“and finally, after five years of terrible mistakes that could never be unmade but could maybe one day be forgiven, yu narukami came home.” - the disappearance of goro akechi, kupowonders
Yakuza 0 tier list but it's how I would feel about taking each character to Chili's
(not all are an exact 1-to-1 of how much I like them -- more a mix of how much I like them and what kind of character they are)
in the swap au, wakaba lives and akechi has a confidant with her. the only problem is it's with her shadow and not the actual wakaba.
you see, i had to do some equivalent exchange and sacrifice sojiro in order for wakaba to live. it's currently too dangerous for akechi to be near the real wakaba right now because she may have quit working for shido, but she's too closely monitored not only by his agents but by her own daughter as well. if akechi were to contact her in the real world, a target would be put on his back. good thing he encountered her shadow first.
he stumbled upon the shadow completely by chance. it behaved differently from other shadows. much more like palace rulers. probably because she was on the cusp of developing one. the two only talked, akechi on guard in case she attacked and shadow wakaba just stays in her corner. they strike up a deal: in exchange for limited information of cognitive pscience (because shido would know when the phantom thieves know too much), he keeps her company and stop her from developing a palace by reminding her of reasons why she the real wakaba shouldn't give into her twisted desires.
her rank 10 would be changing her heart and sending her back to the real wakaba. after getting the final rank, if akechi goes to leblanc, the real wakaba would be waiting and give him a thank you note and a free meal. she'd also offer help during the whole "pretending the black masks actually killed him" thing.
With all the Mutant Mayhem hype going on right now it kind of makes me confront how I personally I feel about the movie and how much... I don't care about it...
Like! It's not like I hate it by any mean, I'm glad people are getting new turtle content! It's just... I'm actually not the biggest TMNT fan...?
Like, aside from Rise, I'm not particularly super into the other shows or movies. I've watched almost all of them, and they're good! But just... they're not really for me...
If I can be completely honest here for a second. They are great! I had a good time watching them! But I also never want to see them again duifjvjedifkg.
Rise is a mayor exception in this tho! The show it's so different from the rest of the iterations, and that's a good thing for me since that difference kind of, accidentally, end up hitting every single box for what makes me love a cartoon so much!
I think I've rewatched the Rise show and movie more times that I can count! fhsgdde.
And from the trailers alone I'm still not super sold on MM. Mostly because it feels like more of the traditional stuff we get from TMNT...
I'm going to watch the movie, of course, and I'm sure I'm going to enjoy it! The same way I enjoy the rest of the TMNT franchise.
