Toxic Yaoi Tournament Round 3: Suzululu (Code Geass) vs. Shuake (Persona 5)

Not to sound like a teacher lol but I really am curious as to all of your why’s

My favorite is Mitsuru because I love women and smart characters and she’s badass and pretty but still still human and able to sympathize with and deals with the same shit we do (well not the arranged fiancé thing lol)

Isako Toriumi from Persona 3 x Sadayo Kawakami from Persona 5 vs Elias Bouchard x Peter Lukas from The Magnus Archives

Propaganda for Isako x Sadayo:

there's a comic about them where Sadayo is a sexy maid for hire and Isako is figuring out that she's gay and just have you seen the comic aaaah fail teacher yuri

Propaganda for Elias x Peter:

Take one glance at the big boy man audio, they literally talk like a divorced couple. we all know peter is elias’s sugar daddy, whats more to love in the eye guy x lonely guy

Autistic Anime Boys Side B Round 1 Match 26

Propaganda:

Jade -

"Has a special interest in mushrooms and will make it everyone else's problem. He's so feral, but in the most subtle ways. Generally comes across as gentle and not feral, especially compared to his twin brother (also autistic), but if you look at some of his official art, he looks absolutely deranged (affectionate)."

Akihiko -

"I'm on record as saying akihiko is maybe the most autistic persona character ever (a highly contested position). i dare you to watch this video and come away without seeing it. look at him. he has a lot of problems to deal with but at least he can find solace in his special interest in sports! he is going to need it."

Round 2 Wave 1

I really need to draw her more, she has a great design 🥲💗

Round 3, Match 31: Sojiro Sakura vs. Kurogane and Fai D’Flourite

Submitted kids:

Sojiro Sakura: Futaba Sakura, Akira Kurusu/Ren Amamiya, and the rest of the phantom thieves tbh

Kurogane and Fai D’Flourite: Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, Chun'yan, a bunch of one off characters, Sakura and Syaoran a second time (it makes sense in context)

Propaganda under the cut!

Sojiro Sakura:

1. “He's the Hierophant confidant which is already the dad arcana. He has one legitimately adopted daughter (Futaba) and then the moment he hears about a troubled teenager from a customer at his Café he's like "guess I have to take this guy in. Ugh what a pain. Of course I'm doing it." And then when said troubled teenager brings his loud friends over and then his artist friend who doesn't eat a lot and his polite nerd friend and his very polite socialite friend and his murderous bestie Sojiro acts like they're all pests and pretends they don't see him insisting on feeding them all and making them all coffee to taste and stocking up on soft drinks for the one who doesn't like coffee and refusing payment and setting them up with a campervan for their crime road trip and generally being a dad. "This is such a hassle" he says as a token protest as he packs them lunch boxes and threatens cops on their behalf”

2. “He was so cold to the mc in the beginning but really warmed up to him and even protected him from the police and the rest of the team”

3. “Futaba is his best friend's daughter, who he adopted after her mother was murdered by a government conspiracy. Akiren is a random kid who he agreed to take in after he was put on probation, who he lets live in the attic of his cafe. His entire character arc is learning to be a better dad to these wayward troubled children, and in the end, he actually cries when Akiren has to leave to go back to his parents.”

Kurogane and Fai D’Flourite:

1. “These fuckers can't help themself they're just 2 married husbands that adopt every child they see. kurogane starts out a power hungry ninja who gets sent away for killing too much and he drops that shit so quick the moment there is a child. He just starts watching out for the two kids in their group and being homoerotic with Fai. meanwhile Fai joins the group with a very specific agenda that's been like, his entire reason to live for centuries and he ends up deciding to give up on that to save his kids. he literally lets his eye get ripped out in an attempt to get syaoran back. like 90% of their conversations and bonding is about the kids and their wellbeing and both of them calling out the other for being cringe fail and accidentally adopting them while frantically denying they've done the same (then turning around and putting their coat around Sakura or Syaoran because they are getting cold). theyre just slow burn found familynur honour”

2. “#these two did not go through literal hell and back for each other and their found family to lose #traumatised magician/samurai soulmates sweep. please. #Kurogane and Shanks both lost an arm protecting someone in their found family”

3. “#i would say it actually doesn't make all that much sense in context but.”

This will either end in an enlightened discussion where everyone respects each other's opinions or pure chaos where you just want your blorbo to win no matter what.

Knights of the Round: "Think of it like A3!’s Final Fantasy. There’s around 10-15 games if I remember correctly, one of the characters is obsessed with it, and it’s a fantasy rpg loosely based on King Arthur. In A3!, the Spring Troupe gets contacted to put on a stageplay version of the fourth game, making it the only one with a fully realized plot."

Featherman: "it's like power rangers basically. one of the persona 3 cast is actually revealed to get hired as an actor for it. uhh they're all bird themed. it's been around since the og persona games. apparently it's important in persona 2 but im not that far in yet. i dont know the obscure lore about this show sadly."

Mod Note: Adamantly advocating for the A3! fans

Persona 5 for me (shocking) because the characters, their relationships/interactions with each other, and the themes. I love that a bunch of headstrong kids decide to pick up the slack when their so-called leaders are failing them. And I really like the whole phantom thief motif and the the method used to change evil ppl’s hearts.

But I’ll be damned if I said Persona 4 wasn’t a close second!

Isako Toriumi from Persona 3 x Sadayo Kawakami from Persona 5 vs Hooty from The Owl House x Duo the Duolingo owl

Propaganda for Isako x Sadayo:

there's a comic about them where Sadayo is a sexy maid for hire and Isako is figuring out that she's gay and just have you seen the comic aaaah fail teacher yuri

Propaganda for Hooty x Duo:

The are arch enemies. They are ex lovers who yearn for each other’s soft touch. They haven’t spoken to each other in years. They think about the other every night before going to bed. And they’re both stupid fucking owls

-

Two birds that people deem “annoying” and can literally kill decide to be with each other.

Autistic Anime Boys Side B Round 2 Match 13

Propaganda:

Gin -

"He vocal stims regularly (ends sentences with ‘meow’ of ‘woof’). He carries his comfort item (mew-chan) with him area and mentions in chapter 3 he used to struggle to leave the house without his comfort outfit (cat cloak, paw gloves etc.) and finds it easier to communicate when he’s wearing it. He’s just a little guy <3 I’m terrible at writing but he’s such a fun character, Gin is the most realistic representation of a 12 year old autistic furry, he just wants to be happy and see his mom again."

Akihiko -

"I'm on record as saying akihiko is maybe the most autistic persona character ever (a highly contested position). i dare you to watch this video and come away without seeing it. look at him. he has a lot of problems to deal with but at least he can find solace in his special interest in sports! he is going to need it."
