HYPERDOLPHIN (ハイパードルフィン)

I realize that I haven't mentioned this very important band in Ite! that is central to Rankou's storyline so I should probably talk about it :>

Formed in his first year, HYPERDOLPHIN is pretty much just your run-of-the-mill high school band. The members are as follows:

Yamamoto Rankou (山本卵黄):

Leader / Bassist

Responsible for a lot of the planning and other management-related things for the band

Terrible at singing

Egg Yolk Jelly / Samukurage / Phacellophora camtschatica

[Last name pending] Kiseki (きせき):

Vocalist / Rhythm Guitarist

One of the founding members

A bit of a renaissance jelly when it comes to music

Cauliflower Jelly / Ibokurage / Cephea cephea

Nakachi Helios (中地ヘリオス):

Drummer

Ends up mooching snacks and spare change off of other members

Has Phasmophobia

Mediterranean Jellyfish / Chichoukai Ibokurage / Cotylorhiza tuberculata

Nozaki Yuune (野崎幽音):

Lead Guitarist

Exceptionally gifted at guitar

Pretty quiet and shy, has a habit of accidentally sneaking up on people

Ghost Jellyfish / Yuureikurage / Cyanea nozakii

An overdone doodle from yesterday! I was hoping to do something fun with light but it ended up turning out sort of... eh...

School is just around the corner, but I... sort of want to make a post explaining the differences between commonly misidentified jellyfish.

While their Japanese names is a lot simpler to differentiate- but the English names are more misleading. And it makes me sad.

But um!! This is a teachable moment- and one that the Ite! characters would be perfect for using :). I’ve actually got two possibilities up rn ^-^.

First idea: The “Crown” Jellyfish, with the Cephea cephea and Atolla sp. I’d be using Kiseki and Masaru to demonstrate the differences :)

Second idea: The “Fried Egg” Jellyfish, with the Phacellophora sp. and Cotylorhiza tuberculata I’d be using Rankou and Helios to demonstrate the differences :)
