Does anyone know how it really is?

Exactly exactly no. But it's from Samurai Champloo. Jin talking about Mugen. At the very least, he says something to that effect on episode 1 or 2 if I'm not mistaken during the fight in the burning bar. But, you didn't answer Never's so I'll leave that open. (I'm tempted to say "...The force" just for the hell of it, but I don't think the coincidence bit is part of the Jedi code.)


It isn't originally from there. It's an older saying.

...there are some things that can beat smartness and foresight. Awkwardness and stupidity can. The best swordsman in the world doesn't need to fear the second best swordsman in the world; no, the person for him to be afraid of is some ignorant antagonist who has never had a sword in his hand before; he doesn't do the thing he ought to do, and so the expert isn't prepared for him.


That is the original quote by Mark Twain.


That's what I hate about quotes and shout outs... :( When you think you got something cool, it's already and adaptation of something you don't know...
Thanks for clearing that up Sicon. Always nice to be able to give credit to the original authors! :D

That is the original quote by Mark Twain.

And I was thinking it was some idiom from Asia or something.

"...is there in making sense?"

Now for a hard one. No Google, cause I happen to know this will come up if you do...

"Your boot is unlaced? You show me magic so powerful that it recreated existence, and blades so strong that they're leaving me feeling a little inadequate..."

Admittedly, that last one was evil. If no one wants to play with that one, just skip it.

Hint, please?

I'll only give up if I have NO IDEA what it is.

Hint: No one will ever guess it. That's why I said to skip it unless you want to. But for those who want to, it does have a decently sized Tv Tropes page from which I copied that quote. It's surprising, given what type of story it is... No Tv Trope searching the page either...

EDIT: I ran across the Tv Tropes page while doing something else and saw that quote. I figured it was cool, so I decided to see if ANYONE ever had seen the page too. Obviously not. That was just a test. Continue playing if you can't figure it out...

Hint 3: In this creepypasta, THE RIDE NEVER ENDS.

If you don't get it by now, then you need to lurk more.

Two more hints.

Hint 5: You are the main character in this creepypasta.

FINAL HINT: #Riddletime!

My Ride Beckons On New Events See, so When I Leave, Don't Release rides on Idle Dumb Eves.

Look at the caps.

If you need to drop that many hints, you may as well link us to the thing already.

Really?

None of you have heard of Mr. Bone's Wild Ride, a creepypasta revolving around a haunted roller coaster in Roller Coster Tycoon involving a Skeleton, which is 2spooky4u?

The quote is:

"And I screamed: I WANT TO GET OFF OF MR. BONE'S WILD RIDE!"
