Some Tee headcanons

Before the headcanons begin, meet Shokuri (she is important)

She was originally gonna be named "Aku" (no relation to the character from Samurai Jack), but "aku" just means "evil" in Japanese, nothing else. So Shokuri it is (from "shoku, meaning "eclipse"). Her design was a bit based on Dark Marle.

Also, most of the characters seen in Puyo western release for Windows-DOS and Mac, Qwirks, do exist in my headcanon version of the Tetris world, which is why Feefle is here (Feegleiz the family pet, even though Shokuri owned it before taking in Tee).

Anyway to headcanons-

Shokuri was at the receiving end of a doorstep baby when she first met and took in Tee. (His biological older sister was the one who placed the basket and he was only a day old at least).

She had no idea where he came from and didn't have anyone who would take him so she ended up being the one to take initiative. She was rather bitter about it at first, but the kid grew on her.

The flying disc he uses as a weapon was a gift from his biological parents that was placed in a box in his basket. Its original condition upon being gifted was "battle-worn, but still rather usable", but then Ex noticed the condition of the disc during their first battle and refurbished it when Tee joined the Tetra Crew.

Shokuri taught Tee the basics of Tetris and how to convert the energy released by line clears into spells. When he became part of the Tetra Crew, he trained with Ess and Ai to learn some of the more advanced stuff (including how spins work) as well as how to play quicker.

Tee was always smart. Like, his child self could easily put two and two together if he's seen a pattern a couple of times.

He didn't just mature in a day. Tee saw and got the opportunity to battle Ex when he was 9 or 10 and lost the battle. It's canonically known that before the battle with Ex, Tee was cocky and had a huge ego. After losing (back to headcanon), his ego dropped, but he was still a bit cocky and hot-headed. He only became less cocky with subsequent losses, but still kept the hot-headedness.

This only changed almost a month after he finally won a match against Ex (back then, Tee was 12), when the latter had to take on the role of Keeper of Dimensions. To say having a 12-year-old in charge of an entire ship is kind of a bad idea, but the rest of the crew couldn't exactly be able to be captain to varying degrees (the amnesia that set in a day after Ex left didn't help). He wasn't in the right mind to lead either, but took the responsibility because someone needed to lead. He had to wise up beyond his years just so he can lead without too much issue.

The way I see Tee's relationship with Ringo is this: they aren't romantically involved due to the age gap (Ringo in my hc is 15 and Tee is 18-ish), but they are close friends.

His hair isn't dyed. Lavender is his natural hair color (the same could be said for all but one of his crewmates (his human ones btw) and their hair colors, as well as Ex having gray hair).

Even after the events of the first PuyoTet when the Tetra Crew met Ex again after all these years, Tee still has no idea how he met O. He never really saw or noticed him until sometime early on in his leadership, yet he still doesn't remember it (it's been years).

Tee actually has the third largest amount of psychic potential, with Ai being second. Jay and Elle beat them both by a wide margin.

Also worth noting, everyone originating from the Tetris world in my headcanon has psychic power that mimics the appearance and power of magic, rather than true magic like in the Puyo world.

I should have drawn baby Tee in the illustration a bit bigger...

alrighty I. finally gathered my courage and gave a proper listen to all the dub voices in puyo puyo tetris from this video. so now here’s a big old post of my analyses/thoughts on each character’s dub voice, normal and alt, with varying degrees of seriousness, for the sole reason that I had absolutely nothing better to do with my time

DISCLAIMER THINGY:if anyone cares enough to read this please read it with the understanding that my intent to buy and enjoy this game has not changed because of these voices. I did this purely for fun/out of boredom and while my opinions are somewhat strong, I don’t want them to affect anyone else’s interest in getting the game and enjoying it. these are only my thoughts and I’m just doing this to gush and also vent kinda.

okay here we go

overall: in general so many of these voices sound… foreign to me, ironic as that is. it’s simply because of the differences between spoken english and spoken japanese and the fact that I’ve grown accustomed to the japanese voices over almost four long years. no matter what, it’s gonna take a while to adjust to hearing these characters speaking english, most of them for the first time ever. to me, many of the english vas don’t sound as “into it” as the japanese vas, which is understandable because the jp vas have much more experience and practice voicing these characters. overall though? I think most of them did a pretty great job! and I’m sure if more puyo games get localized, the english vas will get a feel for the characters which will lead to them sounding more natural. let us cross our fingers and Hope!!

now for thoughts on individual voices. buckle up kids

Ringo:she sounds a lot more tomboyish and in-your-face than I expected, but honestly I kinda like that? she does sound a little bland and plain compared to the jp va, but to be fair it’s hard to compete with idol seiyuu goddess asami imai. I feel like I’ll warm up to this voice relatively quickly though~ Alt Ringo:Not really anything noteworthy? she sounds a lot more “aw yeah” and spunky though, which is cute! I like it a lot

Risukuma: I like his english voice a lot because while his jp va sounded eccentric in a creepy way, his en va sounds eccentric in a charming “cool dad” way, like the kind of cool mentor who’s probably very dangerous to hang around but you don’t care cause he’s just so cool. either way the “pedobear” vibes are not nearly as strong in his english voice which I am immensely thankful for Alt Risukuma: ounds like a guy who’s reading a storybook to small children and trying to put on a “gruff bear” voice to really invest them in it. it sounds strange but it’s oddly entertaining and kind of adorable

Schezo: my biggest issue with his english va is that it just sounds kind of… Flat? it just doesn’t have that Oomph or that Zeal that the japanese va had. but as I said that’s understandable because of the difference in experience, so it’s not too bad. the voice fits him very well, a good shounen swordsman voice. that’s enough to satisfy me. Alt Schezo: the most smug sarcastic self-satisfied asshole I have ever heard and I absolutely love it. this is a man who knows he has 5000+ followers on tumblr because of his “edgy” posts and because of that believes he is a paragon of sensibility and right-ness.

O:Bibibiii. Sounds pretty much the same as the japanese voice, only without the japanese inflection or accent. not much to say honestly? but it sounds nice. Alt O: I like the english alt way more than the japanese alt because it actually did something different. whO ANGERED THE CHEESE SPHERE THEY BETTER BOOK A FLIGHT OUTTA THIS UNIVERSE

Maguro: I was expecting a more P4 Yosuke-esque voice for maguro so the voice they actually gave him was a little surprising to me? but I actually like this one a lot more than I thought I would! it really plays him up as a playful carefree guy who doesn’t take life too serious and is just out to have fun. it’s a really good voice for him and I love it a lot Alt Maguro: he sounds!! like one of those stereotypical smooth-talking radio host dudes!! and it’s the greatest thing ever!! this is my number one favorite alt voice by far, it’s genius?? “You’re tuning into Smooth Jazz Hour with the S-man, kick up a chair, relax with some of Suzuran’s hottest jazz hits and add some Pizzazz to your evening~★”

Tee: stereotypical shounen anime protagonist voice at its finest. I’m honestly glad they chose a male va to voice him because that kind of voice more accurately reflects his character and sounds better for him in english than an english-speaking female voice would have sounded. if that makes sense Alt Tee: I really didn’t notice anything “different” about his alt voice at all? the inflections and such are different but otherwise the two voices sound pretty similar. they just sound like two different takes of the same lines basically…

Amitie: Flawless VA choice! I’m 99% sure christine cabanos is voicing her and a better match could not have been made, she has the peppy naive eager-to-help magical girl vibe that suits her perfectly!! I’ve honestly started liking her en va more than her jp va, and she’s the only returning fever 1 character whose puyotet va I may actually prefer over her old fever 1 va (though that still fluctuates quite a bit because fever 1 is too dear to my heart) Alt Amitie: Fanciful British Amitie!! I love her!! it’s really amusing and adorable to hear her try to sound “refined” and fail miserably. it just makes her even cuter and her ditziness more endearing, this is probably up there on my Favorite Alts chart, though there are others coming up that have her beat

Feli: she sounds a little bit older than I expected but I think the va pulled off her creepy, vaguely threatening tone of voice exceedingly well. I’m a little disappointed that they didn’t give her stocking’s va if only to play on her similar appearance, but all in all her voice is pretty good. Alt Feli: Rebellious Teenage Wangst Factory Yeah!! Shut up Mom!! You don’t Control Me!! I didn’t Ask to be Born!! I’m gonna Curse you and everyone else I hate cause I hate Everyone!! Lemres is the only one who understands my Brooding, Broken Inner Soul!! Everyone I know is so Lame and Embarrassing!! I Hate My Life!! (it’s beautiful)

Ai: let me say Thank You VA People For Getting A VA That Can Do A Convincing Dog Imitation. that was one of my biggest worries with this dub tbh, and I’m glad to hear that his dog whimpering is as beautiful in english as it is in japanese. the voice itself is also quite nice, not quite as effeminate but still pleasant to listen to. Alt Ai: you know when people make fun of their mom or wife or some other female/effeminate authority figure by imitating them in a shrill gravelly falsetto to make them sound as annoying and antagonistic as possible? this voice is essentially that. it’s funny but it also grates on my ears if I listen to it for too long

Ess: again she’s way older-sounding than I anticipated? though the voice is not bad, I do think it’s a little unfitting for her childish, bratty personality. I wish it had been just a little higher-pitched? however it still carries the tone of spoiled entitlement that is essentially her brand, which is great. plus she’s still cute as heck, so it’s all good in my book! Alt Ess: Basically normal Ess if you subtract the spoiled entitled daddy’s girl and substitute it with cool confident action girl. I like it cause it’s almost like character development! she grew up and abandoned her spoiled ways, and now she’s on the road to becoming a mature, honest and learned adult!

Klug: it makes me sad to get this negative after so much optimism, but oh boy. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I cannot stand the voice they gave him. I had to mute my volume halfway through his spells because I just. can’t? nothing about his voice or his personality in the jp version supports the idea that he would sound like this? even ignoring the voice not fitting him at all, it’s generally just exhausting and stress-inducing to listen to. I’m happy if others can find something to like in it but I just. can’t? suketoudara, the dancing mascot fish, sounds less like a caricature than klug does and that in itself is unacceptable to me Alt Klug: I still don’t really like the choice of va, but this is a much less grating and more reasonable style of speaking for him. this is what normal klug should have sounded like. in fact, why isn’t this his normal voice? who decided to make the voice that sounds like an actual human being his “alt” and the one that sounds like a perpetually screeching demon spawn his standard? I apologize for my negative rant becoming this long but after so many decent, sensible casting decisions it genuinely astounds me that a professional voice directing team somehow managed to butcher this character so completely

Sig: hearing english sig is a very complicated experience for me especially, both because of the bias of sig being my favorite character and the fact that hearing him voiced by a guy after 4+ years listening to him voiced by a girl. while I still would have preferred a more youthful voice from a female va, I’m quite all right with the voice they gave him now, despite my initial distaste? it’s different, but the most important thing to me is that it retains his spacey, well-meaning but absentminded nature. it isn’t Pure Perfection, but it should be noted that sig has a unique style of speaking that would be very difficult to recreate in another language. when I look at it like that, I think the directors did a respectably good job with him. (and… his “oh boy” damaged quote. Masterful.) Alt Sig: I like this alt for the same reason I liked happy sig in 20th; getting to hear sig speak with more emotion. though this time he’s just a cocky anime protag. I love my boy and I love hearing him go beyond his drawling monotone, in both english and japanese. plus I’m just glad they didn’t go for pokemon speak like jp, because as painful as that was in japanese it definitely would’ve sounded a hundred times more painful in english.

Draco: like a lot of people, I really appreciate english draco being much less grating than japanese draco. to be honest I think this low, strong, more butch-sounding voice fits her much better. I gotta say I’m pleasantly surprised? I might even use her more because I’m quite fond of her new voice… Alt Draco: her alt is kinda amusing to me because it sounds like english draco trying to sound more like japanese draco? I bet this is the voice she uses at beauty pageants. it’s adorable and charming and it makes me want to hug her

Zed: I never paid much attention to him as a character but I like his english voice, it sounds very friendly and warm. in a way it gives me E-102 vibes, it’s strangely nostalgic to me in a sense. it’s quite nice. he’s a nice papa robot. ess is in very good hands. Alt Zed: basically zed as an actual robot. it’s amusing but very predictable and not too noteworthy so there’s not much I have to say about it…

Jay and Elle: first of all *pops party popper* congrats jay on being the only male character voiced by a female va in japanese who is also voiced by a female va in english~ (not counting carby and o~) that aside, the wonder twins are my favorite tetris characters and I’m very happy with how they’re voiced in english! they sound like the adorable and mischievous little shits that they are. I can’t wait to hear them in adventure mode I know they’re gonna be great Alt Jay and Elle: essentially the same “creepy twins” theme that was done with their alt in the jp version. They still sound cute but it’s another cliche voice trope and there’s not much to say unfortunately

Arle and Carbuncle: as one of the two people who liked her voice in fever 1 (and zero of the zero who liked carbuncle’s), I still think these vas are a massive improvement. she sounds much more like a spirited spunky adventurer with just the right amount of sass, just like the compile days. on that note, I especially like english carbuncle for exactly that reason. his deeper voice almost feels like a callback to his voice acting from those ancient madou games of years past, and that makes me inexplicably happy Alt Arle and Carbuncle: this alt is?? hard to describe?? arle sounds slightly more forceful in her speech, and her tone carries more of an anti-hero vibe? meanwhile carbuncle sounds almost exactly the same. I don’t really know what to make of it…

Suketoudara: first of all how dare you. How dare you have such a flawless english voice. how dare you make me actually start kind of liking you. you’re a mascot character. you’re not supposed to be this cool. go tell your voice director to switch with whoever was in charge of klug’s va. this is unexcusable. I’m angry. (in 100% seriousness though he has an awesome english voice and I am kinda bitter but not that much) Alt Suketoudara: hueAH GOT MY BLUE SUEDE SHOOOES, AN’ I… …HHAH GOT MY BLUE SUEDE SHOOOES, AN’ I…~♪. TOUCH DOWN IN THE LAND O’ THE DELTA BLUUUE, IN THE MIDDLE O’ THE POOOURIN’ RAIN ~~♪ (basically: Raw Unbridled Soul Grit)

Satan I mean Dark Prince: though I miss his super super deep jp voice, his english voice still sounds plenty sinister and powerful despite the fact that he himself is rarely either of those. he has a voice that could very easily intimidate and establish authority, and still sounds like a serious, threatening presence even though he’s one of the franchise’s biggest butt monkeys. still can’t wait to hear him cry like a baby in adventure mode though~ Alt Satan: The Most Beautiful and Campiest of Camp Gays. basically oshare in satan’s body. if any of you wanted a cameo from oshare in a main game look no further because he’s right here. he’s finally returned to us in the most unexpected of forms

Rulue: the ojou in her voice is not nearly as strong, but it definitely commands the image of a Fighting Queen. she sounds a lot tougher and less demure than her jp counterpart, and I’m having kind of a hard time deciding which portrayal I like better? I think they’re both equally good. her “Tetris” sounds horribly out of place though, for some reason. Alt Rulue: again I don’t hear much of a difference tone-wise? this rulue sounds less fired up and a little more… smug? but that’s it. maybe this is the return of “ojou” rulue… I think I like tough asskicking rulue better though

Raffina: first: nope, I still have not adapted to that spelling change. second: from an objective standpoint, this voice is a very good fit for her. but to me, who has known and loved her fabulous fever 1 va for thirteen years and still heralds it as The Ideal Raffina Voice to this day, this new voice just sounds far too generic in comparison. it’s a wonderful voice and I like it, but it’s going to be a long and bittersweet road before I can let go of the La-ti-das in my heart ;v; Alt Raffina:the polar opposite of alt rulue. abandoning the ojou way, raffina’s voice loses all its prim and properness as she goes full fighting foodon. I like this voice because it makes me think of a raffina who’s made peace with her lack of magical talent and focused on perfecting her fighting skills instead.

Witch: Very different from her jp voice, much deeper and more tomboyish than I imagined… but honestly I’ve started to like it a lot. a real lot. a “wow this is the best voice I never knew I wanted for her” lot. I am very inordinately fond of her english voice oh my goodness. maybe it’s my love for tomboyish witches talking but… it’s a Good Voice Alt Witch: it’s like witch if they’d tried to make her sound closer to her jp voice. more childish and giddy and deliberately cute-sounding. but after hearing it I have to say I still vastly prefer her normal english voice?? what is this. I’ve been hexed

Ecolo: a friend and I talked long ago about how great ecolo would sound if sam riegel voiced him. and while I’m sad that it didn’t come to pass, I think this voice is a good fit for him too. childish, playful, and slightly dangerous… I hear people say he sounds like a girl, but I don’t really hear it? he just sounds… like an otherworldly blob. which is apt. Alt Ecolo: ecolo after entering Pouty Tantrum Mode. he’s the universe’s biggest baby and it’s fantastic. “Whatever. I didn’t wanna do that anyway. See if I care. Myeh.” ecolo we love you, you tiny ender of worlds. now sit in the corner and think about what you’ve done.

Ex: people were saying he sounds like a game show host, and sure enough when I first heard his voice I could vividly picture him hosting a game of jeopardy. his voice doesn’t have the wistful, sentimental vibe the jp voice did, but he still sounds like a wise, gentle mentor. and the host of jeopardy… alEx trebek, ladies and gentlemen Alt Ex: if normal ex is the host of game shows, then alt ex is the host of extreme wrestling tournaments. it’s beautiful and it must be heard to be believed. OOOOH YEEEEAH! TETRAMANIA COMIN’ AT YA BROTHERRRR

Lemres: he’s another firmly-established character introduced long ago, whose new english portrayal is going to take a lot of getting used to. despite what I’ve heard, he doesn’t sound bara at all. his voice is not as soft and singsongy though… instead he sounds more like a stereotypical teen celebrity heartthrob. and honestly, I really really like that they went that route because that’s essentially what he is? it’s a weird situation because the voice itself is eh to me, but the context of it makes me appreciate and enjoy it more? it’s especially cool cause recent games have glossed over/downplayed lemres’s celebrity status a whole bunch, so it almost feels like someone on the voice team actually did their homework on the other games in the puyo series. and that makes me happy~ Alt Lemres:okay the surfer dude voice is beautiful enough on its own but do you remember?? these old dr. pepper commercials?? that is what Immediately popped in my head upon hearing his win quote?? it made me cry laughing what a magical world we all live in
