You know what time it is... Carlvard headcanon time!!
I had to do Carlvard next, they're taking over my brain. Living rent free in my mind (ignore the fact it took long to post this I forgor).
They met at college because they were in the same class. Carl was intrigued by Harvard in a sense. One day he saw him in the hallway and started staring unknowingly. Harvard noticed this and called him out. Carl got incredibly flustered, especially with Harvard's intimidating stare. However, as soon as Harvard saw him, he realized Carl wasn't a threat.
They eventually became study mates, going to cafes together and visiting each other's dorms.
They rented an apartment together after college cause Broadstone be expensive as hell (just like NYC irl frfr).
Carl developed feelings first while Harvard developed them later.
Carl calls Harvard "Harvey" as a nickname (only Carl is allowed to call her that, if anyone else does, she will glare at you).
Harvard will call Carl pet names in Spanish and Italian like "bonito" and "bello."
The matching pendants are actually friendship charms Carl bought for them in college! As their relationship develops, it becomes more like wedding rings lmao.
Carl worries about Harvard a lot and is afraid that she'll let her truama consume her.
Harvard also worries about Carl and his lack of self-confidence, he's just bad at expressing it openly.
Surprisingly Harvard likes being the little spoon while cuddling.
Harvard's love language is physical affection (giving) and acts of service (both giving and receiving). Carl's is also physical affection (giving) and words of affirmation (receiving).
Harvard is extremely touch starved while Carl is the most cuddly person ever.
Sometimes Carl will do Harvard's makeup if Harvard feels too tired to do it. He also fixes her hair sometimes.
Harvard's first relationship was with Carl while Carl has dated other people in the past.
When grocery shopping, sometimes Harvard would wordlessly put a six pack of beer into the shopping cart and Carl would have to pay with his ID (for context, the drinking age in America is 21, so Carl can legally drink, but not Harvard lol).
Speaking of alcohol, Harvard would get very touchy when drunk and be a lot more emotionally vulnerable. Carl tries not to get too drunk that often because when he does he gets wired asf and does stupid shit.
Carl would sometimes make Harvard breakfast in bed to practice his culinary skills (when they actually have the time off to sleep in late.)
Carl often comforts Harvard after nightmares. Harvard tried to play it off at first, but Carl wasn't having it cause empath brain sensed something was wrong.
Harvard likes when Carl scratches behind his ear and pets his hair (like a cat!)
They compliment each other's flaws. Harvard reminds Carl to have more confidence while Carl reminds Harvard that it's ok to be vulnerable about your feelings.
They didn't really have a confession per say. Their relationship just kinda slow burned into romantic one.
They didn't really confirm they were dating until after their first kiss.
Carl: "Does this mean we're dating now?"
Harvard: "Carl, I think we've been dating."
Due to Carl's jealousy issues, he would sometimes get a little possessive— NOT TO A TOXIC DEGREE THOUGH!!! If he senses someone trying to flirt with Harvard he'd come by quickly and interrupt join the conversation or subtly grab Harvard by the waist and pull him closer while side-eyeing the other person. Harvard never says anything about it though because he kinda likes it.
Harvard would sometimes jokingly call Carl his "sugar daddy" cause he's rich. Carl hates when he does this (I only now just had this headcanon cause of fanfiction. Thanks fanfiction!!👍)
That's it's for now! Again, sorry this took a while to post, I can't remember shit for the life of me lol. If I remember I might do Zhang or Manimani headcanons next.

He'd probably hate it at first and only use it as means to fuel his revenge, but after the story (when he gets therapy) he'll begin to celebrate in her honor.
I like to think Carl would be the one to help him accept her death and make Mothers Day a day worth celebrating rather than resenting.
how do yall think harvard celebrates mothers day
does he js live like its any other day or would he honor his mother’s memory/visit her grave?

it is so incredibly sad to constantly see kids on instagram and tiktok who are younger than my brother have to literally beg for shelter, food, water, medicine, and their right to exist as human beings
i mean, this young girl is only ten years old, yet she is essentially responsible for convincing random people scrolling through instagram that her and her family’s life are worth fighting for
on top of that, their gofundme is not even 10% funded and time is running out, please if you can’t donate, just share
please don’t let this little girl die begging

If the time loop theory is true, he'd probably still be made of blood because the Decasim coded him that way. Also forgot to mention that when he's doing the investigation board, it scans his eye before entering the Thinking Vision, which is just a random blue void. I thought it was a cool visualization at first, but there may be more to it.
Tbh I don't really think the Clown would be Harvard's mom, but it's definitely possible considering it's Level 5.
THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT I PLANNED!! In the DLC, Harvard would be doing his own investigations into the matter because he's not one to sit there and do nothing. The BPD wonder the whole time if it's actually Harvard, but they cant let the LAPD know cause they think he's dead. At the end Harvard intervened in a climatic moment and everyone is all like "Holy shit, Harvard!!!" And the leader of the LAPD is just standing there confused the whole time.
anyone got any headcanons/ theories?

Late to this, but:
Decaism Time Loop Theory
The real world is actually another version of Decaism- like a virtual world in a virtual world. Either that or they're in one Decaism that keeps resetting itself. I think it would be a very fitting parallel to the theme of revenge and they would literally be in a cycle of revenge. Kinda goes along with your theory of the hacker trying to merge the real world and the Decaism as well because the real world would also just made of code.
If you want to add a psychological horror element, you can add a Kagerou Daze level of fuckery and have all the resets end in death and tragedy.
Harvard is an Android
Harvard could be an android (or, if you want to refer to the previous theory, made of code). Harvard Marks is actually a name of one of those old-timey computers which could just be fun reference and refer to how intelligent he is, but it could also be literal.
The Diamond Pendant Is VERY important
I already thought this before because Harvard and Carl, the main characters, are the only two that wear that specific diamond. It's also literally the loading screen icon in the game.
The Clown is Harvard
This sounds crazy, but if we take the time-loop theory into consideration, it's actually possible. Clown could have originally been a different person unrelated to Harvard, but because he seeks revenge, he starts the time loop and invertedly becomes clown in the process.
The Clown is Harvard's Mom
I don't have much for this other than the fact clown has feminine features and that it's very level 5 for a character to fake their death. Also the potential angst of the criminal Harvard was going after being his own mother would be CRAZY.
Harvard Goes Under Witness Protection
This is more of a post-game/DLC idea I have, but I like to think after the whole clown shebang is over, Harvard has to go under witness protection because there's a mysterious entity after him. Haven't figured out all the details, but basically, one day after work he gets shot and he's presumed dead at the hospital. Turns out he is alive but because of witness protection, it's best for everyone to assume he's dead. Only the BPD know this and they have to pretend their friend is dead for like a year. With Harvard out of the picture, Carl becomes the main character and leader of the BPD for the DLC.
On the topic of DLC, the BPD will also be able to travel to LA because one of the cases they're working on also involves the LAPD (yes they're just a bunch of OCs I made up 😭).
Small headcanons/ideas I have:
There's a side quest involving a circus and they have to investigate a criminal clown possie. Spoilers: Harvard is not having a good time (he's clown phobic 😭)
There's a famous actress who came to Broadstone for filming. However there was a murder on set and ends up being one of the prime suspects despite. However she insists that she didn't do it. BPD have to solve the case to find the true criminal. On a side note, the BPD likes to comment how she kinda looks like Harvard to tease him and Harvard hates it.
The yellow haired girl is a vigilante (I know it's not likely, but I really want her to be a vigilante). She's against the police and wants to find Clown for killing her father. Her name is either Standford or Yale. She's ideologically opposed to Harvard but I'd similar to him at the same time. They have a rival dynamic going on and she agrees to help the BPD with the clown case later in the story.
I want there to be these flashbacks scenes in the game of Harvard's child hood that end up being these mini psychological horror segments where everything seems fine, but something is off (think of Omori or DDLC).
anyone got any headcanons/ theories?

Ok ok, I'm NOT defending their use of AI art, BUT I did wanna clarify some things and go into specifics.
Very important: THE PORTRAITS OF KEITA/NATE ARE ONLY USED AS EXAMPLES!!! This was done as a presentation at Cdec Kyushu, a gaming/entertainment conference. They were only showing off how AI could help them develop art style concepts. They are NOT using any of these portraits!
A lot of the assets are place holders. Example: the they are using AI voices, WITH PERMISSION OF THE VOICE ACTORS, as placeholders in battle dialogue until the can get the ACTUAL voice actors to record the final lines.
The stabilized diffusion model... I'm not defending that... There is an example of them using this for the background of this drawing:
Tumblr media
They could've just made a bunch of blobs honestly... :/
Similarly, they use AI as planning for concept art. This... I don't really know how to feel about this cause the artist job is to you know. Thumbnail. Maybe this is to just get over art block, but I will say, the title screen for Megaton Musashi X and W don't even compare to the first one.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In order: MegaMusa X, W, and then original title screen.
Now for the MOST concerning out of all of these is using Chat GBT for side quest ideas. Presumably, this is for Decapolice. Granted, they aren't using it to create the script or anything, just to get names and stats, but it's still concerning as hell. The whole advertising of Decapolice was that it's an open world where you can go around and solve a bunch of mysteries, but it kinda shows you don't care about the side quests when you use Chat GBT to generate a concept. If they're doing this, I really hope they only use it when they're running out of ideas rather than using this for ALL the quests by default. I don't wanna wait till 2026 just to play AI slob.
So overall, there are definitely some valid concerns with this. I'm not trying to defend them, but I wanted to clarify things at least to avoid unnecessary fear mongering.
Again I'm NOT defending AI art- it makes me sad to see them doing this with concept art and side quests, but I just wanted to talk about the specifics.
Honestly I don't get why they even need to do AI art? They LITERALLY have a freelance artist program and they could just like idk. Hire more artists. Heck, they even had a program back in the day for Fantasy Life where they let stay at home moms create 3D models for them. Like come on bro, you can do better!
Darts does a pretty good job of breaking this information down on his Twitter:
https://twitter.com/DartsEnthusiast
And here's the original website with all the information:
chat, is this real? (god i wish it wasn't.)
so uh. according to this thread its very possible that Level-5 is using ai art. thats fucking fantastic. thanks guys. definitely not a spit in the face to your fans who've loved you for years for your unique art direction. no. not at all :) /VERY SAR
Tumblr media
it doesn't matter if they're "just using it for concept art" or whatever. they're still using it and its fucking gross. As a Yo-Kai Watch fan of almost 10 years now, I am truly disgusted. I hope they recall this decision and go back to using exclusively real artists, or they'll lose a lot of fans (including myself, which would break my heart. I love Level-5 games to death.)
I'm still most likely going to buy Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road and Decapolice when they come out, because most likely if the use of AI in scriptwriting/sidequests is real those will be rewritten in the English localization by actual people. Still doesn't change the concept art thing but i've been hyped for these games for too long to let that ruin it. If it goes any further than that tho, i'm probably going to tap out. Which sucks so much.
This is lazy at best and downright harmful to real artists at worst.
also why would you want it to look more like the anime bro the yo-kai watch anime was ass. thats just me tho askjfhakjhfkjafk

Ok wait I have answers/things to say for some of these:
2) It's stated the Decaism takes place around 12 years in the past. Idk if that was referring to the jewel robbery case specifically or if they even try to update it.
3) I'm calling it, Harvard rouge moment in which you have to battle him and he becomes a crime beast and u have to arrest him for a crime that he didn't commit.
5) I feel like they're gonna do this with Harvard seeing his younger self in Decasim.
6) It's possible that the pain leaves once u log out of Decaism, but if the whole Decaism x reality mix up becomes a plot point, that might change.
7) The scene with Harvard's mother's death, u can actually see it's in a hallway of some suburban house, so it's likely that Harvard walked into his house and saw her. I'm pretty sure we're getting flashback scenes too. As in playable flashback sequences... Maybe...
8) In the original it was also a shared HP bar, the difference was it was split between pairs, but they changed it to be shared by everyone to make it easier probably.
9) Can't read the kanji, but the UI displaying the evidence at the side in red text says "Gaado Horando" (Gaurd Holland or Gaud Holland?) Cause of the name I doubt it's Harvard's father, but there is a pattern I'm noticing with the cases and how small details foreshadow the main story (I might make a post about it idk).
10) Strong believer in the pendent being a friendship charm between Carl and Harvard. But the pendants seem to have more importance outside of that (there's an emphasis on jewelry and the loading screen icon is a blue diamond). Also the pendant the guy is wearing is different cause it has a metal border around it.
11) Mystery girl could either be an AI, detective from a different force or vigilante (I'm of the belief she's a vigilante).
14) Carl as a teddy bear doesn't have a shirt either (also missing the diamond pendant suspiciously)
19) The translated demo reveals that the Decaism is made up by surveillance footage as well as personal info gathered by the government and put into an AI. It probably wasn't used for anything good...
decapolice thoughts pt2
the trailers rlly hint that decasim is more than just a virtual reality used for training, calling it a “living embodiment of reality” and a second world
do they have to update decasim everyday or so, cause how would it know the details of a case that happened yesterday. if thats true, then i won’t be surprised if there are cases where we have to find clues in the real world, before being able to use decasim
the website states that crime beats are just embodiments of malice, not specifically criminal malice. so is it possible for non-criminals to become a crime beast?
if so, can it only happen to npcs or can it happened if you’re playing.
could you meet yourself in decasim if you were near the crime scene? people in it seem to be able to interact normally, so how would a conversation w/ urself go?
do injuries carry on from decasim? carl seemed to be somewhat hurt from getting punched, so do you feel the pain in the real world
how did harvard witness his mother dying?? in the trailers she seemed to be dead backstage in a circus or theater, so did he just stumble across her dead while there? was she missing and followed the police to her body??
i wonder why they changed it so that instead of everyone having there own health bar, they now share one. maybe that’ll change once we’re done training and we’re actually solving cases
Tumblr media
9. why does this dude look like he’s harvards father? same eye color, hair color, and both have the diamond pendant and red stripe on their shirt..
10. speaking of the pendant, what is it?? it’s not uniform since manimani, zhang, and mikey don’t wear it, and (other than that guy) harvard and carl seem to be the only people w/ diamond shaped ones.
11. the random girl in the old trailers (i can’t find a good photo of her), who is she? i feel like she’s ai, especially since she was supposed to be support
12. when they all turn into animals, how did they seemingly pass out if it’s just vr?
13. how are they able to tell who committed the crime in decasim if they all look like toys? unless the person reveals their name while getting info, idk how you would be able to tell who’s who.
14. why is cat harvard the only one w/o a shirt?
15. if they were to be given virtual headsets that they can use outside of the police department, how would that work? like, if they move in decades, are they moving irl as well? there’s not much room to move inside the little pods, so i can’t imagine them having to move in them.
16. how do they control themselves in decasim?
17. if they’re able to go back in time to stop a crime in decasim and they know the date and location it was at, couldn’t they just look at that exact point and witness the murder themselves?
18. who even created decasim
19. what was decasim used for before it was used for detective and behavioral training?
20. what do they gain by changing character data in decasim? other than making it harder to figure out identities, it doesn’t seem to do much harm (unless the crime beast thing is also because of it).
21. if you were held hostage in decasim, couldn’t you just log out and log back in
