Alright guys I know its 2 weeks into March, but here were my final two creations for #funaday2026: Trainer Red and Trainer Blue.

They're meant to synergize with the Pokémon sets created by the Ace Trainer himself, Drsnackfood, who was one of the first customs fools to break rank and start injecting the game with worlds from outside the comics sphere.

Even though he's on a bit of a hiatus, his sets have been some of my favorite, rooted in balanced, meat and potatoes OP mechanics. Consider these my attempt at paying homage to these wonderful ideas, as well as building on their sturdy foundations.

I wanted to give them a real "Trainer" feel, allowing them to interact with their front line of mons by way of Teamworks and Double Shots (the latter of which are seldom used) and more of that flavor'll get savored as I develop their Special kits.

It's worth nothing that Golduck and Poliwhirl don't currently exist in any capacity, so I'm either gonna have to bring the snackster outta self imposed exile, or make em myself! So while Fun-A-Day may officially be done for the year, there's no reason for me stop the festivities when we've still gotta catch 'em all.

#funaday2026 Day 26 - friends over, out to shows, eating food, I've done it all, but I promise this one was actually done on Feb 26, 2026!

The only Ultimates associate missing is the one time Blue Marvel archvillain, the Anti-Man, and here he is as the Triskelion's aspect (like a Special, but played directly by the Homebase, and thus less susceptible to certain defenses).

It's a bit of a doozy, offering a ton of utility to offset the Location's stern IA. Really stoked on the layout of this one (I really need to make my own card game, stat!)

#funaday2026 Days 22 & 23 - I actually skipped Day 22 and ended up knocking the out back to back Day 23. I couldn't leave O-Ren unprotected for too long, though, so here's the legion of goons one must get through first!

Gogo is such an icon that she can't be ignored, but her and the 88 don't have quite enough presence in the movie to make whole Character kits.

I think that's where TPD kicked open the design space when they decided to create SUPPORT Characters (and that ain't the first time, either!) Bit players with heavy zeitgeist cachet or omnipresent but underdeveloped background filler (think Trek's Red Shirts or Wars' Stormtroopers) can get a chance to shine.

They die with just one Hit, but don't count toward your TPD and open up some gnarly combo potential. They don't have Specials themselves, but the RECRUIT Characters should have synergies built into their kit to support, well, the SUPPORT.

I'm excited to keep messing around with this mechanic and proud of this first foray!

#funaday2026 Day 21: the brutal and cunning leader of the Yakuza, Cottonmouth herself: O-Ren Ishii. She's my favorite of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, so I'm hoping to do her justice.

I hadn't created anything using the "RECRUIT" mechanic developed by TPD Cards yet, and figured she, as the leader of Yakuza, protected as she is by Johnny Mo, Gogo Yubari, and the Crazy 88, would be a great fit.

Once I get to the Specials, I want it to feel like she's just throwing bodies at you, wearing you down until the final bout, just like the movie!

I really enjoyed putting this together, the excellent art by Craig Drake captures O-Ren perfectly without feeling too photorealistic and I love the Nagle-print aesthetic. I tried something new with the text shadows, throwing on a stroke of a relevant color which really makes it all pop.

#funaday2026 Day 19: spent a lazy day rewatching three movies I've been meaning to get back to for a while: Boogie Nights and Kill Bill 1 & 2, and while Dirk Diggler's massive... weapon doesn't seem a great fit for OP, the Bride certainly does.

Jeeny pushed me to cook her up and here we are! One of the most dogged and deadly assassins, Beatrix Kiddo's revenge tour left a trail of bodies across the globe.

I've got a few ideas for the rest of her kit, but the plan is to make her fast, combo heavy, and hard to kill.

#funaday2026 Day 18: Kneel puny humans, for the Blood Devil Fiend treads before you.

I gave Denji and Aki some love, but it was finally time to get to my favorite Chainsaw Man character, the impetuous, irreverent, dangerous cat-loving Power!

Maybe I've said this before, but I'm really trying to establish "color identity" in this game and her IA feel fitting for the grid she's been given and the life she's livin'. Soak up damage and revel in violence, ya know?

I'm excited to iron out this trio and slowly but surely put together a deep dive into the entire series!

#funaday2026 Day 17 - Jo's a lot of things: a former cop (resigned in disgrace for doing the right thing, so we'll cut her some slack), a Green Lantern, a futzin' weeb, and one gets the feeling from all her dalliances she's maybe read the Ethical Slut a couple times, but above all else, she's "She's Just A Girl From Brooklyn."

A scrapper and a survivor with the Will to carry out the Oath, say it with me now, True Believers: "In Brightest Day..."

I needed to give her something to compensate a bit for her Inherent Ability. Yes, it can impact her offensive and defensive capabilities, but she perseveres despite it all, and I think this reflects that. Paired with "A New Kind of Ring," I think this will keep the pressure on even while she's "recharging."

This is the last Jo card for now, but I've got a couple more to brew before I can officially call her kit complete!

#funaday2026 Day 16 - Jo's a pretty complex character, which is more or less the noir-soaked milieu "Cops, Crooks, a Dog, and the Man From Hell" hopes to play in, and this card pulls from that complexity. A former solider and beat cop, she's repeatedly found herself in hot water for prioritizing justice over the wretched and corrupt herd mentality being a guy or gal in blue requires.

A rogue Guardian recognized this quality within her, to protect the innocent at all costs, she was gifted the experimental ring, and this same quality is what inspired the card "Because Someone Has To."

#funaday2026 Day 12:

Here's the woman in question, times twice.

I gave one version the "digi-zine" treatment I've been givin' the Chainsaw Man character, and another got a more noir influenced variant, since Jo's one of the characters I've earmarked for the "Cops, Crooks, A Dog, and the Man From Hell" set alongside Columbo, Dale Cooper, and Veronica Mars. I just couldn't resist after finding this stellar art from Its Albir.

The ring Jo was gifted by the Guardians is experimental, allowing a user to explore and serve in the deepest reaches of space (to wit, the Far Sector), without requiring a Power Battery to recharge. As a result, it's use requires downtime to recharge.

Jo makes great use of it, but even without, Jo is smart, intuitive, and resourceful. It might seem like a bummer for her Energy actions to take a hit, but I think you'll all dig the kit I'm brewing for her and see why she's one of my favorite Lanterns.

#funaday2026 Day 11:

Playing catch up.

This one has been lingering in the recesses of mind for a minute, I think I told @thecisco about this almost a year ago now. Recursion doesn't pop up too much in this game, so I cooked up a keyword for it (I just love doing that!)

Jo Mullein is a new type of Lantern, with a ring that doesn't require a power battery to recharge, but it's output isn't quite as strong as the standard ring. I felt this was a perfect fit for an Artifact that keeps her locked and loaded with mid-range Power Cards!

NK Jemisin and Jamal Campbell really killed it on her origin series, Far Sector, crafting a perfect space-bound, murder mystery, set in a repressed society on the brink of revolution. Highly recommended!
