My headcanon of that lavender #3 that got swapped out with Ryuuken! I’ve named him Chip because his left finial had been chipped off at some point. Chip’s mismatched arrival was a terrible inconvenience that would keep this karate team unqualified for a tournament that their new, young owner failed to prepare for. Their owner is the son of their previous owner, who had died recently, leaving his prized pair of karate leaguers to this rich kid that had zero interest in sports. But this new owner did enjoy winning, so he placed a ton of pressure on Trace Ishikawa (left) and Ao Tora (right) to perform.
Chip insisted that he could master karate in a short time, that he could help them win, and Tora started training him up. Ishikawa hated this idea.
@gaogaigar-the-king had some dramarific HCs for how he might handle seeing Silver Castle’s success 10 years down the line, and how brutal rough play was in the karate league. 👌 👌
