Demon Slayer x Monster Hunter stories AU Pt.2
This is the second part dedicated to my Demon Slayer and Monster Hunter Stories AU: today, it’s the turn of the Hashira and the monsters I’ve chosen for them as Monsties.
P.S.: If a monster's element doesn't match the character's Breathing Style, that’s perfectly normal; I chose the monsters based on their appearance. For example, Tomioka uses Water Breathing, yet I assigned him the Lagiacrus an electric-type monster.
Let's start with the first one, Tomioka. It was very easy to choose a monstie for him, the monster is the Lagiacrus
For the next is Shinobu. Just like Kanao, i was struggling with her to find a monster that resembled a butterfly (there is Oltura but it's an Elder dragon), fortunately, there are some insect-like monsters, so i chose the Rakna-Kadaki
For Rengoku, I chose Glavenus; initially, I wanted to gave to him the Rathalos or one of it's variants, like Dreadking, but I had already given that monster to Tanjiro, so I opted for this one instead.
Next up is Tengen; I assigned him the Bazelgeuse because, if I remember correctly, he uses bombs as secondary weapons in the series. The second option was the Qurupeco, but he would look ridiculous with that monster.
For Mitsuri, on the other hand, I chose the Mizutsune; it suits her perfectly, especially given its color palette and the fluidity of its attacks, which is similar to Mitsuri's fighting style.
As for Sanemi, I assigned him the Deviljho, even if there are monsters with wind-related abilities, most of them belong to the Elder Dragon category (such as Amatsu, Kushala Daora, and others), which is why I chose this monster for him.
And here are the characters for whom I struggled to find a monster, mainly because I’m not sure if they’re a good fit, or because some of the monsters (especially for Muichiro and Obanai) don’t come from any of the Monster Hunter Stories games. I still have to decide whether or not to draw the Kinship Attack.
Let's start with Muichiro: unfortunately, I couldn't find any monsters linked to mist power (as far as I know); the only monster I found that kinda suits him, mostly for the look of this monster, is the Dodogama, but the problem is that it doesn't appear in any of the stories' games
As for choosing a monster for Obanai, if I had to pick one that appears in all the Monster Hunter Stories titles, I would opt for the Nargacuga; however, if I were to choose one that fits his aesthetic, I would go with the Great Girros (though it doesn't appear in any of the Stories games), so I am undecided on which monster to assign him.
As for Gyomei, there are both the Gravios and the Arkveild: the former suits his breathing style and aesthetic well, while the latter is better suited to the type of weapon he uses, more or less, and to his power, given that he is the strongest Hashira among the others.
If you want you can help me to choose the monsties for Muichiro, Obanai and Gyomei. For this post I did the Hashira, the next one will be with demons and it will be the last, i have to see if i want to do the secondary characters
