Currently reading Ramesh Menon's Modern Rendering of Mahabharata to cure my obsession of a character in a gacha game I only touched once and never again.
Then again I am the kind of person who couldn't remember BLEACH Live Action when mom told me the premise and assigned me to find the title.

I genuinely thought it was Inuyasha. I am a clown. A fake fan.

At least Noragami resurfaced as an anime since all I remember was the chapter before the main trio was even completed since it took like a decade and failed attempts to look into the mangaupdates database.

Nevermind. Some things are better left as is.

I wish I did remember about that one cutesy shounen manga with the vampire(?) revenge plot and fated lovers trope. Probably. Just for closure.

I get weirdly attached to random generic stuff for some reason.

Cyber Formula was made for me.

The favored hero of the gods.

The weapon of the gods.

Both beloved by the people.

To Arjuna, he is the third Son of Pandu. A Pandava, a collective term for five brothers known for their skills and talent.

Arjuna was born to bring glory to his father and victory in his brother's name.

Arjuna is the Child of Indra, a powerful demigod hero. Kiriti.

Fancy titles and anecdotes befitting his status.

I just find the differences in how others perceive him and how he introduced himself to Ishtar a fascinating contrast.

I can forgive the pink pants(?) for Shalva Kumar just for the top half alone. I really love it, it's a feast for my eyes. Thanks wardrobe department.

I'm gonna assume they're just recycling regalia?diadem? here since whoops, he suddenly got a different headpiece in the court scene.

Also love the "Beloved!". I just really love this guy's voice okay?

A quick web search got me a name Rishabh Shukla.

I was so captivated by King Shantanu's delivery where he implores Gange to make love with him and other much more flowery phrases. He really sells the besotted king quite well and later a conflicted monarch bound by his vow.

Thrice if you count the whole reason he was incarnated was when he caused a stir by making out with Gange in full view of the court.

According to Ramesh Menon's Modern Rendering anyway. The tv serial made them trade amorous glances at each other.

Why is King Shantanu in the TV Serial so charismatic for no reason? I only know him as Devavrata's shitty old man and a lustful King who didn't learn his lesson twice over, dooming generations of Kuru into turmoil.
