okay so, there are images of Key in the dragons uniform.
and even an image of him not with the knights during a match
but he seems forlorn about it. Like he wanted to stay but couldn't.
However, we also know the knights have their other matches!
Vs the roses and dragons. Key and Rags literally fight. like that ain't even Gorotama no more, they're just in combat.
here is my theory:
What if there is a bet or stipulation to a match? like someone says. "if the knights lose to the dragons, Key joins the dragons team."
and being as competitive as everyone is, they take that bet.
I honestly don't think Key would join the dragons for shits n giggles. or even because his mom was on the dragons. All his friends are on the knights, he seems proud to be there with them. I think they gambled.
I am so happy to see that my theories about the show have caught your attention <33
But I am here to do something a little different today.... :)
That's right, I'm doing a character analysis!!! Specifically of my boy Key cuz I gotta show my love for him :3
I'm mostly still gonna yap off the top of my brain, just like my last talk!!
Spoilers beware, I'm also gonna be calling back to some parts of my last talk which you can find here!
And now, without further adoo...
Let's gooo KNIGHTS!!!!
Ah.. Key.
Oh boy-
In episode one, we get to see the side of Key that changes throughout the show, that being his Gorotama fan side.
He is definitely not the type of obsessed fan, he speaks about Gorotama with a passion and bro didn't even know how much of an asshole Ragno is until they had their off game interaction in ep 1.
But we see that passion starting to fade once he's in the field. The last time he gushed about the game like the fan he is was in the match with the shadows, but everything after that, his tama was acting weird and by the bards match, he was too focused in trying to impress his dad.
Speaking of which, I 100% think that Key's desire to make his parents proud doesn't come from just the fact he was scolded by his dad multiple times because he kept making oopsies, but also by Sugoi.
Key grew up without knowing his mother so he didn't know how he could make her proud... until Sugoi showed him who his mother was.
He learned his mother was a dragon striker, that she has the same tama as he does now. He saw her be in control of her tama and was told she was a hero. He himself says "That's a lot to live up to..."
What Key wants to prove to his parents is different. He wants to prove to his dad that he can not-be a screw-up, and he wants to prove to his mother that he can control his tama like she did.
Well, not EXACTLY like she did, he learned that lesson clearly.
I genuinely think Sugoi has the right intentions, but she is not executing them right at all.
She tells Key he was gonna be the dragon striker for sure, only for her to go back and say "your place has to be earned", giving the boy kind of a false hope, especially since when he came to Kal-Asterock he still couldn't summon his tama.
She told him how his mother had control over her dragon, how patient she was, how she was a hero (which were mostly/all lies).
Sugoi only saw the good parts of Edina that she almost completely neglected her negative parts.
Edina wasn't perfect, her hair was messy, she was late to the game we saw the flashback of, she lost control of her dragon and ended up causing the accident, the possible suicide Edina committed that Sugoi disguised as "sacrificing herself".
Not saying that these traits are not okay to have, nobody is perfect truly and that is okay!!
Okay, back to Key.
Sugoi pushed the idea that Key has to be exactly like his mother, which, of course, didn't work out for Key.
He may have figured out that he needs to learn to control his tama his own way but!
He still wanted to be a dragon striker like her, he still wanted to be in control of his powers like her, he wanted to be a hero like her.
He had this perfect image of his mom, these high expectations put upon him.
That all shatters not only when he had his outrage in ep11, but also when Surya told him the truth.
His mom caused the accident, his mom wasn't a hero.
And what's worse is that he still got to be exactly like her, just in the opposite way he pictured it.
We are ofc gonna rebring the concept of how Key and Steven Universe are so fucking alike, but I would like to point out the thing that's gonna differenciate the two.
And yes, I am bringing back my "Key hasn't actually reached his tama yet but actually tried so hard he got his mother's dragon instead and his true tama is the orange egg" that I think I will officially call now the True Tama Theory (3T for short)
Steven got his mother's powers. He could summon her shield, use her healing powers, do whatever other magical shit he did. The thing that made him different was that he was half human, being able to fuse with humans, not just gems.
But that's not a "mother's power" thing, necessarily, all gems could do that so Steven was mostly standing out in the "all gems" category so *takes it off the table*.
What made Steven stand out from his mom was himself.
He still has all her powers, even the outrage Steven had in SU Future was a Pink Diamond thing from how Volleyball was treated.
But he had his own personallity and his own soul to thank for him standing out from his mom, even thought his powers brought the image of her back.
Now with Key here, he's starting off a similar path.
He has his mother's dragon, he's using it in similar ways she did, even causing an accident of his own.
But if 3T is right, then Key will have to truly show that he is not like his mom, even with his own tama.
He, for now, is still hanging onto the idea that he has to be like his mom. That idea was pushed into him even before he got to Kal-Asterock (thanks a lot Sugoi /sarcasm)
We don't know much about tamas but we do know this: they are personal.
Each person's tama is different, each person's experience with their tama is different. Key tried to make the same connection his mom has, but realized he needed to figure out his own way.
But that still doesn't cut it bc he still has his mother's dragon.
He is trying to connect with a tama that isn't his own.
That power keeps him connected to his mom in a way it gets all the adults to fear him. Just like with his mom.
And so, Key finally reaching and connecting with his own tama is gonna truly help him realize that he doesn't and truly isn't like his mom.
His power would still be a dragon, but it will be his own. He will make his own connection that will actually bring him the true understandinh of himself he's gonna need.
And him letting go of his mother's dragon to be with his own will truly mean he is his own person, not his mom.
Another thing that I discussed briefly in my last dragon striker talk was the fact that Key is too stuck in his own head. And we see that in multiple ways.
Firstly, he takes every little thing to heart. Ragno using his big guy attitude at him, someone calling him a "really mean name", people messing up with him or his friends. Of course, he is setting boundaries and tries to be there and protect his friends, but he also brings himself in places he isn't suppose to be, like the drama between Casper and Odward.
Secondly, he doesn't always listen to advice being given to him, or when he does, it's short lived. Ssyelle tries to tell him that he should pick his own battles or that he shouldn't let the twins get to his head and to not use his dragon inferno unwisely in the bards match and when he tries to listen and apply that advice it is short lived.
This is not Key's full blame, as in both of these situations something had gotten him out of trying to apply the advice. Ssyelle chose the battle Key decided he shouldn't, the twins hit him deep by saying "You wanna be like your mom? Well, she's gone! Why don't you join her?", the presence of his dad at the match messes with his judgement bc he wants to show him he is capable of handling his tama.
Key also has trouble kind of empathizing with others because he took Milo to a place FILLED with ghosts when Milo was extremely terrified of them. He tried to say that he relates to the feeling by bringing his fears that he got over, but the clear difference was that Key's were more smaller, sillier fears than Milo's giant, serious one.
All of these situations have caused the arguments of the show that I genuinely believe they were handled super well. I appreciate this show for showing what you should really do when situations like these happen.
Ssyelle is the queen of these types of things cuz she is the one that says how they should let Milo alone before going to talk to him, or how Key doesn't wanna see anyone not bc she feels left behind bc of Key's relationship with Sugoi but also bc she knows Key's having deep struggles with his tama and thinks he is dangerous to be around people.
Now, I also know that those things I listed about Key are very much neurodivergent traits, heck, he might as well be on the spectrum.
I am not saying everything is Key's fault, but I'm not saying it should be excused either.
This behavior will continue to exist and it will continue to mess with the relationship between him and the knights if they don't have a proper talk about it.
One last thing I wanted to say was about the line I mentioned earlier: "You wanna be like your mom? Well, she's gone! Why don't you join her?".
I have to say that yes, that line triggers Key to a bigger degree that probably thought of at first glance.
Not only is that line throwing shade at Key's mom and the fact she is dead, it's also throwing shade at Key himself.
Something I love about Key and wish I had was his confidence to stand up to everybody who insults him, his family or his friends. Yes it can be too much like I've explained before, but it can also be good when used right.
Key's outrage was valid to happen because not only was Key insulted, he was threatened.
He was reminded of his mother's demise in a mean way, back when he thought she was a hero, and then he was told he should "join her", aka die.
That's when the thing where Key takes things to heart was the most valid in my opinion.
Not only was his mother and him insulted, but he was also threatened and pushed into the idea that he should die like his mom.
And so he wasn't gonna let it happen this way, cuz that's not the hero act he needed to live up to.
Welp, I think that's all!!
Of course, nothing I say is the word of god, if you have any opinions of your own, agree or disagree with what I say then feel free to let me know!!
Do you like these??? Maybe I can do more cuz they are pretty fun!! You can let me know in the comments or send a request of a character you would like to see me take crack at through my asks!!
Hope you liked it, and now I shall slumber cuz it is 2 am as I am posting this.
Okay so firstly, we all need to acknowledge, the characters are tweens and teens. Key is 12. HE'S A CHILD. He is going to act irrationally, make stupid decisions, make ALOT of mistakes, and advice will go in one ear and out the other because emotions override critical thinking.
This show throws a lot of adult expectations onto kids at a young age. sounds a bit familiar **flashbacks to HP & MHA**
What happens with Casper is the harshest bullying one can do. In simple terms he basically said "get over it and go kys." And then tried to hurt Key badly enough to knock him out of the game. - I think he'd get carded at that point tho, idk. rule book on this game is needed.
Sugoi is honestly the villain here. "make your mother proud?" EXCUSE ME???? I feel like this is one of those situations where Edina is proud of Key for just be born. No expectations, no conditions. If Sugoi led with "No matter how this turns out, your mother would be very proud of you. We all are." This would lead with love and open the door for Key to figure it out for himself.
Sugoi is living in the past, not thinking of the future. This in turn is hurting Key. Honestly Dino needs to step in, Sugoi is not looking after this boy correctly at all. If this was my kid being "taught" like this, AND I FOUND OUT, oooOOHHHOOOoo- I'd be in jail very quick.
I'm not saying Key's crash out wasn't valid. Words do in fact hurt, and can leave emotional scars that are carried for life if not properly handled. That said; he permanently scarred a child's face because his emotions got out of control. Bullying is wrong, and I do think there should be repercussions for the older teens and the adults too - cuz wtf. But Key took it too far as well. He lost control, and stooped to a level just as low as the twins. Hurting someone back for hurting you makes you no better than them. You've become the monster you hate.
Key has a moral alignment of Good. He doesn't want to hurt people, if anything he wants people to like him. So despite being pissed the fuck off at Casper's words, he never wanted to hurt anyone that badly. Which is why he felt horrible seeing Casper's injury. He realized in that moment that he can severely hurt or kill people if he loses control and that scared him.
All in all:
Sugoi sucks, wtf is the legal system of this world cuz why can teachers attack students & condone attempted murder and extremely harsh bullying?
Also Casper took it too far and needs to apologize, ik ya hurt physically but like, you played with fire and ya got burned - literally.
Key's got a lot to work on, but mostly needs to apologize for losing control & needs to tell Sugoi to kick rocks.
These are my thoughts, and may change over time!!! nothing I say is set in stone. My thoughts are only biased on the knowledge I have at the time, they will change as I learn or are informed more.
I am calling upon the dragon striker fandom once again to hear me yap about the series
I have been rewatching the show over and over while also doing my art fight attacks and I am having so much fun!!!
I wanna finally share some thoughts and theories, mostly about Key since he is my fave boy with BEAUTIFUL dragon powers!!!! 🤩🤩🤩
So uhm, HUGE spoilers beware, make sure to catch up, you've only got 11 episodes so you don't have a lot to watch so you can come back and read my yap!!
Also beware this is gonna be LONG so make sure you got a cold bevarege to drink while you read !!🍹 You can also read it in parts for our fellow low attention span fellas, your choice!!
Okay, let's gooo KNIGHTS!!!!
I am gonna start off by letting you guys know something about me: I LOOOVVVVVEEEE dragons!!!! They're my favourite fantasy creatures ever and as you can guess that has influenced me greatly in starting a show called dragon striker.
I am also just generally picky with shows. Sometimes it's a pretty easy pick, other times I REALLY gotta make sure I'm gonna like a show before watching. Not necessarily spoiling myself but getting an idea for it at least!
Something that got me hooked immediately on dragon striker when I finally started watching it was the AMAZING ANIMATION of the intro!!! I figured most of the shots were of future content we would see and sure bet I was right.
I also LOVE a show with a more unique world building and character designs!! The new creatures, inventions, magic system and the fact that it has its own alphabet!! Really goes to show how much thought and work was put into it!!!
You know a show is good when you find almost all of the characters endearing! Not everybody can be our fave, I have my fair share of characters I don't like but not in the way that I say they are badly written. They all are greatly written in my opinion and I am excited for more!!
Now to get onto my BOOOYYYY!!!!!
Funny thing is how I told one of my friends as I was watching the show how "I'm not sure who is my fave tbh" but then the answer became so obvious with how crazy I kept (and still keep) going about Key's powers.
I was one of the fooled people who thought Key was a girl before watching. I sencerily apologize, I am a horrible member of the gender community /silly
ANYWAY
First of all, I'm of course gonna acknowledge just how COOL Key's powers are animated. Even just his little "spark" (if we're calling THAT a spark then we have NO IDEA what his true potential is really like) brings me silly little magic obsessed joy cuz THAT'S MY BOY USING HIS POWERS LOOK AT HIM!!!
Also his half dragon moment??? Not only do I think it is BADASS AS HELL but it also legit reminds me of my oc Musical (more info on her is on my blog and artfight!!) who literally had a VERY similar experience like Key and the dragon.
I was scared when the change to blue was gonna happen. I smelled it would not be good for our boy and I hate that I was RIGHT. Pretty sure we just witnessed the MINIMAL of what Key is gonna go through.
Speaking of what Key is going through, pretty sure the Steven Universe fans in the audience noticed the HUGE similarities between the two.
Two 12 year olds, pink coded, dead moms that are pink coded that died without the child ever getting to know them and only being told by their grownups that she was a hero only for the story to reveal their moms were actually not as good as they thought! They also just got stuck with her powers and the consequences the mom doesn't have to worry about anymore so yupii :D (/sarcasm)
This is where I also bring up Surya Sunspear. I hate that guy but I can't hate him fully because how dare he have Golden Cheese Cookie coded design. (Actually the whole bards team gives golden cheese kingdom energy)
Sunspear has grudges over Key because of the damage Edina did to him in the accident. He is so bitter having beef with a child simply because of his bloodline. This guy changed perspectives IMMEDIATELY since he heard the word "Nagatatsu" coming out of Key's mouth. His grudge is now even bigger thanks to Casper's damage.
Here's now where we get into mostly theory territory.
I think Casper with Key is gonna be what Surya didn't get to be with Edina.
Surya hates Edina for what she did and the damage she did to his face, leaving him literally scared for life, physically and mentally. He never let go of that grudge not even after the woman was dead, even wanting to kill her son.
Now, Casper has the same damage Surya has from the same fire, only difference being the person it came from.
The difference between Casper and Callista is that Casper knows to draw the line earlier than Callista. And so that's why I think he can be up for redemption.
I think he will feel kinda guilty because he was the one that caused Key's dragon outrage in ep 11. It's gonna take a bit for him to come to terms and for both of them to apologize but I think they will find a good middle ground and become more friendly with each other.
Maybe even Casper later joining the knights.
Yes, you read it right.
I have my list of a person from each banner team that might join the knights:
Casper (bards)-he gets to admit to be the one who caused Key's outrage, they both apologize, and Casper decides to join to be with his boyfriend as they probably resolve those issues too
Skadi (dragons)-she and Key formed some connection from the trials and I do think it is gonna evolve for her to join the knights
Falco (roses)-he is currently the kid who lost his tama and therefore might not be able to play with the roses bc of it. I think he will join the knights as they would give him a chance in the team even without his tama
Pregrina (shadows)-with a diadem destroyed, the shadows captain was most definitely replaced, leaving Pregrina with her low level tama again. I think this could be a chance for her and Milo to bond and she would join the knights
Pregrina might even be the first new addition to the knights thanks to the clips from The Very End MV
She is not wearing her diadem, and this is clearly a different game, so :)
Other theories I got from the clips let's see...
I think Key and Ssyelle are definitely gonna be in a conflict bc Key went crazy with his dragon inferno even tho Ssyelle kept trying to tell him to wait for the right moment and to not let the twins get to his head.
A problem that I have seen with Key is that he has trouble getting out of his head. He is too distracted by his own thoughts, easily takes every little thing to heart and sometimes doesn't even take into consideration his friends' needs and advice (example is when he tried to get Milo to stop being afraid of ghosts by bringing him to a place FILLED with them)
The match with the bards definitely is the thing that left them in the conflict they might be hinting from the mv
But I also think they will definitely talk things out as they always do )<3
We are also definitely gonna see the knights play against the roses and dragons. I think these shots are from the roses match:
And these the dragons match:
The crying shots I also think are from the dragons match but tumblr let's me have only 10 images per post and there's one more big theory I have:
I don't think Key has reached his tama...
Yet.
I think Key's true tama is in that orange egg.
Let me explain.
Key's tama started off as orange. It's been orange up until s1 ep7, Dragon Fever, when it turned to blue.
Key has struggled to reach his tama, he's only been able to get sparks and the dragon only a few times when really needed.
Then it turned blue.
Just like Edina's dragon.
Edina's dragon was blue. It was a beast that made her cause the accident that we see in those flashbacks. The beast that ruined it all.
The same beast in Key right now.
I think Key has found his mother's tama instead of his own.
When Key meets the dragon, we learn it is its own being, not just a tama, but we also see it has an egg and in that realm, there are multiple other cracked eggs.
I think those eggs mean that there are other people out there with the same type of tama as Key, just with different dragons OR
Those are all the dragons of the ancestores that came before.
I think the second idea is most likely bc we see the egg.
What color is the egg? Orange.
Just like Key's tama when he first summoned it.
Key's had trouble connecting with his tama, always trying to reach it but failing.
Probably bc his tama isn't even hatched yet.
Usually, tamas are unlocked pretty young, Key only unlocked it at 12 (which is apparently around 8 years late), so I think, that by not learning about his tama pretty young, it never got a chance to hatch, to get out of that egg.
Key was trying to reach for an egg, a tama not open or developed yet.
He was so desperate, so frustrated-
That he got to reach his mother's dragon instead.
So basically, Key tried to reach for his tama, but because he was too late, it never got the chance to flourish, and so since he was so desperate he got directed to the dragon his mom had instead, got lead to the same beast that caused all the terrible things that happened in that arena.
I know I sound insane but I legit think this might be plausible.
Of course, we'll have to wait and see, I will stand by my theory until proven wrong.
I would love to hear what you think, especially if you stayed this long and read my whole thing, you are a REAL one 🙏🙏🙏
I would love to hear your other theories too <33
Like, you guys also thought Edina killed herself to end the accident and that's what Sugoi disguised as "sacrificing herself" right?
I also think Casper will join. I wonder if after the game, everyone is mad at Key; he also upset with himself. But while everyone checks in on Casper, he is asking about how Key is doing. Admitting he took it to far, and that he doesn't blame Key.
- If this doesn't happen, then it would only fracture the knights further.
As for the tama, I have multiple theories:
1) The dragon works like a phoenix. When it gets too old, or gravely injured, it turns to dust and is reborn from the ashes, or in this case, egg.
I don't see the dragon turning to literal dust, but maybe absorbed into egg shape to heal or be reborn.
2) The Dragon is a living being right? So what if it produces one egg in its lifetime and then dies? being reborn in its own way.
3) The leech removed the dragon, and Key is unable to get it back, but within the hollow dragon egg, floats a small orange one.
either as its offspring or as its essence
Those are my running theories.
Honestly can't wait for your next tedtalk. This was fun!! :D
it’s kinda funny to see everyone’s reaction to the date of the release of part 2
Some of you guys are crashing out saying
“that theirs no reason for us to be waiting half a year for 11 episodes that are 20 minutes long”
or
“B***H YOU BETTER BE JOKING”
I was upset too at first, I mean it’s a small fandom so theirs not much media to consume while we wait.
but think about it, the show has crazy animation, character designs, music, no to mention the voice acting.
they had an Orchestra of 50? People from Japan!!! Like that’s crazy!! And come on we all know that soundtrack is a banger!
Again the animation is crazy, every time the characters use their tamas it’s extremely smooth, it reminded me of the last few episodes of the owl house when I first watched it. We all saw Falco’s tama right?? That was beautiful! And the flashbacks of key’s mom! It gives me chills every time I watch it! All of that hard work costs money, which I’m sure you know doesn’t come from nowhere. Although Disney is rich the show still has a budget, they can’t just do whatever they want. I’m surprised they were allowed to have the that kiss in the first place, they even brought blood to Disney!
and the background!! There was so much time put into that by talented people, but you know perfection takes time. We can’t rush them or they’ll start taking shortcuts which they really haven’t taken so far, and if they did I haven’t noticed (although that isn’t saying much)
and the amount of detail too, it’s such a rewatch-able show you can go back and then be like “OH SHIT, THEY BROKE UP” if your blind or “WAIT DID THE KNIGHTS MAKE THE SCHOOL” if your really observant.
there was so much love put into this show, I mean they have their own language!!! That you can decode!! Like what normal show does that!!??? Especially if you don’t know if you’ll have a part two or not!
what I’m saying is, while we all are upset that we have to wait so long we should rather want to wait for a peak show with awesome animation, Than get wait a week for a okay show with rushed animation that doesn’t even compare to the first half of the season.
and that’s my Ted talk i guess, tell your friends about dragon striker and drink water
Most of the crash outs, mine included, were just from us hearing disappointing news. A normal human response. it'll calm down in a week or so as each person finds out.
for me, after resting for the night i'm more relaxed about it. sad? yeah, a bit. but I know it'll all be worth the wait.
I think by doing this, we can build up a fanbase. The animators and writers have time to brainstorm season 3 - hopefully - and we will probably see merch here in a bit.
in the meantime, lets all take some well needed deep breaths, play the show on repeat, and work on making a supportive and welcoming fandom. <3
i'mma translate this language. Just for fun. ik there is probably a cheat sheet cuz the playing cards have translations on them. but gosh darn it where's the fun in that?!
The playing cards actually use a different language! (one that we've gotten a good amount of the symbols for but unfortunately not enough for a full cheat sheet)
iirc these are Ameline's notes? So this language is most likely specific to where she's from
One important note that might help, the language used in the cards and elsewhere in the series uses the phonetic alphabet with combinations of vowels and consonants, meaning changing one vowel next to a consonant changes the symbol. Not sure if this language does the same, but just something to keep your eye out for!
I figured the base of the language would either be with the English alphabet or a romance language. (Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Romanian)
but I also got intruded by the symbols. Most ancient civilizations has hieroglyphs or simple runic type letters. so I looked to see if I could find an old language that had similar symbols. only like two kind of sorta had a few, but not really. - it was stretching it.
if the main language uses the phonetic alphabet, i wonder if maybe this one uses Latin as its base. - anyone familiar with latin grammar and alphabet?
i'mma translate this language. Just for fun. ik there is probably a cheat sheet cuz the playing cards have translations on them. but gosh darn it where's the fun in that?!
Still perplexed as to how young Dino bagged EDINA NAGATATSU. LIKE- THINK ABOUT IT. HOW DID THIS SEEMINGLY NORMAL FARM GUY BAG THIS GORGEOUS LADY WHO IS ONE OF THE POSSIBLY MOST POWERFUL GOROTAMA PLAYERS OF THEIR GENERATION???
Bro mustve had the glow down of the century because HIM??? WITH THAT GODDESS???? no. Just, nO-
DINO IS A FUCKIN UNIT. YOU SEE THOSE MUSCLES??? Don't mess with farmers. They may look soft when they're being kind and friendly, but they're one of the strongest people you'll meet. Both in strength and in fortitude.
Perhaps Edina wanted a normal life? A simple life? She's had this dragon for assuming since childhood. A power that needed an outlet. Gorotama offered it. With her whole life being Gorotama, perhaps she enjoyed the calm and normalcy of a farmer and his animals. A sanctuary of peace.

I know most people don't like getting political, but unfortunately, LGBTQ & PoC representation in animation or movies has always been political.
This show is so meant for LGBTQ+ and for PoC!! This show is not only open to the gay community, its also VERY diverse!!! 🩷with amazing character growth as well!!!
We always say how we want more representation in our shows, movies, books, etc. DISNEY OF ALL STUDIOS WAS AT THE BOTTOM. They would NEVER show a gay relationship, just hinted or left it open to interpretation. NOT IN THIS SHOW!!!
This show is genuinely good! Its very well written and super deep in subjects! Its one of those "This is a kids show?!?!" Shows. like how ATLA and KPDH is technically for kids. THIS IS A MUST WATCH. A bonus as well, none of it is AI! Its 100% made with human hands and music!! 🩷🩷🩷
"So how is this political?"
Glad you asked. The current US administration is doing everything it can to demonize LGBTQ+ and PoC. This show suddenly dropping in the middle of this administration is a leap of faith. Its the corporate way of saying "Do the people really want representation?" The answer is YES!!
"So what do we do?"
You want to see more representation? We have to mess with a rich white man money for it to happen. Fucking shitty, but that's how it works. Money speaks. Disney as a company will cower at the current administration. LETS MAKE MONEY TALK.
I'd hate to say it, but we need to support this show by watching it!! no pirating!! Disney+ counts each profile as 1 viewer. So if a family of 5 all watch this show on each profile, that counts as 5 separate views.
This show only has a few months to rack up the views for Disney to get the idea we like it!!
"I've never heard of it till now, must not be that good."
In typical fashion, THEY DONT WANT US TO FIND IT. If everyone at the protests or pride events put this on, and streamed it in the background, it would make a huge financial statement to Disney. "WE WANT REPRESENTATION!!"
THIS IS PROTESTING, SUPPORTING, AND ENJOYING A GOOD SHOW AT THE SAME TIME!!!
LGBTQ+ & PoC COMMUNITY WE NEED TO RISE UP AND SHOW WE WANT SHOWS LIKE THIS!! STREAM IT! WATCH IT ON CABLE! DO WHAT YOU MUST!! OWL HOUSE WALKED SO THIS COULD RUN!!!
"We're nothing against them."
"We gotta stay strong... Game on!"
Okay like, I was looking at these murals on the walls the team found in the crypt.
I think the knights were the first banner! hear me out:
This looks like they're playing Gorotama. The crystal being the ball.
Then this one. It looks like the helm was given to them, the person seeming to bestow it is held in high regard due to the crown like headpiece and ceremonial poses. No doubt there was an ancient reason for the helm. Its true purpose has been lost to time. The ceremony has been reduce to a team trophy.
then there is an image of all the banners, perhaps the knights made the other banners for a reason. why, we don't know.
He is wearing the banners helm!! And holding the blue crystal like it holds great significance. More so than just a ball to a game.
now the big question.
The monster. Holding close the same crystal orb. It looks like its protecting it from something, whether protecting it for its own personal gain or for the greater good is TBD. The arrows pelting into it made me wonder...
they look like spears....
Sun Spears.
Falco was the first target of the leech. Then you ask "well why didn't Surya get attacked?"
In the next episode he says in the meeting "I did warn my nephew not to shine to brightly."
Hmmm? why?
I wonder what the history really is, but I have many theories!!

I know most people don't like getting political, but unfortunately, LGBTQ & PoC representation in animation or movies has always been political.
This show is so meant for LGBTQ+ and for PoC!! This show is not only open to the gay community, its also VERY diverse!!! 🩷with amazing character growth as well!!!
We always say how we want more representation in our shows, movies, books, etc. DISNEY OF ALL STUDIOS WAS AT THE BOTTOM. They would NEVER show a gay relationship, just hinted or left it open to interpretation. NOT IN THIS SHOW!!!
This show is genuinely good! Its very well written and super deep in subjects! Its one of those "This is a kids show?!?!" Shows. like how ATLA and KPDH is technically for kids. THIS IS A MUST WATCH. A bonus as well, none of it is AI! Its 100% made with human hands and music!! 🩷🩷🩷
"So how is this political?"
Glad you asked. The current US administration is doing everything it can to demonize LGBTQ+ and PoC. This show suddenly dropping in the middle of this administration is a leap of faith. Its the corporate way of saying "Do the people really want representation?" The answer is YES!!
"So what do we do?"
You want to see more representation? We have to mess with a rich white man money for it to happen. Fucking shitty, but that's how it works. Money speaks. Disney as a company will cower at the current administration. LETS MAKE MONEY TALK.
I'd hate to say it, but we need to support this show by watching it!! no pirating!! Disney+ counts each profile as 1 viewer. So if a family of 5 all watch this show on each profile, that counts as 5 separate views.
This show only has a few months to rack up the views for Disney to get the idea we like it!!
"I've never heard of it till now, must not be that good."
In typical fashion, THEY DONT WANT US TO FIND IT. If everyone at the protests or pride events put this on, and streamed it in the background, it would make a huge financial statement to Disney. "WE WANT REPRESENTATION!!"
THIS IS PROTESTING, SUPPORTING, AND ENJOYING A GOOD SHOW AT THE SAME TIME!!!
LGBTQ+ & PoC COMMUNITY WE NEED TO RISE UP AND SHOW WE WANT SHOWS LIKE THIS!! STREAM IT! WATCH IT ON CABLE! DO WHAT YOU MUST!! OWL HOUSE WALKED SO THIS COULD RUN!!!
"We're nothing against them."
"We gotta stay strong... Game on!"
