Blu-ray Special Interview

A cleaned up machine translation of a late 2018 interview. Please note that due to the nature of machine translation, though the blog runner has attempted to make sure the core message was kept, might not be wholly accurate in all places.

(Near the end of the interview there is a brief, slightly suggestive topic, for those who might like the warning)

Joker, the main character of the very popular manga/anime "Kaitou Joker," celebrated his birthday on December 11! To commemorate Joker's birthday, CoroCoro Online invited the director of the anime, Yukiyo Teramoto, the character designer and chief animation director, Miho Shimogasa, and a manga artist, Miki Aihara, who is a big fan of the work, to join us for a special round-table discussion! The content of the discussion is a must-see for fans of "Kaitou Joker," including secret production stories that will be revealed for the first time, recommended characters, introduction of favorite scenes, and more!

(List of interlocuters)

Yukiyo Teramoto (Director) Major works include "Doraemon the Movie: Nobita and the Steel Troops: The New Age" (director, storyboard). Miho Shimogasa (Character Designer, Chief Animation Director) Major works include "Demashita! Power Puff Girls Z" and "Battle Spirits: Shonen Toppai Bashin" (Character Design, Chief Animation Director). Miki Aihara (Manga Artist) Currently serializing "5:00 to 9:00" (dramatized in 2015) in "Cheese!" (Shogakukan); a live-action film of her book "Hot Gimmick" is scheduled for release in 2019. She is a big fan of "Kaitou Joker"!

--Please begin by introducing yourself.

Director Yukiyo Teramoto (hereafter, Teramoto): My name is Teramoto, and I was the director of the animation "Kaitou Joker". It has already been two years since the broadcast ended. I look forward to working with you today. Miho Shimogasa (Shimogasa): My name is Miho Shimogasa, and I was the character designer and supervising animator. I have been working on Joker-related projects until recently, so it doesn't seem like much time has passed. Miki Aihara (Aihara): I am Aihara, a fan of "Kaitou Joker". I am ashamed to say that it was right around this time last year when I saw the work for the first time. I started watching "Countdown Television (Episode 33)" on Kids Station, in which a boy in a wheelchair (Kyotaro Hayami) confronts Joker, and I was shocked to see so many good-looking boys in this anime! I was shocked. From there, I was hooked and watched the entire season on Amazon. The kids in the show are really cool!

Teramoto: Thank you very much. I am glad to hear that.

--I had the impression that the staff of the anime "Kaitou Joker" was assembled with a great deal of love. Could you tell us how the decision to make the anime was made and how the staff came together?

Teramoto: I was invited by the producers and other people I worked with on "Doraemon the Movie" and other projects. To be honest, when I heard about the project, I was nervous about what would happen. But when I saw the characters drawn by Shimogasa-san, I thought, "They look cool, this could work, this animation is going to be great!" I was really impressed. I was won over by her drawings. I am very grateful to have been invited to such a happy place.

--How did you feel when you were first asked to work on it?

Shimogasa: I had never heard of "Kaitou Joker" at the time, so I immediately read the original story. The original work was really interesting, so I thought I could make this with confidence. The original design was unique and very good, so I took advantage of Hideyasu Takahashi's design for the original work and added my own taste for the anime. If you take off the back cover of the comic book cover, you will find a lot of stuff, and it is fun to find important information written on the edge of the comic panels♪

Teramoto: Animation is not a stop-motion picture, it has to move, so at first the people on the drawing site said there were too many lines, and it looked like a lot of work. However, as we continued, the people on the production side were attracted to the work and the number of fans increased, and they came to us and said, "Please let me draw!" Everyone drew with love. Aihara: I really feel that when I watched the animation. Teramoto: For our part, we were really happy to see the scene getting more and more exciting. Incidentally, there is also an animator who took part in Takahashi-san's autograph session because they liked it so much.

--How was Takahashi Sensei involved in the project?

Teramoto: Takahashi-san is a very open-minded person, and he allowed us to work freely. Of course, the original work is very interesting, but we tried to make the most of it by asking him, "Is it OK if we do this a little bit here? He would say, "That's totally OK." As a creator, I really appreciated it, and when we were allowed to do what we wanted to do, the excitement at the site increased. That is why everyone was so enthusiastic about making the show.

--I'm sure that the love put into the work was also felt by him, and that's why he approved of the project.

Teramoto: That's right. I have already put a lot of respect and love into this work!

--What was your impression of the work from the viewpoint of the anime viewer?

Aihara: In addition to the underlying goodness of the characters, I thought the animation had a great tempo and the scenes moved from one to the next in a great way. Teramoto: Thank you very much. Aihara: I was amazed that you were able to fit so much fun into 30 minutes. Teramoto: Actually, there was a scene where we had to cut the ending because we couldn't fit it all in. Aihara: Yes. If you cut out the end animation sequence, it's going to be a long extra animation of about 90 seconds, so it's hard work. Still, it's amazing that you didn't sacrifice the story, or more that you prioritized the quality of the work. Also, the last episode of season 4 is memorable. The characters and production were really cool, and the content was jam-packed. Teramoto-san was in charge of parts other than directing, right? Teramoto: Yes, that's right. I was doing the storyboarding and directing, and I was thinking, "Oh, I can't make it in time, but I don't want to lose quality…" and I remember working really hard on the production.

Aihara: It was a very cool episode!

--What do you think is the reason for the large number of female fans?

Teramoto: After reading the original work, I wondered what kind of people were the fans, so I asked around. Then I found out that there were also other female fans, and I thought, "I see!" So I made it so that female fans would like this part of Joker, while at the same time keeping the goodness of the shonen manga in mind, so that everyone would be happy. I think the reason why the female fans liked it so much was because Shimogasa's drawings are so cute

--Shimogasa-san, do you have a favorite character in your mind?

Shimogasa: I love them all! I love them all - !!!!　I can't choose one. Aihara: They're all cool, aren't they? Shimogasa: What I enjoy drawing are the 'bad' expressions on each character's face. Oh, there was also this idea of Professor Clover having blond hair, which I wanted to draw. Aihara: By the way, did you create the original anime character, President D (leader of the mysterious organization "Devil Fang"), from the beginning of the design process? I was really surprised to see that Dump, originally fat, appeared incredibly handsome.

Teramoto: Although I had asked for a handsome design, when I actually received the first rough sketch (of President D) from Shimogasa-san, I thought, "Wow! I didn't expect it to be this beautiful!" I was stunned. Shimogasa: I drew 4 patterns of President D. I kept the lingering effects of the old dump in his eyes and clothes. One of them was chosen by the staff. Actually, I wanted to include the missing teeth of Dump, but that was too much, so I dropped it. However, I wanted to add the freckles that were on Dump, so I added them to the President D so that they were barely visible in important scenes. Teramoto: You can see them when he is crying, can't you? Shimogasa: Yes, when he was crying. Aihara: Great rare information. I see. Shimogasa: I also think the best part of Dump was the scene where he cries and says, "You're the only person I had to talk to!" …… I had dared to draw that crying face in President D and hoped the director would realize it, and she did just that. Teramoto: Perfect. Aihara: The crying scene was really cute!

--Do you have a favorite character, Aihara-san?

Aihara: Joker-san, I think. I like Phoenix (a phantom thief who manipulates flames. He is aiming at Hosshi, a mysterious creature, and comes after Joker), but I think Joker is really cool. The opening scene when he comes down from above and flips his cape is really cool. I tend to fast-forward through anime openings when I want to watch it in one sitting, but I couldn't do that with this one.

Shimogasa: I couldn't either.

Aihara: That's right, the notices change every time, too. (In the opening, the contents of the notice that appeared in the middle of the show changed each time.) Teramoto: That was fun, even for those who were involved in making it. Aihara: It was really a very nice production. It included lines related to that particular episode. It was also cool to go to the chorus one more time. Teramoto: There used to be an anime called "Aoki Ryusei SPT Layzner," and in the middle of the opening episode, there was a digest-like line for each episode. I liked that direction and thought it was interesting. I think "Layzner" was the inspiration for this piece. Aihara: I didn't expect Layzner. So that's how it was.

-- So, which character is Director Teramoto's favorite?

Teramoto: I like Silver Heart (Joker's mentor. He appeared in the first episode as a commentator). It seemed to be difficult to come up with a story for the commentary section each time, but all the scenario writers enjoyed coming up with ideas, and the scenario meetings were very lively.

Aihara: I was expecting Silver Heart's commentary, but instead, "What? This time we got Spade!" I was sometimes surprised.

Teramoto: It was also interesting to have a different person in the room every once in a while.

Aihara: It was really very detailed.

Teramoto: Also, although he may not be popular as a character, I loved Mr. Kaneari (a wealthy man who repeatedly challenges Joker). Aihara: Great! Around Mr. Kaneari, I was surprised that Kaneko, the beautiful secretary, was transformed into a super-tall commando killer (a powerful woman who participated in the "Bride Grand Prix" to determine Mr. Kaneari's wife). Teramoto: Actually, Commando Satsuko was not in the original work when we started working on the anime. So we gave Kaneari a secretary named Kaneko, who was original to the anime. Then, that strong character (Commando Satsuko) suddenly appeared in the original work, and she married Kaneari. I was so surprised. I wondered what to do with Kaneko's position. So, out of sheer desperation, Commando Satsuko emerged from Kaneko.

Aihara: No, but it is wonderful. Teramoto: Rather, Takahashi-sensei is wonderful for allowing that.

--Did Takahashi-sensei give you an immediate OK at that time as well?

Teramoto: He said, "That's interesting." Aihara: That's amazing, isn't it? Teramoto: He's too open-minded, isn't he? Shimogasa: Conversely, there were times when Takahashi-sensei would reimport elements from the anime. Teramoto: Yes, that's right. Like the design of the Sky Joker (*a large airship and one of Joker's vehicles).

Shimogasa: When I saw his work, I was surprised and said, "Oh my gosh!?" Aihara: Was the original Sky Joker originally designed differently? Teramoto: Yes, it was. But Mr. Takahashi liked the anime design very much, and during the serialization, the previous airship was seriously damaged, and the design was changed to the same as the anime one the following month. Aihara: Sensei's really cool. Teramoto: I was surprised when I was reading the original work. I was like, "It's the same as the anime!" (laughs).

--Then I would like to ask everyone, are there any times that are particularly memorable?

Teramoto: There are too many. Aihara: All times were good, weren't they? Teramoto: Yes, of course. The first episode, which set the initial direction, is of course memorable, though. Shimogasa: When I saw the first episode I thought "this is good !!!!" I was impressed. Teramoto: Thank you very much. I'm glad to hear it. Aihara: In the events of the first anime (in the manga), I thought that Hachi (Joker's assistant) was a bit dry. But in the anime, he is "Joker, you are cool!" I felt the same way as Hachi in the anime. Also, as the story progresses, I like the fact that Hachi's cooking skills make Joker fall in love with him.

Teramoto: It's cute how Joker gradually becomes unable to be without Hachi. As for the other episodes, "Traveling Jokers (Episode 20)" was really cool. Aihara: I understand. It is a story about Joker and Shadow (a phantom thief who looks just like Joker) who go back in time to the Edo period. The drawings were on par with those of a film version. Teramoto: I was on the production side, but I was really impressed. Shimogasa: I like "Traveling Jokers" too. The boiled flounder looks delicious..... Teramoto: Also, "Idol Stage" (*Episode 22 "Clash! Idol Stage") was also interesting. Silly stories are fun. Shimogasa: Then there was the final episode. Teramoto: It was great to end the episode with everyone happy. Aihara: It was really wonderful.

--What is the most memorable scene?

Aihara: There are many, but… the scene where Phoenix is captured and dressed in a tight black suit is really cool. Shimogasa: That scene makes your heart pound, doesn't it? Aihara: Yes, I don't know if I'm allowed to say this, but …… it's very erotic.

Shimogasa: When I saw the scenario or the storyboard, there was a scene where Phoenix was taking off (his mask and some part of his costume), and I was really happy when it was decided to draw that setting. Teramoto: No, I really like that scene. Shimogasa: I really like to apply it based on the basic settings. I can draw new costumes, but I also like to take off or remove something that is already on. I also really like jackets on the shoulders, or in the middle of putting it on, or just the shirt, or with the tie off, etc. I'm always waiting for a chance to draw that (laughs). Teramoto: Joker as a character is not very revealing, so just taking off a little bit of his clothes is sexy, isn't it? Aihara: Yes! It makes me a little excited. Shimogasa: By the way, I also wanted to draw Spade (*Joker's rival) without his coat. …… I never had a chance.

--The voice cast was also outstanding, wasn't it?

Teramoto: I used to think that female voice actors were supposed to voice young boys, but when I heard Ayumu Murase's voice during the audition for the Joker role, I thought, "Oh, that's him!" I felt it was the right person. The staff around me also agreed that Murase would be a good choice, and the decision was made. Incidentally, Hiro Shimono, who plays the role of Spade, was chosen because he and Murase's voices would not be in the same tone when they interacted, and it would be easy to tell that he is Spade just by hearing his voice. Aihara: Wow, I didn't realize that. Teramoto: As for other roles… I had a very strong image of Hachi, and when I said, "I'd like to ask Yumiko Kobayashi," it was decided. Aihara: So she was your choice. Teramoto: I'm very grateful. Aihara: It's a perfect fit. Teramoto: Miyuki Sawashiro, who plays the role of Queen (a female phantom thief who trained as a phantom thief with Joker and his friends and is the granddaughter of Silver Heart), is a very busy person so her schedule did not match at first, but something happened to open up and she joined.

Shimogasa: That's really great.

Teramoto: Misaki Hisano, who plays the role of Roko-chan (a phantom thief dog who likes Queen), actually came to audition for another character, but when I heard her voice, I thought, "Maybe this is Roko-chan." So I asked her to play the role of Roko with the lines from the original story. Then, the staff around me said, "Oh, that's Roko-chan," and we decided on her for the role. Aihara: Wow. That's how the role was decided.

--If there were enough episodes to animate, is there a story you would like to work on?

Teramoto: Of course there are. There are still many interesting stories left. If I were given the opportunity, I would like to do it. In the first place, there was talk of a Blu-ray version coming out, but it never came out, so I thought there was no chance at all. I was about to give up on it but then it finally came out, and I'm really happy. Aihara: And the number of pre-orders will increase the number of benefits! Teramoto: The cover illustration of the box is also very cool. They put so many characters on the box cover.

--Lastly, please give us a message to your fans on the release of the upcoming Blu-ray and DVD.

Teramoto: It might be a bit of a stretch for me to say this, but I think it's an anime that makes people very happy when they watch it. We also felt happy when we were making it, and it is a work that all the creators worked on with great love. I am sure that the enjoyment will be conveyed to everyone who watches it. It is definitely an enjoyable and fun work, and I would be delighted if you could enjoy it as many times as you like. Shimogasa: I think it is a very enjoyable work as an animation. Recently, there are many works that are too rigid, or do not allow the characters to be broken down, but I was able to freely draw a wide range of characters for Joker. It is a great feeling for me to be able to do such a work. I hope that the audience will enjoy the movement of the characters and the direction that only anime can provide. Aihara: Oh, um! Does it end on me? Then, let me make a slightly creepy otaku-like comment ……. The animation is fluid, and as Shimogasa-san said, the characters move a lot, so I want people who have an oblique view of children's animation to watch it and think, "This is how children's animation is supposed to be done." I want people to enjoy the animation because "Kaitou Joker" is so amazing and different. Adults can really get into it and be hooked. That's why I want not only children but also their parents' generation to watch it. I will continue to watch it. I'll watch it a lot! --Thank you very much!

Introduction

First Name: Mihori (With a Biological name, Marya) Last Name: Inoue (On her father's side, it's Dostoyevsky- but they all inherited their mother's surname) Nickname: Miho, Mimi, Krosechnyy Fedya, and Malen'kaya Printsessa

Gender: Female Age: 16 years old (Currently.) Sexual Orientation: Aromantic Pansexual Birthday: June 22 Life Story: Mihori resides in a household situated in Russia with her parents and siblings, being the youngest of five offspring. Her familial setting is rather unique as her eldest sibling serves as the beacon of the community, proclaimed as a deity and worshipped by the townsfolk. Upon attaining the status of a religious icon at the tender age of 16, Mihori's older brother fell prey to the exploitation of the local bishop, causing the Inoue household to be engulfed in chaos and neglect their children, leading them to be raised by a homeschool teacher or a babysitter. The Inoue family emerged as a figure of authority, causing neighboring settlements to be envious, resulting in the decision to assassinate the heads of the household. Ultimately, they escaped to Japan, their mother's nation of birth, and assumed responsibility for the Inoue residence, which was destined to be inherited.

Appearance Although Mihori inherited the purple hair genes from her paternal family, she detested how it clashed with her vibrant red eyes, causing her to become self-conscious about her appearance. This led her to dye her hair a pitch-black shade, to make it conform to her fierce red eyes. It can be noted that she happens to be pale like her other family members, with the reason being the anemia that runs in the family.

Eye Color(s): Mihori has flaming red eyes in the shade of carmine with a pinch of tangerine-hued orange. (Don't stop me- this is her only Y/N moment because her eldest brother always outshines her) Hair Color: A slightly vibrant purple shade Highlights: Her only highlight is her older brother being the fucking highlighter. Hair Style(s): Long Balayage Waves and Middle Part, Hollywood Waves. Romantic Long Loose Updo, Classic Low Bundle, Perfect Braided Chignon, Braided Messy Side Bun, and lastly- Sock Bun

Skin tone: AS PALE AS HER PARENT'S DEAD BODY (JKJK she is just pale enough because of anemia) Body type: Apple Body (Some call it an Inverted Triangle) Height: 5'3 ft. or 160 cm Weight: 90 lbs or 40.8 kg About her: Personality: While known for her charming smile, she is also noted for her cunning demeanor, which she employs to ensure the safety of her loved ones. Despite her cunning nature, she possesses a gentle and caring heart that has won the affection of those who have gotten close to her. She can be quick to dish out revenge on those who harm her loved ones, but this is a result of the circumstances she was raised in and her innate empathy. Aside from her manipulative streak, she is a lively and spirited individual who struggles with anxiety and uses her charming smile to mask her inner turmoil.

Good Habit(s): One of her notable traits is her propensity for cleanliness, as she dislikes messiness and disorder. She has a habit of finishing her assigned tasks early and even going above and beyond, delivering them a day or two days earlier than the intended deadline. Possessing an innate ability to maintain harmony within a group and soothe tense situations, she is a master of diffusing hostility and offering sound advice. Her love for listening and providing a sympathetic ear is unrivaled, as she enjoys comforting and validating those who confide in her. She is a compassionate and understanding individual who exudes calmness and warmth.

Bad habit(s): Although Mihori's passion for tidiness is well-known, there is an unfortunate flip side to this virtue. In an excessively messy environment, she can become overly stressed and irritable. She even risks descending into an unstable mental state, as her overwhelming desire for order can push her to the brink of madness, causing her to engage in detrimental behaviors such as self-injury. One of her most frequent forms of self-harm is digging her fingernails into her legs and scratching them until they bruise, or using a sharp object to slice open the padding of her feet. It may not seem like it, but Mihori has a tendency to indulge in risky behaviors, specifically in gambling and manipulating people for personal gain. However, her calculated approach to these activities is not immediately apparent to the casual observer. By leveraging her beauty and intelligence, she has been successful in extracting information from others through her cunning methods.

Like(s): In addition to her passion for cleanliness, Mihori enjoys receiving positive reinforcement, which is a rare occurrence in her life. She thrives in environments that are calm, serene, and aesthetically pleasing, such as libraries and cafés. Her unwavering devotion to her loved ones extends to making time for them, even at the expense of delaying her tasks. Mihori values quality moments with her friends and family, particularly since her adult siblings are often caught up with work. She takes immense pleasure in assisting those around her and even goes so far as to clear out her schedule to accommodate loved ones. Despite appearing reserved, she has a fondness for spice and enjoys exploring the flavors of different cuisines.

Dislike(s): Despite her docile demeanor, Mihori harbors a deep-seated dislike for those who impose their principles on others. However, her hatred for disloyalty burns brighter than anything else. She will use her expertise in collecting information to keep her loved ones close by, ensuring their unwavering allegiance to her. On the other hand, she will not tolerate anyone who sexually assaults another individual and will not hesitate to take action against such perpetrators. She is compassionate towards murderers and thieves but draws the line at rapists and molesters, which she despises with every fiber of her being. No amount of benefit could persuade her to associate with such individuals.

Hobbies: Mihori's hobbies are simple yet varied. She is captivated by the art of gardening, enjoys whipping up delicious dishes in the kitchen, maintains a spotless home with her cleaning expertise, and finds solace in the peacefulness of painting. She even plays the violin which she finds very soothing. While seemingly mundane, she has an unusual vice that involves temporarily stealing and returning wallets with a self-made piece of art. Despite it being illegal, this impulsive desire stems from her incessant need to stay active and occupied at all times.

Allergies: Although it is commendable that Mihori does not suffer from any allergies, we must bear in mind her lack of sensitivity to the nuances of flavors. While she has the ability to differentiate between the basic taste profiles of sweet, sour, bitter, and savory, she doesn't experience these flavors with as much intensity as others may do. This has resulted in her having a somewhat muted palate that can make it challenging to savor the unique flavors in various foods.

Fear(s): Mihori suffers from Eremophobia, also known as the fear of loneliness or isolation, as well as Automophobia, which is the fear of being alone. These psychological conditions can make it difficult for her to spend time alone, whether in crowded or secluded areas. As a result, she usually prefers to surround herself with familiar and trustworthy people who can offer emotional support during challenging moments.

Strength(s): Mihori appears to be a highly motivated, independent, and efficient individual who is passionate about maintaining a clean and tidy environment. She is an excellent problem solver with extensive social skills, and she values her relationships with her loved ones. She is also a skilled gambler who can be quite ruthless when she sets her mind on something. Although she is not the best at expressing emotions, it's clear that she deeply cares for her friends and family, making her an excellent ally to have.

Weakness(es): Mihori's self-harm tendencies and impulsive behavior are major weaknesses of her character, as these behaviors can result in significant harm to herself as well as her loved ones. Additionally, her lack of self-confidence may hinder her from pursuing her full potential, as she often seeks validation from other people. Additionally, her fear of isolation and her tendency to hide her emotions from others may result in communication difficulties or difficulties in forming deeper connections with those around her. It's worth noting that she has a habit of gambling which can be a weakness if it becomes addictive.

Special Powers/Abilities: Mihori's supernatural power known as "A Devotion's Shackle," allows her to blindly obey every command of those she trusts, no matter how ill-intentioned they may be. Whether it's flying, aging, breathing underwater, or jumping into fire, she will do exactly as they ask, so long as she has faith in them. This ability is solely determined by the level of trust she holds towards an individual, and not necessarily based on whether or not they are an inherently good or bad person. (Please make sure she stays away from Mori)

Extra: Additionally, she is often prone to intrusive thoughts that can cause chaos and harm to those around her. Despite these challenging aspects of her character, Mihori remains a complex and intriguing figure with Talents and Dreams Ambition/dream: She always wanted to become a Detective or an Ambassador Occupation/Job: School Library Assistant (Previously), School Canteen Chef's Apprentice (Previously), Manager of the Teikokou Academy's Soccer Team (Currently), and a Free-Lance Model or Artist (Part-Time) Best Class(es): She excels in Literature, Geography, Home Economics, and Science. Worst Class(es): She finds the subject of Personal Development and Mathematics to be uneasy to comprehend. Family and Friends Parent(s): Sergei Dostoyevsky and Amaya Inoue, with an apparent Father-figure- Kageyama Reiji

Sibling(s): She preferred not talking about them.

Relative(s): Their Maternal Relatives are not interested in taking them in, so they have nothing much known about their relatives on their Mother's side. Their Paternal Relatives however are either dead or exiled for Blasphemy because of the weird Cult issue.

Best Friend(s): Gouenji Shuuya, Fidio Aldena, and Lui Shirosagi

Friend(s): Nenita Evangelina Natalie Estella Dimataan, Kino Aki, and Raimon Natsumi

Crush(es): Mihori appears to have developed strong feelings of affection towards Gouenji Shuuya and Sakuma Jirou, but her feelings towards Jirou may simply be a product of confusion and/or a misinterpretation of events. Additionally, Mihori's previous experiences with betrayal and abandonment may contribute to attachment issues that could further complicate her relationships with others.

Pet(s): Mihori seems to have an unconventional selection of pets, as her list includes both a Persian cat and a white mouse, who surprisingly cohabit peacefully. She even has a Dwarf Crocodile, which was a gift from her older brother, and a tiny Blue-tongued skink, gifted to her by her twin brother.

Rival(s): Despite having a friendly personality, Mihori appears to have developed an intense dislike for Fuduo Akio and Endou Mamoru due to their perceived noisiness, while she has a more personal disagreement with Otonashi Haruna, with their rivalry escalating to the point of outright hostility. (Not really that hostile, but they had to a certain extent.)

Enemy: She finds Aphrodi's neck to be something she could wrap her hands tightly- for some reason.... (Never look at their interactions in a sexual way, they are both minors- but with major loathing towards each other... It's actually only one-sided.) Extra Scent: Vanilla and Petrichor Blood type: B+ Outfit(s): Mihori strikes me as someone who values comfort over style, although she does strive to present herself in a tidy and well-kept manner. She seems to prefer simple, practical clothing options with an emphasis on comfort and practicality rather than stylishness. She may opt for soft fabrics and neutral colors that can be easily mixed and matched, allowing her to quickly assemble an outfit that suits her needs for the day. Despite her preference for comfort, Mihori appears to be a person who values quality over quantity and is likely to invest in a few high-quality clothing items that she can wear often rather than a large wardrobe of inexpensive fast fashion. Mihori's fashion style seems to be more in line with a soft girl aesthetic, featuring delicate, flowy clothing in pastel colors and fairycore, which incorporates nature-inspired elements such as flowers and mushrooms. Although she prioritizes comfort and practicality in her clothing choices, she also seems to appreciate playful and feminine styles that reflect her whimsical personality.

Accessories: Mihori's choice of accessories is quite simple, limited to hairpins and necklaces. She is often seen wearing gloves to cover up the distinctive burn marks on her hands, which can be quite jarring to look at. Despite her preference for minimal accessories and soft clothing, she has a unique and distinctive visual style.

Makeup: Mihori's desire for a soft and minimalistic appearance seems to extend to her makeup routine as well. She seems to prefer soft and natural makeup options that enhance her features without overwhelming them. To that end, she may use light or natural-colored eye shadow, blush and lip gloss, but only in moderation. While she prefers a fresh-faced look over heavy makeup, she may incorporate heart or star stickers on special occasions to emphasize her playful and whimsical personality.

Scars: While the majority of Mihori's scars are emotional or mental in nature, she also bears the physical scars of burns on her fingers from a traumatic event in the past. These physical scars are a constant reminder of the night her family had to make a daring escape.

Tattoo(es): In the upcoming events of the plot, Mihori undergoes a healing process and overcomes her past traumas, including the death of her parents. With the support of a compassionate friend, she learns to cope with her emotions and finds peace within herself. As a way of celebrating this newfound sense of serenity, Mihori decides to decorate her burn marks with tattoos of beautiful floral and butterfly patterns, transforming a reminder of her past suffering into a symbol of her growth and resilience.

Jewelry: Despite her preference for a soft girl aesthetic that emphasizes comfort and minimalism, Mihori has a deep appreciation for beautiful and authentic jewelry. This penchant for shiny things likely stems from her mother's profession as a jeweler and designer, which helped cultivate Mihori's discerning eye for quality and unique pieces. While she may initially wear these gorgeous gems and baubles sparingly, she finds joy in gifting them to others or enjoying their glittering presence from time to time. At the end of the day, Mihori's love for jewelry is a true testament to her unique and vibrant personality.

Piercing(s): Mihori's interest in getting ear and tongue piercings is something she keeps to herself as a personal secret. Despite her desire for body modifications to express her individuality, she cares deeply about her older siblings' opinions and does not wish to disappoint or worry them. Furthermore, she is very cautious about any permanent changes to her body and wants to be fully informed and committed before moving forward. Therefore, she continues to research and consider the repercussions of such piercings, always weighing the pros and cons of each option before making a final decision. (Emo or Goth Mihori when?) Favorites Theme Song/Quote: From a more conventional standpoint, Mihori's choice of theme songs would likely include popular tracks such as Molly Kate's "Prom Queen" and Vicetone's "Angels," both of which she apparently identifies with. She also seems to have a deep association with Lana del Rey and Melanie Martinez, perhaps due to their unique styles and musical themes. Her affinity for these artists and songs underscores her unique personality and personal taste, reflecting her interest in the beautiful and the unconventional. (She is more Lana del Rey coded just in case anyone asks.)

Favorite Food(s): Mihori's fondness for the Sili Strawberry Ice Cream can likely be traced back to a singular and memorable experience of trying the spicy and sweet dessert for the first time. It was introduced to her by a Filipino friend, and it left such a lasting impression on her that she has since declared it as her favorite food. The mixture of a hot siling labuyo and strawberry is truly a rare and novel combination. The fiery and fruit-forward creation was a one-time experience that left a lasting impression on her taste buds, earning a permanent spot in her list of favorite treats. Favorite Drink(s): Mihori has a particularly strong affinity for cinnamon milk tea, with her fixation on the flavorful and aromatic beverage seemingly bordering on obsession. The creamy and comforting drink strikes a chord with her, providing a much-needed lift to her spirits whenever she needs it. Whether it's on a cold winter morning or a lazy Sunday afternoon, the satisfying sweetness and warming cinnamon flavor of her beloved tea remain a constant in her life, satisfying both her physical and emotional needs.

Favorite Color(s): Mihori secretly admires the colors green and yellow, but rarely shows her preferences in her clothing or styling choices. She may occasionally wear purple, white, or black to show respect for her family's color palette, but her true love for the shades of green and yellow remains hidden. She may choose to incorporate her favorite colors in other ways, such as through art, jewelry, or home decoration, but she is unlikely to reveal her preferences to others. Mihori seems content to appreciate the beauty of her favorite colors in private, using them as a source of personal joy and inspiration.

Favorite Animal(s): Mihori's heart flutters at the sight of majestic and intimidating creatures such as reptiles, and her love for such creatures knows no bounds. She is known to be fascinated by the imposing size and strength of predators like tigers and wolves, and once openly expressed her desire to own one to her brothers, who, knowing her better than anyone, quickly shut down such an idea, opting instead for a safer and more manageable option such as a dwarf crocodile or Blue-tongue skink. Though not the same as owning her dream pets, Mihori nonetheless loves the exotic and unique creatures she's able to keep, appreciating them as much as she would any other.

Favorite Number: Mihori's fascination with superstitions is no secret, and her cultural background is no exception. She has a special affinity for odd numbers, which she considers to be representative of good luck in her Slavic culture. This preference for numbers can even be seen in her behavior, such as how she always takes one extra step or one extra bite of food, with the hope that such an action will bring her good fortune. It's an interesting detail that sheds light on Mihori's eccentric personality and further highlights her deep connection to her cultural heritage.

Favorite Season(s): Mihori has a fondness for the season of autumn, which has a calming effect on her. The changing colors of the leaves, the cool breeze, and the comfort of a warm cup of coffee or hot cocoa are all aspects of autumn that she absolutely adores. The season makes her feel peaceful and content, providing a sense of stability and security that she enjoys. For Mihori, autumn is a time of reflecting on the past year and embracing the new beginnings that the season brings.

Favorite Holiday(s): Holidays may not be at the top of her list, but Mihori does have a soft spot for certain cultural and religious celebrations, particularly Russian Orthodox traditions. Whether it's Christmas or a wedding, she looks forward to the festive atmosphere and the sense of togetherness that such gatherings bring. While holidays aren't necessarily her thing, she certainly enjoys taking part in meaningful cultural customs and traditions, finding them to be rich in history and tradition. This appreciation for cultural diversity is just one more way that her fascination with the world around her shines through.

Favorite Time of Day: Mihori has a special fondness for the late hours of the night and early morning, which she sees as a prime opportunity to focus on her personal projects without any distractions. The peaceful stillness of the "Blue Hour" just before dawn, when the sky is still dark and the air is quiet, is a moment she truly cherishes. She often stays up late, savoring the solitude, and uses this time to work on her creative endeavors, such as writing or drawing. It's a magical time of day when the world seems to be at rest and Mihori revels in the atmosphere of calm and quietude that accompanies it.

Theme: Tranquil Twilight Dreamscape

Mihori's favorite times of the day are the quiet and serene moments of midnight and twilight. These peaceful intervals are a time for productivity, self-reflection, and introspection. Mihori values the time she can devote to her work, her creativity, and her personal development without interruption. She often works through the night, finding her flow and harnessing her best ideas when the rest of the world is asleep. Mihori's creative endeavors thrive in this tranquil twilight dreamscape, where she can let her imagination run wild and bring her visions to life.

Okay, I'll be honest, I've never actually seen Beyblade and I am sorry

Oh, no, it's probably a pretty fair assumption XD I haven't seen Beyblade in yeeears, I just remembered loving it as a kid - I just thought that it was an amusing and somewhat endearing message, as it was what my Yu-Gi-Oh loving older brother would always tell me, when we were younger! Funnily enough, they both aired at around the same time in the UK.

Beyblade's TV show comes from the Manga series published in CoroCoro to sell the Beyblade toys, whilst Yu-Gi-Oh! was published in Weekly Shonen Jump, with the toys coming later.

CoroCoro may be recognised by some of my followers as the publishers of the main Splatoon manga; they mostly make toy and videogame tie-ins, aimed at younger children ^^ (though, they also published Doraemon! Eeeventually, after it got passed around to different childrens' mags, all owned by Shogakukan.) Weekly Shonen Jump, as I'm sure I dont' have to explain to many of my followers, is aimed more at teenagers, and tends to cover original properties - One Piece, Hunter x Hunter, Jujutsu Kaisen, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Naruto, Bleach... I can go on. (... Shogakukan Inc, which publishes CoroCoro, are the founders of Shueisha, which publish Jump, so it's less of a comic VS comic as much as it is a 'this one's for young kids, this one's for older kids, this one gets the game and videogame tie-ins, this one gets the big boys!)

.. That's a long answer, to say - 'you're probably right.' XD

Plot:

Beyblade Burst (2016–17)

The story revolves around Valt Aoi and Shu Kurenai as well as his classmates at the Beigoma Academy school in Japan. When not studying, the close friends are obsessed with their Bey tops, creating a school bey club and challenging each other to battles at their Bey Stadium. The friends eventually become rivals as they compete against each other in a competition to claim the title of Japan's top Blader. As Valt Aoi wins the title he goes on to compete in a club to get better and train to become the top Blader.

Beyblade Burst Evolution (2017–18)

Valt Aoi, who hails from Japan was a top competitor in the Japanese Championship, is scouted for the prestigious Spanish team "BC Sol" and heads out to Spain. When he arrives in Spain, he runs into some old friends and meets some new ones who end up accompanying him along his journey. Valt's first battle in Spain leaves his bey, Valtryek, with an opportunity to evolve, making it stronger. Valt and his friends set their sights on becoming the World Champion; however, in order to qualify, they must first take the European League by winning team battles against other teams from around the globe. After the victory of BC Sol in the World League, Valt competes in the tournament for the International Blader's Cup.

Beyblade Burst Turbo (2018–19)

Two years after the International Blader's Cup, the story focuses on Aiger Akabane, a "wild child" that grew up in nature. After battling No.1 Blader in the world "Valt Aoi", he became inspired to become the No.1 Blader in the world, along with his beyblade, Z Achilles. He aims to fight strong opponents in an effort to become stronger himself. To defeat Legendary Blader Valt Aoi and become the World Champion, Aiger begins his journey.

Beyblade Burst Rise (2019–20)

Legendary Blader Valt Aoi has been training the next generation of elite Bladers at Spain's BC Sol. One day, rookie Bladers Dante Koryu and Delta Zakuro witness Valt unleashing his newly evolved Gamma Bey, Sword Valtryek. To their surprise, Valtryek radiates a golden light as it rockets around the stadium. Inspired by the limitless possibilities of this "Hyper-Flux" state, both Dante and Delta seek the same bond with their Beys.

Dante and his partner, Ace Dragon, set off for Japan, the birthplace of Beyblade. But the path to glory won't be easy; plenty of tough competitors and Gamma Beys stand in their way, among them some of the best to ever let it rip. Dante soon realizes he'll have to do whatever it takes to deepen his bond with Dragon.

Do Dante and Dragon have what it takes to overcome these challenges? And will they ever achieve Hyper-Flux? Here begins the story of Dante and Dragon's rise to the peak of the Blading world.

Beyblade Burst Surge (2020–21)

From high atop the Blading world reign the Blading Legends, a select group of Bladers who set the standard to which all other hopefuls aspire. No challenger yet has succeeded in breaking through their ranks.

A legend of legends, Valt Aoi hosts an exhibition match featuring a revolutionary class of Bey: "Lightning Beys". Inspired by the battle, two unknown brothers, Hyuga and Hikaru Hizashi, issue a challenge: armed with their solar Beys Hyperion and Helios, this unlikely duo is going to topple Beyblade's ruling elite.

As the Hizashi brothers' challenge envelops the world's Blading legends, a new tournament is born to determine who among them is truly the best. In the middle of this mayhem, there lurks a unique Blader shrouded in mystery.

Will Hikaru and Hyuga be the spark that ignites a Blading revolution? With their solar Beys in hand, the brothers are ready to begin their own legend of growth and adventure.

Beyblade Burst QuadDrive (2021–22)

The story centers on Bel Daizora, the leader of the Bey graveyard "Phantom's Gate". Bel, who holds Destruction Belfyre, declares war on Bladers across the world. With Ranzo Kiyama and Bashara Suiro, their journey unfolds as Bel advances to becoming the Dark Prince.
