A Theory about Shouto's and Touya's birthdays

I've been thinking again about the meaning of Shouto's and Touya's birthdays. What if Shouto's birthday is 111 because it's like the winning combo on a slot machine (getting three ones is a particularly good sign in light of Endeavor's aim to raise a son to be No 1) and Touya's birthday is 118 because he's only "almost perfect"?

And then I did some further research, and sure enough, the in the 18 in Touya's birthday the kanji for 1: 一 (ichi) and 8: 八 (hachi) can be found in the following Japanese gambling phrase:

一か八か = ichi ka bachi ka, “one or nothing”, or literally “one or punishment” - i.e.: a high risk gamble or something like "go for broke".

As in the phrase:

一いちか八ばちかやってみよう。

Ichikabachika yatte miyō.

I’ll take my chances.

So now I'm 99% convinced that Shouto's and Touya's birthdays are a refence to Endeavor gambling with the kids as if they were prizes in a pachinko slot machines / was playing child gacha?

(Also - Hori's sick sense of humour)

刺し違える sashichigaeru - This word is an expression used in traditional Japanese. In Japanese the term 'sashichigaru' refers to stabbing each other with a blade; it is a method of harming one person while risking harm to oneself or sacrificing one's life to kill the opponent. In essence, this indicates that while you may not emerge unscathed, you have the ability to wreak havoc on your opponent. So, to stab each other means that both you and the other person will die. This method is often employed as a desperate measure against a superior opponent. This word is often used in situations where people are accusing each other or disagreeing with each other or in a conflict. The origin of this word is not known, but it is believed to have originated in the world of swordsmanship and martial arts.

In swordsmanship training and warfare, it was necessary to read each other's attacks and skillfully avoid them in order to prevent oneself from being stabbed, while at the same time seeking to instantly stab through the opponent.

If I'm not mistaken this term was used by two people in the series, 1. Kakashi 2. Sakura

• Kakashi

KAKASHI: いくらあんたがあの三忍の一人でも...今のオレならアンタと差し違えることくらいは出来るぞ...!

ikura anta ga ano san nin no ichi nin demo ... ima no ore nara anta to sashichigaeru koto kurai wa dekiru zo ...!

Even if you're one of the three ninja... At least, I can kill you as you kill me/stab at each other...!

差し違える= kill each other/stabbing each other (or try to assasinate)　→　get fight back　→　both dead.

差し違える - It was originally used when a samurai charges towards an opponent with a sword or short sword. In such a case, you may be able to kill the other person, but there is a high possibility that the other person will also be able to kill you at the same time. It shows the determination that it doesn't matter. This is also a desperate strategy/tactic.

差し (sashi) not only means two people facing each other, but also ``present'' and ``send back''. It is used with verbs to emphasize the meaning or adjust the tone, such as in ``replace.''

刺し is a continuous form of 刺す. It is mainly used to mean to pierce something with a sharp point.

Even though he knew that if he had a fight with one of the Sannin, he would probably lose, but he felt the need to protect Sasuke from Orochimaru

But....

When Kakashi saw himself decapitated when he stood between Sasuke and Orochimaru:

ORO: やってみれば? できればだけど...

yattemireba ? dekireba da kedo ...

Why not try it? If you can, that is...

this expression could come across as dismissive. Using such expressions can come across as sarcastic and undermine the other person's confidence or abilities.

KAKASHI: ...くつ 刺し違える...!? バカか...オレは...!!!

ku....sashichigaeru...!? baka ka ...ore wa ...!!!

Ugh...Kill you as you kill me/stab at each other...!? Am I an idiot...!!!

くつ...!! - Uses when Someone probably noticed the impossibility to deal with something which is faced now unexpectedly.

Often, small sweat drops are drawn on the cheek of characters to make their expression appears more tense than normal. The more sweat drops there are, the stronger the anxiety or nervous.

Kakashi was initially confident in facing Orochimaru, but his confidence changed when Orochimaru released his killer intent.... it was enough to scare Kakashi

• Sakura

In 482, Sasuke was about to finish the job to kill his teammate karin when Sakura suddenly appears. In which case, Sasuke is already suspicious of her motives.

At first, Sakura lied about betraying Konoha. Second, she lied about joining Sasuke even though she was there to kill him. Third, she doesn't really care what Sasuke really wants and why he's doing this.

Her first remark about Sasuke is "He's completely changed"...well, yes...he's changed...but has she ever tried to figure out why he's changed???

She must have been in a hurry to get rid of Sasuke before others got rid of him first. [Sakura chose a sleeping gas bomb to put Kiba, Lee, and the others to sleep, and she left them there without even make sure that they were safe and not exposed to enemies. But...Kakashi was the one who carries Kiba and the others to a safe place]

Sasuke says, "Try to finish off Karin," and she quietly approaches Karin with a kunai to "stab Sasuke."

He saw through her lies and only see her as a "hated enemy of Konoha" now... rather than a former Team mate. He didn't even warn her but instead goes behind her back and wanted to finish her off. Sakura's eyes widened with shock and couldn't even run away (even though medical ninjas are supposed to be trained to avoid enemy attacks). I guess she never expected Sasuke to do something like that. It was Kakashi who was able to stop it just in the nick of time.

Even though she was told to stay out of the way, Sakura appeared again with a kunai in hand...but she fails to stab Sasuke. Twice.

Kakashi, who has decided to confront Sasuke, orders Naruto and Sakura to leave the place. Kakashi then interrupted Sakura's words... "Sasuke won't die from the poisoned kunai you learned from Shizune... He still has orochimaru's poison resistance..."

Specifically, he tells Sakura the realistic facts: "Sasuke won't die from your poison kunai. That poison won't work on Sasuke, so it's useless"

The fact that Sakura, a medical ninja, tried to kill Sasuke with a kunai...means it's easy to determine that the kunai was a poisoned kunai. "Poison" is a typical choice for a medical ninja. so the fact that Sakura chose "poison" is also evidence that she was "seriously thinking about getting rid of Sasuke."

In chapter 311, Sakura, who came to visit Kakashi at Konoha Hospital, said to him,

Sakura knew that Orochimaru might have been given drugs or some kind of forbidden jutsu to train Sasuke. Therefore, she should have known that "Sasuke might also immune to poison". Sakura herself had said that to Kakashi. So, Sakura naturally knows this but she chose the poison she had learned from Shizune to coat the kunai with to kill Sasuke. In general, even Kakashi knew that "Sasuke was resistant to poison," but... all of a sudden, she forgot all the facts she remembers and decided to kill Sasuke with just a Poisoned Kunai.

So Sakura's attempt to kill him would have been futile whether she stabbed him or not. Instead of bothering to find out why Sasuke suddenly acted like that, she concocts this plan where she lies about liking Naruto to get him to stop chasing Sasuke. She then drugs her comrades and leaves them unconscious in the forest and tries to stab Sasuke not once but twice with her poisoned kunai. Again, she fails to even come close to her own goals that she has set for herself. She constantly making a fool out of herself, crying pathetically and needing to be rescued. And She heard Naruto talking to Sasuke that Tobi had told him about "the truth about Itachi" and heard Sasuke ranting about how Konoha was responsible for his misery, but she never bothered to ask anyone about it.

In chapter 693, When Sasuke tells Naruto to come with him, we sees this angry look on her face and starts screaming about her feelings. However what's important to notice is this highlighted part when she is having this meltdown :

寄りそうことも刺し違えることもできずに...

yorisō koto mo sashichigaeru koto mo dekizu ni...

I can't get close to you or stab at each other...

I think she clearly referring to Naruto. Naruto is the only one who gets through to Sasuke, close to him, and he even said during the 5 Kage Summit that he'd bear the burden of Sasuke's hatred and they'd die together [double-suicide]. And Sakura is clearly upset. Sakura is also very telling of her jealousy of Naruto and Sasuke's bond. She knows Naruto can do things for Sasuke and get a reaction out of him, but she can't. Only Naruto could do these two things, not her. All this time all she could do was cry and beg.

Then Kakashi says that Sakura still loves him despite Sasuke trying to kill her, while conveniently omitting the fact that Sakura went there to kill Sasuke. Kakashi, who not only admits to not understand Sasuke, but he also clearly doesn't understand Sakura either. And She doesn't understand Sasuke either.

According to Ichika's self-introduction, her parents met each other because they liked the same song. They gave her the name Ichika (一歌), which literally translates to "one song" (Ichi meaning one, and Ka (more often read as uta) meaning song), to reflect that.

Ichika's father hopes that she will meet someone special through music as well, just as he did. Ichika attributes this to Saki, Honami and Shiho.

Maomao(Jinshi) no Hitorigoto Episode 31: Master Jinshi’s Monologue / 猫猫（壬氏）のひとりごと　第31話　『壬氏さまのひとりごと』

Please note that the English lines are just my translation.

壬氏「選択(せんたく)の廟(びょう)のからくりまで解(と)いてしまうとは…。手習(てなら)い所(じょ)も、薬屋(くすりや)の助言(じょげん)通(どお)りにしたところ、なかなかうまくいっている…。やたら鋭(するど)い洞察力(どうさつりょく)を持っているくせに、どういうわけか、こちらが察(さっ)してほしいことには気付(きづ)いてくれない…。…ハァ…どう伝(つた)えるべきか…。文(ふみ)か…いや、万(まん)が一(いち)、誰(だれ)か他(ほか)の者(もの)が読(よ)んでしまったら大変(たいへん)なことに…」

Jinshi “Sentaku’no Byo’no karakuri-made toite-shimau-towa… Tenarai-jo’mo, kusuriya’no jogen-doori’ni shita-tokoro, naka-naka umaku itte-iru… Yatara surudoi dosatsu-ryoku’o motte-iru-kuseni, do-iu wake-ka, kochira’ga sasshite-hoshii koto-niwa kizuite-kurenai… Haa… Do tsutaeru beki-ka… Fumi-ka… Iya, man’ga-ichi, dareka hoka’no mono’ga yonde shimattara taihen’na koto’ni…”

Jinshi “She even solved the tricks of the Shrine of Choosing… Also, things are going well at the school by following her advice. In spite that she has a profusely sharp insight, for some reason, she doesn’t seem to notice the things I want her to notice… (Sigh) How should I convey this…? A letter? No, if by any chance someone else were to read it, it would be a big problem…”

からくり(Karakuri): trick, mechanism, gimmick

やたら（Yatara/やたらと/Yatara-to、やたらに/Yatara’ni）: profusely, too much

万が一（まんがいち/Manga-ichi）: if by any chance, by any possibility, in case

壬氏「…そうか！伝言(でんごん)という手(て)もあるな。…いや、それは違(ちが)うなぁ…。やはり直接(ちょくせつ)伝(つた)えるしかないのか。でも、どうやって切(き)り出(だ)す…？う～ん…」

Jinshi “…Soka! Dengon-to-iu te-mo aruna. …Iya, sore’wa chigau-naa… Yahari chokusetsu tsutaeru-shika nai-noka. Demo do-yatte kiri-dasu…? Uuun…”

Jinshi “I see! I could leave a message. …No, that’s not right… I guess I have to tell her directly. But how should I broach the subject…? Hmm…”

話を切り出す（はなしをきりだす/Hanashi’o kiri-dasu）: break the news to, bring up a topic, broach a subject

猫猫（壬氏様(ジンシさま)が独(ひと)り言(ごと)を…。聞(き)けば気(き)の毒(どく)、見(み)れば目(め)の毒(どく)）

Maomao (Jinshi-sama’ga hitori-goto’o… Kikeba ki’no doku, mireba me’no doku.)

Maomao (Master Jinshi is talking to himself… “If you hear it, it becomes poison to your mind, and if you see it, it becomes poison to your eyes.”)

聞けば気の毒、見れば目の毒（きけばきのどく、みればめのどく/Kikeba ki’no doku, mireba me’no doku）: It’s a saying which means almost the same as “知らぬが仏（しらぬがほとけ/Shiranu’ga hotoke）; Some things are best left unknown, Ignorance is bliss.”

壬氏「あっ、薬屋！」

Jinshi “A, Kusuriya!”

Jinshi “Ah, Apothecary!”

猫猫「どうぞお続(つづ)けください」

The Kazama & Mishima’s naming traditions and the Next Gens of Kazama’s children!

Alright so I've been cooking this for a while since they dropped Jun's parents name on T8. Bear in mind, I'm in no way fluent in Japanese nor I'm a native, but I have google on my side to educate me better about Japanese naming systems and the kanji they used for naming the child (jinmeiyo and joyo).

I just want to named XiaoJin’s future babies so bad, kay?! Lol. Even though I know Jin is opposed to any plan of continuing the lineage (which is heartbreaking 😭💔) but the XiaoJin's shipper in me cannot be extinguished!! 🔥🔥🔥 I still want to named them! Lol.

Anyway! Feel free to correct me with your information! I'm open to any kind of knowledge 💖

Psst! If you don't want to read these longass founds and explanation, you can jump right away to the bottom of this post, there’s a pic that summarise these texts, lol.

Alrightt! Without further ado, let's deep dive into Kazama/Mishima lore!!

================================================

.

.

.

So...

Tekken 8 has finally dropped some lore about Kazama family, and it's about Jun to be exact. There, we can get a glimpse of Jun's parent name:

Soon after, a Japanese KazuJun's fan dropped this tweet :

Assuming a native Japanese able to decipher those characters correctly, now we finally have Jun's parents name kanji:

純一 the father, and 恵 the mother.

As we all know, kanji has several way of reading. Cited from pon-navi, there are two typical ways of reading kanji, kun-yomi and on-yomi. In addition, there is a reading system called "jinmei kun" which is used only for names.

"Soo?? What's their name?! How do we know the correct reading?!"

Here's the thing!!

Tekken has giving us hints that Mishima family has a tradition to give their children with their kanji name, following a common practice in Japan. Let's take a look at their kanji.

仁八, Jinpachi

平八, Heihachi & 一美, Kazumi

一八, Kazuya

Notice the similarities? You’re right! The Mishima child inherited their parents' kanji! The sons inherit '八' kanji, with Heihachi inherited '八' from Jinpachi and Kazuya inherited both kanji from Heihachi (八) and Kazumi (一).

As it is a common practice, the same can be said with the Kazama family! Although in their case, they might not be inheriting the kanji but instead with the reading of the said character. Or maybe phonetically similar would be correct here.

For example, this is Jun's kanji: 準

This character '準' can be read several ways, some of them are : Jun, shun, setsu, taira, toshi, narau, nori, hitoshi.

And one of her father kanji is: 純

'純' can be read as : kito, Jun, atsu, atsushi, aya, itaru, ito, kiyoshi, sunao, sumi, tsuna, to, makoto, yoshi.

Have you noticed it? That's right! '純' and '準' can be both read as Jun! It means that Jun's kanji has the same reading as her father's kanji, although they have different kanji characters.

From here, we can assume that Jun's father can be called Jun____ as well.

As for the other kanji, '一' can be read as: hito, hitotsu, hajime, ichi, itsu, i, osamu, kuni, susumu, tada, chi, nobu, hajimu, hajime, hi, hiji, hide, hitoshi, makoto, masashi, moto, ka, kazu, kata, atsu.

Looking from the lists, together his name could be read most plausibly as : Junichi, Junitsu, or Juni. Imo, Junichi sounds the best, so yeah, I completely agree with the KazuJun's fan.

Now we all know that Kazama has similar sounding name with different kanji.

On the other hand, the mother has '恵' that can be read as: megumu, megumi, kei, e, aya, sato, satoshi, shige, toshi, yasu, yoshi.

While it could be anything, I think it's either Megumi or Megumu. Why? Because I found out that '恵' has the same reading as one of Jin's kanji reading! lol. Let's take a look at Jin's kanji!

This is Jin's kanji: 仁

It can be read as: Jin, ni, nin, kimi, kimu, sato, sane, shinobu, tadashi, to, toyo, nobu, nori, hisashi, hito, hitoshi, hiroshi, masa, masashi, mi, megumi, megumu, yasushi, yoshi.

Do you find it? Both '恵' and '仁' can be read as Megumi/Megumu! lol.

One of the speculation is that Jun named her son Jin as a sign of respect to her father in law, Jinpachi (仁八). Even though Jin is a Mishima by blood, he doesn't inherit the '八' character as he was raised in Kazama family. So he inherited just the '仁' character. Besides, it also sounds almost the same. Jun.. Jin.. It's phonetically similar, right? And if Jin were born a girl, I bet he would be called Megumi/Megumu instead just like his grandmother, lol.

Thus, we can safely conclude that the Mishima has the habit to inherit their kanji characters while the Kazama inherit the reading of their kanji's name.

================================================

AND NOW! HERE COMES THE MAIN DISH!!!! 💖💖💖

What about the future Kazama kids?! Let’s move on to that and do the real cooking here for the XiaoJin's babies name! :D

We have seen Jin's kanji, but what about Xiayou?? Xiaoyu is Chinese by birth, and her hanzi (Chinese characters) are 凌曉雨 and リン・シャオユウ is how it's written in Japanese katakana.

凌, Líng: surpass / リン (Rin)

曉, Xiao: dawn / シャオ (Shao)

雨, Yu: rain / ユウ (Yu)

Now, I'd like to think that they would combine or use either their character or its reading for their baby! Also! They might use some of Jin's family name's characters :D

Here are some of my ideas for the babies name :

For boy:

晨一, Shinichi, a portmanteau of Jin and Xiaoyu's nickname and kanji inherited from Junichi/Kazuya.

Explanation: the first kanji '晨' means Dawn, which has the same meaning as Xiaoyu hanzi '曉'. The kanji reading is also the combination of Xiaoyu's nickname and Jin. Shao+Jin=Shin. It also sounds similar. Jin, Shin, it's rhyming, right? Just like Jun and Jin!

For the second kanji '一' I'd like to think the story behind it was that Xiaoyu wanted to preserve Kazama/Mishima naming practice but Jin was reluctant to do it. In the end, they decided to take the kanji '一' which was present in both Kazama and Mishima, that's in Junichi (純一) and Kazuya (一八).

For girl :

凌, Shino, a portmanteau of Xiaoyu's nickname and Jin, same character as Xiao’s hanzi that could also be the feminine ver. of Shin.

Explanation: it’s rather simple, I use the same character in Xiaoyu’s hanzi that has different reading while also the combination of Jin and Xiaoyu’s name. In Chinese ‘凌’ read as Ling but in Japanese, ‘凌’ has several reading. One of them is Shino. Shino could be the sister or the twin sister of Shinichi, in case XiaoJin have two child or twins in the future :)

琳, Rin, a kanji that has the same reading as Xiaoyu’s name and phonetically similar with Jin.

Explanation: I think this one is easy to understand! Rin and Jin, phonetically similar like what Kazama would've named their children. It’s also Xiaoyu’s surname in Japanese. The kanji ‘琳’ itself means ‘beautiful jewel’ and in Chinese the hanzi means 'beautiful jade’, and it reminds them of the greens in Yakushima forest, Jin's home.

.

================================================

Alright, now that I’ve spilled out all of the stuff inside my chest and calmed down, I’ll give you a simple name chart for those who don’t want to read wall of texts, lol. Hope this helps!

I guess that’s all for now, lol. I’ll add my thoughts if I had any later on. Thank you for coming to my TED talk! 😂🙏

Kazui's armband from Cat

Last night someone in a discord server came in dejected they were unable to read the armband Kazui and Hinako wore during cat, they couldn't get a good angle to screenshot it

So on a whim I looked some stuff up in my dictionary and typed "警察腕章" (Keisatsu wanshou/police armband)

This was the first result and it looks pretty close, the text is 捜査 (sousa) meaning search, its specifically a word used more in criminal investigation than say looking for your missing sock, but whilst the left kanji is promising there isn't any sign of the right one in the original screenshot so back to google

This is more like it! 捜一 Souichi, a word that is not in my dictionary and one of the first results for searching it is 読み方 (how to read)... Good news people who want to specifically cosplay Kazui and/or Hinako in their cop uniforms for some reason, because there's a lot of the above armband for sale online on amazon, mercari and probably anywhere else that sells stuff under 撮影用 (satsuei you/use in filming/photography) I also kept getting search results for actors/police dramas so I briefly considered the possibility Kazui and Hinako weren't real cops at all, but I don't think that's the case

It seems 捜一 is a shortened form of 捜査一課 (sousa ichi ka) Roughly translating to 'Investigation Department 1' [note, 捜査一課 can also be written as 捜査1課, the version with kanji vs arabic numeral seems interchangable, just for additional confusion]

To oversimply an entire system. Japan's police tend to be split into 4 main departments 捜査○○課 Department 1/捜査一課 deals with murder, robbery, assault, abduction/kidnapping, false imprisonment, sex crimes and arson Department 2/捜査二課 deals with economic fraud Department 3/捜査三課 is also robbery but like smaller stuff like purse snatching Department 4/捜査四課 deals with organised crime Basically when it comes to the case of 10 people being abducted and held in a prison outside of Japanese law for several years under threat of execution That's a job for Kazui and his wife's department!

Bonus fact idk if its relavent, but the 'kazu' in Kazui (一威) is spelt with the kanji for 1 "一" ... I guess his parents knew which department they wanted him working in lol

Lestrade is so funny, and now he's got a serious song. For as much as we laugh at his silly antics, he really is a pure man at heart, who just wants the best for everyone. I love that the musical pushed Lestrade to the forefront, with much credit to how much of a show stealer Takagi Shun is, but it really is a beauty to see a minor character in the anime\manga be treated with much care in the musical.

March to the light

光への行進曲（マーチ） | Hikari e no march Character: Inspector Lestrade

English The town is in chaos, enshrouded in darkness Where am I going? A lonely police officer that I am I don’t hope for praise or money or glory All I want is to see the people’s smiling faces

I cannot become a hero But I won’t throw away my principles I cannot become the light But I’ll be the wax to a light’s candle, and help the light shine

So there can be light in the darkness

My soul rushes, to the great detective To the light that can save this world I’ll help the light shine I’ll help the light shine

First of all, I just want to tell thank for your hard work. You've done an amazing job for the English community with your translations. My enjoyment of GBF's songs would not be nearly as great if it wasn't for the fact that I'm actually able to understand what the singer is actually singing and what the lyrics actually mean.

2nd, if it isn't too much trouble for you could you add Cloudy World the original song from Stella Magna's album to your translation backlog because it's the only Granblue related song that has sung lyrics that I haven't been able to find any lyrics for at all not even Japanese lyrics.

I'm just genuinely curious about the lyrics to this song considering the fact that this song released in a Granblue related album and the fact that Ono Yuuki is the main and solo vocalist for this song makes me wonder if this song is just a unofficial theme song for Danchou.

But please don't feel pressured, you'vs done amazing work and that can't be stated enough.

Wow. Thank you so much for the kind words, that means a ton. It's a bit hard for me to truly know how much what I'm doing has impact, so I appreciate this more than I can convey. These messages really do so much to keep me going!

To answer your second question: Cloudy World is already on my list! You'll be happy to know it seems to directly refer Over The Sky, which is another song the MCs did.

To tide things over while I work on the translations, I'd like to give you the lyrics to the song since you said you can't find them online anywhere. I've transcribed these from the CD jacket. This does not include my translation draft, but at least you'll be able to sing along. I'll place it under the cut.

Thank you for your message!

Straw Hat Fun Facts - Evie's OCs Edition

A while ago, I posted these character bulding questions on my resources blog. And now, in the light of my lingering obsession with One Piece, my growing number of OCs for the fandom AND my recent milestone, I've decided that now is as good a time as any to finally answer them for my own OCs! Not all of them are, in fact, Straw Hats, but I'll still answer the questions for them because I can.

Featured are Aurelia, Cora, Inari, Lily, Luna and Lux AND the two still undeveloped ones, for now code-named Betta Fish and Flying Squirrel because... well, that's what they're based on.

Have fun!

Note: I wrote this post over a week ago, told myself I'd proofread it and never did... And then I proofread it last night at about 11pm, so... Yeah, you'll find no braincells here, just pure vibes and the braincells that were already there a week ago. That being said, I'm particularly proud of the "As a Family" section

Animal Resemblances

Aurelia: Peacock

Cora: Mouse

Inari: Red fox

Lily: Fennec fox (obviously)

Luna: Swan

Lux: Lynx (once again, obviously)

Betta Fish: Well.... a betta fish! Also known as Siamese flying fish!

Flying Squirrel: I actually get to say some more here, it's specifically a Japanese giant flying squirrel.

Specific Numbers

Aurelia: 107 (do-na)

Cora: 6/5 (sixth Straw Hat to join if you count Luffy, fifth if you don't, i.e. fifth recruited), 96 (ko-ra), 25510 (a-ka-i-to), 19 (ichi-ku)

Inari: 8/7 (eighth Straw Hat to join, seventh recruited), 176/576 (i-na-ri), 53 (ka-mi)

Lily: 5/4 (fifth Straw Hat to join, fourth recruited), 66 (ri-ri -> Lily)

Luna: 8/7 (eighth Straw Hat to join, seventh recruited)

Lux: 106 (ji-rou), 693 (ru-kku-su -> Lux) 080 (ou-ya-ma; short for ouyamaneko = lynx)

Betta Fish: to be determined

Flying Squirrel: 6331 (mu-sa-sa-bi = Japanese giant flying squirrel)

Specific Colors

Aurelia: black, gold

Cora: a very dark fuchsia/dark red

Inari: pastel orange/pink mixture

Lily: pastel purple/pink mixture

Luna: (soft) icy blue

Lux: beige, white

Betta Fish: Cobalt blue, rainbow

Flying Squirrel: Dark cyan/blue

Specific Smells

Aurelia: violets, a hint of sandalwood, expensive perfume

Cora: cherries, cinnamon

Inari: strawberries, birthday cake

Lily: sea salt (the smell gets caught in her fur), water lilies, usually a hint of cigarette smoke because she's been around Sanji for a while

Luna: almond milk and honey

Lux: cheap cologne; grease or oil if he hasn't showered since last working on the Tang

Betta Fish: salt water, lavender

Flying Squirrel: Incense, wax, fireworks

Favourite Type of Island and Season

Aurelia: Previously spring on a summer island, now spring on an autumn island

Cora: Spring on a spring island

Inari: Any season on Totto Land; summer on a spring island

Lily: Summer on a spring island

Luna: Winter on a spring island

Lux: Winter on a winter island

Betta fish: Autumn on any island with a forest

Flying Squirrel: only knows Wano seasons

Favourite Food

Aurelia: Spaghetti carbonara, most likely

Cora: Honestly? Fish and chips. I don't know why. But not the cheap kind. High-end fish and chips, freshly made by Sanji. Fish that is fresh out of the sea, with a crispy crust, and the chips aren't your typical burger fries but more like fried potatoes. I feel like she'd also enjoy sweet potato fries

Inari: Inarizushi, which is a pouch of fried tofu filled with sushi rice. She loves it because it has the same name as her and because it has little fox ears. Sanji usually decorates it with a fox face to match

Lily: Omelette. Why? Because fennec foxes love eggs. Generally, preparing her an egg is good enough, whether you cook it or fry it, she loves eggs, but she especially adores omelettes because they look cool and because of the way Sanji makes them

Luna: Yoghurt, preferably with honey. She also loves elderberries, or yoghurt with elderberry jam

Lux: I feel like he'd like turkey hen? Generally, some sort of poultry. Also chicken (which is a poultry, I know)

Betta fish: Oysters, seaweed

Flying Squirrel: Daifuku (the food, not the character), udon

Least Favourite Food

Aurelia: Chips as in crisps, specifically she doesn't like salted ones. ESPECIALLY not salt and vinegar ones

Cora: I feel like she's not a fan of bitter foods in general and she hates it when food gets burned and she has to eat that charred black stuff. Luckily, that doesn't happen to Sanji. For somewhat obvious reasons, I feel like she also doesn't like oregano

Inari: Funnily enough, she doesn't like fried tofu. Her favourite food is inarizushi but she doesn't like fried tofu. That's because it takes the correct tofu, the proper frying technique and enough rice for her to like inarizushi. She doesn't like the taste of just fried tofu on its own

Lily: I'd say she doesn't like dried, salted fish. It's a common preserve on sea travels and she probably had to eat it a few too many times. Poor girl. She may also be slightly allergic against high amounts of salt

Luna: I don't know. Honestly, she might not be a fan of alcohol? Or at least drinks where you can taste the alcohol, so anything spiked probably isn't for her. There's this dish called Herrencreme in Germany - she wouldn't like it

Lux: Lux isn't exactly a picky eater, but I feel like he has a personal vendetta against cooked meat, especially if it's overcooked

Betta fish: Easy, mermaids don't eat meat and they don't eat fish. A certain group of people tricked her into eating fish at some point and, when she learned what she ate, she immediately had to throw up and felt bad about it for years after

Flying squirrel: I feel like she wouldn't like typical American™ fast food. Too greasy and weird

As a Family

Aurelia is normally the mother but, in the case of the Straw Hats, she might as well be the rich aunt

Cora has middle child vibes (says I, the person with no siblings). She's younger than Nami, vibes-wise. Then again, she's Sanji and Zoro's boyfriend, so... She's the girlfriend that's already part of the family

Inari: The youngest daughter, but only because her and Lily don't exist in the same universe. Technically, she'd be a cousin though? Or a half-sister? Yeah, she's a half-sister!

Lily: Well, you got me there. Youngest daughter, but she's also Sanji's daughter, which would mess up all the generations, so let's say she's the baby daughter that Sanji mainly takes care of

Luna: She's the oldest sister, or, because she's Sanji's girlfriend, she's the girlfriend who the parents like more than their actual child because she's so responsible

Lux: Technically not a Straw Hat, so let's say he's either a cousin or the kid living next door who's always playing soccer with the Straw Hat kids and comes over so often that he practically already lives with them

Betta fish: I can't give too much away without spoilers, but she's the other mother. She's the dad's girlfriend. We're doing a patchwork family here, people. Two moms, two dads.

Flying Squirrel: Neighbour kid who helped the Straw Hats get their ball out of a tree that one time and now they love her. Her and dad no. 1 bond over woodworking

Real-World Nationalities

Aurelia is Mexican, no doubt about it

Cora is English

See, this is where "nationality" becomes the deciding factor because, nationality-wise, Inari is English. As for her heritage, she's probably not just white. I see her as being part Japanese

Lily doesn't really have a nationality because she grew up on a ship, but she eventually moved in with Kaya, who is English

Lux, I'd say, is Russian

Betta fish lady is Thai, because betta fish are also known as Siamese fighting fish and Siam is the historical name of Thailand

Flying Squirrel person is Japanese and of Chinese and Japanese descent

Inner Brain

Aurelia: It depends! Her inner brain is either fully on danger mode or fawning over Mihawk 24/7

Cora: Mostly sewing-related. The other half belongs to her boys <3

Inari: Sweets and chaos.

Lily: There's no way to pin it down. Her mind is 100% childlike whimy and chaos

Lux: Is Zoro around? If so, he's 100% in love. Otherwise, he's honestly either about training or repairing the Tang - or a no thoughts head empty sort of person. He loves his naps

Betta fish lady I honestly don't know too much about yet. Further in the story, she's thinking about her partners for sure (and trying to babysit the Straw Hats, probably), but before that...? I dunno. Let's say she's thinking about tea.

Flying squirrel person is thinking about archery, revenge, stealing, honor and the occasional woodworking project

Suited Flower

Aurelia: Aster flower

Cora: Somehow, I'd say it's a poppy. Because poppies make you fall asleep, which is something that Cora is notoriously bad at lol - and it's red!

Inari: Snapdragon

Lily: Water lily

Lux: Zinnia

Betta fish lady: Hyacinth

Flying squirrel person: Hydrangea

I think I'll leave it at these for now? Maybe you'll find some interesting fun facts here <3
