Huh. In this situation I wonder
which one of them would have gotten the Titan power.

See ya next week, ToonamiGAF.
Some trivia: the Japanese equivalent of the action movie one-liner is for the main hero to just say a 'badass' line at the end, but it's usually not a pun. For example, in the Japanese dub of Last Action Hero, Schwarzenegger's line "You wanna be a farmer? Here's a couple of ‘achers'." becomes "Get out of here and watch from over there.". (It sounds less lame in Japanese.)
...and that's exactly the kind of thing Jotaro does.

Also, Goemon's full name is Goemon Ishikawa XIII, and he's supposedly the descendant of Goemon Ishikawa, a legendary Robin Hood-esque samurai-ninja, the same way Lupin III is a descendant of the original Arsène Lupin.
if you were wondering why he's so OP or something

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Goku in his damn 40s now, maybe pushing to 50s with all the time chamber shenanigans especially in super.
Kinda, sorta, apparently cost them 200,000 dollars to do that.
Yea, expensive for a 2-cour series.
So it did, Outlaw Star was one of Bandai's best sellers which was a change from the Japanese version, which was a failure.
Heh. Go figure.
I've always preferred the western-influenced series, so I'm glad it worked out for them.

It's too bad Outlaw Star 2 never happened. I wonder if we would have gotten deeper origin stories for some of them. I'm particularly interested in how Gene and Jim ended up working together.

I've known about that since 2001, but never seen it. I heard it's mostly trash, but with some nice visuals.

Sunrise had plans for one back in 01/02, but it got cancelled. I wonder if they would do a co-production again? Although, Big-O II was a flop, but I think OS would be much more successful.
More like Angel Tits
"More like he has two brains and the one downstairs start calling the shots"

Jojo in a nutshell
They already did
You know, that pole dance scene is actually the first time we see a Ctarl Ctarl person, isn't it?
But this episode suggests that it is.
I know, but we don't know if that's sticking around beyond Part 1.
But this episode suggests that it is.
Jaco sure does like to test Bulma's patience

Well the rumored sequel sword of Wind seemed like a miss-step. Aisha, Suzuka, and the OutlawStar are missing, and Melfina is barely in the story since she is off to college. Also Gene and Jim split ways.
In regards to how the two met, there's a drama CD that apparently goes over that but I can't find any translations about it.
One of these characters will having a meaningful role in the rest of HxH.
Foreshadowing
Alucard?
that's kind of cheating though since he's a vampire
Meliodas
also cheating

Am I the only one who feels like the Nen is kind of overly explained for no benefit?
Like, I feel as though "putting more nen into the part you're blocking/attacking with" could have been said in that one sentence instead of introducing 2 or 3 named techniques, then explaining it as a new named technique that's a combination of the others. Especially when the nen techniques all sound similar and have one syllable.
Like I get that he wants to be more logical and consistent than the likes of DBZ Ki/Power Levels, but there's still going to be an inherent suspension of disbelief anyway.
I feel as though there is a big leap from the martial arts Nen to the powers. A big gap between aura shields and punches vs "I have to tell you how to disable my bombs for them to activate and also I can deactivate them by touching thumbs with these other two guys". While fighting with auras is explained in tons of details, the powers themselves feel disconnected from those explanations, and still feel like "it's magic, just accept it".

Nen actually tries to rationalize all the crazy powers that stories like Jojo and others shows, shounen especially, just throw out there with some often vague and nebulous structure. It's honestly more akin to Western style magic systems that often treat the special powers characters can use much more rigid and systematically. Something more like magic system of weaving threads in The Wheel of Time series than Chakra bull shit in Naruto.
