I'll Be Immortal! Like An Evil Jesus

The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies.

im so masochistic its terrible i cried while drawing this omg

- never take from ‘mom and pop’ type store. Its likely you’ll actually harm them, whereas taking from a walmart wont effect much.

- never take items that a worker is assigned to monitor (usually super expensive items), theyll be in trouble for it. and its usually a minimum wage worker and usually they lose hours or pay, or they even get fired.

- similar to the above, never take things that are usually locked up for the above reason

- if its a store you know gives their near-expiration products to workers/charity, try to avoid taking the near expiration products.

- if youre taking clothing, avoid leaving hangers. it sounds weird, but itll make it seem like it was more likely an error in the computer than a theft, since the empty hanger sitting there will seem suspicious. 

- also for clothing, try not to take more than one item at once, as it will look suspicious if theres 10 medium shirts missing, and it won’t be written off as just a stocking error. and it will lead to workers being penalized

- basically just always consider ‘will this harm a worker’ and if the answer is yes then dont do it

Sure!

In Japan, Wreck-It Ralph was marketed much differently than it was in the US — because of its subject matter, it was anticipated to be highly popular with Japanese audiences, and obviously several of the settings and characters in the film were inspired by Japanese game aesthetics to begin with. The movie was retitled to “Sugar Rush” there, and at some point, it was decided that a Sugar Rush racer based on Japanese candy should be added, mostly so they could sell merchandise of her later. And thus, Minty Sakura was born:

Her whole existence is really confusing and contradictory, and not a whole lot is known about her. As you can see, she most resembles Candlehead in design, since she’s got green hair and eyes, the same basic color scheme, and identical boots and stockings. However, she actually replaces Minty Zaki in the Japanese WIR, not Candelhead. Well…kind of.

You first see her in the scene where King Candy is explaining the rules of the Random Roster Race. In any shot where you can see all the racers, Minty Zaki appears in Minty Sakura’s place.

However, when she goes to throw in her coin during the same scene, she replaces Snowanna Rainbeau instead, and you can see Minty Zaki in the background:

This is most likely because more focus was given to Snowanna then to Minty in this part of the scene, and they wanted to showcase their replacement character. But then Ralph attacks, and in various background shots, Minty Sakura spontaneously turns back into Minty Zaki. (I can’t find a video of it at the moment, forgive me.) She also doesn’t appear at all in the kart-wrecking scene later, she’s not pictured on the Sugar Rush roster at any point, and for the rest of the movie (besides the race at the end) she just sort of randomly pops on and off.

She is, however, heavily featured in the film’s Japanese promotional material and merchandise, despite the fact that she’s about half a cameo in the movie.
