You can't tell me that Cale doesn't fit the stereotypes associated with foxes, cunning and beautiful, a trickster and a con man, someone wise and strategic who can turn anything around. ( ‾́ ◡ ‾́ )
Cale has all of those characteristics and although I have seen some fics where he is a member of the fox tribe I have never found one where he is a nine-tailed fox in this case, a kumiho.
Here comes my ideas:
Kim Rok Soo's parents were kumihos who decided to live hidden from society and therefore hid their true race from Rok Soo with plans to tell him later.
But the car accident they had when Rok Soo was eight ended up killing them before they could tell him about his inheritance.
Rok Soo grew up knowing nothing about his blood and heritage until the cataclysm where in a fit of hysterical adrenaline he manages to break the disguise of him later portraying him as an ability.
His life in the shelter differs greatly from canon because of this since he has an ability, but the curse of the white star ruins everything again.
His life continues as in canon until the moment of transmigration where he wakes up with Ron seeing him in a confused way and even without knowing him he interprets it as a cold look acting in the same way as in canon.
By some miracle he manages not to see himself in a mirror until he enters the bathroom where he screams in surprise.
Then Ron appears behind him saying "From your reaction I assume you don't know what this is, do you young master?"
Now he has to deal with his "initial ability" transmigrating with him, hiding his fox traits, and creating a convincing lie.
(Later during the Sloth Test: "You mean to tell me this was never a skill?!")
When I was a newbie I came across a Calebab spoiler and the only reason I didn't stop reading was the lack of context and my curiosity (ノД`)
When I was a newbie I came across a Calebab spoiler and the only reason I didn't stop reading was the lack of context and my curiosity (ノД')
I'm really glad I didn't leave it but it's important for all newbies not to be filled with spoilers o(>m<)o
So I really like this idea (b ᴖ▽ᴖ)b
(gods I reblogged this on the wrong blog, I want to hide in a hole and die („ಡωಡ„) )
I have come to the conclusion that we, the TCF fandom, do not know how to talk about TCF without telling absolutely the entire story and filling people with spoilers.
It's true when they say that clothes show a lot about a person…
Choi Han uses a lot of furs and leather because that's what she learned to wear in the forest of darkness and they are perfect for his active lifestyle.
Rosalyn wears a lot of stereotypical wizard clothing because she identifies more with them than royalty even though she still wears a lot of fancy clothes since that's what she's used to.
Ron wears a butler's suit not only because that's his job but because it's the perfect disguise for an assassin, after all, how many daggers and poison can he hide in a suit with lots of pockets?
In short, your clothes say a lot about you, your social status, your habits, your way of life, your economic level, etc. ╮( ̄ω ̄)╭
random thought #5: clothes
I only noticed this after remembering what he went through as Kim Rok Soo but I think Cale actually likes or prefers to wear dark-colored clothes. That, or there's another reason why he wears them.
It's not as obvious in the manhwa because the artist probably wants him to have bright colored clothes (fair) but it's been mentioned a few times in the beginning of the novel.
Cale, who used to enjoy wearing fancy clothes and showing off until just two years ago, was suddenly only wearing dark clothes, and had a completely different demeanor about him.
Chapter 43: Somehow
I'm not completely sure if he likes the color (shade?) but I remembered seeing Kim Rok Soo wearing them behind Cale Henituse in a cover.
[SPOILER for the first part of TCF]
Dark clothes could mean a person wants to look cool and stylish or it could mean a person is boring. And in some ways, the person wearing black is grieving.
I looked it up because I wasn't too sure (and I don't want to offend anyone) but Koreans apparently wear black clothes at funerals.
And knowing his past, it could be that he never stopped grieving even as Cale Henituse.
Like I've mentioned before, and what most readers know about him after reading the novel, there are a lot of funerals back in Korea and he attended some of them.
People die everyday in his world and some of them don't have anyone to grieve for them. It's why he's the one who showed up in Lee Soo Hyuk and Choi Jung Soo's funeral.
One of the things that changed the most was the funeral tradition. The reason was simple.
Too many people had died.
And even more continued to die every day and will die in the future.
- Chapter 719
Him constantly grieving for those he lost could appear in what he's wearing.
Yes, there are moments when he wears them to look intimidating in front of the nobles or his enemies but there was this one scene after the Plaza Terror Incident when he actually wears dark clothes, albeit more luxurious.
“It is a beautiful day today. Probably because we are here to respect the fallen.”
Cale’s red hair fluttered in the wind and created a stark comparison to his black outfit.
- Chapter 48: Somehow
It's a sad thing to think about if this is actually the reason why he wears them.
Another preference that was briefly mentioned before is him liking simple clothes. It could mean several things for him.
Simple clothes could mean he's lazy (which is debatable but probably true). Simple clothes could mean he's a guy with simple tastes (also debatable). Simple clothes could mean he's poor or doesn't have the more luxurious type of clothes. Or simple clothes could mean he's used to wearing them in a world where the apocalypse is real and he needs to move comfortably to survive.
I'm thinking he's so used to getting too injured, he never allows himself to wear something different. Like if you're gonna get cuts all over your body after using an ability, I doubt you'll bother wearing something nice.
It's intriguing how a simple mention of his clothes can mean several things.
I really didn't consider the possibility of something more just judging by what he wears.
From his words, to his actions, and even to his clothes, you can make different opinions and theories about him and that's why I'm having so much fun reading this novel.
I know he’s not a villain per se, but that was my first impression (´-ω-`)
I thought he was someone cunning, willing to do whatever it took to survive—even surrendering to his captors. Discovering that the ‘Honte’ we were presented with was nothing more than a puppet surprised me greatly ( : ౦ ‸ ౦ : )
It’s because of that initial impression that Honte is in this category instead of the other.
But here we go—the reason I believe he deserves ‘redemption’ lies in his backstory. He shares the same background story as Sir Rex, and we were given hints that there might be a way to make dark magic good.
Furthermore, being used as a marionette by someone you trusted (assuming Bernard was his alchemy professor) must have been heart-wrenching 。゚(。ノωヽ。)゚。
If somehow he could have stayed alive during his time as a puppet, he might have resisted self-destruction in some way and survived.
If he survived, Cale’s group would likely take care of him and help him improve. He could even become a key player in Bernard’s demise. And why do I say this?
Well, to provide context, the main reason I’m writing this is because of a speech that popped into my mind out of nowhere when I couldn’t sleep. Here it goes:
Kindness? Kindness?! You’ve never been kind to me for a single day of your life! Every so-called ‘moment of unity’ we’ve had has been nothing more than you finding a quicker way to turn me into a puppet! You’ve never cared about me! You brought me and hundreds of other children here for your twisted experiments, promising a better life! You and your followers tortured us and reveled in our despair! You turned me into a marionette! For years, you used my body to harm others! I was your weapon! And when I was no longer useful to you, you discarded me! The only reason I’m alive is because the so-called ‘enemy’ took pity on me! They helped me! They gave me everything you promised but never delivered! They cared for me and treated me as one of their own! To me, they are not the enemies! You are the enemy, and I will gladly be the weapon that ends you! Be happy, dear professor. This student knows more about how this world works than you do, and I’ll happily demonstrate it in my graduation project. Your death.
It’s foolish and very emotional, but it seems perfect for the confrontation between Bernard and Honte. o(>ω<)o
We must take into account that since the Queen of Death told us that there was a way for dark magic to be good, the information on how she thought it was possible was probably in her book on dark magic.
Cale would definitely give this book to Honte, and considering that he was already seen as a prodigy even before the possession, it’s likely that he could make the Queen of Death’s theories a reality \(٥⁀▽⁀ )/
Perhaps even thinking of her as a mentor, similar to Mary.
And what would that method be? I believe it involves using the user’s own blood. Whether it’s using your own blood to draw magical circles or making blood sacrifices during spells, utilizing your own vitality instead of sacrificing others could be the way for dark magic (now called dark magic, distinguishing it from traditional dark magic) to be natural.
Essentially, dark mages would be crystal cannons—extremely powerful, but if they’re careless or overwork themselves, they could die. This could be mitigated with blood replenishment potions, although it wouldn’t change the essence of their powers (¯▿¯)
I wish the author had addressed this plot hole, and that’s why I believe Honte deserves redemption.
I came across some photos of Nyakim Gatwech and remembering the images of Tasha in the manhwa that I saw, I was very disappointed, why doesn't she look anything like this angel of darkness? She is the definition of black pearl beauty! She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life! So why doesn't Tasha look anything alike?\\٩(๑`^´๑)۶//
"Because of you! Why? Why do I need to struggle like this! Humm? I want to be a slacker! That! Is! My! Dream! I'm someone whose dream is to live quietly! Also, keep your damn subordinates in line! Huh? He wants to use Raon as a sacrifice?! Where the hell is your lackey getting the confidence to spew such ludicrous statements out of his damn snout?"- Cale beating up White Star with a Rock
I can't help but imagine Rok Soo feeling bad for everything he put Cale through (╥﹏╥)
I bet Ron and Beacrox would be particularly overprotective of their adopted son/little brother (; ̄Д ̄) and the thought of how they would react to Cale using Instant now lives in my head and I can't stop imagining the theories they would make. do 。.:☆:・'(⌒―⌒*)))
Also, I love the idea that Hans and Hillsman took their work seriously before (*^^*)♡
If anyone sees this and decides to make a fic please tag me (´。• ω •。`), I will die happy with that fic (っ˘ω˘ς )
He didn't realize that all of his scars were going to what was going to be his future body until he woke up as Cale Henituse.
I really like the concept of the dying will flames in Katekyou Hitman Reborn! In fact, I love it! ٩(♡ε♡)۶
This concept is quite interesting from my perspective, the being able to manifest the power of your soul through your will to live is very cool for me °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
I am not going to give an explanation of what the flames are since the publication is not about that, instead, I am going to give the link that will explain what they are.
(All credits to villainsandvictimsalliance ⸜(*ˊᗜˋ*)⸝)
And given the basic explanation, I'm going to give my ideas on how they work in this AU:
The Dying Will Flames come from the excess energy that the soul constantly emits. If you have accumulated a large amount of energy in your soul and find yourself in a near-death situation where your highest priority is to survive, your will can break the barrier between the physical and spiritual worlds, allowing you to access your flames and making you active. When this happens, small holes open in your soul that with time, use and trauma can become larger, causing chronic spiritual pain, that is where bonds and harmony come in. Links to other flames (and therefore souls) can help as pain relievers for all parties involved by superficially plugging the gaps and not allowing the core of the soul to be exposed. The exception to this is the flames of the sky which, due to their harmony attribute, can fill the gaps in other souls but not in their own, while the elements fill the gaps in their Sky, which makes this type of bond highly sought after. It is not just about healing the soul, it is a promise of eternal loyalty and devotion between each party, letting your own soul find a home in your Sky to fill the gaps in it and knowing that you will always have someone in who to trust for the rest of your life. Both harmony and general bonds are promises of eternal trust and loyalty, no active person will ever try to harm anyone they are bonded with much less an element to their Sky. A Sky needs a bond with each of the elements to stay sane and healthy physically, mentally and spiritually. The more powerful he is, the more links he needs. These can be created immediately if the souls are very compatible or by courtship if they don't are.
Well, with that explained, here is my TCF AU using this concept (o^ ^o)b.
Cale is definitely a Misty Sky, someone who can accept anyone without discrimination, but seeking the maximum benefit for himself and his people at all times.
He is someone who will deceive and swindle to achieve his goals by seeking out anything that he thinks may be useful or annoying to his enemies, but at the same time he is totally incapable of deceiving those he considers his by telling only lies for omission and half-truths.
He will justify any display of affection as manipulation or pretend to ignore it, but the way his worst fear is that his people will die and ending up alone speaks volumes about his character.
He is possessive of everything that is his, including his people, and will always pay for every offense or good act. For example, he prolonged Hannah's suffering by giving her healing potions and delaying Mary's arrival for everything she did to the whales, but once she paid for his offenses he did everything he could to help her.
But the curse make him difficult to have bonds.
After all, being a Sky he would need to have precious people to keep his soul complete and not fall into madness, and we all already know that he does the curse.
During the cataclysm each and every one of the humans with enough will to do everything possible to live awakens their flames to later (once society is rebuilt) be studied, revealing what explained at the beginning.
Moving on to another topic, I firmly believe that Cale's family in the Shelter (LSH (Cloud), LSW (Lightning), LJJ (Sun), JMS (Mist), Grandma Kim (Rain) and maybe PJT (Storm)) They were his first set of items allowing him to heal and maintain his sanity, but his curse took them away from him.
He later formed a bond with CJS (Sunny Rain) until the unclassified monster disaster occurred.
Team 1 that he led began to court him, but the trauma prevented him from forming complete bonds by creating too many holes for them alone to fill, leaving them all suffering, Cale by not being able to form new bonds and the team by refusing to accept another Sky wearing down the souls of all of them.
On the other hand, the original Cale is also a Misty Sky, the Thames are a long line of powerful Sky's who unlocked this power on Earth 1 but which is inaccessible without intervention for the inhabitants of almost all worlds except for the variants of the land.
Cale was born with active flames due to the difficulties of childbirth, harmonizing with his mother (a Sunny Sky) in the process.
During his childhood he harmonized with Eric (Rain), Amiru (Storm) and Gilbert (Lightning) after accidentally waking them up with his flames, but after the death of his mother he tried to distance himself from them without success causing them all to be very clingy to each other. yes and promise never to abandon each other.
After the arrival of Basen and Violan he began to act like trash in hopes that the collateral families would stop insulting his father's new family, thereby destroying his reputation in the process.
He was in a courtship process with Ron (Mist) and Beacrox (Cloud) before starting to act, but he interrupted it by starting to treat them as simple servants.
Then the Harris Village accident happens and Choi Han's beating completely undoes any trace of harmony with the Molans.
The Plaza Terror accident kills Basen and seriously injures the nobles of the northwest who begin to stay with Cale in a villa within a small town.
The War occurs by killing the rest of the Henituse family and taking most of the people in the northeastern territory with it.
Cale, Eric, Amiru and Gilbert, letting themselves be carried away by the desire for revenge, enlist in the army, quickly rising through the ranks until the battle in Puzzle City arrives.
During that battle each of them dies and Cale is taken to the God of Death who offers him a deal.
Since both his and Kim-Cale's souls are incredibly damaged he offers to send him back in time to the moment before he met Choi Han and fuse his souls.
Og-Cale insists that Kim-Cale must be there if the deal involves him and the God of Death brings him in while he was taking a nap on his day off, accidentally dragging Team 1 along due to the courtship.
They protest without wanting to send their leader (Sky) to a world destined for destruction until GoD blurts out that the reincarnation of the shelter family lives in that world which makes them stop trying knowing that Kim-Cale would do anything for see his elements again, so they start negotiating to go with him (Min Ah including his family being the only one with close relatives ( ╥ω╥ ))
Cale protests that they should not waste their lives for a trip that would bring them no benefit, but they tell him that they do not do it for benefits, but do it solely out of their loyalty.
This last exchange causes Cale to finally understand that they would stay by his side and finally accepts them into his Sky, establishing harmony.
Og-Cale on the other hand watches the exchange, and feeling a little jealous (very, very jealous (¬_¬)) tells GoD if Kim-Cale can take his people with him because he couldn't do the same demanding that Eric, Amiru and Gilbert travel with him.
GoD, wanting Nameless 1 to be saved, accepts the demand and quickly brings them, taking advantage of the fact that they recently died, to explain everything to them.
Only when they are about to seal the deal does Kim-Cale realize that GoD never mentioned what had happened to CJS and after much insistence he finally blurts out that he had become his subordinate and that he was currently on a mission in another country. world.
On the condition that CJS visits him as soon as possible he accepts the deal.
The deal is finally complete, Kim-Cale and Og-Cale will be a single person once the respective regression and transmigration begins, the nobles of the northeast will return to their bodies from before the Plaza Terror accident and the Koreans will be left in a merchant caravan with forged identification documents just one day from Rain City.
The biggest hypocrite in the world that we all love (¬‿¬)
Cale: I want a slacker life.
Cale: But to have a peaceful life, my family needs to have a peaceful life as well, and we need to live in a peaceful world too to not be bothered by anyone.
Cale: So let’s achieve world peace.
Cale: Then let’s do multiverse world peace because other worlds could also bother us and for an unknown reason I HAVE to be the one who does it instead of sending my subordinates and lazing around.
Cale: And while striving for world peace, something that nobody has been able to achieve so far, I’ll complain that I don’t want to work and say I’m weak.
Cale: Ah, I’m weak. *killing the strongest villain who tried to become god*
Cale: I want a slacker life. *trying to achieve world peace and working more than anyone else*
Cale: Sigh…
Reader: Sigh…
The animation of the battle of Maple Castle encouraged me to re-read it and I really enjoyed it (⌒▽⌒)☆
Spoilers for chapters 280 to 288
The Whipper king is a fucking cowardly bastard who deserved to die during the civil war and it is certain that unless he acts as an enemy or obstacle he will die in every fic I am ever going to write 凸(`△´#)
The way Toonka encouraged his soldiers made me enjoy his unique style of charisma and the strategy meeting was simply amazing.
The beginning of the battle was fabulous, in fact the references to KRS's life and the cataclysm were fabulous and now I understand everything correctly (*¯︶¯*)
Toonka ignoring all formalities and attacking instantly was simply art.
The way the soldiers (from both sides) reacted once the barbarians and the third brigade clashed was incredible, I like the way it is indicated that even those who are not warriors as long as they are from the Whipper kingdom are crazy (at least from the eyes of the empire) (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)
I really liked the clash between Toonka and Huten since it shows the character of both parties and that same meeting is what motivates Kanelle to go ahead with the plan (*≧ω≦*)
I liked the bone birds, they show the progress of the Whipper kingdom in accepting magic again, from nothing to just magical tools to magic being allowed but only as long as no one in the town gets hurt. Huten being tricked, the native wizards acting freely and unleashing their full power, the dwarves gaining determination to defeat the lions, and Cale discovering his new power; All of this happened in a single chapter (385) and it was so fast that I felt like I was really there, sheltered in the castle and seeing the war in front of me. That Huten thought Cale would never rise up against the empire was funny paraphrasing Raon "Human! Are we scamming the Duke?!" Hay and Raon! It's super cute! The way he said that all of Cale's powers had to be fortified and then got sad because he didn't have enough in his piggy bank touched my heart! (っ˘ω˘ς )
The wizards creating a bottleneck for the warriors to fight with Toonka and his people excited was great! I felt my adrenaline rising! ٩(◕‿◕)۶
The political plots in the background were just the icing on the cake and Choi Han pledging to stay hidden and being a tsundere with Toonka I loved it! Huten wanting to kill Toonka and automatically forgetting about him as soon as Choi Han arrived was very "I don't care about you anymore, I have a new rival" style, but it happens that that rival is just as (more) stronger than me and seems to have come out of hell ↑_(ΦwΦ)Ψ
Meanwhile Choi Han used it as a springboard to improve his sword art. Huten thinking that Choi Han is a noble for his "refined sword art" was funny and in the background the soldiers going crazy and shouting instructions like they should tie the enemies' feet improved the situation a lot (ᵔ◡ᵔ)b
Choi Han understanding that he didn't fall into darkness thanks to his family was very cute to me and his joint battle with Toonka was great. I like the way they treat the "grand Duke of the empire" like a rag doll <( ̄ω ̄)>
And the first time I saw the Whipper kingdom strategy I didn't understand it but now I was excited to reach the climax of it, the chaos caused was glorious with all the rubble falling and every armor destroyed \(✯◡✯)/
This is how the first battle of Maple Castle ends.
I'm waiting for enough chapters of book 2 to be uploaded to start a marathon and while I wait I've been reading the manhwa.
And I'm going to say it honestly, I was a little disappointed (-ω-、), I'm going to do little reviews for the chapters I read from now on so here's my review of the first ten chapters.
The first thing I noticed is that they skipped the scene where KRS woke up in Cale's body and I'm a little disappointed that Ron's first appearance isn't the same, but the bathroom scene makes up for it a bit (^〃^)b, its design is charming and I loved the fox eyes that seem to have eyeliner in Cale's design, after all they demonstrate his cunning, plus as another publication mentions, he is the only character with white pupils instead of black, if we add the knowledge That his eyes are the same as when he was KRS is a very good omen ⸜( ´ ꒳ ` )⸝
The face Cale made when he declared that the key to fashion is the face gave me a lot of tenderness so there are no complaints on that part ┐( ̄∀ ̄)┌
The first appearance of the Henituse family was very similar to the one in the novel and the panels were very interesting, I liked it, that's all I'll say (︶‿︺)
I really liked Billos's design, I feel that it correctly captures his character and description ( ̄ ▽  ̄)
Continuing to talk about the design, for some reason I really liked Ohn's shoes in their first appearance, they reminded me of ballet slippers and now I have the headcanon that that is the type of shoe he likes to wear, something comfortable and soft but It is perfect for stealth missions and easy to obtain regardless of your socioeconomic level (─‿‿─)
The first appearance of the man-eating tree was not as shocking as I expected, I feel like it still had a lot of color for a dead mana-infected tree, in fact, I didn't like its appearance either once I obtained the Indestructible Shield, where are the blue leaves? ? because that's green! not blue! (; ̄Д ̄)
The design of the gluttonous priestess seemed a little too similar to Egyptian clothing for someone who lived in the jungle, although it is acceptable if that is Cale's imagination (ᓀ ᓀ)
In the bar scene I saw a ruffian with a long blue braid and my first thought was, Why didn't they give that design to, I don't know, Bud? He's too handsome for an extra (`皿´#)
When Cale and Choi Han meet Cale seemed a little awkward to me and he is perfect for this type of scene plus Ohn and Hong were super cute (´ ∀ ` *)
I liked Choi Han's design, they made all the black of the clothes work and although I would have liked the cape to be brown instead of gray, the magenta highlights in the hair and the large number of buckles on his boots made me like it. I would like the design (´▽`)b
The first mention of how those who give you food are good people hit my heart when remembering Cale's past, it was perfect ヽ(⌒▽⌒)ノ
The first appearance of Hans and Beacrox is not very memorable but I loved their designs, I imagined Hans as a thirty-something with a beard but I loved the fact that they presented him as a cute twenty-something, and just looking at Beacrox gives that enhanced mysterious and terrifying vibe because of the dark circles under his eyes, but he looks incredible and the resemblance to Ron is noticeable.
Cale's imagination with the bowling pins-Ron and Beacrox being hit by a ball-Choi Han was very cute highlighting Cale's way of thinking and demonstrating it again with the matryoshkas-Ron, Beacrox and Choi Han (≧◡≦)
Deruth's reflections on Cale's change reminded me that no matter how bad a father he is, he is still one.
The first appearance of the dreaded lemons was iconic and Cale's expressions are beautiful ( ̄ω ̄)
Choi Han's transformation from mad dog to puppy has already begun and it is beautiful ٩(◕‿◕。)۶
The Henituse family crest was shown for the first time that I have noticed it and it is perfect.
Rosalyn and Lock's silhouettes with their shadows were incredible and gave us a good idea of what they will look like.
Besides Cale's imagination of what Raon looked like was hilarious, is that perhaps a foreshadowing of his adult form? Or is Cale just underestimating things? (°▽°)?
I really liked the first appearance of the Indestructible Shield, but I was left wondering where the wings were (¯ . ¯٥)?
Ohn and Hong's adoption was very sweet and Hans' reaction to "the cute nim-kitties" was hilarious and lived up to his name as a cat lover, plus the faces they made when they found out they were Discovered I loved them (´ ε `)♡
I really liked the conversation between Cale and Billos, plus the face Billos makes is very cool (✧ω✧)
And this is everything that caught my attention from the manhwa so far\(٥⁀▽⁀ )/
See you later! (^0^)ノ
