Author's Commentary #86:

Time to talk about Chapter 86: New Year's eve 2016.
It's New Year's eve in the story, meaning everyone is celebrating. As such, nearly all the major characters make an appearance. Even Makihara gets an appearance, and since he's in a different time zone, he'll be stuck doing vending service for a good 12 hours more since he's on the clock for the whole day. Another fun tidbit in this chapter is Wakaha. In Wind Sniper 0, she's actually a teacher and ends up with a mohawk by the end of the story.

Though starting next chapter, the long-awaited remake-exclusive headmaster selection arc will begin. It will only go for two chapters before shifting back to slice of life stuff for 7 chapters, though some of those will be birthday chapters and two chapters in particular will be very important to the story. After that, the headmaster selection arc will resume and go on for quite a few chapters. I hope you're looking forward to them.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Author's Commentary #134:

Time to talk about Chapter 134: A drawn out battle.
As the name implies, this chapter features a draw. And a desperately needed draw. Pewler's honestly lucky he didn't implement Armageddon rules, otherwise he would have lost. However, all is still going according to plan, as despite him getting a bit flustered during the match, he has not lost his cool. One thing I'll mention is that Pewler's rating of 2948 is a reference to the fact that he's from Arizona which was the 48th state to join the union.

Things are dire for Carol though. Mimoko would have been in trouble too, but since she had Caïssa's blessing, the bullets didn't hurt her. As for why Pewler has a machine gun, it's his 2nd favorite go to weapon for taking people out. The only way to save Carol will be via a DESPER match, however, Pewler is on top of things so even if Mimoko uses the DESPER key, which she likely will, he might be able to still control some of the conditions for the wager.

One thing I will confirm is that it is impossible for someone to die during a DESPER match. Even if they are heavily injured, the DESPER will restore them to a state where they can at least play chess comfortably. However, if said person draws, or fails to make healing their injuries part of their prize for winning, they will die even if they don't lose.

Season 3 is quickly reaching it's climax. Next chapter will be the Mimoko vs Pewler match. While Mimoko is skilled, Pewler does have a higher rating due to being a WWCF executive board member. While the executive board itself didn't really play a large role in this season, I guarantee it will in future arcs of the story.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Oh no, they got caught. I'm really intrigued to see what will happen next. I feel Ekko will lead a rescue mission, but there's no telling what will happen to Ko and the MC before Ekko arrives.

[Game log #76]

Here's the game from chapter 133 featuring a Meadow Hay mistake. If you're savvy with the chess world, you might have heard that Grandmaster Brandon Jacobson infamously played this move and it's black counterpart against Grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky, won, and got banned for suspected cheating, even though he didn't cheat. Inspired, Magus Carlson ended up trying the move for all 11 games of Chess.com's Early Titled Tuesday on May 7th 2024. He ended up earning 8.5 out of 11 possible points. As a result, debate has stirred on the Meadow Hay's true potential, but it is definitely a difficult move to master, much like the Bongcloud.

Author's Commentary #85:

Time to talk about Chapter 85: Helga's declaration.
This chapter is modified from the Helga's restaurant chapter that was in the original. Funnily enough, that chapter took place after the New Year's eve chapter in the original, but here it takes place before. Another fun fact is that the original was uploaded on New Year's day.

The chapter also confirms that the next major arc will be the Tabemono Gakuin headmaster selection exam. This arc will actually span multiple months within the story, but the first part of it will happen right after the next chapter. It will only last for a few chapters before it's back to slice of life chapters, but then the arc will resume after those chapters. In the original, I never fully covered the headmaster exam, but here the arc will be presented in it's entirety. I hope you look forward to it.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Author's Commentary #133:

Time to talk about Chapter 133: Meadow Hay Massacre.
The Iori and Mick showdown has begun, and naturally, Iori's going for maximum disrespect. Though instead of the Bongcloud, she's going for a Meadow Hay Mistake and sacrificing her rook early on.

If you're savvy with the chess world, you might have heard that Grandmaster Brandon Jacobson infamously played this move and it's black counterpart against Grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky, won, and got banned for suspected cheating, even though he didn't cheat. Inspired, Magus Carlson ended up trying the move for all 11 games of Chess.com's Early Titled Tuesday on May 7th 2024. He ended up earning 8.5 out of 11 possible points. As a result, debate has stirred on the Meadow Hay's true potential, but it is definitely a difficult move to master, much like the Bongcloud.

I actually had a lot of trouble making this game, mainly because it took nearly a good half hour of resetting to get the bot to move to e5 so I could pull off the gambit. After that, I just used the assist tool and destroyed it in order to get s good game. Despite the turmoil though, this is definitely one of my favorite games as the ending of the game was poetic justice with Iori choosing not to mate Mick by promoting to a queen, but by promoting to a rook.

As for Mick's fate, it's easily one of the most brutal in the series thus far. He really lucked out when he decided to chase after Iori, though to be fair, he wasn't exactly a good person and would frequently use his DESPER on unsuspecting passengers. The only reason he didn't use it when the girls got in his cab the bight prior was because Horner had contacted him and ordered him to bring the girls to an area outside of town where he and the mob could attack them. One final thing I'll mention about Mick is that his rating of 1011 is referencing the fact that New York was the 11th state to join the union.

Speaking of Mimoko and Carol, Pewler figured out their plan and warped to the train station in Philadelphia. He figured it out after hearing from someone that the girls had left the hotel. He actually doesn't know Horner's dead yet as he's been incredibly busy with prep work for something big.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Thanks for checking this out. They most certainly have gone bananas. I actually had a few more ideas for the banana merch, but do to my draft barely reaching 1000 words, I didn't have enough content to split the story into chapters and decided not to include them and just kept the story short.

It's been a while, but I didn't forget about our cute tsundere, Nina. Or Johan for that matter. Funnily enough, we're only two months away from the one-year anniversary of this series. Perhaps I'll do something big for that.

Will you give this cute tsundere love?

Author's Commentary #132:

Time to talk about Chapter 132: Three-way interlude.

Essentially, the main point of this chapter was to feature a confrontation between Okisato and Pewler. However, Pewler quickly bailed leaving Okisato and the gang to be swept up into the Fairy league's game. However, the focus is now going to shift back to Iori, who's being confronted by the rogue cab driver.

ミック・レオパード (Mick Leopard) is how the cabby's name is spelled in katakana. His name is an obvious parody of Mick Jager.

His birthday is December 3rd. I chose this date at random, so there's no greater significance behind why this date is his birthday.

His favorite piece is the pawn, mainly because he likes forming pawn chains.

Since he is a Desperado, Iori could have used her DESPER key, but Mick activated the DESPER normally. This means that she doesn't need to use up a key on him, and could save it for later.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Author's Commentary #84:

Time to talk about Chapter 84: Christmas date.
Honestly, there isn't really much to talk about. This is just a nice short and wholesome Christmas date chapter featuring all the characters happily interacting with each other. My favorite part is probably the triplets singing. It's easily the cutest part of the chapter.

One thing worth noting is Rika's comment regarding the Christmas dinner. I won't elaborate, but it could perhaps be foreshadowing something that will happen later in the story.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Thanks for checking this out. Boone is indeed scummier than Bosco, and funnily enough, I actually referenced that story in this one. Maybe Bosco really is the one that put the monkey kingdom in debt.🤔

Thanks for checking this out. Jojo was about the only thing I could think of when I saw the prompt, though funnily enough, the story could have actually existed without the Jojo reference, but I just had to make the reference. 🍌 Though speaking of memes, there actually other meme references hidden in the story, but the Jojo reference is obviously gonna overshadow everything.

Thanks for checking this out. There are actually quite a few fun references sprinkled throughout the story, but the Jojo reference was actually one of the first ideas I came up with for it. Funnily enough, I actually planned for this to be split into chapters, but after realizing the word count was barely over 1000, I decided to just merge everything into one.

Author's Commentary #131:

Time to talk about Chapter 131: The Red Reaper of Prussia.
We're shifting back to the fairy league, though it will only be for a few chapters. However, the main focus is not on them, but on the new long-term antagonist, Red Reaper. He actually came to be mainly because I watched too much Youjo Senki. And yes, I had Jingo Jungle playing when I wrote this chapter and commentary. First off, let's talk about Charlie Beagle.

チャーリー・ビーグル (Charlie Beagle) is how his name is spelled in katakana. He's an obvious homage to Snoopy from Peanuts who infamously fights against the Red Baron.

His birthday is October 2nd which was the day Peanuts first launched.

He's never played chess, so he doesn't really have a favorite piece, but it would probably be the knight.

レッド・リーパー・フォン・リヒトホーフェン (Red Reaper von Richtofen) is how his name is spelled in katakana. Alternatively, he can also be referred to as
赤い死神 (Akai shinegami) which is the Japanese translation of Red Reaper.
(If I made any mistakes with the translations, feel free to correct me).

His birthday is May 2nd which he shares with the Red Baron himself, Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen. Obviously, Red Reaper is literally based off him, and might even be his ghost in this universe. His rating of 2780 is also a nice reference to the fact that the Red Baron shot down 80 planes during his career.

His favorite piece is the bishop, mainly because he believes they are the most fighter-plane-like piece on the board. Though the king is a close second since he views himself as king of the skies.

Red Reaper won't be playing a major role in Season 3, but will in Season 4. As for why he's showing up now, I mainly wanted to hype him up and have his intro take place before Season 3 ended. I even added him to the Desperado collage weeks before his debut, mainly because I want to hype him up. He's actually the head enforcer of the league and the member with the most kills. He always prefers to have the DESPER matches take place in the skies, but he also enjoys crushing people in ordinary matches as well. More will be revealed about him as the story progresses.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
