No, I killed them with a wooden sword, actually.

Is it just me, or would anyone else like to see Kuroi vs. "Twilight" Suzuka.
I was picturing him as Miyamoto Musashi.

So do I.

I really think that, if beings in the far future encounter records of this thread, at least some of them will form a religion that worships Kuroimaken the Wrathful God of Not-To-Be-Fuckedwithness.

Seriously. (OK, probably with better-sounding wording, but you get the picture.)

..."beings in the far future"?  I already have a shrine to the great kami of invulnerability.

Well, I was going to start crafting the magnificent story-prison now, to steal all of Kuro's invulnerable might for myself, but yeah, beings in the far future...

No no no no.

Every time I try to take a picture of it, the camera explodes.

Small addition, but while we're at it...

So I'm at the movies watching The Dark Knight Rises, right? And suddenly I notice there's a firefly lounging around near the ceiling for whatever reason. I hadn't seen a firefly since I was... 8, I think.

Anyway, I get curious, so I decided to stick out my hand and index fingertip straight up. I'm in the last row so it doesn't get in anyone's way. It takes a while, but the firefly slowly drifts towards my fingertip, lands there, and just stays there watching the movie with me. Or at least it was facing in the right direction.

Where'd you get that quote from?  :lol

It's funny though, because I'm not overly fond of animals. I find puppies and kittens as cute as the next guy, but for me the ideal pet would be kinda like a Pokémon: it produces no waste, doesn't smell bad and comes to you only when you want it to. Plus, y'know, in a pinch you have your own pet-powered generator or something.

You want a cat >^.^<
Though they generally come to you when they want to... Outdoor type cats generally leave you with no mess to clean and they smell fine.

It's a corruption of Bane's line: "This is the instrument of your liberation."

In case you've forgotten...

Also, that actually is a spoiler for the movie, so don't click if you haven't seen it.

I live in the tenth story of an apartment. It'd have to be a FLYING cat.

The terminal velocity of some cats is lower than the speed required to kill them...

Here's a little something, Kuro can hand to the
next potential GF ... to head off any uncertainties.

2007 actually.

I've met plenty of women who are
absolutely sure they can have it all.
Then real life happens.
(as a side issue -- I'm more of a handful than clark kent)

But this thread is about Kuro.
Can't you just Diplo(ro-)mance your next GF ?!

As I recall, that's how I obtained my last one.

Not that there's been a slew of them or anything. I'm a bit picky...
