All right, so part of the reason I'm uploading this one is because I'm hoping the wider Danbooru community can source this properly. I have tried SauceNAO, Google Image Search, TinEye, trace.moe, and ascii2d to figure out who made this. Every single result on all of these — if there *is* a result, that is — is a repost somewhere, and is almost always a smaller resolution than the file here (which comes from GBAtemp).

The earliest verifiable date I could find was February 19, 2013, from TinEye linking to a defunct webiste called ActionBash (archive.org link), which was also just reposting it unsourced from elsewhere. This would be correct for the first panel, as Lebron was on the Heat at the time. It definitely can't be from before The Decision, which was July 8, 2010, or if you want to get speculative, November 13, 2009 when he changed his jersey number to 6 (it was 23 during his time in Cleveland in the 2000s).

Apologies for the iffy quality of the art here.

    What happened to SOP-II :(

    context?

    To answer the questions.

    Nothing. This is probably how SOP appears to those who do not know her (in this example, Suomi). In GFL's Lore, SOP is infamous for collecting parts of fallen Dolls (particularly Sangvis) , and it is shown that she had enough knowhow to patch herself together using Sangvis parts

    On top of that, her enhancement quote pre Neural Upgrade involves her saying "Christmas Tree". Enhancement involved either pills or T-Dolls to sacrifice to enhance stats. So SOP was likely in the middle of a "meal", and Suomi was looking at what she could compare to a wild, bloodthirsty dog reaching for her next meal.

    Ofc. To us SOP is a precious murderpupper. But that's the joke. It's a glance on how someone outside of AntiRain can see her.

    Ooi and Kitakami. Ooi and Kitakami. I looked back at all the Ooi posts here from the early days and you couldn’t walk a step without stumbling over a picture of Ooi clinging to Kitakami, with a lot of them depicting her as a deranged stalker. I feel like if this had been drawn in the early days, then Ooi would have explicitly been handing her gift over to Kitakami.

    You still see it, but these days you’re just as likely to see Ooi with the Admiral, maybe even more so, and scaled back from psycho to more general tsundere. And I can’t say for sure, but I also feel like it wasn’t a gradual shift, but happened pretty abruptly at some point, and I wonder what caused the change.

    She went back to her game depiction rather than the over the top obsessed anime portrayal.

    Lesbian one-sided love creepy stalker used to be a not-uncommon archetype (Ooi and Yamai Ren even have superficial design similarities)

    Thank god that's more rare these days. I really liked KTKM and Ooi back in the day so I stewed in butthurt at the extreme meme Ooi became

    I like this idea. Kinda similar to how peopel see Super Sonico. The headphones are the actual being, they’re just controlling a sexy android. There are a couple other Pokémon and Digimon scenarios like this.

    I wasn’t really that much of a of iono’s design from just the art. It’s fine.

    But actually seeing her in motion and in game she’s absolutely adorable and now I know why so many people like her.
