FIRSTLY WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS BEEN A 5 YEAR HATIUS FOR Saiyuki Reload Blast-

BUT I'VE BEEN WAITING 7 PLUS FOR QILD ADAPTET UPDATES I KNOW WHO YOUR FAVORITE CHILD IS GOTDAMN!

I thought they were still on hatius to this DAY BUT apparenty they are coming back this november. I'm genuinely losing my mind because I'm thinking about getting back into Saiyuki Reload-

Idk why im on like this old ass yaoi kick (Saiyuki isn't yaoi but listen the vibes-) I wanna actually read Kyo Kara Mao and watch it again. Why was this media i was so obessed with all written old ass women. An it still eats down!!

Brah like they all get sick and disappear I need them to be on watch, with life alert fucking NOW!

[dvasva]

sometimes i think i have a coherent thought about how in transmigration/isekai stories written by men the protagonist imposes themselves upon the world without caring much about social convention while in transmigration/isekai stuff written by women the protagonist tries their hardest to fit in and not draw unnecessary attention or do something out of character or weird, especially in danmei transmigration stuff....

and then i see shibuya yuuri harajuku furi in my peripheral squaring up against everyone and making baseball the national sport. the most shonen protagonist trapped in a bl harem.

Added this OVA series

[blorboresidue]

still I cannot look upon prince canute without seeing king saralegui. aside from looking exactly alike, both characters are the exact same age and both are royalty. and the thing is in the kkm novels saralegui already canonically has an identical twin who was separated from him at birth and is also royalty but in a faraway land. I guess tomo takabayashi never thought to inform us that sara and yelshi were actually triplets and the third son was reverse isekai'd to earth

A nice anon actually requested this song, which I was very surprised (and pleased) about! Piano cover of Soubou or Longing from the Kyou Kara Maou ost! The request was for a transcription so that will be coming soon!

Also in case you didn’t know, Tomo Takabayashi is going to release something in November, so in a way this is in celebration for that (and the revival in the fandom I’ve been seeing lately)! （˶′◡‵˶）

Kyou Kara Maou! S images

So, they announced last year in January that MaruMA was getting a new manga series called "Kyou Kara Maou! S" that was supposed to come out last summer but it never did, I don't think they ever said why it just didn't happen? I haven't been playing enough attention to this series though. They've just published a few pictures on comicbushi and I swear I was looking at the past pictures a few days ago when they posted chapter 0 for Yuuri's birthday that I just translated but now they've taken them down so I had to search the internet to try to find backups of them... I think I found them all? lol

They might not be the best quality anymore but I didn't think about downloading them when they were still up a few days ago. Since I didn't see that they were going to expire and they had been up for months.

Maybe now that they've published chapter 0 they'll actually start publishing the series.

There's also a short story from Takabayashi that they published for new years that I've been meaning to translate up on the comicbushi website but I saved that months ago I just need to work on it lol.

I also have 2 drama cds that came out in 2018 and 2019 that I am planning on translating soon too.

So here's the translations for these images

The first one of Yuuri and Wolf was published in January 2021 when they announced they were making a new series and it says

"It's still a bit in the future but please look forward to it~! (Matsumoto Temari: artist)

I thought about what the "S" stands for. Going in order of sa, shi, su, se, so: Surprise! Hot water (Sapuraizu! Sayu), Short! Shishamo (Shoto! Shishamo), Setup! Alderfly (Settoappu! Sennpuri), Sword and Sheild! Soumen (Sodo and Shirudo! Soumen). Choose whichever you like! (Takabayashi Tomo: Writer) "

(TN: This doesn't make much more sense in Japanese that's as good as I got lol)

----------------

The second one was published for valentines day last year and it says

Yuuri: Japanese chocolate is good, isn't it? That white one has a strawberry in it and this place one has alcohol in it.

Conrad: I like black so if it has brandy in it that's even better

Gwendal: ......

Wolfram: Your retainers shouldn't eat black things, it's disrespectful! ......so I'll take the white one. Note near Wolf: Black is the color of nobility for Mazoku

Paper on Gunter: Banned from chocolate. (So he doesn't get his juices on them)

---------------------

The third one was posted for white day and it says

Note: At the Shibuya Household

Shouri: Last month there was setsubun and national foundation day and this month is the vernal equinox. There's no time for whatever white thing you're talking about

Yuuri: Eh? But there baseball season opens this month, too

Murata: Like I said, this doesn't have anything to do with white day but I baked some cookies

(TN: I feel like there was a second part to this image but I can't find it online.... RIP second part. If you have it let me know lol)

------------------

The fourth picture doesn't say anything it's just for Yuuri's birthday last year.

The Great Demon Kingdom Magazine

Spring Issues, Vol. 01 || A glimpse of the life in The Blood Pledge Castle through ca-me-ra lenses.

His Majesty The Demon King, Shibuya Yuuri, brought an instant-painting-machine from Earth. This machine that might rival Lady von Karbelnikoff’s inventions was called a camera. It was small, light, and no magic power required. Brilliant it was, though it broke eventually due to its soaked condition, caused by water that transported His Majesty from Earth to The Great Demon Kingdom.

However, His Majesty The King and His Eminence Murata Ken were kind enough to share what had been captured.

For those who were curious about His Majesty Yuuri’s remarkable charms, beautiful black hair and black eyes, he is as beautiful as he was rumored to be, apparently. His Eminence is also the same.

According to Lillit Rach Nanatan Mikotan Dacascos, the humble soldier that sent these pictures, while His Majesty and His Eminence were having fun sharing their portraits—His Majesty found it very pleasing to also share some of official portraits of other residents of Blood Pledge Castle, purposely posed for this special request of The Demon King.

His favourite one was (reason unknown) a portrait of Her Royal Former Majesty, Lady Cäcilie von Spitzweg, his predecessor. No one doubts her beauty and I believe, dearest readers, you will find yourself also fall into her unavoidable charms.

Her three sons are undeniable handsome, but the rumor of how His Excellency The Third Son, Lord Wolfram von Bielefelt, is the only one who is beautifully similar to his mother, is apparently true. Maybe this is one of the reasons why His Majesty puts these unrivalled beauties on his favourite lists. Lord von Bielefelt, after all, is his devoted fiancé.

His Excellency The Second Son, Lord Conrart Weller is no stranger to ladies’ ears nor eyes. He is quite popular, after all, and after this newest portrait of his was shared, perhaps his popularity will increase even more.

And although His Excellency The Oldest Son, Lord Gwendal von Voltaire, is not interested in spotlights, ladies (and gentlemen) still find his cold demeanors completely mesmerizing. People began to talk, however, of how Lord von Voltaire remains unmarried up until now—although he is the head of von Voltaire household. But one of the rumors said that he already landed his heart to his childhood friend, one of The Three Great Witches, Lady Anissina von Karbelnikoff.

The rumor still rings untrue, unfortunately, since the famous Red Devil, Crimson Anissina also prefers being a single woman. She was rumored fighting giant bear single-handedly and feared by most of men in the kingdom, but if we take a look closely, her admirable petite form and beauty is still a match to Lady Cäcilie’s.

The dilemma of this Mad Magicalist / Inventor’s unladylike behaviour and her beauty was frequently felt by one of von Voltaire’s men, Jozak Gurriere, who also happened to be captured by His Majesty camera, and stated boldly that he wanted to somehow being in the same frame with Anissina-chan and challengingly “do romantic poses with her”, but was too afraid of his boss.

Speaking of the most beautiful person in the kingdom, it is not fair if this particular person wasn’t mentioned in the first place. His Excellency Lord Günter von Christ, the famous tutor of the royal family and The King’s loyal advisor. Though men fancied him, apparently his only interest is His Majesty himself.

Today is Takabayashi Tomo’s birthday. 

Happy birthday T-sensei!

[marumafan]

(headcanon)- The End Game Theory

It's been a long time since I've done one of these, but I was chatting about Shinou and I end up going down memory lane and adding more and more stuff to my explanations and... I can't recall if I've ever put this all together before, but here are some ideas that have been brewing in my head.

I take this info from: 1) The novel canon (mostly Gaiden 4 , which needs to be read and analyzed more, and also Gaiden 2) 2) The manga canon (knowing that GEG, the script writer, has always been privy to the end plot) 3) Drama cd 43, written by GEG (the editor and writer for the first manga) and TT-sensei (TT- Takabayashi Tomo, the author of the novels)

1) Soushu

-From the maruma encyclopedia, MA hon- 

"soushu : When they tried to swallow the entire world, a group of brave people lead by Shinou and Daikenja defeated them, and their dangerous existence was sealed into four boxes. (Novel 1)"

Notice how they're called 'existence' without clarifying exactly what they are. In the novels they were referred to as ‘consciousness that stagnated’.

-----------------------

2) The Boxes

- From the manga chapter 114-

Who was the soushu inside Wolfram's box? Shinou's older brother.

Now... is this the brother from Gaiden 4, chapter 3?

I just want to remind everyone that it was GEG who was writing the script for the manga, and she's probably known the end game for a long time.

-----------------------

3) Shinou's Older brother

-From Gaiden 4, chapter 3 - 

(Shinou's older brother) “There’s no need to be so formal with me, my mother is simply a female officer as well, so she’s in about the same position as you.”

(Shinou or his mom) “Even so, you are the oldest prince, Your Highness.”

(Shinou's older brother) “I was just born earlier than my other brothers.” (...)

(later, Shinou talking to Murata)

“On the battlefield, he wouldn’t let himself fall to the point where he had to be protected, after all he is quite capable in his own right. But he was killed by his own hand. After he was accused of planning a rebellion, the king ordered him to take his own life. However…”

That man grasps his hands and puts them behind his head, closing his eyes as he leans backward. Although he’s just a soul, his actions and mannerisms are still very lifelike.

“There are also rumors that the head belonged to someone who died suddenly in a bar three days prior, and that the prince had already successfully left the country under the guidance of a dancer.”

“The dancer you mean is…”

“Well, who could it be? The truth is I didn’t witness it with my own eyes either, after all I had already left before the woman who gave birth to me returned to the country.”

And he continues with an expression of pity,

“If the brilliant oldest son had inherited the throne, that country wouldn’t have fallen so early on. At the very least, it would have held on to fight against me.”

“Even if the opponent is a man as good as a father to you, you still wouldn’t hesitate to fight—seems like you really are a battle-hungry man.”

-----------------------

4) Shinzoku and Mazoku

I've already gone into a deep dive about the connection of shinzoku and mazoku before here, in the Soushu Connection .

In short, it's novel and manga canon and that houryoku and maryoku are two sides of the same coin, it's the same energy.

And let's not forget that the boxes themselves release houryoku (the energy used by the shinzoku), which is why the mines in Svelera where the box was found had so many houseki, and why the houseki disappeared once the box was removed.

-----------------------

5) Cherie and the blood

A deep dive on Cherie and how she's been doing Shinou's bidding since forever.

But more importantly, in drama cd 43- Secret (written by TT sensei) it is heavily implied that Cherie is Shinou's closest descendant (and I'm pretty sure it's also implied in Gaiden 4 chapter 7.1)

---------------------------

6) Yuuri

Remember the Wincott theory, where I gathered that maybe Miko was a Wincott and that's how Yuuri got the Wincott blood? But what about Shouma? What if... what if the black haired mazoku on earth are all descendants from Daikenja? Making them all related to Shinou as well?

I can't forget that part where it says that Shinou chose a very specific family for Yuuri.

 - From Gaiden 2- Chapter 1 -  (Shouma) "So why did you bring it to far-away Boston and not your own country? Not only that, why did you choose my family from the tons of mazoku all over the world?"

(Bob)"There seems to be some reasons. However, I haven't been told them and I don't intend to ask." Bob, who looked like an actor, narrowed his eyes meaningfully. "This is an important soul that will eventually become a king. They're sending it abroad - and to another world where the society and culture is different. That requires significant resolve and, conversely, a significant reason. Under those circumstances, the other side gave us their faith and entrusted it to us. Shouldn't we try to meet their expectations?"

(...)

(Shouma)"Why my family? There are beautiful couples everywhere out there in the world who are more wealthy and skilled."

(Bob)"Oh? I heard from your grandaunt that your wife is a wonderful woman."

(...)

(Bob) "Come now, I chose you so you have to trust me a little. I'll tell you, but what they want is black hair, black eyes, passion, guts, and a sense of justice. That and average intelligence. There were a few more unique conditions, but after taking them all into account, I'm entrusting it to you, Shibuya, as a Japanese person.

-----------------------

7) Summary

[] Shinzoku and mazoku are opposite sides of the same thing. (Girl is a Witch)

[]  In Japanese mythology, shinzoku are the god people and mazoku are those who oppose them. (Japanese definitions of mazoku/shinzoku)

[] The boxes release houryoku (Svelera). (novel 3)

[] The soushus (creators/gods) in the boxes are Shinou's relatives. (manga chapter 114)

[] Shinou's trying to get all the keys (that Murata put in others'blood) to be related to him, through Cherie. (drama 43, Secret  and Gaiden 4, chapter 7.1)

The End game: Shinou wants the boxes, because they have his powerful trapped relatives in them and wants to use their power to conquer the world. Somehow he wants his descendants to be able to control his ancestors powers in the boxes, and ultimately getting that power for himself.

extra1 -  Shinou's brother (or father?) may have originated the shinzoku, which would explain why Alazon could use the fire box (which happened to be the one that had the brother’s soul in the manga).

extra 2-  Yuuri might also be "in the family". I mean he's the main character, if this whole story is about Shinou's family and powers, shouldn't he be "in it", too?
