Funnily enough, Battle Beast is the name of a heavy metal band, members of which split off to become Beast in Black which is basically a Berserk tribute band.

I my thank you for telling me this.

>>29120
Many of Battle Beast's songs are about Berserk, too. (Or maybe just in the early albums, before the split? I have not kept up with them.)

Kirkman also wrote Marvel Team-Up 20 years ago which I thought was fun.

>They're called "グローバリスト" in the original, it's literally a borrowed English term.
Fair enough but when Japanese take on English terms they do not always mean the same thing so what this is referring to could mean many things. Looking up Japanese Wikipedia says
> グローバリズム（英: globalism）とは、地球全体を一つの共同体と見なして、世界の一体化（グローバリゼーション）を進める思想である[1][2]。
>字義通り訳すと全球主義であるが、通例では、多国籍企業が国境を越えて地球規模で経済活動を展開する行為や、自由貿易および市場主義経済を全地球上に拡大させる思想などを表す。
> Globalism is a thought that promotes the unity of the world (globalization), seeing the entire earth as a single community.[1][2]
>Although translated as globalism, it usually refers to the act of multinational corporations to develop economic activities on a global scale across national borders, and the idea of expanding free trade and market-oriented economies on the global planet.

this is why I don't like talking about fiction slop and I just either enjoy it or don't. I always hate the hyperbole of everything needing to be the best ever or the worst ever or blah blah blah.

orchestra episode went harder. wife said it was better than the manga

it's mid but it makes me laugh.

luffy and the straw hats have restored like 5 monarchies at this point

Sorry chud, but
The World Government is historically progressive.
Fishmen slavery was historically progressive.
Baroque Works was historically progressive.
Doflamingo's SMILE production was historically progressive.
Kaido's occupation of Wano was historically progressive.

Is Oda a chud?

The only meaningful opposition to Ishiba, most people that were calling for him to resign, are in the Sanae Takaichi camp. Takaichi is a complete freakshow right winger, who will probably try to work out some coalition with the Sanseito. Ishiba on the other hand was perhaps the most centrist centrist that ever tried centrism: it's no surprise that he's unpopular but him being threatened by Koizumi to resign is just the LDP once sacrificing the current head to play some sort or hot potato instead of actually trying to admit fault as a party.

>>29110
this is regarding 2002 when Eiichiro Oda commented on support towards the LDP Koizumi administration, which is surprising, cause that admin was one of the first to support the war on terror and anti-china hysteria was rampant with yasukuni shrine visits having far more impact than they do nowadays

>>28570
Perhaps, but all his main assistants have been super right-wing guys. Go look at Kunio Ajino's entire follow list, it's like January 6 all over again lmao

>mha
>left wing
dude what
Why is eoe left wing? and why is eva show right wing? Oh wait I read the thing. Sexualization of kids is right wing? I'd say eva is tactful in its handling of depression

oh snap

My social feed is people arguing if the umamusume horses are leftists or right wingers so thats where the current culture war is at, OP needs an edit of which horses lean where

i kinda agree with some of ones

It is "bizzare" relative to Bobobo. It is not "bizzare" relative to Ren & Stimpy. Hence why I specifically wrote Japanese people.

>>28935
this is all fanbases. literally every single fucking fanbase is like this.

>>28955
Not the Marquis de Sade fanbase. Come jizz with the Marquis.

the soundtrack is great

>>8497
BASED, you guys know about nationplay fetish on 4chan's /trash/? you should make more propaganda edits for fascists to jerk off to.

No Myao?

Why is garp white in the one piece live action? He is visibly tan and hindutva Indian looking.

>the writers
One Piece is written by one guy lol

What the hell. So that’s what the grand elders are like? Oda needs to give Usopp a buff at this point. Give that boy his dials and his pre timeskip gadgets along with Armament haki plus some hand to hand combat skills. That boy is 100% deep fried with these villains if he’s still shooting green beans at all his enemies 😭

>>29095
They're literal monsters huh

>>29099
MAJOR SPOILER WARNJNG











apparently their devil fruit abilities aren’t charged by zoan types but by some weird magic Imu has themselves (idk imu’s sex). If you want to know what each grand elder is like, think of each like a miniature version of kaido in the direct sense. Each of them got weapon specialization, a near indestructible body at base that can only be harmed by either garp level strength or advanced use of armament haki, a beast form, a man-beast form, and full spectrum haki access along with the ability to infuse haki into all their attacks and defences. So yeah, each of them basically everything kaido had in WANO but none are as obscenely strong as kaido individually.

Naruto is about child soldiers and the fascist deep state, I assume

>Naruto is about child soldiers and the fascist deep state
It can't be about child soldiers, because there's no real critique about it. The fascist deep state CIA part of Konoha does cause a lot of the conflict in the narrative, but this never leads to the title character to have any critique of the system, in fact, Naruto never truly confronts these forces in the story. And a lot of the fascist elements of Konoha is subtly justified without pushback.

the first volumes/seasons are a conservative attack against queerness. first you have haku, a boy that becomes trans and then dies because he got groomed by a psychopath. and then you have orochimaru, whose first appearance is literally impersonating a woman and kissing sasuke to give him "his curse" (the gay virus), his second appearance is to hint that he groomed kabuto when he was a teenager, and his first off-screen mention is to imply that he molested anko

>>29100
I respectfully disagree with this take:
Haku’s story isn’t about "punishing transness."
Haku’s gender fluidity is treated neutrally in-universe. Naruto briefly misgenders him, then immediately moves on — zero narrative judgment.
His tragedy stems from being a child soldier trapped in Zabuza’s cycle of violence (war trauma > queer identity). His death humanizes both him and Zabuza, framing their bond as twisted but tender — not as grooming = queerness.
Orochimaru isn’t "queer-coding villainy."

His shapeshifting/gender impersonation is classic folklore deception (think tengu or kitsune tropes).
His predatory behavior — cursing Sasuke, manipulating Kabuto/Anko — reflects ambition and abuse of power, not queerness. The narrative condemns him for violating autonomy (a universal theme), not for queerness.
Early 2000s shonen like Naruto used androgyny/flamboyance for drama, not LGBTQ+ commentary. Kishimoto later includes positive gender-nonconforming rep (e.g., Might Guy’s emotional flamboyance isn’t mocked). Haku’s gentleness even contrasts toxic masculinity — he’s kind despite being raised as a weapon.
Critiquing Orochimaru’s predatory tropes? Valid. But conflating his amorality with queerness ignores:
His victims (Sasuke, Kabuto) aren’t queer-coded.
In-universe, nobody links his actions to LGBTQ+ identities.

TL;DR: Early Naruto has problematic tropes (like most 2000s anime), but framing it as "anti-queer" overlooks its neutral/progressive aspects for its time.

>>29093
The series critiques cycles of vengeance (e.g., Pain’s rampage, Sasuke’s downfall) and uses forgiveness as a tool to break generational trauma—not to excuse atrocities. Naruto spares Nagato/Obito but still holds them accountable ("I’ll never forgive you!"), and the Kage system itself reforms post-war (e.g., Allied Shinobi Forces).

While grounded in interpersonal bonds (a shōnen staple), the story openly condemns systemic failures:
Child soldiers (Gaara, Kakashi)
Clan persecution (Uchiha massacre, Hyūga abuse)
Authoritarian corruption (Danzō, Madara)
Naruto’s rise as Hokage symbolizes changing the system from within—not preserving it—by valuing outsiders, diplomacy, and mercy over tradition.
The Ending Isn’t "Status Quo with Naruto in Charge"
Pre-war Konoha: Secretive, clan-dominated, militaristic.
Post-war Konoha: Open to outsiders (Kumo/Suna alliances), prioritizes diplomacy, and Naruto explicitly rejects past Hokage dogma (e.g., Hiruzen’s inaction, Tobirama’s Uchiha bias). His leadership is the reform.

Mocks elite birthright (Neji’s "fate" speech rebutted).
Centers orphaned "failures" (Naruto, Lee).
Nationalism? The finale unites nations—it’s anti-jingoistic by design.
