(A/N: Minor reference to Ryo vs the Xenoverse, would take place post-series.)
Mirai is on the phone talking with someone and was a bit relaxed.
"Kira, baby. Just be careful with this one, don't get too cocky facing off with that version of Chronoa. She'll….hello….aw crap." Mirai said as the line went dead.
He put down his scouter to face his audience. However, he had to check his lady. So, he set up a recording on the main screen before leaving the room as the footage rolled.
Yes, it's another commentary from Mirai! This one was one I made previously, but re-edited and fixed up. And this is directly inspired by Itj056 as it's an issue I left he missed. This is an issue I had frequently brought up in RWBY, but let's be honest, a few other series are guilty of this. Let's take Nora for example. She's inhumanely strong, but shows no hint of muscle on her body. No, I don't except all the characters to be ripped. Ruby being lithe makes sense as she's younger and her fighting style focuses on speed. Weiss fits the ballerina mold with her style, plus I don't know if she did go to a prep school or not. However, characters like Blake, Yang, Nora, and especially Pyrrha should have evident muscle tone giving their combat style and histories. And before you say, the animators probably could not design muscle for them?
They give Jaune and Ren muscular builds from the start 'till now. If anything, Jaune shouldn't have been so jacked from the start all considering his backstory of having no real training. For Nora, I can take the excuse of being malnourished in her childhood, but Pyrrha was raised to be a gladiator! She should be a towering amazon like Wonder Woman's later 2008 design in the comics who has defined abs. Fan artists get the point of this? Ugh…and before you say they can't develop different body types. I present Little Miss Malachite, a heavy set woman. And funny story, initially she was going to be rather thin. I rest my case.
I asked another oracle who I won't name because he wants to keep himself anyomous about it and he said and I quote:
"I could excuse it early on because of limited animation abilities and techniques. But considering that they're willing to give Jaune muscles, or even Ren. I'd say that it's because the animators or directors or some of the other higher-ups are just afraid of women with muscles."
Before I close this out, the next snippet will mark 50 and I have something special in mind for you all! What is it? You'll find out soon enough!
The footage fizzled out to show an empty room with a picture on the wall saying, "Coming Soon".
(A/N: I have a plan in mind, but I want to ask you to vote on my poll for the ships you to see sail. I also have a question concerning Remnant's Four Shadows also paths for Team YUKI. Romantically, I don't have any plans for Lapis (who's borderline asexual and wouldn't be seeking), Kelly (who's still getting over her issues), and Ivory (I'm debating what I should do with her, I'll be open to suggestions on who she hits on). Yuki, on the other hand, I see two options. Either, he gets one girl, or I got the JPDE route (polyarmory) going for two or three. That will be up to you to decide, so vote. (Oh, and another thing, I'll be discounting votes for Cinder, Salem, and Ilia. Those "pairs" are more suit for the short snippets.))
