(Based off of this MV, which I’m still obsessing over.)
This is an interpretation/AU of Jailbreak’s ending, made mainly so I can A) stop being so devastated by it and B) stick my own ocs in the Jailbreak world.
I’m not fully satisfied with the ‘after crash/rescue’ design, but it’s a start.
***************
WORLD: A post apocalyptic version of Earth. The animals have been mutated into strange creatures, and the plant life has had… varying reactions to the fallout.
The place Kawasemi and Kuina are in is part of a stretch of grasslands. It’s a bit similar to the American Great Plains.
On another part of the continent is a highly toxic jungle.
A lot of inspiration from Miyazaki fantasy landscapes.
CIVILIZATION: The dome cities are each under the control of a tyrannical police force. There are multiple ones scattered around the landscape. The cities occasionally trade with each other for things like weaponry or metals.
Raw supplies from the “other place” arrive in guarded shipments. Civilians and most officers are not allowed to leave the city, but a certain few are assigned to ensure the shipments come and go smoothly.
***************
MY OCS:
Skyler, 15 - a young scout for the scavenger group that rescued Kawasemi. She’s not very physically strong, but her endurance and agility make her useful for scouting areas. Skyler is serious, levelheaded and somewhat curious about the dome cities.
No one knows where she came from. She just showed up one day with almost no memories about herself.
Uses a blade as a weapon and has excellent eyesight.
Often the only braincell holder in the room.
Julian “Jet”, 16 - the grandson of the architect who built much of the dome city’s current infrastructure. Both his parents are dead of a “mechanical accident”. An aspiring mechanic who fixes and modifies the weapons of the police force, as well as designs new ones. He’s cheerful, brash, and makes friends easily.
Due to his orange hair, he somewhat resembles Kawasemi.
Jet isn’t actually loyal to the police. He just does his job because he likes being a mechanic.
He does not wear a blindfold because it’s generally a bad idea to fix delicate machinery blindfolded.

I honestly don’t have coherent plans for this AU. If you’ve got any suggestions, questions, etc or would like to discuss this, feel free to message me or send an ask!
Also tagging @dkniade , thought you might be interested!
Back then, we used to talk about our dream
From atop of this cage,
we would look down upon this garbage town
So now, I’m gonna press down on this rusty throttle
with all the strength
I can muster and break through this reality.
After 3 episodes of nonsense, "One Chance to Breakout" presents the first good episode of Lupin the 3rd, playing on the actual concept of the characters with plenty of comedy and an amusing twist.
Hey, hi, look what I've drawn, I know you adore Datsugoku, and for the last six months I've been doing nothing but drawing these two :D (Please talk to me, I have found all the people in my country who love datsugoku and I want more)
Six months— such dedication whoa
That sure is a drawing of Kuina leaning very close to Kawasemi wow. The sketches of the two referenced from their concept art… the folds and details on Kawasemi’s clothes especially are so nice. Feels like I could get a sense of how tight or loose the clothes might be. Also the vibrant orange colours stand out against the blue in the fourth artwork. It feels like they’re trying to rest during an intense moment.
May I ask what the Russian handwriting says?
For the last sketch, it’s like his blindfold’s movement is suddenly stopped by how stiff his pose is, in a momentary feeling. The perspective and the intense expression really adds to it.
I miss thinking about them sometimes; thank you so much for showing me your art. Do you have any headcanons about them, or thoughts about the song/music video in general?
“When something disappears, something is born. In Buddhism, life and death are the same thing.”
“Samsara” is a Pali & Sanskrit word that literally means "wandering through, flowing on", wherein the term connotes "cyclic change" or, less formally, "running around in circles." It is therefore also translated as 'reincarnation'.
Ancient Indians believed in reincarnation, or rather took it for granted. Therefore, the Buddha also thought it was natural and taught on the premise of reincarnation. And the purpose of the Buddha's teaching is for us to escape from this world of samsara (namely, liberation/enlightenment: Ref).
There are six realms of samsara as conceived by the ancient Indians. They are listed in order of increasing suffering as follows:
World of Hell (naraka), the world of the most suffering. Hell means 'underground prison'.
World of hungry ghosts (preta), a world suffering from hunger pangs. Becomes a demon with a swollen belly. A world where those who have committed the sin of greed are reborn.
World of animals (tiryagyoni), including birds, beasts, fish and insects. There are about 3.4 billion species.
World of warlike demigods (asura), Asura is a demonic species. A world where asuras live and fight all the time, causing constant suffering and anger.
World of human beings (manushya), in which human beings live. It is plagued by the fundamental sufferings, the four and eight afflictions, which are unavoidable in human life.
World of gods or celestial beings (deva), Heavenly beings can fly, and the world is full of pleasures, but here too there is the suffering of old age and death.
