What vidya characters should be chosen to represent America if the country is to host the next Olympics?
What vidya characters should be chosen to represent America if the country is to host the next Olympics?
The fuck? Why isn't Pikachu or Mario on there, but Literally Whokai Watch is there?
Back toy your question though OP. For vidya, it would probably be Crash Bandicoot.
Well you have to remember that Yokai Watch was an absolute phenomenon in Japan. I'm more puzzled by Mahoutsukai Precure's inclusion. You'd think they'd choose like the first Kamen Rider or Goranger or something.
Mario was used for the official introduction on Brasil user. The prime minister dressed as him.
boo
Yokai Watch is more popular then Pokemon in japan
It really should have just been Goku. Outside of maybe Mario and Godzilla, he's probably the most internationally recognizable character from Japan, and his character sort of goes hand-in-hand with the spirit of the Olympics, what with his constant drive for competition, and pushing himself beyond his physical limits. I guess that would apply to Naruto and Luffy too, but they're sort of redunant, considering that they're both inspired by Goku anyway.
I'd add the Doomguy, even if Master Chief is more popular, he doesn't have a first game that is almost ported to every machine and is WAY more moddable than most games out there.
If was even bigger than Windows 98.
AKIRA
Seriously if they dont at least play some music from Akira at the 2020 Olympics im gonna be pissed.
>Mahou Precure
>wasn't that popular
>Not even airing anymore
Toei should have just designed some Olympic Cures
should be a cute furry
>No HxH
>No JoJo
>No Akira
>No Pokemon
What the fuck
Who the fuck even remembers HxH anymore. Why is this meme going so far
>is
Was for while, Yokai Watch sells have been gradually dropping a lot as of later games.
》all that toei trash
Really makes you think
>Kom Sussex Tod plays when It's all over
I'm excited for niplympics.
You don't seem to understand that it's a huge franchise, not 1 show. It's been airing for over a decade
you should kill yourself
Should I watch Shin Chan?
It's poop joke trash for the chink plebs.
>good
>ok
>who
>shit
>shit

Who the fuck are the characters on the far right?
Why isn't Mario or Pac-Man there?
Where's fucking Pikachu
>le mainstream opinion man
One Piece is fucking great go fuck yourself
mario is a mascot
pokemon company is incredibly autistic and picky and probably won't let the olympics use pikachu
none of those characters are explicitly vidya though
Do you honestly think Jojo and Akira are anywhere near the level of recognition the characters in OP's pic are? Japan isn't some magical land of anti-plebness, they have dumb popular franchises too
>>No HxH
>>No JoJo
>>No Akira
No general audience knows any of that shit, try again
Good enough kids comedy anime. New episodes are barely subbed though.
Who else?
JoJo is incredibly well known all over Japan, but overseas it's only known about through certain people on imageboards and MAL and shit.
>Luffy
>Naruto
>No Ichigo
How will Kubo ever recover
>JoJo is incredibly well known all over Japan
It's only sold 1/4 the amount of Wan piss
Good, JoJo is trash
It's still known and influential. But nothing will topple One Piece ever which makes sense for Luffy being in the lineup.
He won't.
Bleach didn't have the lasting popularity of those other 2, similar to what happened with Toriko, plus it isn't either as well known internationally nor gives the same family friendly vibe of the rest of characters.
>No Godzilla
Who even are the bitches on the right?
JoJo doesn't really have a singular main character, apart from Jotaro I suppose but he hasn't appeared since Part 6.
It's definitely the best worst anime of the Naruto - Fairy Tail - Ichigo etc circle shit
>You don't seem to understand that it's a huge franchise, not 1 show. It's been airing for over a decade
I do but Magical and Miracle are the main stars of one small part of a huge franchise.
The other characters ARE their shows/franchise.
It doesn't make sense from a promotion standpoint especially since there's going to be four Precure series after mahou by the time 2020 rolls around
>precure
The hell? Is it really that famous?
>Anime
I can't comment since I only read the manga which is fucking great, Eiichiro Oda is a good storyteller
Pretty Cure. Think magical girls that punch shit really hard/anime hero tokusatsu for 7 year old girls and 20+ year old men. The ones in the lineup has had their season finished for a while as well.
Marvel/DC characters maybe?
Nathan Drake, Gordon Freeman, Lara Croft.
Mahous were cute despite their show kinda sucking.
Mirai miracle of the universe
>punch shit
How about a make you a cake nigga
Isn't Hajime no Ippo one of the most popular mangas in Japan, why isn't that represented?
>anime
LOL
The purple and red lesbians are the best ones
Maybe 30 years ago. Welcome to numerica.
Ashita no Joe is far more popular and classic and isn't in either, not every popular manga has an easily recognizable mascot or character attached to them that could work, specially not ones that people from other countries can recognize.
You could fucking make Kirito from SAO one of them. Or Subaru from Re:Zero.
>Bugs Bunny
>Mickey Mouse
>Spongebob
>Finn and Jake
>Superman
>Spiderman
>Disney Princess
>Steve Minecraft
There we go, Burger roster complete
Sub-Zero
Vault Boy
Master Chief
Blitzcrank
Tracer
Those are really the only "Iconic" ones I can think off
Duke Nukem
HxH is masterpiece
go fuck yourself
Those aren't as popular with the mainstream as you may think, not even in Japan.
That's debatable.
Can we all agree yellow (custard) a shit though?
The only thing I know about any Precure is that Shiny Luminous' design gives me a boner of steel
>Minecraft
That's Swedish fucking idiot
fucking Toei pushing their shit characters
at least use only the vintage ones but NOOOO let's use precures and fucking Luffy
>Astro Boy
Robt
>Sailor Moon
Reincarnation of a princess
>Luffy
Son of a legendary international terrorist
>Naruto
Literally ninja Jesus reincarnated
>Goku
Legendary Super Saiyan
None of these characters are what the Olympics are even about.
Rock Lee would have been a better representation because it's an under dog story.
True best girl is the tomboy. Autistic custard girl can fuck off.
Probably due to the fact that it came off hiatus 2 days ago
O
yeah...not after water 7/ennies lobby
it became mediocre at best
>godzilla will light the torch with his breath
calling it
>Rock Lee
Why?
He did fuck all apart from the Chunin arc.
If this was updated to have villains, instead of heroes, which villain would be represented for each anime?
>frieza
>sasuke
>hima
and I don't know the rest of these d-tier anime
It's owned by America now, bich
you really had to make the same mistake the japs did, huh?
I SWEAR IF MIKU DOESN'T SING IN AN OPENING FOR THE OLYMPICS I'M KILLING MYSELF
WCI arc is the best it's been since Impel Down.
Stream it
>not Guy
>large % of country is hispanic/latino
>not including speedy gonzales
HELL I'LL MAKE MY SUICIDE AN OLYMPIC EVENT
>Hisoka
>Blackbeard Teech
>Char Aznable
>none of them are asians
lmao
It's too rushed these days. Too much shit happens on every page and nothing has room to breathe. It's still a good story, but it's told in a shit way nowadays. Reading OP just isn't that fun anymore. It's like reading a synopsis of a good manga instead of the actual good manga

Whatever it is your opinion about One Piece and Luffy, it really is a no-brainer choice.
He's just that popular
>at least use only the vintage
Instead of using the most popular and recognizable? I don't follow that logic.
Also, One Piece will be 20 this year.
I never watched Bleach, but that shit was stupid popular for awhile. Why is he not here?
Who do you want to see most at the Jap Olympics.
Pic Related is THE original Giant Robot, he's gotta be there.
It's a bit silly that those character has literally no connection with the olympics. Surely there are some popular character who are good at running, jumping etc.
so I'm currently 102 episodes into one piece, in the Alabasta Saga right now
is it worth watching this show anymore? The characters are nice and likable but so far the fights have been pretty lacking and its definitely slow paced Does the pace pick up at all soon?
Obviously it stopped being popular
I bet Pikachu and Godzilla will appear at opening ceremony
No, WCI arc has been incredible, the setting is great the pacing is good, the build up to the fighting is tense as fuck, and there's actual friction between the crew members now.
It has everything that made the Water 7/Alabasta arcs such a blast.
Gundam statue has to be there.
The sporting events.
Just read it dumbass
>actual friction between the crew members now
Are you kidding me? We had exactly the same I'M QUITTING!!! shit from Robin and Usop already. Are you impressed that the same story is recycled for the 3rd time?
and sailor moon and astro boy still are?
Pace is slow but yes. Watch Anim until Archipelago and then read manga.
Naruto is good at running though, just look at his Sonic run
Goku can jump so high he just flew
Atom probably can lift like 100 ton weight or something
But I genuinely don't know about Shinchan. Maybe because he can swim upside-down with his ass above water surface
the seducing woods part was pretty bad though.
