Fronte russo 16 dicembre 1942, scatta l'offensiva sul fronte del Don

Il 16 dicembre del 1942, dopo una serie di attacchi preliminari iniziati l’11 dicembre precedente scattava l’Operazione Piccolo Saturno, nome in codice assegnato dallo Stavka, il quartier generale delle Forze Armate sovietiche, alla seconda grande offensiva della campagna invernale nel settore meridionale dell’immenso fronte orientale nel quadro della lunga battaglia di Stalingrado, durante la…

A.A. 2021/2022 Una lettera dal fronte ritrovata ottant’anni dopo tra i ricordi di famiglia, rappresenta ‒ oggi ‒ l’unica traccia che la storia ha lasciato di Deglause Legnani, caporal maggiore alpino infermiere della divisione «Cuneense», mai più tornato dalle gelide steppe del fronte russo.

#this would be a really nice ending honestly#cause YEAH why happened to his parents what gives they’re Usagi’s too#and the fact that auntie adopts the kids it shows how family can be found#+Yuichi know got lil sisters#He’s all about family (miyamoto and auntie) they could have explored it even further

same! would like to know more!!!

we never really touched on Usagi's backstory besides that his parents entrusted auntie with taking care of him, so I often wonder, if the show had been given a longer episode run, like maybe 30, 40, maybe even 26 instead of 20 - could we have seen more character backstories in general? Cuz there's also Kitsune, who's backstory we don't know at all, and then Gen and Toshiko, who we see explain their story a bit in bits and pieces through-out the 2 seasons. The fact that Usagi immediately goes back to his auntie, because he knows Hana would be safe from the ninja there, says a lot about how much he trusts his auntie. like the show makes it feel like he might actually be the most fleshed-out of all the characters, but his story is hidden almost as much as Kitsune's. I sorta get the reasoning there - their personalities already serve to tell their story a lot, Usagi is a big fan of his own ancestor and idolizes him, while Kitsune is a street-thief and grifter before we see Usagi bump into her puppet-cart and ruin her evening plans. The audience can get a lot of info out of just context-clues, but Kitsune and Usagi are also characters who are most easy to read at first, so we don't get their backstories really explored or opened the same way as Chizu or Gen, because, I can only guess, those stories don't seem to directly tie into the two larger arcs shown during the 10+10 episodes. But lol, would still like to know more, where are the activity books and character pages? a little side novel maybe? why did the age of flash games with extra info have to end before this show aired lol, if only Netflix spent money on that sort of stuff too, maybe we'd have more info besides just the shows on their own 😂😂😅

More theories and rambling below :D

My theory about Usagi's parents is that they died in one of the wars mentioned by some of the older characters in the show :) Cliche, I know! but it seems to sorta make sense. Could have been many other reasons too of course! Maybe they went to the city to find or do something related to the family business or history, but found their end somehow. One of my other theories is that there were gang wars in Neo Edo, around 10-14 years before the series starts. Maybe they found their end there? We don't even know how old his parents would have been, but judging by auntie's look and how she speaks and acts, maybe she's like, around 60-ish? she has raised her nephew for 15 years, meaning since she was around 45, so maybe her sister/brother would have been around 35-40 something when they died. I personally headcanon that it's his mom, who is the Miyamoto family member here, so maybe his dad really was a farmer by birth and thus, the family did not have a name anymore (they've always preferred staying in hiding after Miyamoto died) and that's why they gave him the name Yuichi Usagi with meaning... related to that earlier Senso-connected theory I had ^^;

The "big" wars, mentioned by Lady Fuwa and Armiral Nochi, being recent makes sense tho. bc even though a 1000 years have gone past and Edo (our real-world Tokyo) in this world has been able to embrace some more advanced tech (courtesy of the Ki-stone), perhaps even alien tech, depending on how you view what happened with Miyamoto Usagi in the show's past, some of the culture and tech has sort of stayed in the Edo period. This is mainly because the show creators and staff wanted to keep both Edo sensibilities as well as modern tech and create an interesting fusion on an artistic and story level. One of the older interviews from last year mentions that the crew was inspired by Stan's 2015 story Senso - that what if Edo got to take all that alien tech and use it for themselves? From one of Stan's answers in this 2022 Popverse interview:

"They took one of my stories – Senso, a miniseries I did where Martians invade feudal Japan – and wondered what if they took some of the technology they got from those Martians, how would it affect their society generations down the line?

That was the premise, with the story taking place in a city called Neo-Edo; with Edo being the old name for Tokyo, the capital of Japan. It also takes a lot from Japanese culture, such as vending machines, pachinko parlors, karaoke bars, and things like that. It integrated everything, the old and the new, and I’m quite happy about that."

So the wars would make sense to be more recent because to me, it seems that maybe with this tech, from a story-world level, they should be further along the line than having just flying cars and airships, right? But wars are one of those things that always and if Edo didn't have those outside influences that we had, maybe they wouldn't have some things, i.e. we don't see phones or trains on the show vs the phone boom we had in the 1980s in the real world and the hi-speed train rails japan is known for now. So they probably would have also missed out on the 60s Space Race between the US and the Soviet Union, which popularized the 1960s "space age aesthetic" for example, which is what we might think of when trying to remember 60s tech and fashion. So the show creates its own retrofuturism in trying to consider all these different elements.

I wonder if they even considered some cultural things that stuck and became popular before and after the US occupation, such as baseball Harley Davidsons and jazz - what would those be like in the world they created around the city of Neo Edo?

(from AnotherDesignBlog, Eiko Hanamura on League of Extraordinary Cosplayers, Sally the Witch on Wikipedia, 60s Vintage MENKO on eBay)

We see some semblances of what we could call western influences in how Gen installs new kitchenware in episode 5, how Kitsune looks like she could be a 1970s Harajuku girl, how Admiral Nochi and the Bat Squadron dress etc. It's an interesting balance throughout the show and thinking about it more just makes me more curious about it haha.

Maybe what happened with the Makkine a 1000 years ago is that a few sentries arrived with Kagehito's ship. Because of the surprise Kagehito expresses about the makkine warbotto self-replicating in the present (the s2 warbotto ep), we can surmise that they didn't back then, so they didn't replicate. Did they leave any ships? In the first season, Kagehito's ship is underground and covered by hundreds of years of rubble and rock. The Mogura Gang helping him then, actually find gold before they find his ship. So if any ships did come through with him those 1000 years ago, it seems that they did not "park" into the same place, or, likely that whatever happened, they were used up by locals.

The show is also quite fast-paced in reality, as we can see from how each episode jumps from POV to POV, or topic to topic and we get a lot of info in a short time, so to me it seems that the story crew REALLY crunched every bit of important info, story or jokes into the episodes, but just, didn't have more time to show or do anything about Usagi's parents.

lol what I'm doing to avoid more brainworms like this is to.... I guess continue writing my fanfic where I try to solve this (the main storyline from the comic i posted haha), but I also realized while writing this... I am waiting to see if I can get one of the new books coming out this or next year that bridges the stories/worlds between Yokai Hunter and Space Usagi, to see if there might be some new connections to be from there about Space Usagi in general, but maybe there could be something there nodding back to SR as well? maybe the new character is inspired by that or somehow bridges those things? lol a fan can hope ;D

[mr-orion]

oh look an OC, Armir :)

Also sorry I've been inactive a lot, it's a lot of mental work to read and critique worldbuilding posts when I am on and not get as much engagement on my own work. Not that it's anyone's sole responsibility.

So this is the guy who stole Lao Wen's Glazed Armor. WOH, episode 9. GC together with SS and sect students, other sect leaders, and WKX and ZZS stand under the roof and look at the dead body lying on the stretcher. ZZS mentally identifies the deceased as Fang Bu Zhi, the Nine-Clawed Fox. The GC kneels next to the stretcher and examines the body, moving his hands to look for the place where the killer's weapon hit. ZZS still thinks in his mind that this is the man who stole WKX's Glazed Armor. However, he keeps these thoughts to himself and remains silent. He states that it's no wonder he died so quickly, WKX turns and looks at ZZS. He adds that FBZ has only himself to blame. This time, ZZS is looking at WKX. WKX says that plums growing along the road that no one picks must be bitter, and Ah Xu isn't the only one who understands that. GC pulls out a magnet and puts it to the dead man's neck, the magnet pulls the sharp needles out of the neck. Everyone present is watching. GC looks at the magnet while standing up, while ZJ and SS look at it from behind. ZJ talks about a deadly weapon and says that who would have thought that such a small needle could kill a person instantly. The GC asks who in Ghost Valley is good at using this type of weapon. WKX and ZZS are still standing and silent. ZZS wonders if it's a Rain of Needles and the only thing he can think of is that only Tian Chuang has this weapon. He already knows that Han Ying works really fast and therefore Lao Wen's stained Glazed Armir stolen by FBZ must be in Tian Chuang's possession. Loudly, ZZS says in a calm voice that it looks like the Five Lakes Alliance is busy today, suggesting to WKX that they not disturb the brothers any longer. ZJ wants to say something, but WKX states that ZZS is right, since the Five Lakes Alliance is busy, they won't disturb them. WKX bows and says that both ZZS and WKX will leave. GC asks ZJ to escort WKX and ZZS. WKX replies that there is no need because the brothers have more important matters here. Then the GC asks them for forgiveness, adds that the Heroes' Conference is coming and he hopes to see them there. WKX confirms that he will definitely appear at the conference hosted by leader Gao. He says see him soon, bowing to GC, and he and ZZS leave. This whole scene feels like one side testing the other. On the one hand, WKX has its secret, just as ZZS does not want to share its discoveries, on the other hand, the Alliance and its allies also have a lot to hide. The main role here is played by Glazed Armor and the interest in it shown by Ghost Valley. GC wrongly assumes that FBZ was killed by Ghost Valley, ZZS knows that Tian Chuang is behind the murder and is worried that Glazed Armor will end up in the hands of Prince Jin. No one except WKX knows that this piece of Glazed Armor is fake. Nobody knows that what is happening, or at least some of the events, is the result of WKX. In this scene, I like the cold look of ZZH as ZZS, the lack of reaction to what is happening and the fact that he is such a composed person. This is the complete opposite of GJ as WKX who does everything to get attention.
