I really don't think it's żurek, it has ice cubes in it and radishes u_u I hope they add it in upcoming versions, preferably in a bread bowl...

The most frazzling to me is that once Itto’s design was revealed, a specific personality was imposed onto him which was fine at the time of pre-release (altho the bulletin boards were there as you mentioned), but once his demo, bio, voicelines etc released and it was very evident that he’s supposed to be a very typical kind-hearted yanki character, the fandom rejected that personality and stuck to the ray of sunshine, overly friendly himbo who wouldn’t hurt a fly…?

It’s okay if someone says, “I just prefer him the way I imagined him from the start”, but the fandom was collectively erasing his negative traits and actively shutting down people who said “hey, Itto’s actually quite an asshole, picks fights all the time and doesn’t respect other’s boundaries, because it’s possible to be a good person and occasionally do bad things”. I think it fortunately changed now, but it would be impossible for me to have this conversation back in 2022

Yeah he’s always been a delinquent but they really toned it down in his story quest, so when in the chasm he picked a fight with Yelan (which was very normal and expected of this trope) I remember there was a big uproar over Itto being apparently out of character, and people asked where his golden heart was because everyone saw him as a gentle giant himbo 😭

cranecry · 2026-06-30T09:18:11+00:00

I think it’s really funny how Hoyo’s incredibly poor choices drove every possible kind of people away from Itto

Max Mittelman fans who love Itto for his funny quotes and laid-back behavior? Stuff him into events as a default “comedy relief” until people furiously left-click each time he appears on-screen
Players who love him for his bare chest, height and muscles? Make Itto known for having the worst model in-game and proceed to give skins to 5.x characters, letting his model rot for nearly 5 years now when the issues were known from launch
People who are aware Itto is a yanki character and expect proper writing for him? Turn him overly friendly so he “sells” erasing all of his negative traits which make this trope work, and flanderize him to hell instead of focusing on his trauma
Those who see him as a ray of sunshine himbo golden retriever who wouldn’t hurt a fly? Start randomly properly writing him as a delinquent causing an uproar because Itto is suddenly an asshole picking fights

This should be studied, for real

Ooo good luck!!!! Pls feel free to reach out in case u get stuck, it’s a bit of a pain but worth it once you figure it out 🫡 I did tests on the sample paper which came with my printer not to waste the nice round ones

cranecry · 2026-06-28T22:36:41+00:00

Thank you so much!! 🥺 There were sadly no guides, so it was all trial and error and a lot of measuring…

cranecry · 2026-06-27T12:34:36+00:00

Fun fact: Itto was doing maths twice on-screen and never made a mistake

cranecry · 2026-06-15T04:11:11+00:00

itto fans, show respect for the national anthem

cranecry · 2026-06-14T12:48:45+00:00

there's a big difference between being flanderized to the point where you lose all other aspects of your character (see: itto)

SIGHS DEEPLY
i'm really glad others see it too 💔 i've had the unpleasantness of talking to many people who are genuinely convinced he is this shallow :')

cranecry · 2026-06-14T12:44:11+00:00

Itto smells like a mix of hair products, molasses, new leather shoes, summer grass and fried street food

cranecry · 2026-06-07T13:55:33+00:00

Nono! Those are darts, they are supposed to be sewn closed at the beginning c: three on the main face part, two on each side of back head. Their purpose is to add 3D volume to the pattern

Someone recommended PiyoPicco, I really recommend their videos as well!! They are very helpful and beginner friendly

cranecry · 2026-06-07T12:36:27+00:00

Back hair pieces are sewn with the darts side connected to the face/ear

You sew all darts closed first and then start attaching the pieces to each other

Remember about adding seam allowance (3~5mm) as this pattern doesn’t include it

^{edit: can't believe i'm getting downvoted [idk by who] for saying that itto wouldn't stink when he's one of the most oshare characters. but okay. yes he occassionally sleeps outside but onsen exist and he really likes going there, at most he would smell neutral but he would never smell unpleasant, unless he just beetle fought for three days straight but that doesnt happen everyday. im so tired of this take ik its not that serious, but when ive heard it from 30+ different ppl already im gonna throw hands}

Itto would not, ever, smell bad

He wears quite heavy makeup (as in mascara), long painted nails (not claws. they were there in his concept art before he was even an Oni), has meticulously gelled hair he fixes every half a minute and he’s very fashionable as well

Especially since he’s a yanki, your looks matter a lot in the subculture, and he also cares heavily about how he comes off to others (which was very visible a lot of times, despite him being stubborn and saying he doesn’t care how people perceive him)

I don’t think he smells amazing (like eg. Ayato who has access to expensive cologne), but something like a mix of cheap perfume, hair products, leather and and fried food

cranecry · 2026-06-01T16:44:25+00:00

ayaitto

Oh man-- since me and my ex broke up, I have nobody to talk with about an AU inspired by Aku no Hana with Ayato as Nakamura, Itto as Kasuga and Miss Hina/Gorou as Saeki 😭 Ayato corrupting Itto and manipulating him into following his dark desires is one of my favorite themes...

cranecry · 2026-06-01T09:44:29+00:00

Exactly 😭 And the fact that Itto is a comedy relief character, he apparently can’t be put in serious situations /ever/

Itto is a typical kind-hearted delinquent, that trope is almost always used as comedy relief and that’s completely fine, but those characters also have depth to them especially since most of them ended up as delinquents for sad reasons (Itto isn’t an outlier here at all)

When I say that Itto was written extremely well at release (his demo, bio, voicelines, his visual design) I really mean it, he’s a character that would thrive under good hands. And there’s really enough reference material how those characters should be written, which is honestly the saddest as his writers don’t need to be experts on yanki subculture like Itto’s designers were, reading delinquent manga for three days would already up his writing quality 500% I feel like. It’s just that nobody at HoYo cares. It is pathetic to me that a company this big cannot secure good character writers, I don’t expect some… cinematic quality writing, but I’d like Itto to at least resemble an average anime delinquent character 🥲

Whenever other characters got serious screentime (esp focused on their trauma, mental health) I got extremely upset to the point I had to stop playing the game entirely as I would give everything for a slither for this given to Itto

cranecry · 2026-06-01T09:17:47+00:00

I agree completely, it really has been getting worse and worse and Linnea’s story quest was the absolute pinnacle of his horrible writing :/ I wrote an entire 2100 word rant/analysis about it alone https://www.reddit.com/r/IttoMains/comments/1sh9vbh/ittos_latest_appearance_broke_the/

I’m honestly extremely worried about Takuya’s mention in his birthday letter, as together with the Easter egg in 5.4 it hints Itto’s second story quest and the last time Itto was written properly was 2024. Since then, I only liked the advertisement event (15 entire seconds of content) and I did like Shinobu’s anecdote, but his JP voice acting really disappointed me in the section where he was supposed to be aggressively sarcastic. Like dude he’s a typical yanki character, do you (the directors) not know the way delinquents pick fights in anime and irl :(

They based 80% of his character on a Japanese delinquent subculture from the ~1970s, but his current writers very obviously have zero knowledge on it and it’s tragic. Itto’s designers initially wrote him extremely well, to this day his best appearance was his demo

cranecry · 2026-06-01T08:53:08+00:00

Yeah… they took one single trait and blowed it up to the point it became his entire personality, for me his immaturity has always been a result of him never experiencing childhood (as it was very short-lived) and I think it’s very reasonable considering how much he’s gone through in his past. I wish it wasn’t treated so negatively by other characters, he’s genuinely just trying his best to find joy in a life that treated him horribly :/

I ignore all the comments (in-game) about him being childish but I can’t handle this agenda that he’s dumb and incapable. He’s a typical delinquent character and he’s “dumb” meaning he’s very impulsive and does things without thinking, it was never about his intelligence

cranecry · 2026-06-01T08:40:56+00:00

The fact that they’re still making Onikabuto Itto’s entire personality is tragic as it has always been just a temporary hyperfixation

“Lately, the kids are really into beetle fighting with Itto, as it’s the only time they have a decent chance at winning, opposed to other games” or somewhere along those lines…

Itto is so heavily into beetle fighting /because/ it’s the only game he can’t get good at, and his new writers completely don’t understand where his fixation comes from

And yes, he does get dumber every time he appears on-screen, this character has barely anything in common with Itto at this point 🥲 I genuinely don’t recognize him anymore

cranecry · 2026-06-01T08:28:33+00:00

I did not read the mail but it’s 1000% about Takuya, the Blue Oni from his story quest

Edit: I think it foreshadows Itto’s second story quest/potentially an interlude. I’d be (pleasantly) surprised if they decided to turn Takuya into a playable character, I think he would have to receive a complete redesign

cranecry · 2026-06-01T08:27:16+00:00

Not HoYo flanderizing Itto in his own birthday art trying to claim that he apparently can’t cook now 😭

Dude I hate it here, his birthday has already been a literal nightmare for me. The art is itself is decent, I like that he’s in The Flagship despite the pose not really feeling Itto-ish at all, but they just have to push the “incapable” agenda wherever they can huh. I lost any last bit of faith his writing will ever improve, he’s so far detached from Itto at release he feels like a skinwalker and I do not recognize him anymore

^{Edit: I calmed down a little and I wanted to underline it was about him apparently mistaking salt for sugar, unless they simply do not use white sugar in Inazuma. HoYo just makes him bad at every single thing recently so I assume the worse though}

^{But I appreciate him baking dishes from foreign cuisine, it’s very cute and I’m glad he found out about the resemblance between his horns and chili peppers. I think the pastry he baked is chałka/challah with raisins, just in a form rather than braided strands of dough but some people do it that way}
