"Isami, I love you!"
-
(The signatures are supposed to be a joke in the sense that both Isami and Bravern hand wrote their own signatures, except that Isami's looks handwritten, meanwhile Braverns looks like a font because he can write VERY precise 😂😭)
I finally finished this drawing!

Since now we know Bravern is Lewis can we write some swap AUs with Isami in Lewis’ place dying and becoming… Superbia? And Lewis becoming the reserved mech’s pilot!!
Just imagine this AU’s Lulu pointing at Superbia while yelling “Isami! Isami!”
Bravern would take Superbia’s place as a Deathdrive (still keeping most of this canon personality)

bravern ep 11 spoilers below and a finale prediction:
THE BEACH SCENE???? THAT'S LIKE A FULL CONFIRMATION RIGHT?? like there was no room for 'ehehe wellllll they might be in love or they might just be suspiciously close fighting friends, it's up to your interpretation' there. oh my god. this fucking show.
also emotionally devastated by the ending and that we only have one more episode, but there's no way bravern is actually dead imo. bravern might be dead, but I don't think lewis is.
the metaphor of isami and bravern's love umbrella being washed away scared me at first, but I think there's going to be a twist where lewis' body is in bravern's head or something. therefore, bravern and isami's relationship died, but isami and lewis' will replace it, or something like that (coping desperately and furiously)

losing my fucking mind over bravern ep 11 and my usual victims are either not caught up or not off work in preparation for going to a tf convention like I am, so
ep 11 spoilers below the cut
I don't like to engage in serious speculation bc I don't know what the fuck is going to happen in this show (in a good way) and I don't want to work myself up for something that doesn't happen and end up feeling disappointed just bc a different great thing happened
but like we've got one episode left (? though *some* kind of announcement is coming on Monday in Hobby Japan magazine apparently) and one of our leads is dead again (again) and also I think it's fairly likely they fucked on the beach?? so some disorganized thoughts
WHO DREW THE AIAIGASA. BRAVERN'S FINGERS ARE TOO BIG or is that why bravern's name is too large to fit under the umbrella (which is especially funny bc bravern, too, is too large to fit under the umbrella but he would try) WAS IT ISAMI THIS IS CRUCIAL
they might not have had the campfire time in the bad end timeline bc they said that was partly bc superbia told them about the remaining deathdrives. but if they DID there wasn't anyone to interrupt them. so. at least they didn't die virgins (for the purposes of this joke bravern is a virgin bc he's only existed for a week)
does superbia know they fucked
it is kind of funny that lulu going back in time made things *worse* (or so it seems, I'm sure smith/bravern will be fine somehow) bc yeah they both died but at least they saved the world first. separate post about heroism in bravern being about the people you love and not about saving the world incoming tho (I am sure it will work out for the best but I just said elsewhere that at least bad end means they won't die! *LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER*)
we've had two time travels and you'd expect either one or three. and isami has been fairly passive narratively. is this when isami finally takes control of his own destiny and activates bravern's core to go back and fix (something)
there's a version of this story where he goes back and redoes the entire situation, smith never dies and never becomes bravern and accepts himself and his human limitations. and that could be good or bad but I don't personally think this is it
more importantly imo: HE NEEDS TO SAY IT BACK. if I was writing this that would be the key. he needs the courage to admit he loves bravern too. it's pretty obvious now (I mean. he was lying back with his arms up waiting to be kissed-and-more, bro was READY) but saying it is another thing entirely. If Smith realising his love created Bravern then Isami accepting his love can activate the core
smith/bravern constantly saying "yuuki bakuhatsu/brave bang" at death feels like it should mean more than just "title drop lol". first time it felt like "bro don't tell him how brave you are for blowing yourself up right as you die live on zoom" but the fact that he did it again? or maybe it's just that that's going to be what makes isami figure it out, like the curry was for lulu. but I want it to mean that isami, specifically, needs to explode his courage. hopefully not literally, but I think he needs to do something emotionally brave that he initiates
then again it might just be title drop lol bc I'm pretty sure some stuff is literally just there bc obari thinks it's cool and honestly if following his heart has gotten us this far then he's doing something right
there's enough of a hole in bravern's side for isami to climb back inside him and whatever happens next I hope he does. get in the robot boyfriend isami
bravern sounded more and more human when talking at the campfire. like he wasn't as blustery as he usually is as bravern, and he wasn't pretending not to have ever been human. (though he is still watashi-ing rather than ore-ing, when he slipped up in ep 9) idk if isami noticed though, he kind of had some other stuff going on
I do now think this will end with smith accepting his human limitations and the things that humans can do when they work together (not a euphemism) (not not a euphemism either). maybe human smith is still in there, if he could bring robot parts from death maybe he could also bring and reassemble his flesh. it doesn't require any *more* stretch of the imagination. isami climbs inside, finds him, loves him, and brings him out to help save the day (superbia can gattai with what's left of bravern or something idk)
"aren't you writing a story where becoming bravern is a transition analogy" A. how do you know that B. yes and I'm going to try to finish it before the finale bc it is still a fun story, but that isn't the story that bravern was ever telling and I didn't think it was. it's just an adjacent and overlapping story. (Also, sometimes the opposite of a trans story is also a trans story! Sometimes the big robot is transition and sometimes the big robot is the closet! Being trans is both about changing to something new and accepting who you were born to be; it's just a matter of how you look at it.)
ira's hot though
ilu segnities. big kansai robo
WHY CAN'T BRAVERN EAT what's sustaining him, is it pure love. the deathdrives power themselves by absorbing lulus but he's not doing that, and superbia clearly absorbs power through his hole (serious face). he can't accept love (home cooked food) in this body... this isn't a "what a plot hole" btw this is a "this feels thematic"
did isami actually own a hawaiian shirt this whole time bc I don't think we've ever seen him in civvies so that feels unlikely. was it smith's and isami brought it in memory of him. did bravern 3D print it
can't believe they fucked on the beach though
like the kiss scene is kind of a joke but also. like. only in that it was so dramatic and lulu walking in on her parents about to do it. isami was so ready to go
and then they frolicked on the beach
wow
please I don't want it to end but I also don't want it to end there please please please
I literally broke my N key in half typing OH NO OH NO OH NO in the chat
love is a spiral, an intersecting spiral
they have to get married now right
what is this series

IT'S BRAVERN THURSDAY BABY. THEORY TIME
(SPOILERS) I watched the ninth episode of Bravern twice in a row (I want a third time) and I am BURNING WITH EMOTIONS.
So. We confirmed the theory that Bravern is Smith, and even the crazy conclusion that Bravern is in some sense a kid/descendant of Smith and Knuth (or I watched with my ass?? in general, after watching i thought he used her power in some way for this to happen)
This answered some questions and created new ones. Let's say, how did Bravern know Isami's name in the first episode, is Bravern a deathdrive and who is he anyway.
But then who is the Lewis Smith we have seen throughout all the previous episodes? Where did Bravern come from if Smith had not yet died there and how did he even return in time?
We still haven't been told what the rest of the Deathdrives need and who they really are. Knuth's true goal was to merge with Smith, but he did not agree in this world. If he was Bravern from the beginning and was there with himself, then perhaps it's like a loop: the Lewises die and become the new Braverns. So, maybe there is a universe in which Bravern did not appear at all?
If he had agreed to merge with Knuth, then this would have collapsed the loop and Bravern would not have appeared in the next universe, and both worlds would have died - the first because of Isami's despair and the victory of Vanitas and Pessimism over Bravern, and the second because of for Deathdrive attacks and Bravern's absence
Maybe the Lewis and Bravern loop is Knuth's selfish wish? She said that she rewinded time over and over again, "repeating their tryst”(or something like that). Perhaps the moment of Bravern's appearance was the very “tryst” that she repeated? Killing and reviving Lewis again and again for the sake of this feeling? The loop can't end there every time
FUCK I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A FUNNY ANIME COMEDY WITH A FUNNY HUMANPHILE ROBOT AND THERE IS THINGS HAPPENING NO WORSE THAN EVANGELION. I SHAKED AND NEARLY CRIED WHILE I WATCHED THIS SERIES I WAITED A WHOLE 168 HOURS (!!!) IT WAS UNBEARABLE
THIS IS HYPERFIX
I will miss Lewis TERRIBLY. But I know that he will remain with him, in a different form though, and that there would be no other way out, but they will still be together and will be able to fulfill the promise. He was destined to this for Isami's sake every time
Other notes:
—Knuth's VA performed MAGICALLY, just LISTEN TO THIS WHAT HER VOICE HAS
—The voice actor of Vanitas is no worse 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏HE HAS SUCH A GREAT LAUGHTER
AND AT THE END, WHEN HE MOANS IN DEATH, I NEARLY DIED MYSELF. SO MUCH EMOTION
—I’m shocked by how they changed the design of Bravern and it reminds me of the changes to Optimus from the third season of TFP. Bro went to the gym
—I realized that I prefer original to Russian voice acting because Japanese actors are not shy about YELLING.
—LULU 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
—Lewis flies naked and glows as if he was censored
Overall I'm shocked

So. I just started watching Bang Brave Bang Bravern, and as a Transformers fan, I couldn't help but draw some comparisons to another duo from the recent movie...
The question is which one has the BEST tension, not the most (because imo one duo is way more obvious than the other).
Alright so first up: Noah Diaz and Mirage (also spoilers below yada yada)
Tumblr media
first meet (where they're face to face, not the car chase bit)
Tumblr media
that one scene...homiesexual?
Tumblr media
worried for his homie during battle
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He is giving up his LIFE for this human whom he just met 2 days ago. This human who's lifespan is but the blink of an eye to the average Cybertronian. AND Mirage comforts Noah even though it's Mirage dying (sorta). Personally, I don't ship, but i do admit their bond is pretty deep (way deeper than what "work friends" is at least)
Tumblr media
Also homie wears him. He's wearing Mirage. Take that as you will.
Anyways, next up: Isami Ao and Bravern
I've only watched up to ep 4 but OFF THE BAT it is just...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
first meet. they do not know each other. why is he speaking like this?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Episode 2 monologue of Bravern describing his first meet with Isami. There are a few bits cut out, but I assure you that this is NOT at of context at all because there is no context. its episode 2. we just met the robot. WHY DOES HE SPEAK LIKE THIS
Tumblr media
Isami naked inside Bravern (nothing happened tho. clothes just could not withstand the force within being inside an extraterrestrial mechanical being ig)
Tumblr media
NOTE: Isami does not feel the same way about this, just something to possibly take into account
so...yeah. you could say the bond between man and machine has really grown.

So, I read that director Masami Obari loves fan service and I am here for it!
Those compromising poses, the puns, the pop culture trivia (who would have thought Bravern knew about James Cameron’s “The Abyss”), Bravern releasing the naked Isami from inside him oozing with that sticky greenish thing, and Smith with an alien girl(?). So much to look forward to.

I'd like to point out something that I feel lends some credence to "Smith is Bravern". In the OP, we see Smith falling through space (probably because of Episode 8 events), and then him reaching up towards this angelic form before some sort of armor is superimposed over his arm. Admittedly, it's not Bravern's armor from what I can tell, BUT I do feel that this is saying that Smith gets launched into space and becomes something because of this angelic form.
