Ｓｈａｒｋｏ

流石に今回は遅れないよう…！！

明日2026年2月19日発売のチャンピオンREDにて、3話連続短期連載をさせて頂いたLC番外編のラストになります。

そしてこれにて本編、外伝、番外編と長く描かせて頂いたLCも完結となる事になりました。

今回は、番外編からお世話になってきたチャピオンREDがその記念として表紙を描かせて頂き、またステッカーも6種類描かせて頂きました！

番外編内容は杳馬とパルティータです。

ラストを飾るのに果たして相応しい話になったのかどうか；；ちょっとアレな感じですが…。それでも、LCの因縁の始まりになった箇所でもあるので、やっぱり描いておくべきなのかなと思っています。

今は番外編の単行本作業に追われまくっています；；；；

正直、まだ完結という実感は湧いていない慌ただしさなのですが；それでは、何らかの切り替わりの時期なのだという感覚はとてもあります。

そんな中、バレンタインのチョコを送って下さった方々、本当に有り難うございます！！毎年チョコを送って下さる方が変わらずまた送って下さると言う、それこそ本当にLCが繋いで下さった御縁だなと、例年以上に有り難く思いました…。

それとこのタイミングで、本当に特別な人と会ってご飯に行くタイミンうが出来て（この話はしていいのかどうかわからないので；；ちょっと伏せておきますが；；）、それもLCの繋いだ不思議で大事な時間になりました。

そして、改めてここまで応援して下さった皆様、担当、編集の皆様、アシスタント、関わってくれた多くの皆様、そして何より車田正美先生、こんなに長く続く作品に育て見守って下さった事、本当に有り難く、幸せに思っています。

それとLCキャラ、みんな大好きだよ。生まれてくれて有り難う☺️✨

but the more you know , nope, he's not as emotionally constipated like camus is, he's pretty expressive for an aquarius.

the moment unity shows up, the moment he thaws (literally, degel is french for thawing, it's even noted in his gaiden)

it looks like kardia is the one who obeys him, as he notes "only this time I will listen to you"meaning normally it's the other way around, kardia who listens to degel.

degel goes thru the five stages of grief in both main lc and hia gaiden, in order:

denial:

anger:

bargaining:

depression:

acceptance

Noteworthy that in either cases, he was constantly wavering, affected to how personal the fights are to him (both unity and krest) , he's the first to lost his shit when pandora seemingly killed unity when ironically kardia is more consistent in his feelings, be either boredom or pleasure, when degel, again, is the one who lost his shit (even if briefly, noteworthy that kardia is the ne who called him out on that) and goes through the five stages of grief in his fight due to how personal it is to him, to fight his master first and later his childhood friend, friend in same path of study. He actually parallels Hyoga more than Camus himself, despite his design. While he clearly hold Seraphian in high regard, from how he saw her, from how he called her "Lady Seraphina" but directly called Unity by name, it is likely it's more because of closeness than disrespect, as he still remind Unity he shouldn't do this as the Lord's son. Regardless of the lack of honorific used with Unity, he obviously see both siblings in high regards, hold them very, very, very dearly, not only he can barely keep his shit straight with Unity, but also, chose to die with Seraphina. (other than Dohko tried it with Kagaho, keyword tried, and gemini twins also does it, you would think teshirogi do have a thing for together in death trope)

As Krest put it, he's actually sensitive. he cried not only when fighting unity, but also when he carried seraphina from garnet's mansion

He's also surprisingly playful, shown as he winked to Flourite, he's also shown to agitate Aspros, poking where it greatly matters for the older gemini, first is the twin's similarity (or better said, either twin are offended when people imply they are NOT similar) and the second is his ambition to be pope. He's not being insensitive, he's intentionally pokes Aspros where it hurts. Considering he can go out of his way to avoid Aspros, him not only approaching Defteros but also knows where it hurts for Aspros shows that...

not only to bluegraad siblings, he also.... seemingly interested, to put it mildly, in both Gemini twins. He looks so excited when Defteros is neatly dressed in the travel suits, but also Aspros glitters in his flashback as he admits he admires Aspros, the only person more academically intellectual than himself in the entire sanctuary, as well his tenacity , perseverance and hard work. This isn't the first time he admits it, he also did it in Defteros' gaiden. Talking to Defteros as to how awesome Aspros is, and later be excited when Defteros put on the coat? He's interested in both twins, alright.

- he has REALLY bad posture. in the PT base during yorknew, when Chrollo is reading a book, he is literally hunched over and his back is at like a 45 degree angle🥺

- he’s very smug and cocky. after his fight against Zeno and Silva, he asks with a smirk to Zeno “if we were in a fight, who would win, you or me?” and chuckles knowingly when Zeno replies. during Chrollo vs Hisoka, Chrollo says that he is “100% sure that i am going to win”

- his personality switches depending on who he’s with. with the troupe, he’s logical and stoic—never losing his temper. when he’s with Hisoka, he’s much more relaxed and friendly + smiles much more often. when he’s with someone older, he’s respectful.

- he doesn’t seem to mind celebrations/parties. he’s seen drinking with the troupe in a manga panel after the auction.

- he seems very self aware of his handsome appearance, as he lured Neon in + most of the abilities in his book are from women.

- in terms of physical strength, Chrollo is 7th in the Troupe —above Bonolenov, Nobunaga, Shalnark, Pakunoda, Shizuku, and Kortopi, making him MUCH MUCH MUCH stronger than even superhumans such as Gon and Killua. (I love this fact for some reason)

- he had many similarities to Gon and Kurapika as a kid. (read Ch. 395-397, which is the Troupe backstory. it has a lot of cute baby Troupe member scenes🥺)

- he has a habit of covering his mouth with his hand whenever he is thinking deeply about something or connecting the lines.

- he knows a shocking amount about the Kakin Empire (in the manga), even more so than some of the Princes of the Kakin Empire.

- he seems to have a habit of smirking whenever something is going according to plan or when something went according to plan. he also just seems to enjoy smirking in general.

- his favorite color seems to be purple due to much of his outfits being some sort of variation of purple.

- in official arts + mobage cards, he seems to have dark circles under his eyes. in the yorknew city arc, he is also the only troupe member who didn’t sleep during the entire arc, meaning that he seems to have some sort of insomnia.

- in mobage cards, Chrollo seems to have a habit of fidgeting with his clothes. (pulling off his tie during the Christmas mobage card, playing with his hat, etc,.)

- he is very athletic, considering how at the end of yorknew city when he was left nen-less on those plateaus, he managed to climb down and find shelter all by himself.

- he is also very rich, since on average, every Zoldyck assassination costs around 1 billion—Chrollo managed to afford to assassinate the 10 Dons, meaning 10 billion Jenny.

- Chrollo doesn’t seem to care whenever someone is being disrespectful towards him or the troupe.

- Chrollo seems to have a particular fondness for suits, as he is often seen wearing a suit in official arts

- Chrollo often wears clothing that covers much of his body

- Chrollo seems to have the traditional values of a chivalrous man, meaning that he respects women quite a lot and makes sures to keep them safe. Chrollo made sure to catch Neon in the most respectful way when she “fell” (he literally could have just grabbed her by the arm and it would have been fine), he made sure to keep Pakunoda + Machi + Shizuku in the same team during yorknew (there were no men in their team), and during the Chrollo vs Hisoka battle, none of the female spectators (or even the commentator) were harmed.

Okay soo the lost canvas saints, how they would handle fatherhood that’s also a tricky question but actually it was easier to answer than the classic ones, also I really liked this one a lot.

Shion - not yet, and if the classic anime and manga are something to follow not even in the next two centuries too, but he thinks that he is good, he is a good teacher however.

Hasgard - Yes, he is just the best father at Sanctuary and nobody can convince me of the contrary.

Aspros - I believe that he shouldn’t even be alowed to have kids, and if he have one may god have mercy for this poor kid.

Defteros - I think that he would be a good father, he would struggle a lot, specially if he have more than one kid, but in the end he is giving his best.

Manigold - he probably wouldn’t be a father, but he is not really bad dealing with kids, he would just prefer to not have kids.

Regulus - assuming he is old enough he would be a good father too, and I can see him passing the things he learned with his father to his kids.

Asmita - different than Shaka he would be a good father, but he would need a lot of help for some things that may require vision, otherwise not much problems at all.

Dokho - at this point he is good with kids, but more as a teacher or babysitter, he his not yet really ready to be a father.

Kardia - assuming that his health is good enough to have a kid he would be a surprisingly good father, a very laid back one, but his kids love him.

Sysiphos - hands down one of the best fathers in all Sanctuary, but can be a little over protective sometimes.

El Cid - probably a good father, but will not be too good at dealing with some of the emotional problems that may come along the way.

Degel - I believe he will handle pretty well, and you can be sure that his kids would learn a lot of important lessons about life.

The Palestinian people are known for being among the most educated and learning-loving. Despite the harsh conditions we have endured over the years, we still have smart, brave, and talented individuals, filled with creativity and productivity.☑💪

お久しぶりです…！

巷では車田先生の画業50周年が盛り上がっているようですね…！

50周年なんて本当に途方もない…。。それでも精力的にどんどん挑戦して、御自分の世界を広げていく車田先生は本当に凄いなと改めて思います。

そんな中、私もちまちま寄稿させて頂いております。

まずは週刊少年チャンピオン24号にて、スピンオフ作家のスペシャルお祝いイラスト、描かせて頂きました。

小さいですが一度ちゃんと描いてみたかったオデッセウスです^^ -

それと 月刊チャンピオンRED7月号にて、久々にまた番外編を描かせて頂きました！

こちらは黄金聖闘士になったばかりのカルディアと先輩黄金のマニゴルドという感じのお話です。二人ともちょっと幼いです。

前回のハスガードとエルシドに続いて喧嘩シリーズみたいな感じでしょうか；

本当に未だこうした号に声をかけて頂いてありがたい限りです。

それと、この番外編のラストページにさりげなく告知がありましたが……

そうなんです。今回のREDで情報解禁となりましたが…

『聖闘士星矢THE LOST CANVAS冥王神話』

オーディオドラマが今夏、発売決定となりました…！！！！

よ、ようやく告知できます…。。

実は結構前からこのお話は頂いていて、シナリオも今回関わらせて頂いて、脚本の方と何度かやり取りしつつ、とても楽しんで頂ける内容になったんじゃないかなと思います。

ポスターとかも描き下ろしたりしたので、本当に喜んでいただけたらいいなと思います…！

内容も告知ページにある通り、幼サーシャとカルディアコンビにマニゴルドが加わります。アニメではカルディア活躍までは至れなかったので、こちらのオーディオドラマではとても活き活き活躍させて貰えて、私も感無量です…。収録も何度か関東まで行って立ち会わせて頂きましたが、ど迫力で皆様とても素晴らしかったです…（泣）。

なんて今から色々放出してもアレですので…;;近くなりましたらまた詳しくお知らせしたいと思います！

今回告知ページを見て、よ良かった…私の妄想じゃなかった…;;;と一安心です……。。
