BearDrivingTruck posted:I'm rereading the series and something I've noticed is that the forms of the three yokai shifters-- Okarun, Aira, and Unji-- all amp up/warp an inherent personality trait of theirs It 100% made him more of a domineering bully mysogynist: look at how he acted toward people that he considers "below him" like Okarun and Kinta (in the first issue he's the one that wants to chuck a magnet in the paper wad, and in the flashback he tells Okarun he should just kill himself), and toward women he considers objects at best (how he acted toward the girls on their phones in the hallway and subsequently toward Kurdere during the fight). Without the yokai he's a "leader of the pack" bully mostly relying on the presence of others to validate his escalation; but with the powerup he finally feels like he can cut loose on his own and yell the things he was previously only muttering. But this is all just my two cents, I hope we see more of what happened to him soon, as well as the resolution of what went down with Zuma, Daiki, and Raiya.

Not saying you're wrong but for me at least it's a little hard to see the Crone powers loosening his inhibitions by that much when his baseline is already impressively lovely

Okarun also becomes kinda "suave" in his yokai form, though (like with him saying "Momo-chan," etc). I don't think it's "depressed" so much as sorta "relaxed/chill/sorta lazy."

Tampa Bae posted:"This is annoying, I don't want to be here, I wish I were anywhere else" doesn't give off the vibes of a chill guy He doesn't actually come off as genuinely upset. It's sorta similar to the Shikamaru character archetype. The aloof "mendoukusai" guy.

loving incredible chapter  Also, loved Okarun getting mad when she ask if he had a thing going on with Aira. Like, no hesitation in that reaction, you could feel the "how dare you suggest I'd cheat on you!" undertones in it

Finally asking her on a date but using the guise of winning a game to get it instead of just asking her out directly lol, love these dorks Vamola asked out Okarun in the past but seems totally chill with being the matchmaker now, she's so sweet

Eej posted:Whaddya mean, Vamola is one of Momo's friends! Yeah, but it's a very different handling of the situation. She just supported Okarun, as opposed to Miko and Muko literally dragging Okarun, Momo, or both then vanishing, lol.

important question just came to mind: given that vamola was fostered by battle grannies and is now apprenticing under seiko, when does she achieve honorary grandma status?

I mean, she literally has antenna and came from another planet, it might be a 2 on the 1-10 scale of Literal Human to Space Kaiju but she did come from another planet, wearing a suit of battle armor that’s advanced technology.

A suit formed from her people's hatred and fueled by her people's genocide. That feels pretty 40k and by 40k rules she's abhuman, not xenos.
