Perhaps moreso than any other “why not both” answer, I really can’t picture Gojo having a real preference here. I wanted his partners to be a guy and gal associated with each other, and while I considered a few different pairs, I think MHA and JJK crossovers are kinda fun. I realized I hadn’t really used Ashido in a bit and her working with Kirishima for a role like this sounded fun.
For our third ClashMe profile we have Himiko Toga. This is our first villain profile, and like with the other two my Subscribers voted for her from a list of ten random Studio villains. I had to tone down her proclivities a bit, ’cause even for roleplay I don’t think Studio Toga would take things as far as her canon version might. Hopefully I found a good balance here, and next time we’ll be back with another hero profile.
I don’t know if Bakugou’s beating the show-off allegations here. Neito relationship with the 1-A students feels like something that wouldn’t go away in the Studio to me. After all, here as well they’re still taking the spotlight far more than anyone from Neito’s class. I see his obsession with them as being a but more than just hatred, though, and we’re seeing a bit of that here.
My Subscribers all got to vote on what our next straight ongoing comic should look like, and they wanted to see Deku come back for some fun with Ochaco and Tsuyu. These are pretty popular characters, so it wasn’t a shock to see them win. The scripts submitted this month all took their own approaches to the premise, Ochaco surprising Deku with Tsuyu, but I took my own little spin with it while using what I thought fit from the submissions.
Sero’s first appearance since his Wall debut, I believe. What better coming out party than with his best mates?
For our ninth Subscriber Scenario, we return to the lab for some more fucking machine fun. Edward has a couple connections to the lab, even though he no longer has his automail limbs in the Studio. First he has some sort of connection to Mei, through her choosing him after her Superstar win. Beyond that, though, Winry coming into the Studio obviously gives him more reason to visit the lab, to see her. So I used those two connections here, plus I threw in Reagan just because I like her and wanted to spotlight her a little.
Of the characters I had in mind for Jiro to scout, I thought Bocchi would be good on guitar. She wasn’t in the Studio yet when I made the plan, but she’s here now and been waiting to get out of the 1 Club. I fully plan for all of Kessoku Band to end up in the Studio eventually, but until then she can play with Jiro and Kim, and pull double duty once they all get in.
I know it’s been a while, but here’s another little entry in this series. I believe Sero here is the last of the 1-A students I planned to do for this series, so any future entries will be characters from 1-B. At this point I really don’t have any idea if or when I’ll do more, though.
It’s honestly an insane bit of coincidence that our April One-Shot winner ended up being this April O’Neil-focused script, but I’m here for it. April has a unique presence in the Studio, showing up in a lot of roles (such as the Spotlight Interviews or hosting Chi-Chi’s Fan Appreciation Tour) while only getting the spotlight shone on her occasionally. For the script here it was said April should be showing up in locations from the game, but I ended up not going that route as I had some other ideas I thought would be fun. So I put her with A-ko and Goku in the room where she MC’d A-ko’s ToL match with Krillin, had her crash an Ask that didn’t happen last month, and also made use of the couch seen in the aforementioned Spotlight Interviews. I did use a game location for the last panel, though. Also they asked for some dialogue, so I provided a bit.
A couple days ago I shared Ty Lee’s pic for winning second place in our 1 Club-themed poll tournament on Discord. The first-place prize is a one-on-one pic between the winner and a Studio member of their choice, but it can’t be someone they’ve worked with before. Mirio has developed a bit of a reputation with some of the Studio furries, and Amy decided to cash in her victory to get herself some. Amy’s win came as a bit of a surprise to me, since furries have not historically done well in these polls, but people seemed to really want to see more of her. Luckily, she has another pic coming up soon, so if you’re a fan of hers look forward to that.
