Rambling about Fairies - Volume 21 End Notes
There's some interesting information in these cards!
So first in Joey’s card, I think this is the first time we get canonical instance of tattoos being erased by magic. This comes into play later in Sabertooth. Also, bodybuilding competitions apparently run under the same rules as traditional Japanese bathhouses in this world and I think that’s funny.
Chico's magic has a really cool concept and I wish we saw it in play. I wish we knew how it interacts with Bickslow's magic, too. Also, it especially mentions Chico's magic is 'extremely powerful'. I really wish we saw more of it to know what that meant.
Anyways, her family owns both the dorms and a local cafe? Cool. I think it's appropriate considering this implied Chico can only take jobs inside of Magnolia, so she's usually doing jobs at home instead.
And of course, Kinana's card. It's sweet Mashima gave this to us right after Nirvana. She's trying to learn takeover?? Cool. I wish she used it, then, what on earth happened to that? She seems magicless to me.
I think it's both fitting and sad that she dislikes snakes. She got turned into one, so I guess eh, makes sense.
I'm not personally a fan of the direction of her design with the frills and all, but it's unique, so I wish she kept it. Also her lime green to dark purple palette is really nice. I'm really happy she got a continuation to her story in the anime.
