Hils Watches Cross Fire - Ep 14
There was a time when this would have delighted me but I am older and wiser now
No.
Aww he does remember meeting Xiao Feng when he was little. I'm glad.
I do love that Xiao Feng fights with his team all the time, but he's all wise when he's talking to Lu Xiaobei. It's interesting when Lu Xiaobei said Xiao Feng was a human strategy book I was expecting to see more of that. Maybe we will later. I think I was just expecting something a bit more like Ye Xiu where it's clear he understands the game on a higher level than everyone else.
Okay, yeah, this is exactly the sort of thing I meant. Clearly they knew what I wanted to see :D
Hehe Su Jiayi is The Bride today
I love that his dad is helping them train now
This sweet precious boy
OMG the vile betrayer is teaching An Lan how to play Snake. God, that takes me back.
God, I hope they're not setting up a love triangle with An Lan, Xiao Feng and Xu Wei
Okay, I know he was trying to get Qilin away from An Lan but it really looks like they're grinding on the dance floor.
I just want to hug him. Now he has a nice family of bros (gender neutral) who won't repeatedly send him to gamer conversion therapy. He deserves a nice birthday with people who care about him.
😭
I was thinking about this after yesterday's episode. I don't know why I was surprised Xu Wei turned out to be Gravity's owner. Of course Lu Xiaobei has to get the opportunity to defeat the man who killed his brother. I'm assuming at some point he'll find out somehow so that beating Gravity becomes extra personal
OH SHIT! That girl in the flashback was Chu Ge. Uh...I can't remember why she was at the police station but something to do with her dad apparently.
OH SHIIIIIIII
Oh yes now I remember. I think the last flashback just showed this bit
I don't think that's what he said, but she's only little

CROSS FIRE: Fist and Fist Ch 1
Madara: Hmmm~. So, they’re training as a pair, huh? They look like they’re having fun, aren’t they?
Jun: —And, why’re you looking at me?
Scenario Writer: Kino Seitarou (with Akira)
Season: Summer
Characters: Kiryu Kuro, Mikejima Madara, Nagumo Tetora, Sazanami Jun, Otogari Adonis
Proofed by: @ryuseipuka, Skyress
Madara: Well then, Kuro-san. I’d like to clearly establish the details of our match one last time.
The match will be held four days from now, in the afternoon.
This activity will be part of the events lined up to promote BUTOUKAI, so there’ll be some filming on-site, but other than that, the rules will follow those of the actual CROSS FIRE bouts.
The use of weapons is prohibited. Attacks to the back of the head and vital areas are prohibited. Biting and scratching are prohibited too, but other than that, anything goes.
The player who KO's his opponent in 10 rounds wins—Do you have objections to any of that?
Kuro: Nope, I’m down with all that. Ya better take good care of yerself so you don’t get hurt, you hear?
Madara: Hahaha! That’s my line, you knowww!
You would have a slight advantage if it were just martial arts, Kuro-san. However, this is Mixed Martial Arts. Any technique is allowed… … so that means my chances of winning will be pretty high too!
Do be careful not to let your guard down!
Jun: Woah~. The air between the both of them’s just crackling with tension, isn’t it~?
I didn’t expect everything would turn out as Nagumo-kun had hoped for, but I’m really looking forward to the actual showdown!
Adonis: Fufu~. It looks like there’s a storm of sparks flying between them, but they do seem to be enjoying themselves too.
I never thought the two of them would have such a connection arising from the Dragon King Competition from way back then. Watching them carry out that historic battle once again will certainly be a highlight among the events.
Tetora: My thoughts exactly~!
Everyone will have three days to prepare. How you spend your time starting from today is up to you, which means that the battle has already begun!
And that’s why, Taisho! If there’s anything you’d like me to help out with in training, please don’t hesitate to approach me to be your partner!
This is a real big match that’ll affect the prestige of the Karate Club after all, so I’ll do my very best to support you!
Kuro: I really appreciate that. Then, I wanna practise some chokehold and ground techniques. Would ya mind being my partner fer those?
I’m no good at applying those skills. If I’m unable to execute ‘em properly, I won’t be able to fight in an MMA battle, right?
Tetora: Ossu! If that’s what you wanna do, Taisho, I don’t mind undergoing a little hardship!
Kuro: Here I go then. Let’s go all out, Tetsu… …! HAA—!
Tetora: OWAH!—Ow-OW-OW! Give, GIVE! (1)
Madara: Hmmm~. So, they’re training as a pair, huh? They look like they’re having fun, aren’t they?
Jun: —And, why’re you looking at me?
Madara: Fufu~n! Isn’t it obvious? Since the Karate duo are practising together, I’m gonna have to find practice partners of my own too~.
However, all that’s left here are inexperienced hands. There’s just no way I can force Adonis-san to take on all the burden of training with me alone—
You do understand what I’m getting at, don’t you~?
Jun: Nope. You do know no one will recklessly go along with you just because you tell them to, don’t you~?
Wouldn’t it be better to train with someone you’re already familiar with? Plus, I think it would be a good idea to have the Track and Field Team be the ones going up against the Karate Club, don’t you?
Madara: If that’s the case, the Track and Field Team wouldn't stand a chance. Fighting isn't our speciality, after all?
We would need more manpower to gain the upper hand over our opponents. I’d be very grateful if you could help out with that!
Adonis: I agree with Senpai, too.
If Mikejima-senpai and I were to form a two-man team by ourselves, that means Sazanami would be left all alone.
We’re muscle-training buddies, aren’t we? I don’t want you to be the only one left on your own.
Jun: Haa~. I’m real sorry to have caused you to worry about me like that. Since you’ve gone and put it that way, I guess there’s no choice but for me to help out, after all!
Madara: Yes! It’ll really be a big help me too, Jun-san.
Jun-san’s an avid manga reader, so you’d have a wealth of knowledge from fighting and delinquent manga. It’ll be very reassuring to receive all sorts of advice from you~ ♪
Jun: No, no way. I don’t think my knowledge of manga will be of any help in your situation, you know~? They’re just unrealistic techniques and theories that are probably nowhere near legit at all—
But then again~, this is for the sake of our much-anticipated Shuffle Unit after all, so why not pull out all the stops?
It’d be such a let-down if Kiryu-senpai were to one-sidedly dominate the match. If we could add some colour to liven up that practice match of BUTOUKAI’s, we can probably expect the viewership ratings to increase, won’t we?
Haha~! To think I’m actually using words like ‘increase viewership ratings’ when I’m really clueless about how to go about doing it. If Ibara—who’s an expert in that field—were to hear me, he’d probably burst out laughing, huh~?
Madara: Nope. They may be amateur ideas, but even so, that is the work that’s expected of us.
We’ll make up for that lack with enthusiasm! Let’s get started with training right away, Inexperienced Trio!
Jun: EH~! Is that really what we’re calling our trio?!
Well, whatever. It doesn’t matter what we call ourselves; I’ll get to watch a red-hot battle either way.
There’s really no telling how all of this will turn out—the success of this Shuffle Project is riding on us!
Let’s show our opponents everything we’ve got~, Mikejima-senpai! Otogari-san!
Madara / Adonis: Yeah!

Show recommendation
Title: Cross Fire 穿越火线
Origin: China
Topics: e-sports, friendship, adulthood, physical and mental health, time-travel (in a way)
Length: 36 episodes
Trailer:
Summary (without spoilers): In 2008, Xiao Feng is the captain of an e-sport video game team. Unfortunately, at that time, e-sport is not well seen by society, and Xiao Feng struggles to keep playing as an adult who has to make his way in life.
In 2019, Lu Bei is a young man in a wheelchair since his brother and him had a car accident, and his brother lost his life in the process. He aspires to be a professional e-sport player to follow his brother’s dream.
While Xiao Feng and Lu Bei both live in a different time, they meet inside an online game during a time-bug. Becoming friends, they help each other to become professional e-sport players in their respective time, and also investigate the death of Lu Bei’s brother.
You will like this if you enjoyed: King’s Avatar
Opinion: More than just a story about video games, CrossFire is the story of two different people living in two different times, with their own problems linked to their own era. The show tells a lot about how video games were seen 10 years before and how they are seen now. Seing Xiao Feng being an adult struggling to continue playing while all his friends start to find a job and marry is really heartbreaking, especially in a time where playing video games was seen like a mental illness. Same for Lu Bei, who is still going to school and has to use a wheelchair, video games being his only way out to keep his mind after his brother’s death, is something very well done and appealing. The supernatural part about the fact the two characters meeting inside a game’s bug is a good way to realize how much times have changed, when we see them both talking about their mutual time. And the investigation part keeps the viewers in suspense all along. As a video games lover, I liked to learn more about the e-sport history in China (There was even reeducation centers specialized in video games addictions).
Pros: very good cast, epic scenes, suspense, intense moments, girls’ players, video games’ defenders
Cons: "usual" sexism (girls must be pretty), the story is long to start
Conclusion: ★★★★☆
Where to watch:

Feeling like the mother hen
When there are certain situations with mental health there are active roles in which you feel like your the mother hen of certain situations regardless if its work or personal life related you always feel like you need to look after people. That is what I am like but then sometimes that is a settling feeling to us
As well as that mother hen feeling I like to be in control of things and don't tell people certain things and if I don't have control then that petrifies me. That's why I bottle things up because of things like peoples reaction to things and I cant be in control of what they are going to say or do and I hate that. However there are times that when I am not in control I go completely crackers and i loose all sense of the normal things that are the standard basic looking after yourself skills like taking the trash out or having a shower or doing the dishes. that is something that drives me insane when I don't have control.
Feeling OCD is a very certain circumstances, Smelling the clean in my house when I feel in control relaxes me and if I don't smell clean then its not clean enough in my eyes or when I write things down in my diary sometimes in needs to be filled so that there is no room left on the page. that is something that makes me think I'm busy when its actually some of it isn't really that important
Being in the cross fire of things I hate because that is why I don't tell people nothing because the cross fire is something that feels like a thousand bullets being shot in your direction it doesn't need to be simple things that make you like this. It can be words it could be triggered that can lose the feeling of being in control.
Therapy helps people like us I didn't realise it till recently there is a lot of things going on with me sometimes its harder to get though then others to understand my feeling and getting to my emotions but its easier to talk to someone and let your feelings out then figuring something out before that's it you break.

Hils Watches Cross Fire - Ep 3
Aww little baby Lu Xiaobei is so cute
I'm glad they made his gun gold so it doesn't look like they armed a small child with a real weapon
Every ace writer can relate to this
She's such a badass. Running a race in bare feet because her shoes broke and she still beat everyone. I love her.
I am so invested in these two. I hope Xiao Feng's boyfriend joins his team eventually
Ehehe! She stole the stuff of the bitchy girls who stole her shoes. I love her.
I'm appreciating the bonus cat content
Cries in bisexual
Hot, loves cats, gives no fucks. I love her.
Apparently she had a support role in Detective L. The cdrama world is small.
I love her
I hope he makes up with his boyfriend soon :(
Me talking to my one (1) non-fandom friend
I can't believe he just came out and said it
