Found Family Tournament Round 1 Part 4 Group 17

Propaganda and further pictures under the cut

Spider Crew: White, Ariel, Sophia, Merazophis & Wrath

Joestar Group: Joseph Joestar, Jotaro Kujo, Noriaki Kakyoin, Jean-Pierre Polnareff, Muhammad Avdol, Iggy the Fool

Submissions are still open!

Spider Crew:

they've all lost everything and found each other. They're from an Isekai story where a gaggle of characters including White, Sophia, and Wrath were reincarnated into a fantasy world. (SPOILERS ahead if you've seen the anime these scenes have not been adapted from the books yet!) I won't make you hear the entire synopsis but I think the most telling thing is when they were marching into war with a planned high casualty rate Ariel asked White (who didn't have a name before Ariel started calling her White!!) what their chances were of winning and she said 50% then she asked her the chances of everyone living and White knew she meant their inner circle and internally listed the others I mentioned above and first thought it was very slim and then said 100% and made sure that was true. White was entirely alone and "liked it that way" before incidentally grouping up with the others listed above and now she cares about them so much. The world is ending and she needs to use every bit of magic energy she can to fix it but still offered to expend some of that to send the other reincarnations back to Earth and didn't extend it to the other reincarnations! Its no small thing! But she'll take the risk and sacrifice it for them! Ariel first said she was only protecting Sophia and Merazophis because she thought it would get her on White's good side but that's definitely not all there is to it anymore!

Also who doesn't love a found family that includes elements of previously attempting to kill each other (White vs Ariel and later the group vs Wrath)

I know the submissions post said some people can be related but let me be clear: technically Ariel is White's grandmother. I wanted to include the puppet sisters as well (Ael, Sael, Riel, and Fiel) but they're Ariel's children and that would make the group 6 related and 3 not and it felt too imbalanced then. You don't get much of a "familial bond" impression off of White and Ariel when they first meet or until book 7 whereas the puppets feel like Ariel's children the way they look up to her and she definitely mothers them. And ironically they feel more like White's nieces rather than her aunts lol

Unfortunately they become a fam in the books only after where the anime currently leaves off so there's very little official art of most of them and none including Wrath who didn't join the group until Volume 9 I think? (and the anime stops at the end of book 6 right before the other 4 group up ;n;) but I found some things :p

Joestar Group:

Iconic himbo squad off to defeat the world's bitchiest vampire. Each of them has their own personal reason to journey and varying skills to bring to the family.

Watch Your Words

Merry Christmas, @merazophis ! I’ve really enjoyed being your secret santa this year! I’m sorry this is a little late. But I learned from our little talks this past month and wrote you a soulmate fanfiction that I think you’ll enjoy. I’ve read a few soulmate Kaishin fics before, and wanted to switch up the usual formula of Kaito being the one really into soulmates while Shinichi is indifferent/hates them. I hope you like it!

Also, @dcmksecretsanta Thanks for letting me be involved this year! I hope to be a part of this for years to come!

Kaito hated the words that marked—no, branded his wrist in blue, messy handwriting.

“Kuroba? Any relation to Kuroba Toichi, the magician?”

It was almost innocent. He’d even liked it, when he was a kid. Kaito would proclaim he’d meet his soulmate quickly, since they were clearly a fan of his dad. His parents would laugh and ruffle his hair, because of course his soulmate would be a fan of Tou-san, how could they not be!

But it’s been ten years since Tou-san was murdered. And while people always said his dad was the greatest magician in the world… it grated on Kaito. He loved his dad, he always would!

But… Kaa-san always compared him to Tou-san. Jii-san too. Even Aoko and Nakamori-keibu…

Couldn’t his soulmate see him for himself?

Even being Kaitou KID, the greatest legacy Tou-san could have left for him, chafed.

Kuroba Kaito wasn’t a copy of Kuroba Toichi, you know!

But the cheering mob around him, frothing at the bit to see Kaito, no KID, perform… the mob didn’t care about him. They’d be just as happy to see him arrested than escape the police, no matter how devoted they pretend. He scanned the crowd, quickly finding the Suzuki girl in the crowd, but no sign of…

“Kaito!” Aoko grabbed his arm. “Come on, Hakuba-kun got us permission to enter the museum!”

Kaito sighed. He’d forgotten for a moment. He was part of the KID Investigation Squad, a group dedicated to capturing his own alter ego. It’d almost be funny if it wasn’t for his constant proximity to two of his enemies—Hakuba and Akako. A detective who wants to arrest him, and a witch who wants to enslave him. Even his best friend’s presence didn’t make up for theirs.

He yanked his arm out of Aoko’s grip. “Hey, I can walk by myself.”

She frowned. “What’s with you? You’re usually not this moody before KID heists.”

Truthfully, he was concerned. It’s been four months since Kaito last saw his favorite critic, the Holmes of the East turned pintsized detective. Edogawa Conan didn’t attend every heist, but missing all of them? For four months? Kaito had even stopped by the Mouri residence, in disguise of course, but there was no trace of the little detective. It was as if he’d just… disappeared. “It’s nothing. I’ve just been looking for someone.”

They pushed through the crowd and the officers in front let them in without a fuss, not knowing they’d just let Kaitou KID inside without even a face pinch. “They must be pretty important if Kaito stopped paying attention to a KID heist to look for them,” she said, eyeing him.

Kaito wrinkled his nose. “I don’t know about that,” he said in leu of a real answer.

The inside of the museum was lovely, but Kaito didn’t care about the décor. His eyes automatically checked the required elements for his magic—a tripwire here, a pully hidden among the skylights, a few distractions in the greenery. All undiscovered, at least so far. Sometimes he added a few traps that the task force was supposed to find and disarm, to keep their confidence up. It made the game more fun.

“Where’s Hakuba and Akako?” Kaito asked.

“Akako had to stay home today; she said something about this heist having the aura of death surrounding it.” She repeated Akako’s words like there wasn’t something deeply disturbing with them.

“What!? Why didn’t you tell me!?”

She glared. “Kaito would know if he bothered to check the group chat!”

“I check the group chat! I just have Hakubastard and Akako blocked on my phone!”

“Kaito!”

Several members of the task force were looking at them as they walked further into the building. He had to change the topic before they got kicked out. “What, so it’s just us and Hakuba today? Not that big of a loss then.”

“No. If someone actually used the group chat as intended, then they’d know that Hakuba-kun was bringing a friend to fill Akako’s place.”

“Hakuba has friends?”

Aoko punched him in the stomach. “We’re Hakuba-kun’s friends, Bakaito!”

“Speak for yourself,” Kaito muttered, rubbing where she hit him. “So, who is it?”

“Another detective is what he said.”

Another detective? Kaito had run into a few of them as his alter ego, but not many that Hakuba would want to work with. At least, Kaito was pretty sure Hakuba and Hattori didn’t get along. As they traveled through the halls, he was able to pick up Hakuba’s voice and headed towards that.

“—a bit worried, however. Weren’t you injured solving a big case recently?”

“I was,” answered a familiar voice. “But it’s been a few months and I’ve recovered quite nicely. Thank you for your concern though—and for the invite. I haven’t been to a KID heist in years.”

“You’ve previously attended KID heists?”

“Only one in the past few years, but when I was a child…”

They rounded the corner and Kaito was struck with the overwhelming desire to run. Because before him stood the formerly missing Detective of the East, Kudo Shinichi himself.

“Hakuba-kun!” Aoko exclaimed, running up to greet the two. Kaito swallowed the confusing rush of excitement and relief and followed. Kudo, as Conan, knew KID’s voice and was smart enough to figure out what Hakuba had. Maybe even smart enough to find evidence. This was going to be difficult, Kaito thought giddily. “Who’s your friend?”

“Aoko-kun, this is Kudo Shinichi; he reached out to me for help in getting involved with the KID case. Kudo-kun, this is Nakamori Aoko, Nakamori-keibu’s daughter. And this—” His eyes met Kaito’s and a glint entered into them. “is the person I mentioned earlier: Kuroba Kaito.”

His eyes locked with Kudo’s, and Kaito felt the familiar, electrifying zing that came with facing off against the KID killer. And then, Kudo said, “Kuroba? Any relation to Kuroba Toichi, the magician?”

It was like a bucket of water washed over him. Almost automatically, Kaito spat back, “I think I’ve become well known in my own right, Meitantei.”

Time stopped as they processed each other’s words. Kudo’s face flushed as Kaito felt all the blood drain out of his body. It could be… but he said… and then… He didn’t even disguise his voice!

He had to get out of there.

Kudo opened his mouth to speak, but Kaito cut him off. “We should split up,” he said despite knowing how much suspicion Hakuba would cast onto him. “I’ll head to the room with the jewel, see if I can spot any of KID-sama’s traps. You guys… do detective stuff, or whatever.” He speed-walked away, back down the hall they came from.

“Wait, Kuroba!”

“Kaito!”

But by the time they turned the corner, he was gone.

Despite himself, Kaito found himself repeating Kudo’s words and his reply in his head all night. Soulmate words were special—even if another person was in a disguise or you had heard their voice before, the only words that counted were the ones spoken at you as yourself. So, it made sense that they weren’t Conan and KID’s first words to each other.

But Kaito wished that wasn’t the case. Wished that he’d grown up with the cheery “Fireworks!” on his wrist, wished that Kudo hadn’t grown up with his harsh reply on his. He hadn’t even meant to be one of those people who leave cruel words on their soulmate’s skin.

Kaito had hoped that he could avoid Kudo for the entirety of the heist, but as he was checking the jewel of the night, Kudo spoke up behind him. “Nakamori-san explained for you.”

He turned. There was only Kudo up there with him, awash in the full moon. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” He tried.

“You’re not going to pretend, right?” Kudo cocked an eyebrow. “I know it’s you, Kuroba, even if I don’t want to prove it.” Wait, Kudo doesn’t want to do what? “You’re still the person who saved my life as Edogawa Conan; what you call yourself doesn’t matter to me.”

“I’m afraid you’re mistaken, Meitantei,” Kaito tried again. “You see, I only took Kuroba-san’s form in order to sneak inside the museum—”

“I doubt that. There are only so many people who look like me without the use of a rubber mask and KID has used my face several times to get past task force security. Besides, soulmate words only work when both are undisguised; there’s a famous court case about how a vigilante when free because his arresting officer was his soulmate and they weren’t able to testify against him.”

Kaito sighed. He knew Kudo was smart but… “I’m sorry,” he said instead. “I didn’t mean to snap at you.”

“Like I said, Nakamori-san already explained your… hang up with the words I left you. If anything, I should be the one apologizing—”

“No—”

“—the only reason I asked, though, was because my mother was one of Kuroba Toichi’s students. She speaks fondly of your family.”

Now he really felt like shit. “Kudo, really, I’m the one who needs to apologize. It’s my fault that cruel words have been branded on your wrist.”

“I never minded them, and they’re not as cruel as you think. If anything, they’ve been… kind of encouraging?”

“Encouraging?” How could those words ever be encouraging, it’s basically beratement!

Kudo shrugged. “I grew up knowing that my soulmate would think I’ve a great detective. If anything, I should thank you; I’m not sure I would even be a detective without the words you’ve given me.”

Kaito spoke without thinking. “I can’t even imagine a world without you as a detective. You’re made for it.”

Kudo flushed, the red reaching up to his ears. “I… thank you.”

Soulmates didn’t have to be romantic—in fact, platonic soulmates were more common in the east than the west. He and Kudo could spend their lives with a lovely friendship, or even rivalry. But despite himself…

Kaito thought Shinichi’s blushing face was rather cute.

Finished binge-reading So I’m a Spider vol 6.

It feels like a nice breather volume, especially considering all that went down previously. Everything was like a non-stop roller coaster ride at first, but with this volume the characters finally got a chance to actually breathe and think on things.

I like the character development Sophia went through, even though she ended up sliding a bit in the wrong direction there at the end (lol @ that Yandere comment). The focus on Merazophis was nice, too. The bits about Ronandt running around Elroe while wearing nothing were hilarious. Certainly much better than what I could gather of those scenes from turb0’s absolutely butchered translations of the web novel.

Reading Wakaba talk is still super trippy, though, since I’m so used to her not saying anything due to being a spider. I still like her narration quite a lot, even if we didn’t get as much of her perspective this time. She’s just got such good energy as a character, y’know? She’s pretty great.

Anyway, those are my impressions and takes on things. Good breather volume, while still advancing the plot with all sorts of foreshadowing.

Mera: “I’m an alpha male”. No, you’re not. You’re an ass that thinks talking over people makes you important.

Mera: Do you even know what an alpha does? They feed and protect the pack. Where’s your fanny pack full of cheesy crackers, Potimas

So I’m a Spider, So What?, Vol. 6

By Okina Baba and Tsukasa Kiryu. Released in Japan as “Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?” by Fujimi Shobo. Released in North America by Yen On. Translated by Jenny McKeon.

Alas, for those who want to know what happened after the cliffhanger on the “hero” side of these books, you’re still going to have to wait. The sixth volume takes place entirely in the “past” part of the books, showing our spider heroine, Ariel, Sophia and Merazophis mostly going from town to town and bonding, while at the same time the world recovers from the battle that happened in the fifth book. The non-Spider parts of the narrative bounce between Sophia, who may be a vampire baby but is also a reincarnation, so we get her thoughts on everything that’s going on, and Ronandt, the elder mage who honestly spends most of the book as ridiculous comic relief till he finally snaps out of it. There is one big battle near the end, featuring a much better Giant Spider Invasion than the one we saw on MST3K, but for the most part this book is far more introspective than previous volumes. There’s barely any stat listings!

I am at last allowed to talk about the spider heroine while using a name. Ariel names her White, fitting her appearance. This is in fact something of a power play, as naming something works the way it does in a lot of high fantasy, but it doesn’t have much effect on White as she’s already ridiculously powerful. Indeed, after Ariel figures out exactly HOW White is able to continue to be immortal, she reluctantly concludes that she HAS to ally with her, as not doing so could be disastrous. As for White herself, her thought processes are still “teenager with no real moral or ethical sense’, who’s able to cheerfully force a baby to march through the forest in order to build up their stats. That said, she’s definitely better off being influenced by Ariel, as we find when she has to confront her parallel minds, who have gone rogue and decided to destroy all of humanity. Thus we get the one battle of the book, as it’s spider vs. spider.

Ronandt, as I said, is still reeling from his first encounter with White, and unfortunately proceeds to learn exactly the wrong lesson from it, which is to try to study the spiders in the labyrinth to see how they grow stronger. The humor here has a dark edge to it, as while it’s somewhat amusing to see Ronandt run around nude and be treated as creepy by anyone who sees him, it also reminds the reader that White is a SPIDER, and that the ways that she gets stronger are not human ways. Nor should they be. This leads to a rare heartwarming moment in this mostly cynical book, where he realizes why he became a mage in the first place and goes out to stop the spider invasion even though he knows it will mean his death. (Fortunately, White gets there first.) I also liked him bonding with Julius, here a young and emotionally broken hero rather than the confident (and dead) older brother figure we meet later.

There’s some other good stuff here, such as the confrontation with the Pontiff who runs the world’s largest religion, or Sophia’s reflection on her past life (she was the stereotypical bullied nerd) and why she hates White so much (White was sort of like Komi in that her paralyzing inability to communicate came off as cool beauty.) It’s enough to make this volume very good indeed, even though I wish we’d checked back to the future with the other reincarnated cast.
