Does anyone else miss the little pamphlets that came with games? I swear you could tell a game's quality most of the time just by the size of the pamphlets and I loved reading the short bios and world summaries described in them, they need to bring them back.
I work in a blood bank at my local hospital and the fact that you mentioned Karl Landsteiner, antigens, and agglutination made me so happy. Maybe it's simpler than I realize but a lot of people in my area really don't understand blood types. Instant respect.
_"I also forgot to mention that I COULD NOT do your job. Without fainting that is."_ Don't you mean you forgot to mention that you COULD NOT do their job, especially not when you're so busy adjudicating high profile court cases and directing Hollywood blockbusters? And that you're "just saying"? Just fucking with you because it was funny how you specifically tried not to sound humble-braggy and did anyway!
Remind me to make a game with the blood types listed, but make them completely opposite of the characters personalities just to screw with the Japanese.
Looking up the pseudoscience behind this, Squall's blood type was a bit of a spoiler. Type AB is supposed to be "forgetful" which was a major plot point.
i woke up before sunrise, which was probably around 6 am, so before that, and then got up after laying down and doing absolutely nothing at around 11 am dangit, only 5 hours, then again i actually went to sleep at 8 the night before... i'm not really sure how long that it
I began thinking about that 'blood type matching your personality' thing, and I realized that, while I'm AB, I'm also generally calm and VERY indecisive. Like, seriously. I can't/don't like making decisions, and it mostly falls on others to choose for me.
Blood Type O makes you an ambitious confident go getter? All I ever want to do all day is watch UA-cam and play video games, often times both at the same time, and the only thing I'm confident in is that I'm a fucking loser who sucks at everything. I _am_ pretty arrogant, though, because as much as I hate myself, I hate everyone else even more.
+Jeffrey Heesch Geez, boy... get a job. No really, it'll help you - will give you something to focus on, which in turn, prevent you from losing yourself in negative thinking as you are now. Will relieve you from surplus energy, which unspent, causes frustration. Give you an opportunity to open up to people, which in turn will make you more assertive and self-assured. And the most important thing - IT WILL TEACH YOU SOME GOOD OLD MOTHER%$#&ING HUMILITY!!!... which in turn, will help you find your place in the world. P.S. If you start tellng yourself that no crappy job is good enough for - believe me - anything is better from the stalemate you now endure - I know that... well, from first hand experience.
I always wondered why they list blood types when describing characters in some mangas, like in Tokyo Ghoul, for example. Seemed a bit weird because they were listed alongside more practical descriptions like height, weight, likes and dislikes. This video was pretty informative and interesting. Thanks! :)
Yeah you can. Anything times zero is just zero... Are you referring to dividing by zero, another thing you can do? (you get undefined, or infinity).It's not more possible
Ah the key to superstitions like blood types, haroscapitiojijat... the star thing. And so on. Is to mention personality traits that are SOOOO Generic, they can fit anyone.
Aickavon the Techpriest I find it far more amusing than I should that you are complaining about blood types governing how people should act when you have Equius as your avatar.
In the English translation of the Magic Knight Rayearth manga, they actually poked fun at this by having one of the main heroines include her blood type in her introduction and another ask her why she included it. Her answer was that it might be useful if one of them were hospitalized.
Well that's neat! This was my "learn something new every day" moment. Guess I'll keep my blood type private then, lest people jump to hasty assumptions.
I don't even know what my blood type is. What's the type for kind, understanding, and patient, but introverted, lack of confidence, and a tendency to procrastinate?
...of course about the blood types. What else did you think we'd think you meant? Now I'm intrigued. Anyway yeah I was curious and now I'm surprised I didn't figure out that it was basically an extremely, *_extremely_* watered down version of horoscopes. And what people think of as astrology is dumbed down enough as it is - actual birth charts go so far beyond 'star sign' it's not funny. This blood type superstition shows the problem in basing a system around your extremely sheltered, ethnically homogeneous nation only to find that you've lumped all non-ethnically Japanese people in the same undesirable group. I thought it was kind of cute until I heard how seriously some people take it; even devoted astrologers don't tend to judge a person by their signs/correspondences/planets etc. - it's more a self reflective "here's where you'll need to focus more effort" than Ccan we really vote for someone whose Venus is in their third house? C'mon"
I can confirm, this is pretty much spot on. In Japan, if you didn't know your own blood type, it's almost the same equivalent as not knowing your own birthday.
What a cool video! I pored over instruction manuals as a kid for games like Street Fighter II and Resident Evil, and it always seemed so odd to me that the character profiles listed blood type. I always figured it was just marketing guys trying to come up with as many "interesting" stats as they could. Happy to see there was more thought behind it :)
Squall was cool. He definitely had his flaws, some of which he managed to overcome in the end. Don't even get me started on the "Squall's dead" theories.
If I ever make a survival game. Each character/NPC in your group will have a randomly generated blood group (of the real ones) and in case of injury or blood loss will only be able to get a blood transfusion from a character with a matching blood type.
Cloud wishes he was a cool as Squall. Great video! I love seeing blood types in game character bios, never knew why they were included till now though.
Squall did care about more than the bully girlfriend...from the beginning, he care about his foster sister, Ellone, the most. That to say, Squall was truly a griefer...hence the name of the final boss lion GF summoned by Ultimecia that represents Squalls pendant and last name.
DavidtheWavid GF in FFVII are more than likely something that can be drawn from just anyone, and will represents the characteristic of the individual that it's drawn from. Ultimecia simply drawn Griefer from Squall. It's also probable that it can also be manifested by the individual themselves. That's my theory on GF.
actually now that i think about it, although i'm not arrogant or a villain, i get super duper when people insult me, which i'm pretty sure is something arrogant people would do, and tho i'm not a villain most of the time when i'm mad i am MADE and don't care about bein' nice and i can be pretty violent tho my violence is mostly bark, and my bite is just whacking you with my backpack when you tick me off, haha
Yeah I figured this out by playing Star Ocean 3, one of the earlier events asks your character what your blood group is, and the dude explains what it each means and the first answer influences your affection rating to current and later party members who join you.
***** No not you the other guy said the japanese are racist which is racist.I meant it as a joke mostly though as i realise japan is a pretty xenophobic place.
ELbabotas Shinigami Japanese are known for being particularly xenophobic, which is kind of normal considering they don't have that many immigrants for such an advanced country.
I'm so glad I found this. I know in DRAMAtical Murder they show the blood types when they introduce each character. I always wondered why they put that in there.
yeah Ibused to love when i gor t a bunch of games and read about the characters and weapons or whatever in the car on the way home. Gta always had funny manuals aswell
american games? just say western games. i'm an american and i've never played a game that mentions starsigns. exluding the elder scrolls games but thats all its own thing.
1- Not gonna say «western» because I reject the notion that Greenwitch, UK is the non-arbitrary longitudinal center of the world. 2- I was thinking specifically about games developped in UnitedStadian and Canadian studios, so I'm not gonna pretend to include European and African studios if I'm not going to talk about them. 3- I give flank to the criticism that I'm excluding everything south of Mexico from what I call American, and, for that, I must apologize. I should have said «North American»

I never wanted to know a character's exact height until Japan made me realize I *need* this information. Even if you don't believe in blood type stuff, it's kind of interesting regardless because it's such an intimate detail about a character that makes them seem more real. How many friends do you have where you know their bloodtypes?
I've never heard of someone being bullied over their Date of Birth. I actually don't know anyone who believes horoscopes, I don't even know how they are a thing still. And I would hope bullying over a blood type is rare.
+timebomb456 Oh dude, the Japanese fucking love lore and so do I. Couple dozen children were chosen for experimentation by Spencer (CEO of Umbrella) in order to create the perfect human being so that he could use that knowledge to make himself a god. Only two known survivors from the Wesker project: Alex and Albert. Alex is an absolute super-genius (some fan theories depict him as the true mastermind behind most of the events in Resident Evil and the believed inventor of most of the viruses floating about on the black market.) Albert was the strongest and closer to being a god than Alex, however his abilities were limited by the fact that even though he was so strong he was still human; Albert charged his good friend Dr. Birkin (G) with creating a virus specifically designed for Albert's natural affinity with any and every disease/virus known to mankind. The ensuing product was the Wesker Virus, granting Albert with the superhuman abilities he once possessed, however it was so strong that Albert needed to take a vaccine of sorts to control the virus, basically like the jacket for Mr X it worked as an inhibitor too, restricting Albert from turning into a monster retaining his human form and sanity with unending strength and near immortality. If Albert had not mixed with Uroboros he might have actually survived the events of Resi 5 due to the viruses' cell reproduction but Uroboros made the virus incredibly unstable and eventually was his undoing, (Uroboros literally made Wesker a fucking target, look how shit Uroboros was compared to viruses like G though...) Hopefully that answered your question, and btw this is a brief summary of the Wesker Project; there is so much lore for Resident Evil and I implore you to read into it as some of it is absolute brilliance.
+timebomb456 You're probably right but you asked what's the deal with the Wesker children so I told you. I apologise for referring to Alex is a he however the gender isn't exactly the most important thing to focus on, is it?
Speculation for fun only: Different counties, cultures, and Regions can sometimes create pockets where some blood Types are more or less frequent. I forgot the details, but I know that genetically O blood is a reccesive gene and there for should not be prominent theoretically, but Americans with certain Europeans decent are more likely to have O-Type blood. Significance? What are actually nothing more than cultural differences may be mistakenly connected to blood type due to an irrelevant correlation.
Vaas Montenegro Fighting game developers often refuse to let their characters age properly and instead of showing us our favourite bum-kicker in his/her fifties, all covered in wrinkles, with gray hair and horrible backpains, they will pull some tricks to fool us into thinking he/she is still young. The only difference is how they achieve this goal - for instance, Street Fighter will rely on heavily stylized graphics, Tekken/Soul Calibur will introduce the character's offspring (who looks eerily similar to the parent), King of Fighters will out-right *refuse* to let its roaster age (and then introduce both 24-year-old "vanilla" Terry Bogard and 34-year-old "Wild Wolf" Terry Bogard in a single game) and Mortal Kombat will pull off the Tekken/SoulCal trick... combined with adding craploads of reskin characters, plot-twists out of the game's rear end, "Netherrealm cannot model a human face fo' sh*t" and "EVERYBODY HAS BEARDS NAO"... ...sorry, I couldn't resist joking about MK. Anyways. That's a good question, actually... Somebody could even make a whole video about it.
In One Piece series, Luffy's crew and himself also have blood types. Luffy: B(+) Zoro: AB Nami: A Usopp: O(+) Sanji: O(-) Sanji can give blood to any of his crew members, he's a life saver. Chopper:A Robin: O Franky: AB Brook: A BTY: I'm A (-) NEGATIVE.
Reminds me of the persuasion augmentation tree in Deus Ex: HR, where the icons for Alpha, Beta, and Omega personalities would light up during the conversation (as it went along too) in response to the party's choice of words. At first I thought they were just going with the easily recognizable ABO letters to identify the tags, but now I'm wondering if its based off of this same blood type horticultural stuff?
I watch a lot of anime, and I have never even heard of this before? I mean, I'm not a Japanese expert, but I feel like I would've seen somebody in some anime/manga give their blood type before if it was really such a big thing? Or am I just being arrogant?
Actually I've watched animes that give blood types. Before every battle 'law of ueki' would tell the bloodtype. Its a small detail that you mayhave overlooked or even not subbed/dubbed cause its un important
You'd think, but I've seen plenty of anime that give blood types, (as well as likes and... favorite.. foods?) Though not usually within the actual anime itself.
even if they don't say it or show it at some point within the actual anime or manga there will sometimes be little extra pages in manga that give a little bio about a character that generally includes blood type and if you look on the wikis for most animes you'll see a lot of them include blood type as well
Well, they don't always mention it in the anime itself (which isn't to say that they don't), but if you look for character bios online or in promotional material, they usually include blood type.
+Gage Frederickson Well, then again the Chinese believe their astrologic sign dictates personality, some Native American tribes pinned that on Totem Animal or Totem Plant, some people base it on their ascendency, some say it's the date of birth, the phase of the moon on their birth, the food they eat, etc All in all, we're all pretty crazy
Doing the same thing everyone else is doing? Seriously, you even put Christ in your comment, a fictional guy who's apparently gods son, the original Gary Stu..... you many laugh, others are laughing back at your own stupidity.
+Janik13 Technically the universal donor is O-. O+, such as myself, is useful, but not perfect. Also, there's the added problem of your specific blood type being the one that's automatically used on people, what if they ran out?
Terreliv - Good that you're O+ at least, even my blood type is utterly useless (AB+) can only donate to other AB+ but they're universal receivers anyway.
Why doesn't Japan give us info about characters that matters? Like does my character like long walks on the beach? Has he ever been caught masturbating in a public bathroom? Or even does he prefer Meth or PCP? I could care less about his personality give us the real info we need like those I listed.
Underscore Poet Unless you are a sociopath you care about everything to a varying degree. Seeing how you think it is acceptable for a human being to not care about something means you show a trait of being a Sociopath through lack of empathy. I care only because I would hate to see a human being locked up for the rest of their life before they could get medication that would help them balance the issues in their brain. So go get help before you end up killing a man and being bent over by Bubbha in prison.
cld1472 Then your point is completely redundant, you used an expression intended to represent apathy, but you actively said that you DO care. I honestly can't tell if you're trying to mess with me or not, if not, then... Are you high or something, because everything you're saying is insane.
Underscore Poet I am the sane one here, what I said was what I said and what I meant. You have signs of being detached from humanity by thinking people are unable to care. We are not all psychopaths like yourself and there is mediation for your issue.
Skylynxify Reborn I'm silent but not strong, or a very good looking person either, oh well. Japanese really are silly. XD And I don't mean that in a bad way.
Does anyone else miss the little pamphlets that came with games? I swear you could tell a game's quality most of the time just by the size of the pamphlets and I loved reading the short bios and world summaries described in them, they need to bring them back.
I work in a blood bank at my local hospital and the fact that you mentioned Karl Landsteiner, antigens, and agglutination made me so happy. Maybe it's simpler than I realize but a lot of people in my area really don't understand blood types. Instant respect.
Well I knew that stuff from highschool, but I doubt a lot of people know, I just remember everything even if it's useless to me.

discrimination by blood

(or close enough)
I'd say Ravenclaw is more of a combo of A and AB and Hufflepuff doesn't really fit in at all. Poor Hufflepuff.
They will find ANY way to discriminate you.

Squall was freaking awesome, and I loved his and Rinoa'a relationship.
Blood type affecting personality would still be more possible than astrology....
not really, you can't multiply by zero!
Yeah you can. Anything times zero is just zero... Are you referring to dividing by zero, another thing you can do? (you get undefined, or infinity).It's not more possible

That's so type 0 of you.
I don't even know what my blood type is. What's the type for kind, understanding, and patient, but introverted, lack of confidence, and a tendency to procrastinate?
I would say 0 because I have it and you perfectly described me.
You mean 'O' right? Blood type 0 (zero) does sound cooler though.
RiC David It can be either, depending on the country's terminology. The point is simply to point out the lack of blood cell antigenes.

Squall did care about more than the bully girlfriend...from the beginning, he care about his foster sister, Ellone, the most. That to say, Squall was truly a griefer...hence the name of the final boss lion GF summoned by Ultimecia that represents Squalls pendant and last name.
AtriasNaradan But Ultimecia TOTALLY isn't Rinoa or anything.
DavidtheWavid
I don't remember saying Ultimecia as Rinoa or anything....
DavidtheWavid
GF in FFVII are more than likely something that can be drawn from just anyone, and will represents the characteristic of the individual that it's drawn from. Ultimecia simply drawn Griefer from Squall. It's also probable that it can also be manifested by the individual themselves. That's my theory on GF.
why doesn't the negative/positive part of blood types affect anything?
Theoretically, wouldn't these rules apply to the positive, then the negative would make you the polar opposite?
well, that would explain why (as far as i can tell) i'm not an arrogant villain, cuz my blood type is O-negative
actually now that i think about it, although i'm not arrogant or a villain, i get super duper when people insult me, which i'm pretty sure is something arrogant people would do, and tho i'm not a villain most of the time when i'm mad i am MADE and don't care about bein' nice and i can be pretty violent
tho my violence is mostly bark, and my bite is just whacking you with my backpack when you tick me off, haha
They do in the first saga frontier game. It affects how quickly the character your using learns skills and how their attributes grow.
Because negative and positive may have different connotations in a different culture.
I've seen that in anime and other stuff. Figured it was something like "what's your sign." Fascinating video!
Yeah I figured this out by playing Star Ocean 3, one of the earlier events asks your character what your blood group is, and the dude explains what it each means and the first answer influences your affection rating to current and later party members who join you.
I thought it was because people like to keep others with the same blood type around... or maybe that's just me...
the Japanese are particularly racist.
captnhuffy That......That's racist...
***** No not you the other guy said the japanese are racist which is racist.I meant it as a joke mostly though as i realise japan is a pretty xenophobic place.
NI_Sambo_NJ Isn't everywhere?
ELbabotas Shinigami Japanese are known for being particularly xenophobic, which is kind of normal considering they don't have that many immigrants for such an advanced country.
This explains a lot to a matter I never really noticed... But it's very interesting nevertheless.
It turns out I'm a Paleblood.

Squall was an awesome protagonist! One of my favourites.
I'm so glad I found this. I know in DRAMAtical Murder they show the blood types when they introduce each character. I always wondered why they put that in there.
Damn I miss game manuals. I remember splinter cell chaos theory talked about everyone's background and weapons.
yeah Ibused to love when i gor
t a bunch of games and read about the characters and weapons or whatever in the car on the way home. Gta always had funny manuals aswell

So, basically - it's kinda like when american games tell a characters day of birth or starsign.
Got it.
american games? just say western games. i'm an american and i've never played a game that mentions starsigns. exluding the elder scrolls games but thats all its own thing.
1- Not gonna say «western» because I reject the notion that Greenwitch, UK is the non-arbitrary longitudinal center of the world.
2- I was thinking specifically about games developped in UnitedStadian and Canadian studios, so I'm not gonna pretend to include European and African studios if I'm not going to talk about them.
3- I give flank to the criticism that I'm excluding everything south of Mexico from what I call American, and, for that, I must apologize. I should have said «North American»

Hi, I’m a donut, can I steal this?
Jane talks video game science is my favorite oxbox series.
Totally was not looking for this video, but the title was too good to ignore
O+, Spy.
A+, Agent.
B+, Assassin.
AB+, Ninja.
O-, Reporter.
A-, Policeman.
B-, Mercenary.
AB-, Thief.
But, I don't wanna kill people. ):
Yaaay I'm a ninja!
Sorry scientistcat, you have no choice...
Agent? What does that even mean? Is that like an in between Spy and Assassin? If so, it doesnt quite work for me. *dies on stealth game tutorial mission
I didn't think type O could be + or -.
blood type O for me none of the descriptions match me. good job japan, you made something that correlates to me the same as astrology
My blood type is 99% alcohol, what does that say about me?
You're Irish.
Mustache Banana's EMAIL definitely
I never wanted to know a character's exact height until Japan made me realize I *need* this information.
Even if you don't believe in blood type stuff, it's kind of interesting regardless because it's such an intimate detail about a character that makes them seem more real. How many friends do you have where you know their bloodtypes?
Well unless I would need their blood i don't need to know their blood type.
Like this kind of informative vids mixed in with the lists. Kickass.
LOL the Japanese ACTUALLY believe this? OMG thats hilarious.
she said it was similar to a horoscope. So only stupid Japanese people believe this.
Well thats what I thought. But then they said people would be bullied over it, so it must be quite a few people.
good point, I never heard of someone getting bullied over a horoscope
I've never heard of someone being bullied over their Date of Birth. I actually don't know anyone who believes horoscopes, I don't even know how they are a thing still.
And I would hope bullying over a blood type is rare.
***** I dont even know what types of horoscopes there are. I just judge people on their actions.
Having the same blood type as Albert Wesker is.. what do I have to say.. kind of honorable.
+rob140892 what was the deal with all this wesker children stuff
+timebomb456 Oh dude, the Japanese fucking love lore and so do I. Couple dozen children were chosen for experimentation by Spencer (CEO of Umbrella) in order to create the perfect human being so that he could use that knowledge to make himself a god. Only two known survivors from the Wesker project: Alex and Albert. Alex is an absolute super-genius (some fan theories depict him as the true mastermind behind most of the events in Resident Evil and the believed inventor of most of the viruses floating about on the black market.) Albert was the strongest and closer to being a god than Alex, however his abilities were limited by the fact that even though he was so strong he was still human; Albert charged his good friend Dr. Birkin (G) with creating a virus specifically designed for Albert's natural affinity with any and every disease/virus known to mankind. The ensuing product was the Wesker Virus, granting Albert with the superhuman abilities he once possessed, however it was so strong that Albert needed to take a vaccine of sorts to control the virus, basically like the jacket for Mr X it worked as an inhibitor too, restricting Albert from turning into a monster retaining his human form and sanity with unending strength and near immortality. If Albert had not mixed with Uroboros he might have actually survived the events of Resi 5 due to the viruses' cell reproduction but Uroboros made the virus incredibly unstable and eventually was his undoing, (Uroboros literally made Wesker a fucking target, look how shit Uroboros was compared to viruses like G though...)
Hopefully that answered your question, and btw this is a brief summary of the Wesker Project; there is so much lore for Resident Evil and I implore you to read into it as some of it is absolute brilliance.
wait alex was a girl
+timebomb456 You're probably right but you asked what's the deal with the Wesker children so I told you. I apologise for referring to Alex is a he however the gender isn't exactly the most important thing to focus on, is it?
Of course Jane being Type O would be too close minded to believe this.
(I'm kidding!!)
What the?
This... was... surprisingly informative. Good stuff.
this was an unusually well-presented, well-edited video.
Speculation for fun only: Different counties, cultures, and Regions can sometimes create pockets where some blood Types are more or less frequent. I forgot the details, but I know that genetically O blood is a reccesive gene and there for should not be prominent theoretically, but Americans with certain Europeans decent are more likely to have O-Type blood. Significance? What are actually nothing more than cultural differences may be mistakenly connected to blood type due to an irrelevant correlation.
I don't even know my blood type...
welp, that's not good if you plan on donating blood ever
same
If you donate they can tell you what your bloodtype is :P

And why would I want to know?
SKy_the_Thunder ...
I swear, there is not enough hate in the world for how much I can't stand Lightning and her "what if we made Cloud a girl?" bullshit.
Yes! Such a flat character because of that.
As if the "Cloud is an emo with no depth" stereotype wasn't despised by FF7 fans enough already.
How did I just now find this video? It's one of the most interesting ox vids I've ever seen
In Dead Island they include blood type because all the characters share a blood type which makes them immune to the infection.

47, Chun-li's Age... And she still looks like, 20+ in SFV WTF?
She's Asian.... all the reason you need.
There is a game theory that SF is set in the mid-90s.
Vaas Montenegro smokes a shit ton of weed
Vaas Montenegro Fighting game developers often refuse to let their characters age properly and instead of showing us our favourite bum-kicker in his/her fifties, all covered in wrinkles, with gray hair and horrible backpains, they will pull some tricks to fool us into thinking he/she is still young.
The only difference is how they achieve this goal - for instance, Street Fighter will rely on heavily stylized graphics, Tekken/Soul Calibur will introduce the character's offspring (who looks eerily similar to the parent), King of Fighters will out-right *refuse* to let its roaster age (and then introduce both 24-year-old "vanilla" Terry Bogard and 34-year-old "Wild Wolf" Terry Bogard in a single game) and Mortal Kombat will pull off the Tekken/SoulCal trick... combined with adding craploads of reskin characters, plot-twists out of the game's rear end, "Netherrealm cannot model a human face fo' sh*t" and "EVERYBODY HAS BEARDS NAO"...
...sorry, I couldn't resist joking about MK.
Anyways. That's a good question, actually... Somebody could even make a whole video about it.

And I thought it was going to have something to do with how much blood they lost from nose bleeds if the see someone naked.
In One Piece series, Luffy's crew and himself also have blood types.
Luffy: B(+)
Zoro: AB
Nami: A
Usopp: O(+)
Sanji: O(-) Sanji can give blood to any of his crew members, he's a life saver.
Chopper:A
Robin: O
Franky: AB
Brook: A
BTY: I'm A (-) NEGATIVE.
+John Daidone Brook's blood type *used to be* A anyway. Skull joke!
YoHoHo, YoHoHo. (laugh)
Reminds me of the persuasion augmentation tree in Deus Ex: HR, where the icons for Alpha, Beta, and Omega personalities would light up during the conversation (as it went along too) in response to the party's choice of words. At first I thought they were just going with the easily recognizable ABO letters to identify the tags, but now I'm wondering if its based off of this same blood type horticultural stuff?
this explains so much anime exposition i always wondered why this came up in intros of characters
I think I have the wrong blood type. I'm more of an AB than an O.
I'm blood type 0 and I have personality of blood type A XD
when i dont even know my blood type
I'm blood type A+
My Asian father is so impressed. Still not a doctor.
1:02, nice drawing there Mike!
Holy crap! I actually learned something from your videos. Here, have my like!
I watch a lot of anime, and I have never even heard of this before? I mean, I'm not a Japanese expert, but I feel like I would've seen somebody in some anime/manga give their blood type before if it was really such a big thing? Or am I just being arrogant?
Actually I've watched animes that give blood types. Before every battle 'law of ueki' would tell the bloodtype. Its a small detail that you mayhave overlooked or even not subbed/dubbed cause its un important
You'd think, but I've seen plenty of anime that give blood types, (as well as likes and... favorite.. foods?) Though not usually within the actual anime itself.
even if they don't say it or show it at some point within the actual anime or manga there will sometimes be little extra pages in manga that give a little bio about a character that generally includes blood type and if you look on the wikis for most animes you'll see a lot of them include blood type as well
The only one I've seen that shows bloodtype is Date A Live, which was also the example in the video ^____^
Well, they don't always mention it in the anime itself (which isn't to say that they don't), but if you look for character bios online or in promotional material, they usually include blood type.
The belief that your blood or when your born affects your personality is just funny.
Japan makes too much sense. Of course my blood plays a key role in my personality. Isn't it obvious?
For Christ's sake, Japan. What are you doing?
+Gage Frederickson Well, then again the Chinese believe their astrologic sign dictates personality, some Native American tribes pinned that on Totem Animal or Totem Plant, some people base it on their ascendency, some say it's the date of birth, the phase of the moon on their birth, the food they eat, etc
All in all, we're all pretty crazy
ridiculous........ 😂
Doing the same thing everyone else is doing? Seriously, you even put Christ in your comment, a fictional guy who's apparently gods son, the original Gary Stu..... you many laugh, others are laughing back at your own stupidity.
This was it... the first outsidexbox video I ever saw... *wipes tear away* Ah, the preshmems.
This was a nice little vid with some good info. I always wondered about this! Thanks~
O... arrogant, maybe it's cause we are the UNIVERSAL DONOR you all others need us round :D (not meant in seriousness)
+Janik13 Technically the universal donor is O-. O+, such as myself, is useful, but not perfect. Also, there's the added problem of your specific blood type being the one that's automatically used on people, what if they ran out?
Terreliv - Good that you're O+ at least, even my blood type is utterly useless (AB+) can only donate to other AB+ but they're universal receivers anyway.
Please, you're just opening up a huge pile of Blood Group Pickup Lines....
O baby. ;-)
Are you positive that is what they are doing?
needsnaming sheesh, no reason for you to B-
Why doesn't Japan give us info about characters that matters? Like does my character like long walks on the beach? Has he ever been caught masturbating in a public bathroom? Or even does he prefer Meth or PCP? I could care less about his personality give us the real info we need like those I listed.
Couldn't care less.
If you could care less then you do care.
Underscore Poet
Unless you are a sociopath you care about everything to a varying degree. Seeing how you think it is acceptable for a human being to not care about something means you show a trait of being a Sociopath through lack of empathy. I care only because I would hate to see a human being locked up for the rest of their life before they could get medication that would help them balance the issues in their brain. So go get help before you end up killing a man and being bent over by Bubbha in prison.
cld1472
What? What?
You messed up, admit it. You tried to make a point about not caring, but you said the saying wrong.
cld1472
Then your point is completely redundant, you used an expression intended to represent apathy, but you actively said that you DO care.
I honestly can't tell if you're trying to mess with me or not, if not, then... Are you high or something, because everything you're saying is insane.
Underscore Poet
I am the sane one here, what I said was what I said and what I meant. You have signs of being detached from humanity by thinking people are unable to care. We are not all psychopaths like yourself and there is mediation for your issue.
this was way more interesting than I would have guessed from the title.
and yes, squall is my spirit animal. ff8 is underrated.
Really interesting. I always wondered why they had those in the manuals
is mayonnaise a blood type
No micheal, mayonnaise isn't a blood type, however it is a beautiful instrument.
No, Tumblr, Mayonnaise isn't a gender.
@@folksy1813 yes
Woo blood type O bitchs!
Just so you know thats extremly good and bad cause if you need blood and because its rare and you could die well you get the point

Thank you for making this! I wanted to know, but never really looked into it.

Hey that was actually quite interesting! Good job!
love this kind of informative video, thanks Jane
