Captain Mizuki's watermelon crushing antics were likely inspired by real life elite athlete and entrepreneur Kortney Olsen (@KortneyOlson) who can perform this feat of strength in real life!

Captain Mizuki's chipper personality, warm-up routine, expertise at pole vaulting and perfect abs might also be inspired by Allison Stokke (@allisonstokke) a professional pole vaulter and fitness model.

Here's her Instagram:

Captain Mizuki is a very unique character design. It's not often that you see extremely muscular women in mainstream entertainment. And she's presented as extremely attractive, but not in a fetishistic way. It's not just the idea, it's the execution that really makes it work.
I think it's crucial to Captain Mizuki's portrayal that she primarily looks COOL rather than sexy. I personally don't have any problem with sexy characters, just saying that this approach makes her come across as effortlessly sexy. It's very unforced. It works so well!
Captain Mizuki is as unselfconscious, relaxed and focused in her mannerisms as the cool male characters in One Punch Man.
Mizuki's demeanor, poses and expressions are very different from say, She-Hulk who often has a come hither expression. Or Wonder Woman who typically looks like she's posing for the camera (which actually suits her mythic characterization).
I think there's a reason people are going nuts over Capt Mizuki. She's scratching an itch that has gone neglected for a long time for many readers. One that a lot of folks didn't even know they had! It's like finding a new fav food with a combo of flavors you didn't know existed.
Hot dang. I just love how Yusuke Murata lovingly details her abs! It's so good! The contrast between her iconic expressive face and super realistic abs is FANTASTIC. It takes masterful execution to make such disparate elements blend so seamlessly!

I love how her abs and other muscular definition are done with tone here instead of lines. SO GOOD!

What a great character! Captain Mizuki!
Please read One Punch Man everyone! The official comics have always been free to read!

Just want to say: I haven't thrown around any words like "progressive" or anything like that. I'm not saying liking this character makes you a good person. Just trying to dig into why this particular design and execution feels so fresh and appealing for many. That's all ✌️☮️
Thanks for reading! Have a good one!

Wanna know why #Sonic looks so terrible in the Hollywood adaptation? It's because people in positions of power & influence genuinely think the new look is a better, more globally appealing design than the classic Sonic that we know and love. This is a thread on why that's dumb✌️
Throughout my career in videogames and animation in general, I often hear this hoary old chestnut:

"Only Western style art is mass market. Anime and everything else is niche"

It's this out of touch attitude that results in the butchering of something as iconic as Sonic.
Certain forces behind the film (and it's most likely from up top, not from the individual artists--don't go blaming them so fast!) are so arrogant that they believe their arbitrary meddling will result in improvements to classic time tested franchises.

RIP Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto, one of the most talented and explosive fighters to ever step into the ring. He was like a fighting game character come to life, competing at the highest levels of combat sports. He will be missed.

Longtime fans of MMA will recall that during the 2000s Kid Yamamoto was an absolute killer in the ring.
While the stereotype for Asian martial artists is one of stoic honor and discipline, Kid was known for his expolossive athleticism and raw ferocity (as you can see from this flying knee, one of the flashiest KOs of all time)

Found this big bad beetle boi on my porch the other night. It's a Xylotropes Gideon aka Thai fighting beetle (my fav animal)! Looks like our dogs had already found him and roughed him up a bit. He was writhing on his back covered in dirt, but these things are built tough!
I put him in a plastic bin with a longan (we have longan trees in our yard and they're everywhere this time of year). I left the top open so he could leave at any time.
When I checked in the next morning he was still there going to town on the fruit!

1/Oh, well if a trump advisor says it’s so, it must be! You are gross for giving this a platform @ such a critical time, & trump said that the stock market is “the POTUS’s fault” when Obama was in office. Know what crashes stocks & the economy? The GOP. End of 1st tweet.
Unlike you simplistic trumpers, here’s some real economic analysis: (1). The tax scam 1 cost Medicare/Medicaid/Social Security $500B. That, in turn, hurts the economy bc ppl have no $ to spend, & consumer confidence is low. Consumer confidence is important, bc
(2). it’s one of the better indications of how the economy & market are doing. Business confidence is often an artificial construct—it’s based largely on fear, not reality. Consumer confidence, on the other hand, is literally based on whether individuals have any $ to spare. So,

Dear first-generation graduate students: I’m thinking of you today. Here are some things that I wish someone had told me when I started graduate school. /1
a. Every encounter from here on out is a professional encounter. Be prepared and walk into your classes prepared to act like a future colleague. It is your job to show your advisors that that is what you are.
b. At the same time, you are also a student. Find a mentor to whose you can ask the difficult questions. Sometimes that mentor is another graduate student who is more advanced than you. Look for the person who is willing to admit their defeats, who will demystify the process.

Scooters are an early indication of what batteries plus software plus autonomy might do to cars. Scooters compete with walking, yes but they also unbundle an on-demand ride in an old-fashioned car.
And on the other side, things that look like golf carts seem interesting. If a town or the center of a city is autonomy only at weekends or at night, what vehicles does that mean? If you know the ride is 2 miles at 15 mph, that doesn’t need to be a vehicle that can go on highways
One could speculate some cities might have ‘express’ and ‘local’ road vehicles - you get a 10 seat shared vehicle (an on-demand, dynamically routed ‘bus’) to go 50 blocks, a ‘real’ car for a low-volume 25 block trip, a (shared?) buggy for 10 blocks and a scooter for 5 blocks

I think the seismic and hallucinatory nature of what is happening right now is because of our (mis) perception of history.
Who knew, when reading history books about Italy or Germany or Rwanda or Cambodia that terrifying things unfold in such a halting, chaotic way.
When you read history books, the narrative is usually neat, the threads are plucked from the chaos and fog of the everyday. It makes sense, it's organized, it's revelatory.

Now that McCabe is toast. let’s see how the media tries to spin it. This is the OIG report that nails McCabe to the wall. Two counts of perjury under oath and two counts of lying to the FBI. static01.nyt.com/files/2018/us/…
Fox: “DOJ IG releases explosive report that led to firing of ex-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe” foxnews.com/politics/2018/…
CBS: “DOJ Inspector General report on fired Andrew McCabe claims he "lacked candor” cbsnews.com/news/doj-ig-re… No mention of lying under oath

1. You’ve probably seen articles like this today and, hopefully, you’re reading them — and not just for the joy of watching the #GOP squirm at a squeaking defeat in what should’ve been a GOP blowout. The reactions of the opposition are strategic clues. apple.news/AmbTmoZhNTRqtK…
2. Particularly, I want to draw your attention to this statement from Paul Ryan. Basically, he’s pointing out that because Lamb didn’t have a primary opponent, he was able to run as a more conservative Dem which allowed him to win a district DT won by 20 pts.
3. Let’s unpack that a little. Two things are implied here. One, they know that GOP (and their support of DT) is frowned on enough that there is willingness to vote Dem in red districts with palatable messaging (moderate, willingness to work in a bipartisan manner).
