That pattern is severely overused

"Kill Bill" is actually based on a Japanese manga from 1972. The original title was called "Lady Snowblood" (later also released as a movie).

And because Tarantino is a fan of Ghost in the Shell, he hired the Japanese animation studio that produced the Ghost in the Shell movie from 1995. They then created the animated backstory of O-Ren Ishii which is literally an anime sequence within the "Kill Bill" movie.

Another influence for "Kill Bill" was the manga "Lone Wolf and Cub" from 1970.

And the iconic yellow tracksuit of the "Kill Bill" main character (Uma Thurman) was taken from the Hong Kong movie "Game of Death" with Bruce Lee.

Japan and the East have forever inspired and fascinated the West. Either directly or indirectly.

Just like Naruto, Jujutsu Kaisen, and One Piece, we follow the tradition of chibi / SD (ちび・スーパーデフォルメ) content for bonus material, non-canon segments, and behind-the-scenes illustrations.
From a business perspective, this is commercially valuable because chibi / SD formats naturally translate into merchandise, social media content, short animated clips etc.
But it also gives Majin a clear separation between the main canon (serious, dark, beautiful, high-impact character art) vs. the chibi / SD style, which functions as a lighter, non-canon extension of the world.
This is a proven approach within anime / manga culture which allows a brand to keep its main story and visual identity while creating lighter, more accessible content that new fans can enjoy.
We want Majin to be authentic Japanese through and through. So we learn from the most successful franchises and empower our Japanese artists to uphold traditions and the highest standards.

Brands like Azuki or DeGods had massive traction because they did things differently. They gave the industry something entirely new.
And they both followed very specific steps to build their collections. It’s important for us to learn from them so that we can push the space further and make NFTs exciting again.

[Majin 魔人 @majinbrand]

We create the universe first, and then place our NFTs, traits, grails, etc. in it.
The old recipe of launching a 10k collection into a void, and then coming up with lore and meaning after the fact won't work anymore. It's not convincing enough to compete with bluechips.
That's why we have to take it further. Yes, the metaverse might not become a reality, but just like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars built their own worlds, we aim to do the same, because it's a proven way to make an IP mainstream compatible and attractive to an audience beyond web3.

In our pursuit of timeless aesthetics, we take inspiration from the Greek and Roman Empires.

⚠️ALERT: HACKERS CLAIM MASSIVE GITHUB INTERNAL SOURCE CODE BREACH

Threat group TeamPCP has claimed responsibility for breaching GitHub’s internal systems and stealing data tied to roughly 4,000 private repositories allegedly containing proprietary platform source code and internal organization files.

The group is reportedly attempting to sell the dataset on underground cybercrime forums for more than $50,000.

While GitHub confirmed it is investigating unauthorized access to internal repositories, developers are urged to double check and change API keys if present in repos.

My ambitions for the artwork of Majin is that it excites an audience beyond the crypto and NFT space. I want to achieve mainstream virality and give the world something beautiful that's universally appreciated.

@mrseanvvv vVv breaking away from dependence on broader market conditions is what separates it from every other project.
Independence is the differentiator.

This is the way.
