@MrDarthGaber Not only it will redefine shounen, it will also redefine what boys should be, and I root Thumping for that!
Really hope Thumping would win, or at least they could be friend in the end. Thumping really deserves more screen time, and his interaction with Meng Long would be fun to read.
This showdown was predestined, a feminine boy who wants to be manly and intimidating and a fearsome boy who strives to be cute and girl-like. Both been dragon theme only adds a layer of awesome to the mix.
I'm somewhat divided in this regard because I accept both perspectives and am personally a guy with a mix of macho and cutesy preferences.
Well, can't wait for the doujins on this scenario.
