Ok, my wrists are certainly getting better, I don't wanna promise to much... but I will most likely start to get back into the regular one post every other day sometime after Comic-Con, which by the way I will be going to on the 24th. I will most likely have a few videos from Comic-Con uploaded on like the 24th (put really late) or the 25th... put I won't make any guarintees. Ok so let's get this show on the road... just random topics is all this post will be... Oh right, I almost forgot, I just wanna thank anyone who actually stuck with me and my blog even with my lack of updates, however I'm pretty sure that I'm thanking nobody because I don't think I've had people visiting my blog for a LONG time.
1. Plans for future posts:
All I can say is that because of my lack of Weekly Jump posts... I will most likely pick a random day to do one HUGE Weekly Jump post summarizing every chapter from where I left off to the current chapter... but I don't know when I'll do that.
2. Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded trailer
Ok, so if you haven't seen the trailer for Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded trailer yet then you can see it here. This trailer actually surprised me, I mean, I wanted the game because it was a chance for me to actually play coded, since I don't think I can afford a Japanese cell phone with a Japanese cell phone plan... but now that I see it's mixing in like 3 or 4 different gameplay elements I am seriously crossing my fingers for localization. Of course, on the strange off chance it will be a Japan excluse I will still import it.
3. Bleach Heat the Soul 7 Roster
Apparently the number of characters in Heat the Soul 7 was leaked by a retailer known as Game Star, and it is apparently 84 characters. Ok, I know that when Eighting announces character lists for Heat the Soul, they count transfermations, but this wasn't announced by them so this might not count transformations. Of course the key words are MIGHT NOT. Read the full article here.
4. No More Heroes 2: Hopper Edition
Final topic for this post, ok, so not only is Japan finally getting No More Heroes 2, they get a shiny awesome special edition. This special edition encludes a movie entitled "No More Heroes 1.5", a Soundtrack, and uhh some sort of art book or somethin. Oh, and apparently if you pre-order it you get an... am... am I reading this right? Uhhh, apparently if you pre-order you get an "erotica comic"... Anyway, it'll retail in Japan for something around $100 if I'm not mistaken... I am pretty sure it will be a Japan exclusive, and if it is I will still most likely be getting it. Read more info on it here.

No More Heroes 2 Short Review
Ok so out of the three games I got that came out on the 26th, No More Heroes 2 was my favorite, I like Tatsunoko Vs Capcom and MAG (well I actually GOT MAG on the 29th...) but No More Heroes 2, much like it's predecessor, was a masterpiece of wonderfulness. First off let me say that the 8-bit mini-games were a great idea and are very addicting and since you don't have to pay for every ranked match, making money isn't as tedious as the first game, well tedious would be a strong word to use... Anyway the only two mini-games I don't like are the tile one, but to be fair I only dislike it because it's like a game for people with the IQ of Albert Einstein and the Scorpion one, you know the one that's not 8-bit, yeah I just didn't like that one... Also I think that pretty much every boss was imaginative and memorable (except for Million Gunman, I forget his name all the time and sometimes just forget that there were two bosses you fight as Shinobu) also, seeing who was going to be next was just as awesome as the original, oh and now they have this mode called "Death Match" that you unlock after beating the game and holy crap it's awesome, you basically replay all the bosses, but the only problem is, that you fight them on like bitter mode or something because I only got Million Gunman to half freakin health. Anyway, speaking of Bitter mode, it's in the game... and it's hard... and I mean freakin pull out your hair, yell at your TV, throw your Wii Remote, impossibly HARD, seriously I couldn't even beat Skelter Helter on Bitter and you can hardly even consider him a boss since he's so easy. Also, you can play this game with a classic controller and trust me it's way better that way, on my first playthrough I used the Wii Remote and Nunchuck so that it would feel like the original, but then on my second playthorugh I used the classic controller, and holy crap, it was awesome, seriously I urge you to the classic controller for this game, it also makes the 8-bit games feel more... what's the word... I guess "smooth" would be the word. Also, play as Shinobu feels a little bit awkward when jumping, really it's not the worst jumping mechanics I've ever seen and hardly noticed it in the second boss that Shinobu fights, and playing as Henry feels like playing as Travis, but with no charging and with a dash move instead of melee, and trust me that dash move will make you wish you had it for the whole game. In conclusion, this game is totally worth it and the story will really be the main selling point, and if you already have the first one, then what the hell are you waiting for, you should already have this game.

Top 5 Games of 2010 I Am Hyped Up For
It has been a while since I did a major post about video games or a nice top 5 or top 10 list, and after all I am the GAMING Otaku so let's do this. This list is basically the top 5 games I seriously can't wait for in 2010, and since this is not a top 6 list, and I won't have the money to get it when it comes out anyway, Bayonetta will not be on this list. And believe me when I say this, this list was a tough one to put in order of preference. Oh and last little message, I am gonna be using pictures for this post again (why did I stop doing that in the first place?).
5. MAG
Ok so I MIGHT not get MAG on the day it comes out but it does look pretty awesome, I mean over 200 people playing online at the same time? Sounds either awesome or like quite the problem. I am most likely going to wait a while after the game comes out and read/watch a few reviews to see if the maps are big enough to make it so that you aren't sniped the second you respawn... every time, or if the servers can handle all those players at one time, ect. Then if all is positive I will save up my money and enjoy the massively multiplayer mayhem... hey I just made that up on the spot, cool.
4. Tatsunoko Vs Capcom: Ultimate All Stars
I already own the original version of this game in Japanese but wow it'll be great to play it in my own language and those new characters will be awesome. Since I love the "Vs" series so much I really don't mind buying this game a second time and it's actually sort of my way of saying thanks to Capcom for going through the nightmare of having to localize it and show how much of a dedicated fan I am. I had trouble fitting my Christmas presents onto my game shelf but let's just hope I can make room for this game and the next on my list this month on my most crammed shelf of all, the Wii game shelf.
3. No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
Ok so I kind of hate myself for putting this so low on the list I mean I already have the money for this game (and Tatsunoko Vs Capcom) saved up already and if this were a list of my top 5 January 2010 games, believe me this would be number 1. Now that I got that out of the way, I seriously can't wait for this game and I just rush over to the Gamefaqs board for it almost everyday just hoping that a new scan or a new trailer is out for it because it is just going to be an amazing game. Thanks to the original No More Heroes I now know so much about Suda51 games and their awesomeness. I really don't know what else to say about this game since it is just going to be so great.
2. Super Mario Galaxy 2
It seems with Nintendo, they always like to show us a trailer or a teaser, then vaguely give us the year of release and then focus on something else with their new big titles, I don't feel left in the dark or anything I just kind of feel like I want the game more, and that seems to be the case with Super Mario Galaxy 2, I haven't checked for ant new info recently but that's because there wasn't any for pretty much ever so I just keep assuming Xplay will probably inform me when new info finally rises. I seriously can't wait for this game and over the Thanksgiving break back in November I replayed the original and want Galaxy 2 EVEN more. I really hope this game doesn't get pushed back since we were only given the year of release (2010) and when it comes to Mario games they usually do delay them a bit.
1. Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep
I know what plenty of you are thinking so let me just say first what Nintendo fanboys are thinking, then what Square Enix fanboys are thinking, *ahem* Nintendo fanboy: "HOW COULD YOU THINK THIS JAPANESE BULL**** IS BETTER THAN MARIO?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!" and SE fanboy: "He is one of us!" Sorry bout that but I'm pretty sure that is exactly what you were thinking Nintendo and Square Enix fanboys so let me just say this, I am not a Square Enix fanboy and I am just somehow more excited for this game than Galaxy 2, but I mean if I could just simply put them both as number one then I would but I had to make the decision and I just think that Birth By Sleep will pretty much count more as a real (not, real... but... uhh not portable is kinda what I meant) Kingdom Hearts game instead of a "portable" game, like Chain of Memories, I am sort of in between with 358/2 days since I don't count it as the same thing as Chain of Memories (even though I did like that game) but I'm not sure if you could really put it in league with the home console games, sorry if this is sounding confusing I'm not trying to make it so confusing. Anyway from what I have seen so far I look forward to buying this game when it comes out in the US because I don't import RPG games.
5. MAG
Ok so I MIGHT not get MAG on the day it comes out but it does look pretty awesome, I mean over 200 people playing online at the same time? Sounds either awesome or like quite the problem.

Accel 3 VS Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 (and other stuff)
Ok, I am sooo sorry that this post is late I really apologies for that, I was actually planning on getting it to you way earlier than this but some stuff came up and... It's a long story but I promise not to make a habit out of it.
Anyway This is going to be my view on the whole Accel 3 VS Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3. Now let me start off by saying that I will actually be buying both games, Accel 3 for Christmas and Ultimate Ninja Heroes with my own money whenever it comes out. Now people keep saying that they will be cutting the game for the American version and everyone is complaining about that. What they are going to do is have the story go up to Hidan and Kakuzu and still have team Hebi and Kakashi Chronicles but they will most likely cut out every path or body of Pein or whatever you call it, Konan, and Sage Mode Jiraiya. It hasn't been confirmed that they will cut them out but I am pretty sure. Also the people who keep complaining need to stop and realize that we are lucky and should thank CC2 that we actually get the story all the way up to Hidan and Kakuzu, and that we get team Hebi, and that we get the Kakashi Chronicles characters. As far as I know every other feature is still in the game so it's not that much to complain about. Plus, we should also think of ourselves as lucky for getting this game at all. Also, I think it's a really good plus for people who don't know Japanese that Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 is in English, and for me my friends are more likely to get Heroes 3 so I can actually play multiplayer with them. Err... that's all I have to say... but since this post took so long I don't want people to feel like they waited longer for something not as good so I will move onto another topic!
Ok something else... Oh about that Live Action Gantz movie, I have a small bit of news that I forgot to put in the original post, apparently the person playing Kato in the movie will be the same actor who played L in the Live Action Death Note movies so that's a plus. Oh Viewtiful Joe fans who liked the anime (like me) head over to Rightstuf.com because the Viewtiful Joe DVDs are only TWO DOLLARS!!! forget whatever other stuff is on sale I bought the whole series of Viewtiful Joe (plus a Viewtiful Joe action figure) for only $18!!! What are you doing still reading this, this isn't product placement I'm just saying that I just bought them and the anime is way more awesome than I remember and now I'm replaying all of the games like crazy. Uhhh... What else... I seriously have nothing else to talk about and I really want to get this post out so people don't think I forgot or something. Anyway sorry about this lame post I will try to do something like a list for my next post to make up for this.

No More Heroes HD Remake and Live Action Gantz Movie?
Ok well I wrote this when this news was new, so let me explain how I heard about this. Well I usually watch G4 in the morning to kill some time before I have to go to school and as I was watching something caught my eye, the words No More Heroes, Xbox 360, and PS3 were all in the same sentence, it was one of those little news updates on the bottom of like any G4 show and well it said Weekly Famitsu reported that No More Heroes was being remade on the PS3 and 360. It was brief and I only read about half of it because I caught it just before it went off the screen so I just thought it might have been fake or something like that. But sure enough when I got home I checked online and... well, it's true... Apperantly though since the Xbox 360's sales in Japan are worse than the virtual boy (just an estimate, I'm sure their sales aren't THAT bad) Japan will receive the uncensored version of the game, but get this, only on the Xbox 360, it will be rated a very rare Cero Z (Cero is the Japanese rating system and think of Cero Z as the Japanese AO rating) which, of course means that the PS3 version will be censored. That just made me think "What are you doing Suda?" but here is where it gets interesting... you see Suda51 has nothing to do with this port, well to the best of my knowledge it's just Marvelous doing this. There has been no announcement for an American release but on a completely unrelated note there will be a new gameplay mode called "Super Sweet Mode" where all of the female bosses will be wearing really revealing clothing... not sure why I mentioned that but I felt like it just had to be thrown out there.
Anyway here are links to the original scans from Weekly Famitsu:

http://www.siliconera.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/nma2.jpg
Well, I always talked about how if it was put into the right hands a live action Gantz movie would totally kick ass, now that that's acutally happened, I still feel a bit nervous. Allow me to explain, I was browsing around the Young Jump website to see if I could find a pictures of the most current Young Jump (so that my dad's friend in Japan could get me one) but I came across something else... this: http://yj.shueisha.co.jp/gantzspecial/ so I thought "Is this like an ad for Gantz Final Phase?" or "Is this like an announcement for a new season of the Gantz anime?" well no I was wrong and found out I was wrong when I tried to save the ad into my pictures and the file name was "gantz_movie_01" so naturally since the word CG was all over the ad I assumed it was a CGI gantz movie and that sounded awesome, but then I saw the name of the third Death Note movie in the corner and decided to google Gantz Movie and I found an article that said they were making two live action movies. At first when I heard they were going to be made by the same guy who made the Death Note movies I had nothing to fear until I came across one little thing in the article... "The Sponichi Annex reports that the Gantz films will be targeted at mainstream audiences, suggesting that some of the graphic violence of the original manga may be toned down for the movies." seriously read the article for yourself: http://www.animenation.net/blog/2009/10/08/live-action-gantz-movies-announced/ well, after reading that I was dissapointed and honastly if they keep the stupid nudity and sex scenes in I will be so pissed off that they couldn't make room for the violence. Either way I can't judge the movies til they come out in 2011, and I assure you if they by some strange desition either get overdubbed or officially subtitled I will watch them and hope for the best.
For more info on the Gantz live action movies just check out this article at: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-10-07/gantz-manga-being-adapted-into-live-action-film and remember I post every other day and please tell your friends about my blog.

Top 10 Video Game Bosses
This is my pick for the top 10 best video game bosses, now this is only my opinion so no flame wars in the comment section, and I will not include obvious ones like Bowser or Dr Wily, these are my top picks.
10. The King of Sorrow - Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil
Ok so either your thinking "what the hell is klonoa" or "wait didn't that wii game just come out, when was there a sequel?" I'm talking about the ps2 sequel to the original ps1 Klonoa game (that the wii remake is based on) and the King of Sorrow is the main bad guy of the game and to be honest the game kinda makes you feel bad for the guy, also if you actually get to him in the game it'll make you say "This guy is like if freakin Super Saiyan Goku and Sephiroth fused together" he is so awesome he like sends you to a sonic the hedgehog 2 special stage dimension for the first half of the boss fight.
9. Metaknight - Kirby... uhh... like every kirby game... there we go
Ahhhh Metaknight, I remember playing kirby nightmare in dreamland on the gameboy as a kid and thinking Metaknight was so awesome and he just seems like the villain you like even more then the main villain (screw Dedede when there is Metaknight) he even kinda makes you fight fair by picking up a sword every time you fight him instead of just owning him the mic ability that works so well on the mini-bosses. Sadly he was absent from my favorite Kirby game Kirby 64 =(.
8. Destroy Man aka "Mr. Cosplay" - No More Heroes
The words "DESTROY BEAM!!!" never made me laugh so hard since I played No More Heroes... honestly out of all of he bosses in No More Heroes he was defiantly on my list of favorite bosses. From the moment you first run into him either you really like him or you want to just kick his ass. There really isn't much to say about him but if you were to play No More Heroes you would defiantly think he should be on the list.
7. Bad Girl - No More Heroes
Yeah I know, "two bosses from the same game? WTF?" well the bosses are just that awesome in No More Heroes. I mean seriously, who didn't fall for that instant kill move that activates when you go near her when she suddenly drops to the floor crying? That not only pissed me off but scared the crap out of me too, it also seems like every time you get her health down a bit more she starts using 10 more new moves, like how the hell was I supposed to know she could LIGHT HER FREAKING BAT ON FIRE?
6. Albert Wesker - Resident Evil
I'm gonna admit it, I have not played Resident Evil 1-3 so this is based mostly on Resident Evil 5 because its been a while since I played Resident Evil 4. Albert Weskers voice is so ridiculous it should be on this list too, but that's not bad, its actually quite awesome, now if you don't know who Albert Wesker is then imagine Neo from the Matrix but as a bad guy and make him a total jerk, ahhh yes Wesker... awesome. From what I saw in Resident Evil 5 he is the "I'm so awesome that I use EVERYONE that I make friends with and there is nothing you can do about it". I mean *RE5 Spoiler* You have to throw two effing rockets at him in a pitch black stadium to WEAKEN him!
5. Pipotrons - Ape Escape
When I say "Pipotron" I vaguely referring to not only Pipotron red, yellow, and blue from Pumped and Primed I also mean Pipotron G, J, Meta and Kuratsuku from Million Monkeys and the anime series. If you even know what ape escape is you still probably have no idea what I am talking about... Well Million Monkeys wasn't really released in the US but it wasn't really Ape Escape 4 it was just... well... Ape Escape with hover skates, jet packs, and GUNS. Anyway... the pipotrons are basically robotic monkeys that in Ape Escape Pumped and Primed just seemed so awesome and the other four from Million Monkeys just seem... real. I know robot monkeys either don't sound that cool or just sound awesome, but believe me, the Pipotrons are awesome.
4. Baal -Disgaea
Whether it be that awesome armored Baal that you fight in Disgaea 1 to get the ending that matters after the ending that matters (the normal one) or if it's Prinny Baal that you worked so hard to fight in Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?, Baal is awesome (despite the name...). Even the main character says "LEVEL 4000!?!?!" before you fight him, seriously he is LEVEL 4000! I can almost beat the game at level 70... but freakin 4000!?!?! Anyway he is like the lord of overlords or something awesome like that, so level 4000 is appropriate I guess, especially since you can go up to level 9999.
3. Nazo - Ape Escape: Million Monkeys
Ok, basically the main villain of Ape Escape, Specter just gives monkeys special helmets and makes them... like run around... but Nazo... oh man, he gives the monkeys guns and tanks and starts blowing stuff up in Tokyo. THERE WE GO!!! THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE!!! no offence to specter of course. Rumor has it he was also behind the Grid Core Virus that was in Pumped and Primed. I think he is also in the anime, but he kind of seemed... I don't know... out of place in Million Monkeys... like everyone was anime-ish and here comes a thin... more real guy in a suit, however it kind of seems appropriate, I mean at least he is one of the people in an anime or anime style game that takes place in tokyo that LOOKS JAPANESE.
2. Jedah - Darkstalkers
Not many people know what darkstalkers is but I love it, and it is defiantly my favorite Capcom fighting series (Street Fighter fans remember what I said about no flame wars) and Jedah is just awesome. His background story is long and has something to do with the demon world and just sounds confusing in words... that's why I wanted him to be in the anime series so badly. What makes him such an awesome boss? Well first of all you apparently fight him the womb where the fetus of god was conceived... that is even stranger than you think it is BELIEVE ME. The other thing that makes him so awesome is his move set, it's like if Lust from Fullmetal Alchemist had wings, a scythe, wasn't a girl, and twice the blood came out when he (or she if we are still referring to Lust) attacks with his... finger... claw... things...
1. Specter - Ape Escape
Yeah I know, your probably thinking "but... you just said Nazo was more hardcore..." or "ANOTHER APE ESCAPE VILLAIN???" Well, Ape Escape is a huge part of my childhood, and one thing I remember fondly was how evil specter was in Ape Escape 1, of course in 2 he was evil but... a little more ridiculous, and in Ape Escape 3... uhhh... his "Double Paradise" plan just makes him look like an idiot... even though he is a super intelligent monkey capable of raising an army of monkeys, building giant robots, and BEING ABLE TO USE TELEKINESIS!!! But all that aside he is and probably always will be my favor ate villain, especially because you kind of feel bad for him, I mean if he is dumb as a... monkey... then he will be ok with being a circus monkey, but if he has intelligence that surpasses people... he's gonna want to be treated better... and I mean he has been put back into that circus... what? 6 or 7 times... they know he's just coming back, and that's the thing about Specter, no matter how many times he comes back... it doesn't feel... stale... or already done, I don't know what it is about specter or just ape escape but every game doesn't feel like "oh specter escape AGAIN... whoopty freakin doo..." it feels more like "so what crazy scheme is he up to now?"
Well that was my top 10 list of video game bosses, like I said it's just my opinion, so no hate comments however suggestions on other bosses that could be added would be great. Remember I post almost everyday (I might skip a day here and there) so try to visit daily.
10. The King of Sorrow - Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil
Ok so either your thinking "what the hell is klonoa" or "wait didn't that wii game just come out, when was there a sequel?" I'm talking about the ps2 sequel to the original ps1 Klonoa game (that the wii remake is based on) and the King of Sorrow is the main bad guy of the game and to be honest the game kinda makes you feel bad for the guy, also if you actually get to him in the game it'll make you say "This guy is like if freakin Super Saiyan Goku and Sephiroth fused together" he is so awesome he like sends you to a sonic the hedgehog 2 special stage dimension for the first half of the boss fight.
9. Metaknight - Kirby... uhh... like every kirby game... there we go
Ahhhh Metaknight, I remember playing kirby nightmare in dreamland on the gameboy as a kid and thinking Metaknight was so awesome and he just seems like the villain you like even more then the main villain (screw Dedede when there is Metaknight) he even kinda makes you fight fair by picking up a sword every time you fight him instead of just owning him the mic ability that works so well on the mini-bosses. Sadly he was absent from my favorite Kirby game Kirby 64 =(.
8. Destroy Man aka "Mr. Cosplay" - No More Heroes
The words "DESTROY BEAM!!!" never made me laugh so hard since I played No More Heroes... honestly out of all of he bosses in No More Heroes he was defiantly on my list of favorite bosses. From the moment you first run into him either you really like him or you want to just kick his ass. There really isn't much to say about him but if you were to play No More Heroes you would defiantly think he should be on the list.
7. Bad Girl - No More Heroes
Yeah I know, "two bosses from the same game? WTF?" well the bosses are just that awesome in No More Heroes. I mean seriously, who didn't fall for that instant kill move that activates when you go near her when she suddenly drops to the floor crying? That not only pissed me off but scared the crap out of me too, it also seems like every time you get her health down a bit more she starts using 10 more new moves, like how the hell was I supposed to know she could LIGHT HER FREAKING BAT ON FIRE?
6. Albert Wesker - Resident Evil
I'm gonna admit it, I have not played Resident Evil 1-3 so this is based mostly on Resident Evil 5 because its been a while since I played Resident Evil 4. Albert Weskers voice is so ridiculous it should be on this list too, but that's not bad, its actually quite awesome, now if you don't know who Albert Wesker is then imagine Neo from the Matrix but as a bad guy and make him a total jerk, ahhh yes Wesker... awesome. From what I saw in Resident Evil 5 he is the "I'm so awesome that I use EVERYONE that I make friends with and there is nothing you can do about it". I mean *RE5 Spoiler* You have to throw two effing rockets at him in a pitch black stadium to WEAKEN him!
5. Pipotrons - Ape Escape
When I say "Pipotron" I vaguely referring to not only Pipotron red, yellow, and blue from Pumped and Primed I also mean Pipotron G, J, Meta and Kuratsuku from Million Monkeys and the anime series. If you even know what ape escape is you still probably have no idea what I am talking about... Well Million Monkeys wasn't really released in the US but it wasn't really Ape Escape 4 it was just... well... Ape Escape with hover skates, jet packs, and GUNS. Anyway... the pipotrons are basically robotic monkeys that in Ape Escape Pumped and Primed just seemed so awesome and the other four from Million Monkeys just seem... real. I know robot monkeys either don't sound that cool or just sound awesome, but believe me, the Pipotrons are awesome.
4. Baal -Disgaea
Whether it be that awesome armored Baal that you fight in Disgaea 1 to get the ending that matters after the ending that matters (the normal one) or if it's Prinny Baal that you worked so hard to fight in Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?, Baal is awesome (despite the name...). Even the main character says "LEVEL 4000!?!?!" before you fight him, seriously he is LEVEL 4000! I can almost beat the game at level 70... but freakin 4000!?!?! Anyway he is like the lord of overlords or something awesome like that, so level 4000 is appropriate I guess, especially since you can go up to level 9999.
3. Nazo - Ape Escape: Million Monkeys
Ok, basically the main villain of Ape Escape, Specter just gives monkeys special helmets and makes them... like run around... but Nazo... oh man, he gives the monkeys guns and tanks and starts blowing stuff up in Tokyo. THERE WE GO!!! THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE!!! no offence to specter of course. Rumor has it he was also behind the Grid Core Virus that was in Pumped and Primed. I think he is also in the anime, but he kind of seemed... I don't know... out of place in Million Monkeys... like everyone was anime-ish and here comes a thin... more real guy in a suit, however it kind of seems appropriate, I mean at least he is one of the people in an anime or anime style game that takes place in tokyo that LOOKS JAPANESE.
2. Jedah - Darkstalkers
Not many people know what darkstalkers is but I love it, and it is defiantly my favorite Capcom fighting series (Street Fighter fans remember what I said about no flame wars) and Jedah is just awesome. His background story is long and has something to do with the demon world and just sounds confusing in words... that's why I wanted him to be in the anime series so badly. What makes him such an awesome boss? Well first of all you apparently fight him the womb where the fetus of god was conceived... that is even stranger than you think it is BELIEVE ME. The other thing that makes him so awesome is his move set, it's like if Lust from Fullmetal Alchemist had wings, a scythe, wasn't a girl, and twice the blood came out when he (or she if we are still referring to Lust) attacks with his... finger... claw... things...
