The line says "Kyou, kono toki kara". It means "Today, from this time".
Thanks, I see it now :'0! I'm not very good with deciphering blurryness. I think "from today on/from now on" sounds more natural in English though, but you are right.

@Musashi: I really loved your summary about RocketShipping and especially that you really focused just on the big changes their bond had make. It is good to see the development of their relationship.
And I loved their appeal, it was really amazing,
a doodle for you! James is obviously in PJ's :'Y Jess is in her bra? idk? Meowth is in the background not sure what to think of the snuggle, haha.
Do you want the possible Grand Festival shippyness to be dialogue-heavy or an "action speaks louder than words" thing?
As much as I'd love something that the dub couldn't mess up, I'd really prefer a dialogue hint(s). IMO, they have much more meaning since it's the kind of thing you can't really debate hint wise. I prefer direct shippyness that's obvious to everyone. :-D
Oh, I almost forgot about it! Thanks for reminding it. I hope that Kojiro (and Nyasu ) will play some more significant role in her 5th ribbon episode. Especially Kojiro, since it looks like she's going to get her last ribbon with his Manene, hopefully. If it happens, the episode will be about team effort, not only Musashi's. Something like in DP163, only even better, since she's winning last ribbon.But remember what Musashi said during the two parter where Hikari got her final ribbon. Before the Contest started, she said something about "the Rocket-Dan becoming one". They aren't entirely about her anymore, but as a team. Team episodes do tend to be on the shippy side since the writers finally get to spend time on the bond they all have with each other.
Oh, you wrote it arleady, I haven't noticed xD;I think Tomioka will continue to expand upon this Contests being a team thing even more once we get to the 5th ribbon/Grand Festival. Things can only get better from here.
Oh, me likes surprises *claps her hands* Good ones, of course xDI also agree on loving all the unexpected hints we get. As much I love spoiling myself, it is more fun to get an unexpected hint since we don't have time to build it up in our heads only to be disappointed first.
Sorry that I ignored it yesterday, but I didn't have time, considering that I'd surely felt an urge to reply to all other stuff if I tried to post on this. But it's been replied to arleady, so okI was browsing Rocketshipping pictures and found this scan:
Anyone know what they say? I only know they aren't saying each others' sames. And for a Hinoarashi focused episode that was something special. xD Reminds me of DP143 (where Hikari got a Hinoarashi too, weird) in a way...
Yeah, me too, bu when I thought more about it, I kinda raised my hopes up for the 5th ribbon. 4th ribbon wasn't supposed to be episode focused on her anyway. So, maybe they're saving something really great for the 5th ribbon :3 But, if her 5th ribbon is goinf to be full contest episode, it's practically a given that Tomioka is going to write it. It's not bad, considering that he likes RocketshippingThan I was a little bit disappointed about the recent episode...it was really awesome that Jessie won another ribbon and that Seviper got a little focus and succsess as well. And I loved their appeal, it was really amazing, but the main focus was really boring, and we couldn't see anything of Sevipers battle =(
Sure, until she wins, the focus should be on her, but then she's gonna get congratulations from her friends and that's when it's perfect time for Rocketshipping!I really hope, when she gets her fifth ribbon the main focus is just on Jessie, she deserves it. After all, she never got the focus completely when she won a ribbon.
Hey Dana, nice to see you here againI know I didn't post as much in the old thread, but I'm hoping to break tradition and post here when I can.
It depends on a hint we could possibly get I'm ok with either way, but I think that dialogue is more possible in this episode. Especially if they won't have too many opportunities to touch each other. I can see Kojiro cheering on her, and congratulating her and saying that he's proud of her (I'd be really happy if he said that). Maybe we get a joy hug / handhold, who knows.There could always be something like that in the Grand Festival: if not a really shippy line, then at least some sweet gesture to make her feel better. I'm sure Kojiro will think of something cute. I actually want it to be something animation-wise, because then there's a smaller chance the dub writers would ruin it, lol. Hmm, maybe we could have a topic about this:
Do you want the possible Grand Festival shippyness to be dialogue-heavy or an "action speaks louder than words" thing?
Aww, how cute! <3 I love the way Kojiro's snuggling <3Woah, new thread.
I was already confused with the brand new layout xD I had to check a few times to see if I was on the right site.
Anyways I been gone a few days, I came as a newbie so some of you might not know me ;; haha..
Anyways, upon my return back home from camp I decided to bring you guys a gift.
a doodle for you! James is obviously in PJ's :'Y Jess is in her bra? idk? Meowth is in the background not sure what to think of the snuggle, haha.
I probably got the colors wrong, but I blame the yellow/orange lighting.
Below is the sketch.
Yeah, I wonder why he never did anything like that again? The comfort scene in "Good 'Quil Hunting" was sooooo awesome <3Man, I wish Yonemura would write great stuff like that again. :-( That was such a sweet moment.
What would we do without youThanks. I'm planning on updating the post as big events happen. Not only will it be easier for all of us to keep track, but new people can get a quick summery of Rocketshipping.
You mean that Japanese is obvious? ;DAs much as I'd love something that the dub couldn't mess up, I'd really prefer a dialogue hint(s). IMO, they have much more meaning since it's the kind of thing you can't really debate hint wise. I prefer direct shippyness that's obvious to everyone. :-D
Really, the mix of hug + nice dialogue would be the best combination xD Is it just my wishful thinking?To answer my topic, I would personally prefer it to be a physical thing this time (if we were ridiculously lucky, there could be blushing!). But to think of it, it would make more sense if Kojiro's words made Musashi feel better. Anything goes, but I think we deserve a nice new hug.
And what do you mean by direct shippyness?
Yeah, DP117 was blatant, but yet, it had its magic. Just perfect for me.DP117 is what I meant. I just thought of it as a dialogue hint that everyone (even non shippers) seem to agree on. But yeah, I guess there were actions to.
It's complicated and I'm not sure if I can explain it right. You know, nowadays, young Japanese just say simply "Aishiteru" or "Daisuki/suki da" 'cause it's cool and all. But it's really a western fashion to speak like that.And what did you learn about "I love you" in Japan? I'd be interested to hear that.
Awww, I love that picture, it is just too cute <3
That is definitely one of my favorite shippy moments. The first time I saw that episode and Kojiro took her hands my heart almost exploded and I couldn't stop smiling for awhile (although that tends to happen with every shippy moment)
It was just too sweet because Kojiro showed so much concern for Musashi's well being in that little moment.

Hi Tuska!
I totally forgot about Princess Vs Princess! And that's another moment where Kojiro expressed his concern over Musashi And yes, I agree with you I think his actions do speak louder than words sometimes in his attitudes about the contests. Showing his support through cheering is good enough to understand how much he supports her now.

Actually we didn't even get that. All we saw was it coming out of its ball.
but how about both dialogue and action speak louder than words? I know, that would be too much to ask for, wouldn't it? Hehe
Yeah, me too, bu when I thought more about it, I kinda raised my hopes up for the 5th ribbon. 4th ribbon wasn't supposed to be episode focused on her anyway.

That's why DP117 was so awesome. It had both actions and dialoque :3
Jeska, thank you for explaining that. It makes me love DP117 even more. Even if it's just cultural difference, the Japanese version of love seems so romantic to me... I just realized that that is one of the reasons why I like the Japanese version of Pocket Monsters so much.
You're right, this is a great example what I miss nowadays. Back then we got cute stuff in episodes with non Rocket focus as well... it's a shame the writer don't gave us such cute sidestories like in EP142 anymore.
BTW, when was the turning point? When Jessie won her first ribbon? I can't quiet remember.
Woah, new thread.

This can be debated, but IMO this was the turning point:
http://www.freewebs.com/rocketshipper/undefined/DP123_1.jpg
This was two Contests after her second ribbon, so I believe it was Kojiro realizing that her ribbon wins weren't flukes that things changed.
And if anyone wants a rundown of Musashi's Contests thus far, I'm keeping track here. Not entirely Rocketshippy related, but it really shows Musashi's progress.
I agree with Meron. I never realized just how romantic the Japanese language could be either, and it also makes me appreciate the lines we do get.
I disagree. Just look at Contests if you think we don't get good stuff in non Rocket episodes nowadays.

Wow, Amu-chan... Sudden sig/avvy change is sudden. I like it!
...And speaking of signatures...Am I the only one amused by my own signature? *Lawnmowergirl thinks James is bisexual*
Erm...well, anyways, in honor of the new thread...here's something I drew several years ago...halfway through drawing the hearts in the background I realized I didn't like the way they looked...so the background is sort of an epic fail. But otherwise I think it looks okay.
How can something that I made up for the heck of it be old, though? I've never seen anyone else saying it or anything...James being Bisexual is so old.
I luv that pic!!
Why didnt you show it! D:!!
I just love it alot >.<!!
You're welcome ^^Jeska, thank you for explaining that. It makes me love DP117 even more. <3 And they did say real Japanese double suicide lines in the CD drama, remember?
It seems romantic to me as well, yet many people regard them as cold-hearted since they're so reserved about their feelings... But yeah, it's just cultural difference, and that's it.Even if it's just cultural difference, the Japanese version of love seems so romantic to me...
I don't think so ;-) I can see it happenWould it be too strong if they confessed that the other makes his/her life much happier?
I'm glad ^^Musashi said:I agree with Meron. I never realized just how romantic the Japanese language could be either, and it also makes me appreciate the lines we do get.
To me, any person isn't bisexual as long as they show any hint of it - that is, showing affection towards both sexes....And speaking of signatures...Am I the only one amused by my own signature? *Lawnmowergirl thinks James is bisexual*

I'm sorry that you got such a feeling, but it's not our intention. The thread is going fast and Rocketshipping is serious business, so it can't be helped.Y'know... I sometimes have gotten intimidated by the RocketShipping community here at BMGf... everyone knows all the Japanese names and the writers and animation directors by heart, and sometimes I can't keep up with what's going on because it becomes a huge conversation between a small number of people who are extremely in the know, and me just trying to keep track of things and feeling ignored, sort of. I don't mean to sound whiny or anything., I'm just saying... I dunno what I'm saying, actually.
You're welcome ^^
Yes, of course I remember These lines were based on "Sonezaki shinjuu" by Chikamatsu Monzaemon.
It seems romantic to me as well, yet many people regard them as cold-hearted since they're so reserved about their feelings... But yeah, it's just cultural difference, and that's it.
It's funny how Musashi and Kojiro are written all Japanese-y when it comes to , yet they don't see a problem about touching each other (I mean the post I wrote in the old thread last week).
This is so... confusing. And interesting, really
I don't think so ;-) I can see it happen
I'm glad ^^

But I see you don't take it seriously, it's ok to have a little fun xD
Cute fanart I believe I've seen it arleady somewhere...

If you don't know something, just ask - you won't be ignored for sure (and no one will eat you)! ;-)
I was a complete noob when I came here as well. It just takes some time to learn some things, but nothing is impossible to a willing mind ;-)
And you know, RG didn't make her site in vain. It takes an hour or two to read the content on her page and you know just everything what are we talking about. She spends a lot of time on various activities that help newbies (f.e. read her first post on this page...). You can't call that ignoring, really ^^; Especially if you didn't ask us about anything.
I always connect the organization to the final of the anime; In my preference Musashi and Kojiro hear that Rocket-dan has finally quit the whole business, and they decide to continue their lives other ways. Musashi may continue to do contests, and Kojiro would continue traveling with her (before that he would say the romantic things I mentioned earlier). Dunno about Nyasu, I myself wouldn't mind if he went on his own journey...I've also been sitting on this theory as to why Giovanni hasn't fired the team yet. It's not really rocketshippy so I'm not sure if I can talk about it here but I'd rather discuss it with like minded individuals.
