Well, the story might be partly because of my own dark twist I put on everything I tend to touch. Beyond that, there's one Kill la Kill joke about how the outfits require blood to transform, that may have been hard to get, and one Naruto joke, specifically about Deidara's fight against Saskue, which resulted in him killing himself with his own clay-based explosives, also "killing" his partner Tobi, who happened to specifically use skills involving setting explosives underground. I came into it wanting to just make a joke champion that hates Katsue because I thought it would be funny, but then I ended up spending hours on researching other champions and trying to make a balanced champion. It still doesn't feel super balanced to me, but the point is I made a champion that's similarly fragile to Katsue, but overall more balanced.
