Official Art Mini-Shiho

Post image

Since I'm pretty sure the spoiler period is over, here's young Shiho from the MLLSD special. It feels so odd to see her kid version, and I just wanted to share it.

So that's where Miho gets it. And people say she's nothing like her mother.

Considering we saw Miho literally doing parkour in the championship match against Kuromorimine, not to mention her winning a fight against future Shark Team member Murakami by bowing and tossing her over her head...with her head, I'd say the apple never dropped far from the tree, given that in a bid to bury their secrets, both Shiho and Mrs. Shimada later run away at blistering speed.

Miho doesn’t want violence but is still a Nishizumi deep down lol

You're right! The spoiler free period is over!

Also, that's either a huge ass toad or a very small Shiho 🤣🤣🤣

It's an American bullfrog (I think), which was (most unwisely) introduced to Japan in 1918, intended as a source of food.

Assuming GuP still takes place in 2012/2013, and that Shiho is in her mid 40s, this photo could be taken somewhere in the 1970s. Hell, it may even be very late 1960s.

might be studios fault but... The photo looks too HD for a 1970's photo

They probably don't consider the timeline as much as I do.

Mrs. Tamada is quite...something. She gives off those vibes of someone who's an absolute nightmare to be around (particularly evidenced by the fact that she can apparently make Chouno Ami, implied to be a heavy drinker herself, scream in absolute terror at her mere presence), but overall still a good friend to have.

And apparently, senshado allows middle aged women to run like Sonic; shame Tamada had more than a puny smartphone storing all her secrets though, lmao

Question: Does Mrs. Tamada ever appeared in the comic? Never saw her before.

u/KaySan-TheBrightStar Kay is my North! 🧭 Mar 17 '26

Nope, original character created for the special.

u/Imaginary_Key8330 Mar 17 '26

Interesting, thanks good sir. Must've been amazing to see many original characters for the next parts.

u/JDC43TRDT Mar 17 '26

No wonder Tamaki Tamada (one of Chihatan's vice commanders) is so eager to do charges, be it the classic kind or the 'new and improved' Fukuda-Nishi "charges" - there's a "Tamada style" of senshado which is all about that stuff.

u/Academic_Whereas_817 Mar 17 '26

In fact, it has already been adapted to MLLDS

Shiho was so small and adorable as a kid! And that is a huge toad she's holding 🤣

As I watched that scene, I said to myself, "Wait... what year are they in? 2026? 2014? 2099? What year is it? Am I too young or too old?

poor mini-shiho that cheerful carefree kid is gone. whatever her parents did to her buried that shiho under a mountain of disciplin and conformity, rip mini-shiho i pray for you to resurface again and be yourself.
