1,000 signiture Petition to Bring Back Blackbelt
 

Remember when Blackbelt was split into two? and BM turned one of them into stone and tossed him in a dump?

Do you think it would be Possible For White mage following herr oath to return to Corneria and Purify him?

I really liked black belt.

Maybe I should set up a petition to Bring Back Black belt:
1,000 signitures (or posts) to Bring Back Black Belt by New Years Day
And No Spam

Post to bring back BB by popular demand

In before thread closure!! :D

Meanwhile, some funneh...

White Mage drags in the statue of Black Belt before Ken at the dojo where Black Belt was trained.... (apologies to Monty Python)


WM: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.

(The owner does not respond.)

WM: 'Ello, Miss?

Ken: What do you mean "miss"?

WM: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!

Ken: We're closin' for lunch.

WM: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this Black Belt what I hired not half an hour ago from this very dojo.

Ken: Oh yes, the, uh, the stupid one...What's,uh...What's wrong with him?

WM: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with him!

Ken: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.

WM: Look, matey, I know a dead Black Belt when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.

Ken: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable student, the Black Belt, idn'it, ay? Beautiful technique!

WM: The technique don't enter into it. He's stone dead.

Ken: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!

WM: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up!

(shouting at the statue)

'Ello, Mister Black Belt! I've got a lovely fresh sushi for you if you show...(owner hits the statue)

Ken: There, he moved!

WM: No, he didn't, that was you hitting him!

Ken: I never!!

WM: Yes, you did!

Ken: I never, never did anything...

WM: (yelling and hitting the cage repeatedly) 'ELLO BLACK BELT!!!!!

Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!

(Smashes statue with her hammer. Reaches into a pocket and pulls out the ashes of the Black Belt Kary fried and lets them fall to the floor.)

WM: Now that's what I call a dead Black belt.

Ken: No, no.....No, 'e's stunned!

WM: STUNNED?!?

Ken: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Black belts stun easily, miss.

WM: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That Black Belt is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged fight.

Ken: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.

WM: PININ' for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?

Ken: The Black Belt prefers kippin' on it's back! Remarkable bird, id'nit, squire? Lovely technique!

WM: Look, I took the liberty of examining that parrot when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been standing in the first place was that it had been NAILED there.

(pause)

Ken: Well, o'course he was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed him down, he would VOOM! and run off!

WM: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!

Ken: No no! 'E's pining!

WM: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This Black Belt is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker!

'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the pedestal 'e'd be pushing up the daisies!
'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig!
'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!

THIS IS AN EX-BLACK BELT!!

Counterpoint to first post -- link and quote: Sorry, man. Dead people stay dead sometimes. You can also look through these in a spare moment. And knowing Brian, the best course of action to bring him back would be a petition to leave him dead.

I don't think I agree with this.

I do agree that Black Belt wasn't given enough to make everyone like him by, though I guess his death makes us remember him more. Maybe a prequel mini-series or a "Black Belt in heaven", but reintroducing him to the comic just wouldn't be right, unless there's a very good reason. His death was handled perfectly(take that, Bendis).

The truth is, in Final Fantasy games, characters do die. In RPGs, they die too.

Actually, if Black Belt died, wouldn't someone else be born with another character being "Played" by Black Belt?

But not in comics, not ever in comics.

Spoilers
I mean at the moment we've had Uncle Ben, Red Hood AND Bucky come back to life. If they can do it, Black Belt sure can.

Of course having said that, I've got no real wish to see Black Belt back because I trust Brian's storyline will be better because of it.

What!? Damn that's stupid. No wonder they started Ultimate Marvel...

The only was Black Belt's coming back is by flashbacks. That's stated by The Man himself. Some things readers can't change. This is one of them.

I messed up there. By Red Hood I meant Robin II (aka Jason todd who was beaten to death with a crowbar and then blown up). Red Hood is his new name.

though to be fair,.. the point about the stone BB is a good one,...
Can you imagine the look on BM face :)

Well, the main thing that was stupid was having Uncle Ben coming back to life. How did that even WORK? His death was the whole reason for Spiderman's character, really.
