Hey, everyone!

Here’s what’s going in the world of Anime today:

• Some of the most shocking betrayals in anime history!

• Anime characters that got what they deserve thread caused major controversy on twitter!

• Anime characters in spider-man suits?! This AI did these characters right!

Some of the most shocking Anime betrayals ever!

First off, we have to mention Reiner, Bertholdt and Anne. Before we knew humans could turn into titans, back when Eren was innocent and just wanted to get revenge for his parents deaths, they all attended basic training together. They survived some of the most intense training possible, climbed entire mountains together, and they all had friends and grew to like each other over their hardships. That’s the only reason Reiner even said anything before he transformed and stabbed everyone in the back. He cared for them deeply..

Ryuk writes Light’s name in the Death Note.

Calling this a betrayal may be controversial to those who really paid attention. Ryuk never really cared about Light. So much so, that way later into the series Ryuk has to explain rules that he just “Forgot to go over”. This wasn’t the writers just adding new rules, these were rules Ryuk intentionally left out so that it would be more fun to watch Light struggle. He was only in it for fun. And at the end, instead of helping, Ryuk chose to write Light Yagami’s name down in the Death Note, securing his fate.

Did these Anime characters get what they deserved?

To start off with a bad one, Shou Tucker was an absolute menace and one of the worst people in anime in general. Watching this scene was like getting gifted an amazing present. This man most definitely got what he deserved.

But what about a good guy getting what they deserve?

“Getting what you deserve” doesn’t always have to be a bad thing. In the case of Naruto, we watched a young boy who was feared, mocked, and looked down on grow into a strong and dependable man that everyone respected. Not only did he become Hokage, but he also married the love of his life and had kids of his own. He got exactly what he deserved everything.

This AI perfected the spider suit look!

AI is a controversial topic when it comes to art, but it’s not going anywhere. It gets better and better every day and these images are just proof of that. Both of these images were generated by @SABO_SHINJI4 on Twitter! Gojo always looks fly, it’s kind of his thing, but the blue and black suit really fits him well, don’t you think?

JJK not your thing? Check out this Lelouch. It somehow managed to stylize the suit perfectly! Just look at that shine.

This one is by far my favorite of the ones @SABA_SHINJI4 posted. I could just see Lelouch walking into battle with this on. Or leading an army just casually wearing this. It’s perfectly proportional, the shoulder armor is an addition that I think even Lelouch would like, and the colors are amazing. All he’s missing is his mask and cape. It even chose the perfect background!

BlueLock sure loves mentioning real life celebrities, here are just a few!

Messi is an obvious one. It’s hard to talk about soccer, or football for anyone from overseas, at all without mentioning his name. For good reason, too. He’s amazing at what he does. His ability to read the game like a book, while also showing near perfect ball control at times is almost superhuman. He’s a monster on the field and that’s exactly what BlueLock promotes.

Messi isn’t the only one that is mentioned.

Ronaldo is also mentioned, as well as Pele. Some of the greatest in Soccer history. BlueLock doesn’t play around and watching it inspires this strange confidence. The things they teach in BlueLock may seem like it either wouldn’t work or maybe even childish, but a lot of what BlueLock has to say transfers over to real life, too. You have to want to be the best at what you do and never strive for less, even if sometimes that means you aren’t the best team player. Don’t do that for everything, people may not like you, but it certainly goes for any hobbies or games.

Trivia Time!

In BlueLock Isagi meets a lot of people, but 1 person in particular is able to boost Isagi’s ego like no other and became fast friends with him. Which character is that?

A. Nagi

B. Bachira

The answer is B! Nagi and Isagi didn’t become friends until much later. Bachira encouraged Nagi in the first challenge and was on his team for the first team-based challenge.
