I STILL LOVE TRIGUN!!!!!!!!!

Just saw a post saying there was no point in Hera wearing that wedding dress when she confronted Wulf.

There was every point.

A major part of Wulf's motive was vengeance for not only his father's death, but Hera's "arrogance" in rejecting him. His father's death and Hera's rejection were intertwined in his head, the anger for one fuelled the anger for the other.

Wulf had no reason to duel Hera, except for vengeance.

Hera needed to make Wulf make a bad decision, and to do that she needed to push all his triggers. She needed to get his anger levels rocketing up to one hundred.

And how was she going to do that?

By riding up to him in a fucking wedding dress.

The minute he saw her in that dress, he was spitting vinegar.

Hera knew Wulf's motivations, knew his flaws, and knew the best way of making him make a bad decision, and she acted on that.

Oh no, something happened, and certain Shen Gong Wus have been scattered into the past! The Xiaolin monks (and Jack) must retrieve the Wus without disrupting the timeline. One of the Wus happened to be in the Chinese Emperor's palace! How are they going to manage to get it back? *insert Mulan concubine palace infiltration scene*

Nah, I just wanted to see (older) Jack with traditional Chinese makeup lol

I always found it funny that the pale skin that supposedly makes Jack 'creepy' and 'abnormal' for fitting into the western goth aesthetic is widely considered beautiful in East Asian culture. And the color red, like his hair and eyes, signifies good fortune, luck, and prosperity.
