“I made my courage explode and got it” — The bond between Isami and Smith SHINE FOREVER * (Or The Honeymoon Edition after the wedding <- semi-joking)

Some excerpts from Masami Obari interview on Animedia May 2024 issue

Q. What kind of children were Isami and Smith? Also, which one was a crybaby (or a spoiled brat)?

There was no description of Isami's childhood in the series, but I think it was probably Isami who was a crybaby. This is not a canon setting, so it’s my imagination.

Isami could have an older brother. But that brother died for some reason, and I thought Isami “had to be strong. And I thought of having a backbone that I volunteered to (become) a self-defence officer because I wanted to be useful to people.”

Looking back on the whole story, I think the structure of the story was “time-leap thing.” Wasn't it quite difficult to produce a scenario, such as consistency?

… It was like Mr. Koyanagi (Keigo) of the series composition team forced me to take (laughs). However, the landing point was, because I wanted Isami and Smith to talk about making miracles, so I prioritised drama over logic. (italics mine) From episode 1 to episode 12, I aimed for a work that you can enjoy watching it again and again.

…

In fact, one of the foreshadowings is the ED video. It may look like an interesting video at first glance, where Isami and Smith are singing half naked, but in fact, that video contains the message that “You can make a miracle by taking off everything and becoming one of the two of you.” In the final episode, Smith responded to Isami's call and returned to the same dimension, but that is the miracle that their friendship had caused.

…

First, I thought about the ending, and then I made various things while calculating backwards, so it happens naturally. For example, in the first episode, there is a scene where Smith said, “I wanted to be like him” while watching Bravern, but that is rather Bravern, (he’s) talking about Isami who’s inside him (italics mine). If you look back after you understand the previous story, I think the meaning of the scene will change again.

On Lewis Smith’s turquoise green eyes.

That's right. For example, in the scene where Smith reaches out to the light, Smith’s eyes turn green for a moment. That's the same eye colour as Bravern. Also, I think Smith’s (eye) colour was green in the last episode, but I was making it together with that.

Animage May Issue Cover Features Isami and Bravern

Hello! Is there any chance you could do Nahanananggal? One of my favorite designs in the series :3

Day 18 - Manananggal (Request)

Race: Femme

Alignment: Neutral-Chaos

April 15th, 2024

Admittedly, I had no idea what I was getting into with this design. Having never played V, the game in which she first appears, I wasn't expecting to find much from a demon this late in the series, yet the Filipino influence in V gave birth to a strange, freaky, and frankly sick looking demon.

A witch from the Philippines, Manananggal is a strange, almost vampire adjacent bit of mythology typically used as a boogeyman of sorts. The strange folklore surrounding this being goes that it's a witch who takes the form of a beautiful young woman at day, yet shifts into a hideous form at night, typically infiltrating homes and villages to feed when the sun goes down on clueless families. Her name means remover, and that is exactly what she does, as the witch will typically target families expecting a baby and, when the sun goes down, will suck the blood of the fetus with a long proboscis, typically killing it.

My personal theory about this is that Manananggal may be a sort of explanation for stillbirths, as the idea of killing a baby while still in the womb coincides heavily with a stillbirth, as well as an early pregnancy, as some myths say that the witch may deliver the fetus far earlier than expected as well.

Typically in Filipino folklore, when it turns to night, the Manananggal will separate its torso from its chest, sprout wings, and the way to kill one is also connected to this hideous transformation.

At the left-behind torso of the witch, in order to kill a Manananggal, one must spread cloves of garlic or salt all over it. When the witch is to return when the sun rises, this will apparently remove the spell, causing the monster to burn alive in the sunlight, and be unable to rejoin with its body.

In terms of design, Manananggal is very faithful, appearing with a separated body from her torso in the sheen of a beautiful woman. The batlike wings and proboscis-esque tongue are very common in depictions of this monster, and overall, she has a very unique yet faithful design. Unfortunately, I cannot give a gameplay overview on account of not having played V yet, but this demon is shockingly well designed, and connected to a very underrepresented bit of mythology in the SMT series. 10/10 for me.

Now, I have to wonder, would a Manananggal find a lucrative business in abortion?

Re watching ep 12 of Bravern and saw this

The slutty pose, the hands on the hips, and the fact that this was 100% Isami! What a perfect show!

I just realized that Shelley and Akira are echos of Lewis and Isami! One’s American and the other is Japanese. Shelley has big boobs. Lewis has big boobs! Akira is tsundere and Isami is tsundere!

They’ve got lesbian moments!
