I had a bit of trouble coming up with an answer on this Ask. I thought about it for a long time, before eventually just letting Killua voice my thoughts on the matter in his own words. I’m not 100% sure what the asker was hoping for in a response, but I think Killua sums things up well here. Killua and Gon are good friends, and they help each other out mutually. So it doesn’t feel quite right for Killua to just, like, do something for Gon to thank him.
I don’t have too much to say about this Ask, since I think it kinda speaks for itself. The Zangya bit comes from an old conversation on my Discord (which I touched on in Zangya’s Studio Tour appearance). After that, I thought it’d be funny if Mina just couldn’t stop thinking of girls she’d like to work with, hence the gag where her speech bubble goes off the page.
So I intentionally put this one off until after Christmas for two reasons. One was, like Frosty says in the pic, I just had a bunch of Christmas content already lined up for the holiday and didn’t need more. The second reason was, I wanted something interesting for the answer portion. I feel like just having them go, “Sure!” and then fuck is pretty boring, and going the opposite route and having them come up with some reason why they couldn’t would be disappointing, I think. This way they can talk about being past the holiday itself, but hey, at least it’s still winter so Frosty hasn’t melted away yet.
With this Ask I thought it’d be a little fun to highlight the different ways Gohan and Zangya approach a problem. Gohan’s figuring they’d have to run experiments to answer faithfully, but Zangya doesn’t have any concerns about that and just trusts her gut. Of course, if she thought about it more, Zangya would probably be all for an ass-eating competition with Gohan. Grab a handful of people from around the studio and then have them compare the techniques of both her and Gohan. I’m sure she’d have a great time of it, but for the moment she’s too caught up in her ego and bravado to realize just what Gohan’s proposing.
So this Ask could’ve been answered with just Goku talking to the camera, but then I thought it’d be neat to try and show him with some random crossover boy (even though he doesn’t really have an actual answer to the question. I ended up adding two more boys just ’cause… I’d never accept an Ask that demanded this many characters, but since it was my own decision it’s okay. ^_^; I went with three random boys, trying my best to avoid any sort of theme or anything with the selections. Just three boys who would be in the studio. I guess Goku’s pretty popular around the NH Studio, and he’s such an easy-going guy that he just goes along with whatever.
I think I did an Ask basically just like this for Bulma once already, so I let Chi-Chi do most of the talking here. Not much to add, I’m afraid, other than I still think these two are cute whenever they appear together.
So this Ask ended up being something of a storytime, eh? I’ve always had a vague idea of how Terry and Mickie’s relationship developed, but this is the most detailed I’ve gotten with it. I don’t really have much to add here, since Terry covers everything pretty succinctly, so I’ll let his recollection of events speak for itself.
I’ve never combined multiple Asks like this before, but here I felt like it fit. Both Gohan and Uraraka got questions basically looking to see what crossover pairings they might get into, but I think they make a good pairing themselves! I think Uraraka would be attracted to Gohan for a lot of the same traits that draws her to Midoriya, and I think Gohan would reciprocate. So here we are. ^_^
I don’t feel great about doing these One Piece Asks, haha. I still don’t feel like I have a good handle on the One Piece style, and while I did used to read the manga and watch the anime back when it was first starting out, it’s been a long time and I don’t feel confident with these characters’ personalities or mannerisms. Hopefully I didn’t mess up too bad with this response. ^_^;
I wasn’t sure at first how I wanted to answer this one. I fully intend to (one day) do a follow-up to the Killua pic that this Ask is referring to. I figured, however, that said follow-up will probably not be for a while, so in the meanwhile why not do a little preview/teaser with this answer?
Also, here’s a new episode of Near Talk! No real topic this time, just sharing my personal holiday experiences.
