen episodes. If it’s anything like season three, I might have to watch it twice to really understand my feelings and give a more accurate assessment of my thoughts. But, since Wakfu doesn’t get nearly as much recognition as it deserves, I want to give my first impressions of the first episode—currently the only season four episode I’ve seen.

Short answer: I loved it!

Long answer: Here are my thoughts…

Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game [Hands-Off Review]

No Comments on Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game [Hands-Off Review]

Move over Dead By Daylight, there’s another unbalanced asymmetrical horror game headed for the big top.

Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game is based on The Dickies’ Killer Klowns music video that was later turned into a hit movie back in the 80’s—one of the scariest times in human history.

From watching others play the game on Twitch, I learned you can play as either a Killer Klown or Human. During a match, three Klowns are tasked with finding, killing, and emoting on humans, while seven Humans must work together to escape or bully the Klowns until they uninstall the game.

The Klowns look as scary as they do in the music video. All your favorites are back including Jumbo, Shorty, Rudy, and Bianca Del Rio. My personal favorite is Buggy. His special ability is making humans walk the plank. At least, that’s what happened in the dream I had last night.

Things aren’t all cotton candy and cream pies in Klownland however. The recently released game has several bugs and balancing issues the developers are diligently working on fixing between yoga classes and walking their dogs. Besides, a broken weapon or two isn’t that bad. What did you expect them to do? Wait until the game is finished before release? Get over yourself!

Also, other players curse—a lot. It must be a requirement to play the game because I haven’t heard that many f-bombs at a get-together since that time the church picnic ran out of potato salad.

Killer Klowns From Outer Space: The Game is not a movie. But it is a video game. So, if you don’t have the game, just do what I do and hold a controller while watching the movie. And, hey! If you do it while watching the music video, you’ll unlock the ringmaster costume skin. Neato!

Congratulations to U.A.’s graduating Class of 2… Um, what year is it exactly in the story?

Class 1-A has officially graduated! Say hello to Hero Course Class 2-A! They grow up so fast, don’t they? Of course, if it were up to me I’d have My Hero Academia last through their entire stay in high school. What I wouldn’t change is Aoyama leaving U.A. Look, you did good, Aoyama. You helped saved the day. But, Shinso deserves a spot in the hero class, and frankly, I’m still a little butt hurt there weren’t long lasting consequences for your betrayal. If this and a slap on the wrist is all you get, fine. I can live with that and wish you all the best. Goodbye and good luck!

And don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Welcome to Class 2-A, Shinso! It’s been a long time coming. Gotta say, I’m shocked Bakugo’s back at school so soon and even more shocked at how calm he is when he choses to be. Either that, or the medical marijuana is kicking in.

They went all out. Even got Snoop Dogg as a guest rapper/speaker.

Wakfu: The Animated Series – Season 3 Review [Hipster Hotline]

Post author By Redgeek

1 Comment on Wakfu: The Animated Series – Season 3 Review [Hipster Hotline]

What is Wakfu? Should you watch it?

First things first, in case you don’t know what it is, Wakfu: The Animated Series is an anime-influenced French television series produced by Ankama Animation, based on the video game Dofus. More specifically, Wakfu is based on the game called—erm—Wakfu, and is an action/adventure series that isn’t afraid to be goofy, which again, is very anime-ish.

If you came here wondering if you should give it a watch, I HIGHLY recommend the series. But, that comes with three warnings:

1.) Be wary of the English dub. Ruel’s English dub voice is awful. It took me out of the story. If you have a problem with any of the English voices then watch the original French dub with subtitles.

2.) Wakfu: The Animated Series takes its lore from the Dofus and Wakfu MMORPG games. Do not expect the show to explain the World of Twelve. Seriously, I played Dofus for a couple of years back around when the show first started and even I’m confused by the lore. You are dunked into the Krosmoz universe and are expected to swim. It’s not a deal breaker but you may be confused at times and won’t understand game references or game character cameos. It also doesn’t help that some of jokes, I feel, work better or make more sense if you’re French.

3.) The Gobbowl episodes. Season one and season two both have 3 episodes each dedicated to the main cast playing Gobbowl, a soccer/American football-ish game that’s popular in the World of Twelve. Despite having some good moments, I didn’t care for them. They didn’t need to be 3 episodes long in both seasons and I feel like the show mainly did it to promote Ankama’s failed Gobbowl game.

All that said, give the show a chance. It’s really fun and I can’t recommend it enough. There will be series spoilers going forward.

The call is coming from inside the ~~house~~ iron giant.

Wow! I never would’ve guessed Dr. Vegapunk put the transmission transponder snail inside of the Iron Giant. That’s quite the power play from someone York was convinced had no idea what she was secretly up to. Makes me wonder if Vegapunk Stella had just finished planting the snail inside of the Iron Giant when Luffy, Chopper, Jimbe, and Jewelry Bonney showed up in the junkyard way back in the beginning of the arc.

But, if that’s the case—and York is to be believed—Dr. Vegapunk seemingly had no idea she was a snitch and thief. So, what happened? My guess: Punk Records achieved sentience. It was in the driver’s seat, directing Vegapunk Stella to prepare for the World Government’s attack. It would also explain how Stella knew what York was up to. Even if she didn’t synchronize with the other Vegapunks, York was still connected to Punk Records. And it decided to act, using Stella’s body to help get the job done. I’m not fully confident about this theory but I’m sure the answer is connected to Punk Records in some way.

Guess that explains why Rayleigh went into the ship coating business—and sells flood insurance. What a jerk!

Hmm… Could Punk Records have also put a bit of Mother Flame inside Iron Giant as well as the broadcasting snail? The robot needs power to operate and Mother Flame is an energy source so it checks out. Here’s another thought: Is Pluton powered by Mother Flame energy too? If it’s an Ancient Weapon, I doubt it’s just powered by wind sails.

Koichi Haimawari signals the the beginning of the end for My Hero Academia.

Yes, Koichi’s only in ONE panel and a small ONE at that, but he’s there. Wow! Just look at that costume! Horikoshi draws him so darn good. Koichi’s eye shield looks different, a definite improvement. Overall, his hero costume looks better like this, with the hoodie on, as opposed to Deku’s hero costume looking better with the hoodie/mask off. I-I just can’t get over how amazing he looks in that ONE panel. Eek! I’m so hap hap happy!

Consequences. We’re starting to see that starting with Deku, All Might, and Bakugo. All Might will survive but we don’t know if he’ll be able to move on his own without assistance such as with a cane or wheelchair. Bakugo’s whole body was wrecked, including his heart, lungs, and arm. I wonder if his arm rehabilitation will yield fruitful results or will he need special equipment to fully utilize his quirk on his right arm? Also, Bakugo’s heart really has me worried. It’d be interesting if he gets an artificial heart. From what Doctor Yoshi said, I don’t see him going back to U.A. for at least a month, and that’s me being generous.
