Important Questions Answered 8 Answered by Yoh Asakura, Ren Tao, Horokeu Usui, Lyserg Diethyl, Hao Asakura, and Chocolove McDonnell!
Author question! Is there anything off the record (the manga/anime) that you feel like you'd like to take back, should you the chance?
Yoh: Oh. Man. So many things. That time I accidentally pulled the headphones off the rack while I was listening to music, and walked home with it.
Ren: Couldn't you tell that the music was gone already?
Yoh: Obviously not. And I still have them. And to this day I've been too scared to set foot in that certain store again. And that one time I ate that WHOLE bag of oranges at Heiyu! And I'm still not caught yet.
Lyserg: You're a thief, Yoh. You're a common criminal.
Yoh: Don't arrest me.
Ren: I regret nothing. I don't do anything I'd end up regretting.
Horo: How about pulling a Miley Cyrus and posting those pictures? no offense
Ren: Shut up! I told you to never bring that up!
Horo: I regret not checking how high that one slope was before I rolled down the entire thing. And didn't get too hurt.
Hao: Wow! I have a list but I don't regret them at all!
Chocolove: I regret that I'm not funny enough.
Ren: Enough? You're not funny!
Lyserg: I regret not killing Hao that first time. But then again, I was six. Then again, Hao was six. You sick minded prick! Killing someone at SIX?
Hao: Like I said, I don't regret it at all! (dodges random pen thrown in his direction)
This fiction is so funny! Anyway, here's some random questions.
To Horokeu: Do you have a girlfriend, like you always wanted?
Horo: (smiles) If it were up to me…
Lyserg: Nope, he hasn't got the balls to say anything to her yet.
Horo: (smiles) If it were up to me…
To Hao: Like carrots and cucumber? (so random man..)
Hao: Carrots? Um…not the actual vegetable. But carrot cake is okay. The actual vegetable is so hard and long…(chuckles)
Horo: EEEWWW HAO!
Hao: And cucumbers are the same. But I don't like those. They're so…watery. Ew. Watery.
To Lyserg: Do you think you can beat up Ren? – random reader
Lyserg: I don't know. Why would I want to?
Ren: He can't.
Lyserg: Aw, that hurts. So much. (smiles and does a total Ultimo(1) and socks him in the jaw)
Ren: How can you hit so hard?!
Lyserg: You forget I was trained by the X-Laws.
Dear Ren, How have you been doing since that earthquake in china? Was your family hurt?
Ren: Psh. My family was no where near the quake. We live a province away and only felt faint tremors. However, we send condolences for those hurt, killed, or had a family member or friend or relative who was an unfortunate casualty.
Dear Ren, Funga Fu Fu means orange yum yum. Now you know. Have fun!
Ren: Thank you for telling the obvious.
Dear Yoh, Why do you like oranges so much? I understand swans, but ORANGES! Not to say
it isn't funny to watch Ren go crazy when you say "Funga Fu Fu".
Yoh: Eh? What about swans? Oranges are high in citrus. They help against bad things. Besides, they're tasty. Or maybe I'm just an orange kind of person. Ren's more of a dragonfruit kind of person.
Ren: Damn straight.
Dear Hao, So, if Anna dumped Yoh for you, how would your response be? Remember, Anna is your mother!!
Hao: Aw, Mankinfan, you cut off so much of this comment…and it was all about me too. (tear)
Lyserg: (rolls eyes) Dear lord…
Hao: Anyway…hmm…yes, Anna is my mother, but she's really a reincarnation of my mother. So it wouldn't be that awkward. But yes, I guess it would be a bit odd to be making out with someone who knows you like a mother. But who cares? Better than getting nothing, right?
Dear Hana, Technically, you don't exist, Takei created you out of pure boredom. Sorry.
Anyho, my ques. is: Was your hair brown when you were born? When is your B-day, so i won't celebrate it? Ha-ha kidding
Yoh: Seeing as Hana isn't physically here, he really can't take offense. But I can, seeing I'm his FATHER! HOW DARE YOU DISS MY SON!
Lyserg: Hana's a blonde, I believe. Or a mix between Anna's blonde and Yoh's brown. As for his birthday, it's not exactly clear…I think it's said somewhere, I don't know off the top of my head. And he wasn't pure boredom. It gave Shaman King to have a potential ending because he was trying to collect the Five Warriors.
Horo: Yoh, calm down!
Dear All, Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who has the best hairdo of them all?
Ren: Hair fetishes AGAIN?
Hao: ME ME ME ME ME ME ME!
Yoh: Um, we're getting the sign to ignore this question because the author's a bit tired of answering more 'best hair' questions. (reads prompt) Because…she really doesn't give either which way.
Dear Yoh, So, how do you expect to revive matamune? Are you gonna wait for a random cat
to die, then put mat's soul into it? OR will you just go to Hell, bring him back, and be on your merry way?
Yoh: Seeing as Matamune didn't need a physical body, once I get enough furyoku, I'm just bringing him back as a spirit. Thank you for caring.
Dear Yoh, (kisses, smooches, and glompifies you) Did you ever have long hair? I mean, like did you have it long as a kid, some mean kids cut it off, and you've kept it short ever since? OR Am I just slightly crazy and you've had it short all your life?
Yoh: I believe it's always been short. So no one would mistaken me for Hao. Besides, I don't like to be bothered with long hair. So even if no one else cut it off, I would.
Dear Yoh, Have you eva been deppresed in your life? Say yes Can you explain your response to xhainekox about the dating Tamao? Can you make more than three Shikigami now? – DayDreamin'LifeAway + a friend
Yoh: Depressed…hmm…yes, I have, but I can get over it quickly. And do you really think I'd go out with Tamao? I mean, hello! Anna! (shudders) Let's just never go there again, okay? (looks around nervously)
Horo: Relax, Anna's no where near. Just answer the question.
Yoh: (lowers voice) Anna's got eyes and ears everywhere, so I think you've got your answer. You don't want me to be skewered, do you? And yes, I think I can make a lot more Shikigami now. I mean, just check out the furyoku I got now!
To Yoh - do you ever get nightmares after reading MA type fics w/ you and
your possible pairings and also being tormented by Anna at the same time?
Yoh: No, not really. It comes with the job. You get used to it.
To Lyserg - umm...Your hair color reminds me of brocolli. (no offense)
Lyserg: Brocolli's an acquired taste.
To Ren - Umm... Are you gonna be going to Beijing to watch the olympics & does it ever bother you that from being a cute bishie you turned to an old man w/ a mustache?
Ren: Granted, the author hasn't been fortunate to find a pic of me like that so I'll just say that we grow up. Age gets to us. And it's never pretty. And yes, I'll be watching the Olympics, so when you watch it there or on TV, watch out for the tonguri. And I'll be rooting for China, of course.
To Horo - Don't you ever feel that eyes are always on you... I mean you also
have rabid fangirls and all...
Horo: (bursts out in maniacal laughter)
Lyserg: Thank you for setting off his huge ego.
To Choco - The shortcut ver. of your reminds me of a monkey-like monster in
RO. (sorry I'm a game addict. XD!)
Choco: YOU ! RACIST! RACIST! RACIST!
Hao: Oh shut up, you baby. You're just not fabulous like the rest of us.
Choco: Don't tell me to shut up…
Hao: (slaps) The phantom left comes in the family.
Choco: (makes incomprehensible sounds) Lyserg…don't you think it's unfair?
Lyserg: (shrugs) Yes, but I can't argue with Hao's logic.
Choco: ET TU, LYSERG?
To Hao - I thought you wouldn't be that perverted and oh yeah is it possible
you were flinging/being courted w/ a goddess in your first life? (info she's
hott but hates humans due to their short-mindedness and cooks well.) - Atsumi Yuki
Hao: (smiles) That's very possible. But then again, there are no such things as goddesses if there are no gods. Am I right? No offense to believers, but personally I'm an atheist. And I'm not perverted. I respect the sanctity of sex, that's all.
Question one: Horohoro, what's the most that you've eaten in one meal? And have you ever been thrown out of an all-you-can-eat buffet?
Horo: I lost count that one time my grandparents had an anniversary meal. But I know it was the most because my stomach became all flabby like a pregnant woman's stomach for a few days afterwards. And although contrary to popular belief that men have bottomless stomachs, I have to admit mine does and that no buffet has found me too much for them…yet.
Ren: Besides they're not complaining as we rack up a huge bill. Did you know that they have fine print to all-you-can-eat? Past a certain amount and you pay extra. We told you, but did you listen? No…
Question two: Ren, how does your hair get all pointy and really stiff and bigger when you're mad? I want hair like that :)
Ren: Somehow my hair's responsive to my nerves. NO DUH, IT'S A MANGA AND IN THE HAPPY FLUFFY MANGA WORLD, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
Question three: Who do you guys think has the least fans? Not just out of you, of course, it can be other characters--any character that has appeared more than once, because nobody really pays attention to them. anime.tempest
Yoh: Oh yes, the author has a ready answer and I agree. The guy whom Boris killed over at the entrance of the Patch Tribe. He was only in eleven panels. Count. It's true.
Choco: Sad, really, but I don't feel that bad. I mean, I'm kind of close last.
Lyserg: I'm sure you're not. You're forgetting people who fans hate. Just because they show up often doesn't mean they have a lot of fans. I get some decent amount of screen time but there are still haters.
Five? Really? OO Wow...Ren, you're... YOU'RE AMAZING, REN! I LIKE WHITE RABBIT TOO!! WE HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON! (besides the fact that we're both Chinese...)
Ren: Thank you but you're nothing like me. I'm just too awesome.
Horo: Egotistical maniac.
Hao: YOU ARE TOO AN OLD GEEZER!! JUST BECAUSE YOUR BODY'S YOUNG DOESN'T MEAN
YOU ARE! AND REN IS NOT A WHINY LITTLE HOMICIDAL BRAT! TAKE THAT BACK YOU
DISGUSTING PEDOPHILE! And, come to think of it, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S
HOMICIDAL! REN DID KILL PEOPLE BUT NOW THAT HE'S MET YOH HE'S CHANGED! YOU, on
the other hand...
Hao: Feed my fire, flamers!!
Lyzerg: My dad brought back Belgium chocolate from a business trip once. It was too bitter for me. I didn't like it.
Lyserg: I'm sorry to hear that. I guess I'm used to bitter things by now.
Choco: ...ditto? I could say something really mean in response to that, but I won't because you rock. Just not as much as Ren.
Choco: OH YEAH I ROCK!
Ren: Not as much as me.
Choco: BEGGERS CAN'T BE CHOOSERS!
Everyone: What was the weirdest dream you ever had? WEIRDEST. And Hao,
NOTHING PERVERTED. Then again, probably most of your dreams are perverted,
from the way you act...screw that. Go ahead with whatever.
Yoh: Oh…hmm…weirdest…no doubt being churned into butter in a vat of beer. So weird. And then oranges were raining from the sky but I was too drunk to catch them.
Lyserg: What do you dream? I'm concerned about you sometimes…
Horo: I dreamt I was a surfer and had a beastly tan. And I said Aloha every five minutes. And I wore sunglasses. And hibiscus swim trunks.
Ren: I was a giant panda and I ate humans. Then we weren't endangered anymore.
Choco: My 'fro was a hive and I had bees in my hair! Then we sang a happy little song! And then this stuffed bear in a red shirt came and beat me up! And as I lay there bleeding, he climbed into my hair! And then suddenly I was okay again and me and the bees and the bear danced happily into the sunset!
Hao: I dreamt that I shaved my head and became a monk. As in an honest to goodness monk. Chaste and holy and stuff like that. See? I can dream non-perverted dreams! Don't judge me!
Lyserg: I dreamt Hao was my mother. And then he made me pancakes. Or she. Technically he was a she. It was confusing.
Yoh: While we're on the topic of dreams, have you ever had a dream where you felt like you were being beat up by Hao and then woke up to being beat up by Anna?
Yoh: Anna's not that mean. She wouldn't wake me up by beating me. The second I'm actually up, though…
3) Hao: I just thought of something! I asked you what kind of qualities you like in a girl...so what kind of things do you look for in a guy?? The same ones?? anime.storm
Hao: I guess…I mean, if you find someone who has the qualities you like, you'd like them regardless of gender, right? Though some tend to stick with the opposite gender. I really don't care which way. Though some homophobes might…but I doubt any of the usual readers are complaining anyway.
ONE.(this question is for all the guys) If you got to pick a English name, what would you pick(oh, and a last name to go with it too)? The last name has to be English too. Lyserg, you have to pick too, because your name doesn't count. laughs
Yoh: I've always been a bit partial to Coca Cola…
Horo: That's a soda, Yoh. Not a name.
Yoh: Oh. Oh. Well, it was in the American commercials so I thought…never mind. Oh yes, I would like to be called Matrix.
Lyserg: Why?
Yoh: Well…in Japan, we call our cars by actual names, example Honda and Subaru. So…I heard that Matrix is a car so maybe it's a name?
Ren: It's a movie, dumbass.
Yoh: Oh. But I like it. (frowns) I wanna be called Matrix Eclipse.
Horo: Beyond hope…for me, definitely not Trey. Ew. Um…let's see…I like Jake. Jake would be a nice name. And a last name? Hmm…Cruise. Jake Cruise. Yeah. Or no, maybe Tom…
Ren: Copycat. (thinks) Henry. Because there were a lot of kings named Henry. And English last names are lame. I'd keep my own.
Hao: Tracy.
Lyserg: That's a girl's name.
Hao: Generically it can be used for both genders. Tracy. Blaze. Ehehehe…
Lyserg: Ehm…I've always liked the name Simon. It's simple and short.
Choco: Simple Simon met a pie man going to the fair…said Simple Simon to the pie man 'Can I taste your ware?'
Choco flies across the room as Lyserg hits him with the force of a small hurricane.
Choco: (spits out blood) Bleh…I'm a Chris. And my last name's English so it's okay.
TWO. (to choco) Your soo Awsome!! I actually laugh at your jokes...AND SHUT
UP REN!!
Choco: Well…(makes fast recovery) What can I say? I'm just talented like that.
Ren: Oh shut up.
What would you do if life gave you lemons? AND NO!! YOU CAN'T SAY "Throw them
back and demand oranges" THAT'S THE STUPIDEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD!!
Yoh: If life could give me lemons then that would mean the end of the world. Cause life's not a person, duh.
Ren: Wow, that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Horo: (makes face) I don't like lemons.
Choco: Lemon meringue pie…(holds out pie, which is splatted into his face by Ren)
Lyserg: I don't like this saying anyway.
Hao: If life gave me lemons, I'd thank the spirits and control my hormones. (grins) If you know what I mean. (wink wink)
TWO.(to all guys...again) Wat would you do if your fans switched around? For example, Choco got the most fans, and Hao got zero?(I'm not saying Choco has zero fans, DON'T WORRY CHOCO!! hugs)
Choco: Dude, I'd be in a lot more fanfics and fan art, that's fo' sho!
Ren: You're so not gangster.
Hao: Me, have no fans? Please. There are so many antiheros out there. People like Darth Vader for crying out loud. Come on.
Darth Vader sneezes.
Yoh: It would disrupt the world as we know it! Oh no!
Choco: YOH!
Yoh: Ah, gomei, Choco, but that's why we need you.
Choco: THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT BETTER!
THREE.(to all guys...again, and wtf) Who do you think is the ugliest?? Hao, Yoh, Ren, Choco, Lyserg, or Horohoro? And who do you think is the ugliest out of the WHOLE entire anime?(as in EVERYONE you see in the anime)
Yoh: Oh we can't do that. That's mean. Besides, if we name any names between the six of us, some fan's gonna get pissed and our heads would roll. And I think we should set aside how we look because it doesn't matter, it's how we are inside…
Ren: Cut out the cheesy inspirational monologue, Yoh.
Hao: Yeah, I mean, it's completely obvious that I'm the best looking out of all of us.
Horo: Ugliest? Out of the whole series? Obviously Kalim. I mean, he's a nice guy, but he's…whew!
Hao: I disagree. I think that Marco dude's totally wasted in the looks department.
Lyserg: Hao! You can't say that about other people! After all, have you taken a look at the people you associate with?
Hao: I don't choose them based on their looks! (to himself)…alone.
Choco: I'm so pretty…oh so pretty…
FOUR.(to Hao) Do you like Opacho?? as a friend? BECAUSE OPACHO IS SO ANNOYING!!
Hao: How do you find her annoying? She's so fascinating.
Lyserg: Only because she worships you.
Hao: And who wouldn't?
FIVE. (to Horohoro) YAY! Your my favorite character!! And...uh...er, What was my question again?? eto... -hyperellie
Horo: Obviously my brilliance caused her to loose her thoughts. (turns on the sparkles)
Ren: (retches)
--
Note 1: Please, readers, no more 'who has the best hair' questions. I understand things about specific hairdos and such, but I really don't want to answer any more 'best' questions. Okay? It gets boring.
Note 2: (1) Ultimo! What is that, you ask? Oh, how uneducated you are! Ultimo is the new joint production by our very own Hiroyuki Takei-sama! With whom, you ask? Oh, Takei-sama is only doing the art but the story is coming from comic legend Stan Lee! Stan Lee, you say, from Spiderman and X Men? The very same! I suggest you, my good readers, to google up some Ultimo scanlations and read the first chapter! The art is extremely good and very cute. Takei-sama should just stick with bishie boys, in my opinion. Anyway, I'm vouching for an Ultimo category in manga/anime, and should that appear, I will have posted something there, so check it out! On that note…how does one get about setting up a new category? I emailed fanfiction but I'm not sure if I did it right…
More quick info: the first Ultimo chap is only a prologue and the rest will be sterilized in SQII. I believe in August. I could be wrong. I'm just dying because I'm already hooked.
Again, as always, thank you for reading, and review! I need questions!
