Kay, but the part where Yoshie is the glue is so relevant in the show/manga. Tyson has literally not seen his brother or father in years. It’s been so long since he’s seen Hitoshi, that he doesn’t even recognize him when he’s dressed up as Gin of the Gale. Like, this kid really only has his grandfather left. But I seriously wonder what would happen if his grandfather died as well. Will Tyson be forced to fend for himself? Or will someone come home to take care of him? And who would it be, his father or his brother? Neither person are fit to raise a child.
(Sis got one manga panel so imma try do her justice)
Her hair is a cerulean blue colour; not as dark as Takao’s but darker than Hitoshi’s.
She’s from a secluded village (possibly Daichi’s) and she was a well known Beyblader there. Tatsuya had an archaeology trip there and that’s how they met.
Metal Driger was her blade originally; she gave it to Hitoshi before she died.
Her personality was similar to Takao’s; he got his eating habits from her.
Her and Hitoshi were inseparable.
She was the glue that held the family together and the Kinomiya’s have rarely been together since.
Hitoshi taught Takao how to blade as a way cope with his own grief however, Tatsuya still suggested that he leave home to take his mind off it.
Grandpa absolutely adored her and he took care of her when she was sick.
Her death affected Takao more than he lets on but he’s reluctant to open up about it as he knows he spent the least amount of time with her. He thinks his grief isn’t valid in comparison to everyone else’s.
She loved her boys :)

Bakugan fans, I delivered on my promise. I wrote the story where Alice and Masquerade are separate people after BBB and now they're living their lives as "adopted" siblings. This is just the first chapter of at least twenty.

(Why do they look like proud parents in the second pic?)
It says a lot when a crew demonstrates their talent by creating such a complex character with so little time left. The Collector (Naturally, spoilers ahead) Many suspected the redemption. But it’s not just the fact that it happened. It’s the way it was handled. So, let’s do a recap on how everything went, shall we?
Betrayed and used by the Archivists. His siblings. Family. The ones who are suppose to love, teach and protect you. Thrown away into an unknown planet, full of the only creatures that could overcome their magic.
Said family destroyed what were likely the Collector’s first, genuine friends.
Locked away by one of the very same species he had befriended for what his siblings did, for who knows how many years, being alone and forgotten for something they didn’t do.
Finally found by a human, whom the kid really thought was his friend, even trying to amuse his homicidal delusions.
Helped fulfill the man’s objective, but instead of being released as promised, is discarded like garbage along a mountain of corpses.
Get his freedom back after almost giving up, considering King a friend despite initially suspecting even him. A time to rejoice and play, unaware of the damage and trauma being done and becoming dangerously protective of his new friend.
Luz, someone King has talked about a lot and is even jealous of, comes back, apparently to destroy him and take King away, and yet, the Collector never means any genuine harm and is so desperate for companionship that wants to befriend even her. Looks so happy at the possibility of the trio befriending him that is completely unaware he’s being manipulated again.
Gets hurt in all the games being summoned, completely unaware that his new playmates are simply surviving.
Having lived with a madman that destroyed the Grimwalkers he created for hundreds of years only to recreate them again? No wonder he thought even mortal life was as easy to fix as any broken toy, which he demonstrates so casually.
Instead of retaliating, the kid chooses to sulk in a corner, so tired of being used and hurt that it didn’t take long for Luz, the second human he ever met, to get them to open up and explain everything. So disheartened he is about being used and betrayed that tries to force himself to accept the pretending part of everything, even friendship.
Is taught a lesson in friendship, which is taken by heart, to the point the Collector tries it on Belos of all people, someone he helped for +400 years only to cruelly betray him.
He truly wanted everyone to be friends and learn to forgive, even turning back to Luz to show her how much they learned, even looking like he wants her to be proud of him.
Sees his new friend get killed in front of him and not even his magic can do anything about anything.
Not only is his new friend gone, but there’s much damage he indirectly caused, like trying to befriend Belos and accidentally gave him the idea to possess the Titan. Not to mention the trauma he caused to all the residents of the isles.
Suddenly, we see the Collector’s true nature. A scared, overpowered little kid who didn’t know any better because everybody he met used him and never taught him the value of life. He just wanted friends. And now, he can only watch helplessly as his remaining friends go mad with grief and fury, and not even his powers can save them.
Tears for the first time. Despite everything the kid’s been through, it’s Luz’s death that affects him the most. Luz, the human who got them to open up, who was so patient and kind, who didn’t hesitate for a second to save him from Belos’ blast and even assured him they did good, was now gone. All that was left for him is to apologize for everything and beg Eda and King to run away.
Luz is back to save them from certain death, but it wasn’t his magic that brought her back and he must’ve known that. She looked like a Titan and was even using their magic, which he recognized earlier. Plus he also acknowledged Titans were more powerful than anyone, even Collectors. But there was no time to rejoice or process everything immediately. What mattered most is that she was back, even clinging to her subconsciously so he wouldn’t lose her again.
But Belos was still a threat. Not even the Collector’s powers were enough to stop him anymore. He did the only thing he could do to help; keep the Archives afloat. Despite being weakened and struggling, he actually takes the time to smile at the Hexsquad to demonstrate the friendliness and will to help.
Belos is gone. The Collector is exhausted, but probably still more than capable enough of taking on the Hexsquad with a snap of his fingers. Instead, he chooses to cower, bracing themselves for any potential scold or punishment, preferring that over the risk of hurting anybody else ever again.
Tears for the second time, this time in absolute relief and happiness. The people he innocently tormented so much were offering peace and friendship.
Despite the hardship and trials, the Collector chooses to return to the stars alone for some growth, a sharp contrast from the kid who didn’t want to be alone. But... this shows how much they learned and matured. Not only can they watch the Boiling Isles better from the sky, but it also gives everyone a chance to get used to him and take the time forgive him for everything.
And yet... he can visit whenever he wants. He’s free at last. Free to make choices. King considers him a real friend now, and he’s likely in the process of making more... all thanks to Luz, whom he shows gratitude to by not only gifting her a portal door to come and go whenever she pleases, but also giving her a spectacular display of light for her birthday.
In the end, after everything the Collector has been through... that’s one heck of a character development. Even though Luz was used by the same person, at least she had many friends and parental figures in her life. The Collector didn’t have any of that. His only genuine friends were eliminated and spent possibly eons imprisoned in a dark realm, being used and manipulated for hundreds of years, with nobody there to play with or befriend.
Bonus: Being himself... saved many lives. By turning everybody into puppets not only spared them of the horror that would come later, but by gathering everybody in one single place also saved every citizen on the isles. Just imagine the number of casualties we would've gotten when Titan Belos started blasting everything on sight and raising the corpse's arm while everybody was still scattered.
Everything is blue
His pills, his hands, his jeans
And now I'm covered in the colors pull apart at the seams
And it's blue. And it's blue.
Everything is grey
His hair, his smoke, his dreams
And now he's so devoid of color
He don't know what it means
And he's blue. And he's blue.
I made Masquerade VERY dramatic in this fic. Like, he won’t calm down. I love him.
Alright. Fuck it. I’m writing a fic where Alice and Masquerade become separate identities after BBB and they have a sibling/mentor relationship. I want to see them bond.
that's actually so sad, yet so cute!!! they really wanted their daughter to have at least ONE friend on her big day
In the first episode, Casey reveals that she’s 13 years old to James Jr and Adria...
In "Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow" it's implied that Lunella, Casey, and their classmates are in 8th grade. This would make them 13-14.
It's usually tradition that Jewish girls have their Bat Mitzvahs on their 12th birthdays (13th for the boys). But they can be postponed by the Bat/Bar Mitzvah kids or their parents. And with what we've seen so far, Casey's dads are big on the Bat Mitzvah traditions, but also want her to be happy.
And we know that before Lunella, Casey didn't have any friends.
