PE Proposal: Gaku Yashiro
This proposal only concerns the original manga version of Yashiro, the anime and live-action adaptations of the character are different enough to likely not qualify in the same way as the original iteration of the character.
Among my proposal remakes, this is probably the one I've been wanting to do for the longest, as I am a big fan of ERASED. I was already familiar with the series beforehand but a lot of my knowledge was from the anime, which is known to have changed a number of things, including the ending. The main villain, Yashiro, I've always felt was a really scary example of a sociopath, and the manga version is much worse in a lot of ways, so I'm here propose that version specifically. And if anyone is curious, the reason the anime …
PE Proposal: Quinella
This is definitely the largest remake of a deleted PE proposal I've done so far, Quinella from Sword Art Online. This was a series that really pleasantly surprised me, it definitely has a super mixed reception, some love and others think it it's very flawed. Some of it was pretty... not great, but by the time I reached season three, which is where Quinella appears, it felt it was when the series got really interesting due to how high concept the series became. But as a whole, I found Quinella to be a really good example of a complex villain who still ultimately is PE.

PE Proposal: Krivzha
I mentioned in my previous proposal how remaking deleted proposals allows me to find hidden candidates in works I wouldn't even normally consume, and this definitely rings true with the Russian animated film Prince Vladimir. This movie has some of the most interesting animation I've seen in a while, and while it's mostly featuring real historical figures, the primary addition is the main villain of the film, the priest Krivzha.

PE Proposal: Henry Ravenswood
One of my favorite things about remaking deleted proposals has been finding these interesting hidden candidates from works you wouldn't ever expect to have a PE character. Case in point, this one is from a Disney theme park attraction, Henry Ravenswood from Disneyland Paris' Phantom Manor ride.

In 2019, it underwent a significant refurbishment which updated the ride and gave more background to …
PE Proposal: Mallus
My quest to finish remaking PE proposals continues, being a huge superhero fan I saw that one of the proposals was for a villain from season three of DC's Legends of Tomorrow. I hadn't really gotten into the Arrowverse before so this gave me a pretty good reason to start, and I quite enjoyed it despite how absurd it often can be. Mallus in particular is one of the darkest villains in the show due to his lack of hammy or over the top evil moments, and I definitely agree that he has a good shot at qualifying as PE.
