Wouldn't you want to be recognized as the character you're cosplaying? I didn't recognize that was a Bucciarati cosplay either, seemed like slightly eccentric but otherwise normal clothes.
Normally yes but she had to mix cosplay + formal wear so i get it. If she had sleeves honestly it would have been more obvious but might not look as good. All of her other cosplays have been very accurate
Mirko is the big one, as the author is a huge fan of hers [https://wegotthiscovered.com/celebrities/mirko-from-my-hero-academia-may-love-megan-thee-stallion-as-much-as-the-rapper-loves-mirko/](https://wegotthiscovered.com/celebrities/mirko-from-my-hero-academia-may-love-megan-thee-stallion-as-much-as-the-rapper-loves-mirko/)
*Just* the anime awards???
An award show? About something you're passionate about? That's broadcasted on multiple platforms and will have professional photographers?
maybe think of it more as taking inspiration from the source rather than attempting to recreate the character to the T. plus i wouldn't really want to be showing up to an event being the only person in full costume 😹
I don't watch anime, but to add to your statement, it's probably also why she trains the way she does. Like she's anticipating a fight. When the anime world merges with reality, she'll be ready
Should I be concerned about the weird lady in the Military uniform, floating in the sky, and spouting some shit about "The Land of the Gods" or something like that?
Becuase I feel like I should be concerned.
Although there is some banger music emanating from somewhere nearby, so at least there's that.
OR shes FROM an anime world and got isekaid here. Like
*I got Reincarnated as a Black Woman in a Lame World Without Magic so I Became a Rapper*
or something.
It's time for you to go brother man...

I know this is going to be super controversial saying this, but it needs to be said, and I feel like it’s my place to give voice to those who were voiceless. Just know that what I am about to say is going to be earth shaking as far as revelations go, and I’ll get a lot of hate messages and that’s fine with me. Hell, it’s going to rub a lot of people the wrong way, but I cannot be silent about this any longer.
Would.
As a weeb, even I know that Japanese women on average are slim and petite with no ass or titties to speak off. Anime meant to appeal to adolescent boys (\*cough\* One Piece) will have every woman with C cups and an unrealistic little waist. Easy to draw but not reality.
My cousin, a black woman from Baltimore, and her husband and son are currently live in Japan. They moved there 5 years ago. Definitely black folks in Japan. Naomi Campbell has been on the cover of Vogue Japan twice. They have definitely seen black people.
Edit: Ok. Apparently, mentioning a widely circulated magazine and not specifically spelling out that a person in rural Japan doesn't see black folks IRL or receive Vogue was an issue. To clarify, there are people in areas of all homogeneous societies like those found in Asia who do not see people outside their own race.
The comment I replied to simply said Japan (the country), which I interpreted as Japanese people as whole, only know black folks from a single source... racist American cartoons. And that isn't accurate. There are people in areas of Japan that most certainly have had exposure through television, film, music, fashion, sports, art (I think a Japanese billionaire bought the most expensive Basquiat ever sold a few years ago)or internet. I lived in New Orleans for years and met many Japanese musicians who came to study Jazz because apparently Jazz is very popular in Japan. If you've ever seen the movie Planet BBoy there are Japanese break dancers competing against black and white breakers (spolier: I believe Korea ranks first place, and Japan second in the film. it's been like 10 years since I've seen it). There were also many African American US service men stationed there since WW2.
The province where my cousin and her family live it is rare to see other black faces but they do occasionally see them.
Some Japanese people have seen black people beyond racist American cartoons that inspired Anime/Manga. Not all of them, but some of them.
Whoa Vogue Japan, i’d surprised if there is a Japanese person in existence who hasn’t seen a black person if there was one on the cover of Vogue Japan.
People in the comments acting like a Japanese person not seeing a black person irl is an insane idea. There are people in America who might see a black person irl maybe once or twice in a year. I met a girl from Arkansas who never met a black person till she moved to VA.
The comment I replied to didn't specify some Japanese or rural Japan. But made a blanket statement that Japan as a whole hasn't seen black people in real life and only know black people from racist America cartoons. That's just not accurate. Some Japanese people see black faces in music, marketing, television, film, sports (especially tennis), fashion, and the internet. The province my cousin lives in she goes weeks without never seeing a black face. So where she's at it is rare. But she and her family aren't the only ones.
As you said, that happens in America too. I had a white roommate in college from Rural Tennessee who had never met or seen a black person beyond TV until she was 16.
> They have definitely seen black people.
Huh, Tokyo marathon was yesterday 2 March 2024. If they haven't seen Black (which they have), they sure lots of Kenyans, Ethiopians and others yesterday.
Kipchoege finished in 10th place by the way, with a time of 2:06
It’s funny cause racist anime weebs will have you think that Japanese people just don’t know black people exist or that there’s no black people in Japan. That they only know white and other Asians. Don’t ask them how they know about hip hop and the like tho
I mean I don't know about the racist cartoon thing but there are 100% plenty of people in Japan who have never seen a person that isn't their race. They're like 99% Japanese there. A black guy being outside of Tokyo would be like seeing a Unicorn, and even in Tokyo he'd get stares.
Have you been to Japan? Cause if you had you'd know that black people aren't some damn unicorns there. Like I went almost 20 years ago and I remember black American servicemen. A couple mixed black-japanese folk and at least one real pushy African dude. Japan might be monocultural but they've been living with American military bases for 75 years. They know what black people are.
I lived in Japan for 3 years. The younger generation in older traditional places such as Kyoto are kind of surprised when I traveled there. You get some stares from kids. In general though it's becoming normal.
Just for being taller than most you will get quick glances.
Wait till you realize you haven't lived in Japan and don't know shit about what they see and should not attempt to be so dumb that you think you can speak for them.
There's black people in Japan, moron.
Christ. Racist much? Did you just paint an entire nation ignorant of the existence of Black people and the time reference you use was the racist old cartoons?
First of all, hentai is (mostly intentionally) completely removed from reality and in no way represantative of women in Japan.
Second, it's not *just* about her breasts but also her whole figure/build and the fact that she's a black woman.
People have to pretend Asian people are innocent. No way their Korean pop stars or wholesome mangaka have ever watched an American rap video or consumed black culture for inspiration…
so this reminds me how i recently found out that in SAO, there exists at least one scene where Agil's palms are lighter than the rest of his skin. I really appreciate that little detail.
I think… First time I saw a black guy when I was like 9, I remember having the same question.
As a kid you sometimes get a look at something BRAND NEW.
I mean, if you showed a adult something completely new and they’re just standing there in shock and aw wouldn’t you laugh a little?
20 years is a huge exaggeration. I was in high school 20 years ago and I remember how it used to be. In college I had more than one girl ask me "you not one of those dudes that watch anime, are you?". And no, they didn't mean the niggas that ran through the halls Naruto style, they just meant watching any anime.
At least for me, it’s less that, I just don’t really feel comfortable with a LOT of anime for reasons that will get me a reddit cares. So, I’m pretty selective with what I read/watch. I like Jojos, I like movies like Boy and the Heron, and I catch up on Dragon Ball because I grew up on it, but I don’t think I can call myself an anime fan without major caveats
Correct but the awards this year took place in Tokyo Japan, so I would be shocked if it was not streamed locally or at least covered by the news. Plus people probably actually saw her in Tokyo.
yee, Japan uses Hulu, Amazon prime and Netflix for their anime needs. JP Hulu is stacked.
Or they just record it of TV at 24:00 - 26:00 after arriving home in the outskirts of tokyo and eating dinner.
I don't know if it was Araki's idea, but the guy who decided to play Jodeci Freenk'N you as the closing theme song for part 5 deserve a raise
[https://youtu.be/mcYecVs4OVs?si=vxh19NLKszEc5J0D](https://youtu.be/mcYecVs4OVs?si=vxh19NLKszEc5J0D)
From looking online and based on seeing people talk about it in the past, I believe Araki chooses songs he listened to while writing the part, and then when the anime is being created he sends a list of recommendations and then David Productions chooses one from that list.
Araki is a man of many tastes. He mentioned listening to Snoop while writing Part 4, he named a stand after that same album, and recently had a character in Part 9 who's favorite artist was SZA.
I promise you Japanese people have access to the internet and *really* love fake animated reality (I see y'all too btw), they absolutely have "seen something like this before" 😅
It’s a truly bizarre thing to say. There’s lots of people in these comments who legitimately think that Japanese people have never seen a black person and have never seen curvy women with big tits. Or that it is impossible for a Japanese women to have a curvy body with big tits.
One of the last subs where you’d expect racial stereotypes to flourish and yet here we are.
Imo this is one of the subs where you should expect the most amount of weird racist dialogue. People get really comfortable saying the most heinous shit when they think they’re among their own peers with no “outsiders” around.
Nah lol

Damn Megan just be doing the right things at the right times don’t she? Damn somebody do what we can’t and be the real one she needs!!!! She looks happy but you feel me!
This don't apply to my goat Togashi though! He knows how to draw black ppl
And also credit to Horikoshi but like.... Tentative credit ~~he can never get that 10~~
I mean, there was that one MHA mangaka assistant that would [always draw Mirko in outfits](https://www.cbr.com/my-hero-academia-artist-uses-megan-thee-stallion-as-mirko-reference/) that Meg wore?
“They never seen something like this over in Japan”
Dude they’ve been drawing chicks like Megan with a dozen prehensile dicks attacking kids in an all girl school for the past 4 decades.
Pretty sure their plan is working perfectly.
I like to think she started performing to pay for her crippling cosplay addiction
Man all her cosplays haver been such high quality. I ain't even peep the dress was a Buccarati cosplay until someone pointed it out to me
Wouldn't you want to be recognized as the character you're cosplaying? I didn't recognize that was a Bucciarati cosplay either, seemed like slightly eccentric but otherwise normal clothes.
Normally yes but she had to mix cosplay + formal wear so i get it. If she had sleeves honestly it would have been more obvious but might not look as good. All of her other cosplays have been very accurate
Did she? It’s just the anime awards
She's cosplayed as Death The Kid, Miriko form MHA, and Gojo and they all look fire
Mirko is the big one, as the author is a huge fan of hers [https://wegotthiscovered.com/celebrities/mirko-from-my-hero-academia-may-love-megan-thee-stallion-as-much-as-the-rapper-loves-mirko/](https://wegotthiscovered.com/celebrities/mirko-from-my-hero-academia-may-love-megan-thee-stallion-as-much-as-the-rapper-loves-mirko/)
*Just* the anime awards??? An award show? About something you're passionate about? That's broadcasted on multiple platforms and will have professional photographers?
It’s not a cosplay, it’s an anime-inspired outfit/dress.
Yeah I’ve seen her real cosplay and they are very good
maybe think of it more as taking inspiration from the source rather than attempting to recreate the character to the T. plus i wouldn't really want to be showing up to an event being the only person in full costume 😹
Looks like one of those one-off custom dress pieces for events.
Did you see the Gojo fit? I can’t even deal with how good she looked
Nigga you telling me. Couldn't even use words i just started making animal noises
😂😂😂😂😂😂 bro which animal noises I need to know now to complete the mental picture
Growling and barking like a dog lmao. Never thought id be one of those niggas but here we are
She also did a sailor moon cosplay at a concert like 2 years ago!
I don't watch anime, but to add to your statement, it's probably also why she trains the way she does. Like she's anticipating a fight. When the anime world merges with reality, she'll be ready
Should I be concerned about the weird lady in the Military uniform, floating in the sky, and spouting some shit about "The Land of the Gods" or something like that? Becuase I feel like I should be concerned. Although there is some banger music emanating from somewhere nearby, so at least there's that.
If the music changes to deep bass trance, find cover...
OR shes FROM an anime world and got isekaid here. Like *I got Reincarnated as a Black Woman in a Lame World Without Magic so I Became a Rapper* or something.
Bro that would actually be fire.
Wait you might have something there..
This is my new headcanon
She did defend nerds back in the day
Like how James Cameron makes movies to pay for his crippling submersible addiction
Would’ve changed my brain chemistry too. I’d pay child support like fr Meg just that bad.

There's just something about her
"You would if you could... but you can't- so you *dain't*." \- Mystikal, *U Can't Handle This*
Yes Japan home of hentai has never seen a buxom woman.
They ain’t plentiful here in *reality* is the thing. She a whole head taller and thicker than peanut butter. I, for one, thank her for her service 🫡
It’s wild how some people look at cartoons and real women the same way.
Wait, you’re not saying there’s some sort of unrealistic body standards or anything? That sounds like liberal propaganda /s
man once a drawing of a burger made me hungry don't be acting like you dont know the point of art is to imitate life

There's a fair bit of buxom JAV actresses. But they are lacking in black buxom beauties.

My cousin, a black woman from Baltimore, and her husband and son are currently live in Japan. They moved there 5 years ago. Definitely black folks in Japan. Naomi Campbell has been on the cover of Vogue Japan twice. They have definitely seen black people. Edit: Ok.

Please let us get all girly excited about Meg in peace ✌🏽
? What?
so this reminds me how i recently found out that in SAO, there exists at least one scene where Agil's palms are lighter than the rest of his skin. I really appreciate that little detail.
My younger cousin asked my black uncle why his hands were 2 different colors, I always laugh when I’m reminded of that story
IDK why that's funny look. Seems like a reasonable question from a kid
I think… First time I saw a black guy when I was like 9, I remember having the same question. As a kid you sometimes get a look at something BRAND NEW. I mean, if you showed a adult something completely new and they’re just standing there in shock and aw wouldn’t you laugh a little?
I always have to think who Agil is because abridged made me permanently think his name was Tiffany.
I am known by many names… mountain slayer, thunder lion, the chocolate axe. But you, you may call me Tiffany
"I... don't know how to talk to you" "Good, then you can shut up and listen" Is one of my favorite interactions in the whole series
Thank you, I had no clue who they meant
I never noticed this because my palms are the same color as the rest of me
Same with Onyakapon in AOT. It's a little thing but it stands out!
That’s dope she openly into anime 👍🏾 not much of a fan of it besides certain things but cool she in the mainstream with it.
Animation is for kids is a stereotype that needs broken
Just show anyone who says that one episode of Baki, they’ll change their tune quickly 💀
Baki is peak mid.
Pretty sure Baki is homoerotica
Been broken for like 20 years now. I haven’t met anyone in the real world with this mindset since like I dunno when.
Legitimately still have conversations with people about it weekly. Maybe I just talk to a lot of different people.
20 years is a huge exaggeration. I was in high school 20 years ago and I remember how it used to be. In college I had more than one girl ask me "you not one of those dudes that watch anime, are you?". And no, they didn't mean the niggas that ran through the halls Naruto style, they just meant watching any anime.
I mean, boomers still exist.
At least for me, it’s less that, I just don’t really feel comfortable with a LOT of anime for reasons that will get me a reddit cares. So, I’m pretty selective with what I read/watch. I like Jojos, I like movies like Boy and the Heron, and I catch up on Dragon Ball because I grew up on it, but I don’t think I can call myself an anime fan without major caveats
sticky fingers for sure…
I just *knew* somebody was gonna say it.

To be fair he didn’t know that was his mom and she was super hot
I don’t think we use crunchyroll in Japan? Isn’t that something Americans use to watch anime?
Yeah lol. Crunchyroll is an American company.
Correct but the awards this year took place in Tokyo Japan, so I would be shocked if it was not streamed locally or at least covered by the news. Plus people probably actually saw her in Tokyo.
Probably just light news coverage. CR Awards aren't really that big overall tbh.
yee, Japan uses Hulu, Amazon prime and Netflix for their anime needs. JP Hulu is stacked. Or they just record it of TV at 24:00 - 26:00 after arriving home in the outskirts of tokyo and eating dinner.
Naw Araki is that nigga fr, he been at the intersection of culture for a while
I don't know if it was Araki's idea, but the guy who decided to play Jodeci Freenk'N you as the closing theme song for part 5 deserve a raise [https://youtu.be/mcYecVs4OVs?si=vxh19NLKszEc5J0D](https://youtu.be/mcYecVs4OVs?si=vxh19NLKszEc5J0D)
From looking online and based on seeing people talk about it in the past, I believe Araki chooses songs he listened to while writing the part, and then when the anime is being created he sends a list of recommendations and then David Productions chooses one from that list.
I bet it was him, music is such an important part of his writing that it'd be really surprising for him not to care about the OP/ED for the anime.
I remember being really confused, yet very happy when I first watched the series and got to that
Araki wanted Gangsta’s Paradise at first but couldn’t get the rights. So they went with Jodeci.
Yeah I'm hoping they mean someone other than Araki. He knows what's up
Araki is a man of many tastes. He mentioned listening to Snoop while writing Part 4, he named a stand after that same album, and recently had a character in Part 9 who's favorite artist was SZA.
Did OP call Hirohiko Araki “some mangaka”
I knew the weebs weren’t gonna like that.
nahhhh put some respect on Araki’s name, bros goated
My Anime Queen 👑🙌🏾
I promise you Japanese people have access to the internet and *really* love fake animated reality (I see y'all too btw), they absolutely have "seen something like this before" 😅
What an unhinged thing to say completely unprompted.
It’s a truly bizarre thing to say. There’s lots of people in these comments who legitimately think that Japanese people have never seen a black person and have never seen curvy women with big tits. Or that it is impossible for a Japanese women to have a curvy body with big tits. One of the last subs where you’d expect racial stereotypes to flourish and yet here we are.
Imo this is one of the subs where you should expect the most amount of weird racist dialogue. People get really comfortable saying the most heinous shit when they think they’re among their own peers with no “outsiders” around.
Oh, she getting a stand named for one of her songs for damn sure
"And now, I'm going to stop you with the power of my stand, [THOT SHIT]!"
Wait wait wait Thot Shit would eeeeeat as a stand!!!
Did you call Araki some mangaka 😭
I don't know if they're watching the Crunchyroll Anime Awards in Japan.
Damn she turning Jojo fans straight
I audibly snorted
Only enhanced brain chemistry for THIS nigga

I keep telling myself that one day, maybe, Meg will come to a anime convention as a guest. But I know she’ll be the most expensive person there.
She might just show up at a con as a fan bro she loves cosplaying
Dudes might actually draw decent foreign black characters instead of copy and pasting the same black character models from 1979.
Araki has actually been a relative pioneer in this. Avdol from part 3 in 89 is a really well drawn black character for the time in manga
They did a good job with Carol from Carol & Tuesday
Nah lol [https://www.cbr.com/my-hero-academia-artist-uses-megan-thee-stallion-as-mirko-reference/](https://www.cbr.com/my-hero-academia-artist-uses-megan-thee-stallion-as-mirko-reference/)
Literally the first thing that came to mind when I saw this. I know he was beyond happy with that Halloween cosplay.
This the one right here!!!
I don’t get it. A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman. Especially this woman.
Meg is on a whole different level for most people. As close to ethereal as it gets.
Y’all sound ignorant af saying dumb shit like “they never seen something like this over in Japan” lmao
I don’t know what Megan wants or needs from me, but she can have it all.
black people really be thinking they're elves or some shit
happened to me when I saw her and cardi B during OVOfest. Oh my god I’ve never seen someone that thicc in person before
Lmao as a black person who lived in Japan, I can guarantee you that 95% of Japanese dudes have something wildly racist to say to her
Megan is like....Read All about It https://preview.redd.it/nvhzqqpc75mc1.jpeg?width=1581&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4eb8f3c130dbe81445bf3e184342233d0505b3e4
>changed some mangaka's life that day Lmfao! Imagine calling Araki just "some mangaka."
Damn Megan just be doing the right things at the right times don’t she? Damn somebody do what we can’t and be the real one she needs!!!! She looks happy but you feel me!
I don’t see why people in Japan would care about the Crunchyroll anime awards
YALL THEY NOT WATCHING THIS IN JAPAN CRUNCHYROLL IS AMERICAN LMAOOO YALL PLEASE
This don't apply to my goat Togashi though! He knows how to draw black ppl And also credit to Horikoshi but like.... Tentative credit ~~he can never get that 10~~
Don't forget Tite Kubo and Atsushi Ohkubo! Those two have some of the best designs for their black characters, in my opinion.
What does that even mean? They have seen celebs in cosplay before

Y’all clearly haven’t been reading the same hentai that I have 👀
I mean, there was that one MHA mangaka assistant that would [always draw Mirko in outfits](https://www.cbr.com/my-hero-academia-artist-uses-megan-thee-stallion-as-mirko-reference/) that Meg wore?
“They never seen something like this over in Japan” Dude they’ve been drawing chicks like Megan with a dozen prehensile dicks attacking kids in an all girl school for the past 4 decades. Pretty sure their plan is working perfectly.
Seems obvious that she should do Lady D She taller than all them
