Action (1265)

Exciting action sequences take priority and significant conflicts between characters are usually resolved with one's physical power. While the overarching plot may involve one group against another, the narrative in action stories is always focused on the strengths/weaknesses of individual characters and the effort they put into their personal battles with the opposing group's members. Contrast with Military or Sports where the narrative is on collective achievement, or monster-of-the-week where the brief action scenes are a predicted climax to the episode's plot.

12-nin no Yasashii Koroshiya: Leo Murder Case

2024
When a crime goes unpunished due to lack of evidence or the perpetrator's personal influence, Persona XII, a secret organization, steps in and takes matters into its own hands. Its members—all 12 of them being assassins styled after the constellations of the zodiac—are tasked with carrying out justifiable executions.

"Leo" of Persona XII is just one of Kotarou Daigo's aliases. Going by the name Takashi Bidou, he is known as the number one host at club Overload in Shinjuku's red-light district. In his official occupation, he meets clients from all walks of life. Sometimes, these people happen to be victims of the criminals he is set to dispose of—at other times, they are one and the same.

Outside both his jobs, Kotarou takes comfort in his friendship with the number two host, Toru, frequently seeking food or refuge at the other man's home. Little does he know, however, that Toru hides a secret which may soon necessitate a visit from the killer in a professional capacity.

One Piece Log Book Omake

Oda, Eiichiro 2024
Interestingly, one of the features that most of the Logs share are the publication of some omakes, an English loanword in Japanese for remakes. Those remake comics are three-page ones that tend to parody other genres.

Those side comics were drawn when Oda was given three sheets of blank paper by his editor and told to draw anything. Animated versions, subtitled as Mugiwara Theater, were broadcasted on October 2006 along recap episodes 279 to 283. They featured omakes released from 2nd to 7th Logs.

Some omakes were released outside of the Logs. They're listed below with the others:

* Blue Databook 4 koma (8 pages)
* The 2nd Log: Report Time
* The 3rd Log: Obahan Time
* The 5th Log: Jingi-nai Time
* The 6th Log: Chopper Man
* The 7th Log: Monster Time
* Yellow Databook: Space Time
* 10th Treasures: Third Year Class SEA Time
* The 10th Log: Märchen Time
* The 13th Log: Family Time
* The 14th Log: Ed Sullivan Show
* The 15th Log: Detective Loomes
* The 16th Log: Circus Time
* The 20th Log: RPG Time

Chopperman has starred in the animated New Year's Special filler that aired on December 23 2007.

Episode 369 also featured a special Easter egg referring to Chopperman when Oz suddenly discovered the cockpit in its stomach and called itself "Oz Bomber."
