Holy Crap, These Queen’s Blade Promo Images Are Suggestive

@Joseph Goforth: *sigh* I know what symbolism is (note that I've used the word). It's part of my work as a graphic designer, I don't need a course on THAT. I was just asking where it came from. It's easy to assimilate getting "wood" with having an erection, since both are (normally) hard. But assimilating nosebleed to a turn on isn't so obvious. Now if your explanation is "it symbolizes the dramatic increase in bloodflow an erection would require", I'm good with that, you didn't need to be so condescending.

@--Core--:

It ain't perverse if you like it, dawg.

WoozyB

They CANNOT be serious with these pictures? Is this an RPG coming to the PS3/Xbox, or one of those "click through PC sex games", where it feels like 10 years before anyone takes their clothes off. Those are so boring.

@Inzoum: My face gets really flush when I see real life perverseness, or women flirt with me, does that count? I mean blood is just a short way from my nose?

--Core--

I hope in my next life I am born as a sexy Japanese man that is both a physical and mental genius. So I can have direct access to the plethora of delicious hentai that japan offers. And not only that, all of the manga and things of that nature that don't even get translated by fan groups..

Oh.. that will be my heaven.

--Core--

Why... HELLO there.

@JamesKukuk: The anime is worse, trust me... Which is usually reverse (ie Kanon and Air becoming very clean anime, when the original purposes of the games was to have sex with one of the girls)

@Gamescook: That's what Korea's for... RE: Reign the Conqueror...

Delicious

@TravisTouchdown: They made me nosebleed.

@otakuoverlord:
There are female gamers too. You gotta cater to both markets!

rp0

@Inzoum: It stems from a myth that there is a sudden change in blood pressure when a man becomes aroused.

Marouku

@Tye-The-Czar: You know if there were demand for it, it'd be made.

How is this news?! Queens Blade has been out for years...Oh I guess non anime people would be in shock if they never played a japanese game before...

I swore off the anime after watching the first episode. BUT...once I heard and saw what coming eps had in them.....oi mami!
I changed my mind sooner than you could say...um....

Still need to watch though.

The tv series they just ran was ok. Fanservice galore but actually watchable.

I like fanservice, but there's such a thing as "too much fanservice"

paulrenzo

@mugamibaku: Anime because otaku think they're too good for real girls.

@Neer'mo: That snake comes from exactly where you think it comes from..

"suggestive" is a understatement!

trailingedge

@spannu: I would stop being so disgusted at all of this ecchi borderline porno crap if they could just make a opposite gender equivalent to keep me distracted!

@Joseph Goforth: Although slightly condescending, good explanation. However, "hot and bothered" is still alive and well. How long has it been since you played Bridge at the rec center?

Image set 3, girl with the snake - what the hell is that about?!?

i guesss its going to start blocking ips soon XD

Anime / Because Real Girls Won't Dress Like This

@TheWaffle: +1

What a surprise! Japanese artists making cartoon porn! Seriously, buying this kind of crap only assures your virginity.

@Yin:

I dunno, that's a bit of a stretch. You can make something sexual out of just about anything. At the very least there's nothing of Litchi, or I-No caliber going on with her.

Danved

@fastpotato: Hahaha, I lol'd

@Danved: I would consider her squeeks of "no!" and "please stop!" as mildly suggestive, considering that's like dialogue from a hentai.

@spannu: Hell, yeah. If girls show that much skin all the time, where the heck is the other side of the gender coin.

Tye-The-Czar

@Char Aznable says, Hail to the King of Pop:

Sure I have, but they aren't 'official', and this is. Think about it. She may have a ridiculous outfit, but the game doesn't really go anywhere with it. She somehow manages to pull it off without being trashy. But everything about Queen's Blade it trashy.

Danved

This is totally the anime were the lady shoots acid from her nipples.

I shudder to think what the Soulcalibur team thinks of this...

twinturbo2

Sigh.. Pitiful.

...Helloooooo Melona...

Mister_CrazyGuy

I'm going to torrent this for sure lol. I'm a loser!
:*(

so, so close to using the fish

there seems to be a cobra in that ladies crotch

@Squirrelbot3000: Ba dum, tish.

Oh my. That snake looks pissed off.

@Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.: That's Rule 35, I think.

Ecks

I don't know if this is a game or not but I'm buying it!

@Griefy:
As I see it, it's merely wrapped around her hip, as you can see the tail by the head.

Invisible-Echidna

@Danved: Dizzy is actually in Queen's Gate, not the standard Queen's Blade.

Kamakazie

you should actually watch the anime. its rediculous.

mascot1063

... holy crap

Lmao..Oh japan...

xxAlucarDraculax

@Neer'mo: You and me both.

Everything E.F. draws is a win in my book.

Daniel Pizarro Sánchez

@spannu: Be careful what you wish for.

Do Kesubei

@Inzoum: Ever hear of something called 'symbolism'? Americans don't really get 'wood' when they see something erotic either ya know. Wasn't that long ago we had terms like 'hot and bothered' or 'vapours' as stand ins for 'wowzers, she's gee golly hot!' Nosebleeds merely replace it with the fact that your blood gets pumping and that's just the outward sign that is more appropriate for all ages to signify what it really means. Look at it another way with a western convention in cartooning, who sleeps and makes "Z"'s come out of their mouths/noses? these symbols come from older print cartoons that were needed to express things that were difficult/inappropriate to express properly in that format.

Joseph Goforth

Yummy, more on S_nk_ku Complex.com if you like this kind of news.

jellyfish

@jobocan: Oh my god!

@otakuoverlord:
Yeah, we should have more translated imports :)

jellyfish

HAhaha boobs.

Rozzlit

@Squirrelbot3000: I never understood the whole nosebleeding symbolism... I mean, people in Japan don't get nosebleed from watching something erotic any more than people everywhere else in the world, that is to say: they don't. So what's the deal with that?

Inzoum

@jacobgermain: Melona (メローナ, Merōna?) - A shape-shifting magic-using girl, Melona who has the ability to take any physical form, takes the form of a pink liquid substance to create objects, move from place to place and to imitate people, one noticeable use is her hair which turns into hands that hold up her breasts and cover her nipples. Her primary offense is squirting acid from her breasts.

samples of images in mah mind! xD

FAPFAPFAPFAPFAPFAPFAPFAPFAPFAPFAPFAPFAPF...

How nice of them to cover that girl's nipples with a pat of butter.

@otakuoverlord:

Bayonetta

@Gossy loves yo' mamma's flapjacks: They made me laugh.

Ashcraft you haven't seen the anime have you...let's just say in EP1: first 30 seconds: Panty shot...first 2 mins boob shots...and half the ep1 she goes around topless while being bondaged... yeah...border hentai much?

James2432

W-what?! D:

@n00b_pwner: That was a complete failure.

Oh me oh my...

@spannu: You know, a "King's Blade" would be the only way to make the existence of something like this right in the world. But we all know Japan, don't we.
Dammit Japan, stop making stuff like this, or start making an opposite sex equivalent!

This goes well with the article on box covers. Really shows how this industry is ran.

@jesustoloza:

"Japan gets all the good pornos"

Fixed it for ya;)

Really though, yikes.

@Invisible-Echidna: I have my doubts (and concerns) about where that snake is originating from...

:(

Neer'mo

@jacobgermain: She's like Millia from Guilty Gear or Bayonetta - magic hair. Which means tentacles.

Also, symmetrical docking!

amarney

@chronomasakari is dizzy from the spinning of games:
"We're sorry, only Japanese otaku are allowed to attain nosebleeds from these images. Please enjoy this picture of fluffy kittens to sate your impending rage."

Squirrelbot3000

@Spootythegameguru:

Looks pretty Solid to me.

Squirrelbot3000

@N●Gage Croal:

Ba dum-pishh.

Squirrelbot3000

@J4cK 0f He4rt5: They made me rush.

@J4cK 0f He4rt5: They made me rush.

@Advent Chaos has evolved into Trygle12!: "splurt"? o__0

Someone should really tell Japan that these pictures aren't suggestive. They are very much direct porn.

@[assets.knowyourmeme.com]

This is such a silly thing, lol.

DRaGZ

@SansSanity: actually I'm pretty sure it exists...

warpped655

@-MasterDex-: I call rule 34 on rule 34 :)

SansSanity

@Invisible-Echidna: That will definitely put perverts away! Don't need some chastity belt, just put a snake down there and no one would wanna touch u lol.

DAS

@Danved: Because, you know, GG features no fetishes or suggestive themes whatsoever...

@You Are My Friend!:

I don't know, but I suggest we placate the kids with violence so they wont be mentally damaged by these cartoon boobs.

It's getting hot in here, so take off...

... a little ahead of me, aren't you, girls?

I get that they're suggestive, but what exactly are they suggesting?

@Jnas: They made me flush.

Hot tears of shame.

TheWaffle

@-MasterDex-: Or with a little something extra ;D

@Here's Some Weapons: Yeah, basically.

For those that don't know: Rule 34 states that if you can think of it, there's porn of it.

-MasterDex-

Japan get's all the good promos.

@jacobgermain: Also, what's with pink hair girl? Are those ears? or her hair? and why is her hair fondling a breast? Nothing makes sense anymore!

Sample 3, the fug is that? A trouser snake?!

Man, you people are actin' like you never seen a ten befo'

Er, Never seen porn before. Damn.

@JamesKukuk:
Yeah, you did.

You're on Kotaku.

For a second I thought I stumbled onto a dirty website.

JamesKukuk

@-MasterDex-: isn't that one of "the rules?" like 34 or something?

@Char Aznable says, Hail to the King of Pop: Indeed. Anime characters are all whores. You name a character I guarantee thatthere's 150 pictures of that character nude, half-nude or in a very suggestive pose.

-MasterDex-

@LtdEdLoser:

They made me gush.

@fastpotato:

TMI x100.

@Danved: Every picture of Dizzy is a suggestive picture though... I mean, look at her clothes.

Queen's Blade promo screens?

More like Queen's Bade prono screens!

they made me blush

Nice of them to include an illustrated instruction of where to put your 'sample'.

@Snake picture. Talk about a cock block...

Invisible-Echidna

Needs more Cattleya . . . a whole lot more Cattleya . . .

How about just a Cattleya game? The rest of them are nice, but... yeah.

Why can't more games be like this? Why are we still loading video games with strong, badass men when what we really need are top-heavy female leads? I mean, just look at those... well, breasts. I'm sorry, where was I?

@Danved: You haven't seen half the pictures I've seen, then...

bahahaha! Oppai blade is a fucking joke.

Jaziek

Also, Image 3? Yeah that looks rather painful, that square band-aid I mean. And what about that snake? what if it goes wild and bites her....Infections are not pretty, I KNOW.

>
WTF!!!!!!

*splurt* good lord!...even I feel swayed by such images!
I think it's time I go back to play Valkyria Chronicles or MGO...

@spannu: Hahaha, i lol'd. Man they sure know how to over blow their images.

yay still cant wait for this an echi super robot wars ^^

king-kittan

10/10 material if you ask me.

Thanks Kotaku. Perfect timing for my 10 o clock toss.

I'm still waiting for King's Blade.

...Don't judge me!

spannu

I'll give the Japanese website for Queens Blade a week before it blocks foreign IPs from accessing it.

Holy crap indeed. I love Dizzy, and shudder to think of her being featured in such a thing.

Danved

Fanservice is legacy!
