#these aren't really arguments -girls have opposite personalities and other outlooks on things that's all! it's more like friendly bickering

Thank you for salvaging Seiko's character. Definitely did not like that one scene in Chronicles with her (or most of xc in gen), but the idea of the real Seiko being a third member of a trio and still being a huge nerd about swords is cute. Makes me wish for an episode where a Shen Gong Wu is in Japan and the girls get to reunite and meet the monks.
Right!? That part with 'stealing the boyfriend' was really unnecessary (just like repeating the same thing that happened in xs in the shadow of fear episode but with different fears. Why did they make the squirrel a ninja? the design of furious squirrel from xs was better. what was the reason for changing clay's grandma's design?)
Kimiko's fear in XS was more authentic. Idk what that scene in the chronicles was supposed to achieve. Did the show want to show us Kimiko at some point snaked someone else's boyfriend? Was that really necessary to discredit her this way? Or maybe it was just really the misunderstanding, Seiko got it wrong and started hating Kimiko for that and hence, Kimiko can't forgive herself for this happening? If the latter one, then maybe OK, some angst fuel if we really consider they are ex-friends. However, Seiko-gal has big anger issues, which is off-putting.
So, it really means much to me that 'Seiko is one of Kimiko's besties' scenario is commended! As much as I hated the appearance of Chronicles!Seiko, well I could see a little potential? Coz, yo, a lady who can professionally swing the sword!? Seiko in my eyes gave off big Katana vibes (especially if we take into consideration Katana's design in Batman The Brave And The Bold). I hc Seiko's fascination with Japanese weaponry is due to her father's job - he's a museum guard, but he owns his own katanas, which have been passed down to him. Little Seiko loved her father's stories about their samurai ancestors, so she wanted to become one, hence her training!
As for the Japan episode - anon, I couldn't agree more! Keiko would hug the hell outta Omi. Seiko, contrary to Keiko, was never up to conversation - she's very reserved, so when Raimundo tries to start a conversation, he immediately regrets that choice xD
I don't know why this idea came to me, but it would be cool if this time the main villain would be Tubbimura. Instead of the magical showdown, the episode would end with 'regular showdown' between Seiko and Tubbimura. Samurai girl vs ninja. It's not even about winning the wu anymore. It's about honor! The episode would build up with Tubbimura taking interest in Seiko's agility and swordsmanship only to reach a climax in which both Seiko and Tubbimura want to fight in order to test each other abilities. Dojo would 'boo' that solution, claiming regular showdowns are boring. But he shuts up immediately he feels Seiko's cold gaze upon him.
I want Seiko to win because that would result in mutual respect between the two warriors ok? For the comedic effect I would want the episode to end with Kimiko and Keiko finding out Seiko and Tubbi are pen-pals now haha
Kimiko: Hey I've seen you accepted Tubbimura's friend request. Can I know... why?
Seiko: Oh, we're friends now.
Keiko, who snorted out the soda she was drinking through the nose: !!!!!!!!!!!
Kimiko, visibly shocked: Erm... That's good, I think???????? But what do you usually talk about???
Seiko, pokerface on her face: ABOUT THE PASSION FOR THE CRAFT. ... And sometimes about healthy diets and his dog. I don't like pets in general, but Muffinface is precious and I would protect them from any harm.
Kimiko, confused but supportive: yeah, the doggy is sweet!
Keiko, trying to clean herself up: !!!!!!!???? Girl, you crazy?!
Seiko, blatantly: So, you want the evidence in a form of 32 photos of that dog!? Sure, I can provide fight me.
