Cinderella Sanji makes so much sense

CinderSanjis mother dies and his father marries a horrible clown (Cesar) and his siblings are horrible to him. His father lets his siblings be mean to him and forces him to work as a servant in his home, leading to him meeting his fairy god father Zeff.

On the other side of the kingdom we have King Mihawk and King Shanks, with their sons Zoro and Luffy. They throw a birthday ball / celebration and Mihawk (being a nosy drama loving bitch) invites “all eligible nobles” to the party just to see his son squirm at the idea of dating.

Blah blah blah Cindersanji is told he can’t go because he’s more servant than actual nobility, Zeff gets the kitchen staff to work together to get Sanji spruced up and on his way to the ball.

Sanji gets to the party and goes to the balcony to avoid his family, but sees some asshole set his plate down with food left on it. He walks over and says typical sanji stuff (“hey fuckface, some people don’t have enough to eat in this god forsaken kingdom, you better eat the rest of that before I shove it down your throat”) and zoro is immediately smitten. Absolutely in love. He obviously fights back, their bickering is fun but suddenly this mysterious blond leaves without an explanation.

Second night of the celebration, Zoro is actively scanning the crowd for his mysterious mouthy blond. He spots him talking with some pink haired girl with the same stupid eyebrows and notices her pushing him to leave. He follows sanji to the gardens where Sanji is hiding from his siblings (thanks to reijus warning). They end up talking about all sorts of things, but it becomes pretty apparent that this blond guy doesn’t realize he’s been flirting/fighting with a prince. once again Sanji runs off without a goodbye.

On the last night, Zoro begs for his name and Sanji gives him the name Sora. They keep flirt bickering and Zoro is about to mention the whole “you do know I’m the prince right?” , but now it’s midnight. when sanji’s fleeing zoro catches his hand and accidentally pulls his glove off, with Sanji getting away but having to leave his glove (it’s leather and he has really long fingers, so don’t come at me saying gloves fit multiple people)

Blah blah zoro and Luffy go searching for the guy from the ball, see sanjis shitty siblings and they are (unlike traditional Cinderella prince) not that fucking dumb and recognize their faces as the face of the guy from the ball. He’s invited to have tea, with judge trying to get Zoro or Luffy to notice Reiju or maybe Ichiji.

Judge calls for Sanji to serve tea and BOOM, eye contact, sparks fly, because Sanji immediately is yelling “what the fuck you followed me to my home???” And zoros yelling “you’re so stupid, of course I came looking for you! I want to marry you, asshole!” Record scratch, silence, all hell breaks loose with yelling from pretty much everyone BUT Reiju and Luffy. Sanji, finally noticing Zoros outfit and the coat of arms on his clothes, realizes WHO he’s been talking to, is gonna leave because holy shit nope he is clearly hallucinating.

Luffy and Reiju tag team getting everything calmed down, stopping Sanji from running and keeping Zoro from stabbing one of the Vinsmoke boys. Something something Zoro confesses that he’s never felt so challenged and wants to get to know Sanji better, Sanji gets to leave his shitty home life and after a year of courtship they get married

Someone who is more talented take all this mumbled gunk and turn it into the fanfic I’m envisioning!!!!

New collaboration with Loft & Amnibus was announced for Digimon Adventure!

Details about exact merch will follow soon, but the tweet states that the concept was decided by keeping the idea of 25th Anniversary in focus but the art itself is flower + wedding outfit themed. The collab will start in June which is considered a good month for brides in Japan and so we see many wedding themed anime illustrations get released during this time every year.

Now it is time for another certified Ayushi breakdown 🫡

Taichi and Agumon are seen holding Edelweiss, with a pattern of the flower drawn beautifully on Taichi's shirt as well. Edelweiss in Japanese Language of Flowers (Hanakotoba) is meant to symbolise 'cherished memories/大切な思い出' and 'courage/勇気', while in Western Language of Flowers it's meant to symbolise 'noble courage' and 'daring' - both of which are apt for our best leader 🧡

Yamato and Gabumon are seen holding Alstroemeria (Lily of the Incas, Peruvian Lily), and while the flower motif is not drawn onto his clothes, Yamato's coat's breast pocket is decorated with the flower as well. In Hanakotoba, Alstroemeria is meant to symbolise 'persistence/持続' or 'longing for the future/未来への憧れ', while in Western Language of Flowers it's meant to symbolise 'friendship' and 'devotion'. All meanings are apt for him imo, but especially persistence and longing for the future are very representative of his arc from the first series till Kizuna.

Sora and Piyomon are seen with Pink Carnations, with the neckline of Sora's jumpsuit lined with a bunch of the flowers. I personally love the visual of Sora in this pink jumpsuit, it plays into her slightly tomboyish yet extremely gentle personality so well! In Hanakotoba carnations symbolise 'innocent and deep love/無垢で深い愛' and pink carnations specifically symbolise 'love of a woman/女性の' 'passionate love/熱愛' and "beautiful gesture/美しいしぐさ'. In Western Language of Flowers carnations symbolise 'fascination' and love'. All meanings are pretty accurate for Sora, but red carnations are used to symbolise Mother's love in Japan so it would've been nice if they threw in a mix of red and pink to hint at her relationship with her mother!

Koushiro and Tentomon are seen holding Violet Sage, which at first glance I thought was Lavender. The flower pattern is also visible on his waistcoat and bowtie, which ties together his outfit very nicely! In Hanakotoba, Sage seems to have many symbolisations, 'respect/尊敬', 'wisdom/知恵', 'good home/良い家庭', and 'family love/家族愛'. But Blue (Violet) Sage specifically signify respect and wisdom. In Western Language of Flowers, Sage symbolises 'esteem', 'wisdom' and 'domestic virtue'. Again, a perfect choice for Koushiro, I personally would prefer to believe that they picked this not because of his crest but because of 'good home' and 'family love' since that part of Koushiro's arc in the first series was probably the most impressionable aspect of his character.

Mimi and Palmon are seen holding baby's breath, with Mimi's dress covered in a pattern of it. Even keeping my bias towards Mimi aside, this is possibly one of the prettiest outfit of hers till date, it genuinely looks like she's about to walk down the aisle as a flower girl for a very happy couple! In Hanakotoba, Baby's Breath or Kasumisou, symbolises 'pure heart/清らかな心', 'innocence/無邪気', 'kindness/親切', and 'happiness/幸福'. In Western Language of Flowers it symbolises 'everlasting love', 'purity of heart', and 'innocence'. All meanings apply to Mimi to the T, but they're also very apt for the whole wedding theme of the merch which makes this particular outfit + flower choice my favourite from the lot.

Jou and Gomamon are seen holding Violets or Sumire. I honestly struggled to figure out the flower for a while, at first glance I thought it was Periwinkle but since that was not mentioned in the Hanakotoba reference anywhere, I searched other people's interpretations and settled with Violets. His tie also has a cute pattern of the flower, and it makes me wonder if Koushiro and Jou went shopping for their outfits together! In Hanakotoba, Sumire symbolise 'modesty/謙虚', 'sincerity/誠実', and 'small happiness/小さな幸せ'. Depending on the colour, the symbolism can change in Hanakotoba, and purple Violets specifically represent 'fidelity' along with 'love'. In Western Language of Flowers it symbolises 'modesty' and 'faithfulness'. This is as Jou as a flower can get lol.

Takeru and Patamon are seen with White Gerberas. Like Yamato, Takeru's outfit doesn't have a pattern of the flower, but the Gerberas themselves are pinned to his suspenders. In Hanakotoba, Gerbera symbolises 'hope/希望' and 'always moving forward/常に前進'. White Gerbera specifically are used to symbolise 'hope' and 'honesty/律儀'. In Western Language of Flowers it is meant to symbolise 'cheerfulness' and 'beauty'. All meanings are accurate for Takeru, no comment needed!

Hikari and Tailmon are seen with Sunflowers. I personally feel that Hikari's outfit is a little too much compared to the rest, just the sunflower belt would've been enough but they added that extra line at the hem and it's kind of an overdose. In Hanakotoba, Sunflowers symbolise 'I gaze only at you/私はあなただけを見つめる', 'adoration/愛慕', and 'worship/崇拝'. In Western Language of Flowers, it symbolises 'adoration' and 'false riches'. I understand that they wanted to go with a bright or perky flower for Hikari but something like a Pink Aster which symbolises patience or Cosmos which symbolises harmony, peace etc. might suit Hikari better given the overall theme of the illustration. The only miss in the otherwise perfectly depicted theme and art!

Thoughts on the teaser

Explorer's Club looking mf

Hey why the fuck is that one guy glowing white? Is that the guy who was trying to get through the portal when it closed? So he's stuck between the two worlds? Shit

Also why's he sitting in a chair while the others are standing very formally? Leader of the Forbidden Five?

I know they're all happy and don't know what's coming for them in this shot, but look at Arin

I'm assuming this is before he learns he won't be able to compete.

Also, Lloyd in the new master fit!

Can't tell one hundred percent, but that looks like the Matriarch without her crown. For some reason she's in the Kingdom of Madness (might be because she decided to move her herd in s1 ep2 and thought this was a safe place). And why does she look like she might be dying? Or at least not in a good condition. (Assuming this'll be in the episode 11)

Oh fuck Wyldfyre's face. Whatever happened can't be good. But I'm not sure if it has to do with Cinder having heat or some other event. Mainly because Wyldfyre very much is controlling heat right now.

Also, nice design on the back of her suit

WAKE UP NEW SORA WEAPON

(If I had a nickel for everytime a character with tech powers had a tech staff as their weapon I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice) (Yes I'm referencing Donnie from ROTTMNT)

Roby with the selfie wand! Not what I expected but I'm here for it.

And he seems to be having them doing a wave thing, as when he passes in front of the crowd they lift their arms up a bit and then put them back down.

I have no idea why they might be in the Administration, but I guess they are. (Also looks like this will be Episode 11)

Cinder in his sick ass outfit. Haven't even seen the whole thing and I can already confirm the minifigure does NOT do it justice at all.

Also (like everyone else) wondering how the hell he has Heat. Stole it from Wyldfyre using some weird Shatterspin magic? Maybe Jordana stole it using her dark magic for him? Or some other Tournament related thing that gave him said ability to take her powers.

Or maybe a new master of Amber? But 1) don't think the writers are going to just kill Skylor like that and 2) There's no way he would've been able to hold Ash's power for that long, even without broken Amber powers like Skylor likely did past Season 9

That's actually a really small dragon.

And Cole

No idea when this'll be (or who Lloyd's even fighting) but based on his outfit and the time of day, this is not one of the actual Tournament battles.

Maybe during these episodes in the actual battles Lloyd will wear the Tournament outfit, and then in scenes that are not Tournament events, he'll be wearing the master outfit. Which would put this scene at pretty much any point in the season except for Episode 11. And likely episode 20. Maybe

Or Lloyd will be wearing this outfit only at the beginning of the Tournament (likely only Episodes 12 and maybe 13) and then will wear the Tournament suit the rest of the season

WHAT DID JIRO AND ZANTH DO TO THEM TOT

They don't seem to have any people on their back?

Maybe it's illegal in the Tournament to use dragons? Or the guard dudes are just being bullies.

And why's that guy's gun got a clock on it

Ha. They deserved that for being mean to the dragons

So did that guy

Also there's some of the ninja. Can't tell who all of them are, but there is Wyldfyre for sure, and it looks like Maybe Zane and Geo? As well as whoever's wearing the brown color? I was going to guess Arin but the grapple makes it seem like it can't be him, so maybe Cole?

Maybe this is them trying to get to the Tournament and the Guard dudes intercept them

So it looks like those might be spectator outfits...

Also, Geo supporting his man!!!!! We love Geo! Look at his happy face!!!!

Wouldn't really explain why some of the apparent competitors are wearing them though

I'm thinking this may be the scene where Cinder somehow gets Wyldfyre's power. And/or Wyldfyre isn't having a fun time because this looks eerily similar to the fight in Episode 2 that resulting in her leg being shattered

Yeah. Very similar.

And Cinder's using his Shatterspin powers in this fight too. Shit

And he's smiling as usual too...

Except his eyes aren't red this time. Possibly he completely shattered his soul (as he said he was willing to do in Part 1's finale) and no longer needs the gong to access the Shatterspin powers?

Better look at the tech staff. I like it.

Though thinking about it now it might be specifically for this obstacle course thing Sora's been doing.

Looks like that might be Heatwave catching Lloyd? (Based on the claws and the fact that he caught Lloyd using his tail rather than some possibly more harmful or violent way such as the claws or mouth)

Also looks like this'll be episode 11. Maybe episode 12 prior to getting to the Tournament.

Saw someone else ask why the Source Dragon of Motion is glowing over the Monastery and honestly I have the same question.

Maybe this is supposed to be the end of Episode 20 after they free her?

Or earlier on in the season where she might be telling them to go to the Tournament of the Sources (as she and the others might be scared of Ras being able to get to them if his team wins the Tournament)

Also, that sure is a way to end a teaser /pos

Also, looking at the fact that it'll be October rather than earlier like I thought it would be, I'm thinking the date of release might be the 24th if following the previous patterns of release dates (Thursdays and multiples/factors of 4). But at the same time that feels very late, so it might actually be an earlier week like that of the 10th. Which will break the multiples/factors of 4 pattern, but it could happen.

Also, we did not see Nokt at all during this teaser, which is kinda odd. Maybe Ras is waiting until the right moment to use him in the Tournament?

[pippin-pippout]

Sanji had his magic anime girl transformation! Love that the raid suits also define the hair style.

Edit: omg yall I thought law being a fan of the in universe germa anime was complete fanon (given north blue origins it makes sense!) but no he actually recognizes Sanji’s outfit. Also I didn’t think 3 was featured in the germa thing? Also who the fuck invented it because they’re battling Sora aka his mom.

Edit 2: ok yall so Law was a true fan. He supported Sora and hated Germa 66 actually.

Thank god he didn’t go to whole cake can you imagine? Him and Bege’s #2? They’d kill each other. Law keeps explaining all the tech - this was DEFINITELY his special interest.

Also Sanji is yellow. Why is his name Black stealth? Glad he renamed it though Usopp has no right to judge “Soba Mask” given his “Soge king” phase.

Edit 3: ok so in the show they had Germa 3 on the show and he was Stealth Black, and yet Sanji didn’t know he could be invisible with this technology. And as soon as he gets it he’s like “peeping Tom dreams can finally be fulfilled- I mean I can protect my dreams.” Oda whyyyy!? Anything but that!

Also they show Law reading the book as a little kid with his sister. Law is several years older than him, so did the books/show come out when the four had only just been born? Am I thinking too hard about this?

Edit 4 last one: Law is sweating and shaking 😭😂 “STEALTH BLACK!” He can say what he wants about not supporting Germa but he has never cared about Sanji more than right now.

Dragons Rising Season 2 part 2 teaser breakdown

my thoughts and feelings regarding the DR s2 part 2 trailer. I have not watched any external analysis. this is pure unfiltered me

it might be a long one especially with pictures lol

ig? spoilers below

So we start off strong with Beatrix punching someone or something. Given the red landscape, I'm thinking it's Lloyd in his vision. So that's great. Very interesting that they keep bringing her up in the visions but we haven't seen her yet. Maybe she'll show up in the Tournament?

And may I just say that Source Dragon looks beautiful! Still in Lloyd's vision. The crown she's wearing is glowing and that might be significant. Could be showing her powers? Whatever those are. Fire or Motion would be my guess.

Lloyd has a little close-up shot with him looking pretty worried. Could be in the vision still and I'm guessing it is given the red shading around his face. So yay another confusing/angsty Lloyd vision! That's what we're here for!

We get a good look at the Tournament place! Idk if it's a palace or what. (again, haven't watched any other reviews.) But it's very big and colorful. The little TV in the background shows Lloyd doing something, probably fighting.

Whoever this guy is, ringing a bell. Could be the start/stop of fights, that would be my guess. No idea who that is but he'll likely be significant and say some lines.

KAIIII! Kai in the Netherspace! Still in his Climber Suit and I'm glad. We've seen people change outfits when they probably shouldn't have so I'm glad they didn't (yet) with Kai. He goes through an upside-door and walks into a room with at least three of the Forbidden Five! They're all facing to the right with their heads bowed. One of them is glowing and might be sitting on a chair or throne. There's no waaaaaay that'll EVER be significant (can ya hear the sarcasm??). I can't WAIT to see how they're gonna deal with him in there cause there's no way Kai won't get into a fight. I hope if he does it's to protect Bonzle. He's the big bro ever <3

GROUP SHOT! Wyldfyre looks tamer with her new hair lol. And Cole's back with the group YAS! LLOYD IN HIS MASTER OUTFIT FINALLY! And all the suits look so cool. Riyu in the back—I wonder if he's competing or what cause idk how they're gonna deal with a dragon who apparently has a lot of potential, given the Source Dragon of Energy last season. Also Arin and Sora being excited is so wholesome cause they're just kids. Meanwhile the others (minus Wyldfyre) have already been in a tournament...

Back in the Realm of Madness! But uhhh why is the Dragon Matriarch from Season 1 there?? And she looks injured. Reunion with her and Riyu. I hope she's okay.

Wylfyre being Wyldfyre...she might be defending someone given her expression and the wall of fire.

Sora killing it at the obstacle course (part of the fights maybe or training—not sure yet).

The same guy who let the Ninja into the Tournament is on a hover device holding a phone on a selfie stick, so I'm gonna guess he's the announcer for the fights or social media watching them.

Arin and Sora shot with the background doing that thing (idk what it's called lol) when they learn something shocking. Probably with epic music cause it's Ninjago. Without much context I have no idea what the revelation is but I sure can't wait to find out.

Cinder with...fire??? It looks like Wyldfyre's Heat. Idk. Is that was smoke is supposed to look like?? I don't remember that at all from last season. If he can use Heat then Fy is in trouble.

Sora racing through the undergrounds with a little dragon coming up beside her. I have to say it looks very cute. Not sure who it is or why Sora is down there but they could be helping each other escape or smth (idk if you all have a better idea lmk).

Master Lloyd (hehe) fighting someone at night. I'm hoping it's not part of the normal Tournament but it's getting caught doing smth at night cause that's more fun imo. In that whole sequence he's only playing defense—just blocking attacks—and not trying to land a hit of his own. It would be crazy if he's fighting Jay. That would give a reason for no offense. Also the attacker's outfit is new.

Jiro and Zanth fighting Imperium guards! They could be with Beatrix since Imperium stopped fighting dragons. I wouldn't be surprised if there were still guards loyal to the ex-empress.

GEO!!!!

We've been here before... Hopefully Fy has a better time (though she gets blasted back by Cinder using Shatterspin in the video soooo idk). If Cinder is using Shatterspin, the Gong of Shattering and a wolf mask are readily available for him.

Sora gets trapped by spears. She's got a new weapon too, more like a staff, glowing with her color. Did she make it? I hope so.

Lloyd gets snatched by a dragon. Still in his Climber Suit so probably ep 11 or 12. He's falling but it doesn't rly look like he's worried about it? More like a controlled glide. Also yeah that's Heatwave. So happy he's finally getting more screentime.

The Source Dragon of Motion! She looks awesome! ... That's the Monastery of Spinjitzu below. Holy Creation she is HUGE! I'm guessing this happens at the end of the season.

Sooo that's the teaser. I am so very normal about this.

I'm curious why they didn't add more of Kai in the Netherspace. It could be more of a secret thing like how they hid Jay so far in the series by not putting him in ANY trailers or promo clips. Lots of mystery surrounding him. PLEASE let him fight the Forbidden Five at some point!!

If anyone reading this has more information, please don't share it because I don't want spoilers other than what has been officially released by LEGO.

Ik it's not too in-depth for an analysis but hey it's all based purely on what's in the video so spoiler-free! Hopefully the paused moments help. It's so fast I had to rewatch at 0.25x speed TWICE.

Season 2 part 2 coming in October!

I should add a link. https://youtu.be/D494MQMV34k?feature=shared

GERMA 66 AND CYBORG 009

(this rant is so messy i started talking about humanity and sanji 😭)

okay so one person on tumblr (sangerie) briefly talked about germa 66 and the inspiration from cyborg 009, an older work that oda probabaly read growing up. today i dive into the depths of insanity and read all of cyborg 009’s ORIGINAL RUN (i do not recommend this) in order to find some possible inspiration that oda used for germa 66.

However i’ll probably only read 10 chapters at a time and then analyze some things.

Okay, so Cyborg 009 starts out with the organization black ghost kidnapping 9 people from all over and turning them into cyborgs. I’d like to mention the main villain/leader of this organization has a skull motif-

(and a cool cape)

and this COULD possibly be inspiration for the base design of the raid suits-

i may be reaching but the skull motif present in the belt of the suits and the cape might possibly tie back to the Black ghost organization’s leader???

moving on though, we get to the part of the story where people start getting abducted by the black ghost organization to become cyborgs. the first is 001, but i’d like to bring up 002. 002 goes on to have super speed, but id also like to bring up the hairstyle.

I MIGHT BE REACHING BUT-

The hairstyle MIGHT have inspired niji’s. also his personality is sort of similar to niji’s from what i’ve seen of the 2001 anime. ( which was the first 4 episodes 💀)

After several other kidnappings, we meet who is going to be cyborg 003, who’s kidnapped right in front of her brother who travels to try and find her. i’d also like to bring up the hairstyle for this one as well.

this one’s a BIT more obvious, but this hairstyle might have inspired reiju’s- we’ll probably never know if these were intended design choices, but let’s move on again.

In this next chapter, We get introduced to the powers of the first 8 cyborgs-

001 has an electronic brain

002 can fly to speeds up to mach 5

003 has heightened sensory acuity

004 has his whole body turned into a weapon

005 had armor grafted onto his skin which enhanced his strength

006 can shoot flames from his mouth and burrow through rock

007 can transform into anything

008 does well underwater and has makeshift gills.

now 005 is probably the one with the most in common to the standard germa powers judging from the durability (but that’s a common cyborg trope so idk)

But 004 is interesting as well.

if you look at the photo above, it resembles Yonji’s power (but without the “connectors”)

y’know that thing he can do with disconnecting his arms with the things ( i’m sorry i CANNOT explain this well) Although 004 does not have the things that connect yonji’s limbs still, they are very similar.

Next chapter- Cyborg 009 finally gets made and he is tested-

one thing about his outfit as well as all the other cyborg’s outfits ( which was brought up in sangerie’s post) is that is looks like sora’s outfit.

(the warrior of the sea not sora vinsmoke)

which i find interesting, is it possible that sora was made by germa??? idk. BUT IT COULD HAVE INSPIRED SORA VINSMOKE BEING PART OF GERMA AND ALL THE IRONY IN THAT-

(rant here but i hate 009 like he gets the coolest powers and i get it because he’s the most recent one, but at the same time he’s half japanese so its probably favoritism…)

After 009’s test, he meets the other 8 cyborgs, who immediately detain the scientists who experimented on them and in the beginning of next chapter, they start attacking the scientists 003 (the only girl cyborg) then says that they should not partake in the violence they were made for once the other cyborgs start attacking.

this may just be how all female characters are written but idk man this is giving me reiju vibes 🤷 they then take a scientist as hostage and take 009 with them. i know y’all are probably tired of me talking about hairstyles by now but 009’s kinda looks like yonji’s from the side- (if you’re delusional)

(now that I’m really lookin at it… it kinda looks like stealth b;ack hair but less complicated)

It turns out the scientist that was a hostage is actually allied with the cyborgs and his name is dr gilmore. He realized the work he was doing was inhumane and came up with a whole rebellion plan for the cyborgs.

Gilmore then helps the cyborgs hide out in a cave with him. the cyborgs make dinner and 009 learns their powers. during dinner, 009 talks to gilmore where gilmore states that- “..YOU ARE THE PINNACLE OF CYBER-HUMAN ACHIEVEMENT. MANIFEST IN YOU IS THE SUM OF OUR SUCCESS, VOID OF IMPERFECTIONS, A MASTERPIECE OF WAR TECHNOLOGY.” 009 then responds that he can’t do what [cyborgs] do, prompting this-

yes, gilmore is a good guy in this story but he STILL holds the core belief of the scientists that experimented on them. This whole talk is common in the cyborg scene yes, but it reminds me a lot of sanji who unlike his siblings, voices his awareness more often and doesn’t joke about such things as humanity, such as the scene where the siblings are laughing over their potential deaths (minus reiju but reiju also doesn’t fit into sanji’s place so she’s hard to place on the spectrum)

Humanity is talked about a lot in this chapter, specifically how much humanity can be taken away from you until you are truly a cyborg? or what lengths would people go to prove that they are the strongest nation?

The cyborgs soon get attacked by the black ghost organization trying to get them back. They send non human cyborgs out to defeat them and capture them, but of course our main group of the 9 cyborgs win.

Chapter 8 and 9 don’t have much, so it’s not too important BUT it’s mentioned that the leader of Black ghost MIGHT be a cyborg since he had accelerated (which is just moving really fast so it seems that time has stopped around you and only 009 has been revealed to be able to do this so far). Also in this chapter the cyborgs escape to japan.

In chapter 10, black ghost finds their cyborgs in japan and they’re doing good at fighting back But then Black ghost unleashes their new “weapon” on them-

Cyborg 0010. That’s a stupid name though so we’re just gonna stick with Cyborg 010. 010 has been sent to kill them all, however unlike the other 9 he does not view the other cyborgs as family, as he is stronger than them, and eve THEIR attacks don’t work on him. 010 also has acceleration like 009 because he’s better than them whatever whatever. turns out 010 is actually two cyborgs- plus and minus (y’know how electricity works with a negative and positive charge) they’re then defeated by 009 when he runs them into eachother, as positive and negative charges neutralize power and cyborgs need power.

What’s interesting is the after battle scene.

the two cyborgs who were 010 were brothers, and their last scene is them finally holding hands.

009 acknowledges this, and brings up its kinda fucked that the brothers couldn’t even touch or else they would die. now I AM REACHING BUT LISTEN!!! In the 2001 anime, (and in most adaptations) the 010 brothers have a red and blue color scheme, representing the negative and positive charges.

… NIJI has a blue color scheme possibly representing a NEGATIVE charge of electricity.

(idk what relevance this has but it’s a kinda cool fact I mean I could go into the ichiji and Niji dynamic and how I interpret it but hey I think this is long enough)

IMMEDIATELY AFTER We then get this new cyborg that’s non human looking called 0011 (i’m calling him 011)

it’s revealed he’s given the condition to defeat the cyborgs

so he can be returned to his true body -

of course cyborg 009 tries to use the power of friendship but he gets this response, different from 010’s response of violence towards the pleas-

he considers stopping, but realizes he has to look out for himself. NOW LISTEN I MIGHT BE REACHING AGAIN BUT CONSIDER- in germa the code is basically the weakest get left behind, so basically it’s just “look out for yourself” which is actually a common trope for cyborg characters, but i also find it interesting how after WCI in the germa cover story they defy this “look after for yourself” trope as it’s ichiji and reiju who go out for the other two against judge’s wishes, and it makes you wonder, yes the scientists had created monsters but who is truly the monster in this situation? going back to cyborg 011 he’s defeated pretty quickly and he says this-

Cyborg 009 is a series that truly encapsulates the tropes present in stories about cyborgs, and this one here is common, where it’s painful to live as someone experimented on, risking your own life as you believe it’s lost your value. But there’s more. 011 delivered this speech afterwards-

if you ignore the last two things that 011 says that alludes to the poison rain that’s currently raining down his speech reflects a possibility in the future of one piece. what am i referring to?

hey do you guys remember the death pact 😁

HEAR ME OUT HERE

it would be wonderful if we got to see a speech like this from a character who had been experimented on and could no longer feel (sanji possibly) anyways stopping my rant there before i start going off track, let me wrap up chapter 10 of cyborg 009.

Kingdom Hearts Tamagotchi Adventures

So, I got the Kingdom Hearts Tamagotchi for my birthday this year. and it was only in September that I decided to activate it (I was hesitant because I know Tamagotchi can be needy and can't be turned off). So here's my so-far roughly one month journey!

Here he is- Base Sora on day 1. I took care of him, played games, and generally fiddled about with what I could do. This was my first ever Tamagotchi, so it was a new experience to me. You fight Shadow Heartless, Dusk Nobodies and Flood Unversed occasionally with the tap of the 'A' button. They didn't happen super frequently so I was fine fending them off.

Unfortunately things didn't go well. I became ill with stomach flu the night after. The manual says it takes roughly 49 hours for Sora to change/evolve. and well...

When I was able to move again... I woke up to... uh... Heartless Sora. Everything remained the same, except the food and treat (Paopu and Icecream) turned into Heart and !. Heart being that you well- fed him hearts, and ! meaning he attacked you (I think... he vanished then appeared closer and waved his arms about). I felt really bad that my first Tamagotchi basically 'died' because of things I couldn't control. But I enjoyed my time with Heartless Sora; and after a few days, Kairi found him and saved him! Very cute 2 bit scene. Back to Normal Sora. I found an issue. You see... I'm more nocturnal; and this Tamagotchi... wasn't. He woke up at 9AM and slept at 10PM; meaning he didn't get the right care from me.. but I figured I could change the time to suit me- and did. Now he wakes up at 12PM and sleeps at 2AM- same as me. Next evo was a surprise! Sora introduced me to (and trusted me to care?) Riku!

This was when I found out each character/evo has different sleeping schedules. Riku would sleep late and wake late (I'm thankful it wasn't early due to the whole Dawn motif because I didn't want to change the clock too much again). They also have their own unique cutscenes, with Riku primarily featuring Mickey. Not much happened, and I showed Riku to Riku(My Riku... the cockatiel- named after... Riku). But He left and Sora returned. At this point I wanted to aim for Roxas- or Ventus (I'm sad there's no Vanitas). So I miiight have looked up a quick wiki to see how to get the characters. "Wow that's cheating" you might say.. and yeah- probably... the issue is that I didn't get Roxas.

Instead, Sora 'grew up' into KHII Sora. I was interested to see what kind of outfit or character I could get to show up, so I continued with normal care.

On the 28th of September... Sora.. ever the festive fellow...

Donned his Santa outfit.

I found it kinda funny, but kept him up with Normal care. I was starting to forget him (I got a little drawer handle I put him on during the evening on my right hand ride next to my monitor, and during the day he's on the couch arm- I don't take him out because I'm scared I'll lose the Tamagotchi somewhere). So He was getting upset/hungry; but if he beeped I knew he needed something. He Unlocked/locked the Keyhole to Halloween/Christmas Town, then flew off in the Gummiship, returning as Normal Sora. After 49 hours, he once again reintroduced me to Riku. having forbidden knowledge, I knew I could turn Riku into Dark Riku. and tried.

I. Felt. Awful.

I know they're just 2bit pixelart on the screen... but Riku has a special place in my heart (I named my grumpy, gay cockatiel after him!) so me... just basically neglecting Riku? it hurt :(

After this. He did not turn into Dark Riku. He left. just straight-up.

Sora flew back in on the Gummiship and my quest to get Roxas/Ventus continued.

But I was surprised when I came back after an outing to find... Sora turned into a fish

Wiki says he's from 'Bad care', but I don't remember giving him subpar treatment, and catering to what he wanted- so I'm baffled. He did come with an Aerial/Sebastian scene, though- so that was cute. He didn't stay for long and locked Atlantica's Keyhole, returning as Basic Sora.

Again- I tried to get Roxas, but instead got KHII Sora again; so I thought I could maybe get Axel or Xion; since they're included in the KHII evo list.

Nope. Christmas Sora again. Oh well- He does love Christmas.

I'll update this if I get anything interesting. I know you can get Xehanort- I recognised his Silhouette on the manual, so maybe I'll get him one day.

I'm still waiting on Roxas..

Dragons Rising E6-10 Thoughts

Here’s some thoughts on each episode in the latter half of Dragons Rising, Season 1 Part 1:

Return to Imperium:

The color grading of this opening seems off – almost as if it’s a flashback (it’s not, ofc)

JORDANA SPOTTED

The conveyor belts directing people where to go is so on the nose for an authoritarian society

“It's the perfect companion for anyone that might... be lonely” :(

“Unconventional? Perhaps you can forgive her” man this is seriously dystopian but also pretty funny

Sora in her S1 outfit without headphones is kinda cursed

“Ever since the Merge it’s been you and me” I AGREE ARIN. LET’S KEEP IT THAT WAY

Kai’s Wu impression is great

The Advanced Science Lab? Isn’t it the Advanced Systems Lab?

I HATE SORA’S PARENTS I HATE SORA’S PARENTS

The sewer smash cut is perfect. Beyond the Phantasm Cave implies that Sora actually traveled through the sewers before so at least she had a reason to assume there was no security

The public shaming platform? At least it’s not a two hour YouTube video essay documenting your every misdeed (which I will then watch)

This episode sold me on Sora’s character and is essential for her arc this season

Mindless Beasts:

Like the Rapton ad

The Arin chase scene is fun

I certainly hope nothing bad happens to the new shoulder pad store

The Imperium Teenage Protection Force all have shorter legs, meaning they’re probably slightly younger than Arin (or just short)

Every Wyldfyre line is gold: “If I was your enemy, why would I let you out of your cell?” “If you don’t know, how should I?”

Sora says her family was poisoned against her by LaRow— meaning she believes that her parents would have accepted her if not for LaRow. Ofc, we know later that once they see the truth, they don’t change their mind, so her rejection of them means even more

For a scientist, LaRow isn’t very smart (or lab skills =/= street skills)

“I’ve got a master teaching me all the things I’m doing wrong” Arin no he’s trying to help you

Percival talking about him is the first time Lord Ras is identified in front of Arin — before, he was just the “tiger guy”

Rapton has the perfect combination of incredible arrogance and thin skin

Dorama just wants to show off

Ras has such a deeper voice than in S2

The Hunted soundtrack!

LaRow just can’t stop gloating lol. Not sure how a Photac can capture a source dragon 

This episode is pretty important for Arin and Sora, and introduces Wyldfyre… but also isn’t super interesting

I Will Be the Danger:

Wyldfyre opening! Not what I was expecting when I originally watched but super cool. Not sure where she came from tho

The caregiver-bot helping Wyldfyre train is sweet. I wish she came back later (I know she does in a canon(?) novel and there was a deleted scene, but I wish it had been in the show)

Wyldfyre not knowing certain words is a clever detail that isn’t used often

Percival is so not convincing as an antagonist

JORDANA NAMED??

Considering the other empty holes in the portal gate room—are they supposed to link to other monasteries? Since the one Kai goes through links to the Imperium Monastary?

You probably are famous among ghosts Kai, considering the whole Morro thing

Poor Riyu

Thank you Sora, she really is weird— oh shoot Dorama! forgot about him

“I DON’T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORDS ‘SHUT UP’!” and then the one take after are pure Wyldfyre gold

The “ninja think Sora betrayed them” plot line could have gone somewhere but didn’t, and honestly I hate bad miscommunication plots so all good

Weird way to end

This episode peaks with the opening scene, and is generally fine outside

The Calm Inside:

Green eyes child Lloyd voiced by Sam Vincent is off putting. I get why they do this but whatever. The lighting/texturing in this scene (maybe bc of the rain) also makes Lloyd and Wu look super plasticy

Good lesson tho, and I’m glad it keeps coming up

Arin and Sora are a great duo

Melvin, remember, always do the bare minimum that gets you paid

And so the Empress joins the main plot

Super cool protective Lloyd is great, leaping down to pull Wyldfyre back from the Photac

What’s his “big plan” Beatrix? Why does Ras want Riyu? “You can’t [drain him] yet. My plan for—” no wait he was about to say it!

Ras is so mad at Beatrix omg

Kai and Nya have interacted more now than in any season post Hands of Time right?

So how did Arin trip? Tbf he punched himself in the face so makes sense

Ok the show just made the same joke after I wrote it, I guess I forgot

This sweat thing reminds me of the first Sam Raimi Spider-Man movie (the blood scene)

Lloyd being surrounded by chaos is overshadowed by the very strange design of imaginary Wu, but the scene leading up to Wu is so great. The music, the action, the direction— really stellar. Someone needs to let this guy take a break

Not Rapton’s unicorn figurines!

Excellent rhetorical comeback Lloyd

Ras is so cool -- singlehandedly fighting multiple dragons

Zane! But how did he end up in that pod?

Jordana! Sora is just totally lost lol

Do you think Kai, Nya, and Zane were planning on jumping out or was it spontaneous?

Lot of questions in this episode, and it would probably be better if they saved Lloyd hitting the targets for a flashback later in the episode (that is, end the first flashback before Wu gives Lloyd the lesson)

That being said it’s the best one since E6 and a good setup for the finale

The Battle of the Second Monastery:

Jordana getting insulted by LaRow (albeit indirectly) :(

This is probably very overwhelming for Zane

Everything seems particularly saturated in this scene 

The Jordana reveal is very good. Funny, but also kinda heartbreaking since Sora was just using her technology to give herself a friend

Lord Ras is not very nice (although he’s right how do you lose to two mostly-untrained teenagers who are in handcuffs)

Arin and Sora use Jordana swinging her sword to free themselves, just like Lloyd did in E2. Shows how far they’ve come (much better than when they fight Ras, which just diminishes him as an antagonist)

Ouch Lloyd, always look before you leap

“As opposed to those really strong gnats” I’d spend some more time workshopping those comebacks Arin

The Source Dragon scene is SO cool!

Sora beats Ras mostly though luck but the real question is why was he running so slowly

And so we finish the S1P1 aspect of Sora’s arc, although her conclusion of “having a responsibility to use her powers” is very similar to the end of E5

Sad Arin :( already made a post relating this scene to what happens in S2 but it takes on a whole new meaning knowing what happens after

Beatrix imprisoning Ras actually makes a ton of sense and I might make a whole post talking about why (and her character generally)

The Ras fight isn’t great - I get why it happens and Arin and Sora don’t really beat him physically, but it does undermine him as a threat. The rest of the episode is really good tho, especially the vision

Next up, the first half of S1P2!

You are Law's blorbo

Short, sfw fem!reader x trafalgar law

You read that right! YOU look exactly like a character from Law's favourite comic. A character he is absolutely into.

Like this one? Check out my masterist

Law has travelled with the straw hats and you for a little while now, first from Punk Hazard to Dress Rosa, now to Zou. You were neither unnerving nor absolutely insane, so he was very content with ignoring you - until one afternoon, when you sat on deck, reading. Your hair was bound in a high ponytail and you had your glasses on, wearing a casual outfit consisting of a shirt and trousers.

When he saw you he was surprised, shocked - excited? He couldn't place this feeling. Like a long gone memory that was just out of reach. It made him mad, like an itch he couldn't scratch. He went to bed agitated that night, settling in for an unpleasant night full of confusing dreams. When he woke up the next morning, there were only fragments left in his mind. You, with your glasses and ponytail talking to...Sora? Warrior of the sea? Something clicked. He remembered.

There had been a reporter that wrote about Sora's great adventures. She was hot. Law's face was burning now. The reporter...he had stared at the panels containing her for hours. She was beautiful, smart and fierce. His fictional crush, that looked exactly like you.

Breakfast was...hard. He wasn't sure anymore how to act around you, involuntarily staring. His mind was taken over by the childish fantasies he had when he was a boy.

He waited until everyone had scattered, to catch you alone. Luckily, you chose to wander around deck alone. Behind the trees, he caught you. It was like in his fantasies. He was a bad pirate with a huge bounty, she was more of a scholar than a fighter. In his head, he would catch her, and while in his grasp, they would fall in love. Enemies to lovers.

His heart raced as he caught up and with a swift movement, blocked your way with his arm.

You

After breakfast, all you wanted was some piece and quiet, and you hoped you would find it in the shadow of the tangerines.

Lost in your thoughts, you didn't notice anyone following you - until you heard steps. And incredibly fast, he moved in front of you, crashing his hand into the wood of the ship, stopping you dead in your tracks. Reflexively, you wanted to step back, but his other hand appeared just as quickly. You turned to face him. A wicked grin spread across his face.

"Finally, I caught you" you heard his deep voice whisper. "Has anyone ever told you how irresistible you are" he continued and licked his lips. He didn't leave time for you to answer - his hand pulled your chin up. Moving closer, he kissed you very softly and drew back with a happy sigh. You felt his hands on you, gliding over every curve, greedily staring. Holding you, cupping your ass, he kissed you again, kissed a trail down your neck and over your collarbone, moaning happily.

Eventually, his mouth moved back to your ear to whisper: "I have some things I want to do to you..."

I bet little Law has a lot of dirty fantasies for his blorbo 😏

Now that you've read the whole thing, let me know in comments and reblogs what you thought! I am always happy to read from you!

[an-au-blog]

We've all seen Sora take the kids and marry Zeff or leaving Zeff custody of Sanji but hear me out: Sora doesn't die and is the one to break Sanji out of the dungeon and escapes with him. They're in some no name town in the East Blue and Sanji sneaks on to Mihawk's little coffin boat to loot him and take it back to his mom and gets caught. Mihawk walks him back to Sora who apologizes profusely and Mihawk can see that shes ill and that they're clearly out of their depth and for whatever reason, his mind cannot fathom it honestly, he offers to take the Kuraigana with him. Sora and Sanji agree too, for whatever reason, maybe they're scared because they know who he is, or they're just that desperate. Either way they agree and leave with him.

They make a supply stop a couple islands away because Mihawk realizes they have nothing except a shared back pack of clothes and that's it. Sanji is trying not to hide behind his mom from Mihawk but he's a kid who's been through a lot and Mihawk reminds him of his brothers and Judge. Mihawk gets them a few outfits and picks up some more food because of how thin they both are. When they check into an inn and Sanji's asleep Sora finds Mihawk and thanks him and says she had to save her son.

Not even a month after they're all settled in his home Mihawk finds himself extremely endeared to this duo and hopes they never leave, it takes him another three to say it and Sora cries happily and Sanji nods. Sora has taken over most of the cleaning and Sanji cooks with Mihawk a lot and Sora has improved greatly. The dynamic isnt perfect by any means but it works for them. Sometimes Sanji's nightmares will wake Mihawk up before they wake him up so Mihawk will sit with him until they do or he calms down. Sora knows a lot about caring for weapons and instruments so she'll tune the piano or clean his antique swords.

Woops Mihawk is in love and suddenly has a wife and child he didn't think he would and Newgate is going to laugh at him. Doesn't even necessarily think of the implications or anything just tells them at dinner over their plates. They don't leave until Sanji decides to go work at Baratie when he's a teen and then joins the straw hat crew. Life goes on. Everyone thinks Sanji's an orphan still since he doesn't talk about his parents. His parents read the paper.

When Perona appears Sora confirms it's not her pink haired daughter but she'll take another. And then look! Zoro's here, Sanji's nakama and the kid Mihawk almost killed, how charming. Zoro's really confused because Mihawk in the castle is different from the master training him and he's a lot softer and kind towards Sora. Sora asks them both about their adventures in pirating and such.

Zoro asks point blank if she's Sanji's mom and she laughs and mentions how that's so Sanji to not talk about them and Mihawk mentions how smart that is because otherwise oops, they're either down a son or Mihawk's bounty is unfrozen. Sora jokes that need two more to make up for the other two she has and Mihawk tells her that they cannot keep collecting kids.

Zoro is absolutely gonna kick Sanji's ass.

That's a whole-ass fix right there, damn! I actually love any au where Sora doesn't die, I don't wanna see her go ngl hahaha ':)

And I genuinely think she can melt almost anyone's heart. But have you thought about the Sanji repressions??? He's already canonically bitchy but now he'll have all the sass from Mihawk as well????? I think that'd be absolutely hilarious!

Plus that would mean that Mihawk was going to the Baratie to check in on his son, that's so cute omg :') And that could also be an excuse for why he didn't kill Sanji's "new friend" during his fight with Zoro.

Also why do I feel like Mihawk would try his damned best to make Sanji call him father instead of dad and Sanji would do it just to spite him.

Sanji: thanks for uh... you know... not killing my new crewmates

Mihawk: I guess it couldn't be helped

Sanji: Whatever, bye dad

Mihawk absolutely not having the heart to correct him at this point:... yeah.

Also Sora adopting Perona during ts makes me so happy. She would brush and braid her hair thinking if she'll ever have the chance to do it with her biological daughter. So that only makes her want to savour every moment with Perona while she can. And I think Perona would love Sora as well, she loves cute and pretty things so they'd make a great dynamic just absolutely driving Mihawk up the wall by redecorating... or as he calls it "ruining the aesthetic" or his castle.

Also... for the haha's: Sanji knowing way yoo much about swords would confused the hell out of Zoro. Not to mention that once Zoro finds out about his connection to Mihawk, I feel like he'd want to fight him even more than he already does. Bonus if Sanji is actually a really skilled swordman.

If the Disney characters actually got to be important in Kingdom Hearts: Part 2

Hey there folks! I'm back again with a continuation of my previous post "If the Disney characters actually got to be important in Kingdom Hearts: Part 1"

If you want to check that out first, here's the link to it below.

For this second part, we'll be focusing on Kingdom Hearts II given that it's a much bigger game than the previous two and I have a little more to talk about for this one.

All the elements I mentioned in the previous post for the versions of KH1 and Chain of Memories apply here as well and while story is mostly the same, there will be some notable changes.

So with that being said, let's get this started!

Note: So I actually just found out that Wendy wasn't one of the Princesses of Heart. So I guess in this AU, Peter would be just tagging along for vibes like Tarzan and Jack.

I also forgot to mention the looks of Abu, Zero and Tinker Bell in the last post, who would all be obviously accompanying the heroes on their journey.

As for what they would look like.

In Wonderland, they would be wearing Victorian attire.

In Olympus Coliseum, Abu would be a weasel, Zero would be a ghostly Molossian hound, and Tinker Bell would be a nymph.

In Deep Jungle; Abu would be a patas monkey, Zero would be a ghostly Basenji dog, and Tinker Bell would be an Aziza (which were a race of fairies from West African folklore).

In Agrabah; Zero would be a ghostly Canaan dog and Tinker Bell would be a mini Parī (a supernatural enitiy from Persian folklore that's pretty similar to a fairy).

In Halloween Town, Abu would be a golden Shiva monkey statue and Tinker Bell would be a ghost like Peter.

In Atlantica; Abu would an octopus, Zero would a ghostly sea lion, and Tinker Bell would like a mini mer-fairy of sorts.

And in Neverland, Abu would pretty much be the same except naked and Zero would also be the same as well.

The Mysterious Tower:

For our second world, we see our first real major story change.

Upon arriving to The Mysterious Tower, our trio are not only greeted by Yen Sid, but also an old friend.

And who's that friend you may ask?

Yep! Tarzan is back!

Through Yen Sid, we find out that the trio's Disney friends have been frequently checking in with Yen Sid over the past year to see if they've returned yet.

I think this little reveal would really help show just how strong the friendship between these guys are in this version of the series.

And with that reveal, you can already expect Tarzan being over-joyed seeing his friends again after a whole year.

As you probably could tell by now, Tarzan will be joining the trio on their new adventure.

As for how he fights, he'll still be fighting with his trusty spear, slashing and wacking enemies with it.

Though similar to Aladdin, he's depicted as being more faster and agile in his fighting style than in the first game.

Plus he can use jungle herbs to perform Cure like in KH1.

Tarzan's Limit would be Jungle Fury.

The Limit would start with Lasso, where Tarzan pulls out a vine and lassoes it to something above. Then he grabs Sora and the two start swinging together.

The next part would be Swing Sync, which has Sora and Tarzan attacking enemies with kicks while swinging around.

The final part would be Simian Slam, which has Sora and Tarzan jumping from the vine and landing on the ground, delivering a powerful shockwave by slamming it with their Keyblade and spear respectively.

He'll also be sporting a new look too!

Tarzan's new outfit would be pulled right from this piece of fanart done by DNLnamek01.

Back in the 2007, the dude did a series of fanart depicting various Disney characters (some already in Kingdom Hearts and others not yet) as Keyblade Wielders, complete with outfits similar to the original characters of Kingdom Hearts and the iconic Disney trio.

I really loved the looks he gave to the Disney characters and can I honestly imagine this is what they would look like if the series was allowed to go all-out with them.

Anyway, but before our trio meet up with their old friend, they run into an enemy....two in fact.

These enemies being Pete (of course) and, believe or not, Clayton.

Yeah! Clayton is back!

As for how, this is where things get interested.

Essentially, between KH I and II, Pete found that the power of the Heartless can be used to bring people back from the dead.

One of his earliest attempts with this newfound trick was in Deep Jungle, where he ended up reviving Clayton.

But not only that, but this revival essentially changed Clayton as well.

As it turns out, Heartless resurrection can actually turn those that it was used on into half-Heartless beings.

Not only that, but they also get new powers and abilities (often relating something about the individual before they died).

As for Clayton, his hunting skills have been enhanced to incredible levels.

This is largely thanks to him now possessing superhuman physicality (strength, speed and endurance) and his senses begin akin to that of an animal.

He also fights with a pair of machetes and several bolas.

This is what he looks like now.

I can't figure out who did this drawing, but I really like how Clayton looks here.

If Clayton was turned into a more powerful and deadly version of himself, this is exactly how I'd imagine him looking.

You can also tell that his outfit not only greatly emphasize his status as a hunter, but also draws heavy inspiration from Kraven the Hunter.

Essentially, Pete and Clayton's plan is to reform the Council of Disney Villains, by resurrecting the original members (who are all dead.....except for Hades) and by recruiting new members (like Clayton).

And with how Clayton turned out, the duo figured that the Council would be even more powerful than before.

And by working together just like in the last game, no one would be able to beat them this time!

Yeah, this sounds pretty insane.

But let's be real, this Kingdom Hearts! It's basically the Regular Show of video games!

They're both convoluted, overly-ridiculous insanity....and that's why people love them so much.

And besides, you can't tell me this concept doesn't sound remotely cool.

And also, Pete and Clayton would definitely make a really fun duo.

Pete being his usual bumbling self and Clayton being the straight man through all this.

Radiant Garden:

Nothing really to note about this world, except that there would be few more characters than initially featured.

Most notably Archimedes (returning from this AU's KH I) and Arthur (also from The Sword in the Stone).

Speaking of Arthur, this game takes place after the events of the film, so he's already the king of England.

But despite that, Merlin still tutors Arthur and is helping learn how to be a good king.

Arthur has also befriended the rest of the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee.

The most notable being Yuffie and Leon.

I'd imagine that Yuffie would see Arthur like a little brother (often teasing him) and Leon's been training Arthur in the way of the sword so he can one day wield Excalibur like a true king.

And although they're already in the original game, in this version; Huey, Dewey and Louie would be presented as new proteges under the tutelage of Merlin, as they want to follow in Donald's footsteps and become mages.

Also, we'd actually get to see Donald interacting with his nephews for once!

The Land of Dragons:

Layout-wise, this world is largely the same as in the original.

And in terms of characters, we would see the addition of Cri-Kee and Chi-Fu, the emperor's bitch-ass advisor.

As for NPCs, we would see more soldiers of Li Shang's army, civilians in the Imperial Square, and even some animals including pandas, golden pheasants, water deers, red pandas, golden snub-nosed monkeys, crested ibises, takins, bats and giant salamanders.

As for world-specific enemies, it would be the soldiers of The Hun Army.

As for the character looks, excluding Mulan obviously...

Sora, Tarzan, Aladdin and Ariel would be wearing ancient Chinese civilian clothing.

Abu would be a snub-nosed monkey.

Zero would a ghostly Chow Chow dog.

Beast would be a xiezhi, which is a creature of a Chinese mythology.

(if you want to know more about it, Google is your friend)

Jack Sparrow would be dressed as like a ancient Chinese bandit, something along the lines of Heishan Bandits.

Donald and Jack Skellington would be dressed as wus, which were what shamans were known as back in ancient China.

Simba would be a tiger.

Goofy and Max would be dressed like ancient Chinese soldiers, not much different from Shang and his army

And Tron would be a living terracotta statue.

As for the story, it's largely the same as in the original game....until the second visit.

The story for the second visit would also be about Pete, Clayton and the newly-revived Maleficent resurrecting Shan Yu and recruiting into the Council

Speaking of Maleficent, now being a half-Heartless, she can now naturally manipulate magic without the use of her staff, making her even more powerful than before.

She can also morph parts of her body in dragon form, and when in her dragon form, can emit powerful fire and lightning from her body.

As for her new appearance, she would look something like this....

As for their looks in this world....

Maleficent would be dressed as a wu, Pete would be dressed as a bandit like Sparrow, and Clayton would be dressed as an archer.

But going back to Shan Yu, in addition to now possessing superhuman strength and endurance, has the ability to duplicate himself, essentially making him a literal one-man army!

As for his new look....

But other than that, the story does largely play out the same (with addition of Shan Yu aiding Storm Rider) and ends with Mulan and Mushu joining our heroes to stop The Organization and The Council of Villains.

Beast's Castle:

Layout-wise, this world is largely the same.

The same can be said for the characters as well....with one exception, which we'll get to soon.

As for the character looks, minus Beast of course....

Sora, Donald, Goofy, Tarzan, Mulan, Max, Sparrow, Ariel, Aladdin and Skellington would be wearing 18th century French attire.

Abu would be a polecat.

Zero would a ghostly poodle.

Simba would be a lynx.

Mushu would still be a dragon, but would obviously have a more Western look.

And Tron would be a living bronze statue.

As for the story, it's mostly the same but with one key exception.

Xaldin wouldn't be the villain of this world, at least for the first visit.

Instead, his role would be given to....

Yep! Gaston would actually be present in this world like he was suppose to!

Oh yeah. For those who don't know, Gaston was originally intended to be in KH2 but was replaced with Xaldin.

This was because Richard White (Gaston's voice actor) wasn't available at the time.

Basically, he'll be doing the exact same thing Xaldin does during the first visit.

As for why. Essentially, he's doing it for The Organization, who told him that by making Beast look bad, Belle would end up falling for him instead.

But Gaston will meet his temporary demise after Shadow Stalker is defeated, who causes a chandelier to land on him.

For the second visit, Xaldin does step in and the story largely plays out the same.

Though he would be accompanied by Gaston.

Speaking of Gaston, he would be resurrected by The Council of Villains (who would all be wearing 18th century French attire, with Hayabusa being a kite).

As for his new look....

And in terms of what he can do, he's pretty much like Clayton, with his physicality being enhanced to superhuman levels and his hunting prowess being stronger than ever before.

He also fights with his makeshift club from the film and whole lot of throwing knives.

In the boss fight against him and Xaldin, Gaston is fast and powerful, attacking with punches, kicks, charges, club swings, slams and knife throws.

However, he does have one trick up his sleeve that differentiates him from Clayton.

When enraged enough, he's able to transform into a powerful Heartless beast.

This beast would be none other than Enraged Elk from Kingdom Hearts X.

You'll be fighting this form after you defeat Xaldin.

As for what it came do, it fights the same way Gaston does, but its attacks are far stronger and do more damage.

After defeating him, Gaston is whisked away in a cloud of darkness by the other Villains.

And so, our story here ends with Beast joining our heroes to ensure that The Organization, The Villains, or Gaston never dare to come to his castle ever again.

Olympus Coliseum:

Not a whole lot to say for this world.

It's essentially the same both layout, character, and story-wise.

The only difference would be that Pain and Panic would actually talk and interact with the other characters.

Also, there would a sub-plot about The Villains trying to recruit Hades back into their group, which he was no interest in.

As for the characters looks....

We already know what Sora, Donald, Goofy, Tarzan, Aladdin, Abu, Ariel, Skellington, Zero and Beast look like in this world.

Mulan and Max would be in Greek soldier attire like Goofy.

Sparrow would be dressed like the pirates commonly found on the ancient Mediterranean.

Tron would be a living marble statue.

And Simba....would actually be the same as he usually is.

Disney Castle and Timeless River:

Not a whole lot to say for these worlds either.

They're the same in just about every way.

But there is one major difference.

You'll have a party member originating from the former world.

You all probably noticed that I frequently someone by the name of Max in this post.

And that's because Max Goof himself would actually be appearing in this version of the series and he'll be the party member joining you in Disney Castle.

This is what he'll look like....

As for how he fights...

That was always a tricky thing to come up with.

I want him to be somewhat similar to his father's fighting style, but not an exact copy.

So essentially Max will be fighting with a sword and shield.

He'll slash at enemies with his sword, and bashing and hit them from afar with his shield.

He'll also slide on his shield like Goofy, but he'll be doing fighting tricks while doing so.

Max's Limit would be Daredevil.

The Limit would start with Alley Oop, where Sora hops on Max's shield and he pushes it, causing it to start sliding all over the place, with Max immediately jumping on right after.

The next part would Daring Duel, where he and Sora repeatedly deliver slashing whirlwinds with their sword and Keyblade respectively at enemies they slide towards.

The final part would be Bombardment, where the duo launch themselves into the air, and Sora then grabs Max, spin him around, and throw him to the ground below, unleashing a mighty shockwave in the process.

As for Max's status in the KH universe, he's one of the Royal Knights.

Yeah, it's pretty easy to forgot that Goofy is canonically the Captain of the Royal Knights of Disney Castle.

That's probably because we have yet to even see them.

So I figured in this version of series, since they can go all out on the crossover aspect, the Royal Knights would actually appear.

Characterization-wise, Max is what you would expect from him.

But there is one unique trait about him.

While he can get a little embarrassed by him, Max actually looks up to his dad and wants to follow in footsteps.

That's a trait rarely seen in most other iterations of the character.

As for his age, Max would be a teenager, about a year younger than Sora.

But during the story of Disney Castle, we'll also meet a few other members of the Royal Knights include Max's buddies PJ and Bobby, and his girlfriend Roxanne.

They would help our heroes with defending the Cornerstone from Maleficent and Pete, who would be accompanied by Clayton, Shan Yu and Gaston this time.

Also, there would a gag where when Pete and PJ run into each other, they have this sense of deja vu, as if they know each other from somewhere.

You know that scene from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia where after finding out that Frank's one-night stand from 30 years ago was with his mom, Charlie slowly realizes that Frank could possibly be his real father.

Yeah it would be like that.

As for the character looks...

In Disney Castle, everyone pretty much looks the same as usually do.

But in Timeless River, as you would already expect, everyone would look like they right out of a classic black-and-white cartoon from the 1930s.

Though in the case of Mulan and Aladdin, without the racist caricatures.

Plus, you can't tell them you wouldn't kill to see Max in the classic Disney shorts style.

I swear he'd look like a Mini-Me of Goofy....more so than he already does.

Atlantica:

Now we've come to undoubtedly the most infamous world in the game.

KH2's Atlantica is generally regarded as one of the worst worlds in the entire series.

This is largely because in contrast to the other worlds, you don't get to really explore the world itself of fight any enemies.

Instead, you stuck playing a dancing game for the entire time.

Which wouldn't be all that bad if it was all the world was.

But for this AU, Atlantica would be receiving a major overhaul.

First off, let's talk about the layout of the world.

The world would be split into two regions.

The first region is Atlantica itself, which consists of all the areas seen in the first game.

The second region is Eric's Kingdom, which would include the areas such as The Castle, The Beach, The Marketplace, The Town Square, The Countryside, The Lagoon and The Wedding Ship.

In terms of characters, we would see the addition of all six of Ariel's sisters, Grimsby, and Max.

As for NPCs and world-specific enemies, it's essentially the same as it was in the first game.

But in Eric's Kingdom, you can expect to see a lot of civilians walking about and a couple of animals such as ducks, flamingos, cranes, pelicans, swallows, crickets, frogs, and fireflies.

For the characters looks, similar to what Halloween Town does in this game, the characters will receive two different looks in this world (one while in Atlantica, one while in Eric's Kingdom).

For Atlantica; we already know how Sora, Donald, Goofy, Tarzan, Aladdin, Abu, Skellington, Zero and Beast would look like.

But for the others:

Mulan would be a mermaid.

Mushu would be a tiny sea serpent.

Max would be a sea turtle like his dad.

Sparrow would be a joining Skellington as a skeletal pirate.

Simba would be joining Beast as a sea lion.

And Tron would be a living figurehead (those wooden mast carvings you commonly see on ships).

As for their looks in Eric's Kingdom:

Just about everyone would be wearing sailor attire commonly found during the 19th century.

Sparrow and Skellington would be still rocking the pirate look.

Abu would be a polecat again.

Mushu would be a snake.

Beast would be a brown bear.

Simba would be a lynx again.

And Tron would still be a figurehead.

As for the story, it's essentially the same as in the original game, but split in half, since just like all the other worlds, this one will have two visits.

The first visit is would see our heroes helping out Ariel. Just like in the original game and in her film, she desires to see the surface world, which has frequently brought her into conflict with King Triton.

But recently, Ariel discovered a magic recipe that can actually turn her into a human.

And so, our heroes find themselves on a scavenger hunt across Atlantica to the find the ingredients for this potion.

Speaking of Ariel, as you probably guess from how often I mentioned her in this post, she'll actually be a party member this time.

Just like in the first game, she's a mage party member, primarily attacking enemies with magic.

Just like with Donald, her magic has been juiced up.

She can use special potions are able to cast Fire (while on land), Blizzard, Thunder and Cure.

But when she runs out of MP, she'll attack enemies with spins, tail swipes (both only underwater) shoulder bag swings (while on land) that go in every kind of direction you can think of. Downward while in mid-air, uppercut, spiral, etc.

Her Limit is Raging Water (which she can only do on land and in the other worlds).

The Limit starts with Tidal Wave, where Ariel throws down a potion on the ground, which causes a massive wave to form beneath her and Sora.

The next part would be Waverider, which the duo ride on the wave, knocking down any enemies in their way.

While that's going on, Sora would perform Soak Shoot, where he shoots water at enemies with his Keyblade.

And finally, the Limit would end with Ocean's Rage, where after performing a backflip of sorts, the wave crashes down and washes away all enemies across the battlefield.

But back to the story, after getting everything they need, our heroes find out that the last ingredient is voice of the person who desires to become a human.

And thus, just like the movie, Ariel gives her voice for it to work.

As you would expect, Ariel is turned into a human, our heroes rush her to the surface, and she meets Eric, who, like in the movie, takes her into his home to help her out.

And the first visit would end on a cliffhanger of sorts, as we would see The Council of Villains arriving at Ursula's Lair.

As for their looks in this world.

Maleficent, Clayton, Shan Yu and Gaston would all be merpeople.

And Pete would be.....wait for it....

A CATFISH!

Okay, moving on....

For the second visit, we see our heroes (along with Flounder and Sebastian) trying to help the currently mute Ariel and Eric get together, which isn't gonna be easy with The Heartless running around.

By the way, the dancing segments will still be in the game, but they wouldn't be taking up the whole world this time.

However, we would see the removal of the goodbye song.

Instead, taking its place, would be "Kiss the Girl".

But just as it seems like the two teens are about get together, a new girl (bitch) named Vanessa appears and has Eric completely smitten.

And after hearing that they're gonna get married, Ariel is heartbroken and our heroes are left shocked.

However, they soon find out that something suspicious is going on here.

Thanks to Donald and Mushu, our heroes find out that Eric is under a spell and assume that Vanessa is the one responsible for it.

This eventually leads to our heroes crashing the wedding and exposing Vanessa for what she did.

And after breaking Eric from his spell, Vanessa reveals her true identity as none other than Ursula, who as you expect, was revived by The Council.

As for her new look....

As for what she can do now, Ursula possesses the ability to shapeshift and she can use it in various ways. From changing her appearance to look like someone else (i.e. Vanessa), stretching her limbs (specifically her tentacles) to incredible lengths, and even being able to grow to incredible heights and sizes. And just like Maleficent, she can also naturally manipulate magic as well.

And soon enough, a boss fight erupts.

Yes, you heard me right. A boss fight.

You actually get to fight Ursula normally like the other villains in this game.

The setting for the boss is on the wrecked remains of the Wedding Ship in the middle of the ocean.

Just like in the movie, Ursula turns into a giant and uses her magic to conjure up a mighty storm.

Ursula attacks with swings from her tentacles, dark energy blasts from her hands, water sprouts she conjures up from under you, and bolts of Thunder she summons.

The coolest thing about this boss fight would be the ways you can attack Ursula.

You can attack her gut from the shipwreck.

Climb up her body and attack her ugly face.

And even head into the water below (going into your underwater form in the process), tie up her tentacles with a command, and attack them while their tied.

Anyway, after you defeat Ursula (with Eric stepping in to deliver the final blow), she's whisked away via a dark cloud by the Villains.

And so, our story ends with Ariel and Eric confirming their love for each other and Ariel joining our heroes for some payback.

Port Royal:

Layout-wise, this world is largely the same.

As for characters, we would see the addition of Gibbs, Anamaria, Governor Weatherby Swann, Cotton, and Pintel and Ragetti.

As for NPCs, we would see plenty of civilians walking about Port Royal and a few tropical birds flying about.

As for world-specific enemies, we would have a lot more undead pirates.

As for the character looks, minus Sparrow....

Sora, Donald and Goofy would be receiving the looks they got in The Caribbean about 14 years earlier in this AU.

Just about all other non-animal members of the team would be wearing pirate attire as well.

Zero would pretty much be the same as he usually is.

Abu would be a capuchin monkey.

Mushu would still be a tiny sea serpent.

Beast would a giant howler monkey.

Simba would be a jaguar.

And Tron would still be a figurehead.

As for the story, it's largely the same until we get to the second visit.

After Barbossa died, he was revived by the Villains (who all be wearing pirate attire in this world) and decides to work with Luxord.

As for his new looks....he would be rocking the skeleton look that he had when he was under The Curse of the Aztec Gold.

As for what he can do now, just like when he was cursed, Barbossa is a skeleton that's nearly invulnerable.

But that's not all.

He can also control people by manipulating the blood in their bodies and create constructs out of blood.

Yeah, I made Barbossa into a fucking bloodbender!

Anyway, you would fight this Barbossa along Grim Reaper.

He would definitely be one of the harder bosses of the game, since he would be able to pick you up and throw you around.

He'll also attack with a blood cutlass, blood throwing knives, and blood cannons.

But anyway, after you defeat Barbossa, like the other villains, he'll be whisked away in a dark cloud and Jack decides to join our heroes to settle the score with him once and for all.

Agrabah:

Layout-wise, there a few changes.

The world would be split into four regions.

The first region is Agrabah itself, which would consist of the areas seen in the first game.

The second region is The Palace, which consists of the areas from the first game as well

The third region is The Cave of Wonders, which consists of the areas seen in the OG KH2.

And the fourth region is The Desert, which consists of The Sandswept Ruins and Ruined Chamber, and a few more areas such as The Oasis and The Canyon.

As for characters, it brings back the same roster from the first game.

As for NPCs, we have the same selection from the first game as well, with the addition of a few more animals like elephants and falcons.

As for world-specific enemies, it would include the same batch from the first game, with the new addition of bandits, vultures and jackals.

As for the character looks, except Aladdin and Abu....

We already know what Sora, Donald, Goofy, Tarzan, Ariel, Skellington, Zero and Beast are gonna look like.

But for the others:

Mulan and Max would be dressed as royal guards like Goofy.

Mushu would be a viper.

Sparrow would be dressed like an Arabian desert bandit.

Tron would a living golden Shiva statue.

And Simba....would pretty much look the same as he usually does.

As for the story, it's largely the same but with some notable alternations.

During the first visit, The Council of Villains would all be there to retrieve Jafar's lamp so they can free him.

As for their looks, they would all be wearing villainous Arabic attire.

Maleficent and Ursula would be dressed like viziers similar to Jafar.

And the rest would be dressed like bandits.

Anyway, in contrast to the original game, Jafar actually does get released from his lamp and you get to fight him during your first visit.

The boss fight is largely the same as it was in the original game, but with a few differences.

-You'll be accompanied by Aladdin and a party member of your choice for this fight, riding alongside you on The Magic Carpet.

-The Palace would have two massive pits full of elemental substances on each side. One being full of lava, and the other being full of icy water that'll freeze anything that comes even within an inch of it.

-Jafar will also attack with Blizzaga.

After you defeat Jafar, Iago grabs Jafar's lamp and throws it into the lava pit, killing him in the process.

And the story ends with The Council of Villains secretly reviving Jafar.

For the second visit, Aladdin and his pals have become a bit paranoid as they've been seeing Jafar popping up in random places despite being dead.

Soon enough, they get the word from Iago, The Sultan and Razoul that Jasmine has been kidnapped.

All the kidnapper left was a note saying that she's being held captive at The Sandswept Ruins.

This would led our heroes on a treacherous trek through The Desert and its areas.

Once they reach the Ruins, they find Jasmine, who reveals that she was kidnapped by Jafar.

As for his new look....

As for what he can do now, just like Maleficent and Ursula, Jafar can naturally manipulate magic.

He primarily specializes in casting illusions and tricks, and also special element breaths as well.

Anyway, Jafar eventually reveals himself to our heroes and reveals that he kidnapped Jasmine in order to lure them all here so can have his revenge.

This would led to another boss fight against Jafar.

But in contrast to the first one, this one has you fight him in his giant cobra form!

He attacks with bites, charges, tail swipes, and even coil squeezes.

He also has a free tricks up his sleeves as well.

These include his elemental breaths (which come in Firaga, Blizzaga and Thundaga), slamming the ground and causing waves of pierce out of the ground, and even duplicating himself.

After defeating Jafar, you all know the drill by know.

Jafar is whisked away by the Villains and Aladdin joins our heroes for another adventure to stop him for good.

Halloween Town/Christmas Town:

Layout-wise, this world is largely the same.

As for characters, the selection is also the same as well.

As for NPCs, also the same....for Halloween Town at least.

In Christmas Town, we would some elves, reindeer and snowmen walking about.

As for world-specific enemies, same as the first game.

Now for the looks of our heroes, minus Skellington and Zero obviously.....

We already now what Sora, Donald and Goofy were gonna look like in both regions.

For the characters who have already been to Halloween Town:

Tarzan would be a yeti.

Aladdin would be an elf.

Abu would be one of those cymbal-banging toy monkeys.

Ariel would be a ballerina.

And Beast would be a polar bear.

As for the others:

Mulan would a be ghost in HT, and a toy soldier in CT.

Mushu would still be a dragon in HT, and a stuffed toy dragon in CT.

Max would be a Frankenstein's monster and a reindeer like his dad.

Jack would be a skeletal pirate in HT, and an living iceman ala Jack Frost of sorts in CT.

Simba would be a zombified lion in HT, and a stuffed toy lion in CT.

And Tron would be a robotic monstrosity in HT, and a nutcracker in CT.

As for the story, it's largely the same except during the first visit.

Since the first visit is centered on Oogie Boogie being revived, he'll be getting his new look right away.

Speaking of that new look, this is what he looks like...

(Yeah I know this was a redesign of his design from Disney Mirrorverse, but I think it could work for this universe as well)

As for what he can do now, he primarily moves around on what could be best described as a roulette wheel with spider legs.

In addition to using that to attack his enemies, he also a variety of gambling-themed weapons. This includes explosive dice, sharp poker cards that operate like throwing knives, and a roulette wheel launcher.

As for his boss fight, he attacks you with all those weapons.

On a unrelated note real quick, for the looks of The Council, they would actually look largely the same since their new looks do perfectly fit into the spooky theming of Halloween Town.

Once he's defeated, you know the deal.

But despite that, Oogie does still play a part in the second visit, as he's the one who sends Lock, Shock and Barrel to steal Jack's presents and The Experiment, the latter of which he pilots himself during the boss fight.

After defeating him again, he retreats back to the Council and Skellington decides to join our heroes to ensure he doesn't ruin anymore holidays.

Pride Lands:

Layout-wise, largely the same.

As for character selection, we would see the addition of Zazu.

In terms of NPCs, we would have a few more lions and lionesses walking about at Pride Rock.

As for world-specific enemies, we would have hyenas.

As for the character looks, except Simba....

We already know what Sora, Donald and Goofy are gonna look like.

Tarzan would be a gorilla.

Aladdin would be a mongoose.

Abu would be a vervet monkey.

Ariel would be a crocodile.

Skellington would be a giraffe.

Zero would be a ghostly wild dog.

Beast would be a huge lion.

Mulan would be a monitor lizard.

Mushu would be a gecko.

Max would be a tortoise like his dad.

Sparrow would be a jackal.

And Tron would be a chimpanzee.

As for The Council.....

We already know what Pete's gonna look like.

Maleficent would be a giant monitor lizard.

Clayton would be a leopard.

Shan Yu would be a rhinoceros

Gaston would be a cape buffalo.

Barbossa would be a vulture.

Ursula would be a hippopotamus.

Jafar would be a big cobra.

And Oogie would be an elephant.

As for the story, it's largely the same until we get to the second visit.

Near the end of the story, Scar's ghost (who was awakened by The Council earlier) finally resurrects himself!

As for his new looks.....

As for what he can do now.

In addition to being much stronger and faster than the average lion, Scar also possesses control over the very earth beneath his feet. He's also able to manipulate fire as well, which when mixed with his earth control, enables him to control lava.

You'll be fighting this new Scar alongside Groundshaker.

He attacks with claw slashes, bites, fire-shooting roars, brief earthquakes that can temporarily stun our heroes, and lava spouts that shoot out of the ground.

After you beat him, just like with the other villains and their respective nemesis, rinse and repeat.

Space Paranoids:

I have very little to say for this world.

It's essentially the same in everyway.

The only difference would be in the case of the story, which would see Sark getting whisked away by the villains after you defeat him during the second visit

Speaking of Sark, he doesn't have any of sort of new look and essentially is able to what he did during his boss fight now.

As for the characters looks, except Tron....

We all know how Sora, Donald and Goofy are gonna look in this world, so their friends will be rocking the look as well.

The World That Never Was:

Here we are! The final part of this entire post !

Although the story is largely the same here, there would be a brief sub-plot. Essentially, the Disney allies found out that The Council are here in this world, plotting to take control of the Kingdom Hearts when The Organization least expect it.

So the Disney allies decided to split off from our trio to handle The Council while they handle The Organization.

This would led to the series of boss battles where you actually get to play as each of the Disney allies in 1-on-1 battle against their respective nemesis.

Ass for how that plays out.

They have the same standard mechanics that Sora does.

As for how they fight.

The Attack Command allows you to use their standard attacks.

The Magic Command allows you to use their special, MP-costly attacks.

And The Drive Command allows you to perform each character's Limit.

The final boss of this sub-plot would be against Maleficent, with your primary character being Max while your two party members are of your own choice.

After defeating all the villains, they retreat (except for Barbossa, who just dies), vowing that they will be back soon and that they will have the Kingdom Hearts.

And that's the last we see of the Disney allies until the epilogue, where they reunite with the trio and the others on Destiny Islands.

So that was part 2 of the "If the Disney characters got to be important in Kingdom Hearts series"....series

This took a lot out of me to do, given how much bigger Kingdom Hearts II was in both content and story.

And I really had to make sure that the overall story was largely the same, while still keeping the Disney characters relatively important.

Anyway, I hope you guys liked this idea for an alternate KHII, and if you could, send me some ideas to implement for the other games!

ninjago characters i dislike/hate and why

☆ s2-7 lloyd

HIS GODDAMN FACE DUDE

i just physically CAN'T with his weird ass smile and his ugly haircut, it makes him so detestable (and looks like donald trump tbh)

also idk i get the fact that he's the main character and all but the way each season somehow managed to always revolve around him was pretty annoying, especially for 7 years old me whose favorite character was jay (bless season 6)

plus his vOICE?? like i know they kept his childish voice bc of the fact that his body grew faster in that one dinosaur episode but it was still unbearable

i like his new design tho! and i think his character is much more enjoyable in the most recent seasons!!

☆ s6 nya

okay i know i'm making myself lots of enemies with this one but i just can't help it

tbh i think the whole "nya is part of the team although she's a girl" was so SO great and much needed because she, indeed, isn't just "the girl ninja" and appeared to be very useful since the beginning of the show!!

however, it felt soooo forced at some point, like when she refuses to simply grabs jay's hand?? girl just take his goddamn hand it won't kill you and it doesn't mean your his gf

i know it was kind of on purpose but it just projects a ridiculous image of modern feminism, as if "feminists were too dumb and too much of dramaqueens to the point it puts ppl who just wanted to help in delicate situations" like..

☆ nice garmadon

his evil/oni ver is everything to me, but why does becoming nice prevents you from being hilarious like you used to be..

his outfit ate tho

☆ sora, arin and kai 2.0

okay first of all i'm not a huge fan of dr, but i keep watching since i crave ninjas content and i need to see pixal's comeback

those three are SO annoying i sigh everytime they get screen time, especially sora bc istg if they chose to not bring pixal back because of the fact that this b!tch is basically doing her job (less effectively ofc 😒) imma throw hands.

(this was me having beef with a lego fictional teenage girl btw)

☆ misako

i think the whole fandom gon agree with me but she is a shitty mother

wdym you left your baby???????? garmadon did too tbh but it wasn't really his fault so like.. it's ok i guess 😒 but misako? no excuse at all. if you wanted to do your stupid research you could've taken lloyd with you or at least visited him from time to time.

theres probably more but idk 🌺

bye? 🤨

[ashxketchum]

Besties we got new Digimon Adventure merch art!!!

After sort of a dry spell in since April due to all the collabs actually getting their proper run in cafes/stores etc, there is finally some excitement for the 25th Anniversary celebrations again (tbh they should've announced this on the livestream smh smh) . The theme this time is "marine" and it's a nice follow up to the Digimon Tamers merch that was announced about a month ago.

The vibe of being part of a crew is coming off really well through the outfit design, but the key point is the pins of their crest and the type of hat that the kid is wearing. If you look closely, Koushiro, Takeru among the boys are not wearing the officer style hat but berets and their pins are missing as well, similarly for Hikari her beret hat is differently style than the other girls with the missing pin. Koushiro and Takeru are also not wearing ties like the other boys but the sailor knot, which leads me to believe that this is a reference to the their roles on the ship, implying that Koushiro, Hikari and Takeru still lack a designation.

When we look at the other kids, the difference in roles becomes much clearer.

While Taichi greets us with a perfect salute, Yamato takes the helm. A very interesting take where Taichi (as the Captain?) sets direction and Yamato ensures that they follow his desired path. Tbvh I could write a whole essay about why this specific depiction of their roles is so groundbreaking, but for now I'll just end on how whenever they're depicted as a team, the sense of equilibrium between the two of them is never lost.

PS: I also love Agumon's little lop sided hat, he is trying his best to support Taichi and that's just adorable.

Next we have Sora and Mimi and again the detailing in their positions to their actual roles in the show is very visible. Sora is on lookout duty, keeping watch against any unchartered occurrences, making sure that the crew can be alerted before disaster falls. Mimi on the other hand, is most likely the stewardess, and is keeping the morale up with her cheers and support! Love the little crests flags she is waving, and the groupings of the crest is definitely interesting 🫣 Jou with the map of their course is very apt as well, in the show we see him attempting to find his footing as the voice of reason between Taichi and Yamato arguing many times, so now he's here making sure that the two stick the job they have been given, ready to correct the course if any tensions rise.

Koushiro, Hikari and Takeru are for me the most interesting of the lot for the reasons pointed out earlier. While the other kids are portrayed as taking some sort of role on the ship, these three seem to be enjoying their times as cadets (in training?). Especially Takeru and Hikari, who are the youngest, are having fun playing around with their partners. Koushiro on the other hand, definitely wants to contribute in some way, and maybe the best way Taichi and Yamato could get him to stop tailing them was to put him on fishing duty lol.

All in all, this is a great piece of illustration, I'm glad we got some more new outfits! If someone has a more in depth understanding of how things work on a cruise ship or similar, please share your thoughts and let me know how you interpret the roles here!
