Stab The Eggman

Wielders of swords stabbing Dr Eggman: Schezo Wegey (Puyo Puyo), Yuko Asou (Valis), Guts (Berserk), Kirito (Sword Art Online).

Schezo had already stabbed Dr Eggman before, but that was the Sega Mega Drive version of Dr Eggman who got stabbed. In this comic, the Dr Eggman that is being stabbed in this comic is the version whose design debuted in Sonic Adventure and has since been the design Sonic fans are all familiar with.

Stab The Jerk 3

Weapons stabbing Gary Oak, from left to right: Dragon Slayer (Berserk), Dark Repulser (Sword Art Online), Lionheart (MapleStory).

Yet another comic about Ash's original nemesis Gary being stabbed? Looks like I really hate Professor Oak's grandson a lot, even if he was named after Shigeru Miyamoto...

Then again, I think Gary Oak must die over 9000 times for humiliating Ash Ketchum and tormenting millions of Pokemon players. Even if Ash Ketchum turns out to be a Zainichi Korean, his namesake Satoshi Tajiri a sympathizer of Zainichi Koreans, and over half of Zainichi Koreans confirmed to be communist sympathizers, the injustices Gary Oak did to Ash Ketchum outweigh the Zainichi Koreans' sympathy towards communism. And I don't care if Gary Oak's death will result in Waluigi becoming playable in a future Super Smash Bros title or erase Mario's existence. I still think the end of the Ash Ketchum Arc of the Pokemon TV series did no justice for the Pokemon fanbase.

Stab The Jerk 2

Swords stabbing Blue/Gary, from left to right, starting with the top row: Maple Glory Sword (MapleStory), Lionheart (MapleStory), Valis Sword (Valis), Gradriel's Sword (Princess Crown), Dragon Slayer (Berserk), Dark Repulser (Sword Art Online).

Even if Gary is wearing a black shirt in Pokemon Journeys, making him similar to his twin brother Blue, he should still perish along with his twin brother for all the wrongs they did to Red and Ash, because I still believe that Red and Ash should have justice, and if Red and Ash were Zainichi Koreans, the demand for justice will be greater, even if over half of Zainichi Koreans are known to be communist sympathizers.

Remembering Kentaro Miura

Author's Note: It is with deep sadness that Berserk author Kentaro Miura passed away on the 6th of May, 2021. Yet, this was only made official yesterday.

From my perspective, Kentaro Miura was definitely a legend by manga author standards. He was known for drawing everything in the Berserk manga with an overly detailed style. Unfortunately, this attention to detail may have taken its toll on his health.

For those who do not know about Berserk, this manga and its anime adaptation is known for having a very dark world that would put the Dark Souls series to shame. The main hero of the series, Guts faces monstrous villains that would be far nastier than many of the biggest, baddest baddies in video game history. If Pokemon's Ash Ketchum was dropped inside the world of Berserk to serve Guts as his sidekick, he would have perished in just one battle in less than one minute. Guts was also known for carrying a huge sword that would make Final Fantasy 7's Cloud look like a wimp, and the villains this hero has to face on a very frequent basis are so bad that villainous characters who would feel at home in the Berserk world such as Fury Bowser, Calamity Ganon and Ridley were sadly rejected from the Berserk villains auditions. If Kirito thinks Sword Art Online was a nightmare, perhaps he should try surviving the Berserk world. Then he will remember that there are far worse places than Sword Art Online.

Rest in peace, Kentaro Miura. You are definitely a legend that's gone but not forgotten.
