Ok, I Know How Boring The Idol Stuff I Talked About The Last Time. I Had To Setup The Groundwork For

Ok, I know how boring the idol stuff I talked about the last time. I had to setup the groundwork for it though. Here’s the tournament arc.

A rich sponsor has shaken up the underground. They are hosting the very first idol tournament. The first place winner will get a record deal with a bonus.  For 3 months witches will perform and gain points to be able to compete. Only the top 10 can be the finalists. In order to rank up or down, witches will either have to win battles or do a lot of events to gain popularity. Any battles lost will have point deductions depending.

The sponsor has created a Vote feature to spice up the tournament. Whoever is the first to hype up most or the whole crowd, they get to do a flashy combo at the end of the song like a special dance move.

Everyone has picked up training and the competition culture is now in the underground. The friendly nature of concerts is over. 

The protagonist is having trouble keeping up with ranking but won’t slack in battles. She is sad to see her once close friends turn into rivals. She desperately tries to keep the friend group together with lots of fun collaborations and hangouts.

She barely scraps by with winning many large scale competitions and fan events. Three of her friends made it to the finale. She manages to gain the crowd vote and wow everyone with a new outfit, along with a new Effect.

The sponsor is impressed by this and reveals himself to be a pretentious heir. He gave witches a spotlight and got entertainment out of it too. 

The protagonist is not happy with winning and impulsively decides that he has to give a record deal to not only her but her four friends, or else she won’t take the prize. In a tough spot if he doesn’t sign someone, he signs all five of them.

The five of them are now a group and work as a unit. They have to build up their trust and chemistry before their first unit concert together or else they will be disbanded by the heir’s dad. The snobby heir is assigned their manager by his dad and has to keep up with all their schedules. 

Fourth installment of Digital Story. Here goes some sad stuff.

Once they come back after saving the Digital World, the kids are arrested by the Data Squad and then have their memories wiped. Vallura goes to high school with Kenny after her “summer vacation.” She meets Abby and Sora at school. Kenny notices she is not as cheerful as she used to be and investigates the vacation. He wishes he could help her and ToyAgumon resonates with him, escaping to the human world to find him. Upon meeting ToyAgumon, he remembers his time in the Digital World and vows to get everyone to remember to. Him and ToyAgumon work together to smuggle the other digimon to the Human World and get everyone to remember.

The DATS Squad 2 are on the case and try to stop them. Kenny and ToyAgumon defeat one of them and are able to leave. They didn’t recognize the digimon and couldn’t see Kenny’s face so they don’t know who it is. After more encounters, DATS is able to find out who it is.

The squad decided to transfer their school to keep an eye on them. Vallura is the last one who cannot remember and it is affecting her deeply. DATS try to prevent her from remembering. Kenny is not happy having classes with DATS.

The ice skating episode in Ranma 1/2 is one of the best. I shall talk about my spinoff’s take on it. 

While ice skating with his 3 friends, the protagonist is mocked by two pro figure skaters. The protagonist’s handsome crush and best friend stands up for him. The male pro skater recognizes him though. 

The protagonist’s friend used to be a famous hockey skater before quitting due to a concussion. The pro skaters mock them worse and even challenges the protagonist’s friend to a skating competition. With a hurt pride and wanting to stop the torment, the protagonist’s best friend agrees to it. He is now panicking because he doesn’t know another figure skater who can help him.

The protagonist feels sorry for him and agrees to help him look for someone. Again, the protagonist doesn’t know anymore else so she asks her cursed Swan friend to help out. The Swan agrees since the protagonist did help her out with the gymnastic club. It makes the protagonist jealous that she cannot help her friend in any other way.

The fight scenes and battle is a little blurry to me in this episode, but I will attempt to describe it all. The Swan and protagonist’s crush go against the two pro skaters. Without knowing it was a fighting match too, they are overwhelmed. The Swan has to do most of the leg work and fighting while the her skating partner adapts. It turns out he’s pretty flexible and agile on ice. 

In what’s supposed to be the finishing blow, the pro skaters slam the Swan into the wall and injures her whole back. Not wanting her friend dead, the protagonist switches with her in her female form. They work together to finish off the two. In the middle of the battle, the male pro skater kisses her and catches her off guard. They almost lose when the ice breaks and releases cold water. The protagonist changes into their male form and is thrown a more fitted outfit by their cousin. 

Their crush is surprised by their appearance, but brushes it off as he just needs any partner. Once they defeat the two, the female pro skater is so in love with the protagonist that she kisses them. Thrown so off guard, the protagonist tries to flee before getting interrupted by their snake rival.

I really like the tea ceremony martial arts. I didn’t enjoy how it was really used, but it was interesting. Didn’t enjoy the episode though.

I liked how they used matcha powder as smoke bombs. Using the obi wrap as handcuffs was interesting. Using the roses as darts was amazing.

I think this could be some items and a style good for the ram rival. 

I had an old idol au of some characters awhile back. I have been really getting back into the genre so I think it would be cool to talk about it.

I would like it to be pretty competitive and there are different genres to it. I really like when they’re on skates, hoverboards, or fighting. It adds something dangerous to the act, but I don’t want it too risky in this series.

Indie idols would be more exclusive to online and local places like cafes. They definitely would like being a virtual idol and doing vr concerts. The recruited idols would definitely have the bigger concerts and upgrades such as ice rinks, hoverboards, and cool theatrical acts. 

This mostly showed off the girls than the world they live in. I would think both virtual and real idols would both be equally popular. There would be an idol ranking to determine the best of the best. If indie idols are on the top rankings, they can be recruited by a company and get a higher pay. Idol competitions are normal. 

The plot of the series is an average girl who decides to become an idol after seeing a video of one. She is the bottom of the rankings and decides to compete in all sorts of idol activities. She gets into different things like a cooking show, parkour tournament, dance off, and ice skating. 

The main plot of the original series was that a deaf girl named Madison wanted to become an idol and join the ranks. She was able to audition and work her way into a famous group called the Dream Catchers.

The prequel of the series was the Dream Catchers breaking into a record company and being recruited as a girl group. They’re mostly a dance group who did not have a knack for singing. They discover they like singing a lot and dancing. They become an idol group afterwards.

I just really liked the members of the group and the outfits. The members were Madison, Ana, Csilla, Cassidy, Allie, and Crystal.

Madison likes dark royal idol outfits and looking very pristine. Her day clothes are usually business casual.

Ana is a free spirit who likes super whimsical idol outfits with bouquets of flowers. Her day outfits are very simple and flowy.

Csilla likes bows and very cutesy outfits, almost Lolita idol outfits. Her day outfits are usually just mostly street clothes since she likes dancing in parks.

Cassidy likes the punk style and a lot of black with red. Her day clothes are pretty similar to her idol outfits.

Allie likes animal and clown themed idol outfits. Her day clothes are usually whatever is on trend.

Crystal likes split color idol outfits and having an angelic-devilish themes. Her day outfits is usually just her uniform or exercise outfit.

I’ll be revealing the names of the characters in the Ranma 1/2 spinoff. Bear with me. I cannot come up with clever naming.

The protagonist renames themselves Joni Starling when they immigrated to America. Their last name is taken from their cousin. Their old name was Chinese and abandoned because they aren’t apart of a tribe anymore. She is cursed with Spring of Drowned Man. When they’re introduced to the class as male, they go by Jon. When they’re disguised as their female form, they name themselves Joanne. Her best friends just tend to refer to her as Jo just in case.

Their love life is complicated and traumatic. Their first kiss was stolen by a guy they don’t like and their second kiss was stolen by a girl they hate. They don’t know if they like girls or boys as their body keeps changing between the two. What they do know is they may have small feelings for her best friend.

Her cousins are named Zane and Anya Starling. She’s very protective of the two. Zane knows a few basic marital art moves and consistently keeps up with his archery regime.

Her best friends are Nathan and Sammy Phantom. They’re the coolest twins in her grade and go along with whatever Jo gets up to. They’re total opposites as Nathan doesn’t speak too much and Sammy is a chatterbox. Jo has a small crush on Nathan and is in constant peril about him finding her secret.

Their last friend is Luke, a member of the newspaper club. He smells something off about Jo and is constantly on guard around her. He gets a weird feeling about Joanne. 

Their classmate is named Spencer Baxtor, a football jock who hates losing. He cannot stand Jon and will always challenge her to whatever they do. He feels irritated but intrigued by Joanne.

Jo’s main rival and childhood friend is named Meg Moonflower. Having also changed her name and run away from the tribe, she is cursed with the Spring of Drowned Duck.

Meg’s best friend is Madison, a member of the gymnastic club. After witnessing the fight between Jo and her rival, she starts learning martial arts too. She really likes Joanne more than a friend.

Meg’s rival is named Emily, the leader of the rivaling gymnastic team. After being defeated by a girl like Joanne, she gets a crush on her. She is used to getting what she wants and is pretty powerful when she’s serious. 

Meg’s crush and Jo’s biggest admirer is Brett Thunders. He is a part of the basketball team and is in love with Joanne. He despises men and doesn’t like that Jon is getting in the way.  

Jo’s other rival is nicknamed Nick and he is cursed with Spring of Drowned Tiger, making him look a bit like a sabretooth. He follows Jo from China and has sworn to defeat Jon. He doesn’t know Joni is female and just wants the cure. He doesn’t really care if his opponent is female, but doesn’t see them as challenges. He really likes Madison. 

Another rival is named Miranda and she is cursed with Spring of Drowned Snake. She was vacationing in China when she got pushed into the spring. She saw Joanne’s face while drowning and wants revenge. She falls for many guys such as Luke, Jon, and Zane, trying to chase after them. 

The monkey rival is nicknamed Ana and she is cursed with Spring of Drowned Monkey. Having passed by and been defeated by Joanne in China, now she wants to have endless fun with her new toy in America. Luke piques her a bit but she’s too blinded by her addiction to having fun.

The ram rival/friend is renamed Adam and he has been cursed with Spring of Drowned Ram. His deadbeat father abandoned him in China and he came to America to work hard to pay off all the debt from the Chinese mafia. He works for Emily’s family and doesn’t like when Jon accidentally sabotages his job offers.
