The fantastic world of anime has produced some of the most incredible fighters one can imagine. But what happens if these iconic fighters have a little too much to drink? In this hilarious hypothetical situation we pit two powerhouse personalities against each other: Rock Lee, the taijutsu master from Naruto, and Yor Forger, the assassin with a hidden identity in Spy x Family go head-on against each other. Let us dissect their drunken fighting styles to establish who will come out of this epic bar brawl as victor, unconscious or dead.

Rock Lee: The Drunken Fist of Fury

Lee, fueled by youthful exuberance and a love for Guy Sensei’s teachings, becomes a whirlwind of punches and kicks when intoxicated. Here’s what makes him a contender:

• Master of Taijutsu: Even with slurred speech, Lee’s muscle memory kicks in. Drunken missteps might just turn into an unanticipated yet powerful critical hit.
• Eight Gates: We have seen Lee truly drunk a few times in the series (including the spinoff) perhaps his state would release an entirely new, even more disorganized “Eight Drunken Gates” technique?
• Unbreakable Spirit or Undying Willpower: Remember that time Lee kept running despite having both legs broken? Rock Lee’s fighting spirit is unmatchedDrunk or sober. Lee’s never-give-up attitude would serve well to drunken battle He won’t stop fighting until he is physically incapable of doing so anymore.
• Sharpened Focus:  Contrary to popular belief, liquid courage can enhance reflexes. Lee’s already impressive taijutsu might become even more unpredictable and dangerous under the influence.

Yor Forger: The Thorn Princess with a Side of Sake

Under the influence, of Yor, the unsuspecting assassin blessed with superhuman strength turns into a fierce force of nature. She should never be underestimated, and here’s why:

• Superhuman Strength:  Even a few glasses of alcohol would likely not impact Yor’s strength. Imagine her casually throwing Lee across the room like a drunken ragdoll. The fight could be over before Lee even landed his first punch.
• Unrelenting Assassin Instincts: While alcohol might cloud her judgment and self-awareness, her assassin instincts are highly ingrained. Her strikes might be unintentional due to intoxication, but they’ll still be precise and lethal. (imagine: drunkenly snapping someone’s arm with a hug).
• Unpredictability: The mix of Yor’s drunkenness and assassin qualities brings a wild card to the fight. One can’t ever tell what she might do next! Just do not touch Anya!
• The Mama Bear Advantage: Fans know Yor as a fierce protector. Add some alcohol and that mama bear instinct is tenfold. Anybody who looks at Anya the wrong way is going to be thrown through the walls.

The Verdict: An Iconic Drunken Battle For The Ages

This would forever be remembered as one epic drunk battle. Lee’s unpredictable taijutsu versus Yor’s raw power would be one insane sight to behold. Ultimately, it’s a close call.

• In a pure brawl of strength: Yor’s sheer physical dominance might win.
• In a chaotic, drunken fight: Lee’s unpredictable movements and sheer determination could give him the victorious edge.

Imagine the hilarity and fallout from such an inebriated standoff. Who loses? The furniture (and anyone else unfortunate enough to get caught up in this mess). We turn it over to you anime fans, who do you think would emerge victorious?

Jeezy does not want primary custody of his daughter with estranged wife Jeannie Mai.

Legal documents obtained by People magazine show that the rapper – real name Jay Wayne Jenkins – is seeking to “share joint legal custody and joint physical custody of the minor child and that the specific parenting time schedule be determined by the Court consistent with the best interest of the minor child.”

Jeezy claimed he and Mai put an informal custody plan in place last year, but it fell apart at the start of 2024. He alleges his estranged wife has since blocked FaceTime calls from his number and says he hasn’t had “any significant parenting” with their daughter.

The rapper said he agreed to move to the basement of their shared home when they separated. However, he claimed Mai has since moved out of their house with Monaco, and he is unaware of where their child currently resides.

According to People, Jeezy claimed that Mai’s travel schedule isn’t suitable for Monaco, noting that the media personality enlisted her mother and brother to care for their daughter most of the time. He accused his estranged spouse of withholding his time with Monaco for nearly two months.

Jeezy claimed he was “only able to exercise parenting time with the minor child overnight” from April 8 to April 9 in Dallas, where he noticed Monaco “was lethargic, appeared to be exhausted, and seemed to be underweight.”

Jeezy previously claimed that Mai was “gatekeeping” their daughter and preventing him from spending enough time with her. However, Mai denied the allegations, claiming she was concerned for Monaco’s safety.

“It is essential to clarify that Ms. Jenkins’ insistence on reasonable safety measures being put in place, such as safely securing and locking away all firearms that have been unsecured in the past,” Mai’s attorney shared in a subsequent filing, theGrio reported, “as well as having familiarity and properly trained caregivers is absolutely not gatekeeping, but rather a responsible effort to prioritize their daughter’s well-being.”

Prior to last week’s filing, the rapper requested a judge to “address temporary custodial arrangements” between him and Mai.

The untimely death of 26-year-old adult film star Sophia Leone has sent shockwaves through the industry and beyond. Leone was found dead at her apartment in Albuquerque, New Mexico on March 1st, prompting an investigation that has left many questions unanswered.

TMZ reported that Leone’s mother informed the police that her daughter had struggled with suicidal thoughts in the past and was known to drink. While the circumstances surrounding her death remain under investigation, her former talent agency, 101 Modelling, indicated that her death was being investigated in connection with a robbery and homicide.

In a statement, 101 Modelling clarified the nature of the investigation, emphasizing that Leone’s death was being treated as a robbery and homicide. The agency expressed its grief and announced its decision to take a hiatus from social media to process the tragic news.

According to reports, Leone’s mother had not heard from her daughter for over 24 hours before her body was discovered, raising concerns about her well-being. While her mother disclosed to the police that Leone had a history of suicidal thoughts and alcohol consumption, it remains uncertain whether these factors played a role in her death.

The Albuquerque Police Department initially viewed Leone’s death as suspicious but found no evidence to suggest it was a homicide after further investigation. Although Leone’s family was aware of her involvement in the adult film industry and had access to her cameras, the circumstances surrounding her death remain unclear.

The results of Leone’s autopsy are still pending, with initial findings indicating no signs of trauma. However, authorities continue to treat her death as suspicious as they await further information.

In the wake of her passing, friends and family have rallied together to support Leone’s loved ones through a fundraising campaign. The campaign aims to provide financial assistance for her memorial and cover the expenses associated with the investigation and funeral arrangements.

In a thrilling exploration of honor, survival, and historical intrigue, Netflix is set to debut its upcoming series, “Last Samurai Standing.” Based on Shogo Imamura’s award-winning novel “Ikusagami,” the series promises a captivating journey into the late 19th-century Meiji period, where the legacy of the samurai thrives.

Led by the versatile Junichi Okada, who not only stars in the lead role but also serves as producer and action choreographer, “Last Samurai Standing” brings to life the tale of Shujiro Saga. Set against the backdrop of the Tenryuji Temple in Kyoto, Saga finds himself among 292 skilled warriors drawn by the allure of a grand prize of 100 billion yen. However, his motivation transcends mere riches, as he embarks on this perilous quest to save his ailing wife and child.

For Okada, the project represents an opportunity to reimagine the historical drama genre for a global audience. “When Netflix approached me,” he reflects, “I saw the potential to elevate this genre beyond borders.” His vision aligns with Imamura’s ambition to create a historical novel with universal appeal. Imamura expressed his delight in having Okada embody the character he envisioned while writing the novel.

Bringing Imamura’s novel to the screen posed its own set of challenges, akin to producing three films. Director Michito Fujii, known for his work on “The Journalist,” collaborated closely with Okada to ensure the series retained the essence of the original work while incorporating cinematic elements. With nearly 300 actors and intricate costume designs, the production demanded meticulous attention to detail.

Despite the scale of the project, the team remains steadfast in their commitment to delivering a groundbreaking series. Fujii emphasizes their dedication to creating a unique world with an ensemble cast, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to share this story with audiences worldwide.

“Last Samurai Standing” promises to captivate viewers with its timeless themes and breathtaking visuals. As audiences prepare to immerse themselves in this epic tale, they can anticipate a battle royale unlike any other, exclusively on Netflix.

Updated on April 19 at 2:10p.m.PT: It looks like Nicki Minaj won’t be alone as she heads overseas for the European leg of her “Pink Friday” tour as a judge has granted her husband Kenneth Petty’s plea to accompany her.

But of course, that decision comes with certain terms and conditions as noted by People:

“[Petty] shall keep his probation officer updated with the details of his travel itinerary as needed. At the conclusion of the travel, [Petty] must return to Los Angeles and must check in with his probation officer upon returning,” the filing states. “Mr. Petty must also provide an itinerary to his probation officer prior to travel and follow all directives of the probation officer.”

“The order granted by the court speaks for itself,” said Petty’s lawyer in a statement following the decision.

See original story below.

Kenneth Petty, Nicki Minaj’s husband, is looking to expand his freedom into international territory.

At least, that appears to be the case according to new court documents filed on his behalf on Monday asking a judge for federal permission to travel overseas to accompany his wife on the European leg of her “Pink Friday 2″ world tour beginning April.

Petty cites child care and “various purposes” for his reasoning.

“Defendant Kenneth Petty (“Mr. Petty”), by and through counsel, hereby applies to the Court for an Order allowing him to travel out of the country with his family for his wife’s tour and her professional purposes,” the document reads in part as published by legal affairs journalist Meghann Cuniff.

“Mr. Petty and Mrs. Petty believe Mr. Petty is necessary to accompany the family on the tour for various purposes, including childcare. The anticipated travel schedule begins on April 17, 2024 and continues periodically to July 14, 2024. The travel schedule calls for travel to several countries including Canada, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Austria, Ireland, Switzerland, and Romania.”

“The Government has been notified about this application and takes no position. Mr. Petty’s probation officer has been notified of this application and has no objection to the travel request.”

If his request is granted, Petty will be required to give his probation officer details of his itinerary before he leaves and check in with the details of his travels intermittently while overseas when necessary. When that portion of the tour concludes, he has to come back to Los Angeles county and check back in with his parole officer.

As previously reported by The Root, Petty recently completed 120 days of house arrest after he violated the conditions of his parole by making very public threats against rapper Cardi B’s husband, Offset.

Accused of first-degree rape and convicted in the 1990s, he served four years in prison after reaching a plea deal to reduce charges to attempted rape. He was required to register as a sex offender in the state of California as part of the conditions of his plea deal, but failed to do so resulting in him placed on probation. He has since registered.

During a live stream for the Devin Haney vs. Ryan Garcia press conference on DAZN, a major revelation unfolded, sending shockwaves through the combat sports world. It was accidentally leaked that Paige VanZant, former UFC star turned BKFC fighter, could potentially headline Misfits 15 against influencer boxer Elle Brooke on Saturday, May 25.

While neither Misfits, VanZant, nor Brooke have officially confirmed the bout, speculation is rampant following the inadvertent disclosure during the DAZN broadcast. Mams Taylor, the head of Misfits, added fuel to the fire with cryptic tweets following the leak, hinting at a significant event on the horizon.

Paige VanZant, with a record of 8-5 in MMA and 0-2 in BKFC, has been out of action since July 2021 when she suffered a decision loss to Rachael Ostovich. Before her BKFC stint, VanZant competed in the UFC, where she garnered a record of 5-4 before departing with a submission loss to Amanda Ribas.

VanZant recently declared that she would be open to a boxing match and expressed her excitement for one, saying, “It was initially, the date they offered me was March 23, which was perfect… So I told my manager f*** yeah, I’ll take it.” However, the proposed date was later postponed to May or June, aligning with the potential Misfits 15 event.

Her potential opponent, Elle Brooke, boasts a 4-1 record as a boxer and has gained prominence as a women’s influencer in the sport. Brooke’s most recent victory came in January, where she secured a knockout win over AJ Bunker for the second time in her career.

The possibility of VanZant vs. Brooke has sparked excitement in the combat sports industry while fans wait for formal confirmation; many are excited to see the fight between the former UFC standout and the rising influencer boxer.
