Virtual Character Tourney - Round 5 - Bracket B Finals

Propaganda below (May contain spoilers!)

Dr. Coomer propaganda:

Dr. Coomer is the EMBODIMENT of a old and broken AI. Silly man, just a very old guy who has a crisis over realizing that he's in a game because he went out of bounds. He runs into the same trap/enemy constantly because of one area at the beginning of the game, explodes anything with the word explosive on it, cannot stop greeting the player, recites the entirety of the 2012 Wikipedia article for chairs because was was sitting in one, and is basically a permanent tutorial npc. Someone fix this man's code please.

he is so sentient it hurts

he's a broken tutorial npc who becomes aware that he's trapped in a game and repeatedly tries to escape. he wanted to be a boxer instead of a scientist. he wants to live in super punch out for the super nintendo entertainment system but instead he's stuck in half life. you wouldn't leave him in half life, gordon? fucking half life? let him ou-- HELLO, GORDON!

Ultraman X propaganda:

X canonically lost his physical form and lives in Daiichi's phone. His presence caused Daiichi's phone to turn gold, instead of the standard-issue silver the rest of XIO's employees have. It's possible for XIO's scientists to send powerups to X because he lives on Daiichi's phone. There's also a couple episodes where X gets trapped in cyberspace and Dr. Gourman and friends have to design something for Daiichi to help him escape. (Dr. Gourman is the first to notice Daiichi is secretly Ultraman X. Also in the crossover movie, Daiichi and X got separated and X couldn't live on Daiichi's phone so he jumped to the nearest computer (which belonged to Naomi from Ultraman Orb, air date 2016) and began pulling up photos of Daiichi in a "Have You Seen This Nerd?" sort of way. The enemy goons saw Naomi and her cryptid hunting gang putting up missing posters for Daiichi and tore them down bc they had him captured at their crystal witch's base, a creepy haunted house. Eventually when Daiichi and X reunited as man and lil alien on his phone, they were so happy they ignored everyone else in the room. They were grateful enough to fight alongside Naomi's sad space cowboy, Kurenai Gai, in battle.

He's used the phone's vibration function a few times to try and get people's attention, and he doesn't like being turned face-down because he can't see. In order to take on a physical form he has to essentially fuse with his human partner Daichi. (also they get a power up form after Daichi nearly Dies to save him and it's rainbow themed.) While X is very chatty and enjoys talking with his partner, he's often a formless voice while they're fused.The exception being one occasion where he looks like an entire network. tldr this alien is gay he is very polite and deserves your vote.

Semifinals: Match Three

Polling the kaiju fandoms!

I've noticed that the kaiju fandoms seem to have a really high amount of neurodivergency (like even more than most fandoms), so I wanted to make a poll of it!

I'm aware that making this a Tumblr poll will skew the results, but I literally can't do this anywhere else.

This poll counts for all kaiju fans in all kaiju fandoms- Godzilla, Gamera, Pacific Rim, the Ultra Series, Cloverfield, or any others.

Please reblog for a larger sample size!

Thanks!

Feel free to add the specific season/movie you first watched in the tags.

Toku Ship Poll Round 1

Tokusatsu Fans!! I have a question for you all!

It just occurred to me while Yayoi was showin' me some stuff that different seasons of Toku handle their movies differently when deciding how much they count toward and affect the main canon story! Like Gotchard with Majade having bigger canonical necessity than some other movies! So!!

Feel free to also explain WHY you feel that way in the tags or reblog text!!

Ultraman propaganda

Pioneer Nine propaganda

This is just off the top of my head, with a bunch of Kamen Rider ships

ROUND 1: RIGHT SIDE

Propaganda under the cut!

Moffun to Issho: "A cartoon made for the young Hymeno Ran to keep her happy after her abrupt promotion to Queen. The show is about a village of yeti that brings people to their homes to play with them, and never let them leave :) The show is especially loved by the normally cold and impartial Rita Kaniska, who has multiple plush toys of Moffun in various sizes that they regularly consult."

Donshine: "It's a superhero show where the hero, Donshine, rescues a Princess. His powers involve sparkling like he's from a commercial. "

Mod note: Moffun sweep!

Benry propaganda:

He's a great cool. Guy who's feral, guy who just fucking vibes. Because of the improv Nature of the media he's in he ends up being the final boss of the game because Gordon treats him like a villain the whole time and he plays into that.

Round Two: Part Three

Magical Boy Tournament: Round 2

Entrant Propaganda:

Bright Marine

LET'S GO MY BOY

Ultraman Zero

He's babygirl he wants to steal the Plasma Spark (Ultra Planet's fake sun that powers everyone just by being there) and instead of getting locked in Cube Jail for 100,000 years like the last guy who tried that, he has to fight a guy on Sand Planet Hell until he realizes the true point of fighting. While the guy's brother and the guy who made Cube Jail watch and judge him. But he realizes that the purpose of fighting is to protect those who can't protect themselves and gets to go fight his new arch-nemesis! He later went on to make a team of people who protect the multiverse (this was back in 2010), of which he was the leader and the one they were named after (of course). Given his ego, and his reputation, he'd be the equivalent of a precure pink or sentai red. Plus he's the son of the favorite Ultraman from the last generation, so he's doubly Tsupro's Favorite Boy. He also gets a friendship bracelet from a god in the parallel universe<3

PLEASE VOTE ZERO HE IS THE SPECIALEST MOST PRECIOUS BOY EVER

@thankyoumskobayashi’s Zero propaganda

Emerald Heart

quick before liam walks the plank--

Trying to decide which modern Ultraman New Generation series I have on Blu-Ray to show episodes of at Ushicon next weekend. Help a gal out and help me decide, please!

Thank you in advance for your help. I just keep debating which one would go over best with an audience of folks who might be new to Ultraman.
