I Realized I Cannot Talk About Any Recreated Fight Scenes Without Talking About The Cursed Protagonists

I realized I cannot talk about any recreated fight scenes without talking about the cursed protagonist’s ultimate rival.

Not mentioned in previous posts, the protagonist’s biggest rival and friend in all this is the one cursed with a duck body like a swan. They both grew up in the same village together and the Swan took the same route as the protagonist in escaping. The Swan is mad that the protagonist left her and hid. 

She found herself sponsored by a rich family and goes to a rivaling private school. She is equal in strength and skills, but lacks formal training unlike the protagonist. The Swan doesn’t really care about it anymore as she takes up ballet, piano, and dance in her time.

The Swan’s debut episode is after the protagonist becomes a huge hit and defeats the biggest jock at their school. She catches wind of it and comes to check it out under the guise of wanting to confess to a boy. Upon seeing the protagonist, she is overcome with rage and doesn’t hesitate to attack them, no matter which form they are in.

The protagonist looks pretty much the same, but most differences is in the facial structure and body. As a male, the protagonist is taller, more muscular, and has a sharper jawline. His hair is slightly duller from the lack of care and straighter. As a female, the protagonist is slightly shorter, slimmer, and has very soft features. Her hair is a bit curlier, fluffier, and shiny from all the products.

Once attacked, the protagonist is overcome with fight-or-flight and doesn’t recognize the girl in front. Many people are booing them for attacking a girl in their male form, but its just an instinctual response. Not wanting to make a bigger fool out of themselves, the protagonist just restrains the Swan and gets her to talk. Realizing the Swan is their childhood friend who got abandoned, the air becomes awkward and the protagonist has to let her go. Angrily, the Swan leaves and is embarrassed about what they did.

Been watching Ranma 1/2 lately and I had the idea for the spinoff I made for it awhile back. I really want to talk about some episodes I really like and see how to add my own characters to it.

To recap, the protagonist is pretty neutral about their two sides. They prefer to be female and doesn’t really care when people call them. It only becomes an issue when they deliberately wanted to present themselves as female to their school and after they accidentally transform, everyone thinks they’re male.

They escape to the United States and live with their distant relatives under the disguise of a transfer student. They have a younger girl cousin and a male cousin who accidentally finds out they’re able to switch between male and female. He suggests she use her male form to go to school. She heavily refuses as she just wants to be an average girl.

On the first day of school, she only has her tribal clothes and just borrows her cousin’s clothes to blend in. The pants had to be hemmed up and the shirt is a bit too big where it had to be tucked in. 

Right before she could enter her class, a vase from the upper floor falls and she manages to only dodge the vase, not the water inside it. She changes into her male form and is introduced with a neutral nickname. 

Since she’s not fluent in English and pretty flustered from the transformation, she comes off as cool and mutely handsome. A lot of the guys don’t like her and the girls are too lovestruck. She manages to make friends with another cool and handsome guy, his sister, and a nerdy photographer who is apart of the newspaper club in extension. The photographer is trying to find the latest scoop and may have burned a few bridges for the hottest newspaper article.

On the same day, they’re challenged in PE by a jock. He’s a showoff and wants all the ladies. He’s not afraid to put down others and people he sees as weaklings like the protagonist. They go on separate tennis teams and the protagonist wipes the floor with them. They become lifelong rivals from there.

Been watching too many retro shows and I just really like how they show aliens (plus outer space) in the early 2000s. I think doing aliens and space again wouldn’t do well in this time, but who cares. A lot of inspiration from hello kitty, urusei yatsura, marvel, and zenon.

I would want my alien species to have translucent skin. It would be almost clear but is shimmery with speckles of some sort of metals. Antennas on top of their head. Their species don’t usually wear clothes, but traditional garb has a metallic sheen on it and is similar to zenon’s. 

The antennas are more for looks than survival, but they use it to communicate telepathically. They touch antennas with one another and can transfer thoughts. If the person is powerful enough, they can brainwash the other. It is not common to want to brainwash each other though.

They are a peaceful species. They are a community and never had a need to fight. Powers will be discussed later

I’ll be revealing the names of the characters in the Ranma 1/2 spinoff. Bear with me. I cannot come up with clever naming.

The protagonist renames themselves Joni Starling when they immigrated to America. Their last name is taken from their cousin. Their old name was Chinese and abandoned because they aren’t apart of a tribe anymore. She is cursed with Spring of Drowned Man. When they’re introduced to the class as male, they go by Jon. When they’re disguised as their female form, they name themselves Joanne. Her best friends just tend to refer to her as Jo just in case.

Their love life is complicated and traumatic. Their first kiss was stolen by a guy they don’t like and their second kiss was stolen by a girl they hate. They don’t know if they like girls or boys as their body keeps changing between the two. What they do know is they may have small feelings for her best friend.

Her cousins are named Zane and Anya Starling. She’s very protective of the two. Zane knows a few basic marital art moves and consistently keeps up with his archery regime.

Her best friends are Nathan and Sammy Phantom. They’re the coolest twins in her grade and go along with whatever Jo gets up to. They’re total opposites as Nathan doesn’t speak too much and Sammy is a chatterbox. Jo has a small crush on Nathan and is in constant peril about him finding her secret.

Their last friend is Luke, a member of the newspaper club. He smells something off about Jo and is constantly on guard around her. He gets a weird feeling about Joanne. 

Their classmate is named Spencer Baxtor, a football jock who hates losing. He cannot stand Jon and will always challenge her to whatever they do. He feels irritated but intrigued by Joanne.

Jo’s main rival and childhood friend is named Meg Moonflower. Having also changed her name and run away from the tribe, she is cursed with the Spring of Drowned Duck.

Meg’s best friend is Madison, a member of the gymnastic club. After witnessing the fight between Jo and her rival, she starts learning martial arts too. She really likes Joanne more than a friend.

Meg’s rival is named Emily, the leader of the rivaling gymnastic team. After being defeated by a girl like Joanne, she gets a crush on her. She is used to getting what she wants and is pretty powerful when she’s serious. 

Meg’s crush and Jo’s biggest admirer is Brett Thunders. He is a part of the basketball team and is in love with Joanne. He despises men and doesn’t like that Jon is getting in the way.  

Jo’s other rival is nicknamed Nick and he is cursed with Spring of Drowned Tiger, making him look a bit like a sabretooth. He follows Jo from China and has sworn to defeat Jon. He doesn’t know Joni is female and just wants the cure. He doesn’t really care if his opponent is female, but doesn’t see them as challenges. He really likes Madison. 

Another rival is named Miranda and she is cursed with Spring of Drowned Snake. She was vacationing in China when she got pushed into the spring. She saw Joanne’s face while drowning and wants revenge. She falls for many guys such as Luke, Jon, and Zane, trying to chase after them. 

The monkey rival is nicknamed Ana and she is cursed with Spring of Drowned Monkey. Having passed by and been defeated by Joanne in China, now she wants to have endless fun with her new toy in America. Luke piques her a bit but she’s too blinded by her addiction to having fun.

The ram rival/friend is renamed Adam and he has been cursed with Spring of Drowned Ram. His deadbeat father abandoned him in China and he came to America to work hard to pay off all the debt from the Chinese mafia. He works for Emily’s family and doesn’t like when Jon accidentally sabotages his job offers. 

I really like the tea ceremony martial arts. I didn’t enjoy how it was really used, but it was interesting. Didn’t enjoy the episode though.

I liked how they used matcha powder as smoke bombs. Using the obi wrap as handcuffs was interesting. Using the roses as darts was amazing.

I think this could be some items and a style good for the ram rival. 

Since its still April and we dedicate this month to Danny Phantom, its time to write about the 150+ year sequel. I wanna try writing something a little weird, maybe a little dark. (im horrible at writing so here goes) It will be about Sammy and her little crush Edward 16. Something a bit reverse.

To recap, Sammy is a halfa still learning about the Human World. Edward 16 is the son of Johnny 13 and Kitty who likes to break any rule he can and vandalize the town with his best friend Shadow. 

To summarize, its Valentines Month in Amity Park and Edward has been feeling lonely. He looks at his parents and sees love (a very unhealthy version). He goes out and sees couples. He just cannot escape it. He holes himself up in the Ghost Zone for awhile, making his parents worry. In an attempt to make him happy, Kitty goes to her friend Ember and gets her to spell Sammy into loving Edward. She’s rotting in the Ghost Zone and Johnny thinks this might’ve been the wrong move.

Johnny knocks on the door to his son’s room, disregarding the obscene noises he hears behind it. Kitty is currently out for a girls night so this is his only shot of this. He hears the door creak and sees a sliver of his kid.

“Pops? You know I have someone over right now.”

“I know champ but we have to chat now.”

“Baby, I’ll be in the living room!” 

The door shuts, leaving him with his shirtless son. He cringes at the whining before taking his son downstairs.

“What is it pops? I’m really busy right now.”

“I know but hear me out. This isn’t right and I think you need to let her go home.”

“Home?! This is her home. This is our home!”

“Son, sit down. You know that girl is a halfa and you’re too busy sucking at her face to even feed her!”

“Then I’ll just give her something now-”

“No, stop it now. She’s not your pet. She needs to go back to the Human World and live her life with the other humans. You can’t keep her here.”

“You and Ma stay here! Why can’t I keep her here! I’ll feed her, give her water, and let her do what she wants!”

“Are you letting her do what she wants by keeping her stuck here?”

Edward quiets down. After a long pause of silence, he goes to the kitchen and sends Shadow to fetch his mom and Ember.
