Okay, I was sick so I spent most of my time is dead. Now that it's night, I feel much better, like a vampire. Well, let's get this bastard started again, and I say this in a sexy male vampire voice. ::::::::::::::: #277-273* Death Scythe, formerly known as Spirit from Soul Eater--he is voiced by: Hiroaki Hirata (Drama CD), and Toru Okawa (Anime)The current weapon of Shinigami in Soul Eater, and Maka's father. Death Scythe (or Spirit) is a "Death Scythe", a living weapon of the shinigami that has collected the souls of ninety-nine evil humans and one witch. In weapon form Death Scythe is a plain black scythe; and among the other Death Scythes, Spirit is the only one to be called Death Scythe as a sign of his authority among the others . Before, being used by Shinigami, Spirit was the weapon of Dr. Stein, where they were a formidable team together. Spirit's wife is Maka's mother but they are divorced due to him constantly flirting with other women. However, he actually is quite (very, very, very) loyal to his ex-wife and daughter and has quite silly (insane) way of showing his affection. ::::::::::::::: ~notes: Shinigami: means God of Death, or death god. ::The scars on her back kinda look like the place where wings should be... ::His name is (kinda) similar to a mecha in Gundam Wing, not to mention that he could transform into a weapon with the same name as his.::Reverse trap in a reverse harem. ::Umm... he looks like Gumby, honestly. ::A doctor in search of the monster he helped save. Starting now, whenever there is a tie I would start with the first character that is correctly guessed (is guessed even a word?). Anyway if there is some big spoilers I shall write them in black, so people would have a harder time reading the spoiler. Hey, if you already know or want to get hit by the spoiler beam you could just highlight it or copy-paste it to a program like notepad. If it's still easily readable then I'll do it like this. I'll also mention if the youtube vids have spoilers. That is all.

#277-273* It's a Trap!Haruhi Fujioka from Ouran High School Host Club--she is voiced by: Aya Hisakawa (early drama CDs), Maaya Sakamoto (original Japanese dub and later drama CDs), and Caitlin Glass (English dub)Okay, before we start, how many of you have played the video game Guilty Gear? The character Bridget, for those of you who haven't played the game, is a teenage boy who very disturbingly looks like a very, very very very, cute girl. That's what you call a Trap -- a male character wearing female clothing. They're either androgynous, or very feminine in appearance that the viewer would think they're female, hence the term "Trap". On the other hand, Reverse Traps are female characters that look male, either looking quite masculine or like a pretty boy -- which in this case would make most of us feel less guilty when we realize her true gender. Haruhi Fujioka would be the latter among the two general types of Reverse Trap. It all began during her time as a first-year student with a scholarship at the Ouran High School. The main requirement for her to continue studying in Ouran is that she needed to maintain her first rank in class. One day, while looking for a quiet place to study, she stumbles upon the Ouran Host Club... then breaking a very expensive vase belonging to the same club. To pay off her debt, it was then decided that she should work at the club by disguising herself as a boy by working as a host. She finds this easy to do as she feels that her gender does not dominate her personality. Due to her mother dying when she was 6, she has become skilled at many household chores. She also finds out that she enjoys working as a host, though she does not like taking time away for her to study. Though her straight-forward personality would sometimes clash with the other hosts and their antics, Haruhi becomes friends with them, and would realize later that she likes one of them. Above, proof that Haruhi is a girl; and below, more proof with Haruhi cosplaying as another Haruhi from a different show. ::::::::::::::: ~notes:Bridget, from Guilty Gear. A Trap. ::::::::::::::: ::The scars on her back kinda look like the place where wings should be... ::His name is (kinda) similar to a mecha in Gundam Wing, not to mention that he could transform into a weapon with the same name as his. ::Reverse trap in a reverse harem.::Umm... he looks like Gumby, honestly. ::A doctor in search of the monster he helped save.

Okay, it's #277-273*, the Jelly Jiggler. Uh... let's try that again... ...*coughs* ::We apologise for the fault in the pictures. Those responsible have been sacked.(seriously, my computer crashed as I was writing up my next entry; I'm just posting some filler to cheer me up for losing my (semi) hard work.)... ::We apologise again for the fault in the pictures.

#277-273* Tokoro Tennosuke, aka Jelly Jiggler in the English dub, from Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo--he is voiced by: Keiichi Sonobe (Japanese anime), Takashi Nagasako (PS2 game), and Jamieson Price (English anime dub)Born October 10, his first (and failed) job was a(n) (unsold) food product. Jelly Jiggler in the dub, his Japanese name Tokoro Tennosuke was a pun on "tokoroten", a jelly made of agar. Being a creature of jelly composition, Jiggler has the ability to shape himself to any form, and regenerate; something that Bo-bobo would use for his benefit. He can also assist Bo-bobo and Don Patch in the "BoBo Patchinosuke" fusion and can seperately fuse with Bo-bobo to become "TenBoBo". He is unable to fly, but it is said that he tastes like lychee. While not so much a consolation, Jiggler does taste like lychee. His early life was a mystery, but being made of tokoroten it is assumed that he was made in a factory, possibly meaning that he had no childhood at all, though there were two (unproven) moments that say otherwise. In any case, most of Jiggler's known existence was in a supermarket, where no one bought him --being a sentinent jelly-man-thing, even for ten yen. Over time this fact would make him resent tofu, which was as squshy as he is but buyable. Jiggler kind of resembles Gumby, though his personality is quite different from the clay-boy-thing. He is (relatively) serious, acting calm most of the time. However, due to the his previous experience as an unsold and uneaten food item, his blue jelly exterior hides (not really) an emotional side. *cue music from the world's smallest violin* *picture time~* It's a majestik moose...::::::::::::::: ~notes:Everyone responsible for the faulty picture has been sacked. Right now. End of story. ::The scars on her back kinda look like the place where wings should be... ::His name is (kinda) similar to a mecha in Gundam Wing, not to mention that he could transform into a weapon with the same name as his. ::Reverse trap in a reverse harem. ::Umm... he looks like Gumby, honestly.::A doctor in search of the monster he helped save.

And Luffy, the hyperactive Pirate who never takes no for an answer and is very powerful. And Goku, the hyperactive Alien with a Monkey Tail who never takes no for an answer and is very powerful SEE!

#277-273* Angel from The Big O--she is voiced by: Emi Shinohara (Japanese), and Wendee Lee (English)Angel is the enigmatic femme fatale whom Roger, the main character in The Big O, would encounter several times in the story. An agent of Paradigm, she would at first introduce herself as Casseey Jenkins, and later on as Patricia Lovejoy. She would frequently tell Roger during their encounters to call her Angel, and he would reply in turn by saying that she's a fallen angel. There are two scars on her back, which might look like the spot where the wings of an actual angel should be. By day, she is a secretary to the chairman of the Paradigm Group. However, her real job within the group is that of a secret agent whose task is to take information or certain items; and at many times this would clash with Roger's own duty, though there is no doubt that there is some sort of romantic attraction between them. By the end of season 1 it would be revealed that she is a member of "The Union" and would leave Paradigm and later on would become a wildcard on no one's side at the start of season 2. ::::::::::::::: ~notes:::The scars on her back kinda look like the place where wings should be... ::His name is (kinda) similar to a mecha in Gundam Wing, not to mention that he could transform into a weapon with the same name as his. ::Reverse trap in a reverse harem. ::Umm... he looks like Gumby, honestly.::A doctor in search of the monster he helped save.

#277-273* Kenzou Tenma from Monster--he is voiced by: Hidenobu KiuchiAt the start of the story, Kenzo Tenma was one of the best neurosurgeons working at the Eisler Memorial Hospital in Düsseldorf, Germany; and is also engaged to the daughter of the hospital director, Eva Heinemann. His good life would soon reach a turning point when he decides to save the life of a young boy, who had arrived first, instead of a high-ranking politician, due to a previous case that haunted his conscience. Tenma would be able to save the young boy, yet at the same time the politician would die during operation. Tenma is demoted, and his fiance Eva would cancel the engagement; but it would soon fall into deeper chaos as several doctors, including the hospital director, would be found dead. Tenma would have become a prime suspect, if he had not been drinking heavily during the time of the murders. And due to the death of several doctors, Tenma is once again promoted and his life goes on back to the road to normal. But many years later, his patient, a witness to several murders, is shot dead in front of his eyes by Johan Liebert --the young boy he had saved long ago, and is the one who had killed the doctors during that. Since that he was the one who had saved a Johan's life before, Kenzou Tenma had decided that his duty is to destroy the monster that he had saved. However, Tenma would be framed as the culprit to the murders, causing him to escape from police while trying to hunt Johan down. Despite his intent to kill Johan, Tenma is a humanitarian and would help save many lives during his search for the monster. ::::::::::::::: ~notes:::The scars on her back kinda look like the place where wings should be... ::His name is (kinda) similar to a mecha in Gundam Wing, not to mention that he could transform into a weapon with the same name as his. ::Reverse trap in a reverse harem. ::Umm... he looks like Gumby, honestly. ::A doctor in search of the monster he helped save.Later: more clues~

#272-265* Roy Mustang from Fullmetal Alchemist--he is voiced by: Toru Ohkawa (original Japanese dub), Travis Willingham (English dub)Also known as the Flame Alchemist, Colonel Roy Mustang is introduced early at the start of the series; only briefly at the first episode and introducing himself to Alphonse and Edward Elric in episode three. The two brothers had recently failed in their attempt to resurrect their mother -- Edward losing an arm and a leg, and Alphonse losing his entire body, leaving the young boy trapped in a suit of armor. Mustang, however, had noticed their talent in alchemy and invited them to go to Central and take the test to become State Alchemists. Also, in the beginning of the anime Roy Mustang is ranked Liutenant Colonel, but he would be promoted later on more than one occasion, but for most part he would hold the rank of Colonel. At first, Mustang's outward attitude could describe him as an arrogant man and a womanizer, and his goal in the army seems to be nothing more than to further his career as a soldier, and become the leader of the entire military. However, his true agenda was to change the current government; as atonement for his own actions during the Ishbal War, where he had killed enemy rebels and civilians. Few people know his true intentions, but he has the loyalty of many of his men, ironically due to his participation in the war. A powerful alchemist in his own right, Mustang wears gloves with transmutation circles on them that are made of a material called "pyrotex/ignition cloth" that spark when he snaps his fingers. By adjusting the oxygen densities in the surrounding atmosphere through alchemy, he can create flames anywhere in the surrounding area at will and manipulate them as he desires. While oxygen, by itself, cannot combust, it is assumed that he makes use of the more flammable gases found in the atmosphere such as hydrogen. The battle between the Flame Alchemist Roy Mustang and the Fullmetal Alchemist Edward Elric. Spoiler level: low-medium. English dub. Extra video~ Possibly another reason why Mustang wants to become leader. Spoiler level: Tiny Miniskirts!

#272-265* Ryoga Hibiki from Ranma 1/2--he is voiced by: Koichi Yamadera (Japanese), and Michael Donovan (English)Quite possibly the main, or at least most familiar, rival to Ranma Saotome in the anime and manga; Ryoga Hibiki's rivalry between the water-turns-him-into-a-girl Ranma began in junior high, over the last piece of bread being sold. This would happen so many times (every single time, in fact) that Ryoga would challenge Ranma to a fight, which could had been a pretty normal fight, except for the fact that Ryoga has a poor sense of direction. When I say that Ryoga has a poor sense of direction, I mean Ryoga has a poor sense of direction, times several hundreds and crap. Ranma would only wait for three days before leaving with his father to train in China, while Ryoga would arrive in the vacant lot the fight was supposed to take place in four days. That might have been the main cause of his grudge to the girl-boy, but it's not, just a snowball rolling down a metaphorical slope that had a deep pit at the bottom. Quite possibly the pit is filled with lots of magma, even. Ryoga tried to follow Ranma to start (and finish) their fight, and he would actually catch up to him... in the cursed springs of Jusenkyo. He would find himself falling into the Heitowennîchuan; thus cursing him to become a small black piglet when he is soaked with water. I can't remember if Ranma or his father was the cause of Ryoga falling into the cursed waters, but he was pretty angry at Ranma when they finally saw each other again. Becoming a small, edible, and quite possibly tasty piggy could do that to you. Unlike Ranma, Ryoga had no real formal training in martial arts, but is quite powerful enough to fight Ranma to a draw, or even defeat him on a few occasions. His endurance and brute strength are, most of the time, far superior compared to Ranma, who had the greater advantage in speed. However, Ryoga as a piglet has no chance in an actual fight, unlike female Ranma who retained the same capabilities for martial arts. In his piglet form, Ryoga would be adopted by Ranma's fiance Akane (not knowing that the piggy is Ryoga) and would name him P-chan, with P apparently standing for Pig. Her doting attitude towards him in his form would cause Ryoga to become infatuated with her, though she has no idea at all about his feelings toward her, since she has no idea that P-chan is Ryoga. However, at least in the manga Ryoga does find Akari Unryu who falls in love with him, and even more so when she finds out about his curse*. *due to the fact that her family runs a dojo dedicated to training massive sumo pigs. Despite being rivals, Ranma and Ryoga share a mutual respect for their fighting skills. ::::::::::::::: ~notes:Heitowennîchuan: Spring of Drowned Black Piglet -chan:Japanese honorific that is used as a term of endearment. P-chan: Apparently, P is for pig, I guess. Name meaning: Ryoga can be broken down to mean "good fang" which refers to the fact that Ryoga has fangs. Hibiki is translated as "to echo or resound" ::Otaku father to an otaku daughter. ::"On that day, all female offiecers are required to wear... Tiny Miniskirts!"::A show-off ninja with a star on his shoulder. ::Martial artist with absolutely no sense of direction, also a piggy.::Former Spirit Detective whose views on humans and demons have become twisted. ::Small robot that kinda looks like an egg.

On this entry, I had no choice but to copy-paste from a wiki since I haven't really watched the anime and I could barely find any info. I can't find good pics either, so sorry in advance~#272-265* Terry the Kid/Terry "The Grand" Kenyon from Kinnikuman: Nisei/Ultimate Muscle--he is voiced by: Toshiyuki Morakawa, Ai Nonaka (Japanese); Frank Frankson (English)Terry is the son of the Texas wrestler Legend, Terryman and Natsuko Sh¨no, a Japanese reporter. Kid always believed that Suguru Muscle stole the fame from his father, and held a grudge against the Muscles because of it, saying that he will come in first place to Mantaro Muscle and prove that his family is better. He even hated his father because of all this, and always said that he is nothing like him. After he learns about the power of friendship, he changes his ways and becomes best friends with Mantaro, but he still works independently now and then. Kid has a soft spot for many things, and is always willing to support his team. He even gave up the Chojin Olympics to save a little boy from drowning. Even though his family's moves aren't much of a powerhouse as others, he is still able to do critical damage on his opponent. Like Terryman, he will sometimes refer to others as You (¥æ©`, Y¨±?) and himself in the first person as Me (¥ß©`, M¨©?). As his father was frequently referred to as Terry (¥Æ¥ê©`, Ter¨©?) in the original series, Terry the Kid is usually referred to as Kid (¥¥Ã¥É, Kiddo?) in order to differentiate the two of them. ::::::::::::::: ~notes:::Otaku father to an otaku daughter. ::"On that day, all female offiecers are required to wear...

#272-265 Sojiro Izumi from Lucky Star--he is voiced by: Hirokazu Hiramatsu (Japanese), and Tony Oliver (English)Sojiro Izumi is Konata Izumi's father, an author who works at home. He always wears loose, traditional Japanese clothing as his work clothes. He loves watching anime and playing video games, which influenced his daughter's interests. Sojiro is "also a lolicon". This appreciation for neoteny may be one factor that caused him to fall in love with Kanata, whom he eventually married. He describes that he likes girls as men normally do, but that he also appreciates younger ones. This means that this attraction is equal or possibly secondary, meaning he does not have a preference for them, so despite being a 'lolicon' (person with a lolita complex) he would not be a pedophile. Throughout the show news reports and conversations indicate that young girls in the area are being approached by a strange man, and a running joke in the show involves hints that Sojiro is in fact the one doing it. The best example of this is the opening, part of which involves Sojiro spying on two schoolgirls from behind a lamppost. Sojiro is very thin, and has unshaven facial hair, he has a mole under his left eye which his daughter inherited and has thick eyebrows. Additionally, he is allergic to pollen and when he decided to wear goggles and masks as protection from it, Konata sighed that, "Now you look weirder as well". She also frequently reminds him, "Please don't do anything as to be taken away by the cops". Also, he often forgets to lock the door when he is using the toilet, which has left Yutaka with a tremendous shock. Sojiro holds a deep love for his wife, Kanata Izumi, who passed away many years before. When Konata asks why Kanata chose to be with Sojiro, Sojiro points out that he and his wife simply looked past outwards appearances: Kanata loved Sojiro despite his otaku tendencies, and Sojiro obviously did not mind that Kanata had an unusual physique and did not share his hobbies. Mosquitoes; spoiler level: minimal, and a reference to The Fist of the North Star.::::::::::::::: ~notes:--Copy-pasted info again, since I feel kinda sick (and lazy) today. (mostly sick.) I might finish the four remaining characters via copy-paste later, too. Maybe. ::Otaku father to an otaku daughter. ::"On that day, all female offiecers are required to wear...
