Time Drops #93: Week of March 23, 2025

Content Calendar Announcement,
Week of March 23, 2025

a.k.a. the Ticketmaster

For the first time since probably Fall 2023, there won't be any AniMonday content this week. I intended to do a response to Geekdom101's DAIMA Season 2 Plot Pitch video, but in the moment I felt like it would have been too short-notice and not good enough because I got too excited about too many concepts that wouldn't have meshed together that well.
So instead, I'm just going to refer you to the link to Danny's video above, and bullet-point some of the ideas I had right here:
  • The main villain should have three generals (similar plot structure to DAIMA, just with villains instead of the Tamagamis), each with one of the Tertian Oculi from the bug shop.
  • Rock, Paper, Scissors should be a recurring joke/theme.
    • Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and Piccolo use it to decide who fights each Dark Namekian General, with Piccolo, then Gohan, then Vegeta getting a turn. When they defeat their respective Generals, each Tertian Oculus is summoned away by the villain (whom Goku gets to fight by default, pissing off Vegeta).
    • DAIMA missed an opportunity for Goku to knock out the Eye with his Rock, Paper, Scissors technique, so I'm going to have it happen as the finishing blow in the final battle (bringing Toriyama's work full-circle to the first special move Goku ever used), but the last hit is Rock...and a Dragon Fist!
  • But first, let's talk Fusion.
    • Everyone agrees that dropping the Join Bugs as a plot point was a trash move, so before Goku has to Rock the Dragon, the Join Bugs get used, birthing a new (Super-Saiyan 4) Fusion that I'm calling Kajiita because it's kind of similar to kabuto, a Japanese word for a beetle.
    • In a double-nod to Omega Shenron, I'm throwing in a fail-safe on Neva's death that fuses all three Tamagamis together, and having the main villain absorb all three Eyes for his final form.
  • Post-DAIMA, I think it would be cool and tie things together for fans if the final events of the Moro arc (where Uub and Buu - in his Kai form - gave their energy to Goku, and Vegeta used Forced Spirit Fission on Moro) had retroactively reintroduced their bodies to magic, giving Goku and Vegeta access to Super-Saiyan 4 again.
And that's the bulk of my thoughts on a DAIMA continuation, piggybacking off of the Geekdom101 video; not much to make a full post out of, but they're solid ideas, right?

Work hours are picking up again, so I'm going to try to have a Punk Hazard review ready for publication early next month. Again, I promise it won't be such a point of procrastination like Fishman Island was.

My Instagram journey is going well so far. It isn't my go-to for consumable content, and I'm not sure it's doing much to boost my inconsistent analytics (most days, I get between sixty and a hundred, but then I'll get hit with views by the hundreds one day and I don't entirely understand what I did or what my audience is doing to generate those numbers) because it's so tightly linked to Facebook, but I'm just letting my audience grow there naturally and gradually.

I still need to get familiar with the platform and I'll continue cross-posting to the usual places, so please remember to comment at the bottom of my Blogger posts, Become A Ticketholder because I know you haven't already, help out my ad revenue as you read, and follow me on social media at the links above and below to like what you see and to receive the latest news on my content and calendars thereof.
Here it is:
  • Wednesday (March 26) - GFT Retrospective #91: The Dream Eater Saga #11 (Inferno One-Shot)
  • Thursday (March 27) - TBT '25 (on BlueSky, Tumblr, Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn): State Of the TicketVerse Address 2012
  • Friday (March 28) - Just the Ticket #175: Martial Outlaw
  • Saturday (March 29) - Time Drops #94: Week of March 30, 2025
Though I've yet to make any progress, I'd still like to cut together an e-book of my
GFT Retrospective reviews through the Dream Eater Saga material, with Zenescope's blessing.

Ticketmaster,
Out.

Zenescope - Omnibusted #26: Grimm Fairy Tales TPB Volume 10

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Omnibuster I know that this is the third of these I've done in a row, but I have an established pattern to adhere to, so let's get Omnibusted ...again! As suggested by  Volume Nine , the Grimm Fairy Tales  issues contained in the Volume Ten Trade Paperback will continue to follow the journey of Sela and her companions through Myst. According to the  Zenescope Entertainment Wiki Chronological Reading Order , Volume Ten is also the last before Zenescope's first two big event series ( Myths & Legends  and  The Dream Eater Saga ). And Volume Ten marks the first time since  GFT #49  that an issue (or in this case, an entire Volume of issues) has gone untitled on the credits page. Speaking of The Dream Eater Saga , the zero issue of that series was featured as the short story for Volume Ten, as opposed to past Volumes having original short stories (or in one case so far, a Swimsuit Special) that added lore to the ser...

Stay Tuned #55: Goosebumps (Disney+ Season One)

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Ticketmaster I'm confused, Ticketholders. And disappointed in the lack of originality in visual media over the past few years. On top of the Fear Street trilogy and the TV series I'm reviewing today, I've also been watching the first season of Yellowjackets on Netflix because Paramount+ (like a broken floor scrubber) has a lot of buffering issues. All three are either set in or flash back to the 90s, and include a lot of the same songs and relationship dynamics (troubled same-sex couple, love triangle, toxic relationship, etc.). So the plot points and characters start to bleed together (heh; horror puns...) after awhile. But that doesn't make them bad products on their own merits. By my own actions, my merits (viewer analytics) have diminished significantly this month, so please remember to  Become A Ticketholder  if you haven't already, comment your thoughts on the Goosebumps reboot at the bottom of this post, help out my...

One Piece Multi-Piece #7: Impel Down

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. Master Of Tickets Before we set sail for this short issue of the One Piece  Multi-Piece , please chart a course by remembering to  Become A Ticketholder  if you haven't already, commenting at the bottom of this post, helping out my ad revenue as you read, and joining my Crew on  Tumblr ,  Reddit ,  Facebook , and  LinkedIn  to like what you see and receive the latest snail transmissions of news on my content. I rarely post anything on YouTube, but I'm a frequent commenter and content supporter, and I recently commented on one of Doug Walker's videos as follows: It's not just you, Doug; Buggy the Clown didn't land for me in the anime at first. But he is AMAZING in the Impel Down arc (not going to spoil it, but the basic idea is the "Lock Up" episode of BTAS in Dante’s Inferno with One Piece characters, done as a full season). And that's pretty accurate. With no crew to help him fight, find his way, feed him, or...
