This is a longer post, but I didn’t feel there was a way to make it shorter. I divided it up by sections in the hopes that this makes it easier to read.
I also want to make the following clear:
This post is not exclusively about, but does delve into the headcanon that Ingo and Emmet are autistic. I myself am neurodivergent, but not autistic. My roommate is autistic and is the author of this post (which you should read if you haven’t already as it will add more context to mine). I have run this post by and taken input from her, as well as other autistic people, because I do not want to speak over or for people, nor do I want to offend anyone. If I have made a mistake, it was not my intention and I will do my best to learn and correct it.
I am also not calling out or attacking anyone; I deliberately made descriptions of art or posts vague as to not make anyone feel singled out. I’m not here to attack anyone, but rather bring up issues I’ve seen in earlier Submas content that seems to be repeating itself.
Bl*nkshippers dni–I will block you.
Under a cut for length as well as possible warnings for ableism, stigma towards mental illness, and descriptions of depictions of violent fanart.

If there is One Clip of the Anime!Subway Masters I can upload here, it's gotta be this one.
(Childhood) submas headcanons:
- They probably got bullied
- Their bullies show up to the battle subway one day and Emmet has a fieldtrip insulting them after they lose. For once Ingo doesn't stop him.
- Emmet has more trouble waking up in the morning for school/work
- Ingo would make Emmet's sandwiches for him if he got up too late for school
- They shared a room as kids but each side was decorated differently
- Plushies of their favorite pokemon
- Practicing their poses in the mirror ofcourse
- Ingo is better at school subjects like history while Emmet is better at stuff like math. Idk it makes sense to me
- matching bracelets when they were kids
- Ingo would study beforehand while Emmet would do it last minute
- Ingo would probably help Emmet study if he was short on time
- Fake Pokémon battles on the playground
- Emmet is one cm taller than Ingo
- Or Ingo is taller idk i can't decide but i feel like they're not the same height
- they share an unmreblla
- if they couldn't reach something as kids Emmet would sit on Ingo's shoulders
- they speak multiple languages!!
Something funny I noticed the other day*
*read tags
This is fastest I’ve ever churned out a comic, and it was fueled by needing to see Emmet ride on top of a train thats on fire. Fandom said Emmet gets to be unhinged, and i said “say less” lmaoo
I just need them to reunite, I’m begging.
Bonus dumb thing:
I am now suspicious too. I wonder if their suit colors also reflect train colors.
In the main games, their regular uniforms are just black and white to fit the theme of the games they're from. But I'm convinced with Masters EX.
Again, the E5. Compare Emmet’s EX:
And now, the E6:
Compare Ingo’s EX:
I've had my suspicions about this since sometime in August last year. I'm actually fairly sure I'm right, but there's no way to confirm it, so.
I’m not sure about their new Masters EX alts, but I’m going to look into that and see what I can sort out!
What’s it for? yeah.
Ingo
Confirmed Canon Information
- Bad at facial expressions but good as vocal expressions (his face looks very neutral even when he sounds excited)
- Speaks very loudly, has no indoor voice
- While this is more obvious in the Japanese games, Ingo speaks in a overly polite/formal way
- Yells “BRAVO” when anything smth he finds exciting happens
- Left handed
Manga Depiction
- Appears to be easily frustrated when losing battles
- Emmet’s impulse control through brute force, will simply grab and remove Emmet when he’s being too abrasive
- Repeats the name of the trains destinations in the speaker after Emmet does the first announcement. Maybe this is just a thing trains do but it’s important to me.
- More expressive than in the games (not by a large margin)
Pokemon Masters
- Seems to have an overbearing sense of responsibility(?)
- Hisui is not the first time he’s been transported into a different universe for unexplained reasons.
- Does not seem to be aware that his face doesn’t show the emotions he’s feeling.
- Most of his conversations are about trains and rail systems.
Emmet
Confirmed Canon Information
- His face is always very expressive but he speaks in a monotone way ( he will look very excited and yet talk in a very neutral way)
- While this is more obvious in the Japanese games, Emmet speaks in a more informal way than his brother
- Gets very serious while battling
- Right handed
- Starts the majority of his sentences with “I am Emmet”
- Says “very” as “verrrry”
- Likes winning more than anything else
- Prefers double battles
Manga
- Will loudly announce he is going to eavesdrop on your conversation as he walks towards you
- This depiction of Emmet appears to generally be louder and more energetic
- Does this weird stiff walk a lot
- Mainly does the location announcements on the train speakers. Idk how you call them.
Pokemon Masters
- Really looks up to Ingo
- Prefers the rules of a double battle
- Puts a great deal of importance on safety
- Seems to have a thing with combinations; he states multiple times that he loves combinations when it comes to pokemon battles and takes great interest in the sync pairs system.
- Mentions Ingo a lot
- Considers him and Ingo as “each other’s closest rivals”

Bonus dumb thing:
THAT. LITTLE. BLUSH.
Other Cells in the body: We do not have a dark or embarrassing past. We cannot be blackmailed.
Dendritic cell:
This is what I think, backed up by in-game evidence.
Also, let me preface this by saying that this is for those of us who want reassurance. I ask that you do not reblog this and add your theories that he won’t go home, and absolutely do not DM me your theories or headcanons as to why he won’t. I’m not interested in them, especially not from people I don’t know, and I will block you if you do this. I’m serious about this because my friend and roommate, 1863-project, made a post seeking reassurance and asking for spoilers confirming he went home, if they existed, when it leaked a few weeks ago that Ingo would be in Legends: Arceus the way he is. Instead she had strangers DMing her their theories without asking, which was rude and the exact opposite of what she’d asked for. Submas has helped both of us in different ways; neither of us wants to see Ingo trapped in Hisui. Spoilers start here.
