#karura beyblade

[andro-dino]

was thinking abt these so here’s some beyblade ships that have crossed my mind before but I’ve never talked about bc I find them inexplicably cursed

[idontthinkimokaymentally]

Hello there Karura fans.

[clowns-with-roses]

Browsed for Takafumi Adachi's old tweets for nostalgia reason, I found this :

Tbh, this is almost forgotten (by me) that MFB characters that resembled to Bakuten Shoot Beyblade characters are exist 😭

His name is Karura, his Beyblade is Guardian Garuda. Both of his character and his beyblade are resembled to Kai Hiwatari and Suzaku (Dranzer).

Also, I've found this :

This was tempted me to search about the rest characters that resembled from Bladebreakers characters :

Sakyo Kurayami (Ronin Dragoon's owner), Baihu Xiao (Beserker Byakko's owner), Genjuro Kamegaki (Bandit Genbu's owner), and Spike Bourne (Thief Zirago's owner).

Unless Sakyo (that his physical appearance more resemble to Tala), the rest of them have physical resemblance to Bladebreakers.

Genjuro Kamegaki for his blue eyes and blonde hair that resemble with Max Tate. Spike Bourne has big X scar on his forehead, just like Daichi Sumeragi. Also Baihu Xiao, I almost thought that HE IS RAY'S CHILD OR GRANDSON IN THE PAST...!

I love how they've made some characters that resemble Bladebreakers characters for tribute to Bakuten Shoot Beyblade. Give them kudos for respecting and tributing Bakuten Shoot Beyblade.

Deepest gratitude for Adachi-sensei, Nagamori-san, and other staffs who had this great idea. I always admire them as both Bakuten Shoot Beyblade and MFB fan.

Hora de la OTP de Beyblade

¡Hora de la OTP de Beyblade! Un breve cuestionario.

Nota: Antes que nada, traduje esto con el fin de decir lo que pienso y esperando que lo poco que escriba (Sí me retan a escribir mucho, saben que lo haré, pero quiero que a quienes les interesa leerlo… Lean de manera concreta y breve mi confesión), puedan entenderlo claramente.

PD: También puede usar Google Traductor como yo lo hice y saber que dije.

PD2: Copiado del tumblr de @seafoamnightfall 👍

1. ¿Cuál es tu OTP favorita / superior en Beyblade?

KaixRei♀ o KaixÁmbar, también acepto sus versiones: yaoi (Amor de chicos, que sería como la idea original) y yuri (El amor de chicas o lesbianas jamás ha sido un problema, honestamente no me gusta la idea de que Kai tenga una versión siendo mujer y aunque mi amiga @prongsie hizo una “Kaia”… La acepto porque está con Rei onee-chan).

2. ¿Desde cuándo empezó a emparejarlos?

Desde el año 2004, que el KaixRei empezó a gustarme por el arte de varios BeyArtistas (Y una parte por las amistades como los fanfics) y por las “indirectas”, fanservice o la relación que tenían ambos personajes en el anime y algo en el manga (Que sería una versión neutral de todo, sin embargo, siempre hubo "algo" jaja).

3. ¿Por qué los emparejas?

Ambos son muy parecidos, son como el señor Darcy y Elizabeth “Lizzie” Bennet (Busco el mismo patrón) y empecé a emparejar su versión heterosexual cuando supe que al final, Rei Kon (Versión chico y original) se casó con Mao (Mariah) y quise reclamarle a Aoki-sensei (En ese tiempo, no lo respetaba como ahora y también me dejé llevar por la frustación, ya que como “pareja yaoi” nunca podrían estar juntos y se manifestaría ese deseo en sus hijos Gou Hiwatari y Rin Kon)… En mis tiempos, los Universos Alternativos no estaban de moda como hoy, quería un final alterno del final original y comencé a pedir firmas como a ganarme muchos enemigos… Pensaba que la versión KaixRei en un matrimonio de “hombre y mujer”, tendría éxito jaja… Y luego llegó el falso rumor del “Primer Manga Original de Beyblade” como a creer que Aoki-sensei lo había creado y abandonado.

4. ¿Qué tiene de especial?

Como dije, busco parejas que sean como el señor Darcy y Lizzie que son el típico hombre rico (Aunque a veces basta con la actitud y la personalidad, si no hay fortuna), calculador, “algo” gruñón, orgulloso y reservado, para luego mostrar un lado sensible que lo considerarían no muy apropiado para un “macho” (Pero sí para un masculinista)… Son chicos tsunderes, que les dan algunas actitudes femeninas; y la mujer “clásica” (Suena a sarcasmo, pero para mí es la mujer idónea) que actúa de manera masculina o se le considera machorra (Incluso se viste como un chico, en ocasiones) sin dejar de lado su fisionomía femenina, piensa por sí misma (También se arrepiente de sus errores), noble, alegre y segura... Una bokuko, porque la actitud tsundere ya viene como anillo al dedo con el primer término japonés, que al final se relaciona de manera natural con su compañero y siempre lo negará o hará despistes de eso.

5. Su primer fanfic que haya leído o que se haya inspirado para ese emparejamiento.

Honestamente, creo que serían las historias de Zanavalú, mi onee-sama de FF.net y aunque fueron borradas por dicha página web por mi “causa”, se llamaban: “La Doble Vida de Rei” y “El Triste Pasado de Rei”… Luego vinieron más, gracias a que estuve buscando gente y creía firmemente en dicho rumor, por lo que conocí fanfics como “Mi Querida Gatita” de Karura-San, que es Miss Étoile; “El sello del Tigre” que es el tercer fanfic de Zanavalú; y otros que siguen, aunque están en inglés y japonés en el Internet, algunos en español que también fueron borrados del Wattpad como “El chico que me gusta” y “Simplemente te amo”.

6. Tus autores favoritos cuyos fanfics te encanta leer con respecto a tu OTP (Preferencia sabia).

Zanavalú (Aunque sólo quedó en mi memoria), Karura-San (Antes de ser Miss Étoile), Tenshi Kanda (El tiempo que le invirtió, después abandonó el BeyFandom) y aunque suene ególatra, mis propias historias.

7. Fanfic favorito de todos los tiempos para tu OTP en el fandom.

“Simplemente te amo” por Tenshi Kanda, por otro lado, los que mencione anteriormente siguen siendo mis favoritos.

 8. ¿Cuántos fanfics / one-shots ha escrito para su OTP?

He perdido la cuenta… Porque cuando tuve mi comunidad en el antiguo y desaparecido Groups.msn, y la cuenta de FF.net que me hackearon… Tenía uno que se llama “4 sílabas: Fe-li-ci-dad” (Que nunca guardé), “Gymblade” y otros que no terminé... Esos sí los tengo en mis cosas, borradores sin terminar o simples ideas, como uno en mi Blogspot que mejor ignoramos y algunos fanfics escritos en mis eventos del fb que serían como 6 (Uno se repite) … Sí hablamos de Wattpad, oficialmente serían 4 terminados (En total son 6 y sólo hay 2 que no hablan de la pareja principal como protagonistas) y próximamente publicaré un One-Shot que fue para el evento de San Valentín 2021 (desde mi comunidad del fb).

 9. ¿Cuál es el mejor fanfic que ha escrito para su OTP?

Mi favorito es “El Orgulloso y la Prejuiciosa”. Los demás son geniales para mí, pero mi adaptación la amo.

10. ¿Sueñas despierto con tu OTP?

Sólo cuando se da la oportunidad, igual me ayuda a crear nuevas ideas para “Headcanons”, Fanfics, Fanarts, manualidades y lo que haga falta.

11. ¿Se queda dormido pensando en su OTP?

Logré soñar con ellos, en ciertas ocasiones coincidían en ideas específicas de mis aliados y amigos (Que nunca diré sus nombres).

12. ¿Cuáles son sus pistas / momentos favoritos de su OTP en la serie?

T1EP08, T1EP49, T2EP19, T2EP48, T3EP21 Y T3EP23, obviamente hay más pero esos 6 fueron los más esenciales.

13. ¿Cuál sería su reacción si su OTP resulta ser claramente no canónica? ¿O si resulta canónico?

Creo que ya dije como me sentí cuando terminó el manga y el anime, sin embargo… Sí hay una forma de hacerlo canónico, en su versión hetero efectivamente, como un “Reboot” (Ejemplo en “Saint Seiya”, cuando Shun es una chica en la adaptación de Netflix)… ¡Otou-sama sabe que intentaría pagárselo! ✨

14. ¿Cuál es tu género favorito para escribir en tu OTP? (Romance a parte)

Romacción, a veces con toques de comedia con sátiras y frases sarcásticas, y realmente no sería un sólo género en específico… ¡Serían de todo un poco!

15. Mencione algunos headcanons de su OTP.

1- Kai es un amante de los animales y cuando ve a Rei, se enternece de verla en su modo Gatita, que es cuando está de guardia baja; y la respeta en su modo Tigresa, como una gran rival.

2- A pesar de que Rei es una bokuko, eso no evita que Kai se fije en ella y a veces se fija mucho en su crecimiento (Entre el Beyfandom original japonés y algunos amigos internacionales, sabemos que ella es voluptuosa, pero prefiere vestir como hombre)… Aunque su personalidad, es lo que le vuelve loco y lo atrae a la vez.

3- Hiwatari tomó como prometida a Kon, por otro lado, lo dio por hecho y ella ni en cuenta, hasta que él tiene que declarárselo directamente en Beyblade Rising (Tomé esta idea del rumor de Beyblade R4).

[andro-dino]

the autism is autisming right now

bonus

[andro-dino]

karura for funsies. I’ve never drawn him before but it was actually pretty fun

[andro-dino]

smiles at you. how about some hcs for kira and the other dna bladers. they are all so silly to me <3

waaa the gang <3 I love them. These are all gonna be like post-canon, “all of dna live in an apartment together” focused bc that’s my favorite way to think about them.

I’ve been rereading some of my own fics recently and stumbled upon a line I forgot I wrote about Spike and Genjuro sometimes having to force Arrow to drink water because he usually exclusively drinks sugary drinks and I think that’s silly. I think the idea of arrow randomly being like “man I have a killer headache rn idk why :/“ and them going “well how much water have you been drinking?” And arrow being like “how much what have I huh now?” and them being wildly concerned is very funny.

Adding onto that, I think out of DNA, Spike and Genjuro are the best at taking care of themselves when they need to because the others have like zero sense of self preservation. I think that Karura surprisingly can also pretend to be a sensible human being sometimes as well. I love the idea of Karura having his own little mini spice and veggie garden and helping Spike and Genjuro cook sometimes <3

Dunno how much this is a hc so much as it just kinda implied but Arrow is super inspired by Kira and looks up to him a lot, not only just when it comes to beyblade but like, life as a whole. ESPECIALLY when it comes to fashion. He’s experimented a bit with eyeliner before (mostly just to fill out the gaps in his mask) but eventually wants to try getting into makeup more as a whole and he immediately asks Kira for advice with that. I like to think that the two end up really bonding over it and end up going shopping together a lot and Kira helps Arrow pick out outfits and stuff <3

Ok I cannot hold myself back rn I need to be a little bit angsty bc I think about this with post-canon dna way too much (a lot of these ideas have been sparked by our past conversations lol). I think despite the fact that they are trying to be better people and while I do think the general opinion of them comes around eventually, for a long while immediately after the events of shogun steel they are kinda still public enemies #1 and that makes life ROUGH for all of them for a while. They all have very different views and ways of dealing with that as well.

Kira, still upholding his role as leader, feels a certain level of responsibility and, by proxy, guilt about this. He feels a strong sense of duty towards dna to help guide and protect them from then on out, especially realizing that he hadn’t treated them particularly well in the past. He can’t help but partially blame himself for putting them in the position they are now and in his path for redemption, seeks not only to make it up to the main gang and public at large but dna as well. He feels really guilty when he sees them mistreated by others and feels a level of protectiveness over them. He really takes the idea that he needs to take care of them seriously and occasionally that means taking the fall for them or defending them from people who are being particularly assholeish.

Genjuro kinda wants to keep everyone under the radar while all this is happening and although they know he means well, none of the others are particularly fond of this and kind of end up butting heads with him a lot as a result. The main two especially with this are Baihu and Karura.

Karura tries not to argue with Genjuro much, but at Genjuro’s insistence that they should be trying to keep a low profile and thus not dress as flashy as they usually would, Karura is a little peeved. This strikes a particular nerve with him specifically for two reasons. 1. Karura’s a unique looking dude as a whole, and he finds it’s kinda hard to “keep a low profile” when you’ve got a blue mohawk and burn scars all over your face and body. and 2. His appearance is something he takes pride in. He’s not insecure by any means, and his style being as flashy as it is is an act of embracing his uniqueness in a way that suits him, so to have to change that is something that leaves him particularly disgruntled.

Baihu, by contrast, more directly takes opposition to Genjuro and the two get into a lot of fights because of it. Baihu is used to using trickery, mischief, and brute force to gain traction in life and he takes no qualms in doing that not only to defend his name, but to just survive at times. He and Spike are the ones who are the most easily irritated by the way people look down on them and will frequently start fights with strangers over it, despite being told it’s not worth it. Baihu does not like to be held back and does not like letting people just walk all over them, but he’ll bite his tongue from time to time for the sake of the others. What he won’t do, however, is sit back and let his pack struggle under his watch. I think that along with struggling to be in public, it’s also really tough for them to find ways to support themselves and they tend to get turned away by a lot of businesses and tournaments, so it is hard for them to get by for a while. I think eventually, the wbba is informed of this and provides them support in this regard, but before then, all Baihu knows is that they need to eat. Genjuro does not like it when Baihu steals, but Baihu doesn’t care, because if no one else is gonna provide for them, he will, and it doesn’t matter to him by what means that comes by. (I have thought abt drawing a comic with this idea for AGES. Will I ever get around to it? only time will tell)

I also think they have an interesting time trying to get along with the main gang after everything that’s happened. Zyro is obviously the most forgiving, and since he and Kira very quickly become very close after they’ve bonded, he is more than ready to welcome the rest of DNA with open arms, and is very excited to let his friends properly get to know them. The others do not necessarily share the same kind of enthusiasm.

Maru, bless her soul, I think trusts Zyro’s judgment the most and is willing to give them another shot. She doesn’t necessarily look past all the things they’ve done, but she’s seen other people come around, especially due to Zyro’s influence, and so she trusts that they’ll be able to do the same. She ends up getting along well with Kira, Genjuro, and Arrow (cough cough for no reason in particular ahem ahem)

Shinobu is a little more apprehensive, as I think he’s one to hold grudges, but similarly to Maru, he trusts Zyro and is willing to move forward if he is. He’s definitely the most hesitant around Kira and Baihu (partially also Genjuro bc of the glass box battle but I think they’re more easily able to move on from that). Kira particularly is difficult for him to get along with just bc of everything that happened with him at multiple different points, but I think they end up having some very heartfelt conversations at some points about it and Kira communicates that he understands why Shinobu would still hold a grudge, but he really is trying to change and he hopes that him and the others will be able to prove that to him over time. And it does take time, but Shinobu understands that perspective and is willing to give them a shot.

Ren is hesitant at first, though for those she doesn’t have personal beef with, she’s able to forgive relatively quickly. The others though. oo boy. Her beef with Genjuro was settled with their rematch at the qualifier match attacks when she got the upper hand on him, so despite some slight animosity at first, they’re able to go to friendly rival status fairly quickly afterwards. Arrow and Spike however, she has NOT forgiven for what they did during the dna hq invasion and is not their biggest fan right off the bat. In the end, they decide to settle it like bladers do, and after a fair and even match with them (I think it’d be a duo battle with eight since he also has beef with them for the same reason (I’ll get to that too)) they’re able to understand each other a little more and settle their issues. It’s not immediate forgiveness, but it’s a start.

Kite and Eight are the biggest grudge holders of all time. It is very hard for them to move on. Kite has massive beef with Yoshio, not only because their rivalry was never properly settled, but bc he not only picked a fight with kite, but hurt eight and well and kite does NOT play when it comes to eight. He’s also not particularly fond of Baihu either but I think eventually he’s able to understand the more caring side of him and come to terms with him a little more. There’s the obvious route of his rivalry with Karura continuing as well but they don’t have any real animosity towards each other and it’s mostly just very silly and lighthearted. On eight’s end, he equally is not fond of Yoshio and also has a continued hatred towards Spike and Arrow, and anyone who eight hates Kite hates too. His and Ren’s battle with them helps it a bit, but Eight’s a stubborn little kid and doesn’t let that show for a long while still. He needs to get in what he thinks is their deserved amount of teasing and bullying before he can actually start to warm up to them. I think in the end, what ends up bringing them both around, is Kite connecting with Kira. I actually really love these two as a duo (it’s a shame that a lot of the stuff I’ve seen of them together online is from weirdos) and I think they really could have a genuine heart to heart, with Kira opening up about the responsibility he feels towards dna and kite connecting to that as an older brother. Again, kite cares about his brother more than anything, and protecting him and taking care of him is his biggest priority, so understanding that Kira feels a very similar duty towards the other members of dna, it humanizes them more in kite’s mind and he’s able to empathize with them more, and so he’s more willing to give them a chance afterwards. And since eight would follow kite to the ends of the earth, when kite starts to warm up to them a little more, eight starts to give them a chance as well.

OH MAN YOU KNOW WHAT I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT TJATS REALLY GETTING ME GOING RIGHT NOW. Kira talking to Tsubasa and the other adults.

There’s a certain kind of shame that makes his head hang and a certain degree of fear that he can’t quite place that makes him hesitate as he walks inside the wbba building with Zyro. His gut twists when they go up the elevator and his heart drops when Zyro tells him that that’s as far as he’ll take him, and that Kira needs to talk to them on his own. He’s so used to having a degree of control over everything around him like he did with the garcias and like how he thought he did with doji, so going into an environment where he’s just a powerless teenager, it scares him. He would try to be intimidating but he knows that won’t work on them. His magic has no power in this realm.

The treatment he got from the garcias and doji when he was no longer their perfect little puppet leads him to prepare for the worst, especially considering these are people who have every reason to hate him and persecute him for everything he’s done to them, so he’s dumbfounded when they welcome him with open arms and warm smiles. It feels like a trap— there’s no way it’s not a trap, right? Trying to careen him into a false sense of security? But the longer they talk, the more opportunities to drop the ball they don’t take, and Kira realizes that they’re being genuine. It stabs him in the gut in a way he doesn’t understand. They take no hesitance in assuring that him and dna aren’t getting off 100% scott free, but their punishment is so… not grueling? It doesn’t even sound like a punishment when they say that they’ll have to do community service and take mentorship under Benkei, but that’s what they’ve settled on. And when they emphasize that they know that Kira and the others aren’t bad kids, and were just misguided and still deserving of a second chance, Kira doesn’t even realize that he’s crying until he feels the tears drip from his chin or that the stabbing feeling in his gut has intensified until he’s keeling over for a reason he doesn’t understand. He equally doesn’t understand why there’s a warm hand patting him on the shoulder and another two helping him to his feet. It’s a strange kind of feeling that he hasn’t felt before and he’s not quite sure what it means.
