[chancellorxofxtrash]

things i would draw at this point if i could: VRAINS cast wielding the blades from Kamen Rider Saber

Yusaku gets Kurayami Takeru gets Rekka Aoi gets Suzune Miyu gets Nagare Jin gets Ikazuchi Go gets Gekido Ryoken gets Hayate Ema gets Noroshi

I am not actually sure about Spectre, although I absolutely want him to get one too. Maybe he could get Noroshi instead of Ema. Element-wise Gekido would fit more, but I cannot imagine him wielding that, while it would fit Go much more. I also was waffling between Aoi and Miyu, which one would get Suzune and which one would get Nagare, I guess that one could go either way. I guess you could also give Saikou to Jin, but I think Ikazuchi fits him better (because of the fate that befalls Ikazuchi's wielder in Saber, yes). I haven't seen the other swords yet to decide if either of them would fit Akira or Shoichi.

And Ryoken gets Hayate because this is MY self-indulgent bullshit and he is associated with wind. To Me.

I didn't list either of the Ignis, no, because it'd just feel wrong to have them specifically wield anything not their element. Which would also be an AU that is fitting, in which case obviously it'd be

Ai - Kurayami Flame - Rekka Aqua - Nagare Earth - Gekido Windy - Hayate Lightning - now i KNOW that logically it could be Saikou but the FACT that what happens to Kento in canon? it makes me go GIVE HIM IKAZUCHI. for Me.

[tsuki-sennin]

At our weakest, we find our resolve! With the sudden reappearance of Fuga-san, we may yet have a chance! However, Geryon's power is so overwhelming and terrifying that we couldn't convince Minato-sensei to flee! Will things go better this time around?

Spoilers, I guess...

-Ahhhhh, working the lunch rush today, huh Renge?

-"He needs a big sleepy..."

-Hotaro-kun...

-Here comes Lachesis.

-Eight Level 10s... with two yet unaccounted for.

-Oh, she's mad

-Lachesis......

-Oh shit

-Man, this is fucking up Clotho too.

-Oh shit she's doing it

-Hey look, it's your boyfriend~!

-Hotaro was so close to doing the Family Guy death pose there.

-Indisposed treasure boy...

-Ohhhhhhhhh

-Oh that's not good at all.

-"Fetch."

-Gaiard...

-Spanner time.

-Planet Earth hangs out near planet Earth.

-Good initiative Rinne

-Ohhhhh, that's interesting

-So the Malgam isn't the same as a Chemy or its host.

-Damn, not even flinching.

-It seems a Fairy-type won't cut it against this Dragon-type.

-Instant catch, what a guy.

-Oh shit

-Ohhhhh, I see, it's lot like how the Sword of Logos derived all the Seiken from Saikou and Kurayami.

-Oh hi Dad.

-Yeah, he's got one too.

-Ohhhhh, that's a new jingle.

-The AlchemisDriver goes into Dad Mode.

-Kamen Rider Wind.

-It's so simple and understated.

-Nyooooooom~!

Trivia - Arch Seirei Artemis and the Seirei

I knew doing this trivia in particular was gonna be lengthy and figured might as well put in trivia for all the Seirei while I’m at it. Arch Seirei Artemis is still the primary focus of the trivia though. It’s not gonna be perfect, but oh well.

Warnings: Spoilers for Saber, and some implied self-doubt and guilt issues.

General

The Seirei are magical entities akin to angels from Wonder World who are connected to the Seiken and enable transformation into a Kamen Rider.

Their name kanji (聖霊) means ‘holy spirit’, befitting their association with the Seiken.

They were inspired by the Heavenly Saints from Magiranger.

They are where the Riders’ elemental magic is drawn from.

They are capable of taking on a human form when living on the real world. Their true forms vary depending on the Rider and their associated element.

Their true forms are usually visible in each Rider's henshin sequence. (Hence the transformation sequences of Saber, Blades, and Espada.)

Only Seiken wielders and those with high exposure to magic (Like Shion and Mei) can hear the Seirei's voices from within their Seiken.

All their true forms are humanoid in physical appearance and appear behind their user the moment the transformation is triggered.

The swordsmen call their Seirei by their names and sometimes call them by their Seiken's names. Sometimes when they transform (especially in some of the badass scenes) they shout this. "(Seirei name), Seirei of (Element)! I call upon your power! Come!" For example, Kaede would shout "Yukina, Seirei of Ice! I call upon your power! Come!" For group henshins, they would each say their Seirei's name and element and shout "We call upon your powers! Come!" in unison.

Arch Seirei Artemis (Played by FRUITS ZIPPER’s Amane Tsukiashi)

She is based off the goddess of the same name from Greek mythology and is a lot friendlier than her counterpart.

She often appears as an advisor and observer to the SoL Riders.

She used to have a group of hunters to help her watch over the Sword of Logos and assist them in battle, but Yumeko betrayed her and slaughtered them after becoming Nimcha, forcing Artemis to defeat and seal her in the Moonlight Diamond.

She only vanquished Lennox from Wonder World on Tassel’s advice.

During Touma's henshin sequence into Xross Saber, Artemis descends down and does a motion similar to that of "granting a blessing" onto him.

During the days before Kyomu was sealed in the Book of Ruin, there was an ancient Seiken which granted its user the power of pure raw magical energy that makes up the elemental magic of all the present-day Seiken, the Mahouken Sakkaku (Magic Sword Illusion), which was considered the most powerful of all the Seiken, even surpassing Saikou and Kurayami in terms of power. As such, its wielder was considered the most powerful swordsman in all the land. However, great power came with great insanity.

While most details have been lost to time, archives tell that the Seirei of the Mahouken was a humanoid six-armed being whose body seemed to be made of pure raw magic energy and the previous Arch Seirei. The Seirei of the Mahouken fed off of its wielder's will and fueled their more psychopathic tendencies to extremes. Sakkaku's wielder thought that since no swordsman can hold a candle to his power, he should be the only swordsman because of this. However, unbeknownst to him, there was a Seiken that could surpass even Sakkaku's god-like power and magic, the Haouken Xross Saber, Artemis’ Seiken.

Back then it was much like all the other Seiken, containing the power to alter reality and gives its user the elemental magic of the stars themselves. Its wielder at the time was a very powerful mage who had been studying how to split magical energy into separate types of magic.

When word of the Mahouken wielder's atrocities came to the mage, both he and Artemis were determined to put an end to this being's reign of terror. An intense battle between the two swordsmen wielding these magic swords took place which devasted the world around them. When the dust finally settled, the mage and Artemis had emerged victorious.

Not wanting any other swordsmen going insane with power, the mage used the Haouken and his special magic to destroy Sakkaku and turn its energy into the elemental magic everyone knows. Then, he sacrificed his own life to split the Haouken into magical energy, infusing into elemental energies that would become Seiken that would one day unite and summon the Haouken in its full glory to the one who wields the first Seiken forged by human hand, stronger than ever before.

He entrusted Artemis with protecting both the real world and Wonder World and watching over the Seiken wielders who would one day summon the Seiken she was connected with, stronger than even before, making her the new Arch Seirei.

Ever since, Sakkaku was lost to time due to its destruction and subsequent energy redirection and has become a cautionary tale to all members of the Sword of Logos while Artemis had been watching over the Sword of Logos, waiting for the day where heroes would rise and summon her sword to them, blessed with power beyond anything one can imagine.

Tassel saw the moment Artemis was made the new Arch Seirei and truly believed she would regain her full power one day as her deceased wielder prophesized and is fully supportive of her despite her initially being uncertain of her newfound role.

She was uncertain of becoming the new Arch Seirei at first due what the Sakkaku’s Seirei had done, but with Tassel’s support she grew into a courageous and responsible Arch Seirei, guiding the Sword of Logos and watching over them.

Ice Seirei Yukina (Played by Hikaru Yamamoto)

A kind-hearted Seirei like a princess who cares deeply about her friends.

Her name kanji means ‘snow flower’ (雪華), refencing her kind nature.

She felt guilty about Ayaka’s death, especially since Kaede had to witness it happen, even if she didn’t directly see it. She wants to make amends for it when her Seiken reappeared to Kaede in the present day.

Thunder Seirei Raito (Played by Satsuki Nakayama)

Serves as a mentor figure for Shion when she took up his Seiken.

Was amazed at Shion’s determination when she first became Espada.

His name kanji (雷当) means ‘thundering justice’.

Sound Seirei Naoto (Played by FRUITS ZIPPER’s Luna Nakagawa)

She has the appearance of a cutesy idol singer in both human and her true form.

Her name kanji means ‘south sound’ (南音), a play on words on ‘south bound’ and refencing her being the Seirei of Sound.

While she was asleep during her Seiken’s repair, she could communicate with Tetsuo via telepathy often by singing lullabies.

Flame Seirei Homura (Played by Rin Takanashi)

She found Touma’s desire to make people happy through books adorable, prompting her to escape the darkness Daichi had trapped her in 15 years ago.

Her name kanji (炎) means ‘flame’ in reference to her element.

She comes across as a little hot-blooded, but she’s really just passionate about helping Touma get used to being a swordsman.

Water Seirei Mizuhara (Played by Atsushi Shiramata)

He holds the memories of his Seiken’s past users close to him.

His name kanji (水原) means ‘water field’.

He’s easily one of the most adaptable Seirei in Wonder World.

Land Seirei Riku (Played by Eiji Akaso)

He’s the physically strongest of the Seirei, partially due to his element.

His name kanji (陸) means ‘land’ in reference to the element of earth.

He understands why Ogami prefers physical attacks over magic the most.

Wind Seirei Fuutaro (Played by Ryo Matsuda)

Due to his element of wind, he is faster than most Seirei.

His name kanji (風太郎) means ‘wind strong’.

He can tolerate Ren’s gremlin antics, as he knows he’s still learning to understand true strength.

Light Seirei Hikaru (Played by Yuki Kubota)

He fused with Yuri after Bahato was sealed in the Book of Ruin, making Yuri a hybrid in the process.

His name is read with the kanji for ‘light’ (光).

He doesn’t have much experience with other Seirei due to his time in Avalon.

Dark Seirei Yamina (Played by Nana Mori)

Her precognitive powers let her access the World of Darkness.

Her name kanji (闇名) means ‘dark distinguished’.

Her true form is similar to Homura’s but themed after a dark dragon.

Smoke Seirei Noroko (Played by Yuria Haga)

There seems to be very little that can break through her near-stoic demeanor.

Her name is read as ‘smoke child’ (煙子) and she’s the only Seirei whose name is close to the name of their Seiken, in Noroko’s case, Noroshi.

She knows her magic’s limits, often being undeterred by stronger opponents countering her.

Time Seirei Tokiwa (Played by Kohei Murakami)

In contrast to Noroko, he can be quick to anger.

His name kanji means ‘a tale of time’ (時話) in reference to Saber’s story motifs.

Ryoga is one of the few who can keep him in check.

Void Seirei Naiko (Played by Arisa Komiya)

She is responsible for returning excess magical energy from Xross Saber to the void.

Her name kanji (無子) means ‘void child’.

She’s one to reach out to the outsider who feels alone in the world.

Dream Seirei Yuna (Played by Ami Tomite)

She only wants to help people pursue their dreams.

Her name is read with the kanji for ‘dream’ (夢).

The whereabouts of her and her Seiken after Yumeko’s first defeat are unknown until Bahato’s debut in episode 34.

hi again from kr anon - thank you for the greetings too!! they're very much appreciated 🥺❤️ and thankfully january went well enough for me, but i'm sorry to hear that about you - i hope you've fully recovered by now, but if not, i hope you continue to get better, and wishing you well in general 🫶🏼💕

anyway ever since your most recent reply and your reblogging some of the posts i linked, i became inspired and kinda went ham in looking for more build fanart and memes/shitposts on tumblr (+ twitter now too) that i thought you'd enjoy (ngl they're mostly ryusen-centric, but some involve other characters too, and just like before, they're all either non-spoilery or contain spoilers only up to the parts i know you've seen dw), and bc unfortunately i'm still not yet done formulating my full reply to your message + my overall review of build, i've decided to share these links in a separate batch of asks ahead instead 😅 so feel free to also like/reblog/retweet whichever ones you like best from here, whenever you want 👍🏼 [1/?]

more official merch + kr cafe stuff: tumblr . com/kabutoraiger/648150309174198272/wake-up-babes-new-best-match-jewelry-dropped & tumblr . com/himitsusentaiblog/182766108575/kamen-rider-the-diner-in-ikebukuro-is-doing-a plus i think i might have previously mentioned that the show's theme song had an official english version sung by the same singer (beverly), so now here's the full lyric video (no spoilers dw): youtu . be/G87WJDpNC8Y?si=Fha4f1SBqIfGiqDW also since we've talked about the toku to bl pipeline before, especially with both of build's leads infamously being part of it, here's something you might be interested in: tumblr . com/missmako-chan/739247201631469569/is-this-quote-from-a-bl-or-a-tokusatsu (no overt spoilers btw, aside from out-of-context quotes, and iirc there's only one from build used and it's from an episode i know you've already watched, though the translation used here might be somewhat different from the one you saw; also there's like a couple of cm quotes here too) [11/?]

i took that quiz a while back and got around 70%, which isn't too bad considering i'd only watched like the first half of build at that point and haven't seen any other toku even until now, and have also only watched like 3 bl dramas and not all of them were included here, though overall a lot of it was definitely lucky guessing and the others (both for the toku and bl ones) were stuff i became aware of through osmosis. anyway don't feel pressured about getting a high score though, it's all in good fun and i also wanted to let you see for yourself just how homoerotic toku can get to the point of often being indistinguishable from actual bls 😔 and on this note, you also mentioned in your last reply that kazumi/grease's actor (takeda kouhei) seemed familiar to you - the reason for that might be that you recognize him as one of the leads in old fashion cupcake, which was a pretty popular bl too from what i've heard? idk if you've ever watched it though (i haven't seen it myself, but i might in the future), but yeah that makes 3 main male actors in build part of the pipeline so far (insert even more jokes about "you can't spell build without bl" and heated drama between men here lmao) (and tbh i actually still have some additional posts and tweets on hand, but this is already getting very long and i don't want to overwhelm you even more than i probably already have so i'll just reserve them to share with you another time whgjtsfs) [12/?]

anyway, feel free to go ahead and already ramble about whatever new episodes you may have seen by now, even as i haven't finished writing my full response to your last message yet 👍🏼 especially since you last stopped at ep. 20 (whew what an episode to end on), so that means it's time for everyone's favorite build episode next... like i'm not kidding when i say almost everyone leaves ep. 21 with their brain chemistry fundamentally altered bc it's just that powerful 😭 so i'm really looking forward to seeing your reactions to it 😳 and hope you watch ep. 22 asap too bc it's a banger of a follow-up to 21 🫶🏼 (also now you're delving further into the parts showing who exactly the silly rabbit with a death wish is and just why he has one... hehe) djwjdhfs thanks, i'm so honored that you trust me to be your kr senpai 🙏🏼 and yes i'm done, but like i said earlier, i'm still in the process of organizing my thoughts and writing them down into a concrete summary so it might take a bit longer before i can send the next batch of messages to you. and oh i knew about tsukutabe/she loves to cook and she loves to eat and that it aired its first season like 2 years ago and that there was an upcoming second season, but i didn't realize it had started airing already :O i've been interested in it for a while and actually started reading the manga last year and liked it so far (but i wasn't able to continue past the first few chapters yet bc i got distracted by other media, including kr lol), so thanks for the reminder that i should pick the manga up again + start watching the drama at some point soon 👍🏼 and it's okay i understand, especially since both are good stories worth getting into :-) plus again, no pressure and take your time in watching, and hope you enjoy finishing build and the other shows!! 🥰 [13/13]

kr anon hi again!!!! first off thank u SO MUCH for all these links omgg so much fanart to look at i am so grateful.... 😭🙏 sorry in advance to everyone else for the rb/rt spree that is about to happen in like 10 mins tho-- also i took the quiz and got a 47% which. yeah i was Not ready for how gay those toku quotes got what the fuck.???? like i recognized maybe 5 of them from cm/odt/build/heartstopper but the rest girl... i was Struggling......i still have much to learn about the pipeline i see 👁👁 also also yeah i think thats where i recognize kazumis actor from?? i havent watched that show either but i got a rec for it way before so id seen the poster for it and yeah thats the one i rembered....the pipeline goes crazy what the hell

but also its been so hectic i literally havent had time to watch any further from where i left off last time ough ... literally just as i thought id have time after finishing tsukutabe i got pulled into watching another show by a friend so i think im gonna wait to finish that + cm anime first before getting back into build properly bc i rlly wanna Remember whats going on in the show instead of forgoring it all in the haze of the media consumption fdsfjkdsj,, but still if u wanna share anything else in the meanwhile or if u have ur review of the show pls do send them over id love to see/read!!! 👐
