Part 8 becomes part 12 (see doctor who time lords)

Part 16 becomes part 8 (see Sonic 06 silver)

Part 13 becomes part 11 to fit its correlation with part 7

Right now I am making the necessary changes for the parts in order for the last section (parts 13-16) to even work

This means part 5 and 6 have to swap to correlate with their correlated parts 9, 10 respectively

This refinement allowed me to dictate what was to happen in the parts coming forward

When I discovered Persepolis in 2019, I had no parts planned, Avengers Endgame, when it came out was the culmination of all of marvel’s greatness in one major finale, an idea that sticks with me today

Kojima would be one of the few characters that didn’t undergo major changes based on my opinions

The new feudal setting allowed SHOGUN GUY, SEPHIROTH MEPHILES, ROOT MOON, BUDDHA FATSO, and the MONKEY KING to exist in the Karachi universe based off of

#gamedev

This was a consequence of my weeaboo ideology, and would come back to bite me when my parents divorced

Anyways Kojima is now a farmer in a 1621 era Japan village (sengoku period, aka warring states period) the plot stayed the same but just in a different time frame

“Conservatives” and “Christians” in my eyes were part of an “oppressive system” that was doomed to fail. Unless America turned to modernism and actually rectified its discrimination, the United States could never be as cultured as Japan, I thus could therefore goon to fight said oppression
November 16, 2025 at 1:45 AM
#gamedev

I believed Japan was in the future and America was a backwards country that never had a culture, the country that produced anime, manga, anime body pillows was superior because compared to a backwards culture like America Japan destroyed the US in terms of culture
November 16, 2025 at 1:45 AM
#gamedev

Modernism can be seen as the aesthetic of America and traditional Japanese architecture as the architecture of Japan

This was based on my anti-American, pro-atheist, pro-liberal, pro-democrat bias at the time
November 16, 2025 at 1:45 AM
#gamedev

This was also based in part on the way I learned Japanese. I felt like having a traditional Japanese image of a village, art or photo, would be more effective in terms of wanting to learn Japanese than having a modern setting, which can be seen in literally any country
November 16, 2025 at 1:45 AM
#gamedev

However I eventually decided that the “man in modern-day Japan suddenly becoming a powerful figure prophesied to beat another powerful figure was too cliche and similar to the other animes at the time, and so, I chose to focus on a more traditional Japanese setting rather than a modern one

this was retconned when I transferred my ripoff bill cipher, ORDRXZX THE DARK LORD to the series, and DECEPTION instead of being an all-powerful Chi Lord who snapped universes out of existence during his wife’s wedding was another master of Chi alongside CHINESE INSTRUMENT
November 16, 2025 at 1:45 AM
#gamedev

Their master is CHINESE INSTRUMENT alongside his students NINETAILS, EAVES SCUM, WATERBENDER GUY, and ALIEN GURL, fight to take down the evil DARK DECIEVER DECEPTION (who looks like Breath of the Wild Ganon)
November 16, 2025 at 1:45 AM
#gamedev

His life was ruined by DECEPTION THE DARK DECIEVER fated to be stopped by a man named Karachi, so he is taken from his normal life in Japan to somewhere in the pacific by the CHI LORDS (who practiced a martial art known as Chi that can warp atoms and particles to the users will)
November 16, 2025 at 1:45 AM
#gamedev

Thus the character of Karachi Hirachi was born, then known as Kojima Hirachi

This was a prototype of Kojima, your typical anime boy who lived in modern day Japan, who then had his life ruined because he was fated to become the Karachi in a prophecy as determined by the book of wisdom

and the Surname Shah was based off the deposed Shah as seen in Persepolis)
