To celebrate the release of Nioh (which I’m playing too much of), I’m upgrading the comic to PURE ACTION. The plot is now incidental and under cooked, just like Nioh’s!
Real Art Talk; this page is probably not as readable as I’d have liked it to be, mostly because it lacks a panel showing both Wu and Tang in the same shot. So it can be hard to place their location in relation to Cho, especially since I keep reversing the ‘camera angle’. Just goes to show I need more practice framing complicated fight choreography. The only way I can think to improve that is to have more fighting in the comic. Like an endless stream of fights. Forever.
I saw the Lego Batman movie. It was entertaining, but not as entertaining as The Lego Movie, likely because most of the jokes are based around the fact that Batman just wants to be dark and gritty and everyone else wants him to be more open and honest with himself. There are only so many jokes that concept can sustain over the course of an hour and forty five minutes (yikes, this movie could’ve been 15 minutes shorter!). Also the editing moves at an incredibly fast pace and it’s PHYSICALLY EXHAUSTING. Ugh, am I just getting old? My favorite parts were whenever they lampooned the live action Batman films (frequently), and any scene that took place in the batcave (it is the greatest of all batcaves every put to screen).

He didn’t see the attack… but he did…
Tsk tsk! Have you guys been tip toeing around the 180 degree rule? You naughty artists!
You’re only supposed to break a rule after you’ve mastered it. Clearly I’ve mastered it! *awkward throat clearing cough*
Mhmmm.
You could say that rope is about to be…upchucked.
Yoinkould say that again.
Now he’s just styling on them. Was he holding back this much earlier?
No. It was tao’s will, obviously.
And my mind goes straight to “He’s gonna make a bad-a** yo-yo out of that, isn’t he?” 😀
Well, yo-yos WERE originally weapons……
“The only way I can think to improve that is to have more fighting in the comic. Like an endless stream of fights. Forever.”
For the sake of the art, I think I can live with this.
Somehow I’ll find a way to survive as well… for the art of course.
And then the comics will be renamed to Dragon Ball NN4B
I was thinking Muscle Fighter Zero (or S).
Seems the brothers got tied up in their own arguments.
Knowing them, they’ll just chuck it up to being bad luck.

Why is Cho turning towards the thrown dart? It’s not like he can see it to gauge when he needs to leap and grab the rope.
If he’s anything like the first Demon of Sorrow (whose name escapes me), then he can probably “see” in a Daredevil sort of way.
Ryoku. I kind of miss him – yeah, he was vicious, but he sure was pretty!
I often regret killing him off so early, but I just really wanted to get in that classic swordsman duel early on! His fight in the old shrine might still be my favorite to have drawn in the comic.
5th panel – Cho looks towards the dart
6-7th panels – Cho remembers he’s blind and should act accordingly
Honestly, they should have seen this coming. String weapon + Loopy circle weapon = one of you’s gettin’ deweaponized.
They trusted in the will of the tao, to find protection.
The tao decided to do the obvious.
Is this guy really blind?
I mean, he can read. Blindness is just a minor setback!
Cho is blind, but he chooses to see things anyway.
WHAT??
My whole perspective has been a lie!
All this time, I thought Cho was blind, but he chose to let the tao see things for him. D:
Those two options CAN be true at the same time.
… but only, if we assume that Cho IS the Tao.
That idea certainly holds some appeal!
he sees without looking.
“You don’t see with your eyes, you perceive with your mind…” 😎

Cho! Remember your training!!!
Bunny ears, Bunny ears, jumped into the hole,
Popped out the other side beautiful and bold.
Cho, you absolute boss.
nothing wrong with an incidental plot in an action game. I mean…pretty much every Mario Brothers plot is incidental and they’re still good games!
Agreed. And what plot is there in Nioh, I enjoy. Still, if the game had sprung for a more robust story like an Onimusha game, I would’ve dug it. It clearly has the convoluted mythology to support one!
fair enough. everything can always be a little better, but if you only have ONE complaint about something you enjoy, you’re doing fine.
nice! love this!
also I will consider going to see the movie just because you said the batcave was awesome!
Also nolan totally ripped us off on a good batcave! so mad!
Don’t stop not dying, Cho! 😎
