[To the staff: if this better fits under "Other", please move it as you see fit! Dilbert advised to put it under this thread or Other]
Hello there, Senran International! I already mentioned it in my introductory thread, but I do a YouTube series called Character Development, where I take a video game character and discuss various aspects about them (name, design, what they do in the story, etc.) and how they were influenced by mythology, science, etc. {For those who want to see the episode I did on Yumi...} I did an episode on Yumi back in April, but I'm far from done with the Senran Kagura cast, which is why I wanted to ask who all you'd think would make for a good episode. I've had suggestions for Homura, Yomi, and Hikage in the past, but do you think there are others I could analyze, and if so, would you like to share anything you already know? I'll give a shout-out at the end of the episode if you helped!

As far as I know, her costume, interest in ice skating, and her ninja arts are references to Swan Lake. Her name is a reference to Ryona, a situation in which one is beaten or tortured, reflecting his masochistic behaviour. This may also serve as the reason to why her ninja animal is the pig. Basic information, but meh.

Do Katsuragi. I think she will make a good episode.

I also vote for Katsuragi. That would be awesome.

This is just some stuff I found about Katsuragi. She was the first character to be designed by Yaegashi as he likes blonde hair. He also decided that she would utilize kicks into her fighting style, hence her sturdy boots. Originally, she was meant to be the main character but was replaced with Asuka due to similarities with a protagonist from Ikki Tousen, Hakufu Sonsaku.
Her Ninja Arts revolve around the concept of wind as the 5 members of Team Hanzou are all based on an element. (Asuka-Earth. Ikaruga-Fire, Katsuragi-Wind, Yagyuu-Ice, Hibari-Lightning)

How about Shiki ? She is more than meets the eye.A character that breaks stereotypes.
Also I agree on Hikage.Her backstory and how she came to be what she is today would be quite interesting to discuss !!!!

So I ran a quick interest poll on Twitter, since Ryona, Yagyu, and Homura got the most requests, and Homura pretty much dominated the vote.  I have some research notes on Homura already, but does anyone know of any details in the official art books worth mentioning? |

The episode on Homura is now done!
I'll still be taking ideas through this thread, though, as I know I'm far from being finished with Senran Kagura episodes. Give me a few episodes' break, and I'll be happy to take your suggestions again!

I was wondering if you would be interested on collaborating with me to do a character. I do a show called Saviors of the Tale, where I analyze good characters and explain why I find them so interesting. I already plan on doing something on Homura down the line, but I'm definitely up for doing others; Miyabi holds my interest the most after Homura.
Here's an example of my work:

Putting in another request for Shiki. A lot more depth to her than initially seems.
