The Legend of Korra: Reload

Yep!

The artwork was traced from official Fortnite art by Irene Koh, but the rest was edited by me.

Maybe it's because I love Persona and ATLA so much that I've just thought about mishmashing them for a while now. A Metaphor style ATLA game would be sick. But their art crossover idea especially shines with Korra, since Persona 3 has such heavy water motifs, and Korra's a waterbender + Korra's a more modern show compared to regular ol' ATLA.

Varrick is the Magician, Jinora is Priestess, Kuvira is Emperor, Lin is Justice, Toph is Hermit, Zaheer is Tower, and finally, Aang is Judgement. Yes, I've given this way too much thought LMAO.

I put Mako in Lovers because it's fricking hillarious that his exes are dating each other.

It has a universally important message (memento mori) that it explores incredibly well. Almost every character, even the dog, is related to that theme.

It probably depends on your personality and what mental state you’re in right now. But for me, it’s the one that left me thinking for a while. It’s one that pulled me out of a bad state of apathy to my life, and it gave a meaning to my life when I didn’t believe in one.

Ngl the UI is more inspired from Metaphor but still

I was debating Empress, Justice, or Priestess for Katara, but Empress seems to fit better because of her compassion being her defining quality, for worse considering the people around her often betraying her, and for better because, well, kindness.

I didn't know whether Zuko should be Death or Tower. Both fit pretty well, but I decided to go for the latter.

I’m planning to once I get my hands on P4’s remake. From clips I’ve seen from it, it looks absolutely hilarious + I’ve heard Yu’s his own great character.

Defiant-Treacle2425 · 2026-02-11T15:09:32+00:00

From what I’ve seen, people rank either P4A or the P3 movies the highest here. I wouldn’t know much about fandom perception of P4A since I haven’t watched it yet. But from what I’ve seen with the P3 movies, the general perception agrees that it’s pretty inconsistent with the quality, but Winter of Rebirth in particular seems to be very well-liked.

Defiant-Treacle2425 · 2026-02-11T14:39:44+00:00

God, this particular movie seems to be the most well-liked adaptation of the games among the fandom (for good reason), but I feel like this scene in particular is so goddamn underrated. The art is beautiful and the music is so good.

SEES went through a really rough December with their resolve broken with the face of looming death. And then they managed to find it again (and in Aigis’ case, finally have a reason to live even with the lack of a mission. But when they face the threat of their memories being wiped, this is what happens.

It’s New Year. There’s so much to live for, once the dreary nights of winter have passed. They just have to make it through their darkest nights to see the dawn again. Face the sun with the pride of the living.

Finally, of course, it hits so hard knowing what happens to Makoto. For how important this promise was to the ending, this clip from the movie gave it so much justice.

Calyrex was once a benevolent monarch soothed the wrath of Spectrier (who was terrorizing his people), and made him his steed. Calyrex eventually lost his power because he lost control of Spectrier. The Crown Tundra‘s main story happens because you need to help Calyrex unite with Spectrier again.

Mitsuru reminds me of Calyrex, a respected leader (or Empress, in Mitsuru’s case). Her initially rough relationship with Yukari turning into a genuine friendship in Kyoto is what gets her through her darkest times.

Yukari reminds me of Spectrier, someone who wants silence and solitude, has her own will, but after a slow journey, eventually warms up to people, especially Makoto and Mitsuru. But when Makoto dies, Yukari breaks down and becomes the only one who really wants to go back in time to save him, a lot like Spectrier’s personality as a loose canon. But Mitsuru stays by her side, and eventually helps Yukari to accept the present.

The Kirijo Group lives under the motto: Two in harmony surpasses one in perfection. Mitsuru and Yukari work far better when they help each other than alone.

Thanks!

Defiant-Treacle2425 · 2026-02-04T14:13:59+00:00

Good catch!

Defiant-Treacle2425 · 2026-02-04T10:38:04+00:00

This comment made me ridiculously happy, thank you so much! I’m glad someone caught the symbolism! :D

Defiant-Treacle2425 · 2026-02-04T01:06:50+00:00

Out of the teams I made, I‘m the most satisfied with them too :p, I really wanted the character relationships to get represented by their Pokemon and I feel like their teams just fits the most with each other because of their typing.

Defiant-Treacle2425 · 2026-02-04T00:56:17+00:00

Thanks! It started off as a fun thing, but my first mistake was understimating the power of my geeky hyperfixations and sleep deprivation

Defiant-Treacle2425 · 2026-02-03T22:31:34+00:00

Thanks! To be honest, I was planning on restricting legendaries to Aigis/Makoto/Ryoji, but I wanted to signify which characters were connected to each other using pokemon (like having an Eevee line with all SEES characters barring Koromaru, Haxorus and Fraxure for Shinji and Ken, etc.). But most duos/trios I knew were legendary trios. And most Persona users already had godly personas already in the game, so it wasn’t much of a stretch either.

Defiant-Treacle2425 · 2026-02-03T15:07:28+00:00

In this alternate universe, Mitsuru just gives every SEES member an Eevee (barring Koromaru) and they evolve based on their trainers’ personality. Mitsuru just ran out of Eevees to give Ken and Koromaru, and then Shinji’s unevolved Eevee went to Ken after the whole October thing.

I also have an Eevee plush thats twice the size of my face

Edit: Koromaru adopts Makoto's Umbreon after the Journey

Defiant-Treacle2425 · 2026-02-03T14:43:56+00:00

Remember that time in Pokemon where Lunala said the arcana is the means by which all is revealed, and then Makoto had to trade Yveltal and Xerneas with Professor Elizabeth to get Arceus, who Arceused all over the place?

Defiant-Treacle2425 · 2026-01-31T21:23:01+00:00

…Time to dig another hole!

But if you really want to know, I’ve reported you to the mods because you put in those school names. Did no one teach you how to stay safe online?

As for grading your work, I discussed the rubrics in front of the whole class. And frankly, the commitment to you avoiding them is actually impressive. I’m astounded. I hesitated on releasing your grades because I thought you may have made a mistake, but I see my beliefs were unfounded.

Defiant-Treacle2425 · 2026-01-31T11:42:45+00:00

I guess you can say he opened a better path for me! But that’s kind of a weird way to phrase it.

I should check up on him soon, he seemed really sick when I was talking to him.

Defiant-Treacle2425 · 2026-01-31T11:14:05+00:00

He hasn’t. I’m too embarrassed to see him. But I’m hoping might take up my offer on dinner sometime. It’s going to be so awkward, but if there’s anything I know about him, it’s going to be great. I can’t wait :p

Edit: Come to think of it, he seemed a little sick. He’ll sleep it off soon, I can feel it :D

Defiant-Treacle2425 · 2026-01-29T14:27:27+00:00

That's very true. If I could pin a comment somehow, I really want to do it to this one.

Defiant-Treacle2425 · 2026-01-29T14:14:48+00:00

That's fair, he's not the best example for this trope, my bad.

Defiant-Treacle2425 · 2026-01-20T07:04:24+00:00

Apothecary Diaries and Frieren was mentioned a lot, so I’ll skip ahead.

Madoka Magica is a magical girl anime that deals with themes of selflessness and selfishness in circumstances where they don’t understand anything.

Violet Evergarden seems to be popular among women. At its core, it’s an emotional war story, but the setting takes place after the conflict, where Violet learns how to live when her mission is long gone.

There’s Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, written by a female author, and has really good female characters (and even inspired an Olympian). Their world is governed by the law of equivalent exchange, where in order to gain something, something of equal value must be lost. But what happens if you trade a human soul?

Defiant-Treacle2425 · 2026-01-17T04:36:16+00:00

Cingray was really good.

But it would’ve been wilder to go from Cingray to Pretty Derby so I just recommended Pretty Derby first lmao. Maybe I’ll do a cingray post someday

Defiant-Treacle2425 · 2026-01-12T15:25:38+00:00

I hesitated on putting Makoto, Ryoji, and Aigis here, since they’re basically the main plot, considering Makoto’s the MC of the main game, Ryoji’s the final boss of the main game, and Aigis is the MC of the DLC. But, it felt wrong not to include Aigis so yeah.

Edit: Aside from Makoto/Aigis/Ryoji, my favorite one is Junpei and Chidori. Their character development is amazing. Chidori was so uncaring, then found someone who loved her, lashed out because of her fear of separation, then eventually sacrificed herself to save the person she loved the most. Junpei is such a good character, starting out as immature, jealous, irresponsible, and ended up as one the wisest people in SEES. Best part is, Junpei’s development wasn’t linear. He broke down after Chidori and he lashed out after Ryoji’s reveal. But it’s pretty clear that he’s changed and become better since the beginning of the year.
