This feels like pixel art Ai...

I was briefly fooled by the other one, but there's so much wrong with this one that it's pretty obviously AI even at a glance. The reflections don't line up, the chair looks like some kind of Escherian impossible object, and the AI couldn't decide whether the sliding doors should be paper or glass.

    Interesting, the Japanese word for "watermelon" ("スイカ" / "suika") is commonly written in katakana (as are most plants and animals in modern Japanese), so you nornally just get the pronunciation when reading it. That's how it's written here.

    "Sui"/"水" is the common Chinese derived pronunciation for "water" in most compound words, and "ka"/"瓜" means "melon". As a result, in my mind, I always figured it was just "水瓜" / "watermelon" just like it is in English.

    Thinking that way made the fact that the artist explicitly pointed out the English etymology in the post here as trivia seem a little weird to me, since it wouldn't be that interesting if it just matched the Japanese etymology.

    Apparently, "水瓜" is a possible alternative kanji spelling in Japanese, but its rare, and the original / preferred / more proper kanji spelling is "西瓜" meaning "western melon" which has the same pronunciation.

    From left to right : Militech Mk.31 HMG, Nokota D5 Copperhead, Budget Arms Carnage and Militech M251s Ajax.

    Edit: I just noticed Shiroko seems to have Errata (the unique thermal katana) strapped to her left hip, so I'm tagging it in, also removed minigun and gatling gun and added heavy machine gun, because the MK 31 is a single barrel gun.

    Akiyama Mizuki is not a girl. He is a biological guy, with an officially unknown gender. The comments are not negative, just to let the author know.

    Upd: Please also do not start an argument about this.

    How is it a biological male if the gender is unknown?

    Glancing over the fan wiki it seems like it might be implied, but not openly stated.

    As for what is open:

    Trivia

    • On the Global server of Project SEKAI, Mizuki is referred to with both "she/her"and "they/them" pronouns, though it is unknown which Mizuki personally uses. When possible, Mizuki's name is used in place of pronouns entirely.
      • On the Japanese server of Project SEKAI, Mizuki typically uses the masculine first-person pronoun Boku (ボク), which is most often used by immature or young boys, though it is also used by tomboyish girls.
