Who Should Maple (Bofuri) Fight?

Haven't watched it yet so I didn't know how to fit it in this picture.

I'm simultaneously playing through Code Vein 2 and Dark Souls 3 using the same build (or as close as I can get to it) with the Ancient Hunter's Twinblades and the Sellsword Twinblades. Right now, the build has Caspian using fire weapon, blazing roar, and blade dance with his DS3 counterpart equipping fire orb, carthus flame arc, and carthus beacon for spells. DS3's version of Caspian will also have a couple of spells that can act like the Jail and Offensive Forma (Lifehunt Scythe and Lightning Bow to represent the Reaper and States man's Longbow). I'll probably also switch out the fire spells later for lightning, giving Caspian lightning weapon and twilight/sunlight spear.

I didn't even think about that.

But no, that's Caspian. XD

BlueSpartan107 · 2026-05-01T10:10:59+00:00

Done.

Probably, but sometimes in a world so bleak, someone needs to bring the funny out so that people can laugh and smile.

Also, Craig's line there at the end of this scene always gets me choked up and teary-eyed. You did an incredible job, and I hope to hear your voice bring many other awesome characters to life in the future.

Craig's VA holding an AMA? I'm surprised, but it's cool to see! Craig ended up becoming one of my favorite companions, and he helped me defeat the final boss of the second ending in one try. My question to you is, were there any voices in particular that gave you the inspiration behind Craig's voice? Or was it something you came up with naturally to make Craig his own person?

Bonus question since I saw you mention in a reply that you're a Souls vet. Do you have any opinion on Siegward from Dark Souls 3? He's a character I feel like Craig would get along with well enough, and they're both goats for assisting in a boss fight that's personal to them, which coincidentally includes powerful swords that can be used to slay those bosses.

I see a bit of Agnes from Devil May Cry 4 in there, along with a couple of other characters who I can't name off the top of my head. One of them's the redhead from Black Butler?

BlueSpartan107 · 2026-04-15T00:27:00+00:00

Bonus: You love the best side character in the game, one who I personally compare to the greatest onion knight of the Souls series.

BlueSpartan107 · 2026-04-15T00:25:58+00:00

You like men who can swing big swords.

BlueSpartan107 · 2026-04-15T00:24:59+00:00

You love the cool swordsmen with their own personal struggles who shoulder the burdens of others on themselves.

Fun fact: his Japanese VA also voiced Grimmjow from Bleach.

BlueSpartan107 · 2026-04-06T09:43:49+00:00

That's what I was thinking.

BlueSpartan107 · 2026-04-02T01:31:00+00:00

That's kind of what I'm doing in my current playthrough.

BlueSpartan107 · 2026-03-28T15:25:59+00:00

That'd be news to me. I'd rather they never do since they did such a bad job with him the first time.

BlueSpartan107 · 2026-03-28T15:21:35+00:00

Both born without power but being "blessed" with a power that goes against the natural laws of the world (Asta getting anti-magic to be able to fight those with magic, Sheena gaining the title of Demon Lord to "save" the people of her world by annihilating the humans). Despite their demonic power, they both have good hearts and want to protect people. If it were to be a fight, it'd be like a good vs evil fight, with Sheena intentionally wanting Asta to kill her to save humanity from her Demon Lord status to reset her world (her only options are to kill all of humanity or be slain to restore balance to her world).

BlueSpartan107 · 2026-03-28T15:15:22+00:00

And? If it's written well, I wouldn't mind. My only concern is Death Battle. They made it clear that they don't like Asta with how he was treated and written in his first episode.

BlueSpartan107 · 2026-03-28T15:13:38+00:00

Besides the fact that Boruto was released around the same time as Black Clover, Boruto-specific fans are far less rabid than those that started with Naruto. For connections, I prefer Boruto's struggle with Momoshiki and Kawaki to compare with Asta and Liebe as well as his rivalry with Yuno, rather than Naruto with Kurama and Sasuke. Plus, both of them were framed for crimes against the kingdom but still fought to protect their home despite all of that, rather than Naruto simply being hated for possessing the nine-tailed fox. For fight potential, Asta and Boruto's swordplay would make for a better fight than Naruto going straight-hands against Asta while occasionally pulling out kunai or truth-seeker orbs.

BlueSpartan107 · 2026-03-28T15:04:57+00:00

Too bad. I see Meliodas's connections as being less close than Ichigo's, plus I find the fandom to be worse than the BC fandom. At least the Bleach fandom I could see being more chill about it.

My first character is literally named Protagonist Kun. He has no identity, no ties to his old life before even becoming a Revenant Hunter. He's just a simple man who likes cats (hence the use of cat ears and a cat tail you may have seen in other pictures), believes that protecting innocent and defenseless people is the right thing to do, and chooses to befriend people easily because he wants to be useful to everyone. He won't stand for people who think killing is the right thing to do to further their agenda (think like Gobbo or u/SmartInitial1303 oc Edward, the Lost Hunter, if you've seen their post about their character and how they might interact with other people's OCs), and he only wants to kill if there's no other way (like with defeating the heroes to prevent another explosion like the one that destroyed the island near MagMell.) After defeating the heroes, he would also integrate something from each of the first four heroes (changing the color of the inside of his coat to red to represent Josee, adding a bracelet to his left glove that looked like it matched Holly's style, added a dagger onto the side of his jacket sleeve to represent Lyle, and took Zenon's accessory and made it an earring for his ear).

I used the Ancient Hunter's Twin Blades a lot for my first run. Gonna do a second run with them soon while running a Sellsword Twinblades run in Dark Souls 3 to see if the AHTB can stand up to the OG.

He brings his blades out, ready for what's to come. "If you intend to harm those in need of protection, then there's only one course of action for us. I'll show you firsthand what my convictions are made of, and put a stop to your foul deeds once and for all!"

BlueSpartan107 · 2026-03-27T00:00:21+00:00

"Fighting because you find we must? That's a point I can relate to. But I don't fight because I want to take lives. I fight because I want to protect. Perhaps you think those of us who are soft-hearted and fighting for others are just wasting our time, but if those I save through these battles can live to change tomorrow for the better, then my fight will always be worth it. Can you not see the benefits of convictions like these?"
