No 2D/anime:

This is the part where you say "Just kidding!"
 
It's an iOS and Android app called "P.S. I LOVE U GACKT". Not sure if still available, but the Twitter account was active up until a couple of years ago.

I have quickly learned there is no escape from GACKT.

You want to play a square rpg? He is there reading LOVELESS to you. You want to watch a gundam movie? He is there, singing the opening. Want to watch a colorful niche western film? He is there, as the lead actor. And now when you are bored, looking at random app games, he is there, posing as a handsome doctor.

Soon he will consume all.



He's an ok guy but I usually dont like his work. Its so weird seeing him pop up in almost random places.

Jesus Christ haha, wow.

I want him to appear as himself in Kingdom Hearts III now.

Man, SC5 made it that a lot of characters ended up with an unhappy ending, and her's just seemed unfortunate in an "unromantic" kind of way. Kilik had to run off because of his curse, she gave up the son she had with him (basically family is ashamed of the bastard), then her family married her off to someone. Basically she had a soap opera bad end. I wasn't a fan of her but it felt like reading the bad end of some dating sim or something.

Makes you think what they would do when SC6 comes around.
 
The answer is of course Kazuma Kiryu.

But what about Hououin Kyouma? When he finally made an appearance in Steins;Gate 0 it was magic.

Steins;Gate is a masterpiece.

Talanah Khane Padish of Horizon Zero Dawn. She hunts robot dinosaurs and breaks glass ceilings. Doesn't get much cooler than that.

Middle East is continental Asia, but not what people means when they say "Asian", and funnily enough most of the posts assumed/went-with East Asian anyway because Asian in the vernacular often ignores South/SE Asia, as well as Slavic/Mongolian Asia. Not anyone's fault, really, just a Thing.

South Asian and South East Asian doesn't have much representation, yes, but Middle East is bang on in the Middle. It is far from what's considered Asian.

Persia bordered India technically, at its height.

And then Kilik fights her daughter...

I hate what they did with the cast of Soul Calibur.
 
Bruh.

You play as the Prince of Persia, not Prince of Modern Day Iran.

Anyway the Middle East has been considered part of the Asia continent for the longest time, it just don't mesh well with our modern geopolitical compartmentalization. At least this is how it's taught in the US (in the 90s) and I imagine this is the basis for that post.

The Prince is white anyway

No one posted Kazuya Mishima yet?
Shame on you!


Look at that bad-ass.

Also I had no idea Ada was Asian, she sure doesn't look like one (thought neither does my redhead, blue-eyed daughter..).

Came in here to post a tekken character. Really surprised it took this long. You picked the wrong Mishima

This man is Tekken. He's undergone a very interesting transformation from moustache twirling villain who wants to take over everything, to somewhat of an anti-hero because over the course of the games we begin to learn more about why he is the way he is and how you could even interpret him as a good guy.

Edit: Damn beaten

Can't believe OP is somehow arguing Iran is not in Asia. Pray, where, then?
Especially when they come from Britain where Asian is much more associated with West and South Asia i.e. BBC Asian Network. For the East, people here in the UK still use that word beginning with o that I believe is a bit taboo in the States.

But despite all that, I'm still going to post Haruka Amami from Japan

What do I care for your suffering? Pain, even agony, is no more than information before the senses, data fed to the computer of the mind. The lesson is simple: you have received the information, now act on it. Take control of the input and you shall become master of the output.

I like Ryo Hazuki. Those game models from Shenmue are sensational. The specificity of 1986 Japan makes the whole cast/town still a marvel.
