Twisted Wonderland headcanon:
Their equivalent of Pokemon/Digimon is Spectrobes.
Spectrobes is a Disney owned franchise so it's totally viable for it to be in Twisted Wonderland.
Plus I adore the creature designs and the characters!

I am a huge fan of spectrobes. Yeah it’s a bummer that I get the “what’s Spectrobes” or “never heard of it” but I get ecstatic when I find that rare fellow fan. But I’m getting off topic, my main point of this post.
I still get excited at fanarts, fanfictions, anything Spectrobes, and today I was just googling stuff for kicks aaaaand
THERE WAS A FRICKING MANGA!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’ve known they had books, I got them (and sad book 4 never got released) BUT A MANGA. I can’t tell you how happy I am to find this. I now have a mission. I can understand a lick of this at all. But you know somewhere out there SOMEONE has bought this manga and translated it. AND IM GONNA FIND IT
1/4 Update: ((I should be sleeping but that can wait for a moment)) so apparently the manga was from a magazine. 3 chapters, 10 pages each, no real English translated pages....it might be a dumb idea but I'm getting Google translate involve and I might translate these pages myself when I have the time

One of the saddest things in gaming is all the neat franchises who die from shifting tastes, corporate shenanigans, and especially from Generation shifts.
The immediate two that come to mind for me are Spectrobes and Fossil Fighters, who are a victim of all three. Which is really unfortunate because I liked the idea of reviving ancient elemental monsters for combat. Alas, my fossils will fight no more.

Why did i just found about this right now!? I know Spectrobes isn't exactly famous or remembered nowadays, and I wasn't really on the fandom because, well, i was a kid with no social networks when i was super into Spectrobes, but, still, this is awesome!!! I love it sooooo much omg! I wish Disney revived Spectrobes though

Sometimes I wish I could've played some of my bargain bin games back when I was a kid. Could've ended up with much more interesting video game based fears than my strong dislike of that on particular Wind Waker dungeon.

Disney has committed a lot of crimes, but their most terrible one is never rebooting Spectrobes

Disney (Almost) Made an Anniversary Kamen Rider
You remember during the 2000s where Disney owned Power Rangers? It wasn't a bad era in terms of what was put out, but maybe I'm bias because I grew up with it. Running from Ninja Storm to RPM, Disney had a troubling run with the show - the quality was good for a kid's show, but Disney did not like making it. It's not a secret that they were trying to bury Power Rangers, the show only continuing after RPM because it was bought back by Saban. It doesn't feel like a coincidence they sold back Power Rangers less than a year after buying Marvel Entertainment.
Tumblr media
And ever since, Disney has had no interest in Tokusatsu as a genre. You could argue the closest they ever came was Mech-X4, a Disney XD show about a kid controlling a giant robot to save his town.
Then rolls around the 100th anniversary. Tokusatsu is still as popular as ever in Japan and, while Super Sentai isn't as popular as it used to be, Kamen Rider has been going strong ever since it's revival in the Heisei Era.
If Disney wanna make money in Tokusatsu, it makes sense to put it in Kamen Rider.
Tumblr media
This is the Imagination Belt. It was released last month and, honestly, I'm glad I got back into Kamen Rider in time to see the strangest anniversary celebration yet. It was produced by Bandai and I won't pretend this is officially a Kamen Rider product - it's made by the same company, but that's not enough to call it that.
But it sure takes a lot of the beats!
As a person who has previously rambled about a non-existent canon surrounding a Sonic Screwdriver toy, I really appreciate that this gives me more to talk about inherently. Kamen Rider historically has been getting more and more Riders with every era of the show and this toy is no different - ten different Disney icons made into marketable... keys... how did they not do Sora-
Tumblr media
Nevermind, I'm glad they didn't.
The designs aren't great, I won't pretend they are, if you're a fan of Kamen Rider. It's clear the character designs were leaning closer to Kingdom Hearts (or even Spectrobes, if you remember that), so it's hard to judge them in terms of your typical Tokusatsu outfit. That being said, the consistency of the goggles does imply something about this uniform - if it's as important as the belt to be included on everyone, that's notable.
There's also a notable detail with the Imagination Belt itself - the Keys. Half of them are Gold, half of them are Silver, inherently splitting the team of Riders (Imaginators? Imagineers? Disney Adults?) in half. It implies simply that the goals of all the Riders don't align, that perhaps they're in a battle.
The Character Selection is also brought to mind. I imagine it's based on multiple factors, like popularity in that area and inclusion of specific brands... but that doesn't stop them being weird. Including specific representatives for Marvel, Lucasfilms and Pixar absolutely make sense - the choice of Woody is textbook. Iron Man equally makes sense, but the design has him look (personally) more like Lightning McQueen, which may just be a flaw of similar colour schemes.
But Grogu? Ya coulda picked anyone from Star Wars and... I get that The Mandalorian is probably the best received in pop culture... but the implications that he's getting his powers from a space baby is quite funny.
NOTE: The specific split of teams is Gold Keys belong to Mickey, Minnie, Simba, Woody and Iron Man - Silver Keys belong to Snow White, Moana, Tiana, Elsa and Grogu.
youtube
They also have built in power-up modes, specifically "Full Max" which seems to grant a power boost based on related characters - Mickey's Full Max gets help from Donald, Goofy and Pluto, meanwhile Simba has Timon and Pumbaa for example. But in your typical Tokusatsu, if your power-up involves other iconography, that tends to involve beating monsters. Are the monsters for "Imagination Belt" other Disney characters? Were Donald and Goofy evil beasts that had to be defeated? Did Woody have to beat Buzz Lightyear and the other Toys-Turned-Monsters? Minnie's Full Max is her with a cat, did Minnie Mouse have to fight a CAT?!
But onto the Lore Implications...
There's easily enough here to build an insane fanfiction, as you're about to see, but this does continue a point that I really appreciate about toys - kids, collectibles, whatever you want. You can tell your own story and it's not even difficult. Everyone has inherent creativity and, given a small amount of time, you can make any story out of any objects.
Case in point...
"Imagination Belt", to me, feels like Ryuki or Geats - it is a Rider War (Disney Adult War) where these two factions of "heroes" are fighting. It's probably against each other, Gold vs Silver, but you can imagine there are other monsters in between as your usual plot hooks.
The "Riders" of this world likely have their powers from raw imagination - passion for something that manifests in the Keys, giving them power in return. If the imagination becomes twisted.
Based on appearances, the Iron Man and Grogu Riders probably are leading both teams, the conflict started by the both of them and spiraling from there. Mickey is the obvious protagonist, Grogu looks like he'd make a good rival to keep the protagonist moving forward.
And there may be only ten official keys but Disney is an all-consuming black hole of creativity. There could be a lot more and you know it.

I miss Spectrobes man, that series was dope af
Back when Disney wasn’t you know, as fucked up as it is today. The designs were dope, the gameplay was just so nice to my little childhood adhd. Wish it had its popularity and name spread about. There’s no chance in hell it’d ever make it to Switch. But a dog can hope.

As I mentioned in a previous post I was going to translate the Spectrobes manga pages I found. It’ll take time cause: I got work, I’m using google translate so the translations are not spot on, but it’s enough to get me close to something so I may so my own interpretations (Maybe a heck of a lot cause holy heck when I started translating it was…yikes for some things). ANYWAY. I’ll post them here when they are done. Either page by page or reblog this post with the each new page, don’t know I’ll keep y’all posted.
Anyway, here is pages 1-3 of chp 1. Each chapter has 10 pages and there’s 3 chapters
