Imagine having 2 in the 2020s... Happy Yuri Day (人´∀`)♪
Some explanations for each pair:
HimeZoey is bc both were born and raised in countries different from their partners. Both are also golden retrievers and the more emotional of the trios. Clear cut definition of "cute but deadly". Zoey is also the youngest and Himeno is somewhat implied to be the youngest according to production blogs but not confirmed.
MiraMorf are two different sides of the "it looks like idgaf but igaf heavily" coin. Both have troubled pasts with their bio families which makes their relationships with the others more personal. They're also the only ones who would approach their purples more despite knowing how emotionally detached said purples are.
Rita and Rumi have quite a lot in common even tho their dynamics with the others are different. Both can be very emotionally detached and have walls up; Rita because of their duty to the International Court and their general lack of separating work from their private life, Rumi because of her birth as a half-demon child and it going against the team's duties and beliefs as hunters. Both do eventually open up more to the other two and show how much they care and can be shown through their clothing; Rita opening up their collar when asked, Rumi no longer wearing turtlenecks or long sleeves. Bonus points that Rita is Gender Neutral (which falls under the enby umbrella) and Rumi's story can be seen as a queer and trans allegory (as well as other allegories but you get what I mean).
My main problem is that HimeMorf are never given the opportunity to bond compared to how close MiraZoey are. Mainly because of their roles and the story not really giving them the chance compared to kpdh. But that's what fanfiction is for.
here it is! the rough idea doodles for other kings! It's just started with giramie (you can find them here ), but i think it will be fun if i added the others too
+ some more trivia below
(warning: big spoiler for soul eater manga, and me nerding over soul eater)
for those who aren't familiar with soul eater, the series revolve around the story of meister and demon weapon (human who can transform into weapons). The students of of Shibusen, school build by 'shinigami' take on missions to collect souls and protect the city from the world's threats.
The school parted into 2 types of class, N.O.T (Normally Overcome Target, class for those who just want to control their powers, pretty much just like a normal class) and E.A.T (Especially Advantaged Talent, consist of the 10% students in shibusen, class for students/agents who use their powers to battle evil)
-this au sets years after soul eater manga ending, where human and witch can already living side by side
-Morfonia used to be in NOT class, but then she moved to EAT class after reunited in shibusen and being partners with rita (they're childhood friends)
-Suzume supposed to be gira's weapon partner, since the Hastie and Dybowski family been on some kind of..bound? relationship? for a long time. But racles don't want gira to be a meister, so he took both of the dybowski siblings as his weapon (welp, gira still finds jera anyway)
-Top 3 EAT class academical rank: Rita, Himeno, Yanma (it's quite a tie with jeramie sometimes), gira is somewhere in the middle, or below-
-Top 3 EAT class physical rank (as in like, PE class): Gira, Rita, Jeramie, (you know where yanma at right)
-yeah i use racs and himeno's p1 hair bcs i love them
-Rita can see someone's soul, while Gira can 'sense' someone's soul perfectly (like, what kind of people they are) and know kishin's soul before they turned into kishin egg (kishin egg: evil souls)
-Sebastian is not a student but he still go to shibusen to accompany himeno as her butler and demon weapon
-before met yanma, shiokara used to be Mayuta's demon weapon partners along with usuba (sniper rifle) and akka (brass knuckle ring)
-Jeramie is a child of demon weapon and witch, his mom run away from the witch realm because she possesses healing magic, which is unforgivable and hated by the witches
-and jera got his black blood from his mother, who didn't know that she was used to be medusa's (antagonist witch in SE) experiment object. Medusa thought she's a failed object, so she throw nephila out of her object list.
-before Jeramie met Gira, he wonder all over death city to find who killed and ate his parents' soul
-Gira don't really like to live in the Hastie's main mansion , so he rented apartments near shibusen together with Jera after decided to be his Meister. As a condition to allow gira living out of the Hastie household, Racles ask Duuga, the Hastie's butler, to visit gira's place from time to time
-Jeramie had this 'madness of hope' that triggered his black blood
-i'm thinking about 'madness of justice' for gira but 'justice' will suit rita more...
i don't think i'll elaborate more about this au, but who knows
here's more giramie in madness + blackblood armor bcs i like to draw them in that
Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger Character Book:
The Bonds Connected by Moffun and Racules?!
Hymeno, Rita and Morfonia side
(Racules, Kaguragi and Suzume side)
First Step
The long running animation "Together with Moffun," produced in Ishabana, the country of beauty and medicine ruled by Hymeno Ran, is well known and loved throughout land of Chikyu.
For Rita Kaniska, the king of Gokkan, the counrty of ice and snow, Moffun is also an important character who helped them to connect with Hymeno and Morfonia, Rita's retainer.
The day begins for these three people united by the animated character Moffun…
Hymeno Ran (Played by Murakami Erica)
Profile of Hymeno:
The queen of Ishabana, country of beauty and medicine, she is a member of the Royal Sentai who transforms into KamakiriOhger. Although she is selfish, her charm lies in her gentle nature, as she puts priority into saving people's lives and is considerate of other people's circumstances and feelings. She considers Rita, another member of the Royal Sentai, as her friend.
Murakami's Favorite Point: The large ribbon
Rita Kaniska (Played by Hirakawa Yuzuki)
Profile of Rita:
The king of Gokkan, country of ice and snow, and the Chief Judge of the International Court of Justice who transforms into PapillonOhger. Through their interactions with the people around them, they've gradually come to express their emotions in public. They possess a sealing power of ice in their right eye, which seals away those who cannot be judged by the law, including themself.
Hirakawa's Favorite Point: The shorter length jacket
Morfonia (played by Hasegawa Kasumi)
Profile of Morfonia:
She serves Rita, the king of Gokkan, and is a candidate for the next ruler of Gokkan. Although she can't be bothered, she does her job well and will fight for Rita's sake, regardless of the danger. She's worried about Rita, a workaholic who values their position and neutrality over their own feelings, and speaks gently to them.
I found out some Kingohger costumes are designed by fashion students (instead of in-house designers). Toei had an open competition and these are the winners!
