Reminds me of the many times I lost face.

Q: Will Putin be okay, because he’s the richest man in Russia?

A: Yes.

Then war will continue.

What it’s all about: Real estate greed.

I’m sure the LNG will make its way to China and India eventually.

Maybe via North Korea through a pipeline that goes directly to the Chinese border and absolutely nowhere near any North Korean cities.

The 1986 Fist Of The Northstar animated movie.

Kenshiro gets his girl Julia taken from him, gets beaten up and thrown down a canyon for good measure.

He recovers, fights his way through hordes of mutant bikers, multiple bosses, to a climactic battle against his rival that basically levels the city.

Then wandering through the desert, he suddenly lifts his head up, opens his eyes and remembers “(Oh yeah) Julia…”

I just love the art for her facial expressions, ranging from bishojo heroine

to her inner Yakuza…

Chrome’s greatest weapon is psychological warfare…

Now he’s living rent-free in Berry Blossom’s head…

That was all pretty good, except I don’t buy that excuse that Agatha made up to keep herself around.

She’s a known liar and a murderer.

Teen should have banished her.

Ironically, the Tower upright is the trial Tower reversed.

Lilia never answered Teen’s question.

A very cool death for her though…

This bimbo really annoys me, but she’s got murderous tendencies, which makes for a strange mix.

But unless she actually murders people unethically, it won’t hold up.

Does Noel make an unethical decision himself to get his guy? Stay tuned next week…

She did sign a contract, so she should have access to magic powers, but maybe Chrome is waiting for the right moment to push her into the abyss of doing evil organizational evil stuff, like stealing school supplies or something.

I have to say the router trick was creative.

Distracting them with his wild antics, and putting the teams under time pressure might force them to ignore the obvious warning signs that something wasn’t quite right.

I’m surprised that they got every team’s password, but maybe they only needed one member from each team to log into the router.

The animators saved a lot of budget by having Isagi and the 2 other guys talking about last episode’s match for 7 minutes.

A fun match from Reo’s perspective after that.

As I mentioned in this week’s MF Ghost episode thread, we got a new Eurobeat track this episode: Go Wild by Dusty

We got a nice eurobeat track during the lead group battle: Go Wild by Dusty

But the body contact during that was cringe and unsafe. Both of them should have been disqualified.

Nice track knowledge by Katagiri for the overtake, but I disagree that he would have kept the position.

Drifting slows a car down by a lot, and recovering from the drift often results in squirrelly oversteer/understeer and loses even more speed.

The yellow Audi should have taken the position back when the 86 recovered from the drift.

That’s why pro drivers don’t drift in real races.

Note: The black kid boxer’s hero is implied to be all-time boxing great Muhammad Ali, who appeared in commercials for D-Con home pesticide spray and roach traps in 1979-1980.

These were commonly perceived to de-value what we might term today as his personal brand as an African American role model.

Time flies! It doesn’t feel like FF has been around for only 20 years…

Honestly, I haven’t read up to this point in ToG. The Workshop-long-arc thing I just picked up from hearsay.
