The Consequences of Justice


If there was any reason Gary Oak was never punished for all the wrongs he did to Ash Ketchum by the time Ash's Journey ended, it's because giving Gary any comeuppance whatsoever will be a grave insult to Shigeru Miyamoto. After all, if Gary Oak dies, the entire Miyamotoverse that Shigeru Miyamoto conceived when he came up with Donkey Kong in 1981 will perish as well. Talk about the grave consequences of justice...

P.S. Satoshi Tajiri stated that if Ash finally wins, it will be over because it's possible becoming a Pokemon Master is the moment right before you die.

Extremely Confusing Series


If there was any reason for Masahiro Sakurai to not include Anime and Manga characters in Super Smash Bros, it's because of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle being extremely confusing due to Fei Wong Reed placing a death seal inside Princess Sakura.

The Chosenese from Pallet Town


If Ash Ketchum is indeed a Zainichi Chosenjin, then this could explain Gary Oak's "Smell You Later" catchphrase. Zainichi Koreans were often called dirty, smelly, lazy and stupid. Ash Ketchum was known for being stupid, but he was never lazy.

Ironically, Gary Oak wears a yellow and green Taegeuk amulet, and the Taegeuk is the emblem of South Korea. This would put him on the hit list of both the fascists and communists. Looks like this jerk is as good as dead because he made the fascists and the communists unite against him...

The Outsider Who Aspired To Surpass Miyamoto


Ever wondered why the writers who worked on the Pokemon TV series were unkind towards Ash Ketchum? That's because the Pokemon creator is even more of an outsider than Waluigi. This also explains why the writers believed Ash could not defeat Gary. They always think Satoshi Tajiri could never overtake Shigeru Miyamoto. However, many Pokemon fans were left with a Surprised Pikachu Face when Ash did beat Gary. Yet Gary still wants to torment Ash by asking a hard question about how close did Ash come to becoming a Pokemon Master when Ash's Journey was approaching its end.

At the end of the day, Satoshi Tajiri could never surpass Shigeru Miyamoto because the creator of Super Mario Bros was also known for conceiving Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda and Pikmin. Not to mention Gary Oak's namesake does not hate Waluigi at all. He just thinks Waluigi does not fit in the Wario series either.

More Reclusive Than Toriyama


Author's Note: This comic is my lawyer-friendly version of the "Change My Mind" meme. Also, the background used is a chroma key green screen.

Ever wondered why Pokemon creator Satoshi Tajiri has been absent from every single Pokemon Direct? If you said Satoshi Tajiri is more reclusive than Akira Toriyama, you are correct. While Akira Toriyama is known for being reclusive, Satoshi Tajiri may have been more reclusive than the Dragon Ball author.

RuneScape Mother's Day Gifts


Today is Mother's Day, which means it's that time of the year where people honor their mothers. What better way to honor this special day than with a comic about Mother's Day gifts?

If RuneScape players could give Mother's Day gifts to their mothers, amulets of defence, baked potatoes with cheese and summer pies would have been among those items.

V-E Day 80th Anniversary


Amid the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War, the War in Israel, rising tensions over Taiwan and Korea, and lawsuits threatening to shut down the Internet Archive, one thing remains clear. Germany's de-Nazification was a farce. That's why the copyright authorities of the two major losers of World War 2 have been attacking Fair Use. They have secretly blackmailed the United States Copyright Office as well as major book publishers and music record labels into filing lawsuits against the Internet Archive and Fair Use.

However, we must remember that the Beast that was, and is not, and yet is will rise one last time. And when he rises, he will terrorize the Earth for a time, times, and half a time before meeting his horrific demise at the hands of the King of Kings.

Hexion


Author's Note: As at the time of this comic being uploaded, Hexion has yet to be re-released as part of the Arcade Archives series.

Of all the Konami franchises that have been around since the company's establishment in 1969, Hexion has to be one of the most criminally overlooked. How criminally overlooked, you say? There were no console ports of Hexion whatsoever, and this arcade game has not yet been given the Arcade Archives re-release treatment.

Then again, Hexion was nothing more of a licensed arcade port of David Markley's Hextris, and Hextris was nothing more than a shareware title. However, David Markley will be more than happy if Konami's Hexion gets re-released as part of the Arcade Archives series. After all, some forgotten Konami arcade titles such as Xexex have already been given the Arcade archives re-release treatment, so it's high time for Hexion to get re-released.

700 and still counting


Ladies and gentlemen, we did it. We have reached yet another milestone. 700 comics is no easy feat, but I have finally reached that milestone. Next stop, 800 comics.

Leotard Warrior Girl


While some Nichibutsu arcade flyers have scantily-clad ladies in them, the two flyers for Sei Senshi Amatelass with the leotard-clad girl are actually modest by fanservice standards.

Here is what the Sei Senshi Amatelass arcade flyer looks like:


And here is another flyer for Sei Senshi Amatelass:


If pop culture historians want to know where the cosplay conventions of the the last 25 years have their roots in, the leotard-clad girl in the Sei Senshi Amatelass arcade flyers is the real reason cosplay conventions became so popular in multiple places, most notably Comiket.

Mushroom Appetizers


Portobello mushrooms stuffed with cheese are tasty and appetizing, and so is mushroom soup topped with mushroom slices.

The Disturbing Lack of Justice


Ever wondered why I do not watch Anime as much as I used to? It's not because of the lack of good shows, but rather, the disappointing and disturbing lack of justice in Anime. Even if there are exceptions, the lack of justice in Anime mirrors the lack of justice in Japanese society as a whole. That is why fighting for justice is exceptionally difficult in Japan.

VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!


Today is the day Singapore goes to the polls. As Singaporeans cast their votes, the big question is, who will prevail?

Anime Swimwear


I'm very sure the Shimabra and the Shimapan were the reasons striped bikinis became one of Anime's most popular two-piece bathing suits.

Swimming Pool Matriarch Visual Gag Variations 8


Hey, folks. I'm back once more with yet another Matriarch of the Swimming Pool visual gag variations comic.

If there is anyone to blame for Dr Wily becoming a villainous villain, it's all the fault of the insensitive Dr Light. Also, the creepy Robot Masters Skull Man and Shade Man would definitely become BFFs.

If there is one thing Dr Eggman and Dr Eggman Nega fear most, it's being tested positive for diabetes.

If there is one thing Blaze the Cat should never do, it's sitting on Silver the Hedgehog. Especially when you have an Internet video where a cat tried to sit on a hedgehog only to get pricked...

I'm very sure Pokemon was the dying dream of a mentally ill Ash. If that turned out to be true, then this would explain why Ash can never grow old...

The Atari 5200 version of Pac-Man is definitely far superior to the subpar Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man.
