Ginga Board

... And as it turns out, some of his lost characters actually got sucked into the board. Weird right?

Can you find them?

Characters are hidden within topics on the board, with one exception*... clues below!

Character 1*: Busy being pulled out of a void somewhere. Seeing him will refresh your memory.
Character 2: Struggling to stay awake since GDReq started.
Character 3: Content in solitude in a dead location.
Characters 4 and 5: The names of these best friends were mentioned recently.
Character 6: He likes the pet theme.
Character 7: When it comes to fishing, he follows the rulebook.

First person to find them all and name who they are in a reply below will get to write some new phrases for our new board helper, Orion!

1. Mel
2. Reika
3. Gennai. This one actually stumped me for a bit!
4. Heizo
5. Tyson
6. Hook
7. Chibi

Whoo, got them all!!

A scavenger hunt, huh?! Challenge accepted.

1. Mer

2. Reika

3. Gennai

4 & 5. Heizo and Tyson

6. Hook

7. Chibi

2nd person to find them all! (Although #6 was a pain in the ass to find. But then when I thought about this topic and found it in that topic, I was like, "OH!")

By the way, this was very fun to do! I wish there would have been a lot more to find.

My answers:
The second one had me stumped because I thought it was Gin because in the beginning of GDReq, he is the one that is the most affected by the heat and had to go to Daisuke because he wasn't doing well.

But he is basically the glue to the Ginga franchise therefore he (of course) isn't forgotten

I'm glad Chibi is okay - I was kinda worried that bear we saw at the start of GDReq was gonna end up being him!
