He and Reycho moved in with Vanilla and Aniki after the main story, so they’re part of the family.

He makes his own “Secret Sauce”, which is Mayo, ketchup, a bit of soy sauce, a handful of spices, salt, pepper, and a dash of hot sauce.

His parents definitely own a local restaurant.

Chuko

Her comfort food is definitely anything with cheese. Especially pasta with said ingredient.

She won’t hesitate to jump into action when someone is in danger.

Tattsun

He has an entire collection of comic and manga books at home, mostly ones of Shonen anime.

This is perfect

kansai calls mowchan 弱虫毛虫 (yowamushi kemushi, lit. "cowardly caterpillar") because the 毛 in caterpillar can be read "mou"

mowchan gets upset and argues that no, the mou in his name is 猛 from 猛者 (mosa, "tough guy") because he wants to be a cool daring hero

Some thoughts and details on my last Gamefly rental, World’s End Club(spoilers for the introductory chapter, for a reason, if you want to skip the first six paragraphs).

During a bus ride for a school trip in 1995, a group of kids, their group called the Go-Getters Club, suddenly wake up in an underwater theme park after a meteor crashes into Tokyo, it’s shockwaves causing the bus to crash. 

A small jester-like being named Pielope then tells them they’re trapped and have to play a Game of Fate to escape, having to complete Tasks on their Wristbands to get a Magic Key to unlock the door to leave. There are several catches, though: each Wristband isn’t for the wearer, but someone else, and only 1 can escape, the rest being eliminated, so they’ll need to find their Task from the others and stop the rest from completing theirs in 1 hour. This swiftly leads to a Danganronpa-esque scenario, with betrayal and distrust occurring swiftly, some being noted to not be acting like themselves.

Eventually, the main playable character, Reycho, manages to win, but finds out that those who were eliminated weren’t killed, just captured, and saves them. Pielope prepares to start up Round 2, but is kicked and seemingly destroyed by Pai, who then claims to know who the mastermind is, and they’re in the current group. As she’s about to reveal who, an earthquake occurs, which causes the glass keeping the ocean water out to crack, and a diving helmet falls and hits her head, causing her to forget.

As the exit is still locked from Reycho using the Magic Key to save the others, they appear to be trapped, but Reycho sees a small model submarine to use, and Awakens a power that lets him pitch and toss the heavy diving helmet at it to lower it, the group piling in and escaping.

Washing up on a shore, they find an abandoned town full of overgrowth and see some X-shaped things in the sky, as the player is shown a newspaper that says “Tokyo Destroyed!’. The kids find out they’re in Kagoshima, far from where they were in Karakura. They then split up to explore the city in groups, Reycho’s group finding weird plant monsters and a creepy dog-like creature that chases them. Mowchan, who had wandered off, Awakens his power and drives the dog monster off.

After regrouping, they decide to make the 1200km trek across Japan back to Tokyo to see what happened when the meteor fell. However, Pai’s words about the mastermind are still in their minds, with some suspicion still stirring in the group.

Now, the game really begins.

The gameplay is partly platforming and puzzle solving, with some combat and boss fights, as well, needing to use the kids’ Awakened powers to proceed, but a vast majority of it is story scenes, kind of like a visual novel, and I think the story and characters are it’s strongest points.

Kind of annoyingly, almost everything that can hurt you kills in one hit, though is pretty forgiving with checkpoints. The action parts and puzzles aren’t too difficult overall, either, imo, except near the very end(with one important puzzle feeling pretty clever).

The members of the Go-Getters eventually Awaken to a unique power, used by pressing the ‘A’ button, Reycho being able to throw heavy objects, Mowchan being able to turn to iron and roll around, etc. A few, namely Chuko, Tattsun and Aniki, need to be ‘prepped’ before the abilities can be used(for example, Chuko quickly eats a bag of spicy Karamucho chips to be able to breath fire when you hit ‘A’, which takes a couple seconds). 

Their Awakened abilities can be fun, though I feel that the game doesn’t have them use their Awakened skills as much as they could, since you only ever get to use one at a time(you can’t manually switch between them; it’s always story-based who’s being controlled), though a few sections have them playable in succession after a short cutscene. I’m guessing the story was the heavier focus, but that’s done well, so it’s not too big a deal. Maybe they can expand on this type of gameplay in a later project.

At several points in the story, the group will make camp, and you’ll be able to speak to everyone present. Anyone with new dialogue to say will have a ‘!’ above them, and ‘...’ when they don’t. 

Multiple times in the story, there’ll be points where the story branches, either the group splitting up or choosing to all go somewhere over another. Once you finish Ending 1, you can go back and choose to go a different way, needing to see everything to see the True Ending, but you’re stuck with what you chose until then.

Throughout the Action stages, there’ll be Stickers to collect of an in-universe Super Sentai series, indicated by an area having sparkles floating around. Most of them are easy to get, but a couple are slightly more difficult to reach or make appear. You don’t get anything for finding them all, they’re there just there to look at.

The game has a very nice-looking, charming artstyle and characters(which also translate well to their 3D models), done by ‘take’(who also did designs for Pokemon Sword and Shield), and it kind of feels like a field trip or mini-tour of several parts of Japan(they even go to Shirakawa-go, the same village Hinamizawa from Higurashi is based on, though aside from evening cicadas crying, it’s not otherwise referenced). The story is mostly light-hearted, unlike other Kazutaka Kodaka/Kotaro Uchikoshi works, but does have heavy moments here and there.

The club have their own charming anthem that they sing on a few occasions. Here’s one of the first English versions that plays during the game. It’s sung by the cast in both English and Japanese voice tracks, the former including AmaLee, who voices Vanilla, and sounds good in both to me. 

The group even has a little ‘gesture’ they do, two fist bumps to their own chest and then outstretching their right arm while doing a thumbs up, which I may have joined in on a few times.

I won’t say who it is, because it’s a big spoiler, but I feel like there’s a certain character that I’d like to have seen some more interaction with between them and the main characters.

Though their other works are probably overall better, I definitely recommend this, and it seems to go on sale mildly often, from what I’ve seen.

Next game being sent is: One Step From Eden.

*Kai and Kirumi also enter the kitchen.*

Your not gonna help Yuki? You always help Mowchan with breakfast.

Also Yuki... Where were you? We've been worried....

Well. I heard a noise and left my room. It was about 00:45.PM...

𝐘𝐮𝐤𝐢'𝐬 𝐏𝐎𝐕 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭.

sᴄʀᴇᴇᴇᴇᴄʜ.

*Yuki wakes up to a strange noise.*

Huh? What was that?

*Yuki was about to leave her room when she stopped and remembered what Miaya had said.*

"Dont leave your room after midnight." But I'm never gonna get back to sleep if I just ignore the noise.

*With caution Yuki opens her dorm room door.*

Hello? Anyone?? Miaya- BNGHHH!!!!

*Yuki was grabbed by someone and had there mouth covered. Preventing any noise to come out of her.*

W-Where am I.... Who took me here...

*Yuki examined the room and realised she was on a top floor of a building.*

"I told you not to leave your room Yuki."

*Hm? Yuki looked around and then noticed a short figure... Likely someone in a wheelchair.*

I told everyone not to leave there rooms after midnight. So why did you? Actually dont even answer. I've had it with rule breakers like you.

*Miaya gets out of her wheelchair and.*

𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐁!

*Yuki blacks out due to the sudden stab to the stomach.*

𝐘𝐮𝐤𝐢'𝐬 𝐏𝐎𝐕 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭: 𝐄𝐧𝐝.

It's a good thing I'm AI or else I'd of died due to blood loss.

*Yuki then lifts up her jacket and shirt to reveal a stab wound in her stomach. But why would Miaya do this....?*

We've returned with breakfast.

*Kai, Kirumi, and Teruteru look confused as to why the mood is suddenly low.*

What happened? Did Miu and Kokichi return?

Don't trust the therapist.

Excuse me?

[shy-the-trash-lion]

hello i dont have tumblr but i came across your stuff by a friend and ur art is so cute !! also a small request that you dont have 2 do but spare mowchan content ? :-0

Take some Mowchan featuring Kansai and Tattsun!

[loves1xk-library]

Evil. Evil grin.

World's End Clubs spoilers;

So we have this group of 11 kids!!!

Reycho, Kansai, Pochi, Mowchan, Vanilla, Tattsun, Aniki, Pai, Nyoro, Chuko, Jennu

(And Yuki, but she's added on later!!)

So they're going on some field trip to Tokyo (I think??) And then there's suddenly a meteor and they blackout, waking up in an underwater theme park where they're forced to play a killing game (fun fact; made by the creators of Danganronpa...) BUT the killing game is a lie, the mastermind behind it found out later!!

You lead Reycho to victory, Pochi being the only one you can really trust, he trusts you too, but gets eliminated soon

So you win a key to open any lock, and you can "choose" to open the door to the outside world or the bot that "kills" the rest of your friends. (Choose is in quotations because... vanilla stops you from opening the damn door.)

Reycho has some super throwing power too.

So they get out in Fujisaki (I think?? Is that even how you spell it? Either way -- FAR away from where they're supposed to be) and find out they're in a post-apocalypse world. Everything's overgrown, the powers out, and there's literally mutated plants that try to eat them... which is cray zee. (Hence the name World's End Club!)

So they all end up having powers, slowly revealed throughout the game.

We find Yuki, she falls out of the sky with amnesia, during a snowstorm. (Also not too important but Pochi gets kidnapped by a fucking Yeti. That apparently wanted to make him it's wife? Idk it's funny to me)

We learn about X-Types, people that can talk to Otherworlders (aka us, the players!!) Reycho protects the Go-Getters (aka all 12 of them) and it turns out he's a robot, with Pochi controlling him.

So they kick Pochi out, because their leader was a robot being controlled by him?? That makes sense.(/s)

They eventually realize that Pochi was literally the one saving them this whole time, but are attacked by MAIK's robots!!

(MAIK is a robot Nyoro's dad built, there's a literal cult for MAIK... MAIK even refers to MAIK as a god?? <- I don't think MAIK has pronouns canonically. Slay for the el gee bee tee's)

MAIK is literally pronounced Mike. It's crazy

So you'll never guess... Pochi is also a robot!! Sent by MAIK to spy on the Go-Getters!! But he gains emotions and with the magic of friendship (🐎) he decides to go against MAIK and protect them!!

So they also find out Pai can like. See ghosts and shit and that Vanilla is a ghost (it's her power, she's not actually dead) and that literally everyone blames themselves for her death?? Which she saved them by doing it... A truck was gonna hit them so she died so it didn't.

Another side note, Kansai's hero is Jennu's dead sister's husband or something?? Which is so crazy

So they find out Vanilla is in HEAVEN - an organization or something? MAIK's mainframe is also there so they go there to save Vanilla or whatever... So you'll never guess what happens next; Yuki is apart of MAIK.

And that cult I mentioned earlier? The leader, Master (WHO NAMES THEIR KID THIS.), is here to kill them, with a semi-repaired Reycho who now wants to kill them!! It doesn't work because the magic of friendship makes him jump into MAIK's shield, killing him again and disabling it.

So there's an epic boss battle because they still want Yuki to be alive so using Vanilla's coding skills or whatever they program it so only Yuki is alive.

Reycho isn't dead. He's alive and walks into the room after they go "all of us are back together!!" "No... we're missing one..." "Reycho..." and he can speak now!! Insane!!

Also Chuko and Kansai are like?? Enemies to lovers or something??

other people have played worlds end club????? oh my goodness

YOU'VE PLAYED??? I KNOW YOU FROM ILO'S TUMBLR WAHH?? HELLO YOU.
