well we got kr siz, who is wolf boy diend, not a combination i saw coming... unless he's a cat boy 'cuz he could be a cat burgular

ooooh, yeah, a cat would make sense with the claws too! I think it is supposed to either be cat or wolf, dogs don't tend to get the claw theming like that. 🤔 honestly, Diend is SO opposite from anyone I had speculated on for the furryboy that it is hilarious and I genuinely love this surprising new direction for him. they made (half of) W a catboy, why not Diend too?

(Siz seems pretty far removed from Daiki as a character, but I would kind of love it if he was also a thief, just...in the background. it never actually comes up in the story, he just occasionally leaps in through a window covered in jewels and this is never remarked upon once.)

do you think Lance Tendo from the unreleased mobile game ride kamens would like to see the old fanart i drew of his alternate personality? Hmm the answer would probably be no...

31 Ichiko :3

31. Cursed/turned into an animal

"So… how did you turn into a cat?"

Ichiko just stares at Lance.

"…Right, guess you can't answer like this." He sighs, holding up Ichiko's necklace, "It's a good thing you had this, otherwise I wouldn't have known this was you."

Ichiko nods as best she can, stretching her feline body. Ryu-tan would probably think they're the cutest thing in the world like this…

Dammit, now they got herself sad over Ryutaros.

"Aww, your ears drooped! You grumpy?" Oh, Q's fronting now. "I think I have just the thing to cheer you up!" He turns to grab something from a drawer.

Okay, she definitely doesn't trust that. They should probably get out of there before— holy shit a red dot. Fuck whatever she was worrying about, she needs to catch that dot now now nownownow.

Q smirks, moving the laser pointer around the room as Ichiko follows. If he accidentally left the laser on one of Lance's things for a bit too long, that's a Lance problem.

So I've mentioned before that Hisagi Shuuhei's given name Shuuhei[修兵]: "disciplined soldier" is a homonym with shuuhei[州兵]: lit. "state+soldier" but refers to both the organization and individuals of a "National Guard" and contextually the US National Guard specifically. And I've mentioned how it kinda plays into his characterization in relation to his zanpakutou. But something that maybe isn't as apparent is how he shares a very loose theme with Kensei.

Kensei's got a weird mix of things going on and it always felt to me like part of it kind of pivoted half way thru the series, and really the Visored in general, where he started with a sort of US military theme but got shifted into being more of a Japanese style biker gang leader instead(and how that plays into Mashiro's toku hero gimmick)

Among other things he's got the retroactively named move, BakudanTsuki[爆弾突き]: "bomb thrust" that has a subtle militaristic connotation to it. But then in context it's the same root word for "bomb" used in Bambietta's Schrift The Explode[爆撃]: "bombing(raid)" like in an aerial bombing from a plane.

(The other attack there is just SANDBAG BEAT[サンドバッグ・ビート] which doesn't feel especially thematic, but I guess does kind of evoke him being in something like a more western boxing gym, rather than any kind of japanese or samurai specific aesthetics like you'd expect from Soul Society. And his given name is written as "West(ern) Fist")

And then his zanpakutou, Tachikaze appears to be, at least in my mind, evocative of the Tachikaze class destroyer ship. Although I admit that's largely on the back of my own kind of wild/broad speculation about the Visored more as a group than anything supported by just him specifically.

Shuuhei ka tsuyosou na namae janee ka! Nakuna![修兵が強そうな名前じゃねえか! 泣くな!]: "Shuuhei is a strong looking name isn't it? Don't cry!"

It feels too obvious to need spelling out, but he's not just giving the generic pep talk, he's very specifically pointing out the Shuuhei's name means "Disciplined Soldier" so he should act like one.

I wish I could find it again but I swear there was some transcript of an interview where Kubo more or less reiterated stuff he'd been asked in other similar Q&A but mentioned that he doesn't really design characters with a background in mind, he just draws what feels cool and comes up with a story and personality to match the look. And mroe over that he similarly doesn't design characters with their relationships in mind, he just takes the characters he's already made and imagines which ones look like they'd get along in some way or another. (Among other things this explains why the same women keep showing up in 8th division, not because Nanao and Risa, or even Risa and Kyoraku were ever meant to be meaningfully related but because Kubo just keeps making these women who look the same and ends up pigeonholing them into the same basic network of characters.) Again i can't seem to find this specific Q&A though so take that "factoid" with a grain of salt.

Still it's with that in mind that it feels like Shuuhei and Kensei ended up together. Not because Kensei was ever actually meant to be Shuuhei's childhood hero but because they both had a soldier gimmick and so Kubo's brain filed them into the same general corner together. And it's from that link that he specifically made their meeting in the TBtP arc punctuated with this line about Shuuhei's name.

Also Shuuhei's got his whole motorcycle thing which is weirdly never actually brought up in the context of Kensei's biker thing and his hollow form made to look like car parts; although it's Shuuhei who's only briefly nodded to as the orbital factoid around Jackie's whole gay leather biker daddy themed Dirty Boots. (Very funny that between that and Mashiro's Kamen Rider homage that we have two implicitly motorcycle riding kicky ladies in Bleach. "...two nickles..." and all that...)

Ride Kamens update:

Our next character reveal is the W-themed Rider, Kamen Rider LOQ.

https://twitter.com/ride_kamens/status/1756951272664502286

“Lance Tendo is a detective, who fights for control of his body against Q, a mischievous personality created by Chaosism.”

Lance is described as a Kikoku-ko (帰国子, “Returnee”), a term for the child of Japanese expatriates who was raised outside of Japan but has since returned to Japan. He seems to prefer analog over digital technology (probably in reference to Shotaro still using a typewriter), and when he’s transformed, LOQ is accompanied by 2 little robots that I assume are references to the memory gadgets. (I think his 3rd voice line in his profile seems to be implying he’s embarrassed to admit he prefers his coffee sweetened, but I could be wrong)

https://www.ride-kamens.com/character/slam_days/9.php

In contrast, Q “likes mischief and has a devilish personality”. “Using the information he has obtained online [(probably in reference to the Gaia library)], he sets traps for Lance and other Kamen Riders and enjoys watching their reactions”. He seems to be in more of an Imagin-body-sharing situation, where one of the other has full control of the body at a given point in time, rather than W’s synchronized body-sharing. His 2nd and 3rd voice lines in his profile seem to indicate he likes Quizzes (which is probably where the name “Q” comes from). When he’s transformed, LOQ sports 2 energy tails, giving LOQ a Nekomata theming, likely both reflecting his deceptive trickster personality, and being a reference to Mick from W.

I knew from looking at this guy’s design that he was inspired by philip. it’s shades of emu and parad too

now that I’ve seen two of the guys I FINALLY understand what they’re doing. rider suit is based on an existing character, guy untransformed is a new character with some quirks of the existing character his suit is themed after. so now I’ve actually become more interested in seeing all the new suit designs than interested in seeing all the new hot boys

i've been doing researches in ride kamens to get better chaos stones and there are scenes you get in-between researching and you read them.

there's this one rui-specific scene where he goes on his phone during a battle; q and kaiba (his teammates/colleagues) are wondering why he did that and he just says there was a time-limited dungeon that he had to play on his phone lol

anyways, what if whenever my insert messages him and pays attention to what he says. it's okay if rui doesn't respond often, but i imagine he will make a note of it when he responds back or when they meet each other.
