Dr. McNinja II: He Is A Ninja.

[Jahkaivah]

....so where were we?

[Neftren]

No, that was his last holy shuriken that broke. His sword isn't blessed and so wouldn't do anything to the ghost.

No look, in the latest comic, he's shown drawing his sword in panel 1, swings it in panel 2, panel 3 his sword looks a whole lot shorter and fragments I think are coming off, so...

Crossposting.


This brings up the question of why the good doctor even bothered to draw his sword if it isn't blessed or holy in any way.

Maybe he panicked

So... He is covered in dark smoke? can't he just call his brother to punch it?

Ooh, good one. Actually, that would have been one incredible tie-in. I would be totally floored if the Dark Smoke Puncher name was planned in advance for this to happen.

Edit: Make that 'totally floored'

If that turns out to be the case somehow, we must try and see what might be hidden in all other names.

My title was better :(

Anyways, it would be awesome if DSP drops out of the ceiling to punch smoke that is dark in shade. I can't think of an awesomer way to beat this ghost.

Yours was the other one I was heavily considering.

I chose "He Is A Ninja." because it had an awesome strip to it's name. If people want I can change it to "Dr. McNinja II: And Yet, Somehow, It All Makes Sense."

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

No worries.


Annnnnyways. An alternate amazing awesome would be for Chuck to pick up a throwing star, and use it. That would be awesome.

Thus causing a new future that went wrong due to a lack of NASAghasts, and the return of yet another Chuck Goodrich.

Ooooo, or maybe their absence means that Chuck will be unable to come back anymore for some reason because astronauts are no longer protected so the current Chuck(s) and the good doctor must come back and stop themselves from doing something here.

Oh gosh, no... you've got me started. What if Judy was secretly... something else?! Actually, you know I wouldn't mind seeing the return of the velociraptors either.

Well what I'm wondering is how the nasaghasts plan to kill Dr. McNinja. Aren't they technically still incorporeal?

No worries.

I doubt it. Remember the zombie apocalypse Chuck? He was stuck in his chair for fear of Benjamin Franklin...

I'm not sure I can stand yet another Chuck, but I think the second possibility might actually make some sense. Perhaps a future Chuck where the space program fell apart. I'm not sure how the good doctor would explain time travel with all his advanced degrees though...

That didn't stop them from killing all the other people who tried to harm astronauts...

[Neftren]

True. One possible counter would be that the Nasaghasts seem to be feared more than anything else. They could quite simply just scare the person to death. No wait, that's stupid. If my broken sword theory is true, then they are corporeal enough to kill.

[memnarch]

The holy shuriken broke when the NASAghast hit it. They can be corporeal if they want.

This guy looks a little bit worse off than 'scared to death'.

[Neftren]

This guy looks a little bit worse off than 'scared to death'.

Well, that could potentially have been the cause of death ! Besides, he looks like he's had the living daylights sucked out of him. Zombified or something.

[Jahkaivah]

Nah that is just Steve, he always seemed a bit under the weather, poor guy.

[Yuki Akuma]

...Don't ninjas have the power to, you know, punch ghosts?

Dr. McNinja does it by humming the Ghostbusters theme.

[FoE]

Doc's decided to beat the Nasaghast to death with his kidneys instead. That withered corpse look? No doubt the result of his Vitamin C deficiency finally catching up to him!

DAMN YOU DOC I TOLD YOU TO DRINK YOUR ORANGE JUICE

[TheEmerged]

You know, I had the "Dark Smoke Puncher" thing pass through my mind when I read today's page as well. We've gotten hints before than DSP is exploring "the dark arts".

Don't you mean his Tang(tm)?

[Jahkaivah]

Just noticed something:

Is that a Nasaghast behind the tree?

Yeah, I spotted that immediately. Let the rampant speculation begin!

[FoE]

It's going to be a battle in the centre of the mind.

[Neftren]

Does anyone get why the doctor is lying on the ground though, swatting at ... nothing? Last panel.

[Radar]

That's how supposedly Nasaghasts work.

[Cen]

He's eating the Nasaghasts. It's one of his moves.

[AsteriskAmp]

My guess is that the Nasaghast try to posses him and fail utterly, leading to a McNinja Punch.

[The Glyphstone]

I'm willing to bet that before this arc is over, Doc hums the ghostbusters theme again. That's exactly the sort of obscure continuity nod that Hastings loves so much.

[Flickerdart]

Eating ghosts kills you though. Unless you eat a big pill beforehand to make them turn blue. And who would have pills? A doctor.

[FoE]

His hand is lying on the ground. He isn't swatting at anything.

[DeadManSleeping]

Is it really obscure? He's referenced it multiple times in the early chapters, if I recall correctly.

In fact, I've been wondering for a while why that wasn't his go-to.
