Just looked at the trope page. Was amused by the fact that everyone calls him Bad Ass in about seven different ways.
they sure like pointing out "Dingoes"
wait until you get to that scene
you can't NOT think he's a badass after that
I read the manga. It was so ridiculous
he has to take something out of his abdomen surgically in the middle of the Australian outback
with like bare basic tools
and no anesthetic whatsoever
and if he doesn't, he'll die, and he's also lost IIRC
so this fucking badass just performs surgery on himself
and the smell of the blood attracts dingoes
and they fucking attack his bubble
(for lack of a better word /) ___(\ )
and he fights those assholes off
WHILE PERFORMING SURGERY ON HIMSELF, WITHOUT ANESTHETIC
oh yeah and he basically gave Pinoko her body... while drunk
bow to him
(ohmigawd why did i leave this fandom at all ;__
have you seen Ray the Animation?
it's a kinda-sorta Black Jack spinoff
basically ascended fanfiction
but Tezuka's studio signed on for the anime adaptation so it's legit
it's a 12 (13? idr) episode anime
good watch if you like BJ
it's about a girl who was born in a "white room" full of children intended to be used as organ donors
and by organ donors, I mean not willingly
I should be at home, innocently reading books
organs sold on the black market
she gets her eyes removed as part of this
but You-Know-Who comes along and gives her new, x-ray eyes.
so she basically becomes BJ 2.0
raised by a surgeon, learns to become a surgeon herself
the whole series tackles bioethical issues, cloning, etc.
and has a lot of fun BJ-style surgeries too
with hilarious sci-fi elements to some of them
and also, love triangle and kinda-sorta incest!
definitely checking it out
yeah, not many people know about it since it's ascended fanfiction
i'm not supposed to be on the computer > >
and not especially mainstream
my dad'll be here in about...
(for some reason, as soon as you said that the girl got x-ray eyes, i imagined her waking up and freaking at BJ's)
she actually does have x-ray eyes though
like, she can see through clothing and shit too.
