gintama using the elder as weapon

2:18 AM

anyone know if there is an old movie which predates these?

►

Gitama is old but suspecting that maybe Gitama got the idea of using people as weapons from some old black and white movie

2:53 AM

@Memor-X Are you looking for a trope?

@NogShine more origin

@Memor-X Origin of the trope hitting a man with another man?

@NogShine yeh

@Memor-X How old is this gif?

@NogShine from 2004 but Gitama showed it must earlier

3:02 AM

Which weapon did Gitama use?

i suspect they got it from one black and white TV show since Gitama does have a whole bunch of references from both japan and the west

@NogShine in the clip it shows they broke the "Elder" in half and used each half as a weapon but later in the episode the girl has the "Demon Lord" where she's holding the Demon Lord by the foot using him as a sword

like i think it was in that episode where they were getting the latest console because you know, when aliens invade the world, everyone in Edo Japan is wanting the new console like it's an iPhone or something

Doctor Who is a pretty old series going back to 1963. I have not watched any of it, but it looks very promising. The age of this series is slightly scary and I am thinking about watching later series only. How far back do I need to watch for the continuity to make sense. Can I drop all the epi...

@Memor-X . . . It's a boy name in Arabic. That's so messed up.

I won't ever get over that name if she's going to be introduced in Mister Doctor 2.

@AnkitSharma - thanks for the Dr Who link. It was the Q I'd have asked, but didn't think it would be on topic, and certainly didn't know it was asked.

@Memor-X Only anime or any movie?

@NogShine in past it did
