What Space Patrol Luluco meant to me, as an aeromantic middle schooler
H hhiii everybody, this is an essay I wanted to write. I know this is an art account, but the last time I wrote a half assed paper about Osomatsu’s 24th season two episode you guys like it? So maybe, just maybe, you guys would be ok with reading another, this time something more personal, about what I beleive is a completely underrated show and how it changed my life! :D
WARNING!! THERE ARE HEAVY SPOILERS IN THIS ARTICLE FOR SPACE PATROL LULUCO
Space Patrol Luluco is a 13 episode shit post about a 13 year old girl name Luluco (fuckadoodle doo) who take her father’s place in the Okikubo division of the Space Patrol after he’s turned into a frozen brain splinter by her Space Pirate Mother. (more on that later)
What the series is most known for is being one huge fucking inside joke for fans of Studio Trigger. The 13 episodes are divided into 5 mini seasons, each ending on the third episode so that that there’s never a fourth episode, since Trigger is known for their infamously bad fourth episodes. The show even confirms that all Trigger properties belong in the same universe just on different planets, Luluco even meets some notable characters from other shows. It’s a really neat show for fans of the studio.
But for me, I’ve always seen the show as something much more personal than that, especially as an aeromantic middle schooler.
The show throughout seasons 1-3 carries this subplot of Luluco’s crush on this apathetic good looking boy name Nova; and to be honest when I was first watching it I found this subplot cringey and unappealing.
As a bit of a disclaimer, my aeromanticism was a coping mechanism due to some bad experiences involving being stalked and manipulated by a boy I knew for seven years. (i’m not joking, fourth grade to tenth grade) For most people aeromanticism isn’t a phase, and I’m not trying to imply in anyway that that’s what it is, but for me, it was a phase. Romance made me incredibly uncomfortable, because I was convinced that all love is shallow especially premature teen age love. I believed the standard of love we had created for ourselves was impossible to actually achieve. Especially impossible, and pointless, for middle school love.
And that’s how I felt about Luluco’s crush for Nova. It wasn’t special, it wasn’t deep, it wasn’t love. But it all changed in the series's climax, because my outlook on Luluco’s crush was the exact intention of the writer’s. The audience was meant to view her love as insignificant, because that was the exact view of the series's main antagonist too.
Another thing I’ve always loved about all of Trigger’s properties are their insane plot twists. (or at least the ones I've seen have plot twists) In episode one of season four of Space Patrol Luluco it’s revealed that the commanding chief of the entire space patrol force is a Blackholien, an alien species that only finds joy from stealing everything the universe has to offer; but because he’s so bored of stealing things of value, he sets about trying to steal the most worthless object in the entire universe- a middle school crush. Nova, the boy Luluco loves, is revealed to be a Nothingling, a being incapable of having a personality or feelings. The Blackholien humiliates Luluco by showing everyone that she only loves Nova for his looks, because that’s all he is. Then, Nova steals Luluco’s love from her body and the shock of this kills her.
Now, watching this for the first time, this really got my attention. In the next fucking episode, Luluco isn’t even in the opening anymore, because she’s dead. She spends the whole episode in hell, until she realizes something. It doesn’t matter to her that her love seems immature and shallow, because to her, it’s real.
Pulling back from the show for a moment, I’d like to say that we live in a society where we hate little girls. We do. If something is fucking stupid but is geared toward boys we withstand it. But if something is fucking stupid and geared toward little girls we hate on it, relentlessly. I felt that pressure alot as a child. Until I reached high school I was a tomboy, because I didn’t want to be seen as feminine. Subconsciously, I saw it as weak and something to outgrow. But it wasn’t until freshmen year that I realized that I’m ok with being girly. I can be feminine and powerful at the same time.
I got a little off topic there but what I’m trying to say is that these themes are very present all through out the show Space Patrol Luluco, except it focuses less on gender expression and more on age but still it’s kind of the same. There are arc words within the series, such as how instead of stealing people only use the term “shoplift.” And how the Blackholien at every chance he gets calls Luluco a worthless middleschooler, belittling her for her age and her optimism.
I rewatched the series recently, and seeing it from a different perspective, with a romantic partner in my life, I’ve really come to understand Nova and Luluco’s relationship. Back in season one, after spending sometime with Nova Luluco experiences this big bang, and it’s meant to be this metaphor for the emotions blooming within her. Later, after Luluco comes back to life and confesses her feelings to Nova he experiences a big bang too, and for the first time ever he can feel emotions, and he falls in love with Luluco, and to me, that is the most romantic beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
As someone who has personally experienced what it’s like to feel incapable of love to finding my soulmate, it’s incredibly empowering. And that’s the real purpose of Space Patrol Luluco. Good art shows people different perspectives of the world, and years ago that’s exactly what it did for me. And I don’t care if love is stupid anymore I just know what it is I feel, and that’s what Luluco is for. To teach little girls like me that it’s ok to have dumb middle school crushes.

✨SKETCHES OF THE OC OG✨ I self-centeredly love her uwu Her name is Mora, and she thinks she’s a bear
God he was so emotional in this episode I was thought he might cry, but I’m kinda glad he didn’t One of my favorite things about Osomatsu San is that the drama in the show relies heavily on visual cues and subtext It’s honestly one of my biggest cinematic pet peeves when a show outright says what a character is thinking- because the point f a visual story is to convey it visually And that is one of the greatest strengths of Osomatsu San as a show, that and it’s characterization is fantastic Other characters in the show have been known to cry, and it’s impactful when they do And I thought for the longest time it would be so cool to see Oso cry But the show has taught me that that’s not who he is, he doesn’t cry under pressure, he just shuts down And yet, knowing that him, when he sits there on that bench, loosing his mind, it’s some how a thousand times more unnerving than it could’ve ever been if he had cried
If it means getting to see more of your awesome art, I'm all for it 👏🏼
HEDGEY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH THANK YOU ;;;;; ILL DO MY BEST!!
Hey Guys, I have a few things I feel I need to say before I post any more art I know I’m always coming back here with some big apology and an oath to post regularaly but I’ve decided to make some changes about the way I run my blogs For the past half a year or so, I’ve been treating this blog like a portfolio I’ve stopped posting wips and sketches and started making digital versions of everything I draw, and I’m going to be honest with you all- I hate it I can’t even draw in my normal sketchbook because of the excess amount of sketches stocked up to become digital drawings It just leads to me avoiding art, and getting nothing done I thought that moving strictly to high quality content would be better for you all but I see now I was wrong I’ve decided to value quantity over quality for the sake of regular posting- and my sanity I will soon after this be posting wips and sketches and I just wanted to before hand apalogize for my absence and the future drop in quality I’m trying to love what I do again, and I’m sorry for putting this need about what you all deserve
this is really goddamn long
anon asked: “How did Oso-san establish mental illnesses?”
Oh man oh man I’m so happy someone asked this ahah… its something I feel pretty strongly about! For starters, let me establish I’m focusing mainly on Osomatsu (because. Reasons) and also, none of this is 100% confirmed by staff, but this is my take on it. I find the subtlety of the issue in a gag serious makes it even more relatable tbh!!
We’ll start in numerical order, way back in episode 2 of season one. Oso finds himself home alone, which is what we can assume to be an irregular occurrence. After essentially stalking them in pursuit of some brotherly bonding time, he gets pretty pissed at their lack of interest in him. He even tells Chibita he’d rather be born an only child, which we know now to be bullshit. He acts pretty dejected for the rest of the episode, though no one really notices.
Skip ahead to episode 5’s Esp Kitty. After Ichi’s freak incident with Nyanko and his pretty obvious regret, it’s Oso who is the most understanding and brotherly of all. This could be a stretch but I think it ties in with the opposites attract mechanism in parkamatsu (and suuji, but it’s more apparent), being Ichi is afraid of rejection while Oso wears his heart on his sleeve 99% of the time. Again, just my opinion. Parka’s some good shit.
The more concrete evidence comes in at episode 9, where we really get an insight to how bad loneliness affects him. He’s definitely the most pissed after finding out about Jyushi’s girlfriend, because it’s supposed to be him getting a girlfriend, he’s the oldest, the titular sextuplet, and He’s the one who sets the example. He still does the right thing in the end, bless his soul.
There’s also the sanematsu skit. While I don’t believe in the “Osomatsu’s an only child who made up his brothers” theory, I do think it could be foreshadowing a grim result in missing his brothers so much, either at the end of Letter or Sakura.
Aaaaand then we skip ahead to Letter. What I feel about this episode has been said a million times over at this point, but basically, without his brothers, Oso doesn’t feel like anybody, and this realisation hits him like a TRUCK. Que chemical imbalance in the brain, a side effect of mental illness (most notably depression) which causes the person to lose complete interest in life, bringing up aggressive episodes occasionally. Which is fairly spot on to what we see in Oso.
On to Season 2!! Everything’s happy and light hearted again, but the kicker here is the side effects of episode 24 remain. Karamatsu’s lost respect for his onii-chan, Choro’s grown a coldness towards him, Ichi’s grown more fed up of his antics. (No difference with Jyushi or Totty, I don’t think). It’s driven home just how aware Oso is of his inability to be his own person, with how everyone perceives him. (Episode 2, his bros painting him as he’s always looked because there’s nothing special about him, and then Totoko reiterating that fact.)
Then we have another sanematsu segment. If Sane is indeed a Bad End deriritave of Oso, the whole “don’t make me say it” conversation gains some extra depth. Of course, Sane dies, which could play into Oso’s shift in gear, the Bad End is dead, avoiding another Letter incident in this season’s episode 24.
Which, of course, was the best episode ever made. Sakura proves to us that Oso is capable of making the right decision when not forced too. He’s become more self aware, he needs to make a decision that his brothers will willingly follow, a decision which will benefit his family. All looks well since he’s avoided the whole I Have No Reason To Live Without My Brothers front, but it’s given him a different problem. Without My Brothers, Who Am I?
He’s spending less and less time with his bros, more time by himself. He’s not acting as he does when around them. He’s not acting as the self he’s always known to be him, so is that really who Osomatsu is? If not that, then what? What’s his purpose now? That was probably his train of thought while he sat disassociating in the rain for hours. That’s a pretty big red flag that he’s not super okay all of the time.
I would like to think that he came to the conclusion that self-doubt like this is just part in parcel of growing up and finding your true self, and that’s what he was going to share with his brothers. BUT OF COURSE STAFF FUCKED US OVER AND SENT THEM ALL TO HELL IN TYPICAL OSOMATSU SAN FASHION. Otl.
TLDR; Staff are a bunch of smart cookies who made the seemingly most bland character into the most complex, with enough emotional experiences that make him a relatable and compelling protagonist and husband material. Seriously, if you’re like me and suffer from mental illness, Ichi and Kara are all well and good but Oso is objectively the most realistic of the lot. He needs more love. HE’S ALSO A FUCKING SWEETHEART??
HE FINALLY GOT OSO’S NAME RIGHT
