User blog comment:Alanomaly/Alanomaly Parodies - Eastern Cartoons vs Western Cartoons/@comment-25263388-20150726132514/@comment-5101200-20150726134212

I figured that since Ash is from Pokémon, and when someone says anime I've heard more people say that one first than anything else, be would be the more iconic of the Eastern Cartoons and should battle the more iconic of the Western, so it ended up being where Mickey vs Ash would happen in it, and Mickey was set to parody the lines of Socrates, so that put Ash in the place to parody Sun Tzu.

Goku and Ben are the most powerful in terms of fighting, so I figured Goku vs Ben should be set up, and Ben parodied Nietzsche so Goku as Lao Tzu.

Aside from just being left over, Spongebob and Light are the most contrasted out of the three, Light is a prodigal genius and his show has a dark tone to it, whole Spongebob is anything but genius and he has a light hearted show.

Yugi was considered when I was trying to think of who to put in this. I figured two would be around a bit longer than the rest (Mickey and Goku), two more modern ones (Ben and Light) and the two on the middle (Ash and Spongebob). I wanted to include Yugi but I know nothing about it whereas I have at least some knowledge of the three I used, namely Ash and Light.

And plz he may have the least out of those four but he's not that difficult to write against >:(

Thanks for reading tho Legion :P
