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)

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.

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
#yo kai watch#yo-kai watch#yokai watch#lucas schiffer#anyways thats just my game theory#I have very limited knowledge of 4 and................. soulogy#but I dont think having your soul split off from you to form a whole other person is survivable for anybody#really hope hes not dead and just became normal or something#I hope hes off somewhere working a 9 to 5#could you imagine if he WAS dead though.#imagine being brought back after getting erased from existence only to straight up die AGAIN#also I just realized the quest in ykw4 you have to do to befriend Shien is literally lucas's japanese name ffs im gonna kill level 5

Tw: Yokai (futakuchi onna) reader has long black hair,
A/N: I've been reading a lot about Yokai, one of my favorites is Tutakuchi Onna, so I wrote a small fic of that yokai. I may do more.
Masterlist
You were somewhat odd, but people don't really take notice of your odd behavior because they're too busy looking at your beauty. Specially your long black hair, it was very long that it reached the back of your knees. Despite everyone only focused on your beauty, Astarion was very observant of those in the traveling companions. He was the one who took notice of your 'odd' behavior.
How you ate very little and how you'd save the rest for later. At first he thought that you were just being cautious due to the amount of food you received that day. Not only that, but you'd eat alone, you never really let anyone eat with you, not even him since you and him are getting closer. He assumed something was going on, where you seen somebody else? Or did you just want to be alone? He could respect that, he knows that people need some alone time. Then, food began to disappear at night. At first it wasn't big of a deal, since there were a few of you, but it got stranger. Huge amounts of food would be gone by the next day and no one knew who or what was eating it. Everyone thought that it was an animal coming by or something.
Another things is about your hair, now you never let anyone touch it. Specially the back of your head. One time that Astarion tried to touch your beautiful hair, you nearly ripped his head off. He never touched your hair again, without your permission at least. He couldn't help himself. He just liked to touch his lover's hair and caress it lovingly. Others didn't mind, but you did. What would be the reason for your outburst? He was now demented to know. Not only that, but he had seen your hair moving in battle, it was fast, but he saw it. As if, your hair had a mind of it's own. Or was he just seeing things? He couldn't get that thought out of his head, he had to know what was going on.
It was just any other night, everyone was most likely sleeping in their own bedrolls in their small tents and Astarion was out eating livestock in the woods. He's been exhausted from that day's mission. It felt long and as if their was no going anywhere. After he was done, he headed back to the camp, ready to get some shut eye. As he approached his tent, he couldn't help but hear a noise. Listening closely, it sounded as if someone was eating. Trying to track the noise, it was coming from your tent. So it was you who has been eating the food? Of course you would, you'd eat like a bird. You didn't eat much.
When he approached your tent, he peaked inside, just to see if his theory was true. But he was met with a whole new different thing. It wasn't you that was eating, but something at the back of your head. Looking closely, it looked like a pair of lips. Munching away at the food that you had saved that day earlier. He watched as your long hair had become some kind of tentacles grabbing the food. Looking down at your physical form, it was clear that you were sleeping. As you slept, the back of your head was practically eating the food you barely ate from. What were you? You looked human, but you weren't exactly a human. So, what were you really? He thought about asking you another day or maybe you'd tell him.
You were feeling guilty, as much as you wanted to tell the others about your second pair of lips, you couldn't. You thought that maybe they'd see you as a weirdo and look at you different. You didn't really have the courage to tell them. Not only that, but the fact that you couldn't really stop it, would only make it upset. If you didn't allow it to feed, it would scream non stop until your ear drums bursted. So you had to let it eat whatever it wanted. First you tried giving it the food you had saved, but it began to eat the other food that was saved for the next day. You had to find a way and time to tell them, but you'd just think of it a lot. How they'd react about your hidden secret.
The next day you were having a lot of thoughts taking over your head. It didn't make it better that the other pair of lips was whispering many things that sounded like gibberish. You were biting at your nails, nervously, overthinking. "What is going on in that pretty little head of yours?" You heard someone say, the you turned at the direction of the voice. It was the one and only Astariron. "Oh, hello Astarion.." you said, removing your hand away from you mouth. "Hello my dear, tell me. What is wrong? You look awfully anxious." He mentioned. You were, he could probably smell it on you. Should you tell him? Do you trust him enough that he won't go and tell everyone? You thought.
Looking down at your feet, as you fiddled with your fingers nervously. "I mean.." you paused, scratching the back of your neck. "I don't know how to put it.. I mean, I've never really told anyone.." You admitted, looking back at Astarion, who was standing there. Waiting patiently. "It's okay, you don't have to tell me anything now, or ever." He responded. "But I do, It's been eating me up for days." You said, very anxiously. "Alright alright, calm down dear." He said, taking you by the shoulders and sat you down on the tree trunk. Trying to get you to relax a bit. You took a few breathes. Trying to maintain and keep yourself calm.
A few minutes have passed. Now you were much calmer. "You alright now dear?" He asked you. Which you responded with a nod. "Much better." You said, a few moments of silence passed. Then you just blurted it out. "Ihaveanotherpairoflipsatthebackofmyhead." You said rapidly. Trying to just let it out. Astarion just looked at you, a bit wide eye by how open you just were. "So, you have another pair of lips in the back of your head?" He repeated what you had said, but in a form of a question. You only nodded, hiding your face with your face with your hands. Afraid that the might say something mean to you or accuse you of something. "Oh darling! That's nothing out of the ordinary. At least to me." He said with a wide smile.
You looked up at him, seen how he didn't react the way you thought he'd react. "It's not? But, I have another mouth at the back of my head. I've been the one who's been taking the food." You added, as a way to test him a bit. "So? I sort of figured it was you. I mean, you barely eat anything and not to mention that one night." He said. This made your heart sink a bit. "Wait, you saw?" You asked him, now getting nervous. "Yeah, by accident. I just wanted to confirm my theory. It made me worry seeing that you barely ate anything. I was going to have a talk with you about that. But I came across that, so I didn't intervene." He explained.
"So you knew, but you didn't freak out and tell everyone?" You asked him, he only nodded. This was new to you, every time someone were to find out about your secret, they'd freak out and go tell everyone about it. This felt as if a huge bolder was taken off your shoulders. "Well, That was unexpected." You admitted. "I take that you're not used to that kind of confession?" He asked you. "No, normally someone would run away, thinking they'll be eater by the other lips." You explained, this made him curious. "Well... can you?" He asked you. "I can." You admitted. "You remember what happened to that one mugger that tried to mug us and he suddenly disappeared?" You asked him. "Yeah, that was odd, I was just about to-" he paused. Thinking about what you had said. "You had something to do with it?" He asked you. All you did was raise your brow at him, indicating that he was right. "You are just filled with secrets are you?" he asked, with a toothy grin. "I guess so." You responded, feeling your face heat up a bit. "Well, I wouldn't mind learning all of them, in due time." He told you with a smirk. Only making your face get even hotter.

🐟🦊🐟 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.

a BUNCH of Garu/Karu meta, part 2: eyes, Karu-fronting units, In Defense of Sexy Garu/Karu, Leroy & Garu conspiracy, Update to Rei/Gramps theory, general "character development"
So over here I wrote a bunch of Garu/Karu meta zizz-asdf-re-r-o-u.tumblr.com/post/737197419853398016/ and I knew that eventually I'd wanna write more, so here's part 2!
Once again, disclaimer that I have not played every event nor watched every intimacy rooms so I am definitely missing some lore. If anyone has additional info to my questions, lemme know! Also, spoilers everywhere!
A) Blue eyes or yellow eyes?
In a couple comments of phaerlax's fics, he suggested that Karu's eyes are actually blue and I thought I'd follow up with some ~canon~ evidence.
Ch7- every mention of their switching involves language, attitude, and mannerisms, nothing about eye color.
Ch13- Kolt is about to kidnap Garu when Karu takes over. It's very fast and happens all in 1 sentence so there isn't space to mention any eye colors, but Kolt doesn't realize they've switched until Karu has kicked him in the face
Master's Gift- when Karu is pretending to be Garu, Eiden realizes it with the language and voice again, not eyes.
Howling Cyclone- when Garu suddenly takes over with no one around, the text narration only says "the wolf yokai closes and opens his eyes before dashing..." No mention of eye color and this time its from the third person text narration, rather than Eiden or any other character's POV.
Misty Vale- when the young wolves encounter Karu, they don't realize that Garu has switched until Karu announces to call him that. At the very end of the MV event when Garu declines joining the wolves, Eiden pats his head only to realize that its Karu due to his reaction.
Binary Starlight- no mention of eye color, but the modeling people, store owners, and Karu's fans, only refer to him as Karu or Mr Wolf Yokai, including when it's Garu taking Karu's place during the competition announcements.
Desert of Dusk- no one realizes when its Garu and when it's Karu
Some people might have noticed this by now, but Garu's ally units all have blue eyes in their sprites. But when you're actually battling, OG SSR/SR/R/N are all Karu voice lines. HC & EG Garu seem to have more Garu battle voice lines than Karu voice lines. I don't have all of them, so if anyone is willing to help me look into EB and FF Garu, please do! In a cool meta way, the fact that the sprites have blue eyes yet its Karu's voice coming out, indicates to me that Karu's eyes are probably blue.
And lastly- have you noticed Garu's battle loading screen pose, OG loading homepage, Bliss promotional pic with everyone's OG poses + new Dante/Blade/Rei, and Garu's sprite in the opening animated sequence? He's manspreading and has an angry face. Yes, we've seen Garu angry a number of times, but in the new loading homepage with Rei and Dante, Garu is smiling and Garu's angry face is usually still quite cute. I think the OG version is Karu and he has blue eyes there.
B) Karu Fronting Units
Ok so slightly following up from that last bit. I had a idea once, where it would've been cool for Karu to front in the offensive/defensive units, such as strikers and guardians, and Garu to front in the supportive units, such as buffers and healers. Especially since the battle voice lines already do that (see point above). This would be extra cool cause it lines up with their lore/personalities and DID system. Karu is the protector alter, doing a lot of the Dead Zone surviving, and it'd make sense for him to do offensive/defensive battle units.
But also- Binary Starlight Garu should have totally been Karu fronting. Frozen Echoes, while Garu is onscreen more often, is about Karu wanting to sing and then getting kidnapped. But more importantly, the intimacy stories are about Karu's modeling competition. He's also a striker and, as mentioned, I thought it would be cool to have Karu being the strikers.
Endless Banquet Garu probably would have been nice to be a Karu unit because part of it is about Karu wanting to go to the yokai festival, but it was also Garu's 1st event SSR, so it makes sense that he wouldn't be.
So here's to me sending out into the universe that we get a future Karu main event SSR. He's still missing a saboteur and I can see a saboteur going either Garu or Karu.
C) In Defense of Sexy Garu/Karu
People's biggest problem with Garu is usually how young he looks and acts. You are not wrong if you are uncomfortable with Garu/Karu being sexualized! That is totally valid! This section is not for you. This section is for ignorant haters. (Garu/Karu are just fictional characters so I don't think too defensively on this so I won't be offended if you still do.)
First up- Garu/Karu is not a shota. Shotacon is defined as underage/prepubescent/pubescent boys in an erotic/sexualized manner. And yes there are muscle shotas. But Garu is not one of them. Depending on the lore, Garu is 19-33+ (possibly older, see that other post where I calculated his possible age) and he has a young adult proportioned body. However, he has a major babyface and acts puppylike/borderline childlike and does appear younger than the rest of the cast. So it's possible that he's shota-adjacent and I can see why people think he'd be the "1000 year old loli/shota" characters.
Next- puppy play! Have you heard of animal roleplay and specifically leather puppies? Have you met someone whose done puppyplay? Seems an awful lot like Garu right? You'd be right! I'm more of a handler, but a lot (though not all) of the (western) puppy players I know go into a (dumbed down) puppy headspace, act hyper, head scratches, play fetch, bark, treats, and "treats". (Naturally, IA studio is writing from the Asian perspective so the scene might be different there & they probably didn't consult any puppy players anyways, but there's no set "rules".) Sound familiar?
I'm like 99% sure Garu/Karu is supposed to represent puppy play, not shotas. There's a reason the most common imagery of a leather puppy is a pup hood, some kind of gag, collar, chest harness, jockstrap, butt plug tail, and leather boots. Also sound familiar? It's very close to OG SSR and SR Garu, and when the devs gave BS Garu a jockstrap, that sealed the deal. Same with when they made Garu/Karu an omega in the A/B/O event.
Now that we agreed that Garu/Karu is puppy play and not shotacon, one common factor amongst puppyplayers is the sexycute factor. As in, the puppy could be acting cute and affectionate and puppylike while getting fucked. Head scratches while doing a blowjob. And so on. NU Carnival characters fill a variety of sexy roles and while we have 2 other yokai, Garu is the one that fills the puppy play role. He's not a furry, but he's the closest thing for those who are into it. And of course, he (and Kuya) are the token kemonomimi. I'd argue that Garu is actually more human that most puppies I've seen/played with since he is primarily bipedal and talks fully in a human language.
So yeah its fine to sexualize them because of the sexy archetype they fulfill!
D) Leroy and Garu Conspiracy
So this is a wild and possibly impossible conspiracy theory. At the end of Gambler's Paradise, we get a scene between Aster and Rei talking about a mysterious "that group". In ch 13, Rei tells us that Council of Sorcery is trying to replace the need for Huey's essence. Throughout Gambler's Paradise, we find out that Leroy is a recent imperfect familiar that was a result of experiments with Huey's essence. Throughout Misty Vale and Ch 13, we get hints that Garu might have been experimented on by the Council long ago.
So my conspiracy theory is that both Leroy and Garu were experimented on by the same Council of Sorcery, even if they were from different departments. Garu was possibly more than a decade or several decades ago and Leroy was within the past couple months or year cause he didn't start causing chaos in Aster's casinos until recently. This means that either there are different departments focusing on different experiments, but also totally possible that back then, they were experimenting on removing Huey's essence and now they're working on replicating Huey's essence.
Bonus weird similarity between Garu, Leroy, and Morvay- they all really REALLY like eating their choice of preferred food, and get hungry very easily. (Ok Garu technically might be super hungry cause he had very little food for many many years, but still)
HMMMMMM LORE MIC DROP.
E) Update to Rei is Gramps/Garu/Karu backstory
Here I theorized that Rei might be Gramps and other people have theorized or drawn fanart of this too. HOWEVER, Howling Cyclone does have a major problem in that we see Gramp's ghost.
What i propose to fix this: we don't know when ch13 or Eerie Escapade happened and realistically it's probably because Rei wasn't created as a character yet. But I can explain this lore away with saying even if Rei died "long ago", we dont know when he was reborn. And hey, maybe for all we know, the Gramps ghost was actually Father, realizing that even if Garu has Eiden, Karu could use some more support and decided to go revive Rei. :shrug: Or maybe they'll retcon the Howling Cyclone ghost like they retconned Aster's dick.
F) Garu/Karu's ~Character Development~ (not H scene specific)
(Warning for rambling!) So in my post about whether or not Kuya has character development and if it's even necessary, I mentioned that Garu & Karu needed character development. In various replies (but not my post), one comparison I've brought up between Kuya and Garu/Karu(+Zuko) is the difference between slow gradual changes and the heroes journey. And I thought I'd elaborate on that some more.
To clarify on Kuya- he's over 200 years old and has been changing slowly over time since forever. He started the story already having changed over time and will probably not stop going through this kind of slow gradual change, simply due to the fact that time passes and he's immortal. And while Eiden plays a part in present day, overall Kuya is not having major story beats causing massive changes.
The cool thing about Nu Carnival's cast, as evidenced by Kuya, is that everyone is on different points of their ~character development~ and Garu/Karu is starting from their very beginning. Yakumo is also starting from the very beginning. Whereas someone like Dante, Olivine, and Edmond are already somewhere further down the adventure. Or they have a different kind of character development path like Kuya, Rei, and Blade.
Now for Garu/Karu. So the classic heroes journey is a story template where the protagonist gets a call to adventure, meets various character archetypes, endures many trials, and returns changed in some way. Obviously it's not a 1:1 matchup with Garu/Karu's story, but he does get a call to adventure (joining the clan), meets a mentor(the clan members), and is currently still enduring many trials. This is what I mean by he has a big "heroes journey development". And using this pattern, we can predict that Garu/Karu will continue enduring more tests, before encountering a major ordeal, conquering it, returning back a changed man.
Now why is Garu, or more specifically, Karu's character development important or necessary? Much like how Yakumo started out his heroes journey as a "newbie", Garu and especially Karu start out as "newbies", with limited empowerment, not that many skills yet, MANY basic things to learn (and amnesia, or at least Garu has amnesia. Karu is debatable). Karu has big dreams, really big dreams, and while they're played for laughs, he absolutely sucks at those big dreams. He's either going to achieve those big dreams, change those big dreams, or lose his delusions of grandeur and that will be character development. His current stage in life, lack of power (and stamina lol), trauma, and unfortunate circumstances are preventing him from achieving those big dreams. Garu is more chill and mostly just wants to have Fun with his Master and help people where he can (including helping Karu). However, he also lacks power, is a newbie to things, and got that traumaTM that just causes him problems. Garu also kind of represents the coming of age plot- they may have gained basic survival skills in the Dead Zone & had no social skills, but have also started dabbling in learning and leadership in Forgotten Fruit, Eerie Escapade, and Misty Vale. He's slowly becoming braver. They also didn't know how to read before meeting Yakumo & Olivine, but now they can sort of write sentences!
As for their role in the story & how it ties in with character development. He's the cutesy comic relief like Blade or Topper, but also, as mentioned in my Kuya post, that they're a victim of the Gemstone plotTM. SPOILER TERRITORY. One major conflict that the plot is coming against in the main storyline is altars going haywire and the Council of Sorcery and Garu (and possibly Leroy) might be the key to solving this mystery. However, with his amnesia and limited empowerment, they can't really progress with it. Therefore, it is crucial for Garu/Karu to experience ~character development~ to move forward.
If you got this far, thanks for indulging in this longass analysis post on my favorite wolfboys to roll around in thinky thoughts. Possibly more to come as more ~lore~ is revealed.
Once again, I haven't played every event or intimacy room, so if you've got answers to my questions or additional contributions, please lemme know!

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.

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.

Okay so, I don't know how many of my followers read the webcomic "Erma", but I figured I'd just mention this little theory of mine:
Half of what makes Erma so weird is that she's half yokai.
The other half of what makes her weird is that she's autistic.
In the third strip of Erma #1 (titled "How Rude"), we see Erma shriek after her classmates start arguing around her. Watching her facial expressions shows her getting more uncomfortable than mad, with her gripping her head before doing her horror movie monster shriek.
The next time we see Erma do this is when her cousin, Emily, is visiting in "Episode" 105: "Latched". In response to Emily's boundless energy being a bit more than Erma can keep up with, our protagonist gets increasingly frazzled (not even angry, just overwhelmed), until she finally repeats the same shriek she hadn't done since the start of the series.
In both cases, while she might also be angry, the shriek seems to be more of a response to her being overwhelmed by sensations that she's experiencing too quickly to process, and experiencing a (more or less completely involuntary) meltdown in response. Heck, her Super Powered Evil Side is triggered by sensory overload induced by the voices of hundreds (if not thousands) of damned souls inside the jubokko (that creepy tree with all the skulls), which could imply that the red eyes have less to do with her being ANGRY (although that is a factor) and more to do with her being in extreme pain from too many overlapping voices at once.
There's also the fact that she doesn't always seem to have the best reading on other people's tones, as seen in the "Secrets" arc, where Felicia's playful teasing ends up upsetting her just as much as Widdle Wallace's genuinely malicious taunts.
There's also the fact that Erma, in spite of enjoying playing the horror movie monster, REALLY seems to dislike sudden loud noises, as seen when her parents are watching football together and Erma's reaction to them yelling at the refs through the screen is to huddle up in the corner of the room.
Also, while Erma is a kind and genuinely compassionate little girl, she doesn't always have the best read of other people's feelings, as seen by the fact that she doesn't seem to realize that her teacher is absolutely TERRIFIED of her. Or how she doesn't realize how removing her own head as part of a freestyle dance could horrify all the onlookers who are NOT used to her antics. As seen by her reaction to the aftermath of her (completely involuntary) rampage at the end of the Night Parade Arc: while she may enjoy scaring people, she doesn't want to traumatize them! So it's entirely likely that she just straight up doesn't realize how badly she's scared her homeroom teacher, and would probably be DEEPLY upset if she realized it.
Finally, there's the fact that we have yet to "hear" her speak. While we know she CAN talk, thanks to other characters, the fact is that she seems to be extremely nonverbal, preferring to let her actions (body language, gestures, and facial expressions) do the talking for her. While the decision to never have her speak on page may have been to just take a horror movie monster trope and play it for cuteness instead of horror, I am still gonna take it as evidence because everything else fits pretty well.

of sticks and. dunno. robots, probably
(click read more to get an essay about how jinpei jiba is a gay catboy actually)
PREV
NEXT
she's just there quietly fiddling with a grenade. as most teenage girls do
maybe i was that okay with jibanyan dying because jinpei dies a lot, too
see? just an average tuesday for him
and you might ask. "out of all your y gakuen screenshots, how many are of jinpei?" and i will not reply. but let's just say he gets reeeeeeeally cute by the end of the series
i don't know what about "furfest over there" is so funny to me. i wrote it. it shouldn't be that funny. sadly, if someone knows i'm the funniest motherfucker alive, that's me
when i was little, they sold this neat little fork that spun, to eat spaghetti in an easier way. i remember you had to buy three packs, but we wanted one for my brother too, so we had a lot of pasta for lunch that month...
... why am i telling you this?
... again.
jinpei's fate is to keep dying. like in a time loop, but he saves himself somehow with his catboy whimsy
... i say, as if i don't squee every time i see a noko when i play yokai watch
oh, i get it! longcat!
THIS was the scene that made "jinpei has comphet" from a joke to an actual theory, LIKE. he's looking at it because it's a book to solve love problems (even though it has a enra photos too?), and he feels guilty because it was his fault emma turned into a snake. he doesn't even care that she likes him, as shown here:
and he has ZERO INTEREST in girls his age. not even kuka (we'll. we'll get to that) who is apparently so beautiful it's distracting boys and they cannot perform well academincally, gets a reaction out of him.
the girls he likes tend to be motherly. enra is a nurse, lana is. basically raimu's mom lol
the only exception are the cashier lady and the girl from the first episode, but it's likely that he just thought the girl was cool and with the cashier lady, he was just imitating the cashier dude.
also, he rarely gets flustered when enra is actually interacting with the club. i remember this one time enra complimented him and jinpei just laughed playfully. that was it. he blushes sometimes when matarou compliments him, though!
his deal with matarou is also clearly a crush, the moment he leaves the school he misses him and wants to summon him back, and when he was about to sacrifice himself, jinpei clung to him because he didn't want him to go, and it's the first time jinpei cried in a serious manner. because he didn't want him to go.
THEN THERE'S RAIMU. he became so obsessed with being his friend even though he only met him for like 10 minutes, since they got along almost instantly. raimu kept being all "i don't want friends. i don't NEED friends i am a being of darkness and destruction and also both jesus and the antichrist" and jinpei kept being so stubborn for no actual reason, he just. really likes raimu
anyways i think jinpei is jingay and his comphet stems from lacking a mother figure.
reading him like this makes this series both more frustrating and more enjoyable to watch, actually.
this would later consume my brain for 3 years, actually

ROTTMNT theory time :)))
Spoilers for the entire series + movie
This is pure speculation and fun, and will only be supported by the lore of ROTTMNT not any other show.
So basically I’ve been trying to figure out how these badass overpowered mystic powers work because it’s more confusing than any fandom lore I’ve read so here’s a theory about that + a little more thoughts on mystic powers as a whole
One big point before I go all out on this theory, anyone can have mystic powers. They can be human, mutant, yokai, even the Kraang, all living beings can harness mystic powers with the correct training. This is slightly proven by Warren Stone being able to use an mystic stone without problems, April and Cassandra being able to use Aprils mystic Bat, and when April gets hamato ghost possessed by Karai.
So let’s get on with the main theory.
In the final episode, “Rise” Big Mama reveals something crucial to the show as a whole that the fandom didn’t really know about(due to the second season being hard to watch). When the turtles need her help to find out where Shredder has taken Splinter and Draxum, she says
“To harness a life force you would need the source of all yokai power, enperian”
Then when Shredder finds this ‘enperian’ it’s revealed that it came from a single Kraang who died either in battle or from crashing into the Crying Titan
From what we can concur, the Yokai (from Big mama be know “We yokai have existed for thousands of eons”) must have evolved from the blood/engine fuel from the dead Kraang. This being the very source of all mystic magic, but than what is Ninpo? I believe it’s just an technique that the Hamato clan learned to fight the Shredder. (Similar to demon slayer, how humans have found ways to defeat demons with ancient arts if you need a comparison)
Another point about mystic magic, is that it cant directly be accessed without unlocking it. I think weapons at the beginning of the series are more like a catalyst for the turtles to harness their inner power.
The weapons only unlock a small part of the turtles real power, such as Leo’s portals becoming twin katanas that teleport wherever the other is, Mikey’s “wip”becoming nunchucks that can extend and light on fire, and Raphs force fields becoming a lot bigger and durable. We’ll talk Donnie in a minute because he’s a special case. But thanks to the mystic weapons the turtles learn and adapt to their powers and train themselves around them.
“What about you, Donnie? Don’t you want a glow-y weapon?”
“No, I’m good. I’ll never let you go.”
It’s made clear from the first episode Donnie is the most reluctant about “mystic magic.”
Even if he’s against the emphasis on mystic magic, he doesn’t try and stop it entirely, he more try’s to find a way to make sense of it. In the episode “Donnie vs Witchtown” (or Hidden City Adventures II) he’s very adamant on being against the whole idea of something he can’t explain.
“Because, I’m the Science Guy! If mystic powers can do everything I can do but better, than why would you guys even need me?”
The whole “being insecure about your role on the team thanks to something that you can’t avoid” might have been dragged out a bit more in the series(if a certain company didn’t cut the second season in half and postponed the show). But Donnie being insecure, is the driving reason his mystic powers were so delayed. It’s hard for Donnie to accept mystic magic but when he finally does his powers start to awaken.
So these powers are awaken through acceptance, possible training, and a catalyst for those powers? Not exactly, but you’re on the right track.
We have to look in the future to understand how to trigger these powers. It’s seen in the first few minutes of the ROTTMNT movie how powerful F!Mikey mystic powers have grown. Even Casey Jr. awes at his powers and through his description of F!Mikey we know he was incredibly powerful.
“You are the most powerful mystic warrior the world has ever known. With those two hands, you send me back in time”
F!Mikey is even foreshadowed in the first episode of the show. When the turtles lose April after she tried to save Mayhem, it’s Mikey who recognizes the hidden city symbol from splinters “do not touch shelf”
“Oh, hey! I’ve seen this before! In fact, we all have.”
It’s Mikey who assessed the portal to the hidden city
"How about we let the artist of the crew take a poke at it?"
And Mikey is the first of the turtles to awaken his weapon the ‘Kusari-fundo Nunchaku.’
"Whoa. Magic weapon”
That begs the question, why exactly is it Mikey who’s the Badass mystic warrior? Why couldn’t it be Donnie or Raph, maybe even Leo? What separates Mikey from his brothers that makes him so powerful in the future?
Out of all his brothers Mikey does have one big attribute that his brothers all lack in, his ability to be vulnerable, and being in touch with his emotions. His biggest strength and weakness is his empathy and emotional intelligence, unlike his brothers whom are very dishonest with their emotions and problems. It’s seen thought the show his emotions and feelings land him into difficult circumstances and often get him in trouble without one of his brothers to to stop him from getting hurt.
“Look, Mikey, repo men have to be mean, and I don’t know if you know this, but you’re kind of a softie."
"That really hurts my feelings! Oh, you have a point. But I can do this. Hard as nails.”
“I heard something.”
“A model train. Simple answer.”
So with his more open mind and emotional vulnerability his mystic powers grew. This could also support the real reason Donnie could really use his powers. He’s the most emotionally distant of the brothers, being so uneducated on them he doesn’t know some of the basic emotions that people feel.
So in conclusion, mystic powers come from a lot of different things. They can be awaken though the acceptance that magic truly exists. They can be harnessed through a catalyst that enables the user control over them. And the thing that triggers and fuels them are emotions. Plus spending years training them will result in you basically becoming Dr. Strange.
Yes very confusing but if you want more evidence then you can just watch season 1 and the movie and pay attention to their mystic powers.
But that’s just a theory, a Rise theory!

Pimon theory spin-off episode in courtesy of something @huntersmoon1 brought up
(Chap 17-19 spoilers!!)
So this was a good point brought up by Huntersmoon, and today, I am going to theorize possible ages for the other Thames members (and some other stuff about them)
Björn
So for Bjorn, I’ll take his height, his personality and his alcohol tolerance into consideration.
Bjorn is 100% the tallest of the group, is rude and kinda egotistical, and has been seen chugging alcohol like a madman in 2 panels (Yokai watch Shutendoji must be smuckers levels of jelly at this mf rn)
Taking this into consideration, I’ll assume Bjorn is around 100-190 years old.
Also, little fun fact:
I tried translating Björns name with the Google translate detect language feature, and the result was “Bear” in Icelandic. So yea, Bjorn is from Iceland???
Alaric
So for Alaric, I’ll take into consideration his appearance, personality, and this one insult hummer shot at him in Chap 18 cuz why tf not?
This was the insult btw
So given Alaric seems like he’s in his late 20’s - early 30s, seemingly has a lot of experience in weaponry, and the forest fire of an insult Hummer said in Chap 18, let’s assume Alaric is about 100-130.
Morton
Okay, I’m not even gonna give an explanation, he’s definitely like 90-120 at MOST.
Hummer
Okay, I think we can all agree he’s probably the youngest of the group, so he’s probably about 80-100 at least.
AND THATS IT FOLKS, SEE YALL NEXT MONTH IF I DONT MISERABLY FUCK UP MY GRADES 😎
#Björn JTR Jikenbo#Alaric JTR Jikenbo#Morton JTR Jikenbo#Hummer JTR Jikenbo#not tagging this as an official Pimon theory post cuz there is no Pimon
