		+
		+	'''20X6''' (pronounced "twenty-exty-six") is a series of cartoons that reinterpret the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)\|Homestar Runner]] body of work and its [[characters]] in a spoof of {{w\|Manga iconography\|stereotypical}} [[anime]]. The X in "20X6" is meant to indicate an unspecified year yet to come, allowing the setting to still be "in the future" even as real-world time has advanced past 2006 and 2016.
		+
		+	== Setting ==
		+	20X6-era toons often take place on [[Planet K]], an earth-like planet illustrated in a slick, simplified visual style. The game [[Stinkoman 20X6]] features many and varied locales such as [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 4\|volcanoes]], [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 7\|glaciers]], and the planet's [[moon]].
		+
		+	The [[Strong Bad Email]] [[japanese cartoon]] indicates that the world of 20X6 exists in the fictional television series ''Stinko Man K 20X6''. Alternatively, the email [[time capsule]] depicts 20X6 as taking place in the future of the regular [[Homestar Runner universe]], with Planet K as a futuristic [[Free Country, USA]]. [[Strong Bad]] buries a time capsule to be revealed "in at least '''X0''' years," which is eventually uncovered by Stinkoman.
		+
		+	== Characters ==
		+	:''See also [[Characters#20X6\|20X6 Characters]] and [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items\|Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies]].''
		+	[[File:aug10.jpeg\|thumb\|"I could be mistaken but are you asking for a CHALLENGE??!"]]
		+	20X6 stars anime versions of the standard "present era" characters, often dramatically reinterpreted or with very distinct personalities from their original incarnations. Additional characters are original to the 20X6 world, without a direct counterpart.
		+
		+	*[[Stinkoman]] ([[Strong Bad]]) {{--}} A blue-haired fighter obsessed with training and seeking out worthy opponents to challenge.
		+	** Stinkoman primarily parodies characters from ''{{w\|Akira (1988 film)\|Akira}}'' and ''{{w\|Dragon Ball Z}}'', with elements of his visual design similar to that of [[Mega Man]].
		+	** His minor redesign in the [[Stinkoman 20X6 Intro Cinematic]] is comparable to {{w\|Susumu Kodai\|Derek Wildstar}} from ''{{w\|Star Blazers}}'', particularly his hairstyle.
		+	*[[1-Up]] ([[Homestar Runner]]) {{--}} A cheery kid who idolizes Stinkoman and wants "to be the guy" just like him.
		+	*[[Pan Pan]] ([[Pom Pom]]) {{--}} A {{w\|giant panda}} with an insatiable appetite.
		+	** Pan Pan can be compared to animal characters like Genma the panda from ''{{w\|Ranma ½}}'' or Pen Pen the penguin from ''{{w\|Neon Genesis Evangelion}}''.
		+	*[[Marzi-Mei]] ([[Marzipan]]) {{--}} A {{w\|magical girl}} with musical powers activated by playing [[Carol\|her shamisen]].
		+	** An earlier iteration of Marzi-Mei resembled {{w\|Sailor Moon (character)\|Sailor Moon}}.
		+	*[[Z Sabre]] ([[Coach Z]]) {{--}} A powerful villain who seeks to defeat Stinkoman and claim the title of "the guy".
		+	** Z Sabre's design is an amalgamation of {{w\|Zero (Mega Man)\|Zero}} and {{w\|Sigma (Mega Man X)\|Sigma}} from ''{{wp\|Mega Man X}}'', with elements of {{wp\|M. Bison}} from the ''[[Street Fighter]]'' series.
		+	*[[Cheatball]] ([[The Cheat]])
		+	** An animalistic character only capable of speaking its own name, Cheatball is reminiscent of many [[Pokémon]].
		+	** [[The Brothers Chaps]] originally conceived of the 20X6 version of The Cheat as a spaceship.
		+	*[[Trogador]] ([[Trogdor]])
		+	**Trogador is an {{w\|Chinese dragon\|Asian dragon}}, with his beefy arm resembling one belonging to {{w\|Goku}} from ''Dragon Ball''.
		+	*[[Sticklyman]] <!-- We had a discussion on whether or not Sticklyman is supposed to be The Poopsmith, and decided in the end that, without more evidence, we shouldn't assume that it's true. Please don't add it. -->
		+	** Sticklyman fits in the trend of [[Flash]]-animated stick figures engaging in highly stylized, well-animated combat, popularized by Chinese series ''{{w\|Xiao Xiao}}''.
		+	*[[Nebulon]] (Nebulon)
		+	**The alien appears much stronger and larger in his 20X6 incarnation.
		+
		+	== Stylistic Influences ==
		+	The stylistic practice of [[TVTropes:Main/YearX\|using "X" in place of a numeral to obscure a year set in the future]] has been used in multiple notable Japanese video games. The closest equivalent is {{w\|Metroid (video game)\|the original}} ''[[Metroid]]'' game, set in {{p\|l=https://metroid.fandom.com/wiki/Year_20X5 the year 20X5}}; the ''[[Mega Man]]'' series regularly uses 200X and 20XX (with spinoff series ''Mega Man X'' taking place in 21XX).
		+
		+	The anime inspiration on 20X6 is usually very broad, typically leaning on {{w\|Manga iconography\|common anime iconography}} and visuals rather than direct parodies of specific anime series. Anime with outsize pop-culture prominence in America, such as ''[[Akira]]'', ''{{w\|Sailor Moon}}'', and ''{{w\|Dragon Ball}}'', have noticeable influence on 20X6. Additional character-specific design influences are [[#Characters\|noted in the section above]].
		+
		+	20X6 characters often speak in an exaggerated and overly dramatic tone, occasionally with [[deliberately poor English]]. This is evocative of certain {{w\|Dubbing\|English dubs}} of Japanese animation, particularly the 1960s dub of ''{{w\|Speed Racer}}'' and the 1989 dub of ''[[Akira]]''.

-	'''20X6''' is a series of cartoons that ~~depict~~ the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)\|Homestar Runner]] body of work and its [[characters]] in ~~the style~~ of stereotypical [[~~Anime\|Japanese animation~~]]. ~~Pronounced~~ "~~twenty exty-six~~"~~, this era satirizes elements of video games such as ''[[Mega Man]]'' and ''[[Metroid]]'', wherein the year~~ is ~~referred~~ to ~~as 200X, 20XX, 21XX, or 20X5~~, or the ~~game ''[[Wikipedia:EarthBound\|EarthBound]]'',~~ in ~~which~~ the ~~year is given~~ as ~~199X~~.	+	'''20X6''' (pronounced "twenty-exty-six") is a series of cartoons that reinterpret the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)\|Homestar Runner]] body of work and its [[characters]] in a spoof of {{w\|Manga iconography\|stereotypical}} [[anime]]. The X in "20X6" is meant to indicate an unspecified year yet to come, allowing the setting to still be "in the future" even as real-world time has advanced past 2006 and 2016.

-	20X6 ~~stars anime versions of the standard "present~~ era~~" characters: Strong Bad becomes Stinkoman~~, a ~~reference to the~~ [[~~Strong Bad Email~~]] [[~~island~~]]~~. Homestar Runner becomes 1-Up~~, ~~a kid who wants to be "the guy", just like~~ Stinkoman~~. Pom Pom becomes a hungry panda called Pan Pan. Marzipan, Coach Z~~, and ~~The Cheat also make minor 20X6 appearances as well~~.	+	== Setting ==
		+	20X6-era toons often take place on [[Planet K]], an earth-like planet illustrated in a slick, simplified visual style. The game [[Stinkoman 20X6]] features many and varied locales such as [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 4\|volcanoes]], [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 7\|glaciers]], and the planet's [[moon]].

-	~~It takes place on~~ [[~~Planet K~~]], ~~but it also seems to be~~ the future of [[~~Free Country, USA~~]], as ~~shown in~~ [[~~time capsule~~]]. Strong Bad ~~is asked ''"why not make~~ a time capsule ~~of stuff filled with stuff about you~~ to be ~~opened~~ in at least '''X0''' years."'' Stinkoman ~~then finds~~ Strong Bad'~~s time capsule~~ and 1-Up ~~finds~~ Homestar's ~~time box~~.	+	The [[Strong Bad Email]] [[japanese cartoon]] indicates that the world of 20X6 exists in the fictional television series ''Stinko Man K 20X6''. Alternatively, the email [[time capsule]] depicts 20X6 as taking place in the future of the regular [[Homestar Runner universe]], with Planet K as a futuristic [[Free Country, USA]]. [[Strong Bad]] buries a time capsule to be revealed "in at least '''X0''' years," which is eventually uncovered by Stinkoman.

		+	[[File:aug10.jpeg\|thumb\|"I could be mistaken but are you asking for a CHALLENGE??!"]]
		+	20X6 stars anime versions of the standard "present era" characters, often dramatically reinterpreted or with very distinct personalities from their original incarnations. Additional characters are original to the 20X6 world, without a direct counterpart.
		+
		+	*[[Stinkoman]] ([[Strong Bad]]) {{--}} A blue-haired fighter obsessed with training and seeking out worthy opponents to challenge.
		+	** Stinkoman primarily parodies characters from ''{{w\|Akira (1988 film)\|Akira}}'' and ''{{w\|Dragon Ball Z}}'', with elements of his visual design similar to that of [[Mega Man]].
		+	** His minor redesign in the [[Stinkoman 20X6 Intro Cinematic]] is comparable to {{w\|Susumu Kodai\|Derek Wildstar}} from ''{{w\|Star Blazers}}'', particularly his hairstyle.
		+	*[[1-Up]] ([[Homestar Runner]]) {{--}} A cheery kid who idolizes Stinkoman and wants "to be the guy" just like him.
		+	*[[Pan Pan]] ([[Pom Pom]]) {{--}} A {{w\|giant panda}} with an insatiable appetite.
		+	** Pan Pan can be compared to animal characters like Genma the panda from ''{{w\|Ranma ½}}'' or Pen Pen the penguin from ''{{w\|Neon Genesis Evangelion}}''.
		+	*[[Marzi-Mei]] ([[Marzipan]]) {{--}} A {{w\|magical girl}} with musical powers activated by playing [[Carol\|her shamisen]].
		+	** An earlier iteration of Marzi-Mei resembled {{w\|Sailor Moon (character)\|Sailor Moon}}.
		+	*[[Z Sabre]] ([[Coach Z]]) {{--}} A powerful villain who seeks to defeat Stinkoman and claim the title of "the guy".
		+	** Z Sabre's design is an amalgamation of {{w\|Zero (Mega Man)\|Zero}} and {{w\|Sigma (Mega Man X)\|Sigma}} from ''{{wp\|Mega Man X}}'', with elements of {{wp\|M. Bison}} from the ''[[Street Fighter]]'' series.
		+	*[[Cheatball]] ([[The Cheat]])
		+	** An animalistic character only capable of speaking its own name, Cheatball is reminiscent of many [[Pokémon]].
		+	** [[The Brothers Chaps]] originally conceived of the 20X6 version of The Cheat as a spaceship.
		+	*[[Trogador]] ([[Trogdor]])
		+	**Trogador is an {{w\|Chinese dragon\|Asian dragon}}, with his beefy arm resembling one belonging to {{w\|Goku}} from ''Dragon Ball''.
		+	*[[Sticklyman]] <!-- We had a discussion on whether or not Sticklyman is supposed to be The Poopsmith, and decided in the end that, without more evidence, we shouldn't assume that it's true. Please don't add it. -->
		+	** Sticklyman fits in the trend of [[Flash]]-animated stick figures engaging in highly stylized, well-animated combat, popularized by Chinese series ''{{w\|Xiao Xiao}}''.
		+	*[[Nebulon]] (Nebulon)
		+	**The alien appears much stronger and larger in his 20X6 incarnation.
		+
		+	== Stylistic Influences ==
		+	The stylistic practice of using "X" in place of a numeral to obscure a year set in the future has been used in multiple notable Japanese video games. The closest equivalent is {{w\|Metroid (video game)\|the original}} ''[[Metroid]]'' game, set in {{p\|l=https://metroid.fandom.com/wiki/Year_20X5 the year 20X5}}; the ''[[Mega Man]]'' series regularly uses 200X and 20XX (with spinoff series ''Mega Man X'' taking place in 21XX). The game ''{{w\|EarthBound}}'' is set in the year 199X, meant to indicate a modern-day setting.
		+
		+	The anime inspiration on 20X6 is usually very broad, typically leaning on {{w\|Manga iconography\|common anime iconography}} and visuals rather than direct parodies of specific anime series. Anime with outsize pop-culture prominence in America, such as ''[[Akira]]'', ''{{w\|Sailor Moon}}'', and ''{{w\|Dragon Ball}}'', have noticeable influence on 20X6. Additional character-specific design influences are [[#Characters\|noted in the section above]].
		+
		+	20X6 characters often speak in an exaggerated and overly dramatic tone, occasionally with [[deliberately poor English]]. This is evocative of certain {{w\|Dubbing\|English dubs}} of Japanese animation, particularly the 1960s dub of ''{{w\|Speed Racer}}'' and the 1989 dub of ''[[Akira]]''.
