![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Not weird enough? Apparently Riki’s sudden urge to fight is the result of trans-dimensional strangeness, because Riki is actually the Earth-born counterpart of Byoudo, an all around intergalactic badass and the Master of the Dark Realm. That was how a person tendered their resignation back then. Riki wants to be the greatest and most unconventional fighter in the world, but to do that he first has to slip the shackles of the traditional martial arts styles, so out comes the leopard mask and down go his fellow club members. Not clear enough? Well, this anime (based off of the manga by Shinichi Kuruma) begins with high school hero and lovable ne’er-do-well Riki Hyoudo donning a leopard mask and knocking out every member of his school’s karate club. To help clarify the difference between two works with such similar names, it’s easiest to refer to this anime by its full title: Legend of the True Devils: Battle Royal High School. About the only elements that Battle Royal High School and the other property with the flowery ‘e’ on the end have in common are teenage protagonists and graphic violence. This phrase could be the mantra of Battle Royal High School, not to be confused with Battle Royale, the book by Koushun Takami, or Battle Royale, the movie adaptation of that book directed by the inimitable Kinji Fukasaku. ![]() Sometimes the only response to the existence of something stupefying is to shrug your shoulders and say: “Hey, it was the Eighties.” ![]() ![]() ![]() Theodorus Meliteniota, in his Prooemium in Astronomiam, mentions commentaries on the Magna Syntaxis of Ptolemy by the philosopher Syrianus. Syrianus also wrote works on The Theology of Orpheus, and On the Harmony of Orpheus, Pythagoras and Plato with the Oracles. We learn from the commentary of Proclus on the Timaeus of Plato that Syrianus also wrote a commentary on the same book.
