@zexalmonth Day 14 J-Justice
I think Zexal deserved more justice as a fusion
Let me elaborate
Zexal was already good as it was, but I think it could have been done even better
It didn’t always sit right with me, that they talked mostly with Yuma‘s voice and sometimes with Astral’s, and sure they did have moments when they spoke at the same time, but why not have it always like that?
You could say it was because they were not quite One yet at the first time they formed Zexal, which is okay for the FIRST TIME,
But this was a new peak in their relationship, they literally became One. Maybe it could have just been both their voices from then on all the time or maybe just Yuma‘s Voice but influenced by Astral‘s it would have been deeper.
Honestly I would have loved just an Episode where they would form Zexal, just out of curiosity, not for a duel (even though a duel would eventually happen, I mean this is Yugioh)
Just Zexal walking around as their own person and trying things for themselves as half human-half astral
Not Yuma. Not Astral. Zexal.
So that at the end of the day, Astral could understand the human world better and Yuma could understand Astral‘s feelings of being lost in another world better
It all also depends on when the episodes takes place, but anyway-
I just want to see more of Zexal being Zexal and learning to be Zexal outside of duels.
Zexal is Yuma‘s and Astral‘s relationship given form - Just like a specific other alien fusion
You know how ecstatic Garnet would be to meet Zexal??
Another baby fusion she could train and mentor like Stevonnie, to show them what being a fusion really means
I am so close to convince myself to draw a „Here comes a thought“ fanart of them or ANYTHING GARNET DID WITH STEVONNIE-

More Notes about it under the cut!
-Firstly I wanted to make his past life a.k.a. Nasch look DIFFERENT than Ryouga himself. Past lives do not work that way. They may look similar, but not directly a copy paste version. I mean, Ryouga Kamishiro isn’t even Nasch reincarnated. It is implied, if not canon, that the Kamishiros are Descendants of Nasch and Merag (however so, because I don’t think they had kids??), so I guess it makes sense, that they look similar. But definitely not the same! I also made Nasch older than Ryouga, because I won‘t have a 14 year old fight in a war and lose every single one of his soldiers (and his sister and adopted daughter). Here he‘s 19.
-Which also brings me to my trans!Ryouga headcanon, where I think that Ryouga was actually born a girl— Important! Ryouga, not Nasch! Nasch was born as a boy. — So Ryouga was originally a girl, but after the accident, when Nasch‘s soul entered her/his body, Ryouga started to feel more like a boy, because her/his soul was now actually a male and not female anymore.
-Also I finally settled down, what nationalities I think all the Barinas are. As you can see I headcanon Nasch and Merag as Greek (maybe Japanese mixed as Ryouga and Rio, but still part Greek, because of the descendants thing). I just blame the locations of their ruins on volcanic locations shift, as someone informed me about it on my map post. You‘ll see what I came up with for the others, I’m especially excited for Vector.
-I also liked the Heterochromia in his Barian form, so I think he had it already as Nasch and only got it back, when regaining his memories and barian powers. Because the left eye of the barians only turns red when dueling, so they can see the monsters and all. You could say they see… Duel Spirits. But that’s the thing. They can only see them in duels or when they „activate“ their red eye. But I think Nasch, as the leader of the barians is so powerful that his red eye is permanent, making him able to see duel spirits all the time. (I mean Vector had to absorb 4 barian emperors to even truly compete with Nasch, meaning Nasch alone is as powerful as 5 barian emperors)
-I changed his necklace to an actual shark tooth, because I was so disappointed, when I found out it wasn’t a real shark tooth. I mean, yeah it‘s cute that it had a family picture of them in it, but I’m not saying he doesn’t have that anymore, just not in a necklace. I think the tooth is something he got it from his father, because I headcanon he was a marine biologist. Ryouga also wants to become a marine biologist and study sharks. Because being emperor isn’t really an option in this time.
-We know Ryouga and Rio share silver rings and he still has his, he now just has a golden extra one with a sapphire, which serves as a promise ring for him and Durbe. Durbe of course also has one, also golden with a ruby.
-He, Rio and Durbe all share friendship bracelets, with their barian aura colours. It was Rio‘s idea, but Durbe made them.
-I also love the idea of him and Rio having shark teeth. Were they born with them? No one knows…
-Now for the Nasch redesign, I gave him a more casual kind of look. Of course he has some armour, but only wears it later in the story, when really going into war.
-I also gave him a crow BECAUSE KING NEEDS A CROWN and made it look similar to his barian crown, but with extra wings on them. He let them be added to the crown, to show his connection to Durbe and the alliance with his king indirectly to the whole kingdom. Also because he misses him. Of course not every one was fine with this, but Nasch was such a beloved ruler, no one dared to oppose him.
-I got the Idea for the sword switch from a fanfic I read about them once, where they actually got their swords together ad named them after each others stars of the big dipper. So here they got their swords, but switched them and named them after the other (Dubhe and Benetnasch) so they could still fight side by side, even when apart.
If you have any other questions about the redesigns, ask away, because as you can tell I really like to yap about them! :)

Ruining my grades and sleeping schedule for my favorites :)
@sealedeyesblog inspired me to do this little animatic
I used it to kinda show Vector‘s and Alcora‘s relationship throughout the centuries
Past life, first time meeting as Barians, Zexall II and finally post series as humans
For being my first real animatic I’m actually pretty satisfied and proud of it :))
I concur
This is the best video I’ve seen in my life
“do you like sub vector or dub vector?”
yes
