Ah, Sanzou. Continuing the proud tradition of being actually more badass that their original depictions. I mean, sure, she's basically reliant on Goku, but it takes some nerve to be willing to stand up for what is right unhesitatingly. (Also, lel. Chen's first action on meeting her is to drag her back.)
I think you should be familiar with Journey to the West, Chen?
I am eagerly awaiting the Ahsoka encounter. Seriously. I want to hear Chen's reaction to that. Too bad we won't be seeing any other hero until then if my memory serves right.
EDIT: I mean, in terms of Xuanzang depictions. Granted, muscle/martial arts Xuanzang seems to be more the trend recently... (Nasu Xuanzang, and that one joke/crack Chinese comic Xuanzang. The one that is just slightly less OP than Saitama. You know, Tang Hill/Mountain Burial? That one.)
I know Eiyuu Senki is an anachronistic mishmash of the most chaotic order, but somehow, a pre-modern society like Zipang possessing a concept of legal drinking age gets my inner historian crying faster than Arthurian Era Britain having colonized Hong Kong before the rule of Qin Shi Huang.
Chemical, or biological?It's good you realized your mistake, Daze, but also horrible that you even suggested chemical warfare in the first place. That stuff's banned under the UN for a good reason!
Chen's just probably grabbing a mish-mash of half-remembered military strategies that won battles and regurgitating them.
I was thinking it was in a shifty, obviously-lying tone.I realize this never came across in the text but this was said in the flattest tone I could manage.
So, how were you going to shoot down the unification festival idea?
I was thinking it'd be more like Independence Day.Once again point out that eventually people will exploit it for marketing potential but it'd be even worse because it'd probably be more like Black Friday.
And I don't need to explain the shit that goes down on Black Friday.
Because it/she really isn't all ''that'' beautiful, probabl-

The problem is, knowing Himiko the statues are going to be literally 99% pure gold. Which is soft. Like how soft? Soft enough that in all likelyhood it might deform under its own weight if it's big enough.
Do you want to see your golden likeness deform and melt slo-mo, Himiko? Imagine it. The body of the statue slowly melting under the weight, until people look at that Himiko statue and wonder just how hunchbacked were you? Imagine it! 100 years from now people will look at your hunchbacked statue and wonder just how did the now-gone princess become hunchbacked at such a young age?
Or perhaps people might want it? Because it's gold. Imagine waking up in the morning, then going out on a walk. Then you see that your golden image's head and arms are gone - chopped off and carried off by bandits in the dead of night. Imagine it, your statue, only the head and arms are gone! Here stands Headless Himiko! What then, Himiko?
Be brave, Chen! You'll find a woman who dresses decently and sensibly someday!
....maybe.
I will admit, I have been eagerly awaiting you reaching Ashoka for a while. And the not all-ages version is worse, as she doesn't have the coverage that the all-ages version has.We had Yamato but she uh, you know.
And something tells me Ashoka was either the lowest it could go or just a sign that things will get worse.
So, on to Mongolia next? Or a short interlude of Lancelot eating stuff? Or perhaps something else. Gotta be careful not to give hints about future events.
So, I gotta ask, NekoNekoBoy: Besides her state of dress (or lack thereof), what do you think of Ashoka based on the little you've seen of her so far?
Hey NekoNekoBoy , who's your favorite girl so far? I need to know because I'm a filthy shipper.
