The End of Rooster Teeth

This is it. The day Rooster Teeth's website goes offline has finally come, and it's all the fault of David Zaslav's bad management of Warner Bros.

Farewell, Rooster Teeth, and thanks for the great Halo machinima series Red vs Blue!

Swimming Pool Matriarch Visual Gag Variations 5

Author's Note: This is the first Matriarch of the Swimming Pool comic since Neo Retro Union started its Bluesky account.

Did you know that Japanese copyright law did not incorporate Fair Use? If you have found out about this, good job. You have found out why Nintendo, Square Enix and Toei have been copystriking so-called "rogue" fans for alleged acts of copyright infringement.

Speaking of Japan, it turns out there was no repentance for all the war crimes committed in World War 2 because many of Japan's war criminals were never punished. That's why the Japanese government can deny war crimes and get away with it. It gets even worse when you find out that there was no repentance in Germany as well. If it's revealed that many aspects of post-war Germany, including copyright management authorities, were influenced, dominated and administered according to the will of National Socialism, all I can say about modern Germany is "Democracy Über Alles, my foot".

In Dragon Quest VI, Ashlynn and Milly both commented about the angel leotard, which is known for increasing the wearer's resistance against instant death spells. Ashlynn says that the angel leotard is more of Milly's style, while Milly says that the angel leotard suits Ashlynn better than her. But true Dragon Quest fans say the angel leotard looks good on both of them.

With the deaths of Koichi Sugiyama and Akira Toriyama, Dragon Quest XII could possibly be the last Dragon Quest game. It's unknown if Yuji Horii will retire to honor the memories of the dead men after the launch of Dragon Quest XII.

When Rooster Teeth launched Red Vs Blue, there was no MySpace because MySpace was launched on 1 August 2003, while the first episode of Red Vs Blue came out on 1 April 2003.

When Vimeo was established, there was no YouTube because Vimeo's establishment was in November 2004, while YouTube was launched on 14 February 2005.

The Melancholy of 2024

2024 is turning into yet another Annus Horribilis. The earthquake that happened in Japan on the first day of 2024, followed by a runway collision at Haneda Airport that killed five Coast Guard officers in the line of duty was already bad enough. Funimation being assimilated into Crunchyroll made things worse. And now, Warner Bros is disbanding Rooster Teeth because they are no longer profitable. But the real deal has to be the death of Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama, whose other works included Dr Slump, as well as artwork contributions to Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger and Blue Dragon.

Akira Toriyama died on the 1st of March, 2024. But his obituary was revealed seven days later. Japan is like a tortoise when it comes to announcements about several high-profile obituaries. Now that Akira Toriyama is dead like Koichi Sugiyama, who died in 2021, expect Koichi Sugiyama and Akira Toriyama to appear in the "In Memory of" section of the Dragon Quest XII credits.

When Red Vs Blue first came out, there was no YouTube, let alone no MySpace. Now that Rooster Teeth is disbanding due to lack of profitability, the fate of the final season is looking uncertain. Hopefully Phil Spencer will acquire the rights to Red Vs Blue because this web series was based on Microsoft's Halo franchise. Then Red Vs Blue can have the poetic ending it finally deserves.

If 2024 is the year our childhood starts dying, then we probably need to let go of zeitgeist nostalgia, because Isaiah 43:18-19 says that we should forget the former things and not dwell on the past because God is doing a new thing by making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Given that the turmoil that began in 2020 is going to get worse in the coming days, Isaiah 43:18-19 is going to be even more relevant now than ever before. To quote Dr Strange in Avengers: Infinity War, "We are in the Endgame now."

Farewell Akira Toriyama, and thanks for all the Kamehamehas, Fusion Dances and Dragon Quest Slimes.

Confusion Crisis

Author's Note: This comic used a popular meme template from the Halo machinima series Red vs Blue about somebody being deceived.

How confusing is Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle? The confusion levels are definitely worse than that of Kingdom Hearts.

What if it turns out Sakura Kinomoto's magical girl escapades were the result of the backstory in Chapter 200 of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle? For those who have read Chapter 220, it turns out Clow Reed's careless wish was responsible for the events of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, which in turn lead to the events of Cardcaptor Sakura. It just so happens Sakura Kinomoto was willing to lend a hand to Princess Sakura to return to Clow Country by any means possible. This means Sakura Kinomoto is no different from any magical girl with past lives. All of this confusion, however, is Fei Wong Reed's fault in the first place. His death seal tearing apart Princess Sakura resulted in Nadeshiko freezing time and dying for it. This resulted in the heroes going on a quest to restore Princess Sakura's memory and uncover her true identity. But this resulted in the creation of many paradoxes. In other words, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle is so confusing that Magical Girl Anime fans have indeed been tricked and bamboozled.

Awakened by Revelation

Author's Note: This comic used a popular meme template from the Halo machinima series Red vs Blue about somebody being deceived.

For those wondering what Red vs Blue is, it is a popular machinima series based on Microsoft's Halo series made by Rooster Teeth. In fact, this machinima series was officially endorsed by Microsoft.

What if it turns out that France, the Benelux nations, and the Scandinavian countries turned out to be distant descendants of the lost tribes of northern Israel? This could be the biggest plot twist that those studying Bible prophecy should be aware of, because for all we know, France could be the lost tribe of Reuben, the Netherlands, the lost tribe of Zebulun, and Sweden, the lost tribe of Naphtali. Another major plot twist to watch out for is that the clay part of the iron and clay feet of the statue of Daniel 2 represents the European nations founded by the ten lost tribes of northern Israel. In fact, some of these European countries, including France, Netherlands, and Sweden, are members of the European Union, which was born out of the ratification of the Treaty of Rome, and Rome was the seat of power of a great false church that disapproves of anyone who questions their authority, much like the Roman Empire that persecuted the Christianity of the early Apostles. Also, the European Union, like the Roman Empire, is being run by corrupt bureaucrats that dislike freedom, if the European Union's Digital Services Act being internet censorship made by Germany is any indication. If corrupt bureaucrats working for a shadow government that has always been Germany's true rulers being in league with a great false church results in the resurrected Roman Empire carrying out one last attempt to conquer the world, then France, Netherlands and Sweden have indeed been tricked, backstabbed and bamboozled.

However, God is going to ensure that the nations descended from the lost tribes of northern Israel, as well as the lineage of Judah, will exit the Babylonian system that the European Union tries to uphold. In Revelation 18:4, the biggest instruction is to exit Babylon, whether you are a descendant of Judah, or any of the northern Israelite tribes, or even a Gentile. Escape from the Babylonian system while you still can, because when the Doomsday Clock hits Zero Hour, extremely bad things will happen. But all of these calamities will end with the demise of the Babylonian system that began with the Tower of Babel because Christ will come back to prevent mankind's extinction by demolishing the Babylonian system and locking up the Evil One in the bottomless pit for 1000 Anno Mundi years. Only then will all of humanity, be they descendants of the Israelite tribes or Gentiles, be free from the wickedness that have caused a lot of suffering.
