#zexal astral

[the-last-panqueque]

Bathing in the cosmos. 🌌

Porque Astral de YGO! Zexal es mi bebé, decidí dibujarlo!!! Se acuerdan por allá hace unos años que había galaxias en todo? Jajaja, pues aprendí a dibujarlas pero cuando lo logré pasó de moda TwT, pero ya no me importa! >:v así que hice este dibujito porque mi Astral bebé se merece un fondo así hecho con mucho amor! Osea, es el alien más beio del mundo UwU, y con una florecita roja porque Yuma, ajá. También publico un zoom porque siempre le pongo un montón de detalle a cosas que ni se ven XD.

En mi Insta voy a estar publicando el timelapse, en caso de que alguien le interese 👉👈. En fin, espero que les guste!!!

" I see you."

The Astral from the power swap art. I just call him 'Dark Astral'

For the character ask meme!

ASTRAL MY LOVE!!

What I love about them: SO much!! Gorgeous character design, I think about just how effective his design is all the damn time, he’s the perfect example of ‘ethereal beauty.’ I can only imagine how much more effective his design would be had his hair been more ‘flowy’ with better animation. But Ygo thrives on detailed still images and just look up one picture of Astral and you’ll just see- here, I’ll do it for you

Also a nonbinary legend. He/she/they take the crown.

I’ve always loved the trope of inhuman being discovering humanity for the first time, I love how well Zexal was able to execute how he changed over the course of the series- From a frankly emotionless brat who always had some snarky condescending comment say, to a genuinely kind person with some agency of his own (some, we’ll get into that.) I loved seeing each emotion he experienced, and he’s just great and underutilized despite being the most important person in the series (we’ll get into that)

What I hate about them: He was not utilized enough! It’s not his fault, it's the executives and such, but rewatching when Astral (spoilers) was genuinely disagreeing with Yuma and finding it hard to see himself going down the same path as him and trusting him again (which is huge because Astral got to a point where he trusted Yuma unconditionally and it blew up in his face bad,) what could’ve been used to voice their differences and speak up for himself more just…Did not happen. All of Astral’s thoughts stay within his head. 

He gets shoved to the side a LOT for someone who is a floating plot devise and the entire reason the story is even happening. It’s been about 12 years and Astral is still viewed as an extension of Yuma in a lot of the official ygo merchandise. I love their relationship, but Astral needed to be more independent! Narratively and just in general. 

Favorite Moment/Quote: I had to go back and get it, subbed episode 48- “I have no idea when I will vanish, but you have a future and infinite possibilities. Thus, I wish to leave behind the proof of my existence in your mind” (I believe dub said ‘heart’ instead of ‘mind’, both work beautifully)

Astral completely excluding himself from having a future, resigning to disappearing without a trace and no one will remember him but Yuma…and that’s all he wants out of his life. It is so damn sad that he just sort of resigns to his existence being a fickle and meaningless thing (once his mission is over) but his innocent hope of at least one person remembering him cementing itself in his friend’s grief-addled mind just aaaa! He’s just got this air of sadness that’s so !! 

What I would like to see more focus on: Astral was created for one purpose only, and when that he succeeded in his mission, it’s implied that there’s just nothing after that. That he’d just be used up, dead and gone. He carries this sort of instinctual desire to self-sacrifice because that is what he’s made to do and I’m always screaming at the TV screen, just begging him to think about himself and gain a desire to live!! Screw these people who made you to fix their own mistakes! You deserve to live, Astral!

What I would like to see less focus on: Uhhh not sure really, maybe less of him just living and breathing through Yuma and more of him being his own person. 

Favorite pairing with: Oh that’s easy, It’s [REDACTED] But on something I can talk about, I genuinely really enjoyed writing Goldenshipping (Jey x Astral) when you commissioned me and whenever I see the fanart I go 👀👀

Favorite friendship: Astral and Yuma are iconic (and obvious.) For a more unconventional one, the little friendship Astral and Haruto had was so genuinely wholesome (too bad those characters both aren’t really focused on at all) 

Astral teaching this traumatized child how to eat with chopsticks and smiling fondly at him when his instruction works?? Fucking beautiful. I cried. 

The fact that Astral was willing to give all of his numbers, his MEMORIES, to Kaito in order to save Haruto should Yuma find that the better solution. Amazing.

NOTP: Literally cannot think of any except maybe Eliphas because as much as that man denies it, that IS HIS SON 

Favorite headcanon: Should Astral become human or just be able to live on Earth (away from his planet that used him and also away from toxic amounts of chaos energy that wE KNOW GENUINELY HURTS HIM TO THE POINT OF PASSING OUT?? MAYBE HE SHOULDN’T BE AROUND THAT??) I genuinely believe he’d make an amazing dueling teacher 

He already taught Yuma how to duel and it’s something he’s good at and still likes. I can picture him getting tons of students and, more than half of them are there because they have a lil crush on him. 

I’d be his student lmao

I like to think that Astral reminds Yuma of his mom. There'll be particular times, like when Astral scolds him for getting himself hurt, or rolls his eyes and says 'nice try' when Yuma makes excuses for not doing homework, and Yuma will suddenly get teary eyed because his mother would say the exact same things in the exact same ways and he misses her so much.

At first Astral feels guilty for making Yuma sad. Then he realises that no, he can use this to help Yuma feel better, and he'll descreetly learn how Mirai used to be with Yuma, and incoperate that, like Mirai would give Yuma forehead kisses when he'd wake up, so Astral began sometimes doing the same thing, and he learnt some of Mirai's lullabies and would sing those too.

Yuma calls him 'mom' half sarcastically and half literally, and Astral finds this hilarious and also kind of adorable.

#zexal #ygo #zexal astral #yuma tsukumo #astral adopts yuma #i swear at least the dub should have had yuma sarcastically calling astral 'mom' #or dad #because i swear half the time astral sounds like a tired parent

Had a conversation with a friend about the levels of Co-dependency of each Yu-Gi-Oh Partner Duos and these are the rankings we landed on. 

#I love how Ai and Yusaku's arc is the exact opposite of Atem and Yugi's #like those two were completely fine and independent for two whole seasons #then took a stability nose dive in s3 #Codependency Speedrun World Record #Just barely eek out a win over jaden and Yubel because Jaden has coping skills #jaden is hard carrying that duo #yugioh #ygo #yugioh vrains #yugioh gx #yugioh zexal #yugioh dm #yugioh atem #yugi mutou #astral yugioh #jaden yuki #yubel yugioh #ai yugioh #yusaku fujiki #yuma tsukumo #soltis ai #ai soltis #my art

"Yuma... When people grow up, they usually end up throwing away something that matters to them... But... don't you go and throw away... that power to believe in people, and that heart that never gives up... Don't you dare throw 'em away."

"Sh-Shark..."

"See, I would've liked to see the future you guys get going myself... but it doesn't look like I'll get to."

"Hey!"

"Kotori... Don't take your eyes off this idiot. Thanks, Yuma... Astral... My friends for life... I'm glad I got to have one last great duel with you two. Later..."

The Zexal animation material mega-archive is now available! Click HERE to download it (8.48GB) or click HERE to browse the files on Google Drive

This is a collection of every sheet I've been able to scour from the Internet or purchase and scan in myself for the time being. Huge thanks to Tessie for helping me name and figure out a lot of the sheets! More trivial info under cut

In case it needs to be said, there is no need to credit me if you use any of these sheets for anything - they're not mine! I'm just an animation fanatic doing a little archival! (And a lot of these are scanned by people other than me anyway!)

This collection includes every sheet that features anything notable. A lot of sheets look very similar (for example, shading guides are just base character sheets with added shading) but for archival purposes they're still included, even if they're largely the same. Every reference sheet is named for easy browsing, but if I've made a mistake anywhere, please let me know!

I'll still try and collect more sheets as I keep checking if any go up for sale on sites like Mercari, but I offer no guarantee that I'll have many more scans to offer anytime soon (it is costly!)
