Kamen Rider Fourze and Yu Yu Hakusho: A reference to Chinese Mythology and Astrology

Hello guys. I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to discuss something what I've noticed in the recent episode of Kamen Rider Fourze. In a scene of the episode, where Kengo meets his father's partner/friend, Mr. Emoto, the both of them talks about the comic energy in the universe and on earth (I know I maybe wrong on one part).

In this image, I've noticed that Mr. Emoto briefly discussed the four mythical gods of the chinese astrology, Genbu(Top), Byakko(Left), Seiryu(Right), and Suzaku(Bottom). The name also represent the directions and the seasons of the year:  

• (Seiryu) Azure Dragon of the East: Spring
• (Suzaku) Vermilion Bird of the South: Summer
• (Byakko) White Tiger of the West: Autumn
• (Genbu) Black Tortoise of the North: Winter

Now these name sounded very familiar when I first heard them and noticed that these names and images reminded me of The Four Saint Beast from the anime, Yu Yu Hakusho. In the anime the four heroes have to fight off the four beast to save Earth.

The first beast they fought was Genbu: The Stone Beast,who had the body of a tortise,

 the second was Byakko: The White Tiger,

the third was Seiryu: The Blue Dragon,

 and the last was the leader which was Suzaku (which represented the Phoenix as you can see here).

This is very interesting to know that their opponents has some similarities to themselves. According to the source: "Kurama being wise and intelligent like the turtle, Kuwabara being Brave and determined like the tiger, Hiei Calm but deadly like the Dragon and Yusuke being passionate and having a habit of coming back stronger every time he dies like the Phoenix. Even more interesting is that Yusukes energy took the form of a Phoenix and Hiei's best attack being in the shape of a dragon." That is really interesting. Now the question is, will we see some of these elements form in Kamen Rider Fourze? I would love to see something like this to happen in the series.

Ichigo's Forms

 

Hello guys! I've reading more of the Bleach mangas. There are some really cool characters, powers and forms happening the mangas. In later issues of the Bleach manga, Ichigo has three more forms: Tesuga Gentsu( I know it's spelled incorrectly), Fullbringing form, and the new Soul Reaper form. I only have two of the three images of the forms:

The picture on the left is the Ichigo's Fullbringer form and the on the right is his new Soul Reaper form. Which picture is the best one?

More art, Animes, Mangas

Hello guys! I have a new picture I just finished. I'm sorry about the picture. I took it with a not so good camera. This picture is not the finished result. I will be putting shadowing in the picture to make it more smooth. This is another drawing of Ichigo. This form he is using is called the Fullbringer form. I saw this while reading a recent issuse of the Bleach manga. I really am now into the mangas. I have to try to read more when I can. I barely read mangas, but when I do, I'll get interested (lack of a better word). I will have more art soon and other topics. Now to rest and watch TV!

Art, Skype, Facebook Changes Sucks

Hello guys! Here's the finshed result of the Art Of Hiei. This picture really was an easy work to draw. I haven't have this much fun in drawing somthing like this in a while. My next art will be another Icihgo picture I saw in a manga and it's really awesome!  I've been on Skype all day today with my really good and close friend. The only subject we talk about are mainly animes. Thanks to her, I watched the newer episodes of Bleach. They were really awesome! I wanted to wait to watch them on TV, but I decided to look at a few episodes. Along with that, I was watching DragonBall Z (the shows and movies). I really like talking to my friend, as she give me a great time chatting. I am really glad that I got to meet her, a person that I can really talk to about anything, but I have yet to meet her in person. It still seems that I have, in a way, through Skype. I still hope I get the chance to meet her in person to disccuss some more ideas we both have. (Upcoming live show, video parodies, etc.) I really wish I new why Facebook made the changes it did. It really wasn't too much that needed to be changed. A few additions here and there, but not a complete revamp! Sorry, but I had to disccuss this. I know alot of people, if not all of the people that uses Facebook does not like the new changes. I know it will take some time to getting use to. Check your privacy settings people! It can be a real problem. The funny thing about all of the changes of Facebook is that, dispte those changes, I will still use Facebook, for many reasons, Lol! I am working on another video and thinking of a good video montage of Japanese director Koichi Sakamoto. I really love his works in Kamen Rider Double, Fourze, Super Sentai, and other toku shows. I have some thinking to do on this. :)

More Artwork, Toku Weekend

Hello guys! I'm back with another artwork. This drawing consist of my favorite anime of all time, DragonBall Z. The four Sayians, Piccolo, and Cell here are all a part of this one epic picture. I still wish that there were another DragonBall series, because I think it would be really awesome to see another series being made. Toku weekend: Kamen Rider Fourze was awesome! I love how Gentaro was fighting that Zodiart. Those fight scene were really a "Koichi Sakamoto" way of doing awesome fight scenes. Gokaiger was also awesome. I really like the moment with Joe and Jou Oohara (Liveman Yellow). It was a deep and inspirational scene that sent a good message, "Never give up on who you're trying to save." This is definately one of my favorite episodes. I will have more post coming soon.

More Artwork and New Video

Hello guys! I'm back with another new artwork. This picture is the, Art Of Hiei. Hiei is a character from an anime called Yu Yu Hakusho, another one of my favorite animes. This picture really didn't take me long to draw. I'm not finished with this drawing. I may add color to it. That won't be a problem at all. This was one of the easiliest drawings I've done in a while. I will post the finished verison soon. My next drawing will be another anime character, but I'm not sure whom. I have more of my other art that I will post on here soon. I've posted my new video. It is another Toku Mix video.

My Art

This is another hobby of mine that I do from time to time. This is the Art Of Ichigo. The character's name is Ichigo Kurasaki from the anime, "Bleach". I love this anime and the character, which is the reason why I drew this picture. There are more pictures of him and a few more characters of Bleach that I've drawn. I will show more of them soon.
