This is starting to look like Muppets Babies
Thank you, new Okamiden trailer, you just mindraped me without lube.
Okay, first of all, the other two companions (why do I feel this canon is my very own Doctor Who?). Actually, I really like their design! And they're girls! I mean, guys, I love how female characters are in Okami, showing that you can be awesome and do so much without being an idiot yielding a sword -I have no idea if this is an unpopular opinion or not, as there's not a lot of meta discussion about gender dynamics or anything deep at all in this fandom. But well, I'm glad we have more variety and it's not going to become a sausage fest of little boys on Chibiterasu's back.
I really don't understand why a mermaid, though. And one looking so stereotypically Western-looking, at that. Why not having a Draconian girl as a companion instead? They didn't do a lot with that race, so they couldn't be butchering it that much. (My inner 9 year-old girl is still "eeeee pretty mermaid!!1one!" despite this. I loved mermaids.)
Why the fuck is Kokari the same age he was before? I just. MAKE UP YOUR MIND, CANON.
...Brush God fishies? What is this, the constellation of Pisces?
Is the baby monkey Brush God playing a vuvuzela? It looks like one.
Yay for Samurai Dandy prancing in the trailer. Also, apparently most of my brain seems to be wasting space in remembering random Sei-an NPCs.
OKAY, THIS IS OUT OF THE WAY. TIME FOR THE 'WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN' MOMENT.
JUST. I. UH. WHO THE FUCK IS THAT?!
My God, I want to believe it's just a random Moon Tribe kid, but the clothes are pink and purple and they're wearing red tengu geta. That's so fucking specific! I JUST. WHO DO I PUNCH FOR THIS?
IS THAT A CHILD OF WAKA? IS THAT A CLONE? IS THAT AN AU BABY VERSION? IS THAT A FANBOY WHO BOUGHT A BOX OF L'OREAL AND DECIDED TO FOLLOW WAKA'S LEGACY? OR DID WAKA DE-AGE HIMSELF FOR THE LULZ?
(I'll laugh if it's the latter because I just read House of Many Ways and that means he pulled a Howl! But then I'll cry because that means he's in this trainwreck of a game and he will be canon butchered. NOT SURE IF WANT.)
I, um, hope it's not a baby of his even if it's most likely the correct option. Because I don't think I want to know who the mother is? It's not a matter of shippiness (even if it would be kind of funny if this kid was Ammy's too and therefore Chibi's sibling, if only to squick everyone in the fandom out.) Because, most likely, this will be his kid with someone else, and I'm more annoyed at the fact this means he ran off to the Celestial Plain without caring about abandoning his child, making him a very jerk of a father. It's a matter of circumstances, not him sleeping with people and shit. Hell, it was 200 years, I'd be surprised if he didn't go and get some action.
Plus blegh, everyone having babies all of the sudden.
I'M OVERTHINKING THIS AGAIN, AREN'T I?
