So…. why am i doing this? Like for fuck's sake this is stupid! Welp, no turning back now. Let's begin.

So for starters, I'm a huge fan of Junguru Taitei/Jungle Emperor Leo or better known as Kimba the White Lion. I've seen just about every version of the series from the first volume of the manga, all the way to to the 2009 special, Courage Can Change the Future. But my favorite version of the story is the 1997 feature film, and it is definitely the most well known version of the story next to the original 60s anime and it's sequel. The 97 version is also the most accurate to the manga. A lot of people consider these to be the definitive versions of these characters, and I kinda agree.

So I will be using the 1997 version of Jungle Emperor Leo.

The film later got what was seemingly a prequel in the form of Jungle Emperor Hon-o-ji, featuring the same character designs for Buzara and Coco specifically, also featuring Pagoola the elephant with the same broken tusk and Lune's "Rival" Bizo.

So we will treat this as if it is in the same canon as the film, which it honestly doesn't hurt any continuity.

There was also a Jungle Emperor Leo Symphonic poem in 1991, that details Leo's origin by conveying emotion through music and sounds without a single bit of dialogue.

Now here's where things get a little tricky for me… This was made during the film's production and you'd think they would make it consistent with the film's art style right? NOPE! It actually uses the character designs from the 1989 anime series of Junguru Taitei. But character designs are the smallest thing to nitpick about when talking about consistency, like the Hon-o-Ji short, if we simply included this in the canon, it can work perfectly fine, since it doesn't cause any inconsistencies with the Hon-o-Ji short or the 97 film. It's also much closer to the original ton of the manga like the film. The 89 series felt like a more serious remake of the 60s series.

Now for when the Series takes place, I'm putting it in 1995 - 1997.

Now for what will this story be about, it will be set mainly after the end of the film, but starts long before the film, after Hon-o-Ji.

SPOILER ALERT!

And our main character will be Leo's Son, Lune. since Leo is dead by the end of the film, as well as his mate. The only family members left are Lune and his sister Lukio.

So that's enough for Jungle Emperor, now onto the other series… yeah, this is a crossover... (kill me… T_T)

I am also a fan of Soul Eater (person in the distance: NO GOD! NO GOD PLEASE NO! NO! NO! NOOOO!) The version of the series that i'm using is the anime adaptation from 2008.

It's my favorite version of the story so we're going with it.

Also for Soul Eater it will take place after the Main Series.

Then there is the questionably canon Soul Eater NOT, for this story we will treat it as canon and it's debatable retcon of Sid's death.

So who of the Soul Eater cast will be the main focus along side Lune? welp, since this will be a romance of sorts…

Blair... Yep. I know, i want to die as well.

Now, why ship these 2? Honestly i know that i like both these characters and i think it'd be interesting for these 2 to interact.

There is the question of "why not ship Lune with Merry?"

They both exist in the same universe, are already friends, and one shows small hints of interest in the other. Now yes, that's a good question. But my answer is "if you love something, you can let it go." or something like that… but i will actually put ideas of this into the fanfic. But I will not support it entirely since i want to keep the number of human x animal romances at a minimum on my rezime.

So how will this story work? Well, i'm making it as if they were always in the same universe.

MORE SPOILERS FOR JUNGLE EMPEROR INBOUND!

So the biggest problem with making this "meeting" possible is that Death City is set in Nevada, USA… and the Bajalu Jungle is most likely set in Africa… fuck. So the question is, do i have Death City move to much closer to Bajalu, like setting it in the Sahara desert? For the sake of staying true to the source material, i will keep Death City in Nevada. So how will Lune get to Nevada? He will go through the Indian ocean and the North Pacific ocean. He will have adventures in Australia, and go through every island of Hawaii and he would also have to go through California… again. I say again because in the film, Lune goes to civilization and the place he ends up in is obviously America. California is also close to Africa in terms of distance, cause it took Lune seemingly the number of days it took Leo, Mustache and Lemonade to reach the top of Mt. Moon and for Mustache to make it down. So why, you ask? Because this would be in character for him in my eyes, he wants to travel the world to learn more about it.

So where will Soul Eater come into this? This first chapter takes place during the last few episodes of the Soul Eater anime. Soul Eater will also get a little bit more focus in the second chapter, but after that i'm just gonna say this now; there's gonna be a handful of "filler" until we see Soul Eater again. So be warned.

So now that we've gotten that out of the way, Let's begin!
