The 07 Ghost story itself is already good, but for some reason I don't have a special attachment to any of the characters. Yes I was interested in Frau's good looks and also Ouka as the only female character who was highlighted. But that still doesn't make me love them so hard. It was only when Karu/Ea appeared that I found a character I liked.

I even prefer Karu and Teito's dynamic. Watching their interactions is really entertaining (I haven't read the part before Raggs God House yet so I don't know if Karu was ever commit acts of violence towards him). I even prefer the Teito-Karu duo to Teito-Frau (sorry Frau), and my heart is still crying the second time I see him gone *sobs*.

One more thing that makes me interested in Karu is that he also dealt with hatred the way Teito experienced too. I'm still struggling with that problem to this day. Is this what makes me care more about Karu than the other characters? Idk.

I didn't think too much about this before, but after re-reading 07 Ghost, I am very grateful to the two mangakas because by using flashbacks in the story, I can feel the presence of characters who are no longer there, like Krom. I only realized this when I re-read the part of Emperor Wolfram's story, and I felt that even though Krom had died, all the beautiful memories about him, his love for Teito and also the teachings he gave his son would always be remembered & could be felt by all of us. Salute to Amemiya & Ichihara!

By the way, when he grows up, will Teito be like his father? Krom is a hella fine man. Why does Teito become a Pope tho? If he's just a king I'll guarantee myself to simp him so hard lol XD

Thoughts on Teito Klein

The first time I finished reading the 07 Ghost story, I admitted that Teito was not an annoying person. He wasn't that bad and was even willing to sacrifice himself so that no more problems would occur because Verloren's scythe was still within him. But after re-reading the manga, I gradually grew a truly deep respect for Teito. I mean, he's been through a lot - his people became victims of war, his father was killed by his own uncle, he became a slave and was always tortured. Then he lose his friend. And even though he has gone through his darkest times, Teito is finally able to get through it all, still living & becoming a more mature person. I've only felt how difficult it is to get past my hatred for some people along with other problems, that alone have troubled me for some time. After understanding how unpleasant it was to be in that phase, my respect for Teito grew even higher. He's not an ordinary good guy - he's a saint and he deserves everything good in his life.

hello i'm so happy i found this blog! i'm really late to the party but i've been reading 07 ghost and i absolotely love it! if you don't mind answering how would you describe teito's personality?

Hello, dearest anon! So sincerely sorry for replying so late, I was really busy. I'm super glad to hear that you're enjoying 07! Hope you're here to stay-- let's try to expand our tiny little community as much as we can!

Man, that's actually a pretty heavy question. I don't even know where to begin! Warning you now, I'm gonna go on a lot of tangents and potentially talk about some dark stuff. you asked for it!

Also, major spoilers ahead. Just in case.

As someone who's been observing people's thoughts on 07-Ghost for a very long time, I definitely think that Teito is a very misunderstood character. I’ve seen countless people (obviously not everyone!) depict him as just some gloomy, angsty teenager, and I genuinely think that couldn't be further from the truth. I guess people are fixating on the way he was at the beginning of the story, at the academy? I mean, he was a slave with nothing remotely good going on in his life aside from having one (incredible) friend, what did you expect? Sunshine and rainbows?

Personally, when I think about Teito, the first thing that comes to my mind is his sweetness. Teito is a kind, gentle boy who wants nothing but the best for everyone around him-- it's just that he's been through, and is currently going through, a lot. Throughout his life he stumbles and falls countless times. He loses hope and falls into despair, but always finds a way to get back up and look forward. He's a boy who was raised with an incredible amount of love, and although those lovely memories were stolen from him, his family's affection lives on through his actions.

Despite having been heavily abused literally every day for a decade, he's still able to have the mental strength to choose to be respectful, helpful and nice to everyone he meets (unless he determines that they're not a morally okay person. Or just "annoying" like when he first meets Hakuren I guess). He's hesitant to get close to people, because he feels like he's not worthy, like he'll just drag them to danger. Because of his experiences with bullying and such, he automatically shuts himself away from people in general.

But once he feels comfortable and safe around someone and opens up, he's pretty sociable! He likes listening to people's stories, seeing their points of view, and is overall a very pleasant person to be around. Needless to say, he’s also very, very good with kids. And when he actually befriends someone, there's nothing he won't do for them. He'll drown in dark magic, let a demonic puppet choke him, punch a soul and set a greenhouse on fire, steal aircrafts, let an evil death god's scythe consume him, sacrifice a wing, literally walk through the doors of hell. His loved ones mean everything to him. He values their well-being even more than his own life. In the original Japanese version of Kapitel 44, when he's just found out about the whole Pandora's Box situation, he doesn't say he's scared of dying or of the world ending-- he says he's scared of "stealing everyone's happiness". Nothing matters more to him.

But I'm not suggesting that putting others before you is always healthy. It isn't. Teito isn't a healthy person. He's spent his entire life wholeheartedly believing that he's trash. With Mikage's help he begins to understand that he does have worth, but he can never truly shake the feeling that he doesn't deserve to be around him. He feels like he can never be his equal.

In Like the Sky I Saw One Day, when he sacrifices his life for Mikage and sees his worried reaction to it, when he holds all those paper cranes that Mikage made one by one, he slowly starts feeling more comfortable with the idea of being Mikage’s friend. He starts feeling a little less guilty. But, you know, when Mikage eventually dies, the guilt he felt even when he was alive is intensified. As dark as it is, Teito places zero value on his own life at this point. He's straight up suicidal. He slowly gets over this mentality thanks to the help of the bishops, but it never truly leaves him. During the bishop exam, the "darkness of his heart" is literally a manifestation of his suicidal thoughts.

When he learns how the Land of Seele works, his first instinct is to sacrifice his life just to bring back Mikage's. He eventually understands why this thought process is so wrong and dangerous thanks to the mother Fyuulong, but his process of learning how to love and respect himself actually goes on through the entire duration of the story. Self-acceptance is a tough battle. In the Oak arc, when his memories are wiped and he's assuring Kohaku that Mikage's death wasn't his fault, we see that he is able to logically understand that dying was Mikage's choice and that he wouldn't want any of his loved ones to feel bad for it. He just can't accept it when he thinks he himself is at fault. His own self is one of his worst enemies.

So a good portion of the "anger" that readers see in Teito stems from his self-hatred. That’s obviously not all though. We all know the things he’s been through. He has every right to be angry at the world for putting him through hell, at his “owners” for treating him like garbage when he was a slave, at Shuri and his friends for being so hostile towards him, at Ayanami for killing his family and best friend, and at Landkarte for... basically ruining everything ever. And believe me, he is furious. Mikage specifically instructs him not to take revenge, yet despite that, Teito still obsessively wants to. He desperately looks for excuses to convince himself that he isn’t actually going against Mikage’s wishes, but he is. His anger is, at times, stronger than his respect for Mikage and his foresight. Throughout the course of the story, other ideas and desires overshadow this “revenge” idea of his, and the bishops gently sway him away from those thoughts, but they never entirely leave his head until the very end.

We see the stories of a lot of characters, but these parts of the manga aren’t only there to give those characters depth-- they’re also huge parts of Teito’s overall development. When he sees how Frau handles the whole Bastien situation, he starts to understand that, at one point, you just have to accept tragedy. When he loses the Eye of Michael but is guided by the bishops to keep going forward anyway, he learns how to move on from his mistakes. By getting to know Hakuren he gains a new friend, his second one ever, and it’s the first time he starts to move on from his grief and to open himself up to new opportunities. When he witnesses the Hausen family’s love and longing for Castor, he sees the value of life, which eventually helps him start to value his own. When he’s furious at Capella’s mother at first, but then understands what truly happened after listening to her, he learns that there are multiple sides to every situation. Thanks to Ouka, he gets to witness a perfect example of someone truly accepting themselves, which is extremely sweet considering she was only able to do it thanks to his help. And he gets a good lesson on forgiveness when he loathes Lem for the way he treated Lab but then sees Lab openly forgive him. When Ouka doesn’t understand why Lab would want them to set the evidence on fire, Teito is the one who explains that he’ll do it in order to ensure this never happens again. In my opinion, exposing Lab’s uncle’s deeds to the world would fit Teito’s previous idea of “revenge” better. In this situation, he sets his obsession on righteousness aside, which I really don’t think he would do back in the first arc. It’s views like this that lead him to eventually save Landkarte and Ayanami. He doesn’t forgive their actions, why should he, but he believes that they deserve to be given a second chance, to start over, to repent and to achieve their potentials as good people. And he’s right, so in the end, more people end up happy thanks to his decisions.

Okay, let’s go back to talking about some lighter stuff! He's confident and calm when he needs to be ("Oh we got kidnapped and we're stuck in a giant refrigerator and my best friend's reincarnation is missing? No worries, I've got this") and he's aware of his capabilities-- he even downplays them sometimes, not because he thinks he isn't talented, but because he feels like he isn't as good as he needs to be. He’s extremely hard-working, let’s not forget that he graduated as the top student!

He’s also, you know, pretty confused? He was extremely sheltered his whole life, so he doesn’t exactly know how most things work. He doesn’t know what balloons are. He doesn’t know what money looks like. He doesn’t know how to properly present a sandwich. He doesn’t know that it’s kinda weird to casually greet someone by coming in through a window and telling them that you scaled the building. When he’s walking with someone he’ll just randomly leave their side and start Naruto-running on a wall nearby. Goofball.

Thanks to his understandable lack of knowledge about the world, he’s also deeply fascinated by it. He’s very curious and loves learning new things (His main goal is to learn the truth about the war and the world! His first name literally means truth!). He has a lot of belief in people’s kindness, so he assumes that most people generally mean well (Hakuren literally has to specifically tell him not to go off with or take stuff from people he doesn’t know). He treats people the way he would like to be treated, and he generally thinks that most people do the same. Ugh, he’s just so adorable you guys.

He’s very caring and generous, but he’s also quite judgmental. He has certain ideas of how people should behave, so when someone doesn’t exactly fit that framework, he gets frustrated. When he first meets Frau, he immediately rejects literally everything about him, declaring him “untrustworthy” and “weird” just based on the way he acts and the things he’s interested in. I’m not saying that Frau is "perfect” or even “normal in any sense of the word” (I love my deeply flawed boy <3) but holy heck Teito, calm down a bit! He, of course, does eventually understand and accept Frau, and they become incredibly important for each other.  

Last but not least, as we all know, he’s extremely emotional. His aforementioned anger makes him pretty short-tempered. It’s really easy for him to just explode and start yelling, especially if he’s talking to another impatient, irritable person like Hakuren and Frau. Some readers seem to view him as a crybaby because he cries super easily (He cries/tears up about 63 times in 100 chapters. Yes I counted) but, as a crybaby myself, I think it’s quite healthy that he’s comfortable with letting his sadness and frustration out. He’s so comfortable in fact that he can’t understand why others don’t experience their emotions as openly as he does.

Wahrheit Tiashe Raggs is kind, strong, polite, humble, confident, sensitive, brave, warm, sincere, devoted, goofy, trustworthy, generous, caring and passionate. He’s also stubborn, self-conscious, childish, pessimistic, distant, judgmental and impatient. So much can be said about him. I could go on and on and on for hours. Anyone can interpret and analyze him in any way they wish, but to me, his most prominent personality trait is that he has a pure, clean heart, and he always holds onto it.

#yup #totally agree with the part that he's awesome #and yes he has all the right to be furious to ayanami and landkarte #07 ghost #teito klein

07 ghost Bunko-ban comic covers

I learned yesterday that these exist,and... they're so beautiful ;-; but all of them were very grainy and I couldn't find higher quality versions anywhere,so I digitally enhanced them,it took 4+ hrs :) I'm posting them here because I don't know where else

Also I learned this because I was trying to buy the 07 ghost Children side story book,I ordered it,but this...this was a revealation!

07-Ghost - Name Meaning Megalist

07-Ghost features many eccentric names, but as weird as some of them may seem at first glance, they’re mostly quite meaningful! This is a list I’ve been trying to compile for a while now, but I can’t say it’s quite complete. Please do let me know if you have any ideas or catch any mistakes! I think 07′s naming conventions are really interesting, so I hope you enjoy this list!

Teito

Wahrheit (GR): Truth -> Referencing Teito’s main goal of “finding the truth behind the war”.

Tiashe: ?

Raggs: ?

Teito (JP - 帝都): Imperial capital -> If you combine the “Tei” part of Teito’s name with the “Ou” part of Ouka’s, you get Teiou (帝王), which means “sovereign”! Cute little easter egg.

Klein (GR): Small -> Referencing his small stature.

Frau

Frau (GR): Woman -> Weird choice for a name for sure. Regardless, it does sound a bit like “Faust”. According to legend, Faust sells his soul to the devil to use his powers, which is similar to what Frau did with Verloren’s scythe.

Sichel (GR): Scythe -> Yes, it’s not “Zehel”. Also, it’s written as 斬魂 in Japanese, which means “killing soul”, possibly referencing Sichel’s ability to cut people’s ties with misfortune.

Labrador

Ilyusha (RU - Ильюша): Elijah -> Diminutive form of the name Ilya (Илья). This one is pretty interesting. It’s most likely a direct reference to Dostoevsky’s Brothers Karamazov, in which there is a sickly young child named Ilyusha. Labrador appears to be influenced by the protagonist of this novel, Alyosha. Believe me, I’m not making this up, there are so many similarities between this book and 07! Amemiya and Ichihara even directly reference the novel in Battle Rabbits. Also, Elijah is a prophet, like Lab.

Kraut (GR): Herb -> Referencing the Kraut house’s association with herbs and other plants. Also means “cabbage”. Unfortunately also a derogatory way to refer to Germans, but that’s most definitely not intentional.

Labrador (EN): A type of tea -> Yes, yes, dog. But this actually is a rather fitting name, seeing how labrador tea is often used to make medicine. Also, this name was likely chosen because when shortened as “Lab,” it’s “Rabu” in Japanese, which also means “love”. But you probably noticed that already.

Profe / Prophe (EN): From “prophet” ->  Written as 預魂 in Japanese, meaning “soul of prophecies”.

Castor

Xínglù (CN - 行路): To travel -> Referencing his desire to travel with Lazette.

Hausen (GR): To dwell (negative connotation) -> He wasn’t very happy living in the Hausen House, was he? And yes, “Hausen House” is hilarious.

Castor (LA): Beaver -> From Castor and Pollux in Greek mythology, in which one twin dies and the other shares his life energy with him to keep him alive, referencing what Castor does with Lazette.

Fest (GR): Firm -> Referencing the firmness of the bonds they create. Written as 繋魂 in Japanese, meaning “connecting soul”.

I don’t want this post to cover even more of your dashboard, so you can find the rest of the names under the cut!

There’s a fic on fanfiction(.)net that I’ve kept tabs on for years to see if it’s been updated or not. While I’m no longer even in the fandom it’s written for, it just has one of the greatest storylines I’ve ever read. Last time it was updated was 2011.

The other day, I decided to reread the entire thing and leave a very in-depth review of what I thought of each chapter. I also mentioned how I started reading it when I was 13 and am now 21, but always came back to see if it was ever finished because I loved it so dearly.

Today, said author sent me a private message saying that her analytics showed that the story was still getting views even after all these years, but no one ever bothered to leave reviews other than “update soon!!!”, so she never felt motivated enough to finish it. She said that me reviewing every single chapter with lengthy paragraphs made her cry and meant the world to her. She also mentioned that she felt encouraged to write the two remaining chapters needed to complete the story and that she would send me a message the night before she updates the fic.

I’m literally sobbing. I’m so excited :’)

Please always remember to leave a review when reading fanfiction!!! It means a lot to a writer.

Need a Beta Reader or Editor

Does a writer need to pay someone to be their beta reader? Or is it for free? I'm currently working on my KHR x FGO fanfiction with Alaude and Skadi as the main characters. But since the first day I write this I've been wondering if I've gotten Skadi's personality correctly or nor, and I still do. Now that it's been 11 chapters and my worry is still there, I guess I need someone who can help me to point it out. Anyone's interested?

For my work, you can open it here.

Been long since I read things about FGO in here, but what is going on with that game? Adding Tiamat is already something, though she's an Alter Ego so I'm not complaining. But making Beast class servant summonable? And only having like two events for so long?

I still can't see the bigger picture, but I'm wondering if this change would lead to something better or not.
