This Is The Gymnastic Episode. I Loved This Episode From The Original That I Had To Keep It. The Swan

This is the gymnastic episode. I loved this episode from the original that I had to keep it. The Swan and the protagonist decide to team up for once instead of fighting.

When the Swan gets to her private school, she is ambushed by her good friend from the gymnastic club. In tears her friend tells her about another private school that has been sabotaging the district’s gymnastic teams. Without good funding, the gymnastic club cannot report the super rich school’s gymnastic team and is left with members sitting out the competition coming up. 

Her friend begs her to join and with great reluctance, the Swan agrees to her good friend and helps to find a third member to participate. With no other options, the Swan goes to the protagonist’s school and asks the protagonist to join their gymnastic team.

The protagonist is confused by this. They aren’t apart of a gymnastic team nor goes to the same private school, along with the fact they’re registered as a boy. The Swan waves them off and says they can make it work. Begrudgingly, the protagonist agrees to help.

The three girls meet up to train and after a tiring session, they are ambushed by the leader of the gymnastic team from the super rich private school. They manage to get her to leave temporarily, but the Swan feels there is something else more to the visit. 

On the day of the competition, the Swan’s friend mysteriously disappears with the message of being too constipated to join for the first round. The Swan ends up locked in a storage closet and got mop water on them while trying to escape. Luckily, they were able to find a vent and try to climb their way out. Unluckily, the gymnastic team’s leader found her and got her leg chained up.

With no other choice, the protagonist is left to defeat the evil ringleader and end her winning streak. The battle goes just like the anime since I cannot describe fight scenes well. In the middle of the fight, the opponent has the protagonist chained up to her friend. They both have to work together to defeat the girl, but it’s hard to fight with chains and not being coordinated. 

The protagonist’s cousin suddenly comes out and douses the two in a lot of hot water, giving the Swan enough time to get handed some sports outfit and join in for the fight. The protagonist fights on her hands to get the Swan enough time to counterattack and they occasionally switch off. In the end, they were able to stay in the ring because of the chain and get the opponent to fall to their feet.

The ice skating episode in Ranma 1/2 is one of the best. I shall talk about my spinoff’s take on it. 

While ice skating with his 3 friends, the protagonist is mocked by two pro figure skaters. The protagonist’s handsome crush and best friend stands up for him. The male pro skater recognizes him though. 

The protagonist’s friend used to be a famous hockey skater before quitting due to a concussion. The pro skaters mock them worse and even challenges the protagonist’s friend to a skating competition. With a hurt pride and wanting to stop the torment, the protagonist’s best friend agrees to it. He is now panicking because he doesn’t know another figure skater who can help him.

The protagonist feels sorry for him and agrees to help him look for someone. Again, the protagonist doesn’t know anymore else so she asks her cursed Swan friend to help out. The Swan agrees since the protagonist did help her out with the gymnastic club. It makes the protagonist jealous that she cannot help her friend in any other way.

The fight scenes and battle is a little blurry to me in this episode, but I will attempt to describe it all. The Swan and protagonist’s crush go against the two pro skaters. Without knowing it was a fighting match too, they are overwhelmed. The Swan has to do most of the leg work and fighting while the her skating partner adapts. It turns out he’s pretty flexible and agile on ice. 

In what’s supposed to be the finishing blow, the pro skaters slam the Swan into the wall and injures her whole back. Not wanting her friend dead, the protagonist switches with her in her female form. They work together to finish off the two. In the middle of the battle, the male pro skater kisses her and catches her off guard. They almost lose when the ice breaks and releases cold water. The protagonist changes into their male form and is thrown a more fitted outfit by their cousin. 

Their crush is surprised by their appearance, but brushes it off as he just needs any partner. Once they defeat the two, the female pro skater is so in love with the protagonist that she kisses them. Thrown so off guard, the protagonist tries to flee before getting interrupted by their snake rival.

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.

Fourth installment of Digital Story. Here goes some sad stuff.

Once they come back after saving the Digital World, the kids are arrested by the Data Squad and then have their memories wiped. Vallura goes to high school with Kenny after her “summer vacation.” She meets Abby and Sora at school. Kenny notices she is not as cheerful as she used to be and investigates the vacation. He wishes he could help her and ToyAgumon resonates with him, escaping to the human world to find him. Upon meeting ToyAgumon, he remembers his time in the Digital World and vows to get everyone to remember to. Him and ToyAgumon work together to smuggle the other digimon to the Human World and get everyone to remember.

The DATS Squad 2 are on the case and try to stop them. Kenny and ToyAgumon defeat one of them and are able to leave. They didn’t recognize the digimon and couldn’t see Kenny’s face so they don’t know who it is. After more encounters, DATS is able to find out who it is.

The squad decided to transfer their school to keep an eye on them. Vallura is the last one who cannot remember and it is affecting her deeply. DATS try to prevent her from remembering. Kenny is not happy having classes with DATS.

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

This is the sequel to the Data Squad AU I have of my characters. A brand new set of characters are here and are just teenagers unlike the original cast.

After a mission in the digital world goes awry, DATS is a mess when only the digimon with their digivices return. The original 6 who left had been turned to stone and captured by the Olympus 12 as they hate humans roaming their world. DATS has to recruit new members, but the 6 digimon go out to find temporary holders. 

The new 6 are an even bigger mess as they’re even younger than the og 6 and have to learn all protocols. DATS is not happy about recruiting some strange kids off the street, but they have to accept as they cannot find anyone else. With each new mission, the group bond. 

They soon have to enter the Digital World as an emergency message is sent to the headquarters. The Olympus 12 is going rogue and killing digimon who support humans. Cutting the training short, the new 6 enter the Digital World and try to defeat each Olympus. 

After defeating each Olympus, they are able to enter the castle and free the original 6, reuniting them with their digimon. 

The new 6 are able to stay on the team and keep training until they find a digimon.
