Everyone saw this coming

12:00 am
Jared has no concept of personal space.
For anyone who has not encountered the phenomena of unnecessary and confusing bishifacation in their travels, may I direct you to Club Kawaii. Or, you know, go browse deviantart for something like South Park or Ed, Edd, n’ Eddy.
….Yikes!!! What did you do to him?!
I don’t understand. Need explanation. How did he AND the clothes change?
It happened to Nier, so it’s obviously all part of the curse/infection/show.
OMG IT’S A WEREBISHIE!!! X”D
….I liked the commander better before.. :(
Bishonenthropy
…Is that Kamina sunglasses??
No, they’re Dirk sunglasses.
They are Dirkmina Sunglasses.
They fused into a hybrid creature that drives a phallicly symbolic puppet mecha with a fine plush rump drill
But only ironically, the HIPSTEEEERRRRR.
@Coelasquid Thank you for pointing me to Club Kawaii. Seriously. I nearly threw up.
Seconded. Though I will add that if you go far enough down the CK page you’ll eventually find a reblogged post from someone who tears CK apart that’s kind of funny.
Take my internets, good sir! Whether Kamina’s or Dirk’s, the glasses are awesome and shall probably go some way to counteracting the bishy curse, sacrificing themselves in the process.
Or maybe Jared gets to keep them. That would be cool, especially if Dirk-bots inside them…
but dirks were BASED on kaminas…
I was thinking the glasses were more Terezi Pyrope-like in nature, but eh, they’re all similar.
It keeps happening?
Kamina sunglasses would be twice as long, and orange… though I suppose red fits the Commander’s theme, and they’re proportionately long enough for his face. Nice work.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- *breaks*
I agree, and I will now add my own little thing to it…
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-!!!!!!!!!
WHAT DID YOU DO TO COMMANDER?!? I SERIOUSLY THOUGHT THAT WAS SOMEONE ELSE, I DID A FREAKING DOUBLE-TAKE: I NEVER DO DOUBLE-TAKES!!! *stumbeles back*…I wonder what Gannondorf will look like. *thinks for a moment* D8} oh god,OH god, OHGOD,OHGOD,OH-GODS!!! *Starts trolling*
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even Mr. Fish is surprised!
Oh dear, this is gonna be a problem, it’s spreading!
And I loled at the Kamina glasses. And at the expression on Mr. Fish’s face in the second-to-last panel. You know things are bad if Mr. Fish is letting it show! :D
Amazing how a slight increase in the eye diameter can cause such a reaction, but I laughed so much too! Sign of a good artist I guess (=
He still manages to mantain some vestige of manliness.
I think it’s the massive glasses and sideburns, without the sideburns he would be pure bishie, but the sidebiurns, nothing gets rid of sideburns.
There are really only two reasons how he is able to hold onto his manliness.
A. Because he was so manly before the process, he managed to survive
B. Squid just couldn’t bring herself to do further damage
So did I, though Commander Bishie is a terrifying sight to behold!
He almost seems like Commander BOWIE to me.
*Wonders if he’ll break into song at some point*
Or have a ridiculous crotch bulge… *goes and prays*
Notice werebishie-Commander gets cut off right at waist level?
…I approve of the direction this conversation is going.
seconded.
I KNEW it! David Bowie’s hair on Commander BISHIE!! XD
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Curse of the were-bishounen! EVERYBODY RUN!
I really didn’t think that you’d go there. But if anybody was going to draw the Commander like… this, I’m glad that it was his creator.
Better she draw it now than some nerd on the internet doing it later.
Wait ’til someone gets around to drawing rule 63 Commander.
(Gender-Swap.)
I’m wonder if this will change his weapons as well….
Is Jared already bishi or does he walk the line between worlds? I only ask because of the whole living in the Pokemon world thing.
I think Jared is not bishie. He’s suppose to be an unkempt teenage boy…
Let me re-phrase. What if that IS the bishi/pretty boy version of Jared? What would Jared look like un-pretty-boyed? My mind wanders to odd places and I could be way off base but it’s just one line of thinking. The other being that if he is regular style(?) what does bishi Jared look like?
Bishie Jared would look like Not Jared :C
Unless he already is bishie and the non-bishie version of Jared looks more like comic book guy from the simson.
Oh, i’ve wasted my life.
How so?
obscure comic book guy qoute from simpsons. thats all that was.
Bishie Jared would be an uke. Definitely.
I imagine him as like, Hunny-from-Ouran level small and cute and shit.
Yeah. I would LIKE to see that. I can imagine the Rule63’d version of Commander is a:
– Blondie with long smooth hair
– Double D sized pair of rack
– Most likely similar to a Dominatrix
– Of course, got a beautiful nose & complete teeth
…Am i requesting something?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- *breaks again*
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
(flailing his hand at George Lucas and Bish*whateveritis) What did you do?
Jared’s facial expression @ Commander (is it bad that I thought that was a genderbent time-traveling Commander in the last panel at first?) = priceless.
…Not just Jared’s fave.. Look at Mr. Fish…
On another note.. Cammander’s Chest Hair is gone..
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- *yep, still broken*
Even better – Mister Fish‘s face.
I AGREE COMPLETELY. And although Mr. Fish’s face is funny, I’m just happy that he made a face at all. I still think Jared’s face is funnier.
I swear, A)The Commander’s eye color chanced to purple. And B) this must’ve happened only seconds after the Commander says: What r u lookin’ at?
So it goes like this…
Jared pulls out a cell phone and takes a pic of Commander.
Commander; What are you doing?
Jared shows him the pic.
Comannder; 8( *begins looking from the photo, to Jared,and back again…
D8{ FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-!!!!
Okay. You wont stop staring! I’m leavin’! Bzzzzzz!
*yelling into mic* Commercial! COMMERCIAL!
*hugs you for the reference*
Oh gah now I can’t stop picturing BishiCommander screaming like Ruby . . . what have you done to my brain . . . *shudder*
But on the other hand, this reference nearly had me in stitches laughing, so it was worth it.
Eeeeeeeeeh! *flails arms* That is so weird and wrong and gneeeeeeeh!!! I hope horror is the proper reaction here. Also, I am deeply intrigued by this arc.
Of course, if he were really a pretty-boy JRPG protagonist, he wouldn’t be wearing that getup. That particular sort of outfit is typically reserved for the ambiguously gay comic relief sidekick.
In JRPG-fandom, no one is ambiguously gay. There’s “Gay”, “Closeted” and “zomgewww macho!”.
Seriously, do you know how hard it is to find a fanfic where the characters are straight (without that being for the sake of a random herd of Mary Sues)? XD
Sure, but that’s not unique to JRPG fanfic. Everybody is gay for everybody in fanfic.
Except for canon female love interests, who are straight, petty, stupid, and catty.
no, no… they’re gay too… for each other… >.< its severely depressing.
Worst part is the zomgewww macho in JRPGs is generally regarded by canon to be the homosexual.
Japan.
By this logic, somewhere, somehow, there’s a Japanese person saying the exact same thing only with the J substituted for an A.
Actually, you switch it around.
“Worst part is the zomgewww prettyboys in JRPGs are generally regarded by Americans to be homosexual.
America.”
Excessively masculine traits and muscle are considered to be signs of homosexuality there (as regarded by men, y’know).
Still, I regretted that comment 3 seconds after postin’ it.
This . . . explains so much . . . that I was afraid to know . . .
Oh god. What if he gets to the rest of the Manly Guys…!?
Not only could he spread the plague to the others there but he also has the capacity of time-travel which could make spreading it exponentially worse.
Bishi Duke. We NEED this. I’ll run the risk of massive internal injury caused by the uncontrollable laughing for it.
I hope you mean Duke Devlin, ‘cos ain’t nobody be messin with Nukem!
Then again…if it were Devlin, or any YuGiOh guy, it’d have to be bishie-to-macho and not macho-to-bishie. There are no machos in YuGiOh. It’s the only show where a character’s level of villainy is judged by how gay they look.
Uhm, Rafael? Has biceps the size of Yugi’s head?
He wasn’t really villainous in the end. But he did wear very tight clothing…
Sure, Rafael wasn’t villainous in the end– but he kinda negates the “No Machos in YuGiOh” thing rather sharply.
(For that matter, even Yami Bakura has his Freudian excuse.)
Eh, hard to think of anyone in that series really being truly gay; they were all married to the cards.
You may be on to something there Loppy… if during the course of the were-bishie arc they come across a Bishie antidote… Just think of the posibilities…
I can almost guarantee that good ol’ G might wind up using it on Link (considering how often the poor sod gets picked on for hilarity (which I do find hilarious, especially the constipated-consternation face link makes))
That aside, antidote-bomb the office upstairs (fourth floor if memory serves from the Kamina strip…) and watch the manliness spew forth like a second plague (and hear a collective cry of anguish from Japan as it’s Bishies are replaced by macho-men)
Could you imagine what it would do to Poison?
You know, a scary thought just crossed my mind. what if coela does fansub for yuri and has the antidote be two hot bishies making out?
(shudder)
(slightly interested)
It’s happened. Watch Fight Club. This is Bob…..
Oh i’ve seen both fight club and rocky horror picture so don’t tell ME how awesome meatloafs roles in movies are :p
Except for Bandit Keith, you’re right.
Ahaha, Bandit Keith; the Japanese view of macho Americanism. In a lot of ways, Keith may actually like the Commander. Not sure if the respect would be mutual though . . .
I would probably pull a muscle laughing if we got Bishounen Kratos and Bishounen Leonidas.
“YOU LOOK LIKE A WOMAN” “YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO SPARTA”
End of the universe if that happens, Spartan Chicken will never end.
I think I’d join you in the muscle pulling if we did get that!
Gay chicken gets all the harder when your opponent has soft, womanly skin you want to stroke-excuse me for a minute
Oh good god damn you, why did you have to hell-raiser the question of a bishounen gay chicken? I’m MALE godamnit, i can only handle so much estrogen. And this is after countless attempts by a friend to introduce me to naruto/onepiece/yu-gi-oh/abridged. Kikashi as david bowie was bad enough, but threesome no jitsu? i don’t even think i’m supposed to be here ..
and by that i mean where some of this audience is going ..
I… I was not prepared. I still am not.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- *okay, I need to go away now…*
And now I’m imagining Jared as a bishounen-looking nerd. Wow.
bishounerd?
…Otacon?
“Commander… there’s something I’ve really gotta ask you. It’s why I followed you up this far… have you ever… loved someone?”
“That’s what you came to ask?”
“No, I mean… I… I was wondering if even soldiers fall in love.”
“What are you trying to say?”
“I wanna ask you… do you think love can bloom, even on a non-descript space future battlefield?”
“Yeah…. I do. I think at any time, at any place, people can fall in love with each other. But… if you love someone, you have to be able to protect them from space commies.”
“I think so too.”
~D.
I honestly cringed a bit reading that ahah.
I hated it that game got too soft sometimes, but its still one of my favorite series ever!
I dare to ask… who is talking to Commander, ’cause I have a hard time imagining Jared talking like that (Despite his infatuation with the kitten-ey felt-based porcelain faced Commander)
And Jonsey isn’t the committed type (If I remember the valentines day strip correctly) so it’s unlikely to be her.
Now Canada Guy or G might be funny, but then it would quickly spin into uncomfortable laughter, you know, the kind that signals that both parties want to quickly forget the whole conversation and move on with their independent lives as far from the other as possible until there’s a decent amount of fog over that memory.
It’s a reference to Metal Gear Solid, where Otacon asks Snake the same question. (He’s not asking about Snake personally, it’s more of asking his opinion on the matter.)
If you have a hard time imagining Jared talking like that then the reality of that line in Solid Snake’s voice may well blow your mind.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alVrcybgezs
Dear god why… just… why…
I’m no MGS fan but… at least I had some respect for snake as a dude who could kick giant robot ass with nothing more than a pack of cigs and a tranq gun…
The last paragraph there was the funniest thing I’ve read in ages.
Oh dear.
This is going to take a lot of alcohol and fists to fix.
ok that’s legitimately funny, as someone who doesn’t play video games, but who read up on the punchline for last week, this took me totally by surprise and i loved it.
Or Slash-Line…
Eh?
Eh??
Aw come on! I’m sure someone’s laughing out there!
…I am, even though it’s a bit late XD
I love Mr. Fish’s expression in the second to last panel.
Also: *GASP!* Plot! 8D
Well, I probably SHOULD have seen this coming, but it still hit like a ton of bricks. A ton of mildly unsettling yet very funny bricks.
*wide, horrified eyes*
…
…MEDIC!!!!!!!
State the nature of your medical emergency.
Uh yeah I don’t know how to describe this but ome anime character scratched me and then I lost all sense of machismo and al my muscles.
Do you still have chest hair?
No.
Oh god this is serious we wil send an ambulance right away.
Two shots of testosterone and one of human growth hormone STAT!
(And maybe 32 ounces of kobe beef)
Nah, too upscale. What he needs is HAMBURGER.
to be exact he needs this burger http://cardboardshell.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/lobbys-burger.jpg
With Bacon.
That burger needs bacon to truly be the cure.
This better? http://www.11heures11.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/tall-hamburger-3.jpg
Gentlemen you are thinking too small.
http://static.fjcdn.com/pictures/Bacon_2f02f9_2659384.jpg
http://jlandl.blogspot.com/2011/01/guinness-book-of-world-records-you-wish.html
THIS is a burger. The world’s largest hamburger to be exact.
Jeez! I can hear my arteries hardening already.
yeah i think that will do
Lil bit o’ hot sauce and tequila, then we’re good.
(whew) crisis averted.
Bah, that’s not a burger… Blondies has a 9 Lb Burger AFTER cooking (Don’t have a pic, sorry) The damn thing nearly takes up the whole table and takes several fluffy folks to actually finish!
Custom buns are made for the thing too!
Lindys really only serves normal sized burgers. Although they stack them high like in the picture i posted. but normal ones can be prett huge. my favorite burger is. built like this. bottom bun. 1/2 lb burger. chedder cheese. two onion rings. 3 slices of bacon. bbq sauce. another burger. more cheese. 2 more rings. 3 more bacon slices. more sauce and then top bun for about 5 bucks
call me french and whatnot but i hate ONIONS unless they are sauteed.
Then they are pure awesomesauce.
Sauteed onions and bacon and ranch with shiitake. On a burger.
I’m a man of wealth and taste.
To tell the truth my least favorite part of the burger is the onion rings. i prefer my vegies to be crunchy
Oops! Zat was not medicine!
NONONONONOYOUPUTHIMBACK. -Gross sobbing.-
*finally stops screaming and joins Allmypanties to sob in the corner*
OH GOD MY EEEEEEEEYEESSSS!!!!
What did I just- that link.
Oh dear lord.
WTF did commander turned into? No just…No.
I usually have no problem when people take an American cartoon and draw them in manga style, as long as it is true to the character, that is just changing them from one style to the other without major changes but this and the link to Club Kawaii…Bishounen Spongebob…*shudders*
I confess, when I got out of bed today, I never expected to see the words “bishounen” and “Spongebob” together in a sentence. I wouldn’t have thought you COULD get those words together in a sentence. Somehow you’d think they’d… repel each other, somehow, pushing each other clean into separate paragraphs. Or pages.
And yet…. there they are…
let me condense like campbells soup. spongebob. for you.
jellybish. and where do human usage sponges usually go? .. up between the legs and inner torso ..
I’m terribly frightened by the implications here…
This. This is amazing in all the wrong ways.
I like how he gets paler too.
I love bishounen…but ye gods, DA. Everything doesn’t need to be bishified.
AHAHAHAHAH
Oh man and it’s not even the full moon
….Damn, now I want to play Pandemic 2 and make a virus called “Bishonen”
FINALLY! When we play pandemic it’s usually Vampirism, Lycanthropy, Rage Virus, and ______, because we can never come with a good 4th. NOW WE HAVE ONE.
Iunno, I usually make up random gobbledygoop for names, but then again, real virus names have no bearing on what they actually do (what comes to mind when you think Rhinovirus?)
The must be contained! We must call… THE A-TEAM!
No! God, no! What if it spreads to them TOO?!
B.A. baracus will stay relatively similar but the rest are screwed
Oh my god, Bishi Faceman! No womans panties would be safe!
They’re not safe now…
Well, if they got infected, we’d have to change their name to the (g)A(y)-team. So, no. No thank you. And how exactly would a bishie face work? Thats just frightening.Would he go so radically far into attractiveness he’d be fired out the opposite side and actually become manly? The only good thing about this idea is that no matter what happened to murdock, it would be hilarious. Maybe rescuing the team via helicopter while wearing a white wedding dress and screaming “COME ON, THERE’S A SALE AT MACYS”!
That last image you threw out there just fractured a few of my ribs, I’m pretty sure. THANK YOU.
You know what’s weird? About a month ago, I thought about giving you some sarcastic fanart of a bishie commander.
I never finished because I’m lazy, plus I didn’t know if you’d like it. :(
Ahahaha, I like to see just about any kind of fanart. One of my friends drew Commander making out with Sten and it was hi-larioussssss
…Is there a link anywhere to said picture?
For…for educational purposes
Can… can we get a link to that? 8D;
No! Stop! Not Sten too, not him too! D:
*Didn’t even play the game where Sten is, just likes the character based on this comic.*
Is Sten even biologically able to be Bishified?
He is a different species after all, and apparently all males of Sten’s species are incredibly buff with a tendency to wear no shirts, but that may just be the soldiers we’ve seen so far.
You’re obviously new to the internet. It’s okay. We understand.
No matter how manly/macho a character is, someone WILL eventually make them pretty and/or bishified, even if it makes no sense (like Coela said, the South Park boys, for example)
I, for one, do not condone of this. It makes me a sad Joe.
Just new to the Bishiness
People draw Optimus Prime with a pregnant belly. Optimus has apparently been impregnated by Megatron.
If that is possible in some peoples’ imaginations, then everything is possible.
Then apparently megatron has “the touch”
…but not the power?
She didn’t say he was bishified though, just making out with the commander. They can still be manly while doing that
Then I may yet surprise you, kind lady.
NOOOOOO!!!!!! COMMANDER!!!!!!! D:
SUMMON VAN HELSING! WE MUST HUNT THE BEAST TO SAVE THE COMMANDER!
That movie sucked and he turned into one at the end.
Do not call Van Helsing
I think he meant Abraham van Helsing from the Dracula story. Not Van Helsing who is hinted at being Gabriel…which that movie could have been better.
I think “the prophecy” did gabriel best, for the sheer fact of cowbell and christopher walken. because, one cannot seperate the two.
What this one said.^
By “This One” I was referring to Mifune. Seriously, Abraham Van Helsing is the only one who can save the Commander now.
NOOO! Don’t summon Van Helsing! He’d just be turned into one of the Belmonts, lithe and silver-haired!
Oh god… it finally happened… Jared is the most manly guy in the room…
You’re ruling out Mr. Fish!
Not really, Mr. Fish is still in the room.
*And now the sobs have turned into stunned silence… thanks for that.*
My brain just imploded. I can gloss over a lot of “bishi’ed” stuff but a Bish Commander? It’s just so wrong…like a pro-Hitler rant or diet water.
What’s wrong with Hitler? His refusal to conform lead to a stark revival of oil-on-canvas pai… Oh, wait, wrong timeline.
Sorry!
There’s only one thing to do.
Infect Mr. Fish and see what happens.
He’ll become a Milotic.
Give that person a prize, they just won at the internet!
What happens to Mr. Fish is the one thing missing on that there list of unsettling DeviantArt searches: “Gyarados gijinka”. http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=Gyarados+gijinka
You’re welcome.I’m so sorry.(secretly: not very sorry at all)That’s why, some five years ago when I tried my hand at gijinka, I just made them all appropriately weird looking.
Oh my god little Gengar dude I love it
Gyarados gengar golem am I right?
*Okay folks, the road to recovery has begun, thanks for watching*
It looks like, doing the general search, a lot of people were trying to make these into softcore porn. Oh, and Commander Bishie looks like a lesbian I know when she does her male impersonation bit, lol.
A Bishonen Gyarados?
http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Seiryu
The humanoid avatar of Seiryu from Fushigi Yugi is about as close to a bishi Gyarados I can think of.
looks like a rip off of the eternal dragon. run shenron!
Actually, it’s the other way around.
They all derive from the classical Eastern depiction dragons. If anyone is ripping off anything, all animes are ripping off 19th century woodcuts.
:’D Gosh, the huge laughter cleared my sore throat just right. Maybe everybody saw that coming, but the deliverance… Now it will be even more anxious to wait for the next Monday! I can’t wait to see how commander reacts when he sees himself in the mirror :—————DD
How I understand you on this one… Just can’t wait.
Oh my gosh, so much bishification… I was hardly a fan of bishies myself.
But I wonder; can Jared be infected by this? He’s not exactly a manly man, and he doesn’t seem susceptible to this new disease. Perhaps that’s a plot point?
Jared is already a bishounen, he’s just one that doesn’t know how to use make-up, styling gel, conditioner, a shower, etc.
This…I…what?
Worst Case Scenario: This is the new direction Coelsquid is going and we are all doomed.
Hoped for Scenario: At least Jared gets infected before the cure is found just cause I wonder how that’ll look or if it’ll affect him at all and then OH GOD HE’D BE THE KEY TO THE CURE.
Nah I think we’re safe from that, Coelasqiud would never do that. Worst case scenario we get the S.T.A.R.S. dragged into it to fight back against the the bishounen.
That might just be crazy enough to work.
But id call Batman
NO, YOU FOOL!
BISHI BATMAN MIGHT BE TOLERABLE, BUT THEN HE BECOMES A PLAGUE VECTOR! IF HE GETS TO CLOSE TO ARKHAM ASYLUM…. GOD HELP US ALL
~D.
I blame you for the fact that I am now trying to imagine a bishi!Two Face. And a bishi!Joker. And a bishi!Nightwing- oh wait, he’s exactly the same. Nm
No. imagine a bishie robin. IF you can. Then try to juxtapose batman and robins relationship. I do not need to see that one either.
Bishie Killer Croc, that is all.
This one is floating in the air for soooo very long, it’s really not shocking. Seriously, just watch the one episode of the 60’s series, it’s hard to think otherwise with “mild-mannered Batman”…
Coela dislikes bishies, she’s told us as much. I’m excited to see how the plotline plays out, though.
Worse Case Scenarios don’t need to be likely or probable. Just Worst.
Example of this happening in a comic: http://guildedage.net/webcomic/chapter-8/guest-page-angry-buddha-chibi-x/
COMMANDER NOOOOOOOO!
Wow :D
Bishi commander stole glasses from Kamina and outfit from Dante!
Coelasquid, I just want to tell you <3
Houston, we have a problem.
Lol loving that this bit has a story with it. Wonder what will Jonesy will say… or his kids… or his EX! Hah and since this is the commander, I wonder if his future/past self will come back/forward just to punch himself in the face.
Or even better, his past/future self will arrive and punch the bishie out of him!
KAMINA-GLASSES! *Is a happy reader.*
No, I am most definitely not a fan of the glasses rather than the character, what are you talking about?But ye gods. It took me a good three minutes for the punchline to kick in because I couldn’t grasp the idea that that was a ~*~bishiiiie~*~ Commander.
…I’m scared now.
Don’t worry, you’re not alone in the world. This club has t-shirts!
It’s fine to be a fan of the glasses rather than Kamina.
After all, Calvin made them awesome pretty much a decade earlier.
http://i35.tinypic.com/25roxup.jpg
~D.
No one else ever remembers that particular strip. Thank you for reminding me *goes to dig out Calvin and Hobbes collection*
And true punkers in the UK (and that weird, real life thing) even decades before that. I’m claiming lazy in the name of america though, and not bothering to find piclinkage.
Predictions. As what I will from hereon refer to as the B-Virus (despite obvious discrepancies between Nier’s obvious werewolf parallels and the T-Virus being a zombie virus) continues to spread through the Manly Guys cast, Jared and possibly Jonesy will have to work together to find a cure and/or stop Nier. I swear to God I about died when I saw the Commander in the last panel.
And alas, he reminds me of Travis Touchdown.
Now that you mention it, I do get a “rub poster inappropriately and turn to the camera saying MOE~” vibe.
This is not good.
…. there are no words to describe just how funny I found this… You my dear women have a gift, that is by far a understatement but there is nothing I could say to come close to how good your truly are.
Even Mr. Fish looks astonished at this turn of events.
Hooboy. The ones will responsible for this are going to burn. It shall be a revenge that is truly worthy of the word “epic” without having to put a dollar in the jar.
The best part is Mr. Fishy’s reaction face 8[
thats some comedic gold
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
This is worst thing to happen since that anime on G4 with bishie Wolverine! *SOB*
Just wondering…what did his skin feel like before? Sandpaper & bear fur? Also, it looks like the transformation fixed his tooth. I find that funny.
Okay to be fair to the South Park bishification fandom (that I absolutely haven’t been a part of for like five years nope not me never why would you even suggest such a thing) they’re not actually trying to make them manly at all. Manliness is actually a detriment to the overall goal, which is to render the kids as pretty teenage boys to be paired off in the gay erotica that makes up 90% of our fanfi- uhh- I mean THEIR fanfiction.. which I would never read, of course. Even if Kenny and Butters make an adorable couple. Which I wouldn’t know because why would I even think about that! HA HA.
(I expect the EEnE fanart owes its existence to much the same motives.)
And finally, Mr. Fish’s eye actually focuses on something.
Saw that coming.
And yet I did nothing to prevent it. Why do I fear success?
OH DEAR GOD!!!
IT’S HORRIBLE!
KILL IT!!! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!!!
Oh, its flaming enough already…
You’re paying for my medical bills if I bust a rib laughing at that.
Well played, good sir/madam.
thank you sooo much for that comment.
i couldn’t breath i was laughing so much
I am without words.
Oh good lord.
You made him look like PRINCE.
Actually, to my eye, he looks more like david bowie circa early 70’s.
I was kind of … stunned. He still looks good. And, on top of that i guess bishies get wolverines healing factor because the scars are gone too in the last panel.
So as long as they can find a way to change him back, apparently everything will be fine. You know, he may even have his missing tooth back now, because a missing tooth is SOOOO not bishie.
When a were-creature changes, it heals instantly. So if you were injured as a man and changed into a wolf, you heal. If you are injured as a wolf and change into a man, you heal.
This is why it’s darn near impossible to kill a were-creature with regular damage.
Well there is that. Alas that only worked in the original black and white “wolfman”. In “wolfen” and “the howling” after you kill the wereform, and it reverts to human, the damage (bullethole, silver sword gutting, whathaveyou) is still apparent. Even Argent had that quality, and if you know who that is or what i’m talking about i give you serious props.
On a completely unrelated note, decided to download the “insidious” novel i’ve been seeing on so many adverts all over my favourite webcomics, it’s not half bad. It does borrow heavily from an older science fiction story about humanity vs. supercomputer, but damnit if i’m not drawing a blank on its title. I know dark horse did a comic remake of it though. And i just learned of “the flying guillotine” 2011. how could i miss something as awesome as this? Supposedly a faithful to the genre remake of the old school kung fu flick.
Original werewolves were killed by silver bullets.
What kills a werebishi?
A bullet made of pure American spirit.
ah-ah incorrect. didn’t the original black and white werewolf get killed by that silver tipped staff smackin his noggin or something? (i could be wrong, its been years since i last watched it) And i know of at least two werewolves killed by regular silver weaponry, ie: sword or crossbow bolts.
I don’t know about the first movie werewolf, but the werewolves from the original legends could be killed by just about anything that could kill a human. Mostly, the stories end with “and he/she was never seen again” or something of that variety, but occasionally the local villagers do kill the werewolf, and silver bullets are very rarely mentioned.
well yeah, it’s just that you need a weapon made of silver .. and that lycans are always much faster and usually better predators. an entire village taking out one with just a couple armed guards wielding silver tipped swords would work, but it would be damn bloody. and i dont know why im saying this here and now, but i expect sometime in the near future that a “cat-people” movie remake will happen. just sayin.
I am sorry I am no expert on what kills werewolves
Any weapon can kill a werwolf, but they are much tougher than your normal wolf. Also, they will heal really fast, so you cannot let them get away. You do not need any kind of special equipment, just brute strength. All of the silver stufff came from hollywood. The original mythos just had them as super tough.
bullets loaded with Jack Daniels a la Hellsing [the holy water bullets]
Mr. Fish’s last expression is the best part of this. XD Not that the rest isn’t amazing.
Poor Nier!
The Gurren Lagan glasses are a great touch!
Well, there is only one person in this comic we can look to to save all the manly characters…….
POISON.
think about it….”she”s pretty much immune. She’s friends with the Commander.
hmm…then again….Poison WAS a “bad girl” character..and the name does make the possibility of her being the SOURCE of the bishi virus kinda obvious….
If Poison (or any other woman) got hit by this she would probably turn into a super-girly nadeshiko-type with huge moe eyes and wearing only frilly dresses and making tea for everyone.
Well, if we’re going by fandom portrayal of characters,
guy = zomghawt~*~bishie~*~
girl = bitchy ugly catty icky guuuurl.
We’re doomed.
Mr. Fish’s face…
Shit’s just got real!!
I like that, when he comes back, the scratches are completely gone. First-aid kits are great.
It wasn’t the first aid kit, methinks. It was The Infection. Imperfect skin doesn’t look Pretty.
Nah, plenty of prettyboys have scars; most common ones are things like the “one right over an eye” one, but three symmetrical lines on the face, provided they don’t disfigure a major feature like reshaping the nose or something, are actually pretty common too. That is possible, though; weird anime infection is, in this universe, just as good an explanation as magical science medkits.
Or you could just watch the anime version of Wolverine marvel just slapped onto netflix.
Wolverine is supposed to be big and tough and grungy.. Not a bishi prettyboy
he’s pretty much half and half in the films
Actually, since he’s like 5’4″ in the comics, he’s not all that big. Massive, yes. But not a mountain of a man. That was the point of naming him Logan. Mt. Logan is the tallest mountain in Canada, and he was the shortest character on any team.
After seeing Bishi Wolverine . . . If I didn’t need my eyes so much I would spork them out.
Yeah, just above 5 footish. yet he weighs 300 pounds due to the adamantium. It’s what makes the fastball special so effective. Mass.
. . . Right, that’s it. I’m exterminating ALL of the Bishounen.
In 1999, the nation’s top scientists had all the Bishonen rounded up and put in secret camps. They experimented, trying to find out what caused this mutation. Many of the capture Bishonen exhibited a new awareness and super-natural abilities. Then the President gave the codeword “Ulysses” to terminate the project, but it was too late.
Unfortunately, due to a lack of a proper military budget and the backlash of secret installations/experiments, the Bishonen slipped their detainment and flooded back into Internet society. Within mere months, where there were hundreds, there are now thousands.
They called it the “Pretty Boy Epidemic.” How little did they know that it would change society. FOREVER.
You know, thems the makings of a good story right there. You should run with it.
I think it works better in snippets. A whole story is what Coela is writing.
as if the comment box could not somehow morph and become alive into its own greatest story? i disagree. and i think its why its here. someone has got to be bound to be using it.
As has been stated many times above… terrifying.
Better keep the Commander away from knives or other sharp implements, lest he try to lick them.
Oh god, a were-bishie . . .
Actually, I didn’t see that coming. Not. at. all.
Me neither.
Kill it with fire!
As aforementioned, he’s flaming quite enough, you don’t need to help him.
Rimshot
Should have read more of the comments. But that was more in reaction to the bishilinks than anything.
No I honestly did not see this coming!
Same here. o.o
Jovis son of Grud! Its the bishie zombie virus!
Just to show I got your reference; HI-EX!
…I know the intention here was to make Commander look like a massive PUFF, but the Gurren Lagann glasses confirm that he is in fact three times as manly as before.
Regardless of whatever hilariously unmanly actions he may take in preceding strips.
No exceptions!
Commander kind of looks like David Bowie. Which… doesn’t bother me as much as it should.
He did make man who sold the world and if you saw labrynth…well just watch it ok
So bishii commander is David Bowie?
I’m okay with this.
And I’m gone
Like I’m dancing on angels
And I’m gone through the crack in the past
DEAD MAN WALKING …
Which means that all attempts to cure him will probably just be putting out fire with gasoline.
This was my reaction. “Hey, what’s Ziggy doing here?”
And at the same time, I get a little queasy because for David Bowie, that’s hot. For the Commander…it’s terrifying.
Agreed. Your comment made me think about this though, what happens when a were-bishounen scratches a girl? i suspect that if it does indeed happen, poison/whatever her name from final fight will be involved. Then the shit hits the fan. And where we go next, is anybodys guess.
He reminds me of the babe.
What babe?
The babe with the power
What power?
the power of bishi-doo
Oh good lord, that is terrifying. I don’t even… Jared and Mr. Fish are absolutely priceless in that second-last panel. My brain is broken. I can’t stop grinning–my cheeks hurt. Thanks for that. xD
I literally stared screaming for like a minute after seeing Bishonin commander
</3
I thought it was just me o_o I was curled up and hugging my chair screaming
catch that nier quick! protect all the manly men! (hides Sten "I'll never let them get you!")
/motherofgod.jpg
B-But… the Kamina shades make him more manly than before…
No, more badass. But not more manly. The correlation is near-1, yes, but correlation is not causation.
Not going to lie, had a moment of terror there before I remembered that its not permanent.
… We hope.
kamina shades
kamina shades
i died
Does that your implies a bishounen change of voice…?
hmmm, good catch…
If I ever get any money I am going to commission you to draw a 1680×1050 wallpaper of Mr. Fish’s last expression.
And I will print it out.
And put on every single wall in my house.
I want to scream and laugh at the same time but I have to restrain myself from doing either since I’m in a public place right now…still…AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
ok..ok… I calmed down and took another look at this and, while I did have to blink a lot on account of my eyes being all watery, I have to say that the Commander doesn’t look all that bad. But thinking of that thing being the same Commander just doesn’t work for me. This must be fixed!
…What the hell kind of germs infect your JACKET?!!
Is it even possible to innoculate clothes and eyewear? Where do you inject the vaccine?
Same place they got the infection in the first place.
Japan?
Well glasses is just artistic license, but leather is indeed organic you know. I’m just assuming the commander can pull off wearing leather in either form.
Thats why he’s badass.
OH MY GOD THAT HAIR.
I didn’t see this coming at all.
Ohnoohnoohnoohnoohno. Jared! JARED!!!! Whatever you do, don’t sic Mr. Fishy on ANY werebishonen! He might try to eat them and they’d bite his tongue or something!!!
he’s already anime what harm could it posibly do?
Bishoujo artstyle?
The harm it could do is , only with Mr. Fish. Courtesy of Clun Kawaii. (I live in the hope that proper capitalisation might make it more bearable to utter that name.)
I hope I got that hotlink right, I suck at HTML…You know things are serious when Mr. Fish’s eyes are straight
Jared is gay. The end of this story is him jumping out of the closest. Not an insult, just is what it is.
The closest… what? Window?
Closet. I meant closet.
What brought you to this conclusion, may I ask?
Many little things over the course of the series. His want to rub the commander’s face when he started to change pushed it over the edge. I don’t get why some people like men drawn as women, but to each their own.
…Beeeeecause straight guys don’t like soft things? I mean, maybe he is. I’m not the creator of these characters, so I don’t make that call one way or the other. Just seems like an odd way to “connect the dots”. I know straight guys who like knitting and sewing and having soft things; I know gay guys who like weapons and video games and sports. I know straight guys who are pretty and skinny and well-dressed; I know gay guys who are big and unkempt and ox-like. The people I know are rarely the stereotypes of “what they are”, so for me the only real indication of sexuality is who the person dates. I hope you understand my confusion.
And yeah, I’m not much of a bishounen fan. I like men like I like my coffee: strong, sweet, freshly ground, french-pressed, in a large mug… er, wait…
oh god. i just about died, but instead i decided to comment here for the first time because that was so freakin’ great.
also: WHY DID YOU LINK TO BISHIE ED EDD AND EDDY that was mean and i can’t unsee
I nearly screamed in horror there! I am an anime fan! I never thought I’d ever find bishonen to be horrifying!
Wait a minute…
GOOD LORD! IS NIER GOING TO INFECT THE ENTIRE AGENCY WITH THE WERESHONEN SYNDROME?!
…Oh my god, a bishi Sten. A bishi Duke. A bishi…
KRATOS.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH–
ATTENTION, MEMBERS OF THE AGENCY! PLEASE HEAD TOWARD THE EXITS IN A CALM AND ORDERLY FASHION! AT THE DOOR, YOU WILL BE INSPECTED FOR SIGNS OF INFECTION! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL!
IF YOU NOTICE ANY VAGUELY FAMILIAR YET HIGHLY ANDROGYNOUS INDIVIDUALS, DO NOT APPROACH THEM! PLEASE ALERT YOUR NEAREST REMASCULINIZATION ASSOCIATE IMMEDIATELY!
AND REMEMBER: KEEP A FOOTBALL AND A PINT OF JACK DANIELS ON YOUR PERSON AT ALL TIMES.
AND PLEASE REFRAIN FROM EXITING VIA WINDOWS AND BREAKING WALLS DOWN! THIS IS A QUARANTINED AREA! WE NEED TO KEEP THE INFECTED CONTAINED WITHIN!
I feel like my favourite part shouldn’t be that Mr. Fish emoted at the end there.
BUT IT IS.
Mr. Fish’s face in the last panel XD
I never thought I’d see him show any sign of an expression.
In other news……
O.o Oh dear *random holy symbol*! I gotta get outta here! *dives through window*
AHHH! CATCH HIM! CATCH HIM! INSPECT HIM FOR SIGNS OF INFECTION! WE NEED TO KEEP THE EPIDEMIC CONTAINED WITHIN THE BUILDING!
There is no hope…. they must sterilize them all for the good of the world….A world with that on the loose just isn’t a world worth living in… :(
For some reason I keep thinking of the movie REDLINE when I see that… version… of the commander.
I don’t hate this, it’s just annoying.
Very.
Holy God, the look in the eye of Mr.Fish…
Commander Bishounen?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I knew it. Granted, nothing could have prepared me for the final character design of Bishi-fied Commander, but I definitely squeaked with schadenfreude-filled glee when I saw the last panel.
Jared and Mr. Fish’s faces are A+
Also, JESUS is Club Kawaii’s background pink.
Dear sweet Jesus.
MY EYES! CHANGE HIM BACK!
-Begins choking on his food before laughing, laughing so hard it shot all over his Monitor- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA.
Jesus Christ, that Deviant Art search on Ed, Edd and Eddy somehow hurts even more than seeing stuff from that show pop up on Rule 34 sites
But seriously… He turned into one of the guys from Tenn Toppa Gurran Lagan… I think that’s still suitably badass. :V
Badass? Perhaps. But not Manly.
True… True….
Even in death, Kamina is manlier than anyone else in there.
Oh Hell.. no. Nonononooooooo!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! He is no longer a man’s man. He is now some wimpy Japanese type of individual. He has ceased to be a role model.
You realize that since he follows the Way of Brando, this is likely to bother everyone else more than it bothers the Commander…
That assumes his personality remains unchanged.
Considering what we saw of our “patient zero” and the odd and immediate effects on those surrounding the infected, I’m betting it’s more insidious then simple cosmetic alterations.
Let us hope the Bran-Dao remains strong with him!
Because yeah, if all that happens is that he looks like David Bowie for a while I don’t think it’ll faze him much. It’s David Bowie. :D
How does this comic end? I died from from a combination of the first, third and fifth panel.
Here in the afterlife we can’t load images on the internet. To prevent pornography, I hear. Must be purgatory.
CODE RED
BISHONEN VIRUS HAS ESCAPED CONTAINMENT
PREPARE TO NUKE WHATEVER CITY THE MAINLY GUYS AGENCY IS IN
REPEAT – DON’T STOP JUST NUKE IT
Hey yeah what city is it in?
Raccoon?
Liberty?
Ba[sin]?
Gotham?
MOSCOW?
Nashville, most likely. http://www.bestplaces.net/docs/studies/manliest_cities.aspx
Springfield.
Where the hell is Springfield? I dunno.
That bishonenification didn’t disappoint. Dat hair (and obviously, the cool goggles turning into Kamina shades, it’s like removing a coolness factor to replace it with another just as awesome).
I personally can’t wait to see the horror spreading (why? because it’s fun!).
Seconded!
I’m just enchanted by the way Bishi!Nier is all feral and clinging to the walls. I can see this being like one of those horror movies where the hostile critter leaps out and attacks unsuspecting victims.
And “fine porcelain made of fine kitten pelts”? That description is pure gold….XD
I love Jared’s facial expressions.
I have a minor correction that someone has probably beaten me to anyway. Instead of that whole last paragraph, it should just say “welcome to the Internet” after “bishification.”
HAHAHAHAH, Commander Bishiass is hilarious. I am now looking forward to laughing at a Canadian Guy bishi. However, some part of me suspects that for some reason, Canadian Guy will be immune.
Canadian Guy bishi? Might be a parody of Hetalia’s Canada or something.
that’s what I’m voting for.
So we will have more bishonened guys in this comic? I hope they will a cure quickly.
Also, Ed without his unibrow is not Ed. And even bishonen is not an excuse.
Mind. Blown.
I am far too excited to see what comes of this. I anticipate hilarity. xD
….Nightmare fuel.
Even Mr. Fish.. O_O
LOLOL
All things considered, I’d rather have the Black Scrawl.
Is the 7th panel’s dialogue a clever reference to the game’s story? :>
If you look RRRREEEEAAAALLLLLLL closely, Bishie Commander still has sideburns.
Were I the Commander … aaagh. I’d be torn between tearing Nier apart with my bare hands, struggling to find a cure and just hanging myself to end the horror.
The … horror … THE HORROR!
NOOOOOO!
He looks like a big bishi nerd that not even Final Fantasy would touch . . . *sobsobsob*
(so i guess you succeeded in Commander Bishi’s design)
MY EYES! THEY BUUUUUUUUUURN!
So THIS is what it feels like to look into the Abyss. There’s much more physical pain than I’d been led to believe.
Hey thanks to you I got Nier its actually a decent game and I’m enjoying the concept of playing a worn father as opposed to some bishi guy though I will admit I think Square really hates us westerners because Nier looks down right ugly to a point I think he was designed with hate. They’re no strangers to designing gruff older men such as Cid ,Barrett,and Auron.IMO it just feels like they just want to do bishi lead characters.
Oh goodness. It’s like looking into a weird fun house mirror. Only the mirror makes you look like a pretty boy. I feel bad for Commander Badass.
Are we sure this is some kind of bishonen virus? It occurs to me that the Commander is wearing Kamina’s glasses. Maybe it’s an anime disease?
It isn’t a bishounen virus; its [i]a gratuitously Japanese[/i] virus.
I fully expect random involuntary honorifics and the occasional desu once the virus has incubated for a few hours…
No, It’s a bishounen virus.
Drat.
Werebishonen virus?
THERE bishonen virus!
*groan*
…I love that Mr. Fish’s expression changes as well.
So… does the commander still have a gruff voice despite his changed appearance, or has it changed and he’s doesn’t realise it?
It’s gone from gruff to deliciously husky
He’s now voiced by Dan Green.
Or Vic Mcgnonga.
Personally, I wouldn’t mind Dan Green or Vic Mignogna, except they’re not quite what we want for the Commander.
. . . Okay, either one will be just fine with Commander Bishi.
Those links are deeply concerning…
Oh my god.
Couldn’t he just have died?
It would have been merciful compared to this…
Those links sent me to some very scary places.
hummmm normaly the before annd after piks the lasst one looks beter
only thing i can say now is O……00000000000000000000000000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Maybe I’m oblivious, but I did not see that coming.
It is absolute genius. And I’m not one to use that word lightly.
damn it now deviant art is going to have commander yaoi.
Dude, I guarantee you that Commander yaoi has been out ever since Canadian Guy showed up. Law of the internet.
OH LAWDY
Quick, call in Chris Redfield! He knows how to deal with apocalyptic situations in confined spaces! The entire agency could be doomed!
And if it should succumb and the doors opened…welcome to Left 4 Bish
Wait wait wait. That wasn’t redfield. That was 4 generic citizens. And it was better than resident evil.
How..why…
Why am I slightly more attracted to bishi-Badass than normal Badass?!
WAT IS DIS
To each his/her/its own. It (I refuse to call Commander…Bishiass a “he” anymore) doesn’t look too bishonen, but he’s definitely worse. I agree with the above; he looks like more like a cross between 70’s David Bowie and Kamina. Either way, it’s still not Commander Badass and I hope this horror resolves soon.
Great comic, by the way.
Guys listen
I don’t think you realize the potential here
Guys
A bishounen version of
Guys listen here
A bishounen
Version
Listen
A bishounen verson… of Mr Fish.
FFUUUUUUUUUU-
wait, then he’d just be a disgruntled Milotic.
Well, I better save up for a new keyboard then, because mine is likely going to get soaked from whatever beverage is in my mouth/giant tears of LOL.
Do milotics have mouths to permanantly frown with?
Ostensibly, its just always hidden by the protruding down-angled snout.
http://pokemon.marriland.com/black_white/pokedex/milotic/ It says nothing about mouths, but it has a cry and can use both Hyper Beam and Ice Beam. It probably has a mouth…somewhere…
But surely Mr. Fish’s scales are too hard for even a bishonen’s claws to penetrate, right?
…Why do I feel as if I just told a really weird and bad gay joke?
Because you used the word “hard”.
Don’t forget “penetrate.”
To my very great shame I… kinda think Bishimander is kinda sorta the ittiest bittiest bit hot.
Ohgodnobodyhitme. *flinch*
*smacks with a rolled up newspaper several times*
No! Bad! Bad girl! Phooey phooey phooey!
…okay, Tragedy, you stay right here and I’ll go call the nice men in the white suits to take you away…
do we really need a doctor demento fish heads roll call here?
But his deathly pale fine porcelain fine kitten skin- It– I just- Oh, help, there has to be a cure for my brain illness!
So, would a bishi-Sten just turn into Fenris, or…
Honestly though, I didn’t even realize that was supposed to be Commander on the first read.
wat
Haha he needs more unnecessary belts to be totally KAWAII ^_^
This is so amazing! Can’t wait for more :D
O___________________O
W-What da hell just happened!? LOL OH GOD, IT’S BISHIE-ITIS!
…every time I read that sentence, I cannot help but read it as Bishie Tits.
Thank gods I’m not the only one.
So I clicked on your first link, started scrolling down and OHGODWHATDIDTHEYDOTOPHINEASANDPERRYANDWHYARETHEYINBEDTOGETHER?!?!?!
Welcome to the internet! You’ve just been Rule 34’d. Here is your complimentary bottle of Brain Bleach and your emergency towel. Remember, always carry your towel with you. Good day and good luck!
ffff
This is something I can never frickin’ understand.
Why animu up these things Dx
And why make bishies out of guys that just aren’t like that D:
@_@ EEEE!
Can’t wait to see who else gets infected!
OH DEAR GOD NO
A fate worse than death for the Commander…!
I would love to see a bishonenfied Canadian Guy ._.
My brain. You broke it.
But holy cow that would be glorious.
After seeing bishie commander.. my brain just kinda sputtered out for awhile
Oh god, his grammar got fixed too. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! No!!! ; ;
“Okay, the clothes I can take, but you do NOT mess with a man’s syntax like that!”
Well, fuck.
That’s all I have to say on this.
Even after proclaiming how horrible these things were… I couldn’t stop looking…
I love how even Mr Fish looks shocked in the 2nd last panel.
Wow.
Is it bad that I really want to see what would happen if Kratos got scratched?
I think we all do, in much the same way that nobody can resist staring at a train wreck or car crash.
Which causes another car crash/train wreck.
That’s what it would be like – wreck after wreck caused by the first wreck.
Apparently, the infection affects his clothing as well.
Will he start using ~desu at the end of his sentences too? XD
Is it wrong that I totally lost my girlboner in the last panel? :(
While Commander Badass doesn’t look too terribly bish, IT (I refuse to call this mutant “he”) is still an abomination.
Hit Deviantart. Typed ‘Space Marine’.
In 6 pages of results, 2 or 3 lady marines, and 1 bishie (and a dubious bish at that).
Coupla’ chibi pics, but I ain’t gonna quibble. Warhammer 40k, thou art a bastion of the Emperor’s light against this scourge.
Speaking of, haven’t spotted any Warhammer on here at all. Is it TOO grimdark?
The bishi Commander makes me think of Jack Atlas from Yu Gi-Oh! 5DS and that is wrong! Still I can’t wait for the rest of this arc and its resolution with obligatory horror loose end which I imagine includes Jared somehow…On a side note it still looks like the Commander’s nose is slightly bent.
>mfw I didn’t see that coming
Egads! It can’t possibly… OH NOES!
IT’S A BISHOUNEN APOCALYPSE! RUN FOR THE HILLS! RUN! D=
I’ve been waiting to spring this since last update:
Bishocalypse.
Which consists of the bastard bishounen love child of bishop and apocalypse from the x-men. Much like the commander, and cable, it will be able to time travel.
Be afraid. Be very, very afraid. For it’s mission, unlike cables or bishops will not be to right any wrongs or avert any anti mutant tragedies, oh no.
It’s mission will be to infect/bishify anything deemed too manly.
It will be the first shock troop in the pretty police. It may even get ganendorf.
And i for one do not want to live in a world with a bishie donnie darko bunny mask.
No, a bishie Donnie Darko BOAR mask. So, Pumba from the Lion King.
I SORT of called it. I did say “werewolf rules”, but I thought he was safe because he didn’t get bitten. Oh, hell, who am I kidding? That’s not calling anything.
There are tales where a scratch is just enough to spread the syndrome.
… Oh shit…
It’s the Gutless from Those Lacking Spines, and they’ve gotten stronger!
No, the gutless didn’t affect manly men because they are not kawaii. If anything, this is Mansex’s yaoi cannon.
I’d say Lexaeus, Xaldin and Vexen to the rescue, but if the virus effects even beefy, older dads-what-kill-moose-with-their-bare-hands-and-aren’t-pretty-at-all types, then everyone’s pretty much screwed.
Pardon me, I’m just going to be over here giggling hysterically over these references.
You guys win really really hard.
yay~! A reference I get for reading fanfiction~!
Me too! Highfive!
BISHONEN’D!
My mind. It is blown.
Here’s another textbook case of the dreaded Bishidization virus:
http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=964812
And this is how they looked BEFORE this dreaded disease took it’s toll:
http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=944286
Gruesome stuff :< …don't stray too far from those links people. A lot of other dangerous and strangely enticing creatures are kept on display within those walls (mostly NSFW)
Well –
At least you didn’t link danbooru. Otherwise, D:<
but those are girls, so does it really count? They’re more -tan style?
Okay so what we all feared/predicted had come true. Commander Badass, is now Commander SoftAss.
Through use of time travel Commander could just call up himself in the past to take his place until he get’s his case of “pretty boy” out of his system and he did got this out of his system for he doesn’t look like a pretty boy on his deathbed during the expendibles comic.
Or I could be wrong and that comic caught him when he reverted back.
So is this only for the guy from Nier that could curse folks with his problem or all Bish folks have this? Oh god what would a manly Dante would look like?
Wait I’m clearly over thinking this to much and it’s just the case of Jared rubbing his pokemon trainer skin up against a open wound.
Commander’s blood stream now has hint of Jared Geekness DNA.
Neir guy just a freak of nature that flips between two forms.
Just because now he looks “pretty” doesn’t mean he is not a badass anymore, under the pile of unnecessary belts an porcelain skin Commander badass still exist.
I Pray that you are right, Samuel. I pray for us all.
Now imagine the upcoming possible battle and Commander fighting all pretty-looking other bishified guys. Oh wait, first think about how everybody will react when Commander starts to organize counter-measures against the virus and be a leader like usual while still looking like that…
Or maybe he will be like Nier and flip between two forms both mentally and physically – and oh boy, that would make things even more interesting! Can he still be the trusted Commander we all know and love and help the other guys at the office while flipping into a were-bishie uncontrollably?
… and how will his dear lady-friend react?
You all should be wondering if All Bish are like Nier and do they all have MANLY sides to them.
Or how would it effect a Pkmn trainer like Jared if he got infected.
*gasp*!!! I just threw up a little :O Please let there be a cure!
I’m more than a bit worried that if Jared *does* get infected that he’s going to turn into one of those doe-eyed simpering uke types.
Oooh *wince* Hush, don’t mention that, you’ll draw the wrath of the Yaoi Gods and then we’ll all be buggered!
Or worse, stereotyped.
Imagining the Commander with Patrick Warburton’s voice just got a lot harder.
But infinitely more amusing.
Those glasses are the only thing holding him back from becoming a total pussyfooted homosexual democrat.
I think he looks good actually. Nothing wrong with being a little skinny and having odd taste in……sun glasses.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Kamina glasses = WINNING.
OMG!!! Just ROFL!!!!!
I like that it took his gruff accent away too.
I am both insulted and intrigued by the commander wearing Kamina glasses. On one hand, since it is after the ‘bishounen’ effect, I feel like your suggesting that Kamina isn’t a total badass manly man. On the other, could it possibly be that they are intended to make the transformed Commander Badass still manly?
I think it’s more a compliment actually. Commander Badass has such an aura of manliness that even bishified his body still tries to mold itself to be as many as possible.
Congrats! You have just made my vagina close itself off in horror and disgust.
Okay, nobody panic. After all, in spite of their effete mannerisms, frail frames and bodies unblemished by the lives of hardship and suffering implied by their backstories, Bishies are still total badasses.
The Commander could still lead a rich, full life. You know, in spite of the fact that his current body could use the hollowed-out forearm of his old body as a roomy, comfortable sleeping bag.
That was beautiful.
That was beautiful.
I was eating dinner when I read this. There is now… partly chewed food all over my laptop…
Is it still a bishie if it scares the fuck outta me? I mean, oh god, whyyyy?
The Kamina glasses are the only thing keeping me from crying.
What I’m really afraid of is the reaction that Jonesy will have of the new Commander and his new…identity.
OOOOH NOOOOEEEEEEEEZ!!! Cool glasses though. Can’t go wrong with Kamina type glasses. >.>
I looked at the Club Kawaii link. I think I threw up a little in my mouth. It was…horrifying.
ME GUSTA. No shame XD this made me laugh so hard
I just looked at that Club Kawaii link as well… I hate weeaboos. also just noticed even Gyrados has that ‘wtf’ look on his face XD
NOooooo!
NOOOOO!!!! The Commander was so sexy and manly the last panel makes me want to cry at the loss of such a fine specimen of manhood.
Oh, Coelasquid you troll !!
Kamina glasses to prove bishounen when Kamina is the only manly badass guy on the serie (and because of that I stopped watching it when he *spoiler* dies at 6 or 7 episode of 20 there are) being his bother the real bishou and protagonist of it.
Raging people everywhere! Good job!
His brother Simon, no bother, XD
I think I literally screamed when I saw the last panel. Kamina glasses…*headsplode*
I thought they were Pasadena Cat-Lady glasses. Not that that makes it any less disturbing
If the bishounen virus is catching, what if it spreads to Ganondorf, or Kratos, or Duke or even Canadian Guy?!
Oh God, the humanity! We have to find the cure NOW!
Not enough belts!
The shoulder pads killed me. Good Lord. Lollin’ all day long.
Belts, belts everywhere.
Also, I’d bottle that bishification shit and sell it at conventions to the weeb girls. I’d make a mint. What formula would work best, the tears of Cloud or some hair of the Sesshomaru dog?
This hurt my balls when I saw the change on Commander’s complexion.
No… Commander… W-why… You were my role model…
What am I going to do now!?
VENGEANCE
This night, we hunt.
:D I GOT TORCHES AND PITCHFORKS!
I’ll bring the potato salad.
can’t forget the burgers, either. a proper hunt demands gross amounts of protein!
Also, Mr. Fish’s face in the 8th panel. Lol.
I went to that “Club Kawaii” or whatever just to see what it was… and I will never be the same again. I think my eyes literally need to be plucked from my face… especially after what they did to Stephen Hawking and Glenn Beck… SERIOUSLY?! GLENN F’ING BECK?!
I hope that place is a joke, because OMG… *BARF*
I mean… Captain changing was already hurting my heart as it was, but after witnessing the abomination of that site…I… just…
I’m going to go lay down.
Weaboos need to leave all things non-bishounen the way they are and leave the anime shit to us.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Anime/MiracleTrain?from=Main.MiracleTrain
And so, it begins… MWAHAHA!
Funny story, literally: a friend of mine wrote a 500+ word fanfic about French Resistance partisans that derail the train. You can find it here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7770974/1/Sabotage_de_Metro_Miraculeuse
In a world where manly men do manly things.
He was there only hope.
“I am just a Nerd” Jared
“It’s cause ye’r a Nerd” Captain
When madness takes hold.
“You locked down the whole building?!” Kratos
“It’s the only way to stop it spreading!” Canada
The only answer is to…
(Into music from AC/DC starts)
Get mad.
(Back in black lyics kick in)
“I am here to kick ass and chew gum” Jared
(Lyric about nine lives kicks in to show Jared floating nine hearts)
“And I am all out of gum” Jared
“Heyyyyyy” Duke
Jared lowers Glasses.
2012 coming to a Pannel NIER you!
*a single MANLY tear rolls down face*
http://bit.ly/yRuxtu
Ogod, this made me so happy. Someone must film this or something.
I am laughing at your lack of proper spelling, while drinking nier beer.
Your movie needs a better writer, like me ….
NIER is the game in question which the character comes from…
That was the point.
I dunno. I kinda like the new Commander, especially without all that hair.
Heresy!
Quickly! We must tar and feather the witch!
*flips up helmet visor* How do we knoooow this is a witch?
only once a week updates huh… Poo, that’ll take forever
dem Kamina shades….
asdfghjkllkjhgfdsaNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Aahahaha…. Delightful! I needed that laugh.
I’m looking forward to what you do with this plot-ful arc, Coelasquid. Cheers!
So do you want we spam kawiiclub with hate messages or something?
Club Kawaii is a satirical collection of ridiculous anime art, like the Socially Unacceptable Art tumblr. It used to be called “That Isn’t Anime”, but they changed the name to commit to the “sugoooi~desu” act.
Oh thank god it’s satirical.
Why would you want to send hate mail to something so beautiful?
Besides, they’re just collecting the pictures. DeviantArt would still exist even if Club Kawaii didn’t.
…Wait, how do you know about Club Kawaii, exactly…?
Because I use tumblr?
Sheridan. *sage nod*
Also completely explains and justifies your hatred of Bishi.
Thats the scariest goddamn thing I’ve seen all day!
-looks at Kamina glasses-
Now I can’t stop thinking in Jared wearing Simon’s outfit
I love how even Mr. Fish is scared. Also, oh dear god! All his manly chest hair…gone. Did his voice change as well? Because imagining him with his gruff voice still makes me laugh.
I keep thinking it goes from gruff to Jackie from Virtual Fighter
Gurren Lagann bishieness influence… Lordgenome is either gonno prove useful or be a stage of recovery, methinks. http://images.wikia.com/villains/images/0/0d/Lordgenome.jpg
Well I remember seeing some pics of young lord genome and he looked a lot like his daughter xD
In other words, HE HAS THE CURE!
Or, y’know, proves that recovery is possible at least, if the cure is just years of HARD WORK AND EFFORT.
Hey, now, Kamina was GAR as they come!
In voice and action? Oh, indubidably. But his physical design is rather antithetical to his characterization.
*looks up a picture* Hmm.. actually, he’s pretty legit. He’s not on steroids or some hulking bear, like our dear Captain, but he’s got some decent meat on ‘im. The lack of definition is also due to animation constraints. See: http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/contents/gurren-lagann/images/chara/kamina.jpg
Now, compare that to, say, this malnourished creature: http://download.minitokyo.net/Kira.Yamato.257212.jpg
Well he was still a young adult just look at lord genome it took some years for him to change to bishie to badass spiral king.
Actually his physical design seems to fit very well in the japanese idea of a manly young man. Remember that what makes you look good in one culture could make you look funny in other.
What about kittan?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg13T9cP9Fg
Look at those tick eyebrows and is face when he is about to sacrifice him self, most of yaoi/bishie fan girls would say that he looks ugly.
Kamina was a poser. ~|3
so was sasuke/ga
You mean that little douche from Naruto?
YES THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER YES.
“shudder”
I’m assuming he still has the same gruff, drawly voice because it’s funnier that way.
Hmmm…
Bishied Ganondorf must look like OoT Ganondorf.
The Triforce of power MUST help protect against the bishification.
Watch as bishie Ganondorf is white.
I think you win an internet.
Needs more belts and eyeliner. Also, yaoi paddles.
I’m not gonna lie. I fangirled the hell out of seeing the Commander transform into girly bishonen. But only because when something transforms into something else, it always makes for an amusing story. I love the Commander in all his gruffness, but this is an interesting twist to see get resolved! c:
Hmm … something transformed into something else …
Oh my god. You’ve just given me an amazing idea.
We should counterattack! Start a trend of taking uber-femme bishi characters and redesigning them as manly/ugly/fatty/hairy men! 80 OMG
(assuming it doesn’t already exist, of course. I’ve never seen it, though)
If you search a little you can found all kinds or alternative art from many different artists but be open minded some people get rage when they favorite characters are portrayed in a different way.
It does is called alternative art… I personally love when people do it. Enjoy “manly” cloud by genzoman
http://genzoman.deviantart.com/art/Manly-Cloud-144852759
That’s an awesome Cloud, but “alternative art” seems to cover any case of redesigning a character different than the original, I was thinking more of a specific term for “bishounen-to-manly”.
Ha, guess even pokemon can adhere to the idea that pets sometimes resemble their owners, albeit Mr. Fish’s surprise is a bit manlier than Jared’s. But…if the Captain slims down in bishieness does this mean Jared would mysteriously bulk up if he suffered the same sickness?
Oh my GOD I hope so! That would be hilarious. *is starting to feel guilty for liking the plot twist*
The end is nigh. Repent, for the Bishiepocolypse is upon us.
HMMM. Still not bishie enough. More like the dude from Aeon Flux than anything else… ;P
As someone who likes both manly men and “bishies”, I feel as though I’m going to greatly enjoy this.
I like how the skin around the cut is a slightly different color, so you can see how it’s going to spread.
And oh god, it’s even affecting his slurred informal speech patterns. He already SOUNDS poufier. Everything about the last panel is perfect: puffy shoulders, Kamina glasses (though Kamina is still kinda macho) huge lapels, big eyes, spiky hair… wow. I can’t wait for next week’s comic.
Ha! Bishie Commander and I have the same haircut. This amuses me.
Freaks me out to no end what dA does to Ed Edd and Eddy. Bluh. All the bluhs.
Well… That’s a twist… It seems our dear commander is infected with Bishiitis… Where is your god now?
I dunno where David Bowie is. will try to find him by watching Labyrinth.
Well. I think you’ve crippled/blinded most of your readers with this one.
I hope you’re happy.
*why did I click on the links???*
For the record guys, “weird fantasy germs” are what caused the world of Nier to happen in the first place. (Look up Nier and Drakengard, if you don’t mind spoilers.)
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH KILL IT WITH FIRE!!! *hides*
Hahaha, this is fantastic. I love the look on Mr. Fish’s face.
Just checked out that Club Kawaii site… what scares me the most is the flood of creepy Sponge Bob and Patrick love drawings… ewwwwww… why?!
I just threw up in my mouth.
Fuck. Why did I love bishounen so much when I was 14?
SWEET JESUS’ HOLY SIX PACK! We’re already past case zero, we need to exterminate!
So will they need to kill the head bishie?
Not sure if bishounen or lady gaga.
Wheeeeheeheehahahaha! WAAAHAHAHAHA!
Yeah, I may have been expecting it, but that doesn’t make it any less funny. What’s with Jared, though? Did he catch some kind of shounen-ai variant? It’s hard to tell, Jared’s a little bit weird already! Oh lordy, I swear to god this is just excellent. I guess I’ll have to wait until next comic to see whether Commander’s attitudes have changed!
Oh, now I see, now that I came back to laugh at this comic again–the skin around the scratches really is different! And Jared was just pointing out the spreading infection, in his amazingly Jaredlike way :D
I bet Commander will be disgruntled when he sees himself, but more or less take it in stride. Jonesy, on the other hand-!
Werebishies?
F*@$ing Twilight…
I want to end that damn tumblur page I had never been so annoyed with a single page. And the to see what they did to the Doctor. THEY WILL DIE!
Anywho Ya we all saw this coming
LET US SEE CANADA MAN. Oh my goodness I want to see someone bishounen-ize me a Canada man. :0
Heh. Heh heh.
Oh lord that’d be hilarious.
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Deep breaths…deep breaths….
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
So whos next? Kratos, canadian guy or Sten?
surely Canadian blood grants some immunity to being unmanly
Prehaps canandian guy is the cure!
And they have to eat him like in undead or alive….
Even after years of exposure to t’interwebs I’m still finding it hard to picture a bishi-Canadian Guy.
Maybe a slightly buff version of Justin Bieber?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGHHHH If that happens, I’m going to use the nearest object to gauge my eyes from my head.
Also, I’m sort of interested in seeing what effect this will have on Good ol’ Ganny… or Kratos. In a comedic, horror induced interest.
Imagine a bishie Colin Mockry.
Or Stephen Harper. Steve’s kind of hard to take seriously anyway, so it couldn’t hurt.
Honestly? I find the idea of a Bishy Sten hilarious.
I like pretty boys, but he just does /not/ look right at one. At least…not a teen version one. Now if he were still a more rugged looking kind…..hahahaha. But yeah, that is just so wrong…and yet so freaking funny!
Lookit that DESU PLING. I mean, what an impressive pling. Find kitten pelts, indeed XD I was totally useless for about a half hour, in which every time I /stopped/ laughing, I’d look at the Commander in the last panel and proceed to laugh my ass off again. GENIUS, GENIUS I SAY. You need to get one of those massive foamy sports hands in order to pat yourself on the back with.
*comes back after a day*
*looks up at previous post*
Yup. That pretty much sums my reaction.
Mr. Fish is Immune, luckily.
After all, Jared already thinks him being ‘soooo cuuuutee!’
Most likely Mr. Fish will be the source of some antidote. Maybe being slapped over the head by him, like in old times when Jared used him in his “Magicarp” form to bludgeon Pokemons to bloody pulp.
After all, the transformation from “Cute” to “Cool” worked back then already, too.
When you consider spilled intestines cool, at least.
Oh and…
When it hits Kratos you all know what he turns into, right?
A smurf!
After all: They’re cute and blue….
Mr. Fish has a “Say What?” face on.
ooooh
oh
oh my god
aaaaaaaAAAaaAAUGH
D: D: D:
…other than the massive amount of brain bleach necessary to rectify my now fractured psyche, at least he got Kamina-shades out of this ordeal.
*meltdown complete*
AAAAAAAAAAaaAAAAaaaAaAaaaaaaAAAaaAAaaAAaAaAAaAAa
AAAAAAARARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
DID NOT SEE COMING
AAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Wow, that was comedic perfection. You set it up, created some curiosity, and timed it perfectly with a dead-on So Right But So Wrong reveal.
I’m glad I don’;t read this AT work, or I’d have to explain what I was laughing so hard about.
WHOAH
I DIDN’T see this coming at all xD
And… huh. I actually think Commander looks odd as a bishie. This is strange because I normally like bishies. Yay I have a semblance of taste!
Ohgod. That site made my eyes bleed.
Jared is easily the creepiest person in this comic. And that’s including the serial killers.
way to get a nose job and lose the coat of chest hair!
Even as a woman, the commander is still more of a man than Jared.
MY GOD! NOOOOO! Someone give him the antidote!!!
COMMANDER BADASS, YOUR MACHISMO IS THE MACHISMO THAT WILL REACH TO THE HEAVENS.
BELIEVE IN THE ME THAT BELIEVES IN MARLON BRANDO!
*bwahahaha!* Commander Bishass. I am simultaneously amused and horrified.
SWEET BABY PINEAPPLES!!!
I like my bishie boys… but… just…. NO!!! THE COMMANDER MUST BE MANLY *headdesk*
Went to Club Kawaii. Saw Phineas and Ferb and threw up in my mouth a little.
http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=ed+edd+and+eddy#/d70hfx
This one’s not too bad. It at least looks like them, and I like the sunglasses tan Eddy has goin’ on.
I don’t know what’s more eerie; Commander’s change in look, or his change in speech inflection.
Haha commander badass… Do we call him commander bishie now…?
Bishass.
The Commander reacted awfully tame about Jared rubbing up against his cheeks and talking about how fine it is. Guy doesn’t seem phased by anything.
Mayhaps not noticing you’ve been affected/not minding is a symptom of being a werebishounen. Of course, once you’ve reverted to normal, your horror knows no bounds.
Nah, the Commander has been pretty much unflappable the entire comic, the exceptions being when confronted with (a) his then-wife, (b) himself from the future, and (c) Canadian Guy. I’m betting that, if anything, it’s the bishie version who’ll start flipping out and/or acting dramatic.
except when dealing with the above three
NEW STORY ARC
NEW STORY ARC
WEEWOOWEEWOO
My lord! Mr. Fish’s eye is almost, nearly, completely open. Can’t really blame ‘im for being alert, not something you see everyday is it?
No… he is not ready yet. More bishification is needed. MORE! Jared would be wise to not get infected, poor guy’d probably end up all “uke” or whatever it is people call it when they make a doe eyed girly man cute thing. Oh… Oh god the mental image, what did I do to myself!? Get it out! Nooooo… D:
I hope this doesn’t happen to Pyramid Head. That would be unfortunate. :<
He’s already hiding his face…
Pyramid Head’s horrifying secret: underneath that mask, he’s got salon-perfect hair and an utterly clear complexion.
Not sure where the tongue comes in, though.
What other poor souls shall fall victim to this horrid disease? …5 bucks says either Duke Nukem or Serious Sam are gonna be next.
Bishification? You mean like the entire Wolverine Anime?
YES !! If you does a bishiecation for Badass, that means you will have to do a manlyfication of Jared to keep the balance of the Universe safe !! Hell Yeah !!
GUYS GUYS GUYS!!!!
Bishie Pyramid Head!!
0_o *head esplosion*
I… just can’t see that happening for some reason… If Coelasquid finds a way to pull it off, I’ll be REALLY impressed.
NO!!! No I do not want to see that! That’s worse than Bishie Commander!
Dude, picture this: Pyramid head in a chibi body with that ridiculous head thing, dragging a bloody machete on the ground like it’s his security blanket. It could…kinda work.
That’s not bishonen. That’s chibi.
NOOOO! Captain! Someone get him so alcohol quick! And no whine coolers!!!
I’m laughing because even Mr. Fish’s eyes are popping out of his skull.
…
jared you were just touching that
with your face
I believe this is some sort of JRPG and WRPG argument thing. This is just the commander in a JRPG, being infected by Niel.
Commander’s clothes must be 100% organic given that they appear to have caught whatever got in through his face.
They’re magic weirdass fantasy germs, remember? Neir’s clothes were affected, too.
Leather is dead cow (or any animal hide tanned really) skin, as gross as it sounds it is always 100% organic. albeit dead. therefore organic clothes are most likely susceptible to the virus. Now i am still not sure how kamina glasses are .. but its still cool as all f*ck.
100% crystal monster hide.
OH MAN
GIRLY GUYS DOING GIRLY THINGS
if it helps, I didn’t see this coming at ALL xD so there’s at least one
man he looks odd
I think… that that needs to be a spin off title.
Hahaha! Excellent work. At first glance at the last panel I was like “who the heck is this new guuuuuh- WAIT.”
JESUS-
In other news, the commander regrew his missing tooth (teeth?)
I have a feeling Kratos will be immune to this new pathogen.
Nah, if anyone’s going to be immune to it, it’ll be Jared.
What about Link? I doubt he’s a member of the agency, but that never stopped him from bothering Ganny.
Link probably sits in the middle; he’s masculine enough to grow a set of scruffy chops, but can never grow facial hair. He’s either immune, or the disease just gives him bishie-PMS.
With how he’s portrayed in this comic, how would you even tell?
My man love for the Captain has increased 200% percent.
Is this going to involve your Link turning into Wind Waker Link?
Well, looks like glasses absorbed all the latent manliness left in him (I know some people here disagree, but Kamina’s manlier than any godforsaken bishi.) Sweet-spiral-shades won’t redeem a transformation so vile though. Hopefully it’s just his body that changed and not… his spirit.
http://articles.cnn.com/2009-06-05/world/japan.herbivore.men_1_japanese-men-men-and-women-girlfriend?_s=PM:WORLD
Aaaand the real world coincides with MGDMT once again.
Oh man. I am so excited for this storyline. Looks like it’s going to be hilarious. I miss Commander’s deliciousness, but this looks like it’s going to be worth it in the end.
I just want to let you know that I followed the link that you posted out of scientific curiosity. I also want to let you know how much pain it has caused me. Just as a reference, I have a floating rib from a logging accident that causes less pain than that god-forsaken website, and that fucker likes to jab my internal bits.
Is… Is that the commander in last panel? O.o Took me like 4 re-reads of the comic page to figure it out. Wasn’t sure if it was another anime/videogame or whatever character or what.
And Mr.Fish’s expression made me chuckle XD
AAAAHHHHHH!!! D:
….must…. must……….. breathe………………………………….. *fails*
Bwahahaha XD this is made of pure awesome!
He looks so unbelievably silly as a bishie. If the infections gonna spread i look forward to seeing more werebishies and the gangs reactions to it.
Commander Bishounen.
Yay~ Werebishies~~
…Y-You’re not enjoying this just because there’s going to be more bishonen in the comic, right?
Still, Kamina’s glasses rock.
Damn Straight.
While he wasn’t the buffest hero, he was still manly as all hell.
Far from a bishie.
oh crud.
The goggles are the cruelest touch.
If the commander scratches Mr. Fish, will he become a Dragonair?
That would be kinda cool, actually. Jared would be beside himself but his parents might be happy. Mr. Fish would turn into a shiny Dragonair.
Mr. Fish would probably become a Dragonite soon after though, but what happens when the disease is cured?
Will he then become a salamence or hydreigon or garchomp or something?
This is all theoretical silliness of course, but I don’t think he would evolve in his “mutant” form, nor turn back into anything but his original form: after all, Nier turns back into his elderly, burly man self no matter if he’s a younger bishie in his transformation.
Dragonair simply looks like a smaller, cuter version of a sea snake monster- thus a “bishiefied” Gyarados. Dragonite makes no visual sense as a bishiefied version of Mr Fish anymore.
Oh dear god…. ._.
I like where this is going! Where’s Canadian guy at?
Also: I can only assume all the “bishi =//= man” commenters think they could take Sephiroth in an arm wrestling competition. All men are men, all women are women, no reason to be rude because it’s not your ideal eye candy.
Not like there aren’t artists drawing all originally-bishi characters as buff. Plus this is 2012, there are furry (damn you Aaron) and quite possibly MLP versions of them all too. The chances of you liking ALL of it is remote so don’t expect to.
(^If true then )
Holy shit, did Mr. Fish just show emotion?
Benimaru-desu?
Seriously, he totally looks like Benimaru from KOF. Just less hair. Tell me I’m not the only one that sees that.
Holy goddamn that Kawaii Club made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.
This is an excellent comic, by the way. I’m looking forward to see where this goes.
Needs more unnecessary belts.
That is not enough belts for this Commanders.
I agree with this. He also needs some sort of metal spaulder (shoulder armor) on one side to make the look complete. And longer hair that spikes around his face. LOL, maybe it gets worse the longer one has the disease – Commander could have a plethora of belts by the time a cure is found.
For some reason Commander’s new goggles are giving me a Viewtiful Joe vibe.
I’m ok with this.
Oh god…is it just me or does he look a bit live David Bowie?
Lack of accent in final panel = most terrifying thing about Commander
Q AQ NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!! I like Bishies, BUT GOD NO. ONE DOES NOT TURN A SEXY MUSCLE MAN INTO A BISHIE Q ~Q
I just threw up in my mouth a little. I am both intrigued and horrified. Actually, I’m just compartmentalizing until my psyche can break this down into little digestible pieces that actually make sense.
First I read commander’s voice in Patrick Warburton’s voice, then for the last panel I read his voice in David Bowies voice.
D:
MY EYES! THEY NEED BLEACH! *scarred for life*
Oh cruel fate, why the commander?! TAKE ME INSTEAD!
hate to tell ya but Bleach is brimming with bishounen ;)
Quick! We must introduce them to the concept of Gekiga!
Bring Fist of North Star; Berserk, Doctor K!
Come on people! That’s the only way to combat the bishounefication!
I’ve been rereading this page over and over again because Commander Bishounen is my favourite punchline for some reason.
Bishified Commander is the funniest thing I have EVER SEEN. Oh wow. So perfect. Hahahahaha.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Yes, I totally saw this one coming and it’s as awesome and as morbidly wonderful as I excpected it to be. I can see the Commander’s kids running screaming from him, and oh god, violins need to start swelling in the background anytime he talks to Jonesy in this form. ::snicker::
I wonder if some sort of cutesy sidekick pet is going to show up and follow the Commander around while he’s like this and if his weapons all turn into elaborate “gun-swords” or ridiculous but neat-looking buster swords/kitanas.
I hope that they have to call in the help of real Bishi’s to figure out how to deal with the sudden swell of rabid fangirls around the office. If it works in reverse…oh god, I..sortofwanttoseemachoSephirothorsomething, okay? ::shifty eyes::
Anyway, brilliant turn of events! I await the next update with baited breath.
Yay~ Macho Sephiroth~
I… I might have to draw something out of this. I don’t know. I’m going to play this by ear. People may get hurt in the process.
Bishounen Virus is my next band name.
Why/how did the Commander’s cloths change?
What about the Canadian? let’s get him all Bishied!
I love how even Mr. Fish looks shocked.
Congratulations.
You’ve all been exposed to the virus.
Now, if you’ll all line up in a nice line and file into this facility, we can get around to finding a cure.
Alright, put down that knife. No need to get irrate. Just remain calm *motions to security* and everything will be fine.
GET HIM OFF OF ME OMG THEY’VE BREACHED MY SUIT OPEN FIRE OPEN FI – …
OMG! He’s become the next David Bowie!
Awesomeness :D Unfortunately, speaking of viruses, your site seems to have been hacked. Unless you’re trying to sell us cialis and airplanes.
NOOOOOOO!!!!! dont worry commander! i’ll save you!!! *scratches his face with regular germs* … now go back in the room an come out again..
TIME Y U NO MOVE FASTER!?
Turn Monday already!
Dear god coal, what have you unleashed, I don’t know if you understand the sheer emo power of Bishiness involved.
I’ll begin praying at the Altar of Manliness right away.
You mean the Altar of Brando?
Same thing, really :D
I am so upset by this…
Kaminafication!
All I can think about is, what are his kids going to think? D:
I want to see Bishie!Mr. Fish. |D
Mr. Fish’s reaction = my reaction.
So what happened to the page today? almost all day i got a 502 error telling me what brand of linux server the site uses or something.
i want jared to be a bishie XD
idk he seems like my kind of guy, a gamer/geek/poke trainer lol too bad hes not hot
BISHIFY HIM PLEASE!!! @w@
Haha, oh gosh, is it just me or is Mr. Fish’s strabismus suddenly (and hopefully temporarily) cured by the shock of the Commander’s transformation.
Gasp! He turned into Payet Best!
Coela, you rock even drawing a bishonen version of the commander. Keep up the good work!
Does it bother anyone else that Nier is now loose in the agency?
Even Mr. Fish is freaked out… I’m kinda afraid to know how far it will go. Oh, and I have a growing suspicion that Jared’s gonna turn out immune to the virus X)
x’3 Now watch.
Jared will get scratched.
All it will do is make him clean-shaven.
MAYBE.
Jared is too adorable as-is. x3
So sad I missed out on WAI-con and cant come see you. wanted to get a signed art piece or some memorabelia. Love your comics!
I was gonna ask for some more belts/straps, but I see he has a decent amount on already.
No, no, it’s the buckles that give them power!
…tbh, i’d expected CB to look more sexy as a girl…this somewhat saddens me, but still funny
Commander nor nier are girls, they’re bishounen. which means “pretty boys”.
Thank god there isn’t an actual gender swapping virus/magic like in eerie cuties.
Correction, there isn’t a gender swapping virus YET~~ :P
It’s about time that got fixed~ C:
I think someone wants to have a penis of their very own.
Tbh, i sometimes wonder what having a love glove feels like.
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!
No… No… Does silver even work on this? Can you prevent it? Does killing the one who gave it to you fix the problem?!!
We must find out. The very nature of manliness is at stake!
With this comic, you have entered into history.
/applause
heh, cockatoo hair.
And a week later I just noticed the Commander’s speech changed, too.
Though seeing the commander like that is funny as hell, but due to the links I need to puke now…
I always heard Commander’s voice as Steve Blum’s. Now, seeing this, I hear David Bowie’s voice…and I can’t stop laughing.
*horrified scream!*
No! This comic gets me AWAY from the skinny white girly-boys!!
Hey, I think Eric Lecarde from Castlevania is afflicted with the same curse.
Check his Judgement look against his Portrait of Ruin look. It even transfers to his spear!
… no… no…NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
That is the most horrifying thing ever! No not the machismo! *weeps horridly*
God, I CANNOT wait to see how Jonesy reacts to this!
Will u go to Heaven?Quick test.Lied,stole,used God’s name in vain?Jesus said if u look w/lust you adulter in ur heart.Looked w/lust?Will u be guilty?God sees u as a lying thief,blaspemer & adulter at heart.Bible says u WILL go to Hell because of ur sins.God’s rich in love & mercy.Jesus suffered & died on the cross for sinners & rose from the dead 3 days later.He paid our fine (John 3:16).Please repent(turn from sin)& trust Jesus as Lord(to let Him run ur life)& Savior.Then Read ur Bible,obey it
…BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES, PEOPLE! WE HAVE A SPAMBOT!
Bishounify it. It’ll still spam, but it will be all about cute puppies and kittens and rainbow riding unicorns having sex with each other. And they are very horny.
Ah, but a bishonenified version wouldn’t be a SPAM-bot, it’d be a TOFURKEY-bot.
No. It would be a turducken. Bot.

With a side of perogies and poutine.
Damnit, now making myself hungry.
…I will freely admit, my first reaction when I saw the last panel wasn’t “What the hell did you do to the Commander?!?”, it was “Who the fuck is he?” I didn’t even recognize that it was supposed to be the Commander until I read the comments. (So…am I sheltered about the emasculating powers of kawaii or extra stubborn in my belief of his manliness? You choose.)
And on the subject of kawaii…I followed your link to that club…yeah, I’m regretting that now. *shudders*
What happens when Mr. Fish gets scratched? :D
Turns into Milotic? Oooooo, maybe dratini or dragonair…Feebas? xD
Mr. Fish would turn into a shiny Dragonair. >_> At least Jared could take him into that PokePark for cute Pokemon then. Hmm, what is the size of a Dragonair compared to a Gyarados?
Don’t want to ruin it, but if Nier gets to everyone…No one can stop him.
Unless he scratches a little skinny kid who is as manly as pink soap…shame there isn’t one of those around
what about link?
Never thought I would see a moment that even Mr. Fish had to go “WTF?” to.
He looks like david bowie. David bowie is the manliest bishii man in the world. He also has a big junk. Commander is just so manly, thats the worst you can do to him.
I know its probably been said a hundred times by now, but the expression on Mr. Fish’s face sez all.
I’m so eager to see the next installment. f5 f5 f5 f5 f5 f5!!! Gah!!
Seriously, I just spent like an hour and a half looking at ed, edd and eddy fanart on DA. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?
I’d like to request one update please. kthxbi
Ogawd what the hell is that club kawaii shit
fuck I’m repulsed
What the hell happened to testosterone here
there is none
NONE
Also, Dirk sunglasses. Yes.
Apparently they are the shades of some dude from guren lagan ( i probably misspelled this) which is a fairly awesome anime from the few snippetts i’ve seen of it. And they are called kamina shades (glasses) apparently, probably after the name of the guy who wears them.
remember folks, i’ve never seen this anime. I have my own.
1-The name is Gurren Lagann.
2-It’s an anime about fighting giant monsters with drills and related stuff. There are even girls with big boobs. Usually it’s awesome.
3- Kamina (one of the protagonists) use these shades. He’s kind of badass. Also mad.
well im sold, ill check it out.
I must protest the usage of Kamina’s glasses as a bishie icon. He is an extremely manly person, with an extremely manly personality, he just isn’t a bodybuilder. Dx

I agree. Kamina, while not having the body of a bodybuilder, was definitely manly. He certainly wasn’t a shallow character like the bishies we detest. He went out smiling, for his friends he acted brave and was genuinely brave to the point of foolishness to motivate them.
Mm. He’s not the only guy to wear them, and I choose to acknowledge my own fandom oh so much more than I ever could some anime I never bothered to watch. But yeah, they also belong to Kamina.
But no…Dirk’s sunglasses are orange. Commander’s bishi glasses are red. Just like Kamina’s, who is also a manly bishi. As manly as a bishounen can be, actually.
The links burn! Funny though, but wow..
Juuuuudaaaaas
Forgot to say, I love that the virus changes what the person is wearing as well. :)
Can’t wait for the next comic!!!
Awesome talks at Wai-Con!
can someone explain to me why and if Eikichi Onizuka is a bishie? He smokes,drinks, has a penchant for young women, solves problems using street smarts, has no real powers save a , no real class,pretty burly IMO,remarkable resilience to pain, and a heart of gold. I’ve always thought he was more manly than the typical tough guy bishis you usually see in anime.
I don’t think he counts, honestly. Bishies typically look more Sephirothy than that. The usual deciding factor for bishounen status is the physical appearance. I mean you could take all of those personality/character features you described for Onizuka and apply them to some guy with a willowy build, Maybe-It’s-Maybelline looks, salon hair, and he would still be a bishie because he fits the look. In fact I’m pretty sure there ARE some who fit that description. So I wouldn’t worry too much about Onizuka, he’s not pretty enough for it.
Thanks for the info. I searched online in a panic and found that he was on some bishie list…I’m starting to think the concept is going the indie genre route where anything can be called Bishie as long as it has A trait as opposed to a set of traits =/
Send in someone who is masculine and feminine at the same time. Who qualifies?
bishified Jared ?= Ash Ketchum…
given his close contact to the commander’s bishifected scratches, i suspect he’s been exposed already… it’s only a matter of time.
Srsly, hurry up! Im dying to find out what happens next!
Thank you for posting the link to Club Kawaii for easy trolling access.
Club Kawaii is already a troll group. It used to be “That Isn’t Anime” but they changed the name to commit to the super-weeaboo image.
I know it’s a troll group but I still can’t stand it. Just on the note I see those kinds of people almost in every fandom in mass ruining it. I just can’t laugh at it anymore because they won’t die.
Believe in the me who believes in the you…
I’m trying to work out which 80s “rock” star he looks most like… or that blonde in that one episode of Saved By The Bell when he became an 80s “rock” star.
Oh my GOD I am bookmarking the everloving shit out of club kawaii, that has my sides hurting from laughter.
Jared becomes the manliest man.
….That Club Kawaii crap makes the logic centers in my brain explode from the stupidity. I don’t care if it’s satire or not.
Oh… my… God.
He looks like David Bowie from ‘Labyrinth’. The Commander is sporting the latest Goblin King outfit. All he’s missing (if he’s missing it at all) is the ‘bulge’.
Go ahead. Try to get that image outta your head.
God, I love how she draws her noses!! URGHGHUFAJ DSLfiASJDLkfj I just want to squish Jared’s nose in the 8th panel. D:
XD THE WERE-BISHI. BE AFRAID.
Hope for his sake that the cure isn’t in the highest tower of a vampire’s castle in an orb surrounded by viscous, corrosive acid. x’D
I can just have fun imagining this… every time he’s within eyesight of an eyeliner stick, BAMF, bishi’d. x’D That would be a cruel, but hilarious, fate. Can’t wait to see where you go with this!
… OMG.
Jared, it is your time to become MANLY by saving the day.
And get Neir, Mr. Fish. Let’s work on that cure.
To quote bootleg Darth Vader, DO NOT WANT!
Ahh, a late update. You must be having a very busy, exhausting week Coelasquid. :c So thank you for the free comic and I hope you get the rest you need! We are grateful for the free entertainment and fun tiems, and I hope you’ll be continuing this story along when you’re ready.
Hee, I love that the bishonen curse extends to his clothes. Those shoulder pads!
On side note,the people who think club kawaii is serious baffle me.
when you said in your panel that there would be a bishounen virus I wasn’t expecting this! Awesomeness!
What if the origin of the curse is…
Ghirahim!?
mister fish has officially more facial expressions than kristen stewart
Hey, just saying since you haven’t updated, I hope everything is okay.
She was in Australia for a Con. There is an announcement.
I really really really really want to see bishified Jared. Also awesome idea!
I clicked the Club Kawaii link. I have since lost a great deal of blood… out of my eyes.
Just here to say that not a single thing at the Club kawaii link is kawaii at all.
Yanno, those glasses tend to be for punks and gangsters. Pretty-boys just wear big, translucent goggles that they never wear over their eyes.
it’s scary that even Mr. Fish is concerned…
Were-Feminism! This is going to be very interesting.
I don’t think you know what “feminism” means…
a little late, but damn, fifth panel looks like… SPLITFACE THING FROM THE PREQUEL MOVIE AAAGGH.
I love that even Mr. Fish kind of has a “wut” face going on in the second to last panel. That made me giggle.
Thank you for scarring me for life.
Club Kawai?
WTF is wrong with people?
I literally screamed when I saw that.
And when I say literally, (as sad as I am that I live in a society where I have to explain this) I do mean that I in fact read this comic, screamed, and scared my roommate.
Also, huge fan, keep up the amazing work!
The best part is the look on mr fishes face
Good idea for a story, and funny page. I agree with your argument on the last page, when a character is changed from canon , or given lots of “sexy” that’s out of character,just to appeal to a larger demographic I consider that a bit of a cop out, and cheap tactic to get more sales.
I don’t find anything wrong with artists who create bishie works on their own free time. If they enjoy stylizing someone/something, why hate? It’s when corporation adds or shifts things that bugs the crap out of me.
So whatever Nier claws at turns bishonen?
……I don’t know how ashamed I should be to like this.
Oh gods, why did I click that link…
Bishie Jeffrey Dahmer! Cannot unsee! D’:
I know I have a history of preferring the pretty types, but DO NOT WANT! D:
Anime styles and their fans. I wish they were dead.
Well that’s a bit of a disproportionate reaction…
I’d call making a story-arc out of your distaste for bishies a bit disproportionate too… but to each their own.
If it weren’t for the awful hairstyle, I’d say the Commander’s change was an improvement.
I find it very amusing that BishiCommander’s outfit shows off LESS chest.
After I got over the total shock and horror of this, I have to say I was blown away by your art. You manage to make him look totally different in every way and still come off as the good ‘ol Commander.
Yay for reaction shots.
When Mr. Fish is shocked enough to change his facial expression, you know shit just got freaky.
Mr. Fish’s expression in the second to last panel is priceless. Love Mr. Fish
i like how Mr. Fish has such a wide range of emotions conveyed in his expression, including but not limited to, fear, boredom, shock, hunger, sadness, and anger.
