The question. Of the century

(Edit: please I am begging everyone to actually reblog their thoughts instead of just leaving them in the tags 😭)

[fearofevrything]

Here's the Bacterial Contamination cover I was talking about earlier! I'd already recorded everything, I've just been too busy to upload it. I've also got Six Trillion Years and Overnight Story somewhere that I can upload, but I'm not sure how long it's gonna be before I can get back to working on things regularly, so I may keep that one on the back burner for now.

[kindaasrikal]

I like to think the ninja casually have elemental accidents. Specifically when they first found them.

Zane sometimes freezes the water pipes. He also is not allowed on laundry duty anymore, everyone is sick of getting frozen popsicles instead of their clothes.

Cole accidentally creates sinkholes in the training yard and for some reason its always Pixal falling down them.

Everyone has some form of a lightning scar because of Jay.

Lloyd creates bombs out of his hands by accident. No one hands him things anymore.

Nya is horrible to have around winter because when she’s in a bad mood, the snow around them turns mushy and gross and somehow it always end up somewhere uncomfortable.

Kai is constantly on fire during the summer. Literally. His hair is on fire. It’s why no one can sleep below or on top of him with the bunk beds, they like having a home and would rather not collapse in the middle of the night.

Morro accidentally makes things float when he’s feeling any strong emotion, and be careful when around an excited Euphrasia, she will and has accidentally blasted people into walls (Wyldefyre’s broken ribs is proof)

Wyldefyre bursts into flames when angry and sweats too much, no body wants to touch her hands because of it.

Sora has made evil robots more then once and calls them her babies despite them actively trying to murder Lloyd and her, she also has dismantled a bunch of important tech by accident.

Arin and Pixal are sick of it, and Pixal is very much tempted to create safe venge stone bracelets for these lot because if another of her damn creations break no one will be safe.

DRAGONS RISING SPOILERS and tap for gud quality :,>

.

I know that everyone has finished s1 p2, but I put the warning just in case

.

"So... Let me get this right. You're the legendary Green Ninja, leader of a group of elite fighters with god-tier powers, son of the evil itself, nephew and student of a thousands years old man, grandson of the guy that created our world and many more, and now, one of the seven dragons source decided to give you a portion of its powers making you so strong that you were able to stabilize reality itself?!

"Hum... Yeah, pretty much. Why do you ask?..."

There's no way that they didn't have this conversation the next day after they saved the world (If you don't know what is around Lloyd's face, that's cereal and his smol beard :])

I hope that I described the lore correctly cuz MY GOD, ANIME PROTAGONISTS LOOK LIKE WEAK FUCKS ASIDE LLOYD'S LORE AND POWERS AND ITS KINDA HARD TO GET IT RIGHT FROM MEMORY

Smol hc for Sora: Her cat ears are robotic, and their movement depends on Sora's expression/mod

The specificity of 情

I'm very particular with identifying that Ichiji, Niji and Yonji only had their "情" removed (analysis part 1, part 2), and one of the reasons is because of this scene:

I personally choose to really isolate 情 as either sympathy or empathy rather than a catch-all "emotion" because the above scene shows that from the very beginning Judge never asked for all positive emotions to be removed. I also do not believe that he wanted them to be mechanical like robots or just following orders like the soldiers.

The fact that he wasn't perceiving the kids' very obvious affection as there being something wrong with them seems to mean that the ability to feel "some form of affection" was never meant to be erased. If he had thought that something was wrong, he'd have been surprised by this, like how he was surprised when the boys were laughing at their impending doom in Whole Cake.

The only counter I can think of is if there is actually a scene where the scientists went "Uh, sir, there's something wrong here" that sensei never showed us because he wanted to keep it as a surprise.

In which case, right now it probably means that if the brothers had been told to treat Sanji well, I'm pretty convinced they can come around and care for him just as much, even with broken emotions. I believe that the Whole Cake escape is a possible proof of that.

They came to help because they finally understood that Sanji is not useless, not a failure, and not beneath them. They helped because they do have the ability to care, they just didn't see the reason to feel that way for Sanji before. If they were able to learn this as kids, I believe they would've been able to get along just fine.

They didn't like that Sanji is different from them, but that can be changed by teaching them why being different doesn't mean "bad". With lacking sympathy, they might still laugh at Sanji if he falls and cries or something, and call him names every now and then, but otherwise won't be as terrible to him.

Sure, maybe I'm super wrong and there'll be some surprise reveal that actually Sora's medicine worked on all of them or something. It's just that there is still also room for the possibility that even if this is how the modification was intended the whole time, it doesn't mean they are devoid of the ability for at least affection of some sort.

I wish we'd seen how their interaction were like before the trainings began, it might help answer more definitively. For now it's very either/or, and I'm just analysing based on my own perspective.

This also doesn't address or solve Sanji's problem with it, since he doesn't want to be merciless and cruel even to enemies. Even if the modification never removed the ability to love he still wouldn't like it. That's a completely separate problem.

all you got to do is sit there and look pretty: loa edition

DISCLAIMER: this was written before a series of realisations, the main point still stands but the subconscious mind does not exist. it is simply awareness. let go and let god.

one thing i have noticed, even in myself, is that we have this need to keep doing something. i need to keep affirming, i need to keep forcing myself into a state, i need to keep focusing on my thoughts or else it won’t manifest. all these thoughts have a common link, a fear of not manifesting, or rather, the 3D not conforming. 

it’s not our fault. we have been primed to think this way. work this hard and you’ll get (x). this is not the way it’s supposed to be. with the law, we break free. 

i need you to know that it’s okay if you’re consciously not thinking from your desire all the time. it’s okay that you don’t feel okay with entering another state if this one is too traumatic for you. relax and know the you on the outside, does not manifest.

who manifests then?

our inner self; our subconscious mind. our subconscious mind is us, but unlike our conscious selves, it is also the Universal Mind, meaning it knows all, it has all knowledge and power stored inside it. our job is to give the subconscious mind a job. as the conscious mind, we hold the key to decide to let what the subcon should manifest and not. we are the guard, we don’t manifest. 

all we really have to do is be still and let God, and by God i do not mean some external being, i mean our subconscious mind; our true self. letting go and detaching doesn’t mean you will stop caring about what you’re manifesting, it simply means that you know that the subconscious will handle it for you. because the subconscious IS you, it’s a robot that only listens to YOUR command. it cannot be influenced by any other force. 

experience 

for the past few days, when i made the unfavourable circumstances post, i was feeling so incredibly awful. i felt i had no reason to live, because i thought me as the conscious sora, was responsible for changing my life. while that is true to an extent, all i have to do is give an order. i told my subconscious mind that night to fix everything for me because i was tired and the next day, all the things that were causing me distress got solved. the next day i had an even better day, because the subconscious really fixed the things causing me stress. life was peaceful again.

it was then i realised that i have been too attached with doing things right, when all i had to do was sit there and look pretty while my subconscious does the work. 

another success happened just now! my browser froze and i didnt save this post. i panicked for a second then i was like “sora you just wrote a post about your subcon fixing things”; so i told my subcon “hey man fix this pls” and it did! lol browser is back to normal which is how ur seeing this post rn

what if my subconscious doesn’t listen?

anything that happens regarding these things is a direct reflection of you. inner creates outer, not the other way around. so, any failure is not because the technique failed, it’s because you haven’t changed self yet. and what changes self? persistence. you must keep persisting because the subconcious HAS NO CHOICE but to listen to you. if it ‘doesn’t’, DON’T ACCEPT IT. 

persistence

And He said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Luke 11:5-9

in this verse that neville also referenced, we can see that the man did not give up. in fact, importunity means: the act of making intrusions, being unrelenting, consistent. unrelenting, he never took no for an answer. he kept going and going and going until the man decided to give him bread. do not take no for an answer. do not settle. even if the door seems shut, you will ALWAYS be the key to open it; there is no other choice. keep telling your subconscious mind that you are rich, you are beautiful, you are everything and your subconscious mind will have no choice but to reflect that onto the 3D because that is its job.

excerpt from power of awareness:

“THERE ARE three principal characters in this quotation, you and the two friends mentioned.

The first friend is a desired state of consciousness .

The second friend is a desire seeking fulfillment.

Three is the symbol of wholeness, completion.

Loaves symbolize substance.

The shut door symbolizes the senses which separate the seen from the unseen.

Children in bed means ideas that are dormant.

Inability to rise means a desired state of consciousness cannot rise to you, you must rise to it.

Importunity means demanding persistency, a kind of brazen impudence.

Ask, seek, and knock mean assuming the consciousness of already having what you desire.

Thus the scriptures tell you that you must persist in rising to (assuming) the consciousness of your wish already being fulfilled. The promise is definite that if you are shameless in your impudence in assuming that you already have that which your senses deny, it shall be given unto you – your desire shall be attained.”

Now it feels like we’re celebrating the 25th Anniversary 😍

This new art for an upcoming collaboration with Karatez is just simply stunning. The theme is (very obviously) “idol” and I personally love the futuristic pop concept they’ve added to the outfits. Although exact date and merch details haven’t been shared yet, they shared a few layouts of the key art.

The outfits are also great this time around because of their little references to the partner Digimon’s Perfect evolutions. Listing them down one by one as always.

Taichi: The blue markings on his jacket plus robotic arm markings on his right sleeve are a nice shoutout to MetalGreymon.

Yamato: We see WereGarurumon’s pattern on his jacket and a few belts wrapped around his hands that captures the punk-grunge vibe of WereGarurumon well. It may be Yamato’s affinity to music, but he looks extremely in his element in this art, it’s not often we see him so raring to go in official merch art (he’s more of a soft smiles guy usually).

Sora: Her gloves and the red bandana on her arm coupled with the feather in her hair are clear shoutouts to Garudamon. It’s kinda funny to me that being the girl who’s crest is a heart symbol, she’s making a victory sign while Mimi and Hikari are both making different types of finger hearts 😆

Koushiro: Honestly they were really subtle with the reference for him and even twitter couldn’t exactly answer my doubts so I’m gonna have to see Koushiro stans step up and answer whether the reference in his outfit limited to the markings on his jacket resembling AtlurKabuterimon’s chest?

Mimi: I think she’s the one with the most easy to catch references, her skirt resembles Lilymon’s and her hair tie looks like Lilymon’s flower canon. I love that she’s making the big finger heart because it’s just so very Mimi. If Yamato suits the passionate side of being an idol, Mimi is definitely meant for the cutesy visual vibe that can make fans go crazy over just a wink and a smile.

Jou: He’s wearing three belt like bracelets around one wrist like Zudomon which makes his a minimal reference though not as subtle as Koushiro’s. I do feel that they could’ve done a bit more with his look, maybe add a horn to the side of his headset? I also can’t wait to see the full art for each kid individually cuz I do think him and Yamato are wearing similar bellbottom pants!

Takeru: The feather on his headset and the yellow suspended straps are a decent reference to HolyAngemon. Considering that they wanted to keep the outfits limited to one colour per kid, I think this is the best way they could slip in the reference, though I wouldn’t have minded a few rings.

Hikari: The feather on the headset, the corset-ish belt around her waist and her gloves are very nice references to Angewomon. Keeping Hikari’s innocence as a kid intact while referencing a Digimon that is undoubtedly considered one of the most sexiest mons in the franchise would have been really tough and I salute the illustrators for coming up with this design! I also like the OG Korean finger heart she’s making, such a cute look on her.

The cherry on top are each of the Digimon partners holding supportive cheering goods for their kids. Piyomon’s love for Sora goes hard with her big name banner. Meanwhile, Agumon and Palmon kept it simple with haoris, Tailmon and Patamon too decided to go the simple route with light sticks. Gabumon, Gomamon and Tentomon seem normal from afar with their hand fans but when you get a closer look on all the hearts around Koushiro’s name on Tentomon’s fan, you know the three spent time making those themselves.

All in all, a pretty amazing illustration to be able to get merch of!

But wait that’s not all, andGallery has also teased a future cafe collaboration with Digimon Adventure on their twitter, more info will be announced on 19th Feb but they did share a preview of what to expect.

Leftover sales are open for @twosidesfanzine! Check out the store for a variety of bundle and à la carte options featuring SoKai and Rokunami.

I wrote this diary entry from Roxas’s POV about he and Naminé visiting San Fransokyo and meeting the Big Hero 6 team. It was fun showing how far Roxas had come and digging into his thoughts more. Also, I can't believe the movie is ten years old as of this month! Happy anniversary to Big Hero 6 ❤️

A big thank you to @nosieposie and @amyhayanora for making the graphics, @scoobysnack1107 for doing the layout, and Ferya for creating the Superhero Iced Tea recipe ❤️ I was also inspired by the art by @nosieposie for the world visit 🏙️🏮

Text of the diary entry is below the cut:

Day 1107 San Fransokyo

Naminé and I visited San Fransokyo for the first time today. She was pretty excited and got a kick out of sketching the different sights, especially the floating koi and the cherry trees lining the streets. I’m still not used to being in a place with this many people. The World That Never Was was always pretty empty except for the other Org members, and Twilight Town is, well, a town. But it’s nice to be in this big city with all these possibilities.

The iced tea we tried was pretty good. The guy added lemon juice, and the entire tea changed colors. Butterfly pea flowers are what makes it do that I think? Naminé got the recipe from him. She wants to try painting the exact color of the tea, both before and after lemon juice, when we’re home.

It was fun meeting the Big Hero 6 gang. Baymax has no business being that huggable for such a kickass robot. The gang all had some funny stories about Sora too. When they heard I could use a Keyblade, they gave me a headset and said I was welcome to join the team anytime. Maybe I’ll take them up on that.

When I started writing in my diary all those days ago, I had nothing to say. It’s the opposite now. I guess that’s what comes with having a heart, and the company’s pretty great too. I’ll have to plan something special for Naminé when we get home.

First Year Funfacts

Sebek goes quiet and peaceful in the rain, especially a good thunderstorm

Deuce knows a lot about tea and had a few custom blends that get mailed to him regularly

Ace has 3 siblings, two older brothers he calls Jack and Ocho and one younger sister named Regina. the sibling he has that no one ever really talks about his is decade older half sibling, Folly.

Sora refuses to eat most veggies cooked, stating he doesn't like them. his mom just boils them all so he doesn't like them cooked until he finds ash roasting some. his favorite veggies made by Ash are roasted brussel sprouts and sauteed asparagus.

Ash's favorite food is passion fruit in twisted wonderland. she'd never and fresh ones before but in TW it's slightly less sweet and has a naturally stronger flavor.

Sebek starts giving Sora one of his favorite apples every time they see each other and it takes Sora weeks to realize why he gets excited whenever he sees Sebek

Ash thinks it's absolutely hilarious that Sebek Pavloved Sora into liking him. this is what gets the verb form of Pavlov into TW.

Ortho is a giant parrot and likes to copy things he hears others say in the same way they said it.

he and Idia both hack into things to see who can do it faster for fun. on occasion Ortho has hacked into things for Ash. he will not do it for anyone else in their friend group.

Ace has called Jamil 'mom' and 'team mom' on more than one occasion. apparently it started with Floyd.

In a burst of anger at Azul once at club, Grim yelled at him 'you're not my dad!' Azul didn't let him forget about it for ages.

Grim only verbally admitted he considers Ash like a mom to him once, right after getting her back from her treatment at STYX. when edged on by Sebek and Ruggie, loudly states he will never see Malleus or Leona has a dad. But they're welcome to try and tempt him! (it's a ploy for fancy tuna)

Epel has also called Vil mom and finds it hilarious that Vil refuses to accept it when he responds to being referred to as mom without fail.

Jack howls sometimes to see who's where, forgetting that his friends are not wolves. however it doesn't stop them from answering. if they can hear him, Ortho, Epel, Deuce, and Sora all answer no matter what. about half the time Sebek, Ash, and Grim will answer. Ace only answers if he's by himself or no one can see him at that moment (he has the best howl out of everyone).

whenever Ash isn't in a mental position to take up leadership of their group, Ace steps up into that older sibling role seamlessly.

at the beginning of their second year, Ortho returns from summer break with a new body entirely, less robotic looking with more functions, and he looks about 14-15 in age. He's the one who designed his new body.

Ash is a minor sugar baby of the other housewardens and thoroughly enjoys it . . . with the exception of Vil and his need for her to have a giant expensive (in Ash's opinion) skin care routine (it's five things across morning and night).

Sebek once accidentally gave Ash an alcohol that's nearly indistinguishable from water that belongs to Lilia. as it turns out, ash has zero alcohol tolerance and spent the entire night as diasomnia giggling at Malleus for being pretty and looking for her faovrite people for cuddles. it ended in the biggest slumber party in NRC's history across pretty much every dorm. (she almost killed Sebek for the hangover.)

Grim can't cook for shit, he's burned water and has been banned from even attempting to cook at both Ramshackle and the main school building.

the others can tell if she went out with Malleus or Leona depending on if she comes back with beads in her hair or a new necklace. Ash cannot figure out for the life of her how they know who she's meeting up with before the date even happens though.

Epel has three piercings in his ears and one nose piercing he rarely wears since getting into NRC for minor fear of Vil giving him a lecture about them.

ear piercings for beastmen are pretty intimate because of how sensitive their ears are. Jack didn't have any before NRC, but got his first ones from Leona after his overblot. Ruggie also got his first piercings from Leona. The earrings in his ears are both a gift and a claim from the prince.

Deuce has a tongue piercing and no one finds out until the first time he and Ace kiss.

Sebek goes hard with a deep scary rumbling purr when you scratch his chin and upper neck of the scales along his back. he does not move when you do that either.

Sora is a pegsus beastman but pegasi have a lot of bird instincts compared to horses which means that the number of times he's perched on top of things and ended up scaring the shit out of people in very high. because he also goes completely quiet when he does that sometimes. Ortho almost shot him once when he scared the shit out of Idia and Ash threw a knife at him the first time he did that in the middle of the night.

one time when there was a small group of students from the Land of the Red Dragon visiting, they were highly impressed by Epel's fruit carving ability. he found of from them that the ability to peel a fruit as close to the peel as possible is seen as a test of how good of a wife a girl will be. it's also common though for parents to show their kids they care with peeled and cut fruit. it causes epel, who has a hard time saying how much people mean to him, to show it with platters of cut and peeled fruit.

if any of them need help or advice with life or relationships, they go to Ash. if any of them need history homework help, they go to Sebek. if they want math help they go to Ace. Ortho rarely ever helps them with homework since he considers it cheating since he has access to the literal internet.

Deuce knows a lot of random fun facts and spends a lot on audio books to listen to while running. he might not understand everything he listens to but he retains the information really well.

Sebek is austistic, Sora is ADHD, Deuce had both dyslexia and dyscalcula, Ash has PTSD and Depression. Ortho hallucinates things sometimes when he runs for too long without taking a sleep cycle (2.5 days. think low battery Baymax on steriods.) Grim has separation anxiety and some basic training as a therapy animal for all of them but mostly Ash. As the only 'normal' member of their group, Ace regularly complains about it but has never once turned them down when they need help.

Ace regularly forgets that Jack is also a 'normal' one because he's one of the quieter ones and doesn't talk about it. Ace will say no while actively helping you. Jack will show he cares in a softer way, solely with actions.

could i perhaps get your ninja race hcs. hand them over now.

anon rjey r not as interesting as u would Think…. they r mostly based in canon with Some Alterations ….

kai & nya as chinese ! fully chinese . both r fluent in it but kai can write it a little better than nya can just because he struggled to find time to properly teach her while raising her and making money

lloyd (being half human and half not-human) as 1/4 chinese & 1/4 japanese and rhen 1/4 oni and 1/4 dragon (seeing as wu and garmadon r chinese and misako is .. well . it’s a japanese name i Think… and the rest is canon compliant .. i imagine since he was a kid he was more connected to his chinese side (being around kai nya & wu !) and probably started learning japanese but then blasted with tomorrows tea and lost the easy learning ability that comes with being a kid so he’s just walking around not knowing it ? probably met harumi (japanese) and tried to impress her with the 7 words he knows how to say .. either that or he knows both because misako probably taught him before he was dropped off at darkleys ? maybe he was taught at a young age and just forgot .. who Knows ….

cole as black .. maybe blasian ? sometimes i like to think he’s got that pakistani blood in Him…. i Know a a south asian when i See one .. whenever i see lily i know that is a pakistani woman . makes sense he is a foodie he’s got the best of both worlds ? or maybe not … I SONR KNOW!!!!! I’m indecisive with my race hcs

zane as robot . No race. sorry Goat … motor oil

and jay … i imagine ed and edna r white as PAPER but jay himself is korean but because he’s adopted he’s totally detached from his culture … my whitewashed pookie . sometimes he goes to korean restaurants and they start speaking to him and he just pretends like he knows What’s being said

but recently i saw someone hc jay as viet and i thought that was super cute too … idk!!!!!! i rhink whatever he may be he definitely tried to connect with it a little more and learn the language and culture but he just keeps On getting Distracted … by the end of crystallized he knows 6 korean words that he learned from binge watching kdramas

but whatever rhe case may be i rhink DR jay (agent walker specifically) rhinks he always knew korean but just forgot it alongside everything else . it will be heartbreak when he finds out

for the newer ninja … arin as mixed ! i rhink half black and half Something else , sora as fully white Sorry sora just give me white vibes . specifically like you know those white queer people . sorry sora stans

and wyldfyre …. probably rhe hardest one but i definitely think south asian!!!!!! most likely .. if not maybe south east asian ? maybe from the philippines ?

[kittydoremi]

My issue with princess elise is that she needs to be rescued several times, she seems to lack agency, her design is beautiful but its so out of place next to Sonic. If she was designed more cartoony like Sonic and was less helpless I believe the fandom would have taken a shine to her more

The helpless princess trope was pretty outdated by 2006.

I agree that the way she was utilized in the story could've been a lot better. The kidnapping was repetitive and wasn't a good look for her. But again, it wasn't an issue with her character, but the overall story. But still, it didn't affect my enjoyment of her character.

Elise didn't do stupid things to get kidnapped, and you see her develop more confidence and agency throughout the story. She even manages to escape twice, and a later capture only takes place because Eggman threatened to harm her people. She selflessly gave herself up, despite hating Eggman's guts, just to save them. I wouldn't call that "lacking agency".

I'm not going to say a character is bad just because they fall into the damsel trope (I also happen to be a Princess Peach fan as well) as long as that's not all their character is. A Sonic character doesn't have to be kicking butt and taking down robots in order for me to like them, and it's clear Elise isn't a fighter. She's more of a support character than anything, shown in her levels with Sonic.

Elise has a clear character that develops throughout the story and has a meaningful bond with Sonic. And in the end, she ends up saving him. Usually it's the hero who kisses the Princess back to life, but here it's reversed. And tbh this game doesn't get enough credit for that.

As for the artstyle contrast, it's very subjective. I don't mind it, in fact I like it. The realistic/Final Fantasy style kind of reminds me a bit of Kingdom Hearts, with Sora and the other humans standing next to Goofy and Donald. But I can understand why someone wouldn't like it and find it unappealing, and the game definitely could've benefited from a more cartoony or anime style so it could appeal to more people.

Soul of Chogokin GX-113 Gundam Tryon 3

Considering Gundam Build Fighters Try isn't to most popular season of its subline, it's very easy to argue that Tryon 3 is the most popular aspect of that season... except maybe Fumina. Anyway, the Mobile Suits of GBFT were very Super Robot in performance and combat, but Tryon 3 took that to the next step by also referencing them with its aesthetics. Tryon 3 was also easily recognizable as being based off the ZZ Gundam, while most other Gunpla had more original designs which was a common complaint among fans at the time. But despite its popularity, it has only had ever gotten that original kit and a few hard-to-get color and plastic variants, so to have its second iteration be the full-on high-end Super Robot treatment is a welcome surprise.

The Good: While I've heard a ton of good things about the line, this is my first foray into SoC. As the name suggests, there are a lot of metal parts throughout, primarily in the legs but quite a bit is used to reinforce joints. As such, it is very heavy and very solid. It also has a good range of posability, though gentle pressure should be applied when moving the tougher metal joints.

As with the original, Tryon 3 is capable of splitting into Riku Tryon, Sora Tryon, and Umi Tryon. They all carry over the posability they grant to Tryon 3, with Riku Tryon having decently posable legs in addition. The transformation is also very fun, with no parts forming like with the original. Riku Tryon's head is on a dual armature that swings over the chest, Umi Tryon's head fits snugly into the chest cavity, and Sora Tryon's legs completely invert on a set of sliding rails to become the standard Gundam legs. It's all very impressive, and not at all complicated, which speaks wonders to its engineering. It even has added places to store the Sora head and Umi tail which become its sword, and the wings which are usually discarded.

I'll also say, when combined, it feels like the size they portray it as in the show, closer to 1/100 scale than 1/144. Despite a lot of HG kits declaring they're 1/144 scale, that doesn't always match up in practice, with kits like those from Wing or units like Mobile Doll Sarah or May being bigger than they should be, or in this case HG Tryon 3 feeling small, though its size did sometimes feel like it was on a slider.

Apart from a bevy of alternate hands, Tryon 3 does comes with a number of bonus parts, most of which are beam effects. It comes with an enlarged head crest to wield for its iconic Boomerang Stagger, beam effects for both its Hyper Beam Sabers and an over-foot-long one for Hyper Minovsky Chohoken, and propulsion effects with stand capability for Armed Booster. It also comes with a set of two parts so you can depict it pulling Chohoken from the Liger's mouth, with the beam piece alone doubling as a Choho Pressure effect piece.

The included stand is also nice. While it doesn't have undercarriage storage, like with a lot of The Gattai toys, it does try to remain very pristine in appearance. You can separate it into three parts to display the three individual units separately, remove the name plate, and all the armatures you can attach hook onto the existing Riku and Umi plugs, or a cleverly hidden hole in the center of the stand.

The Bad: There's some general tightness and fragility to worry about, though it points out most instances in the instructions. The sword is also quite heavy to the point that it recommends you use one of the armatures to prop it up, though you have to do so with the unreliable clamp arms. I do wish there was some way to plug the stand into the sword if they knew this was going to be a thing. The first time I attached the V-Fin I was worried something was going to snap, though nothing thankfully did.

The biggest issue I had was the hands. They're slightly rubberized, and very tight, so they took quite a bit of force to put on the wrists for the first time. I ended up taking the arms off by the elbow to get the leverage I needed to put them on. They get slightly easier the more you do it, but they always require a bit more force than I'd like.

Look, this is a very high-end, high-spec piece. While I have heard of a few fumbles in SoC's past, this seems like a release where they did their homework. It probably helps that it's not trying to do anything too crazy, apart from the leg inversion? Treat it like what it's worth and you will see no trouble; time, patience, and a gentle hand.

Overall, it's great, but expensive. You're definitely getting your money's worth, but the question is if you want to spend that money in the first place. But now I'm kinda sad that this is a solo piece; unlike a lot of Super Robots, Tryon 3 is standalone and doesn't have combo buddies. Except... SD Tryon 3 does have Luna Tryon.
