That seems to be what I specialize in: Acquiring new ideas from small, slightly insignificant things. And those ideas being ironically quite big for what inspired them.

Judgement itself is based on about 2 things: the "More Than Just A Tournament" trope, and Dissidia FF's concept. I was reading TvTropes, and saw the trope, and then realized how every single time there's a tournament in a show, it has almost nothing to do with the actual plot other than being an excuse for battles that may or may not be worth it.

And how every tournament always had around it some conspiracy, big bad plan, or something like that. Then I thought "what if, for once, it was just a tournament?" and Judgement was born. Then I solidified the concept, added elements from Dissidia (The Chaoses and Orders, and the fight between 2 of them with their chosen warriors taken from who-knows-where), and 1 thing from Fate/EXTRA (1 week before each fight).

The characters themselves, I based them to different points on many things. 1 is based on Persona 3+4, another one on Raven Brawnen, another one in how I wished Kirito from SAO was, another one in Kalista from League of Legends, another one in Lightning (FF13)+Infinity Sword Elsword from...Elsword....in fact, I think only about 2 or 3 of my characters are actually original and not based on anything.

As for the concept, I just thought of a way for me to do whatever the heck I wanted without limits. And so the Espers and Esperials were born, along with the Multiverse part.
