Scarlemagne: I was awoken by the sound of mockery. Show me the object of ridicule!

The character names in Kataow are amazing because first, you have Kipo— lovely name, love how it sounds, and I’m it has some amazing meanings that tie in to Kipo as a character. 
Then you have Wolf. You never learn her previous name, but Kipo calls her Wolf (full name: Wolfatha Christie the Fourth) and Wolf accepts it. She never asks people to stop calling her that. It’s a perfect name for Wolf.
You’ve got Benson. I haven’t met many Bensons (usually, just ‘Ben’) but it sounds familiar and nice. Benson is a nice guy. A good friend.
Mandu is a blue four-eyed and six-legged pig, named after the dumplings Kipo’s dad used to make. It’s a little odd but hey, mute pig— and it has sentimental meaning to Kipo— so it fits Mandu perfectly.
You’ve got Kipo’s family Lio (not an uncommon name) and Song (beautiful name) and Hugo— they all fit well with Kipo. 
Hugo later takes the name Scarlemagne— a play on ‘Scar’ and Charlemagne’. That’s so clever! 
There’s also Jamack, Troy, Dr Emilia (sounds like a normal human name, but still cool for an antagonist), and may we not forget Yumyan Hammerpaw. 
And then you have… Dave. Just Dave. Dave the Bug. Dave the metamorphosing bug mute. This is so hilarious, it’s perfect.

I find the fact that Hugo seems to be far more likely to ascribe ulterior motives to Wolf than to Kipo to be incredibly funny.
In 'All That Glitters', while Kipo is definitely doing it all out of love, everything Kipo does is an attempt to guide him towards her ideal outcome. And yet Hugo takes her at her word every time she insists otherwise. This despite her proving herself capable of outmaneuvering him (telegraphing her contingency plan in doing so) with her secret farmer rebellion in Corndog King. She played him like a fiddle in season 2 and yet in season 3 he still seems to be operating under the idea that she's too naive to ever be plotting anything behind anyone's back.
Meanwhile, Wolf is never anything but straight-forward in achieving her goals. She's consistently blunt in her methods and reasoning, yet Hugo is constantly looking for the hidden angle (that just isn't there). In 'Prahmises' he immediately assumes that Wolf tracked him down in order to interfere with his plan to assassinate Dr Emilia and is initially skeptical when she says otherwise.
All this is especially hilarious because Kipo's not even subtle. Like, at all. Like I pointed out earlier: she essentially revealed her back-up plan to Hugo while they played Corndog King and it just sailed past his radar. On the other hand, everyone else has always known that Kipo's kind actions, while genuine, are also part of Kipo's plan to bring about world peace. They just go along with it, usually because they know that trying to talk her out of it won't work. Wolf, Lio, Benson, even Dr Emilia, they all know Kipo's scheming. Hugo's the only one who somehow keeps missing the memo.

have i ever talked about hugo and liam???
how one died to save his sister, and how the other died because of his?
when hugo yells, "LEAVE MY SISTER ALONE!" at emilia in megamute form, did she think of liam at all?
just before he hits her, does she remember, ever so briefly, that she had a brother who would have done anything for her, too?

Thinking about how broken the Oak family was for so many years and how it was gradually mended, even gaining a new member, Wolf, about how stars were their family symbol, as seen by Hugo's blanket and the ceiling mural, and how they also bonded over their common interest, music singing, playing and dancing to it.
An endlessly compassionate jaguar girl, a deeply scarred feral child, an unhinged and reformed mutant mandrill, a flawed yet very loving father and a tortured but kind mother, a once fractured family made whole again by Kipo herself.

KIPO AU KIPO AU WEEWOOWEEWOO
Tumblr image formatting is working for me again. Alright
SOOOO Lt. Kipo, where Hugo stole her as a baby and they grew up as siblings, taking over the surface together. She brings out his compassion earlier on, while he raises her believing that Lio and Song only viewed them as experiments and not as actual children. It strikes me as a Silco and Jinx situation (what is it w me and that dynamic.) except Hugo is genuinely very emotionally wounded and traumatized, and a lot of what he does stems from a (very misguided) desire to protect Kipo from going through what he did.
Kipo is actually very similar to her original self, but more impulsive, a lot more abrasive when it comes to her friendliness, and with sum trust issues. Since she spent her infancy in a much more turbulent environment, her jaguar senses emerged early, and she is low-key in a constant state of fight or flight (why her eyes and ears are always out). She can relax, but her mute features never really completely disappear.
The star on her uniform is from the blanket btw--it becomes a symbol of their bond and their shared belief that they can’t rely on anyone else but each other. Woo 🥳

This poll is purely for research proposes, I do not wish to attack on anybody. It's just for funsies. Ok lets go.
Spoilers (just to be clear, I'm talking about the redemption arc of Hugo/Scarlemagne ending up with his death. I'm sorry but his redemption got concluded the moment he scream "Get away from my sister!", he did not needed to die)

Lio: Again, I freely admit that I assisted my wife in psychological experiments on lab animals. However, at that time, putting a pair of sunglasses on a monkey did not constitute cruelty!
Hugo: We’ll just agree to disagree.

Hello hello! It seems that you're feeling a bit salty about Kipo again, aren't you? I'm exactly in the same boat, I don't think I'll ever fully recover from That Incident lmao
Yeah, I was feeling fondness for Scarlemagne/Hugo, he'll always be one of my favorite characters (just got archived with other rotating interests, and now seems to be rotating back along with toh); and thinking again how much his life sucked, how he deserves better, and getting salty about S3. Honestly the kipo s3 salt never left me either, it just got buried. I've now got some salty posts I'm mulling over in my drafts too. And been looking at some new Scarlemagne/Hugo fic.

Kipo: And everyone has something. Something that makes them special. Maybe not something that's important to you, but it's still important. Every life has value. Scarlemagne: Except for Doctor Amelia's. Kipo: Well... Scarlemagne: And the mod frogs. And the opportunists selling bottled water for vastly inflated prices.  Scarlemagne: I have instructed my army to attack them. Not fatally, merely to the point where they soil themselves. Kipo, sighing: Why don't we quit while we're ahead.

I adore characters who are staunchly loyal/selfless with my whole heart because it's always so moving to see them laying their lives down on the line for others but that's the thing, they're always that one character who gives their life away in a heartbeat, the one who never values their own life and is way too self-sacrificing for their own good. I get attached to these characters so consistently because of course I do, and they usually either end up dead or get gravely injured while sticking their neck out for others and it rips my heart out every single time without fail.
Loyalty and selflessness can be such wonderful things but they can also be so destructive, both to yourself and others, which is why I wanna see more characters who are fiercely loyal/selfless but learn to not be so self-destructive and remain loyal either the hard way or the kind way, both is good. Just more deconstruction of loyalty, selflessness and such characters learning to actually value themselves would be nice.
