LSK prequel links

[lucathia]

Browsed Yu Wo's plurk a bit (she mentions that she wants to write a sidestory about how Adair started devoting himself to Sun, eeee! I hope she does write it someday. She also mentions that we'll get to thoroughly know Adair after volume 8...)

She also linked some drawings by the artist of the LSK prequel (女武, which I still don't know how to translate. Female Warrior. Or... Female Martial Arts. Neither sounds cool!)

I am fascinated by the story of the 1st generation though. Pics!!

Height Comparison
First drawing - 1st generation "Sun" (a...bard), 1st generation "Judge" (female!), the Holy King
Second drawing - 1st generation Moon, I think, and 1st generation...Ice, I believe... not sure
Third drawing - 1st generation Cloud (he looks so apathetic!), 1st generation Blaze
Fourth drawing - 1st generation Earth (whoa, he looks innocent), 1st generation Leaf (an elf!!)
Fifth drawing - "Sun" and "Judge" again

1st generation "Judge" (I'll refer to her as Carol for now...
She looks really cool. :D I wonder what that thing she has on the side of her head is!

Random drawing of Carol and 1st generation Sun (who I'll refer to as Sylvester)

Weapon designs
Carol and Sylvester's weapon designs. For Carol, A was chosen. For Sylvester, G was chosen (that design was based on the electrical guitar, minus the handle). I like A, since it's inspired by the sun!

More drawings related to the LSK prequel
There are a few pages of comic with Sylvester wanting to see Carol but getting denied. 1st generation "Storm" says he can introduce him to more women, while first generation "Earth" tries to cheer him up. Oh gosh, their personalities... so different from the 38th generation! There are some 4-koma strips at the end, as well as two parody drawings of this and No Hero.

Also, more weapon designs!
- Hell's weapon designs
- not sure who's knife this is
- Leaf's bow designs
- Cloud's weapon designs - I guess his weapon has always been some sort of katana or slim sword
- Blaze's weapon design - Does this mean he has two swords? It's labeled Blaze, but I think Judgment's the one who has two blades here.
- Ice's weapon designs *cough* popsicle...
- Sun's weapon designs
- Earth's sword and shield designs

Colored pics! *stares* :3
Good, warm faction
Cruel, cold-hearted faction

(These are sold by Yu Wo's mom~)

Ah, looks like Blaze just has one weapon. Looks like an ax. Hell looks like Judgment (and both use two blades), so it seems like the 1st generation Hell is probably Judgment. Wait, I thought the rumors/legend was that Hell was Sun... XD;;

I wish I'd managed to buy the bundle! Yu Wo's posted the first book but not the second book yet. So far from what she's posted online, we've only met Carol, Sylvester, and a possible third 1st generation knight (whose position I haven't figured out yet... some say he must be Earth, some say he must be Metal...I think maybe Metal more than anyone else)

alskdjfds YES!!

eeeeeeeeeeeeeee, omg load load load!!!

*dies laughing* What the hell is on Sun's head??

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! Female Judgement is awesome!! :D :D

XDD Bwah, damn does Cloud look bored. XDDD

Heh. Blaze looks confident.

Awwwwwwwwwwwww, Earth looks so young! And OH MY GOD, Leaf's an elf!! Which, suddenly makes a whole lot of sense...

:O!! Those pictures of Carol is amazing! Maybe it's a hairclip? Doesn't look like it extends to the other side of her head.

Haha, Carol doesn't look happy at Slyvester's arm being there. And hmmmm, so that thing is definitely alive then...

sdlkjfa Carol's weapon can split into two! :O

" 1st generation "Storm" says he can introduce him to more women, while first generation "Earth" tries to cheer him up"
*dies laughing* oh my gooooood~! How opposite can you get??


*looks at one picture.* The thing on Carol's head can be used as an eyeglass holder? Or is that another one, since it's on the other side of her head?

*dies* She threw a book/scroll/thing at someone's head!!

*hopes I'm actually looking at the right pictures. XDD;;;*

*blink* Do I see someone using Dragon's Sacred Brigandine?

O____o They really want to make sure Blaze's sword has points, anyway...

Woah are those daggers cool. ♥___♥ *checks your merchanise post* Metal's weapons are twin daggers?

asdlkf The person clearly had fun with Leaf's bow!

O______O Wow. Cloud's weapon is seriously awesome! (But daaaamn, cleaning these weapons would be really difficult!)

♥____________♥ Those dual weapons are sheer awesomeness!!

adslkfjdsl Ice's weapon! Some are so wind-like!

Ooooh, Earth has/had a sword?
...
Wow, they're pretty blocky. XDD

kjasfkla awesome coloured pictures! And Storm's still kicking. Hm. XDD

Oh, is that Ice in the bottom left corner?
...
Wait. This is the warm faction. Is that Cloud then? Huh.

ALSKDJFADS Two people with twinned weapons in the cold faction!! Wait, not THREE!! Is that Hell in the bottom right? alsdkjfa Whoever they are, eeeeeeeeeeeee!


"so it seems like the 1st generation Hell is probably Judgment. Wait, I thought the rumors/legend was that Hell was Sun... XD;;"
...WHAT. WHAT?? ladskfjadlk omg, *so curious!*

[lucathia]

I'm so excited that she's considering writing that backstory. :D (I was considering writing something with Adair and Sun set around the time they first meet for no_true_pair, but I guess I should go for something different. XD;;; )

Haha, do you want to know what's on Sylvester's head? XD;; The following small text may contain spoilers, though not a lot has been revealed about it. XD;; It's a slime... its name is "Little God", though in Chinese, the character for "God" sounds the same as "What", so it was really named for "What the heck is that". Not enough of the story has been posted for us to know what exactly Little God is... but theories by the readers are that... it's the God of Light. XDDDD I was immediately reminded of your fic with Meatbun!

XDD Bwah, damn does Cloud look bored. XDDD
I almost thought he was Ice! But after comparing the colored drawing... that can only be Cloud. XD;

Awwwwwwwwwwwww, Earth looks so young! And OH MY GOD, Leaf's an elf!! Which, suddenly makes a whole lot of sense...
He does! So young-looking! So naive looking! Very fitting for Leaf... I almost thought he was Leaf. XD; Hm, so this "Earth" guy is Sylvester's best friend then? :3 Leaf as an elf sure makes a lot of sense. :O (Makes me wonder if elves were more common back then. They seem isolated now!)

:O!! Those pictures of Carol is amazing! Maybe it's a hairclip? Doesn't look like it extends to the other side of her head.
Maybe some kind of device that lets her... judge people? XD;

sdlkjfa Carol's weapon can split into two! :O
So cool! \o/

*dies laughing* oh my gooooood~! How opposite can you get??
I know right? XDDDD I am very amused.

*looks at one picture.* The thing on Carol's head can be used as an eyeglass holder? Or is that another one, since it's on the other side of her head?
I wonder if it's different or the artist just drew it on the opposite side... XD;

*blink* Do I see someone using Dragon's Sacred Brigandine?
Looks like Hell? :3

Woah are those daggers cool. ♥___♥ *checks your merchanise post* Metal's weapons are twin daggers?
I stared at Moon and Metal's weapons, thinking they were both whips here until I stared at Metal's weapon some more. Twin daggers! \o/

Looks like they went with the first design for Leaf's bow. Looks kind of like a boomerang!

(But daaaamn, cleaning these weapons would be really difficult!)
They're so intricate!

Ice's weapon looks like a pain to clean too. XD

What exactly is Earth holding? Earth's weapon in the colored pic doesn't look much like a sword... XD

And Storm's still kicking. Hm. XDD
He is. XD

Oh, is that Ice in the bottom left corner?
...
Wait. This is the warm faction. Is that Cloud then? Huh.
Haha, my reaction too. Cloud looks pretty aloof!

Two people with twinned weapons in the cold faction!! Wait, not THREE!!
:DDDD (Is Earth also holding two weapons? Though how would he hold his shield like that...)

...WHAT. WHAT?? ladskfjadlk omg, *so curious!*
Grisia mentions in v2c4 that it's been rumored that in the 1st generation, the Hell Knight wasn't a real person but rather an inside identity the Sun Knight used for secret missions. I always thought that meant it was a secret identity used by Sun... but looking at these pictures... *flails* That looks like Judgment!!

[darkicedragon]

"It's a slime... its name is "Little God", though in Chinese, the character for "God" sounds the same as "What", so it was really named for "What the heck is that"
*dies laughing*

" Not enough of the story has been posted for us to know what exactly Little God is... but theories by the readers are that... it's the God of Light."
*DIES LAUGHING OH MY GOD OF LIGHT!!!* That - what - just *continues to laugh so hard*

"I almost thought he was Leaf."
Yeeeah, he does seem like it. X3

"Hm, so this "Earth" guy is Sylvester's best friend then?"
Eeeeeeeeeee!

"(Makes me wonder if elves were more common back then. They seem isolated now!)"
Probably. Hmmmm...

"Maybe some kind of device that lets her... judge people? XD;"
XDDDD

"I know right? XDDDD I am very amused."
And it's after I commented that I realised, 'Oh, duh, of course Storm and Earth are like this - they're the reason why the 38th generation have to act the way that they do *major facepalm*' Which makes me squee so much more. And I'm amused by the fact that, if I'd read these characters first, I wouldn't have enjoyed them as much but since I'm comparing them against the 38th generation, they're awesome!

"Looks like Hell? :3"

"I stared at Moon and Metal's weapons, thinking they were both whips here until I stared at Metal's weapon some more. Twin daggers! \o/"
Twin daggers CONNECTED TOGETHER!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

"What exactly is Earth holding? Earth's weapon in the colored pic doesn't look much like a sword... XD"
I knoooooow~ *laughs* A staff? Or maybe a polearm?

":DDDD (Is Earth also holding two weapons? Though how would he hold his shield like that...)"
XDDD I don't think he'd be able to use them that well together...

". I always thought that meant it was a secret identity used by Sun... but looking at these pictures... *flails* That looks like Judgment!!"
LAKJSDFLKASJD OMGGGGGGGG~!! *WANTS TO READ THIS SO BADLY* *wants to read more LSK, but dammit, no tiiiime D: D:*

[lucathia]

I guess this means even LSK (or at least the prequel) has some sort of mascot like character. XD; Little God! \o/ It's a golden slime! XD;

*DIES LAUGHING OH MY GOD OF LIGHT!!!* That - what - just *continues to laugh so hard*
I was laughing a whole lot and thinking, omg, calling Meatbun the God of Light isn't that far off... XDD;;

Which makes me squee so much more. And I'm amused by the fact that, if I'd read these characters first, I wouldn't have enjoyed them as much but since I'm comparing them against the 38th generation, they're awesome!
Exactly! If the story had started with the 1st generation, it wouldn't have been as interesting, but now it's like having more of an insider story. It amuses me so much which of the legends are true, which of them got exaggerated, etc! And it's so fascinating to see how they got into their roles (because right now, there hasn't been any mention of "Twelve Holy Knights" yet, but the name of the 2nd volume is "The Number is Twelve"). I hope Yu Wo expands on the 1st generation after she finishes LSK. XD;

Twin daggers CONNECTED TOGETHER!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
:DDDD Metal seems like an assassin more than a knight. XD;

I knoooooow~ *laughs* A staff? Or maybe a polearm?
Maybe a polearm. XD;

LAKJSDFLKASJD OMGGGGGGGG~!! *WANTS TO READ THIS SO BADLY* *wants to read more LSK, but dammit, no tiiiime D: D:*
!!! I hope you'll get to read more of LSK sometime. *____*

god I looooove those weapons! I want them,(specially since I wont have to clean them) they look soooo cool.

lol, earth really was a honest person, and storm a true womaniser; so different...

seems the first sun knight didn't only have eyes for the god of light... perhaps I'm wrong, (since I cant read a word in chinese) but he sure does seems to have eyes for judgement, and she seems to be quite fed up with him

lol, I nearly mistook earth for leaf; though, being an elf leaf (guess that explains why he's such a good guy)

blaze is soo easy to recognize...

[lucathia]

They're really cool, aren't they? :) So intricate!

Haha, it's so funny that Earth is so honest and Storm is such a womanizer... so different from the 38th generation!

It does seem like the first Sun Knight might like Judgment, but then, they could also just be very good friends. :3 (At least he thinks so, though she might not think so)

I almost did the same. XD; Earth looks so innocent!

Blaze is so... red. XD; And his hair looks like flames.

[kuwaneko.livejournal.com]

hi, umh...
I was making an otaku friend of mine fangirl over female warrior images (she's fangirling specially hard on Silvie, Carol, Earth, Cloud, Leaf and Ice),
and decided to show her this older ones (and the weapon designs- but mostly the character designs)
but... I think the page broke... the links aren't working any longer...

so she specifically asked me 'to notify you that the links aren't working'
(and on my side, I'm missing the weapon designs grately)

d'you know some other place where to find the pics?

[lucathia]

I checked these links and the pictures work for me. Maybe try looking at them again now?

[(Anonymous)]

I think I've heard 女武 translated as Woman Warrior somewhere.

[lucathia]

Good to know, thanks!

Hell looks like Judgment (and both use two blades), so it seems like the 1st generation Hell is probably Judgment. Wait, I thought the rumors/legend was that Hell was Sun... XD;;

I don't think Hell is Judgement because in your previous header Hell is taller than her.
Also on one of the links that you provided specifically this page:
http://album.blog.yam.com/show.php?a=ku5050&f=7757853&i=15449617&p=9
even though I don't understand Chinese, just basing on the pictures we can see that Hell is standing idly by while wordlessly looking at Silvie chasing Carol.

[lucathia]

Yeah, that picture shows Silvie chasing Carol with Hell watching wordlessly. So, I guess he is a separate person.
