When I was younger and worked at a health food restaurant, I met this super buff guy. Like, the Mr. Universe kinda buff with muscles on top, but also built stocky like a football player. One day, he came in all beat up.

I later learned from his friends that he was constantly challenged to fights. He was the most nicest guy I ever met, and all he cared about was taking care of his pecs. But some unsecure asshole at a bar decided to take a few swings at him to pump his manhood and left him with a black eye.

And you can say, "Well the other guy must have been worse off!" But like... How exhausting is that to constantly deal with that?

It's also why Bruce Lee carried a gun.

Heh, this was quite clever.

They're all quite good.

[-] 6mementomori@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I'm getting Ruroni Kenshin vibes.

[-] Secret300@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

How the hell have I never heard of it until I googled it?!

From Wikipedia

"The Rurouni Kenshin manga has over 72 million copies in circulation as of 2019, making it one of the best-selling manga series."

For the people who enjoyed this comic, look up "King vs Atomic Samurai", a short story from the One Punch Man universe. It's quite funny.

[-] Filbo@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

King's story really never gets old

Guys such a baller he teleported his sword into his other hand

[-] jarfil@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

If he held it on his left, he was going to use it with his right, you don't unsheath a katana with the hand it's hanging under.

What's more interesting, is what did he do with the tea cup 🤔

[-] quaddo@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

What amazes me is that he cut downwards with the spine of the katana.

Either that, or it's an upwards cut and the frame just decided to cleave itself so it didn't have to deal with the katana.

[-] jarfil@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Looks like a single sweeping cut with the edge, just from unsheathing, in a high arch to a resting position... and the frame got cut like paper.

A slightly unorthodox move, but maybe that's where he got his fame from?

SEVERED UNIVERSE.

Manga: Fire Force

[-] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

I gotta read that

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

It's also a great watch, animated by David Productions (of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure fame).

[-] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I already watched the show, but the manga has more content

[-] Cralex@lemm.ee 6 points 8 months ago

Is it possible to learn this power?
