Reincarnated Setsuna AU

Explanation below, also this is based on Setsuna's original story and appearance from Rinne's lore scroll.

I can't help but notice they both have short purple hair and pink clothes

Setsuna in the lore scroll gives Maria Robotnik (kind and sweet) vibes, but it's not hard to imagine this is just how Rinne remembers/thinks of her

In reality, Setsuna could've been more like Hailey. Her unabashed geekiness, her talkativeness, her passion and dedication to the things she loves, all of that could still be found in Setsuna, but more subdued due to the difference in environment

Setsuna's parents were abusive and hated that she could see yokai. Growing up in an environment like that, ofc she wouldn't be as loud or talkative. Meanwhile, in her next life as Hailey, her parents are supportive of her interests. As a result, her natural personality flourishes, and we're able to see her unabashed geekiness

Hailey's favorite Sailor Cutie has pink hair... maybe it reminds her of a long forgotten friend from a past life

The biggest thing about this AU is the angst potential. Like it's been hundreds of years, Rinne is still trying to get revenge against the Enma clan, and it's been so long that his childhood friend reincarnated. Not only that, but her reincarnation has befriended the current Lord Enma

It's even sadder if they first reunite at the Goku Yomakai tournament. Tldr, the criminal Goku yokai hijack a martial arts tournament and plan to kill Lord Enma if the winner can't beat Extreme Venoct. Assuming the winner is a watchholder, the watchholder would be Hailey in this AU. Rinne might not connect the dots about Setsuna's reincaration immediately, but seeing his plans fail to a purple-haired bobcut girl who's about the same age as when Setsuna was would cause a crisis. Meanwhile for Hailey, Rinne seems oddly familiar to her, but since she doesn't remember her past life, she thinks he just reminds her of a character she can't think of immediately...

Dats it, Kodaka! I'm calling you out! I know you're a yokai watch fan! The evidence is clear!

First in danganronpa V3:

Granted, that was back when Yokai watch was still a hot topic, so you slipped passed suspicion at the time...

Then in raincode, the mascot was this!

Shinigami is so obviously inspired by Whisper not only in design, but having the exact same kind of physical comedy of warping her body and pulling objects from thin air! As well as being a ghost servant to a human boy that almost no one else can see.

Again this is circumstantial... UNTIL TODAY!

FUCKING.

GHOST BUTLER!

I'm onto you now, you Slippery bitch!

(For real I love this guy's games and am definitely excited for Last Defense academy and how exactly Kodaka manages to rip my heart out my chest this time)

[whimsicallywiddershins]

I'm watching the new Natsume Yuujinchou season, and I am really noticing how different Natsume's eyes look compared to everyone else's. All the other human characters have round pupils, even when they are startled, but Natsume has cat-slit pupils, no matter what he is feeling. When he is suprised, they narrow, but even when calm, his pupils are not round.

It's such a subtle difference, especially because his coloring isn't that unusual (unlike the manga) but it's noticeable and makes him feel different than the other humans. I can only imagine other people subconsciously pick up on it, and its just one more thing that isolated him from people when he was growing up.

[enteringdullsville]

This is just an expression I love to draw.

🤔🤔🤔

What if her link to the tree is that because it’s a part of her soul, which sprouted the moment she was born, and is a way for her to always remain a part of Yomakai, making her, in a sense, immortal ?

And said connection makes her absurdly powerful, and grants her great phytokinesis, taking the form of blooming cherry trees-

[boredomincarnate16]

Remember having this Yo-Kai Watch theory that the befriendable Rudy in Blasters and 3 (yes, you can befriend him in 3, via a Yo-Kai Circle) is a Jibanyan stuck in OneChanceSide. With the only evidence being the fact that there is canonically a multiverse in Yo-Kai Watch and these merchandises:

'Sides from these, yeah, the theory is kinda BS, lol.

[aura-bug]

this is probably gonna be a dumb question but like. is lucas fucking DEAD in ykw4

listen I have a very limited knowledge of ykw4 but SURELY shien's ""evil heart"" coming back has some sort of consequences for Lucas. like thats his SOUL dude. like idk if having your soul get ripped from your body to form a whole other person is really something you can survive?????? is lucas ok????????????????????????

it also scares me bc Lucas doesn't show up in ykw4 at ALL. I joke a lot about Lucas not getting any attention ever but at least he had quest/cameos in other games. you'd THINK that the game with the heaviest focus on the enma family would at least have Lucas SOMEWHERE,,,,, it's not even like they were trying to retcon him out of existence or anything, they mention him sometimes and venoct can even be found in mt. wildwood standing where he usually is in other games, waiting for him to come back. SURELY he must be absent from the game for a REASON.

WHERE IS HE. WHERE IS THE BOY. WHGJAT HAPPENED TO HIM. IS HE DEAD DID THE ""EVIL"" HEART GETTIN G UNLEASHED FUCKING KILL HIM. IS HE OKAY

Rise Magic Watch - Fists of Furry, The Clothes Don't Make the Turtle

The April-Splinter dynamic in this show is highly entertaining, and also just. Fascinating. She seems to have a better relationship with him than his kids do, and I can't help but wonder how that played out.

That being said: weird yokai komodo dragon.

Or as Leo puts it, "some kind of venomous yokai pet or something."

The venom seems to give you a power up... at a cost. The leakage of the yokai world into the human one is constant and messy.

But now for the meat of this posts: The Clothes Don't make the Turtle. SUCH a fun episode to watch, but also. The Implications.

Let's cover Hypno's abilities in this episode first.

So, this is an interesting expansion on what goes on with his illusions. Sound based - but the sound continues playing... inside their heads? Inside the shared illusion/mind-control? The fact that you can shut it off by finding/destroying the source of the hypnosis-sound is interesting, too. You'd think he'd make that thing indestructible.

Then, there's the fact that when it fade they're revealed to have been inside a room the same size as the "clothing store" they were in is interesting to me. When Hypno gets trapped at the end, you see him standing still in reality after moving around in the illusion - but there's just enough room here the turtles could have been actually moving the way they were inside the illusion without bumping into anything.

...the sitting on the couch might have been an issue, though.

Additionally!

"Did you learn the power of self-love in order to break free?"

First: Mikey was right. Second: ...there was an actual break-out clause included in his illusion??? Why would he? Do you think that's just... how the magic has to work, or something?

I've mentioned before that magic is very conceptual in this series, so it would be interesting if your "spells" have to work within the rules of the conceptual frame-work you're crafting them in. He created an "80s movie makeover montage" - likely watched those kinds of movies himself - and so had to follow the rules of the trope. Just a theory, but it would fit the vibes I've been picking up off his magic in the past and makes for some interesting world-building opportunities.

What I also enjoy is that his defeat - while sudden - isn't a total ass-pull. Well, Donnie having it recorded kind of is, but... we've known since Hypno Part Deux that his hypnotism can be embedded into a recording - that is not a new aspect of how his powers work. This just adds that he's not immune to his own magic.

All of that's interesting! But now. About those journals.

Magic circle magic circle magic circle. Magic. CIRCLE!!!

I have SO many questions about Houdini (and the entire stage-magic industry) in this world, what the fuck.

I mean. Look at that! First off, while the book started opening/glowing just from Hypno brandishing it, the circle appeared after a chant - "soizon hoizon", to the best of my listening ability. the effect being the world flipping into crazy-version.

But that circle!!!!

The color + squiggle writing reminds me of the circle used to get Mayhem out of the mirror, but the half-moons in the border call back to the circle the "Council of Heads" used. And the star in the middle is entirely new!

It's significantly less complex than the "escape the mirror" circle as well, but perhaps the addition of verbal components makes up the difference? He continues to recite spells from the book throughout the chase. Now, these are... I couldn't quite understand what he was saying, for all of them.

"Pastour reina" was the clearest - trapping Raph inside the playing card.

I couldn't understand the one for Donnie at all, though it seemed to summon copies of Hypno for a curb stomp.

With Mikey it was "Galli ????", which kicked off the little slap-stick popping out of things routine.

In any case.... spell books exist, and you can learn magic from them. And this can/will involve spell circles Confirmed. Officially. Like it's right there, actually in the text, I've been picking up the clues right the whole time I'm so happy.

Anyways, to close, this thing is back:

I'm sure that won't be a problem any time soon.

[gaiamossiah]

Finally watched the new eps of season 7 because I saw a clip of Isamu already as well as the matoba right eye scene. And ever since reading the chapter about it, I've been wondering (probably a lot of fans, too), whether:

1. The Matoba ancestor with the "sight" already, met the yokai and it helped them solve something and the reward would be the Matoba right eye. Or;

2. The right eye belonged to the yokai to begin with. I dont want to slander their clan but it just crossed my mind. What if the ancestor does not initially have the "sight" but they require it to solve something? So this yokai helped them by letting them "borrow" their eye and once the ordeal is done and solved, they should return it. But they didn't. And with the yokai having their sense of time as it is, didn't come for it until much later. Then the Matoba clan already flourished in the exorcist business and returning the eye would endanger them losing their "sight" altogether. And losing the sight will make them lose their source of income i guess. (Idk if they have other businesses out there aside from exorcism stuff but yeah)

It was just kinda strange how there's already a spot for the eye... Like someone just yoinked it out. Unlike the bug yokai with Natsume's relative, the one asking for a mouth? It does not have a mouth yet but hunts people who can "see" to give him one.

But hey it could also be someone else (not a matoba) yoinked the eye out first. Then it met the Matoba ancestor and made a promise they could not or have no plans of fulfilling. Idk for how long the Matoba clan has been having this eye issue but it would be crazy if Reiko is the one who yoinked the eye before it met the Matoba guy (just considering this theory, ok?). Or maybe someone from the Natsume clan way waaaaay back ( I just assume the Natsumes were a big clan before or idk some legendary ssr grade family that has strong sight power once every few gens).

Idk if there's other media of natsuyuu (like light novels, special chapters only available to certain people, etc.) out there other than the manga so I have no idea if the truth about this matter has been revealed already and I've only read the manga until chapter 119. So be kind if i said anything wrong and pls correct me kindly :)))) i would love to know actually what happened hahaha im one of the rare ones that love spoilers haha

[amf-studios]

Yokai watch conspiracy time!

So, in yokai watch jam, there's a character named Chiaki(hey, same name! :D) Hebiyama

And his mom looks like this:

Now is it just me, or does she look exactly like Katie's mom? Save for the slight change in artstyle.

Now, as proven in the first yokai watch movie, looking like one's grandparent is a weirdly common phenomenon in Springdale. And this is set about the time the shadowside cast would be having kids of their own, So here's what I think...

CHIAIKI'S MOM IS AN ADULT SUMMER ADAMS! MAKING HIM, NATE AND KATIE'S GRANDSON!

Am I looking for connections in a place they aren't there?... probably. But I think it'd be neat, so I am choosing to believe this.

Out Of The Shadows and Into The Neon (Part 17)

Draxum pulls the small vial of Leo’s blood out of cold storage (AKA the minifridge Splinter got him as an apology  for the Hidden City Teddy Bear Incident) and pulls a few drops into a syringe.

Leo’s blood is very interesting– the sample he’d looked at from Donnie back when the tots were first discovered a decade ago was mixed with saliva, diluted and difficult to work with. As a result, there were a few things that, had he had a pure sample, might’ve tipped him off to how truly unusual his grandsons are a bit sooner.

Such as the blue-green hue to Leo’s blood, making it a somewhat sludgy muted purple color rather than pure red. In small amounts it’s impossible to tell– whenever Leo has had a scrape or lost a tooth in the past, the blood was thin enough to appear normal in color. But in this thicker, purer concentration, the discoloration is noticeable even to the naked eye.

He drips the blood onto a microscope slide, then uses a vine to fetch a bubbling mix from the stovetop in the kitchen. He pulls some of it into a separate syringe, and adds one drop to the blood on the slide. He leans his hulking form over the tiny human-sized microscope and watches for a reaction.

The blood cells themselves are also interesting. It’s been clear since the boys were babies that, like most mutants and Yokai, most human illnesses didn’t really have any effect on them. But whereas with Yokai it was simple biological differences, or with Draxum’s mutants it being a result of purposeful strengthening of the immune system, Leo’s blood suggests something… more concerning.

There’s an almost corrosive element to it– not enough that it could be actually harmful to anything, even fragile human flesh, but enough that Draxum theorizes their resistance to sickness has little to do with Immune System, and more to do with viruses not being capable of surviving long enough to infect in the toxic environment.

As he watches the concentration of about a dozen human and Yokai virus cells alike mix with the sample, his theory is… given weight. Leo’s white blood cells– which aren’t white as much as they’re a teal-tinted gray– don’t even have time to react before the viruses disintegrate.

Where his ooze is based in mystic science, the mutating agent in Leo’s blood– and assumedly his brothers’ as well– is based in a science unlike anything Draxum has ever encountered. And what’s more, it’s… almost a hostile substance, based on his tests. A chemical that corrodes DNA more than simply changes it. A chemical that has a somewhat random structure in and of itself, almost like it’s the unrefined version of itself. A chemical that doesn’t seem to have been designed for purpose so much as just…

Exists, and alters whatever it comes in contact with just because it Can. 

In theory.

He’s hesitant to try and isolate the agent to confirm that theory.

He notes down his findings, then pulls out a smaller, pale purple notebook and notes the findings in a more… softened, way. The blood isn’t corrosive, it’s… potent, and the mutating agent isn’t hostile, it’s… 

It’s…

… Unique.

He puts Donnie’s notebook back in the drawer and pulls out a new clean slide.

—---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“VOILA!” Donald throws his arms wide in front of the observatory. Leo, in an oversized hoodie and baggy pants that have such wide ankles his feet are entirely covered, has to push the hood back before he can see what the surprise is. His eyes widen, mouth dropping open, as he looks upon the building and the giant telescope rising from it.

“The observatory?” Leo’s little voice is hushed as though he might scare the whole adventure itself away by speaking too loudly. 

“Not only the observatory, my space-faring nephew, but their state-of-the-art simulator!” Donald tosses Leo up and catches him on his shoulders with ease. “Now you can view space and experience it! And no matter what my dum-dum brothers may say, simulations are as good as the real thing!” Better, even, because simulations don’t drag you down into fleshy depths, don’t crawl up your shell, don’t sink into your nervous system–

“Let’s do the other stuff first.” Leo crosses his arms on top of Donald’s head. “Um, to… save the best for last?”

Donald blinks, taking a deep breath to realign himself with the present and his own body. Nothing is on his shell but his battleshell and a hoodie. Nothing is surrounding him but silken fabric. Nothing is putting pressure on his spine but his nephew. He clears his throat and lifts his arm so Leo can see the schedule on his wristpad. “As I’d already planned. First, we go to the twenty-minute projection show about constellations, followed by a visit to the small museum they have displaying real asteroid chunks.”

Leo’s eyes go as wide as they can physically handle. “You’re kidding!”

“I do not kid about science, my dear nephew.” Donald slowly shakes his head, a very serious expression on his face, making Leo laugh in both amusement and excitement. He starts walking again, Leo still up on his shoulders. “Now, to set our expectations and make sure we have the best day possible– do you want to learn the real science behind everything, or just enjoy the incredibly awesome results of said science?”

“Real science!” Leo leans forward, throwing Donald’s balance enough that he nearly slips and has to scramble for footing again. How this still happens after well over a decade of being a master ninja, he has yet to figure out. Leo doesn’t seem phased by the slip, though. “We might need it someday, if we go to space and something goes wrong.”

“Good thinking.” Or is it? Donald steals a glance at the little list of anxiety attack triggers Leon texted him earlier that morning. ‘Malfunctioning spaceship,’ isn’t on it, but… better safe than sorry?

“Of course, if you ever went to space it’d be in my GeniusTech shuttle, which would never be sent up with failure points.”

“What about if aliens attack?”

“Then we’d have a perfectly intact functioning spaceship and an excuse to test a few experimental weapons!” He’s impressed with his own voice, it holding a steady and confident quality to it that doesn’t match the one in his own head. Alien attack. 

If an alien attacks their family ever again, it won’t end well. No matter who wins.

Leo is about to posit another worst-case-scenerio to plan for when they finally enter into the observatory itself. It’s a sort of hybrid observatory-planetarium-museum-amusement park, the grand entrance highlighting a replica of a real NASA shuttle right in the center. Leo stares up at it, mouth agape, and then without warning he swings down from Donald’s shoulders and onto the floor! He grabs his uncle’s hand on the way down, going straight into tugging Donald along as he runs to get a closer look at the craft.

“Leo! Slow down!” Oh, if that isn’t a familiar sentence to be saying. “We have all day to explore the wonders of this bastion of science and overpriced commemorative mugs! LEO!”

—---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mutants And Yokai Welcome

“That’s a thing?” Donnie clings to Raphie’s side. Raphie has on his white sleeveless tracksuit, while Donnie is basically swimming in light purple fabrics of a hoodie and sweatpants. Donnie reads the sign above them, over and over. “Mutant, Yokai, and human events?”

“Didn’t used to be, but, they’re gettin’ way more common.” Raphie keeps one hand behind Donnie’s back to gently pushing him forward as he walks in. “I actually didn’t know this was, though. Sorry for makin’ you wear the disguise.”

“It’s okay.” Donnie only breathes the words as he takes in the sight around him– humans, Yokai, and mutants alike all gathered, chatting and socializing like it’s the most normal thing in the world, sitting together in the stands all intermingled and excited. He’s never seen it outside of his own home and family before. Somehow it feels… impossible.

But it’s not.

Only one thing matters here, and it’s the Wrestling.

“Oh, nice!” Raphie is handed a program by a young opossum-man. “Let’s see, uh… whoa! They’re havin’ mixed fights! Ha, hate to be the human havin’ to wrestle this guy, huh?” Raphie shows Donnie a picture of one of the wrestlers, a rhino (mutant, according to his brief description by his photo) with a wrestling mask only on his horn, his face otherwise uncovered. 

Donnie tugs on the strings of his hoodie. “Uh, doesn’t that seem… dangerous? The human could get really hurt.”

“Some humans are mutant-strong without bein’ mutants.” Raphie pats his shoulder, and Donnie climbs up so Raphie doesn’t lose track of him in the crowd as they make their way to the back row. There’s already a few other Incredibly Large Mutants and Yokai taking seats in the back as well. 

“Like Uncle Casey?”

“Exactly! So, it’s probably fine. And if not, I’m gonna call your aunts so they can tell the guys runnin’ this to fix it.”

“... Uncle Raphie? Are we a Mutant Mafia?”

“Wh-what?! No! Why would you even ask that?!”

“Well–” Donnie counts it out on his fingers as he lists his pieces of evidence. “You have peace accords with enemies of yours as part of a tenuous coexistence, you all use intimidation and your superior power to get people to act in certain ways on an organized level, Dad has used illegitimately-gained money to lobby politicians–”

“None of that is crime stuff, Little Man. It’s just… ninja clan stuff!”

Donnie frowns a little. “I don’t think those are mutually exclusive.”

“Well, they are for the Hamatos.” Raphie is sweating a little. Donnie’s points are a little too compelling for comfort, and he knows he’s emanating his ‘Crisis About Life Choices’ stink.

“If you say so.” Donnie doesn’t sound convinced at all. Raphie’s never been sure if Donnie’s very-hard-to-hide emotions are a good or bad thing, really, and that’s no different now. The kid wears his heart on his metaphorical sleeve, and on his literal face, plain as cheese pizza.

“Let’s just focus on the wrestling, huh Little Man?”

“Is it true Uncle Leon once won a bunch of wrestling matches?”

“Actually, we both did! We totally mopped the floor with my favorite wrestler Ghostbear!”

“ Your favorite? ... Isn’t he a bad guy?”

“Yeah, well, he wasn’t before we mopped the floor with him.”

“So you made him a bad guy?!”

“Uh… hey, look, the announcer’s coming out! Ha-ha, better stop talkin’ about this totally-not-our-fault story!” Raphie sucks a breath in, cheeks puffed and eyes going in slightly opposite directions as a single bead of sweat rolls down his temple.

Donnie is clearly unconvinced. “You know, it’s actually good for children to learn from examples or stories of mistakes and bad behavior along with good ones.”

“But a good example is always better! Like, you know your dad, do you think he’d be a serious hero and ninja without me setting an example when we were kids?”

Donnie thinks about it as the first match starts, a pitbull-adjacent Yokai verses a jacked swan mutant. Donnie’s eyes are on the match, but his mind is clearly elsewhere as his eyes delay in tracking the movements. Raphhie worries for a moment that he’s ruined the whole experience by giving Donnie something to overthink about–

“I think Dad needed you,” Donnie says around the middle of the match as the Pitbull Yokai is trying and failing to pin the agile Swam Mutant. “But, you all needed each other, too.”

“That’s right.” Raphie sags with relief as Donnie seems satisfied with his conclusion, smiling in a smug little copy of his Dad’s smirk and fully paying attention to the match. “Families need each other, for lots of reasons.”

He can help rubbing his cracked shell as he says that, or the way his eye aches with the memories. Sometimes he can’t help but lay awake and wonder what would’ve happened if… if he hadn’t been able to be there for them. Or if Leon hadn’t. If he hadn’t blocked the spike fast enough for his younger brother, or if his younger brother hadn’t gotten through to him in time… He needs them so much, all of them, his brothers and Pops and April and the Caseys and now the boys. What if he can’t always be there for them like when he got take–

“Whoa!” Donnie tugs on Raphie’s arm, eyes wide and sparkling. “The Swan won! But-but how?! The Pitbull had so many advantages!”

Raphie grips his sweatpants and takes a deep breath. He is here. Right now. “Hey, Little Man, you’ve seen Pops beat us in training plenty a’times! You know there’s lottsa different ways to be, uh, advantage-us!”

“Advantageous.” 

“Like that! You knew how to say the word, even though you’re younger!” Raphie pats Donnie on the back. “Your dad has the same advantage!”

Donnie nods, watching as a human wrestler steps into the ring across from a Koala mutant. 

The matches pass quickly once Raphie focuses on them, cheering alongside his nephew no matter which way it goes. The human ends up winning against the Koala, thanks to some slick footwork and quick thinking. Then they watch a Bee Yokai win a fight against a Labybug Yokai, a Cactus mutant lose to a Treefrog mutant, so on and so forth until the first break.

“AAAND NOW!” The announcer cheers, flipping into the center of the ring without so much as a voice crack during the stunt, “TIME FOR A LITTLE LITTLE ACTION! WELCOME TOOOO! AMATEUR CHILD WRESTLING!”

“Uhhh.” Donnie’s pupils shrink, alongside his whole form as he presses closer to Raphie. “That seems kinda dangerous.”

“You kiddin’? You already fought a supervillain, kid!”

“I thought you were disappointed we did that.”

“As a Dad and Uncle, I am. But, as a ninja, I was impressed. So I thought this could be a good way to get some of that energy out! Y’know, safely!” Raphie stands up and puts Donnie on his shoulders. “Whaddya say? Wanna try it?”

Donnie looks down into the ring, into the crowd, watching other kids shout and jump and raise their hands. And… it is more supervised than the fight with Tweetie…

Donnie raises his hand. “Pick me! I wanna go! PICK ME!”

NU CANI PONY BOYS~!!! (5/5) Finally done~!!!

Hear me out on this one please lolol I was watching Trigun while designing Rei and the inspiration hit hard. I've had this theory for a while that Rei is either half yokai or mutated in some way so the extra feathers/wings just fits with it a bit too well

There! Done! On to the next project~! Thank you for bearing with me as I dipped back into drawing ponies after Years. I'm honestly quite impressed with how a few things turned out but I'm also not about to ramble! Bye!

Cutie marks: @misty-the-mysterious

[halfetirosie]

🐟🦊🐟 At least there's a silver lining to this shitstorm!!! 🐟🦊🐟

(Scales 11 - 13 React-os!)

Is it a happy ending? No. But it wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be! ദ്ദി ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ )

1) I know I'm just repeating myself at this point, but this moment is very TELLING about how this village, by the chief's own admission, really view merfolk.

"we could say this is what you live for"????

---BITCH?!?!?!?!

You know what this shows me? A NAUSEATING amount of feelings of UNJUSTIFIED ENTITLEMENT.

Even though Umi told the villagers multiple times that he wasn't protecting the island for their sake---and it's a known fact that they massacred merfolk in the past---they've deluded themselves into thinking they're entitled to his protection; despite how SHITTY each and every one of them are. 😡😡😡😡😡

2) ✨ A RARE HEROIC (or I guess anti-heroic?) KUYA!!!!! ✨

YASSSS, BITCH!!!! TRASH IS MEANT TO BE BURNED!!!! 🎉🔥🎉🔥🎉🔥🎉🔥🎉🔥

I know that Eiden is probably going to stop Kuya soon, much to my annoyance, but I really needed a small victory in this depressing-ass event...

3) Oh GOD...

FOR FUCKS SAKE, LET ME JUMP INTO THE SCREEN, ALREADY!!!

IF NO ONE ELSE IS GOING TO TELL HIM WHAT HE NEEDS TO HEAR, I'LL DO IT MYSELF, DAMN IT!!!!

Umi, whoever this "him" you made a promise to is, he is not in the minority of humanity. I know that people can be pessimistic about the nature of humans, since we tend to remember negative events more than the positive ones, but I can confidently say that the majority of humanity at least have a sense of basic morality.

Unfortunately, though, it seems that that guy WAS in the minority on this island.

SO JUST LEAVE THESE ASSHOLES!!!! THEY DON'T DESERVE YOU!!!!

4) Umi, please stop torturing yourself!!! You already know the answer to this question!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭

THE ANSWER IS A BIG, FAT NO!!!!!

Hell, I would even go so far as to say that it never "the place of your promise," since it was never a place worth protecting in the first place.

----WAIT. 😨 (⊙_⊙)

UMI, WHAT DO YOU MEAN "PROTECT FOR ALL ETERNITY"?!?!?! YOU SAID IT YOURSELF; YOU ONLY PROMISED TO DO IT FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME, UNTIL THE SEAS NATURALLY STARTED TO RECLAIM THE ISLAND.

UMI, YOUR PROMISE WASN'T FOR ETERNITY!!!! DO NOT GET IT TWISTED!!!!

UMI, DO NOT DEDICATE YOURSELF TO THIS ISLAND BEYOND THE BOUNDS OF THIS PROMISE!!!!

5) GODDAMNIT, UMI!!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

NOOOOOOO!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

6) ???? Another ✨ HEROIC KUYA ✨????

Okay; it's kinda unclear what Kuya did here, but the fact that Kuya even did something instead of just watching bullshit happen (his usual M.O) is proof enough to me that he somehow saved Umi's life.

I DON'T CARE THAT UMI IS NOWHERE TO BE SEEN!!!!

We don't know what type of fish he is! He could've easily slipped away in his Tiny Fish Form while everyone was semi-blinded from the light!!!! 😤😤😤

To specify, here's my theory as to what happened here:

Usually, if someone where to lose all of the essence they have, they would die. That is what happened in the past for the creation of the original fish scale relic.

HOWEVER, we know that in the case of yokai, if they lose a ton of/the majority of their essence, their life won't be in danger; they will simply revert to animal form and be stuck that way for a long time, until they've replenished their essence. We know this from Kuya's story of the Lord of Yokai doing that to him after he tried to take his own life, and also from Kuya doing that to the tanuki.

Therefore, when Kuya used his essence while Umi was making the relic, I think he either 1) Made some of his own essence go towards the relic (so Umi wouldn't lose ALL of his and then die), OR 2) Injected his essence into Umi the moment he lost all of his.

Personally, I think the first option is more likely, since idk if the second option is even possible.

BUT ALSO: Notice how in the image of the new relic, the scale is entirely a blue/green, except for that one tiny bit of purple on the bottom-righthand side???

UMI'S SPRITE NEVER HAD THAT SHADE OF PURPLE, YA'LL. 😎

7) Oh, my poor, sweet child... 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

One again, THE ANSWER IS A BIG, FAT NO!!!!!

Kuya should've burned this place to the ground when he had the chance!!!

8) I honestly can't even tell if Kuya is lying or not.

I mean, yes, I believe he did decide to help save Umi's life. However, I don't know if he did it out of acknowledgement/respect for Umi. I think it's more likely that he did it out of pity, or a sense of obligation to save a fellow yokai.

BUT, then again, as I mentioned in a previous post, I theorize that Kuya may have made honest attempts to get along with humanity in the past. So, I feel like there's a chance that he secretly sympathized with Umi's struggle.

9) HELL YEAH, I FUCKING KNEW IT!!!!

THANK YOU, KUYA!!! YOU DID SOMETHING GOOD FOR ONCE!!!!

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )

YOU CANNOT TELL ME THAT THIS DOESN'T CONFIRM THAT UMI SURVIVED.

I'm still very upset that Umi decided to sacrifice himself for the bitch-ass garbage-fire villagers---they should've been left to drown.

But at least Kuya was finally able to show a sliver of compassion to others!!!

HOORAY FOR THE-BARE-MINIMUM!!!!

CHARACTER GROWTH!!!

🥂🎉

...

...But does Umi still have his memories??? Is he even a yokai anymore????

...I'll just try not to think about it too hard. This event was depressing enough without adding an extra emotional crisis.

🐟 End of the misery report 🐟

I fucking love your purple prime au!!!11!!!!!1111 anyway question time!!

is brother krang still alive because in some posts you say three new "kids" because if he is that adds a bit too the plot cause well they 100% thought he was dead

weve seen the turtles and caseys opinions what about cass's splinters draxums etc

does senior hueso ever appear? tbh most of my questions involve side characters because they would be so cool too see!!

and we know they can technically still talk too the ancestors if needed do they contact them?

Thank you! ^ ^

Brother Krang being alive is something I've been thinking about as a possibility but never fully decided or what would change. Sure we see him trapped in the ship, but we don't know if it was hard enough to crush him or if he died from the explosion as the portal closed. So he could be running around, watching and waiting as he heals.

This could lead Donnie to think him hearing the Krangs' voice is just him imagining things when he starts hearing another voice in his head. Since the brother Krang doesn't speak out loud the turtles don't know what he sounds like. Bonus points if he actually talks a lot in the hive mind, almost rivaling Leo.

He could just accept Donnie as the new leader, freaking out the others when Donnie brings home another one, or decide to go rogue. This is the turtle that took control of his ship after all. Leading to a situation where Krang one and the sister Krang have to fight their brother to protect Donnie.

If he did join the group the amount of times he scared the others by silently appearing behind them. Damnit Donnie! Put a damn bell on the thing!

Casey Sr would be the only thing Other than Donnie the Krang fear. She bit one of them, will at times just stand still for hours staring at them, those monsters she calls scouts, and Purple Prime has absolutely no control over her! Casey Sr thinks she can bear them in a fight and they're too scared to test her theory.

Splinter spends a lot of time in denial. These were the things that nearly took away two of his sons, there's no way his Purple would just-

He starts to wonder if it was all his fault. He just randomly appointed Blue as the leader and didn't talk about it with the others or ask if Blue even wanted to be the leader.

He had so much potential though! Always coming up with plans and knowing his and the others' strengths and how to properly use them. Not to mention the stress was obviously tearing his oldest apart.

If he had done some things differently, would none of this have happened?

By the time he sorts himself out, the kids have started a trial run with Purple and the Krang since they apparently can't get rid of them without negatively affecting Purple. Again they had to rely on themselves because he couldn't pull himself out of his own head. He regrets making them grow up so fast but is so proud of who they've become.

Draxum is working with Casey Jr on trying to find a way to separate Donnie from the Krang. He wasn't there to see what the Krang did, but the aftermath says enough. Draxum discovers the empyrean he used to create the turtles is of Krang origin and could be part of why Donnie integrated so well. The fear that this means the other mutants and yokai that also come from empyrean are also at risk.

Hueso would definitely be worried about the kids. He doesn't see them too often after everything and they look so beat up and tired. Not to mention Leo is apparently at home healing from injuries. When he does see him again there isn't any of that usual annoying, energetic personality.

For once, Hueso wishes Leo would complain and rant to him about his problems so he knew what was going on. Knew how he could help.

It's fine! ^ ^ Gets me really thinking.

Probably not the best idea to contact the ancestors. When asked about the Shredder they gave some of the worse advice. No one wants to know what they'd say about the same species as the one that created him.

They'd talk to Karai though. She'd do her best to try to comfort them and guide them. Donatello is still family and he sees them as such, his Ninpo proves that. So she tries to be there for him to know that he's still family to them as well.

She won't say it out loud, but she does worry about him losing himself like her father once did.

Probably one of the weirdest Yo-Kai ever in the entire Yokai Watch franchise (and that is saying A LOT considering the amount of strange designs and concepts behind so many of them).

Like...why make a Yokai based on Charles Darwin, that talks about evolution theory and stuff like that? That has got to be one of the weirdest ideas in any monster catching franchise ever 😂

So I saw someone else just ask if anyone will ever see the silly side of purple and I was wondering if you had any personal headcanons for purple in this fic that you have yet to share? Totes fine if not I’m just really curious (I love BTO sm 😭🫶)

YES okay so this is off the top of my head so i can’t remember if they’ve been mentioned before or not but i just wanna share

Purple was a kid who was really invested in space. he wanted to be an astronaut, had the little star protection light in his room, etc. part of this fascination is definitely from the fact that he never had the ability to see the sky as a kid, since he was underground. (this reminds me of a scene that i had an idea for… but idk if i’ll add it!)

Purple did actually attend a Yokai public school when he was younger. he does have documentation, and he is a legal citizen (of the Hidden City). draxum pulled him out of school after bullying due to his scars (thought mostly it was because the Council of Heads was getting on his ass and he didn’t want to put Purple at risk of being targeted.) He had private tutors and at least some formal education. He a smart boy!

Purple has a tendency to over apologize. I feel awkward adding this in dialogue because (even though you cannot talk to me without hearing me say “i’m sorry” at least 15 times) i think it breaks the flow and would be a little annoying to read.

Dude gets so excited when he knows the answer to a question. someone will be like “ugh why does x have to be this way” and he’ll push up his glasses and say “WELL ACTUALLY”. not because he’s mean or anything, but because he genuinely likes to divulge information.

Purple will burn the ends of his mask off. Yes, he knows there are scissors. No, he doesn’t need them. also he’s an edgy 14 year old so he absolutely will draw a slit in his drawn on eyebrows.

Purple likes to fuck with Leo. I said this in the Discord but I absolutely think Leo would say some mundane saying like, “I’m so hungry i could eat a horse!” and purple would whip around in horror and respond, “You would WHAT? Do you KNOW how offensive that is to horse yōkai?!”

i don’t remember the context for this but i think it’s still funny:

"I could use my bombs."

"WHY DO YOU HAVE BOMBS?!"

"Tsk. Youve clearly never blown anything up before."

"AND WHY WOULD I WANT TO??"

purple has moments of over/under stimulation where he will just bang his hands on a table. i think this would be so funny to hear in the middle of the night and leo just walks in and is like “jesus what are you doing??”

purple is very sensitive to sound. he relies on sound to ground him, to keep him calm, but it can also be his worst nightmare.

purple watched black butler. idk when or why but he did. oh and undertale.

he grew up in Game Theory. i don’t care if he doesn’t like humans, it’s entertaining and he’s a fucking nerd.
