Title: Urusei Yatsura reference in Black Jack?
Post by: Urusei0Yatsura on October 24, 2009, 02:49:06 AM: In the Black Jack story 'Tetsu of the Yamanote Main Line', there is an inspector called Tomobiki which is an part of Tokyo in the Nerima area in Urusei Yatsura. The Urusei Yatsura manga ran 1978–87 and the the Black Jack manga ran 1973-83 so its conceivable.

The manga story can be read here http://www.mangafox.com/manga/black_jack/v04/c007/1.html (http://www.mangafox.com/manga/black_jack/v04/c007/1.html) and the exact page with the reference can be found here http://www.mangafox.com/manga/black_jack/v04/c007/13.html (http://www.mangafox.com/manga/black_jack/v04/c007/13.html).

I know:

Sakura Haruno - Naruto/Naruto Shippuuden
Sakura - Urusei Yatsura
Sakura - CardCaptor Sakura
(and some other supporter characters that appear in 1-2 episodes)

That's just an example and if you go to www.myanimelist.com and type "Sakura" on "Characters" it will appear a huge list and it doesn't mean that all those Sakuras exist because they're a refference to the first Sakura.

It's his last/family name though. :P

I'm sorry but could you rephrase your question? I can't understand what you're asking. =\

Post by: FallinG_StaR on October 25, 2009, 01:15:10 AM: He's asking for you to give him other examples of the name Tomobiki being used in other manga...

But if you find the date that Volume 4 was printed and appeared in Weekly Shōnen Champion you might solve the case... because if it was printed before 1978... then your theory goes down the drain.

Btw, tomobiki = good day for business and lawsuits (trial day) so...

From myanimelist database there is nothing (characters, Anime or Manga) with Tomobiki in their names.
