Sho (EntityTopic, 24)
From Compile Worlds
Sho is a secondary character in Puyo Wars and a major protagonist in Compile Worlds. He aids Daichi and Marin in defeating the evil Angol Mois, and debuted in Episode 33 to stop Angol's revived plans in Primp as well. His DNA was used by Ekoro to create an impostor that would go on to start the events of the Ekoro Arc.
Biography
Sho's first life was that of a blue puyo. Unlike Marin though, his life as a puyo and cause of death are unknown, and were not explored in Puyo Wars. He reincarnated as a human in the Puyo Wars World, where he met Marin and constructed a Protector to ride, shaped like a duck, interestingly enough. Later on, he and Marin confront Daichi to test his might, and he states that Daichi would never equal Angol. Sho left, and didn't appear again until Daichi lost control of his synthetic form and rampaged about, prompting Sho to take action. After learning of Daichi and Angol's common origin and dragging the goddess Eldora into the mess, Sho helped Daichi defeat Angol, resulting in his banishment to the Abyss.
Translations suggest that Sho is a Tsundere, though this has yet to be confirmed. There are also numerous jokes(?) in the dialogue suggesting he could be in love with Daichi.
Etymology
Sho is a common given name in Japan. It means "To soar" or "Flying". This puns with Daichi and Marin's names, who relate to the land and sea respectively. (Sure is Kingdom Hearts in here)
Quotes
- We don't have to answer that question. — Puyo Wars
- Faker? I think /you're/ the fake gay tsundere around here. I mean... Hey! I'm not a gay tsundere! What are you making me say? — Episode 39
- Yeah, you're gonna get it! (more?) — Episode 40
- Yeah, like YOU even participated in that battle! — Episode 40
Trivia
- Were it not for Chao playing Sho grossly out of character, Sho would have been the first Puyo Wars character to appear in the RP, predating Angol's appearance by three episodes.
- Considering there was nearly 3 months between those two episodes and a lot of translation, that would have actually been rather impressive.
- Despite Compile Worlds 2 being heavily Puyo Wars-centric, neither Sho nor Marin have appeared in the new season yet.
- Ironically, Alpha, his clone, has. Isn't it sad, Sho?
- An epic word cluster suggests that Sho will suddenly make another clone.
- The Book of DINNER even goes so far as to claim he'll make robots too, but such claims must be taken into careful consideration.
- Alternately, the sentence could be read as "Sho suddenly makes another portal", but Sho hasn't even made a portal once.
- Then again, technically Sho never made clones either.
- Sho is the only Puyo Wars character to have a clone modeled after him.
- This is similar to Mikki, who is the only character exclusive to Compile Worlds to receive a clone.
