amuro tooru roles

Aoni Production has removed Tooru Furuya from his roles as Sabo from One Piece and Amuro from Detective Conan. No information on replacement voice actors has come out yet. [Thanks, LiveDoor!]

In an apology and announcement on Aoni Production's home page (as of June 22, 2024), Aoni Production explained that it discussed the recent scandal involving Furuya's adultery with him. Because his behavior harmed the image of Sabo and Amuro, it asked him to step down from those two roles. He complied. At the end of the announcement, Aoni Production apologized to all fans of those two works, as well as the staff and cast.

At the end of the message, Furuya added his own apology. He stated that he caused a lot of trouble for people as a result of his actions. In order to make up for fans of the characters he voices and works they appear in, he decided to step down from the roles after a lot of thinking, saying that this is the only thing he can do to apologize to everyone.

For reference, the scandal refers to Furuya cheating on his wife with a fan of his work specifically as Amuro in Detective Conan. While they were going out, he used to speak with her while affecting the intonations of Amuro's character. During their time together, he pressured her into having unprotected sex, impregnated her, and then made her abort the baby. He also hit her during an argument once. Aside from Sabo and Amuro, Tooru Furuya also lost his role as an unknown character in Atlus's upcoming RPG Metaphor: ReFantazio.

More information on who will replace Furuya as Sabo and Amuro will appear in the future.

Best Elden Ring build

It's an exciting weekend! Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree is live, giving us an excuse to head into the Lands Between and to the Land of Shadow. New challenges await, basically. So, as we all prepare to dive back in, let's each share what we consider our best Elden Ring build. Maybe it can help us with different ideas or to overcome certain bosses!

I'd been trying to move away from sword and board builds in soulslikes, but Elden Ring hit me with the double whammy of timed blocks and the gorgeous looking Sword of Night and Flame. It requires a big investment into a whole spread of stats which isn't ideal, but that's a price I'm willing to pay to shoot lasers AND fire waves. — Elliot

I feel like I need to preface this by apologizing before revealing that I am one of those players that dual wields the Moonveil and the Meteoric Ore Blade katanas. And when not throwing magic lasers from my sword and using gravity to destabilize enemies, I like to use a vast array of magic spells to keep enemies at bay. Or... just simply throw a laser beam for good measure. — Daniel

I am nothing if not predictable. Even in my attempts to play a Souls-esque game in a new way led me back to a Big Sword and Bigger Flips. Between the Ruin Greatsword, the classic Greatsword, the Royal Greatsword, and the Moonlight Greatsword: I found myself holding two colossal greatswords enchanted with ice as extra spice. That, combined with the intense poise damage from the jump attacks, made my journey through The Lands Between less Berserk and more Moe Szyslak. I gotta tell you, it was pretty terrific. — John

     How To Use Iris Of Occultation And Grace In Elden Ring Sote Featured ImageLike most FromSoftware DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree places you in a completely new area with new items to acquire. There's even an all-new leveling system that only works within the new Shadow Realm. With all this in mind, we will scour the latest map and figure out how to use Iris of Occultation and Grace in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree. Where to use Iris of Occultation and Grace in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Image: PC Invasion If you've been running around Elden Ring SotE with both/either of these items, you'll more than likely have discovered one place you can use them. Both the Iris of Occultation and Grace can be used at the same two NPCs and reward you with different items depending on the item and the NPC you give it to. And while you are technically able to just use both of these items, make sure you do not use these items on yourself. So if you happen to have one or both of these items, there are two NPCs you'll be able to give them ...

     Elden Ring rockets up Steam thanks to DLC, but can't top launch record

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree has seen FromSoftware's magnum opus rocket up the Steam charts, but as it stands this hasn't been enough for it to be crowned most played game, or even for it to reach the heights of launch in 2022. With some PC players calling on FromSoftware to fix performance woes and the overall balancing, the DLC appears to have been held back from making the launch weekend splash it could have, even if it's still doing incredibly well.

     King Legacy codes June 2024

June 23, 2024: We looked around for new King Legacy codes that might have dropped as the game crossed the three billion visits milestone.

Looking for new King Legacy codes? The Roblox gacha game is one of the most popular on the platform right now. The developer, Venture Lagoons, is great at handing out new codes with a new update, and they even hide the occasional secret code in the world. We've sailed the oceans for the latest codes and listed them below to make the search easier on yourself.

King Legacy codes can give you anything from in-game currency and gems to a full stat refund, so you can respec your character from scratch if you wish to do so. And if these aren't enough Roblox freebies for you, take a look at our Roblox promo codes guide, or maybe discover some of the other best Roblox games right now. Blade Ball codes come to mind.

What are the new Fruit Battlegrounds codes? Codes for this Roblox game are a must-have if you want to dominate the leaderboards in the fruity arena. Players are drawn to Popo's game for the anime style and inspiration. You've probably already guessed, but it's another adventure game based on a certain fruit-obsessed Japanese franchise.

You might be wondering how to get your hands on Fruit Battlegrounds codes to get free gems that you can spend on free spins, or if you're playing other Roblox games, we have Project Slayers codes and Blox Fruits codes, too. And if you're looking for something a little more new and shiny, Blade Ball codes and Pet Simulator 99 codes are coming in hot.

June 23, 2024: We had a look around for new Fruit Seas codes for UPD 2.2.

What are the new Fruit Seas codes? Whether you choose to become a pirate to plunder the seven seas or a marine that hunts down boisterous buccaneers, you may want some extra boosts or Beli to help begin your adventure. However, the codes do not last very long whenever they become available, so you'll need to redeem them as soon as you can.

Fruit Seas, formerly known as Demon Piece, is just one of many Roblox experiences that take inspiration from its other anime games. If you want free stuff for them as well, we have all the latest Blox Fruits codes, Anime Champions codes, and Fruit Battlegrounds codes for you to redeem. Since time is of the essence, here are all the Fruit Seas codes.

     Elden Ring Hornsent quest guide

How do you complete Hornsent's quest in Elden Ring? There's a lot of new NPCs in the Land of Shadow, and every single one of them is as mysterious as they are esoteric. Completing their quests takes a lot of guesswork, and this is also true of Hornsent (or "the hornsent" as some other NPCs refer to him as). Luckily, we've gone ahead and compiled all there is to know about his quest for revenge.

The other major sidequest in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree involves Needle Knight Lena with a branching path in Hornsent's quest, so be sure to take a peek at the Leda quest guide. Otherwise, you're going to want to read the Golden Hippopotamus boss guide and the Messmer the Impaler boss guide, as Hornsent can assist with both if you play your cards right.

What are the new Slap Battles codes? In this Roblox experience, the only thing that matters is getting the most slaps. For each one you get, you can work your way closer to having the most destructive palm in the galaxy.

So, if you want to have the most powerful slapping hand, you'll need to work for it. There are plenty of other Roblox experiences out there if this one loses its appeal, and we have the latest freebies for the likes of Blade Ball codes, Anime Last Stand codes, and Toilet Tower Defense codes. Without further ado, these Slap Battles codes will give you a bit of a boost to get started.

What are the latest Anime Roulette codes? Becoming the character of your dreams is as simple as spinning a wheel and earning a species as a title, forever altering your avatar. So, if you've ever fancied yourself as a Stand user from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, a Super Saiyan from the Dragon Ball series, or a Devil Fruit user from One Piece, this is the Roblox experience for you.

However, brand-new players can reliably earn very few titles in this Roblox game. This is where Anime Roulette codes come in. They give you money to expand your storage and some Super Rolls to roll and potentially win rare in-game titles. If you fancy playing a more active anime experience, we have Anime Last Stand codes, Tower Defense X codes, and Blox Fruits codes for a whole bunch of freebies.

Your goal is to become king of the pirates, but your journey isn't going to be easy. Powering up in the early game might seem simple at first, but the game becomes much more difficult when you hit the level cap.

There is a silver lining, however. Once you reach the higher levels, you can start entering several Second Piece codes to get free stuff. If you find this Roblox game a bit difficult to start, we also have Fruit Battlegrounds codes and Blox Fruit codes, which are available to everyone from the beginning.

What are the newest Aura RNG codes? The main point of Aura RNG is to roll for the coolest effect possible and apply it to your Roblox avatar. You can earn coins by exploring the world and completing quests to buy potions that boost your chances. However, that takes quite a while, especially if you're new and want a fantastic look out of the gate.

That's where these Aura RNG codes come in, as they'll give you free potions that increase your luck. These Roblox games allow you to roll the in-built gacha system without financial commitment. If that thrill appeals to you, you should probably check out our Anime Roulette codes, as that experience has remarkably similar gameplay.

How do you complete Needle Knight Leda's questline in Elden Ring? FromSoftware is known for punishing games with deep, esoteric lore; however, they are not known for writing satisfying and easy-to-understand quests. The Land of Shadow from the DLC is filled with quest-giving NPCs known for their love of the demigod Miquella, and they too are no different. One of these is known as Needle Knight Leda. Luckily, we've broken down where to find her and how to complete her quest.

Do you have more questions about Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree? We don't blame you. To complete Leda's quest, you'll have to get past some incredibly powerful foes; thus, you better make sure you have one of the best Elden Ring builds. Also, you should double check all Scadutree Fragment locations, as these rare items are the single most important thing for surviving the Land of Shadow.

zenless zone zero rina

A new trailer for Zenless Zone Zero is out, focusing on Rina. As a reminder, Rina, or Alexandrina Sebastiane, is a member of Victoria Housekeeping.

You can watch the Rina Zenless Zone Zero trailer:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUEUNAzts-0

It's also available in Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

The trailer stats with a scared-looking Bangboo wandering around a facility before Rina informs it of how it's in a forbidden area. As she lists off the rules about the area, she scares it so much that it passes out. Then, it shows off how Rina fights by puppeteering two little robots. It then ends with her acting like a normal maid to the Bangboo. However, despite her profession, she's a horrible cook.

Like other members of the Victoria Housekeeping faction, Rina is based on a combination between a normal housekeeper and a Western horror trope. In Rina's case, she appears to be a combination of ghosts and the idea of haunted puppets. Other members of Victoria Housekeeping include Corin, Ellen, and Von Lycaon. Of the housekeepers within this faction, it seems that Ellen is the only one who's willing to give Rina's cooking a try.

Zenless Zone Zero will come out on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices from July 4, 2024.

I Enjoyed Astrune Academy More Because of the Pay-to-Play Remnants Kemco JRPG

The thing about some of the Kemco RPGs that started out as mobile titles is that standard and premium versions tend to exist. The difference? You can pay to get bonuses from a season pass, access to some "cheats," or other extras that might streamline the experience. This is the case of Astrune Academy, which started out in that fashion, before heading to platforms like the Switch for a paid fee. The thing is, these extra optional effects helped me enjoy it more than I expected. 

The premise behind Astrune Academy is that a number of young heroines named Elnatt, Mimosa, and Spica, are attending the academy mentioned in the title to develop their abilities. Because of certain circumstances regarding Elnatt transforming into a demon when she uses magic and instances, ones from different classes are all working together under the supervision of a professor named Sirius. Additional happenstances lead to Snow, another young sorceress, also joining the party. It ends up being a pretty typical JRPG romp. If you enjoy past Kemco and EXE Create RPGs, you know what you're getting.

What I appreciated was how while the elements you can tell were present in the original free version can be obvious, it is very easy to either take advantage of them or ignore them. I mean, yes, you'll see the exclamation marks in the in-game menu screaming you have unclaimed rewards or daily roulette spins available, but you don't have to go for any of them. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1A06WuTuSw&ab_channel=KEMCO

Of course, I did. I'm old. I play multiple games at a time for work. I like an occasional Kemco because they amuse me. I'm not above accepting a bonus if it helps me skip a little level-grinding. I'd take part in the daily roulette, since the bonuses there would help with character growth or would give me Star Stones for the other "paid" or "cheat" elements. When I managed to get the Meteor Prize of 300 Star Stones the first time, I invested in the MP Full Recovery Secret Room item. The second time it came around, I'd gotten enough stones from taking part in battles and accomplishing Missions (things you would normally do in the game) to pay for the Premium Pass. That unlocked bonuses and another Ice Spirit to use as a summon. 

The thing about it is that it also paired well with other quality of life features. You can speed up battles and turn on auto-battle. You can turn up your walking speed. There's fast travel via standard methods and a "local warping" that lets you set one spot as a designated area. Before you head out into the world map for the first time, you get one pendant that greatly increases the encounter rate and another that eliminates them completely. 

All of this means that Astrune Academy ends up being sort of my convenient Kemco JRPG for when I want something mostly lighthearted and not too complex. I have the option of making it easier on myself, thanks to the Switch paid version offering all these means of taking advantage of past additions. There's little to no stress on my part, and it makes it easier to enjoy the adventures of magical girls attempting to learn and do their best to help themselves and other people.

Astrune Academy is available on the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile devices.

https://twitter.com/poke_times/status/1804016424555315327

The Morelull lamp from the Pokemon Center is life-sized. So if you decorate your room with them, it feels like you have Morelulls in reality. You'll be able to buy it from the online store from June 27, 2024. Meanwhile, the physical stores will have them from June 29, 2024. The Morelull Pokemon lights cost 13,200 JPY each, which is around $82.65.

Morelull is a Grass/Fairy type Pokemon that debuted in Generation VII, which was Pokemon Sun and Moon. It evolves into Shiinotic from level 24. Morelull looks like a little cluster of bioluminescent mushrooms. When it evolves into Shiinotic, its multiple mushrooms merge together to turn into one giant mushroom.

While the Morelull light is cute enough for a kid's room, its pricing might make it more suitable for an adult collector. Some other Pokemon goods from Japan suited for an older audience include kitchenware and household items based on Pokemon Concierge. Japanese snacks (kyogashi) based on Pokemon are also available from Kanshundo.

The Pokemon motion sensor LED Morelull lights will be available in Japan from June 27, 2024.

Seto Kaiba rips the fourth Blue Eyes card

Seto Kaiba is undeniably the coolest character in the Yu-Gi-Oh anime. In fact, he stands out not only in that series, but also among all anime rivals in general. This is all because while he may seem like a simple character at first, he's actually quite layered.

Editor's Note: There are be Seto Kaiba Yu-Gi-Oh anime spoilers below.

What makes Kaiba so remarkable is his unwavering dedication to becoming the best at a card game. Going so far as ignoring the larger, fantastical conflicts surrounding him, he's focused in a way you can appreciate. While the other characters grapple with ancient pharaohs and dark shadow magic, Kaiba remains pretty much focused on Duel Monsters. His indifference to the absurdly world-ending calamities around him is genuinely refreshing. He acknowledges the craziness is happening, and he just doesn't care. The guy just wants to shuffle up and play some cards.

Image via Gallop

But it makes sense. Seto Kaiba's backstory in Yu-Gi-Oh adds depth to his character. As an orphan, he used his intelligence and skill at chess to secure his adoption by Gozaburo Kaiba. To Kaiba, this was effectively winning his freedom through sheer intellect and skill. This victory set the tone for his life, where mastering games became his path to success.

Kaiba's intense need to win is not just driven by ego, but by the understanding that winning is the only way he knows to move forward. His life has always been a series of high-stakes games. Victory is his means of survival and progression. This is why he needs to beat Yugi Muto.

Muto is not only Kaiba's first loss, but he also can't understand losing to a duelist he should beat on paper. Of course, it helps that Muto has an ancient pharaoh who is, like, stupid good at card games playing for him. Kaiba does it all on his own, like everything in his life. I mean, I know the point is that he needs to allow others to help him to be better. That's his whole Battle City arc. Still, if I was Kaiba, I'd be mad about it too.

Image via Gallop

Kaiba's softer side is most evident in his relationship with his brother, Mokuba. During the Duelist Kingdom arc, Kaiba's usually unyielding demeanor shifts when Pegasus captures Mokuba. For once, winning and pride aren't the only reason he's playing. To save Mokuba, Kaiba swallows his pride and faces Muto, needing to defeat him to challenge Pegasus.

Despite summoning the formidable Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Kaiba is on the brink of defeat. In a dramatic moment, Kaiba threatens to jump off a ledge if Muto attacks, manipulating his opponent into forfeiting the duel. Unlike many adversaries in the series who cheat to win, Kaiba doesn't feel like the win counts. This was a desperate bid to save his brother by sacrificing his integrity. It is a defining moment that showcases his depth and complexity.

Image via Gallop

Kaiba's one-liners and ruthless wit are another highlight. His verbal sparring, especially with Joey Wheeler, is legendary. Although to be fair, at least early in the show, he really is a third rate duelist with a fourth rate deck.

Seto Kaiba's unwavering dedication to being the best duelist, his complex backstory, and his sharp wit make him the standout character in Yu-Gi-Oh! His ability to remain focused on his goals, even amidst the chaos of ancient magic and world-threatening stakes, is what sets him apart and cements his status as the coolest character in the series.

Yu-Gi-Oh! is currently streaming on Hulu and Crunchyroll.

     How To Use Iris Of Occultation And Grace In Elden Ring Sote Featured ImageLike most FromSoftware DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree places you in a completely new area with new items to acquire. There's even an all-new leveling system that only works within the new Shadow Realm. With all this in mind, we will scour the latest map and figure out how to use Iris of Occultation and Grace in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree. Where to use Iris of Occultation and Grace in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Image: PC Invasion If you've been running around Elden Ring SotE with both/either of these items, you'll more than likely have discovered one place you can use them. Both the Iris of Occultation and Grace can be used at the same two NPCs and reward you with different items depending on the item and the NPC you give it to. And while you are technically able to just use both of these items, make sure you do not use these items on yourself. So if you happen to have one or both of these items, there are two NPCs you'll be able to give them ...

     How to Acquire 10 Accolades in FortniteFortnite challenges are usually pretty straightforward, but a few are rather obtuse. With this in mind, let me explain what Accolades are in Fortnite and how to acquire 10 of them. What are Accolades in Fortnite? Accolades are like mini feats or accomplishments you can obtain through regular gameplay. If you're reading this guide, you're likely trying to get 10 Accolades for the Fortnite Reload challenge. You'll complete the challenge just by playing the game, but you can also plan ahead by checking the Accolade list. Screenshot: PC Invasion If you want to view Accolades, scroll over to the Quests section of the main menu and choose Collections at the top. You can check the map, any characters, and the Accolade menu from here. There are well over 100 Accolades to unlock, and each one gives 1000XP when you earn them for the first time. Honestly, 1000XP is a paltry amount, but it's better than nothing. Make sure you don't mistake Accolades ...
