Oh, by the way, no amount of threats of editing or photo-shopping will ever change the truth........Han shot first!
Re: [1551] A little rough
Heh, usually I am on the receiving end of mockery for applying that...
But ok, what makes "nine" the simplest integer here? (I certainly haven't observed nine, er, "scribbles behind her" in any frame.)
Well, ok, so (if I recall correctly (paging maldrul )) a ktisune needs three tails before gaining the ability to hide any of them. So rephrasing, what makes "nine" the simplest possibility out of N - {0, 1, 2}?
I guess one reason Occam's Razor generates mockery (despite its obvious usefulness) is that the definition of "simplicity" can get subjective pretty quickly (except in "simple" cases ha ha). Here for example, in my opinion a kitsune tail model that, by symmetry, allows for both false positives as well as the (already canon) false negatives is "simpler" than one that forbids either.
Re: [1551] A little rough
It's not the number of tails which is the issue here. It's that there ARE tails. As for the number, Invisigoth had counted 9 tails in the first rendition of a tailed Megumi. For this current picture, sans word bubbles, there are about 5 tails shown: 4 to the right of her and one facing roughly upwards if I recall correctly. Since symmetry is the usual way to go for biological organisms (remember, biologist here), you add 4 more to the left of her and you get NINE.darrin wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2019 4:29 pmHeh, usually I am on the receiving end of mockery for applying that...

Remember though, the real issue here is that are tails. Number of tails can always be debated (we really need to see ALL of them again to be sure how many there are).

Ashe can play rough with me any time! ;>
Re: [1551] A little rough
I have headcannon that she managed to piss off a *really* powerful kitsune that cursed her to never find love.
Re: [1551] A little rough
Ah, the usual Fred Troll makes another appearance.
With that out of the way....
Junko appears to have learned common "survive-the-rapist" defensive martial artist skills every female (and male) should learn (I've seen the class). Ashe, however, is definitely familiar with pro wrestling.

Re: [1551] A little rough
I'll take you up on that offer. My copies of Chibi Vampie finally arrived from Amazon and I was feeling frisky, noticed how close you were to 2k a month on Patreon, and the rewards were worth every penny.
I've only been attending the streams for a while now (when I can) but I've followed the comic since about 2006 and I love what you do Fred, keep it up.
Re: [1551] A little rough
Yeah, that could be a hoot. I hope that's what he ends up doing.
Welcome aboard, and thanks for supporting Fred.LogicalLube wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2019 12:55 amI'll take you up on that offer. My copies of Chibi Vampie finally arrived from Amazon and I was feeling frisky, noticed how close you were to 2k a month on Patreon, and the rewards were worth every penny.

Re: [1551] A little rough
This storyline is absolutely awful and I'm going to be glad when it's over.
Re: [1551] A little rough
It's taken a bit of a sidetrack, but hopefully the boys can get back to E3 pretty soon so the actual plot can continue.

Especially when it turns out that his "acquisition" was actually crushed pocky. (Cue the "dime bag of oregano" scene from the beginning of A Few Good Men.)
Re: [1551] A little rough
Aha. I didn't catch that one in the previous comic with Mugi.
I came in just to comment on how much I loved the "bitch/vixen" joke in this one with Yakugashi
Re: [1551] A little rough
uh..... Yakugashi isn't here... shes on a train with Miho, this is Ashe, Junko, Megumi and grandma

Oh shit. I thought she was Yakugashi. I don't know why I missed that given that Yakugashi has talked with people and not deaf. lol.

Re: [1551] A little rough
Aww. Contradicting myself entirely, I wanted Megumi to be a kitsune. First she’s stuck being unloved, then she’s deprived of tails and magic...boo.
That said, please let this scene end already...
Sorry, that all sounded really entitled. I’m just whining, please don’t take it seriously.

Ashe has black fur?! I did not know. 0_0
I guess I was assuming that all of the kitsune were about the same gingerish color.

Re: [1551] A little rough
Honestly, if Megumi is an unexpressed nine tailed fox which is entirely plausible within Fred's kitsune mythos then there'd be a huge impact on story direction.NinjaDefenestrator wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2019 7:56 amAww.

Perhaps this is what is happening or maybe Fred just likes yanking the readers tails
Re: [1551] A little rough
Invisigoth, I've been thinking about this situation and as much as I would like for Megumi to be a latent nine-tail, there might be an alternative explanation to this situation that might not require her to be an actual tailed kitsune. You appear to know more about the kitsune mythos in this comic than some of us so perhaps you could confirm if this is a possibility. Could she possibly be POSSESSED by a nine-tail? The tails and ears are quite real. The have appeared several times now. The only other explanation I can come up with if she is not a kitsune is that those tails and ears are momentary manifestations of her possession. Perhaps, being related to the full blooded kitsune makes her rather more susceptable to being possessed by one. Damn, I hate giving the writer an out for this. I really would like to see Megumi as a full kitsune (would make for some hilarious hijinks). However, I can't discount this other possibility as a possible reason for the manifestations.Invisigoth wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2019 9:28 amHonestly, if Megumi is an unexpressed nine tailed fox which is entirely plausible within Fred's kitsune mythos then there'd be a huge impact on story direction.NinjaDefenestrator wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2019 7:56 amAww.

Re: [1551] A little rough
Maybe she had the nine-tail sealed in her abdomen by ninja as part of a desperate attempt to save their village.
