Loves these !!

Random Shiki Headcanons

When they’re out in public, sometimes people will ask to take photos with them because they think they’re cosplaying. This especially happens to Manji, Takumo, Kojiro, Fourth and Kujaku

Out of the five aforementioned, four of them are the only ones who would agree. Everybody else would range from nah to fuck off.

Fourth is in the nah category and Six is in the fuck off category but they can be persuaded to join in by the others who would do it.

Everyone thinks Ikkaku and Korjiro are secretly a thing and no one believes them when they deny it.

Takumo owns several pet tarantulas and they probably have sweet names like Mochi, Doriyaki and Dango.

Manji desperately wants a pet but is worried to bring one home because of Six’s virus. Unfortunately Isou has refused to make a version of Six’s medicine specifically for animals.

If it weren’t for Six’s virus already stopping them, Isou would actually make it a rule that none of them are allowed pets. With well over a dozen people living in the same house, he’d be terrified the entire house would become overrun with animals before he knew it. He’d be especially scared to find out what Manji would bring home.

But what he doesn’t know is that Six is trying to make a version of his medicine that can be given to animals and is getting closer and closer to succeeding. He wants a pet snake.

Kujaku has everyone’s birthdays memorised, always plans something for each one and makes the rest of the group participate. Minus the birthday boy/gal. They’re kept in the dark about any planning because she always wants it to be a surprise.

Kojiro is more or less the same. The only ones he wouldn’t bother doing this for is Mei because he’s an asshole and Elf because he avoids him like the plague and only interacts with him if he has to.

Kojiro has multiple options for prostesics. His favourite is of course his tail but the does also have a pair of prosthetic legs to make it easier for him to get around on land.

Takumo, Six and Manji all have a steadily growing pile of plushies in their rooms and it’s thanks to Kojiro. Takumo has spider ones, Six has snake ones and Manji has all sorts of animals.

Jin will also get a pile of plushies the moment Kojiro finds out she likes cats.

Six will say it’s lame every time he receives one and hisses “shut up” at whoever points out he still keeps them.

In return, they’ve all given Kojiro shark plushies.

Ikkaku has also given him various shark memorabilia that he’s come across and made him think of him. He thinks by leaving them on Kojiro’s doorstep, he won’t know they’re from him but he knows.

He would have figured out they were from Ikkaku on his own but he knows for sure because Elf told him.

Elf is the worst snitch. He knows almost everything about everyone he infects. Including their secrets and loves to spill them. Especially to the people they want to keep their secrets from. He thinks it’s funny.

Mei, Isou, Six, Elf and possibly Mashiro as well all have an I’m surrounded by idiots moment at least once a day.

Six would never say it out loud but he does genuinely see most of his colleagues as his friends.

He sees Isou as a dad figure but not even the most extreme tortures would get that out of him.

Before joining Shiki, Six used to smoke (no point in trying to keep yourself healthy when you’re basically death itself) but Isou put a stop to that immediately.

Six sometimes steals the others alcohol. He’s never actually been drunk though. Or at least not that drunk. He just likes the taste of it.

He would drink with Ikkaku and Kojiro and often does but they won’t let him drink more than a single glass because Isou would murder them they think he’s too young to drink any more than that.

When Mei first joined the group, he couldn’t be bothered to learn everyone’s names. He made sure remember his employers names from the get go but as for mere colleagues, Six was Emo Kid, Kojiro was Shark Dumbass, Takumo was Spider Freak, Ikkaku was Muscle for Brains, Kujaku was Witch Lady and Forth was Old Man, Manji was Horned Idiot and Natsumi was just plain Narcissist.

Some of them have stuck. Six, Isou and Elf now also refer to Kojiro as Shark Dumbass and some of them still jokingly call forth Old Man but Mei called Kujaku Witch Lady to her face one time and ended up getting his ass beat in three seconds by ways Mei still can not comprehend. He did not know that being called a witch was a sore subject for her but he along with everyone else learned that very quickly.

Elf’s favourite nickname for Isou is Dad, in reference to the irony that despite hating kids, he’s taking care of three of them. Manji, Six and Tsu-in

Isou hates this nickname more than any of the others Elf has given him, which is why it’s Elf’s favourite.

Ikkaku and Kojiro have been joined at the hip since the moment they met but Kojiro started spending even more time with him Ikkaku told him he doesn’t trust anyone. He doesn’t know everything that’s happened to Ikkaku but he knows what it’s like to be harmed so much you feel like you can never trust another person again. By genuinely trying to be Ikkaku’s friend, he’s hoping he can help him heal.

Taura Twister and her significance as ‘observer’:

These are all just my own thoughts and speculations. I may have misremembered info or be completely wrong :) I apologise for how long it got as well.

Also I love her so much ahhh wifey

Very heavy spoilers in this one!

｡ﾟ•┈꒰ა ♡ ໒꒱┈• ｡ﾟ

I like to think that in any future works Futama releases relating to Nanbaka and answering its unanswered questions, Taura Twister would be a great viewpoint to portray these through. She plays such a significant role in the story, I feel she’s such an underrated character!

Mainly focusing on the role Mashiro gave her as ‘observer’ she’d be the perfect character to give true, unfiltered perspective on the final events in the manga. She’s supposedly a neutral characters within these events, and although her being affiliated with the Shiki may bring doubt to her genuinely being neutral, it’s expected that Futama would have established this role for her through the Shiki.

Realistically she would never have been able to through the Zodiac Police. They hold the sentiment of ‘getting the job done regardless of what gets in the way’ (which I feel is strongly expressed through the events of Jenny and Jemmi, one literally left the other to die to try and save herself, as well as letting a child die in crossfire rather than trying to save him; though the grey morality surrounding the Zodiac Police is a discussion for another day). If anything the Zodiac police would have probably manipulated her with her brother’s death into loathing the organisation and holding no mercy. There’s also no obvious way she would ever have been affiliated with Nanbaka - why would she be?

So naturally from a plot perspective the only other way she could be involved in the events of the story is through the Shiki - she was already aware of the organisation and held a tie with them now unlike Nanbaka.

Of course one could argue how reliable would one be if they are under the watch of the Shiki? I genuinely believe that Mashiro wanted her to have a purely neutral perspective. E.g, it was never explicitly stated or showed that she had been put under the control of Elf as the other Shiki members had been. Aka. he showed no intent on using her against Hiiro. He also explicitly states that she can decide her standing after having witnessed everything:

This may be far fetched but I believe his motive may stem from his recent discovery that his clones can go against him - such as with Hiiro. He knows he has competition which puts his position in potential danger. In the case that something happens to the him and say another clone has to take over his place he would need someone that he can trust to tell the clone the events which are happening truthfully.

It’s been made clear as with the case of Jyugo’s mother that after cloning it takes time for their memories to come back. If we presume that this is the case with all clones then Taura works as a living testament to all that has happened since her agreeing. She can re-encount everything that has happened thus far to the clone without bias, without leaving out information due to her beliefs on the situation since she is being made to have no standing to the events themselves.

Mashiro also shows a strong interest in her ability to see and be possessed by ghosts as a strong suit of her position as observer. Further reinforcing to me the idea that he genuinely wants her to just witness: he’s specifically chosen her based on her abilities and I doubt he would risk such a valuable asset in her being an observer by tainting her view.

I like to believe that her sudden entrance in the story towards the end and her continued prominence thereafter hints that Futama plans or at least planned to use her in some way to give a wider perspective on the final events in the manga. Futama established her as a neutral character and made it so that we’d be able to trust her perspective on the events. She works as a perfect witness to explain all the plot holes and questions within the later story. Although she was never shown present at the end of the manga, by the role she had been given we’d expect her to have witnessed it all. Hence why I believe she is such an important character to the lore.

The only thing which doesn’t make as much sense to me is how emotionally in tune she is with others. She holds a strong sense of responsibility and justice compared to other characters as seen by this panel:

(Side note but I absolutely adore how she was drawn in this).

This would appear to be a weakness in having her be the ‘observer’. She’s also seen to have gained emotional bonds within the Shiki such as with Kujaku and her desire to do ‘normal’ activities together such as shopping.

Overall though, I’m certainly hoping that in any future works Futama does on Nanbaka we’ll see her character again!

If you’ve read this far thanks for bearing with my rambling, hope you enjoyed reading.

[sleepless-garden]

Hello! I was wondering what got you into nanbaka in the first place? And when you first got into it?

(I started reading nanbaka around 4-5 years ago during quarantine and am curious to see if there are any long time nanbaka fans like me lol)

I think 1 year ago…and the reason was it getting recommended to be :3 but when I finished the anime I was very happy to be able to read the manga :3

[sleepless-garden]

ummm uhhh how do you feel about elf and six since you love tsu-in so much ?

Elf is interesting and he’s super silly but I still hate him :p

Six is one of my favorites he’s super silly :3 I need his lore or I’m gonna go insane :3333

IKKAKU HCS

୨ㅤ࣪ㅤ︶︶︶︶ㅤㅤ꒰୨ ୧꒱ㅤㅤ︶︶︶︶ㅤ࣪ㅤ୧

general hcs for Ikkaku (nanbaka)

warnings: nanbaka manga spoilers! also.. might be a little ooc..

author's note: i love you ikkaku i love you ikkaku i love you ikkaku i love you ikkaku i love you ikkaku i love you ikkaku i love you ikkaku i love you ikkaku

my first time writing hcs.. [gulps]

୨ㅤ࣪ㅤ︶︶︶︶ㅤㅤ꒰୨ ୧꒱ㅤㅤ︶︶︶︶ㅤ࣪ㅤ୧

Some manga spoilers !!

His hair is fried. Period. It quite literally stands up on its own and even has little lightning shapes, humbly this man needs to condition the shit outta of his hair. His hair hates to see him using his powers.

When thinking of ideas for tattoos, he has a little sketchbook for carrying around tattoo designs he thinks of (usually in his cave where Kojiro finds him hiding out a lot). Ikkaku especially does this when he needs a break from the rest of the Shiki members.

Despite Ikkaku’s “rude” way of speaking, Ikkaku is stupidly smart. We have seen this with him purposefully limiting his power to sneak “under the radar” when he went to Nanba prison! (He’s just a little.. dumb)

Cannot stand shirts. 💀 Brody already has a tough time with putting pants, he is NOT putting on a shirt.

Hypothetically, if he put on one of those button-up shirts, they would just pop tf open. Or they would be straining for their LIVES

On that note, he think he looks COOL. Gets bothered when the rest of the Shiki members (mostly Mei) tell him to put something else on. Let the man get his fashion era on

At this point, the local sake store employees know this man’s order by heart. he will singlehandedly keep all the sake stores in the area in business along with Kojiro who drinks with him 😭

LOVES to annoy the absolute fuck out of Isou, though he likes to bicker with everyone. Bickering is his favorite activity when he’s at the base

That reminds me, he LOVES playing devil’s advocate. This man loves to argue, fight, he eats it up EVERYTIME

Speaking of fighting, this man is BORED. He would be the type to go out and fight someone just for the sake of fighting 💀 Ikkaku is clutching onto Musashi and Uoza, giggling and kicking his feet as he remembers their fights and power

When he fights, I’m sorry but he doesn’t care if you’re a girl, boy, they, or whatever. He’s gonna DESTROY you with the same amount of force as he fights with everyone else. He thinks it’s stupid to hold back just because of someone’s gender 🤧

Despite his initial “I hate everyone” attitude, he really cares for the people he admires and considers a friend. Example, Kojiro. It really upset Ikkaku to see someone who he had become close friends with get taken advantage by the Man with the Scar and Elf, so he had to step in and remind his buddy Kojiro not to follow Elf’s way.

Following that tangent, Ikkaku wants freedom which is why he is so adamant on freeing himself and possibly others with powers (if they follow) from not only Nanba prison but also Shiki. (Though he still very much wants revenge on the Man with the Scar)

Ikkaku, despite the rocky start with how his powers came to be, enjoys and indulges in his power, unlike Musashi (a nice parallel between the two). Ikkaku is not afraid or ashamed of his powers and condemns Musashi for feeling that way. Ikkaku sees his power as a sign of strength and a tool to be used to prevent himself from feeling chained.

With the little information we got on Ikkaku’s backstory, other than the fact he was in the military when he was younger (he looks younger in the manga panels). I feel as though Ikkaku had been treated like a weapon similar to his treatment as an adult, a feeling which he despised and went rogue on, LIKE Ikkaku running and separating himself from Shiki in present Nanbaka.

On a lighter note, he does not care about his appearance whatsoever. He didn’t care when Shin complimented his face 😮‍💨 he does not see the appeal in his appearance (which is a shame because HE’S SO HOT)

When there’s no sake, Ikkaku will resort to melon soda. Can crush the soda can in one hand 🤭

He is VERY precise when giving tattoos. Will not look up unless it is DONE. He takes his tattoos with pride and you know damn well they are gonna look good after he’s done.

Probably gave Kojiro a shark tattoo, or was tempted to when he heard Kojiro talking about a possible tattoo of his sharks.

Will claim with all of his heart, that crocodile doesn’t taste like chicken

Sometimes Ikkaku has to go out and hunt crocodiles because he gets a craving 🤧 (poor lil’ guy) he would fight the croc with bare hands to show who’s superior

Very flexible, use this information as you will.

Has different ear piercings! I feel like he would be the type to “test his strength” by getting piercings that are supposed to hurt the “most”.

Will refuse to put on any shoes. Like the shirt situation, he doesn’t like the way it feels 😭He MIGHT put on sandals if he is pestered enough. He would be complaining the whole time though (but he has his little toe ring sock thing going on)

So I lied, he cares a LITTLE BIT about his appearance, his muscles. He will show off his biceps and abs each time (maybe even flexes them a bit.. Idk 😍)

Will purposefully sharpen his nails so they resemble claws. LMAO he thinks it looks cool

Strangely smells like melons🧐

The type to have a oddly clean room with like barely any decorations 😭 (someone give this man some posters at least)
