YOU HAVE A USAGI-VERSE TOO!? THAT'S SO COOL

I've never met someone with a concept like this besides me. I can't wait to see what's next, this seems to be very interesting!

TELL ME MORE KANZUUUUUU!!! I love silly rabbit concepts, here's some sketches of an Axolotl Yuichi and Princess Miya(moto) !

Also, anyone viewing this post please check Kanzuu's blog, they have amazing artwork of Usagi & Donsagi (including a bunch of different AUs), and I am a huge fan of everything they do so make sure to spread the love <3

what kind of lingering effects does the 1st brain scrambler have?

thanks for writing! the first brain scrambler is built to not have any lingering effects, save for any physical afterglow you might feel from such an arousal-entangled trance.

now, the SECOND one plants a small seed of innate obedience and deference towards me, but that suggestion is explicitly built to be removed with a thought, and can even be ignored entirely during the trance!

hope that's some wind under your sails. have a great day and enjoy your ride aboard the mk. 1!

What was the accident that has jiwon traumatised

If you ask him he’ll say it was a little bullet graze to the skull. He spent a few days in hospital and his memory is a little hazy. 

If you ask Hanbin, he’ll tell you that Jiwon got shot in the head during a job down the coast and only survived because he turned at the very last minute when he heard Hanbin call out his name. He was in a coma for a week. His memory and personality are both erratic. He went through a lot of physical therapy but he needs a lot more mental therapy.

Do any of the Usagi family members hate carrots?? If I remember correctly in the comics it was said that Usagi hates carrots but I don't remember why...

But that's still a funny idea to me.

hi

Hmmm.. I think you know something I don't because I cannot remember that scene for the life of me, but I believe it exists somehow... oh well, I’ll keep reading and see if I find it o7

Miyamoto's first thump.. when his mother tries to feed him a vegetable. Everyone in the family is shocked, not at the refusal to eat vegetables, but at the sheer power of which he despises the thought enough to stomp his feet. No one ever stomps their feet.. not usually. "Carrot salad?" A very loud thump. "Carrot soup?" A contemplative thump, as though he would almost consider eating it if it wasn't veggie focused. "Carrot cake?" A quick and decisive thump. Carrots, in a cake? That sounds disgusting. "Carrot bread?" A soft thump. He likes bread, especially when it comes to his mother's baking, but a carrot is still...... "Carrot fries?" A trick. A healthy junk-food style option. Thump. He won't fall for it.

And a quick shape-buns doodle chart, Mizuki wants to raise a healthy family of bunnies but Miyamoto will at most eat fruit, potatoes, and beans.. Also the difference between “Eats Anything” and “Eats Everything” is Yuichi will completely finish a plate and have it cleaned, while Shuji will just eat any kind of food in front of him, but not necessarily eat the whole of it. For example…. I eat watermelon rind. (The green part, yes, that’s me, that’s what I do) that’s an “Eats Everything” trait. Yuichi would eat the watermelon with the rind, and Shuji would not. Or a more relatable example, is that Shuji might not eat pizza crusts, the burnt end of fries, bread crusts, or the outer skin of apples and potatoes. Yuichi would eat all of the above and then some (there is zero waste in the Usagi household!)

Fun fact #1 : Rabbits stomp their feet (or thump) to indicate danger nearby, or purely out of annoyance. My rabbit always thumped before I put her in bed every night, and she also thumped whenever I gave her a treat she didn’t want. Very sassy, but very cute.

Fun fact #2 : Lop-eared rabbits aren’t born with floppy ears. So Miyamoto, pictured above, has straight ears since they haven’t lopped yet. Mizuki was born this way too, and they both have minimal and limited range on ear movement. The brothers, of course, are not lop-eared, and have full range of motion with their ears. They both use their ears to silently communicate with each other, and.. well, they’re twins, I guess, and we know another set of twins that have.. yep, twin senses! The boys use their ears as antennae to sync back up to each other (it’s canon now).

Please, share the team names you have for this guys!

Sure thing, but I'm not entirely creative so these might sound kinda dumb lol (the Rise community is sooo good at naming duos though). Also included some non-canon duos for alternative UV AU's, where Shuji, Mizu, and Yuichi are the same age as the turtles instead (p-p-peepaw miyamoto au!?) Kinda just having fun with these, they may never be on the same page or might not even get along but... i still like it ! (original pairings under cut) - Miyamoto Pairings - Hijack Duo (w/ Donnie) Sunrise Duo (w/ Mikey) Blueberry Duo (w/ Leo) Icee Duo (w/ Raph) Cotton Candy Duo (w/ Shu) Seafoam Duo (w/ Yui) Princess Duo (w/ Mizu) - Shuji Pairings - Psychedelic Duo (w/ Donnie) Grapefruit Duo (w/ Mikey) Neon Duo (w/ Leo) Nebula Duo (w/ Raph) Twilight Duo (w/ Yui) Ultraviolet Duo (w/ Mizu) Cotton Candy Duo (w/ Miya) - Yuichi Pairings - Hyperpop Duo (w/ Donnie) Beach Duo (w/ Mikey) Lagoon Duo (w/ Leo) Mountain Dew-o (w/ Raph) Twilight Duo (w/ Shu) Peacock Duo (w/ Mizu) Seafoam Duo (w/ Miya) - Mizuki Pairings - Galaxy Duo (w/ Donnie) Empathy Duo (w/ Mikey) Horizon Duo (w/ Leo) Toothpaste Duo (w/ Raph) Ultraviolet Duo (w/ Shu) Peacock Duo (w/ Yui) Princess Duo (w/ Miya)

Am I? Wow thanks for the welcome, and for that I noticed my username, was little weird read the name lol, but is fine call me Nerish.

I think you have a very adorable and cool drawing style, I really like how they all look so fluffy, and I think the expressions are really good. I want a Yuichi axolotl plush.

About the timeline, the antagonist make me feel curious if it's focused on the turtles enemies in which case it might refer more to Big Mama or Draxum, if it's Usagi Yojimbo I just think of Jei, if it's Space Usagi I think of Akira, losing that hand must have been a more satisfying scene than it actually was.

But, yes I meant more like Princess Miya (lovely name), the magical girls gave me Madoka Magica vibes, just me? I just can't with the designs are so pretty.

For the Usagis I hope they can fix their things, I understand the Miyamoto's POV, but how feels Yuichi? i'm just curious, for now I stop here, also goodluck with your anon doesn't eat the other user, your last update of princess Miya was most adorable, I think like Raph I want to put myself on the waitlist.

Nerish.. of course you're one of my earliest followers... (everyone is!)

Oh yes, an Axolotl Yuichi plush would be so good! And very sensory appealing, with his fin-like ears and cheeks. Yes. I want one too... For the timeline, I did just answer an ask about potential characters which do include potential villains! I have not yet read Space Usagi, but that might be an interesting one.. yes.. -takes notes- We'll see Neko Ninjas, Big Mama, (I don't think Draxum would fit well into the story, since he's a Yokai extremist-- he would have no reason to attack or prey on the people he swears to protect), the Krang will make an appearance in terms of the bad future from the movie (What are the Usagis up to in that time? How did they handle the Krang?) and yeah, you know, some of the feudal lords like Hebi and Hikiji, Jei, and some other stuff. It might be cool. Final Question : How Does Yuichi Feel? Well, at first, it seemed fine. Miyamoto (8) asks Yuichi (30) if he will be his sensei. Mizuki and Shuji are supportive, after all it's the Usagi way, so they tell their kid to ask Yuichi. Shuji thinks his brother is a much better samurai anyway. Miyamoto looks up to his uncle because of this fact (he adores his father as well) and this is when the two of them are the closest.

-- Miyamoto (9) watches Yuichi and Shuji (31) leave one day before scheduled training. Miyamoto is a little less than a year into his training, but he still isn't allowed to go on these particular errand runs with the twins. They are usually quick about it, but also extremely careful. Maybe when Miyamoto has more training, he can join them.

-- Some time has passed, and Yuichi (33) seems.. different. Maybe it's the bandage over his eye. The now open wound. The warm blood dripping down his face. Maybe it's the faces that Miyamoto (11) makes. Maybe it's the fabric on his skin, making him feel clammy. Claustrophobic. Annoyed. Panicked. Something is wrong. A voice in his head echoes the thoughts he relayed to his nephew. Miyamoto is doing his best, working as hard as he can, trying to get better, trying to please his Uncle. Why is he so different now? Miyamoto doesn't understand. He's in disbelief, he's angry and frustrated.

Being the oldest is hard. The weight of the world sits on your shoulders, and it's a task that even the strongest Samurai can't handle. But he has to. He has to protect his family, but he needs to teach Miyamoto. If he fails as a Sensei, then he's failed as an Uncle. A Brother. A Son. A Samurai. With Miyamoto's sudden disappearing habits, Yuichi is scared of what will happen if Miyamoto doesn't come back. Would he be the reason his brother no longer has a son? He would fail his family. He would have no honor. It's a crushing thought.

Hello,

I need to ask in the panel after they talk about the clothes and before choosing a job, those waves were the "twin sense"? Was it?

Yes! I did not make it subtle at all lol. Here's an explanation of how it works based on my personal experience (I am an only child, but my mother and I tend to have "twin sense", so I'll explain the best I can!)

"Twin Sense" is not a literal telepathy type thing, but a feeling, or intuitive thing. When Yui and Shu looked at the newspaper, they both had their own individual thoughts on what they wanted to do. They both, at different times, thought about the same type of job-- cleaning tuxedos. Not because they wanted to actually clean a tuxedo, but because they didn't like the other options or associated "tuxedo" with high-end and fancy. When they look at each other here-

-they are confirming what the other wanted to do. This is basically a shortened, sped of version of a "jinx" followed by an "I knew it" or a second jinx "I thought the same exact thing!". (This also makes dialogue easier because then I don't have to draw jinx panels lol). Yuichi looks at Shuji, and Shuji looks back, and they already know what they want to do, they are in sync, but they don't know that they will choose the same thing. It's irony for us as the reader, because WE know they are thinking the same thing, but if you are ever in this situation, you actually DON'T know what the other person is thinking, and then you're surprised or pleased that you were on the same page when it happens. This is what happens with my mom, we usually are on the same page on a lot of things without actually knowing what the other is thinking. Sometimes a situation is set up so perfectly that we even talk in sync, and say the same thing, which is what can happen with these twins, too.

Since we are reading a comic in left - right format, whichever character is on the leftmost side of the page will be the first to have the thought, then the character on the right will have that same thought. I call this a transmission of thought (even though they aren't actually telepathic, they're individuals, like us) which shows the viewer they are having the same thought or checking up on each other in some way. The number of points just dictate how far away the characters are from one other or how long it takes for them to have that thought. Maybe Yuichi doesn't catch on as quickly, so his receive will be longer than Shuji's, and vice versa. They may even take a much longer time to receive. The twins are unique in that they can have the same thoughts like this somewhat regularly, but everyone has intuition or what's occasionally called a sixth sense.

Mizuki for example is very sensitive to those around her because of her very empathetic nature. When an Usagi is hurt, she can tell, even if they were trying to hide it. She can also tell when their mood changes, when the weather changes, and she believes in spiritual energy stuff, too, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Even Miyamoto has a sixth sense, but it's intuition again. He's more intuitive about incoming danger, secondary presences, and intention. Miyamoto is Shuji's son, so even he could have some similar habits to his dad that Yuichi picks up on, and being a primary caretaker and figure in his life, Yui could easily "twin sense" his nephew even if Miya's unaware. It could also be a paternal instinct, since Yuichi could think of Miyamoto as his own son, too. I like to think Miyamoto uses his intuition in such an intentional way as shown with Donnie here, though. He's just a silly little guy!

Long post, but I enjoyed answering! It also leaves room for some comedic panels down the line, and some interesting scenes. Thanks for the ask, Nerish!
