Week 4 Recs: The Rivalmance
This week's Yeehan fic recs were all about "The Rivalmance." That's enemies-to-lovers, rivals-to-lovers, competitive assholes-to-lovers. If you like Yeehan, you know the vibe! Check out the recs gathered from the Yeehan community below, organized by rating then alphabetically by title.

Hana Song's Guide on How to Not be Weird by LeftHand [27,710 words] Reccer comment: "Still uses the old cowboy name but I love it all the same"
Hanzo would never believe that Hana Song could give such stellar advice or display such wisdom beyond her years. He never expected to make a home for himself among the members of Overwatch. To make peace and find hope in life once again. But he did. He also never expected to get lassoed onto a mission with the most reckless, infuriating, irritating man he'd ever meet. A man in serious need of some guidance. With Hanzo Shimada as his best bet for a clear head? Not being weird is a lot harder than it sounds.
Author's note: This work is not officially completed and has a very round-about ending. I do not plan on ever writing a true final chapter but would still consider the work worth reading. Thanks!

The 85th Annual King County Bake-Off by venvephe [WIP; 37,995 words] Reccer 1 comment: "Warning: incomplete Still a good au tho" Reccer 2 comment: "Unfinished (4/5 chaps and currently ends at a cliffhanger) but set in a fun AU that makes for charming rivals to lovers YH fic and a fun read."
It’s October first, and it’s all come down to this.
The cake is perfect. He’s been waiting for this moment all year, since the previous baking competition. This is his chance at redemption, at reclaiming the crown of the best baker in the county. It’s a title only the winner of the county fair can hold. He’s waited a year and spent hours upon hours at work. Early mornings and late nights, scrapped ideas and tons of flour and sugar went into his masterpiece. It’s all led to him to standing here, awaiting the announcement of the winners.
This year, it’s going to be Hanzo. Last year’s winner - his rival, his nemesis - is going down. Hanzo’s not going to let his mortal enemy take the crown for a third year in a row.
What kind of name is Jesse McCree, anyways?
Howlin' for you by Mifune [17,489 words] Reccer comment: "a good ff if you enjoy bounty hunter Hanzo×wanted Cassidy!"
McCree makes a stop in Dorado, Mexico, before answering the Recall and meets a mysterious man in a bar that promises to make his night a lot more interesting. or McCree wants to do the right thing, Hanzo is sarcastic and there is a lot of emotional baggage unpacked in one night.
Ricochet by robocryptid [24,016 words] Reccer 1 comment: "Cassidy doesn't want to rejoin Overwatch. Too bad Overwatch doesn't take no for an answer and sends a hot stranger to hunt him down."
Reccer 2 comment: "A fun cat-and-mouse spin on Rivalmance. It’s super engaging, the pacing is impeccable and the chemistry is off the charts. I had so much fun reading (and re-reading) this!"
Cole toppled a government or two, caused a few explosions, murdered more bad guys than he can count, and probably a few innocents too. He caused more collateral damage — ruined more lives — than he’ll ever account for, and the world didn’t change a bit. He did his time, and he’s not going back.
Too bad Overwatch doesn’t want to take no for an answer.

Acceptable Substitute by mataglap [47,494 words] Reccer comment: "I go back and reread this so often i think I'm at least 30% of the read stats"
Hanzo has lived without certain things for so long that he has all but forgotten about them. Cassidy is a bright red exclamation mark of a reminder, and Hanzo discovers that the saying "out of sight, out of mind" unfortunately also works in reverse.
Meanwhile, Cassidy is an exceptional liar, and the most egregious of his lies are the ones he tells himself.
Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by KittenzCaboodle [WIP; 34,828 words] Reccer comment: "Then I can't not push this ff enough! It's probably one of my favorites!!"
The man first in line for the Shimada throne was the last picture that Cole had been given to memorize. Hanzo Shimada. They had said it was unlikely that he would be sent, as he was too important for such menial tasks, but he was the next likely candidate according to Genji.
He gazed longingly towards the door, aching to step outside and get a fresh breath of the cool night air. As he silently grumbled about the sweat rolling down his back, the bodies grinding against each other in the club making the place hot and steamy in all the wrong ways, he saw him.
Of all the people in the world, Hanzo Shimada, the worst possible person, had just walked through the door and was putting their entire Blackwatch mission at risk.
Somehow, Cole had to distract him long enough to for Genji to get out, and he was willing to do whatever it takes, even if he was caught between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.
But when the Devil buys you dinner and is one of the nicest people you've ever met, then things get confusing.
Binary System by mataglap [14,150 words] Reccer comment: "it's one of my comfort series for this ship, it's really funny, both characters are really well written and very in character, and honestly i just absolutely adore everything this amazing writer make"
Hanzo is arrogant and Cassidy is stubborn, which results in the world's strangest game of chicken.
Ichigo by morrezela [27,121 words] Reccer comment: "Qualifies if you squint? YeeHan break-up and aren't very civil to each other for a while"
They break up on a Wednesday.
Nocturne by delicaterosebud [61,160 words] Reccer comment: "This is probably the most bittersweet 'enemies to lovers' I’ve ever read. Some parts of this fic made me a bit uncomfortable, but in a good way (if that makes any sense
)"
After his mentor goes missing in the forest of Aokigahara, Jesse McCree, a member of the world-renowned Overwatch hunting guild, finds himself alone in his desire to save him. Receiving little support from his teammates, who have deemed his rescue effort to be too risky, Jesse must turn to an unexpected - and rather unpleasant - companion for aid.
During their travels together, however, he and the demon named "Hanzo" grow closer, and Jesse learns that the concept of good and evil isn't quite as simple as he had presumed.
One Man's Hero by mataglap [WIP; 99,485 words] Reccer 1 comment: "I can't not rec this one for enemies to lovers!!"
Reccer 2 comment: "A superhero AU ripe with action, beautifully charged and meaningful emotional scenes, superb characterization, meticulous world-building and just stellar writing. I especially enjoyed the side characters in this!"
Hanzo Shimada is an assassin, a murderer, and decidedly not a hero, let alone a superhero — and yet.
Popcorn Redemption by wyntera [WIP; 266,692 words] Reccer comment: "A classic, unfinished but great"
They say life isn't like the movies.
Well, partner, they ain't never worked for Overwatch.
Shift, Refresh by robocryptid [3,168 words] Reccer comment: "bursting through the door with this"
There are worse ways to start the morning after than with the walk of shame. It's not at all what Hanzo planned, but it might be what he deserves.
Survival Instinct by mataglap [36,485 words] Reccer comment: "Very well written, Hanzo's characterization was on point. Also I love remorseful/guilty Cole."
Cassidy takes a new monster hunting contract. It's pretty decent as contracts go: the pay is good, the perks even better, and he's got two competent companions to fight at his side when the monsters come.
Then a third companion arrives and ruins everything.
to lie down with dogs by motorghost [65,540 words] Reccer comment: "practically bursting at the seams with tension, at times almost suffocating (I mean this in the most complimentary way possible)."
Hanzo and Cole are on a top-secret reconnaissance mission in the industrialized wasteland of post-Crisis North Dakota, hunkered down in a factory ill-fit for human occupation. Cole seems fine with the situation, but Hanzo's doubts extend far beyond their little room.
That brings Week 4 to a close! Thank you to everyone who sent in a recommendation! Keep an eye out for next week's theme: "Golden Oldies," or fics from 2016 and 2017!
In the meantime, you can also check out the Week 3 recs here or see the list of past and future themes here!

If Fumiko is monstrous then Fujimoto should start presenting her as such
Fumiko is written to remind us that Denji is a child, and I repeat, she is the symbol of a child's sexual trauma in all its horror and "paradoxes".
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Touching Denji without his consent, catching an adolescent who hasn't yet discovered himself off guard, is the most obvious way of proving the link between the theme of sexual assault and Fumiko, but it doesn't stop there.
The fact that Denji accepts only proves this point: it shows just how much he's someone who needs boundaries and protection. He passively listens to what he's told without question simply because Fumiko has the upper hand.
Tumblr media
She has one, but spends her time pretending she doesn't, in particular by disguising her age like a predator, calling him "senpai" when she's 22, and playing up her protective role as a "bodyguard" when she's only there to stop Denji thinking for himself
As can be seen in the dialogue between Miri and Denji, she positions herself as an interlocutor, standing in Denji's shadow, influencing his decisions and distracting the boy from the substance of Miri's message.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But she's a complete paradox, still trying to make Denji believe she's protecting him, she refers to Chainsaw Man as a "child", which rather than demonstrating a good intention shows that she's well aware of what Denji is and that she's abusing him head-on.
Who protects a child by attacking him?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Once again, I insist, these are two pages from the same chapter. Dare you tell me that Fumiko doesn't present any contradictions?
Above all, she makes it seem as if she only wants what's best for Denji, even when he hasn't responded to her pleas for help. Once again, there's a paradox: the predator blames her victim for not having seen her own vulnerability, whereas she’s only abusing those of her victim.
Tumblr media
Fumiko is a metaphor for the very dangerousness of sexual assault, gentle on the surface but insidious, its violence only made clear and felt after the event, rising like a tide.
Tumblr media
When Yoshida convinces Denji to give up his normal life, he leaves him in the hands of Fumiko, a public hunter, who symbolises the extent to which, despite the monster in front of them, danger also exists among men, and that the milieu of public hunters is a harmful world for a child.
Tumblr media
I think the reason Fujimoto doesn't immediately place Fumiko in a position of condemnation is to instil a feeling of frustration and powerlessness at seeing Denji unprotected, to make it clear that "he's missing something", a parental figure.
But I think that for the writing to be complete, the author has to take a clear stance on the subject, in his own way of course, but explicitly
Seeing Fumiko next to Denji makes me anxious, it's such a common form of violence that it pulls me out of my reading.
Fumiko is a monster, so I pray that Fujimoto will have fun explicitly detailing her dark side and her horror.
If he doesn't, then she'll remain an unfinished and confusing chimera, the result of lazy writing and a fear of commitment.

"the Warrior, the Princess & the Peasants"
Hidden Fortress (1958)
The Akira Kurosawa movie that inspired the structure and some of the character dynamics in the first Star Wars film. The main characters are:
Tumblr media
Matashichi and Tohei, the two serfs whose eyes most of the picture is viewed through, Princess Yuki, an uppity young aristocrat on the run from the authorities, who constantly bickers with Toshiro Mifune's battle-hardened general Rokurota.
Tumblr media
Star Wars (1973)
In the original concept of Star Wars, the dynamic stayed similar, although more characters were added to the mix.
But you still have the two droids, C-3PO and R2D2 (deriving from the peasants in Hidden Fortress), Princess Leia (loudmouth aristocrat on the run from the authorities), and Luke Skywalker (a battle-hardened general).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As drafts changed and plot details shifted, Luke Skywalker became the young protagonist, the general character became Obi-Wan Kenobi (whom Toshiro Mifune was originally considered for).
Tumblr media
It's not a one-to-one copy, but there is clearly an inspiration. And when you look at the posters at the time?
Tumblr media
Still Luke, Leia, 3PO and R2.
Tumblr media
The Phantom Menace (1999)
As already discussed here, in one of the early drafts of The Phantom Menace, Obi-Wan is the one who rescues the Queen from Naboo and finds Anakin on Tatooine. Qui-Gon only comes into the script once the gang gets to Coruscant.
Tumblr media
But in this early draft, Obi-Wan is an experienced warrior, who pushes the envelope, eliciting the complaints of princess Queen Amidala (the aristocrat on the run). When on Tatooine, the two "low-ranking" characters are still R2, this time with Jar Jar Binks.
Eventually, for multiple reasons, Obi-Wan was made the Padawan and Qui-Gon was put in early in the script.
Tumblr media
(Fun Fact: before this change was made, there was a draft where Obi-Wan stayed the elder, Qui-Gon was made the Padawan, and then Obi-Wan gets killed by Maul and young Qui-Gon takes on his name, going on to become Alec Guinness' Ben!)
But be it Qui-Gon or Obi-Wan, the warrior in The Phantom Menace is no longer a general with rank authority, he's just a diplomat.
The only reason he's able to do things "his way or the highway" is because 1) he is headstrong and 2) Padmé is undercover and doesn't wanna give it away (as if Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan hadn't already noticed...!)
Tumblr media
So here we have an interesting reversal of roles: in Hidden Fortress (and kinda in the first Star Wars film), the Princess is the chaotic hellion who must be reined in by the warrior, who's always screaming:
"Princess, ffs! Stop wandering off, they're actively looking for you!"
Here, the warrior is the one going off-book and the Queen is like:
"Stop this at once, you cheeky fellow! We're on the run!"
Finally, as covered in this lengthy post about how The Hidden Fortress informs us of the Jedi's standing within the Republic, Lucas makes it clear that he alternates between projecting the "peasant POV" archetype on the Jedi duo and Jar Jar & R2/Anakin.
There is no clear protagonist in The Phantom Menace, you just have four main characters: the Jedi (who are two separate characters, but functionally are basically one single character), Padmé and Anakin.
Tumblr media
All of this to say that just like the themes, these archetypes also echo each other in more ways than one, and it's intentional. As Lucas puts it, it's like a symphony:
"I’m also doing very stylistic ideas, things that are very musical in terms of how I develop themes, and repeat themes. I go do the same thing over and over in certain areas to echo what I have done before. It’s like a symphony more than a movie." - Star Wars Insider #35, 1997
"I'm approaching these films, for better or worse, like a symphony. I have a lot of themes that I keep repeating over and over again through the whole thing. Different notes and different instrumentation, but when you see all six movies together you'll see that there's a lot of recurring notes being played. [...] And it’s done on purpose. And it’s also done in different facets." - Star Wars Insider #52, 2000
So yeah.
Just some fun similarities and tidbits I noticed, figured I'd share.

Some Cannabis and Overenthusiasm-fuelled Fan Theories about Worlds Beyond Number (Part 2)
Theory #2: Is Eioghorain Rasper?
Look, this one is so thin. But it really leads back to my overarching theory that Eioghorain isn't actually as bad as we think actually, this theory of mine is very emotional and very deep, so I shall keep it to myself until I have a relisten specifically geared toward proving this, or if he is, it's not in the way we think. In reality, it probably stems solely from me thinking over and over again about the GIFT that is the fact that Eioghorain looks like Toshiro Mifune. But we know literally 2 things about Rasper (as recallled from memory so please correct me if I'm mistaken):
1) his origins are very mysterious but his name is likely a name cloak
2) he is an older east asian man with graying hair at his temples and a lithe, athletic build
This literally just occured to me today while listening to the Fireside Chat when Brennan made an effort to remark that Eioghorain would be older now. Aabria and Erika were (rightly) distracted by Mifune still being smoking hot at any age, but I can't help but wonder...
Theory #3: Indri and Mirara are working together to kill Hakea
Ok... ride with me, please. I've already talked about this before, but I have to say it again because... i just believe it so much. We know that The King of Night wants to eliminate Ame so that the Coven can make moves against the Citadel. But... what if his infiltration of Hakea's retinue is actually a ploy from Indri to incriminate Hakea in the death of Gramore's lover??? Gramore and Hakea came into this house the closest bond. And Hakea is the one witch currently in the coven with an undeniable authority over Indri. If there can only be 3 witches, it seems like the very best chance Indri has in convincing Gramore is by turning her against Hakea so that it is Ame and Hakea on the chopping block.
Theory #4: Indri is eliminating the Coven of Elders one by one
Look... there's not a ton of data to back me up on this one besides Brennan admitting that Indri is him living his best Regina George Life. Here's what I do have
‱ Indri's predecessor was not about isolation and self like Indri is
‱ Indri killed her predecessor
‱ Indri is so threatened by other witches that she "gets rid of" any apprentice she has that starts learning magic
‱ Oh, and the Mysterious Garden of Highly Specifically Posed Ice Sculptures, including one who is very much Not Like the Others
‱ Indri looked exactly the same as she does now when she met Morning Wrensong... meaning she was likely equally as powerful
‱ Grandma Wren would've been the third witch eliminated from the Coven if Ame's curse worked
And... lbr, that's all I need to know this woman is threatened by other powerful women and is Very Likely Up to No Good...
Theory #5: Halumon might be our best bet at fixing the Coven of Elders
Remember how Halumon melted the ground of the courtyard? Also, remember the ice sculpture that was Not Like the Others? I feel like the only way we really put an end to Indri's determined elimination of her own Coven will be getting the pretty pony back to melt Ice Mommy and have her reclaim her position as the Witch of Wind and Stars. This is less of a theory and more of a hope, ngl...
Anywho, again, if you actually made it here, thanks for reading and please tell me how you feel about any of these. Also, if toy are anything like me, you have cottonmouth rn, so don't forget to hydrate.

to become a star
wordcount: 0.4K
tags: branding, not actually super sexual i just wanted to write a branding fic tbh, intimacy
synopsis: she wants to be a star, and he'll oblige her request
authors note: ive been thinking about them again boys
https://archiveofourown.org/works/59469412
Tumblr media
He's beyond gentle with her. It's out of character for him to go slowly and deliberately with his motions. She appreciates it regardless for a night like this one.
The night where she becomes a Star much like he is.
They'd been planning it for years really. Her clan has nothing for her and his is all gone. A mutual exchange.
She's his partner anyways.
And while she doesn't need to show eternal devotion to her Meister in a way as grand as being brought into the clan, she wants too. She's been there for him for years, he's done the same for her. Why not seal the deal irreversibly?
Black Star throws one more scrap of wood onto the coals to ensure the iron is hot enough. He'd long since removed his gloves for this. He knows this is scary. He knows he wasn't treated with the same kindness when he was branded as a Star.
With slow touches he pulls off her scarf and pulls down one strap of her top. It slides down her arm and exposes the tender flesh around her shoulder blade. He grabs a cloth to splash the spot just off of the shoulder blade with lukewarm water. It won't be enough to acclimatize her to the heat, but anything to make it easier.
"Do you really want to do this?" Black Star asked quietly, kneading into the flesh of her shoulder with his thumb and palm.
Tsubaki nodded, "I do."
"It'll hurt more than anything you've felt before," Black Star said. He splashed water on the flames that lapped at the metal of the star he'd use on her. It had a handle attached to it, so he wouldn't burn his own hand in marking her. Or anyone else becoming a Star at that rate.
"Nothing will hurt more than losing you when we fought Mifune," Tsubaki countered with.
"Alright." Black Star raised the brandishing tool and used his spare hand to press where he'd mark. A little closer to the back then on his arm. "I trust you."
He has to hold her still against the ground as he goes to lay it down on her skin. Every part of him is screaming to not do it, but he knows, he knows she wants this. He knows he wants this. Even if it is permanent and painful.
Tsubaki screams as hot iron burns her flesh with her new motif.
And Black Star feels nothing but regret.

me and jade see a swordsman with limited backstory and say is anybody gonna write that? and don't wait for an answer. anyways mifune headcanons
bounced around foster homes growing up; fondness for kids comes from feeling robbed of family and belonging
was called by a nickname by everyone ("tee")
he thinks horses are pretty... one of his better fosters was a ranch. they made him earn his keep but they were kind.
had his head shaved by a different foster father as a young teen. gave him issues about self image, authority, and autonomy.
despite not talking much and refusing to engage with arguments, he often got into fights. previously mentioned issues & Don't Fucking Touch Me attitude led to a lot of altercations
dropped out of high school & ran away at 17 before the system dropped him. began committing petty crime to afford a ticket to japan after learning the language from movies.
stopped smoking cigarettes when he arrived in japan to save money -- hence the takoyaki stick he keeps in his mouth
canonically dislikes sweets but keeps candy on him for kids; he buys the seaweed flavored ones because if he really needs a cigarette he'd rather not eat something sugary
"tee" is difficult to pronounce in japanese, coming out like "chee". he got the new nickname "mifune" as a tease for using slang from samurai movies.
tone deaf as hell. only realized this when he began trying to learn the shamisen (weeb)
returned to the US after killing white⭐star and developing the infinite sword style

Does Mifune donate some books too? I can just hear Yua telling him about her son’s latest job/project and mifune goinf, “I have books that I never read/connections to authors who might be willing to donate”. One day a couple of small boxes arrive at the school. When Tsunade opens them, she immediately sighs and calls Yua to tell her Kohai thank you.
Hfjdjxjs I LOVE IT
MIfune hears his nephew is taking on this big project and decides he’s going to help, and his connections get him access to a lot of books Kakashi wasn’t able to get/never thought if.
And Tsunade doesn’t even need to ask cuz Mifune left a note at the top of the box informing her what these books were for, with his name sogned at the bottom
She has met the man maybe five times in her life, but Yua never shuts up about her precious Kohai so she knows him
She also knows this is somehow Yua’s doing and she needs to extend a small thank you to her as well, which Yua will not accept because Mifune did all the work (even if he did con her out of giving up ten books from her own collection, which is impressive given how greedy she is with her books XD)

Persona Part 2
Persona 5
Joker/Rin Amamiya (genderbent)
Tumblr media
So, I always thought that Joker should have got a FeMC equivilant with Royal. And when Violet was revealed, I thought it was her. Now, I am not a big fan of her in Royal so I am using her as the 'face' for Female Joker. Partially because there is more fanart of her so more options
Joker is the leader of the Phantom Thieves. Arrested for a crime she didn't commit, she and her fellow thieves use the Metaverse to combat the manipulations of those who distort the world and change peoples hearts. Joker is a bit self conscious, but hides it behind her confident smirk and what could only be described unironically as 'swag'
Panther/Ann Takamaki
Tumblr media
Panther is a model. Having been abused by her gym coach, Ann slowly grew into herself again after an incident with her best friend. Planning on becoming an actress the sex confident blonde is ready to face the world
Queen/Makoto Nijima
Tumblr media
Queenis the teams strategist and leader of the team. A year older than the ithere. She use to be nothing but a doormat for authority, now she is ready to do what is right. A bit socially awkward, Makoto is confident in growing as a person. And she knows how to kick your ass
Oracle/Futaba Sakurai
Tumblr media
Oracle, Futaba, is a big nerd and a year younger than Joked. Her mother died in front of her at a young age, and the guilt and lies that filled Futaba made her deeply repressed. She can best be described as a cinnamon bun chaotic gremlin highbrid. She is also Joker's little sister figure as Joker is staying with Futaba's adopted dad Sojiro, the man acting as Rin's guardian, and Rin and Futaba have formed a sibling-like bond
Noir/Haru Okumura
Tumblr media
Haru Okumara, Noir, is the same age as Makoto. Big into gardening, she is the heir (slash is the CEO) of Okumara Foods after her father died. While having a sadistic side in combat, she is the 'team mother' and the sweetest thing around
Crow/Gina Akechi (Genderbent)
Tumblr media
Sadayo Kawakami/Becky
Tumblr media
Ms Kawakami is a teacher at Shujin Academy, the school Joker and her friends attended during their first year as a team. Ms Kawakami is a very calm, kind, teacher who has to act as a maid in order to get extra money
Tae Takemi
Tumblr media
Tae is a doctor who lives close to the Sakura family owned cafe, LĂš Blanc, and is a regular customer. Her license was revoced because another doctor faked a patient's death, a patient who was given an experimental drug by Tae to the and cure a deadly disease. She is sex on legs and she knows it, confident and sassy with a dry wit
Sae Nijima/Shadow Sae
Tumblr media
Sae is Makoto's big sister. She was a prosecuter, but after Persona 5 became a Defence Attorney. Confident, calm and collected. She basically raised Makoto. And she do what she can for her family to be safe
Justine and Caroline (Aged Up)
Tumblr media
Lavenza (Aged Up)
Tumblr media
Chihaya Mifune
Tumblr media
Hifumi Togo
Tumblr media
Ichiko Ohya
Tumblr media
Shiho Suzui
Tumblr media
Persona 5 Strikers
Sophia/Sophie
Tumblr media
Alice Hiiragi/Shadow Alice
Tumblr media
Persona 5 OC
Akari Amamiya
Tumblr media
(face claim is the crossdressing design for Joker. The art works too well for a female Joker but I already have Rin...)
This OC is Akari Amamiya, Rin's own mother. A former prison warden, she and her husband went through a.... But of a rough patch because of the Shido incident. Her husband believing in their daughter being a deliquent and trouble maker. Let's just say... When Rin returned home, the house was one person short....
Akari works as a negotiator. Arriving for business deals, hostage negotiations, anything. Wearing a.... Modified version of her old outfit to add intimidation/to throw off the opposition, she has a near 100% rate of success in scoring her client the best result. The reason it's not 100% is because she will never screw over those being victimised. If she's hired to make a negotiation against a weaker party, she will do all in her power to make it better for them.
...
She also sells photos of herself on some 'adult' websites, but only pictures of herself wearing some form of cloths. Never naked

I think ironically people ship Kid with Blackstar so much because after a certain point any charachter development between Blackstar and Tsubaki disapeared, making her look as just a tool and nothing more - this also was kinda a consequence of embracing BS surpasing of Gods idea on his own kinda making it necesarry that he can do everything on his own with his weapon only being an accesory. A shame a shamr
I'll get to this later, but I want to start with a disclaimer: even if Tsubaki was more present in this story, the Black Star x Kid ship would still be popular, because of how many interactions they have in the manga, and just how engaging their interactions are, in terms of differing personalities, similar goals, and how they complement each other.
Black Star x Kid is a good ship for embracing their differences, including how their differences complement each other--just as Black Star x Tsubaki is a good ship, as each gives the other what they lack (one is outgoing, one is more reserved; one is overly confident, one needs a cheerleader and she gets it in Black Star) while contending with the same problem (family guilt, family pressure, lineage problems).
So, the real answer isn't whether to cheer on only DeathStar or only TsuStar: the real answer is to ship both ships...or toss in Liz for a poly relationship between the four.
Now, onto the longer answer in response...
I don't ignore that increased interactions can increase the popularity of a ship.
I also have seen ships that are super popular between characters with almost no interactions. Hell, look how popular ships get (not just as ironic or as memes--as legitimately enjoyable ships) between characters from completely different series, authors, time periods, media.
All of that said, I would rephrase it: Tsubaki unfortunately becomes so much less of an entity in Soul Eater that she doesn't get to exist as a fully realized character, or a character as fully realized as she was in earlier arcs, such as her fight against Masamune, Black Star training at her family's home, or the final fight against Mifune.
After the Baba Yaga arc, she is here to get jokes thrown at her for being a perv in the Book of Eibon arc, then just Black Star's weapon in combat. At least Soul got to say and do stuff even when being Maka's partner. Even as I can criticize stuff in the Book of Eibon, at least Liz and Patty got a flashback moment to show why they were devastated at Kid's kidnapping.
But Tsubaki doesn't get to do much during and after the Book of Eibon arc. So those moments where fans will hunt down panels in the manga where Black Star and Tsubaki share space, share looks, is limited. At most we get Black Star revealing he and Tsubaki sleep in the same room--but that is again part of making Tsubaki look like a perv, and more of the attention is on Kilik's reaction to all of this, again leaving Tsubaki erased from her own moment.
You point out that by the time that Black Star is practically a god that having Tsubaki act as more than just a tool is difficult.
But look at another story, such as Noragami.
Even as Yato and Yukine get more powerful and ascend to higher forms of divinity, neither one is really in a position to be on their own.
If we treat Yato as the Black Star here, he is still super arrogant and needs Yukine to humble him: we could have had that with Tsubaki still needing to humble Black Star, but even when he gets kicked in the balls by Patty, she isn't the one to humble him, that's Kim doing it.
If we treat Yukine as the Black Star here, he is still learning the ropes of his new powers--after Baba Yaga, we don't see Tsubaki continuing that training of Black Star, and that's a shame to not get to see more of such training, to show how Tsubaki unlocked those greater abilities Black Star shows later, such as the "walking" up to the Moon on Tsubaki's scarf or vomiting back a laser. Yes, this opens up a sexism problem--the girl who teaches the boy so that the boy can surpass the girl--but at least then Tsubaki is more involved and getting to do something.

Tri-Arame: Persona Plight?
Primary Pairing: N/A Starring: Setsuna Nana Also Starring: Shioriko, Student Council Vice President Words: ~1.4k Rating: G Time Frame: The day after Episode 6 of Season 2 Story Arc: Stand Alone
---------
Author's Note: Happy Birthday Setsuna! ♡ (≧▜≊) ♡
I'm so happy to be able to post this! It was an honor to be chosen to write for the Shout Your Love! fan zine. And a lot of fun writing this entry. And participating in a good cause. And having one of my favorite LL artists @myonmukyuu draw something for one of my fics. But I still looked forward to sharing this story with more readers, so here we are.
Also, go check out the other stories in the collection and celebrate Setsuna on her special day!
And finally, worth mentioning that I am referring to Setsuna as Nana in this chapter, as she is in Nana-mode through most of it.
---------
Nana wanted to hum happily as she crouched and opened the cabinet door to her secret stash, but she was Nana at the moment and

Wait, did she need to continue keeping up the façade now that she had revealed her secret to the school? For that matter, did she even need this secret stash anymore now that her parents knew as well?
Nana gasped slightly as a thought occurred to her. She could take her collection home and display it openly in her room now. Her regular ritual of shuffling books and discs among her friends and her stashes here at school and at home was
 no longer necessary. She realized she should be happy about this turn of events and yet it somehow felt
 anticlimactic? Had she come to enjoy this ritual that much?
Did she also enjoy keeping Nana and Setsuna separate?
She had attended classes all day as Nana, as usual. And she had intended on continuing in Nana mode through the upcoming student council meeting. She would eventually change to Setsuna mode to meet the rest of the idol club to continue the activities of the second School Idol Festival.
But could she have attended class as Setsuna? Could she run the student council as Setsuna? Or perhaps could she attend the festivities as Nana? Would everyone else be willing to go along with that, or would it weird them out? For that matter, would she weird out herself?
Nana reached up and touched one of her braids as she pondered her new situation. She did enjoy the hairstyle, and wearing glasses did help her feel like she was being more serious about things. Plus, there was no denying that she thoroughly enjoyed changing into Setsuna by undoing her braids, often intentionally dramatically, and swapping her glasses for contacts. It felt like she was literally liberating herself to be herself. Not that being Nana wasn’t being herself, of course.
Plus, just a few days ago, Setsuna had told her fellow idols that the student council and the school idol club were different things. She had explained that she loved both, wanted to continue both, and thus had wanted things to stay the way they were.
Except now things were different.
Nana jolted at the sound of the door opening on the other side of the room. Hastily, she slammed the cabinet door and spun toward those entering.
“Ah, Setsu
” the vice president cleared her throat. “I mean, Council President.” Despite the shift in formality, Nana could easily see she was holding back excitement.
“Nakagawa-sa,” Shiroriko greeted politely, seemingly unphased by the behavior of the girl beside her.
“M-Mifune-san, Vice P-President-san, you t-two are early!” Nana heard herself sputter before putting conscious effort into her words.
Shioriko blinked stoically as she approached. “As are you,” she observed before her gaze shifted down. “That is quite the collection you have.”
“Geh
” Nana realized her bag was still open.
“Do you normally carry that many books with you?”
“N-No, I
 uhm
” Nana fumbled for an explanation. So much for preventing stuttering. After half a second of thought, she decided lying to Shioriko wouldn’t be effective. Her shoulders slumped. “I was sorting my collection.”
“Oh? What types of books do you collect?” The vice president sounded interested.
A familiar flame flickered within Nana. She was about to quash it when a thought occurred to her. With her secret revealed, a little crossover between her personas was fine, right? Maybe?
“Manga, doujin and light novels,” Nana replied, monitoring her excitement level, letting a little out, but not too much. She then listed her favorite genres, making sure to list fantasy and romance first.
“I should have guessed,” the vice president smiled. “That’s what you list in Setsuna-chan’s bio on the club’s site. Do you have any recommendations?”
The tiny flame flared into a full, fiery conflagration.
Recommendations? Of course she had recommendations!
Nana stooped and grabbed a book from her bag. “I was going to reread this one because the next entry in the series is being released later this week. It’s so~ good! A masterpiece! The story focuses on a couple of angels in Heaven. This one,” she pointed to a blue-haired girl on the cover, “comes from a cursed bloodline, which is why her wings are black and most of her powers are dark. Even her familiar is black.” Her finger moved to a cat on the girl’s shoulder. “And this one thinks of herself as just an ordinary, run of the mill angel.” She indicated a redhead. “But of course she
” Nana gasped. “Oh, I’m sorry, I
 I really shouldn’t spoil anything
”
The vice president laughed lightly. “It’s fine. Who is the blonde?”
“She’s their superior officer.”
“Angels have officers?”
“They’re part of Heaven’s military and some of the chapters focus on them fighting demons.”
“That sounds interesting.”
“It really is!” There was no way Nana could hold back her grin if she wanted to. “I highly recommend it. You should read it.” She held out the book.
“Is that not the second book in the series?” Shioriko inquired.
“I have the first!” Nana wheeled around and whipped open the cabinet. “Here!” She grabbed the book and turned back to hold it out
“You’ve been using school resources to store your collection?”
Nana froze. “I
 I
”
Shioriko smiled. “No need to worry, Nakagawa-san. As with your former secret concerning your identity, I shall maintain this one as well.”
“Thank you, Set
 Council President,” the vice president accepted the doujin. “I can’t wait to read it.”
“We still have some time before the others arrive,” Shioriko pointed out.
“You’d be alright with us reading while you’re here?” Nana asked, finding herself surprised.
“I am quite fond of reading myself.” The younger girl responded. “Far be it for me to deny others from doing so.”
“I could recommend something for you as well.” Nana offered, getting excited again.
“Thank you, but I generally prefer novels over manga.”
“I have light novels,” Nana quickly scanned her collection. “I’d let you borrow my favorite, but I believe that one is at home
 Oh, how about this one?” She pulled out a book. “It’s about a war-torn world where magic, alchemy, steam tech and high tech all coexist, and various nations specialize in certain ones and they all combine their might to protect their world from invaders from another dimension. The heroes are so~ cool! My favorite character has this high tech suit of armor that lets her fly around and shoot fire and plasma. She’s awesome!” 
Before she consciously registered her own actions, Nana was miming her Setsuna Scarlet Storm call and response motions. Wait, why was she doing that? She was Nana at the moment! She felt heat rising in her cheeks.
“That sounds amazing!” The vice president cried excitedly. “Can I read it after you, Mifune-san?”
Oh
 Maybe it didn’t matter.
“I believe that would be up to Nakagawa-san,” Shioriko replied.
“It’s fine,” Nana assured. “I’d love it if you both read it so we could talk about it after.”
“Very well.” Shioriko accepted the book. “I shall return it post haste.” With that said, she moved to one of the couches, sat down and immediately began to read.
“Well, it seems we only have a few more minutes before our meeting.” The vice president glanced at the clock on the wall. “Shall we get some reading in?”
“Yes.” Nana nodded.
As she made her way to her desk, Nana’s thoughts turned to all that had just transpired. Perhaps a little crossover between Nana and Setsuna wasn’t so bad. The vice president and Shioriko seemed to have no trouble going along with it all. Surely it would be the same with her friends in the idol club, right?
With one last glance at the two readers on the couch, Nana finally opened her doujin and began to read.
Tumblr media
---------
Omake
---------
Let’s see
 Shioriko thought to herself, scanning the shelf. They’re organized by title, so it should be
 Ah. She reached up and pulled out a book.
With the School Idol Festival over, Shioriko had accepted Setsuna’s invitation to join her and the vice president on a shopping trip for books. It felt a little odd buying a doujin, as she typically preferred novels, but she had read Setsuna’s copy and was immediately hooked on the story. And she couldn’t deny that the art was lovely and lent itself well to the fantasy setting. Or RPG setting, as Setsuna had insisted on calling it.
“Ooowahhaa!” An excited cry caught Shioriko’s attention. “I can’t believe it’s in stock!”
She turned to find Setsuna marveling at some school idol merchandise.
“I’ll get one too!” The vice president matched Setsuna’s enthusiasm.
Shioriko smiled and moved over to join her friends at the display to see if there was anything that might catch her eye.
---------
Author's Note Continued:
Here is the Afterward I used for the zine:
Ah, Setsuna, my favorite idol in the Nijigasaki generation of the Love Live! franchise.
As with ”’s and Aqours prior, it took me a little while to settle on a favorite from the Nijigasaki club. PDP wasn’t quite enough, and it took SIFAS, the Nijiyon comics, and a lot of fanart for me to figure things out with the group. And as with those before her, Setsuna faced stiff competition.
I honestly thought a couple of the other girls would be my favorite before I settled on her. Ultimately, it was her over-the-top passion for that which she loves that propelled her to the top.
However, it’s not enough for Setsuna to be passionate about something she loves. She needs to share that excitement. She needs to shout her love. And while performing on stage as an idol definitely allows her to do just that, she has other things than idols that she loves that she needs to address off stage. And I love that the canon material gives her friends that allow to geek out as much as she wants; many actively encourage her excitement.
I’ve written many excitable Setsuna moments, many of which include geeky rants, or at least the implication that one took place. And I plan to write many more. However, with the chapter I wrote for this zine, I decided to give Nana a chance to geek out.
The Nana/Setsuna dynamic is also one of the aspects I enjoy about the character. Her Clark Kenting around school amuses me to no end. And I love that she continued to use Nana mode even after her secret was revealed.
I’ve long wondered how Setsuna might view the two sides of herself after the big reveal, and this zine entry seemed as good an excuse as any to explore it a bit. And include some of the happy geekiness that I adore so much. And have some of my ideas drawn out by the talented myon. How could I pass up such an opportunity?
So to that, I must extend my thanks to Ethanol and myon for selecting me to participate in this project.

Shƍgun!
Shƍgun: The much-anticipated Japan-set show has finally landed.—Cosmo Jarvis as the English ship pilot John Blackthorne, whose vessel was wrecked upon the Japanese coast in the early 17th century. After losing his ship to a violent storm, the English navigator finds himself in an endless web of complex politics and power play in Japan and is forced to deal with the two most powerful men in Japan these days. He is thrown amid a war between Toranaga and Ishido, who struggle for the title of Shƍgun which will give ultimate power to the one who possesses it.
The term shƍgun, which means “general who quells barbarians,” is an ancient military term that was adopted in the twelfth century for the dominant warlord who held political and martial power in Japan while the emperor in Kyoto maintained his position as figural head of state and cultural leader.
Shƍgun (1980)

The original Shƍgun, a five-part miniseries based on James Clavell’s best-selling 1975 doorstop, was a massive hit when it aired on ABC in 1980. Nearly a third of American households tuned in to watch a cast led by Richard Chamberlain and the iconic Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune retell the tale of an English navigator’s adventures in feudal Japan. The series won three Emmys and three Golden Globes. The series and book triggered a wave of interest in feudal Japan.

Shƍgun: The First Novel of the Asian saga. Set in the year 1600, it tells the story of a bold English pilot whose ship was blown ashore in Japan, where he encountered two people who were to change his life: a warlord with his own quest for power, and a beautiful interpreter torn between two ways of life and two ways of love.
Shƍgun is a 1975 historical fiction novel by James Clavell, set during the late Sengoku period in Japan. It serves as the first novel in the internal chronology of the author's Asian Saga. A notable best-seller, by 1990 the book had sold 15 million copies worldwide.
About the author
James Clavell, the son of a Royal Navy family, was educated in Portsmouth before, as a young artillery officer, he was captured by the Japanese at the Fall of Singapore. It was on this experience that his bestselling novel KING RAT was based. He maintained this oriental interest in his other great works: TAI-PAN, SHOGUN, NOBLE HOUSE and GAI JIN.
Clavell lived for many years in Vancouver and Los Angeles, before settling in Switzerland, where he died in 1994.
youtube
Shƍgun (2024)
The new Shƍgun, whose two-episode premiere comes to FX and Hulu, is not a remake so much as a radical reimagining. Adapted directly from Clavell’s novel, this sprawling, 10-part historical drama takes a far broader view than its predecessor. The series will have a total of 10 episodes, releasing a new chapter every week following the premiere. The release of its first two episodes is on Tuesday, February 27th 2024.
Shƍgun is a historical drama based on James Clavell's novel, focusing on English sailor John Blackthorne's experiences in Japan and the power struggle among various leaders. Pilot John Blackthorne, also known as Anjin-san, is the protagonist of James Clavell's 1975 novel Shƍgun.
The novel is inspired by the real-life story of William Adams, an English sailor who travelled to Japan in the 1600s played a crucial role in Japan's overseas trading, and rose to high rank in the service of the shƍgun. The series follows fictional Englishman John Blackthorne's (Cosmo Jarvis) transforming experiences and political intrigues in feudal Japan in the early 17th century. Shƍgun assigns details to characters that match their historical counterparts and has influenced other works, such as video games and films.
Tumblr media
Hiroyuki Sanada headlines Shƍgun as Lord Yoshii Toranaga. The Japanese actor and world-renowned martial artist is most known for his roles in films such as John Wick: Chapter 4, Bullet Train, Mortal Kombat, 47 Ronin, Army of the Dead and The Last Samurai . Shƍgun isn't his first foray into television either, having appeared in Season 3 of The Last Ship, Seasons 2 and 4 of Westworld, and Season 6 of Lost.
With Shƍgun, for the first time after more than three decades of work in his nearly 60 years of acting, the icon Hiroyuki Sanada took on the project of a lifetime. He received his first-ever producer credit on the show, painstakingly poring over every detail of the production’s lavish, nuanced portrait of feudal Japan. And he found himself giving a performance unlike any he’d given before.
To this end, actor Hiroyuki Sanada was brought on board not only to play the lead role of wise, strategic Lord Yoshii Toranaga, but also as an executive producer. Sanada, a major star in his native Japan, has enormous experience in period dramas there.
Tumblr media
The main cast of Shƍgun also features Cosmo Jarvis, British actor playing the lead in the series, which was shot over 11 months in Vancouver. Jarvis featured in Ridley Scott’s sci-fi series Raised By Wolves, as well as Peaky Blinders, where he was the tragic, shell-shocked Barney, part of the plot to assassinate Oswald Mosley.
Cosmo Jarvis, as John Blackthorne, his bestial and brooding, vibe couldn’t be any more different from Richard Chamberlain’s slickness. When John Blackthorne’s beleaguered ship drifts into a Japanese harbour where his ailing crew are taken hostage, he finds himself first used as a pawn in the local power struggles, before being appointed a samurai complete with his own army.
Tumblr media
Anna Sawai (Monarch: Legacy of Monsters) as Toda Mariko, Tadanobu Asano (Thor) as Kashigi Yabushige, Hiroto Kanai as Kashigi Omi, Takehiro Hira (Gran Turismo) as Ishido Kazunari, Shinnosuke Abe (13 Assassins) as Toda Buntaro. Moeka Hoshi as Usami Fuji, Tokuma Nishioka as Toda "Iron Fist" Hiromatsu, Yasunari Takeshima (Silence) as Muraji, Yuki Kura as Yoshii Nagakado, Fumi Nikaido as Ochiba No Kata, Tommy Bastow (EastEnders) as Father Martin Alvito, Yuka Kouri as Kiku, Yoriko Dƍguchi as Kiri No Kata, and Ako (30 Rock) as Daiyoin / Lady Iyo.
Tumblr media
Shƍgun is Epic! Strap yourself in for a wild adventure in feudal Japan. This lavish adaptation of the classic samurai novel is a beautiful, intellectual fare that amply rewards your full attention. But be warned: it’s gruesome from the get-go. Highly recommended if you enjoy top tier drama 🎭
“Shƍgun” is created for television by Rachel Kondo & Justin Marks, with Marks serving as Showrunner and Executive Producer alongside Michaela Clavell, Edward L. McDonnell, Michael De Luca, and Kondo. The series is produced by FX Productions. “SHƌGUN” PREMIERES EXCLUSIVELY ON DISNEY+ IN THE UK AND IRELAND TODAY 27th FEBRUARY 2024.

Kinuyo Tanaka in The Life of Oharu (Kenji Mizoguchi, 1952)
Cast: Kinuyo Tanaka, Tsukie Matsuura, Ichiro Sugai, Toshiro Mifune, Toshiaki Konoe, Kiyoko Tsuji, Hisako Yamane, Jukichi Uno, Eitaro Shindo, Akira Oizumi, Kyoko Kusajima, Masao Shimizu, Daisuke Kato. Screenplay: Kenji Mizoguchi, Yoshikata Yoda, based on a novel by Saikaku Ihara. Cinematography: Yoshimi Hirano. Production design: Hiroshi Mizutani. Film editing: Toshio Goto. Music: Ichiro Saito. 
Oharu (Kinuyo Tanaka) is by turns a lover, a concubine, a courtesan, a servant, a wife, a prostitute, and a nun, which in the 17th-century Japan of Kenji Mizoguchi's film is almost everything a woman could possibly be. But Tanaka's great performance individualizes Ohara, keeping her from just being a representative figure, a stand-in for Woman. Over the course of the film, Oharu suffers almost every indignity that could be inflicted on her: At the court in Kyoto where she is a lady in waiting, she falls in love with a page, Katsunosuke (Toshiro Mifune), but when their affair is discovered, she and her parents are expelled and he is beheaded. One day a courtier for a powerful feudal lord comes to the village where they are exiled: The lord is in need of an heir, and his wife is barren. Oharu fits his rather exacting specifications to the letter, so she is brought to his palace where she bears him a son, but she's not allowed to nurse the child and is expelled from the household by his jealous wife. She goes to work as a courtesan to pay off the debts incurred by her greedy father (Ichiro Sugai), takes a job as maid to a woman who suspects her of sleeping with her husband, marries a man who is killed by robbers, and becomes a Buddhist nun but is expelled from the temple for supposedly seducing a man who was actually trying to rape her. Years pass and she loses her beauty and now walks the streets to earn money to survive, but she is subjected to scorn and mockery as a "goblin cat" by a man leading a group of young pilgrims. Hope dawns when she is summoned to meet her son, who has succeeded his father as lord, but it turns out that the officials in the court really want to cover up the fact that their lord's mother has been a prostitute, so she runs away after only a brief and distant glimpse of him. At the end she wanders the streets as an itinerant nun receiving alms in exchange for prayers -- her prostitution is now spiritual rather than physical. It's easy to take a synopsis like this and dismiss the story as "lachrymose as a soap opera," and "a reverse Horatio Alger adventure," as a particularly obtuse New York Times review did when The Life of Oharu was first released in the United States in 1964. It is neither of those things, of course. Even the Times reviewer was struck by Tanaka's performance, Mizoguchi's direction, and Yoshimi Hirano's cinematography, without understanding how or why these elevate the story into art. The story comes from a 17th-century novel by Saikaku Ihara, The Life of an Amorous Woman, a work far more erotic and picaresque than the melancholy screenplay Mizoguchi and co-screenwriter Yoshikata Yoda derived from it. The Life of Oharu is unremittingly grim -- it put me in mind of the novels of Thomas Hardy, whose characters suffer more than seems absolutely necessary for the author to make his point about the workings of fate. But the film is not about suffering; it's about strength, and women's strength in particular.

War of Shadow Realm ~ Origins of the Ink Demon Chapter 4 Pt.7 (1/2) ~
Mifune : So, how did you manage to get on aboard the ARK?
Black Star : I heard about the whole thing. The Ohkuboverse was a facade for Shadow Realm all along. It was absolutely the reason of where'd the Evil Forces come from, nothing but a diversion set up by Demon Vibe. And now I finally understand that we drowned in Shinra's lies and made us like puppets on a strings and became nothing but stubborn people to think we're heroes. We were all led astray by that imposter, who thought to be Maka Albarn, but it wasn't that what she appeared to be, It's Inky Albarn, a demon in disguise, fooled us all to think we were her best friends and she was only using us for the sake of heroism.
Tsubaki : ....?
Mifune : ....
Hibana : ....
[If What You Say is True - Jun Senoue]
Tsubaki : If what you say is true, Black Star. Then I suggest that I didn't meant to be friends with a demon and we never met as children, so that is why the world of Soul Eater was meant to be. Living in a world of tales that aren't true. But false ones are.
Black Star : You mean the world of Soul Eater, that we live in isn't really real at all? All nothing but a tale? A fluke to everything that the author had to offer?
Tsubaki : Do as you want with me, Black Star. But I already made up my mind...I decided that...I am breaking up with you.
*Smash SFX : Shield Break*
Black Star : You're...You're dumping me?... for someone that you really cared about? Who was dead for years since then!?
Tsubaki : That's what I promised. The reason that my heart belongs to another man...named Kurohagane.
Mifune : Kurohagane, the Shinobi who was turned into a cyborg? That guy's been dead for years and how did Tsubaki knew that she was planning on dumping him? How is that even possible?
??? : Good. Excellent idea, Tsubaki. That was very impressive. You manage to show how powerful the truth can be.
Mifune : I've been looking for you... Master Xehanort!
[Organization XIII - Yoko Shimomura]
Master Xehanort : What a remarkable display for a couple of Swordsmen and assasins, this was truly a valiant effort of opening your heart to the truth, which you spread. Breaking one's heart can become the key of opening the most important to all hearts, making humans fall victim to darkness. Look at him now, this boy right here you fought alongside has his heart fallen to darkness, and now the light that guides him no longers serving him. And now, he will be an unstoppable heartless that bear witness the true power of darkness for eternity!
Black Star : Tsubaki...How dare you break up with me, Tsubaki?! How dare you?!
Tsubaki : Black Star, you okay? You don't even looks so good. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I just wanted to say that my heart belongs to another.
Mifune : Tsubaki, don't say another! It's useless to resist the pain that he's causing!
Black Star : You know what, Tsubak! Then F*** you, Tsubaki! We're done be heroes, no longer friends, and fed up being with...[yells furiously] AMIGOS!!!
[DBZ SFX : Electricity Cracking+Powering Up]
Black Star : You think you're so smart to break up with me, is that what you feel. I've worked my life as a hero to protect the legacy that was created in the Ohkuboverse! And you wanted to destroy it, do you? Well then...[Shifts in a demonic voice] I WON'T ALLOW IT! AND THAT IS WHY...THAT LOVE SUCKS BALLS!!!
[Anger Infinite - Fumie Kumatani]
Tsubaki : B-But, Black Star I--*ZAP* Yeouch! This power, it's darkness all over you, isn't it?
Master Xehanort : [chuckles] This is truly the best thing in the Ohkuboverse for 1000 years in the making. Shinra, that devilsh fool of a hero, this was his reward for the creation of your world, allowing him to die at the hands of the Time Eater that killed his beloved Iris, and now, [to Black Star] beloved ones like him could no longer reach to his voice of the light itself, he gave his own heart and soul to darkness and ended up of becoming the winged Heartless, Shadow Star. The one responsible for the deaths of the Hoshi Clan and responsible for the murder of your brother.
Tsubaki : Xehanort...you...you...[determined, furiously] YOU FOOLISH MAD MAN! I WILL STRIKE YOU DOWN AND DESTROY YOUR FOUL DARK HEART THAT EVERYTHING I'VE GOT! YOU HAD ME FOOLED EVERYONE! YOU DOOMED MY ENTIRE LIFE FROM THE START! YOU PLANNED THIS FROM THE BEGINNING DIDN'T YOU?!
Hibana : Oh, you are so dead right now, villainous bastard! Time for me to cut your heart into pieces! You may have the fooled the human race, but it's your turn to be killed or be killed! It's gonna be a while to face judgement!
Axel : Mastsr Xehanort, so, you're the one that is responsible for all of this, huh? Looks like I finally knew who the real deal is. Ya big oaf!
Ventus : We've should've know it was you that staged the whole Soul World thing, didn't I?
[Brave Fight - Kenichi Tokoi]
Mifune : Why I don't believe it! It's the guys that took down the real Gorgon Sisters, the witch trio that tried to put the planet in danger, it's them from the incident! But who are they with?
Ventus : Long time no see, Soul World weapon, or should I say " human hero"? Remember we helped Ashley and friend taking down the real Gorgon Witch Sisters?
Tsubaki : You are Ventus and Axel! The members of Organization XIII!
Axel : And that's not all, we got a new friend that is joining us and is quite a Keyblade wielder to myself I'd say that. Got it memorized? This is the one that took down Shaula Gorgon's doppelganger in the country. Everyone, meet our friend, Xion!
Hibana: Xion? Who's Xion?
(Xion unhoods herself to reveal her face)
Hibana : Oh, right. It's a girl.
Xion : Glad that you all fought I missed this one? Cause I'm here to take down a heartless that will eventually destroy the whole planet in darkness. It would be a miracle to take this sucker down! I won't give up to a fight against heartless.
Tsubaki : Glad that you can say that, cause we can help you out!
Hibana : Count me in!
Mifune : I'm joining with you too!
Angela Leon : And don't forget about me!
Tsubaki : You're that I girl that Mifune saved you before!
Angela Leon : That's detective Angela to you, Lady! I've been working with the force for a long time!
Tsubaki : So, Angela. You're telling me that you're with Majo Detective Force the entire time! Ashley and Kimial knew that everything in Soul World has been a major fluke so that we can finally into the truth. But turns out the Gorgon Witch Sisters were fools to the heartless for their selves! I've always wanted to help you guys out! So, do you trust me?
Tsubaki : [thinking]....[determined] Of course, I can trust you.
Axel : Now you're talking my language! Alrighty! Let's go take down this bad boy! Together with Teamwork!
