Cheers! Thrilled to finally share the full page art I drew for @ygocookbookzine's fabulous second volume, celebrating sea life, aquarium-themed dining, and a VERY purple Shark-inspired cocktail 🦈🍹I had SO much fun with this, and jam packed this piece full of little Zexal references and Easter Eggs--can you spot 'em all? ;3c

Leftover sales for the zine are going on now, go take a peek!!

Some fun findings in my Barian Emperor deep dive

Zexal cannot for the life of them decide if they want Dumon to be Greek, English, French, or Norse. The folklore taxonimist part of my brain finds this inordinately funny.

They want SO bad for Nasch's empire to be some Mycenaean/Classical Era kingdom, but totally bungles it by having Dumon be there. This is also inordinately funny to me.

Squinting our eyes a little and giving the series a lot of creative license, Alito seems to be the oldest of the Barian emperors, then a huge gap of a couple centuries, and then the death order would logically go Mizar, then Marin, Vector, Nasch, Dumon, and finally, Girag.

Mizar, in his past life, carried around, and presumably knew how to use, a sword. I had completely forgotten about this.

Rio x male s/o headcanons

It’s no secret that Rio Kastle is incredibly popular with the boys at Heartland Academy.

Despite this, there’s only one boy that the blue haired girl is interested in, and that’s her close friend s/o, whom she met when they were both first year students.

“You’re new here too huh? My name’s s/o, what’s yours?”

He introduces himself and greets her with a friendly smile, which she returns.

“I’m Rio. Nice to meet you s/o.”

After their initial meeting, it didn’t take long for s/o and Rio to become friends, especially since he was one of the select few male students who wasn’t constantly fawning over her, much to her appreciation.

Being friends with Rio means it was inevitable for s/o to meet her brother Shark, who at first didn’t like the idea of his little sister hanging out with some boy, but after seeing how much the two care about each other, he eventually grew to like and accept s/o.

“You’re an ok guy s/o, but if you try anything funny with my sister I’ll make you regret it. Got that?”

“She’s my best friend Shark, I’d never do anything to hurt her. I promise you that.”

Hearing the seriousness in his words, the male water duelist cracks a smile.

“Good, because I’d hate for Rio to lose the only person willing to put up with her.”

The two chuckle at this and soon enough become friends as well.

As time passes, it becomes clear that Rio and s/o have started to see each other as more than friends, but before either could confess their feelings, tragedy strikes.

Rio is rushed to the hospital after a duel related accident, much to the horror of both Shark and s/o.

Tears fall from s/o’s eyes as he stares at his friend/crush, who is currently unconscious and lying in a hospital bed.

“Rio, I swear Shark and I will make whoever did this to you pay! Just please, don’t leave me.”

When the time finally comes that Rio awakens from her coma and is cleared to leave the hospital, she is quickly greeted by a relieved and emotional s/o.

“Shark told me the news! Rio, I’m so glad you’re ok!”

He proceeds to pull her into a tight embrace, causing the younger Kastle sibling to blush before she hugs back.

“Thank you s/o, I’m happy to be up and about too, especially because it means I can see you again. There’s something I wanted to tell you, but didn’t get the chance to. I don’t want to wait any longer, so here it is. S/o, I….I really like you.”

Knowing what she means, he looks at her with a big smile.

“I feel the same way Rio. So, are we like…a couple n-”

She cuts him off by pulling him into a kiss, thus marking the beginning of them indeed being a couple.

Despite dating each other, not much really changed between Rio and s/o due to how close they already were besides being more affectionate with each other.

Jealousy is pretty much exclusive to s/o, but only to the extent of him getting annoyed at how his male peers continually simp over his girlfriend.

“Ugh, they know we’re together, so why are they still drooling over you babe?”

“What can I say s/o? That’s the kind of thing guys like you have to deal with when their girlfriend is so pretty.”

She says with a giggle as s/o sighs.

“I guess, but just so you know Rio, pretty is an understatement. You’re absolutely gorgeous.”

This causes his girlfriend to smile and blush as the two leave school to go on a date.

Speaking of dates, they pretty much consist of the usual things young couples do like going to the movies, the carnival, etc.

However, since Rio and s/o are both duelists, their favorite way of spending time together is having a nice friendly duel, which usually ends up with Rio winning.

“I beat you again s/o. Better luck next time.”

She gloats as her boyfriend pouts.

“Hey! I’m getting better, so next time will be different!”

“Whatever you say babe.”

Being the superior duelist, Rio absolutely gives her boyfriend pointers and tutors him on how to better his dueling skills, which is something the two of them enjoy quite a lot.

“Thanks so much for mentioning me Rio. Honestly, I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

He tells his girlfriend as she smiles and wraps her arms around him.

“Hopefully you never have to find out. You’d be so lost without me.”

She says to him teasingly, both unaware of what’s soon to come.

Once Rio and Shark discover that they’re actually Barians and decide to join them, s/o is utterly heartbroken.

“N-no….why Rio? Why?”

Not long afterwards, s/o confronts Rio, who is one of the Seven Barian Emperors and now goes by Marin.

“R-Rio?! Why are you and Shark doing this?!”

He exclaims while looking at his girlfriend in her Barian form.

“I am no longer Rio. My name is Marin, and my brother is Nash. The girl you knew is gone s/o, but if you insist on challenging the Barians, then prepare to duel!

She tells him sternly, breaking s/o’s heart even more before he gains a look of determination and readies his duel disk.

“Fine then, but if I win….I want the old you back!”

Unfortunately, s/o stood no chance against Marin’s Chaos Number and is easily defeated, causing him to drop to his knees.

“I lost. Rio…I’m sorry.”

Before he is sent to Barian World, Marin transforms back into her human form and stares at him sadly.

“I love you s/o.”

She leans down and kisses him before he disappears, tears rolling down her cheeks once he does.

Once Astral uses the Numeron Code to bring everyone back, including the former Barian Emperors who are now human again, Rio and s/o continue their relationship as normal.

“After everything we’ve been through, I’m still glad to have you as my girlfriend. I love you Rio.”

“And I wouldn’t want anyone else as my boyfriend but you s/o, I love you too.”

The two look at each other lovingly and share a passionate kiss, both knowing they’ll always be together from that point forward.
