found this online. im curious to see what episode this is in...
anyone know? from what i know, venoct only appears in the segments in episode 50 through 53, and i never saw this in any of those episodes. either its a fake screenshot, or im missing something.
could someone maybe tell me what season and episode this is in, please? if its even in an episode at all. and where can i watch it?
i just kinda really like seeing venoct and hearing his voice, so uhhh yeah hehehe
Quick! 5 songs that remind you of the character you're thinking about the most right now
Uhhh okay umm five songs that reminds me of Venoct, OOF this is gonna be difficult...
First of all, starting off strong with the theme that's literally MADE for him, that plays in the "Venoct's Revenge" segments of the Yo-Kai Watch Anime (can be watched on Internet Archive!) idk the name tho-
Other ones... they dont have anything to do with his personality but i think about him every time I hear "Once In A Lifetime" by Talking Heads, so I guess that counts.
Umm... the song "Cave Of Nagi" from Okami. Actually most of the songs that reminds me of Venoct are from Okami for some reason.
"Gaze Up At The Starry Sky" also from Okami. The reason why I think about Venoct when I hear THIS ONE is because of that REALLY OLD ANIMATION I MADE THAT NOBODY REMEMBERS (also with Ushio's old design) AND I WILL NOT SHARE WITH YOU GUYS AGAIN-
Last one, I'll go with "Ryoshima Coast" ALSO from Okami... yeah. I remember talking about Venoct a lot while in Ryoshima Coast during my replay of Okami.
That wasn't really quick, was it? oh well. thanks for the ask!
Do you have a ykw oc or insert? If so, could we hear some about it and maybe some dynamics with friends and stuff they might have,,,, from what I've heard so far on your thoughts reguarding the squid and snake they seem interesting!!! @u@
OH BOY ITS ✨RAMBLING TIME✨
yeah, i do! I have three, Ushio, Starbin, and a human that I dont have a name for yet (A.K.A. the annoying seven year old McKraken has to put up with LOL), but the only one I've drawn is Ushio! sadly i dont have much ideas for the other two besides what ive already said but they will eventually have designs and stories and stuff.
for now, i'll just talk about Ushio.
So Ushio is a Rank A Yo-Kai of the Mysterious Tribe, her Attribute being Water. The name "Ushio" in Japanese means "Tide", so I thought making her Attribute water would fit better. Originally she was going to be a Pokemon oc, but I needed a Yo-Kai Watch oc so uhhh yeah! I actually have her ref right here :>
I tried with the design, but I was tired, okay?
I was thinking she spends most of her time by the ocean, where she died in her human life. Yes we are getting into the lore, now.
As Ushio is literally an oc to ship with Venoct (BIG WHOOP), I decided to have Ushio at least have something to do with the big fight thing with Rubeus J. I was thinking at one point Rubeus was about to strike Ushio or something (I HAVENT THOUGHT OF THE ENTIRETY OF IT IM SORRYYYYY) I think from the strike Ushio probably got knocked into the ocean, unable to swim, as she just slowly sinks into the water. She eventually comes back as a Yo-Kai or something, hoping to hunt down Rubeus before he attacks again. Except she's a lot less... vigilant than Venoct is, so she actually makes time to talk to Cadin and Jibanyan.
Anyway, that's about all the ideas I have for Ushio.
If you have any ideas for Starbin or the Annoying 7-Year Old McKraken Has To Put Up With™ i'd love to hear them!
pls reblog this so others can see it! i worked very hard on it!
(edit: YES i liked my own post.)
Prolouge
The forest of Mount Wildwood was quiet, the full moon casting a glow on the wet rocks near the river. A distant owl hoots, the sound echoing softly through the night. A cicada chirps softly. Hey, wait a sec, that's not a cicada...
It's a Cadin!
Cadin is a yo-kai of the Charming Tribe. What's a yo-kai you ask? It's a mischievious spirit, of course. People usually don't see yo-kai without a watch, but there are sometimes exceptions. Cadin hops towards a nearby log, where another yo-kai was sitting. That yo-kai was Ushio.
“Any luck, dear friend?” Cadin asks. Ushio sighs, shaking her head. “No luck. I can't find it anywhere. Perhaps a Peckpocket took it, or somethin'...” she looks at the ground, upset. Cadin pats her shoulder reassuringly, “Thou mustn't be so down. I am sure we shall find thine talisman.” he says. Ushio smiles halfheartedly at him. “...That talisman is more than just some sorta decoration, it's... it's the only thing I have left from my human life. If I lose it forever, I... I dunno what I'd do.” she says. “I'd lose sight of what I once was, and... well, it'd be a pretty big deal is all I'm saying. I'd do anything to find it. I'd even fight the strongest yo-kai out there.”
Cadin nods, looking at the river. “Thy bravery amazes me, Ushio. Thou art more courageous than a Blazion.” he says. Ushio chuckles, “Hah, I've endured a lot as of late. Fighting boss yo-kai sounds like an easy task. But I bet once I actually face it, I'd die in mere seconds. I am still... really weak, for an A rank yo-kai.”
“Thou shouldn't underestimate thyself. Thine full strength is yet to be found.” Cadin says, his wings fluttering behind him. Ushio stays silent for a second, contemplating what Cadin said. She nods, looking into the river. “I guess you're right... thanks, Cadin.” she looks up at the moon, which was high in the sky. “We better turn in for the night. We can find the talisman tomorrow. We should get some sleep...” she gets up from the log.
Cadin nods in agreement, hopping up on a nearby branch, saying, “Very well. Until we meet again, Ushio!” He then disappears into a cloud of smoke, teleporting away.
“...I'll see you around, Cadin.” Ushio sighs, walking through the bushes, toward the Mount Wildwood Shrine. She had one last thing to do before going to bed.
She stops at the small pond of koi fish near the shrine, sitting in front of it. Ushio... wasn't a fan of water, and yet she was good at controlling it. It annoyed her that she didn't get an attribute she wanted when she became a Yo-Kai, but oh well, water attribute was given to her anyway. Ushio takes a deep breath, and exhales. “I'll be able to find it. I'm sure I will.” she gets up, fading into her human disguise, and going to her home in Uptown Springdale. She sneaks into the house, not wanting her (adoptive) parents to find out she'd been sneaking around outside.
She makes her way upstairs, and lays down in her bed. “What a day this has been. I wonder if I'll ever find it.” she mumbles, before falling asleep.
Chapter one: Befriended
Ushio, in her Yo-Kai form, was sitting on a park bench, observing others at play in the field. There was a lot of emotions Ushio was feeling at once. Confusion, sadness, amusement... all at the same time. Times sure have changed since when she was human. When she was young, the way of playing would be joining with a few friends and play fighting. In the times of now, people would kick a ball, and call it fun? Ushio never understood the modern human ways.
“This ball game confuses me. What is the point of kicking the ball? It did nothing wrong. This is injustice!” Ushio grumbles.
“It's called kick-ball, Ushio.” someone with a British accent says. Ushio facepalms, knowing exactly who it is. “...Hey, Whisper. What is it, now?” she hisses. “I have a feeling that a big Yo-Kai might be around here!” Whisper says.
“Whisper, wait up!” a more scrawny-ish voice coming from afar yells. Ushio jumps, “w-who is that?!” she asks. “I never introduced you to Nate, have I, Ushio?” Whisper says. Ushio sighs, shaking her head. A child runs up to them. He's slightly shorter than Ushio, and a red cat Yo-Kai is following from behind him. “Whisper, don't leave us behind like tha-... W-Whisper, what Yo-Kai is that?” Nate points to Ushio. Ushio growls in response, “Hey, pointing at others is rude! Watch where you point, human.”
“Nate, this is Ushio! She is a Yo-Kai of the Mysterious Tribe, with a water attribute!” Whisper says, almost excitedly. Ushio doesn't say anything, but her eyes narrow and extends her hand to Nate for a handshake.
After they shook hands, the red cat Yo-Kai jumps in. “And I'm Jibanyan, nyan!” he says in a high-pitched tone. Nate sighs, “Let's just focus on the huge aura coming from right there!” he gestures to the front of the school. Ushio nods, “I agree with the human.”
Nate looks through the lenses of his Yo-Kai Watch, and then he sees a giant lizard Yo-Kai. Slimamander.
On the Yo-Kai, was a blue Talisman. Ushio recognized it immediately. “Hey! It's got my talisman!” she growls, stepping foreward. “W-Wait, Ushio, you can't face him head on!” Whisper yells. “We'll help you, nyan!” Jibanyan says. Nate facepalms, “Why does this always happen to us... okay, fine, we'll help!” he says.
Ushio jumps at Slimamander, trying to land a hit, but it was covered in slime, so all the attacks bounced right off. “Hmph. I underestimated you.” Ushio grunts, throwing a bullet of water at its closed eye. The eye opens.
“That's it's weak spot! We need to hit it's eye!” Nate says, grabbing a medal and putting it in the Yo-Kai Watch. “Come on out, my friend! Calling Cadin!”
Ushio's eyes go wide. Cadin already had befriended Nate? “Wait- Cadin?” she stops fighting, and ended up getting hit by Slimamander's attack.
Ushio got knocked back, slowly getting up. “...It's strong... but not strong... enough...!” she hisses. “Ushio, wait, you need to heal!” Whisper says. Ushio couldn't hear him, and kept on throwing a flurry of attacks at Slimamander's eye. Cadin joined in too. “Thine fighting is admirable, Ushio. But thou must rest at some point!” he says. Ushio looked at Cadin, “I will, but I'm not stopping until I get my talisman back!” she says.
“PAWS OF FURY!!!” Jibanyan yells, hitting Slimamander's eye with his quick paws. Ushio looks at him in awe. “Okay, that was cool.” she says, quietly. Slimamander then closed it's eye again. “Ah, you're joking!! We have to open its eye again?!” Ushio growls. “Stay focused Ushio!” Cadin calls. “Right, right, yes, I know...” Ushio mutters, landing a waterfall attack on Slimamander. It does nothing to lower its HP, but it'll get it to open its eye quicker.
After a few more attacks, its middle eye opens to reveal... a tongue? “Wh- It's eye was there last time!!” Ushio says, looking mildly concerned. “Ah-ha! Yes, Slimamander can switch its eye and two tongues around! Only its eye is it's weak point though!” Whisper yells.
“Why are you named 'Whisper' if you are so loud?” Ushio asks, annoyed. Whisper looks at her angrily, before turning away, not answering the question.
Soon enough, they found which head Slimamander's eye was in, and they (supposedly) defeated it. Whisper flies in a circle excitedly “That was too close! I bet that you wouldn't have won without MY help-”
“Whisper, you didn't even give a lot of advice.” Nate grumbles. “HEY BE NICE TO ME I'M YOUR YO-KAI BUTLER!” Whisper yells. Ushio looks at both of them in amusement. “You guys are funny. Here. Take this, Nate. And don't you dare lose it.” she says, giving Nate her Yo-Kai Medal. “Oh, cool! Thanks! I guess this means we're friends now?” Nate asks. “I wouldn't have given it to you if we weren't.” Ushio answers. Nate smiles, “Thanks Ushio, for helping us out. We do have to be going though. Seeya!” he takes his leave, waving at Ushio. Ushio smiles in return and waves back, “Until next time, Nate.”
Now, Ushio was alone again. Slimamander was still lying there, seemingly dead. Ushio looks at the fell Yo-Kai, realizing it was still breathing. Ushio lets out a sigh of relief. “Good, it isn't dead.”
Slimamander then woke up, preparing a fire attack to throw at Ushio.
Ushio freezes. She felt rooted to the spot. Like she couldn't move. “Welp, this is it.” she sighs. Just as the fire was about to hit her, something, or someone, appeared in front of her, sheilding them both from the attack. Ushio couldn't see who it was, but the figure had an azure blue scarf that looked like two dragons.
The figure attacked Slimamander, and Slimamander fell down, and teleported away. The figure turns to Ushio, their golden eyes watching her with... some sort of emotion in them. They step closer, showing themselves a bit more. They looked... human. But too much aura to be a human. They were a Yo-Kai, like Ushio.
“You... saved me?” Ushio seemed grateful and confused at the same time. “Yes, well... I'm not in the government. So don't expect another bailout next time. Farewell, Ushio.” the Yo-Kai says, and then he disappears. Ushio stood there, confused even more. “How did he know my name? Why did he save me? Who WAS that?” she questions. She looks around. Seeing the seals have been fixed, and there was no more trouble in the area, Ushio retreated back to Mount Wildwood.
