Dragon Quest Meets Smash Ultimate
Smash Ultimate is a very extensive array of characters from multiple franchises. The most recent expansion is “The New Hero Draws Near!” Challenge. This installment in Smash means exclusive heroes from the eleven Dragon Quest games are appearing. Dragon Quest is a Japanese Role-Playing Game (RPG) that was published as Dragon Warrior outside of Japan. North America had it call by this name because the term had a trademark in a Dungeons and Dragons campaign called “DragonQuest.” Now, Dragon Warrior is now the original name from Japan and not as confused as before with D&D. The concept for the game is to defeat monsters in an open world setting in quests through the storyline. Four heroes from Dragon Quest that are available to play are Eleven (Dragon Quest XI S), Arusu (Dragon Quest III), Solo (Dragon Quest IV), and Eight (Dragon Quest VIII). Eleven is based on the recent release in the franchise which is Echoes of Exclusive Age Definitive Edition. He wields the Supreme Sword of Light and follows the name of the Dark Spawn. Solo and Arusu are part of the first two trilogies of the series of Erdrick and Zenithia. Erdrick deals with Arusu wielding the Erdrick's Sword while Zenithia has Solo with the Zenithian Sword and ties to the Hand of the Heavenly Bride game. Eight is the final hero and has his Dragovian King Sword. Fun fact, the voice actor for hero Eleven, Yuki Kaji, killed two birds with one stone of completing the dream of voice-acting for both Dragon Quest and Smash. The final Smash Attack is the rest of the Dragon Quest hero cast together blasting a beam attack for the K.O. Personally, Dragon Quest is interesting for me because I watched the anime version first without knowing the game. This package was released in Smash's Fighters DLC (24.99 dollars) on July 30, 2019, and each hero can be bought separately at 5.99 dollars. Come into the world of DQ and Smash where stories get bigger and diversity through the discussion video about The New Hero Draws Near!

To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts Anime Review
What is the true power of humanity? Is it the ability to think big, to feel first another, or even the drive for change. If it is one objective humanity has proven “if there is a will, then there is a way.” Humans feel compassion and want to leave an impact on their life. The question at hand is they going to leave behind on this plane of existence. The answer is not so cut and dry in the anime To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts. Incarnates, scientific man-beast hybrids based from myths, who make up a special squad in the North Army which they try to pull a victory over the South faction. This war is only briefly mentioned in depth in the first episode but the impact is striking. These Incarnates bridge the line between man and beast transformations. Eventually, man would revert to the beast and lose most of their soul. There are plenty of examples outside the war where one-on-one battles occur involving civilians' safety. Hank, the former Incarnate squad captain, takes full responsibility in taking on his comrades where the beast inside them has altered their minds. He personally takes all of this burden in saving them and trying to fix what Cain, vice-captain, unleashed upon the world with the Incarnates. Can Hank survive this ordeal and restore the promise he made with his squad.? He solely believes that the Incarnates shall only fall victim to another Incarnate and making good on his vow to face their suffering together. Humanity is capable of many things even in Hank's case ending the suffering of himself and fellow Incarnates. I feel very affected by this anime because it reveals the layers of humanity's strengths and weaknesses, Right before the Incarnates pass on, they all have a glimmer of humanity left to offer the world before the final blow. There are countless demonstrations of warfare and fatalities where viewers watch out for in the anime. Sometimes, we really should be thinking of the power of dreams, ideas, and the many memories we have in our minds. Humans are more than just beasts but are individuals trying to live in happiness and striving for a purpose.

DxD Anime in Yu-Gi-OH
Yugioh has countless people creating custom decks of their own design. A deck custom deck I came by is the DxD Archetype which was made by a user from Yugioh forums. The deck is based around fiend types and dark attributes which fits the anime well. Fiend types in this deck resemble the demon Gremory household and being dark refers to the transformation into demons. Also, each member of the Gremory household each has a vital role in involving chess pieces. The chess aspect is incorporated by the monster being their respected chess piece on the card. For example, Issei from High School DxD is a pawn and has that as the third card type on it. The third card type is special cards where additional conditions are placed on it like tuners (this special status applies to spirit, toon, Gemini, extra deck monsters, ritual, and other similar cards). Now back to Issei, he has the text of Fiend, Effect, and Pawn monster. Other third types are King, Bishop, Queen, Knight, Rook, and Ace with exclusive effects and once per turns as well. DxD focuses on equip cards giving them effects like shuffling spells/traps and monsters on the field and revealing that equip card to add that monster to the hand. Monsters can add the equip cards to the hand and allowing you the chance to attach to per exclusive monster associated with each specific spell. There are also effects to attacking again, gaining life points, adding from the graveyard to the hand, banishing cards, giving counters, and even granting attack boosts. The extra deck includes a special summon Fusion, Synchro, Link, and Rank 4 with many more effects. We saw the full chess aspect in High School DxD through battle like the monsters in battle during the duel. My favorite part of the custom deck is Issei being a vital piece in chess as the Pawn. Pawns are meant to block attacks, threaten spaces diagonally, and sometimes having class upgrades to other pieces (extra queen or others). The show gets really involved in DxD's lore and different characters and personalities. However, be cautious for the show contains lots of innuendo and moments deserving of viewer discretion advised. Believe it or not, I faced a similar custom of DxD on dueling book and only won thanks to Blue-Eyes Chaos Max Dragon. Overall, the ten main monsters and equip spells could both each have two copies while there could be 2 field spells and continuous traps making the deck have a total of 44 cards in it. Check out the link below with CAF further explaining his deck and the cards involved in his DxD Archetype.

Anime Conventions and It's Excitement
Conventions are ways for anime and anime-related fans go to seek out their fandoms. These fandoms are exciting, and normally are passions for people. Having a passion in these opens the door for other unexpected circumstances involving common interests. People go to conventions for many reasons; for example, cosplay, panels, streaming anime, gaming, guest speakers, vendors, etc. Cosplay at anime conventions incorporates various characters from all kinds of sources. This inspires some cosplayers to enter competitions and others to create their take on the character and costume aspect from the respected inspiration. The most thrilling feature about cosplay is not placing in the top ten but being proud of the final product. Panels are great ways to experience the overall atmosphere of the anime community. You get to explore a more in-depth approach to your passion whether it is testing your interest via trivia or an interactive activity. A panel exists simply for expanding your love and find more ways to enjoy the old or the new things about it. Streaming anime has become a common method for conventions to attract more guests to see popular shows and movies. The convention actually puts lots of effort to pay for anime viewing rights for guests to enjoy themselves in a screening room. Watching anime at a convention is refreshing with more individuals to watch it with and react to the content. Gaming involves console-based and tabletop versions where the art of playing to your heart's content is heavily embraced. Experiencing the feeling of the controls clicking away or the game pieces in your hands while playing is definitely something striking muscle memory. Games establish enjoyment just by the fact they have people in a different mindset similar to getting in the zone. Vendors are the one paying for booths and in hopes of a return on their resources from the public at the convention. Please view the products and see the people in these spots for they might seem more interesting than first expected. So, the next time a convention comes your way as it does for me on several occasions go to it. This entry was influenced by my experience in Getouei Con and how it made me realize the importance behind conventions.

IDOLiSH7 Vibrato “Let's Go, Summer”
Songs have a power that can move people and at times move a time period or a place in the world. The song that has this power is “Let's Go Summer” from IDOLiSH7 Vibrato. This song connects two groups in the anime who are TRIGGER and IDOLiSH7. It is a take of two groups forming and at the center a song driving lots of emotions. These emotions are said like “we pass the baton” (IDOLiSH7) and “this song is a trophy” (TRIGGER) in the anime. TRIGGER begins their debut through “Let's Go Summer” which is accidentally stolen from IDOLiSH7. IDOLiSH7 are just happy to see the song performed through TRIGGER. Their version of the song made the rival's music group focused on them. Also, this anime brings you on a journey of identity, friendship, happiness, the meaning of life, and many more anime tropes. IDOLiSH7 Vibrato is exclusively found on YouTube Originals while having eight episodes. BANDAI NAMCO Arts Channel embraced this idea of the spin-off from the success in the first anime series and the mobile game. TROYCA are the ones to thank for making the IDOLish7 series and plus, Aldnoah.Zero anime. “Lets Go Summer” is a wonderful song uniting people under the message to be happy and not live in sadness. Music has many approaches and styles to entertain its fans rather via emotions, song lyrics, meaning, the artist, symbolic, or other means. Check out the trailer for the formation of TRIGGER and more content involving IDOLiSH7. These episodes would slip by really fast so try to watch it sparingly if you can. Enjoy the love of music in pop 'IDOLs' and a generation of a new beginning for healing old wounds with these rivals.

Anime Items Becoming Reality
Anime has lots of items in its enticing storylines and arcs in the content. It is wishful thinking to desire an item to be real. However, the Death Note is a scary object where a person has too much power. People's lives lie in the fate of one person or Shinigami by writing a single name or names. Also, some items in anime do not strive the need for caution when it comes to the book. Sometimes, this is present in anime objects boosting a character's appeal, a plot, and maybe a show overall. Here is the list of things in anime that we might wish to exist in life and promote the boosting factor. Allmates are artistically created computers who have programmed intelligence by humans. Most of the time, Allmates are bought in the animal models where users have them for pet AIs. DRAMAtical Murder explores these AIs through them surfing the internet, different personalities, operated by speech, and fighting partners in Rhyme computer game. Disguise Pen allows a single click of a pen to have a different appearance than yourself. Usagi Tsukino (Sailor Moon) used the pen in Sailor Moon to transform into a radio announcer, a musician, a doctor, a stewardess, a photographer, a bride, a princess, a fortune teller, a sailor, and a kindergarten teacher in the anime. The bubblegum pink pen has 2 golden rings and a crown pointer with a huge red gem in the center. Angelic Layer has players competing in this game by using Angel dolls. These dolls are bought and customizable by Deus who move them by mind control. Also, dolls move on the field known as the layer and the Deus outwit others to win that round. Kero Ball is a sphere in Keroro Gunso that is a very powerful weapon with many buttons. Buttons on the ball are Realization, Transmission, Star, Planet Destruction, Overloading, Electric, Capture, Levitation/Anti-Gravity, and Miscellaneous. Finally, the Kero Ball has one last feature where it could change the understanding of this object entirely in Keroro. Items could be weapons, nifty tools, accessories, and other useful purposes in both anime and the world.

Anime Being Unmasked
Entertainment has countless attempts at revealing what is underneath someone's mask as a plot twist. This trend is heavily known in superheroes trying to keep their identities hidden from the public, and their loved ones. Anime has some examples of unmasking where the characters reveal plot shocking information. These plot twists have people greatly affected someone near them revealed under the mask or unexpected individuals. Rebuild of Evangelion is a different style to Neon Genesis and focusing on more uplifting characters. Asuka wears a full-face helmet and is seen revealing her face. This act makes the drastic show of her Eyepatch of Power more powerful and her past into the light. My Monster Secret has many characters hiding the truth from their classmates and even an identity covered by a box. We have Akane and Box Girl on a roof and Akane believes to know who it is until the facepalm moment of guessing wrong. Box Girl reveals her face a second time to Aizawa and Asahi where her face is Earth-shattering news. Lupin III is the grandson of Arsène Lupin a well-known thief who sent cards announcing the next theft being performed. The third Lupin is characterized as a master of disguise and latex perfectionist for infamous heists. He is known to unmask himself to taunt the people he stole from and especially Inspector Zenigata while escaping. Kinnikuman (Muscle Man) tells a story of Suguru Kinniku bringing back the prestige title, “Planet Kinniku's prince,” in a victory in a wrestling tournament. Warsman is defeated by Kinnikuman with the Kinniku Buster in the Mask Removal Death Match. He starts discussing things about his past and uncovers his half Robot and half Choujin face under the wrestling persona. Death Note reveals who is behind the Kira deaths and a surprising character revealing it. Near has a similar upbringing to L as a brilliant problem solver and detective. Near takes over in the Kira investigation and truly reveals the culprit once and for all. Unmasking in anime might not happen as much in superhero comics but holds significant value in telling a story and in delivering good content.

Anime IQs of Characters
Anime has constantly shown characters in being superhuman in warfare, abilities, sports, regular life and even in knowledge. An area to focus on is a character's overwhelmingly wit or astounding IQ level in the anime. These characters that are going to be mentioned are either considered genius-level people or rarely seen IQ numbers over 200 in their respected universes. The Elric brothers are said to have genius status several times in Fullmetal Alchemist. Edward and Alphonse practice to become expert alchemists and always strive for more knowledge especially a specific stone. Shoot, you can say they are 'philosophers' seeking the infamous Philosopher's Stone in the anime and manga. Momo Yaoyorozu is said to have an interesting quirk based on creativity and calories in food. My Hero Academia's Momo excels at strategic planning in battle and decisive choices quickly in many stimuli. She has S-rank intelligence making her very distinct to other quirk-related individuals. Shikamaru Nara is the type of student who did not take the Konohagakure's Ninja Academy seriously. After several shogi defeats, Asuma, Shikamaru's sensei in Team 10 in Naruto, noticed that his team member might have more to show than just his test scores. It is revealed in episode 64 of Naruto that this Nara clansman has an IQ score of 200 plus during Asuma's conversation with Kurenai. Kaito Kuroba takes on his father's identity of Kaito the Kid. He embraces the role of a successor by the title “Phantom Thief Kid” to steal gemstones and return them after the successful heist. According to Hakuba's analysis, Kid's IQ is 400 and flaunts his intellect in Magic Kaito primarily and brief appearances in Case Closed. Ami Mizuno is one of the protectors of the Solar System in Sailor Moon as Sailor Mercury. She possesses attributes associated with water and ice to aid her in battle alongside with highly specialized programming skills. Sailor Mercury uses her intelligence of 300 IQ to study her foes through a mini supercomputer to gain the advantage and leads the other Sailor Senshi really well. For an honorable mention, we have Alakazam; “Its brain can outperform a supercomputer. Its intelligence quotient is said to be 5,000.” from Pokedex entry #65 in Pokemon Red/Blue. Intelligence quotient (IQ) is just a measurement of perceived numbers for the brain. It is only accurate on the surface as the complexity of the human brain far exceeds just a number. There are many ways to prove yourself and test your skills in life.

Names for Anime Fandoms
Names often share a unique identity where people can use it to identify the specific noun. The importance of names is very apparent in people but also places, ideas, and other specific things. People feel more connected to something having a name like Fairies, Spiralists, Shinigamiphiles, Evageeks, or T&Bros. In the anime community, these names mentioned sharing the traits of identifying anime fandoms coined by fans. Fairies are the name that Fairy Tail members call themselves in their guild. Fairy Tail Zero answers the question of the fairy part in the name which the founder questioned if fairies had tails or not. Whether fairies have tails or not, does matter to some but the appeal of fairies is very mysterious in the anime. Spiralists refers to the power source in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Spiral power is the energy that humans and other spiral beings use to exist. There is also the movement that opposes the spiral power who are the Anti-Spirals. Shinigamiphiles might be an unusual name for the Bleach fandom but it is widely accepted. The name refers to the Shinigami aspect of Bleach which soulreepers fight against enemies who disrupt the balance of Soul Society. Fun fact, Ichigo is a Substitute Shinigami who eventually helps to fight overpowered antagonists in the anime. Evageeks has a huge following in the Neon Genesis Evangelion community. The term would be the name of the evageeks.org website as an of continuation of the Evangelion Commentary Project. The English side of NGE establishes 'evageeks' as endearing and welcoming to dubbed and maybe subbed fandoms. T&Bros is the name for Tiger&Bunny fans who are dedicated to this pair of superheroes. Kotetsu T. “Wild Tiger” Kaburagi and Barnaby “Bunny” Brooks Jr. is the unlikely pair of superheroes brought together by their employers. They have to cooperate with one another regardless if they want to or not in heroics. Names have meanings and are not just words explaining the life around us. Without names, the world would be the same and people would be lost in the meaning of individualism.

7 Seeds', Anime Review
Would you belive someone telling you that your future would be ever changed by one event? You will probably not believe any of the foolish words spewing from their mouth. Well, this event is the circumstance of the characters in 7 Seeds. 7 Seeds is an anime launched by Gonzo in partnership with Netflix as a Netflix Original Anime series. The magazine started in the early 2000s and tells the tale of a post-apocalyptic future of Earth. We start the series with glimpses of Natsu Iwashimizu in her corridors on a sinking ship to only be brought on a paddle boat. Arashi Aota, Semimaru Asai, the older Botan Saotome, and Natsu is all at sea trying to seek a refuge on a nearby island. Everything is changed for them when the rocky island reveals some startling secrets about their current reality and how they got to the island first of all. I like how the anime is presented in extreme situations and characters trying to survive like a sport team striving for victory but in the wild. I personally love the tale of star-crossed lovers' theme because it constantly connects the overlapping storylines and flashbacks to focus. Be aware this anime is raw and unfiltered in violence, language, and other mature content. “The main focus is survival, life and death, adventure,mystery, but also social interactions, relationships on different levels, working together, overcoming one's weaknesses, discovering what happened, self-reflection and growth.” from Folipurba's review on 7 Seeds on MyAnimeList. All of these things surface and more in the 7 Seeds anime. I hope people will watch this not just for the archetypes but also the mystery behind the meaning of 7 Seeds.
