Nansou Satomi Hakkenden: How Battle Style is Torimono Juujutsu/Arrest Tactics?

Image
I requested that illustrator an illustration, "Momonari Junta and Anchovy, as Inukai Genpachi are showing orbs of `信(Shin/faith)`". And Inukai Genpachi in Nansou Satomi Hakkenden specializes in Torimono Juujutsu/arrest tactics with jitte. Recently, I think what is Torimono Juujutsu, and researched it in Youtube. According to this video, it was said that Torimono Juujutsu with jitte was generated in Kyoho Reforms in Edo periods. And Torimono Juujutsu seemed it was mixed with jitte tactics and judo to me. I had thought, that Torimono Juujutsu is like piercing-centered tactics like Makashi in Star Wars, who is mastered by Count Dooku. But it must be wrong. The hook part of jitte seems to it can catch Japanese Sword easily. But, jitte is 30-60cm and a bit short. I think jitte isn't practical if it's not a bit longer. I tried to imagine the battle style of "Momonari Junta and Anchovy as Inukai Genpachi". It would be like, "With using jitte, they do piercing-...

Kusoge/The Junk Game, "Takeshi No Chosenjo/Takeshi's Challenge Letter"

Image
Recently, when I have free time, I watch the videos of the game, "Takeshi No Chosenjo(日本語:たけしの挑戦状)/Takeshi's Challenge Letter" in YouTube. As "Kusoge(日本語:糞ゲー):the junk game", this game has been infamous in the game fans. This game is, that the hero, the lame office worker, searches a treasure in South Pacific. However, in this game, the goal of this game never been shown. I think most people had thought, that this game is what the hero only walks around in the world. And, more thinking, to find a treasure, the hero in the game have to both quit from his company and get divorce. In the real, It's too risky. The world view in the game is hard, and the hero will die if we choose wrong route. In various route, the traps are hiding. And in the ending of the game, Beat Takeshi (Mr. Kitano Takeshi) appears and tells, "Why have you gotten serious to such game?" It's brutally frank of this saying. This game published on Dec 1986. Why did Mr. Beat Takesh...

Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors of “Harem Protagonists”!? or “Garupan Captain Group”!? -Extra Edition: “Inuyama Dosetsu” of Ichijou Raku and Nishi Kinuyo-2

Image
Again, I requested Mihoniumu-san(@gupmihoniumu, key(gaigaigai123)) an illustration. In this time, it's "As Inuyama Dosetsu, Ichijou Raku and Nishi Kinuyo are showing the orb of ''Chuu(忠)/loyalty". Raku and Kinuyo: We’re Inuyama Dosetsu Tadatomo. We have the orb of Chuu(忠)/loyalty. I prefer, Ichijou Raku and Nishi Kinuyo as Inuyama Dosetsu, most. Raku as Dosetsu who expresses aggressive and volititional. Kinuyo as Dosetsu who cotes flame and are the most beautiful in Dosetsu's world. Both of them impacted me strongly! In next times, I requested Mihoniumu--san illustration, of pairs of Inukai Genpachi (Momonari Junta and Anchovy). HAKKENSHI! FIGHT FOR JUSTICE!! Casting of  "Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi"  and  "Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi"  is below. Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi 仁(Jin)/benevolent: Inue Shinbei: Kasugano Haruka(Yosuga No Sora): (CV: Shimono Hiro) 義(Gi/justice): Inukawa Sosuke: Manaka Junpei(Ichigo 100%): (CV: Suzum...

Nansou Satomi Hakkenden: Is Inusaka Keno a Little Gay?

Image
Since Edo Period, Inusaka Keno, the warriors of "智(Chi/wisdom)" has been very popular. Because “He is a beauty man like female, and he's no discomfort even if he becomes cross-dressing.” “He is extremely cruel despite of beauty people, and even kill women and children of enemy family without hesitating.” But he has a bit human touch. It's that he is a little gay. In original work, there is "Asakeno's woo to Kobungo". Asakeno is Keno's fake name as the female dengaku performer, and he flirted with Inuta Kobungo, the warrior of "悌(Tei/brotherhood)", with condition that Keno will release Kobungo from the prison. He even said and offered his head to Kobungo, "I want to be killed by you if this love won't become true." By unknown reasons, Kobungo responded it. However, in ancient Japan, "Shudou(日本語:衆道)/male homosexuality" like this was not rare. For example, Yajirobee(Yaji-san) and Kitahachi(Kita-san), the heroes of Tokai...

Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors of “Harem Protagonists”!? or “Garupan Captain Group”!? -Extra Edition: “Inukawa Sosuke” of Manaka Junpei and Nishizumi Maho-3

Image
Again, I requested Mihoniumu-san(@gupmihoniumu, key(gaigaigai123)) an illustration. In this time, it's "As Inukawa Sosuke, Manaka Junpei and Nishizumi Maho are showing the orb of ''Gi(義)/justice". Junpei and Maho: We’re Inukawa Sosuke Yoshito. We have the orb of “Gi(義)/justice.” Now I think about it more, both Junpei and Maho are "the legend". Junpei is "the legend" of harem protagonists (perhaps also as the protagonist of Jump Comics) Maho is "the legend" of Senshado. However, why have I casted them as the plainest part of Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors? Even me, I don't understand. In next times, I requested Mihoniumu--san illustration, of pairs of Inuyama Dosetsu(Ichijou Raku and Nishi Kinuyo). How will be the quality? Casting of  "Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi"  and  "Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi"  is below. Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi 仁(Jin)/benevolent: Inue Shinbei: Kasugano Haruka(Yosuga No...

The Origin of "Hattoku/The Eight Virtue".

Image
One of the key phrases in Nansou Satomi Hakkenden is "Hattoku (八徳) /The Eight Virtue". In other words, ・仁( Jin/benevolent ) ・義( Gi/justice ) ・礼( Rei/courtesy ) ・智( Chi/wisdom ) ・忠( Chuu/loyalty ) ・信( Shin/faith ) ・孝( Kou/filial piety ) ・悌( Tei/brotherhood ) Of course, these virtues have been derived Confucian, but the history is shorter term comparively. However, in Edo period of Japan, they were common in society, and bad people (particularly, people buying women) had been called as "Bouhachi (忘八) /people forgetting 'Hattoku'".     I wanted to know about origin of Hattoku, so I consulted Chat GPT again.     According to it, at first, there were five virtues by Mencius and Dong Zhongshu below: " 仁 ", " 義 ", " 礼 ", " 智 " and " 信 " They had been called as "Gojo (五常) /Five Constant Virtue". After long time, it was said early confucian texts, " 忠 ", ...

I’ve Continued to Try and Error My Video Compilation-134 : The Duel of Horyukaku/Horyu Tower by Harem Protagonists, from Nansou Satomi Hakkenden-2

Image
By Image Generator (former PixAI) V3.2 and Domo AI, I generated an animation, that The Duel of Horyukaku/Horyu Tower by Harem Protagonists from Nansou Satomi Hakkenden again.     Itou Makoto as Inuzuka Shino and Momonari Junta as Inukai Genpachi are battling on the roof. I've been surprised that we can add voice and sound into animations in Image Generator. I wanted to hear Namba Keiichi and Hirakawa Daisuke's voice from this animation. Even if I've understood it's impossible. Casting of  "Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi"  and  "Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi"  is below. Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi 仁(Jin)/benevolent: Inue Shinbei: Kasugano Haruka(Yosuga No Sora): (CV: Shimono Hiro) 義(Gi/justice): Inukawa Sosuke: Manaka Junpei(Ichigo 100%): (CV: Suzumura Kenichi) 礼(Rei/courtesy): Inumura Daikaku: Yuiga Nariyuki(We Never Learn): (CV: Oosaka Ryota) 智(Chi/wisdom): Inusaka Keno: Yuuki Rito(To Love Ru): (CV: Watanabe Akino) 忠(Chuu/loya...

I’ve Continued to Try and Error My Video Compilation-133: The Duel of Horyukaku/Horyu Tower by Garupan Captain Group, from Nansou Satomi Hakkenden-2

Image
Since long time, I've not used Image Generator (the former PixAI). So, until now, I've not known, that we can add sound and voice into animations made by Image Generator and V3.2. I think it's derived from Sora 2, but I'm very surprised! By Image Generator V 3.2, I generated an animation from "The Duel of Horyukaku(日本語:芳流閣)/Horyu Tower by Garupan Captain Group" , based on Nanso Satomi Hakkenden again. I've been very surprised for voice and sound added suitable to the illustration. But, as I think, it's difficult to actual Yoshioka Maya and Fuchigami Mai's voice, isn't it? Of course, I'll generate an animation "The Duel of Horyukaku/Horyu Tower by Harem Protagonists" . But it seems that it needs much time.

Cooking By Own-29

Image
Yesterday, as dinner, I cooked again. In this time, I made Cheese gyoza. My mother recommended that I need more vegetables, so she added carrots and a strawberry. At any rate, my made cuisine's article is a far more popular than Hakkenden and Garupan related articles. At a glance, many cuisines look tasteless. It seems many people prefer watching Japanese citizens's cuisine. Is it the best for me to feature ingenious cuisine for featuring my blog?

I Think It's Made Very Well as Taking Breaks -Impression of Girls Und Panzer Motto Love Love Tactics 1st Chapter-

Image
“She ran across the battlefield in her white form, cutting even the strongest enemy with a single blow.  She was respected by her allies as a spiritual pillar, and feared by her enemies, who called her the "White Devil."” Honestly, I want Nishizumi Miho to be called as so, particularly "Nishizumi Miho as Inuzuka Shino". Preface is long, but I'll introduce the impression of Girls Und Panzer Motto Love Love Tactics 1st Chapter. Honestly, it's made very well as taking breaks. Particularly, the story that Miho and Itsumi Erika become lost children was very heartful. The figure that Miho and Erika is taking their hands was very cute! This movie was made the story chosen from the best story in original works. I thought we didn't need three times opening and ending, but Anchovy who was pushed around by Anzio students was very cute! Anchovy's funny faces who meet BC Freedom Highschool's student is also very good. In Motto Love Love Tactics, Anchovy is th...

Nanso Satomi Hakkenden: Is Inuzuka Shino Talented or Goofy?

Image
In original work and so on, Inuzuka Shino, the first hero of Hakkenden, is portrayed, as the master of learning and martial, serious, dignified and talented man. But some fanfiction emphasizes his dumb. In OVA "The Hakkenden" and Ms. Aomata Pinku's comics "Hakkenden", Inuzuka Shino is portrayed as very dazed man. Ms. Aomata said, "Among Hakkenshi, only Shino is likely to stomp the dog's poo when they're walking the street." (By the way, I think it's also suitable to both Itou Makoto and Nishizumi Miho.) And The book,"Bakusho Hakkenden(日本語:爆笑八犬伝)/Laughing Hakkenden" said "Inuzuka Shino's cross-dressing is goofy rather than filial. In original work, Shino became the master of learning and martial and the one man army when he was a child, but he's somewhere goofy. For example, ・He had rided his dog instead of the horse ・He hadn't noticed he hadn't been suitable his cross-dressing. ・For 3 weeks, he hadn't take...

Recently, My Life Has Been Self-Indulgent.

Image
Recently, my life has been self-indulgent. I haven't made any days of no drinking and my weight hasn't decreased. I often go to ChocoZAP with my father again. It can't be helped because my metabolism energy has decreased on account of becoming about 40s. However, I've thought after I had gotten a illustration "Itou Makoto and Nishizumi Miho, as Inuzuka Shino, are showing orbs of ''Kou(孝)/filial piety" by Mihoniumu-san(@gupmihoniumu, key(gaigaigai123)) I've wanted to expand Japanese culture such as Hakkenden, sumo and so on, for making Japan an oriented-tourism country. I've understood I can't do it in a short time. For it, I have to maintain both my physical strength and my energy. I have to become healthy by losing weight and so on. I have to skip eating Famichiki and drinking liquor. But can I do it now?

Is Nanso Satomi Hakkenden Super Sentai/Power Rangers in Japanese Edo Period?

Image
Some says,  "Nanso Satomi Hakkenden is Super Sentai/Power Rangers in Japanese Edo Period." According to my theory, they're similar but different. They are both moralistic tales. However, Super Sentai/Power Rangers feature their teamwork most. But inversely, they're not invincible if they're not unite completely. In contrast, Hakkenshi/Eight Dog Warriors, 8 heroes in Nanso Satomi Hakkenden, are one man army even if they're alone. I questioned Chat GPT whether Hakkenden and Super Sentai/Power Rangers is similar or not. It introduced both similar points and different points. Similar points ・Ensemble “team” structure: Hakkenden is fundamentally about assembling a destined group of heroes; Sentai is also team-centric. ・Clear “signature identities”: Sentai uses colors/suits/roles; Hakkenden uses names/marks/beads/virtues to distinguish and bind the heroes. ・Quest / gathering arc: the “find the others / unite the party” dynamic will feel familiar if you like team-for...

Rurouni Kenshin: What Should We Call Troopers Subordinated By Kanzato in English?

Image
Kenkaku Heiki, the new enemy of Kenshin, has appeared in Hokkaido Arc. In English, they are called as below: (Reference: Fandom(https://kenshin.fandom.com/wiki/Kenkaku_Heiki)) Commanders Itekura Byakuya: The Eccentric Kanzato Gouto: The Supreme Fuyukai : The Benevolent Shimonji Rurio: The Gem Reisen: The Strange Troopers subordinated by Itekura Doi Mogura: The Earth Gonguu Gougou: The Fake Amachi Mikoto: The Wisdom Isagawa Itoi: unknown Troopers subordinated by Shimonji Ono Tomitaka: The Axe Honda Udoku: The Record Recently, we found troopers' name subordinated by Kanzato. Perhaps, we should call them as Tatsuse Yuusei: The Flying Tadokoro Rokuro: The Love Surenda Manji: The Sting It seems that the names of Kenkaku Heiki in English are a bit different to Japanese in Fandom.

I've begun to use Reddit.

Image
To expand Hakkenden to foreigners, I've started to use Reddit. Because Chat GPT recommended me to use Reddit to expand Hakkenden. I've not understood yet, how the difference is between X(former Twitter) and Reddit. But, anyway, I have to do everything to expand Hakkenden to foreigners. At first, I joined a community of Girls Und Panzer's fans. And I introduced illustrations, "Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi" . I've been happy for illustrations to become a bit popular. But, more and more, I can't say much about "Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi" . How and where will I introduce them? Anyway, I have to become more serious if I want to expand Hakkenden to foreigners. I also have to use MyAnimeList, DeviantArt and so on.

I’ve Continued to Try and Error My Video Compilation-129: “Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi” and “Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi” Are Kissing Ver 2.

I made another animation and publish in Youtube, that is " 'Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi' and 'Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi' are kissing in 8K version". But it seemed it didn't go well. So I made another animation, "60fps Version." I could generate this video by DomoAI and PowerDirector 365. Its moving is smooth. I want to make Image Generator Version. But it needs a bit time.

I’ve Continued to Try and Error My Video Compilation-128: “Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi” and “Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi” Are Kissing.

 I published this video in Niconico Douga. "'Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi' and 'Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi' are kissing." https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm45383163   At first, I wanted to make this video by only Domo AI. But, by Domo AI, I couldn't generate animations very well, about "Yuiga Nariyuki and Mika as Inumura Daikaku" and "Ichijou Raku and Nishi Kinuyo as Inuyama Dosetsu". So I use PixAI instead for them.     The image quality is a bit rough, isn't it? I'm making 8K image quality version now, I think about image quality this time.

Recently, I've done nothing for spreading foreigners about Hakkenden.

Image
Recently, I've done nothing for spreading foreigners about Hakkenden. Hakkenden is the story, that Hakkenshi, the 8 justice samurais, destroy evils and revitarize Satomi Clan. I've already introduced Hakkenshi /8 justice samurais. I want to introduce Tamazusa, the key antagonist, next, but I have insufficient information. With more thinking, as the test type for spreading foreigners about Hakkenden, I have illustrations, "Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi" and "Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi" . But I can't still use them effectively. Now, I'm planning to generate animations, " 'Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi' and 'Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi' are kissing each other". I can generate them if I use Domo AI, but I don't want to watch them in the part of my soul and by some reason. However results will become, but I need to generate the animations. To spread foreigners about Hakkenden. Because the illustrations a...

How to Fascinate Foreigners by Attraction of Sumo

Image
In Osaka, there is The Sumo Hall Hirakuza Osaka, which is the venue promote fascination of Sumo. It's near of Hanshin Railway/Kintetsu Railway "Osaka-Namba Station". The homepage is “https://hirakuza.net/”     It's said it often holds sumo shows and sumo workshop experience. And it introduces history of Japanese sumo.     To introduce sumo-related places such as The Sumo Hall Hirakuza is also to inform sumo's fascination, isn't it?     On the way going to Osaka EXPO 2025, Should I go to The Sumo Hall Hirakuza? Because I want to know about sumo more, to introduce sumo's fascination.

Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors of "Harem Protagonists"!? or "Garupan Captain Group"!? -Extra Edition: Clash!! The Duel in Horyukaku/Horyu Tower!!-

Image
 I made Mr. Mihoniumu-san(@gupmihoniumu, key(gaigaigai123)) draw two illustrations, "The Duel in Horyu Tower", which is the duel of Inukai Genpachi and Inuzuka Shino. Momonari Junta as Inukai Genpachi and Itou Makoto as Inuzuka Shino version Junta as Genpachi: Wow, look at you!! What's your name? Makoto as Shino: Itou Makoto...No actually...INUZUKA SHINO MORITAKA!! Anchovy as Inukai Genpachi and Nishizumi Miho as Inuzuka Shino version Anchovy as Genpachi: Wow, look at you! What’s your name? Miho as Shino: Nishizumi Miho..No actually..INUZUKA SHINO MORITAKA!! Actually, the duel of Horyukaku/Horyu Tower occurred in sweltering heat in the day of summer. In their illustrations, the duel is described in the night, but please don't worry about the details. Such as Hakkenden, Kanjin Sumo and so on, I may prefer Japanese Edo culture. Please also show this video. This is the Battle in Horyukaku/Horyu Tower in Satomi Hakkenden(2006), TBS special drama. Like these things, with m...
