Round 1B, Match 4

[regallibellbright]

All right, I do have to give it to Kaie for the canon nonverbal rep. Like, legitimately, that's rare, especially for a character like Kaie who is neither a savant nor a child with a mysterious and unknowable inner world and blah blah blah. But no, we've got a character who communicates entirely through text, who gestures and vocalizes as he types but doesn't emote visually in the traditional sense. He uses emoticons and has a cute little bunny phone case and wears loose clothing with brightly-colored, chunky jewelry that I genuinely want to play with. And he's one of our first clear allies among the Shinjuku Reapers, and the most significant one after Shoka. The narrative never makes anything of the fact that he communicates purely via text, it's just treated as a given alongside him being a tech/UG expert who even Hanekoma would defer to.

Nonetheless, I'd be remiss if I didn't remind everyone that when we say "Shooter is the protagonist of his own toyline-inspired show" we do mean that literally. Time for the highlight reel!

"Shooter: There's only one thing left to do!

Neku: What?

Shooter: Join me in taking back our SOULS!

Neku: Our... what?

Shooter: Well, DUH. Our pins! Pins are every slammer's soul, bro.

Neku: (Oh. The pins.)

Shooter: Now, rise up and fight! The time is nigh to join hands and take back our souls!"

"Shooter: So BRO! Guess who I found. Kindred Spirits in our fight against (dun dun DAAAAH!) the Black Skullers! Neku: Kindred... what? Shooter: Fall in, Spirits!"

"Shooter: You're wrong! It's not the maker that fills a pin with love! It's the player! Every pin's full of their own unique love!"

He manages to get Neku in on thinking of everyone with the codenames (despite several people changing theirs.) He's crushed and unable to fight when Rhyme breaks his Solid Slammer, despite KNOWING it doesn't do anything.

"Neku: Yeah, it sure feels that way. There's a force at play that I can't overcome. I've felt its pull, dragging me along all afternoon."

It's the overwhelming autistic energy of Shooter, Blue. You can't escape it. His autDHD energy is so strong it warps the entire narrative around you.

Either of these two could win the entire tournament and I'd be happy, which is impressive given they're both supporting characters and every other character remaining is a lead, with all but Rhyme full-on party members. (Okay, Rhyme's a fringe case in the original, but between "makes the cover art" and Neo, I still feel comfortable saying "main character".) There's just too much autism here to be denied.

Round 3 Match 2: Kaie Ono VS Shuto "Shooter" Dan

What gives these two Autism Swag?

Kaie Ono:

Is nonverbal and communicates through text messages, even when talking face-to-face. He prefers it because it's easier for him to convey what he means and prevent miscommunications.

Has a flat affect in person but frequently uses emoticons while texting, and his language is very formal.

Is a programmer, data analyst, and fortune teller.

Shuto "Shooter" Dan:

Has a HUGE Tin Pin Special Interest. Draws incomprehensible diagrams to try to get people into the game and adopted a nickname for himself based on it.

No volume control, pretty much shouts everything he says.

Is the #1 seed in a Tin Pin tournament despite only being in fifth grade.

When he decides something, he won't take "no" for an answer because he assumes everyone else must be on board and be just as invested as he is.

He is the protagonist of his own toyline-inspired show. Huge AutDHD energy.

Wait, Nagi had fingerless gloved, already had Pins (and is clumsy) have that fangirl feel and...

What if is Nagi is a Dan. What if she’s Shuto ‘Shooter’ Dan older sister!

Shuto "Shooter" Dan from The World Ends With You appreciation post :D

I love this kid

[bird1nthehand]

old twewy sketches :D

[dailyshooter]

Hello there everyone! Welcome everyone to the account all dedicated to Shooter from TWEWY :) here I'll post pics of Shooter and Tin Pin Slammer sometimes. DMs for submissions are open! ✨ Eventually Neo TWEWY spoilers will be marked!

Follow this account also on Instagram and Twitter (in case it's still alive.) With the tag @.dailushuto !

[vilmublue]

Anyone else wanted to see more Higashizawa? Or is it just me? I dunno, for some reason I kinda like that guy. His Noise form is cool.

Though I guess him appearing so scarcely will make a nice contrast to Sho just showing up and f*cking around since day one.

And I'm of course really excited to see Sho and Josh and stuff animated, but I think the most surreal thing for me to see animated are these two things:

It's gonna be...something lol.

[trashcantasch]

They're absolutely crayon warriors you aren't changing my mind

Also a version without the text

[voicefromthecorner]

Shooter? I know we don't have much info on him but...

I did Sakura Koga, the Justice Burger NPC from NEO. I can work with Shuto!

do I like them: He's a walking shounen cliche. Heck yeah, I like him!

5 good qualities: He's passionate, of course. He's a good kid to everyone. He's a pretty graceful loser, which is great for a kid his age. He has a good recognition of the value of friendship, even outside of Another Day, as Tin Pin is not a one-player game. And he's imaginative. After all, Tin Pin is a clash between our SOULS!

3 bad qualities: He's... not the best artist...or diagram designer. He's a graceful loser but he can be a proud winner. And I do worry a bit for his academic years ahead.

favourite episode/etc: I mean, I can't not pick Another Day! Shooter is practically the protagonist of that story.

otp: Given his age, gonna stay away from this one.

brotp: Yammer, of course! The two of them are so inseperable and even they show a friendship that contrasts each other well with Shooter prioritising skill and Yammer prioritising technical proficiency.

ot3: With a reminder that I'm viewing this topic as a platonic trio, the circle of rivalry that Neku forms with Shooter and Yammer, should you choose to, is really nice. I feel like given enough time, Neku would totally be like a friendly big brother to them.

notp: Again, staying off this subject.

best quote: I'll say it again! "Tin Pin's a battle between SOULS! [...] It's like your fiery passion slams into the other guy's, like WHAM!" (Followed closely by Joshua saying "Sounds like a fun time.") A close second is "You could play Tin Pin NAKED, bro!"

head canon: Shuto Dan's grandpa is the guy who runs the really rich food counter at the Shibuya Dept. Store, so I like to think that Shooter has a really sophisticated palate and he doesn't even know it, but he still has casual food with his friends. Really high quality food items like, I dunno, caviar or something are on the same wavelength as things like hot dogs for him. It rarely comes up and when it does, his friends just think he's joking and the subject changes.

[lecliss]

Twewy blorbos please <3🐦

Hell yeah twewy blorbos!!!!

Blorbo: Joshua obviously. The most character ever. The one that is right about everything and everyone else is wrong. Doesn't matter about what, just know that Joshua is right, was always right, and shall always be right.

Scrunkly: Coco in her first outfit. Its just SO stupidly cute and the colors are so vibrant and pop so UGH!!! Its adorable and downright the cutest thing and I lover her haircut and the faces she makes and the ears on her hoodie being expressive too. It's the most AAAAAA CUTEST ADORABLEST LOOK EVER

Scrimblo bimblo: I genuinely love Shooter/Shuto Dan. I think I've seen a couple people be annoyed with him way back in the day and being an NPC with acrual importance to the Reaper's Game, no one really pays attention to that kid. But I adore him cuz he's, well, pretty adorable, and also he fits right in with protags of shonen media meant to sell toys to kids(yugioh, beyblade, bakugan, all that) and I'm a sucker for media like that so he appeals specifically to me, lol. I wish more people liked him and made content of him too. He's a sonboy, ya know?

Glup shitto: Eiru from NEO, another character that was made specifically for me. He only shows up on three different days, but I lose my absolute mind whenever I see him. I don't want him to leave. Let him be a main character just so I can look at him forever 👀👀👀

Poor little meow meow: It can't be anybody but Joshua but I'm sure me saying he was right makes that not shocking in the least. Joshua did nothing wrong and all his actions were justifiable and, in fact, the morally correct thing to do(Okay I'm kinda joking but it's fine, everybody's fine, water under the bridge now).

Horse plinko: Shiba. I have the same feelings towards him as all those posts talking about "wanting to put him in the washing machine and fold him", him being whoever you want it to be and in my case it's Shiba. I would like to hang him out to dry. Just for fun :)

Eeby deeby: Tanzo. Tho uh, superhell isn't even the beginning of what he deserves. Tho it sure would be nice to send him there myself.

Round 1 Match 8: Tsugumi Matsunae VS Shuto "Shooter" Dan

What gives these two Autism Swag?

Tsugumi Matsunae:

Soft-spoken with a relatively flat affect.

Was willing to fake her own death after an argument with Nagi over who's a bigger fan of Death March.

Wears a plaid skirt over another skirt?

Shuto "Shooter" Dan:

Has a HUGE Tin Pin Special Interest. Draws incomprehensible diagrams to try to get people into the game and adopted a nickname for himself based on it.

No volume control, pretty much shouts everything he says.

Is the #1 seed in a Tin Pin tournament despite only being in fifth grade.

When he decides something, he won't take "no" for an answer because he assumes everyone else must be on board and be just as invested as he is.

He is the protagonist of his own toyline-inspired show. Huge AutDHD energy.

Round 2 Match 4: Shiki Misaki VS Shuto "Shooter" Dan

What gives these two Autism Swag?

Shiki Misaki:

Carries around a stuffed animal she made and often uses it to hide her face or speak for her, in a way. Even after she lost the original, she designed her whole fashion brand around this same stuffed animal.

Notices even tiny details on clothes, such as Neku's loose button, and is compelled to fix them.

Forced someone to strip in the middle of the street with the reasoning of "no one can see us anyway," not understanding why that still might make them uncomfortable.

Is a fashion designer but tends to wear less fashionable, loose, mismatched clothing, which could be an indication of texture-based sensory issues.
