#WHY IS HE A LEO RISING

[twinkinspector]

kaminari denki ❥ astrology masterlist ❥ generational planets

❥ birth date: june 29, 2126

❥ birth time: morning (ATTENTION, WE HAVE OUR FIRST MORNING BABY)

❥ birth place: saitama prefecture

❥ pop astrology analysis: cancer sun, libra moon, leo rising. the only placement in his big three that strikes me as odd is his cancer sun. i don’t see a TON of emotion out of him besides anxiety, but that could be something we just haven’t seen yet. my guess for his sun would have been sagittarius, but i’m satisfied with his big three overall.

❥ in-depth under the cut ❥

❥ cancer sun: emotional. strong survival instinct. nurturing. sensitive. compassionate. seeks and offers security. loyal. protective. highly intuitive. associated with psychic abilities. charismatic. mommy issues. same sun as shinsou.

kami often goes out of his way to make others feel comfortable and confident, especially regarding their quirks. from the wiki: his role is to tie class 1-a together with his personality, just like eijiro. both of these point to him being intuitive – i wouldn’t say highly intuitive, but he’s definitely picking up vibes that others don’t. he seems to crack under pressure often, which shows his emotional and sensitive side. he often sticks up for his friends and is hesitant to use his quirk around anyone who could potentially get hurt. (the next part is just a guess.) i’ve seen a few people speculate that he could have some mommy issues, and that’s why he seeks validation from women.

i also wanna mention something that @fandomluke​ brought up in their tags! whenever kami overuses his quirk and goes completely brainless, he gives the thumbs up. i didn’t realize until TODAY that’s because he’s making sure everyone knows he’s okay. he’s trying to keep everyone confident and comfortable. i definitely think this ties in with his libra moon, but this feels more like cancer energy to me. he embodies this type of energy all the time – he always tries his best so his teammates don’t have to worry and it’s just sooooo uwu

❥ libra moon: peaceful. naturally charismatic. relationship-oriented. communicative. intelligent. witty. social. optimistic. easygoing. cooperative. excellent planner or strategist.

i think his libra moon really shows in his interactions with others even though the moon is more of your internal world. i think he really tends to wear his heart on his sleeve and isn’t very guarded, so we see more of this placement than his peers’ moon placements. he’s almost always kind and reassuring no matter who he’s talking to – big libra energy there. he doesn’t have the best grades, so he’s not often considered intelligent. but he randomly drops facts that he wouldn’t know unless he’d researched the topic. he also has a surprisingly large vocabulary...... but i’ll touch on this later :) he’s very cooperative in combat and often helps to come up with really intricate strategies to keep others out of harm’s way when he uses his quirk.

❥ leo rising: hair!!!! confident. generous. attractive to others. strong mind. clear intentions. self-aware. body-conscious. ruled by the sun!!! warm. eager to stand up for what he believes in. loves new tasks.

i don’t think i need to point out his hair, but i’m gonna. he has such distinctive hair – apparently, the lightning bolt is natural. from the wiki again: denki's surname contains the kanji for "above, hair." leo energy???? kami has two distinct sides – confident and anxious. his confidence definitely comes from this placement. he gets a lot more confident in combat when others are out of harm’s way. and he’s really confident when talking to women even though he’s rejected kind of often (my poor baby T.T) i have an interesting take on the “strong mind” aspect here. he fries his brain ALL THE TIME, right? he should be a bumbling idiot more often than right after he uses his quirk..... but he’s not. i think his self-awareness and body-consciousness come in with how careful he is in combat and how he knows when he should and shouldn’t use his full power. he also gives me SUCH SUN VIBES he just feels like a warm, sunny day to me.... i dunno. he also sticks up for his friends a lot!! especially during his provisional exam.

❥ gemini mercury: quick-witted. can come across as scattered, but this is because they have broad interests. seem to know a little about everything. knowledgable. mercury is in its domicile here.

kami gets anxious under pressure. even tests bother him. i think the “scattered” aspect could definitely manifest as anxiety here. like i said above, he shows knowledge about things aside from academics. THIS is where i think his vocabulary really comes in. he’s definitely quick-witted – he has to be with a quirk like his. he talks a loooooot. and that definitely comes from the fact that mercury is in its domicile, so his mercurial energy is expressed easily.

❥ gemini venus: social butterflies. curious. social chameleon. charming.

kami is literally friends with anyone and everyone. he’s a social butterfly AND a social chameleon. he can fit in with whatever group he wants. you can tell he’s curious because of his random knowledge. and i’d say he’s pretty charming to have so many friends. ALSO his little choker in his hero costume gives me big gemini venus energy...... again, i can elaborate but

❥ cancer mars: indirect. passive-aggressive. inclined to control their feelings but can seem moody. can later erupt. protects themselves. driven to action based upon emotion. mars is in its fall here.

this shows a lot in his combat style. he’s very hesitant to use his quirk when allies are around (for good reason) and tends to get anxious. when he knows everyone’s safe, however, he’s able to fight much more effectively. his quirk is a parallel to his feelings in a lot of ways. it’s tough to control and he can’t leave it unchecked. but the second he’s free to use it, it’s like an eruption. mars being in its fall makes sense. while he makes his combat style work for him, it’s not the most conventional or easy to use.

❥ sagittarius jupiter: this is considered one of the luckiest placements to have. optimistic. inspirational. can indicate a spiritual person. usually a scholar. jupiter is in its domicile here.

kami has always given me big sagittarius energy, although he doesn’t have many sag placements. i could just be picking up on his jupiter though! it’s funny because he’s not super lucky in his interactions with women, but he seems to be pretty lucky in most other respects. he’s definitely optimistic and inspires others to also better alongside him. again, he’s not a scholar. but he does seem to follow his interests and learn more about those specific things, which is a characteristic of a lot of scholars.

❥ virgo saturn: introspection and change as a result of that introspection. adaptability.

i don’t notice a lot of introspection as far as his own personality (I think this actually might come in the future.), but he’s definitely applied this to his quirk and is majorly adaptable. i keep mentioning his quirk and combat style, but i feel like that’s really the best and most obvious representation of his placements. he quickly learned that just going all-out wasn’t the best use of his power, so he changed his approach. 

❥ overall

kami’s chart is actually pretty similar to shinsou’s. this..... doesn’t surprise me. the fandom has really latched on to the fact that the two of them balance each other out, and i have no doubt that this is why. they both have similar natural tendencies, but their experiences (and the placements they have that are different) have shaped those natural tendencies into different things entirely. but they would be able to understand each other on a really deep level.

regarding kami specifically, i expected more sagittarius placements, but his gemini placements have a similar effect overall. do i agree with his chart as a whole? hesitantly, yeah. but i also think this is because he hasn’t personally had a ton of character development yet. like i mentioned earlier, he might get some more development soon – this would check out if he and shinsou had their development at the same time.

Leo learns something about himself 🏳️‍⚧️

Based roughly on this old post.

Bonus:

[Leo is taking the fact that he was born biologically female simultaneously very well and also not so well but overall he’s mostly coping with the fact that it was Draxum that just essentially gave him the turtle equivalent of ‘The Talk’.]

One of my favorite details of all time in the ROTTMNT Movie is that when Casey Jr. is so angry, he either seems to not think right or does not care about hurting himself to unleash his anger. And it's so funny.

Consider the scene with Casey and Leo, the one after Casey chews him out.

After a little bit of time alone, Leo resolves to do better. While moving rubble, Casey finds a break in the wall with light shining through and understands it's a way out, so he focuses his efforts on that. Leo joins Casey at the top of the rubble pile, trying to help.

Casey is still steaming mad and gives Leo a hilarious glare before ramming into the wall to break it.

Now, remember where Casey's armor is. The shoulder armor is on his right. What shoulder does he use to ram into the stone wall?

His left.

Yep, he was so mad that he rammed into a stone wall with his unarmored shoulder when he has a perfectly good armored shoulder on the other side. This action also hurt him quite a bit, it seems, considering his expression.

(As a side note, it is true, you're really not supposed to ram your shoulder into things, you'll injure it. That's why it's common advice to kick doors down, not shoulder slam them. That's also why in contact sports, including hockey, people wear shoulder pads.)

It gets better, though. Clearly it hurt the first time so he wouldn't do it again, right? He can't be that stupid, right?

WRONG.

Casey is probably too angry and full of adrenaline to consider much or not try to hurt himself. So he rams into the wall the exact same way a second time. Really it's only when Leo tries to speak more openly here, admits his flaws, and agrees to work together that Casey pauses.

But wait, it gets even better. The third and final time when they break through the wall together...

HE'S STILL USING THE SAME SIDE TO SLAM THE WALL. 😭 He learned nothing. He just doesn't hurt himself too bad the final time because they successfully break through to the elevator shaft.

Not once within this scene did it occur to him to use his armored shoulder. Not once. Not even after it clearly hurt.

Casey Jr. truly is a gift. 💗

Ugh I love that comic so much it's unreal. Thank you so much for creating and sharing it with us. You're one of my biggest inspirations 🥺

Hmm.... It's almost like something happened that we don't know about......

———————————————

Finally able to post this! Gonna say straight out the bat; don't look at the consistency of injuries before this point. Just straight up don't. They are NOT consistent at all (but then again this comic was never consistent art wise to begin with, so....)

The turtles have eye colors now! Cause I thought that was cool :)

Bonus:

They did not, in fact, tell April or Cass about the whole "Leo may be turning into a kraang zombie" situation.

I told myself my drawings didn't need to be perfect. I started drawing, and it seemed to help. Don't you ever want to get up at three am to go treasure hunting?

Might do a second part?

It’s a good thing that the boys had cute little button eyes when they were babies, because imagine if they had big ol eyes instead, like
