18 Years Ago Today Saori Yoshida Won Her First Olympic Gold.
18 years ago today Saori Yoshida would win her 1st Olympic gold medal at 21 years old.
To this day nobody has more cumulative gold medals than her with 16. (3 Olympic, 13 World)
18 years ago today at the 2004 Olympics Saori Yoshida would win her first of three Olympic gold medals. With the 2004 Olympic Games being the first time that women’s wrestling made the schedule this would be possibly the biggest tournament for wrestling in the last 20 years if not more.
Yoshida would already be a 2x world champion at this point winning gold along side her teammate Kaori Icho in…

It's the Buddy for April 22nd! He's wearing the Capricorn Cloth (being a capricorn himself) of the classic Masami Kurumada manga Saint Seiya.
I loved Saint Seiya. I have all the paperbacks, even, I liked it when I was a kid. It's an interesting manga, in that it doesn't make much sense in retrospect, but when you're reading it, you're more interested in the beat of the plot than in the big picture.
The plot, as I understand, is that this rich girl Saori is the reincarnation of the goddess Athena, so her dad arranged for ten boys to get trained to be her protectors (the saints), wearing bronze armors based on traditional constellations. Then they get into a martial arts tournment to win an actual gold cloth, but complications start making it so they need to stop fighting amongst themselves, and start fighting actual bad guys.
In a way, it's a very toyetic story - each character has their own unique armor (or cloth) which is fits both them, and can be assembled to resemble its constellation, so kids had a lot of expensive toys to collect. And since the golden cloths (belonging to the strongest saints) are based on the twelve zodiac signs, kids already have a favorite character picked out for them.
Me, I'm an Aquarius, so my favorite was Aquarius Camus. The one with the ice powers. He also won a Literature Nobel, you know. But I never related to him, really. He's an ice guy, which is cool I guess, but, not the power I'd choose.
The manga's also very camp. The art's really old-fashioned, looking almost like sometihng from Tatsuo Yoshida's generation. Not a lot of attention is paid to proportions and depth, and the fight scenes are not dynamic. But that's one of the things I like about it, to be honest. It feels like there's a closer dialog between the artist and the reader when the art is so direct. It's the opposite of something like the manga version of One-Punch Man, for instance.
And the designs of the cloths, characters and enemies is also pretty unique, it's got that simplified design quality of eighties manga that's not as popular anymore.
One aspect that Saint Seiya, like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, isn't shy about is the gay subtext regarding some characters... it's most obvious with Andromeda Shun and Pisces Aphrodite, but also Virgo Shak, Aries Mu... it's an intentional aspect of the story, but when me and my friends were kids watching it, we thought it was pretty "gross".
Even though it doesn't really make sense and it's pretty much design to appeal to kids' love of shiny stuff and fight scenes, Saint Seiya is one of my favorite franchises. I'll be honest, I didn't know much about greek mythology when I first watched the anime, so I assumed a lot of the stuff Kurumada made up was actual part of ancient Greek myth. Still makes no sense why Capricorn Shura had the power of Excalibur, though... what does Excalibur have to do with Capricorn? Should be a Draco thing, or even Ursa Major...
The Capricorn print in the background is a public domain image.

Claressa Shields deserves to be in the conversation with all the other great female athletes of the 21st century. Up there with women like Serena Williams, CP3, Sheryl Swoopes, Gabby Douglas, Katie Ledecky, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Kaori Icho, Saori Yoshida, Ryoko Tani, Marta, Abby Wambach, etc. Doesn’t mean I think she should be the consensus #1 but she deserves a mention when people are making their list.
Her resume thus far:
Two time Olympic gold medalist in boxing (the only American ever to have done so)
A two time amateur world champion
A Pan Am champion
A three division world champion as a pro
A two division undisputed champion (won all 4 major belts), the first boxer (man or woman) to ever accomplish this.
Has only lost once in boxing across her professional and amateur career
Shields also has the distinction of being the first woman to main event a Showtime Boxing card

CHARACTER:
QUALITIES: friendly, understanding, intelligent, explorer, fun, brave.
DISADVANTAGE: distrustful of everyone, angry, deceitful, joking, serious
FLAVORS:
see landscapes, cook, fly, play basketball, sleep
I DON'T LIKE:
Be sociable, don't let the drawings turn out the way you want, study even if you are very intelligent, let yourself be bossed, go out when you don't want to.
FAVORITE FOOD:
Lasagna, sushi, pizza
HOBBIES:
Draw, dance, make figures.
MY CHARACTER DATA:
Yōki always likes to do her things calmly and not let anyone rush her because if they rush her she gets angry. He spends a lot of time in his room or outside the house drawing, there is not a minute that he does not draw but at the same time he studies to learn Korean, English and a little bit of other languages (but Spanish seems normal for him since one of his parents is Latin)
His idol is the falcons and the blade, so he strives to have the same abilities.
Something curious about Yōki is that she doesn't really like being a hero and she doesn't like being a villain either, so she is an antihero (helps both parties) and has not yet decided what to be, and well she draws and enjoys her life ( since he has problems with his family). His best friend is shinso, they get along quite well since they were little, and well yōki has his duality of not occupying his wings (problems from his childhood) but when he is not a hero he occupies them and frees himself (from tensions). Of everything).

(I don't actually know if Strikers does anything with tarot but anyway) Which game, as a whole, do you think uses the tarot theming the best? Whether it be individual arcana assignments or links to the plot or just vibes - I know you've spoken of inidividual S-Link meanings but I don't think a big-picture comparison was ever done.
hmmm okay lets do a basic round up
I am going to... give points
+ 2 (GREAT job)
+ 1 (They tried!)
+ 0 (phoned it in/makes no sense)
- 1 (ACTIVELY BAD CHOICE)
Fool: SEES (P3) vs Investigation Team (P4) vs Notigor (P5)
Gonna give P3 and P4 0 points bc these do nothing, but P5 gets -1 bc what the fuck
Magician: Junpei Iori (P3) vs Yosuke Hanamura (P4) vs Morgana (P5)
Both P3 and P5 get +2 for AMAZING Magicians. P4 gets a 0.
High Priestess: Fuuka (P3) vs Yukiko (P4) vs Makoto (P5)
P3 gets the +2 here. P4 gets a -1, Yukiko is a terrible choice. No opinion on Makoto but she doesn't seem like the right pick imo.
Empress: Mitsuru (P3) vs Margaret (P4) vs Haru (P5)
I'll give P4 one point and P5 two points. Mits shoulda been Emperor.
Emperor: StuCo Guy (P3) vs Kanji (P4) vs Yusuke (P5)
P4 gets +2 for a shockingly good Emperor. P5 gets a -1 for a shockingly bad Emperor.
Hierophant: Old Couple (P3) vs Dojima (P4) vs Sojiro (P5)
P3 gets -1 and should feel lucky its only minus one. P4 and P5 get zero points.
Lovers: Yukari (P3) vs Rise (P4) vs Ann (P5)
P3 gets the +2, P4 gets +1, P5 gets zero.
Chariot: Rio (P3) vs Chie (P4) vs Ryuji (P5)
Everyone gets +1.
Strength: Koromaru (P3) vs Athletes (P4) vs Twin Wardens (P5)
P3 gets +1, P4 gets fucking nothing, and P5 gets +2.
Hermit: Saori (P3) vs The Fox (P4) vs Futaba (P5)
P3 gets +1, P4 gets -1 bc no that's not what Hermit is, and P5 gets +2 for nailing it.
Fortune: Ryoji (P3) vs Naoto (P4) vs Chihaya (P5)
No points, everyone see me after class. Actually, no. P4 and P5 get -1.
Justice: Ken (P3) vs Nanako (P4) vs Akechi (P5)
I AM GOING TO GIVE P5 +3 FOR AKECHI, FOR THE FIRST TIME PERSONA FUCKING DID ANYTHING WITH THE JUSTICE ARCANA. AND BOY THEY DID STUFF.
Hanged Man: Maiko (P3) vs Naoki??? (P4) vs Iwai (P5)
P3 you get a -1, see me after class. Zero for the others.
Death: Pharos (P3) vs I HAVE NO IDEA (P4) vs Tae (P5)
I refuse to give Pharos points, so fucking basic. P5 can have a point.
Temperance: UGH NO (P3) vs uh whoops (P4) vs Kawakami (P5)
P3 what the fuck -1, +1 to P4 bc its boring but it fits, and Kawakami gets +2 for fucking nailing it.
Devil: Pres Tanaka (P3) vs that nurse??? (P4) vs Ohya (P5)
I'm gonna skip this one bc I don't think I know enough about P4 and P5's to rate. And Tanaka fits but is just Fine. +0 to all.
Tower: Cool Monk (P3) vs uuuuh idk (P4) vs whoops x 2 (P5)
Honestly, same as Devil. No points.
Star: Akihiko (P3) vs Teddie (P4) vs Hifumi (P5)
FUCKING PLUS 3 TO TEDDIE FOR BEING A TREMENDOUS STAR. +1 to P3 for Akihiko. 0 to P5 bc I don't get the angle.
Moon: Shinjiro (P3) vs that one girl (P4) vs Mishima (P5)
Fuck Mishimia. He's an amazing Moon. +2 to P5, zero to the others.
Sun: Akinari (P3) vs Yumi (P4) vs Yoshida (P5)
-1 to P4 bc the Sun link sucks. +2 to P3 and P5 for AMAZING Sun links. Yoshida may be the most nuanced take on any NPC's Arcana.
Judgement: Nyx Squad (P3) vs Truth Dudes (P4) vs Sae (P5)
P5 gets +1 bc at least they fucking tried, P3 and P4 were just tagged on and superfluous.
World/Universe: Reverie III vs Reverie IV vs Reverie V
Reverie The Fourth loses HARD here bc the point of the World is coming to the end of a journey and being changed for it and he doesn't have enough personality to be changed. -1 to P4
Reverie the Third is a decent one who went through a lot and has enough personal stakes that I buy it. +1 to P3
I hate to say it but Reverie the Fifth gets +2. He feels the most complete of them all, so for the Arcana of Completion, or the Whole, it has to be him.
Okay I have no idea what that tallies up to, lemme see.
Persona 3: 10 points
Persona 4: 4 points (OUCH)
Persona 5: 19 FUCKING POINTS WOW THAT ISN'T EVEN CLOSE
My math might be wrong bc I suck at math (yay, dyscalculia) but that is a huge margin for error.
Honestly, makes sense. Like I said in the post-mortem, P5 succeeds in a lot of ways just for having actual adults available for the arcanas. P4 and P3 are so strongly limited to your classmates, there is only so many ways to make a high school student wacky and weird in a way congruent to their Arcana.
P5 has the worst Emperor in the series by far but it has the best Justice easily and possibly the best Sun and honestly a lot of the NPC SLinks are Just Really Good.
So yeah, P5 wins at something at last.

Fun fact: For only a month in Japan back in 2017, you could get a Machamp in Sun and Moon inspired by the female Japanese Olympic wrestler, Saori Yoshida. Literally the only difference was that it had Double-Edge in it's moveset which it actually couldn't learn normally before Gen 8.
they should've at least made it female considering Machamp can be female but it's less common than finding males

Been seeing stuff with characters of the same arcana interacting and thought this would be neat.
Tournament where the best "arcana" wins, this being judged by how much people like the characters associated with that arcana.
Wanted to put out a survey first to get some feedback on what characters should be included (ex. spin-offs or no) and how long the tournament should be. I'll close the survey May 23 10PM EST

Prioritizing the Arcanas in the OG P3 over P3P because of themes, also I have a friend that will kill me if I do otherwise
I know the Arena games also have characters associated with some of the arcanas, but want to hear feedback on including spin-offs first as well as hear from people more knowledgeable about them
