Blackstar - 5th anni - team B and W's stories - summary

warning: I use GT to read the stories.

Team B

Mizuki decided that team B's performance would include all members for this anniversary. He even asked for Kei's approval.

However, it was a unilateral decision. Hinata got super excited he could perform with the team. Rico and Heath were not happy at all. They said to mizuki the day before that they disagreed with it.

Kongou was also shocked because it was the first time he heard about that. Ran accepted the decision because Mizuki was the leader, but that doesn't mean he actually agreed with that.

Heath tried to explain to Mizuki that making decisions like that was not ok. Mizuki didn't listen. He said he was the one who called the shots.

Rico feels unmotivated as his role is severely affected by Hinata's new role. Hinata even tried to ask for some advice at some point, but Rico didn't want to talk to him. He told Hinata to ask Mizuki as he was the one who caused all this.

After one of their rehearsals, akira appeared there and saw they were discussing about something. Most of the B members told akira that that was none of his business. Mizuki told him to get lost as he is not part of B.

Somehow, they managed to perform with 6 members. But only Hinata and Mizuki were happy after the show. The other members were frustrated with the situation but they avoided discussing that in front of Saki. Mizuki thinks the problem is solved, after all, they are friends.

Team W

Kokuyou talked to Saki briefly. He asked how she was feeling. He said there are things about Starless he can't comprehend himself even after 5 years.

When Team W was rehearsing, Kokuyou told akira he didn't need to help B any longer. He will tell kei about his decision. Akira agreed.

Taiga complained he was tired after the rehearsal and akira teased him.

Once they finished rehearsing, kokuyou remembered some events that happened in the last 5 years.

Some of the flashbacks:

kokuyou talking to saki after kei told them she was going to be part of Starless.

When Nekome got injured and kokuyou had no idea nekome went back to town.

when saki apologized for not remembering about her past. He said it was not her fault and that he was not going to keep asking her questions about that because that could cause her trouble.

Back to the present, kokuyou says he also doesn't remember things that happened to him in the past, like the reason he got that scar. He seems determined to find out about his past, saki's past, and the mysteries surrounding starless.

Next, kokuyou, akira, kei, and rico were talking in private. Kokuyou let kei know that he allowed akira to help B because of Heath's condition. As heath seems to be stable right now, that is no longer necessary.

Kei asked if it wasn't better to call mizuki as he is the leader. But akira mentioned that mizuki doesn't want him in team B anymore.

Kei then agrees with their decision. He also tells rico that whichever problem B is facing right now, they should solve it themselves.

Rico thanks akira for helping them and leaves. Akira says that it's not as if he had done much though.

In Chapter 4, kokuyou asked Taiga if he had seen Yakou. Taiga didn't have an answer for that. But he asked kokuyou why he wanted to know that. Kokuyou mentions that it is convenient for Haseyama to have someone like Yakou helping him at the store. But things may change now that Yakou is just a cast member now.

When Taiga is alone, he says that Kokuyou's intuition may be correct. I couldn't understand if it was about Haseyama and yakou relationship or someone else.

Taiga also mentioned that he would like to know why his brother disappeared for so long.

Takami left the store to call someone. He was informing this mysterious person about what was going on at Starless. He mentioned something about Haseyama.

When he got back to the store, he and Shin were talking about kokuyou. It seems both of them noticed Kokuyou was making some moves but it is unclear if they know what exactly Kokuyou is trying to find out.

After their performance, Shin said he wanted to have a private talk with Kokuyou.

He let Kokuyou know that he and Zakuro were the ones who played the song Blackstar the day Saki collapsed. Shin said he regretted doing that.

He also warned Kokuyou that Iwami is not the guy he thinks he is.

Kokuyou asked Shin if he knew who Saki really was. Shin answered that Saki's memory is the key to the problem. But when he was going to explain how to get that key, he heard some footsteps and they agreed to talk another day.

Before leaving, Shin warned Kokuyou that stepping into the abyss is a dangerous thing to do.

When Kokuyou was alone, he said he was not going to back down and was ready to face the challenge.

[BSTS] Heath Halloween 2024 4* Card Story

cw: discussion of death

Chapter 1 -starless hallway-

-heath suddenly appears and saki bumps into him-

saki: Woah, Heath-san…!?

heath: Ah, sorry about that, Saki. I'm in a bit of a hurry because I ran away.

saki: What, you ran away? From who?

heath: Kongou. He wants me to help with sampling sweets. Lately he's even started barging into the voice training room to get me… Do you want to run away with me?

-starless outdoor balcony, day-

heath: I doubt he’ll find us here.

saki: Are you sure it's ok to run away from him? If Kongou-san is looking for you then…

heath: It's fine. I’m sure one of the others can help him. It's not like I can give very constructive opinions on the food anyway. 

Saki, look up there.

saki: Up…?

-blue sky-

heath: You can see the sky from here.

-balcony-

heath: When I feel like being alone, I come to look at it here.

saki: From here the sky looks even higher than usual for some reason.

heath: That may be true… The further underground you are, the more it would seem that way.

saki: By underground are you referring to Starless?

heath: Yeah, I guess so. Along with our Halloween show. Since we're performing a story about skeletons in their graves. On halloween night they all emerge from the ground and throw a party. “Nice to meetcha from 6 feet under” and all that.

saki: 6 feet under…?

heath: Yeah, it's the depth of the hole that's dug to bury a corpse. 1 foot is around 30 centimetres, so 6 feet would be about 180 centimetres. I’m 176cm tall, so it would be a little bit deeper than my height. 

saki: That's a really deep hole to dig…

heath: It's so things like rain and wind can't reach the body, there are a lot of different reasons for it being that deep. Meaning that 6 feet is the distance between life and death… Because in reality, once you're dead you can't come back to life. Skeletons won't ever see the light of day again.

saki: Heath-san…

heath: That's why this show is an off the rails dream that only lasts for the duration of Halloween night. Since it's a dream, I want you to have a fun one rather than a bad one. So, look forward to it, Saki.

-

Chapter 2 -voice training room-

-saki steps into room-

heath: Saki, what's the matter?

saki: I was looking for you, I wanted to wish you luck before the show. I’m really excited to watch Team B’s Halloween performance!

heath: I see… I’m glad I got to see your face. Thank you for coming to find me.

I won't make any compromises, I’ll rap to make sure you enjoy yourself. That's always been the case, before, now and from now on, that fact will never change.

-time pass, starless stage-

-cg

heath: “Nice to meetcha from 6 feet under, let's start another crazy party. Even though you’ve got no insides you also look like bones. 

BOOOOOMB destroy it all

BOOOOOMB all the shame

BOOOOOMB until all that remains is a frame of bones.”

-time pass, after show-

heath: –Did you enjoy the crazy Halloween dream?

saki: Of course! It has already been an unforgettable Halloween.

heath: I’m happy to hear that. Oh right, Saki, trick or treat?

saki: Huh? Oh, right, candy…! Um, I don't have any on me at the moment…

heath: It's ok, I could already tell. Here, take this. It's a meringue cookie that I had Kongou prepare, it's shaped like a chicken.

saki: Is that ok…? I should be the one giving you candy, not the other way around.

heath: Yeah, I want you to have it. If anyone else says trick or treat to you, give them that. I don't want anyone pulling pranks on you while I’m not by your side.

saki: U-understood. But… This chicken shaped cookie is so cute, I’d feel bad giving it away.

heath: I’m glad you like it. Roosters announce that morning has arrived, right? Whether it's a bad dream or not, no matter what kind of dream it is, morning will always come. The light of day will always be waiting for you.

[crestfallenwanderlust]

KONGOU YESSSS

[crystalelemental]

I feel silly asking you this, but can you do a characterization analysis for Trace? I feel silly asking because A: you haven't played Let's Go, and B: I think I know what you're going to say about most of his team members (Marowak and his starter are obvious, Vileplume and Rapidash are third in line for BST for their types among the original 151 behind Blue and Green's Exeggutor and Victreebel and Arcanine/Ninetales, but I can't quite grasp why Slowbro's there.

Sure. I'll do it. Honestly, let's see if I know anything I'm talking about.

Mercifully, Trace's team is identical between versions. I'm specifically using his rematch, because...prior, he only has three attacks. A Champion only has three attacks per Pokemon. I promise I will take no further shots at Let's Go.

The Lead (Pidgeot) What I really enjoy about this is that his mega is his lead. That feels very distinct from others, who would set their mega as their ace, or at least late in the game. Trace leading with the mega implies a sense of just going at everything with all he's got. There is no warmup, no assessment of the opponent's strength, it's just going full throttle out the gate, try to keep up.

That said, without knowing Let's Go's movesets, it's odd that his best STAB attacks are Quick Attack and Air Slash. These are fairly low BP, so despite that immediate presence at the outset...his approach is not particularly offensive. His moves are priority, flinch rate, and obvious coverage for Steel that would block him, with U-Turn to flee as needed. Which is quite defensive.

At least in my estimation, this is someone who is trying to show off, but isn't exactly reckless. He's aiming for a big display to put himself at an early advantage, but he's not leaving himself open to your counterattacks. He's cautious, perhaps even worried, about letting his opponent see past him.

The Ace (Raichu/Jolteon) It's interesting that Jolteon is the Eevee form he chooses. Makes my life easy I suppose. I know it's because he already had a Fire and Water type, but still. It's neat.

The big thing that stands out to me is Thunder. Thunderbolt is the more conservative effort, compared to Thunder, and is what you'd expect for someone leading with such a defensive play. Their coverage also includes a really risky move, in Iron Tail/Pin Missile. Brick Break/Shadow Ball are more standard, with Quick Attack being priority, despite being so naturally fast. ...do his starters have the same boosted stats thing your Eevee/Pikachu do? I guess not because they evolve.

As the finisher, this feels, to me, a bit more like desperation. It's aiming for clean OHKOs but risking everything on that swing missing. It feels more "nothing left to lose" than someone aiming to make a safe comeback. It's a sensible choice when you're down that far. When you're on your last, swing with all you've got, and keep every advantage in your corner you can. Yeah you're super fast, but if you need to get a sudden shot in, Quick Attack will do it.

Offensive (Rapidash/Marowak) Marowak is the more obvious one. Earthquake standard, Fire and Thunder cover the typical Grass, Ice, and Water weaknesses of Ground types, Brick Break is just a lot of super-effective coverage.

Rapidash has Flare Blitz, which is self-sacrificial, but its coverage is super awkward. Drill Run and Poison Jab aren't...intrinsically bad, but they're not necessary for Rapidash, they don't do anything for it. Its weaknesses aren't hit any easier, nor does it hit things that threaten it. And again, there's a Quick Attack in there.

Marowak is your most direct, perfect coverage offense. And it's slow. Rapidash has whatever's biggest, but is super fast. I think, taking all of this together, suggests that Trace is someone who's going to push really hard for an early lead, roll the dice when he's down to the wire, but his core is someone balanced. Rapidash fills in what it can because it's quick and can get first strike, while Marowak considers its matchups and tries to cover what it would need to cover. Offensively, these are about as good as we get, without putting some special attacks on Rapidash and aiming for Sunny Day strats. Which would be better offensive coverage! But the lack of that kind of effect suggests either simplicity, or that he's considering a bigger picture, given his Water type, and his Grass type would be even worse off. Although...

Defensive (Vileplume/Slowbro) Vileplume is an excellent choice, 10/10. Don't know how he got that version exclusive in both games but sure. Its defensive backbone is Reflect, which is a fun means of protecting the team at large from physical attacks. The rest is offense, including Sludge Bomb, Dazzling Gleam coverage, and...Solarbeam. Buddy. You should've run Sunny Day on Rapidash.

Slowbro has Light Screen as its defensive support, alongside Surf, Psychic, and Blizzard. Interesting to note, neither heals. Which is...odd. Boost defense so you can't be beaten down easily, but nothing to sustain yourself. I read this as someone who's not about to keep trying at something that isn't working. There's no point to healing and keeping in if you can't beat them, getting caught in The Loop. Just push your way through. He's willing to play his cards directly and make his move, but he's not going to languish on it.

Fun to note: both use the shield that boosts their worse defensive stat. Vileplume has better Sp Def, while Slowbro has better Def, so they're using the right shield for their weaker defensive stat. And it's here I think we can make an assertion.

I've done a lot of competitive in my day, and one of the hardest things I have to think about sometimes is your team's role. Specifically, I am someone who aims to balance defenses in this way. Sometimes it works. But often, you get more mileage on a defensive backbone by playing to a strength than a covering a weakness. And this feels like what Trace is after here.

Final Thoughts Trace is someone who aims to be balanced, and to make each individual Pokemon as good as it can be. This can come at the cost of overall team cohesion, however, as his consistent offensive Pokemon are slow and have no defensive merit, while his fast Pokemon are wasting coverage on ensuring they can drop priority. He runs highly inaccurate moves at times, sacrificing consistency for risky throws that may not be necessary. He aims to take an early lead, but by lockdown rather than ruthless offense. He aims to stick a finish, but through risky plays that could easily seal his fate. He's almost entirely offensive, only playing defensive for the sake of shields that prevent damage, but won't aim to heal off what he takes or extend the fight in a way he can't win. He's a simple, direct boy whose focus is pushing through and doing his best on an individual basis. I just think...well...

He's a worthy successor to Red. He has really strong picks, he has a generally sane approach, but counterpicking him is pretty easy. It's mostly raw offenses, a couple defensive tools, but ultimately, a lot of inconsistencies as a cohesive unit, in favor of maximum individual potential. The risks he takes are calculated, but man is he bad at math. Which is a little unfair, he is run by AI and AI doesn't switch. So maybe he's making the better call after all.
