A little trivia for those that just got introduced to Ultraman thanks to Ultraman Rising

You know that part where baby kaiju Emi is shown a kids cartoon with an earworm of a song?

That cartoon is real!! It's called Kaiju Step Wandabada and it stars cute kid versions of different monsters from different Ultraman series (mostly the original from 1966 wich Rising is also based on). The opening shown in the movie is in stop-motion while the cartoon itself is in 2D.

The Ultraman heroes don't appear in person, but bizarrely enough they seem to exist as fictional superheroes in-universe, with the kaiju kids having toys and dolls of them. It's no surprise Emi liked it so much! She would be right at home in this show!

The episodes are 5 minutes long, there are two seasons of 26 episodes each for a total of 52. The official Tsurubaya channel has the first episodes of both seasons uploaded...

...but the rest were sadly only up for a limited time cuz gotta sell the dvds. What is officially available online right now is a series of educational shorts.

Some years ago Marvel Comics got the rights to make Ultraman comics and made a mini-series called "The Rise of Ultraman" (no relation), and these Kaiju Step designs got to appear as part of in-universe instructional videos about dealing with monsters and aliens:

So let's have a quick rundow on the little monsters and where each comes from:

Pigmon or Pig-chan is the main protagonist and new kid in town (forest). This coral-looking guy is one of the most iconic and recurring ultra monsters and the go-to kid-friendly one, as he stood out among the original set of kaiju for being friendly and heroic (as well as human-sized). He has the bad habit of dying in many of his apperences but fortunately that's not the case here.

Kanegon or Kane-chan is the second member of the protagonist trio, and the most energic and simple-minded. A coin purse monster that eats money, and usually a human kid under a curse. He actually pre-dates Ultraman, appearing in the black-and-white anthology series Ultra Q wich had monsters but not superheroes. Fortunately this one doesn't need to eat money and was born a kaiju.

Alien Dada or Dada-chan is the reliable but temperamental inventor of the trio, he dreams of building a rocket ship. One of the most iconic villains from the original 1966 Ultraman (and that's saying a lot), it's a weird alien with weird powers looking for human subjects for his weird experiments, like testing his shrinking ray. He really earns the name of a weird art movement.

Gomora or Gomo-chan is probably the most iconic ultra kaiju of all. Remember how in Ultraman Rising there is this whole sequence where the dad omniously talks about fighting him? There is a good reason for that. Gomora had the only two-parter in the original 1966 series, and was able to actually defeat Ultraman in their first figh. He's essentially Godzilla if he lived underground rather than underwater (He's even been a good guy and had a robot counterpart). Here, however, Gomora is a chill guy who's passionate about agriculture. (btw, you can also spot Gomora in Rising on a screen around an hour and eight minutes into the movie).

Red King or just Red is another iconic ultra dino, that looks like corn. In the show he's brute but well-meaning, and has a friendly sport rivalry with Kemur-chan. But in the Ultraman series he's a sadistic and murderous bully who beats up weaker monsters but gets his butt kicked rather easily by Ultraman (although more recent incarnations have have been more positive, both in his fighting ability and sometimes even becoming a loving father). (and yes, you are right, he's not red).

Jamira or Jami-chan is a passionate archeologist and fossil collector in the show, whereas in the original Ultraman he was a human astronaut that got infected by a virus. He hasn't appeared much beyond his debut... but doesn't need to, as his episode was very memorable in how sad and tragic it was. I can't imagine the target audience's whiplash seeing this cute creature one moment collecting fossils and the next having a horrible sad death. I guess one could say the same for most of the characters, but this one takes the cake.

Miclas or Mic-chan is the youngest character, a baby, and loves bugs. He was one of the "capsule monsters" from the second ultra series, Ultra Seven. Sometimes the titular ultra wouldn't be able to fight himself so he would summon up to three very loyal monsters from little capsules to do the fighting instead (or at least buy some time, they weren't very strong). One was a triceratops, another was a robot bird, but the most iconic had to be Miclas because really, what even is he? Some kind of bull toad hybrid? (By the way, fun fact, the capsule monsters were one of the inspirations for Pokemon).

King Joe (yes, that's his name) or Joe-chan is a robot controlled by alien invaders and is to Ultra Seven what Gomora is to the original Ultraman: he's the subject of a two-parter and was able to beat the hero to a pulp at first, made harder to fight by his ability to divide into three flying parts. Fortunately this Joe is very shy and very friendly.

Eleking or Ele-chan from Ultra Seven is another of the "mascot" ultra kaiju. If two ultra kaiju have to appear in anything, chances are they will be Gomora and Eleking. In fact, in Ultraman Rising you can see Eleking in a monitor right next to Gomora (around an hour and eight minutes in). It's a dinosaur-like eel monster with (of course) electric powers, and the enforcer of an all-female bug-like alien species set to conquer the earth, that are nonetheless very affectionate towards their pet-weapon dino-eel. The fact that Eleking's masters are always women may explain why the Kaiju Step one is a very femenine and elegant girl despite having King in the name, though no less dangerously electric.

Alien Guts or Guts-chan here is a very little alien bird child who can multiply into three separate individuals to cause all the destruction in their sincere attempts to help out. The original duo from Ultra Seven meanwhile are ruthless alien invaders that are infamous for freaking crucifying the aforementioned hero, leading to decades of japanese media having christian imagery for the sake of looking cool, most notably Neon Genesis Evangelion, because these birds did it first and it looked so cool.

Alien Kemur or Kemu-chan is a very agile alien that comes from the distant future of 2020 to consume humans and extend his lifespan. Here he's a friendly but competitive ninja from the present, and has a rivalry with Red King being the speed to his strenght. Like Kanegon, he pre-dates Ultraman, being from Ultra Q.

Motokureron or Kureron-chan originates from the whimsical, fairy-tale like Ultraman Taro. A kid found him as a baby and fed him until he grew to giant size, but when the kid couldn't feed him anymore he turned destructive; fortunately he was easy to pacify with food, including the kind that made him shrink. He retains his glutonny and clumsiness in Kaiju Step, often doing the bad thing (tm) so the others can teach the kids in the audience why you shouldn't do the bad thing (tm).

Nova or No-chan originates from the surprisingly dark Ultraman Leo. This creepy and bizarre ghost-like alien created a red mist that made people go crazy, and manipulated a kid with illusions of his deceased family, and under his cloth there are lots of tentacles and a scythe. So of course, in Kaiju Step she's a happy and energic little girl that loves to sing.

Mugera or Muge-chan is by far the most obscure kaiju of the cast. She's from the 2001 series Ultraman Cosmos, the one where the titular hero protects monsters instead of fighting them. Mugera is an ET-like cryptid that lives in an amusement park that only kids can see, with the ability to fix toys and heal wounds with her magic. After the amusement park closes down she phones home and the protagonists have to protect her from the goverment wich is a little too eager to shoot down the UFO that came to pick her up. In Kaiju Step she likes reading and plants.

And that was your daily dose of kaiju sugar, that may be overdose because you probably already met Emi. Cheers!

⎯꯭ׁ⎯꯭⎯꯭ׁQUIRK INFO

quirk name …… DREAMSCAPE

quirk description …… This quirk allows the user to bring anything from their dreams and imagination into reality. Everything the user creates will exist in reality as long as the user remembers, or doesn’t fall asleep. This does not apply to any living things. When the user sleeps, things they dream of may appear in real life, the same thing goes for nightmares.

cannot …… With this quirk, the user cannot cause something to happening somebody else, nor make them act in any sort of way.

drawbacks …… Simply having this quirk makes the user sleepy, requiring an optimal nights sleep and a nap during the afternoon. Over-exhausting this quirk will lead to the user growing more tired the more it is used, until they eventually pass out from exhaustion. Passing out from exhaustion will result in all creations disappearing, however, passing out causes chronic nightmares, which may still manifest in real life. These nightmare creations cannot be controlled by the user until they wake up.

example …… The user of “ dreamscape ” can imagine laser beams from their hands/eyes, explosions from their hands, turning solids into liquid, or a Godzilla like creature roaming the Earth, and it will all effect reality. They cannot imagine somebody’s stomach exploding and having that appear in reality, but they can imagine their arm with a strong level of power as they go for a punch, and that will then happen.

timeline …… My quirk manifested when I was 4 after I accidentally walked in on my cousins watching “Godzilla” and was so scared that I had a nightmare about it during the night. I woke up to my mother frantically waking me up and getting my family out of the house because of the attack of a villain. When we went outside to look, I saw an enormous Godzilla stomping through a park as people screamed and ran. I cried and told my parents that it was all my fault, they tried consoling me but the more scared I became of the beast, the more powerful he grew. Even All Might showed up, but it was no use. Eventually my parents got ahold of someone to tell them that they believe my quirk had manifested early and it was what was causing all of this. Everyone tried to tell me that it wasn’t real but nothing worked. One man dressed in all black showed up, bent down to my height, and flashed red eyes at me. And suddenly everything stopped. The monster was gone and everybody clapped at the victory. My parents took me to the quirk doctor the second the sun rose again.

ultimate moves ……

𖦹 ELEMENTAL , transforms any element into whatever the user wishes. from solid ground to water, or a glass building into feathers. especially useful during civilian rescue as the user can turn thrown cars or buildings into cushioning for falling civilians.

𖦹 MIMICK , user can mimick anyone’s quirk and not sustain the same damage because they’re not copying the quirk, but mimicking it.

𖦹 PUMP IT UP , the name of a drink formulated specifically for Sólaire, but is now distributed to other quirk users with fatigue drawbacks. functions similar to coffee or a 5-hour energy in the sense that it boots the energy and adrenaline levels of users. if taken by a non fatigued quirk user, it wouldn’t do anything.

𖦹 INFINITY , originally developed after the godzilla incident, it is an invisible barrier between the user and everything else. when this is activated ( which is almost always ) nothing can touch the user and they can’t touch anything either. feet don’t touch the ground etc. this manifested as a defense mechanism at first but now has become second nature and requires more thought to turn it off rather than keep it off.

𖦹 PORTAL , user can create a portal to anywhere they can imagine clearly, even if they haven’t been there before.

hero suit …… N/A

⎯꯭ׁ⎯꯭⎯꯭ׁPERSONAL LIFE

friends ……

𖦹 MINA ASHIDO , met during the entrance exams and quickly hit it off due to our similar gyaru style. sunshine x sunshine. gay x gayer. had a crush on me when we first met but it slowly disappeared after we got closer. our parents met and absolutely love each other. we begged aizawa, present mic, AND all might to let us dorm next to each other. i do her nails, she does my hair and makeup, it’s a give and take relationship.

𖦹 EIJIRO KIRIMISHA , met on the first day of class when I accidentally tripped him and he apologized??? I reassured him but who knows if it worked lmao. he also had a crush on my for a while because I really hyped up his very cool, very manly quirk ( it’s very manly btw ). that crush also faded after a while and now we’re super cool. younger sister x older brother. sun x stars.

ꨄ︎ KATSUKI BAKUGOU , met during the entrance exams and he absolutely hated me at first because I mimicked his quirk in a moment of panic. I was basically already in his friend group so we naturally grew closer. veryyyy slow burn but everybody saw it coming. he hates when I mimick his quirk and says “you can’t beat the original” ( sassy ) yapper gf x listening but pretends he’s not bf. says he hates my gyal music but he be bopping his head I see it. fire x earth. izuku and mina ship 110% and they actually became closer friends because of it.

𖦹 HANTA SERO , met through my friendship with mina and eijiro. he’s obviously Mexican in this reality so we are always cooking together and showing each other new recipes. we whisper Hispanic horror stories into denki and mienta’s ear to scare them. partners in crime.

𖦹 IZUKU MIDORIYA , met after the entrance exams because he kept yapping about my quirk. he couldn’t put his finger on it and he wanted to ask me more about it. i didn’t tell him jack shit about my quirk cause I saw that lil notebook and I knew he’d absolutely cook me if he knew anything else. the true nature of my quirk was actually a big mystery in class that I didn’t tell anyone because it was still earlier on in the semester when aizawa would make us fight each other. izuku figured it out (kind of) before anyone else and we spent literally all night talking about our quirks (he got in trouble for keeping me awake lmao).

𖦹 ANATCHAYA SUPUTTIPONG ( NATTY ) , bestest friend ever omg. yes her faceclaim is natty from kiss of life, sue me. she’s in class 1-B and she joined the same time and the same way and shinso. her quirk is “ cursed speech ” , basically she can make anyone do anything with just a word which means she has to be careful with what she says ( similar to inumaki in jjk ). her words have to have powerful intention behind them to work and it’s not like shinso’s where they need to respond to her, it works on everyone. the drawback is that it causes her mouth to bleed, the more it bleeds, the less she can talk. she’s thai and whenever she comes to the 1-A dorms, her spicy food puts katsuki’s to SHAME, but he lovessss her food trust. certified hot girl. her parents are supperrrr rich and she is actually childhood friends with yayorozu.

family …… my family is the same as my family in this reality. my mom’s quirk is prophecy, when she sleeps, she gets very vivid and prophetic dreams of the future but not any future in specific so it’s kind of a pain. she’s helped many hero’s in the past and is very well known in government spaces, but because she can’t pin point every dream, she doesn’t technically work for them. my fathers quirk is bringing words into reality. he can’t make someone do something but, for example, if he says “giant sword” then a giant sword will appear. he was once a pro hero but has since retired. I also have two sisters.

style …… i am a agejo gyaru and that is reflected in the way I speak, as well as my hero costume ( that I have yet to design lol ).

THAT IS ALL, TY FOR READING AND HAPPY SHIFTING EVERYONE <33

[demeterdefence]

kept meaning to make a post and kept FORGETTING to because i'm dumb but i cannot stop thinking of all the loose ends / introduced plots that got dropped without any warning and one that has been sticking out is persephone's "new" abilities after she "lost" her powers

we get a lackluster hint in episode 267, when apollo uses some random magic deus ex machina to "restore" persephone's powers. he starts bleeding from the nose and ears.

also apologies for the terrible quality, i forgot that lo went under daily pass and had to scour my own screenshots lmamdgjsf

it's not explained at the time whatsoever and in fact, the vagueness of the narrative kind of half-heartedly implies that it's an effect of ouranos' magic - it's also completely handwaved away, since no one bothers to ask why apollo is suddenly bleeding from the orifices and able to use persephone's powers.

it's not until persephone and hera decide to visit kronos in tartarus that persephone explains she somehow knew all along what this strange power was! she can apparently make a god rot from the inside!!!

it's not explained at ALL how she figured that out or like ... why she has that specific power. it is mentioned during the solstice where she creates winter that she can only make "decay," but that's a pretty obvious and visual thing - she's quite literally blistered the mortal realm in snow and ice, with all the plants dying on their physical surface.

important context, but other than persephone's attack on minthe, she is never seen using her powers on another person. her abilities are always on herself, or using plants / growth in some way. the fertility goddess nonsense does mean that hades and kronos are able to use her powers to strengthen themselves, but beyond that plot point being ridiculous, it's also something they don't just figure out overnight. kronos being able to escape control the underworld, and hades going godzilla mode during the trial, are clues used to eventually figure out what persephone's fertility goddess powers can do.

in regards to her new winter powers, persephone either figured it out somehow before the scene with apollo, or she figured it out after. with no explanation how.

moving from the how, we then get the last mention to this power, when persephone attempts to stop kronos

spoiler: it does not work. the power is never referenced again.

in terms of lore olympus' many crimes, it's a small thing, but it stands out to me as such a flailing attempt to write some wiggle room into the finale. rachel was struggling to get to the end, that much was obvious, and she was padding out the episodes as desperately as she could so that she could pull on any random thread and find a way to keep the plot moving. in better hands, this might have been a legitimately interesting power to explore for persephone! the goddess of spring, capable of rot, capable of such bone-deep destruction, and how she reconciles that with growth. it could have been a powerful juxtaposition, but it got abandoned as soon as rachel figured out how to give persephone her powers back. presumably, persephone still has this ability, but it is literally never brought up again. we have no idea if there was lasting damage to apollo, if it did anything in particular to kronos, what it can do to a god (the assumption is nothing, since both apollo and kronos seem just fine in their final scenes.)

it's just. amazing to go back and look through all the various strings rachel was knotting together, seeing stuff that might have been genuinely fascinating to explore in some other writer's hands! tiny little things like this, added up together to just be crapshoot after crapshoot. it's no surprise at all that rachel finished the last episode barely an hour before it went live. what a mess.

[zinzabee]

TFW your cousin lives in another country so you have to hang out over online chat, lol

Also I just really love the idea of them going back and forth between human and kaiju form as their emotions fluctuate.

[evelegy]

People who know me would say that I can have pretty big fangirl moments for my favorite kinds of media; books, games, movies, etc. At the same time, I detest 'Fandom'. Fandom seems to be a function of capitalism where the powers-that-be manufacture fake battlegrounds for people to get invested in and fight over... while ignoring real-world issues. As a Godzilla fan, over the past 48 hours, my social media feed has been filled with other fans complaining about the Trump administration's order for 100% tariffs on films produced outside the United States. SO many posts worded like 'oh I don't usually get into political discussions, but this is bullshit.' You're fine with a government committed to violating human rights. A government that puts children in cages. A government that enables the Palestinian genocide... but you paying more for your movies is where you draw the line in the sand? I hate you. I loathe you. I want you to drown in stinging hornets. You have lost all connection to reality, to humanity, and have been reduced to an empty husk who has become chemically dependent on entertainment.

[marcussour]

EXU Divergence E04 random thoughts and bits

One last time, let's do this

Into the Sam Riegel verse

Now we know Matt should play Rogue (?)

What even was the continuity of the ads anyway

We're starting with a quote by Seven Samurai, that's how you know its gonna be good

That nat 20 for Crokas after becoming smart, was super appropriate

Loved Brennan's explanation of the change in gears for Vasselheim, and how that also ties with how we see the city centuries down the line

What's with the fancy dude and the child?; EDIT after I realized who they were an hour and a half after the episode began: OH, the rich assholes in the Strife Emperor's court and the evil child

Oh, that "self taught?", it kinda stung

Power move with the letter opener by Nia

I've just noticed that Alex has been moving and swaying like a monitor lizard all the episodes, in order to match Crokas' being a dragonborn and like, overall vibe of being like, Godzilla in a small scale

Morgana Thundershield, amazing name

I love that this episode is, thematically, a sorta epilogue of C3. Of course it's not exactly the same, but seeing Vasselheim react to the gods going retreating behind the gate and the impact it had in them, compared with what happened with the gods at the end of C3.

Also, Brennan making the connection between hubris and humility regarding the connection to the divine and faith. *chef's kiss*

"Learn to learn again"

Oh, the explanation to the change of paradigm was brilliant. How divine magic used to be just a call for the gods to intervene, but now, they're based on faith and belief, and the clerics are the conduits, not just people who call upon the gods for them to act

Rux Tallheart, paladin of the Platinum Dragon, another certified Brennan Lee Mulligan's small guy

Oh, that's interesting, not all the gods are accounted for

Welcome to the New World, Erro's telling jokes now

"Nia? Rai'nia?"; "How does this possibly keep happening?"

"the feel when confirmation bias becomes confirmation"

Crokas settled immediately into the routine of showing the Orb whenever someone needs to hear what happened to Liana

"Am I a god?"; "NO"; "Thank you"

Well, we can certainly see where Nia got her charm

"Why do I call you boss?", OH CROKAS GAINED INTROSPECTION

"You were the best victory prize I ever got"; "I think you need to examine those words a little bit. And how that might make me feel. That you don't refer to me as your child, but as your bodyguard"

Oh, I've been waiting for the first episode for this conversation to happen. You could tell that despite everything, Fiedra always had a wall between her and Crokas, and how he wasn't able to even articulate what that meant or how did he feel. And there's a lot to unpack about Fiedra, she was sorta kinda "thriving" (for lack of a better word) in the Strife Emperor's prison, and she's never like, hide that she isn't what you may call a "good person" in the traditional sense due to the circumstances surrounding her upbringing, you know, experiencing all the cruelty and violence while growing up an orphan. I get that she cared about him in her own way, and tried to do the right thing with what she had available, but there's also some utilitarianism in the way she treated Crokas that, of course was gonna come up into the surface the moment Crokas could finally put words to those feelings.

See, Crokas knows it, the rest of the roaches were "her boys", but he was just "the bodyguard". Again, this whole "I get what you were trying to do or where you are coming from, but those intentions never translated into actions, or at least you never expressed what those actions were supposed to be" kinda way

"I needed a mom, not to fight for a boss"

Oh, now I'm starting to suspect the Key, like, that's like a suspicious timing

That "There Will Be Blood" reference was spot on

The Key has an awakened state?

Fiedra, honey, I'm sure this isn't going to end well

See, told ya

I knew there was something else going on with the key

Garen Hearthheart

Oh that Predator handshake between Matt and Brennan was just, incredible

"The Gate is built by heart alone, though hearts be held by flesh and bone, and flesh and bone by earth and stone. The door we make, when lock we break, will bridge the waters, roads to take. The stones that stand to staunch the flood, freedom found by toil and blood. By stone betrayed, the seal is made. The hand that holds the heart that prayed. The stairs it shaped, the debts it paid. The gate is shaped, the keystone layed."

Yeah, that little moment gave me all the emotions.

Also, intended or not, the dwarven script?prayer?chant? kinda sound a bit like a poem about the structure of this mini campaign, doesn't it?

It seems to me that Erro's got some type of connection to Bahamut that goes beyond what his parents' faith and what they used to do

Loved the idea of like, the spell rules are basically the new rules of Divine Magic, and they're still being settled, so the Moonweaver can kinda bend them a bit

Look at Liana just, giving the ultra abridged version of the events of Downfall

Of course Brennan wouldn't resist having Asmodeus back again one final (?) time

Oh, so there was something else regarding the way the gods made themselves mortals and why they forgot who they were supposed to be. Also, many more came but never found out who they were.

Ok, I'm calling it now, Erro is Bahamut.

Look at Fiedra trying to make things up and good with Crokas. Good for them.

Love the idea of Crokas going full Batman in Vasselheim. Like, imagine a monk that's basically a miniature Godzilla (which is still huge in this case), jumping through the buildings. Kinda like Absolute Batman I guess, in terms of size.

It is amazing in retrospective to think that Nia is basically the founder of the way divine magic will be practiced in Exandria up until, basically, the end of Campaign 3 (and probably even after that, like, divine magic is still there, even if the gods reverted to mortal form). This kind, young girl who had to endure so much, became a self taught cleric that in a way became the standard for most of religious practitioners, at least of the Prime Deities.

NGL, I'm gonna miss the sound that Celia's hair and their braids make and how it goes through the mic

NOT THE FIREWORK EXTRAVAGANZA AGAIN??!!

All that Batmaning helped Crokas with that Nat20 in stealth

Glad that Jasmine went straight into singing System of a Down

They're rolling inside a chapel, I'm kinda surprised that nobody has done a "Chapel Roll" joke

Satan?!

Oh, thankfully Jasmine remembered the change of DC

"STOP FIDGETING", fuck yeah, nice callback

Oh, the way the dice conspired for Garen to just, obliterate the stone pillar

68 points of damage to the pillar, as a level 0 character, freakin' Matt Mercer

Crokas going full Godzilla vs the Muto

Seriously, thanks to Alex for finally showing the world the idea that the coolest fucking thing ever is basically Batman Godzilla

ASMODEUS

Fuckin' key man, I knew there was something shady

Oh, the fucked up boy was a vessel for Asmodeus

Brennan's got the Lord of the Hells just, nailed to a T, he basically made how he's supposed to be in Exandria, there's an edge and a special charisma to him that I really kinda missed when Matt played him in the final episodes of the C3, where it kinda felt a bit more, stereotypical evil. I remember writing in one of these posts something similar, there was a moment when Asmodeus talked with Braius and that was the best moment when Matt kinda channeled Asmodeus the way Brennan played him. Now, don't get me wrong, this isn't a dig at Matt, is just, Brennan basically made the blueprint so whenever it kinda veers a bit, it feels odd.

"It's dwarven for 'get fucked'"

I was waiting for someone to roll into the "ASMODEUS" part from Ghost's "Year Zero"

We went full Kingdom Hearts with the key going into Timothy's chest and giving it a soul

You can add a Timothy to your inventory

Why is Asmodeus so focused on Garen btw?

And down goes Erro, like a fucking boss, saving Garen in his last moment, what a legend

That "thank you for setting me free" sounded like a thing a God would say to me

"I Lied"

The Moonweaver went to the Lord of the Hells and told him "you can't bullshit a bullshitter", and it was glorious

See, the Platinum Dragon returned just as Erro died

Oh Liam

"I think you have a second chance to be somebody's mom... Don't fuck it up"

I WAS BORN TO BE A HOME FOR THE DEVIL

Kephekedriel!!

"I wanna be different"

Crokas founder of the Cobalt Soul confirmed

I love Crokas so much, what an amazing character

And now I'm sobbing

To teach people that no matter how lonely they feel, they're never alone

Oh, now only Matt and Brennan are at the table, I just know this is gonna be special

Dragonstrike!

Look at Garen founding Kraghammer, we've seen already 2 cities being founded

A town named Bend you say? In a swamp? This is Stilben isn't it?

It's still Bend, hahahaha, amazing

Oh, Liam's back, what's going on

Erro was Bahamut, I knew it

Oh wait, wait... is Garen the All Hammer?

That "gotcha" from Brennan

"That world that YOU created"

Oh, and it was special in the subtitles

I just joined the dots, this was all a love letter to Exandria and to Matt's work, incredible

Oh man, Liam describing everything with such joy like, the love letter to Matt

The voices weren't memories, they were prayers

What a world he made

It's clear that Matt had no idea this was going to happen

This brought me memories from Liam's one shot and the way he basically expressed his love for his friends back then

Two brothers, from eternity until forever

Well, that ending was marvelous. What a way to cap 10 years of storytelling.

At this point Power Rangers has done a few crossover comics, and they've all been some pretty logical and big name choices - the Justice League, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Godzilla. So today's crossover comic is one that definitely took people by surprise - Usagi Yojimbo, the long-running story of a wandering rōnin having adventures in feudal Japan (who also happens to be a bunny rabbit), written and illustrated by Stan Sakai since 1984. While an icon in his own right - funnily enough, he's a regular guest in TMNT properties - I don't think ANYONE really had HIM in mind as a contender for a crossover with Power Rangers compared to more conventional properties like Transformers or even My Little Pony.

After all, what do they know about samurai in Power Rangers?

It's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Usagi Yojimbo!

= So I know I've gone on and on about Shawn Daley's art but I really just need you to look at them again. It just makes me so happy to see a more stylized take on the MMPRs - basically if you took Daniele di Nicuolo's art and ramped up the anime influence by 100. It gives the book that much extra charm

= who the hell is THIS I'm here for the FURRIES not another random boring human!!!!!! it's like I'm playing Animal Crossing

= Jason's attitude in this book annoys me but at the same time it wouldn't be a Ryan book if he wasn't writing Jason in a way that annoys me.

= (also, they knew about the Morphin Masters this early in their Ranger career? I guess Zordon did mention them in an early episode, but.........what have they done that's similar to this that Jason would know about kjkjdkf

= I still think it's very weird that they didn't give the whole "maybe it would be easier if I was fighting alone" to uh.....you know.....Tommy, the loner? Who's so used to fighting alone that he struggled to adjust to a team? But I guess he has a girlfriend and Jason doesn't so.

= Is this a safe space. because the rabbit is pretty hot.

= HAHAHAAAA TOKEN EVIL HUMAN I KNEW IT

= YFIP: THE MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS - assisting the villain, thievery of a powerful artifact, assault against civilians, racism against furries

= Like I've said before Jason's characterization here irritates me a bit but I'll give the book props that someone's actually allowed to call him out on it for once. Like man I wish Tommy in the main series was allowed to tell Jason to shut up once in a while like Usagi does here

= Kim: Tommy, it's 4 pm! Time to go help our friends!

Tommy: yes honey

= Wow, look at these guys! They're like......Shogun Rangers! ............wait a minute

= But seriously, though, I gotta say these are one of the best alternate MMPR designs we've gotten in ages - I LOVE how they apply all of MMPR's little details into each individual user. And the altered weapons are awesome, too. Between these and the Kaiju Rangers we've really been cooking with the alternate forms lately

= And as I said, they did manage to resist the urge to give Usagi a Ranger form. I did like my old "maybe he'll find a Samuraizer" idea, though

= They both nearly died via crystal explosion a few hours ago but all they care about is their cool new outfits, just otp things <3

= I was about to say "well yeah, duh, that's why the Dragonzord doesn't have wings" but then I remembered. oh yeah. technically the Zords aren't Japanese in origin in-universe, are they

= It's nice to see Dragonzord Battle Mode! That was a form that didn't get a lot of spotlight in the comics - I think the only time we really saw it in the main series was Shattered Grid, and not for very long before it got destroyed by Serpentera

= Kim and Usagi only get one real onscreen exchange but she also catches him in the Pterodactyl and they have matching bangs. I'll take this as a win, though Splinter is still her #1 rodent dad

= they are so fucking sad

= I think future books should bring Usagi back or just crossover with him again with no explanation. Make people think he's a PR character just like how people assume he's a TMNT character

An heir to the throne

Ok, I made this blog for both art and fanfiction. Welcome to the first chapter of my Mothzilla addiction. Enjoy!

As the smoke cleared, debris and crushed buildings riddled the entirety of the city.  The smell of burning flesh permeated the air as Godzilla composed himself. The fight was finally over, and Godzilla has finally brought peace back to the planet once again. As he looks around him, the same kaiju that had been causing mass destruction merely hours before, bowed to him in recognition of their powerful king. Godzilla growls, getting the attention of the large titans instantly. "Return to your territories. And do not leave them unless called upon. Go." He snapped, the air around them instantly changing. With haste, each kaiju bowed to their king once more before starting their journey back home. As Rodan raised himself, he could hear another low growl bellow from his superior. "You. Stay." He commanded, his piercing eyes felt as if they cut straight through Rodan's hardened exterior. Watching as the rest made their speedy exit, the fire demon quietly looked back to Godzilla with worry. For the first time in many years, Rodan felt true fear wash over him.  "My king.." he clicked calmly, lowering his head to Godzilla as he approached. "Silence." Godzilla huffed, causing Rodan to look up in shock. 

"You are a traitor, Rodan. I should have your head for your foolishness." Godzilla scowled. Rodan's gaze dropped to the floor, unable to look Godzilla in the eye. He knew what he did was reckless and defiant. He aided in the murder of the Queen, something he knew he wouldn't be able to get away with unscathed. With a few clicks of discontent, Rodan sighed in recognition. "I'm so sorry my king.." he started, searching for an excuse to somehow get out of this. "I just-" "Just what?" Godzilla interrupted, he seemed to get more irritated as the conversation went on. "I.. I was merely following the orders of the alpha. I promise.. I will never do such things again! You are the true King!" Rodan paused, his breath hitching in his chest as he waited for Godzilla's final answer. After a minute or two the large titan huffed loudly. His gaze still locked onto Rodan as he spoke. "If you ever pull a stunt like this again... your life is mine. Get out of my sight." Godzilla growled, watching as Rodan quickly spread his flaming wings and lifted himself into the air, only the ash remaining as he squabbled away. 

Godzilla watched as each Kaiju disappeared into the smoky waters away from the city. All this work just to take down one bad egg, what a waste of time. Taking in one deep breath, the titan exhaled in a seemingly relieved fashion. He turned once more to the large metal bird the humans liked to observe him in. Though they didn't do much work, he was somewhat grateful for their little help to get him back into the fight. After a moment, he turned away from them to make his way back to the shoreline. He needed to take a nice long nap after this mess. Finally getting back to the water felt amazing to Godzilla. The cool waves felt almost healing to his aching muscles and skin. Thinking back to it, he hadn't reached that burning state in quite a while. It had been years since he came so close to death, though this time was different some how. His mind pondered for a moment before remembering a crucial detail. 'Mothra's sacrifice..' he thought to himself, swimming effortlessly through the ocean currents. 'She sacrificed herself for me.. I survived because of her..' he continued, feeling an intense set of emotions take over in that moment. It had been many moon's since he last saw Mothra as well. One day she was there, warning him of a battle she would be fighting alone. And the next, she was gone. She was always so fearless when it came to fighting, though he already knew why. The thought of her re-emerging as a feisty little larvae made him crack the ghost of a smile.

Night had fallen fast as Godzilla traveled the calm seas. Slowly he rose from the waters, soot and grime falling from the creases of his battle hardened skin. He was finally met with unoccupied grasslands, the cool breeze of the night helped put him in a much more somber mood. "Mothra.." he sighed quietly, lowering himself into a large patch of grass. 

'Where ever you are..' His golden orbs raised to the moon, its rays glistening off his watery scales. 

'I know you're healing..' his thoughts continued, the sound of soft crashing waves easing his mind. 

'It does not matter how much time passes.. I will always wait for you..' he yawned, his eyelids quickly becoming heavy as exhaustion took over. 'My Queen.. I will find you again..'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The days quickly passed by Godzilla. Turning from weeks, to months, to years since the fight with Ghidorah. Though it hadn't been all sunshine and roses since then. The number of fights Godzilla found himself in was quite staggering to say the least. From Kong and Mecha Godzilla, to Scilla and Tiamat, then back to Kong and Scar King, Godzilla was tired(Though some of those fights he intentionally started).  Within a fraction of a second, Godzilla's eyes snapped open at the sound of familiar singing, a soft scent lingering as well. The large nest he had found seemed to be the same, no signs of those pesky humans at the moment. Before he could even shift from his position, her golden presence gracefully landed on the ledge of the colosseum. The soft clicks and purrs of her calls instantly calmed Godzilla as he raised his head to look at her. "My Queen..!" he snorted happily, quickly rising out of the comforts of his nest to greet Mothra. 

"My King." Mothra trilled back, watching as the large titan bowed before her. As their eyes locked, Godzilla's usual scowl softened into a longing gaze. Their initial reunion was sweet but short due to the following fight. And to add to that, Mothra stayed behind for a bit to finish up some chores in hallow earth. With that, its safe to say they didn't have the time to enjoy each others company. After a moment, both titans leaned into each other to form a tender nuzzle. Mothra's soft head fluff grazed Godzilla's snout, sending shockwaves of comfort through his body. Gentle yet excited trills and clicks came from Mothra as she melted contently into his warmth. "I have been waiting for you, my queen." He chirred quietly, pulling away just enough to look at her again. "I assume you've taken care of the humans down below?" he huffed, getting a nod of agreement from her. "I made sure to make their barrier extra sturdy." she stated triumphantly. "Though I have confidence Kong will make sure they are safe as well." she continued, a grunt of approval coming from Godzilla . "Are you ready, Goji?"  she questioned, watching as Godzilla's expression changed to instant confusion. "Ready? Ready for what? Did I miss something?" This made her chuckle as she lifted herself into the air above him. "No silly, I have a surprise for you. But you have to follow me in order to see it. So up you go." she chirped, watching as the large lizard lazily left the comfort of his nest to follow her back to the ocean. 

As Godzilla's body disappeared into the blue of the water, his calls to her could still be heard as clear as day. After small back and forth, Godzilla was finally informed of their current destination. A decently sized island just far enough away from human civilization to live comfortably. This was a pleasant surprise to him. He had been so used to stepping around (but mostly on) humans that he forgot it was truly a problem. Without sparing anymore time, both titans made their way to their new nest. As Godzilla lifted himself from the icy ocean waters, Mothra landed in front of him to present her findings. As he looked to her, his golden orbs rested preciously on her refined elegance. She truly is as beautiful as the day he lost her. And now was the perfect time to keep her as close as possible.
