Artifact Destruction

Not all powerful artifacts are good. Some of these artifacts are so evil that they need to be smashed to a million pieces, melted in a river of lava, or wished out of existence. Here are the artifacts so evil that they were better off destroyed for good:

The One Ring: This gold ring grants anyone who wears it invisibility. However, if Sauron can see your whereabouts if you are wearing the One Ring, the invisibility effects are not worth it. You're better off drinking an Invisibility Potion or wearing an Invisibility Cloak. Thankfully, Smeagol accidentally destroyed this evil gold ring by taking it with him to his lava-filled grave, which resulted in Sauron dying for good.

The Shikon Jewel: The heroes and villains of Inuyasha have often competed over who will be the first to successfully reassemble this Sacred Jewel. However, nearing the end of Inuyasha: The Final Act, the Shikon Jewel was revealed to be the true mastermind behind Naraku's villainy. So what was the solution? Kagome wished for the Shikon Jewel to disappear forever, which obliterated the Shikon Jewel and obliterated Naraku once and for all.

The Soulstones: If there was any legitimate reason for us to hate fallen angels, Izual's betrayal was the reason the Prime Evils were able to corrupt the soulstones that imprisoned them. Even worse still, Baal inserted his soulstone into the Worldstone, effectively corrupting it. On top of that, the soulstones that trapped the Prime Evils were created from shards of the Worldstone. And it gets worse with the Black Soulstone, because unlike the other soulstones, this one was not made from the shards of the Worldstone. Malthael sought to steal this soulstone for more nefarious purposes. However, Malthael was defeated, his body obliterated, and the Black Soulstone was destroyed, effectively thwarting his nefarious plans to eradicate all of humanity.

Therefore, if an artifact is too evil for anyone to lay their hands on or even belong in a museum, destroying it by whatever means possible would be a risk that's worth taking.

The Real Truth About The Sacred Jewel

Remember the times when we used to watch Inuyasha? That TV series revolved around its titular hero Inuyasha and a time-traveling heroine named Kagome. Their quest revolves around searching for the shards of the Sacred Jewel (later called the Shikon Jewel) and taking down the villainous Naraku. After many villains, including Naraku himself, were vanquished over the course of the TV series' 10-year run, it turns out the Shikon Jewel was the real mastermind behind all of Naraku's villainy. This means the Shikon Jewel was the true villain of Inuyasha from the very beginning.

Given that no good wishes had came out from the Shikon Jewel, Kagome's wish for the Shikon Jewel to disappear forever remains the only good wish to be granted in the Inuyasha series. The Shikon Jewel self-destructing was what ultimately killed off Naraku once and for all, meaning the series finale of Inuyasha: The Final Act is the only true Good Ending in the history of Anime to date.

Thinking of other things other than other ladies 4

Once again, I'm back with yet another comic about my OCs in a lawyer-friendly version of the "Thinking about other women" meme.

While Naraku got the lion's share of the haters' fury throughout the entire history of Inuyasha's TV run, it was revealed near the end that the Shikon Jewel was the real mastermind behind all of Naraku's villainy from the start. Therefore, Kagome wishing for the Shikon Jewel to vanish forever ultimately killed off Naraku once and for all.

At the end of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, the site where Calamo and the Knight Construct took down the last of the Forbidden Constructs became the place where Calamo decided to take root. If the post-credits cinematic was anything, it's possible that Age of Imprisonment could be more than just the backstory of how King Rauru's hand grabbed Ganondorf's chest in the first place. It's also the origin story of the tree that we now refer to as the Ancient Tree Stump in Breath of The Wild and Tears of The Kingdom.

If you want to know why Ash "Satoshi" Ketchum only knows nothing but the bitterness of defeat in the first six Pokemon Leagues that appear in the mainline Pokemon games, it's all the writers' fault for being biased against Pokemon creator Satoshi Tajiri. They portrayed Ash as the underdog who could never win a Pokemon League because they believe that Satoshi Tajiri could never overtake Shigeru Miyamoto. This could explain why the late Takeshi Shudo wanted Ash's first battle against wild Pokemon to end with him going up in smoke, as well as Shudo proposing the depressing ending where Pokemon was the dying dream of a mentally ill Ash all along. All because Ash's surname was never really Ketchum, but rather, Ash was Satoshi Tajiri's real self. So much for Satoshi Tajiri having Asperger's Syndrome, being an outsider in the eyes of Nintendo, and being far more reclusive than that the now deceased Akira Toriyama...

If there was one country that had it far worse than Germany in the 20th Century, it's Hungary. The Treaty of Trianon was far worse than the Treaty of Versailles. If you think Germany had it bad with hyperinflation in 1923, Hungary's 1946 hyperinflation was way worse. And don't even get started on Soviet Russia crushing the 1956 Hungarian Revolution...

Windows Vista and Windows Me are definitely the worst Microsoft operating systems in existence, and it doesn't help that they are both tied for that horrible title...

The Konosuba Aqua is pathetic. The Kingdom Hearts Aqua is far superior.

Wearing It Better 2

Swimsuits worn by my OC Turquoise in this comic, from left to right: Zelda's pink swimsuit from "Fairies In The Spring" (The Legend of Zelda TV series), Kagome's swimsuit from "The Toad Who Would Be Prince" (Inuyasha), Squid Girl's swimsuit (Squid Girl).

Author's Note: Turquoise is once again in another comic inspired by the "Who Wore It Better?" meme. This time, it's about swimsuits from various franchises.

There is just one instance of Zelda wearing a swimsuit, and that was in the Legend of Zelda TV series episode "Fairies In The Spring". This was also the only time where The Legend of Zelda series had a water park episode, which will be the closest this franchise will get to a beach episode.

But The Legend of Zelda series isn't the only case of a major female character wearing a swimsuit for one instance in official canon. At the start of the Inuyasha episode "The Toad Who Would Be Prince", we get to see Kagome swimming in a lake in her yellow and orange striped swimsuit. But that will be the only time we get to see Kagome in swimwear.

In contrast, Squid Girl gets to wear her white swimsuit on far more occasions, which makes far more sense due to the premise of Squid Girl being set in a town located near the sea.

If Turquoise were to wear any of these swimsuits, did she wear them better?

A Better Alternative to going Pantsless or Skirtless

If my webcomic's female OCs do wish to go pantsless and/or skirtless, they can always wear a buruma because the buruma is outerwear that looks like panties, meaning the girls can go pantsless and/or skirtless without having to expose their panties.

By the way, the female gym attire that includes a buruma in this comic is from Inuyasha, where Kagome was seen wearing that gym attire during physical education sessions.

Close-Quarters Combat Flops

When it comes to close-quarters combat, Usagi and Kagome would suck at it. Usagi is a crybaby who does not want to hurt anybody, even after they became monsters due to getting corrupted by evil forces, while Kagome never gets involved in close-quarters combat despite her archery skills. In contrast, Sakura Kinomoto would use her magic wand as a melee weapon, while Link and Pit are capable of engaging their enemies in melee combat in addition to having excellent archery skills. If Usagi or Kagome were to fight someone like, say, Street Fighter's Chun-Li, they would stand no chance if Chun-Li got close enough to kick their face. Therefore, Usagi and Kagome would get rekt very easily when it comes to melee combat.

Anime woes

Forget about #JusticeForWaluigi. We should be supporting #JusticeForAshKetchum instead, because Ash Ketchum was actually named after Pokemon creator Satoshi Tajiri, and he is also a shounen protagonist that is partially owned by Nintendo. Yet Nintendo and the anime studio that made the Pokemon TV series portrayed him as a low intelligence person, and did not even give him a chance to win any Pokemon League that was featured in the Pokemon games other than the Orange Island Pokemon League, which never appeared in the Pokemon games.

However, the Pokemon Adventures manga, which had the darkest incarnation of the Pokemon world, was actually the closest to being the most faithful to the Pokemon world that Satoshi Tajiri originally envisioned, and he actually endorsed it. That could explain Pokemon being a very dangerous series, if the official Pokemon books are any indication. No wonder the Pokemon TV series production crew did not want Ash to win any of the Pokemon Leagues featured in the Pokemon games. But it could have been worse.

Gen Urobuchi, the director of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, does not even care about the sufferings of magical girls, because he did not even watch any magical girl anime at all. Therefore, Nintendo should never hire Gen Urobuchi to be a director of the Pokemon anime at all, because if Urobuchi did become director for the Pokemon TV series, there could be a possible scene where Ash Ketchum finally perishes, with blood being spilled, and this can leave preteen audiences scarred for life. No wonder so many people dislike Gen Urobuchi a lot. In fact, I would like to see Kyubey finally suffer retribution from anime fans worldwide for all the teenage girls that he tricked, because the witches in Puella Magi Madoka Magica were actually magical girls that succumbed to despair.

Speaking of magical girls, Sakura Kinomoto's quest in Cardcaptor Sakura was actually due to the backstory events in Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle. It was revealed in chapter 220 that because of Fei Wong Reed's death seal being activated on Princess Sakura and Nadeshiko having to stop time and dying in the process, Clow Reed had to be king of Clow Country, which later on led to his soul splitting in two, and this happened before the events of Cardcaptor Sakura. Of course Sakura Kinomoto actually ended up assisting Clone Sakura in her quest to find Real "Sakura", as seen in Tsubasa Tokyo Revelations and chapters 217 and 224. (Spoilers: Real "Sakura" and Real "Syaoran" turned out to be Princess Tsubasa and Tsubasa Li respectively.)

The Sacred Jewel in Inuyasha turning out to be evil all along that Kagome had to wish for the destruction of the jewel itself actually makes sense, because no good has ever came out of it at all, and it does not even help when Kaede classifies the Sacred Jewel as an unholy jewel that should never have existed.

For those who want anime and manga characters in Super Smash Bros, we should abide to Masahiro Sakurai's policy stating that it is impossible for manga characters to join Super Smash Bros because manga and anime can sometimes be too violent for even a crossover fighting game. Maybe this is why manga and anime studios cannot cooperate with Nintendo, other than licensing issues of course, especially when Super Smash Bros is made possible through the cooperation of all parties involved.

Update 1: Ash Ketchum finally won a Pokemon League at the end of the Alola Arc, ending a 22 year losing streak. The #JusticeForAshKetchum campaign did pay off after all. However, Ash Ketchum's namesake, Satoshi Tajiri, did not give a single congratulatory response to Ash Ketchum winning a Pokemon League, unlike Junichi Masuda and Veronica Taylor, who have already sent their congratulatory responses. Either the Pokemon creator wants to distance himself from the protagonist that was named after him, or he has moved on to other interests, such as Little Town Hero, which could possibly be better than Pokemon Sword and Shield.

Update 2: The Ash Ketchum Arc has officially ended, and it ended with "Next Time, A New Beginning". It's unknown if he will even appear in Pokemon Horizons in any form, including possible flashbacks that Liko will potentially have. Who knows what secrets Liko's pendant contains...
