My hero! Actually 1/2 of my characters personality is based off of this man. Below there is a picture of him with flowers growing out of his head. ANother time he uprooted daikon radishes and made a uniform out of them. He plays the flute, and by that i mean be blows into it while he moves his fingers rapidly over the holes.

He learned this trick to clap in front o someone and have pidgins land on their shoulders, but you need to keep the pigeons in your sleeves for it to work so he needs to catch new pigeons every time.

Sounds like a strange but interesting character. No wonder Billgar the Emperor is wierd and doing funny things all the time. Like sneaking into the tavern....

Lol, hey i had to ge the remains of Sadaharu out of there somehow after i had stormed out in a humiliated defeat! However, like i said he only accounts for half of my characters personality.

I really hope he's not wearing the flowers.... anyways, he does remind me of your.... eccentricness.... why didn't you just cut out the profile of him and use him as your avatar? You can attach facial hair, somehow.

That guy sounds rather weird and great. That anime must be... something. Anyways your character should have the ability to make your tonsor go on anyone's shoulder if you clap.

Now Koku that IS a great idea.

As for bean, because i like to make everything myself. Yes i could have edited his image in any number of ways and obviously the art of the people who animate Saiunkoku Monatagari is better than mine, but i wanted it to

a.) be my own
b.) match the website.

Indeed, it is why I use the one I do to. I like it, and even if there is something close to me this is the best. Also, the guy does look great, and I can only imagien he has some untouched power of doom.

Ummm...well everyone in that series does though very few are super natural. though he does fight some guys using the flute as a "sword".

Koku · Posted: Wed Jul 16, 2008 3:59 pm Post subject:

Well according to something I read in a manga (so mostly fake), a thing does not need to be sharp to cut. It takes a lot of talent, and just makes him even cooler. I think your kiseru may be able to be used the same way.

Oyama(a man who started a karate style "Oyama") which is quite popular, as able to cut a class beer bottle with his hand in a karate chop. Not very clean of a cut, but he didnt bleed from it, and the base of the bottle, remained where it was..

Koku · Posted: Wed Jul 16, 2008 4:24 pm Post subject:

That is absolutely amazing and also very scary. To spread the force to directly is unbelievable and deserves respect. That must also be what ran did when using the flute as a sword.

The flute as a weapon reminds me of Eiko from Final Fantasy IX, although she used it as a club rather than a sword. The guy that broke the bottle also reminds me of the guy that can light fires by concentrating energy to his hand.

As for Ryuuren, there had to be a deadly side behind those... flowers.

Those things are kind of weird. The person who cut the glass was real, and can possibly do it, but I do not know of anyone who can legitimately start a fire by concentrating energy, it seems improbable and highly unlikely. As for cutting the beer bottle, the person you know who could cut apples in half has competition.

I saw it on the news. He was even shocking the crew with static electricity, but it was all done because he meditated and concentrated heat into his hand. I wish I could find a video on it, but no luck.

Yeah... don't believe everything you see on the news. Hate to tell you this but they're not 100% refutable these days and fox has actually admitted to hiring people to write facts. Also with show like Chris Angel Mind Freak and stuff, you really can't believe things. Sorry to break this to you.
