What do they feel to be true justice?

What is right from wrong? What is good from evil? Nobody can truly distinguish between them... Even if there is a God. Now, supposing a God and His word existed, even then I'd stop and think for myself. I'd decide for myself whether His teachings are right or wrong. After all, I am just the same as you. I put faith in my own convictions as to what I believe is right, and considered them to be righteous. You are most certainly no "God", for one, and having you tell people how to lead their lives - and having people live accordingly - is neither peace nor justice as far as I'm concerned. Calling yourself God and killing people indiscriminately is definitely evil in my book. And what about what others think? What do they believe to be right? What do they feel to be true justice?



And I have yet again started reading another manga series, haha. This one is named Hayate the Combat Butler. Vernon has been telling me to watch this anime, but nmaa, I don't really tend to prefer anime nowadays, so I went to read the manga, haha.

The main character is this guy named Hayate (obviously...). His parents were gambling addicts (which sadly reminds me of my parents) and sold him to the yakuza (which reminds me that my father still owes his son six hundred bucks... ) Long story short, after a bunch of stuff happens, this rich girl named Nagi paid the yakuza for Hayate, and in turn, hires Hayate as a butler to work and pay off the debt.

...The debt is 154,000,000 yen, if memory serves me right. That would be $2,066,088 in Singapore dollars, rounded to the nearest dollar. Wow, good game. My currency converter is all full of zeroes now.



How is Hayate like?



What kind of Gundam is that, eh...? Uh... How about... a TMF/S-3 GINN OCHER Type? o.O



I laughed at the reference to all your base are belong to us.



Nagi has a pet tiger named Tama. Yes, the tiger freaking talks. Wow, it sure pisses people off, to get insulted by a freaking tiger.



Tama is rather funny sometimes though. XD





XD!!

Lol, Hayate the Combat Butler has many references to other animes, mangas and other stuff. So far I have spotted Gundam, Spiderman, Death Note, Doraemon and Dragonball. XD I spotted Initial D as well. XD Vernon mentioned a One Piece one, and I'm all-out to look for it... XD Lol! There's even Cardcaptor Sakura and her signature "Hoee?" XD





Luffy from One Piece is an idiot, we all know that. But seeing him do the same reaction thrice after being told by Shanks twice and Garp that he won't be able to swim after eating the Gomu Gomu no Mi was just pure hilarious. XD



The first one from left is from version 1 of Romance Dawn. The one in the middle is from version 2 of Romance Dawn, from WANTED. The one at the right is version 3 of Romance Dawn, otherwise also known as Chapter 1 of One Piece. XD



The third episode of of Tsubasa Tokyo Revelations is coming soon, haha, in five days. Meanwhile, I found two awesome wallpapers, haha.



Of course, the only thing I pretty much like about it is Clone Syaoran kicking Syaoran, while the latter blocks the former's kick. XD



Sakura looks so sexy in this one...



And seems like they are all ready to kick Clone Syaoran out of the cast, haha. XD



From http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/%22Black_Leg%22_Sanji:
Apparently Attachan went through much trouble to get Sanji's picture for his bounty poster. In one instance Sanji was either showing his heart face while in another he was under the influence of the Awa Awa no Mi, yet another had his face being blocked out by someone else and in another shot he was kicked in the nuts at the moment. The picture that was supposed to be his was when they got over the Enies Lobby Main Island Gate but of course the lens cap was on.

I just thought up of something.



First one he shows his heart face. Second one he was under the influence of Awa Awa no Mi.



Third one he is being blocked by someone else (I can't find any pictures of Sanji being blocked in the manga, so I took the one when he slams his face into the ship's mast trying to hug Robin). The fourth one shows his face after Kalifa kicked him in the nuts (ouch, poor Sanji ).



The fifth one has the lens cap on. The sixth one is the horrendous drawing that became the official picture for Sanji's wanted poster. XD



XD!!



Out of pure curiosity, I decided to test how the size of an image will affect image quality. I've got eight images of Naruto here (cut off from the wallpaper I use for my blog banner XD), all in different sizes, ranging from 10x10, 25x25, 50x50, 100x100, 200x200, 300x300 to 400x400. I will make use of HTML to stretch all of them to 400x400.

The pictures are arranged in terms of size, in descending order (from largest to smallest).

















This experiment shows me that the larger the image, the better the quality, haha.

The Hasselblad H3D 39 camera has THIRTY-NINE MEGAPIXELS!! Go get it now!! The larger the image, the better the quality!! O__________O





Hmmm, I was playing Soul Calibur III and trying to learn some additional moves for Kilik, while trying out others that I haven't yet. I like Kilik's three particular attacks, haha.

Yin and Yang: (left, hold down left, A, slide input B)
Kilik heads backwards while electricity charges up his arms and gun, then slams his gun forward at the enemy in a path of blazing fire, shouting, "Vanquish evil!!".

Pounding Stones: (when crouching, A+B)
I saw this attack in Kilik's weapon exhibition and was impressed by how cool it looks, haha, but wasn't able to figure out just how to use that attack until I finally found it at long last. "When crouching", no wonder, haha, I don't crouch much. XD Rather troublesome, though. I have to hold down and X (button for G) at the same time to crouch, then release X to stop defending and thus be able to attack, then finally press L2 (button for A+B) to execute the move. The animation of this attack is rather cool, haha. Kilik slams his gun right, swings it to the left and slams it, before finally swinging it back to the right and slam it. Too bad the fights in Soul Calibur III consist entirely of 1-on-1 fight. This attack would be extremely useful if you are surrounded by enemy on both your left and right... XD

Heaven Monument: (during down state, A+B)
I always use this attack when I am at down state if I remember to, lol. The attack is easy to execute, and the animation is pretty cool. Kilik jumps up, placing his gun vertically on the ground, swinging on the top end while his gun burns, and then he drops down and slams his burning gun into the enemy forcefully, shouting "この! (Kono!)" in an angry tone. And I could always use Playful Phoenix - Down to drop Kilik purposely on the ground to execute this attack, so I don't necessarily have to get hit by the opponent to execute this attack, lol. Too bad it always misses. The enemy just side-steps to dodge it. -.-



Oops! I once again ended up saving too many pictures while reading One Piece! XD





Robin-chwan looks so cute in a ponytail...





Going up against the entire world just for the sake of a nakama. How touching. ;D





Sogeking's pose looks rather idiotic, doesn't it? XD Zoro and Sanji's poses seem rather standard, haha.



Being able to burn the blueprints of an extremely dangerous warship at anytime, anywhere is probably one of the conveniences only cyborgs can enjoy. XD





Kaku looks like shit in his half-man half-giraffe form. XD!



Let us not forget that Usopp has been providing us with comic relief ever since the day he joined the crew. ^_^"





Even without cola, to be able to bash Fukurou's face in like that even when the latter has used Tekkai, Franky sure has superhuman strength, huh? (Of course, let's not forget the fists of pure steel XD)



Next time my parents refuse to order coca-cola for me when we are eating outside, and instead order me something else ridiculous, I'll do a Franky. XD



Strong Hammer (ストロングハンマー): Franky delivers a strong punch after removing the skin on his right hand. This attack is named after the carpentry tool, hammer, due to Franky using a skinless steel version of his fist to bludgeon an opponent.



The boss of the underworld of Water Seven indeed. XD



Look at Crocodile's face! It's full of "What the fuck?"!! XD!







Franky approves of Nami stripping Kalifa. You should too. Everyone should.



36 Pound Cannon, using 名刀・鼻嵐 (Meitou: Hana Arashi; Named Sword: Nose Storm). XD!



I remember taking a screenshot of this during the anime before and using it as my display picture on MSN. XD



"Cause he's being an idiot." XD!



Whoohooo, here comes the hunter!! XD I still prefer his former nickname, "Mr. Prince" though. :3



XD!



Lol, Sanji seems to be easily able to dodge Jyabura's Jusshigan.



Probably the only one who is able to kick more pwnage-ly than Syaoran from Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE. XD



Sanji says the most pwnage quotes. XD



PH43R the power of Diable Jambe!! O______O

Diable Jambe (悪魔風脚(ディアブルジャンブ), Devil's Leg): In this technique, Sanji spins rapidly, causing his legs to heat up so much that they turn red. While like this, he can light his opponent on fire.



Flambage Shot (画竜点睛(フランバージュ)ショット): In the air, kicks the side of an opponent's head, but Diable Jambe's heat greatly increases the power.

And lol, the kanji used for this attack name is a Japanese idiom meaning to "put on the finishing touches", which kind of makes sense since Flambage Shot was used as a mortal blow (yup, I learnt that from Hayate the Combat Butler XD) against Jyabura.



Tekkai "Mushikaku" (鉄塊 "無死角"): Literally, iron mass "no weak spots". Used by Kaku in his half-giraffe form. Kaku bends his neck and legs to shift himself into a cube. When tekkai is used in this form, he eliminates the weakpoints of his body, particularly his neck, and ensures that not a single spot is vulnerable to his following Kiri Shigure.

You gotta admit, that is an idiotic looking way to defend oneself though. XD



Seeing Kaku sitting down there and swinging his legs up and down was pretty humorous. XD It gets even more funnier in the anime, when you can actually see Kaku swinging his legs. XD



Nigori-zake (二剛力斬, Two-Arm Strength Slash): After flexing both of his biceps, Zoro swings his swords so that the tips meet when they hit the opponent, with the swords in his mouth and left hand being held at the same level and the right's hilt dropping at an angle.

One of Zoro's strongest attacks in terms of physical strength and power. XD





Kaku is an idiot. No doubt. -.-



Tatsumaki (龍巻き, Dragon Twister): Zoro spins with his swords to create a dragon-like tornado. If the opponent can still successfully move after the attack, they will lose a significant amount of blood.



Asura Ichibugin (阿修羅弌霧銀, Asura One Mist Silver): Kyuutouryuu effectively triples Zoro's potential as a swordsman, enabling him to shatter Kaku's most powerful Rankyaku. The first time he transformed was an inadvertent semi-transformation due to his agitation, but when he transformed a second time, he had full control over it.





Gomu Gomu no Jet Pistol (ゴムゴムのJET銃): Luffy delivers a Gomu Gomu no Pistol so fast that the fists' movement is invisible, and it truly seems like he shoots his opponent, except that the resulting impact is not akin to an actual pistol, but to a small hand-held cannon abd powerful enough to propel the unlucky recepient several meters away. The incredible speed both makes the strike more powerful, and harder to dodge.



Gomu Gomu no Jet Bazooka (ゴムゴムのJETバズーカ): Luffy stretches both his arms far back, charges at his opponent at high speed, and hurls them forward, striking his opponent with both simultaneously with high speed and force. It was powerful enough to break through Blueno's strongest Tekkai technique.



I actually sang the Sogeking theme along with Sogeking as he accurately shoots Spandam and the other Marines.



This just reminded me of the Ichigo vs Grimmjow fight in Bleach.
