oh man... Oh man have any of you guys heard of this band called the Gavinners?! I hadn't until someone on the forum posted this AMV (...can you still call it that if it's a live-action show <_<;) of Nickel Samurai using one of their songs @___@ it's here and man @____@ They're a great band and I went and downloaded all the songs I could find (which was like... two. I dunno if they've only done that much or if they've got lots of copy protection on their CDs or what but) and they're awesome even if they're not J-Pop. @__@

13 Years Hard Time For Love was the first one I heard 'cuz of that video you know and omfg it was amazing.

ANYONE ELSE HERE KNOW ABOUT THEM AND KNOW IF THEIR CDS ARE EASY TO FIND

SamuraiCon is getting closer and closer, and as such Neo Olde Tokyo Fansite and Forums is making a whole new section dedicated to pre-con interviews and some special stuff!

Our first feature is an interview with Nickel Samurai's Matt Enguarde, interviewed and written by yours truly! :D It's located right here...! Go ahead and read it, it's really interesting to get some insight on the man behind the Infinium Mask! 8D

We'll be putting more stuff up soon- I'm trying to get Wocky to pose in his costume for our Cosplay Sneak Peek page, but he's hard to convince. XD; If you have any suggestions lemme know..!

(Takes place on Thursday. Or whenever. It doesn't really matter. Bye, Meygan. ;_;)

( <Matty> ((*PEDOS ON*)) )

So me and Wocky were trapped in the grocery store with some creepy bald sweaty guy and then we ran into Penny and then we left and now I'm at the school because my apartment building apparently got pretty trashed up so I can't go back there and I don't know where my mom is anyway and I keep calling the Satin Curtain but she won't pick up and so I'm telling everyone about Steel Samurai here and they think it's awesome and man I can't wait for SamuraiCon..!

...Uh, so... is everyone else okay? .-----. I mean, everyone at the grocery store was, but since I can't find my mom, I... just wanted to make sure okay >:O

Wocky I know it's late and I'm gonna call your cell so you can wake up and see this but I just woke up and I feel like I have to tell you...

I was just having a dream about Fukubashi (you know from Nickel Samurai) and she was all 'Wow Samurai Green you're so precious' and I was all 'what' and she was all 'The things I'd do with you' and I was all 'what' again and then I woke up and now I'm all sticky.

...WHAT SHOULD I DO? IT'S TOO LATE TO WASH MYSELF OFF BUT I DUNNO IF I CAN GET BACK TO SLEEP AGAIN AND I THINK I GOT ATTACKED BY THE MAGISTRATE'S GUNK SPRAY.

I'm kinda freakin out here man but uuuuuhhhhh dunno what to dooooo...

((ATTN envythechemnerd! Sorry I wasn't on AIM earlier, I ended up being gone longer than I thought. XD If you wanna hit me up for SS info sometime soon, I'll be on IRC sometime tomorrow night, or if you wait until Sunday I'll be on AIM pretty much all day. 8D))

Spoilers ahead for those of you who don't read the official Samurai series website :D

They just did a major update, and added a page for Palladium Samurai! (Well they listed it as 'Next Samurai' but that's just 'cuz SamuraiCon's not until Global Day Weekend) It's pretty barren of information, but me and a couple of the forum guys found some secret stuff hidden in the source!

First of all, his weapon is named the Infinite Rapier, making him the second Samurai to wield a Rapier, after the Pink Princess! (We found this by looking at the name of a picture of it and running it through a binary decoder several times) It's a pretty cool looking thing- it's light blue with a silver hilt, and the kanji for 'Holy' engraved on the bottom of the blade.

Secondly, the color scheme for the Palladium Samurai (Following Red for Steel, Pink for PP, Black for Nickel, and Green for ZO) is light blue. His entire page is colored that way, in addition to his IR and what we've seen of his armor (Mostly his helmet [More on that in a sec] and his chest armor). His armor also has some dark green on it, but the primary color is, in fact, light blue. Nice choice..! :D

Thirdly, his Samurai Legend Armor has been revealed! 8D For those not in the know, SLA was introduced in Pink Princess, and since then each Samurai has had a magical piece of armor. Pink Princess had her Masquerade Accelerator, Nickel Samurai had his Eternal Seven Gloves, ZO had his Crash Brace, and now the Palladium Samurai has his 'Paladin Helm'! Its special ability is pretty sweet :D It takes the form of a normal helmet when not in use, but when activated it changes its form slightly and channels magical energies through the Infinite Rapier!! :D :D :D It's awesome rly. 8D

Fourthly (And maybe coolest @_@) is the bit of info they provided about his existance in TB3, which has been rumored for a while- At SamuraiCon, they're going to be giving away a Patch Disc, which if used in conjunction with your memory card, unlocks him and all of his alt-forms automatically. He'll also be usable in the tournament. @_@

UPDATE: As of an hour ago, accelerate from the NOT forums found a tidbit of information hidden in the site! Apparently, the Palladium Samurai fights with a style called Moonlight Sword with his Infinite Rapier, and when unarmed uses a fighting style called Paladin Fist... which get this- is a variation on Explosion Monk's Burning Fist techniques. omfg. This is amazing.

So! SamuraiCon, the ultimate Samurai series convention, is coming up on Global Day Weekend! (lol, Global Day- wonder if Global had that in mind) It's gonna be really awesome, there's gonna be tons of vendors and autograph sessions and stuff..!

But there's two super awesome things that're gonna happen at the con! :DDDDD

First off, they're going to be officially announcing Palladium Samurai..! I'll have the information up on my site as soon as I have it, I got a press pass this year and everything so I can get it early! Even if I technically can't post it until later anyway. Stupid non-disclosure agreements, ruining my fansite D:

But the biggest event at the con (Even bigger than PS, which is weird 'cuz that's the event) is the Tonosaman Budoukai 3 tournament! (Gonna come out here as Steel Samurai: Eternal Duel 3 soon, but they're still translating and taking out all the swearing) It's gonna be huge! So that's the main point of this post!

Who here plays TB3, and who here's gonna participate in the tournament?! Who do you main?!

I main Alt-EM, the Movie 2 Nightmare version! I made a mod for his outfit where he has blue robes and a dark green Nightmare Bomb..! He's reaaaaally hard but once you get the hang of him his ANEC (Aerial Nightmare Eternal Combo, I forgot I wasn't on the forum XD;;;) is really good and hard to get out of..! They're letting me compete in the adult division 'cuz I'm so good, so watch out, all you adult players! (rofl)

So you guys all know about my website, rite? Neo Olde Tokyo Fansite and Forums? It's the biggest Steel Samurai fansite on the web and has something like five million unique hits a month. Global thinks I'm pretty cool and they give me insider info and junk sometimes, but...

THE DOMAIN GOT STOLEN

I was supposed to renew it today b-but someone else bought it right at the last minute. >:[ So it's impossible for me to get in contact with any of my adult friends on the board to help, except for one...!

RoseRonin! He reads my journal a lot so I thought I'd post this to get his attention...!

RR, you said you knew a lot about the law in your profile so I thought I'd ask if this was legal and if there's anything we can do D:

Anyone else can help too but I know RR reads my journal and knows a lot about internet junk, I dunno if Mr. Wright does anymore or if he even knows what a domain name is. D:

Mother's Day was actually pretty cool. I took some pictures of some flowers for Mom and she liked them so much that she brought home some chicken wings from work. :B

But then we talked about the summer and she said that I can't go stay with Dad like I was gonna until he stops wearing the miniskirt, but I dunno what else I'm gonna do- I can't stay here 'cuz Mom has to work overtime at the Hooters and can't come home until real late. D: I guess I can just... convince Dad to stop wearing the miniskirt but he wants to wear it until the next con so he can tell if it gets too small for him. :( ANY IDEAS GUYS? I guess I could be all 'dad plz' and if he's all 'no' I can bribe him with anime?! :O

THIS IS UNFORGIVALBE>.

ZINC OXIDE SAMURAI HAS... IT'S BEEN...

IT'S BEEN CANCELLED.

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE. IT JUST CAME OUT ON THE WIRE, AND I'M... I'M...

............SUPER-MAD!!!

Global keeps cancelling these things at stupid times..! THIS WAS THE MIDDLE OF THE ARC, WHY DOES GLOBAL LOATHE US?!

I wonder if mom will let me off of school tomorrow... this is a tragedy...

...not that I'm cryaing or anything... Samurai do'tn cry...

BUT IM' SO PISSED AT GLOBAL, THEY BETTER ANNOUNCE A NEW ONE SOMETIME SOON... Maybe bring back Mr. Powers..!

UGH I AM FINALLY HOME!!! BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE...!!!

OMG...!!!!! :D :D :D :D

IT CAME...!!!!

In case you people here on my journal haven't been keeping up with my forum posts( y'know over on Neo Olde Tokyo Fansite Forums 8D~~), I ordered a limited edition Steel Samurai... get ready...

Limited Edition Steel Samurai cookie jar.

YES I GOT ONE! Only 500 of these were made! It plays the Steel Samurai theme when you open it. It's so awesome. I'll post pics of it on the forum later tonight! :D :D :D

Oh and in case you guys didn't know, I went to go live with my dad for a little while. Mom's shifts at work changed so she wouldn't be around and stuff and even though I'm totally old enough to care for myself and stuff (I even promised I wouldn't eat Steel Samurai pasta every night! But nope D:) mom still thought it was best I went to live with my dad for a bit until she got stuff sorted out. Bummer. I'm back now though...?!

Anyways my dad's place is upstate
And wtf he didn't even let me use his computer! SO lame D: He said I couldn't touch it because I might mess up his downloads (I swear he was downloading all of Pretty Princess Pimmy Pinku he could find, even tho he already OWNS the whole series... He's got some weird obsession with that show. Like... really weird D:).

For the records I PPPP is and animated series from the 80's (I think there's a live-action that came out in the early 90's too??) and it's about a princess who lives in a tree and the tree is pink and there's a wizard and a unicorn and Pimmy Pinku turns into a butterfly in one episode... IT'S REALLY GIRLY D: WTF DAD.

UGH. SCHOOL.

I know the Steel Samurai always says 'STAY IN SCHOOL' and even the Nickel Samurai said 'AND I LEARNED MY SKILLS AT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL', but... my teachers are so lame and I could spend all that time watching Zinc Oxide Samurai if I wasn't stuck at school! orz

Like today, my teacher was all 'MR. HACKINS PUT THAT SWORD IN YOUR BACKPACK' and I was all 'NO WAY IT'S MY LEGENDARY SAMURAI SWORD OF THE NORTH MOUNTAINS' and she was all 'ARE YOU BACKTALKING ME' and then I threw one of my Official Steel Samurai Cardboard Throwing Stars at her and she gave me a week's detention! I was like, wtf!

And even worse, she took my throwing star from me! I was all, what?! That's my throwing star! But she won't give it back until the end of the year... stupid star-stealing crone! She reminds me of the Hell Demon from last week's Zinc Oxide! LOL, tomorrow I should shout 'BEGONE WITH YE EVIL HELL DEMON' and see what she says! ROFL, she won't be able to stand up to the might of Samurai Green!

But yeah, detention is so lame... stupid teacher! I think that school should be punishment for people who stand against us Samurai!

I'm gonna go watch some Nickel Samurai and eat these leftover Samurai Brownies to calm down...! Justice will prevail someday! I know it! >:(

~Cody

Hi guys! I'm finally back!

'course, I got over being sick a week ago... I just faked it so I could stay out of school until Winter Break! And I pulled it off! lol

So anyway though, I got an early present today! It was some film, but... since I've been using a digital for a while now, it's pointless to me. So I went and returned it and bought a Steel Samurai official emblem set! It came with a badge with the logo, a hat with the logo, and a pair of socks with the logo...! So cool and... and... Man, it's just too awesome! *_*

Oh, and Mr. Enguarde, I sent your brownies the other day- they should be here today, or maybe on the 26th if they're late... if they are sorry, but they should still be good! They're Samurai Brownies, after all...!

So yeah, that's about it! I'm back and ready to... uh... talk Samurai! Yeah!

~Cody

(Okay, I just now realized that I accidentally made Cody two years older than he should be. XD; DAMN YOU RANDOM FANSITES THAT AREN'T CR. Reading CR now, I'm... retconning Cody to be 11? <_<; SINCE HE NEVER ACTUALLY SAYS HOW OLD HE IS HERE AND HE'LL ACT EXACTLY THE SAME, JUST PRETEND HE'S ALWAYS BEEN 11. HIS BIRTHDAY WAS IN SEPTEMBER. VIVA FORGETFULNESS AND LACK OF PLAYING 1-3 FOR GODDAMN EVER. XD)

mom and the doctor say i have the flu. :(

it rly sucks, too, cuz steel samurai on ice is tomorrow, and i might miss it if i'm not better by next thursday since that's the last day.
