Honestly I think Fire candle has stolen the spot of my favourite character tied with Gozyu wolf in super sentai Gozyuger. I just enjoy his character alot and he actually respects the generals of the seasons footsoldiers. (Well they are just the loves with a golden bell for a head instead of silver.) I mean early before one of them exploded in a mecha fight. they had a picture of fire candle with them being besties and it cut to fire candle looking at the same picture. Plus he canonically gets drinks with one of them and was paying respects in the murder mystery episode. When he was killed to start the episode. (Was fine after the mystery was solved granted. Same with everyone else before the actual fight.)

anyways if youre curious here is some stuff ive written for the au (who is what stone and some bits of characterisation. mostly main characters with some side charas i did for fun) (also im still kinda eh on some of them so i might change them. most of them arent really symbolic choices i went by colour matching first tbh)

I started number one sentai Gozyuger and have liked the first four episodes so far. It's cool to see other red rangers appear through the sentai rings and even if it's not daigo. I want to see kyoryuger red who appears in the opening. (I really liked kyoryuger so I just want to see anything kyoryuger related.)

[sceptile11]

i had to relearn how to draw them.....

[sceptile11]

Wanted to draw something silly based on an AU. Though in a more chibi style I suppose with Saori and Noa

[sceptile11]

I need to actually watch episode 5 of super sentai kyoryuger instead of watching the opening multiple times when I can just look it up. (And I still have episodes to get through where I can see the opening.)

And today marks the fifth day of the birthday marathon week, AND it's a Cardfighter! Today, we'll dive back into the world of Cardfight!! Vanguard as we witness this young boy attempt to reignite the love for his favorite team and carry on their legacy! Everyone, say happy birthday to the leader of Team New Nippon from Cardfight!! Vanguard G NEXT, Arata Nishizawa!

Arata Nishizawa is one of the newest characters introduced within the fourth and fifth season of Cardfight!! Vanguard G (also known as NEXT and G Z). He's the leader of a new team called Team New Nippon, inspired by a team that inspired him which was Team Nippon. Although the members mysteriously disappeared, Arata values the lessons they've shown and the intense games they showed to the world as he tries to rebuild the team and make them known again! He would get this chance within a tournament called the Under20, a Vanguard tournament meant for players 21 and under to participate and become a pro player! Just as Team New Nippon lost their rounds, everything gets worse when they find out one of their members started acting mysteriously and decided to ditch the team, leaving Arata and the other member dishearten...still, they promised that member they'll be together and achieve their dreams, so they'll hunt them down and find out why they quit the team in G Z!....however...they may have bit off a bit more than they can chew as that former member had been possessed by a dark supernatural force...

Personality wise, Arata is a very sweet, airheaded, and determined boy who's always full of energy! He deeply cares about his teammates and the promises they made together, always holding them close to his chest and doing his best to take care of them. Although he can be a bit wild, Arata does his best for his team which he considers his family, doing whatever it takes to beat down the supernatural forces that are attempting to take away their bonds! He greatly admires Team Nippon, especially the leader Rive Shindou (pretty awkward since the main protagonist IS his son) and how amazing and passionate he was during his fights! It's why he's often claimed that his team inherited Team Nippon's will and ambition, and even go beyond!

Arata is voiced by Shun Horie who's known for voicing Aether from Genshin Impact, Linhardt von Hevring from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Ixs Eldarion from The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak series, Galahad from Fate/Grand Order, Haru Shirokane from Tribe Nine, Kai Minamisawa from the World Trigger series, Ishida Masamune from Touken Ranbu Gerard from Angelique Retour, Enta Jinnai from Sarazanmai, George Glooman from SPYxFAMILY, Navimon from Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters, Schlain Zagan Analeit/Shunsuke Yamada from I'm a Spider, So What?, and so much more!

Arata runs a Tachikaze Clan deck which hails from the Dragon Empire nation, a land filled with monstrous dragons. Although, Tachikaze are dinosaurs, they're technically dinosaur dragons with a mechanic based on "kill or be killed", destroying your own allies as if you're consuming them in order to gain new abilities. And since his idol Rive Shindou uses Tachikaze, of course he's gotta inherit his will! Introducing Frenzy Emperor Dragon, Gaia Desperado and the Gaia series! Gaia Desperado is an evolution and improvement upon Rive's original Emperor Dragon, Gaia Emperor and is Arata's way of standing out but adhering to his roots! Gaia Desperado is a level 3 card that once again focuses on the Tachikaze ability of the devour mentality which has been labeled as the keyword "Engorge"! Engorge is active whenever you destroy one or more of your own allies during the battle your Vanguard attacks, activating the Engorge state! When Gaia Desperado enters Engorge state, Arata can pay a resource in order to draw a card! Plus, Gaia Desperado has special effects depending on which zone it is in! If it's not in the Vanguard zone while in Engorge state, he gains an extra +5,000! However, if he IS in the Vanguard zone while in Engorge state, he gets to deal an extra damage to the opponent, making him a bit more harder to defend against! Plus, when some of the dinosaurs in Tachikaze are used for Engorge, they gain special abilities which include powering up your cards, or drawing more cards! No matter what, Tachikaze will always be able to regain lost advantage and generate as much power as they want~!

Ahhh Arata! Honestly, I feel like Team New Nippon is VERY underrated within the G era, even through the semi bad writing. I...don't really have any feelings for Arata and the rest of New Nippon. I just think they're neat. Nothing special, just...neat. Maybe it's because they don't really get as much screen time as I'd like for them to develop more but I did enjoy Arata's determination to get his friend back! I just...wish they got more screen time. ..yeah, I don't really have much to say on Arata and New Nippon...but still, it doesn't stop me from understanding why people love him! Although I'm not a huge fan, I respect those who love Arata and New Nippin! To be honest, I mainly decided to cover New Nippon since they're part of the main plot of the fifth season of the G era so that's why I'm celebrating them. By the way, did I mention that he said "I've fallen for you!" to the first teammate he recruited? G A Y. THAT'S GAY. He also calls him his destined teammate soooooo- GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY-! In general, he just says he's fallen for his team members but that's still hella gay like GOD DAMN THAT'S GAY BEYOND BELIEF HE LEGIT WAS CLIMBING ACROSS THE DAMN TABLE WHEN HE FOUND HIS TEAMMATES HE LEGIT BEGAN CRAWLING ACROSS THE DAMN TABLE THEY WERE USING TO PLAY VANGUARD AND WAS LIKE "I've fallen for you become my teammate" LIKE THAT'S GAY

GAY

MAN REALLY JUST CRAWLED ON THE TABLE ASOI JIUASHFS H Ok maybe I take it back he's hella funny at least lol I like him to a degree

Happy birthday Arata!

Is it a bad thing I had to look at Google maps to find out where the bus driver was going because I didn't recognise the roads? (I didn't know there were back roads to get home from where I was.)

[sceptile11]

Saw two pigeons by a tree and thought "somehow that's a hatoful boyfriend reference."

I hate having to post political posts like this nut he we are again. Anybody from the UK wanna sign this. Folks from outside the UK maybe share it?
