GUESS WHO'S BACK!

Well, not Nausicaa. She's totally new. Nausicaa is the daughter of a king in a world where everything went to shit, and she's coming from the end of her canon when everything is still pretty fucked but marginally less so.

I, on the other hand, am not new! I am the one who's back. My name's Paul, you may know me as the player of Kyobear Kyouko Sakura, and I'm bringing you this kid. She's moving from stressing about saving the whole damn world to stressing about saving one measly beach. It's like when you have a summer break in high school but still have to take classes.

Good to be back, cause I've missed you guys. I look forward to throwing her at you! Feel free to reach me at miyazaki895 whenever you like!

[insect_princess]

YES PLS

I'm glad to be back and see you around /spins in hug


... SHE'S ACTUALLY from the comics, fair warning. The movie is great but a LOOOOOOT of shit went down in the comics that the movie doesn't even BEGIN to go into. Really fascinating stuff.

oh shit well i guess im gonna have to read those

[insect_princess]

yeah there's some stuff....

Like, remember how in the movie it's basically a war between the Pejitei and the Torumekians? WELL in the comics, the Pejitei are destroyed in the first few pages, and the Torumekians are actually fighting against the Dorok Empire. They're led by Kushana's two older brothers and their father. Kushana ends up being this savior figure for them, kind of like Nausicaa is. And meanwhile Nausicaa's whole motivation in the comics becomes to (1) save as many people as she can, and (2) figure out what the actual fuck is going on with the Sea of Corruption. Which has an AMAZING denouement and subsequent finale which I will not spoil. But long story short there's a lot more to the world in the comics than the movie!
