Katara could have ended up with Haru, and Zuko could have ended up with Jin, which I would have been happier with than canon Kataang and Maiko. The added irony that Zuko and Katara both flirted with people from the Earth Kingdom.

Top five best and worst doppels!
Narrowing down only 5 of my favorites is hard, but I'll give it a shot!
5 Best Doppels:
5. Halifax (Kasane Ao):
[slaps roof of doppel] this baby can pack SO much symbolism into it. Really, all of the doppels are full of symbolism, but something about Ao's always gets me. The resigned, exhausted look on her face, rusted shackles binding her to her guilt, the black blood around the guillotine, the way it literally decapitates Ao when she summons it (you can see her head on the ground after the blade drops)... oouuughhh. I might have to dig into this one in another post later before I go off on a Monzenbashi tangent, haha.
Design-wise, the black/blue/glowing cyan combo is pretty, so there's that too!
4. Cuauhtitlan (Kimochi Rabi):
One of my favorite doppel designs in the game for sure. The dull, washed-out colours are very pleasing to look at (and a nice nod to Rabi's fading hope), and there's something poignant about the massive stone wings framing the bodies of the Kimochi, with Rabi hanging as a sacrifice in the middle. I also like the way it operates and interacts with its master-- Rabi believes that the only salvation for magical girls is death, so Cuauhtitlan vaporizes its targets in an attempt to free them from suffering... but because Rabi (though she tries to ignore it) still has the tiniest scrap of hope in the back of her mind, she can't help but fear that this isn't what she wants after all.
3. Merkava (Kirari Hikaru):
Hikaru is solidly under "characters I'd love to see a doppel ver. alt for" because of how good Merkava is. One, it's got an awesome design (which would transfer very well to a suit of armor), and two, there's a lot of potential in how it's basically the embodiment of executive dysfunction. A lot of characters have mixed feelings about their doppels, but Merkava is particularly hard for Hikaru to accept because of how it represents her inability to Do Things (even the things she wants to do) without a proper external motivator.
side note hikaru must be one strong draft horse if she can not only haul this thing along behind her, but pick up enough momentum to be able to grab it by the ropes and throw it over her shoulders. my girl has been eating her veggies, god damn
2. 9daime Nue (Kagura San):
I love 9daime Nue's colours and cool antique style, but the way its gangly arms move reminds me so much of this gif that I laugh whenever I see it in-game:
Still, it's an awesome doppel! I also like how it can be either very gentle or very brutal, depending on the circumstances-- if a natural cause displaces something in its environment, it will carefully sort things back to how they were before, which is kinda cute for how large it is. But if someone intentionally changes something, it will immediately hunt down the offender to beat them senseless. Doppel of Keep Your Hands To Yourself. (More seriously, it's interesting how it takes San's fear of change to an extreme degree.)
1. Catacombe (Izumi Kanagi):
Still my favorite doppel in the game after all of these years. :') It's a four-armed lion with gold teeth, ancient bronze swords, a skull necklace, and a mane of billowing smoke; what's not to like? And according to Magia Archive, it's blindfolded by two masks over each of its eyes, so that's cool too. (i wonder what its eyes look like......)
Catacombe was one of the earliest doppels released, so it has a bit in its description about how overusing it may cause Kanagi to become similarly unforgiving. I love notes like that; I think the concept of doppels influencing their masters is fascinating, even if it's only a temporary issue.
5 Worst Doppels:
5. Victoria (Kaharu Yuuna):
Very good from a symbolism perspective; very unpleasant to look at. I suppose that's part of the point- it's meant to be gaudy and self-absorbed- but... still...
4. Elsie (Shinobu Akira):
Does anyone remember how goo candy, blue raspberry, and blue raspberry goo candy were all the rage in the early 2000s? Like Juicy Drop Pops and those Ooze Tube things? I can TASTE this doppel. My mouth feels bad just looking at it.
3. Gosirsa (Natsu Ryouko):
I love Ryouko! I love what Gosirsa represents! The horns on the cart are awesome! But EEUFGJHJFGHH something about the cluster of wheels looks too much like tendrils or something and totally wigs me out ;_;
2. Hund Balou (Sarasa Hanna):
Props to Hund Balou's designer for making a doppel so viscerally uncomfortable to look at that I can't even bring myself to include a picture of it in this post. Its arms...
1. Poker Alice (Nanase Yukika):
I can only fit one more image in this post (mobile limit) and I'm not using it on Poker Alice. Why does it have teeth around its eyes??? Why is it so fleshy

Characters who could have joined Neo-Magius
Not that long ago, people in the translation discord were talking about who else (besides the obvious and canon ones) of all the cast could have joined Neo-Magius? This stuck on my mind for a while, and I compiled a list!
And I get why these are pretty unrealistic! This is just a fun thing! About who would join an actual supremacy cult! Wait is that fun
First of all, one interpretation I really like of Neo-Magius‘ (NM) whole thing is “solving human issues with supremacy”
Amane Twins: The twins were the main answer in the translation discord, and I get why, because there’s a subplot involving them that I’m pretty weirded out that it hasn’t been that talked about? Well, basically the twins’ parents and grandmother found out that they know each other.
You can guess that didn’t go well at all, in fact, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa aren’t showing up lately because of that. While Tsukasa’s dad is okay with his daughters knowing each other, the grandmother put Tsukuyo under house arrest, so the two haven’t been able to see each other (the way they were found out was through Tsukuyo’s mom following her one time out of concern due to the raising conflicts between the west and east, and it seems she was in contact with the twins‘ father while doing so).
I can see the two of them joining Neo-Magius to stop them from being separated over reasons that aren’t their fault (like the whole east vs west divide, their parents’ marriage failing due to being too different, the grandmother’s expectations, etc) along the lines of ‘If we are on the top, no one can separate us’. Also this is unrelated, but poor Tsukasa seems to be reaching her limit, she tells Kanagi that she understands why Kanagi wanted to destroy Kamihama in the past.
Ren: This one might be pretty surprising but I can see Ren joining NM on similar grounds to Shizuka; mainly to guide people towards goodness. One of the major themes with Ren is dealing with the ugliness in the world. Having to face the fact that even if she got rid of all Witches, evilness would still exist, is what drives her to suicide a second time (I’m pretty sure the Magia Archives mentions that Ren meeting Rika offset her from following a bad path). There‘s also her doppel’s power which erases evil from a person’s heart but ends up erasing their personality as well (the line about Ren being low-key into it is horrifying). So I can see Ren joining parallel to Shizuka.
Yuuna: So this one is very simple: had none of her character development happened, Yuuna would have definitely jumped on the supermacy bandwagon. The main reason why is to live up to the glorified image she had of Mami as a saint, something like ‘If I want to become like my noble saint, I must stand at the top’.
Sayaka: Ok, so before anybody scoffs at this, I’m just going to go right in: Sayaka’s whole dilemma about being thanked and appreciated is a one-way ticket towards being driven into NM. The Surfing Sayaka event involves the theme of telling someone about what you wished for in their sake, is it good or bad? (It has a lot of significant moments between Sayaka and Kyoko on the topic, with Kyoko being understandably on the ‘its bad’-side). If Sayaka was still balls hard into the concept of a hero of justice without resolving any of her grivances on expecting something back for her wish, I’m sure the potential for Sayaka joining NM is there.
Mikoto, Hanna, and Alina: Honestly? All three fall into the same category: they want to do shit their own way without giving a fuck about those around them. Mikoto‘s struggles with her parents are what made her go ‘You know what? Screw this!’ And use her own suggestion magic to let her imagine a more proper and well-adjusted family in her head, so wanting to rise above her parents and live in her imagination (like Himena) is what I see for Mikoto. Hanna would probably want to rise to a higher sandbox where she can start chaos as she wants, but then again she’s pretty unpredictable with what she wants. Alina I imagine would be into being above everyone just so that she can make whatever art she wants, free from anyone’s opinions (although to be fair she would make some messed-up shit). Also Alina is already somewhat of a supremacist, but again, she’s the type who’s pretty self-motivated.
Chika: So the basis here is pretty straightforward: Chika is a misanthropist, understandably so because of the problems she and her family experienced. She also seems to be struggling with preferring nature to humans while being a human herself (hell, her doppel line is “In the end, I’m just human too…”). But all this is ironic since Chika infiltrates NM alongside Sunao by pretending to join in Chapter 5.
Sakurako: Weirdly enough I can see Robot Daughter as a supremacist. My line of thinking here comes from the idea of her robotic manner of approaching things, so ideas like Magical Girl supremacy would seem to be really logical to Sakurako. Nemu would be pissed though, “ITS NOT A PHASE MOM!”
Rui: I know, the chuuni girl and joining a supremacy cult? Seems like an obvious one until you remember how nice Rui is. I can see it happening from another angle: her not wanting to be potentially judged for her chuuni persona, which in turn becomes a type of supremacy. Oh and she‘s friends with Miyuri too, their friendship is nice.
And thats it! From me at least. I made an effort to consider all the possible angles that stood out to me and seemed possible in character (So nothing like Rika or say Hinano joining because Issues TM since it would be weirdly out of character and without an existing basis like Ren). I did come up with Tart as a ‘ignore the time discrepancies’ option, but she’s way too selfless and self-sacrficing to resolve to put herself above anyone. Do share any girls or angles that I missed.

My friend and I have been dissapointed by the lack of Yuuna/Chika art anywhere to be found as they are obviously the superior pairing (they go on nature walks and hold hands guys come on), so we decided to take matters into our own hands.
The artist did an amazing job as always, and here is the original https://www.pixiv.net/artworks/95594497
