Undeniable proof.
Toshubi on Oct. 19, 2007
What would it take to get you to trust a race of people whom you've only known to cause death and misery in thier wake? How would that group of people be able to earn your forgivness?
If you're reading this line of text, it means that I still haven't gotten a computer. I will post updates of Blade of Toshubi as soon as I get a computer that I can scan, color and letter the comic on.
I am very depressed, and it's very tempting to just throw my hands in the air and give up. But you know what? I won't let my fans down, and I won't give my ex-wife the fucking pleasure! (Yes, I cursed. Sue me!)
Thanks to Ickus, (My girlfriend) Dragonzilla, (My roomate & Inker) Kali, Magical Misfits, Confused Soul, Byakko, Mutation, Faithie, Krensada, Jilly Foo, Raziel, MOrgan, Tea Green, Valavor, Peipei, Super Maths Beaver, Chay Chan, RM Cool, Draco, Error, Simpan, Custard Trout, Poki Rat, Mort, Rich, Sakura, LilDarkDragon, Lord of the games, Sandy, Animegal, Souris, Lothar, Dragonki, Rubygem, Mylar, and all my fans that come and read this comic… I will continue to draw pages for this comic.
When I put B.O.T. up on DD a little over a year ago, I didn't think people would like the story or artwork, (A typical ninja revenge story.). But as time went on and more and more people started to comment on the page, I realized that I had found more than a home for my comic to reside… I found several new friends as well. I want to thank you all for being there for me. And as long as I can hold a pencil, I will keep making you comic pages.
THANK YOU!
P.S. I apologize for the messed up sentances on this page. By the time I spotted them I had sold my computer and couldn't fix them. T.T

You make an absolutely wonderfull comic, but my saying that (in chorus with plenty of other people here) feels to me kind of empty. I know your art is great and i can give you a great thumbs up and hope that you keep working and making more, but i kind of feel selfish by saying this without telling you that i wish that life would treet you a little better. I mean, i can write to you in your comments, i can tell you what a great job you are doing but is there some way for me to acctually DO something to help you out? Chalk it up to my condition of being horribly atticted to your work but is there any way i can commission you for something? like circulate your curriculum or something like that?

Toshubi: Ouch. You have had the worst of luck then and still no luck on the job front? Thank you for taking my first comment on this page so well, I hope I didn't sound too angry...

Responces: (When your unemployed, you tend to get REALLY bored!) Dragonki: Thanks fer the 5. Master Chief Rules: As far as I am conserned, I welcome any comments and complaints that my readers may have. (It lets me know I'm reaching some part of you.) Alegya: Thanks fer the 5. Ickus: Ah yes! Many a time you have stepped in and said. "Isn't that just a little too mean for Reiko?" Dragonzilla has also managed to give me the "Evil eye" too from time to time. Rubygem: Thanks fer the 5. Master Chief Rules: My apologies if I'm being to hard on your gender. I know that not all females are manipulative, but please take this into consideration... Out of all the girlfriends I have had, over 80% have used manipulation for thier own benifit. (Lying, pretending to be happy or sad, using crying as a means to get whatever they wanted, ect.) And though I am aware that not every female on the planet uses her female charms for selfish reasons, my personel experience shows that most do. But I do value your input and I will try to keep the "bashing" down to a minimum. But try to understand, most of the time a stereotype is based off of fact. (Then gets blown out of porportion later.) :) Thanks for wishing me well, I should be getting pages up for you guys in a couple of weeks. Lildarkdragon: Only the best for my fans. :) Byakko: Glad you like my little "food for thought" posts. (It's ok to rant, I would be hurt if you didn't. I value my fans input weather its to say "Good job" or "WTF!?") Ickus: Thanks Ickus! I am going to start updating again within a couple of weeks. Mylar: Thanks. I do find it somewhat relaxing to lock myself in my room and draw. Jim: Thanks for understanding. Animegal: Thanks fer the 5. Mutation: I won't keep you waiting too long. I promise. Magical M: Thanks fer the 5. (BTW, I can't comment on your comic. If I try to comment I get transfered to another comic.) IRworking: Thanks fer the 5. Tea Green: Thanks. Sometimes I do "fall behind" when things seem thier darkest. Custard Trout: Maybe a crazy survivalist hermit. Kali: Thanks! I will be updating soon. Simpan: Thanks fer the 5. Error: Thanks fer the 5. Razel: Hopefully not too ugly. Lance Danger: Thanks! Sandy: When you're at the bottom, there's no other place to go but up. MOrgan: Thanks! Faithie: Heh! You're welcome! Valavor: Thanks man.

Very well, report that comment and this comment if you wish so that may not vex Toshubi in anyway lest he has already seen it.
Ickus at 12:56PM, Oct. 24, 2007
>Master Chief Rules: Most of Reiko's actions are her attempt to seem harmless. Though I won't deny that some of it is also based on real life. The inker (Dragonzilla) and I are both female, and are not about to let Toshubi go to far with the fem. bashing. It's also not supposed to be a happy-cute comic, yes there is humor, but there is a very searous side as well. People aren't all good, true and honest, neither are cartoon characters. Reiko's intentions are good, but yes, her methods are questionable. As for Tosh's ex- she's one of those women wants the best of *everything for herself*, she doesn't want to have to lift a finger to do it and would like it delivered on a silver platter thank you.
Master_Chief_Rules at 10:48AM, Oct. 23, 2007
Hm. I can sympathise completely with Byakko's displeasure on the previous page of the repeatedly poor portrayal of the female of the species, we understand that your ex-wife has screwed you over and is a total bitch but thats just one woman. Many of your readers are female and are nothing like that. Could you please take this in to consideration? On the other hand, this could just be Reiko's ploys to seem harmless. I wish you the best of luck on getting back on your feet.
lildarkdragon13 at 10:37PM, Oct. 21, 2007
awww thanks for spiting your ex wife for the sake of the fans. Makes fans feel loved :D. Wonderful artwork as always. :)
Byakko at 7:44AM, Oct. 21, 2007
Awesome! Thanks for being there and giving us something interesting to think about every time you update!! ^_^ (Sorry for my mini rant on the previous page!)
Ickus at 8:48PM, Oct. 20, 2007
Hey everybody- We're working on getting more pages ready to go on line. I have net access but Toshubi's graphics software won't run on my computer (mac vs pc)(hey, no pokeing, it's what I have). We all enjoy your comic, and would really miss it if it went away. I'm glad to know that you've resolved to keep drawing and posting. Like I've said many times, you're welcome to use my computer anytime you want. :)
Mylar at 8:33PM, Oct. 20, 2007
Ouch! Hope things work out for the best for you. Keep up the good artwork, I know it can help take your mind off things.
jim at 5:38PM, Oct. 20, 2007
Really good artwork, and no problem :P i'd actually be pretty sad if you left us here at DD, but your not :DDD, keep up the good work Tosh! ~Jarin
Mutation at 11:23AM, Oct. 20, 2007
We'll all wait paitently for your return. n.n *thumbs up*
tea_green at 6:53AM, Oct. 20, 2007
I'm just glad that you can still devote time to your art no matter what you're going through. Impressive in my book ~_^
Custard Trout at 6:43AM, Oct. 20, 2007
You'll pull through, and if you don't you could always become a hermit.
Kali at 4:17AM, Oct. 20, 2007
Hard hitting authors note. You're welcome, it's been a pleasure! Good Luck and hope to 'see' you soon!
Raziel_X007223 at 1:14AM, Oct. 20, 2007
This is going to get ugly!!!!
LanceDanger at 11:48PM, Oct. 19, 2007
Awesome page. Really hope things get better for you!
sandy at 11:09PM, Oct. 19, 2007
Great job, even without a computer, I too hope things get better for you.
MOrgan at 10:29PM, Oct. 19, 2007
Hope things go better in your life!
Faithie at 10:14PM, Oct. 19, 2007
Eeeh, I'm mentioned! :D
Valavor at 10:09PM, Oct. 19, 2007
