Warm autumnal colors for this antique outfit, pairing a yabane (arrow fletching) kimono, and an momiji (maple leaves) obi in perfectly matching hues.

The vibrant haori features plump Kôrin momiji (maple leaves in the style of famous painter Kôrin).

Enekai with differing levels of bioelectricity, looking exactly like a Hóuxiān monkey (猴仙) sometimes.

Drawn by MKUchiha and Salvamakoto

Enekai was the first Yaban character I created, both predating and building off my earlier (and technically later) OC, Romaine

I have no idea why Romaine got so popular back in 2017-2018 other than the popularity of edgy OCs and Caulifla. The story of Enekai and Romaine is funny, but the truncated version is that I created Enekai at some point in 2013 for an entirely different, entirely non-Dragon Ball related story

...and recycled the basic concept of this young girl/young woman who possessed inconceivable levels of electrotelekinetic power for a few years, right up into the first Xenoverse game where I decided to adapt Enekai into a Saiyan for fun and roleplaying profit. Then that version of Enekai bounced back and forth between being a Saiyan and an elf (for yet another, separate story)

The main thing noteworthy about Enekai being that, when she was fully power-charged, she had Super Saiyan Future Trunks' hair (a trait which some artists seemed to struggle to understand)

Just because of how stupid and wild it looked, I loved that hairstyle. And helping matters was, as I mentioned before, the realization that Super Saiyan hair (and possibly even regular Saiyan hair) was so spiky because of bioelectricity

Well, because that was Enekai's standard look, I was going to go all in on adapting her into the form of a Saiyan, and this tied into the proto-Yabanverse Dragon Ball fanfic I had of there being different "tribes" of Saiyan between the elite Jinbraljin, the commoner Patotajin, and the violent demonoid outcasts Mayasaijin, with Enekai being a hybrid of the latter two.

Well, about six months after that last commission with Enekai having extreme hair, another Saiyan was introduced. A Saiyan girl with the same hairstyle as Super Saiyan Future Trunks.

This presented a slight problem because now basically no matter what I did to say otherwise, any Enekai commission would easily be accused of being a typical recolor OC, so I decided to just roll with it and commission Caulifla, but now with muscles and Hiei's clothes

And also, just for fun, I commissioned Kale with her hair down

Because look at her! Actually r63 Z!Broly, and no one seemed to realize it at that particular moment in time.

(This seems to have been the start of Salvamakoto's commission career, unless I'm mistaken)

Well that was fun, but I eventually wanted to commission Enekai in full, but again I chickened out, and decided to revisit Hiei-lifla and make some "edgelord donut steel" adjustments, and voila, Romaine

Then, it was mid-December 2017 when I decided to drop all pretenses and just make the Yabanverse a thing

"I'll make my own Saiyans! With blackjack! And hookers!"

And I had Enekai right there, so I used her as the basis for the "Yabansaru-seijin".

@nolanthebiggestnerd

Enekai's design with the elf ears and weirdly ghoulish skin is a vestigial remnant of the very early Yabanverse, back when Yabans were just similar to Saiyans but actually spliced from alien monkeys and elves and Enekai herself was still very recently an elf herself IRL.

Enekai was a fine MC for the Yabanverse, but my sentiment on her soured after I created Yulaan because I became ever more aware that Enekai was literally r!63 Son Goku. Take just about every single trait of Goku, and then add boobs, and you have Enekai. So much so that I nicknamed her "Lady Wukong"

We already have Son Goku. He's called Son Goku, and he's a perfectly fine Son Goku. Yulaan the Skullcrushing battle-crazed monkey pipsqueak forced to live in whitebread suburbia at least seemed more unique in comparison.

"But isn't Yuta also Diet Goku?"

Zip it!

I've never gotten rid of Enekai; she's still the one I feel should lead Strongest Under Heaven.

I participated in the TGCF Mini Bang 2022 as an artist for Withering Lotus, a modern heavy metal au fic written by Yabanned and beta-read by Leonidskies!

Working with Ban on this series has been an absolute joy and I love this fic and everything about the work process more than I can describe. Ban is a lovely writer and I recommend this fic to everyone who enjoys mostly fluffy and healing modern au fics with a twinge of angst! The Xie Lian lotus cover art was based on an idea and a sketch from Ban!

Paylaşımlarım şiddetli mesajlar içermektedir. Hep birilerine hakikatleri, duygularımı sunma gayretimin göstergesidir. Aslında o birileri değildir; sadece birisidir. Biriciğimdir. O giderse paylaşımlarımda bir mana kalmaz. Hatta paylaşım yapmaya gerek dahi kalmaz. Aslında süblimal mesajlarım O'nadır benim. Hep beni fark etsin çabasındayım. Okuduğunu bilsem, hele bir de beğendiğini görsem bu çok hoşuma gider, gaza gelir daha da şevklenirim ben.

Bir çoğumuz böyleyiz aslında. Paylaşımlar, durumlar, fotoğraflar, yazılar, şiirler. Mesajlarımız vardır hep birilerine. Belki o birileri yoktur, gelmemiştir ama gelecektir. Beklentisiz bir harf dahi yazmaya gerek duymayız çünkü. Fark edilmek önemli hele de fark edilmemizi istediğimiz birilerine...

Adam sen de. Her sevgili, bizim muhayyilemizin yaratıp süslediği yaratıktan başka bir şey midir? Bu, ister bir şehirli hanım, ister bir köylü kız olsun, ona, "bir taneciğim" diyen biziz.

Sanıyorum ki, birkaç defa sevdim ve her defasında, aynı tarzda sevmekle beraber, sevdiklerim birbirinin aynı değildi. Şu halde, gönlümüz her çiçekten bal alan bir arı gibidir.

Tevekkeli, Eşrefoğlu: "Arı biziz bal bizdedir," dememiş. Bu söz, şairlerin "maşuka" adını verdikleri yaratığı, derhal ortadan kaldırıyor.
