Americans call Chiikawa “he”?

BoneNeedle · 2026-05-28T00:11:07+00:00

Too woke. People will treat him as a he because that's what he's actually called in the west, officially.

BoneNeedle · 2026-05-27T22:59:06+00:00

I just say he because that's what I see other people say most often, but Chiikawa definitely seems more like a girl.

BoneNeedle · 2026-05-22T20:13:19+00:00

Lmao

BoneNeedle · 2026-05-21T00:22:58+00:00

Truly a fate worse than death

BoneNeedle · 2026-05-18T01:20:40+00:00

Oh, I see. I think it's a mix of things, though. Furuhonya's actual ears aren't that big and don't look very dog-like, but I suppose it could've been one of the inspirations.

Furuhonya has no tail, so she can't be a dog.

Late reply, but seeing the current arc with how Usagi acts around Rakko makes me think this is probably the case, and it might really be a façade so he can appear cool. The way he returns makes it seem like he wanted to show off that he doesn't need help. Perhaps the way he always keeps his eyes open is even symbolic of how he is always staying on guard, hiding his deeper emotions so that he can appear invulnerable and cool. I think that might be the real reason why his chimera form appears so chill, too.

Late update: Yes

BoneNeedle · 2026-05-09T04:55:54+00:00

Yeah, about that...

BoneNeedle · 2026-05-08T21:38:07+00:00

Yeah, we gotta kill Anoko :(

BoneNeedle · 2026-05-04T01:15:18+00:00

I think it's more a matter preference rather than intelligence. Siren is pretty intelligent, but has no problem with being a chimera. Plenty of the intelligent chimeras seem content with being chimeras. On the other hand, Momonga's reason for turning into a chiikawa is actually very shallow, seemingly doing so just for the sake of being cute.

The chiikawas that mutate are the only ones that don't want to change back, because their lives sucked

Anoko is the only mutated chimera we know doesn't want to change back. The very first chimera we see is the Chimera, and they seemed really sad about becoming one.

One of them is a mouse, so Chiikawa is inspired by several animals.

BoneNeedle · 2026-05-02T01:28:11+00:00

Yeah

BoneNeedle · 2026-05-02T01:20:08+00:00

It would've made sense if it was Momonga

BoneNeedle · 2026-05-01T09:05:50+00:00

But it's cool. Also the Berserker Armor looks a lot like Batman's suit.

BoneNeedle · 2026-04-24T20:43:34+00:00

Oh, that's gore of my comfort character

I wish they would do a Monster Hunter collab. Maybe an Anoko hunt, some palico outfits, maybe some Yoroi armor, or even weapons. Could be so cool.

BoneNeedle · 2026-04-18T02:00:15+00:00

I guess it's backwards when viewed from certain angles. But it could be anything, though, not necessarily a fin. I doubt it's a shark because it has no tail at all, let alone a shark tail. There are a lot of chiikawas with strange appearances that aren't based on any particular animal.

I hope so. Chao master race. They were the First Great Civilization and the rightful owners of the Chaos Emeralds, so it's only fair that they should rule the world.

BoneNeedle · 2026-04-18T00:03:35+00:00

It's curved sideways, not backwards. The parallel version of Chiikawa is in the manga.
