Lego Monkie Kid, Mekakucity Actors AU, Who Would Be Who

Bc I've had this AU plaguing my mind for AGES, and I need to get it out and for it to plague other peoples' minds. Not a Huge Deep Dive, but just a list of who in LMK would be in the role of what Mekaku character. All of these choices are based off vibes, what makes most sense, and what hurts me the most emotionally.

MK, as Kano Shuuya:

Mei, as Tsubomi Kido:

Red Son, as Kousuke Seto(bc making trafficlight trio the og 3 Mekakushi Dan members aligned too perfectly):

Six-Eared Macaque, as Shintaro Kisaragi(bc making Mac a self-loathing, loser hikki-NEET shut-in is funny /affectionate):

Sun Wukong, as Ayano Tateyama(If you know Mekakucity Actors/KagePro in general, you're gonna wanna hit me with bricks for this one lol):

Host Girl/Baihe, as Marry Kozakura(Once again, you're gonna want to hit me with bricks for this one lmao):

Lady Bone Demon, as Azami-sama:

Tang, as Kenjirou Tateyama:

Pigsy, as Ayaka Tateyama(Third time you're gonna want to hit me with bricks):

Golden Peng, as Takane Enomoto/Ene:

Azure Lion, as Haruka Kokonose/Konoha(Just go with it, trust me on this):

Aaaaand, I have no clue who to have be in the role of Hibiya and Hiyori in this AU. I could possibly have Nezha be Hibiya, but GOD do i fucking hate the Western side of the fandom's insistence on saying Nezha is eternally 11/12, when that's absolutely wrong. If anyone who's into both LMK and KagePro has any ideas of who could be Hibiya and Hiyori, by all means give me suggestions.

Im going to ramble, this is just my opinion

I made a post somewhere about why I dislike Seto x Marry and the main reason is because it would imply Marry is a higher priority to Seto than his family because she's his girlfriend and not because she's needs the extra support/Seto is generally emotionally mature.

Someone said they ppl really do prioritize their girlfriends over their siblings and while I don't necessarily disagree, I think in the case of the mekakushi trio, it's an exception because their relationship doesn't seem to be traditional siblings, but closer.

My point is I find it very difficult to believe that if Seto, Kano, and Kido didn't happen to become legal family, they wouldn't be found family anyway. Like theyre interrelated in more ways than one, both fundamentally and personally. Fundamentally in the sense they all have eye abilities, and personally for the following reasons.

Just about everything about their childhood points the three of them as a trio from the start. They're assigned to the same room, they're all outcasted, their room is collectively referred to as "the monster house", specifically the collection of three of them. Their personalities bounce of each other, and they clearly stick together by choice from the start. Like Kido often got annoyed and mean to Seto and Kano, but why didn't she just try to find other friends?

Like, they're a trio. Like, between them and the rest of the gang, they're a subgroup within the group. Now, Marry is very distinctively an outliner. I don't mean this in a mean way per se, but you know. She's different from the rest of the gang, she's a medusa and has the queen snake, and over is 100 years old etc etc. like she inherently cannot connect with the tightknit trio in a fundamental sense the same way Seto, Kano, and Kido automatically connect with each other.

And of course, Seto, Kano, and Kido ARE family. But my point is theyre very distinctively (found) family, regardless whether or not theyre legally family. In other words, their dynamic oozed sibling/close knit vibes from the very beginning.

Regardless, the trio grew up together and share a sister (as in, Ayano) and further trauma of their new mom's death. In certain routes, (the second manga route namely) Marry IS a sister to the trio and Ayano so i do appreciate in certain routes Marry grows up with the trio too. But again, she's fundamentally 'different' and Marry and Seto connect with each other (as shown in Shounen Brave) more than Kido and Kano do with her. So my point is Seto, Kido, and Kano and nonetheless a distinct subgroup that excludes Marry. (Jeez, that sounded mean)

To be clear, yes, the mekakushi dan are very very close (family levels of close) to each other. But it'd be wrong to say some of them aren't as close as others to certain people. It's hardly a drastic difference (or I'd like to think so anyway lol) but I find it hard to believe Seto wouldnt be at least mildly closer to his siblings than Marry.

Anyway I rambled. I'll paste the original post I made I'm referring to

Why I Dislike Seto X Marry

So this isn't meant to be a dogmatic or aggressive post at all! Just a friendly and civil debate at most! This is just my opinion, that's what I'm trying to say :)

So yeah, I dislike Seto x Marry and... TL;DR: it's mainly because it trivializes their friendship. That's probably not clear so I'll explain.

1. Seto is depicted as a very emotionally mature, perceptive, empathetic kind of person. He wasn't like that as a kid so, logically, Seto has put in a lot of effort to better himself and become as emotionally intelligent as he is. And that can be proven by how gentle and caring he is to Marry.

However, if you're under the impression Marry and Seto are together, then it negates Seto's self-betterment because it's implying all of Seto's actions towards Marry that showcase his emotional maturity were influenced by romance and he might've not acted the same way if he didn't happen to have feelings for her.

In other words, Seto has put a lot of effort into bettering himself. To imply that some of his best showcases of it were based on feelings outside of his control contradicts his self-improvement and negates his integrity.

2. Seto is undeniably more active in Marry's life than Kido's or Kano's. To be more specific, we see him interact with Marry more often than Kido or Kano. For example, in the anime when Momo wakes up at the Mekakushi hideout and screams bloody murder, Seto immediately goes to make sure Marry is okay. Of course, you could argue it's because Marry (in this example, Marry literally collapsed but I'm talking generally) is sensitive and needs more support.

That kind of thing happens quite a few times. For another example, when the terrorist attack occurs: Seto gives more attention to Marry than his siblings. And it's true this can all be attributed to Marry needing the extra support and reassurance more than Kido or Kano. I mean, we always see Marry being sensitive and timid so ofc she's gonna need to be comforted more than Kano or Kido who are characteristically tough.

Going back to Seto generally being more active in Marry's life than Kido's and Kano's, Seto has always been depicted as a caring person. Seto has always been keyed up to have been a lot like Marry, especially in Shounen Brave and even Imagination Forest. So it's totally understandable for Seto to genuinely care about Marry's well-being and the well-being of anyone who isn't okay, such as Kano.

But, if Seto and Marry are together, then the vibe goes from "Seto wants to help out someone in need of help" to "Seto prioritizes his girlfriend over his family."

And, you know... given the family drama in the trio, it's pretty gross if Seto prioritizes A GIRLFRIEND over his remaining siblings. Marry being a higher priority because she's sensitive VS Marry being a higher priority because she's his girlfriend is... you know, a big difference. I know Seto x Marry doesn't automatically mean Seto gains that kind of thought process, but I prefer to disregard that possibility entirely. I like to think Seto helps out Marry because he's a nice person, not because he has an ulterior motive.

In other words, Seto x Marry implies Seto is more active in Marry's life than his remaining family's lives because of romance, and not because Seto is a genuinely nice person.

3. Also, technically Marry is like 140 while Seto is like 16. Not the most creative factor I guess but I figured I should mention it lol. Also, when Seto dies, won't Marry keep living and that'd be kinda sad for her… isn't that what created the daze lol. A human dating a medusa…

hugs in kagepro that i can remember off of the top of my head: azami and tsukihiko hugging when he came back after being gone for a while, seto and kano hug in anime and novel, kido and rin hug while they were trapped in the basement, ayaki and marry hug at the end of the manga after they defeated clearing eyes...... OH momo and azami in marry's body hug in the novels. i feel like the ayano hugged each of the mekakushi trio at some point. does kenjirou trying to protect his wife from a landslide count as a hug. MARRY HUGGING HER MOTHER.

I totally sympathize with Kido and not gonna lie, I would've reacted as badly if I were her too. Thank you for answering my question, I wonder how the reconciliation between the boys would gone if Kido was present too :0

I think Kido would come round eventually, but (in addition to a frankly owed apology) Ayano would really have to prove she's changed her mind about killing Marry and show that she's trustworthy. As Novel 7 revealed, Kido's been "burned" before by a family member trying to murder her and her sibling - so even if she's willfully blocked out that memory I think subconsciously she'd still have some misgivings.

Seto, on the other hand, may be the most protective of Marry herself - but possesses such a kind and gentle heart that I don't imagine he has it in him to hold deep grudges - as evidenced by the ease with which he did readily forgive Ayano after everything. Besides, if he didn't believe she was truly sorry or that her intentions were pure, he could always read her mind to be sure. But to him that's always a last resort and would likely rather give the benefit of the doubt.

Kano is the complicated case, I think, as it's always hard to tell exactly where his alliances lie. He's been heavily implied to be the one most enamored with Ayano, so for him to even reject her, I think it's more a matter of "not my nee-chan" than it is out of sole desire to defend Marry, as he has less reason to be loyal to the latter. Like Kido, he also has a history of being betrayed by older familial figures who were supposed to nurture and care for him - hell, he still loved his mom despite all the abuse - and it's only thanks to meeting those similar to him (Kido and Seto) that he's able to open up and recognize a toxic relationship, so he will side with his own "kind" even over his "crush".  If the other two do agree to trust her again, then he’ll likely follow their lead.

re: MekaTrio + changes

Kano: It’s okay~. I mean, Seto, when you walk around with Mary, you guys often get mistaken for siblings, right?

Seto: That’s true, but it’s a matter of whose eyes look at us. This is about whether what’s inside of me is an Onii-chan or not.

Shintarou: Actually, for starters, what does Mary want an Onii-chan to do? Mary: Onii-chans are kindhearted and can do anything. They can use magic. Seto: No, no, no, what world is this type of Onii-chan from?! You’ve been watching too much anime, Mary! Kano: You can do it, you can do it. Shintarou: Do your best, do your best. Seto: No, it’s impossible!

Mary: Seto-onii-chan.

Seto: Uh, that way of referring to me gives me a weird feeling… I wish you would drop it…

Shintarou: Onii-chans might indeed play around with you, take you shopping and buy you the stuff you wish for, but we can also do that, right? Mary, if you request it, no one will refuse.

Mary: Really? Shintarou: Yeah.

Kano: That’s indeed true. Maybe even if we don’t to go through the trouble of [ becoming Onii-chans ], we can have fun with you the way we are anytime, y’know?

Seto: That’s right. If it’s something we can do, we’ll grant it to you.

A concept: Kido, Seto and Kano have a secret handshake since childhood. Since Kano and Kido started dating they kiss after a handshake.

When Seto sees it he's like "Ok, but for clarification- is this the new thing we do or is it just you two?"
