Wishy Watches: RWBY and Akame ga Kill · 6:52am Feb 15th, 2016
RWBY
Happy singles awareness day, Jaune. :)
Well, shit. I guess that whatever 'It' is, it's fallen now. I'm gonna be blunt here- Pyrrha shouldn't have died. Not after saying goodbye to Jaune like that. Poor bastard probably feels like the crappiest level of crap- well, everyone seems to feel that way.
Ok, so I suppose Ruby's a Maiden too, I guess. Or maybe whatever the hell Qrow was talking about was something different. Whatever. Point is, something's up with that.
THE FUCK WAS THAT AT THE END? WHY CAN QROW BECOME A CROW? WHY COULDN'T WE SEE OZPIN FIGHT MORE, SHIT WAS BADASS! WHY CAN'T WE JUST MAKE WHITE ROSE AND BUMBLEBEE CANON YET? WHY IN THE FUCK CAN'T PENGUINS FLY?
So, casualty count:
-Penny (That dirty synth got what was coming for her)
-Pyrrha
-Yang's Arm
-Happiness in General
-Ozpin(?)
-Emerald and Mercury (Where the hell are they?)
-Cinder(?)
-Dragon Grimm
-A Stadium
-A School
-A City
-Torchwick (Rip in peace, you loveable bastard)
-Neo(?)
Akame ga Kill
I don't really have a punny non-spoiler to put here.
Well, they fiaally did it. Akame ga Kill is the only Anime I know of that has the balls to not only slaughter about 75/76 of the cast you like, but the main goddamn character while they're at it! Yeah! He's dead! Poor bastard didn't even bang his one true love.
Oh yeah. Love. Happy Valentine's Day, everybody!
Mine was pretty damn great, if I do say so myself. I'm not gonna go into detail though, it was special. I wanna keep it that way.
Anywho, back to the anime.
Points for Wave finally fighting alongside Tatsumi and Bulat's beyond-the-grave badassery. I really don't have much else to say, so here's the casualty count for this one.
Casualty Count:
-My Innocence (Nah, that one's long dead.)
-Sheele
-Bulat
-Chelsea (Or however the fuck you spell it)
-Susanoo
-Lubbock (5/7)
-Mine (5/7)
-Tatsumi
-Eventually Najenda
-Doctor Stylish
-Kurome
-Justice Freak
-Bols
-Bols again because that man was 5/7
-Crap tons of Citezens
-Some Guards
-Honest's Son
-The Three Beasts
-Childhood Friends
Well, that was depressing. At least I don't rule from a dinghy anymore.

Just to point out:
1. What do you have against Penny?! She's as adorable and lovable as combat robots with advanced AI and personality goes!
2. Cinder and Adam shall both burn for what they've done.
3. Em and Merc are probably in some hideout or evacuated with the school.
4. Ozpin and Pyhrra are not dead (I REFUSE TO ACCEPT SUCH CRAP!!!), Neo probably not dead, and Roman... is probably dead, but I can see that bastard coming back and ranting on and on about how he was trapped in a Grimm's stomach for several days/weeks/months.
5. Ruby, like all main characters, has some secret badass ability/heritage we don't know about.
6. That girl at the end? My guess is either something like a Grimm Queen or Summer Rose (because show writers like to do jacked up shit like that) maybe after whatever supposedly "killed" her all those years ago and is pissed and back with a vengeance knowing Ozpin sent her on that suicide mission. Or am I the only one who thought it was coincidence that Grimm attacks suddenly started increasing during that particular year?
As for Akame ga Kill,
1. Sheele should NOT have died! She was my fave among Night Raid!!!
2. I also call bullshit on Mine, Tatsumi, and Susanoo dying.
3. Stylish... I liked him. I'd hire him as my hair stylist, TBH. But the guy was a sadist who didn't give two craps about the lives of his experiments/victims, not even those in his personal corps!
4. Justice Maniac got what was coming to her. One does not simply kill Sheele and go on living like nothing happened, WTF?! Life don't work that way, you psycho bitch!
5. Bols... rest in peace, you beautiful nutcase. We'll only barely understand you. You reminded me of Sheele.
6. We should've gotten to know Chelsea better, dammit! She bought Akame over with a freaking lollipop! Why you die so fast?! She was only in for like 3 episodes!
7. Kurome... despite being evil and misled, I think she could've been best left alive.
8. Lubbock shouldn't have died. He should've hooked up with Mez, who also should've survived IMO.
9. WTF?! HOW DO YOU KILL NAJENDA?! AFTER ALL SHE'S BEEN THROUGH?! IF YOU WANTED TO KILL HER, KILL HER OFFSCREEN, PRIOR TO THE EVENTS OF THE SHOW, YOU BASTARDS!!!
In other words, too much blood, death, and zero chance of possible spinoffs or sequel, absolutely no hope for that. Jeez, it's like Project Heartless with even more heartless! And here I was with my friend hoping to use some ideas from it. Screw that! I ain't killing off the entire lovable half of the cast except for two in the course of 20 episodes (as to me, no one of consequence died in the first 6)! Freaking psychos wrote this!
Okay, I think I'm done now... maybe...
3755558 I have nothing against Penny, I just had to make that joke.
In headcanon, Pyrrha never died. EVER.
Roman is definately pulling a Boba Fett. I think I liked him more than I should.
I just hope RWBY doesn't pull an Akame ga Kill and just start to kill off our favorite side characters and eventually have Ruby's power consume her/sicken her/force her to sacrifice herself.
Sheele didn't have enough time for me to really know her. Tatsumi and Mine aside, Lubbock is the true 5/7.
Stylish was fucked up, man. End of story.
I can't believe I though Justice Asshat was OK the first time I saw her.
Bols wasn't a nutcase! He was like, the best Jaeger out of all of them! Morally best, I mean. Wave is a close second.
Chelsea was... odd. I liked her, yeah, but she didn't have much development.
Who's Mez again?
To be fair, Najenda isn't dead yet.
The Manga is drastically different in terms of who lives and who dies. It's still ongoing, if I'm correct.
-Run dies
-Mine is comatose, not dead
-Tatsumi lives
-Wild Hunt exists
-Leone lives (Pretty sure she dies in the Anime)
-Putting the 'Curse' in 'Incursio'
-More Tatsumi and Akame subtext
-Leone hints at liking Akame
-Wave intterupts Akame and Kurome's duel to proclaim his love and take Kurome to some remote island where everything is 5/7
-BUT BOLS STILL DIES

3755568 RWBY should not even try it! The spirit of Monty Oum will come back to haunt and pull and AgK on all the story writers if they even attempt it! And yes, Pyhrra, in all headcanon, dodges the arrow when Ruby arrives and distracts Cinder.
As for AgK,
I only like Justice Bitch because of her augments; those are some badass mecha arm designs, I have to say.
Bol's not a nutcase, I just couldn't find the right word. He's like the only person, aside from Wave obviously, who actually has genuine regrets about mowing guys down. Wave just picked the wrong side at first IMO.
Chelsea... I liked her instantly. Not sure if it was the hair or the candy or her personality, but I liked her. She deserved more screen time.
Mez was the hot as fuck dark-skinned chick that fought Lubbock. She's the one with the body oil power and rib-shattering punch that Lubbock killed and actually had a shot with (I SHIP IT LIKE FEDEX; lUMEZ IS NEW HEADCANON!!!).
Side-Note: I'm doing another Heartless blog soon. What do you think: character profiles first or actual story scenes?
3755572 Character Profiles. If you wanna, run 'em by me if you want some help or critisism or whatever.
