.Since we're back on the topic, apparently the author made a statement about his writing....
"Kawahara comments that the reason why SAO uses THAT plot element this frequently is because such a plot element was used in no small number in the light novels, romance and adventure stories he had read in his mid-high school days. He gave 黄金拍車 [late '80s fantasy light novel] as a typical example of this. Kawahara has also said that he has been able to escape the curse of THAT plot element and believes he currently manages to induce catharsis through other means. While he would write the scene if it was absolutely necessary, he'd save it for a different genre of books than LNs."
I've also heard that Kawahara actually publicly apologized to the voice actress on Twitter over the scene in question. As terrible at it is that the plot element in question has kept re-appearing in the series, at least the author acknowledges he needs to stop using it so often & felt bad for the VA for having to deal with said scene. It doesn't make those scenes any better, but hopefully this means he understands not to try & shove it into every damn arc.
"buh dat's the author's CURRENT vision, dat's different"
There was apparently a statement, which I posted earlier (see above post since someone beat me to it). I've also been hearing that he actually apologized publicly to the voice actress on Twitter for having to do the scene, so it sounds like he recognizes his faults in handing such a plot element.Wait, did he actually say that?

Then why not rewrite the scene for the anime? He keeps doing it, apparently recognizes he's wrong, but then does nothing about it? Bruh, just do a quick rewrite for the anime. Make it a torture scene or an attempted murder scene. It's not hard to redo for the anime team.
Just spend the 5 minutes to go back and come up with a scene for the anime team to replace the old one with. Make it a murder instead of a rape. He could have put his foot down and said, "No, I was a hack at the time and it needs to be changed." Yeah, he says he feels bad but he's still making money off it and not doing anything about it. Talk is cheap. He doesn't even need to write it himself, let the production team do it.The source material for the current SAO arc was written like over ten years ago, I think. I'm pretty sure the author apologized and stopped writing that sort of thing altogether in his books.
We'll leave that up to all the people who want to argue about it & comparing the two the next time censorship gets brought up in gamng.Now my question is how would an extended torture or detailed murder scene be considered a lesser offense than rape (assuming the victims are the same two girls)?
If it's attempted murder vs what we already got? Yeah, they'd really have to try if they wanted to make it worse.Now my question is how would an extended torture or detailed murder scene be considered a lesser offense than rape (assuming the victims are the same two girls)?

He was forced to remove all of his clothing and tied to horses, which dragged him approximately six miles away to Smoothfield.
While the horses were pulling him, bystanders threw garbage, excrement, and other objects at Wallace as he made the journey to the gallows. They also hit him with sticks and whips.
[Once Wallace was secured, his executioner sliced off both his penis and testicles (called "emasculation"). Then, the executioner removed his intestines (known as "disembowelment" or "evisceration") and burned them, making sure Wallace witnessed the act. He was disemboweled for sacrilege.
If Wallace somehow managed to survive having his heart torn from his chest, he certainly didn't make it through what came next. The executioner cut off his head, thereby sealing his fate.
After Wallace was beheaded, he was quartered, which entails all four limbs being tied to separate horses, which then pull apart the body. Afterwards, Wallace's quartered remains were put on display around London as a warning. A piece each was hung at Berwick, St. Johnston, Stirling, and Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
Saw, but the game Jigsaw wants to play is SAO
Would probably make sense than actual sawSaw, but the game Jigsaw wants to play is SAO
........there we go, we got our hollywood live-action version of SAO
That would fall under my definition of "trying too hard to make it just as bad" lolNah, I meant like a straight up historical William Wallace-type murder-torture.
Idk, I need professional help.
Lucario died in his movie.I'm trying to remember if the newest Pokemon movie is the first time they've ever shown a Pokemon dying on screen. (It's a flashback, but still.)
I wanna say it is, if we don't count the knockoff Groudon that eats it in the Jirachi movie.
The only thing I remember about that movie is that Ash totally got kissed by a Pokemon
Golbat. Just look at him.Is there any Pokemon that gained more from getting an evolution than Tangela?
No one cared about Tangela.
Tangrowth tho.
Fun name. Good stats. Looks like he's ready to smack some fools.
Let's Go gets docked a full point for not having Crobat.Golbat. Just look at him.
I don't think I need to explain. On the other side, you have this majestic beast.
By the way, this guy? Faster than most legendaries.
Pretty much this. Gon wanted to be best friends with a fucking serial killer after level grinding on him for a few weeks. Gon befriended a grifter, Gon befriended prototype effeminate Sasuke. Gon isn't right in the head and has never been. So him going full bat shit over the death of his fathers protege, his only link to his father and the one that spurred him onto going on his journey into becoming a Hunter makes perfect sense. If a person ever looks at Gon's actions through the lens of sane logic then they're looking at him the wrong way. Gon has consistent logic, it's just fucked up to rational people.Gon went over to the assassin mansion of a kid he just met a few days ago, and got beaten with a stick just so he could pop in and see how he was doing. It's very in character for Gon to be freaking out like this over Kite
That sounds about right for Platinum.A genos game would consist of you doing well the first 30 seconds of a fight before getting completely destroyed
yep
Golbat. Just look at him.
