13 sentinels post game pre epilouge baby thoughts I had last night.

Nenji and Tomi have the first baby. Everyone is happy for them

Nenji makes it clear that he doesn't want anyone to hold the baby except him and Tomi. Tomi tells him to calm down.

Tamao and Keitaro are allowed to hold the baby cause they have experience with baby Chihiro.

Natsuno is allowed to hold baby sometimes cause she has experience with her brothers but admits that was years ago so she's not confident

Ei and Takatoshi are very bad at holding the baby.

Juro is not as bad but is not confident

Yuki, Gouto and Ryoko just flat out refuse to hold the baby. Yuki is later caught letting the baby grab her finger and Ryoko has been observed watching it.

If the baby is a girl then Nenji bans Amiguchi outright. Tomi allows this. Amiguchi takes it as a joke.

Okino uses the baby to tease Takatoshi ("would you want to make something like this together?")

Nenji is not shy about showing baby affection. Nenji is shy about doing the high pitched baby voice and will deny it if caught. Even when presented with video evidence

I think I drew this sometime last year while I was planning my Year One zine piece

Headcanon:

Tamao Kurabe gets introduced to movies post-game, and she really enjoys them, but she refers to them as "motion pictures" because the term "movie" sounds silly to her.

[mereelskirata]

Time to wake up.

[1-of-the-other-1s]

Continuing the series of 13 Sentinels characters as iconic Sci-Fi characters, it's Tamao as the Major from Ghost in the Shell!

The costume is based on one of the later animes, I believe. I only saw Stand Alone Complex but that outfit is... not my favorite.

[yakushijifancam]

Ignore that they tried to kill each other 🫶

[juromegweekend]

We need more of Juro and Tamao being a family man, and also more of the Compatibles as slightly older kids, and we also need you all to come tomorrow for the Question of the Week!

Seriously though, the Compatibles kids interest me so much. Definitely gotta make a fanfic for em.

[jaredr-k]

She should have more screen time.

still obsessing over 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim... i think the game is really good at leaving just enough blank space for you to imagine what could've happened, but establishing enough that you have the core components of how things tie together. I think about the characters and the silly scenarios I can put them in a lot tbh...

MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR THE GAME!!

a whole bunch of silly nonsense coming UPPPPP ATCHA

(i'm not joking this is a lot of dumb yapping)

(about dumbass scenarios i personally find interesting)

(okay? okay.)

so, I think it would be really funny if Miura finds the logs of 2188 Miura gushing over how *~absolutely awesome~* it'd be to live during WWII, and has to come to terms with his genetic predecessor's rose-tinted glasses about the conditions he and his friends lived through in the simulation. (because "wowee I sure would love to live in Japan during WWII with the firebombs and fascist regime and starvation :D :D :D think of how the war shaped our technology" would probably hit very differently for people who actually had to live in those conditions. not that any of the characters really reflect on that part of their history but. you know.)

other fun scenarios involving the kids finding logs of the 2188 crew after waking up on RS13-alpha:

1) Okino finally seeing the log that Hijiyama saw, confirming 2188 Okino was copying code from a kaiju survival sim of all things for UC; being both annoyed at the extra work he had to do to save their asses thanks to 2188 Okino leaving enough traces of the kaiju sim code to be hijacked, and admitting that they'd have done the exact same thing in their genetic predecessor's shoes (and also being jealous of the relationship 2188 Okino had with 2188 Hijiyama, since his Hijiyama-kun still raises a fuss about holding hands)

2) Iori finding out that she's genetically the mom of this kid who's the same age as her and who she never actually met until everything was over (iirc Iori and Okino never actually crossed paths in the sim, with the only time they interacted being in Nenji's mindscape, before waking up in the real world)

on a similar note, Tamao Kurabe reacting to having a grandson who is her age and also not actually related to her at all could be kinda bittersweet���like, we see people end up in romantic relationships with fellow compatibles, but what if someone had an NPC sweetheart, y'know? Does Tamao wonder what sort of guy she might've married if they weren't 15 kids living in a simulation? is she curious about how this nice kid who is kind of meek but apparently fights like a monster ended up as her grandson? does she feel cheated that she never got to know him in the sim?

3) the kids finding out that there are other probes from Prof. Morimura and Takamiya's log, and piecing together that the clones in the other probes are trapped in a never ending cycle of death and birth—after all, they were only able to break the loop due to some crazy coincidences and careful planning by the people from previous loops. statistically i think it's possible that there are other survivors, though it'd be a tiny fraction of the total amount of probes sent out.

however, it would be really funny if the RS13-alpha crew isn't actually the first group to break out, and they get an interstellar message from the descendants of another group of clones after settling on RS13-alpha for a while. learning about the other group's completely different approach to break out of the simulation and the baffling interpersonal relationships they had with each other could be fun (like. what do you mean Ida and Okino had a soap opera trashfire love affair. wdym Nenji is Juro's most loyal follower. wdym Tamao tried to kill Chihiro multiple times. wdym Gouto is Natsuno's brother. wdym Hijiyama landed both Megumi and Ei. and so on...) the beauty of infinite possibilities is that I can come up with total crack and try to make it work

((brief breakdown of the above proposed connections, because I can't resist making up bullshit about AUs:

in the game, Shu thinks Okino (in their female uniform) is a "cutie" and Okino is visibly pleased at Shu's compliment—this suggests that they both find each other attractive on a physical level, and given Shu's reaction to Iori thinking he was dating Juro, I don't think it's out of the question that he could be bi. It's also not a huge stretch that Ida and Okino, both being brainy and comfortable with tech, could be working together under different circumstances—hell, current loop Okino worked with -1 Ida to put the Sentinels together in the game; it's very possible there's some world where they are colleagues in the same age/loop.

As for the relationship kiiiiinda being a trashfire, we see the worst iterations of Ida being obsessive/possessive towards his love interests and has a hard time taking no for an answer while manipulating others with their feelings for him, and Okino seems like the kind of person who intentionally distances themself from having a genuine 'in the moment' emotional reaction (not to say he can't get emotional, but they tend to prioritize a logical or a teasing response from what we've seen, especially in emotionally vulnerable situations) and can also be manipulative with using other people's feelings for them. both Okino and ida also seem reluctant to give up control. imo their relationship is fantastic when they get along/have a common target, but when they're on the outs it gets downright vicious.

Nenji being Juro's underling is mostly just there because I think it's funny based on the versions we know, but I can see Izumi saving Nenji or someone Nenji cares about, and Nenji deciding to repay the favor while thinking Izumi is the coolest guy ever. From the bits we see of Izumi in the game, he (and 426) seemed very determined to see things through, and isn't afraid to take action at great personal cost. It's not hard to imagine Izumi being a big damn hero to Nenji. also I think Nenji might end up with Yuki in this version of events? idk

ngl Tamao trying to kill Chihiro is there because I think it's a shocking scenario. it'd take quite a lot for Tamao to actively try killing someone, so I think Tamao is manipulated by someone from the previous loop and acting under the assumption that Chihiro is responsible to the kaiju attacks/the mass disappearance of everyone. Chihiro is probably a pawn of the opposite faction that Tamao is working for, and eventually the two work out that the anti-kaiju force composed of remnants from the previous loop aren't necessarily working in their best interests, and team up to find a way to get out of this alive.

Gouto and Natsuno being siblings is mostly because I wonder what it'd be like if two compatibles were raised as siblings, and they had very little interaction in the game so it's uncharted territory (and I can do whatever I want). perhaps a Gouto from a previous loop placed his current loop self into the care of the Minamis in order to easily keep an eye on both compatibles? they are probably raised to think they're twins, and kind of goes through a "we've always been together but now we're starting to lead different lives" coming of age plot in addition to whatever else is going on in their respective routes. I think it'd be kind of funny if the revelation that Gouto is actually a few months older than Natsuno is a huge twist in one of their stories, though I think Natsuno would be genuinely upset that it was a lie, and while Gouto isn't necessarily surprised, he finds himself more affected by the revelation than he'd thought.

like the Nenji thing, Mr. Himbo landing both Megumi and Ei is mostly just because i think it'd be funny. But I can see why Megumi could fall for him, since Hijiyama is pretty protective and courteous towards girls, and she used to dream about getting swept off her feet by prince charming. I can imagine him being very sweet and sincere with her, and I think she'd find his old-fashioned mannerisms charming.

As for Ei, I think it could work if Hijiyama is the person who consistently demands him to do better and strive to be his best self—the Ei we know "hates [him]self," and if this tendency carried over to another clone, I think having someone who isn't blind to his shortcomings but also sees him as more than the sum of his flaws and challenges him to be better with the full sincere belief he could do it would be important to Ei.

I think Megumi and Ei also appreciate each other: Ei is very cool and capable with that 'lone wolf with a soft center' energy, which i think would appeal to Megumi, while Megumi has a core of steel and is willing to stand her ground+fight when push comes to shove, which I think Ei admires and respects.

Takatoshi meanwhile is sort of in the dark about both of them liking him and is in denial about being in love with them both, especially Sekigahara, who is a very handsome and dependable man. Eventually Megumi and Ei team up to get their oblivious guy since Hijiyama keeps on not making any moves.))

Compatible childhood eras (spoilers)

Original plan

1945: Kurabe, Hijiyama, Miura

1985: Ogata, Minami, Takamiya

2025: Yakushiji, Kisaragi, Ida

2065: Gouto, Sekigahara, Shinonome

2105: Okino, Morimura, Izumi

Final loop

1945: Kurabe, Hijiyama, Miura, Morimura (kinda)

1985: Ogata, Minami, Takamiya, Fuyusaka (Morimura), Amiguchi (Ida)

2025: Yakushiji, Kisaragi

2065: Gouto, Sekigahara, Shinonome

2105: Okino, Izumi

2188 Morimura totally skewed things for herself placing her future clones with her current lover's and biological son's.

Morimura and Ida stacked 1985 because Ogata was there, they got real luck the D-code key jumped to Natsuno and not a different sector.

In the final loop I wonder if Okino knew Izumi Juro before he lost his memory/personality overwrite. -2 Okino and Izumi were friends so I assume they had opportunity to meet, were probably at the same school since everyone goes to Sakura High. Also they were both early recruits to the sentinel project and part of the 2065 battle. We don't learn about the final loop 2105 battle at all it's all 1 or 2 loops ago.

For the post-game colonization effort poor Okino as the only one who grew up with 2105 technology and remembers it. Sekigahara doesn't really seem interested in technology but he's also so caught up in his angst I can't tell. Most of the compatible are clones of STEM professionals so if nothing else at least they have the IQ to easily learn. Tamao is going to leave her two childhood friends in the dust. -1 Tamao and Miura both seemed to adjust ok actually but Hijiyama is definitely going to find it hardest to adjust out of the 15.

some spoiler thoughts about 13sentinels btw. not done with the plot obviously but this has stuff from megumi, juro, shu, tomi, yuki. mostly thoughts about 426 and ida and some thoughts about ANOTHER PERSON based on how far I am into gouto plot (roughly halfway)

and I love morimura actually she's fascinating. talk about an exploration of how different circumstances make you a different person. I'm not far enough into gouto storyline to know 2188 morimura's goals but they sure don't seem aligned with izumi and considering how he leaves off with megumi and juro, it definitely seems he's the side we should really be on even if he did shoot a bunch of people (albeit apparently he didn't actually kill them? was he attempting to modify the code in a previous loop?) anyway the various levels of motivations each version of morimura has are bonkers and fun

I actually love that ida (and possibly 2188 morimura) are the real motherfuckers of this game and 426/izumi, while depicted as evil by everyone else and actually acting pretty sinister when you first see him in the plot, is just doing his best to stop the damn loops the only way he can figure out lol. I would say it's not hard to guess that ida is a motherfucker early on, especially since ryoko plot basically opens on "maybe we shouldn't trust that guy." but izumi seems extremely sinister at first, not just in the way ida and co talk about him but also in how shiba and fluffy both come off once the curtain pulls back a hair. how you start to suspect that "that one video" is going to be super bad news for juro. how the android plot gets scary fast even as izumi is smilingly like I LOVE MYSTERY NOVELS, ME, ERIKA AIBA. THAT'S ME! makes you wonder if that loop's izumi was as much of a nerd as kurabe at some point before he became a terrorist. but it turns out he's just got to get this done the only way he knows how and since he is a vigilante, he's used to working behind the scenes and hiding his motive, and also he doesn't have a body and ALSO understanding what he's doing requires knowledge that's being deliberately obscured so why explain himself when there's no time

I'm not super into most of the ships though. they just don't do much for me, aside from okino and hijiyama which are great frankly.

editing to add one last note: who's the 15th????? we've got the 13 pilots and okino. logically morimura doesn't count as another person. seems doubtful that it's tamao or she would be a clone, not an android? but I guess it's possible. what I'm actually saying is that miwako should be #15
