It’s always tough writing for characters from shows I know nothing about. When I was looking up Sister Ivry clips on YouTube I saw comments where people were talking about being her pet… I don’t know if that’s a thing from the show or just normal internet thirsting, but I also saw a lot of shots of Rebecca with kitty ears and I drew my inspiration from there.
I don’t know if I’ve addressed it before, but there’s been a bit of a pattern of me answering this type of Ask (pairing up “science” gals with other “science” gals) with this position. I thought it’d be fun to do the same with Hange, and Thomas Edison came to mind as someone who might be closer to Hange’s level than a lot of the sci-fi mad scientist characters in the Studio.
So, there are a few ladies I theoretically could have paired Nanami up with here. However, given what a serious guy he is, I don’t really picture him just jumping into a relationship with someone in the Studio. Honestly I don’t even know if I can picture him having a fling or anything, either… When I imagine Nanami developing a relationship with someone, it’s over a long period of time, seeing them repeatedly, like with the bakery girl from his flashback in the series. So, no longer than he’s been here, nothing like that could’ve blossomed. I thought it’d be cute to hint at some possible future relationships for him, though, and I also figured fans of his wouldn’t mind getting a better look at his body while he goes over his daily routine.
Baba’s a really fun character to work with. In Dragon Ball, after her first arc, she basically serves as a convenient plot device whenever the protagonists need her. I think Goku would be happy to pay her back for all that help, so now she can get some of what she watched Frieza get in that other pic I did a while back.
