Shokugeki No Soma: San No Sara – Episode 8-9

Episode 8: The Alchemist

Eizan and his judges continues to absolutely piss me off however this episode was extremely satisfying to watch at the same time because we know our boy has this match, Soma always does something different yet interesting in his matches and this time was no exception!

However before I go into what he made (wow I sound like a total food critic or something haha!) I should at least mention how much of a jerk and coward Eizan is, and that’s that in the hopes of getting Soma rild up and maybe even down during the match, he pulled an absolute dick move and sped up the eviction! He sent guys with bats and such to destroy the dorm during the match! Who does that?! I was a little relieved to see them literally fight back those guys but seriously who does that? A coward like him that’s why, he’s an Elite Ten, so he should be able to win with just his skills alone yet he goes to great lengths to get an even bigger advantage while at the same time crushes his opponents spirit and confidence? The losing opponent feels horrible as it is already since great lengths are usually at stake but no he decides to be extra and take it one step further! People like him make me sick and need to be put in their place.

Thankfully our boy Soma does just that and even piss off the living daylights out of him to where Eizan contorts his face into a gross, nasty yet hilarious expression out of anger! You have no idea how satisfied I felt!

Soma decided to go with Gyouza for his dish but he used just the wings of the chicken, removed the bones and filled it with fatty pork as the stuffing, pan fried it, and added Parmesan cheese to compliment it and added a sauce over it that was made with chicken bone stock that has been prepared since before the match started mixed in with soy sauce, sake, vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, and ketchup, I thought it was weird when he mentioned ketchup, but when it was explained that it highlights the richness and juiciness of the pork and enhances the elegant after taste of the chicken it actually made more sense and also kinda made me hungry and had the urge to try it….in the end he won completely! Woo!

Episode 9: Hunting The Survivors

After his match Soma returns home where he’s greeted by everyone, they all scolded him but were very grateful nonetheless and celebrated for being able to keep their home! I was a bit disappointed that a few of them suspected Isshiki to side with central, poor fool loves the dorm and they should have known that by now!

Days later Isshiki, Kuga, and one more guy who I can’t remember the name, were released of being part of the Elite Ten, which I saw coming and so did he, but the guy worked on making a thorough rule about central not being able to have ridges shokugeki plus they have to accept challenges from anyone that wants to save their RS, which is awesome of him, I was satisfied.

When they learn there was going to be multiple shokugekis going on at different stadiums they all split up and Soma, Takumi, and Megumi were going to watch as one group, when they get there a weird haired guy who is acting like he has a stick in his behind wouldn’t shut up about how he’s been chosen to be in central and that he’s an elite and blah blah blah and honestly Takumi put him in his place whether the guy knew it or not by saying that the fact he keeps saying he’s an elite and won’t hit up about it is proof of his lack of confidence and esteem and ugh I was so satisfied! I’m looking forward to the annoying guy’s match because Ryou is going up against him and I love watching Ryou’s matches regardless of who he’s up against since he always does something interesting!

Juni Taisen: Zodiac War Episode 9

Uh, what the hell just happened

What a way to start an episode… There is just so little premeditation when it comes to killing characters, which is how it should be, but it keeps catching me way off guard! Monkey is too op! I wear glasses and I can guarantee you I couldn’t see that far. Valuable information though. Considering Dragon died from Rabbit’s blades and was reanimated, we have pretty much all the support we need for the ‘need to be killed by rabbit to reanimate’ theory.

I guess the legendary brothers still get their spotlight as dynamic twins but, considering Dragon is in two and Snake is headless and limbless, I don’t know if we can still call them a duo.

Tiger’s path of righteousness descent into madness

By far the most relatable backstory that’s graced us so far. Ah, glory to the curse of being in the middle ground. Smack in the center of personality types like Monkey and Boar, Tiger embodies what is often underrepresented. The ‘normal’ person. If you can really even say that about a girl who defeated 100 people in a row in hand to hand combat. How does being good at kung fu let you develop the ability to drink gasoline and blood again? I must have missed that when I took karate as a kid. Maybe that was the next belt color up when sensei made you drink gasoline. When you have the mentality of Monkey or Boar (or any extreme opinion) there’s little chance of you going anywhere but further to the extremes. But there’s comfort and stability to it. A blissful ignorance that masquerades reality, seamlessly and forcefully bending the world to their beliefs.

That’s just not the case with self-aware people, like Tiger, who can see the wrongness and flaws of the world and have to make the choice to face it or run from it. What began as Tiger’s glorious road to righteousness swiftly ended with her in a dead-end alley of despair. Apart from being relatable, I found Tiger’s backstory to be so interesting in what they chose to mention. Bridging the gap between human and beast by figuring out she could crawl while blackout drunk, having her turn off her brain to the point where she couldn’t recognize facial expressions/emotions, losing the ability to define big words, and adding in that she forgot division but could still perform multiplication where all, I thought, unique ways to add personality. If only alcoholism was that productive in real life. I’ll stick to anime.

“‘Good’ is just a slogan. The world runs on evil.” Ha, I love that line so much. Tiger, no matter what happens, you are my favorite this series in terms of character roster.

Strategery Shenanigans

I was all ready to laugh and make fun of Tiger and Ox. Two blockheads who charge first and ask question later were being forced to think up a plan to fight 2 people 4 body parts of varying functionality. And then look what happens. In less than two minutes they make and execute a plan perfectly. What the hell man? ‘Uhh, I don’t understand big words. Durrr.’ – Tiger, probably. But then she figures out not only what liquid hydrogen is but manages to steal the pack with ease and freezes the twins before anything could actually transpire. Sure, ok. Fine. If she turned off her brain for that, where does that leave me? Let’s just chalk it up to warrior instincts.

No, seriously. What the hell just happened

WAIT, WHAT?! Is this for real? What is this show?? No way is Rabbit actually dead… He did a lip bite thing right beforehand and we still haven’t seen Monkey since the whole head toss thing. Can he reanimate himself? His eyes are the same color as the reanimated zombies… I don’t even know anymore. Does he really need more powers though? Isn’t it enough to be able to control the dead? No? Ok.

I just hope Tiger comes out of this ok. I’m sure the episode titled, ‘A Tiger May Die, But Leaves Its Skin’ could mean a lot of things.

AND WHERE IS RAT?

Something interesting that’s happened over the course of this show came to me in an epiphany today. I was ready to tear apart the animation in this episode. There was a lot of (bad) 3D and there were a bunch of shots where perspectives didn’t look quite right and the art looked not too good.

Naturally, that certainly doesn’t help the shows integrity, but it really feels like the series has put action on the backburner. It takes some readjusting of expectations, but the whole ‘connecting with characters first, action second’ angle is pretty neat and definitely reduced what I originally expected in terms of action sequences. Now, that may not be a good thing, but it’s a shift regardless. Just a stray thought.

Pokemon Go New Forced Update Brings Generation 3 – OtakuKart

Pokemon Go FORCED update is back.Pokemon Go is forcing an update to its player base and is intended to bring some amazing cool feature.Pokemon Go forced update are seen to bring major changes in the game.Recently Pokemon GO iOS players were forced to update PokemonGO to keep playing the game. As the history of Pokemon GO suggests force update always brings big events and new things. Whenever players are forced to update PokemonGO it’s usually a big change coming.

Previously when Niantic brought the force updates they changed and did code twerking now, players were getting only two items per PokeStop, with the tenth PokeStop bonus dropping four items for players. The change seems to affect items from gyms as well, although players can still get bonus items for either controlling a gym or having that gym’s medal.

But we can totally understand what this force might bring, yes it might bring Generation 3 ready gameplay.Generation 3 is supposed to launch in the first week of December and guess what..we are in the first week of December.Currently, Ho-Oh, one of the Johto region’s two legendary Pokémon, is now obtainable in Pokémon Go. But players will only have a short amount of time to catch the newest addition to the mobile game; it’s available just through Dec. 12.

It has now been confirmed that the new Pokemon Go Ho-Oh Raids are live worldwide.Trainers will start to find the new Raids popping up at random Gyms in their area, although it should be noted that Ho-Oh is a Legendary Pokemon, and therefore pretty tough to take down.

Niantic made this announcement which filled trainers with extream joy and enthusiasm.Player communities actually really loved this new raid Pokemon.Here’s what Niantic announced on its blog.

Niantic usually debuts legendary Pokémon (the massive, super strong Pokémon that require groups of up to 20 players to take down and capture) with a bit of fanfare, but this one showed up pretty much out of nowhere. If you weren’t paying attention to Niantic’s social media feeds or actively watching the nearby raids screen, it’d be easy to miss.

Especially because it sounds like it’s only going to be here for a little while.Ho-Oh Raids are available until December 12 to everyone, meaning that no EX Raid passes will be needed to participate.If you haven’t caught an amazing life-giving bird yet, there is another Pokemon Go event bonus coming your way.

While Niantic has confirmed that the worldwide Farfetch’d release is coming to an end very soon – trainers have until around 1 pm in the UK – there is another one being launched.

This new force update clearly gives all the players hint about some major upcoming update.What are your thoughts?Lemme hear you guys out in the comments or you can get connected with me on Snapchat-Vibsz16 and Instagram. Stay tuned.

Here is the list of Top 10 Gen 3 Pokemon That Are As Strong As Legendary Pokemon, and can help any player to capture and attack gyms.

Number 10 – Milotic

MAX CP- 2542
ATTACK – 60
DEFENSE – 79
STAMINA – 190

Milotic is an aquatic, serpentine Pokémon with a primarily cream-colored body. It has red eyes with long, pinkish antennae above them. Additionally, there are long, hair-like fins above its eyes, which begin thin and thicken towards the tips. These eyebrows extend to almost half of Milotic’s body length and will be longer on the female than the male. On top of its relatively small head is a straight spike. The tail consists of four large, blue fins with pink ovals in their centers. Each of the tail fins overlaps the next slightly, causing it to resemble a fan. While it has not been depicted, Milotic’s scales are said to change color depending on the viewing angle.

Number 9 – Flygon

MAX CP- 2458
ATTACK – 100
DEFENSE – 80
STAMINA – 160

Flygon resembles a slightly insectoid, bipedal dragon. It is primarily light green and has a pair of large rhombus-shaped wings with a red trim, toeless hind legs, and skinny arms with three-clawed hands. Its tail has several dark green stripes and three small green rhombus shapes with red trims at the end. It has large eyes and a pair of green antennae that point back. The eyes have red covers that prevent sand from getting into its eyes. With its wings, it kicks up sandstorms to hide. Its wings make a “singing” sound when they are flapped, earning Flygon the name “The Desert Spirit”. It lives in the desert.

Number 8 – Gardevoir

MAX CP- 2341
ATTACK – 65
DEFENSE – 65
STAMINA – 136

Beginning its life as Ralts (the Pokemon that kinda looks like male genitalia), it’s a little surprising it turns into Gardevoir – who looks a lot like some kind of elegant dancer (and a lot of other things, if you dare to venture into Google Image Search – which reminds us: NEVER GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH ANY POKEMON EVER BUT ESPECIALLY NOT GARDEVOIR). Apart from its traumatic internet legacy, it’s a pretty solid Pokemon (now one of the added Fairy-types), and its Pokedex entries indicate that it would do anything to protect its trainer. Always nice to know your Pokemon has Stockholm’s Syndrome.

Number 7 –….

Avengers Infinity War Trailer BreakDown: Vision Dies – OtakuKart

It’s been a long time coming, but Marvel has finally released the first teaser trailer for its upcoming superhero team-up to end all superhero team-ups, Avengers: Infinity War.The Avengers — and by that, I mean every single Avenger we’ve encountered throughout the past 10 years’ worth of Marvel movies — have assembled. And the first trailer for Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War has finally arrived.

As the clip shows, Infinity War is shaping up to be one of Marvel’s biggest movies ever, uniting the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and almost every other superhero Marvel has ever put on-screen in the 17 prior films over the last decade. All these heroes are banding together to face off against Thanos, the big bad that Marvel has been teasing since the post-credits scene of the first Avengers back in 2012.

Infinity War’s trailer begins by outlining the plan for the Avengers — assembling Earth’s mightiest heroes — and then showing how Thanos is going to tear it apart.“In time, you will know what it will be like to lose,” Thanos (Josh Brolin) says before the trailer cuts to shots of his invasion on Earth and him pummeling Iron Man.

Marvel first showed off a teaser all the way back in July at parent company Disney’s D23 Expo, and again at San Diego Comic-Con, but for the vast majority of fans who weren’t in the audiences at those events, the trailer marks the first look at the film.

Infinity War is set to be a major, game-changing film for Marvel — so big, in fact, that the story will spill over to a second, still-untitled Avengers movie set for release in 2019.Along with the trailer, Marvel has also released the first poster for the movie, which doesn’t do much but remind viewers that yes, this is, in fact, an Avengers movie (although the design is a bit of a stylistic nod to the first teaser posters for the original Avengers and Age of Ultron).

Ever since Avengers: Age of Ultron introduced Vision, fans have wondered how the events of Infinity War will affect him. This morning the first trailer was released and it doesn’t tease us with the answer. Vision was brought to life thanks to one of the Infinity Stones, which are the objects that Thanos is after, leading us to inevitable conclusion that Thanos would need to take down the Avengers and take the stone from his head. That’s exactly what the trailer shows us happening.

To be fair, there’s a lot of detail missing from the few seconds of trailer footage. We don’t actually see the stone come out of Vision, only him on the ground with a staff trying to wrench the object out of him. We also don’t see exactly who is wielding the staff. It could be Thanos, or it could be somebody working for him. Regardless, the question of what’s going to happen to Vision appears to have an answer, and it’s not good for the Avengers.

The question of what was going to happen to Vision wasn’t necessarily that hard to answer. Unless Thanos utterly failed to obtain all the Infinity Stones in the MCU version of this story, and we don’t expect that to be the case, then it was clear Vision was going to have the stone taken from him. The only question was when it would happen. While Avengers 4 is no longer being called Infinity War: Part 2, we do still expect that film to complete the story that this one starts, as such, it meant that whatever was going to happen to Vision might not happen in this film.

And it’s still barely possible that’s the case. As stated, we don’t actually see the stone get removed from Vision. It could be that the next shot after the one we see here is somebody coming in to save Vision at the last minute. It also doesn’t mean that Vision is going to die. While the stone gave him life and certainly gives him his abilities, we don’t know for certain that he needs it simply to continue living.

Interestingly, the trailer also shows us a new power that the Infinity Stone gives Vision. The power to look less like Vision.
