Geometric Shapes

Pluck: Hey, are you ok?
Chorus: No, Pluck!
Pluck: Oh... *sad face*

    So, for my first super duper post, I will talk about the weird world of geometric shapes and show you a sort of time line about it, made by me.

UZUMAKI

    Well, probably the first appearance of an anime or manga focusing on this kind of thing was the manga Uzumaki: Spiral Into Horror.
    Yes, it is that bizarre manga that reveals how the real life is affected by spirals. Like when you walk too slowly, the spiral can transform you into a giant slug. Or, perhaps, into this:


    I love reading it, mainly by night. This is certainly a weird manga that scares the hell out of me!


RAGNAROK: RENEWAL
    One of my favorite games of all times! I really love it (surely even more with the 10000000000 cash I've paid on it).
    This game hasn't got any outstanding situations with geometric forms, though there is something about it... When the Renewal was released, new classes appeared. And one of these, the Warlock class, has a skill that involves Geometry!
    The name of that ability is called White Imprison and it is very pretty and cute, because it is an hexagon! A very little hexagon that kills anyone.

Hexagon... weird, huh? 


NARUTO SHIPPUUDEN




  This right here is a well known anime and manga. It's also got some interesting contributions regarding geometric shapes.

    Old Tsuchikage is a man who's got a Kekkei Totta, which means he can unite three different elements -- Katon, Fuuton and Doton -- to create a new one, which is called Dust Release, or simply Particle Style.
    Different jutsus using this kind of power result on using different geometric shapes, and the cool thing about such ability is that, at the end, everything is reduced into an atom.
    Up until now, only two geometric forms have been shown; a square and a cone. Nonetheless, from these two, just the first one had its power fully revealed. 

Old Tsuchikage hasn't yet annihilated the newest villain from this anime, Uchiha Sasuke, with his odd square simply because another villain, Uchiha Madara, saved him.






PhotobucketThe elderly man, trying to kill deidera, had begun to create the cone, but he was stopped by one of his guards, Akatsuchi.
According with all the descriptions about this technique, the cone has the power to destroy even the turtle island, that is big enough to be mistaken by islands and continents. And from this information that his guard, Akatsuchi, has stopped him.
                                       

First a hexagon... and now a cone? Why mom..?Why...?


FAIRY TAIL

    Yeah! Fairy Tail! This anime, that is influencing crowds of people because of the spells and, mainly, their tatoo, was dominated by the world of our weird geometric shapes. And from all animes that i've ever seen, this is the first one that has shown human characters fully made by the formulas of geometry.

    Oh! That one scares me.
    Member of a dark guild, Hoteye -- or Richard --, a S-rank magician, is a giant merger of many geometric forms. And the most important is that he left the Dark Side of the Force when he was caught by Nirvana, a powerful magic that can change the evil side onto the good side, and vice versa, on people that is confused about their real one. In other words, he is cool.
 I don't know and even Hiro Mashima, the author of Fairy tail, probably knows the reason that Hoteye has this body, but this was very authentic. because everybody loves geometric shapes.




Another one? Weird...but it is more weird to know that Wally, the man on the left, is Hoteye's brother! LOLOLOL And he has the same theme of  body: geometric shapes.
Wally is the block's dude that can use his form to create many and many square weapons and traps, or even a sort of lego's teleportation.
He is very cool too, like any block on the planet Earth. Blocks are cool, everybody like them.










PhotobucketTeleportation's magic using blocks, my consumer dream! Really cool.






PhotobucketThis one is the Wally's rifle, a powerful gun that shoots many and many blocks with a high speed.




                                                                                                                   
PhotobucketAnd the last and most powerful Wally's magic is the Polygon Attack. Basically, he separates his body into several blocks and then...he begins to crush the enemy.
I really don't know where are the organs of this person or even if this skill hurts when used, but i know that geometric shapes can kill people.


And...the last weird character that has something related to the shapes is Gildarts!


Well... let's begin with some informations.
Gildarts, a man who is 45 years old, is the most famous magician of Fairy tail and the second most powerful person of that guild, only losing to the master, Makarov, who is one of the Ten Wizard Saints.





        Guild Masters: 1st Mavis Vermillion, 2nd Purehito, 3rd Makarov Dreyar, 4th Macao Combalt, 5th Gildarts Clive, 6th Makarov Dreyar.

    Furthermore, he was the fifth Guild Master of Fairy tail, but, unfortunatelly, he withdrew, because he said that he wasn't yet ready for such prowess. Consequently, Makarov needed to go back to his old position, assuming as the sixth master of the guild.
    Gildarts is a warm-hearted, quite a womanizer and absent-minded person.He also has a tendency to break through walls with his Crash Magic in order to pass, rather than simply using the door.
    FINALLYFINALLY He won the title of second strongest mage in the most powerful guild of all with his Crash Magic, that uses geometry to destroy the opponents.


PhotobucketYeah! Blocks! The minecraft's man can transform everything into blocks, even the fire and the water. And, if he wants, after using this ability to literally crash something, he can fix everything that was destroyed.





PhotobucketOhn, it's so simple to transform fire into blocks, isn't it?







Photobucket If you want to become a giant and not tall army, you will need just to stay in front of Gildarts with TPM. Yeah, crash magic used on humans can turn them into milions of tiny thumbnails.



Just summarizing, Fairy tail is a weird anime.


  MINECRAFT


 You! Hey, hey you! Have you already dreamed with a survival world, like our loved Earth? Because Markus Persson, the swedish men more known as Notch, yes.





    Random: But Pluck, what is Minecraft?
    Pluck: Easy! Minecraft is a game that has single and multiplayer mode. And, basically, it is a world that every grass or cow are composed of blocks. Even the sun, the moon, stars, animals and your own character are blocks!
    Random: But what's the fun of this game and what i need to do in it?
    Pluck: Well, minecraft is like a The Sims, in other others, you can create many and many kinds of houses or everything you imagine. And the keyword of what you need to do in this game is to survive.


    Surviving in this world is very cool, because you will need to use the resources of nature to create the little things of our everyday. Like, if you want to eat bread, you will need to plant wheat and, to do this, you will, consequently, need to find it seeds. Other good exemple is that if you need to put some windows in your house, you will need to look for sand to, after that, it be melted by a furnace that you will need also to create.
    Random: But Pluck! How i create these things?
    Pluck: Crafting table is the object that allows you to have this power. You will need, just, to look for the materials of what you want to create.
     On that image, the giant box with many things is your bag, the 3x3x3 is where you will put the materials in a single sequence to create that single object. Nachos!

    And to finish that post, the last and most important thing ever!!!

    Imagine that you are getting some wood blocks to create a random house on a random montain and you're singing ~lalalalalalalalalalala~ AND then a green monster appears behind you and starts with a noise like ~siiiiiiiiiiiiiiii BOOM~. Yes, you die.
    Creeper, i hate you.
    I almost forgot, during the night, zombies will try to take your brain, spiders will climb your walls to attack you, skeletons will hurt you with arrows, endermans will steal blocks of your house, and creepers will do the BOOM to destroy everything you have spent 5 hours to build.
    I hate you creeper.    
    I love you geometric shapes.
