#Enma Daio

[mr-buisson-bosquet]

Something I realized is that Keita and Koen have a LOT of similarities. They both have red as a main color, a legacy kept by their respective grandfathers (the creation of the yo-Kai Watch for Keita and the Enma clan for koen) and both of them share the same ideals about the bond between humans and yo-kais, but also played a major role in it.

It's true that I never quite paid attention to this before, but these two do indeed have a lot in common !

I guess you could say that both are also a sort of ambassador in their own kingdom as well, with Koen in the Yomakai and Keita in the human world-

I also realised something, but their personalities when together could also be associated to Itsuki and Shin from Forever Friends !

By going even further, we could even theorize that this is the same friendship, simply in a different timeline ! And while we know that Nathaniel and Shin are from different families, I think this theory still has some charm nonetheless !

Itsuki, the independant, rebellious but somewhat mature twelve year old, not by choice but because of the loss of every one of his family member. And Shin, the unnoticeable mailman, living an average life (in the beginning at least) who inspires Itsuki to become a great ruler to make his friend proud.

All of this could sound quite familiar to Koen and Keita !

Koen, the young king without a biological family, pressured into perfection to be as responsible and mature as possible, and Keita ! The average boy without much to tell, who will help his newly made friend (that being Koen in the second movie) to become a better ruler that everyone can be proud of. Which would also explain why Koen immediately put his trust in him, beyond simply his role of Watcher, and why they always get along so well.

And even though Shin and Keita are absolutely not related whatsoever, maybe the sole fact of finding a Watcher with a similar personality to his former friend was enough for Koen to make friends with him !

But if this whole argument still makes a tiny bit of sense, it goes to show that mourning is definitely a difficult task for Enma... even if he manages to see Shin again several years later, this poor kid must have felt so much guilt all this time...

But anyway, thank you very much for pointing these similarities out because I would never have noticed them on my own ! I don't really pay much attention to Keita in general, so it's especially fun to link him to Koen once in a while ! XD

What is Goku's morality?

Goku has a good head on his shoulders usually. He has an innocent and "childlike" approach to morality in the sense that Goku doesn't have a complex or nuanced approach to right and wrong. He's just a compassionate person who likes it when people are happy and safe.

I do specify "usually", however. While Goku's moral compass is wound pretty well, he also has what Toriyama called the "poison" in his character: A deep-seated personal flaw that conflicts with his moral center, making for an interesting and nuanced protagonist rather than a one-dimensional paragon.

Pretty much from the get-go, as early as chapter 3, Goku and Bulma were being set up as moral foils to one another. Goku's purehearted innocence contrasted against Bulma's self-centered callousness.

This is made explicit when Goku receives his Kintoun/Flying Nimbus, a metaphysical test of virtue that only someone who's pure of heart can ride. This serves as a litmus test for how we're meant to read various characters, in terms of their morality.

FAILURE

PASS

FAILURE

PASS

FAILURE

PASS. Uh, this alter, at least.

And so on. In terms of morality, Goku takes a pretty simple position: He doesn't like it when people are being hurt or oppressed. That's it. That's all there is to it. Goku has a strong sense of compassion for others and while he doesn't go actively looking for wrongs to right, he can't look the other way when they land in front of him.

Oh, you're being enslaved by a militant warlord? That's not nice. Goku's gonna go file a complaint. Stapled to the general's face.

He was just here to find a Dragon Ball but, as long as he's in the area, he might as well liberate an oppressed population. Goku loves to help others.

In fact, the RRA arc is a great demonstration of Goku's moral center, because he didn't have to go to war with the Red Ribbon Army. Goku finds what he's looking for about 2/3 of the way through.

That's it. That's all he wanted. He's done. Goku's mission is complete; He can go home now. He has zero investment in any further conflict with Red Ribbon.

...until this happens.

Bora's death sets in motion the events that will carry Goku through the rest of the arc: His rematch with Taopaipai, the siege of Red Ribbon HQ, and the Uranai Baba Tournament are all for the sake of this man, a man Goku's known for like ten minutes, who lost his life because he tried to protect Goku from Taopaipai.

Everything after this point is revenge for Bora and the utility of getting what Goku needs to make Dragon Ball's very first resurrection wish.

Hiring Taopaipai was a mistake that turned Goku from a meddlesome interference into a vengeful nemesis gunning straight for their door.

This more or less remains Goku's relationship with the various ne'er-do-wells of Dragon Ball. He doesn't like when people get hurt, and he relishes opportunities to fuck up their oppressors.

If you hurt people in front of Goku, he's gonna fuck you up.

If you hurt people he likes, may Enma-Daio have mercy on your soul.

But.

This is where Goku's "poison" comes into play. Goku is a moral person but it isn't morality that drives him. If he sees a mugging taking place (and understands what he's seeing) he'll go punch the mugger, to be sure. But he's not looking for muggers to punch.

Goku has heroic inclinations, but he is not a superhero. He's an athlete looking for good sport. A martial artist driven by a desire for self-improvement, always on the lookout for his next rival. This complicates the way he approaches the villains of the story.

What Goku wants, more than anything, is a rival who can keep pace with him. A chance to push his limits and test himself. It's at the end of the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai where we first see Goku's poison begin to push him into... questionable decision-making.

The reincarnated Piccolo uses the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai as a chance to get revenge against Goku. This stops being a martial arts tournament once the poorly-aliased "Demon Junior" reveals his true identity.

Or, at least, it probably should have. But Goku is hellbent on taking the title of Strongest Under the Heavens even if the whole goddamn island is about to get leveled. To the bitter end, Goku refuses to let this stop being a sports competition.

There is nothing on Earth more important than this.

The thing about Goku is that he's really good at mixing his morality with his poison.

He gives Piccolo a Senzu to restore him to full strength after the match, then sends him on his way hoping Piccolo will come after him for revenge some day. He wants to use Piccolo as a motivator to keep pushing himself - An incredibly dangerous decision to make given that this man wants to kill him and conquer the world.

Goku makes the moral argument that they can't kill Piccolo without killing God, but as Krillin points out, this isn't a binary choice. They could have sealed Piccolo away with the Mafuba/Evil Containment Wave while he was lying helpless on the ground.

You know. Instead of giving him a Senzu and wishing him tremendous gains. This is Goku's poison in action. We see it again with Vegeta, where Goku even admits that he's being unbelievably self-serving by insisting on sparing Vegeta's life.

We see his poison strike when he agrees with Vegeta to do nothing and allow the Androids to be created. Once again coming up with a moral angle to it, but only after his kneejerk reaction of wanting to fight.

But it's easy to overlook because Goku's questionable decisions tend to work out for the best anyway. This poor man's been searching for years for a sinister archrival that will come after him like a Saturday Morning Cartoon villain, but they keep reforming.

Well, at least he got to have this.

Good times.

Goku is a generally good man compromised by a desire for sportsmanship that sometimes inhibits his perspective of things. When he can, he tries to satisfy both his moral center and his poison.

But sometimes his poison gets the better of him.

Goku makes questionable choices when he gets his blood boiling with the rush of competition, even at times when he probably should be thinking about harm mitigation. Because that is a thing he cares about; He doesn't like it when people get hurt, and he'll go out of his way to help others in crisis.

But he can't help himself. He was born for the stage.

Which makes it fitting that Goku's journey ends with one final compromise between his moral center and his poison. Right at the very end of his journey, Goku finally manages to satisfy both.

By relying on the karmic cycle itself, Goku destroys the monster that Majin Buu is while making a promise to fight each other again one day in a better life. The ultimate evolution of "No, let the bad guy go so I can fight him again."

And a promise well-kept.

I sincerely believe that if Hylia or the Three Golden Goddesses wanted to punish Saiyan Reader for intervening in the Calamity, it would backfire and I don’t mean because of Saiyan Reader.

Let me explain: suppose Hyrule is actually a planet in one of the 12 universes, one that has never had a Kamisama since its creation. Within the hierarchy of Dragon Ball’s universes, Hylia or the Three Golden Goddesses wouldn’t even rank above a Kamisama and would be classified as minor deities.

If Hylia wanted to punish Saiyan Reader, she’d have to answer to the Cardinal Kaios, the Grand Kai, the Supreme Kaioshins, the Supreme Kai of Time, the overseeing Hakaishin (God of Destruction), the angel attendant of the Hakaishin, Daishinkan-sama, and finally Zeno-sama himself. There’s no doubt in my mind that all these deities would harshly reprimand Hylia or the Three Golden Goddesses for wanting to punish Saiyan Reader for their selfless, good-hearted action.

To the upper leagues of gods, the Saiyans are one of the few races capable of reaching or even surpassing the power levels of deities like them. It doesn’t help that this race exists only in certain universes, like 7 and 6, where they’ve been agents of great change. Thanks to Saiyan actions in Universe 7’s case major disasters have been prevented.

If this scenario happened after Zeno-sama’s multiversal tournament, there would be zero tolerance for such actions. While Goku unknowingly put everyone at risk, the tournament gave the universes a chance to defend themselves and prove their worth to Zeno-sama, ensuring they wouldn’t be erased. Ironically, it was Goku’s teammate who used the Super Dragon Balls to wish for the revival of all erased universes.

These gods know it’s far better to have a Saiyan especially one with a pure heart as an ally than a potential enemy. For Hylia or the Three Golden Goddesses to try to punish Saiyan Reader for doing their job would be a complete no-go. I can easily imagine the overseeing Hakaishin making it clear why they are a God of Destruction, barely needing to lift a finger to erase Hylia or the Three Golden Goddesses from existence if they refuse to comply.

And let’s not forget Enma Daio-sama, the deity in charge of ensuring every departed soul reaches the afterlife, be it paradise or hell and reincarnation. He would likely be the most vocal protester against Hylia or the Three Golden Goddesses. The curse of Demise has claimed countless lives that should not have died under such circumstances, particularly due to the uncontrolled reincarnation cycle in Hyrule. Enma Daio-sama would likely be the strongest defender of Saiyan Reader because, in his judgment, this mortal did what these “negligent deities” should have done from the beginning.

I don’t know why, but I can already imagine the upper leagues of gods putting Hylia or the Three Goddesses on trial, it would be a divine-level chaos!

As someone who knows next to nothing about Dragon Ball Z, I thought I was onto something with my last post. Only for this to come in and virtually toss it all by the window for canonical in place hierarchy that I didn't bother researching

But! I like where this is going instead.

Basically, the Hylian goddesses tried to get Reader in trouble but instead of doing anything about it, Reader looked at them and said "hold on, let me get my manager" and proceeded to implode the whole system that these ladies had in place since the beginning of the Hylian existence.

So I like this one better. XD

Voice: Masahiro Itou (JPN) / Sam Duke (ENG)

Personality:

Takeru is generally calm, but he can be mostly hot-headed, energetic, impatient, and carefree. Despite his quirks and the criticism, Takeru is said to have a personality that draws people to him, inspiring friendship and loyalty through acts of genuine kindness that could change a person's worldview and thus build meaningful relationships that he lacked in early life; Takeru deeply cherishes these bonds and will go to great lengths to protect them, best seen with Makoto when he tried to still his Eyecons and Tohru when he was been manipulated by Saionji when he control him with the power of Dark Ghost. Likewise, even in the face of people close to him committing horrible deeds, Takeru remains loyal to them, pushing aside his grief enough to see the nature of what they did. Along with this nature, he is extremely perceptive, able to notice the smallest of details from a quick observation. From this, he can quickly discern the nature of a person and their life to make correct conclusions on situations at hand.

After he became Ghost, Takeru's personality suffered a main change. He became even more friendly and wise, retaining his carefree Nature, but to a lower degree. Another good point in him is that this made him capable of recognizing a person and their potential, something he saw in Kosuke Kimijima and his skill in playing piano. This made the girls (Rise, Yoko, and Shia) develop a crush on him, something he's oblivious to, but later in "Enma Daio to Itsutsu no Monogatari da Nyan!" he started to slowly notice, mostly in Rise.

Takeru also seems to get angered by anyone who does not value their own life or the lives of others, as being dead has given him the perspective to cherish/protect all life and enjoy the time he has left while trying to restore himself. This trait seems to override his common sense at times, as he is willing to put his own existence in jeopardy to save someone's life such as Kanon Fukami.

Love Interest: None

Backstory:

Before he was known as Takeru Tenkuji he was also known as Shuichi a hybrid of Ganma and a Youkai, as well as the protector of peace in both the Youkai World and Ganma World, thanks to his Persona Messiah, and thanks to him the Ganma worship Shuichi as if he is a God, but he sadly passed away due to an unknown illness, which he was poisoned by Adel, then he reincarnated as a human named Takeru Tenkuji and Messiah for some reason has been split into two.

His past is almost the same as the canon, as his father, Ryu Tenkuji, was killed by a Ganma and Takeru has been living with his uncle, Takuto Maruki, and Ryu disciple, Onari Yamanoichi, at Daitenku Temple. Since then he hardly sees his cousin, Toshiro Kasukabe, whom he sees as an older brother like Makoto Fukami before he and Kanon disappear, and Ryotaro and Nanako have been visiting the Temple more often to make sure that Takeru is okay, as well to Ryotaro have them babysit Nanako for him while he still working to find his late-wife and his step-brother killer.

As he grew up he started to hear voices but he couldn't see anything until he met Ren on the train with his uncle Takuto when they were about to go to Shujin together as Takeru wanted to go there to visit his old school and Takuto was about to work there as their councilor. That's when he, Takuto, Ren, and another boy named Ryuji Sakamoto found themself in front of a castle which is ruled by the perverted king, who is also the volleyball team coach, Suguru Kamoshida. When they're inside the dungeon, Kamoshida is about ready to kill Ryuji but before that happens, Takuto stands up and defends Ryuji when the guards try to pin him to the wall, with that much commotion Kamoshida decides to order the Ganma, the same one that kills Ryu, to kill Takuto first instead. When the Ganma is about to kill him Takeru shakes off the guard and shields his uncle with his body making him have a large wound on his back, bleeding him to death.

As Takeru is dying he can hear his own voice but distorted saying, is he seriously just lay there and die, to just accept his fate?, when hearing this, Takeru doesn't want to die and leave all his friends and family behind, that he wants to continue to live, that's when he open his eyes and found himself inside a room in a train and in front of him is an old man that called himself Sennin and a young girl named Eve. Sennin and Eve explain to Takeru about the Velvet Room, that Sennin isn't truly the owner of it and that he was taking care of it for his old friend and also explain to him that if he wants to be alive again then he needs to collect all the 15 Heroic Eyecons before his 99 days are up and if he does that then he can make a wish to be alive again.

When Takeru agrees, Eve tells him to sign his name on a contract, and when he does he meets his shadow and starts making a vow where a mask appears on his face and rips it off awakening the power of his Persona, Orpheus. Sennin then gives Takeru an Eyecon and a Belt to transform him into Kamen Rider Ghost, he also gives him a Youkai Butler named Whisper and his other assistant Yurusen, to guide him about the Ganma and Youkai and to help him to find the Eyecons, he also told him that thanks to his power as Ghost (as well as his power from his reincarnation) his Persona gain new strength and weakness than their previous power. After being given this power, Takeru starts to wake up as a Ghost and protect his uncle and his new friends with the help of Ren who also awakens his Persona.

After that, the story is still the same a combination of the Youkai Chronicles except that Takuto joins the Phantom Thieves as he is able to face his own Shadow as well as Toshiro when he rebels against his father, Toshiki Kasukabe when he becomes the next target after Madarame's confession and facing his own Shadow, including the Liberation Team from Dx2 with a mixture members from the Investigation Team from Persona 4 also joins the team as well as Tohru Adachi and Ryotaro Dojima after Futaba and Rise joins the team, to joins the team as well Tohru's background is different as he is the younger brother of Rumi Amamiya but after the murder of their parent and Rumi catatonic depression Tohru was sent to the Adachi family for them to raise him.

Even though Tohru never really cared for his parent considering they hardly ever were home even at Christmas or his and her sister's birthday all because they were busy with work, he cared for his sister since she was the only one who took care of him so seeing what happens to her he wants to make the killer pay by becoming a police detective and sending them to justice but on a darker path, Tohru still has the same personality as the canon but is less of a jerk and non-psycho.

After an incident with his partner Ryotaro Dojima, who is like a father to him, where Tohru asks about the pillow that his partner always holding which makes Ryotaro accidentally gets into a one-sided argument with Tohru to the point that he says that he didn't matter to him which really hurt Tohru a lot to the point that he runs out of the Police Department and somehow on the top of the Mall roof. Tohru then starts to reflect on his life as he recalls all his memories of his parent never being there for him, his sister being in the hospital and not responsive, and the only person that he considers his father figure now hating him, his life really sucks and he wants his pain to end so he jumps off the roof and landed on the ground where a person found him barely alive and call the hospital in a coma. That is when Saionji used this chance he meet Tohru's spirit and was willing to help him avenge his sister and all the people who hurt him by giving him an Eyecon and a Belt to transform himself into Dark Ghost in exchange for Tohru helping him on getting him the Eyecons.

But that went off the rails when Tohru and the Phantom Thieves learn that the true killer of Rumi and Tohru's parents is actually Tohru's Shadow, because of Tohru's hatred of his parent due to them rarely being home because of their job's many responsibilities (which is involve about Cognition) and being a target of getting bullied. Apparently, when Tohru's parent decide to spend their day off with their son to go to an amusement park to make up for all the time they've lost, someone from the cognitive researcher decides to do an experiment on them by transporting them to the cognitive world where Tohru's Shadow appears and taunts at his real self about how he hates his parent and they are better off dead, and when Tohru denied his Shadow, it has gone berserk and tried to kill his real self but thanks to his parent they were able to protect him.

After Tohru's parent died, his Shadow decided to continue to torment him more by showing him the truth about why his parents never came more often at home, that his parent tried to find a way to heal and save people by curing their mentality by controlling their cognition, and if he had just open door whenever he was to go home instead of running away, he would be able to spend more time with his parent when their home. When Tohru learned this he was so shocked to the point that he passed out from a panic attack, that's when his Shadow decided to make this even more fun, he rewrote his real self memories thinking that when he was about to go home there was a robber at his house and his parent got killed because of it. When that's done he takes his real self and his parent to their house in the real world and makes the place look like it was robbed and somehow spirited away into Tohru's body.

When the flashback is done, Tohru just freezes in his place not believing what he has learned, that all this time the one who killed his parent and made his sister suffer was because of him and that his parent was able to spend more time with him if he didn't run away, making him blame himself and put him in despair. This despair causes his Shadow to possess him and transform into a new form of Dark Ghost called "Dark Ghost Despair" (basically the Dark Ghost version of Toucan), lock away Tohru from his mind, and tries to steal the Eyecons, the keyword is "try" thanks to Takeru, Ren, Takuto and Ryotaro (who got involved when he tries to save his partner) were able to save him. After that, Tohru's spirit goes back to his body and regains his consciousness from his coma.

Notes:

NONE OF THE ARTS ARE MINE!!

This was inspired by: Kamen Rider Ghost: Youkai Chronicles by GammaTron, Lupin vs Pato: Personification by Seanzillea1988, Wanted it to be a Game by SkylaDoragono, Walk Backwards (with Open Eyes) by harardous lucent lightshows (Esoterika), A Meadow Watered by Tears (father, can't you hear your baby crying?) by charlietheepic7, The Jester Fathers the Fool by Purpli, Persona 5: Tainted Soul by striberx and Persona V: Reversing the Wheel of Fate by CaptainBlueoftheFleetingDream & ViolettheCutieFarplaneReaper

Welp, I hope you guys like my oc of Kamen Rider Ghost, even though my oc has the name as the canon, I want to keep the last name but I couldn't find any name that just fits so I just keep the first name as it is, he also has his own Social Links but with different character, and sorry if my information is not enough all that, I'm just tired with college stuff and all that, I'll update on this whenever I can.

I just watched the animation of the Persona series and I really like it, after watching Persona 4 the Animation, Golden, Persona 5 the Animation, Royal, and Tactica on YouTube and Anitaku I really love it, especially Ryotaro Dojima, Tohru Adachi, Takuto Maruki, and Toshiro Kasukabe to the point I want them as my oc family.

If you guys are confused about the family tree don't worry you're not the only one I just trying to figure it out myself but it's more like this: Takuto Maruki, Yuna Tenkuji, and Yuki Kasukabe are siblings while Ryu Tenkuji and Chasito Dojima are siblings, making Toshiro is the son of Yuki and Toshiki Kasukabe, Takeru is the son of Yuna and Ryu Tenkuji, Nanako is the daughter of Chisato and Ryotaro Dojima and that they are cousin, while Tohru Adachi and Rumi are siblings making Ren is the son of Rumi, since that Takuto and Rumi are fiance and all and lets just they one of hell of a night they made Ren as their offspring, which makes Ren the cousin of Toshiro and Takeru.

I also made Tohru become Kamen Rider Dark Ghost cause I thought it would be cool. Plus, in the canon, Tohru wanted the world to end and made everyone become Shadow, while Dark Ghost wanted people to become Ghost, so thinking this part I thought it would fit. I was also thinking of having Ren have a Rider form as well, but I don't know what kind of form should I give I really like Makoto and Alan so I want them to still have their Rider Form so I don't know what kind of Rider Form should I give him, I could give Ren an OC form like Kamen Rider Phantom like this one I see in Deviantart but with black and red, but I don't know, what do you guys think?

I really like the characters from Megami Tensei Dx2 as well as a few of the Investigation Team members' characters so I decided to remove two of the Liberators and added the two members of the Investigation Team and added them to the Phantom Thieves team as Takeru's group as well with Adachi and Ryotaro while Takuto is in Ren's group, and Takuto and Tohru's Persona will be different.

Judgement. Art by Nogi San.

This card is inspired from Enma Daio, the ruler of hell in ancient Buddhist mythology.

He is seen as one of the thirteen judges of Hell, responsible for ensuring every soul that ends up in Jigoku is given their proper amount of torture and stay, which can vary from centuries to measures of time so vast it is said to be beyond understanding.

King Emma: “For the Ghost Festival this year, we are inviting friends from Heian-Kyo over for a celebration. Welcome, Seimei-sama!”

Seimei: “Hello everyone.”

Hangan: “Hozuki-sama, I’ve heard of your fame and deeds, would you like to have a drink together?”

Ibaraki: “My friend is a demon king of Oeyama, but he has gotten decadent ever since some incidents, and now he’s obsessed with wine and women.

Ootengu: “Dark Seimei-sama is so devoted to the work of justice that he often forgets to eat or sleep, I hope he can relax a little sometimes.”

Hangan: “.....my problem is rather shameful comparing to yours.... I just wish Emma-sama would pay the.... employment benefit that she promised me, but I don’t know how to ask...”

Hozuki: “Hangan-sama shouldn’t feel ashamed. Proper payment is a basic motivator for hard work. You should talk to your boss straight about it.”

Enma: “The employment benefit that I promised you? I was wondering when you were going to ask.”

Hangan: “THANK YOU ENMA SAMA!”

Hozuki: “Good bosses never delay payments.”

Hozuki: “Your problem about the hard-working boss... you may think of it as a blessing rather than nuisance.”

Hozuki: “Everyone has unique hobbies. Some like to play games, some like to chase idols, some like to whip, some like to be whipped.”

Hozuki: “Why can’t someone find work a hobby?”

Ootengu: “Exactly! I should feel honored to serve someone like Dark Seimei-sama! I’ll help him complete the work of justice before these garbage return to Heian-Kyo! Thank you for the advice!”

Hiromasa: “Hey where are you going? Come drink wine and dance with me.”

Hozuki: “Next, Ibaraki-sama’s problem...”

Hozuki: “It’s one that I deeply sympathize.”

Hakutaka: “Hehehe, young lady, you’re so cute.”

Hozuki: “Obessed with wine and women.....”

Hakutaka: “Do you have a boyfriend?

Hakutaka: “Impossible! You are so cute!.”

Hozuki: “......”

Hakutaka: “Would you consider me?”

Hakutaka: “Let me treat you to a drink—“

Hozuki: “SUPER ANNOYING!”

Hozuki: “This is what I do usually. Hope this helps.”

Ibaraki: “But I don’t want to hurt— I mean, I can’t beat him, I’m destined to lose to Shuten.”

Hozuki: “Is that so? It would be a problem if you aren’t as powerful as him. You need a strategy. Perhaps try matching his weakness with your strength?”

Fem!Iba: “Can I get some wine from the demon king?

Shuten: “I hate you cross dressers. Don’t you have anything else to do as a man. Tanuki, give him some wine and let him go.”

Shuten: “Even if I have to jump off Mount Ooe, even if I have to die single, I would not look at you once!”

One month later.

Onikiri: “This is the invitation to their wedding, it would be an honor if you attend.”

Wait..Rei said to Kitaro- 'Someday,it's going to cost you dearly' why i have a bad feeling that this line going to be foreshadowing for Mana's life to be in grave danger again? T^T She’s been through a lot after Nanashi's arc so she could have an easy way to help Kitaro without risk herself but after Rei's line to Kitaro,i'm worried about her😢 I know that Mana will be fine eventually since she the main character,still sometimes i'm thinking that Toei enjoying to abuse Mana's daliy life =‘)

Sadly I’m the type who loves to see their favorite characters suffer in hopes of future emotional payoff =‘) the KitaMana fight was pretty painful even for me though, let’s not have that again ;;;.;;;

Seeing as Kitaro’s reluctance to befriend Mana at the start of the series was due to a fear of putting her at risk, I do think it’d be reasonable for those fears to return in this new arc. Rei has pointed out Kitaro’s naivete when it comes to letting Youkai go free after simple apologies, which could very well lead to Mana getting hurt.

Considering Kitaro’s deal with Enma, I wonder if she might try to offer up her own soul in exchange for Kitaro and Neko Musume once finding out the truth? Assuming Rei succeeds in snatching up all the Generals, this would be a great opportunity for him to see past his overall hatred of Youkai by relinquishing the Generals’ souls to Kitaro and thus sparing Mana from Hell.

Hasu [はす] Presents...

While most fans of Dragon Ball and all the ships of this anime (especially the western ones, although I do not mention certain fandom since many know to whom I refer) They seem not to stop to insist on the very negative vision that they have They to Goku about fatherhood and also towards Chichi and the raising of her own children.

Something curious, is that the Japanese fans do not have that vision about Goku and this story (which is divided into two parts and published later) shows us even Goku different from what Westerners think and can even appreciate how distressed that when They do not give you permission to even see your family. Surprising, right? 

GoChi is love  [悟チチ ❤ ] They may not be the perfect family, but that makes them unique and better … because despite the problems… they will remain united no matter what happens…

Am I the only one who thinks that Kouen (Enma)‘s treatment in the second movie was quite messed up ?

I mean- The kid was assigned as king but his second in command legit locked him up and asked him for resignation because he thought that he wasn’t worthy of his title. I know that kouen could easily escaped from it but you can’t deny that it’s not fucked up.

And ngl, Zazel feels like a character that can’t cope with the loss of his previous lord.

Absolutely not ! You're not the only one, I also think Kouen's treatment was just... absolutely messed up in the second movie ! Not only was he completely mistreated, but Zazel also made it ten times worse...

There's a lot to talk about as far as they are concerned, but I tried to keep it as short as I could ! I apologize in advance for any mistakes or if it is overdevelopped ! Also don't hesitate to send me any other questions about Yokai Watch !

I feel like the end of the second movie does not answer the issue their story wanted to tackle.

The whole point was to help Zazel moving on from his trauma of losing Ancient Enma from very probably a disease (which is even more cruel considering it must have been killing him since numerous years), and finaly enabling him to move on and accepting Koen as the new ruler of the Yomakai. Sadly, instead of actually showing us that even if he appears as evil, he remains a father figure deeply caring for Koen, a litteral child ! By admitting his faults and showing affection towards him... they prefered to show us that in the attitude of Koen, Zazel still saw Ancient Enma in him, as shown below.

Which is totaly the opposite of what the meaning of this story was supposed to be ! By this action, Zazel doesn't only shows us that he still is not ready to move on, but even worse ! He is still trying to cling to the last remainings of his beloved king that he sees through Enma.

Which would also explain a lot of things about him. For example, why he chose a sickness over every other ways to restrain Koen without it appearing suspiscious. The same sickness that took away Ancient Enma. Another example would be how he quite litteraly locks up Enma in his own palace to make him fill up paperwork. And apart from his obvious hatred of humans, it could also be interpreted as a desperate need for control. To be able to protect at all cost the "New body of Ancient Enma", while shape-shifting it to his heart's content in order to make him act exactly like his predecessor.

And obviously, such an unhealthy relationship couldn't bring any good to a young and manipulable child such as Koen.

Firstly, he was assigned as king in his early childhood, very probably because of the chaotic situation surrounding the aftermath of his birth, as seen in Forever Friends, which burdened him with way too much responsabilities and duties.

This very probably is an element explaining his quite rebellious personality, especially towards authority.

But as if it wasn't enough to mess him up, he could not even be comforted and guided by his only parental figure left after Ancient Enma passed away ! No wonder he purposefully stayed trapped by Nurari to beat him right after with absolute rage. He simply doesn't know how to respond to stress and his emotions in general other than through anger.

Furthermore, he could not even express his personality, as Zazel would not give him any chance. This could also be the answer as to why he runs away to the human realm so often in order to finally express himself. All he did was trying his best to keep up with all the standards he had set up for himself, while begging for guidance, and acting like the child he is.

I've often wondered what would happen if you used the Dragon Balls to resurrect someone that's been reincarnated?

While it has a fuckton of original fantasy elements to it, the spiritual mythology of Dragon Ball is rooted in Japanese Buddhism. Upon death, you are taken before Enma-Daio, a real mythological figure who governs the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth known as samsara.

Fun fact, it's commonly believed that Goku was rewarded for his good and meritorious deeds by being allowed to keep his body and go train under Kaio. But actually, Enma-Daio was against letting Goku go to Kaio because of his good and meritorious deeds.

Enma's position was basically, "This guy's earned a full ride to The Good Place and you want to throw that away on a risky death-hike that will probably land his ass in Hell!? Are you out of your goddamn mind?"

He reluctantly acquiesced, but he wasn't happy about it.

You really want to go dumbass yourself into Hell then whatever. No skin off my back, I guess.

Hell, or Jigoku as it's known in Japanese Buddhism, is a bit complicated. There are various "planes", so to speak, of Jigoku not unlike the circles of Dante's Inferno but with one particular key difference.

Under samsara, the afterlife is a transient experience. For everyone, good and bad alike, save for those who manage to break free from the karmic cycle. This is the ultimate goal.

Note that while we never see Jigoku for ourselves in the manga, it does show up in the anime - Along with two more real mythological figures.

This is Gozu and Mezu, a pair of oni who serve the role of dragging people into Jigoku. Fun fact, this episode is actually based on two separate misadventures of the Monkey King Sun Wukong, who Goku is meant to be an adaptation of. Understanding the assignment, Toei drew a lot of inspiration from Journey to the West when writing Goku-centric filler episodes.

In any case, time spent in Jigoku is limited, determined by the extent of one's negative karma. There are a few references to the transient experience of being dead, predominately for villains. The most prominent is, of course, the fate of Majin Buu.

In gratitude to Goku for the great service he's performed, Enma-Daio made that happen. He rushed Buu through the cycle, allowing him to be reborn on Earth and with his power intact.

Post-God Merger Piccolo also brings up the karmic cycle when Vegeta, in a rare moment of self-reflection, seeks spiritual clarity from him.

Vegeta's going to Jigoku to expend the bad karma he's accumulated over his life, and then he too will be born again as a new incarnation.

This is the system of life and death that forms the foundation of Dragon Ball's mythology. You die, you expend the good or bad karma you've accumulated in life, and then you are reborn to go another round.

Complicating the matter is that not only does reincarnation exist within this mythology but. Uh. So does resurrection.

There are restrictions, of course. Shenron cannot revive someone who has already died before.

And a mass-revival under a shared condition has a time limit of one year.

But there's no such limitation on single revivals. At least, it's never established that there is one. The time to bring it up would probably have been Goku's afterlife training for one year in preparation for the Saiyans' arrival.

So. That. Raises an interesting question.

What would happen if you had Shenron resurrect someone whose soul is presently occupying another body in the mortal world?

[yokaiwatchfadetowhite]

I am so happy that Lucas is still alive!! For a moment i thought y’all going to kill him. I have questions would be play a large role onto later comics? How Will Enma Daio would react towards Mao being his umm Uncle? Brother? Being half human and Hlaf yokai?

Enma Daio will show up sooner enough in the comic, but he will most likely be in the background, for plot reasons. For his reaction tows Lucas, I can stay with out not spoiling to much he is curious. He never really see a half yokai, or any humans for the most part.

[cuppykin]
