>>153526833first for Chizu's Chizus
https://youtu.be/BwbHW8MeHDUmy only contact with power rangers was the occasional tv episode, and some random tokosatsu episodes more recently. don't really know what to expect.
>>153526833Weird crossover, but okay. Guess it can't be any worse than the turtles.
well, at least he's not named yojimbo.
it blew my mind to know power rangers and super sentai are two different things.
HIJIKI!?
>>153526936well the first is essentially an american rip-off of the second, so the confusion is understandable
>>153526900Huh, have we seen a deer person yet?
>>153526936I thought one was just a loose adaptation of the other. Like Macross and Robotech.
well, the fight choreography is fun.
>>153526866If you listened to the full theme song of MMPR and watched compilations of Kakuranger scenes out of context, then you're good.>>153526894You laugh, but this is one of extremely rare times they get it right.>>153526943>HijikiWE FINALLY FOUND HIM
lizard ninjas?
>>153526833Why? Why is this a thing? I get the TMNT crossovers but this is just bizarre.
>>153527071At least they're not Tengu
>>153527130I think money might be the primary reason...
>>153527002https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgj3nZWtOfA
huh. what did you think of it? to me it was bland like wall plaster.
>>153526900>>153526972I don't think we saw a Hippo either.
I read some issues from this series, they're pretty fun.
>>153527130It could've been worse. MMPR had a Naruto crossover.
So either the power rangers really suck or Usagi is just insanely strong.
>>153526965>Only human male besides Hikiji in an anthro worldHe's living the dream!
>>153527048what about getting it wrong on purpose?
>>153527190>MMPR had a Naruto crossoverNo fucking way
>>153526866PowerRanger was the shit growing up, cool fights, cool monsters and cool robots, what was not to like.
>>153527014He proved my theory of every human male is evil!Hikiji? Evil. Tamotsu? Evil. Olrik and Hijiki? Naturally evil.
>>153527180For a random crossover it was fine. At least good enough to introduce people to Usagi and give his series a shot.
ah! a bunraku assistant!
>>153527180I did not like the art, I did not like the story. I think there's a special kind of autism that comes with still being a power rangers fan.
>>153526972I did count one during the main series but it's arguable, I can try to find a pic after the storytime's done if you're interested
>>153527202The 80s turtles brought Usagi from another dimension were he fought the Shogun. And since he was from another reality and Japan naturally he spoke perfect english.
>>153527071He's got Lizard men. A solid choice for Sentai foot soldiers. >>153527138Or Tenga Warriors>>153527206I don't believe this. I know TMNT had one, but they have one with everybody.
>>153527206Actually, I stand corrected. It wasn't Power Rangers that crossed over with Naruto; it was TMNT
>>153527180Never watched power rangers, even though I owned a toy and apparently the show was on tv or at least available on VHS tapes around my time and place.So my opinion on this is "meh".Now if we could get a Usagi crossover with my favorite childhood cartoon Biker mice from mars THEN we'd be talking!
>>153527202See I'm more annoyed by them telling me not to get.
>>153527323Don't worry. It'll happen eventually.
>>153527326I'm watching an episode on youtube- what the fuck is this thing!?
as simple as that
lol, I wasn't expecting that
>>153527390It's awesome, that's what it is!In what other cartoon do you have macho mice men riding motorcycles, guzzling beer, listening heavy metal and fighting alien invaders who try to steal our natural resources while pretending to be locals wearing rubber masks?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvGDF94a_Ns
there's a bunch of new species here too. also is that donald duck?
the end, for today. I think this tmnt saturday cartoon series really lives up to its name, it's exactly hat it says on the tin no more no less. tomorrow we'll move on to the (much better, imo) tmnt crossover stories that we haven't seen yet.
>>153527345>>153527323Yeah, with the rate they were pimping out MMPR for cross promotions, it's bound to happen sooner or later. That or they'll do a Planet of the Apes team up.
>>153527390Power Rangers was a really formulaic show, the group is doing something, the main badguy schemes, monsters attack, the rangers fight them, monster grows, rangers get on their robots and blow the monster of the week up.Various thing are to be considered, the show is american actors spliced with Japanese scenes, trying to make two completely different stories from two different countries make sense as a single unified episode.
You know I think I'm honestly getting sick of my own nostalgia. I'm just getting tired of REMEMBER TMNT! REMEMBER GHOSTBUSTERS! WHAT IF THEY TEAMED UP! YOU HAD THOSE TOYS! Like okay yeah I did but that was almost forty years ago. I'd like to think my life has evolved at least a bit beyond knowing what Tigersharks is.
>>153527517>>153527390It's like you're watching saved by the bell and then suddenly there's a giant robot fight.
>>153527202This version of usagi looks like such a fat little chud
>>153526833You know what? I've been reading the whole storytime, but I'm going to pass on this. See you guys tomorrow.
>>153527632you didn't miss a whole lot. frankly we're just in white noise till we get to senso.
>>153527541More or less, The only appeal for me was the monster designs though I grew up watching Ninjastorm so I have a soft spot for that series.
>>153527471This is my cue! Since we had a TMNT story today, let's read another one! Thos one is by Stan Sakai himself and, as far as I know, it's his only purely TMNT story, set in the Archie comic universe. Enjoy!Also:>mandatory Usagi cameo
>>153527762Fair warning: Archie continuity was weird. Magical animals here, punching Hitler there, massacre of Mutanimals and them burning in hell everywhere.
>>153527796Remember when I said I will not contribute much this year? And then I started finding obscure Sakai stuff, lol.
>>153527837Ok, so when I said this will be a TMNT story, what I actually meant is it's going to be a TMNT story in about 30%.
>>153527856
>>153527881
>>153527897
>>153527916
>>153527936
>>153527001The Super Sentai franchise is much older. It started in 1975. The Power Rangers franchise started in 1993
>>153527955
>>153527973I am not going to explain a giant floating interdimensional cow head.
>>153527762I like how derpy the turtles look.
>>153528005Anyway, good to have the turtles back in their own comic.
>>153528022
>>153528043And that's all, folks! This time I really am out of new old material.
>>153528005His name is Cudley. He can travel dimensions.He's canon to every TMNT universe at once.
>>153528005Not relevant to anything, but I'm imagining that narration in the voice of Karl the deranged while this plays in the background.https://youtu.be/KT-GKRxNRk0?si=S82qor_mRjwF-i5k&t=35
>>153527180>what did you think of it?Art was about what one might expect from a nostalgia baiting crossover. Usagi looked wrong.
>>153528091Well at least he didn't give in to peer pressure.
>>153527762neat
>>153527856stupid barbarians
>>153528091time to start digging for old new material then.
>>153527740At this point though there's no reason not to just watch the super sentai versions. Caring about Power Rangers as a brand is like still fixating on Robotech instead of Macross. It's still interesting in a historical context but you're purposely getting a watered down version.
>>153528005I don't like this. I don't like this at all. Make it go away.
>>153528380He's just a friendly disembodied flying cow head, Anon.
>>153528460I hate him
>>153528460making it look realer is just making it look worse
>>153528697Yeah, AC Farley was a weird choice.How about a Dario Brizuela?
makes me curious why mighty morphin power rangers instead of any other ranger set?
>>15352875890s nostalgia
>>153528758Weren't they the most popular ones in the states?
>>153527796>massacre of Mutanimals and them burning in hell everywhereHey, I remember that! That was weird. I also remember the jaguar guy who was part of the Mutanimals had a human mother and it was made pretty explicit that she'd been fucked by some kind of Aztec spirit on top of a pyramid? Very peculiar for a kids' comic.
>>153528829A jaguar Aztec spirit. So its some kinda...necro furry thing.
>>153527454Lmao Gen doing his best to be a background character. Dude saw Usagi hanging out with ninja kappa and decided he doesn't want to complicate his life that hard.
>>153528117That doesn't make it better.>>153528460>>153528642>>153528697>>153528732Look, there are many weird things in comics, which become much cooler once you read the damn book and learn the context.Cudley is not one of them.
>>153528893Would it help if you knew he and the turtles once met the Wild West C.O.W. Boys of Moo Mesa?
>>153528915No. And shut up.
>>153528915TMNT is a conceptual mess and I'm done pretending otherwise.
>>153529162>>153529248Some niggaz ain't never met a fugitoid and it shows
>>153528790>>153528795makes you wonder how old the average reader of these comics is
>>153528829>>153528844It was even weirder than that, she was wearing a jaguar-skin bikini the whole time and was deliberately drawn to look like Linda Hamilton. Someone's extremely thinly veiled fetish.
>>153527881>Janitor, What is best in life? >To crush the shitposters, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of the feminine chuds and do it for free...
>>153527107Holy fucking shit the Dragonzord in Fighting Mode. I didn't know the comics even knew this formation existed.
>>153527180It was entertaining enough for what it was. A solid entry in the world of dumb crossover events.
>>153527479>>with the rate they were pimping out MMPR for cross promotions>Godzilla (twice)>Justice League>TMNT (thrice)>Usagi YojimboI can't remember any others off the top of my head. Did they ever do anything with Marvel?
>>153527232And all* human females are actually yokai in disguise* (it was only one so margin of error is like +/- 99%)
>>153527180Is it considered gauche to include Trini in stuff when the actress died forever ago? I can't help but feel like it's a bit in bad taste.
>>153527286>The Shogun's elite warriors>And also Gen was there, because somebody paid him
>>153529635Going off of that logic, they can't include Tommy anymore, either...
>>153529666He says as they just announced yet another Tommy spinoff comic.
>>153529666Aw fuck I actually forgot about that.
>>153527437>the little bat underwearThat's amazing, lol
>>153528346I dunno. The novelizations were pretty good. Did a lot to fill in the world and try and make sense of some of the series more unhinged moments.
>>153528795Most popular by far, and I think it's not even close. If you wanna make any money at all off Power Rangers, MMPR is your best bet.
>>153528346It's time to settle this as /m/en of culture: are you team Super Dimension Fortress Kenichi, or Rabbitcross?
>>153529248Yeah, I love TMNT, but this. One of the best things the IDW run did was clean up all that rough stuff and make it all fit together better. Shame the comic fell apart later on, I stopped reading in the 100s because it became an unfocused mess. I still need to read the Archie run one of these days, when I'm in the mood for some batshit insane TMNT nonsense. I've read literally everything else at least once, and more than once for the Mirage run
>>153528758The most recognizable ones, the original and theirs was the longest running continuity.
>>153527180Bland is the best way to describe it. It is aggressively mediocre in every category. I don't know how else to verbalize it other than to say it lacks SOVL, as memebrainrotted as that term is.
>>153527454Donard Duck
>>153526840Post favorite monster
>>153527326I could see that work better.>We'll never get to Edo in time to warn them of the evil alien army.>Lucky we have something faster that a horse.
>>153528346I think is a little different, Robotech is just americanized Macross, Power Ranger has a completelly diferent story from Super Sentai. The sentai show could be about a group of secret goverment agents turn into cyborgs and the american version would have teenagers and a funky animal mascot, or to the contrary the japanese version would be a light hearted story about teenagers and their talking cars that turn into robots and the american version is this edgy terminator future were humanity is almost extinct.
>>153528091I seem to remember Stan doing an issue for Queen & Country.
>>153530538All the conflict is still ultimately just stealing from the tokusatsu show.
>>153530948>stealingokay
I can't believe Saban was so greedy it actually destroyed Super Sentai as a brand in Japan.
>>153527154red ranger looks like gohan in this comic
I liked that this crossover is also canon to the tmnt/pr crossover
>>153531043They did?
>>153532066Unsure the causal effect and history, but overall Anon's referring to the fact Super Sentai has been cancelled, replaced with a revival of the Metal Heroes line that's clearly just kind of forcing Metal Heroes into a Super Sentai template, and the recurring assumption that one of the main motivators is it'll allow Toei full control internationally of the new shows as opposed as to how it worked with Super Sentai where many markets had Power Rangers instead
>>153527071KOBOLDS
>>153532066>>153532117According to interviews, the main reason why Sentai ended was due to increasing costs of TV show production and low toy sales. Ultraman and Kamen Rider are similarly hit with these, but anons on (formerly) /ssg/ speculate that the fact that Toei cannot market Super Sentai internationally due to Saban's contract regarding Power Rangers is also a major factor, hence why they're replacing it with Project R.E.D.
There was also that game Chroma Squad which was strongarmed into putting a INSPIRED BY SABAN'Sâ„¢ Power Rangersâ„¢ logo on their game.
>>153530027>I still need to read the Archie run one of these days, when I'm in the mood for some batshit insane TMNT nonsense.You should get he Compendiums coming out.
>>153532176>peculate that the fact that Toei cannot market Super Sentai internationally due to Saban's contract regarding Power RangersSaban is dead. Its Hasbro now, and they have no desire to use Sentai footage anymore (well, they let PR die in general, but even before then they were backing off using Sentai).
>>153530920Here we go, my memory was slightly off- it wasn't a full issue but a volume extra in one of the hardcover TPBs. It's sort of an interlude to a larger story so it doesn't mean much out of context. But I'll post it anyway since this seems like a good thread for things that don't make sense.
>>153532578
>>153532550Hasbro might not know what to do with Power Rangers now, but it doesn't change the fact that they have inherited Saban's contract with Toei regarding Power Rangers/Super Sentai, so if Toei goes about marketing Super Sentai in the West, Hasbro can theoretically legally go after them for breach of contract. Granted, we're all just anons on a Mongolian basket weaving forum, so who knows what's actually in these contracts. It's mostly just speculation as to why Toei can't market Super Sentai in the west the same way they're doing for Kamen Rider. It could come out that Saban's/Hasbro's Power Rangers contract has nothing to do with it and idiots on /m/ and /ssg/ would still say it's the reason why Sentai got canned
>>153532591
>>153532601Apparently a big part of it was Japan getting a cut of Power Rangers toy sales. No PR, less money. So Japan can't afford to keep Sentai going.
>>153532612
>>153528346Finding out that Robotech is three different shows fused together and that there was an actual American continuation of the series that only had a pilot movie but nothing more is crazy to me. I know the stuff behind the scenes is scummy but I appreciate the series for what it was.
>>153532630
>>153532652And that's all there is, just six pages with an open ending.
>>153527180I'm a fan of Ryan Parrott's Power Rangers and I get that this was a crossover he wanted to do but I feel like it could have done more
>>153532694Man, that's a real weird little episode. Very atypical for Stan.
>>153530948>stealingThey literally got official permission Hell, as bad as the contract was in the long run Power Rangers' toy sales in the West helped subsidize Super Sentai during its weaker years Like it or not if Power Rangers never happened, Sentai would have died earlier
>>153532775The script and scenario is by Greg Rucka, the writer for Queen & Country, which is a spy/espionage sort of story.
>>153532578>Stan Sakai draws the most whimsical and peaceful day in the former YugoslaviaThis is fucking nuts. I love it.
>>153529819Oh good, someone said it.2nd generation was best.
Stan also did rose of Satoshi Urushihara's "Chirality", yet Satoshi didn't draw any of Tomoe, Kitsune, or Chizu in return.
Auditanon here. No deaths, no screams, I'm on furlough. I'll have to wait again.
>>153532992otoh drawing them nude with human pubes would be overkill
>>153527522>>153527261Anon from the Kaito '84 criticized it for leaning too heavily into memberberries territory, but this slop is peak memberberries and yeah, it is extremely fatiguing. Because you know no one who wasn't an adolescent in the 90s and is desperately clutching on to that show still, either out of general millenial manchild-ness, or some deeper form of autistic Sonichu-esque/bronies obsession, is going to care about MMPR in the LATE 2020s that we are now in.
>>153532996We've got to open the Straits of Dan-no-Ura! People are literally losing their jobs over this!
>>153532640>is three different shows fused togetherFeels like a fanfiction work or a 4chan shitpost come to life and somehow spawning a small media cult following>bro what if this ninja girl from this anthromorphic comic book series>was actually Metal Gear SolidImagine this actually getting 12 episodes on Netflix but it's just all the cutscenes from The Phantom Pain edited to be Chizu and AI-dubbed to be about killing Kagemaru.
>>153526833Red Ranger got them t-rex arms
>>153526894>fighting for those that can pay>...and for those who cannot fight themselvesThat is such an exaggeration it almost is a lie. Usagi has a terrible record of protecting paying customers and protecting those that cant fight is more about punishing dishonorable behavior and his need to meddle in every matter.
>>153533486all the crossovers have a bad habit of making usagi to be more of a saturday morning cartoon hero who goes out looking for people to save instead of the lone wanderer who just meddles his way into trouble out of a good conscience
>>153532628Doesn't help that Hasbro is in league with Bandai Namco's rival company, Takara Tomy.
>>153529990Yojimbo Plus>Usagi is Imasu>Kenichi is Guld
>>153529985Hey, more power to them, but they're not even the best PR team. That goes to Space or Timeforce.
>>153530324More like Howard the Duck IMO. Or better yet, a duck from Glorantha.
>>153533025I don't know about thatNow that I think about it would the humanimals have>pubes the color of their hairor>pubes the color of their fur
>>153532992This was meant to say fanart. I swear autocorrect can be a pain in the ass at times
>>153532882I see. So what was the point of bringing Stan in for art on half a dozen pages?
>>153534683The series rotates artists between episodes so I would assume that Stan was on Rucka's list of people he wanted to work with. Why only six pages is anyone's guess, maybe Stan's schedule at the time didn't allow for a longer project or maybe Rucka didn't think readers would accept a full storyline by Sakai (I remember some talk about readers complaining about some of the other artists involved being "too cartoony" so Stan's art would probably cheese those folks off even more).
>>1535295674 times with TMNT thanks to that one team up episode in the IN SPACE! series. Kinda had one with an attempt for an American Kamen Rider in the 90s. And as other anons mentioned, there was a Street Fighter collab a few years back and well this. So throw GI Joe and Transformers in too.
>>153535003I wish I could be 1% as happy as Mindbender is in that moment.
>>153535041I feel like most of the design is literal just Shockwave and Mindbender. Zedd gives what? The chestplate, the gloves, and his half of his face.
>>153533705I just want a decent Bike Robo/ Cy-Kill figure.
>>153532942Pick one: Feudal Japan or post-Cold War Yugoslavia
>>153535260is killing myself an option?
>>153535260On the one hand, modern medicine and conveniences, on the other hand, feudal Japan is very pretty in the times and places when it's not currently full of death and misery. Thinking about it, I think I'd opt for the Shogun's peace, knowing that the big horrific war is behind me there, while it's rushing towards me from the horizon in post-Cold War Yugoslavia. There's no guarantee I won't be killed by horrible Yokai or by some bushido butthole who thinks I'm a foreign kirishitan devil who was looking at him funny, but if I can hang out in a small farming village nobody wants to conquer, helping tend the fields, I might be okay.
>>153535299Yes, but you'll end up reincarnated in India.
>>153535374ah fuck
>>153526833>>153526866>don't really know what to expect.I expect if it were japanese, that it would be like one of those crazy gag crossovers that I would read in the anthologies back with the grade number on the cover.But it looks like the've bought in wholesale, of the mix between shonen manga and western comics styles here. >>153527009>>153526994>>153527002Hard think panel lines, that break down, to manga speedlines, with characters literally bursting past the frames, and the frames themselves breaking. I was expecting completely low effort licenced trash or tokyopop class garbage.>>153527001Eh close enough. I woudln't even call it an addaptation for most of it anymore. As the western side got more budget, they decided to do more of their own shit.
>>153535299He already said post-Cold War Yugoslavia.
>>153526959I remember visiting the midwest once a long time ago. Met people who loved the fuck out of Robotech. Told them there was more.They were not prepared for Macross 7, with guitar powered combat.>>153527071My frirst read was aquatic. They look like kappa with no head dish.
>>153527181Hippos would be a good fit for a bunch of pirate if Stan did a wokou story.
>>153535498They breathe fire though, so dragon ninjas (vs bad dudes?)
>>153527130>>153527154Stan loosening up and letting other people make shit with Usagi. The amount of effort here is too high and sales low for it to be JUST money. Stan was a little old for the MMPR explosion, but he would have grown up with the Card type Super Sentai a little. MMPR wants to make crossovers with everyone.I think some artists and writers made a pitch to stan, and got fucking paid.If you're ryan parrott, why not make the pitch?
>>153527604Take a look at the action figure verstion.
>>153534530This exact question is why I changed one of my character designs to have hair the same color as body fur.For Usagi I would say hair color pubes for maximum Asian vibe.
>>153527180Clearly not Stan Sakai's shit, but fine for the one shot bait by and for people trying to get their childhood back.
>>153527390Three adjectives and an animal. >>153527522You should be building jawsome things for the next generation.
>>153527897Looking at how much a mint copy of TMNT goes for now... 500 for any condition. highest graded sale above 40k.
>>153528758Because they never properly established generational handoffs to make it as evergreeen as the toku shit.
>>153532942Damn you, post war Bosnia!
>>153529635No more than Mifune or making Date Masamuna a bishonen, or making Carl Yeager a big boobed teenage girl with rocket boots, or whatever the FUCK ikki tousen was.
>>153532176>>153532601I mean one of the requirements of the PR contract might be that whoever has the US licence must make some sort of attempt at shit, even if it makes zero money. It might be a leading reason to make a comic that makes zero dollars like this one.
>>153530356I grew up with the JP version, so I'm betting this guy never got localized, but the walking pile of marijuana dreadlocks with the red black yellow and green knit hat that had poision clouds that made people loopy.
>>153535260Yugoslavia only lasts for a few years.>>153535299You think you have earned the right to seppuku? You think you own your body to kill yourself? in Yugoslavia? Your relatives will have to pay for that debt.
>>153535374>>153535395...and before you get to reincarnate you get to spend time in one of Lord Enma's hells for trying to cheat the system.
>>153535777>Yugoslavia only lasts for a few yearsthe carpet bombing lasts a lifetime
>>153535794that's preferable to being born hindu
>>153533525True. Usagi is a good guy, but he isn't Batman, saving people isn't his job. Even Sasuke, the most heroic character in the comic, focuses on killing evil monsters and not on helping everyone in need.
>>153534853People disliking comics for looking even slightly cartoony are cancer on society.>>153535634Remember that most expensive things that were once mass produced aren't really worth their price, but are used to launder money or avoid taxation under the guise of rare collectibles.
>>153527097... it looks like a Sonic the Hedgehog character.
>>153536152It does, huh? I think it's the big forearms/hands.
>>153527180I thought the guy was going to become a dragon himself but I guess they decided against that. The art, kinda sucks like when you look at anyone's hands or Usagi's ears being hair in every shot.Usagi never got his own ranger suit, that was terrible.
>>153532578Soundtrack time!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9zWBAC0hi0
>>153526936Wizard of Oz caused irreparable damage to "out of this world" storytelling.
>>153536803in what regard?
>>153535260>>153535372>>153535777Man this little shitpost doodle really coming in handy. I swear I had no idea Stan did a short mini-comic for this series.
This is literally the first Usagi Yojimbo story I've ever read and I don't like the art style. If I didn't know he was supposed to be a rabbit I'd have no idea just from looking at him.
>>153537527>the first story i've read is a crossover by an unrelated writer and artist and not any of the 40+ previous story time threads
>>153537527My condolences anon, I can't think of a worse place to jump into Usagi.
>>153527043>"You believed him because he was human."Uh, no? He was just the only one explaining anything. By the time anyone else was saying anything, they were already tricked into attacking the village. And the stopped the moment they realized it was BS.
>>153532578Is it weird I'm seeing a shootout but I just weirdly nistalgic for the truck with the wooden frame?
>>153537527Read the storytimes for the actual comic anon, not the spin-off crossover by a different artist. We're near the end anyways you are LATE
>>153532630>>153532652>>153532578Again just like the story about the shoguns blacksmith who makes a deal with Oni devils, the humans here are a world of difference to 47 ronin
>>153526887Usagi is not one for inner monologuing, come on now.
>>153526894He's so...lanky. It kinda reminds me of mid 2000s Sonic, it's bizarre.
>>153533525It's the same with the Mirage TMNT comics. Every crossover hypes them up as this super gritty and serious version of the TMNT, meanwhile the actual comics they came from are just as wacky and juvenile as the 80s cartoon past the first issue.
>>153526900Dude just dropped Thor's hammer.
>>153526907>what's a boar?>this entire conversation Kek, okay that's pretty good.
>>153532601Whats up with Japanese countries basically saying; Ok I get to distribute my show in Japan and maybe Korea and you get the exclusive powers to do whatever you want with it in every single part of the world but Japan.
>>153526936This artist was definitely inspired by Akira Toriyama.
>>153537842Then why aren't the girls boobs bigger?Toriyama-sama wouldn't have settled for anything less than double D's.
>>153526965Man, this would be so cool if Stan decides to adopt this concept as to why Hikiji's a human. Hikiji being technically an alien raised in an animal planet would explain a lot.
>>153527002That tengu training is putting in the work here.
>>153527026https://youtu.be/WzXBcc_cHe0
>>153537875This isn't too far off the original concept; when UY was still intended to be a limited side series introducing a major secondary character into the Nilson Groundthumper comic, the idea was that Hikiji was an alien invader from the human world, intending to take over the entire animal world starting from Animal Japan. Stan was planning to have the Nilson comic end with an all out assault on Hikiji's fortress in Animutsu.
>>153527062>"Look, I kicked your ass back there. Hard. You got no chance going at this alone."
>>153527076Power Rangers Samurai!
>>153527097Okay, that's pretty cool.
>>153527123https://youtu.be/Uwbqr2UjeSg
>>153527137>dude is trapped, lost in a void foreverDamn, he was better off just dying there.
>>153527173I wonder if this is why he decided to allow Yukichi to tag along.
>>153527180I thought it was alright. Art was a bit wonky, but had a good sense of motion to it. Overall I'd put it above shit like the Sonic x DC crossover.
>>153535544I'm surprised he hasn't done a story centered around piracy.
>>153537527Yeah, it's no Mother of Mountains or the Hidden. You're 2000 and late for the Storytime
>>153538003Samurai Jack x Usagi Yojimbo is the crossover we really need
>>153538096What for? We have plenty of piracy during this storytime.>Ba-dum-tsss!
>>153538244God, that would be WAY cooler than this junk.
>>153538264
>>153526894>>153526900Ok, this has been bothering all day, but I finally can point out what is bothering me with Usagi. He looks like Lord Kiyoshi from Space Usagi.
>>153526900I would that Deer Gilf
>>153539151It's the narrow head and the hair. #notmyUsagi
