[0189] Show’s Over,…

The current story arc started with this strip: Hit-Boy.

Yuna’s line is a direct reference to Hit-Girl’s message to her viewers after the most emotional scene in Kick-Ass. See the clip on YouTube (Duration: 7 seconds). SPOILER WARNING!

One more reason why Sandra and Woo is not in American newspapers. xD

  • Brandon: Ow!
  • Yuna: Freedom for the peoples of Burma, motherfuckers.

    Why is Ye Thuza holding him down when it was cloud who tackled him?
    I suppose Cloud is skilled enough to bring him down, but may too young to be strong enough to restrain him for especially long.

    To explain, for those who are confused – In the movie Kick-Ass, the character Hit Girl is…VERY foul-mouthed. It’s a somewhat jarring aspect of her character, as is the borderline child-abuse aspect of her training to make her into such an unstoppable machine of death.

    Both of these things were almost certainly intentional in the director’s part, as Kick-Ass definitely is not a movie one watches to feel ‘comfortable’. But darn it’s a good one.

    All that said, Yuna seems to have a bit of a mouth on her regardless (her calling Cloud “pussy” at the beginning of this story arc for example, though this may just be a nationality disconnect on my part?)

    I can’t help but love her though, because she’s an awesome little creature with the name of my favorite female Final Fantasy character. Looking forward to where the comic goes next!

    standard procedure, one to perform the disarm, as cloud did, the other team partner to establish physical control of the perp which ye thusa did. cloud, by the way, showed himself better aquainted with that “bali song” knife than its former owner. my daughter, son and i each own one, given to us by a filipino friend. it takes some practise to learn that opening and closing “flck” but its worth the effort. as for the yob, he’s going to have “interesting times. possible charges can include “assault, deadly weapon”. “assault on a police officer” “attempted murder of a police officer” “possession of a controlled substance, with intent to distribute”, and depending on local laws, “illegal possession of a dangerous weapon.” the prosecuting attorney is going to enjoy this one when it comes to trial, the defense attorney, not so much. as for the thug, the top songs on his personal hit parade will be “99 years” and “working on the chain gang.”

    Love the wrap of that arc. I didn’t know that any heroes that ar enot super-heroes..and especially that are not DC or Marvel… would wear costume (don’t we all sometimes dream of wearing our underpants over the trousers? and what boy does not wonder what he’d look like in tights?)

    @the dark ferret:
    That is pretty much modern fashion that ‘vigilante’ are outlawed. There have been times when defending/upholding the law and protecting the peace was the duty of every free citizen, not the priviledge of a few uniforms…and since the officials have their hands tight to their backs by a bunch of paper pimps and bean counters, vigilantes are the only ones capable of fighting crime.

    @Pyro:
    Her calling him ‘Pussy’, same as her mother called him, is slang and not what most of the world understands under the word ‘pussy’. In this case it stands for ‘Sissy’, ‘Wuss’, ‘Whimp’, Chicken’…(you get the picture)

    As for how old Yuna is… if Novil won´t tell us, I think a little math can narrow it down a bit. She´s named after a FF10 character, so she can´t have been born before the game was published – same with Cloud and FF7, but in his case his parents played FF7 together some time before the “let´s have a baby” phase. So if we take Cloud´s age (I would guess 12-13 now, assuming he was 11, like Sandra, when the comic began) and subtract the interval between FF7 and FF10 being published, plus maybe 1-2 years for good measure, we have an age for Yuna.

    Many years ago, I had the chance to do something like that.

    Was driving down a main, multi-lane road and had to stop at a red light with a few other cars. When, suddenly, one car was unloaded with four white men and they charged, yelling and beating on another car, filled with four black men. I could have been brave and stepped in to try and counter this…but…like most…

    …oh, and should I mention that I had the reindeer suit on, at the time?

    Speaking as a LONG-time teacher in Los Angeles, CA– I’ve heard 4 and 5 year olds use language like this. Sadly, in these real life cases, it’s part of the home-life. Oh, and I’m not saying it is the accepted norm– it just exists.

    But if you remember in an earlier strip, Cloud’s own mother was calling him a “Pussy”.

    But I still think the fictional parents of Cloud and Yuna are better roll-models than the handful of real-life parents I’ve had to deal with over the years.

    Wasn’t referring to her martial arts training. I meant more the “exposing a young child to murder and violence and teaching her explicitly to do these things, while turning it into a game”. The last part (a line IN the movie) is especially uncomfortably close. But since one of the characters calls her father out on that exact thing, again, I think it was intentional.

    Good ending to the chase, wasn’t expecting little Yuna to have tagged along with them…

    And for all those wondering how Ye Thuza is restraining Brandon and Cloud isn’t. Here is a series of actions that has taken place…

    Ending of Last Page –
    Cloud Tackles, Puts Brandon to the ground. Brandon reaches out for Knife.

    First few pages of This page -
    Yuna steps on hand, collects Knife, strikes pose.
    Meanwhile unseen due to focus on the ‘New Challenger’ appearance.
    Ye Thuza presses down onto Brandon, Cloud dismounts, Ye Thuza turns Brandon over and locks his arms behind his back before sitting on top of him to apply pressure…

    I’ve been following the situation of Burma since the monk uprising in 2007. I believe that all countries in East Asia have much potential which has often been restrained by tyrannic and corrupt governments in the past. The situation has been getting better in most of the countries in the last decade or so, including Indonesia, but Burma is the exception to this.

    It’s also a good country if you want a character with a personal background as a “real” rebel who’s fighting against the government of his country.

    What makes you think I do not? I’ve read many articles about North Korea. Though I think North Korea is a very special case with the complete brainwashing of all the citizens and the isolation of the country over the course of decades. I’ve seen documentaries about Burma and the people there are fairly normal, and foreigners can visit the country mostly unsupervised.

    Nor could Cloud and his mom have contact with their relatives “back home” if they were North Korean – much less send them DVDs. I wonder if there are even any DVD players in private households in North Korea, outside the Party elite…
