At the point, you’re reading this the first issue of Challenge Chronicles hasn’t a been release but the first 10 issues are all ready to go. So I think it’s fair to say is the time from the start advertising this work and get it ready to set out into the world. So what better place to start than from the beginning.
Like most boys, I was infatuated with superheroes more specifically superheroes with a strong Japanese connection. Like many boys who grew up in the 90s, I was usually assessed with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and anything to do with ninjas a Japanese culture for that matter. And like the most young man I effectively dreamed that to him some kind of Japanese superhero even though I was getting a white boy (one-quarter first nation) from northern Canada who so happened to be on the autistic spectrum.
After high school, I did a young college in a program called Transitional Vocational. (“Trans-Voc.” for short.) The program was essential to teach people like me life skills. So after a year of doing Trans-Voc, I spent the next three years looking for a job but during those years I spent quite a large amount of time making YouTube videos. And unfortunately for me I was one of those people who kept trying new things every couple of months I get it quite a number of different cosplay videos doing this for years but it was on my second year when all this started.
2010 or was 2011 all I remember I was 21 at the time. I believe this happened. Shortly after I watched and if you Samurai Sentai Shinenger. Now I believe this happened before I it was announced that Saban be purchased the rights to their flagship series “power Ranger”. The world that Shinenger created just intrigued me. The idea that you can have samurai in a modern setting just fascinating but the thing that grabbed me the most was the character Juzo Fuwa or in his PR account point Decker.
The whole concept of wandering a ronin was something new to me. Now, of course, I loved Pokémon in Star Trek but then I thought would they be cool to combine those elements was a Western-style of superhero. This menu Japanese heroes are would be what we would consider here the west to be ”anti-heroes” since they killed.
So I had the idea to create my own wondering a ronin “superhero” does not kill set in the Feudal Japanese setting. But that then all the time was already done by Rurouni Kenshin. I get to that next time. So in sheer and other laziness I Google search the Japanese words that mean “superhero”and I came up with Chō Yūsha. Boy did I had no idea what I was doing.
That’s something I should point out. The inspiration behind this but story loosely came from a Wayne and Shuster skit. How much of the story was inspired by it honestly I have no idea. At the point when the story I think I have seen it in like a decade when I last Wayne and Shuster.
Here’s what his original profile.
Chō Yūsha (real name unknown): A Mysterious Wandering ronin who randomly save people and into huge battles but he doesn't kill. He doesn't seem to care about who he saves or fights as long as they don't die. He doesn't live by the warrior code because he believes killing is a signs of weakness. He I doesn't consider himself any different from anyone else but everyone consider him to be very different. He is driven purely by instinct to save people.
Choo character traits: Superhero, mysterious, fierce, cold-hearted, calm, fearless, helpful, determined, heroic, intelligent, harsh, tolerant, suspicious, serious, honest, unknowing good, kind of psychopathic, motivated by instincts, supernatural, untrustworthy
And as I am reading this after so many years Boy, he hasn’t changed much. Granted, he has done in much more of a personality since then, but a lot of the general idea of the concept of the counter still remain the same it just now that he has a personality.
So what grievance you have I decided to throw in this brand-new character in his first epic adventure?...But here’s where things get a little bit we. This first adventure was inspired by a Wayne and Shuster episode. Where they did take on William Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet. Where should start playing this outside calendar to encourage the Romeo of the story in pursuit of Juliet.
So my initial idea was to have Cho mentor/befriend a Romeo character who I called “Satoshi Uzumaki”to pursuit his Juliet who I called Kotoha Kakashi who trains can be best described as the classic tsundere. To help them settle the family dispute in the region of Ryunosuke. But as a plot just at the end of the story it was going to be revealed natural is a year or two younger than our Romeo and Juliet.
So before I copy & place this original scrap this a couple things you should know. What is I was only planned this to be a short film. I decided to start the story in the second act and three, I originally misspelled the word “tie up” and spelled it as “tids ups”. I am autistic no one says I can spell. Now enjoy.
So here’s my result summary for that story.
Summary:
This story is kind of a samurai take on William Shakespeare classic tail Romeo and Juliet. This story would of happen like Shakespeare classic tail if it wasn't for the Ronin Choo interference.
The focus first half of the film is more on the romance between Satoshi and Katoha. Choo will be investigating doing these parts.
Choo spent the first half of the film investigating situation between the two clans and tiring to find the best way to stop the war. His investigation tactics is very typical superhero. Such as hanging bad guys from roof tops. However we will only see glimpses of him doing any detective work. Choo dose find out how the war started. When he discover the romance between Satoshi and Katoha is true and they are at marrying age. He know they were the key to saving the region of Ryunosuke.
Do to Choo investigation and constant interference of the two clans affairs. The Usumaki clan decide for go after the interfering ronin. Satoshi overhears his father orders and decide for go after Choo on his own but little dose he know that he walking in to Choo trap.
ACT 2:
This take place at the bringing of the second half of the film.
Night time deep in the woods Satoshi have finally caught with Choo after Choo defeated a gang of thugs and save a little girl.

Satoshi: haaa It's satoshi and can we get back the the story.
Choo: Then she ask me to come to do Ryunosuke to stop the war.
Choo: I told her I will come here some day to stop the war but I didn't know when.
Choo: Then I lift and forgot all about the the problems in Ryunosuke.
Satoshi: YOU FORGOT about the problems here! bu bu but how can you forgot something like this.
Choo: Hay I get ask to help and save people all the time.
Satoshi: But you must of heard about the situation in Ryunosuke over you travel?

Choo: It's called sarcasm but I did forget about being ask.
Satoshi: Will that's I understant sense you save people all the time.
Choo: So you have heard of me.
Satoshi: Only myths and legends.
Satoshi: They all say you don't kill and you go around helping people.
Choo: What else do they say.
Satoshi: Will they say you have supernatural powers and you go around looking for no rewards.
Satoshi: But they also say you can't be trusted.
Choo: Ohm Will you better make sure you don't kill anybody.
Satoshi: Are you threating me.
Choo: YEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Satoshi: So you really do have no honor
Choo: I live my life saving and protect live without takeing lives.
Choo: So why do I need honor?
Satoshi: I don't know. Because your a warrior.
Choo: There's the thing. I'm not a warrior.
Choo: I don't even know what I am. I save people purely out of instincts and I don't take lives because it's far to easy for someone like me to do. Killing is wrong regardless if there your enemy or not.
Choo: I believe killing is a signs of weakness.
Satoshi: Was there ever a time where you fought a enemy who deserves to die
Choo: Yes
Flashback to a battle from Choo past.
Choo: I told him. "The only hope you got left is that I Won't Kill YOUUUU!!!!"
Satoshi looks at Choo with amazement. This cold and honorless man who is the most purest individual that he ever met.
Satoshi: I know monks who not ever half as pure as you.
Choo: I'm not pure.
Satoshi: But you never kill.
Choo: Never kill people. That doesn't mean I don't kill plants and animals for food.
Satoshi: Your still the purest individual that I've ever met
Choo: Don't you have wedding to go to?
Satoshi: A WEDDING!?
Choo: We should get going.
Satoshi: Ok.. yeet uhop... Maybe you should untid ME!
Choo: Oh I forgot
Satoshi: Uhaaa It's understandable sense you don't kill and you need to do something with the bad guys.
Choo help Satoshi get.
Choo: Come on heroboy. We can talk more on the walk there.
Satoshi: I'm no hero. Your the hero
Choo is running ahead.
Choo: Not on this adventures and I got a feeling your future wife is doing some heroics of her own.
Satoshi: Slow down. I've never got you full name.
Choo: My real name is not important. But I am Chō Yūsha (超 勇者)
Satoshi: Choo Yuusha that means... Wait a minute HE"S A SUPERHERO!
Well I certainly hope you enjoyed reading that. Three that up it was my first time. But there’s a number of things that we can take away from the story. The biggest thing I like to point out is the name Satoshi. Satoshi was named after “Satoshi Tajiri” the creator of Pokémon and unknown to me at the time also on the autistic spectrum.
So the name Satoshi would reused and eventually be shortened in to Sato and for his eventual surname. In my infinite wisdom I said to give them the same last name as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Hamato. So Satoshi “Sato” Hamato would be the real name of Cho Yusha.
In believe you me things are getting crazier from here.
