Kick The Noob


Characters kicking the RuneScape Noob in this comic: Sakura Kinomoto (Red Cape Leotard) (Cardcaptor Sakura), Rit (Rod Land, Soldam), Tyris Flare (Golden Axe), Volcana (Ultra Vortek).

I do not have any grudges against the RuneScape Noob in this comic. It's just that he may have been a bot user in disguise, and bots have been a big nuisance as far as legitimate RuneScape players are concerned.

Heroes and Heroines against Autocracy


Author's Note: All copyrights for the images in this comic, including fan art, go to their respective owners.

In the face of rising tyranny, some people must rise up to take down these dark forces. Various heroes and heroines have answered the call to fight against autocracy.

Would Rit, Tam, Hammerin' Harry, Gonbe, Wynn, Lucia and Hebereke go into hyper-rage mode if they were to oppose an alliance between fascism and communism? Yes, they will. And these heroes and heroines will destroy any villain that gets in their way. With these heroes and heroines, who needs the Avengers and the Justice League?

Kick The Mischief-Maker


People kicking the Mischievous Lemmings, from left to right: Rit (Rod Land, Soldam), Tam (Rod Land, Soldam), Ax Battler (Golden Axe), Tyris Flare (Golden Axe).

In Lemmings Touch, if a mischievous lemming enters the exit, it will result in a game over. Therefore, mischievous lemmings do not deserve any sympathy at all, which is why in this comic, the mischievous lemmings are being kicked by other people.

Characters wielding Old School RuneScape Mithril Warhammers featured from left to right starting with the top row:

Row 1: Amy Rose (Sonic), Lip (Panel de Pon), Yoshi (Super Mario), Red Yoshi (Super Mario), Blue Yoshi (Super Mario), Yellow Yoshi (Super Mario).

Yet another comic where characters wielding Old School RuneScape weapons are rising up in united arms against the injustices plaguing the Earth? Looks like justice know no boundaries...

Anti-Tank Magical Girl


Continuing from that comic about characters who would win against a T-72 tank, I decided to expand on it by coming up with this comic about eight tanks Rit would win against if she were to confront them.

Remember when I said that the first boss of the Mysterious Pyramid levels of the arcade version of Rod Land was a tank? It turns out Rit and Tam won against that boss, which inspired me to come up with the comic about characters who would win against a T-72 tank, and this comic is a sequel focused on eight tanks Rit would win against if she were to confront them.

M47 Patton: This tank never got to fire a single shot in anger under the American Flag, but it saw a lot of action in various conflicts. However, its combat record was below average, with the biggest blemish being the Iran-Iraq War, where Iranian M47 Pattons got destroyed by Iraqi tanks of Russian origin.

Chieftain Tank: Britain's attempt to create a more powerful successor to the highly successful Centurion Tank was actually a disappointment that got rejected by Allied countries, including the Netherlands, Canada and Australia. There was a silver lining in that rejection, however, because Iranian Chieftains were getting massacred by Iraq in the Iran-Iraq War. Even Iraqi tank crews claim that their sabot rounds were going through Chieftain Tanks like a hot knife slicing through butter, and those claims turned out to be true.

Type 62 Tank: This Chinese light tank invaded Vietnam during the Sino-Vietnamese War, only to perform poorly in that conflict due to its weak armor.

Type 63 Tank: Another Chinese light tank that invaded Vietnam during the Sino-Vietnamese War. Like the Type 62, it performed poorly in that conflict as well. During the 1991 Gulf War, Iraqi Type 63 light tanks invaded the Saudi Arabian city of Ras Al Jafiji to little success. The reason behind the Type 63's poor performance in the Sino-Vietnamese War and the 1991 Gulf War? Blame its weak armor.

Type 69 Tank: When the Type 69 Tank first came out, it was initially rejected by the Chinese Ministry of Defence due to its poor performance, and all 100 Type 69 Tanks were sent back to the factory that built them. After improvements were made, the Type 69 tank got better. So much better that China manufactured Type 69 Tanks for Iran and Iraq during the Iran-Iraq War. Talk about playing both sides...

Panzer 68: The Panzer 68 had so many problems that it could well be considered the worst tank to have entered military service. The Swiss Ministry of Defence knew about the Panzer 68's problems and they rectified many of these problems with the upgrade to the 68/88 model.

TR-85: Romania's most successful attempt at an indigenous combat tank project was not without teething problems. The problems were so bad that the communist regime threatened to cease tank production. Even after the modernization program that came after the fall of communism, the TR-85 still looks like a relic of the Cold War. In fact, the Romanian Ministry of Defence is mulling over retiring the TR-85. But with no replacement, the TR-85 will have to remain in service with the Romanian Army despite its obsolescence.

Arjun MBT: India's attempt to create "Leopard 2 Tank at home" was a huge disaster. How bad was the Arjun MBT project, you say? The project was mired in so much corruption that the final product ended up having a worse performance than the T-90 Tank. And Krauss-Maffei's involvement in the Arjun MBT project wasn't helping either because the Arjun's MTU engines were not the type of engines you would expect to find in the Leopard 2, but rather, these MTU engines were similar to the ones found in the Leopard 1.

With all that said, if Rit is a magical girl that is capable of anti-tank warfare, then she is eligible to be on the "Top 10 Best Magical Girls" list.

T-72 Destroyers


We have seen images of destroyed T-72 tanks in the Russo-Ukrainian War, the Syrian Civil War, the 1991 Gulf War, and the 2003 Iraq War. But one must wonder if the T-72 can be defeated by anyone with extraordinary powers. Here are some people who I think would win against a T-72.

Rit: In the Mysterious Pyramid levels that are exclusive to the Arcade version, the first boss of that set of levels is a tank, and Rit vanquished that boss. This means Rit would win against a T-72 if given the chance.

Captain Falcon: Anyone who wants to fight against Mute City's resident superhero clearly has a death wish. If a T-72 were to get Falcon Punched, it's as good as dead. Period.

Terry Bogard: The poster boy of the King of Fighters franchise did fight against tanks before. In The King of Fighters: Maximum Impact 2, you get to fight against a Metal Slug, and Terry Bogard is one of the many characters going up against the Metal Slug, with the possibility of him winning. And let's not forget that time when he went up against General Morden in Metal Slug Attack. If Terry Bogard can win against a Metal Slug, then he can win against a T-72.

With all that said, T-72 tank crews better pray that their opponents are not any of these three characters.

Anti-Xbox 360 Weapons


Back in 2007, the infamous Red Ring of Death terrorized anyone who possessed an XBox 360. People started blaming Microsoft for not taking responsibility for all the XBox 360s that got bricked by the Red Ring of Death. Microsoft's response was to redesign the XBox 360 to reduce the number of XBox 360s getting bricked by the Red Ring of Death, and concealed the true cause of the infamous Red Ring of Death as a result.

For this comic, I came up with the idea of using various weapons to destroy any XBox 360 that got bricked by the Red Ring of Death. We have the dynamite and the shotgun from Looney Tunes, both of which are weapons in the Worms series, as well as the Uzi from the Worms series. We also have a Leopard 2 Tank from Daisenryaku and War Thunder, a Steel Warhammer from Old School RuneScape, Rit's Magic Wand from Rod Land and Soldam, and a Sledgehammer from MapleStory. If I had any of these weapons, I would definitely use them to destroy an XBox 360 that got bricked by the Red Ring of Death.

TL;DR, Bill Gates must pay a terrible price for making millions of XBox 360 owners unduly upset.

By the way, the Leopard 2 Tank in this comic is the Leopard 2A4 variant.

Toast To 2025


Characters toasting to 2025 by holding up glasses of redcurrant juice: Rit (Rod Land, Soldam), Tam (Rod Land, Soldam), Spelunker (Spelunker), Wynn (Mystery of Atlantis), Lemming (Lemmings), Sakura Kinomoto (Cardcaptor Sakura), Yona (Yona Of The Dawn), Cayna (In the Land of Leadale).

2024 turned out to be yet another turbulent year. Assassination attempts on the rightful President of the United States, the leftist meltdown that followed when he won the Presidential Elections, the ongoing copyright lawfare against so-called acts of intellectual property theft, and the continuous attacks against free speech. On the positive side, however, prominent tyrants and terrorists who hate Israel have either perished in helicopter crashes or were assassinated by the Israeli Defence Forces through various means. Who knows what 2025 will bring? Maybe the tyrant who knows dark sentences will rise? And when he does, is there anyone brave and bold enough to confront him when he carries out his nefarious plans for world domination?

Six Fan Arts Entry


Author's Note: My apologies for being late to the #SixFanArts bandwagon. As an old saying goes, better late than never.

Characters in this #SixFanArts Challenge Entry: Fall Guy (Fall Guys), Hebereke (Hebereke), Ice Bear (We Bare Bears), Alice (FunOrb's Wizard Run), Lemming (Lemmings), Rit (Rod Land, Soldam).

The Fall Guys are titular bean-shaped player characters that take part in a Wipeout-style battle royale. They get involved in all sorts of wacky situations in various minigames.

When Hebereke was first released in 1991, the titular penguin became the face of Sunsoft. Recently, he had some new releases, namely Ufouria: The Saga 2 and Hebereke: Enjoy Edition.

Ice Bear from We Bare Bears is the third member of the bear trio. He is the least talkative of the three bears.

If you remember FunOrb, you might have played Wizard Run at one point in time when the website was still up and running. You play as an apprentice wizard named Alice, and your main objective is to take down the Harpy King and rescue your master.

For your information, the Lemming from the Lemmings game is drawn using the art style of the TerminalMontage YouTube channel videos for this #SixFanArts comic.

Rit from Rod Land and Soldam is definitely one of the best magical girls in the history of magical girls. In this #SixFanArts comic, she is portrayed in her appearance from Soldam: Drop, Connect, Erase.

P.S. There is an error in the positioning of Ice Bear's ears. While this seems unintentional, this could be a reference to all the production errors found in animated TV shows.

Groin Kicked 2


People kicking the female fencer from the Astyanax, from left to right: Rit (Rod Land, Soldam), Suchie-Pai (Suchie-Pai), Yuko Asou (Valis), Tyris Flare (Golden Axe).

As if the female fencers from the Astyanax having their blouses fall off wasn't bad enough, getting their groins kicked by female characters is going to make life even worse for them. And it doesn't help when female Jaleco characters such as Rit and Suchie-Pai are among the people who are kicking the female fencers' groins...

Kick The Jerk


People kicking Gary Oak, from left to right: Rit (Rod Land, Soldam), Tam (Rod Land, Soldam), Suchie-Pai (Suchie-Pai), Cayna (In the Land of Leadale), Ryo Sakazaki (The King of Fighters).

Cayna from In the Land of Leadale finally gets to be in my comics? All I can say to her is "Welcome to Neo Retro Union, Cayna!"

First, we had a trilogy of comics where other people kicked Waluigi. Then, it was Bubsy's turn to get kicked by other people. And now, Ash Ketchum's original nemesis Gary Oak is now getting kicked by other people for all the wrongs he did to Ash?!? Looks like justice knows no boundaries...

Then again, Gary Oak deserves to get kicked for tormenting Ash Ketchum and millions of Pokemon players. Even if this arrogant jerk was named after Super Mario Bros creator Shigeru Miyamoto and Ash Ketchum's namesake Satoshi Tajiri was even more of an outsider than Waluigi, this is no excuse for Nintendo to not punish those who have mistreated Ash Ketchum. Justice is justice, and Nintendo has no right to obstruct it. Period.

Bubsy Gets Kicked


People kicking Bubsy, from left to right: Rit (Rod Land, Soldam), Suchie-Pai (Suchie-Pai), Yuko Asou (Valis), Volcana (Ultra Vortek), Spelunker (Spelunker), Wynn (Mystery of Atlantis).

It's sad that Bubsy's creator Michael Berlyn is dead. Bubsy's existence was a mistake, and it doesn't help that Atari now owns Bubsy. Talk about a miserable existence...

At least Atari would be kind enough to let anyone kick Bubsy as long as Fair Use allows it.

Stomp The Jerk


Characters stomping Gary Oak on his back, from left to right, starting with the top row:

Row 1: Rit (Rod Land, Soldam), Sakura Kinomoto (Star Dress) (Cardcaptor Sakura), Suchie-Pai (Suchie-Pai).

Row 2: Wynn (Mystery of Atlantis), Volcana (Ultra Vortek), Yuko (Valis).

I do not care if Gary Oak was the son of Pallet Town's mayor, or the fact that this bully was named after Super Mario Bros creator Shigeru Miyamoto. Nintendo is mistreating their customers and classifying some of them as cybercriminals. In retaliation, I decided to draw obscure characters' shoes stomping Gary Oak's back as payback for Nintendo's crackdowns on so-called acts of counterfeiting and intellectual property piracy, and for all the tormenting the arrogant bully did to millions of Pokemon fans worldwide through his bullying of Ash Ketchum. All the characters that are stomping the arrogant bully are more respectable characters because they either fight for justice or just simply dislike Gary Oak because he tormented millions of Pokemon fans worldwide, including myself. In fact, the characters that are stomping the bully are either obscure or semi-obscure characters that deserve more respect from us, especially Ultra Vortek's Volcana. Give some love for Atari characters, especially the obscure ones.

If Nintendo does not deliver any justice for Ash Ketchum, the #BoycottNintendo movement will grow even bigger, and Nintendo is definitely not ready for the biggest boycotts that are yet to come.

Kick The Ijiwaru


Characters kicking Waluigi's rear, from left to right: Rit (Rod Land, Soldam), Suchie-Pai (Suchie-Pai), Lip (Panel de Pon), Sakura Kinomoto (Star Dress) (Cardcaptor Sakura).

Let's face it. Waluigi will never get his day in the spotlight, because his name is an anagram of ijiwaru, which means ill-natured. And such an ill-natured person gets no love from Nintendo that he will never be Player 2 in a Wario Land game, or have his own set of microgames in the WarioWare series, or become a major antagonist in any game where Luigi is the main character, or even have his own game at all. Instead, in this comic, he gets kicked on the rear by more respectable characters who should get more respect from us. No wonder Waluigi was destined to remain an assist trophy in the Super Smash Bros games. His name was not worthy of any respect from us.

DLC Finale Hype


In anime and manga, magical girls are portrayed as protectors of their hometown and perhaps their world. Back when I was a kid, I would even think that magical girls would go toe to toe with the likes of a cap-wearing Shonen adolescent. However, this is not possible, as said adolescent would not be allowed to even punch his enemies, and not to forget that non-video game characters are not allowed to participate in a dueling tournament designed to be a celebration of video game history. If that is not enough, some magical girls face monstrous villains that will make most of gaming's worst villains look weak in comparison. Thankfully, Rit from Rod Land is not one of these magical girls. However, if she is not the final Fighters Pass character, just trying her best to get that slot will be more than enough for her to prove herself a heroine to the magical girl community.

Unlike Microsoft, who allowed Banjo-Kazooie and Minecraft's Steve to participate in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Sony will never consider having any of their characters take part in a Nintendo dueling tournament. Despite porting several first-party PlayStation titles to Windows PCs in recent months, as well as an official mobile Lemmings game, Sony will never even think of having any of their characters fill the final Fighters Pass character slot. This is because of Nintendo's betrayal of Sony in 1991, which left Sony bitter towards Nintendo to this day.

Who knows if Polygon Man really dislikes Nintendo and Microsoft more than he dislikes PlayStation mascots...

Update: Sora from Kingdom Hearts just got the final Fighters Pass character slot, and he is not property of Sony Interactive Entertainment. This means Super Smash Bros Ultimate does not have any characters from Sony Interactive Entertainment at all. In other words, Polygon Man dislikes Nintendo and Microsoft a lot more than PlayStation mascots...

The War for the Final DLC Slot


Now that Tekken's Kazuya has taken the penultimate Fighters Pass Volume 2 character slot, one question remains. Who will the final 
Fighters Pass Volume 2 character be? And no, Sakurai is not telling who it will be during his presentation on Kazuya Mishima.

However, here are my eight candidates for the final Fighters Pass Volume 2 character, and six of them, including honorable mention Dirk the Daring, were from my Fighters Pass Volume 2 candidates comic. All they need to do now is to get into a huge all-out war for the final Fighters Pass Volume 2 character slot and we will finally be done and over with Super Smash Bros Ultimate's DLC so that we can prepare for an even bigger war to come.

Update: Sora from Kingdom Hearts qualified for Super Smash Bros Ultimate, meaning none of the characters in this comic will be in Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

Up In United Arms


I cannot believe I have not featured anything related to MapleStory in my comics until now. Maybe it's time MapleStory got more attention in my comics...

Attention, all readers. If you are fed up with all the injustices going on throughout the whole world, it could be time to rise up in united arms, regardless of what weapons you are using.

Below is a detailed explanation for all the weapons featured in this comic:

The bronze dagger is known for being the weakest weapon in the history of the RuneScape game in both RuneScape 3 and Old School RuneScape. Steel daggers are significantly stronger than bronze daggers in both RuneScape 3 and Old School RuneScape, and are commonplace with special forces all over the world.

In RuneScape, farmers fight using pitchforks, and pitchforks have always been a symbol of angry mobs.

The 2020 edition of Looney Tunes has decided to remove guns from the show. This means Elmer Fudd will no longer be using his shotgun. However, Warner Bros did not remove dynamites from the 2020 edition of Looney Tunes. Therefore, enjoy laughing at cartoon explosions while we still can, because weapon control laws will tighten the noose on our childhood memories.

Shotguns, handguns, Uzis and dynamites have always been weapons featured in many games in the Worms series, which has been known for the many hilarious deaths of worms due to these weapons.

In the Command and Conquer games, technicians use their pistols to defend themselves. Unfortunately, it's useless against buildings and most vehicles. Only in the hands of super commandos do pistols do any damage against vehicles, with the most prominent example being the Metal Slug games.

The AK-47 has become a symbol of Russia's military power, as well as a common weapon of Russia's client states. Unfortunately, terrorists have idolized the AK-47, and that's no good.

Wands have largely been the favourite weapon of choice for many magical girls, including Rit from Rod Land and Soldam, and being a magic user is quite common for many female MapleStory and RuneScape player characters. This is why Rit's magic wand, MapleStory's Ice Wand and RuneScape's Mystic Wand are featured in this comic.

The stick grenade was originally used by the German Army during World Wars 1 and 2. Unfortunately, it failed to help Germany win both World Wars, which they obviously lost. In the Metal Slug series, the stick grenades are used by the playable characters as well as mid-boss Allen O'Neil.

Dynamites have always been a favourite weapon of the Crazy Ivan from Red Alert 2. In fact, the Crazy Ivan is one of the most humorous units in the game along with any explosive unit that blows up enemies.

Sais have been a mainstay in all things ninja, including MapleStory. The most prominent user of sais has to be Raphael from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

MapleStory is just one of those games where you can use silly weapons, and one of those silly weapons is a steel pipe.

Gonbe and Tago from Ikki use bamboo spears to fight for justice. Just as pitchforks are the weapons of angry mobs from Western countries, bamboo spears would be the best choice for the Japanese or East Asian counterparts to the pitchfork.

Stamp Out Kyubey


Characters' shoes from left to right, starting with the top row:

Row 1: Rit (Rod Land, Soldam), Lip (Panel de Pon), Kanna (Hammerin' Harry).

Row 2: Sakura Kinomoto (Tomoeda Middle School Uniform) (Cardcaptor Sakura), Escha Malier (Atelier Escha and Logy), Doremi Harukaze (Ojamajo Doremi).

For all the teenage girls that have been deceived by Kyubey's contracts, Kyubey must be executed by all means, even if he claims that his kind is an endless race.

This comic is more than just a tribute to the 10th anniversary of Puella Magi Madoka Magica. It is also a homage to the "Stamp It Out!" Allied anti-sabotage propaganda poster from World War 2. Perhaps it is time for magical girls, their voice actresses, and their fanbases to rise up to fight for freedom, liberty and justice. Speaking of justice, the injustices done by Kyubey included deceiving Homura to do wrong. That is why Kyubey must be stomped for all the wrongs he did. After all, he was the one who tricked the five main female protagonists of Puella Magi Madoka Magica into his contracts in exchange for their souls. Unfortunately, none of the Puella Magi Madoka Magica main protagonists can do anything right, so it can only be characters from outside Puella Magi Madoka Magica who can deliver justice for them by stomping Kyubey and his kind.

Fighters Pass Volume 2 Potential Candidates


Author's Note: These characters are my pick for Super Smash Bros Ultimate's Fighters Pass Volume 2. For those wondering why are Fighters Pass outsiders being considered for DLC, that's because Piranha Plant is currently the only DLC character who is not part of the Fighters Pass Volume 1 DLC package, as well as the fact that there will be more DLC characters after the completion of Fighters Pass Volume 1.

Given that Bandai Namco is currenty the lead development studio in Smash Bros production, Klonoa will have higher priority over the other five characters in Fighters Pass Volume 2, although his Wind Bullet would cause problems regarding character inflation.

In regards to Arle, she will be a far better Sega representative than Sonic and Bayonetta combined, especially when Puyo Puyo is the only Sega franchise doing better than Sonic.

Similar to how Terry Bogard from Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters brought in music from various SNK games, including those from Metal Slug into Smash Bros, Rit from Rod Land and Soldam would introduce Jaleco music to Smash Bros.

Just like Byleth from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Lana from Hyrule Warriors came from another Koei Tecmo-developed game. However, I will expect her trailer to be received with more positive reception than Byleth's trailer.

Contra's Bill Rizer would be very unlikely, despite the popularity of Contra and the Konami Code on Nintendo consoles, because Masahiro Sakurai does not want any realistic guns in Smash Bros.

And finally, Sir Arthur will be yet another unlikely character because his armour break mechanic will complicate the gameplay mechanics, and being reduced to a pile of bones will be too disturbing for younger audiences.

Update 1: The first Fighters Pass Volume 2 character is confirmed to be Min Min from ARMS, so one of these six characters will not make the cut, and it's most likely the one with the realistic guns.

Update 2: Steve from Minecraft, along with Alex, a Zombie and an Enderman, are filling the second Fighters Pass Volume 2 slot, meaning another candidate will not make the cut.

Update 3: Cloud's arch-rival Sephiroth has been confirmed to be the third character in Fighters Pass Volume 2. This means yet another character will not make the cut.

Update 4: Pyra and Mythra have booked their spots, and Sir Arthur's armour is a Mii Swordfighter costume. Surprisingly enough, it does not break apart unlike the armours in the Ghosts'n Goblins series.

Update 5: Heihachi Mishima's son Kazuya is going to represent Tekken in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. In my honest opinion, the second Bandai Namco rep should have been Klonoa.

Update 6: Sora from Kingdom Hearts is the final Fighters Pass character, meaning the leakers' claims that Sora was going to get that final slot were right all along. This means none of Neo Retro Union's candidates for Super Smash Bros Ultimate's DLC character slots qualified at all...

Long Queue


Characters featured from left to right: Hebereke, Spelunker, Kanna, Ripple, Peter Pepper, Tam, Rit, Gonbe.

Judging by Hebereke's thought bubble, the queue to buy tickets to watch Smash Bros duels would be a long queue because in order for video game characters to buy tickets, the ticket seller would have to identify whether the customer is wearing an appropriate attire before the customer can buy a ticket. This could explain why Mai Shiranui was missing from Super Smash Bros Ultimate's King of Fighters Stadium's cameo characters list, given that her exposed cleavage would displease CERO, the ESRB, and PEGI.

You can see that Rit is buying two tickets, one for her and one for Tam, as they both come from Jaleco's Rod Land.

Being seventh in line in the queue isn't so bad, but when one is being analyzed for anything inappropriate or unacceptable, which none of the characters queuing for tickets have, expect the ticket seller to do a thorough search on the customer to find anything inappropriate or unacceptable, and it will cause delays in what would be an otherwise normal queue for tickets. This method of searching for anything inappropriate or unacceptable ended up barring Mai Shiranui from buying a ticket to watch any Smash Bros duels.

On a side note, congratulations to Byleth on qualifying for Super Smash Bros Ultimate's final Fighters Pass slot, even if reception was as bland as that towards Piranha Plant.
