There’s a lot of talk about guys “giving off big-dick-energy”, but it’s rarely actually illustrated – so I thought I’d let Hiroki do it, so you all know what that actually looks like. You’re welcome.

And the occassion was very opportune, since the anime/manga convention for forces struggling in mid-air does require the two opponents to reinforce them with their mental energy anyway. So both Yamato as well as Hiroki collect their mental/spiritual energy/chi into different classic forms first… and then Hiroki brings out his new version, which actually fits in perfectly nicely with the more established versions. Biggest dick, biggest genki-dama…isn’t it all the same when guys show off like that?

Good thing for the Shinkai Yuri Gakuen team, too – since it’s a fully newly-introduced form, it automatically wins the struggle. These things are ruled by the law of escalation. As Big-Dick-Energy is new in this context, it’s assumed to automatically outrank the forms the audience has heard/seen before. Of course, this automatism only works once. The next time a struggle like this happens, Big-Dick-Energy might, in turn, get superseded by some new, even more powerful form. I already shudder to think of that.

Anyway, what’s the lesson of today’s strip? Uh…if you are in a competition against some other guy, and your balls are grinding against each other, try to focus your mental/spiritual energies! Try not to get distracted, even if that might be very difficult with all of that grinding going on. And then try to come up with a completely new form for your concentrated energy! It also helps if you can convince yourself that you have a bigger dick than the other guy. It doesn’t even need to be true, just believing it yourself will already give you a morale boost. I feel like this is the most educational strip we’ve had in a while…

More on Thursday.
