In a perfect world these 3 would all be happy and living there life together. Aiding planets, stopping pirates, and being the cutest polycule in the galaxy
Alas….all we high republic fans know is trauma. God I love these books
If Ash ever comes back in the anime I hope that he’s 1) Aged up with the time skip and 2) I think he deserves a new team to celebrate.
I would want him to be a mentor figure for Liko, Roy, and Dot. A sort of older brother figure and obstacle for them to overcome. He’s sort of their “Leon” and could fill the role of Juliana/Florian from the games. Due to the show taking place after the events of the game we can say that Ash already traveled through Paldea. If so, here’s the team I would give him.
1) Pikachu- Goes without saying, would love to see him face Cap
2) koraidon- He traveled with him while going around Paldea and is his “boss” legendary. Similar to Liko’s Terapagos and Roy’s “assumed” Rayquaza.
3) Dudunspace (3-segment) Ash has never been able to catch a dunsparce, and what better that to give him the rare 3-segment form to show what the world champion can do. The sleep “rowlet” type Pokemon of the team.
4) Annihilape- I imagine we went back and found his old Primeape, evolving it into a beast of a fighter.
5) Ogerpon- Ash experienced the events of the DLC, having a rivalry with Kieran over Ogerpon choosing to travel with Ash. She’s sweet and offers an adorable factor to the team.
6) Mega Lucario- the only other returning Pokemon, Ash’s lucario can serve as a mentor to Roy’s shiny lucario.
I’ve really been loving Madoka Magia Exedra and I can’t wait for future events. I never got the opportunity to play Magia Record 😭 but this game has been so much fun. I genuinely log in every day to play a level, event, and earn supplies. The Gacha system is admittedly evil but Im thankful with how lucky I’ve been.
I got a free Mami off the daily free Madokami pull!!!
With the rumored Doppel-Iroha on the way *which I’m hyped for* I think this opens the door for a lot of fun characters. Obviously all characters with Doppels could have new kioku but the game could really do something special for Candeloro & Ophelia.
They could release labyrinths for these two witches at the same time they release the Doppel Mami/Kyoko banners. We never got them as bosses for Magia Record so it would be nice to bring them back from the PSP game. Imagine exploring these areas, it would be breathtaking for sure!
On that note, I’m hoping that we get a new labyrinth when they release Mabayu instead of an event but that’s just me.
I’m hoping for a lot of hype when the Rebellion story gets released as well.
ALSO- while im here, i really hope wraith arc gets some love. Getting o fight wraiths for the first time, Bow-Homura Kioku, wraith-Madoka, what more could you want!?
Look at how incredible this is! I cannot wait to get this in person and actually read it. I know that the audio book is also going to go so hard *just like they all do*
Plus it’s going to be 500+ pages…..we are so not ready for what this book is about to bring. With everything, I know it’s gonna be a rollercoaster from start to finish.
I’ve been keeping up with the High Republic since it was first announced and seeing these characters grow and change has been such an emotional/fulfilling journey. It’s gunna be hard to say goodbye to these characters for awhile. I’m gunna miss em so much. Avar, Elzar, Stellan, Vernestra, Marchion, Bell, Keevee, Xylan Graff, Marda, Kevmo, Loden, Imri, and Gavi all of you will have my heart forever 🫶🏽🫶🏽😭
Very excited to see more acolyte merch, and we're finally getting our first official "figure" of the stranger!
I think things like this are important, characters like Torbin and Aniseya probably won't get much merch so getting things like this in the collection is always exciting
Definitely gunna try to get 1 of each in my collection
Also- how cool would it be to get something like this for the High Republic books. Getting figures feels like a dream but something like this could be a more realistic goal and I know high republic fans would love it
Imagine a mini-Marchion, Loden, or Avar Kriss!
A phase 1 & phase 2 wave would be sick! I feel like we need something big to kick off the final wave of high republic books
Really excited about this new manga that was announced recently!
Knowing that we’re finally getting more stories set in the sequel era is exciting and it will be interesting to see someone so disconnected from the Jedi try and piece together what it means to be a Jedi knight.
Rey had Luke, Leia, and the ancient Jedi texts and she now has the tools to guide the new generation.
Plus connecting the high republic to this era works soooo well thematically. The Jedi of this era were more open to change and operated more freely within the republic and I think that Rey’s new Jedi order could return back to these roots while adding more layers of growth. And that potential “dark sider” behind her could be trying to learn about the sith of the past and trying to emulate that, and taking the wrong lessons from their failures and this leading to his own defeat.
Very excited to pick this story up!
Seeing the Celebration Announcement for “The Ronin” has been hyped for more Visions figures down the road.
First off, the quality of the packaging itself, and then the wired soft-goods robe and droid really delicate the figure. This is what Black Series figures should be, and hopefully we’ll get to S.H figurearts levels of quality & accessories. I’m technically a vintage collection collector but i definitely pick up Black Series figures if they really strike me.
I’d love to see more Visions figures get made in both scales.
F is from my favorite Visions EP in the whole series and I desperately need a figure of her. Lop & her droid would be a unique sculpt for the line while Juro is just such a badass and would look great on the shelf. And finally, The Bandit Leader Kuro is a must so we can display her battling the Ronin.
From S2, Aau and the Sith Mother both have very different but incredibly unique designs while the Jedi & Sith from “Journey to The Dark Head” are such a perfect pair. That Sith design is so dark & sleek, imagine that chain lightsaber on the shelf!
My hopes are that we get a Celebration announcement of a High Republic figure that has such grand packaging like this. An Avar, Stellan, or Marchion would be a ✨Dream✨ collection item and would cap off the publishing event in a nice way I think.
Recently finished S3 of Castelvania and goddamn is it a hit to the gut. The season started out with a more hopeful, cheerful tone and then the last 3 episodes really go for the jugular. I’m very excited to see where these characters end up in season 4.
Trevor & Sypha are more traumatized than ever. Sypha especially, having experienced this level of trauma for the first time *potentially* and Trevor regressing into his old ways of thinking
Alucard is feeling used, alone, and vengeful. Trying to make friends and striving to be like his mom and then getting used while the most vulnerable.
Hector is a slave/pet. The one thing he understood and tried to push humanity into he himself has become.
Issac is the only one to have come out winning this season, being such a great representation of a morally grey poc character. I’m honestly rooting for him tbh
I will forever defend Wraith Arc and I wanted to expand on my thoughts for a labyrinth for Magia Exedra.
Obviously the wraiths would be basic enemies and, as we work through each level the wraiths level up as well. We could start fighting the basic wraith, then acolyte wraiths-Enlightenment Wraiths-Deliverance Wraiths. The final boss of the level could be the Spindle Witch.
We’ve never gotten to see the spindle witch in color and that’s a fucking crime. Suleika looks SO GOOD in the game and I think the spindle witch deserves that some treatment.
They should run a Kioku banner for Bow-Homura and Wraith-Madoka “Wraithdoka”. For Homura I’m think she should remain as a dark-attribute attacker but with a different skill. And Wraith Madoka should be a Void-attribute debuffer. Those seem like the best options in my opinion but feel free to disagree.
I finally got a a hard copy of Wraith Arc and rereading it has me excited for the potential for finally seeing it appear and hey, I didn’t make it to Magia Record so here’s our chance!
Kinda niche but I hope that we get a cool moment for master Xo Lahru by the end of phase 3. He’s 1 of only 4 cannon grandmasters we have so far and I would love to know more about him.
Pra-Tre veter got such a badass end to his character fitting of a grandmaster, having an incredible show of strength in the shadows of starlight comic. We’ve also gotten to know him and his personally quite well in the Yoda comics and shadows of starlight, while also having a historic death that really impacted me while reading it.
That Fight scene in Shadows of starlight will forever live rent free in my head tbh. And the armor he wears is top notch, and I’ll always be a Master Veter defender
I think Pra-Tre really had the “grandmaster aura” and I hope we get the some love for Lahru and Ry Ki-Sakka because they have such cool designs and I don’t want that potential to be wasted
Took a break from Star Wars for a bit after The Acolyte and had the pleasure of exploring some other fandoms for while
Now that I’m divining back in there’s so much more high republic media I gotta catch up with in 2025
Looking forward to to how much joy and ✨Trauma✨ that the High Republic gives me
