#plus this is the FUCKING SERIES FINALE SO IF IT HAPPENS TO GET LEAKED DON'T SPOIL THE ENDING PLEASE

[agrebel18]

it’s so funny to me that toh twt and tiktok have lied that “watching and dreaming” got leaked like several times and ended up being false every time, so if the finale ACTUALLY DOES get leaked (hopefully not!) then we’re not gonna believe it because of how many liars there are lol

[that-spider-fan-over-there]

Okay I have calmed down from the leaks since last night- And I have opinions (some of them are salty; again, it's because I hate leak nights XP)

Yeah I stand by what I said: This isn't the end for Tenko, since his Quirk is still half of Overhaul's, there's a chance he'll get a Quirk Awakening the vestige world (or wherever the frick that dude is, AFO/OFA all but were mutually destroyed).

So maybe it is a rebirth (If there's a chapter called "Tenko Shimura: Rising" or "Rebirth" remember I called it XD) for him, either rising from the ashes like a phoenix or even shedding that coccon from the butterfly metaphor, it is one of his motifs after all.

I'm also split 50/50 on Izuku ending the series Quirkless, but I believe it's a red herring- because he and Tenko did fist bump before he decayed, bloodied fist. OFA has a conscience of it's own, so if you say it was a "Heroes: Rising" ending I'm gonna have to ask "from the drafts" or the "final product". But to be fair I was already biased when it comes to this outcome.

Also, that thing from Chapter 362, I'm still on edge about that one; because it could've been an afterlife thing but he doesn't even know what Aura Might looks like, so maybe we'll get a return on that (I'm sorry for constantly bringing it up but I refuse to believe that was a small easter egg HORIKOSHI WHY WAS KATSUKI THERE-)

Oh yeah, speaking of which: if the goal was a perfect victory with no casualties, then Izuku won against AFO to save Tenko, but the mission isn't finished yet until he sees Tenko taking his hand with a smile; how is he gonna do that, unsure, but he does have a knack for making unlikely things happen. Remember, Eri herself wasn't saved until she smiled at the Cultural Festival.

Also maybe (and it's a huge maybe) that's the thing that breaks the hidden POV- faced with a failure from the very thing he was trying to avoid, breaking down because. Well look at everything he got thrown at him post-PLF, burdened to save the world, failing to save someone and realizing he can't be a sitting duck, finding out one of his friends was a traitor, didn't even get time to process Katsuki's death, thought he'd be unable to stop Toshinori's, for a brief moment lost his arms-

This one might actually make him get close to a Despair Event Horizon, (I'm 100% sure if Mirio wasn't there he'd shut down by 367) ... then somehow, he gets convinced to not give up, of course it's by Katsuki (he's already there might as well XP) because he's the only one that can make things stick in Izuku's head atp, finding the motivation and getting that mixed with determination to say it's not over yet. And it isn't.

Besides, I don't trust the leakers to do a good translation over bait interactions, they've done it three times that I know of, so uh maybe don't gather your emotions from what they say; trust me, it's an annoying spiral of doomerism.

... plus if Tenko actually somehow transferred something of AFO/OFA they don't have the vestiges anymore so uh maybe something is still shimmering under the surface (I'm getting my own hopes up XD). Also again I do want a follow-up on 362 because I want Tenko and Katsuki to interact it'd be very funny even with the angst in my freaking opinion please-

And one more thing: I have yet to see Izuku reaching out with a smile to save others like he wanted in the first place.

TL;DR: It's most likely a red herring, Tenko is gonna shed the Tomura mask he was trapped in and come back somehow, maybe the vestige world is intact but without the users or AFO, and I still wanna know what the fuck was 362 about. Also no offense but.

This fight is only gonna be a loss if Izuku finally breaks down, gives up and no one (*cough*letsberealitsKatsuki*cough*) is able to convince him otherwise. And we get a shit time skip. Either of the last two would have to happen for this to be real and it hasn't yet so wait this ain't over.

omg tumblr ate the first paragraph of this LOL WHY

I basically just apologized because I was the og anon who mentioned the full leak the SH Sunday info came from was sus/heavily stated not confirmed from what I gathered online, but many people saw it, took it, ran with it outside of the full context and made it look more confirmed. It seems a lot has happened to your inbox since then so I hope it wasn't too much of a bother! I overthink these things...

honestly I have personally seen great reasonings both for and against the SH and AE for Sunday. I have faith that whatever they write for him will be great regardless, but I do hope it will be AE just to see him more x) I heard (I don't recall this being said in a stream but I may be wrong) that Shaoji's fave character from the cast IS Sunday, so I definitely think extra care will be given and regardless of where he ends up, the story will be satisfying.

And who knows... maybe he will be given the Firefly treatment where he gets a bunch of ads and additional screen time 👀 personally I'm anxiously awaiting his merch series. hyv never fails in that department (well, maybe they miss out on small seemingly better merch ideas but still lol). Like I bought some Aven and Robin merch and I am SO excited for future versions of those that will be Sunday themed (like light cone sand block). Plus his cute little nendo with Robin and oh boy I'm getting sidetracked lol

Personally I wasn't fully sold on the SH Sunday side until I saw a video on YouTube about it. All people talking about it really glossed over details and made it sound very circumstantial vs tailored to Sunday. I also do think that though Sunday has done some morally ambiguous things, I lowkey feel like he would still ?? can't think of the word but I imagine a version of Sunday almost clutching pearls because of the intensity of what the SH do sometimes. He viewed his ideals/methods as worth it, but idk if he'd feel that way about others' methods for similar ideals, if that makes sense. Either way, I'm excited for him to be a permanently relevant cast member. WE ARE IN THE FINAL STRETCH I CAN'T WAIT

dude i completely forgot to reply to this BUT YOURE FINEEE DWDW I WASNT THAT BOTHERED BY IT honestly i was just being dramatic GOODBYE 😭😭😭 bc imma be so fr. i dont care where sunday ends up and honestly ae works out bc we see him more !!! i just want sunday to do some crimes. personally

HONESTLY HE HAS TO. IF HE DOESNT GET THE AVENTURINE/FIREFLY TREATMENT IM GOING TO COMMIT A FELONY I WANT THAT MAN ANIMATED !!! tis what he deserves....

and yeah you're right he would clutch some of his pearls but at the same time i personally don't think he'd be too opposed to it depending on who it's being done to - how i see sunday is that he is completely fine with doing fucked up things if the people he's doing them to are also just as fucked up/are a threat, if that makes sense? but yeah he'd probably be like wtf... when he sees silver wolf unleash idk a bunch of data demons and watch them wreak havoc... IDK !! i still think sh sunday would be a fun idea BECAUSE of how he clutches his pearls but he's still there regardless bc elios plan to save the universe is pretty appealing... also adds the whole paradise thing in there too if that makes sense.... but again ae is also amazing for him so good for lil baby

BUT HES HERE !!! HES HERE AND IM GOING TO BITE HIM !!!! SUNDAY FANS REJOICE WHATEVER STANDPOINT YOURE ON

Well, I guess it's time to address the situation... or the lack of situation lol This is gonna be long, be warned. There's a TL;RD at the end if you wanna skip the wall of text. To start, thank you to the two anons who took the time to read the comic and prod me about it and the new people who started following this tumblr in spite of the Hiatus warning. Altho this place has been collecting dust for more than a year now, I'm still around, updating my side reblogs tumblr, so it's not like I dropped from the face of the earth.

The truth is, at this moment in time, I've feel out of love with making this comic. It was always a lot of work due to me being a perfectionist. I never used any extra rendering apps, all you've seen here is raw sims images and a lot of work on Photoshop, so much so it gave me a muscle contracture on my right shoulder (because I did all my work in bed with my laptop/drawing tablet in my lap. I never said I was a smart person lol) that still flares up from time to time because I learned nothing. Then the VA fandom was already quite small by the time I started doing this in 2015 and I never really advertised this in the fandom anyway. I always got the impression most of the fandom didn't like the OG comics as it was and most of the people that followed the comic were sims 2 fans because, well, it's made with the sims and the images were pretty (forever holding in my heart the people you said this <;3) The recent "Vampire Academy" TV series (it was just in names, honestly) was the final nail in the coffin of my motivation. After information had leaked I was already disappointed in it, but after actually watching it, yeah no. Only plus to it was the surprise to see it was partially filmed in my country, in places where I have been myself. And lastly, and probably most importantly, I struggle with motivation a lot. It happens to us all, I am sure. It's no secret that I hated to panel, if I'd start all over again I'd just post the big images like many of you telling stories are doing now, it'd be less of a stress for me, but alas, I can't change formats now. And I said many times I was doing it mostly for myself, because I did love the comics based on the books, but doing it for yourself only gets you so far until you get bored. And I got bored. I'm actually surprised my hyper-focus on it lasted for as long as it did. I haven't been to Photoshop for editing - I used to make photomanipulations and other kinds of editing - for way over a year, so it's not only the comic that stopped.

I still have 7 pages to end chapter 6 in various degrees of editing, Veninorchid and Esotheria-sims have seen them, so they exist lol I will eventually finish editing them - it's mostly a Romitri flashback - and post them. But after that, I will have to decide how to proceed. Spending less time editing would help, but lowering the quality of my pages, the only thing people like about it, really doesn't sit well with me, because yeah, perfectionist.

So at the very least the remaining pages will be posted in early 2024, I might go back to it slowly, a little bit everyday so I don't burn out or put stress on my shoulder. But after that, it's up in the air. It's not like I've been staring at the walls during this time, I had other things taking my goldfish-like attention. I got interested in home bookbinding, which made me dig out old unfinished stories I once started and I've been trying to finish them and later try to bind them, because why the fuck not lol And on my reblogs tumblr I had this set of pictures about a Regency little story that people really loved and I'd like to add to it, but then again, all the editing it'd need *cries* I feel tugged in so many directions I fear I'll end up doing nothing lol

So the TL;DR is, I got bored with the comic because it was too much work and resulted in physical pain, I lacked the motivation and other things got my attention meanwhile. Chapter 6 will be be finished eventually, but after that it's up in the air. Cross my fingers that I get my mojo back while editing those pages. Still, a thank you to all of followed and are still following, sorry these were not the good news you wanted to read just because I made a post. You support up until now was what kept me going in the past, I can't thank you all enough.

Ultraman Taiga Movie Analysis & Predictions

Back from watching the trailer for another dozen times just to see if there's any other clues

So let's start by getting the obvious out of the way first

1. Toregia is behind Taro's corruption

Why?

The appearance of the corrupted Storium Ray here is reminiscent of the corrupted Storium Blaster that Taiga fired at Titus when he was corrupted by Toregia

Also

Need I say more?

In addition

In the official website, Toregia and Kirisaki are stated to appear in the cast list

So, next question, in fact, probably one of the most important,

How?

So I think the answer to this lies in what exactly happened after Toregia and Taro both detonated their respective Ultra Dynamites

So prior to that, Toregia seemingly totally disintegrated Taiga, which led to Taro thinking that his son has just been killed directly in front of him

In a fit of rage and overwhelmed with grief, Taro let's his guard down and charges in with Ultra Dynamite, in which after usage, the user Ultra will temporarily disintegrate into light particles and has to reform

And during that period of time, let's not forget that Toregia wouldve also disintegrated into light particles, except that he's definitely corrupted as well, which meant that it's possible for his light particles to corrupt Taro's as we can presume that the Ultras are very vulnerable when disintegrated as we saw Fuma wasn't able to do anything when he was a crystal

Like what Mebius pointed out before in his series, it's a forbidden technique cause it's a risky move to use

Plus Taro's in a state of extreme grief, so this might be further dropped his guard which allowed Toregia to corrupt Taro without much difficulty

This further supports the reason why Toregia was able to escape Taro 15 years ago back in the M78 Universe

And perhaps Toregia was really addressing the corrupted Taro back in Taiga ep 15 when he corrupted Taiga

And this is also why he purposely didn't kill the Tri Squad, just so he can pit corrupted Taro against them in the movie, definitely something his sick mind would come up with

2. How does Grimude and Reiga fit into all of this?

Firstly, I suppose Taiga would eventually be able to reach out to Taro in his mindscape, just like how EGIS and the Tri Squad did to the then corrupted Taiga

But after that, let's talk about Grimude first

So since he's a 'Evil Demon God' of some kind, I suspect that he's the one responsible for corrupting Toregia in the first place, and perhaps may also be the one who corrupted Taro as well if we want to also say that Toregia is also in a vulnerable state while he's disintegrated to light particles

But by that logic, we can also say that Toregia may be totally not involved in this and everything has been under the influence of Grimude himself as he seeks to get directly involved and having Toregia to stand down this time

So after Taro regains control, either Grimude or Toregia will descend and directly challenge the New Gen

After a severe beatdown, all the New Gen fuses into Reiga and yep, final showdown

Not too surprising if it turns out this way considering that TsuPro has been really elusive with information this year

3. Additional important information

From the same official website, this part specifically:

2 things to point out:

a) Grigio's VA is on the list

This mean cancel last mic, Reiga will be a fusion of 11 Ultras

But this also means that we won't see Asahi cause she's not part of the cast list but only on the VA list

b) Powered has a VA

(Thanks to several of my followers pointing this out to me, I totally had no idea at first)

Of course, obvious question, what the fuck is Powered doing here?

Well, 2020 is Powered's 25th Anniversary and tbh I don't think he's gonna be in on the action

Like sure he's pretty much an Ultra Brother Level Glass Cannon, he's super fast, super strong in terms of brute strength and beam potency (potentially Ultra Brother Level) but iirc, his durability is really lacking

And considering that this is basically the New Gen movie, most likely he's just gonna play a side role, nothing really important, maybe as minor as Taro's appearance in the Geed Movie or something

Or unless he arrives also plays the same role as Grigio, which is definitely possible as with his ridiculous speed and beam potency, he's a pretty solid Ultra Brother Level long ranged support unit

4. Clarification on contradictory information

So let's recap, we received trademarks of Grimude, that was released alongside the Shin Ultraman trademark

We also received the Reiga trademark

These were corroborated in the leaked Bandai 2020 Item Catalog List:

But yet we don't see any VAs for Grimude in the official webpage

So what I think is going on is two possibilities:

a) Grimude won't be appearing in this movie

This would explain the lack of his VA

Which means Reiga would be taking on Toregia, most likely unsealed as although Toregia IS powerful, I don't think hes THAT POWERFUL enough to stand against an 11 Ultra Fusion, even unsealed tbh

But this could be reconciled by Taro stopping Reiga from landing the finishing blow on Toregia due to their past friendship

b) Grimude will be appearing in this movie

Tbh I'm leaning more towards this cause despite the lack of his VA, let's not forget that TsuPro has been very elusive with the information they've been relaying to the public, like they totally mislead us with the Q2 scans, UGF as well as till this day, we STILL don't have a Taiga movie catalog leak

So Grimude's VA was likely a purposeful omission

Cause Im definitely seeing a grand battle of two super powered beings going at it to end the Heisei Era officially and kick-start the Reiwa Era with a blast
