This idea is based on the premise that even though the Shadow Games took place 5,000 years ago that was really the first break out cycle after the true creation of the Shadow Realm.
The reason I want to include Ranma 1/2 is because as I was watching Enter the Shadow Realm episodes I noticed that on the tablet there was a pig glyph that reminded me of P-Chan and I thought it would be fun if when the Monsters were first being banished to the Shadow Realm it took fighters who would have been reincarnated at the time of the first Shadow games to help in the initial capture. There is also a glyph in the bottom right corner of a spear man on a horse with his back turned to the conflict between Pharaoh and the Wizard. It left me thinking that the guards might have turned their back on/abandoned the fighters involved in the shadow games. What if those guards were reincarnations of the original monster wranglers and progenitors of the Amazon nation before it became women only? 5,000 years ago after all and the Chinese Amazons only tout 3,000 years of history.
The reason for the Senshi is because I would like to use their time frame and the fact of Youma as basis for such variety in monsters being banished to the shadow realm. Possibly even having Youma being the first attempt at freeing spirits from the Shadows through use of human hosts. Women of course being naturally better aligned to holding a second life force etc.
Also I think that having Powerful Magic might help explain the crafting of not only the Shadow Realm but the Millennium items.
Would anyone want to read the history or pre history from even before the History involved in Yu-Gi-Oh? And would someone be able to do a present day setting adventure with this kind of history helping explain the crossover?
Casting proposal. Chinese Amazons are decendants of both the Moon Kingdom and the Amazon Guard of Ancient Egypt. Ranma, Ryouga, and most of the Wrecking Crew were either fighters or mages in both the first era where the Shadow Realm was created and in the time of the Shadow Games. Adults could be reincarnations as well but I'd rather Happosai and Cologne are not.
The Senshi had not reincarnated during the Shadow games. And Pluto couldn't because she would have to abuse the time gate to go back in time and stop it after she found out they started. She may or may not have tried to intervene but those who were reincarnated would start to remember past lives on seeing her.
Ranma had been both genders in the past. Male in the Silver Millennium, Female when captain of the Guards that were progenitors of the Amazons. It might be a nice touch if memories from the matching former incarnations were stronger depending on form.
So does this have a chance?
