Dark Times Ahead

The ancient prophecies of the Old Testament and the New Testament did not lie to us. Between corrupt bureaucrats enforcing draconian copyright rules that will ruin the internet that we grew up with since the 1990s and potentially stifle creativity, rogue dictators and terror groups threatening to destroy democracy, and the terrifying reality that the United States of America will end up suffering the same fate as the ancient Israelite Empire, the age of freedom is dying. We are heading for dark times, just as Matthew 24 predicted.

Speaking of corrupt bureaucrats, there is a fair amount of sources that can justify the claims that the European Union, which is being ruled by corrupt bureaucrats, is the kingdom represented by the iron and clay feet. To make matters worse, if the good people of Europe lose their digital copyright battle against their corrupted bureaucracy, then tech giants such as Alphabet (Owners of Google and YouTube), Facebook and Amazon, as well as smaller internet enterprises such as Vimeo, and the majority of good people of Europe will pay the price should the controversial copyright reforms get fully implemented.

Even French novelist Jules Verne had a terrifying vision of what France will look like in the future. If you read Paris in the Twentieth Century, you will get an idea of a grim, dystopian view of the future that is without creativity. In fact, most of the positive objects featured in the novel as well as negative ones were actually predicted, and most of these predictions of 1960 and the years after that were remarkably accurate. However, the bleak future that was portrayed in the novel will only happen if the European Union's draconian and controversial copyright reforms gets fully implemented.

Revealed Truth

Perhaps the United Kingdom leaving the European Union was not a bad idea after all...

Who would have thought that a Red Alert 3 expansion pack that came out in 2009 portrayed the European Union in a negative light? Especially when the European Union is now trying to force member states, big tech giants and smaller internet enterprises to install upload filters that are far from perfect just to combat copyright infringement. YouTube has already taken more than enough action against copyright infringement, and the new (but imperfect) upload filters will be too expensive for them to install.

But what if the claims by some modern interpreters of Bible prophecy were correct to say that the European Union is the kingdom of iron and clay feet from the Daniel 2 statue dream? According to Daniel 2:43, the iron and clay mixture will mingle with the seed of man, but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay. Given the recent protests against the European Union's copyright and censorship law reforms, the good people of Europe, especially those who want the UK to leave the EU, have been fighting against a corrupt bureaucracy whose headquarters is in Brussels, which in a way, proved that the Bible scriptures are correct.

#WeLost

26th of March, 2019 will be remembered by European netizens as a day of infamy, because the protests and petitions to save the internet from being heavily censored by corrupt bureaucrats have failed. #WeLost.

Like or dislike them, fan-made villains like Bowsette and Eggette will possibly be censored in EU countries by Article 13, which was often called the "meme killer" by critics. This was why Bowsette and Eggette are portrayed as deceased characters as depicted by their gravestones.

The internet we grew up with and the memes are not really dead, but it will be largely censored rather, especially when the current upload filters are not perfect in identifying copyright infringement, which may result in internet uploads being wrongfully removed, and that is not what netizens want.

Also, this controversial copyright reform could potentially threaten to hinder the spread of the Bible scriptures on the internet as well, as the Bible is one of the most important books in history, and is the reason for the rise of democracy. Therefore, we must find ways to spread the Bible scriptures to the ends of the earth through the internet without violating any copyright whatsoever.

Update: The European Union Copyright Directive came into force, but I am still around. I guess I can continue to be a content creator for now...

Then and Now

Fun Facts: The first generation Honda City rolled off the assembly line as a hatchback. Honda retired the "City" name in 1993, only to revive the usage of the name as a sedan in 1996. The "City" name was never reused in Japan, however.

During the first generation Honda City's production run, which ran from 1981 to 1986, Jaleco created an arcade game called City Connection, which was released in 1985 and had a Honda City as the player's vehicle. Interestingly, City Connection, who currently owns the rights to Jaleco's intellectual properties after Game Yarou's bankruptcy, was named after the 1985 arcade game of the same name.

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...

Bacon Mania

How bacon mania became so popular on the internet in the past 15 years in spite of obstacles will remain a mystery.

This year, the Lunar Festival will usher in the Year of the Pig, and there's no other better way to usher it in than to talk about bacon.

Double Execution

Author's note: This comic was supposed to be uploaded before the launch of Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy for the Playstation 4 as it was created before the game's launch.

Blame Bobby Kotick for bringing Activision's intellectual properties to near total ruin, with Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, the Call of Duty series and Blizzard Entertainment being the ones worst affected by Kotick's bad management. Especially when Activision's focus on the Call of Duty series was the real reason for the decline of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon. This was the reason this comic has gun barrels pointed at Crash Bandicoot and Dr Neo Cortex, as both are facing execution, hence the comic's title name.
