So, With There Being 10 Episodes, I Feel This Applies To Episodes 3-9, Since The First Two Episodes Don't

So, with there being 10 episodes, I feel this applies to episodes 3-9, since the first two episodes don't really have main villains and the last episode will be a grand finale.

So far we've had Bob-Gluttony, Moloch-Wrath (his main motive in UG was to escape and get revenge on the boys) and Dexter-Lust (bloodlust to be exact).

Given that it seems the villain of episode 6 will be a new demon, possibly Moloch's rival, I feel they will represent Envy. Especially because SM6 was likely originally supposed to be the Candy Dealer episode and that guy's main thing is being jealous of and trying to surpass the Candy Club.

This leaves Pride, Greed and Sloth split between the Roy, Frank and Spider episodes (assuming none of them were the second cut episode).

Okay I'm gonna fixate on the antagonists reflectijg the 7 deadly sins forever now

Spooky Watch (a Spooky Month x Yo-Kai Watch au)

An idea first pondered by @crossover-enthusiast and actually "made" by me. This will involve both lore and hypothetical gameplay/structure.

The Premise

Due to (as of yet undefined) things his dad did, Skid naturally has the ability to see spirits, referred to as spooks.

He half-accidentally summons Moloch, who runs loose, in an effort to convince Pump the spirits he's seeing are real, as you could probably tell, Skid and Pump are less oblivious and somewhat more mature.

While trying to catch Moloch, the boys meet Eyes, who is the leader of all the spooks in town. Learning about what's happening, they gift Pump (as well as Roy and Kevin) a spooky watch (a visual cross between the yo-kai watch and the cult pendants) hoping to let humans and spooks better understand and befriend each other. Eyes is unaware that most spooks are going to use this "thinning of the veil" for their own ends.

After Moloch is dealt with Roy's parents and later mayor Evermore find out about the watches and form the cult in an effort to take and/or recreate the watches so they can enslave the spooks.

Spooks!

Moloch is mostly unchanged, with the exception of not having a lower body at all, as he's a molten gargoyle.

Dexter, specifically the Dexter Fella, is the one spook everyone can see, in the vane of Manjimutt from the anime, always being mistaken for a weird short man. But unlike Manjimutt, Dex intentionally scares people, just not for the reason he wants.

The actual Happy Fella and Sad Guy are also spooks, named Laughella and Gloomuy.

Ooga Booga is a spook that just wants to jumpscare people. In a hypothetical game, she would act like Babblong.

Frank is now Vanab, a van spook based on the toy van Frank from the Deadly Smiles credits. He would also act as the Spooky Watch Mirapo, except instead of teleporting you, he just picks you up and zooms you away.

The Thieves appear as the very yo-kai they were dressed as in the 2019 Halloween drawing by Pelo. Their goofy, reoccurring side villains.

Here Bob is Vealsin, a pig-devil spook who is obsessed with exotic food, an obsession he shares by inspiriting people. When the boys, Roy and Kevin all get to the abandoned Boys n' Grills where Bob declares them his dinner guests, then the eating rhythm game, and then the fight. Bob being a cultist is reflected in Vealsin willingly working with the mayor.

And lastly, SKIDAD! He appears from the mannequin after Moloch gets loose and acts as the Whisper. He looks like a sentient speech bubble.

O yeah I know it's been a couple months but since I reblogged the post again:

0, 1, and 9 for Kevin

3, 5, and 8 for Roy

Kevin

----

0- The background changes for his nervous breakdowns, art style shifts are always a pleasant surprise to me, especially when their associated with a specific character.

1- It's simple but effective. He manages to have the vibe of someone who (when Skid and Pump aren't around) generally enjoys his job without really being passionate about it. And I just plain love his little floof.

9- This poor bastard needs someone in his life and given who he's usually shipped with, I'd say their pretty good. The only one I take issue with is him and Lila since Kevin feels like a guy in his mid twenties, roughly ten years younger than Lila.

----

Roy (thank you so much for asking about him, I have so much brainrot of him)

----

3- The scene with his parents and him then giving the candy to Rob for his sister. It just does so much for all the characters and is the first major scene for Roy's arc, it's also more wholesome than a lot of the "individual" scene endings in both TT and past episodes.

5- Like Pump, he has some residual effects left over from his encounter with Eyes making him sensitive to supernatural energy. We might see this in a scene where Carmen and Richard come home from a "late meeting".

8- Roy's sensitive about his weight but in a very complex way. He was picked on for it when he was little, but Carmen would always console him, having been a heavier kid herself. The only issue is the same assurances also came from *you know who*, which left Roy feeling very conflicted. If someone makes a dig at him over it he would usually stand up for himself, but for a while after The Stars he would just kind of glaze over while Ross and Robert whooped a bitch.

Happy to see this game resurrecting.

“I’d be sorry if I’d hurt you but we both know I didn’t do that”

I think this is the worst one of all, mainly because, horrifyingly, he's being 100% honest. He's not trying to manipulate anyone, he genuinely believes that his actions did not hurt Stella emotionally in any way. Such is his inability to empathies that he can't register that Stella's upbringing would make her extremely dependent on approval from the Ars Goetia.

It actually makes a lot of sense if you look at how they're early childhoods would've differed. Stella was born (laid?) to eventually become a wife and mother, Stol-ass on the other hand, while still planned to become a father, was primarily to control his own legions and have a specific role in the nobility. Up until Paimon told him he's engaged, he likely had no idea he'd have any responsibilities in life other than commanding others, while his behavior definitely stems from nature (in more ways than one), his nurture actually makes his villainous actions that much more logical and compelling to watch... If only his villainy was taken seriously.

This is literally Stol-ass' enitre character:

This too.

“I’d be sorry if I’d hurt you but we both know I didn’t do that”

“Cheating implies there was a betrayal!”

“I’m glad you aren’t upset! I know you can handle any stupid joke a clown can make”

What do u mean not the best picture of satan

Sorry for the late answer. What I meant was that Wrath seems to be the most chaotic and naturally harsh ring, let's not forget the scene in Western Energy where a gang jump Moxxie for wearing the same hat as their leader. If the rings are a reflection of their Sins, that implies Satan will likely be closer to Mammon than Asmodeus or Beelzebub.

Honestly It'd be a power move if Blitzø incinerated the Grimoire Infront of Stolas', effectively depowering him and turning him into the powerless, scared man he paints himself as.

Sorry it took a while to respond, It's been a chaotic week for me.

While I think that would be cool, I can safely say Stolas would lose his cool an petrify Blitz on the spot, and I don't think anyone wants that. Well, other than possibly Stolas, himself.
