sees goja after both of us have been MIA around the forums for a while
VISIBLY TEARS UP
hi kouhaiiiiii I hope you’re doing okay, miss you lots
@KyokaJiro sorry to butt in your wonderful topic, KyokaJiro! I just had to say hi to my kouhai 
But I absolutely love your topic and it’s super sweet of you to make it
Thanks for dropping by @TomatoSalad Senpai 
This thread is for everyone to share their gratitude, so I am happy that you dropped in and shared your love for Goja senpai 
Also, Thanks for your kind words Senpai 
This is so nice, thank you!
I’ve listened to his music a lot. The multiple variations of “You say run” and some of Haikyuu’s soundtracks are among my favorite tracks to have on repeat while studying (they make even the most boring material seem like some amazing battle). I do sometimes wonder during Haikyuu whether the world is going to end if they lose a match though
And I will stand by this choice, I’ll take vanilla ice cream over chocolate any day of the week.
This is great The entire post was so nice I’ve been sitting here with a grin while reading it the entire time. Thank you so much.
You are welcome B san Everything in there is true, I have spelled out what all of us feel about you
EXACTLY !!
All Haikyuu soundtracks are great, and for the world ending comment - Listen to S2 OST CD2 Soundtrack 19 - Makkou Shoubu . This is the soundtrack that plays during the Karasuno vs Seijoh final rally in Set 3 in S2E24. I have watched that video and listened to that soundtrack so many times, just hearing it evokes the imagery and dialogues in my mind Lol, I can go on and on about every single sound track 
My original plan was to give you “Vanilla Durtle” but in the end I felt “B Durtle” was more fitting for you
And I learnt my lesson, never discount Vanilla in any competition 
My Pleasure If you have a smile on your face, I succeeded B san
It’s in my playlist actually, I’ve listened to it a lot already Above is also a great one with a similar epic-fight feel to it. The soundtrack to that show is just great.
“Clever as the Devil and twice as handsome.”
This is the quote that comes to my mind when I think about this durtle. This durtle is one of the most important ones in my forum journey…because it is due to a single post from them I stumbled upon WK’s “Narnia” (POLL thread) I was as stupefied as Lucy when she first entered Narnia 
The durtle is @denzo san.
Denzo san is a quintessential witty durtle from Britain. Their wit is red hot and razor sharp. It can give you serious burns They are as geeky as they are funny and that’s a deadly combination If I was even 10% as funny as you are Denzo san, I’d be set for life 
Thanks for introducing me to the POLL family 
and Thank you for entertaining all of the durtles with your relentless wit I bestow upon you the title of Oscar Durtle
Note: The origin of Oscar durtle is from “Oscar Wilde”, the wittiest author I have read
no u
no wit left to be found after reading that
screeeeee the gif wont attach and I’m too sleepy to fix this post
i miss you too, tomasen and i always hope that you are well <3
I second this. As a code contributor to Tsurukame (it’s open-source and does have code contributions), I totally agree. Thanks for sharing the story behind the name! I totally wish one could get a Tsurukame Durtle. 
P.S. If you’re on macOS, you might still want to get it!
A while ago the folks (including me) on “Level 21 before 2021” thread decided it might be a good idea to gamify our level ups. A good RPG has a good backstory. So we decided to vote and decided we were going to go with either a Pokemon or Harry Potter theme. A lot of the thread members participated and provided their feedback. One of the newest members on the thread weren’t afraid to show their love and passion for Pokemon rattling of the ways we can give badges to durtles similar to Pokemon badges. I have never forgotten that conversation and that is how I came to know @amagi san
Amagi san is one of the most active members of the thread and community. They started the unofficial LGBTQ+ Bookclub, wrote guides in language tips and have been answering doubts of many new durtles. Their focus on inclusivity and welcoming new members is heartwarming and one of the reasons why our forums are thriving
Thank you for your kindness and contributions Amagi san You are an invaluable asset to our community. For being an immovable source of strength and for your love towards Pokemon, I bestow upon you the title of Boulder Durtle
Hahaha Let us hope they introduce them not too far into the future 
Thanks UInt2048 san
When I think of my interactions with this durtle, I get the above mentioned feeling in my heart. It is said “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” I know I am in good company because a majority of my interactions on this forum are with this wonderful durtle. They occupy the top spot on all my lists “Most Replied to”, “Most Liked By”, “Most Liked”. Today’s durtle is one of my closest and the best durtles I have had the fortune to meet It is none other than @ekg san 
I met EKG san on the GIF thread. While we replied to each other’s gifs, we never really spoke to each other. On a fine day, EKG san took the initiative to send a few kind words my way on the Gliaawards thread. Thus began our journey on the forum. From nondescript conversations about Jams and shrooms to heartfelt conversations on life, I have had the pleasure of knowing EKG san.
I deeply admire EKG san. How much you ask? As much as Luffy admires Shanks, Naruto admires Jiraiya and Deku admires All Might. You can feel the warmth in their words when you are talking to them They are strong yet gentle and possess vast reserves of inner strength. There are very few people on this earth who can immediately put a cheerful smile on everyone’s face the moment they enter the scene, and EKG san is one of those rare durtles
EKG san is also a fun durtle to be around. They are one of the Big 3 Cats from the POLL family and one of the original reasons in my descent into Cataddict. Their artistic skills are top notch and they have a durtle army to boot. (In the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Do you recall that awe-inspiring image of Aragorn with his Army of Dead in Minas Tirith? Imagine something similar and replace the dead with durtles ) EKG san is such a badass and Kakkoi durtle, if you were to tell me they were the reincarnation of Avatar Kyoshi in all their glory, I would believe you 
Their name is quite apt since they can relentlessly make your heart go Waku Waku and Doki Doki Beware of being around this durtle, because they can steal your heart
A single act of kindness led to a wonderful and fulfilling chapter in my life. Next time, do not hesitate to send an act of kindness, because you never know what could happen. It could be the start of something special
Thank you for all your kindness and love EKG san. I bestow upon you the title of Kokoro Durtle
I’m so embarrassed and I love it. Boulder Durtle lol. I will write this on my tombstone.
My immovable source of strength and love of Pokemon is nothing compared to your love of people. You cheerleading and championing has definitely been a huge part of the reason I keep coming back to this thread. Love it here!
OMG! So many kind words!
You should know that you’re also someone that brightens up the room a thread with your presence and I’m very glad to have met you!

I have met this durtle in the “Level 21 before 2021” thread. They are a durtle with an interesting autogenerated name. They have an intense interest in history, books, games and languages. The durtle is @tankwidow san
Tank san embodies the quote mentioned above. You can see the fun they are having in each of their posts. Whether it’s their love for History (Bletchley Park), their love for games (Persona 4), their love for books (Mistborn series), their love for languages (Japanese) it makes you appreciate life better by focusing on the fun aspects of difficult things They love Japanese with the same passion they love Programming. They are an excellent example of looking at art and logic with a complementary attitude 
Thanks for the fun Tank san We appreciate your consistent contributions to the community. You have earned your place in the WK history I bestow upon you the title of Rekishi Durtle
Hahaha Thanks for your kind words Amagi san
I am happy you feel that way EKG san
Oh my god this is wonderful, you totally made my day. Thank you so much!
Note: This post contains mild spoilers for one of the arcs in the Original Digimon series.
During my childhood, “Digimon” was one of my favorite shows To the pre-teen version of me, it was a world filled with endless excitement and wonders. In one of the arcs all the kids get scattered and they are fighting hard to survive. We see them face the villains trying to overcome the obstacles. Almost every member experiences a miraculous save when things get tougher. At first I thought it was coincidence, but later in the show it was revealed that it was actually one of characters known as Sora who rushes to everyone’s aid in the shadows When I think of this durtle, they remind me a lot about Sora. The durtle’s name is @prouleau
When I started Wanikani, I saw Prouleau everywhere on the forums. Someone new joined the forum, Prouleau is there to welcome. Someone is in a pinch, Prouleau is there is suggest a solution. Someone is celebrating, Prouleau is there to congratulate and guide them to the relevant threads so that they can get more encouragement and badges. Someone is feeling down, Prouleau is there to help them get back up. It’s like there were 10 Prouleaus running around the forum to help everyone. They did all that while also doing their WK learning, Japanese learning (other resources) and preparing a wonderful script called “Wanikani Item Inspector” which can help you tackle your leech items. (Leeches are the most troublesome aspects of your learning. If you want to eat Broccoli for improving health, but do not like to eat it because of the taste, What if there was a magic wand that can make Broccoli taste like Chocolate while retaining all the nutrition? Wouldn’t it be beyond wonderful That’s what the Item Inspector script can do for your leeches ) If that is not the definition of awesome I don’t know what is.
Prouleau san is a kind and caring person with an instinctual reaction to help others as much as they can Prouleau san will not turn someone down when they need help, sometimes at the cost of their own well-being. Even when they are sick, they keep working on improving the script to help others. Please take care of yourself.
I am thankful for all the times I and countless durtles relied on your help and guidance to push through to next levels. Your capacity for generosity is as vast as the endless sky and your actions are as beautiful as the serene blue sky on a perfect spring morning.
The more I think about it, I can’t help but feel…
やっぱりあなたはすごいですね 
I bestow upon you the title of Sora Durtle
What a deluge of kind words. 
This is the most poetic description of Item Inspector I have ever seen. I just need to make a button to turn broccoli into chocolate. Do you want your chocolate white or black? Ok I will make a setting for this.
Joking aside thanks a lot. Maybe your poetry will convince someone to give Item Inspector a try.
