Guys, it's June, meaning it's Pride Month! 🏳️🌈 And we got pretty beautiful art this time around again...
"It's rainy season in Japan. Enjoy wearing your favourite rain gear. 😃 Piyomon and Tailmon also like pink rain coats. 🎶" ❤️🩷
(Sidenote: I feel validated, considering I published this a few days ago.)

Preliminary Round: Revue Starlight
Propaganda below cut
Hikaru
Battle girlfriends with Karen Aijo. Competes in sword fights to decide who is the “top star.” Also sings during these sword fights. Commonly uses swords as props in plays.
Karen
There are so many other Revue Starlight characters I could submit because so many of them have swords (one even has two!) but Karen is the main character and has a sword so I think she deserves this personally. Her sword is, depending on your translation, called either Possibility of Puberty (which I find funnier) or Possibility of Youth (which I prefer but it's also so much less silly)
Nana
She has a double Katana and I think out of all the revue starlight girlies she’s the coolest. I’m sure someone smarter can talk about the symbolism of her swords. Regardless of that tho, she’s so strong even if she doesn’t appear as a strong contender, she won a sword fight competition for 60 times in a row resulting her creating a time loop. If that isn’t cool enough she has an entire fight with epic music of her taking on her entire class and winning. Like a full 1vs 8 fight and she won and looked so cool doing it; She’s literally the messiest theatre lesbian I’ve ever seen and it shows in her sword fights. Like no one sane would win a sword competition in an underground stage over and over again every year only to use the “wish” to turn back time and repeat it again and again.
Well, she has two swords. BUT this is important cause in revstar, blade length signifies someone's brilliance as an actress. So this immediately means that Nana is overpowered compared to literally everyone else.(oh and she used the swords/brilliance to trap everyone in a time loop due to her childhood loneliness but I don't know how important this is to this poll)
Maya
maya wields a rapier with a white gem, as coordinated to her image colour, for a pommel, named odette the mavericks. the sword is eponymous to its name and significant as to her major motifs—the rapier is forged with a long, slender blade, as well as a golden grip assembled with the shape of a swan’s wings. whilst there are a number of swordswomen within revue starlight, maya undoubtedly takes position zero when it comes to the effortlessness and swiftness of swordsmanship within the revues—effectively winning against a wide majority of her opponents and cutting them down effortlessly, all whilst putting on the greatest performance. https://youtu.be/SX8-exfskeo https://youtu.be/c3rrQpwKwPI (yes, she loses in this one, but her PERFORMANCE is outstanding). a few notable moments of maya’s swordswomanship throughout the revues are, The LIVE #1, in which, during a revue against saijou claudine, she uses mavericks to stab her in the shoulder and cut down the button of her pelisse jacket, achieving position zero and winning said revue. https://ibb.co/kSWjvFX Starry Diamond, in which, during a revue teamed with daiba nana, she effectively cut down her opponents and decided to further cut down nana as to further achieve position zero on her own—cutting into both of nana’s arms before soon removing the button from her pelisse jacket, as well. https://streamable.com/fx1edd The LIVE #3, in which she is set against three separate opponents, each with varying weapons—longsword, axe, bow and arrow—and continued to best all three of them simultaneously. https://streamable.com/gp430d https://streamable.com/n8tucw https://streamable.com/c7roo1 https://streamable.com/syno6z . . . and, again, everything about THIS revue. https://youtu.be/c3rrQpwKwPI
Claudine
A simple design, the handle a gold. Someone has stated that it looks like a Lego sword if you shrunk it and I think that's funny. Saijo Claudine throws her sword in one episode to help another character get higher and I think that's cool; She's french and is aligned with silver and her rival is always first place but Claudine is also really good and her sword deserves more attention 🤙🤙

We're eating well, once again.
Mimi: Holds up the flag with the Crests of her two primary love interests in particular, a MOOD. Also still the only one thoroughly committed to wearing her associated colours, red and pink, so we know, all the budget went into Mimi's design once again and nobody can blame the lead designer, because she is gorgeous.
Sora: Which is why they didn't have enough budget to give Sora pants too, which is a shame. The only one to wear her signature colour (Yamato doesn't count, because they ALL wear blue) and... A telescope... A telescope... Still an insanely pretty ensemble overall.
Hikari: Will never stop munching on sweets, no matter what happens. Which is what she deserves.
Jyou: "YOU HELD THE MAP THE WRONG WAY, NOW WE ARE LOST AND NEVER GONNA MAKE IT BACK, AAAAAAAAAAAAH."
Yamato: "Wasn't Taichi on map duty anyway?" (He seems to have captain privileges, probably because of previous swan boat skills.)
Taichi: "Jyou wanted to take over, so I didn't stop him..." (HE LOOKS SO COOL, UGH. Also, aside from that, I like that he may just be "second in command" here? We know he is used to take charge, but also that he's not always wanting to be in the lead. Plus, at that age, never give him a map. N e v e r.)
Koushirou & Takeru: *just doing their own thing, living their best lives on the kids' table with Hikari*
