why are people even fucking with gatcha games the wikipedia random article button is $0 and i just rolled a 10th century byzantine encyclopedia on my 17th try
pirates of the caribbean really introduced an eldritch octopus man who kills indiscriminately and torments the dead as their poster villain and then you watch the movies and it’s like, “oh no, actually the worst villain in this series is a small white british man who functions as the herald of capitalism” and that was very very brave of them
[Charles Soule’s The Rise of Kylo Ren] has also confirmed what many Star Wars fans had suspected all along; Ben Solo never really fell to the dark side at all. Where Anakin Skywalker was seduced by the dark side, Ben Solo was instead trapped by it. […] The Rise of Kylo Ren makes it abundantly clear Palpatine’s dark presence was at Ben’s side that night, when Luke entered his nephew’s room to watch over him. Although it’s not officially stated, the comic strongly implies Palpatine chose to let the mask slip, allowing Luke to sense the infinite evil of the Dark Lord of the Sith himself. Little wonder Luke reacted on instinct, suddenly aware of an infinite darkness and believing it to be Ben himself. It was probably Palpatine himself who stirred Ben Solo at that moment, and the boy defended himself, goaded into action by the Emperor’s words.
With Luke Skywalker supposedly slain, the entire galaxy believes Ben Solo then turned on the Jedi and destroyed the Temple, slaughtering all of Luke’s students. […] In contrast, [to Anakin’s slaughter the Younglings], Ben Solo was no participant in the destruction of a Jedi Temple; The Rise of Kylo Ren reveals Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Temple was destroyed by Palpatine. The Emperor didn’t want to act openly, fearful Luke would be too powerful for him to defeat. But with Luke down, Palpatine unleashed a terrible Force Storm upon the Jedi Temple, killing everyone there. Ben was nothing more than an observer, watching in horror as almost everyone he’d grown up with was slaughtered. He took the blame for what happened when three Jedi who had been offworld arrived, and found him standing there, grief-stricken because he believed he’d just slain his own uncle and was unable to explain the atrocity he’d just witnessed. […]
Ben Solo never truly fell to the dark side of the Force. Instead, he was imprisoned by it, trapped by the Emperor’s schemes. […] In Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, when Kylo Ren told Rey to “surrender” to the dark side — unwittingly hinting at the relationship he himself had with it, one of conquest and defeat rather than conscious choice. Importantly, this reframes the end of Ben Solo’s story, because he isn’t a man of darkness redeemed, like his grandfather. Rather, he is a prisoner who was freed by the faith of his parents and the woman who loved him, and who sacrificed himself to free the galaxy and give Rey the gift of a life of freedom.

I CANT BELIEVE HOW CRAZY SHIT GOT 1500 votes… insane… I actually cant believe Shura isnt *that* far behind either
Anyways I’ve come back with propaganda for the boy… by talking a lot about another green haired boy dsjfkghkjfghkfdjh
Ive seen it here and there since this poll has gone nuts, some people saying that our boy Andromeda Shun deserved this place… and you’re right.
If anyone deserved to have title of green hair and pronouns it is our GNC 80’s king. I mean this boy invented effeminate men and yaoi in the 80’s, that’s iconic.
I mean look at him
For the record I did submit him!!!!!!! 😭😭😭 And all the other green haired characters in saint seiya, which is many. Shura got in to the brackets via a lottery 🥺
—
BUT MOST IMORTANTLY!!!!!!!!!!!
SHUN WOULD WANT SHURA TO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not only because he’s a very nice boy who wants the best for everybody jhgkjdgh but also because I really like he and Shura’s close relationship in Shura’s spinoff, Episode G
40 year old doctor Shun and 17 year old Shura (weird time traveling shenanigans happened ok) turn out to be pretty close, and Shun looks after him as though Shura is his son and its really cute ok 😭
He goes about town with him, buys him food, helps him out with getting an apartment, gets him a job, and councils him when he’s concerned that Shura might be depressed 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
ITS THE FRIENDSHIP NO ONE SAW COMING BUT IT WAS THE ONE WE NEEDED
Behold some panels I dug around for from Assassin:
Shura realizing what life and friendship is all about and Shun hoping that he gets to live out a happy life in the “second” chance he gets in this spinoff He doesnt get lmao once again he is sent out to KILL again 🥺🥺🥺 It’s a very sweet scene
ALL TO SAY!!!!!
A VOTE FOR SHURA IS A VOTE FOR SHUN AND ALL THE OTHER GREEN HAIRED CHARACTERS IN STS!!! SHUN WOULD WANT HIM TO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭
