2024 Akira Amano 'The Characters' Exhibition bonus 'Selfie-style' cards.

[ID: Official art of multiple characters from the manga and anime Katekyo Hitman Reborn.

They're all drawn as if taking a selfie, most of them smiling and/or doing a peace sign or another playful gesture with their hand.

Reborn, Colonnello, Viper and Fon are in their cursed forms, with Viper pulling their hood down, trying to hide more of their face.

Gokudera waves at us, with "Vongola Famiglia" written on his palm and the Vongola's emblem drawn on it too. Lambo is in his Ten Years Later version, Tsuna's shown both in his normal state and in Hyper Dying Will mode, Basil is in Hyper Dying Will mode too and Chrome's wearing cat ears.

Squalo and Xanxus are scowling. /End ID]

How can i not love them together. They're like two purple parallel lines, i just want to see what their dynamic would be! They're both kind of loners but like, in totally different ways. Like Chrome will get to lunch, Tsuna will ask if anything interesting happened today (basic polite small talk), she'll say not really. Hibari bursts through the door like dodging him was an arrogant slight against him, Tsuna can't deal.

Tsuna was beaten up, but he didn't wipe that look off his face.

Fanfic Idea: Servamp x KHR

Man I desperately want this after it came to mind, but I have no writing skill so I’m just going to shout into the void.

According to wiki, Lawless’s previous eve was a famous American actress named Iris, who he killed in a car accident (based on the newspaper photo with a crashed car). Chrome’s unnamed biological mother was a famous actress, while her stepfather worked at a famous overseas company. 

In this fic then, they are the same person, so Lawless knew Nagi when she was a little girl. He would spend time at home in hedgehog form to avoid being seen by his eve’s husband, and often wandered the house out of boredom and curiosity. He sometimes played with Nagi, who he pitied as a loveless child and an background extra character on the stage. Nagi meanwhile enjoyed petting and feeding him treats, but did not talk to him. She eventually saw him transform and started calling him Hedgehog Man, but she still fed and pet him the same as before, so Lawless thought she was a strange kid.

When Nagi was in critical condition due to the car accident and her mother refused to save her, Lawless took that as another proof of the cruel world. A few years later, when he was bored of Iris after attending Licht’s concert, he had her suffer a car accident like Nagi did. 

He was surprised when he saw her by Tsuna’s side as Chrome Dokuro, but glad that she survived since he sometimes thought about her (and his previous eves) after his morality was kicked back into him by Licht. When he sees her, he can’t help but want to make up for not doing anything before.

Lawless is cheerful but slightly weighed down by guilt whenever he hangs around Chrome, calling her Nagi to the surprise/confusion of other people. Mukuro, for the record, hates Lawless for his theatrics (without seeing the irony) and calling Chrome Nagi. For her part, Chrome doesn’t care that Lawless admitted to killing her mother, but she does want him to stop calling her Nagi since only Mukuro knew that name before Lawless arrived and unveiled her past.

Meanwhile, Licht immediately wanted to trade Hyde for Roll. Hibari said no, so they fought. Licht hasn’t given up.

Screaming, crying, throwing up at thiiiisss omg Nicco i adore you

[shyminikit]

omg me too, I would die to read a KHR x Servamp crossover. I can imagine Nicco and Tsuna being simultaneously terrified of each other while connecting on a spiritual level.  Nicco (naturally?) has the confidence Reborn beat-- trained into Tsuna though, so Tsuna can look up to him while hating that he’s mafia.

Pisces Aphrodite is probably left-handed in canon

He throws his roses with his left hand in the original manga and anime in his fight against Shun (and in many of the games). In some spin-offs he mainly uses his right hand, but they are also spin-offs, so I believe the canon scenes (particularly in the original manga) have more weight (but Episode 0 shows him as right-handed, so it’s hard to conclude TToTT).

On Pisces Aphrodite:

Originally I was just going to make a post saying that, much like Deathmask, I consider the way Aphrodite is portrayed in Saintia Sho is the best (Chimaki Kuori really did a great job with the golds), but then I remembered I wanted to make a post dedicated to the most beautiful saint in Athena's army...so here we are now

One of the biggest problems with Aphrodite is not the character himself, but how he is one of those character whose interpretation and general characteristics about his personality recognizable among fans, are mostly fan made. And it bothers me a little because, though I don't mind comedic takes and memes on a show or a character (actually you may have realize I don't like taking things seriously now and then), there will be a momemt when we wouldn't remember who the character really is.

(I should mention that I mostly blame the Abel movie for solidifying the idea of an overly vain Aphrodite. I don't particularly like how he is pictured there...but that didn't stopped from making a meme...because it was funny)

So who is Aphrodite then?

Let's begin with his personality.

He is a very calmed person. In contrast to Deathmask, who he is normally associated with, he doesn't have aggressive outbursts of laughter or yelling. Not that he can't lose is temper or anything like that, but he seems to be among the calmest saint among the 12. He also doesn't wear his emotions on his sleeve as visible as some of his companions. But this doesn't mean he holds back his opinion or that he cannot be cruel. This may be an stretch but he did told Shun that Seiya was going to die right before reminding him he was supposed to be looking for revenge (whatever it was done in a mocking way or not is up to debate)

This could be with the intention of shaking his opponent core and ability to focus. Though he would be able to stop Shun if he had tried to run and help Seiya, it would be easier to defeat an oponent who is emotionally invested (in theory, look at tbe battle between Deathmask and Shiryu to see how emotion can turn a fight around).

Aphrodite is proud and considers himself above other in terms of power and hability, but this isn't a feature exclusive to him. All gold saints KNOW they are on a different league, and Aphrodite is not someone who is constantly pointing it out... that would be Shaka...for example.

The way Aphrodite does patronize Shun is by calling him "child" or "naive" (which he arguably is). Not by being particularly self absorbed.

Now let's talk about his philosophy.

Aphrodite believes that the strong carry justice. He thinks that if someone is strong and powerful enough to vanquish their enemies, then they would be strong enough to look after others

His perception of the world is not black and white. He understands that in order to accomplish peace and prosperity, sacrifices need to be made. Justice may sometimes seem as cruelty in the eyes of those who don't know how complicated the world could be. He didn't became a traitor because he was evil, he saw how small and fragile Athena was and eventually realized she wouldn't be enough. We may understand this better if we consider that even by the time Saga's rebellion happened the santuary was already getting ready for the holy war, they didn't know if it would come the very next day, or 13 years later, but they had to be ready anyway.

It was maybe there where Aphrodite realized that a baby couldn't do much, and after Aioros and Athena supossed death happened, he convinced himself it was for the best.

Saori's more passive take and overly kind attitude may would clash with him and his views of justice, but he would had follow her anyway. After all he has been shown being very respectful to authority.

Fighting style

By the way he fights,we can tell he falls more into the "silent assassin" type.

His attacks are discrete, fast, lethal, and elegant. As far as I know, roses were (goddess) Aphrodite's flower, and the pisces constellation is directed tied to her for it tells the story of when she and Eros transformed into fish. Given the origin of his constellation, and the deity he's tied to, it makes sense beauty would be found not only on his face, but on his fights as well.

Saga even acknowledged him as lethal.

Yes, he doesn't like losing (but who does, really?)

During his fight with Shun we see Aphrodite go from calmed and even patient, to confused and surprised.

When he had the higher ground, he even advice Shun let things be

It seems like he acknowledged Shun lack of experience in real war, it can also be that he didn't consider him a dangerous enemy, after all, he was just a mere bronze saint. The panel above shows Aphrodite trying to spare Shun from further suffering. Little he knew Shun's cosmo is unexplainable strong

Later, he got desperate. He used an attack he never needed before, but it was too late. Shun's strength along with Athena's blessing, signed Aphrodite demise

(Before going to the next point, I have to say that in the manga version of Hades saga, he didn't beg for his life like he did in the anime. He just watched in silence until the very last moment, when he asked Radamanthis to stop)

His views on beauty

Honestly, I don't know what he thinks about his own looks... he never speaks about it.

So, please repeat after me:

APHRODITE DOES NOT PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO HIS OWN LOOKS

Whenever his looks are brought up is by someone else. He doesn't really seems to pay much attention to them. The only instance I can remember he addressing the issue was not in the manga or anime but in the awakening game which so far had kept them all in character

"Since I first arrived here, everyone praised my beauty, but they never acknowledged my strength".

So, it's the Saintia Sho take really that good?

I humbly think it is perfect

This is going to seem weird and random, as the fanfic I am going to talk to you about is from 2017. But, I just have to say I love your fanfic, 'Rolling Hedgehog' and it makes me crack ship Lawless and Sitri. Anyways I just want to say I love this and it makes me want to get back into Servamp. Have a grand day.

Thank you so much!! I’m very happy and grateful! I am very glad that you enjoyed my fanfic and tbh, as I was writing that piece, I imagined how fun it would have been for Lawless to “serve” Sitri and generally just mess around with the Makai Ouji cast/timeline. So yes, thank you very much anon, you made my day! I hope that you’ll have a grand day as well :)
