Now that we’re finally to the premier of King-Ohger, I think it’s time I gave my piece on what DonBrothers was really about... Every season has it’s themes and Donbrothers is a little hard to pin down, but I think I got it nailed down.

Donbrothers is about bonds. More specifically it’s about Taro’s bonds, and how he grows them from passing acquaintances into the true family he desperately wants.

In the beginning. All Taro had were superficial and surface level. His coworkers, the old man at the Oden stand... and the people he would deliver packages to.

This was all he had. These small bonds that he would put so much weight behind because he didn’t know that they weren’t real. He was naïve and fully ready to believe that these were what real bonds were. Surface level and transient. 

But now lets look at the bonds of the other Donbrothes at the start of the series.

Haruka’s entire social standing was based on her manga. Once that fell through, all of her bonds broke. Her friends, her fans, even her boyfriend all turned on her overnight. Her bonds were shallow and spread thin, all balanced precariously on her status as a mangaka.

Saruhara didn’t really have any bonds, though for him it was by design. His Wabi Sabi lifestyle and detachment from the world around him left him isolated and alone. Alone in his big house (which like... how did he afford that?) Sure he had customers who came to him for advice but... no friends, no family, no bonds. 

Kijino only had his Miho. His one and only bond that consumed his entire being. Kijino gave everything he was and everything he had to the one person he had in his life. He lived for his bond with Miho... Which left him utterly alone otherwise. His coworkers hardly noticed him. He had no friends to speak of. Without Miho he was nothing... And when it turned out there was no Miho, there really wasn’t a Kijino.

On the other hand there’s Tsubasa, the other side of Kijino’s coin. Like Kijino he gave everything for one bond. One connection that he lived his life for. Only unlike Kijino, his was real and he lost it. While Kijino reveled in something he found, Tsubasa languished in something he lost. Tsubasa is broken, just as broken as his bond.

Then there’s Jiro...

... yeah...

Each of them either lost their bonds to those they held closest to their hearts, or they were never real to begin with. These are all broken and lonely people separated by circumstance and misfortune. 

Then, along came a peach.

Floating down the riverbend.

And inside that peach was a young boy.

That young boy was raised by a kind old man and grew into a fine hero...

Who forged many bonds.

And touched many lives. 

Donbrothers is a mess of a story about extra dimensional beings that eat human thoughts and the age old civil war that now spills into the human world. About monsters taking human skin and about twisted desires running out of control... Its about Don Killers, Don Killer Killers, Shark Swords, True Heroes, The Dragon Fires, First Love Heroes, Wabi Sabi, run away criminals, delivery men, cafe’s, true love, fated rivalries, the Nato and the Donbrothers...

And it’s also about 6 broken people who found a way to be a little less broken by fitting their pieces together. 

A true win for the ages.

My 3rd yr wedding anniversary art gift to my husband. Happy wedding anniversary!

Hi Polynya! In my recent descent into live action Japanese children's shows, in which people ride motorbikes and wear full body costumes to kick each other in the head, aka Kamen Rider. I have learned that the protagonist and a couple of his friends in the current show I'm watching, Kamen Rider Fourze, share actors with. The live action Bleach movie????? They play Ichigo, Orihime, and Ishida. I found out and immediately thought of you. That is all, have a survivable week!

I remember people being really excited about this when the Bleach live-action came out, actually! I have seen one episode each of two different Kamen Riders: I watched one episode of the OG, 1970s series, and could not keep my attention fixed on it, sorry OG Kamen Rider. Then, someone recommended I watch an episode of Fourze, because it was fun, and I did and it was fun! It did not grip me by the hyperfixation, and so I pretty much left it at that, but I do not regret the half hour I spent watching Live-Action Ichigo kick a dude with his chainsaw foot. (Is that what happened? It was a while ago. Someone had a chainsaw foot).

Re: Survivable weeks: I'm trying, but if anyone knows a way to fast-forward to September, I would take that deal immediately.

STEX TOKUSATSU AU - THE BEGINNING

Rusty was a human child who grew up on an alien planet, which was under the domain of the planet of the big monsters, that had Greaseball, the gigant, as their warrior champion.

He was the only human child there, no one knows how he got in that planet

But a thing the aliens knew of was about a prophecy, that a hero of the earth could save them from evil.

So the man that found him when he landed on the planet ( poppa) raised him and trained him to be the strong warrior everyone thought he was going to be… …But “being strong” never was his thing. Among his brothers and alien friends, he was always the weakest one.

They lived under the tyranny of the power of this planet full of strong monsters, until another planet appeared to challenge their strength, the planet Roboto, with its champion: Electra.

Then, the intergalactic battle that happens once in 500-1000 years for the domination of the universe, where which champion won could rule everything, has started.

Several champions from various planets and various alien races began to appear, all strong and powerful.

The little earth boy didn't stand a chance, but he knew it was his destiny. And he wanted to go.

He asked his father -the only person who believed in his potential - for help, and he said that the protective galactic star, their god-like figure, would give him strength to fight.

In the middle of the night, he asked, and the great star appeared, giving him armor made of stars, with only a shield, no weapon.

With that, he would participate in the tournament with confidence.

But first, he was missing one more thing: An enhancer.

Enhancers are creatures that are born with powers that can increase someone's abilities (like strength, power, energy, etc.)

And without an enhancer, you couldn't get in the competition.

On his planet, there were several aliens who were born with the ability to be enhancers, including his brothers and friends who were raised with him, but all of them didn't have skills that were compatible with his abilities.

Although… One had. And she was perfect.

Pearl, enhancer of life and healing.

His ability is one of the most wanted and rarest in existence. Since she was little, she was watched by champions from all over the world.

She grew up with our hero, and he was always in love with her. When they were little, she thought he would be the great champion, and she swore to be her enhancer.

But today, grown up, she was uncertain. He wasn't that strong, and all the champions wanted her…

Maybe she didn't feel like he was enough.

And then, Rusty and his friends left for the planet where the event would take place. Rusty, without an enhancer, hoping to find one there, and Pearl, without a champion, hoping for the same thing.
