Question about Lettuce (2001 anime)

So I've been wondering something about her, from what I understand the Mew Mews need their medallion to transform and said medallion is given by Masha, but in the anime it is said that she had discovered her powers and transformation before meeting with Ichigo and the gang so... how does that work?

I get that they were infused with animal DNA before just like Ichigo (I think?) but that should've just been like some animal-like traits, not the full transformation.

Is it the same in the manga? is there an explanation or is it just like that?

[TOMT][SONG][2010?] Poetic, soft song in Spanish

Tough ask since I know it's most common to post things in english and such, but it's killing me to know if anyone can find this song I just heard at an electronics shop here in Mexico. I didn't have my phone with me so I couldn't shazam it, but I tried to commit to memory some of the lyrics, they aren't exact but I think are close enough:

"Las palabras son como flechas" This one is the least exact, I just have the vague idea that one line was like this or conveyed the same idea, don't really rely on this one.

"Agujas que caen en un río" I do remember the word "Agujas" and "Río" here, probably referring to something like rain. Either way, this one is also not exact, but it does have some concrete words.

"polvo de fuego a punto de estallar" This is the line I'm most confident in, specially the phrase "Polvo de fuego" which I assume refers to powder, just in a much poetic manner. I'm not sure if it said estallar or explotar, but both mean the same; explode/ blow up.

Some other details is that it was kinda slow, it did have some instruments that were like guitar, it was singed by a woman and she had this semi-quiet voice, a bit breathy, like between whispering and singing, but it didn't sound too quiet, basically soft singing. I listened to it here in Mexico just today, sadly that doesn't tell me which year the song is from, but doesn't sound too old.

What I'm most baffled at is that I've been searching for a while now and I have found not a single match nor lead, despite some phrases like "polve de fuego" being so specific, I'm wondering if search engines have just become worse at finding such things.

The auto bot is truly baffling.

We all know it's bad, like really bad, but somehow it just gets worse the more I use it and observe it. And on one hand I get it, it's not supposed to be all that good compared to an actual player, but I feel that at the very least it should function slightly better than it currently does, specially on the following aspects I've noticed:

- The most obvious one and yet, the one I feel less strongly about; its tendency to hang-out on top of damaging floor. This one I don't mind much even though in theory should be the worst, it's just that I don't use the bot in places where damaging floor is a big factor. I'm sure there will come a time when it is and I'll regret not pulling for Erdrick's Shield, but an even better solution would be if they just fixed the bot.

- This one I feel is related to the last point, but the bot is awfully bad at dodging some specific attacks, and it's a weird mix. The Green Dragon's breath is the worst, does a lot of damage and is awfully large, it also has the distinction of not generating any warning area, and I think that's why the bot never seems to attempt to dodge this one, even if it's as easy as moving to the side a bit, but it can be catastrophic.

Kinda related, but I've seen the bot also outright ignore area attacks AFTER they have started, just now as I'm writing this it happened again; Ethereal Dragon prepares breath attack and bot gets out of the area. Breath attack begins and bot willfully throws itself into the fire right-after... awful. The bot also fails to dodge some random stray attacks here and there, so I'll sort-of add this to my next point.

- The bot is weirdly inconsistent in many ways, like those random attacks, but also, the bot sometimes will ignore medicinal herbs on the floor, even if my character has low HP, for no reason, they will just ignore it. Would be nice if the bot was just more consistent overall.

- The bot also has no priorities, this is too broad because it probably applies to a lot, but I'm specifically talking about Ruin paths and blessings, the bot will seemingly choose at random on these. Would be nice if there was a setting where you could set up priorities, specially for the blessings. This one point feels the most complex I feel.

- And wait, speaking of priorities, bots will break down if they are inside multiple warning areas, lots of rockbombs are almost guaranteed to kill a bot because they just panic and try to move away unsuccessfully and you have to pray the passive damage deals with the rocks. Would be nice if there were some settings to tweak how the bot behaves, like being aggressive, defensive and something in-between.

And that's it, I know coding a simple but competent AI is rough and some situations are harder to fix than others, like I get why the bot freaks out at some situations, but I also feel the bot could be a lot smarter and reliable, unless it is supposed to be THAT dumb.

Anyways, let me know what has been the dumbest thing you've seen the auto bot do and what would you change/suggest to improve it.

Discussion about future banners and events...

Not gonna ask when these will come, I don't think anyone would know (unless?) But seeing as how the DQ1 event was handled... I am wondering how everyone thinks they'll handle the future events, also list your wishlists and such, it's fun to hear ideas from the community.

What stood out to me were the banners, I didn't expect the Sword of Erdrick to come this soon, although I guess it is in DQ1, I see it more as a DQ3 weapon. What's more, the Dragonlord staff was a nice surprise, it's been a while since DQoTS was live so I don't remember if we got villain's equipment aside from maybe Psaro's so this was just dope.

However, it makes me wonder at what kind of weapons we are gonna see in the future, because if we go strictly by what heroes and villains wield, it's gonna be mostly swords and staffs (some villains don't even use any weapons). So on that note, I guess they are gonna focus on other weapons with different types, list any iconic ones that aren't swords you'd wish to see in the future, same for the villain's weapons.

That aside, what events, characters, bosses, etc. you are looking forward to seeing in the game? Are you saving for any in particular? same goes for events outside of the DQ continuity (christmas, halloween, etc.)

I hope we get to see some fun events (before the game eventually gets to EoS 😭)

Red-pressers, what would you do if you knew your loved ones went with blue?

By some miracle, glitch or whatever, you somehow learn your loved one/s chose blue, but you have no other information available about the total tally, it's also too late to influence them to change their vote. What will you do?

Obviously on one hand, it may be too late to skew the voting in any significant manner, you only have your own choice, will you press red and risk living without your loved ones? Will you press blue out of solidarity and in case the impossible happens? What if the results are made public after? Do you think you can justify your choice if blue wins?

I know what the original question entails and I don't intend for this to change in any way your original answer, I just want to know how and if knowing the choice of those important to you changes how you think. Also, I guess this can apply to blue-pressers as well, does this affect your choice in any way?
