#kitsune x chizu

[wtf-a-psychoanalysis]

*Kitsune and Chizu just announced that they're dating*

Yuichi: No fair Kitsune! I want a ninja girlfriend too!

2k12!Leo: *still in the closet and very much in love* Is this a sign?

2k12!Leo: I can be your ninja girlfriend because I'm a girl.

Yuichi: Absolutely! Auntie's going to be so excited to know I got a girlfriend. Where do you want to go on a date? The sword shop, the Karaoke. We can even shop for clothes if you want. Whatever makes you feel comfortable.

*2k12!Leo was surprised but endeared by how supportive her new boyfriend is. They did all three things.*

*Later, when Leo comes out publicly*

Yuichi: Everybody look at how beautiful and amazing my girlfriend is. She can cut two grains of rice in half.

I’m putting the rest under the more sign because there’s kinda? S2 spoilers in here? BUT ALSO NOT EXACTLY? IT’S A BIG CANON DIVERGENCE/AU BUT I WANNA BE SAFE.

I apologize for how messy and unorganized some of these doodles will get btw. Also for my handwriting. I had an ADHD induced fever dream one day and woke up to all of THIS mess.

ALSO SOME DISCLAIMERS PLEASE READ:

1. There is some blood below, nothing insanely graphic but jsyk.

2. There will be a doc attached to this post that goes VERY in depth about the story connected here. The images are included on that as well to make following along a bit easier. You don’t have to read it, but you will def get more context lol.

3. There is not a lot of Leosagi or Rise stuff in general here! There’s some mild things in the doc abt them, but most of this is about Yuichi/Miyamoto Usagi bc I love him, yet also love to traumatize him. Sorry king <3. AAAAND it’s a set up to something I have planned in the future that WILL be very leosagi/rise heavy.

4. Welcome to the insanity that is my brain. I apologize now.

Okay, I gotta post this b4 I overthink it too much.

OH! And here’s the doc that explains way too much: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T99uGllPu08Unbq344KZu29Fbk2NjNN8Jz9ckmpa_lM/edit

Unofficial Guide to Yuichi Usagi's Friends and Family

This is for the fanfic readers who want to read about Leoichi but aren't as familiar with Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles. Note that I'm not a diehard fan but I did watch the two seasons so here are my thoughts.

This post is also spoiler-y to the show and have referneces to the Usagi Yojimbo comics.

Gen

Samurai Rabbit's Gen vs Usagi Yojimbo's Gen

Samurai Rabbit's Gen is based on Usagi Yojimbo's Gen. UY Gen is a self-proclaimed best friend of Miyamoto and constantly has him paying for the food and drinks every time they meet in their separate journeys.

UY Gen is a bounty hunter who knows how to wield a sword but refuses to follow the samurai code because of daddy issues (his dad chose to be faithful to the samurai code over providing a good life for his wife and kid).

More on Samurai Rabbit's Gen

SR Gen is also a bounty hunter but the similarity stops there. He was once from a rich family until his mother chose to heal a wanted convict. This made the people of Neo Edo mad at her which brought down her hospital.

Gen, upon growing up, had to make the hard decision to sell their mansion to the shogun and live his life as a bounty hunter.

Similar to rottmnt Raph, he's the oldest brother and carries that energy to his friends. He has a sister, Yoshiko, who looks like him. But they both insist they look nothing alike.

Toshiko is more free-spirited than Gen, but in Gen's opinion, she's more reckless, which ends up with him cleaning up her mess.

They also have a family car called Ashibasha that is possessed by a yokai that enters into any neglected non-living object. They keep Ashibasha in slight disrepair since they got attached to the yokai possessing it.

Other Stuff I Can Remember about Samurai Rabbit's Gen

He fights with a pair of kaikishi weapon of studded metal clubs called kanabo. Its special abilities are not yet known.

He and his friends are all staying in his ancestral home that his sister bought back.

He's a hypochondriac who would overworry over a paper cut and is a frequent patient of the Neo Edo hospital (which used to belong to their mother) run by three Shiba Inus who like to stay silly despite the horrors.

He's also a germaphobe and one of his greatest challenges against the Machine is going through the sewer part of their ship.

Aside from being a bounty hunter, he's also a sign spinner.

He and his sister has a background on fixing mech.

He sometimes is the advisor to Usagi's naïveté. Like telling Usagi to read the situation first in their first meeting or when he told him that the birthday venue for Kitsune should be something she likes because Usagi kept showing fighting venues.

He knows how to be intimidating for his advantage but is actually a big softie like following Usagi's idea to be their Kaiksihi sensei even when it's going badly so as not to hurt his feelings.

Kitsune

Samurai Rabbit's Kitsune vs Usagi Yojimbo's Kitsune

SR Kitsune is based on UY Kitsune. UY Kitsune is a street performer who robs her audience. A friendship was formed when Miyamoto stole back his wallet from her at the end of the chapter.

Despite being a righteous stick-in-the-mud, Miyamoto does have a sense of humor and doesn't seem to hold it against her when she robbed him of his money pouch that made him washed the dishes in a restaurant he ate in.

More on Samurai Rabbit's Kitsune

SR Kitsune is a street performer too. But instead of tricks with a fan and a toy top, she does puppeteering. She's also easygoing and has the tendency to make casual remarks about her life that ranges from zany to kind of concerning.

Like never having a birthday party in her life because she's an orphan, or that her childhood friend is a puff of gas that smells of fermented soybeans that she assumes is a ghost.

Similar to Mikey, she's just as playful and carries an energy of lightheartedness. She's the glue that holds Chizu with the others while Chizu is busy being the leader of the Neko ninja clan.

Other Stuff I Can Remember about Samurai Rabbit's Kitsune

She fights with kaikishi weapons which is a pair of bladed fans called Tessen. Its special abilities is not yet known aside from being able to return to her like a boomerang when thrown.

Has gay energy with Chizu.

She has a habit of stealing stuff but is trying to rein it in since she has her friends now.

Became sisters with a deadly alien ai that adapted its personality to her own. Her little sister is named Kiyoko. In the Usagi Yojimbo comics, Kitsune also has adopted a street orphan named Kiyoko whom she taught how to steal stuff.

Able to pilot a giant mech because of her puppeteering skills. Someone give that girl a gundam.

Chizu

Samurai Rabbit's Chizu vs Usagi Yojimbo's Chizu

Yuichi's Chizu is based on another character in the Usagi Yojimbo comics. Miyamoto's Chizu is also a ninja. But Chizu's brother, Shingen, got to know and work together with Miyamoto first.

I'm not yet finished with the comics, but all I know is that Chizu's brother died but she has heard of the samurai that he has worked with.

She has trouble with the ninja clan accepting her as their leader, and at one point was told by another ninja leading the clan to marry him so that the ninjas would take her authority more seriously. She refused.

In the end, the other ninja died after he tried to kill her to overthrow her. She then forced a kiss on Miyamoto as thanks or something and then left. (Seriously, I can count three female characters that forced a kiss on Miyamoto.) Chizu is a possible love interest for Miyamoto in the series.

I haven't finished the comics. But after a quick scan in Wiki, I find out she also fails to lead her clan and became a fugitive.

More on Samurai Rabbit's Chizu

SR Chizu has something like a mother complex but a third secret thing with Neko ninja crew leader Lady Fuwa. She was kidnapped as a baby by Lady Fuwa and was trained to be a weapon alongside other cat orphans.

So she kinda has a "You raised us but you kidnapped us. You destroyed our childhood for your gain but I wouldn't be here if not for you. You lie and cheat and backstab including me but I don't want to kill you" complicated thing with her.

Despite ninjas being famous for deception, she's the most strait-laced character in the group.

She tried to be loyal to Lady Fuwa. But Yuichi, Gen, and Kitsune reminded her of her childhood friend that Lady Fuwa took away so that Chizu wouldn't have any other bonds but her. It was Kitsune who was most hurt by her betrayal and Chizu made every effort to make it up to her.

Similar to rottmnt Donnie, she has a dry sense of humor. But again, that's where the similarity stops. If Donnie has evil-scientist-vibes, I think Chizu needs to be reminded to get loose sometimes. Well, at least Kitsune's there to remind her.

She really tried to lead the clan to no crimes but she has so much to learn first. Her clan, with the exception of one who was still loyal to her, turned on her in favor of Lady Fuwa.

Other Stuff I Can Remember about Samurai Rabbit's Chizu

Chizu fights with a kaiksihi weapon bow and arrow, along with her ninja gear of throwing stars and wrist-mounted crossbows. She's also familiar on how to use the naginata (it's like the Japanese version of a polearm).

Is ship-teased with Usagi but it's probably a callback on the Usagi Yojimbo comics.

Has gay energy with Kitsune.

Is looked up to by Hana and the other ninja kittens.

Tetsujin

Based on a sunbear, Tetsujin is the last warrior and guardian of the mystical ki-stone aka Kaikishi warrior. He's the tech guy of the group and his form became that of a sci-fi ghost because of the ki-stone.

He and Lady Fuwa used to be together (which neither Usagi, Gen, Kitsune nor Chizu wants to hear about), but it turned out Lady Fuwa was just using him.

Yuichi Usagi's Aunt

Usagi's Aunt's name is not yet known despite two seasons. She's not based on the Usagi Yojimbo comics. She taught Usagi everything he knows about sword fighting.

Although there was an implication of war a long time ago, judging by Usagi's aunt's leg and ear prosthetics, and that Usagi's parents are nowhere to be seen, there doesn't seem to be any samurais in Neo Edo.

Did She Ever Give Usagi Formal Training on How to be a Samurai? I don't know.

I'm not sure if she has formally taught him how to be a samurai, aside from sword fighting, such as the samurais' philosophies, virtues, and principles. But Usagi once quoted her words about protecting those who need to be protected. So it's possible.

But unlike Miyamoto Usagi, Yuichi Usagi didn't follow the traditional path of being a samurai:

Miyamoto received his sword, Willowbranch, when he was acknowledged by his lord and future master, Lord Mifune, upon proving himself in a tournament.

For Yuichi Usagi, he was given his Aunt's sword, Edgewing, when he wanted to go out to the city. In the Usagi Yojimbo comics, the sword of a samurai is his soul. But it doesn't seem to be the case for Edgewing.

So maybe it's more informal? Since Yuichi Usagi seems to be the only samurai around, the samurai tradition may have become obsolete by the time Yuichi Usagi became Miyamoto Usagi's thousand-year descendant. Similar to how the samurai class was abolished in the late 1860s. But that's just my assumptions.

Did They Pass Down Katsuichi's Unique Style of Swordfighitng? I don't know either.

It is Katsuichi, Miyamoto's sensei, whom Miyamoto learned the way of the sword that had made him a great samurai. But it is not yet confirmed if Usagi's aunt learned the same style.

How does the Yuichi Line Connect to Miyamoto Usago? I don't know that either.

While Miyamoto Usagi is acknowledged as their ancestor, it didn't say in the show if Usagi and his Aunt came from the line of Miyamoto's paternal cousin, Yamamoto Yukichi, or from a descendant of (surname unknown) Jotaro, Miyamoto's son that was raised by his childhood love, Mariko, and childhood rival, Kenichi.

Hana and the other Ninja Orphan Kittens

In the Samurai Rabbit series, Hana and the other orphan ninjas are basically child soldiers. Chizu and Usagi rescued them and the orphans now lived a peaceful life with Usagi's aunt.

They still have a long way to go as they're still trying to get used to civilian life without looting or destroying property (as they did when Usagi and Gen took them on an outing).

Karasu-Tengu

Karasu-Tengu is the Master Yokai of all martial arts and also a nature yokai who doesn't like how Neo Edo had become because it destroyed a forest for it to become so big.

She was going to seclude herself into the deeper parts of the forests to protect and live in it. But Usagi figured out where to find her. She tried to shoo him away like how one would be whacking a slipper after a bug, Usagi fights her as he asks for her to be his sensei.

In the end, Usagi proved himself worthy, and they make a funny pair by how small and harmless Usagi looks like next to her -similar to Miaymoto and his sensei.

Samurai Rabbit has a lot of references to the Usagi Yojimbo comics with more characters. But this post is long enough.

Misplaced AU Leo with Usagi’s friends!!

So when Leo arrives at Neo Edo he becomes friends with all of Usagi’s friends. Here’s his relationship with each of them:

Gen and Leo (Top Left Corner): Leo actually really likes Gen. He loves his company probably because Gen reminds Leo of Raph. Gen also likes Leo too. He likes how he can actually plan things and LOVES the fact that Leo is a medic. Gen will go to Leo to check for his medical needs and Leo will check for him while teasing him a little.

Leo and Kitsune (Bottom Left Corner): When they first meet Kitsune actually didn’t like Leo. Thought he was a goodie-two-shoes, then she actually spoke to him and realize how wrong she was. The two love hanging out and causing some chaos, Leo does make sure they don’t do too much damage but they have fun nonetheless. Kitsune reminds Leo of Mikey a lot so he really enjoys her company a lot. FYI Kitsune LOVES the fact that Leo can glow and Leo will have his stripe glow just for her.

Leo and Chizu (Top and Bottom Right Corners): So the Top Corner is when they first meet, they didn’t like each other at all. Leo had a vibe about Chizu that he wasn’t sure. He could tell there was something wrong with her but also felt the need to help her for some reason. Meanwhile Chizu kept insisting to everyone that they shouldn’t trust Leo because he was a ninja and he was going to betray them (Oof HEAVY projecting there)

However after some time passes the two of them do become friends. They actually really enjoy each other’s company a lot. Leo helps Chizu loosen up a lot and lets her have more fun and Leo learns to balance when he needs to be more serious. Then we get to Chizu’s betrayal…I won’t spoil that sorry folks

Update on the fic, I was working on the first chapter, hated it and restarting it again so that’s fun. Anways, it will come out eventually, I just need to actually get the actual episodes. Anyways love you all and stay creative!!

My Usagi Chronicles Headcanons

I may have only seen season 1 but here we go!

Usagi

Yuichi Usagi has Autism and Combine ADD

He's also gay but that's obvious

Is a midnight snacker

Usagi ate bugs as a child and still remembers which were the best tasting ones. If you ask him he will tell you.

Actually you don't even have to ask a butterfly would land near by and he would tell the nearest person about how surprisingly crunchy butterflies are

The nearest person is usually Gen. Gen knows too much on the tastiness of bugs.

Auntie once told him that it's the law for kids not to curse until they're 18 and he still believes it

Usagi is very good at repairing the Farm Robot, like to the point of being able to build a new one if given the tools.

The only reason he can do this is because of how much he broke the robot.

Other than that Usagi was almost completely helpless with technology when he first moved to the city. There was a learning curve. A steep learning curve.

Spot was a gift from Auntie to help Usagi get over the death of his parents

Spot is actually trained to help Usagi when he is in emotional distress

AT LEAST ONE TIME Usagi was arrested for trying to scrub Miyamoto Usagi's face off a dartboard

Once in awhile Usagi will say something so country his friends will have to ask him what he means.

He thinks it's funny not to explain

Had to listen to Chizu pine after Kitsune and was very confused why Chizu couldn't just tell Kitsune her feelings.

"It's easy to tell people your feelings. Like, okay, look. Chizu, you are like the sister I've never had and I appreciate you very much." "Aww, thank you Usa-" "You also snore so much I'm surprised you were a ninja and you sing off pitch in the shower." "USAGI!" " What, just telling you how feel. "

BONUS LEOSAGI: Understood very suddenly why she couldn't tell Kitsune how she feels and makes Chizu listen to his pinning (She gets back at him)

LEOSAGI: He ended up buying a pun book to try and impress Leo (it worked)

Gen (and to an extent Toshiko)

Gen used to eat dirt before becoming a hypochondriac

This is canon but takes on a lot of odd jobs to the debt

One of those odd jobs was painting Miyamoto Usagi's face on the dartboards (Yuichi Usagi doesn't know)

He is also oddly skilled in a lot of weird things. That's why he keeps getting hired

Gen = Abandonment issues

Toshiko = Commitment issues

Keeps trying to rebuild his bond with Toshiko by trying to do things they used to do as kids

Toshiko appreciates this but wishes her older brother would realize that she's not interested in that stuff anymore

Toshiko was also a bounty hunter just in another town

They are both very confused whenever someone asks if they're twins.

They aren't twins btw

Gen is a trans man

There's free healthcare in Neo Edo. Gen does not know this.

Had to listen to Kitsune pine after Chizu

Kitsune

This girl is a lesbian if I ever saw one

Her parents taught her to use puppets before they died

FUN FACT (it's not a fact): Her twin tessens are from both her parents! They both had one to symbolize their love for each other! Now she's the only one of the family left she wields them both to carry them with her!

That being said she's very protective of them

Before they were dating, Chizu once tried giving her new ones because hers are old and that started a big fight

After they started dating, Kitsune told Chizu why she won't give her fans up. Chizu was very apologetic to say the least

Kleptomaniac

Has a box under her bed that has everything she stole but decided not to sell

Her room is the first place everyone goes to when something turns up missing

Curses the most

Actually figured out how to change the fridge's nickname to something other than "Ugh"

The fridge's nickname is now "Fucking Finally"

Usagi refuses to use the new nickname and just goes to her when he needs to use the fridge

Has woken up several times in the middle of the night because of this

Short Queen 👑

Chizu

MtF trans lesbian

The Neko Ninja may be bad guys but they're not transphobic

She tried to overcompensate for lying about being a ninja by vowing to never lie again

This fell apart when she developed feelings for Kitsune

Loves her small girlfriend

Was actually the one to confess

(and punched Usagi in the face when he said "I told you so" he deserved it)

Doesn't know a lot of social cues

Her love language is gift giving. Weapons. Her love language is gifting people weapons

Sees Usagi as an annoying little brother

Sings in the shower

Likes to take naps in high places (the rafters are he favorite)

Has a very unintentionally dark sense of humor from growing up in the Neko Ninjas

Kinda wants to know who her birth parents are

Doesn't know her actual birthday due to being stolen from the orphanage

[wtf-a-psychoanalysis]

As much as i love Leosagi (Katanashipping and Leoichi). I wish there was more content on Usagi and co or Samurai rabbit, alone.

Where's the Tomoe fan art, the Jotaro head canons or the Kenichi and Usagi enemies to lovers lol for the comics.

Where's the Kitsune x chizu fanfictions, the Hana spin off fan comics or even a prequel fanfic on the wars mentioned in the Netflix show.

Or even fan characters for both

Overall i want more Usagi content with out Leo (no shade on him though)

[drawnaghht]

Lineups and outfit ideas for my TMNT x USAGI mega-crossover! Pt 1!

Heyo! so this was done a while ago (summer and a bit of autumn) but I wasn't in the mood to post it yet as I was very busy this past year.

Here we have: Gen, Chizu, Kitsune and Usagi in undercover outfit ideas for when they find themselves in New York city in 2023, where they're found out by a few strange older turtles... and some of the 2003 cast from 2023! Don't worry, I have another sheet for Mikey and Donnie, they are not absent from this crossover :)

Hope you enjoy! These were very fun to draw and put together :) I'm particularly proud of that Gen and Kitsune!
