Koinatsu “I’ll be happy to. Which should I read?”

禿２「う～んとねぇ…」

Kamuro-Ni “Uuuntonee…”

Young girl-2 “Hmm, let’s see.”

禿１「わっちも！わっちも読んで！」

Kamuro-Ichi “Wacchimo! Wacchimo yonde!”

Young girl-1 “Me, too! Read me a story, too!”

鯉夏「じゃあ、先にこれを読んで、終わったらそれも読もうか？」

Koinatsu “Jaa, sakini kore’o yonde, owattara soremo yomoka?”

Koinatsu “All right, then let me read this one first, and when I’m done, shall I read that one?”

禿２「わっち、あとでいいよ」

Kamuro-Ni “Wacchi, atode iiyo.”

Young girl-2 “You can read mine later!”

Koinatsu “Ara-ara. Aa, so-so, sono maeni futari-niwa kore ageru.”

Koinatsu “Now, now… Oh, that reminds me! First, I have something to give to you two.”

禿１「何、何？」

Kamuro-Ichi “Nani, nani?”

Young girl-1 “What is it? What is it?”

京極屋の旦那「んっ！いなくなった？」

Kyogoku-yano Danna “N! Inaku-natta?”

Master of Kyogoku House “Nowhere to be found?”

新造「はい、あの… 善子なんですけど、黄色い頭の。気を失っているのを寝かせていたんですが、部屋にいなくて…。捜させますか？」

Shinzo “Hai, ano… Zenko-nan-desu-kedo, kiiroi atamano. Ki’o ushinatte-iruno’o nekasete-itan-desuga, heyani inakute… Saga-sase-masuuka?

Female staff “Yes. Uh, it’s Zenko. The one with the yellow hair. She’d fainted, so we put her to bed, but she’s not in her room. Shall I have them look for her?”

旦那「うん… やめろ!! もういい、捜すな！“足抜け”だ！俺は知らん!! どこかへ逃げたんだろう！放っておけ!!」

Danna “Un… Yamero!! Mo ii, sagasuna! “Ashi-nuke”da! Orewa shiran!! Dokoka’e nigetan-daro!! Hotte-oke!!”

Master “Don’t bother. Forget it. Don’t look for her. It’s Ashinuke! What do I care! She must’ve run off somewhere. Just forget about it.”

新造「でも、旦那さん…」

Shinzo “Demo, Danna-san…”

Female staff “But Master…”

旦那「うう… 黙らねぇか!!」

Danna “Uu… Damara-neeka!!”

Master “Would you shut the hell up?”

新造「ああっ！」

Shinzo “Aa!”

旦那「下がれ!!」

Danna “Sagare!!”

Master “Dismissed!”

新造「あっ…」

Shinzo “A…”

旦那「二度と善子の話はするな!! 皆にも、そう伝えておけ！蕨姫花魁の気に障る��うなことをするからだ。善子も、お三津も…！」

Danna “Nidoto Zenkono hanashiwa suruna!! Mina-nimo so tsutaete-oke! Warabihime Oiranno kini sawaru-yona koto’o suru-karada. Zenkomo, Omitsumo…!”

Master “Don’t ever mention Zenko’s name again! Tell the others not to, either. It’s all because they got on Warabihime Oiran’s nerves! Both Zenko and Omitsu.”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

嘴平伊之助「だーかーら！俺んとこに鬼がいんだよ！」

Hashibira Inosuke “Daakaara! Oren-tokoni oniga indayo!”

Inosuke Hashibira “I… told… you! There’s a demon at my House, all right?”

炭治郎「あっ、いや…」

Tanjiro “A, iya…”

Tanjiro “Well…”

伊之助「こういう奴がいるんだって。こういうのが!!」

Inosuke “Ko-iu yatsuga irun-datte. Ko-iuno-ga!!”

Inosuke “I’m telling you, it was a thing like this! You know, like this!”

炭治郎「うん、それは、あの… ちょっと待ってくれ」

Tanjiro “Un, sorewa, ano… Chotto matte-kure.”

Tanjiro “Yeah, sure, uh… Hold up a second, okay?”

伊之助「こうか!? これならわかるか!?」

Inosuke “Koka!? Kore-nara wakaruka!?”

Inosuke “Like this? Do you get this, then?”

炭治郎「そろそろ宇随さんと善逸が定期連絡に来ると思うから…」

Tanjiro “Soro-soro Uzui-santo Zen’itsuga teiki-renrakuni kuruto omou-kara…”

Tanjiro “Uzui and Zenitsu should be coming soon to check in, so―”

伊之助「こうなんだよ！俺にはわかってんだよ！」

Inosuke “Ko nan-dayo! Ore-niwa wakatten-dayo!”

Inosuke “It was like this, okay? It was clear to me!”

炭治郎「うんうん…」

Tanjiro “Un-un…”

Tanjiro “Yeah. Yeah.”

宇髄天元「善逸は来ない」

Uzui Tengen “Zen’itsuwa konai.”

Tengen Uzui “Zenitsu won’t be coming.”

炭治郎「あっ……」

Tanjiro “A……”

伊之助（コイツ…やる奴だぜ。音がしねぇ… 風が揺らぎすらしなかった…）

Inosuke (Koitsu… Yaru yatsu daze. Otoga shinee… Kazega yuragi-sura shina-katta…)

Inosuke (This guy’s got mad skills! He didn’t make a sound. Not even the slightest puff of wind!)

炭治郎「善逸が来ないって、どういうことですか？」

Tanjiro “Zen’itsuga konaitte, do-iu koto desuka?”

Tanjiro “‘Zenitsu won’t be coming.’ What do you mean by that?”

天元「お前たちには悪いことをしたと思ってる。俺は嫁を助けたいが為に、いくつもの判断を間違えた。善逸は今、行方知れずだ。昨夜から連絡が途絶えてる。お前らはもう“花街(ここ)”から出ろ。階級が低すぎる。ここ��いる鬼が“上弦”だった場合、対処できない。消息を絶った者は死んだと見做(みな)す。後は、俺一人で動く」

Tengen “Omae-tachi-niwa warui koto’o shitato omotteru. Orewa yome’o tasuke-taiga-tameni, ikutsu-mono handan’o machigaeta. Zen’itsuwa ima, yukue-shirezuda. Sakuya-kara renrakuga todae-teru. Omaerawa mo koko-kara dero. Kaikyuga hiku-sugiru. Kokoni iru oniga ‘Jogen’datta-baai, taisho deki-nai. Shosoku’o tatta monowa shindato minasu. Atowa, ore hitoride ugoku.”

Tengen “I feel bad about putting you through this. I wanted to… rescue my wives so badly, I made some bad decisions. As it stands, Zenitsu is missing. There’s been no contact since last night. You two should leave now. You’re ranked too low for this. If the demon here turns out to be an Upper Rank, you couldn’t handle it. If you vanish from here, they’ll assume that you’re dead. I’ll be continuing this mission on my own.”

炭治郎「いいえ宇随さん、俺たちは…!!」

Tanjiro “Iie Uzui-san, ore-tachiwa…!!”

Tanjiro “No, Uzui, we―”

天元「恥じるな」

Tengen “Hajiruna.”

Tengen “Don’t be ashamed!”

炭治郎「あっ…」

Tanjiro “A…”

天元「生きてる奴が勝ちなんだ。機会を見誤るんじゃない」

Tengen “Ikiteru yatsuga kachi nanda. Kikai’o mi’ayama-runja nai.”

Tengen “Whoever survives, wins. Don’t overlook your chance.”

伊之助「待てよ、オッサン!! おお…」

Inosuke “Mateyo, Ossan!! Oo…”

Inosuke “Come back here, old man!”

炭治郎「俺たちが一番下の階級だから、信用してもらえなかったのかな…」

Tanjiro “Ore-tachiga ichi-ban shitano kaikyu dakara, shin’yo-shite-morae-nakattano-kana…”

Tanjiro “You think he can’t trust us because we’re the lowest ranked?”

伊之助「俺たちの階級、“庚(かのえ)”だぞ。もう上がってる」

Inosuke “Ore-tachino kaikyu, ‘Kanoe’dazo. Mo agatteru.”

Inosuke “Hey, our rank is Kanoe. We’ve already moved up.”

炭治郎「えっ？」

Tanjiro “E?”

Tanjiro “Huh?”

伊之助「階級、覚えてるか？前は一番下の癸(みずのと)だったろ。今は下から四番目、庚(かのえ)だ」

Inosuke “Kaikyu, oboe-teruka? Maewa ichi-ban shitano ‘Mizunoto’ dattaro. Imawa shita-kara yon-banme, ‘Kanoe’ da.”

Inosuke “Do you remember all the rankings? Remember how we used to be Mizunoto. Now we’re fourth from the bottom, Kanoe!”

村田「くうっ！追いつかれた！」

Murata “Kuu! Oitsu-kareta!”

Murata “Oh snap! You caught up to me!”

伊之助「ヌハハハハ！ざまあみろ、ションベン漏らしめ！すぐに抜いてやるぜ！」

Inosuke “Nuhahahaha! Zamaa-miro, shonben-morashi-me! Suguni nuite-yaruze!”

Inosuke “Eat it, you pissant crybaby! We’ll be moving past you in no time!”

村田「何だと、このクソ猪！」

Murata “Nandato, kono Kuso-Inoshishi!”

Murata “What was that, you stupid boar?”

伊之助「やんのかコラ！オラッ！」

Inosuke “Yan-noka kora! Ora!”

Inosuke “You wanna fight?”

村田「んんっ！」

Murata “Nn!”

伊之助・村田「があっ！」

Inosuke, Murata “Gaa!”

伊之助「いいか、見てろ。階級を示せ。んっ！どうだ！」

Inosuke “Iika, mitero. Kaikyu’o shimese. N! Doda!”

Inosuke “Ready? Watch this. Show me my ranking. How do you like that?”

炭治郎「へえ～！」（何それ……）

Tanjiro “Heee!” (Nani sore……)

Tanjiro (What was that?)

伊之助「あっ？藤の山で、手ェこちょこちょされただろ？」

Inosuke “A? Fujino yamade, tee kocho-kocho sareta-daro?”

Inosuke “Huh? They fiddled with your arm at the Wisteria Mountain, didn’t they?”

炭治郎「こちょこちょされた覚えはあるけど、疲れてたし…」

Tanjiro “Kocho-kocho sareta oboewa aru-kedo, tsukare-tetashi…”

Tanjiro “I remember them fiddling with it, but I was exhausted.”

伊之助「 “藤花彫(とうかぼ)り”っつって、言葉と筋肉の膨張(ぼうちょう)で浮き出るんだってよ」

Inosuke “‘Toka-bori’ttsutte, kotobato kin’nikuno bochode uki-derun-dattteyo.”

Inosuke “It’s called ‘Wisteria Flower Engraving,’ and you say that phrase and flex your muscles to invoke it.”

炭治郎「こういうことって知らなかった…」

Tanjiro “Ko-iu kototte shira-nakatta…”

Tanjiro “I had no idea about that.”

伊之助「鬼殺隊の印だ」

Inosuke “Kisatsu-Taino shirushi da.”

Inosuke “It’s a sign that you’re a Demon Slayer.”

炭治郎「ハア…」

Tanjiro “Haa…”

伊之助「元気出せよ！」

Inosuke “Genki daseyo!”

Inosuke “Hey, cheer up!”

炭治郎「そうだ、こんな場合じゃないんだゴメン。夜になったら、すぐに伊之助のいる“荻本屋”へ行く。それまで待っててくれ。一人で動くのは危ない！」

Tanjiro “Soda, konna baaija nainda gomen. Yoruni nattara, suguni Inosukeno iru ‘Ogimoto-ya’e iku. Sore-made mattete-kure. Hitoride ugoku-nowa abunai!”

Tanjiro “Wait! We don’t have time for this! Sorry! As soon as night falls, I’ll head over to your Ogimoto House! So wait for me until then. It’d be dangerous to make a move on your own!”

伊之助「何でだよ！」

Inosuke “Nande-dayo!”

Inosuke “Why should I do that?”

炭治郎「今日で俺のいる店も調べ終わるから」

Tanjiro “Kyode oreno iru misemo shirabe-owaru-kara.”

Tanjiro “I’ll be done investigating my own House today!”

伊之助「けっ！俺のトコに鬼がいるって言ってんだから、今から来いっつーの!! 頭悪ィなテメーはホントに!!」

Inosuke “Ke! Oreno tokoni oniga irutte itten-dakara, ima-kara koittsuuno!! Atama wariina, temeewa hontoni!!”

Inosuke “I told you, the demon’s at my House, so you’d better come with me now! How stupid are you, anyway? For crying out loud!”

女将「うるっさい…」

Okami “Urussai…”

Madam “Would they just shut up?”

炭治郎「ひがうよ（ちがうよ）」

Tanjiro “Higauyo(Chigauyo).”

伊之助「あーん!? フン！フン！」

Inosuke “Aaan!? Fun! Fun!”

炭治郎「夜の間、店の外は宇随さんが見張っていただろ? イタタタタ、でも善逸は消えたし、伊之助の店の鬼も今は姿を隠してる！」

Tanjiro “Yoruno aida, miseno sotowa Uzui-sanga mihatte-ita-daro? Itatatata, demo Zen’itsuwa kietashi, Inosukeno miseno onimo imawa sugata’o kakushi-teru!”

Tanjiro “Uzui was patrolling outside the Houses during the night, right? Ouch, ouch, ouch! Even still, Zenitsu disappeared! And the demon at your place is nowhere to be seen right now!”

炭治郎「ちょっと！ペムペムするの、やめてくれ！建物の中に通路があるんじゃないかと思うんだよ」

Tanjiro “Chotto! Pemu-pemu-suruno, yamete-kure! Tatemonono nakani tsuroga arunja naikato omoun-dayo.”

Tanjiro “Hey! Could you stop smacking me around? I think there must be a passageway inside the building!”

伊之助「んっ…通路？」

Inosuke “N…Tsuro?”

Inosuke “Passageway?”

炭治郎「そうだ。しかも店に出入りしてないということは、鬼は中で働いてる者の可能性が高い。鬼が店で働いていたり、巧妙に人間のふりをしていればいるほど、人を殺すのには慎重になる。バレないように」

Tanjiro “Soda. Shikamo miseni deiri shite-naito iu-kotowa, oniwa nakade hatarai-teru-monono kanoseiga takai. Oniga misede hataraite-itari, komyoni ningenno furi’o shite-ireba iru-hodo, hito’o korosuno-niwa shinchoni naru. Barenai-yoni.”

Tanjiro “That’s right. And since it’s not coming in and out… there’s a good chance that the demon is working on the inside. If the demon’s working in the House… and cleverly disguising itself as a human… then it’d be all the more careful about killing people to make sure that its cover won’t be blown.”

伊之助「そうか…殺人の後始末には手間が掛かる。血痕は簡単に消せねえしな」

Inosuke “Soka… Satsujinno ato-shimatsu-niwa temaga kakaru. Kekkonwa kantanni kesenee-shina.”

Inosuke “I get it. Cleaning up after a murder would be a hassle. And wiping away bloodstains would be a chore.”

炭治郎「ここは夜の街だ。鬼に都合がいいことも多いが、都合の悪いことも多い。夜は仕事をしなきゃならない。いないと不審に思われる」

Tanjiro “Kokowa yoruno machida. Onini tsugoga-ii kotomo ooiga, tsugono warui kotomo ooi. Yoruwa shigoto’o shinakya nara-nai. Inaito fushinni omo-wareru.”

Tanjiro “This is a nightlife district. It can be convenient for demons in more ways than one, but also just as inconvenient for them. They have to work at night. It would seem suspicious if they weren’t around.”

伊之助「…そうだな」

Inosuke “…Sodana.”

Inosuke “You’re right.”

炭治郎「俺は、善逸も宇随さんの奥さんたちも皆、生きてると思う。そのつもりで行動する。必ず助け出す。伊之助にも、そのつもりで行動して欲しい。そして絶対に、死なないで欲しい。それでいいか？」

Tanjiro “Orewa, Zen’itsumo Uzui-sanno okusan-tachimo minna, ikiteruto omou. Sono tsumoride kodo suru. Kanarazu tasuke-dasu. Inosuke-nimo, sono tsumoride kodo shite-hoshii. Soshite zettaini, shina-naide hoshii. Sorede iika?”

Tanjiro “I think that not only Zenitsu, but Uzui’s wives, as well, are all still alive! I’m going to take action with that in mind. I’m going to rescue them, no matter what! I want you to take action with that in mind, too. And no matter what… I don’t want you to die. Are you okay with that?”

伊之助「フッ、お前が言ったこと全部な―――今俺が言おうとしてたことだぜ!!」

Inosuke “Fu, omaega itta-koto zenbuna―――Ima orega iouto shiteta koto daze!!”

Inosuke “Everything you just said… is what I was about to say myself!”

禿１「花魁。お茶お持ちしました」

Kamuro-Ichi “Oiran. Ocha omochi shimashita.”

Young girl-1 “Oiran… We’ve brought you your tea.”

鯉夏「ありがとう。もう支度はいいから、御飯(ごはん)を食べておいで」

禿たち「はーい」

Young girl-2 “Didn’t she?”

鯉夏「あの子たちったら」

Koinatsu “Anoko-tachittara.”

Koinatsu “Oh, those girls…”

炭治郎「鯉夏さん」

Tanjiro “Koinatsu-san.”

Tanjiro “Miss Koinatsu?”

鯉夏「あ…。炭…ちゃん？」

Koinatsu “A… Sumi…chan?”

Koinatsu “Sumi?”

炭治郎「不躾に申し訳ありません。俺は、“ときと屋”を出ます。お世話になった間の食事代などを旦那さんたちに渡していただけませんか？」

Tanjiro “Bushitsukeni moshi-wake ari-masen. Orewa, ‘Tokito-ya’o demasu. Osewani natta aidano shokuji-dai-nado’o danna-san-tachini watashite-itadake-masenka?”

Tanjiro “Forgive me for being so rude. I am leaving the Tokito House. Could you please give Master my payment for my food and lodging?”

鯉夏「炭ちゃん… その格好は…」

Koinatsu “Sumi-chan… Sono kakkowa…”

Koinatsu “Sumi… The way you’re dressed…”

炭治郎「訳あって女性の姿でしたが、俺は男なんです」

Tanjiro “Wake atte joseino Sugata deshitaga, orewa otoko nan-desu.”

Tanjiro “I had to dress as a woman for certain reasons, but I’m actually a guy!”

鯉夏「あ、それは知ってるわ。見ればわかるし… 声も」

Koinatsu “A, sorewa shitteruwa. Mireba wakarushi… Koemo.”

Koinatsu “Oh, I already knew that. It was obvious at a glance. And your voice…”

炭治郎「……えっ？」

Tanjiro “……E?”

Tanjiro “What?”

鯉夏「男の子だっていうのは最初からわかってたの。何してるのかなって思ってはいたんだけど…」

Koinatsu “Otokonoko datte iu-nowa saisho-kara wakattetano. Nani shiteruno-kanatte omottewa itan-dakedo….”

Koinatsu “I knew you were a boy from the start. I did wonder what you were up to, but…”

炭治郎（まさか、バレていたとは…）

Tanjiro (Masaka, barete-ita-towa…)

Tanjiro (Who knew that I was busted?)

鯉夏「事情があるのよね？須磨ちゃんを心配してたのは本当よね？」

Koinatsu “Jijoga aruno-yone? Suma-chan’o shinpai-shiteta-nowa honto yone?”

Koinatsu “You have your reasons, don’t you? You were worried about Suma for real, weren’t you?”

炭治郎「はい！それは勿論(もちろん)です。嘘ではありません！いなくなった人たちは必ず助け出します」

Tanjiro “Hai! Sorewa mochiron desu. Uso-dewa ari-masen! Inaku-natta hito-tachiwa kanarazu tasuke-dashi-masu.”

Tanjiro “Yes! That’s the truth! That was no lie! I promise you I’ll rescue everyone who vanished!”

鯉夏「…ありがとう。少し安心できたわ。私ね…明日にはこの街を出て行くのよ」

Koinatsu “…Arigato. Sukoshi anshin dekitawa. Watashine… Ashita-niwa kono machi’o dete-iku-noyo.”

Koinatsu “Thank you. That sets my mind at ease a bit. You see, I’m leaving this district tomorrow.”

炭治郎「そうなんですか!! それは嬉しいことですね」

Tanjiro “So-nan-desuka!! Sorewa ureshii koto desune.”

Tanjiro “Is that right? You must be so happy!”

鯉夏「こんな私でも、奥さんにしてくれる人がいて…今本当に幸せなの。でも… だからこそ、残していく皆のことが心配でたまらなかった。嫌な感じのする出来事があっても、私には調べる術(すべ)すらない……」

Koinatsu “Konna watashi-demo, okusanni shite-kureru hitoga ite…Ima hontoni shiawase nano. Demo…

Dakara-koso, nokoshite-iku minnano kotoga shinpaide tamara-nakatta. Iyana kanjino suru dekigotoga attemo, watashi-niwa shiraberu sube-sura nai…….”

Koinatsu “There’s someone who would want even me as his wife. I really couldn’t be happier right now! But… that’s all the more reason why I was worried sick about those I’m leaving behind. Even if I were to get a bad feeling about something, I have no way of even looking into it.”

炭治郎「それは当然です。どうか気にしないで、笑顔でいてください」

Tanjiro “Sorewa tozen desu. Doka kini shinaide, egaode ite-kudasai.”

Tanjiro “No one can blame you for that. Please don’t worry about it. Please always keep a smile on your face.”

鯉夏「……私は、あなたにもいなくなってほしくないのよ、炭ちゃん」

Koinatsu “……Watashiwa, anata-nimo inaku-natte hoshiku-nai-noyo, Sumi-chan.”

Koinatsu “I don’t want you to disappear, either… Sumi.”

炭治郎「ん… では、行きます。お幸せに」

Tanjiro “N… Dewa, iki-masu. Oshiawaseni…”

Tanjiro “Now then, I’ll be off. I wish you every happiness.”

鯉夏「ありがとう。炭ちゃんもね。須磨ちゃんのこと、よろしくね」

Koinatsu “Arigato. Sumi-chan-mo-ne. Suma-channo koto, yoroshikune.”

Koinatsu “Thank you. You, too, Sumi. And I’m counting on you to save Suma.”

炭治郎「はい！」

Tanjiro “Hai!”

Tanjiro “Right!”

鯉夏「ん？何か忘れ物？」

Koinatsu “N? Nanika wasure-mono?”

Koinatsu “Did you forget something?”

堕姫「そうよ。忘れないように喰っておかなきゃ。アンタは今夜までしかいないから。ねぇ、鯉夏」

Daki “Soyo. Wasure-nai-yoni kutte okanakya. Antawa kon’ya-made-shika inai-kara. Nee, Koinatsu.”

Daki “That’s right. I need to devour you before I forget. Since tonight’s your last night here. Right, Koinatsu?”

鯉夏「ああ…ハッ」

Koinatsu “Aa…Ha.”

Introducing... ROBOTICUS!!!

Roboticus loves to hang out with friends and is very kind and silly!

History: So a few months ago, I threw together a strange OC whose head comes from a 2 year old ugly abomination I never finished 🥰

The second image was the design for him a few months ago. I wanted him to be an OC for Dandy's World (yes I did base his body off of Vee) but for some reason I instead put him as a contestant in a never finished object show cast I made up called Object Paradox, I might post about it someday idk.

The third image is what he looked like 2 years ago when he was originally going to be a TADC OC. I ended up never finishing the design and only made the head, which is why the body is just a generic guy body (it was a placeholder). More design lore for this: His head is based off the backpack that the Computer Scientist from PVZ: GW2 has on him. AND his original name, Corruptus, is a reference to Five Nights at Treasure Island.

Additionally, those uh shoulder thingys in his final design are a reference to Baldi Sans's design in Baldi's Basics Roleplay and/or The Slapped Cheese 2 (both are Roblox games). Plus, his antennas in his final design are a reference to Oren/Simon's antennas from Sprunki (which is why I drew Oren next to Roboticus in the doodle in the corner)

The end of his design lore! Wow, this makes me realize how many freaking fandoms I jammed into this one OC, up until his final design now shows zero resemblance of the fandoms. I guess aside from his head still looking like the backpack of Computer Scientist.

Riders in Kombat - Fruit vs. Thunder 2 - MK X Kamen Rider

Earth’s Kamen Riders were all leading their respective lives as they saw fit after a year of fighting enemies on a weekly or daily basis, when strange creatures began appearing and attacking indiscriminately.

or Mortal Kombat karakters fight Kamen Riders.

A/N: A self-indulgent idea that sprung from the question of “Who wins in a fight, Raiden, god of Thunder or Kamen Rider Gaim?”

Special shoutout to @dangerouscommiesubversive for answering some anons who asked about Mortal Kombat vs Kamen Rider related questions (its my cousin, the other user of this blog).

A/N: This chapter is also uploaded to honor the 10th anniversary of Kamen Rider Gaim.

"Kouta-san," Micchy greeted.

"Aquarius boy." Oren greeted as well. "Good thing you're here, Monsieur Walnut and my boy were captured by some creepy old man."

"Zack and Hideyasu were?"

"Along with my older brother," Micchy stated somberly. "They stayed behind to get the people evacuated with the help of other Kamen Riders."

"How could I forget my Melon prince?! They also took my Melon prince."

"I'm afraid they're trying to reach for the forbidden fruit."

"Again?"

"No, this is unlike the Helheim forest invasion, this is different," Kouta shook his head. "Just before Takatora and the others were captured, I heard the man say that they'd like to study the fruits that allowed us to transform."

"I had gleaned on that," Oren nodded. "That's why you're here isn't it?"

"That and to give you this."

Kouta handed a few Helheim fruits to Micchy and Oren, all of which turned into lockseeds for them to use, high-ranking ones at that.

"Vile creature!" Thunder boomed as lightning struck the pavement before the armored Riders. "You dare taint Earthrealm with vile fruits?! That is unforgivable!"

"And what? Just leave them unable to defend themselves from your incursion?!" Koura demanded. "I don't know if you noticed but this isn't your Earthrealm or whatever."

"Aquarius Boy, you can understand English?" Oren raised an eyebrow.

"He's speaking in English?" Kouta turned to the Durian Rider. "All I hear is Japanese."

"Kouta-san, you might have gained the ability to understand any language after everything." Micchy suggested.

"That makes sense," Oren nodded.

"I see you have corrupted those Earthrealmers, I have no choice but to send you to the Netherrealm."

"Henshin!"

"Kiwami Arms!"

"Budou Arms!"

"King Durian Arms!"

All three Riders were able to transform before the lightning that was summoned by the newcomer hit them. As the smoke dissipated, Kouta had a melon-themed shield in front while Oren and Micchy wore armor that shared similarities to that of Kouta's.

"I see there's no hope for the two of you."

"Micchy, Old man, let's do this!"

"Right!"

Bravo and Ryugen surrounded Raiden on two different sides as Gaim stared at the thunder god head-on. A few moments of staring at the man with lightning powers ensued before he charged at the silver-armored man with his staff in hand.

Gaim parried the strike with his saber as an orange-themed sword materialized in his hand and attempted to slash the thunder god with it.

Ryugen pulled the lever on his gun and shot multiple enlarged grapes at his flying opponent, all of which were dodged gracefully in the air.

Bravo followed up the younger man's attack, jumped into the air, and attempted to slash the self-proclaimed thunder god with both of his swords.

Raiden expertly parried the attack and delivered an attack himself, slamming Oren to a nearby car and denting it.

"Oren-san!"

Micchy rushed to the older man's aid, who was groaning in pain.

"Don't worry about me, boy, you need to defeat that man." Oren managed to state.

"No, Micchy, you guard the old man, I will deal with this thunder god person," Kouta ordered. "We can't have the both of you get captured."

"Captured?" Raiden frowned.

"Yosh, from now on, this is my stage!" Kouta declared. "You're going down."

"Let's see you try, vile creature!"

Gaim started by materializing a red mechanical bow that he immediately fired at the thunder god.

Raiden was momentarily stunned at the new weapon the creature materialized that he was hit by the incoming arrow that the peculiar bow summoned. He shook his head as he dodged the subsequent attacks from the said bow and charged at his opponent, this time intending to destroy his opponent.

Raiden fired a bolt of lightning, which was dodged by his enemy, and teleported behind the armored warrior and threw him in the air.

The thunder god punched Kouta's gut and sent him hurtling upwards before he was slammed back down to the ground via the strike Raiden did with the staff.

Kouta immediately stood up and flipped backwards and dodged the coming staff that Raiden threw at him. He materialized a grape-themed gun and fired multiple grapes at the flying opponent, jumped towards the god and slashed him with a banana-themed spear.

As soon as the thunder god was slashed, Gaim immediately grabbed hold of his opponent's collar and faced him to the incoming grape-themed bullets that he had fired earlier before he slammed Raiden to the street.

Raiden teleported behind Kouta and grabbed his opponent by the neck and electrocuted him before throwing the armored warrior upwards.

Kouta managed to get his bearings and materialized a pair of Walnut-themed boxing gloves before they glowed fiery yellow and fired the spikes on his gloves towards his enemy. The gloves caught on fire which Gaim used to punch the thunder god right in the chest, slamming him to a nearby truck.

Raiden teleported away from Gaim and sent a couple of electric balls, which were blocked by a watermelon-themed shield. Kouta knelt and fired the gun that was attached to the shield.

Raiden blocked all the bullets by spinning his staff in front of him; however, this was the distraction Kouta needed.

Gaim jumped in the air and flicked the mini sword on his belt like he had done many times before.

"Kiwami Squash!"

Gaim just kicked Raiden in the chest, sent him flying towards the wall of a crumbling building, and brought the entire building down on him.

Kouta looked towards his fellow Armored Riders.

"Do you know where they're being held?" Kouta undid his transformation before approaching his allies.

"Sadly, no." Oren shook his head.

"I tried following them, but the presence of those sharp-teethed people hindered me," Micchy sighed. "Their bones are their weapons and they can cut through anything, I wanted to risk it, but Oren-san prevented me."

"You're saying, this is like when the Helheim forest was invading Earth?" Oren diverted the topic.

"Notice those yellow lines?"

"Yellow lines?"

"You can't see them?" Kouta pointed at a nearby intact building.

"Must be another one of your abilities, Kouta-san."

"Maybe," Kouta frowned. "We don't have a clue where they're being held and from the looks of things, the longer they're under enemy hands, they have less chances of surviving."

"Kouta-san!" Someone yelled from the air.

"Ghost?" Kouta questioned as a man in white armor landed beside him. "What are you doing here, Takeru?"

"I encountered Haruto-san after I made eye contact with one of those sharp-teethed people. "From the memories I managed to glance on, I saw three people who are connected to you in their memories."

"That must be Takatora, Zack, and Hideyasu!" Kouta exclaimed. "Did you see where they took them?"

"Yeah," Takeru nodded. "Haruto-san is already at the entrance waiting for us." He explained. "It's a portal to Himeji castle in Osaka."

Kouta was in a dilemma. On one hand, he didn't want to leave both Oren and Micchy in the open, vulnerable to the enemies.

On the other hand, he wanted to rescue Takatora, Zack, and Hideyasu as fast as possible. Who knows what that madman was going to do with them, especially when he had heard that old man order one of these monster-like men to capture the armored riders earlier.

"Kami-sama."

"Tomari." Kouta acknowledged.

"Go," The police officer beckoned for the Rider-turned-god to proceed. "Takeru has already informed me. Date and Gotou were tasked to gather Kisaragi and his club mates,"

"They'll be safe with Tomari-san, Kouta-san." Takeru assured.

"What are you waiting for, Aquarius boy?! Go already!"

"We'll be fine, Kouta-san," Micchy assured his friend. "If anything else, I can still fight and defend ourselves."

"If you're sure," Kouta nodded. "Takeru, let's go."

Both Gaim and Ghost rose to the air and flew towards their destination.

"And he can just transform into Gaim immediately." Tomari shook his head. "Takeru forgot to undo his transformation too; Emu's not going to like that."

"Considering circumstances, I think that gamer doctor's going to have to let this slide." Oren offered.

"You're right." Tomari nodded. "Kureshima, help Alfonzo at the back of the car."

---------

As soon as the people in the general area had left, Raiden got up, shrugging away the debris that had fallen on him earlier.

Raiden had been right, this was another situation similar to when Dark Kahn happened. The one he had been fighting earlier was one of those urban legend heroes called Kamen Riders. It was unfortunate that Takeda, alongside everyone he knew on Earthrealm had disappeared.

They mentioned about his friends being captured.

"This bears investigating."

Bäst av bästklubben 2022 del 1

Animal Collective - Time Skiffs N: Gamla vänner som jag trodde mig vara trött på. Känns bekant utan att fördenskull bli gammal skåpmat. Bra driv, stundtals funkig med många hooks. Precis som man vill att gamla vänner ska vara.

Hinako Omori - a journey.. T: Detta har varit min go to skiva hela året. Att lyssna på denna i urar från början till slut är en fröjd och en härlig resa. Så härlig atmosfär så håret reser sig. Bästa spår: A Journey och Snow

Caroline - Caroline P: En viss nostalgi över att lyssna på den här skivan då soundet tar en tillbaka till ca: 2008. Lite Beirut, ambient, jazz, pop och folk. Många fina låtar där framförallt en är min favoritlåt för året 2022. Om ni bara ska lyssna på en låt: Skydiving onto the library roof

Dungen - En är för mycket och tusen aldrig nog M: Riktigt gamla vänner. Känns som de går tillbaka några år soundmässigt. Man får vad man vill ha och håller fortfarande. Gillar låtraden ”det finns ingen sanning, bara historier” på låten Om det finns något som du vill fråga mig. R: Genom våra säsonger har vi inte haft så värst mycket svensk musik, så jag tyckte det kändes kul att plocka upp den tråden trots att vi på sistone har fått en rätt några svenska akter och Toffe plocka med Jonathan Johansson på sin lista. Jag valde att plocka med en förvaltare av något jag uppfattar som vårt musikarv. Dels ligger där en äldre arv med vår folkmusik, dess skalor, men även mycket från den svenska proggen på 70-talet, nu kan ni nog gissa. Tycker alltid att det även finns en mängd andra influenser i musiken, gamla och nya, samt att texterna alltid är tänkvärda vardagsbetraktelser av livet. Skivan är Dungens - En är för mycket och tusen aldrig nog. Dungen är verkligen är alltid ett kärt återseende för mig.

Richard Dawson - The Ruby Cord O: Lite av en ny favorit för mig. Egensinnig gubbe i gränslandet mellan rocker och medeltida bard. Klingar starkt av urbrittisk folk och prog, men utan retrovurmande klichéer - temat här för den som går igång på sådant dessutom snarare framtidsdystopiskt. Triggervarning för mastig dubbel-LP, men rekommenderar att slå er ner med albumets öppning och magnum opus, The Hermit. En långsam berättelse stöpt i ett luftigt och frisläppt arrangemang, där bitarna som till en början kan kännas chansartade till slut faller på plats. Avnjuts med en stor, stark stout.

Katy Kirby - Cool Dry Place (Expanded version släppt 2022...) P: Soft-pop när den är som allra bäst. Den här skivan välkomnade jag våren i Sthlm med. Många tidiga morgnar på tunnelbanan med solen i ögonen över Skanstulls-bron. Skivan kan te sig mjuk vid första lyssningar men växer över tid med små finesser och melodier. Väl värd att checka in. Om ni bara ska lyssna på en låt: Traffic!

Cult Of Luna - The Long Road North D: Årets bästa och fetaste skiva kommer här, episk, grandios och hänsynslös välter den fram med en massiv ljudbild. En dynamisk ångvält av norrländskt vemod. Bara lyssna på mistluren som inleder skivan.

Shabason & Krgovich - At Scaramouche T: En stor favorit från detta året. Lyssna gärna på deras egna projekt som de gjort tidigare. Hade tänkt att köra denna skiva i klubben men nu fick den hamna här istället. Gillar verkligen detta; snygg ljudbild, lite skeva ljud, djup och nära sång och bra melodier. Favoritlåtar: Childhood Mcdonald's och I Am So Happy With My Little Dog.

Oren Ambarchi - Shebang O: Denna dök upp påpassligt medan jag var inne i ett Keith Jarrett-stim. Påminner en del om ECM och elektriska Miles. En gitarrskiva som inte direkt låter som en gitarrskiva. Det är repetitivt, aldrig enformigt, föränderligt och och fyllt av bra ljud som sveper in och ut från en ensemble som känns live men aldrig varit det. Har man hört Ambarchis tidigare är det nog bekant mark, men här kompletteras den drivande pulsen ännu mer av övriga musikers inspel, vilket gör den delvis till ett annat väsen. En skiva man kan återkomma till och hitta små nya detaljer i. 

Decapitated - Cancer Culture D: Nästa skiva är smålökig modern Tech Death, men de har dels lyckats få fram samma ös och teknisk ekvilibrism som på genombrottet 2006 trots att flera bandmedlemmar är utbytta, men det är också den perfekta mixen av det bästa med både Göteborg-och Stockholmsdöds. Ett väl förvaltat arv av såväl At The Gates som Entombed som gör att jag kan leva med de gästande sångarnas malplacerade skönsång, önskar att de bara låtit Jinjer leverera growl.

Lecturas del Jueves de la 30ª semana del Tiempo Ordinario

Lecturas del día 31 de Octubre de 2024

Primera lectura

Lectura de la carta del apóstol San Pablo a los Efesios 6,10-20

Hermanos: Busquen su fortaleza en el Señor y en su invencible poder. Utilicen las armas que Dios les ha dado, para poder resistir a las asechanzas del diablo. Porque no estamos luchando contra fuerzas humanas, sino contra las fuerzas espirituales y sobrehumanas del mal, que dominan y gobiernan este mundo de tinieblas.

Por eso, para que puedan resistir en los momentos difíciles y quedar definitivamente victoriosos, revístanse con la armadura de Dios: que su cinturón sea siempre la verdad; su coraza, la justicia; su calzado, la prontitud para anunciar el Evangelio de la paz; que la fe les sirva siempre de escudo para protegerlos y apagar las flechas incendiarias del enemigo malo; pónganse el casco de la salvación y empuñen la espada del espíritu, que es la palabra de Dios.

Y, con la ayuda del Espíritu Santo, oren y supliquen continuamente. Velen en oración constantemente por todo el pueblo cristiano y también por mí, a fin de que Dios me conceda hablar con toda libertad para anunciar el misterio de Cristo, contenido en el Evangelio, del cual soy embajador, aunque estoy encadenado. Pidan, pues, que tenga valor para predicarlo como debo.

Palabra de Dios

Salmo Responsorial

Sal 144 (143), 1.2.9-10

R./ Bendito sea el Señor, mi fortaleza.

Bendito sea el Señor, mi roca firme; él adiestró mis manos y mis dedos para luchar en lides. R./ Bendito sea el Señor, mi fortaleza.

El es mi amigo fiel, mi fortaleza, mi seguro escondite, escudo en que me amparo, el que los pueblos a mis plantas rinde. R./ Bendito sea el Señor, mi fortaleza.

Al compás de mi citara, nuevos cantos, Señor, he de decirte, pues tú das a los reyes la victoria y salvas a David, tu siervo humilde. R./ Bendito sea el Señor, mi fortaleza.

Evangelio

Lectura del santo evangelio según San Lucas 13,31-35

En aquel tiempo, se acercaron a Jesús unos fariseos y le dijeron: “Vete de aquí, porque Herodes quiere matarte”.

Él les contestó: “Vayan a decirle a ese zorro que seguiré expulsando demonios y haciendo curaciones hoy y mañana, y que al tercer día terminaré mi obra. Sin embargo, hoy, mañana y pasado mañana tengo que seguir mi camino, porque no conviene que un profeta muera fuera de Jerusalén.

¡Jerusalén, Jerusalén, que matas y apedreas a los profetas que Dios te envía! ¡Cuántas veces he querido reunir a tus hijos, como la gallina reúne a sus pollitos bajo las alas, pero tú no has querido!

Así pues, la casa de ustedes quedará abandonada. Yo les digo que no me volverán a ver hasta el día en que digan: ‘¡Bendito el que viene en el nombre del Señor!’ ”

Palabra del Señor

San Lucas 6:28 DHH94PC

[28] bendigan a quienes los maldicen, oren por quienes los insultan.

Vayan Juntos a una Misión

“Están firmes y unidos en un mismo espíritu y propósito, luchando juntos por la fe, es decir, la Buena Noticia”. Filipenses 1:27 (NTV)

Fuiste hecho para una misión. Dios quiere que compartas Su amor con otras personas —tus amigos, familiares y las personas con las que trabajas— que no pertenecen a su familia.

¿Por qué quiere que hagas esto?  Porque Dios quiere que todos en Su familia. Dios no creó a ninguna persona a la que no ame y para la cual no tenga un propósito. Dios nunca creó a una persona por la cual Jesús no haya muerto. Así que Dios quiere que compartamos esas Buenas Noticias.

Pero no estás solo. Dios quiere que vayas en misión con otras personas. Filipenses 1:27 dice, “Están firmes y unidos en un mismo espíritu y propósito, luchando juntos por la fe, es decir, la Buena Noticia” (NTV).

¿Cómo compartes con tus amigos que Dios los ama? ¿Y cómo lo haces en compañía  con otras personas? Lo haces a través de tu grupo pequeño.

Primero, oran juntos. Le pides a los miembros de tu grupo pequeño que oren por tus amigos que no tienen una relación con Dios. No puedes forzar a nadie a tener una relación con Dios, pero puedes orar por ellos. Tus amigos pueden rechazar tus argumentos o se pueden negar a escuchar tu lógica. Pero están indefensos contra tus oraciones. Van derecho a sus corazones.

La Biblia dice en Colosenses 4:3, “Oren también por nosotros, para que el Señor nos abra las puertas y prediquemos la palabra” (RVC).

Cuando oras por oportunidades, ¿sabes lo que pasa? ¡Comienzas a ver oportunidades por todas partes! La oración te pone alerta. Cuando comienzas a orar por tu familia, comienzas a ver las necesidades de tu familia. Cuando comienzas a orar por tus compañeros de trabajo, comienzas a preocuparte por ellos.

Y, al comenzar a conocer mejor a las personas que te rodean, comienzas a apelar por un mismo interés y creas oportunidades para compartir el Evangelio con ellos.

“Antes de compartir las Buenas Nuevas con otros, es importante establecer una relación con ellos. ¿Cuáles son sus experiencias comunes, intereses o necesidades? Habla con las personas de tu grupo pequeño sobre las cosas que les gusta hacer, y luego pregunta: ‘¿A quién conocemos que también disfrute esto y aún no sea creyente? ¿Quién puede invitarlo a acompañarnos?'”.

En la Iglesia de Saddleback hay un grupo pequeño donde todos son fanáticos del equipo de futbol de San Diego. Cada uno del grupo compró entradas para los partidos de este equipo en la temporada. Y juntos compraron dos entradas extras. Cada vez que van a un partido, invitan a dos personas nuevas a ir con ellos, y al final les dicen, “¿Lo disfrutaste? Este mismo grupo se junta los jueves en la noche en la casa de Bob. ¿Te gustaría acompañarnos?”.

Dios va a proveerte de oportunidades e ideas como éstas. Comienza a orar por ello en tu grupo pequeño, y abre tus ojos a las personas a tu alrededor con quienes puedes servir juntos.

Reflexiona sobre esto:

¿Cuáles son los beneficios de evangelizar en grupo?

¿Cómo pueden las personas reaccionar diferente al invitarlas a la iglesia o a un grupo pequeño cuando estás en un ambiente que es familiar y confortable para ellos?

¿Por quién en tu familia, amigos o compañeros de trabajo te está guiando a orar Dios? ¿Cómo puedes conocer mejor a esa o esas personas apelando a sus intereses en común?

📖 “MEMORIAS DE LA MAÑANA” 👀

✍️ Autor: Mario Zúñiga Lossio

💥 La publicación nos lleva de la mano a la comunión con la naturaleza y con los claroscuros de la condición humana, en el marco de espacios tradicionales o modernos. Y nos recuerda que uno es varios, diversos, múltiples, contradictorios y complementarios, alteridad que le dicen. Fácil es recordar como referentes a Machado, a Gelman, a Dalton, a Yamasato y al Wichy Nogueras en el paisaje hispanoamericano. Más aun a la impresionante galería pessoana y hablar de la persona y la máscara y de manera especial del esotérico Alexander Search. Pero debemos señalar que más allá de los heterónimos y los ortónimos hay un carbón encendido: una herida difícil de restañar, una memoria que rescatar y sanar con la palabra luminosa, el verso hondo, la imagen fulgurante. Ni Vilca ni Shareva ni Orens son seudónimos ni poetas anónimos, ni exóticos ejercicios vanos. Son una ardiente obsesión que se verbaliza, que se hace carne y deseo: un río melancólico que nos reconcilia con la especie humana. Todos ellos provocan, incitan, desafían a al autor para que transcriba y haga suyo, remontando el Marañón u orillando el Hudson, el oscuro esplendor de nuestra heterogeneidad existencial, encaramado sobre la oscurana en la que sobrevivimos.

🗣 Este no es un libro lúdico de poemas. Es un juego de espejos rotos que buscan su restitución en nosotros, sus gozosos pero dolidos cómplices. Y quien suscribe estas líneas no es más que una apagada versión de alguien que alguna tarde, entre el aroma de las pomarrosas y el filo de un cuchillo, consintió que lo llamaran, a veces, Hildebrando Pérez Grande.

Shapool: Yeah... this picture is what made my husband go caveman horny for me.

Hase and Jonouchi: Why do you have that? And a photo of you in the back?

Shapool: For a photoshoot. But not from the company I own. It was in Random's place. Plus, he helped me win the Civil War in my country. After that whole Civil War debacle, we went into town like crazy crazy. I couldn't walk for days on end until our first kid. Then we went in again, resulting in our 2nd, then again for our 3rd, and we're going again to probably have our final and 4th child.

Oren: You seriously know how to turn him on don't you?

Shapool: *all girly* Beeeach, you know it! That's why I'm one of his Queen's of Horny.

Hase and Jonouchi: He is even more flamboyant than you are, Oren-san.

Oren: I'm French flamboyant. He's girly girl flamboyant. And get back to managing my shop! While I chaperone your kids (AKA- My god kids) on their zoo trip.

Both: Yes, chef!

Duotale Cyan and Orange: Cowardice and Impatience

First context, UT Cyan and Orange and for names that will be in this post UT Cyan and Orange Cast. Now personal context I saw a post on twitter on why and how the green soul of kindness would commit genocide for a stand alone Undertale green, and this made question why the cyan and orange soul would for my hypothetical Undertale Cyan and Orange. Then it hit me Cyan becoming impatient with the situations and Orange being cowardly. 

So let me set the stage…

We leave the flower room and encounter Oren and Staug where we would Flowey. They try to teach us about the importance of teamwork before turning on us and are stopped by Toriel. The usual genocide shenanigans happens with Julien (Orange) and Kai (Cyan) blasting through the ruins. Now in UT Cyan and Orange pacifist we go to the Toriel’s home where Julien “kidnaps” Kai and takes them to the alternate exit of the ruins. In Genocide we go directly to the alternate route where Oren and Staug are waiting for us. 

They begin to apologize about being jerks and it had a negative influence on Kai and Julien so they took it out on the other monsters. We go into the battle menu and the textbox reads: Oren and Staug are asking for forgiveness. If you kill Oren then he turns to dust leaving a yarn ball while if you kill Staug then he turns to dust leaving his axe. For this post let’s say we kill Oren: We leave the battle menu and Staug picks up the yarn ball and looks at us and says “I’ll be happy when I see your body float down the river” before escaping out the door to Snowdin. Julien tries to go back probably to kill toriel, but is stopped by Kai, either out of sense of mercy or an impatient desire to move forward either the two leave out the ruin door.

We enter Snowdin forest and are immediately jump scared by a standee which is punched down by Julien and Kai laugh at them . This genocide has a somewhat branching path structure and  since we killed Oren then Tek leaves the bushes and says “At least someone appreciated our hard work that big guy who came out the ruins didn’t really care it and Tik had to go after him.” Awkward silence and then Tek leaves. Genocide shenanigans in the Snowdin forest ensue until we reach the branching maze paths Tik and Tek set up. In pacifist you chooses which way to and then you meet Tik/Tek and they congratulate you on making it to the end. In genocide you make it to the end and kill one of them. When we make it to the end of Snowdin the other twin greets Julien and Kai and asks where their other half went is as they just got order to evacuate Snowdin. We enter the battle menu and we attack them, but much like Sans they dodge, but don’t attack until the forth time we attack where we do land a hit on them and they go on the offensive. Now something of note is Tik and Tek have masks not anything special like Ceroba’s mask just stupid little halloween masks which they are attached to, so if we picked up the dusted twins mask then act to drop the mask in front of the other twin they will understand things faster and go on the offensive after that. Now back to the fight ending they get knocked down and we have the option to spare or kill. Obvi here we choose kill and as we press attack, bone spikes jut up in front of the twin not being able to totally protect breaking their mask in the process. The surviving twin let’s say Tik escapes and we exit the battle menu. Before we can proceed to waterfall a wall of bone spikes jut up from the ground. Lex End shows up and says you are not permitted any more carnage then leaves. Julien by order of Kai starts punching the wall of bone spikes repeatedly. Cut to Staug, Tik and Lex all hearing that commotion and wondering what to do. Lex suggest sending down a different path at least to divert from waterfall and hotland and that’s what they do. Cut back to Julien whose punched down all the bone spikes and we proceed to find Staug and taunts us like how Oren would before running down a different route. With no control or choice Julien and Kai chase after Staug ending up in Hudsee (an area similar to the Wild east, but Julien and Kai coded) 

So Genocide shenanigans ensue until we meet, this areas bosses. Now if Julien LV is higher than Kai then we encounter Mic and if Kai’s is higher then Coach and obvi this the actual fight as we take them down in one hit. The other one shows up and sees what we did and the actual fight which is Undyne the Undying level difficulty as they fight like dirty boxer even interrupting our turns sometimes. Before we can kill them, like usual they are able to escape, this time by Anansi. In pacifist we would be thrown down a hole where we would meet Anansi, but we skip it and go to hotland where we are greeted not by Neverdead, but Anansi and Lex End who are being screamed by a walkie talkie. They see us and toss the walkie talkie at us then make their escape.

So Genocide in Hotland ensues, until we meet Lex End with a bag at the end of it. He is for intensive purposes are penultimate boss. His goal isn’t to kill both of the humans, but weaken them so throughout the fight they whenever us or him gets low on hp he heals using items from shops we missed or taken from the dimensional box. The fight is over if either we damage him more than he can heal or he runs out of healing item. Either way they beg for mercy and we have a choice to either spare or kill. If we spare him then he kills Kai, causing Julien LV to rise and kill him and if we kill him then he counters with green attack killing Julien causing Kai’s Lv rise as he turns to dust. The soul of the dead one is taken by Anansi and we proceed to the Last Corridor where all the boss we didn’t kill are waiting for us. If we spared Lex then Anansi sits this fight out assuming the remaining human has some goodness in them. Either way this fight is technically a no win and even we manage to kill them all (the 3 bosses that escaped plus Anansi and Neverdead), Asgore kills the remaining human because their determination can only get them so far.
