Cardfight!! Vanguard G: Cray's Collapse

Interview with the Author + Last Ever Question and Answers! (Part 1)

(Interview)

Massive thanks to kaiishida for doing this~!

Shida: Interview with brodda Fox. Lights, camera, ACTION!

Fox: Action! >:3 Hi, my name is Fox, but I think you knew that..

Shida: Nibba that was obvious by now. Your greatest book has completed 2 goddamn years. How does that feel?

Fox: Yo that shit feels really weird
Cuz like, my writing style changed soooo much within 2 years ppl be reading the first bit then the last bit and think
"Wow. How and what the fuck happened in this story?"

But tho legit, 2 years... is super old...

Shida: You went from perv comedy and death to just death. Why did you added death to the book?

Fox: My logic was that it stood out from Yudai's Book (which, at the time, was the most popular vanguard fanfic)
But then, I realised... Death in a children's card game? Unheard of. So, I went through with it and triggered some people along the way

Shida: I think it's obvious by now that whoever mains a fan clan or has fan cards dies. That's the most common trait for the victims

Fox: Yeah, I think you were the only one to figure it out
Everyone else didn't realise. Naru got kind of close though, he thought it was other people's OCs

Shida: That was my original theory but then it was proved false due to the Cray Collapse's sequel being a thing. So, after the end of this giant journy that has been Cray Collapse, what can we expect for the sequel?

Fox: Hmm, well, if I'm being honest I'm not sure what it'll be
All I know is that a new main character exists and he has a yandere

Shida: I'm getting those Kumo chick vibes already

Fox: You mean Kazue? XD

Shida: Hell yeah I do. Were you expecting for the book to take this long to end?

Fox: NO NOT AT ALL
when I first started it I expected to wrap up around 1 year
I DIDNT ASK FOR THIS TO TAKE 2-

Shida: You were able to keep it up for a long ass time. Your book will serve as an inspiration for many writers to come. It was my inspiration and it will be someone else's

Fox: Hopefully, this'll inspire a generation of card game writers who are not afraid to add "adult" themes like death and rape *cough* WYVON *cough*

Shida: This makes me feel old already. What would be your top 10 characters for this book? Don't worry, you can have more than 1 character in a spot

Fox: Ah, top 10 huh
Hmm, this is kinda difficult, but-
1) Shika
I'm sorry but like, Shika is best boi of the series, I love him to death
2) Yza/Kinjuzo
Obvious reasons x)
3) Ayato
Dudes edgy and funny
4) Ryu
There's something about him which is really cool imo
5) Rukia
Liked her character (betrayal stuff)
6) Ryuzaki
Gotta give some love to the head of the Neo Diffrider Comedy Group
7) Mai
Gotta give some loli love (she made a love triangle AND kissed Kinjuzo LOOOL)
8) Payic
Because she spawned the best meme in the book
9) Zeon
I actually liked his character
10) Kurakuya
Yo this guy was fun to write

Shida: I mean... There is still hope for Detonix Ayaza
That could be the biggest meme deck

Fox: I feel like there hasn't been enough memes in the book
Like, the book should have more memes

Shida: Funny how your favourite character has the biggest winning record on the series so far

Fox: Or, created more
Oh yeah that's true XDD
Shika is just a lovable boi
