Out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on the characters in death mark and do you have any headcanons for them?

Imma keep it to my faves cause there are so many! (Even then it’s hard I love a lot of them)

Mashita is a very fun gruff character and personally I totally believe he has a soft side for not only Yashiki but the kids too. Would totally complain about Moe hanging around but would get antsy and twice as grumpy with worry if she disappeared. He very much seems to be the I only care about a few people but I’d do anything for my people.

Believe it or not I think Daimon is so underrated! Is that personal bias? Of course! I love characters who look so tired and worn out they could pass out on the spot, it speaks to me. He definitely tries to get healthier too and I love that for him! Still be ‘do as I say not as I do vibes.’ Honestly would have loved more screen time with the doctor. He gives the vibes of someone who likes animals to but like has a minor cat allergy that will Not stop him.

Moe is very sweet!! Her vibes definitely help brighten up the game but she isn’t out of place. Love to think she gets along very well with Shou and if she met him I bet she could be good friends with the Akira trio.

Some quick ones!

Yashiki- love him! Again I love tired looking characters so a huge fav. He will never lock that door I’m sorry Mashita.

Shou- honestly took a bit to grow on me but I’m a fan now! Tough guy but actually a scaredy-cat is pretty classic. Definitely would try to be a big brother figure to anyone. He acts like he doesn’t but he wants to be so bad.

Yasuoka- I liked her a lot actually! I wasn’t a huge fan of Ai but Yasuoka? Love her! She’s probably so nosey but in that subtle way of older ladies.

#response!!#vinehasnohopeleft #I don’t think I hate any characters tbh #I do kinda wish we had more saya info but #leaves room for fannon I guess lol

[Magi reread] Night 29: Slave

Gdi, I really want to rewatch the Magnostadt Arc, like, you don't get it. I'm in the MOOD. But I promised myself to go more-or-less chronological. Like, it's one thing to kinda jump from one thing to another in some arc, but I want to rewatch the entire thing, gdi, Saya, why do we do that to ourselves.

I'd say speedrun Morgiana Arc, but it's not that much of a speedrun, plus I have a few thoughts.

But before that, I thought randomly about the Night 17, which is an almost-month timeskip. The timeskip where Alibaba does something pretty important, and Morgiana has some character development after a lifetime of being a slave, you know, some dealing with trauma... It didn't really ring a bell until a few days ago, when I was like. Wait. It's a trend. And ya bet I'll comment on the timeskips. But, man, it's already appeared so early!

I had to share this thought, now to the actual chapter.

All I wanted to point out that when Morgiana sensed something coming closer, she instinctively stopped this little girl. Imo cool characterization moment. Seemingly gently.

Yknow, for a kid in this situation, you're being very calm, little girl.

Nadja's from Balbadd! Still pretty cool that there's some of that info sprinkled here and there. Also, didn't Nadja mean Hope?

I checked, it does!

Totally random thought, I wonder if Nadja's supposed to be, like, a symbol of little Morgiana, yknow? Kinda cuz I noticed her side ponytail. And if that's the case, then tbh that's pretty cool, because this arc becomes a symbol of Morgiana saving herself. When she was little, there was nobody else to help her, but she's capable of it now.

Like I've said earlier, it's a damn good arc, but it's very isolated from others. Don't misunderstand me, it references stuff that'll come up in other arcs, but this specific arc won't be referenced much if at all later on. Which is a shame.

Kinda made me think how slavery isn't a thing in Balbadd, so maybe that's why she wasn't as freaked out. She genuinely doesn't understand what it means until Morgiana starts explaining it.

I am both curious, and at the same time, I'm not sure I want to know what Morgiana is saying.

Also, listen, I know I have a tendency to see mah boy everywhere, but I'm kind of wondering if it's the Same Face Syndrome or maybe it's just, like, how Balbadd people look. Seriously, Nadja reminds me a lot about Alibaba, when it comes to her face. It's also kinda cool, in general, bc Hope is also something associated with Alibaba and his Household. As in, according to the wiki, the name of all the spells there are a corruption of Amal, meaning hope.

Whoops.

Another thing I thoght abt is how... desensitized Morgiana feels. Tbh, I'm gonna guess she's dissociating a bit here, to focus on the situation at hand rather than get overwhelmed, which does sound like a defence mechanism she would've created under Jamil.

Mood.

But hey, the intentions are there.

Sad as shit, no surprises. But the fact that Morgiana sees herself in Nadja kinda pushes my "Nadja symbolises little Morgiana" agenda.

She's doing her best.

Same as before, she's trying.

Aaaand fake smile falls.

The next page is really sweet, but, like.

Did she kiss her forehead? ;;

Cat-vibe.

Nadja's sick & Fatima decided to get rid of her & I'm fairly certain this is the exact same thing that happened in SnB, like, disposing of a sick slave.

Aaaand there goes Nadja's sickness, I guess.

I wish Morgiana had more opportunities to emote so fucking much.

Finally. I have enough space in the post for Morgiana flashbacks.

I wish Magi characters had more opportunities to face their traumas. And also for that not to be timeskipped.

C minor, put it in C minor-

FRUITS BASKET S2 EPISODE 16 RECAP!

It’s currently 7am here and I haven’t had a wink of sleep cos of insomnia and a racing mind so why not recap a Fruits Basket episode? Yayyyy - madness... aha! This was a good one.

Let’s gooooo

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

Lol, ‘You might be wondering how I got in this situation’

- Tbh, I could see myself doing the same as Uo just out of frustration at the fact that I was so worked up over someone I only met twice. I feel you, Uo.

- It’s super sweet and brave of Tohru would go to Sohma house despite Akito just so she can find Kureno for her bestie! <3 Obviously, Tohru is automatically Best Girl of the episode. If not every episode, tee hee

AHHHHHH! I CANT HANDLE HOW ADORABLE MOMO IS. AND HER SPEECH PATTERNS! ALL THE KUDOS TO HER VA, SAYA TANAKA. I can’t believe I wanna adopt an anime character as my child.

And like Tohru... I am tears.

Ok, this episode made me really understand this ship like A LOT MORE. I am seeing with my third eye now, I get it... (A/N: I’m tired) Their relationship is so gentle and so sweet and while I still lean to the more familial perspective of it, I can definitely see the more romantic side of it more clearly.

Momiji’s Dad is kinda the most nuanced parent out of all of the zodiac parents. I feel like most of the parents are extremes of the opposite sides of the scale of parenting. But with Momiji’s Dad, you can tell he genuinely cares about Momiji and looks out for him and loves him as much as he can BUT... at the same time he’s also making a kinda selfish decision by choosing to move on without Momiji with his newly formed family.

Of course it’s not so simple as ‘he’s just being selfish’ considering Momiji’s Mum is still there with her memory loss of Momiji just wanting to create a family with her husband, but... there is a certain level of coldness there in how bad he wants to protect the secret.

Oooo, I do love parallels. Have I made it clear that I love parallels?

Tohru!... :(... Her breakdown was so out of nowhere but I love that there was enough info to decipher that Tohru’s still dealing with her grief but is torn because there are also other issues going on with the people she cares about so deeply that she is kinda overwhelmed by all the pain. And it was portrayed in such a delicate way, it was heartbreaking to watch.

And Momiji’s gentle way of trying to get Tohru to explain herself and calm down without you know... saying ‘calm down’ was perfect and heart warming and I love them!!!

- I can’t decide who gets Outfit Appreciation this week cos I really adore Momo’s outfit but I also really adore Momiji’s outfit. So, I’m gonna go with both cos their outfits kinda go together and if they can’t be together in the anime then they can be together in my stupid outfit ranking, haha. 4 stars.

- Aha, Tohru doing secret investigating in the most Tohru way was great. I love her!

Who... is that... it’s not Akito... so... does that mean it’s... her?

Shit.

Hahaha, oh Tohru. She’s really in top form this episode. 🤣

I LOVE the way this sentence is worded in contrast to how it is expressed. I feel like it perfectly captures both Uo AND Tohru’s view of Kureno at the same time. The soft hearted, goofiness of the tone of his voice mixed with the cool and collected wording of the sentence.

GOD FUCKIN’ DAMMIT, KYO.

Why do you have to be heartbreaking and so fuckin’ cool at the same time?! And Tohru’s crying in response to that?!?! Like her body is just unconciously screaming ‘NO’?!?!?!

I can’t stand these crazy kids. <3

A FAVOURITE KYORU MOMENT!

Can we just stop and appreciate how comfortable and close with each other these two are now in comparison to Season 1? And how the roof was originally Kyo’s place but it’s now turned into ‘their’ place? Can you believe this is the same Kyo that was super embarrassed about cooking porridge for Tohru in Season 1?!?!?! I just... I just... *sigh* <3

‘What do you wish for Kyo-kun?’ ‘For someone to stop crying’

...I must retire now. Perfect. *chef’s kiss*

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

See you next week!

Cardfight Vanguard G: Next turn 29 thoughts

Diffrider

There’s something interesting about the title. It is supposed to be read as “Diffrider”, however it is written with lots of kanji (and some hiragana), instead of the usual katakana. It’s not uncommon to see that in anime and manga. And the overall meaning is something like “Possession from another world”. That’s kinda what Different World Ride is all about.

Nice way to begin the episode with a beautiful piano melody. And we also get to take a look at Nome. Though, not much can be interpreted about him with only this scene...

His voice sounds familiar...*checks to see who is the VA* Tomokazu Sugita!? O_O Another big name joins the Vanguard cast. Just to give a few examples of his other roles: Joseph Joestar (Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure), Gundam Tanaka (Danganronpa), Karasuma (Ansatsu Kyoushitsu), Switch/Kazuyoshi Usui (Sket Dance), Gintoki (Gintama - haven’t watched that one yet but I know it’s very popular).

This episode sure is full of surprises. Didn’t expect to see Harmonics Messiah again. I mean, at the end of the movie, its card turned into Neon Messiah, so I’m a bit confused.

Leaving that aside, what it showed Ibuki is the main interest. Especially this:

That kinda looks like the Reverse energy thing. It is shown in Japan, so it’s most likely Shiranui.

Then Ibuki is woken up by Mamoru. Hmm, I’m thinking Mamoru might realize something is going on sooner or later.

Whoa O_O

I guess this picture was taken after Shiranui possessed Onimaru.

Pff Chrono exasperated that the investigation began because of a dream xD His reaction isn’t completely unreasonable though. And Aichi looks like he wants to calm him down, while Kamui tries not to laugh out loud xD Then Ibuki tells him to get down xD I wonder what Kai was tinkling about this situation.

Speaking of which, I re-watched the episode in Stride Gate in which Ibuki was driving with his broken arm and I realized that his car looked a lot different. So, this is most likely Kai’s car.

Back to the main topic, aside from convincing Chrono that it wasn’t a normal dream, we get some info on the Tatsunagi family. So Nome, the older brother, took over only recently and that because there were troubles during the last leader’s time. Yeah...things were indeed hectic when Takuto was around. But why did they wait so many years to change the leader? And usually the oldest sibling is the heir, so I’m guessing there was a reason why Takuto was made the leader instead.

Ok, Nome is a rather eccentric person, welcoming the guests with a party cracker, then he goes ahead and locks everyone in and turns a projector on.

I’m pretty sure the normal way is to tell the guests to take a sit, then bring some tea...

Trinity Dragon vs Kazuma and Taiyou xD The face Kazuma made when Tsuneto told them that the one with the most loses has to treat everyone to ramen is too hilarious.

Other than that, I’m glad that reminded us that team Striders got to participate in the U20 because they won against Trinity Dragon. And they put up a good challenge.

Now Chrono has to pay for ramen because he is skipping training xD That should turn out funny.

I’m confused as to why Kamui is kneeling down, but anyway.

This is the list with the qualified teams for the 2nd round. Since they are shown so clearly, thought I should present them all:

Team Diffrider

Team Toriaina/Triana (I have no idea what it could stand for...)

Boppin Rabbit (that’s kinda cute)

Team Baliastars (?)

Sheep's Head (what?)

Alpha Indy/Indi (I don’t know...)

Team Dead End

Team Moon...(sorry, I searched a lot, but I cannot find that last kanji and I don’t get why...)

Ribros (?)

Demise Neo

Tulip Group

Team Troika (?)

Rummy Labyrinth with Saya

Jaime Flowers

Fukuhara High School Vanguard Club

Striders

Sorry...I wished I could make it more accurate...But hope I managed to give a good idea of their names. Surely, most of them aren’t relevant, so it’s just “out of curiosity” kinda ting.

I think some of these were mentioned in past episodes, when the MC was speaking in the background. Also, the official spellings will most likely be revealed in the future for most of these.

But anyway, let’s go back to the main topic.

Ryuzu, what have you done...To think that the Different World Ride is an aftereffect of the Stride Gate. And the Void might be trying to use that. It’s not confirmed, but after seeing that black and red energy thing, I can’t think of something else.

So both sides need to agree for a Diffride. I guess that was the case for Miguel, Verno and Saori. And, it doesn’t seem like their original personality is completely gone. Or at least I hope so because Verno and Saori seemed interesting and I’d be disappointed if only their units are like that. However, Shiranui just went ahead and possessed Onimaru.

That should turn out interesting. The opening pretty much hints that Kazuma will find out about this (along with Shion and Tokoha) and most likely will want to bring his brother back and show him that he is over what happened in the past and how much he had improved over time. Who knows, maybe Onimaru (the real one, not Shiranui) himself felt guilty about Kazuma quitting.

I liked how Kamui compared the units to tourists xD Ok, I know he was being serious and slightly annoyed, but Nome’s answer just cracked me.

Kai’s reaction to hearing about Chaos Breaker was exactly as I expected. And the flashbacks from Link Joker started flowing in my mind...

So far, I like the contrast between Nome and Takuto. Takuto got involved in pretty much everything, but Nome is completely detached, as he is just an observer. I think he does have a good point.

I’d also like to point out the cards shown behind him: Chronojet Dragon, Altmile, Ahsha, Luard, Gurguit, Vanquisher, Gavrail, Battle Sister Madeleine, Scharhrot and Harri. So, Try3 plus their teams and Luna’s avatar. Ok...Nightrose at least should be there as well...I don’t know if I saw it right, but there seemed to be more cards, but Nome turned and his head might be blocking them. So, it might have been there.

I can’t let this episode pass without mentioning that Psyqualia is still around.

I was a bit disappointed that Kamui’s team didn’t make it to the 2nd round, but finding out that he didn’t want to pass in the first place makes me feel better. Hmm, I wonder how Emi and Nagisa took it.

Ibuki was basically telling him to go and enjoy the tournament, even with all this happening. Of course, when it’s time to act, he won’t be left out. He’s such a good guy.

First off, Tsuneto just declared Final Turn against Kazuma o_O Kina wanted to see how it will turn out, but then Chrono shows up and we do have a Chrono vs Kazuma match after all.

I like how Chrono said that the reason he wants to defeat Shiranui in the first place is to pay him back.

If they hadn’t shown the table a bit earlier and Kamui (who is still underage) wasn’t there, I would have thought they passed out because they got drunk. Or maybe Kai just defeated them one after another.

Knowing these people, they probably had fun and argued until they got tired xD

Speaking of Kai, he seems like he has something to do.

And there’s an Ibuki vs Aichi fight going on. I don’t really have anything to say about it.

Hmm, so Aichi will return to America and gather info. I don’t really see what’s the pint, considering that the Diffride occurred in Japan. Unless there are more people who experienced it. But he also wants to see the 2nd round, so the writers won’t get rid of him so quickly.

Since I watched the episode early in the morning, I thought I was half-asleep and still dreaming when this showed up. Even now, when it’s afternoon and I’m fully awake, I can’t believe Ibuki can make this kind of expression xD

This! This was my favorite part in the entire episode. I love this turn of events, with Kai helping Arata and Makoto to search for Noa. Of course, he has his own reasons because of what happened in the Link Joker arc and this is part of his redemption. But these two also have the right to know what happened to their teammate.

What made this moment even more special is that Kai, with his not so great social skills (I’m not one to talk though...) just went to them and said: Let’s go and search for Noa, while Arata and Makoto are just staring wide-eyed at him xD I bet they are thinking stuff like “What is Toshiki Kai from the Euro League doing here?”, “Why does he know about Noa?”

Hopefully, next week we get an expansion on this scene.

The preview showed a Try3 meeting and a bit of Verno vs Taiyou. That’s a fight I’m really looking forward to.

That "Chrono was overcome by tears of joy as he was holding his wallet" though xD Poor Chrono was still made to treat everyone to ramen.
