Total Drama: Ultimate World
Who's Back For More?
Welcome back to probably the 20th story that probably could have went all of the way, but got stuck in the middle of fretting over some contestants that helped you when your car stole your bank account or whatever the fuck just happened.
It's just me here revealing what you can expect from the Ultimate Islands' cast and it will be complete with the heroes, the villains and whatever I could scrounge up from the early boots.
Don't expect any surprises.
#1: Dante (Devil May Cry) - The Jokey Demon Hunter
"Oh great, this party's almost perfect! Just had to have the weird uncle."
Dante's won a season and like Priya, Owen, Alejandro and Cameron before him, he's forced to hop on this show once again and that's not actually a bad thing for the bing bong wahoo pizza man, thanks to his epic social life.
Which is borderline nonexistent, considering his general occupation, the complicated family life, demons always popping up and his bloodline, so this is his second best thing.
#2: Bayonetta (Bayonetta) - The Umbra Witch
"Hey, Dante, maybe we're supposed to be opposites because you're quite the annoying fellow."
Bayonetta barely made top 10 in Ultimate Islands, but that season has 128 contestants, so it basically converts into a great game last season and this time, she got a new look.
And some stupid powers that could only compete with Dante, which has some non-Death Battle history behind it, but I will elaborate on that in a special chapter. Pit's simpler, though, 'cause they're both in Smash.
#3: Pit (Kid Icarus) - The Spunky Angel
"Miko's gonna need all of the help she can get and luckily, I came in locked and loaded!"
Pit was a runner-up and like Bowie, Lightning, Heather, Duncan and Gwen before him, he's back for more willingly and packing so much heat that the TSA would actually block him.
Luckily, he's an all around nice fellow and a powerful player in his own right, but that doesn't exactly mean he will make smart moves game wise, even if Miko and him are gamer friends.
#4: Miko Kubota (Glitch Techs) - The Gamer Girl
"Gimme a mushroom because this place got boring fast."
Speaking of Miko, she's here, she's not queer and she's got the gear!
Miko Kubota had a little complication involving the use of the Hinobi tech, probably because she is not publically allowed to do that. Actually it was due to Pit's friendship, but oh well, that could be figured.
Whatever's going her way, she's rockin' with it!
#5: Rock (Ridonculous Race) - The Motivated Rocker
"Ding ding ding! That's how a team leader should talk."
The better half of the rockers and the weaker half of the young adult couple, Rock's got a guitar, the ability to spit out ontomopeias like its nothing and some general strategies.
Just because you've been away from the Ridonculous Race (in-universe All-Stars nonwithstanding) doesn't mean you don't come up with new tricks, plus Spud's cheering him on at home.
#6: Clover Ewing (Totally Spies) - The Malibu Fashionista
"Please tell me that there's a shopping prize in every country, ohmygod!"
The stronger half of the young adult couple, Clover's like Lindsay with slightly better fashion and fighting skills that would wreck the game if she wasn't still a dumb blonde.
A dumb blonde who fights evil people like its no problem, but still she is one.
#7: Pinstripe Potoroo (Crash Bandicoot) - The Marsupial Gangster
"How the hell did I become peace treaty weasel? I'm gonna kick all of their asses!"
He's pretty much known as Coachman's number three lackey, even if he desperately wants to shake that reputation off with his own kind of game.
This technically counts as a redemption arc, but it's more of arc of indepdence and making his own game, even if it means he is still a douchebag inside of this eason for a decent while.
#8: Mai Shiranui (Fatal Fury) - The Tempermental Ninja
"Not going to lie, I was expecting more stares."
Street Fighter 6 and Fatal Fury shot her up into the spotlight, but Chris would argue that she's got the potential to be a good looking strategy powerhouse and though she is sexy...
...strategic, she will not. She's here to have a lot of fun with her friends, newfound allies and deal with whatever villains try to get between her, the money and new friendships.
#9: Iori Yagami (King of Fighters) - The Moody Bassist
"Get out of my way, this costume's embarrassing enough already."
Iori clearly does not want to be in the game, even moreso than your average animated teen in the start of their second Total Drama season and his fangs are not just for show.
As much as he's a fan of cats, a man with mercy and a hater of Orochi, he's going to have a hard time making it to the merge and fortunately for him, he would actually like it like that.
#10: Sandy Cheeks (SpongeBob Squarepants) - The Genius Squirrel
"I'm stayin' the whole game, this time around."
She made all of the way to top 8 and even if she had her returning spot in Ultimate Islands, she definitely wants to make her performance from last season lacklustre in comparison.
She's got the smarts, the strength and the mind to basically tear Dante, Bayonetta, Pit and the other OP players a new one.
#11: Lowain (Granblue Fantasy) - The Cooking Bro
"New season, new rizz. Can't believe that I kissed a 17 year old, I'm gonna cancel myself, man!"
After the Yumeko situation, he isn't exactly coming in on great terms despite a lot of people actually loving his vibe, the cut of his jib...or maybe he just doesn't want to deal with the "Scott Pilgrim" type dealio.
So he's trying to shake off the more questionable vibes off him by going on this show and being his somewhat strategic self, definitely without Yumeko.
#12: Yumeko Jabami (Kakegurui) - The Gambling Gal
"That's why I'm all in on my driving license. It allows me to get to Vegas!"
On the other hand, Yumeko actually doesn't want to be on the strategic side on the game, just someone that's enjoying their extended world tour with a few casino chips and playing cards packed inside her pack.
Doesn't mean that she won't mess with whoever wants her to be eliminated, but it means that she's going to enjoy the sights.
#13: Riley Freeman (The Boondocks) - The Wannabe Gangster
"Damn, you ain't got no game, anyone coulda told you that!"
Damn Chris, you're a bitch-ASS nigga if you're not want the most controversial person besides the four or few controversial people to come back and stir some stuff up, albeit the censors are more working around him rather working with him.
He will put caps in asses, he will throw hands and he might get eliminated early, but that's okay really.
#14: Doreen Green (Marvel) - The Squirrel Girl
"Huh, I got the booty upgrade, look at that!"
She made to 5th place, has a new game under her belt along with a lot of things tied together with that place and she's one hell of a quirky character to have in a season like this one.
Not to mention, how powerful the squirrels are in the right place, but a lot of the places that the squirrels will travel to are not the right place (for lack of a better explaination.), so she's only got her great personality on her side.
Marvel Rivals-
#15: The Coachman (Pinocchio) - The Shady Donkey Trader
"Well, teammates, I have a special surprise for you this morning!"
Yeah, his old strategy backfired...at least five times, but it's really only because he forced himself into an alliance that belied his own destruction with Yumeko, Azula and Lowain being the instruments of his downfall.
So, he's going to be the villainous team leader that steers his team to victory, legality nonwithstanding, considering his very good relationship with the law.
#16: Yuri Sakazaki (Art of Fighting) - The Spunky Karate Girl
"What is with you? You're shaking like a leaf in a tornado over bricks dropping!"
Yuri made it to Episode 24 and she is definitely not the last person to almost make it to the final merge, as the two examples greatly showed above her and that means she's going to go meaner and leaner this time arund.
Not when it comes to her friends, but only to those she opposes like a true hater would.
#17: Giovanni Potage (Ephihet Erased) - The Villain Wannabe
"Alas, the real villain has arrived through some unfriendly plants."
Despite everything about him, he's very unqualified to be a villain. Helping friends, being a good guy and having some epic soup powers would definitely work with his villain persona.
Which definitely helps since Pit, Miko and Papyrus are back for one more go with the least-villainous villain who still lives in his mom's house.
#18: Robyn Goodfellowe (Wolfwalkers) - The Wolfwalker
"We're a group that embraces the wild and the wolf!"
Robyn wasn't quite properly represented in this game, considering that I haven't watched her movie in full and now that I have cried my eyes out, she's gonna be part of the small pool of nice people in a sea of mean.
Or just aware of her game, 'cause she was a hunter and turned into a werewolf of sorts, so she should be okay.
#19: Papyrus (Undertale) - The Childish Skeleton
"HARK! THAT IS A VERY CUTE DOG!"
He is a very wholesome skeleton, eager to explore the overworld that he was so long deprived of and now it's expanded to the multiverse, though he will not be dissapointed with the locales that he'll go to.
Plus Sans was actually meant to come in, but Chris prefers a guy that both would get far and a weirdly unique personality that could be considered autistic in some realms.
(Also he heard that Undyne's going to be in Winter Warriors and he doesn't want to disappoint her.)
#20: Darkness (KonoSuba) - The Masochistic Crusader
"Let me get out and make me a target for the pain!"
Lalatina Ford Dustiness is a name that probably invokes her home of richiness and nobility, so she's not using that because she is quite the opposite actually being a masochist of the "BDSM" kind and a not very competent crusader.
She cannot hit things, but taking pain is all you need to get very far into the game and it does helps that she's actually a good person outside of her borderline pervert nature.
#21: Sokka (Avatar: The Last Airbender) - The Water Warrior
"Remember, Water Tribe guys do it all of the time!"
Getting 5th on Ultimate Islands does come with some baggage, mostly the forced comeback onto the next returing season and he would actually appreciate that rather than having the hard job of rehabilitating Azula.
Plus there's Lowain, so expect some dude shenanigans since they will definitely be on the same team.
#22: Tomo Takino (Azumanga Daioh) - The Hyperactive Gal
"Lemme shoot-a the gun-ah. That's what you sound like!"
Booted in Episode 4, you'd think she would be a boring personality or just a pure joke character, which is not necessarily too far from the truth.
But she is very athletic, chaotic and very much doing English better than anyone thanks to Chris putting some kind of universal English addition pill, so expect her to do a lot of crazy things and to also go far, even as a pawn in some alliance.
#23: Mr. Smee (Peter Pan) - The Unintelligent Pirate
"I know how to hold this phone dinky."
He's my funny guy pick and plus, he's a villain that is only one by accosiation. He is the type of pirate that is very kindly despite being a guy that would plummage any ship, steal treasure and do whatever else a pirate does.
Except crimes that would send you to jail, because that isn't very nice (or maybe not, I haven't really used his potential yet.)
#24: Tifa Lockhart (Final Fantasy, Guest #2) - The Punchy Girl
"I'd rather team up with Sephiroth than the man who does terrible things for our team. Mostly because he would be an easy boot."
The one that was both suspicious of Coachman and also a team captain at the four-team stage of the game, but this time, she isn't willing to hold grudges or anything else.
Just bare-handed combat, the willingness to be the team captain and dealing with all of the characters that she didn't get to see before getting turned into a donut in some other universe, as Sephiroth has no match with the social game of a crappy reality show.
#25: Tohru Oikawa (Haikyuu) - The Volleyball Captain
"Well, time to embarrass myself on television!"
Kageyama, Hinata and Tsukishima are going on their own arcs in Across The Multiverse, especially the guy that managed to get himself a girlfriend and his temperament to calm down.
So, he's trying to do that here if only because Chris hand-picked him to be one of the 30 or so unwilling additions to the line-up.
#26: Catalina Alves (Grand Theft Auto) - The Immigrant Gangster
"Motherfucker, you can do anything with a gun. Pendejos."
Damn, Total Drama Randomness is dead.
Anyways, she's about to make it a little bit further with much more knowledge and even if she's finally slowly racking up racks in whatever stupid criminal business she's doing now, she wants to make everyone that voted for her pay.
Which is a lot of people, but whatever.
#27: Falco Lombardi (Star Fox, UnchartedCoast2) - The Cocky Ace Pilot
"Please, this team needs me more than it needs that loser!"
Thanks to a Yu-Gi-Oh loving guy, this bird with an attitude's back for one more showing and this time, thanks to getting a good look at the rest of the game, he's more than prepared to take down any evil guy willing to push the team in the wrong direction.
Or get caught in an alliance that he willing joined for the advantage, but either way, he's going to reap all of the chicken.
#28: Julie Powers (Scott Pilgrim, me, A NEWCOMER?!) - The Bitchy Party Organizer
"Even on this show, I still cannot [fkg] swear? This is some actual [bs]!"
There is someone who's quite familiar with him ready to make Scott Pilgrim's run a little worthless and it's not really that hard to do just so as long as she doesn't get eliminated.
Which will be a problem with her general assholiness and reluctance to actually embarrass herself, so expect some stuff to happen with her.
#29: Legoshi (Beastars, KEN34) - The Mild-Mannered Wolf
"Hey, I know that I might have bitten off a leg, but I'm still a decent guy."
Legoshi's had a rough year considering what he went through and what his current situation is and the wolf understands that more than the rest of his team probably will.
But at the same time, he is not a bad man, 'cause when the chips are down, the wolf comes out to defend his friends, his fellow students and whoever's trying to cause trouble in his team.
#30: Julie Crawford (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, EternalWriter2, ANOTHER NEWBIE) - The Slasher Survivor
"You have no idea how grateful I am to be in this freakshow!"
Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of the classic slasher movie and I am pretty squeamish about blood, but that doesn't mean the other Julie can't be the only one in this game.
She's survived one massacre, what's a reality show gonna do to her other than show her vulnerabilities and her strengths in a setting that doesn't involve leather faces or chainsaws.
A lot, actually.
#31: Sonic (Sonic Boom, me, ANOTHER ONE) - The Sassy Speedster
"Slam, I have to say that, because the door has ripped themselves off."
I like Sonic Boom and rewatching a compilation of him definitely helped rekindled my love for this version of the blue blur. Plus he has cannonically watched reality shows, so make of that what you will.
Probably going to be chaotic.
#32: Chantel DuBois (Madagascar, TheSupeMan, ANOTHER ONE) - The Implacable Animal Hunter
"My team is half connes and half people zat would like ze lion. Not zat's much of a problem."
Chantel's dedicated to the trophy hunting grind, she went from France to someplace in Europe to New York all of ze way to the zoo that houses Gloria and she didn't take getting kicked by animals that well.
So, she will probably trip when she sees ze furry characters and then try to go on a tear with her own kind of game, willing to team up with anyone that will carry her to her goal of getting out of jail.
Wait a minute-
The 16 extra newcomers will be determined in due time, because to be fair, there's a lot of requests swarming and heck, some of them already made their way here.
Competition will not be easy and the likelihood of 48 turning into 51 or a veteran cut is, admittedly, pretty high considering what's with the impressive amount of great requests that you guys have been sending me.
Even if at least one of you's going to be waiting for this chapter to be uploaded to drop their epic list of new guys.
Julie and Sonic were higher priority than the two that almost made it into the season and I will list eight people that almost made it into the season.
#HM: Snufkin (Moomin Valley) - The Nature Vagabond
He was almost in before the more interesting personalities showed up and crowded out some of the veterans, which is even weirder because he is himself pretty interesting.
He respects nature more than he respects the law is all I'm saying.
#HM: Tails (Sonic The Hedgehog) - The Kid Inventor
Quite literally, one of my favourite characters in fiction for ages, but you know, he's surprisingly redundant when Sandy is around and plus he's a guy, there is a whole abundance of them in Ultimate Islands.
Plus he did okay in Endless, despite being a pre-merge boot.
#HM: Kipo Oak (Kipo and The Age of Wonderbeasts) - The Science Gal
Nice girl, nicer powers, probably could be involved in a plot about how revenge is bad, mkay?
But you know, there's actually a few better characters to do it if you've actually read Ult Islands
#HM: Captain Amelia (Treasure Planet) - The Tenured Captain
Tifa literally slipped in due to a guest requesting her and also, I think that Total Drama Frenzy will potentially be updating next blue moon or Hotel Rockies could be back eventually
#HM: Charlotte La Bouff (Princess and The Frog) - The Spoiled Sweet Girl
She's gonna wack Coachman, probably last a decent while, somehow get backstabbed by "Jesse Pinkman hitting that meth" and steal Leshawna's song somehow.
#HM: Doom Slayer (DOOM) - The Unstoppable Shooter
He's a silent badass, he shoots and unless Isabelle can show up and put in some purpose in him without bringing the firepower to probably be an early elimination.
Like he's a silent scary massive muscle bound guy with a massive gun, a knife and demon-tearing hands, actually...hold that thought.
#HM: Isabelle (Animal Crossing) - The Duitful Deputy Mayor
She did good in Infinite 2 and probably will end up in another season and unless she's with Doom Slayer/Doom Guy, it won't be the strongest appearance for her...even if Infinite 2 isn't the stiffest competition out there.
TO BE CONTINUED IN THE NEW CHALLENGERS, THE SUBMISSIONS AND THE CHOICES THAT YOU GUYS PUT TO THE TABLE and for anyone that has already submitted their choices, please do not put up another list.
Save some space for the people that haven't had the chance to submit.
