Translation:

She's a fun fun girl, she's a Mew Mew kitty

Would it be okay to cross over to hell? pretty revolution!

The world's current meaningless, monotone rhythm

She's saving the day, please help, Mew Mew!

She's a fun fun girl who is ready to play

Would it be okay to force through with all my power, pretty revolution!

Massacre the world, next is underwater

She's saving the day, please help, Mew Mew!

She is saving the day, isn't it hot here?

She is saving the day, iunno the lyrics

So the thought first came up because we were discussing Dark World logistics. There's always been the mystery of how Ralsei could travel to Dark Worlds, but we chalked it up to Castle Town magic for while. Eventually my brother realized that Ralsei being Kris’s knife explains it really well.

Kris brings it everywhere they go, but it isn’t visible to us in the inventory. We never see it become anything in the Dark World either. When Susie uses it to make a fountain, nothing is in her hands or in the ground once they’re inside. Even if it didn’t become a Darkner, you would expect it to at least be an item. If the knife became Ralsei, he could walk off and meet up with them later.

He never states exactly why he never turns to stone, and we’re left to assume it’s because he comes from Castle Town. But I think it could be that he doesn’t have a home location. He just belongs anywhere Kris goes.

All theories have merit, but I much prefer the thought that he’s an item we have seen. I kind of expect to never get a reveal of his light form. But if we do, I would be much more satisfied if he was here all along, rather than some lost item with little current importance.

I absolutely adore the idea that Kris cares about his Light World form to this day. How this affects his relationship with Kris is the reason I want it to be true.

Kris is already weirded out because this guy looks a lot like their brother that they miss. And he’s the nice goat monster they could never be. But on top of all that, it’s their beloved knife! They love that thing. They take such good care of it. And now it’s talking to them and trying to be friends. It’s the experience you would get if your dog started talking.

And Ralsei being so subservient to Kris would make so much sense. It’s not just because they’re a Lightner hero in the prophecy. They’re basically his best friend. He never takes what we do in bad faith because he knows how much Kris cares about him in the Light World.

I know Ralsei doesn’t look very knife-like, but I don’t think that’s a big issue? The designs for important Darkners seem to focus on being characters rather than objects.

It would also be cool if he looks this way because he doesn’t want to be the knife. He wants to be a fluffy companion who supports Kris with healing magic. Not a violent blade that hurts and creates dark fountains.

I just really like him as the knife because it makes me love Ralsei as much as I love Kris and Susie. I hope to convince someone that knife boy is an awesome idea.
