Pepe Waccabrada - Sternritter Encyclopedia by Tommo2304 Pepe Waccabrada - Sternritter Encyclopedia by Tommo2304
Hehe this one's gonna be good. He's finally here - a lot of peoples' least favourite Sternritter, Pepe! I really am taking my time in getting to most of the good ones ;P 

Seriously though, while I completely get why people hate him, he just isn't my least favourite. He's not really even that near the bottom. The fact is, his base design was really cool and unique and even his Vollstandig has its merits, keeping with the tainted love and cupid themes well. I think, for whatever reason, Kubo actually put a surprising amount of effort into Pepe. I don't know why he did, but you can see it - the named Vollstandig, the bow and arrow, the somewhat transformed Vollstandig - hell, his Vollstandig even has an initiation! Pepe as a character is full of weird attention to detail that contrasts pretty heavily with the way Kubo just offed him. But yes, I do think Pepe is pretty grotesque at the end of the day and fully see why people hate him. 

What did you think of Pepe? I remember being sorely disappointed when we found out his Schrift - I thought Kubo was going to go down the warlock route. The toning was done by my friend :iconskurasa:!

I was hoping he'd be a bit more of a mystic. Something akin to a Voodoo user of the Sternritters. His eye staff had me thinking he'd be that kind of person. Unfortunately he became Zommari 2.0 but just CREEPIER if possible. I did love how he got beat though, Kensei punches for days XD

That's honestly exactly what I was hoping for too and I really thought Kubo was going that route.

I think he got overwhelmed by the sheer number of his own antagonists. He may have had specific ideas when the concept and artwork was done, but probably scrapped it for something else entirely.

H was interesting from his (foots) debut and throughout...till his fight.  He was such a talkative creepy fucking loser, lol. He was weak as shit and had to rely on his power to control everyone else to do anything. I thought he'd actually use his staff in battle, but he never did and the thing seems useless. His Vollstandig would haven been better if he didnt wear a damn thong...just keep the pants....

Yeah his staff just randomly disappears after a while it seems.

Actually his staff held his Quincy Cross in the center of the eye.

No, just for creepy others out and have it to use his Vollstandig. Weird the his basket he float on did be used at a weapon huh? Have to him some credit for that right?

Would be better if he used it like a melee weapon so he wasn't a lazy fat piece of shit who let his Love slaves fight for him

Probably the Sternritter I hate the most. He had a mysterious feeling at one point but then he turned into a Zommari 2.0 and character wise he was worse than Zommari. His Vollstandig is what probably disgusts me the most. Truly Liltotto has done a good deed in killing PePe that day.

I think him being a Zommari clone right down to fighting Byakuya did not help at all. I just think Kubo went silly and rushed it with the arrival of Mayuri. It's undeniable that Pepe had Byakuya on the ropes (quite literally) before that moment. I think their fight honestly could've been alright.

I completel agree on him being a Zommari clone. Man, I wish we saw another way his Schrift could work.

You know, like finding the subject of ths target's love and bringing it into the real world, back from the dead even!

What would your take on it be?

I am asking because I really liked your idea about Cang Du's background

Great job!  I actually agree with you about Pepe.  While he's far from my favorite, he's actually not bad as a fighter and he has such a unique design.  He may have even been inspired by a sphinx or a griffon since they closely related to cherubs in mythology, but this I'm less sure about.  It's only an educated guess.

Thank you! Honestly, he had Byakuya on the ropes in their 'fight'. I wish it had lasted longer, but Kubo just totally rushed it with the arrival of Mayuri which ruined it in my opinion.

I know.  He was pretty tough if you think about it.  Many other Stern Ritters had fights that were far more underwhelming.

Yea, before going Vollstadig, I think Pepe look Ok. Was not my favorite or anything. Was in the middle too. I think Pepe pure was for fan to like Zommari again. Still his power of the Love was a threat and he was strong then Giselle too. Would have been interesting see the two not like each other, since they could take away each other people they can control. 

Well, only 11... I mean Nine left. Sigh, just please get Gremmy done with and maybe have both Guenael and Shaz stand next to him. That would make me happy then both being ignore completely please.

We seem to have similar opinions about Pepe!

skullcrucher Featured By Owner Oct 1, 2016
Yea, be and Blackboomer22 have agree the both Guenael and Shaz should have their own pages please.

After all both did state the were SternRitters are all. Not going to ask about Hubert at all, since no letter was give to him even if he was one too. 

Well, I just going to hope and pray please. Just hope you do it only at least think about them. Good lucky. 

Also why would you have a Guenael and Shaz folder in the Vandereich group page? Just asking since you been some Guenael and Shaz pictures other work very hard on doing. 

I hope we don't argue about this. I don't like that and just talk this idea out Ok?

I think both A, Guenael and Shaz aren´t sternritter. Maybe Tom don´t make them...

he was indeed an interesting screwball, somewhat ugly, obsessed with Love and turned into a hideous cupid in his vollstandig
but interesting none the less. yeah, he's in the middle with me too I think

nice work
