Knightus Maximus doesn't equal chivalry
There are those in the Detective Conan/Magic Kaitou fandom that pride themselves on being a small, relatively wank-free fandom.

Then along comes Knightus Maximus, otherwise known as Knightus Detective Conan.

Once upon a time, Knightus and MagicBulletGirl used to date and work on translating Detective Conan manga scans together. This fairytale was not to last as MagicBulletGirl broke up with Knightus both personally and professionally early in 2007 and started doing scans on her own. He hasn't handled this well. Knightus accused MagicBulletGirl of stealing his scans and asked Icka! M. Chif, a BNF that fandom, to look into it. Icka determined that MagicBulletGirl was acting as a distro, so she didn't do anything. She did provide a handy summary of the wank to December 2007.

Yes, it's still going. So what happened?

Knightus responded to Icka!'s post by claiming, "She started it first!" and decides to steal MagicBulletGirl's scans of the latest Conan chapter. He apologised, said he fix it and never did. He proceeds to have a nostalgic dream about the past, then Knightus' close friends and fans rally behind him and proceed to her attack on his c-box (read from the bottom up.)

Being the benevolent soul that he is, Knightus and friends suggest that MagicBulletGirl stop doing manga scans because everyone knows competition is a bad thing. And what wank would be complete without some good old translator harassment?

Now, in addition to his normal duties, Knightus is also a moderator at the Detective Conan forums, where he proceeds to use his all-mighty moderator privileges to freeze the forum thread for English Manga Scans so no one but him can post to it. Despite complaints, the mods take two days to respond. 'Industrial Red State' is JD aka Kaizou, who runs Kaizou Subs. He started Kaizou with the purpose of running Kaze no Koe out of business, then 'retired' from Detective Conan anime subs when he succeeded. He and Knightus used to sub together. 'magicaldreams' is MagicBulletGirl's RL sister

Meanwhile, a friend of Knightus' begins to threaten MagicBulletGirl via IM and someone hacks into her site and starts deleting files away. Though Knightus claims to have an epiphany, his "father" suddenly jumps into the melee begins to threaten her on his son's behalf. Meanwhile, more files are deleted from MagicBulletGirl's site that are not related to Detective Conan, though MagicBulletGirl has specifically - and repeatedly - stated that she wants to simply be left alone.

Let me state for the record that Knightus is old enough to be taking the LSAT. In other words, he's in his mid-to-late 20s at the least. And yet, if this is his father, he goes and fights his fights for him - and urges people to vote for Obama while they're at it.

ETA 1: Knightus claims that "Daddy" doesn't belong to him. Is he really his father? You be the judge...

ETA 2: Knightus's anonymouses come out to play wank, resulting in the anonymous commenting being turned off. Meanwhile, 'Industrial Red State' comes out of retirement just for this wank!

Brand new ETA 3: Knightus: "I don't believe anything is posted on "F_W" for the purpose of being blown over or resolved."

Industrial Red State Returns...

'Industrial Red State' is JD aka Kaizou, who runs Kaizou Subs.

You make it seem as if I were hiding my identity, even though I made it very clear in my very first post on those boards. Just clearing that up.

He started Kaizou with the purpose of running Kaze no Koe out of business, then 'retired' from Detective Conan anime subs when he succeeded.

Nice stab at me. Unfortunately, you're wrong. I do like that you attributed such a victory to me, however. If only that were the case, huh? Please present the facts as they are: KnKF and Kaizou merged in April of this year under "DCTP", and recently had NazoNoKami (another long-standing Conan fansubbing group) join in. So, KnKF never went "out of business"--they just joined us in an effort to continue subbing Detective Conan for as long as possible. Thanks for the character attack, though.

In actuality, I started Kaizou because KnKF had not released any Detective Conan for nine months prior to my founding of Kaizou, instead opting to do "sensational" animes that would attract downloads (which were animes already being done by six to seven other groups, but that's irrelevant here). The motive for founding Kaizou was to revive Detective Conan fansubbing, and if we had not done so, we would be some eighty Conan releases short by now (A-Conan had not released in approximately seven months at that point). If you look at the name KaizouFansubs and my alias at the time, KaizouSeizo, you may have discovered this already.

If you're wrong on such an arbitrary point, it makes me question exactly how much correct information is presented above.

Oh, and by the way, where did Knightus claim that wasn't his father--especially in that post? I thought he made it perfectly clear that one of the hosts of his site was his father and the circumstances behind his coming to know of the problems online. Just wondering.

Bye,
Industrial Red State AKA Jd-/KaizouSeizo

I'm fairly amazed at how completely NOT PASSIVE AGRESSIVE AT ALL you are. I mean, you're just quietly, humbly trying to keep us all from being fooled by the duplicitous wank report.

Kudos to you, my friend.

I started clipping my toenails in the fall of 1979. Before then, I hadn't hid my toenails from the world.

I don't want it to be misrepresented that my toenails went unclipped, and I believe it's passive-aggressive to insinuate such. I. Am. Broke. KFC is just... It's about good chicken. Rather, I have a perfectly reasonable explanation and it's unfair of you to characterize me as a skittering infantile crab-like creature who could be heard click-clacking along tile floors and making infants stir from their cradles in discomfort. You were all thinking it, even though you weren't saying it, and I think that's incredibly unfair of you as a group.

The pictures that circulate of me exhibited in a sideshow are entirely irrelevant because they, and the collection of ticket stubs and handbills from that era, do not tell the whole story. My. Toenails. Were. Clipped. Inasmuch as I did not do it myself, it was done by a handful of dedicated volunteers. Which I would not have if my toenails weren't worthy of clipping, lovingly, achingly. I have no pictures from this era in which my toenails were, in fact, clipped but it is there and I know it to be truth, and you are stabbing at me in my heart of hearts with your accusations that my toenails reached the dazzling length of several hundred yards. The fact is if any of you were interested is that these toenails were prosthetics. I have no documentation of this, but every day before the carnival barkers started up with their biased cries of "See the wondrous lady with Nature's own crampons attached to her bilious instep!" I would use several cans of spirit gum and apply these toenails. Not that it's important that you plebes believe me. But these were fakes. The medical certification and article in the JAMA mean nothing. I'm not saying they were forgeries because I'm not like you. But they did not take into account the complexities of, ah, proof. I may or may not have, in the past, proclaimed these toenails on my own but they certainly acted without my approval and that's the important thing. And it's passive-aggressive of you to keep bringing up the JAMA articles. And the pictures. And the testimony I gave in court when there was that unfortunate accident. I had my reasons for saying under oath that these were my real toenails, and it's unfair of you to point out the court transcripts. Whatever. It's not like I care what you people think, I have done more for the world of 1970s medical oddity exhibition than that jerk Lobster Boy.

Sting where I am splendid. Even unfortunately, by the error it is. But how much for me of the type of the victory which turns over which makes depends, is liked in me. Only this costume and? As as follows be, show the costume: It reached in KnKF which is molten April of this year under "DCTP" and reached in Kaizou and to NazoNoKami (already fansubbing group of the long time only of Conan) which connects was recently. Thus, -- where does not go from the "affaire" under any possibility which circumstance limited KnKF and those in connected effort to end to continue exactly for the subbing Conan detective. The attack of quality thanks it, but.

Nevertheless in reality, how much for me before KnKF establishes me of Kaizou, in front of not releasing 9 months of Conan detective, it was animate them where (already others seven groups make Kaizou, of 6, but car here where the sensationalism relationship does not have)"download" which started to make the costume that you animate them selected are made. How much for with the motor coach at end deétablir Kaizou must revives Conan detective fansubbing that it is, when we do not make thus, how much for with us release maintaining Conan roughly 80 since it is urgent, (that time did not release A-Conan in roughly 7 months). If you to look at KaizouFansubs first-misses and my pseudonym they which time, KaizouSeizo remain already it can discover.

If by the error it will be with the point very of the option, which thick correct information are shown on, ask in me exactly.

Well, in the place, Knightus in some place that father of this station -- only the request which is not special. I place this place which I know in line of the problem thought of this thing him which are this father and circumstance of the this back part which comes makes that completely removed obstructions from. You think exactly in the doubt.


There we go! After being run through Babelfish a few times, it sounds much better.
