Hi, Greg! Big fan of “Gargoyles” here, and have for the last two decades! Still keeping my fingers crossed we can a comeback on the show someday soon.

The show established that a lot of the mythical creatures we see in the show are part of Oberon’s Children, such as Puck, Banshee, the Weird Sisters, Raven, etc. and etc., and I’ve been waiting all these years to visit feudal Japan during Brooklyn’s (my fave) TimeDancer adventures. When I heard that we will meet the Ishimura Clan of the time period, and where Brooklyn will meet his mate Katana (who I desperately want to meet properly), it made me think of “Inuyasha”, which is set in feudal Japan, where demons and spirits (yōkai and yūrei and yōsei) exist. Gargoyles being the inspiration for tengu, a type of yōkai in Japanese folklore, has already been established in the show. This might be something you can’t answer because it might be too spoilery, but here’s my question:

During Brooklyn’s TimeDancer adventures, will Brooklyn encounter any of Oberon’s Children? And, if so, will meet any in feudal Japan?

As an Asian fan growing up on your show, one of my favorite things was seeing how myths and legends and folklore was weaved into your show. Growing up on anime also made a huge fan of Japanese folklore. I can’t begin to express how happy it made me, years ago, that my favorite character Brooklyn will finally find love in a Japanese gargoyle, who (judging from your hints in the past) will be strong, witty, courageous, and a perfect match for him in every way. I’m wishing you all the best, and I’m rooting for “Gargoyles” to return someday soon and for the fifth season of “Young Justice” to be renewed! :)
