BASICS
Name: Junpei Yoshino
Nickname(s): TBA
Age: 17
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 165 lbs
Species: Human
Sex and pronouns: Male, he/him
Birthday: May 4th
Orientation: Bisexual
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
Junpei is a thin young man with green eyes and brown hair that reached to his shoulders. His side parting let a large portion of his bangs cover the right side of his face. This helped to cover the scars he received from his bullies.
He wears a purple and pink striped t-shirt or a simple white t-shirt with a green rectangle printed on the front. He also wore a pair of calf length olive green pants and off-white sneakers with black laces and golden soles and toes.
PERSONALITY
Junpei is a reserved and apathetic individual with a distaste for other people. He has very negative views of people and society as a whole. If there existed a button that would kill everyone he hates, he wouldn't press it. However, if there was a button that would kill everyone who hated him, he'd press it without hesitation. He claims that he feels indifferent towards people and believes that it's no worse than hating them.
Junpei's indifferent towards other humans because he expects them to be evil, so even people's deaths don't seem to affect him. This is due to all the trauma he received from being bullied and rejected in his life. He has always been a recluse, but Junpei loves movies and tried to start his own club at school. It was unfortunately taken over by bullies who burned Junpei while nobody did anything to help him or reprimand his assaulters.
Despite being a normal student, Junpei's dejected attitude made him easy for Mahito to manipulate. Mahito fed into Junpei's darkness and encouraged him to take his indifference a step further into hate and revenge. This resulted in a shortsightedness that made Junpei unable to see Mahito for what he truly was.
Yuji, someone else who is around Junpei's age who's interested in movies, became one of Junpei's only friends. Even after Junpei had rejected all those around him, Yuji was able to begin to bring Junpei out of his troubled mindset.
CURSED TECHNIQUE
Overall Skill Level: Prior to meeting Mahito, Junpei was weak. He was an average non-sorcerer who was constantly picked on and bullied. Mahito altered Junpei and turned him into a sorcerer, allowing Junpei to get his revenge. To his peers, it looked as if Junpei gained psychic powers they could not perceive. They were unable to view Junpei's jujutsu and Shota Ito suffered a wrath he couldn't even see. Junpei gained the ability to summon a fairly strong shikigami. This allowed him to even put up a fight against Yuji, who was a relatively new sorcerer at the time.
Basic Cursed Energy: Junpei was born with enough innate talent to be able to see curses, but his brain was not meant to be a sorcerer. He was able to see Mahito, which eventually lead to the cursed spirit slightly transforming Junpei's brain enough to learn jujutsu. This granted him the ability to harness enough cursed energy to conjure a shikigami of considerable strength using his hair as a medium.
Moon Dregs (澱 (おり) 月 (づき) Orizuki?): A large jelly-fish like shikigami capable of paralyzing targets with a unique poison that covers the skin in black spots that burn the victim as if they were being stung. Moon Dregs also has a pair of spiked stingers that can pierce through flesh.
BACKSTORY
Junpei's father and mother are divorced, he was raised by his mother and had a pretty standard upbringing. However, he was bullied by several of his school mates. In one such instance, the end result caused him to end up with cigarette burn scars on his forehead.
Being bullied throughout his schooling, Junpei grew tired. Anger brewed deeply into his being, leading him to come in contact with Mahito, who lead him down a dark path. He altered Junpei's brain in order for him to develop cursed energy. Already born with the innate talent to become a sorcerer, Junpei developed a quite strong technique. From there, Junpei foolishly complied with the lies fed to him by Mahito; that another student was one of the people who may have cursed his mother. Junpei believed that it may have been his bully from school, and decided to confront him about it.
(AU) -- A sorcerer who belonged to Tokyo Jujutsu Tech was able to arrive on scene before there was a massacre. They talked Junpei out of committing to his anger, rage, sadness, anything under the sun, and taking it out on innocent lives. With deep regrets, Junpei spiraled into severe depression. But with the help of the people who finally accepted him, he (slowly) built up the strength to keep on living.
TRIVIA
Junpei started a film appreciation club with two of his friends during his first year of high school.
Junpei stopped going to school by his second year.
Junpei’s dislike for his mother’s smoking is likely rooted in his bullies’ habit of putting out cigarettes against his forehead. It may also be out of a concern for her health. (Both)
According to Jujutsu Kaisen Official Fanbook:
His hobby is watching movies.
Favorite dish: Crab omelet on rice.
Least favorite dish: Herring roe.
Cause of stress: School
Junpei's surname has the kanji for "good luck" (吉, yoshi) and "field, wilderness" (野, no). His given name has the kanji for "order, sequence, obedience" (順, jun) and "ordinary, mediocre, simple" (平, pei).

I was gonna wait until I designed his Persona but I'm impatient and and want you all to meet my new special little guy, Ryuuki! His Arcana is the Tamed Lion, an alternate version of the Strength Arcana.
🔽Bio Below!🔽
Ryuuki Toyama - The Tamed Lion
15-16 (P3), 16 (P3:EA), 18 (P4AU)
September 14th, 1993
5'4" (P3), 5'6" (P4AU)
Sword + Dagger (Slash Damage)
Telemachus, Apollo
In December 2005, Ryuuki's parents mysteriously vanished without a trace from their house one night, leaving 12 year old Ryuuki alone. The boy was bounced around for a bit before ending up with his aunt and uncle, a couple that already had too many children, in mid 2006. Ryuuki jumped at the opportunity to leave that house when presented with the opportunity to stay in the SEES dorm, and awakened his Persona not long after.
A popular first year student at Gekkoukan High and member of both SEES and the Kendo team. He joined in early 2007, after being attacked by a Shadow and saved by Mitsuru, Akihiko, and Shinjiro. His Initial Persona is Telemachus, which specializes in Nuclear, Pierce, and Debuff Skills. Telemachus evolves into Apollo.
Ryuuki is bright, cheerful, and always helpful, to the point where it sometimes annoys his classmates and teammates, notably Junpei, who gets notably frustrated whenever Ryuuki gives him pointers. He despises not being around people and gets antsy when alone for too long. For this reason, he shares a room with Shinjiro, or used to, at the very least.
Much like Akihiko, he has his own fan club. It really bothers him and he largely ignores them.
Grades average at 80%, even with frequent studying. Gets really frustrated with himself over that; He's the only person in the dorm who Mitsuru doesn't try to push perfection on.
Struggles with self-worth issues and has no clue what he wants to do with himself in the future.
Constantly needs reassurance that he belongs where he is. Praise is like a drug to him.
Forgets to feed himself sometimes and will end up raiding the fridge in the middle of the night; Shinjiro used to freeze extra leftovers and left them for him.
Despite the obvious mental health issues, his "ray of sunshine" behavior is genuine.

Hazuki Kashiwabara (Aka. Lotus)
Weight: 687lbs (311.6kgs)
Bio: Ending: True Ending
With the success of getting out of Building Q hosting the Nonary Game with Junpei, Clover, Snake, Ace, and Seven, Lotus decided to go back to her programming job. It was a rather sedentary lifestyle, however, and this causes her to gain significant amounts of weight in no time at all. Later on, though, a rather rotund, orange-haired woman in glasses and a revealing outfit said she was a candidate for being a protector of the multiverse. After a few days of talking and thinking it over, the belly dancer accepted the other belly dancer's invitation to join the roster.

BACKGROUND:
Chiyo Yoshida was born into a normal family in the quiet suburbs around Tokyo. She's been able to see curses from a young age, but never managed to unlock her latent cursed energy and abilities on her own. Her parents died in a car accident when she was very young, and she grew up with her grandmother as a result.
Chiyo lived a normal but rather lonely life up until the events of the story. She wasn't bullied in school, but she didn't have any close friends, preferring to spend her time alone reading or with her cat, Momo. She learned quickly to avoid cursed spirits, even learning they'd leave her alone if she didn't see them, with her taking her glasses off and walking past immediately if she spotted one. She also never told anyone about her ability to see curses, not wanting to be ostracized more by her peers.
A few months before Yuji Itadori became a student at Jujutsu High, misfortune befell Chiyo. She had a chance encounter with the cursed spirit Mahito as they passed each other on the street, and he became fascinated with the shape of her soul. He was a curse born from the hatred and fear of humans towards other humans, and he saw that she held no malice in her soul towards other human beings. She was initially friendly to him as she was to everyone, until she realized he was not a human, but a cursed spirit, one capable of communicating with her, something she'd never encountered before. She became extremely fearful, almost running from him.
Mahito stalked the girl before eventually kidnapping her, bringing her to his home in the sewers. He genuinely likes her in his own strange, Mahito-esque way, so he leaves her grandmother and her cat while abducting her from her home, not wanting her to dislike him for killing her loved ones. He also accidentally breaks her glasses in the struggle, so he uses his Idle Transfiguration to fix her eyes. He also shows her how easily he can kill humans, transfiguring one in front of her in order to encourage her from leaving. She is understandably terrified, and agrees to his demands to stay with him and become his girlfriend, with everything that entails.
Eventually, Mahito also unlocks her latent abilities as a curse user, for her own protection after an incident in the sewers(what happens to the old man in the sewers in Chapter 3 of the JJK light novel). Her innate technique is the ability to create physical barriers, known as shields, made of cursed energy.
(TW FOR DUBCON AND SEXUAL COERCION/VIOLENCE HERE!!!)
Mahito is extremely manipulative to Chiyo, falsely telling her that if she ever leaves, he will take other women as his romantic prospects in her place if he can't have her. This is untrue, he has no interest in any human women outside of her, but he quickly learns her kind nature can be used to his own ends. He also very quickly coerces her into sex, being extremely abusive towards her in that aspect as well, often forcing her into things she would not be okay with normally. He is able to manipulate her into believing she enjoys it at least sometimes, and into believing that she cares about him in some aspect too.
Chiyo becomes quite close to Junpei during their extremely short time together, though she is very worried for him with the things he says about humanity. Mahito manipulates her into believing the jujustu sorcerers killed Junpei, not him, and it makes her determined to become stronger, so she can help protect him and the other curses at Shibuya.
While Kento Nanami is down in the sewers hunting Mahito, he instead stumbles upon a terrified Chiyo, hiding from him. He's able to quickly deduce she's being kept down there against her will, and tries to convince her to leave with him, but she refuses. She is too afraid of what Mahito will to do him or to other humans if she leaves, and doesn't want anyone to get hurt because of her. She uses her shields to prevent Nanami from reaching her, and instead asks him to help her by checking up on her grandmother and cat, before running away. Neither he nor Takuma Ino, Nanami's mentee, are able to find her again in the sewers.
Kento enlists the help of Kiyotaka Ijichi and Urami Yamikiri(OC, third-year teacher at Jujutsu High and former classmate of Kento's) to check Chiyo's house. They arrive to find her cat Momo is still alive and well, but the girl's elderly grandmother died peacefully in her sleep earlier that morning. Urami takes the cat to take care of him on the girl's behalf, and the group hopes they can rescue Chiyo. The group also agrees to not tell Satoru Gojo or Yuji Itadori about the girl's existence, worried the two could potentially endanger themselves or her by going after her.
Mahito does not allow Chiyo to assist in the assault on Jujutsu High, too worried over his pet potentially getting hurt, or the sorcerers manipulating her into joining their cause(he's very familiar with how quickly Yuji was able to do so with Junpei). However, before the assault, he discusses helping her train to become stronger with Kenjaku, and it's he who suggests that Mahito brings her a cursed tool to use, since her innate technique is more geared toward defense.
While Mahito is stealing Sukuna’s fingers from Jujutsu High, he also finds the cursed tome that he gives to Chiyo as a weapon. It belonged to a sorcerer from the Heian era who was killed by Sukuna, and is imbued with his latent cursed energy, making it a powerful tool. However, every page is written in a unique code only known to the sorcerer, making it difficult to use if the user isn't good at solving ciphers. However, Mahito senses something in the tome that reminds him of Chiyo’s cursed energy, and decides to bring it to her. She finds she is able to understand it quite easily, and while she’s far from mastering it by the time of Shibuya, she becomes fairly proficient in some of the spells by the events of the Incident a month after acquiring it.
Chiyo also becomes friends of sorts with Choso, being the only person in the room to apologize for his loss and sympathize with him following his brothers' deaths. Mahito often delegates training Chiyo to Choso, and he is pleased by his allies getting along.
Chiyo is present at the events that transpire between Mahito and Mechamaru, and is visibly upset at the fight.
During the events of the Shibuya Incident, Chiyo remains with Mahito for the majority of the evening. She arrives at B5 with him via train, upset at the loss of life already. She's also visibly upset at Hanami's exorcising, having been one of the cursed spirits she was slightly closer to. She watches Satoru Gojo, confused, as the strongest jujutsu sorcerer alive looks nothing like how she expected. Unbeknownst to her, Satoru is fully aware of who she is, having read Nanami and Urami's report on the incident in the sewers for once, since it was tied to the cursed spirits he'd been interested in.
Like everyone else, she is immobilized by Gojo's Infinite Void domain, but she's able to snap out of it mentally fairly quickly after, comparatively speaking. Though she cannot move her body during the events of Gojo's sealing in the Prison Realm, she witnesses the event in its entirety, and loses all hope of escape after witnessing the strongest sorcerer being defeated.
Mahito drags her along while searching for Yuji Itadori, and the two encounter Urami Yamikiri and briefly fight. Urami manages to tell the girl that her grandma passed away peacefully and her cat Momo is being taken care of, but at this point, Chiyo has all but completely lost her will to do anything but accept her reality. She doesn't attack Urami directly, but she shields Mahito from the sorcerer's assault, leading her to make a tactical retreat for backup. Mahito considers pursuing her, but Chiyo, trying to distract him, reminds him of his goal to find Yuji Itadori, unaware that Choso has already done so.
She is with Mahito when Kento Nanami walks by, gravely injured. She does not recognize him at first, but as Mahito's interest is piqued, and he drags her to watch the man fight off the mass of transfigured humans, she becomes sick to her stomach as she realizes it's the same man who tried to help her. She begs Mahito not to kill him, but it's in vain.
She has a mental breakdown and dissociates/enters a fugue state after Nanami's death, being lugged around by Mahito for the beginnings of his and Yuji's final showdown(to Yuji's confusion, though he's too angry to question her presence at first). She vaguely realizes, during Mahito's Junpei handpuppet moment, that Mahito lied to her, and he was the one who killed Junpei, and that doesn't help her mental state.
Chiyo only regains full consciousness after Nobara Kugisaki is hit with Mahito's Idle Transfiguration. An anger unlike anything she's ever known wells up in her, and as Aoi Todo and Arata Nitta arrive, she becomes emboldened. She no longer fears Mahito more than she desires to stop him from killing anyone else, and she joins the fight against him when Yuji rejoins, with Mahito giddy with glee at finally having made her angry enough to kill.
Chiyo is already aware of Yuji's fighting style, thanks to Mahito telling her and her witnessing him and Yuji fight, but even though she's new to combat and knows little about Aoi Todo's fighting style or technique, she's able to find a good rhythm with the two boys, attacking Mahito randomly after a Boogie Woogie or using her shields to defend the boys against him. She's not nearly as physically strong as the two, but she's able to amplify her attacks using a technique from her cursed tome.
Chiyo is not super familiar with domain expansions, and is unable to prevent Aoi Todo's hand from being lost, though she stays behind with him to heal him as Yuji continues to fight Mahito with the last of her energy, being spent from her first real fight. She watches Aoi trick Mahito so Yuji can hit him with a final black flash, and she watches as Yuji prepares to kill him. Mahito, finally fearing death, looks to Chiyo, pleading her silently to save him, but he is shocked to see her expression just as vacant and blank as Yuji's.
She's shocked to see the man piloting Suguru Geto's corpse arrive in time to absorb and swallow Mahito. She watches as more allies arrive but are ultimately powerless to stop him and Uraume from leaving and beginning the Culling Games.
After the two leave, Chiyo is completely drained both mentally and physically, and as the events of the night begin to sink in, she breaks down, dissolving into tears until she eventually passes out from exhaustion. Urami takes her home and lets her rest, while getting a full recap of everything that happened to the girl the next day after she's rested.
Because of Urami's standing in the community and Chiyo's being forced into working for the cursed spirits, she is granted clemency in the aftermath of the Shibuya Incident, and with her skill level and age, is put into second-year class, meeting her fellow classmates while they're recovering in the infirmary.
AND IM ANIME ONLY SO THATS ALL I GOT FOR NOW LMFAO

HELP your time travel shenanigans fic idea about toji being very much alive but still putting the fate of his two little ass kids in the hands of a bunch of 16-17 year olds even if he’s still breathing. if i was megumi then my abandonment issues would’ve gone crazy if that happened to me 😭. mamaguro is looking down from the pearly white gates IN ANGER at toji’s audacity i just know it.
but now i’m curious on other ideas (that you have) for fics about jjk that you may or may not get to after sea glass gardens.
see the sad thing is that letting a bunch of 16-17 year old bitchy disaster gays discover the magic of teen parenthood is actually a step up because he had already sold Megumi to the Zenin and feral wolverines would be a better alternative to them. This was the best parenting decision toji has ever made.
(Time travel!Megumi: look we don’t have any other options. Anything is better than the Zenin.
Gojo, in the distance: they’re what three? That’s old enough for a red bull
Geto: I will actually kill you over this satoru
Time travel!megumi: *deep breath*)
A loose catalogue of my jjk fics, which may or may not exist one day:
Sea glass gardens verse:
I am forever compelled by the siren call of expanding my fics into universes because one story is never enough for me. I’ve got threeish stories in this universe, with no promises of how many, if any, I’ll write.
1. The Teen Parenting Chronicles: Gojo, Nanami, and Shoko’s expert guide to raising children when you are, in fact, children. Featuring what the fuck happened with the Zenin the first time around.
2. Megumi’s pov of what just happened leading up to sea glass gardens: someone asked me if I’d ever write this and it has the highest chance of existing because I have. Sort of. Started writing it. I have impulse control issues.
3. Okkotsu Yuuta and the world’s longest distance panic attack: crack fic of Yuuta on his study abroad trip becoming increasingly more frantic at the other second year’s updates as to how His Boy’s first year as a jujutsu sorcerer is going. What do you mean sukunas there. What do you mean he doesn’t have a shirt. Well put one on him!
Time travel AU:
1. The Time Traveler’s Guide to Fucking Shit Up And Living Well: following another attempt on their lives by the higher ups, the first year gang is forced into a desperate, high stakes gamble with a time-centric curse that puts their very existences at stake. If they want to survive, they have to complete one task of their choosing in the past before the clock runs out. Their mission?
To punch fushiguros shitty bio dad in the face, something which will surely have no long term consequences on the timeline.
See this one has the most chance of actually existing one day because it is by far my FAVORITE jjk fic I have. It even beats out sea glass gardens. I desperately want to write it.
2. The 2006 Gang and the Art of a Good Union: following a confusing incident with the star plasma vessel and three unknown sorcerers, the 2006 Tokyo jujutsu high first and second year class inexplicably goes off the rails and retires from jujutsu sorcery, claiming that they’ve discovered the magic of teen parenthood and can in no way risk themselves in such a dangerous profession now that they have kids to think about. At least, not with the way things are run now.
No one knows where they got the children from.
3. Toji Fushiguro and the Dead Beat Dad Chronicles: in which toji fushiguro succeeds at being a dead beat baby daddy to two teenaged gay boys and their crew of bitchy lgbtq compadres, who in no way want him to be involved in their children’s lives.
Standalones:
1. “Fushiguro is unleashed in junpei’s school like an invasive superpredator” AU: I’ve talked about this one in way more detail in another post for an ask game, but the idea is that itadori discovers junpeis abuse at school and says Not On His Fucking Watch and escalates the matter to gojo, who decides the funniest possible solution while they try to draw out mahito is to unleash his all star delinquent son into junpeis high school to bully the bullies.
Fushiguro resents this as a problem solving strategy.
2. The Zenin raise Megumi AU: also discussed in more detail in an ask game. In which people took Tsumiki’s little brother from her, but she’s trying to get him back, she promises.
Or, in which the Zenin take megumi, leave tsumiki, and they both spend every day after fighting to get back to the other.
3. Sort of a no curse AU: Itafushi romance story, in which local himbo Itadori Yuuji falls for delinquent Fushiguro Megumi when his grandpa is placed in the room next to Fushiguros comatose sister. Starts as a no curse AU… except there’s totally curses, Tsumikis mom just moved them to Sendai without telling anyone so the Zenin never found Megumi, and he’s just never told anyone about the curses he sees because he’s worried he’s schizophrenic. He thought the shikigami thing was a metaphor for self actualization or something.
4. Fushiguro Megumi and the World’s Most Inconvenient Custody Battle: pre JJK0, Geto decides to be a shithead magic terrorist at a local school that represents all the worst of monkey society: it’s known for a rampant bullying issue, which is a breeding ground for cursed spirits, and it contributes to the risk to jujutsu sorcerers by feeding a local legend of a haunted bridge that could explode into a serious curse any day.
What he didn’t count on? Finding the new Ten Shadows in the student body, who’s fully willing to kamikaze them both if it means saving his sister’s life.
And who doesn’t seem to be aware that he more than has the potential to take suguru in a fight.
In which Fushiguro just wanted to shut up, go to school, and go home, and instead finds himself in a binding vow to give cult life a whirl to save the lives of classmates he doesn’t even like all that much.
It involves oddly more parenting than he expected.
5. Fake Fiancés AU: prodigy and noble prize winning physicist Gojo Satoru, following a very ill advised fuck buddies arrangement with fushiguro toji, has settled down into domestic bliss with the two kids he took from the relationship despite them not, in any way, being related to him. The problem? His ex is back in town. The hot one. The one who broke up with him and started a cult. The one who he wants to convince he got over when he absolutely did not do that.
The solution? Tell everyone he’s happily engaged to Nanami Kento, who cannot express enough how much he does not want him to do that.
… until, all of a sudden, he needs a show of domestic bliss himself. His adoptive son’s older brother, sukuna, has crawled out of the woodwork and decided to make a play for custody himself. And Nanami does not know what Sukuna truly wants, but he knows it does not have Yuuji’s best interests at heart.
I share custody of this story with my best friend, who cocreated it with me over deranged text message. I may convince her to joint write it with me if I ever get her to publish her fanfic.
6. Todo Aoi and Schrodinger’s Boyfriend: Todo’s beloved brother, who is most assuredly a man, suffers some kind of terrible brain damage that leads him to confess he loves an assless boy. Todo cannot abide by this, until it’s pointed out to him that if Fushiguro’s type is his brother, that would make him the most interesting man alive. If it is not, he continues to be a boring and uninteresting boy.
Todo sets off on a mission with two goals: determine if fushiguro megumi is interesting, and get him to do some squats. because there’s simply no ass there.
Fushiguro wonders why his life is suddenly harder.
7. Choso and the Art of Being a Big Brother: choso discovers the truth of kenjaku early and does the only logical thing in response: he kills his father in his sleep, cuts out his brain, and delivers it in a jar to his new brother Itadori Yuuji as the first step in wooing him into domestic sibling love.
Megumi doesn’t know where these people come from. Or why all of them think itadori is their brother.
8. SatoSugu realizes their little boy is all grown up when he gets his first crush on a boy when he meets yuuji.
They do not fucking take it with grace.
Also co-written with my best friend via text message.
9. The instagram chronicles: crack fic in which the jujutsu sorcery personnel crisis gets worse, because nobara Kugisaki keeps trying to hard launch her instagram influencer career, and keeps accidentally making every jujutsu sorcerer instagram famous except for her
10. So I don’t actually ship Yuuta and Megumi, but I do really like the idea of low stakes relationships? Like, especially for teen romances. You tried it, decided you were better off as friends, and just went back to being friends. I just like the idea of fumbling around in relationships and getting a sense of boundaries and what you’re interested in without it being a big, world-shaking romance. It seems like a more realistic portrayal of high school relationships than every one of them being this world-defining mature love.
Pre season 1 but post JJK 0, Yuuta and Megumi dated for maybe a month and half, held hands maybe twice, and decided that they were better off as friends and parted on good terms. The issue?
No one realized they were dating. And when it is realized, everyone thinks their relationship was torpedoed because the second years kept inviting themselves onto their dates.
Cue the jjk high school students trying to amend old mistakes and get Yuuta and Megumi back together, who do not, in fact, want to be back together. Headlining Inumaki Toge, who is half in love with Yuuta and does not know why he’s helping get him together with someone else, and Itadori Yuuji, who is half in love with Megumi and also does not know why he’s helping get him together with someone else.
#I want to go on record that fushiguro expertly crafted a binding vow to get out of that time travel thing and the task was going to be ‘try#that ramen place that closed down before we could’ until yuuji said ‘haha fushiguro why don’t we go punch your shitty bio dad in the face’#and now they’re doing this he guesses#Yuuji didn’t think it would activate like that okay#it was mostly an accident but also he really fucking hates megumis dad#he’s cultivated seething resentment towards him since Megumi in an act of rare vulnerability confessed that his dad sold him to the Zenin as#a kid and that’s why gojo has custody#he. really wants to punch that guy. he REALLY wants to punch him.#the time travel AU exists in parallel with sea glass gardens#sea glass gardens is its backstory but it’s not an official continuation of that makes sense#it’s an AU of my own AU if that makes sense

I just hope we don’t have to wait too long till we get the rest of the Hundred Line character bios/names. I am very interested to learn more about pumpkin head and mechanic Angie lookalike.
Yeah, considering most anticipated games of this year has been delayed to have more time to cook in the oven makes me worried that the English dub won’t come out in another months. But I can’t wait since my birthday is in the summer!
As for the rest of the students: they look fine but not too outlandish when compared to Darumi. While some of them are a bid out there, But I have some thoughts.
Also I’ll be giving them some nicknames since we haven’t have their names revealed to us yet:
Tomato head: She just screams suspicious, considering while the rest of the students look pretty simple she looks more military-based and is far away from the students in the promotional art. The tomato head doesn’t help matters since she keeps it on even on the battlefield. Maybe, she is knowing something about the aliens that’s he is keeping secret or she was scarred horribly by the aliens during her first battle.
I betting her name is going Junko just like there was a character in Rain Code whose name was Makoto. As for personality, she would possibly be their serious and deadpan character of the bunch or like Junko would be the trolling jerk expect without the world-destroying plans.
Small round child with bear cap: It basically Ryoma but a child not an adult to and has kindergarten clothing on him. Looks like comic relief. Possibly the youngest of the cast like Himiko from V3.
One of his (few) dialogue in the TGS demo is him mentioning him being an idiot so maybe he has self-esteem issues.
Boy with eyepatch: He looks so unhinged and basically what people think a Danganronpa OC is. Judging from one of the bad ends where he stabs penguin boy with his knife only proves my point. He wears traditional Japanese clothing, so maybe he comes from an old family with huge roots or just wears it for fun?
The eyepatch is noticeable. Maybe, he got stabbed by somebody in the past and went crazy.
Samurai girl: She has a stern air towards her. Like eyepatch: she is wearing traditional Japanese clothing, so she much come a pretty old family. Wondering how she end up in a residential complex. Speculating that her and eyepatch boy are rivals from different families and hate each other with a passion.
Also, something I noticed is that on her sword is a cut little bunny sticker. Maybe, she is a big secret fan of kawaii?
Pigtail huge girl: She looks so chipper!!!!
Mechanic Gal: Aside looking a bit like Angie, she looks good. She begins to remind of Aoi thanks to their facial features.
Penguin boy with blue cap: He seems very panicky. He reminds me of Junpei from the Persona series expect more unhinged and annoying.
In the Nintendo direct, he pulls a machine gun to mow down enemies like a badass.

How would you rewrite Junpei and Izumi?
Hi Anon~. Sorry for being late. In truth I’m being late with almost anything you have requested or asked me about because……….I’ve been sinking into the sea of a game and it has been occupying the free time my mind can spend without studying lmaooooo. Anyway, I had written a draft so I’ve corrected it. I hope it’s decent as an answer! I have got so many feelings about a possible rewriting for them🥺. Sometimes I really feel like they are the characters the writers care about the least. BUT DON’T WORRY! I’M HERE, BBIES!
Hm, important note, I won’t really talk about the evolutions because I’m not even a big fan of the evolutions coming after the ones they own. Deepest wish is for them to have a fusion🤫 but that’s another story💕💕.
- I would give them a family bg because that’s the first alarm giving me the impression the writers just didn’t care about them. They are the first characters in the whole Digimon franchise history who don’t have an explained family bg and this breaks my heart, because knowing about a character’s family is useful to understand so many aspects of that character. I would have been okay if Junpei’s parents had never been shown, though. At this point you must know his bios have convinced me this boy either lives with an aunt and uncle or with his grandparents.
- Izumi’s problems with her classmates have to be rebuilt and rewritten completely. I want her to hold in herself a clearer story of xenophobia. I also kinda would desire flashbacks about her leaving Italy, her sadness, her nostalgia; why not, also flashbacks of what her life used to be like in Italy in comparison with the one she’s leading in Japan. It would be cute if one of these flashbacks featured her enjoying italian wind, because ,SERIOUSLY, the bond between the kids and their element need to be explored.
- Junpei is the one who has got the least amount of flashbacks and insights about his life in the real world. I really feel moved about his issues at building relationships and real friends, but I would have adored if they had given a reason why Junpei acts the way he does. Personally, I would have adored hearing Junpei has taken an interest on magical tricks because originally he wanted to get attention from his absent parents. Parents give him so much money so he can buy chocolate, cards, whatever he thinks the other kids like, and they think in this way Junpei can feel loved so he has got a messed up perception of relationships, of the way you can create meaningful links with others etc… Moreover, his attention about magical tricks makes him even a worse student than what he is like and this makes his father or both his parents infuriated, which compromises their weak family bond even more. In this way that frame from the” Innocent” ending scene, which is way too specific in his case for my tastes, could finally get an explanation in the anime.
- Oh yes, I would describe Junpei’s bedroom being messy and full of toys and other stuff he buys to be liked by other kids; stuff the other kids will rarely be interested in; stuff he accumulates, -just like his chocolate-, in his bedroom and will never use. I would like to clarify he eats so many bars because nobody really wants to eat them.
- I would give both Izumi and Junpei a reason to jump on that train or, at least, make them question why they have done it, especially Junpei:
• Izumi might have had a very bad school day, something common for a kid but an experience which is the last straw making the camel’s back break to her. She is sick of her school life. Maybe she has heard that girl she has helped with her foot laughing about her, joining the others in some petty chorus, and this sends Izumi on the edge of tears. She comes back home, puts her pizza in the microwave while she is sadly thinking about what has happened and that’s when Ophanimon’s message makes her phone vibrate.
• In the first 5 episodes Junpei is always like “It’s better if I had stayed at home!”; “I really don’t want to stay in this world!” and then he jumps on the train again and we don’t know what happened in his head. I WISH for that part about Izumi being the reason why Junpei has stayed to remain, but I also would like to make it more meaningful, and not a stupid crush joke. It’s very precious that Junpei felt Izumi was as lonely as him so I wanted this part of his bios to take a consistency in the anime. Probably, I wouldn’t really reveal it that soon. When Junpei is on the train, I would like to see him thinking about his life in the real world, maybe remembering his parents are going to come back too and he will be scolded about his grades. He is not a kid who likes giving voice to his most delicate thoughts, so he would also think about his classmates , wince because of an unexplainable melancholy creeping in his soul, and then look at Izumi. And feel it.
- I’d love making Izumi and Ranamon have wholesome moments too, because Ranamon is the other female presence we need in this season and she didn’t have to necessarily be entirely bad and obnoxious. After some adventure they’d share together, I would love seeing Izumi using her kindness to make Ranamon understand she has got other qualities that are more important than beauty. I would still let Ranamon be annihilated tho… With tears on her face and a smile because now she has understood her true worth and hopefully in another life she will be more sincere to herself. In a nutshell, I would like if if Ranamon got more human feelings. I LOVE RANAMON., okay.
- AGAIN, I’D STRENGTHEN THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THEM AND THE ELEMENTS. Jesus Christ, Junpei’s fear of about thunders and lightning is so pitiful and mocking. Why haven’t they given it a DEPTH. Like you already know from my fics, I’d gladly link it with his loneliness.
- I would rewrite the episodes of Tsunomon and Whamon.
• The Tsunomon episode wouldn’t be focused on only Izumi because her feeling Tsunomon’s isolation is relatable to her has got a very weird execution. I would make it an episode about loneliness in general; about BOTH feeling their loneliness intensely and maybe face each other about it with some flashbacks. Thus, they would reach a first level of mutual understanding and respect, because , after all, like a dear friend said, they are two faces of the same coin and just have to realize it. - The Whamon episode has to be about both as well, because it’s shameful Izumi stood still in a situation that was about her, letting Junpei be her shining knight in armour. You are supposed to be a heroine, girl! Do you want to sit on the stands for the nth episode while Junpei is doing everything and putting his life at stake for your sake? I want her to snap out of her | *shaking voice* “I-If only I could digievolve🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🐑*. I freaking want her to help Junpei gain his control on the Beast like Tomoki did for Takuya, at least. Junpei was going berserk in the original episode too and what helps him gain his control? Remembering he wanted to get Izumi’s spirit back. So I think Junpei would go berserk and she’d help him with her voice, -like Bokomon would suggest-, which would also be a faint hint Izumi has got a tendency to keep control in similar situations as well. Izumi should exploit that feeling of hopelessness she has experienced while being unable to fight to REACT; to start wishing for a sort of “redemption” and get stronger; to discover her strength.
- AND AND AND AND, I would frankly make Izumi pay Junpei back for that, allowing her to rescue him for once. We had got so close in the episode in which Kerpymon steals the kids’ digivices and Junpei is the first one getting his stolen. Shutumon flies to his side and insists on helping him, but Loweemon stops her. WELL, either I’d make Loweemon shut up or I’d turn Junpei in Ranamon’s prince prey in captivity. So, Izumi would finally have someone to rescue and HOPEFULLY she wouldn’t drown lol, because let’s stop making Izumi drown everytime. This would be Izumi’s new evolution moment ✨.
- Finally, I’d make Tsunomon come back because another thing I hate is how they are the ones who have been shafted away in the most embarassing way in the final episodes. You don’t want to make Kokuwamons and Floramons come back? Fine, because those would have been an episode for each. Well, then, make Tsunomon come back, now evolved in Gabumon and make them save what they care about the most, thank you. Two episodes for Tomoki? Now I’m giving you the chance to give Izumi and Junpei a single episode for both.
And that’s it, Anon. I took two or maybe more weeks to write this because my tw friends make me come up with the worst ideas, honestly, and I needed to write them down. I don’t know when I will post this, but I really thank you for the patience💕. I’m sure there would be so many other things I would add, but this post can (not ) be a papyrus. I also want to say I really want to write some of these someday, especially Izumi rescuing Junpei because I want to see him acting miserable in some cage until Ranamon will threaten to drown him while he’s melting due to her Jelousy Rain.
Ah! So much Junzumi in this post hhhh💕💕💕💕
#junpei shibayama#izumi orimoto#junzumi#digimon frontier#junpei#izumi#xenophobia eventually became Kou’s story#at least lmao#Ran not wanting to move to Japan is connected to Izumi telling her it was hard for her to fit in#oh and wouldn’t be lovely if when Junpei’s bones are going to melt in polenta he will shout a simple IZUMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII without Chan#I’d love it fufuuf#asks

i just remembered i can post anything on tumblr without my normie fgc acquaintances thinking i'm weird for it so here's my oc version of the phantom thieves
amir okasha/robin - a first year medical student who feels trapped by the expectations placed on him by his parents to become a successful doctor, marry a woman they approve of and lead the perfect life they’ve laid out for him. his only reprieve is DJ’ing at the university radio station which. after awakening to his power to manipulate reality by saving a cat from being run over by a truck, he starts to use his powers to do little acts of good and as he meets more people who have similar powers and eventually forms the high profile vigilante crew, the band of thieves.
type of guy who WOULD help you move but WOULDN'T drive you to the airport.
code name comes from robin hood.
puck muñez/otacon - amir's best friend who is the sound engineer at the university radio station they both work at. fills the junpei/yosuke/ryuji persona bro character niche for the party dynamic but doesn't really have offensive skills so serves the navigator role in combat.
code name comes from otacon from metal gear solid. #womeninSTEM!!!
molly webb/carvaggio - the girl next door type character with the op as fuck power. she's eventually becomes a tragic priestess archetype when its revealed she and her long lost twin sister, [SPOILER] were born as genetically engineered bio weapons and are the originators of the rift in reality that causes altering abilities to occur. she's so awesome i love her so much.
pardon this one sounding utterly insane but her code name comes from the 17th century italian painter michelangelo merisi da caravaggio who's painting 'nativity with st francis and st lawrence' was stolen from an italian church in 1969 and whereabouts remain unknown to this d
gabriel castillo/adler - a law student who has the powers of karnak from marvel's inhumans but no one cares about the inhumans so i can steal it. he's a pathetic, wet, know it all with cis het white man catholic guilt and REALLY good at ruining movies with cinema sins style commentary.
code name comes from irene adler in the sherlock holmes stories.
ellen bouchard/shelly - insufferable awkward goth girl with a heart of gold. she can also create portals to anywhere in the world because i need a way for them to travel to italy and shit. her powers lend themselves most to combat in the group so she's the bruiser among the group.
code name comes from mary shelly, author of frankenstein.
there's one final major character that serves the akechi role of the story but i don't wanna talk about them right now because they're genuinely too complex to explain when i'm two and a half gummies in

Another Persona 3 OC, this time Kiria Ichikawa of the Sage Arcana!
🔽Bio Below🔽
Kiria Ichikawa - The Sage (Hermit)
15-16 (P3), 16 (P3:EA), 18 (P4AU)
June 20th, 1993
5'5", 5'7" in her boots
Sais (Pierce Damage)
Helen of Troy, Artemis
A first year student at Gekkoukan High School who has become popular against her will. Member of SEES, the Volleyball team, and the sewing club. She joined SEES at the same time as Junpei. Her Persona is Helen, which specializes in Psychokinesis, Bash, and Ailment Skills. Helen evolves into Artemis.
Kiria is a reserved and slightly sarcastic girl who, due to both her alt goth fashion sense and position on the Volleyball team, has gotten way more attention than she is comfortable with- specifically, from male students who can't take a hint. She's a kind individual who prefers the company of her few close friends over crowds.
Kiria was raised by her older sister, Tsuyu, and her older brother, Hinata, after their mother was arrested for assault in Club Escapade in 2003 (Kiria was 10); none of them have heard from her since, and none of them care to. In November 2008, Hinata was murdered- in the aftermath of the incident, Kiria and her sister had a falling out, resulting in Kiria experiencing the Dark Hour after wishing thing were different, though she didn't realize it until her and Junpei were in the convenience store that Akihiko found them in.

Speechless, Chapter Seven: The amount of hatred one's heart can hold
Umeko's Bio
Episode One
Episode Two
Episode Three
Episode Four
Episode Five
Episode Six
-------------------------------------------
"What?! You're at Junpei Yoshino's house?!" Iijchi exclaimed over the phone with Yuji.
"Yeah I know but it's fine. Got to go! We're about to have dinner." Yuji exclaims.
"You're having dinner?? I'll head over to you two at once. If you sense trouble, get out of there immediately." Iijchi says.
Yuji hangs up the phone and looks over to Umeko who was facepalming.
"Whaaaaat? We'll be fine! Besides, we'll protect eachother right?" Yuji smiles at her.
Umeko is stunned for a second then smiles and nods. "Moon Jellyfish (Of course)"
While they're eating dinner, Yuji tells a story from his childhood which makes Nagi laugh.
"What happened then?" Nagi asks.
"So then Takashi, he's all full of confidence and he yells 'This is the larvae of a weird species! It might even be poisonous!! Get back don't touch it!' so then of course I picked it up and it turned out to be konjac noodle from lunch!" Yuji says.
Nagi bursts out laughing while Junpei and Umeko look at her with a deadpanned look.
"Wait no way. Konjac? It was just a konjac?" Nagi snickers.
"Mom you've had too much to drink." Junpei says.
"You're funny Yuji, here. Do something funny with it." Nagi says as she hands Yuji a lid with a face on it.
Yuji grabs his leafy greens and gets down onto his knees in a dramatic pose with fake tears.
"Wilson! Wilson! Forgive me Wilson!" Yuji yelled out which made Junpei spit out his drink while Umeko snorted.
"Haha! That's from castaway isn't it?" Junpei pointed out.
"That's right!" Yuji exclaims.
"Is that from a movie? I don't get it." Nagi says.
"It's fire!" Yuji exclaims while holding a leafy green.
Umeko, Yuji, and Junpei laugh with tears in their eyes. The four of them kept eating, talking, and laughing until Nagi fell asleep. Junpei put a blanket over her.
"Your mom's really cool and nice." Yuji says as Umeko nodded her head in agreement.
Junpei nods and smiles as he thinks about this mother. He then turns to Yuji and Umeko. "So tell me about your moms. What are they like?"
Umeko awkwardly rubs the back of her neck.
My mother was really nice. She really liked to spoil me with sweets like dango and dorayaki. My father was a calm and gentle man who I talked to more than my father.
"Wow, sounds like they're nice. Wait was? Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry." Junpei blurted out.
It's alright, you didn't know.
"I never really got to know my mother, though I do have a few faint memories of my father. Fortunately, I had my grandpa and older sister." Yuji says.
His phone suddenly goes off and walks away to answer it.
"Gotta take this call. Hey Iijchi. Yeah I'm fine. Actually, we were just about to watch a movie. Okay...two hours from now, got it." Yuji says as he hangs up the phone.
Umeko snorts as she faintly hears Iijchi exclaim 'two hours!?'
"Itadori, Inumaki. You guys are jujutsu sorcerers right?" Junpei asks out of the blue.
"Yeah." Yuji instantly replies.
"IDIOT!" Umeko screams in her head.
"Have you two ever...killed someone?" Junpei asks.
"Hm? No." Yuji says.
"What kind of question is that?" Umeko thinks to herself.
"Someday, you two will have to fight bad jujutsu sorcerers right? What will you do then?" Junpei asks.
"If that happens, I still won't wanna kill them." Yuji says.
"Why not? They're bad people."
"I just think if killed anyone, the very option of killing would then have forced its way into my life. The value would become ambiguous. I might start taking the people I care about for granted and that scares me." Yuji explains.
I don't know how I'd feel about killing evil jujutsu sorcerers in general, but if there is no choice, I'd kill them to protect the ones I love. I wouldn't care about my own life in that moment.
Junpei looks the paper with interest while Yuji is surprised that Umeko would be willing to kill for someone she loves. Would she kill for him? Yuji then realizes in that moment that...Umeko has changed somehow, and it's been ever since the day he swallowed that finger and her family died.
----------------------------------------------------------
"After the incident at Satozakura High School, we discovered the corpse Junpei Yoshino's mother, Nagi, along with an unsealed finger from Sukuna: the pinky finger from his second left arm. We believe Nagi Yoshino was attacked by cursed spirits drawn there by Sukuna's finger. Her remains were completely missing from the waist down. There were no visible or detectable traces of blood found on site. The victims body was found lying in her bedroom. When the blanket covering the corpse was pulled down, there were only cold packs and ice bags beneath the torso." Iijchi narrated.
"You're saying we'd just get in your way, are you?" Yuji says to Nanami with Umeko next to him with an solemn look on her face, but deep down she was a raging fire.
"It's you that got hurt. Next time take us with you! My partner died but I wasn't with him when it happened. Why not? Well because I'm just a child!"
"So did my family." Umeko mumbles out loud to herself as she stares at the floor.
"Not again. We have to go." Yuji states.
"You can't." Nanami says sternly. "As you've seen, this patch-work cursed spirit we're fighting uses transfigured people. There are some people who are beyond saving. If you continue with this work, there will come a time where you two will be forced to kill a person yourself. But this is not that time."
I'm ready for that. I don't care who I have to kill.
Umeko's senses are beginning to get overrun with sorrow and anger. She can't let him live any longer. The curse who killed her family. He has to go.
"Umeko..." Yuji utters out.
Umeko looks over at Yuji and can tell they both have different emotions. Yuji is conflicted and nervous about having to kill someone, while Umeko is ready and is full of anger and sorrow.
"Please understand this: being a child is not a sin. And so for now, I'd like you two to continue monitoring Junpei Yoshino." Nanami says as he walks away.
Umeko wants to scream. She wants to yell at Nanami and state her reason for being so angry and determined to kill this curse, but the words would curse him and Yuji, and she doesn't want that. She doesn't even realize tears are falling down her face until Yuji grabs onto her shoulders and looks into her eyes.
"Don't worry. We're going to exorcise this curse no matter what he says okay?"
Umeko sniffles and nods.
"Sakura Mochi (We've got this!)"
Later on, they get a report that a veil has been drawn over Satozakura High School.
"I mean it. I'm going and Umeko is coming with me." Yuji says over the phone with Nanami.
"No you're not. Because as I've already explained, if veil has been cast then there is a strong likelihood that he's still alive and there's there at Satozakura High School. I'll be back soon. I'm ordering you and Inumaki to wait there for me, Itadori." Nanami says.
Yuji hangs up and turns to Iijchi with Umeko.
"Please step aside Iijchi." He orders.
"Don't forget that our job is to help others, and though you're two are students, that include you both Inumaki and Itadori." Iijchi replies. "I'm not about to make anymore mistakes. You mustn't go there Itadori and you're staying behind too Inumaki."
Umeko and Yuji ignore Iijchi and run past him.
"I'm sorry Iijchi. I have a family to avenge." Umeko thinks to herself.
The duo rush over to the school and open the doors where Junpei has a student floating in midair in front of him.
"What are you doing?! Stop Junpei!" Yuji yells out.
"Jujutsu Sorcerers, back off!" Junpei demands as a jellyfish shikigami appears beside him.
"Umeko check on the students, I'll fight off Junpei!" Yuji orders.
Umeko nodded and ran over to the unconscious students as Yuji chased Junpei around the school. She checked each student's pulse and found it to be normal, they were just unconscious. They had no visible injures or anything so Umeko went to check on the one Junpei had been focused on. His face looked beaten up and his nose was bleeding, as well as purple bumps on the skin. It was probably poison but Umeko didn't know how to treat that, since she could only use the reverse cursed technique to heal herself not others. She didn't even know if it would work on poison since Gojo doesn't tell her and Yuji much.
Umeko then hears glass breaking and a thump on the side of the school. She gets up and runs in that direction while avoiding the unconscious students. She runs outside and sees Yuji in midair with Junpei and his shikigami. She watches Yuji dodge an attack and counter it, before she runs and jumps beside him.
"Umeko! Are the students okay?" Yuji asks.
They're alive; just unconscious.
Yuji nods before turning to Junpei with a stern look. "Junpei I really can't understand a single thing you're saying! String together whatever logic you want, but all you're doing is.."
Yuji then runs at Junpei with divergent fist.
"Trying to convince yourself you're on the right side of this."
Yuji strikes Junpei and sends him flying through the third floor window. He and Umeko jump up through the window and looks over at him.
"Even though I don't know why you're doing this, I'll assume you have a good reason for it. But whatever it is, is it really worth throwing away the life that you have?!" Yuji exclaims.
"The human heart is just a delusion?! Could you really say that in front of her??"
Junpei starts sniffling and crying as tears fall down onto the floor. "People don't have hearts..."
"You're still just trying—"
"THEY DON'T!! Otherwise...otherwise...then that can only mean..." Junpei looks up at Yuji and Umeko with tears flowing down his face. "People cursed me and my mom with those hearts! That would just be too much! Then I...I wouldn't even know what is right and what's wrong anymore!"
Junpei summons his jellyfish shikigami as Umeko is trying to wrap her head around what Junpei is saying. Whatever he's saying, it's not something he actually believes in; it's something he was taught and manipulated into believing. Junpei shoots out an attack with his shikigami's tentacles which Umeko dodges, but Yuji doesn't.
"Yuji!" Umeko cries out.
"Why didn't you dodge it?" Junpei asks as his shikigami disappears.
Umeko runs over and puts herself under one of Yuji's arms as he limps towards Junpei.
"I'm sorry. I said a lot of arrogant stuff without really understanding anything."
Umeko helps Yuji walk over to Junpei as they both kneel down in front of him. She wipes the blood off of her hands before looking at Junpei.
"Junpei...why?" She utters.
Junpei and Yuji were shocked that she spoke before the latter talks.
"So tell us what happened to you. I swear to you if you do, then we won't curse you anymore. Please." Yuji says as Umeko nods.
Junpei proceeds to tell them that his mom was killed as Umeko holds his hands to comfort him.
"No way...your mom." Yuji mutters as he looks up at Junpei. "Junpei, join jujutsu high. You'd like it. There are lots of crazy strong teachers and good reliable friends there. If we all work together, I guarantee you we can find whoever it was that cursed your mom. Then you can make them—"
Umeko suddenly senses a very familiar presence in the same building as them. Her heart thumps in her ears as she looks up to where the presence is and it's walking down the staircase before coming into the view. Umeko's heart drops and her mind goes blank. It's him: the curse who killed her family.
Mahito
He stretches out his arms and chuckles as Yuji speaks up.
"Who are you?"
Junpei turns around to look at what they're staring at. Mahito walks down the stairs which makes Yuji and Umeko stand up defensively. Umeko's mind was bleeding with rage in that moment as she tried to focus.
"It's nice to meet you, vessel of Sukuna." Mahito says to Yuji before looking at Umeko. "And who are you?"
Umeko's train of thought snaps.
"WHO AM I?! WHO AM I?! DID YOU REALLY JUST SAY—"
"Oh I remember now! You're that white haired bushbaby from a few months ago!"
Mahito then makes his arm grow as he smacks Umeko away.
"Mahito no! Don't do it!" Junpei exclaims as Mahito pins Yuji against the wall.
Umeko gets up and looks at Yuji.
"Drop him"
Mahito immediately drops Yuji who falls to the ground. Umeko coughs as she walks over to Yuji.
"Are you okay—"
She's suddenly cut off as she's pinned to the wall along with Yuji. Her mouth is covered so she can't use cursed speech again.
"Junpei get out!" Yuji yells out. "I don't care what your relationship is with him. Right now just get your ass outta here! Run!"
"Itadori calm down! Mahitos not a bad person!" Junpei says before he stops.
Umeko is pissed upon hearing that. Mahitos not a bad person? He killed her family! He's part of the reason she joined jujutsu high after all; to avenge her family's death. Umeko had a feeling she could do it since Mahito is a special grade cursed spirit, so he wouldn't get killed easily, but now that she's in his presence she feels like she's about to have a heart attack; from both anxiety and anger.
Mahito puts his free hand on Junpei's shoulder.
"You know Junpei, you are a pretty smart kid. But sometimes thinking too much can lead to even more foolish decision than impulsiveness. You're a classic case of that. I'd even say that you can actually be almost as foolish as those people you call fools yourself. And that's why you'll die."
Mahito then looks over at Umeko. "But don't worry, you'll die knowing that white haired bushbaby is even more foolish than you! This little brat became a jujutsu sorcerer just to kill me. How sad of her! She couldn't even accept the death of her own family! You should've seen her face when she came home to see her parents transfigured and dead. And lets not forget her being attacked by her own little brother and was left bleeding out. I wonder how you survived that, bushbaby."
Umeko was looking at Mahito with anger and sorrow, but the sorrow was overriding the anger. Yuji was shocked by the reveal of what happened to Umeko's family. Now it makes sense why she had been acting more serious and hot headed this mission: she was hunting down the very curse who killed her family.
Mahito then transfigures Junpei and turns him into a giant white curse as he pops out of his clothes and stands upright. Umeko and Yuji are shocked as Mahito lets them go and retracts his arm back to normal.
"Now, time for round two." He says as transfigured Junpei runs towards them.
"Junpei..." Yuji utters out as Junpei tries to punch him, but Umeko takes the hit and puts Junpei in a headlock.
"Junpei please! Calm down!" Umeko cries out which makes Junpei relaxes a little in her arms.
"I can heal you!" Yuji exclaims as Junpei starts getting restless in Umeko's embrace. "Sukuna! Sukuna!"
Sukuna appears on Yuji's cheek. "What now?"
Mahito chuckles in amusement as if he had been waiting for that to happen.
"I'll do anything! I'll let you do whatever you wanna do to me and I'll agree to any twisted thing you come up with if you heal Junpei! Like you did when you restored my heart!" Yuji pleads.
"I refuse to!" Sukuna replies.
Mahito looks confused and intrigued by Sukuna's refusal while Umeko looks distraught.
"Damn you.." Yuji growls.
Sukuna chuckles. "How very amusing! You're offering your pride, your future, and your everything all just to grovel and beg me for my help! By yourself you can't save anyone, not even with that cursed speech user!"
Mahito looks deep in thought over this situation and just observes rather than talking.
"How pitiful! You can't be anymore pathetic you sorry little punk!" Sukuna sneers and giggles.
Sukuna and Mahito then start laughing at Yuji and Umeko's suffering and despair as Junpei starts dying in Umeko's arms and looks up at her, clinging his hands onto hers.
"Umeko..." Junpei sniffles as tears fall down his face. "Help me..."
Junpei then goes limp in Umeko's arms which forces her down to the floor. The girl can't focus on anything. Nothing more than...
What happened that day
----------------------------------------------------------
Umeko starts taking off her backpack but then drops it in shock as she looks in front of her. She sees two disfigured beings slumped over on the floor. She is confused on what these things are until she looks closer and realises their hair colors are scarily familiar, and one of them has familiar jewellery on them.
"Mom...? Dad...?" Umeko utters out in fear and shock.
What happened to them? They don't appear to be breathing or moving at all. She tries to touch one of them when a voice calls out to her.
"Welcome home sweetheart!"
Umeko looks towards the voice and sees a humanoid figure with long blue hair and stitches across their body.
"Sorry about the mess. I hope you like the surprise!" He giggles at her face which was staring at him wide-eyed.
"Wh-who are you?" Umeko stuttered out.
"This won't matter since you're about to die but my name is Mahito. I'm a cursed spirit born from the fear and hatred you humans have towards eachother. I'm what some may call a special grade~" Mahito does a little curtsy then giggles.
"I've never..." Umeko trails off, trying to say words that won't curse Mahito incase she herself gets hurt.
"Never seen a curse before? Well most humans can't see them. There are special humans who can see curses, but there are some humans who aren't special but can still see them. Though I've noticed it does vary—"
"Why is this guy talking to me like he didn't just kill my family? He's acting so childish; so dismissive! What's wrong with him??" Umeko thought to herself.
"What's wrong? Are you upset that your family is dead?" Mahito puts on a mockingly sad tone before laughing. "Don't worry! They died pretty quickly, I just got here. You see I altered the shape of their souls by coming into contact with it. Even a jujutsu sorcerer can't protect their soul if they can't aware of it, so fighting me is pointless. It'll be okay little girl, I'll give you a nice quick and rough transformation so you can join your parents!"
Mahito walks towards Umeko in a deliberately slow space as she backs away from him. He then makes his arm grow bigger as it shoots out towards her. As Umeko tried to dodge, she suddenly gets smacked in the side by something that wasn't Mahito, and gets sent flying into a bookcase with glass doors. The glass shattered and some of the shards pierced Umeko's shoulders.
The wounded girl looked up and saw a tan colored disfigured human with black hair on all fours, staring at her.
"Oh my! It seems your...little brother I'm guessing, is still alive!" Mahito chuckles. "Don't even think about trying to convince him to get a hold of himself, he's not there anymore. I said I would kill you now, but I'm going to be even more cruel and leave you here to get killed by him! You don't even have the heart to hurt him do you? Not that humans have hearts anyways. That's why you'll die a painfully pathetic death!"
Kiyoshi rushes towards her and starts punching her over and over which causes blood to drip down the side of her head. Her eyes were cold and lifeless as she stared down at the floor, accepting defeat and not wanting to kill her little brother.
"Ow...ow...ow...ow..." Umeko kept repeating her head. "It hurts. It really hurts. I feel like I'm about to die, but that's okay. I can't hurt you, little brother. I don't have the guys too. After all, this is my punishment for failing as the eldest daughter to protect my family. I failed to protect my little brother and I failed to protect my parents. Getting beaten to death is probably the best way to go."
Memories of her family flashed into her mind. Her parents taking care of her a kid despite it being a struggle with her cursed speech, her finding out her mother was finally able to get pregnant, meeting her little brother Kiyoshi at the hospital, Umeko helping him learn how to walk, her introducing Megumi to her family as her first friend, her also introducing them to Yuji as a bundle of sunshine that never faded, her just..having fun with her family.
She was a failure and she knew it.
Umeko weakly smiles as tears streamed down her face and blood dripped down from her mouth. She deserved every last punch from her transfigured brother. Every.last.one.
Mahito laughed and walked out of the door, and when he was out of hearing range, the beating stopped. Umeko coughed up blood as Kiyoshi suddenly put his head on her lap.
"B-b-big sis. I-I'm sorry. I only wanted to p-protect you." He says in a distorted voice as tears fall down his cheeks.
Umeko's eyes widened at this revelation and puts her hand on Kiyoshi's head and started stroking his hair to try and soothe him. Mahito had said Kiyoshi was no longer himself, so why was he here telling her that he was protecting her? How could he remember her? Did he lie? She didn't detect any sound of that in his voice or body so maybe this was just a miracle.
"B-big sis. Help me..." Kiyoshi whimpered before he went limp on her lap. He had stopped moving altogether.
"Kiyoshi...?"
----------------------------------------------------------
Umeko finally snapped back to reality as she held Junpei's deceased transfigured body on her lap. She was breathing rapidly as the memories of her family's death had flooded into her mind quite quickly.
It then dawned on her how selfish she had been this entire time. She never told Nanami or Yuji or anyone about Mahito and that could've changed things. Nanami wouldn't have gotten hurt, and if she had told him about Mahito's abilities and shown him the drawing of him in her drawing pad, he could've exorcised him.
She was so blinded by rage and sorrow that she wanted to do this mission of killing and exorcising Mahito by herself. She never even thought about how difficult it would be to even kill him until Nanami told her about the fatality count. But even then she didn't care. She was too selfish and it causes Junpei to die.
Umeko gently lifts Junpei's head off of her lap and laid him onto the floor before getting up. She heard an explosion and turned around to look out the window to see Yuji sliding across the ground. She could sense Mahito was near her so ran in his direction. She was still angry but tried not to let it cloud her emotions. As Mahito emerged in her peripheral vision, he suddenly got pulled out of the window and slammed into a wall by Yuji pulling on his stretched out limb.
"You know, most people would've just let go." Mahito says as he retracts his arm.
As Umeko jumps down from the window, Yuji punches the ground which causes a dust cloud to form. Umeko runs through it with Yuji and takes out her snath, which she extends to 59 inches long before summoning the blade. Yuji strikes Mahito in the stomach with divergent fist while Umeko strikes his head with her scythe.
Mahito is surprised by Umeko's arrival but then smirks as she stabs her arm with spikes from his head, while impaling Yuji's torso with spikes from his stomach.
"You two can never beat me you know." Mahito states as retracts the spikes from Umeko's arm before punching her away, sending her skidding back a few feet.
"So swap out already with Sukuna." He then touches Yuji's chest for a few moments.
His eyes suddenly widen and he appears to space out for a minute. Umeko walks over to the two of them and sighs.
"Retract"
The spikes impaling Yuji's retract back into Mahito's body as Yuji breathes out a sigh of relief. He then grabs Mahito's face and glares up at him.
"I'm not swapping out. I already told you, for what you did I will kill you now!"
Yuji then headbutts him aggressively which causes blood to spurt out. He repeats this before backing up and Umeko repeatedly stabs and cuts Mahito as Yuji kicks him. As Yuji roars and goes to use divergent fist on him, Mahito suddenly disappears out of his clothes and appears behind the duo with a giant bumpy arm.
As he goes to strike them with it, Nanami appears and blocks the hit with his blade.
"Nanami!" Umeko cries out in relief.
"I'll lecture you two later. Just tell me the situation." Nanami demands.
"Two died. I failed to save them." Yuji replies.
"I want to hear about your physical condition." Nanami says sternly.
"I'm fine thanks. Though me and Umeko are kind of full of holes." Yuji says.
"That's not fine."
There's a bunch of students unconscious in the school gym, but they're alive. Their pulse is normal and everything, no visible injuries.
Nanami hums in acknowledgement.
"My, my. So you're alive and well Mister 7:3. Good to see both of us survived. Shall we share a little hug in celebration of our reunion?" Mahito asks as his nose stands to bleed.
"Itadori, Inumaki. Why is his nose bleeding?" Nanami asked.
"Uh, I smashed his face in." Yuji replies.
"But when?"
"At the start of the fight."
"And did his hands touch you?"
"Mhm"
"My attacks aren't going to work on him."
Yuji and Umeko look at Nanami, dumbfounded.
"Huh? Wait what!? But why not??" Yuji exclaims.
"I'll explain it later when I'm lecturing you two." Nanami snaps back then goes into thought for a moment.
"However I'll try and keep him from moving around. Then once the three of us have got an opening, we'll shower him with blows. We'll exorcise this one here and now."
"Yeah!" Yuji growls.
"Sakura mochi!! (Let's do this!!)" Umeko exclaims.
Mahito makes an eye appear on his right hand while his left hand takes on the shape of a blade. He runs towards them and leaps into the air to strike them but Yuji runs out of the way as Nanami and Umeko dodge. They both swing at Mahito who dodges and tries to strike Yuji, but he dodges as Nanami and Umeko come at him again. He leaps into the air and turns his body into several spikes, which the trio run away from to dodge.
Nanami and Umeko use their weapons to strike the weaker ends while Yuji uses his fist. Mahito then retracts the spike away and turns his body back to his humanoid shape, as the the trio run at him. He shrinks himself down to the size of a child and dodges their strike as he runs away.
"Notice just before he changes shape." Nanami says.
"He stores cursed energy!" Yuji states.
Mahito grows back to his normal size and throws up six transfigured humans who grow as he throws them on the ground.
"You three kill that short haired brat! You three kill that white haired bushbaby!" He orders.
Three of them charge towards Yuji while the other three go for Umeko. Yuji runs away while Umeko goes for a wall and jumps onto it, while Nanami dodges a huge blade from Mahito's arm.
"Look they're running away from them. I knew they couldn't kill humans—"
"DIE!!"
Mahito looks over and sees the three transfigured humans fall to the ground, looking like they're rotting. Umeko jumps off the wall and walks towards Mahito while spinning her scythe around.
"What was that?" She coldly hissed.
"Well, well, you can kill humans but Itadori sure can't!" Mahito chuckles.
He then makes his arm grow and pins Nanami to the wall. Umeko runs towards him but Mahito impales her jaw with his arm that turned into a blade.
"Inumaki!" Nanami yells out as the blade retracts and Umeko coughs up blood and staggers around.
Mahito chuckles and turns towards Nanami.
"That foolish bushbaby is nothing but a brat who can't face reality. I bet she never told you she's met me before and that I killed her family. She's so blinded by rage she almost caused you to die and is the reason why poor pathetic Junpei couldn't be saved from his dreadful fate."
"I already found out she knew about you. I can't say I'm annoyed since I knew before we found those transfigured victims, but then again, she is after all still a child." Nanami replies.
Umeko's mind is too numb to hear their conversation as she's trying to stop her wound from bleeding.
"Next I should have Itadori and Inumaki attack you, sorcerer. You think they'll cry then too? Itadori is a foolish brat who can't reconcile reality with his ideals." Mahito says while imbuing cursed energy into his free arm.
"You're wrong about that. He's right in the process of making that reconciliation. If you wanna know what I think, I'd say you're the fool." Nanami retorts as Yuji comes flying out of a window and lands on Mahito's arm, freeing him.
Mahito scoffs. "Did you kill those three?"
Umeko wheezes for a moment before getting her breathing under control and stopping the bleeding.
"Inumaki! You okay??" Yuji exclaims.
Umeko grunts in confirmation as Nanami appears behind Mahito, which makes him turn around. Noticing an opportunity, Yuji and Umeko both strike him. The three of them continuously strike Mahito, not allowing him to change shape after realising his tricks. These repeated blows on him don't give him enough time to create a substitute.
With each strike, Umeko feels a sense of satisfaction and sadism. She starts smiling widely and snickers softly to herself as she gets to shed Mahito's blood onto her blade. It's just so satisfying hurting this stupid, stupid bastard.
As they go to strike him again, Mahito suddenly opens his mouth which have two mini sets of arms inside it. Suddenly, shadowy hands appears from the ground and keep Nanami and Umeko together while pushing Yuji away. Umeko looks around her and sees hands holding eachother everywhere.
"Right now I'm just so...grateful to you two." Mahito says.
"We're stuck...we're actually stuck. I only survived that last domain from the volcano head because of Gojo, but he isn't here to protect me or Nanami. We're...actually going to die and it's all my fault. I could've said something but I never did." Umeko's thoughts were running wild.
"Nanami.." She uttered.
Nanami used cursed energy to protect his ears and brain from her cursed speech. "Hm?"
"I'm sorry for being a selfish bitch. I'm sorry I never told you about Mahito. I'm sorry I never told you about his technique. I'm sorry I was so blinded by the rage caused by the loss of my family that I ended up causing you to get hurt."
Nanami listened for a moment and sighed before putting his hand on her head.
"Inumaki..."
Umeko was preparing for some kind of lecture but never got one.
"I only found out about Mahito's description because Gojo snooped around and found your drawing of Mahito, along with a rushed definition of his abilities. Even if we hadn't found out, he told me his technique anyway so it wouldn't have mattered." Nanami explained before turning to Umeko.
"I understand you, I really do, but do not allow yourself to be blinded by such strong emotions. I've had my fair share of that. None of this is your fault so please don't blame yourself."
Umeko looks up at him with glossy eyes but finds he's gone deep into thought about something.
"Did he really mean that though?" Umeko thought to herself. "Was he just saying that because he doesn't want to spend his last moments scolding some stupid kid? That does seem like his style."
"Idle transfiguration. I'm so grateful to you." Mahito says.
Nanami sighs and takes off his glasses. "Save your gratitude. I've already received more than enough of that from others. I have no regrets."
The three of them suddenly hear the sound of something breaking. They look up and see Yuji's fist through the top of the domain. He then pulls it out before forcing his entire body through, breaking and entering the domain.
"Yuji...how was he able to get in?" Umeko thinks to herself.
Yuji lands on the ground and Umeko has a new found determination to fight, when suddenly a large gash appears across Mahito's shoulder and blood spurts out. He clutches it and squirms in panic and pain as it seems he can't regenerate that wound.
The domain then breaks and releases them back into the real world as Mahito collapses onto his knees with blood gushing out of his wound. The trio stand there for a moment before Yuji and Umeko charge towards him, ready to attack now that's he's weak.
"DIE YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" Umeko screamed in her mind.
Mahito smirks to himself before his expands his body. Yuji and Umeko don't stop and strike him which makes his body...pop? The duo are confused until something rushes past them and they see Mahito's body sliding through a grate in the ground.
"Bye bye!" He waves.
"Hold it!" Yuji yells.
"Stop!!"
Mahito freezes for a second before Nanami hits the grate, but he's not there anymore. He's already escape.
Umeko violently coughs as Yuji collapses to the ground.
"We need to go after him and—" Nanami stop once he sees both Umeko and Yuji's conditions.
Umeko gets a hold of herself and turns Yuji to her as Nanami runs over to them.
"Itadori! Itadori! Itadori!" Nanami yells but Yuji goes unconscious. "Dammit..."
Umeko shakes him but he's not responding.
"We should head back. Can you move?" Nanami asks.
"Mhm" Umeko nods before picking up Yuji.
"I'll carry him." Nanami says as he takes Yuji out of Umeko's arms.
----------------------------------------------------------
A while later Umeko, Yuji, and Nanami gets their wounds dressed. Yuji remains asleep while Umeko and Nanami stand next to eachother in a morgue.
"Nanami?" Umeko starts talking.
Nanami protects his ears and brain with cursed energy before turning to Umeko.
"Did you mean what you said in Mahito's domain? Was that not just something you wanted to hear me say since we were probably about to die before Yuji saved us?"
"Yes. I meant every word. Whether you said anything or not wouldn't have made a difference." Nanami replies.
They both remain silent for a moment before Nanami turns back to Umeko.
"What happened that day, if you don't mind me asking?"
Umeko sighs. "The same day Yuji swallowed that finger, I returned home from school to find my parents transfigured and already dead. Mahito explained a bit of his technique to me before trying to kill me, but my transfigured little brother knocked me away and started beating me up. I thought I was going to die but, after Mahito left he started apologising to me and said he wanted to protect me by acting like he was going to kill me. Keep in mind he's only nine years old."
Nanami hummed while listening to her.
"Ever since that day, anger has been building up inside me and it's constantly there no matter what. Even when I'm happy, it's there. The loss of my family affected me so badly, that I was blinded by the danger and stupidity of me thinking I could hunt down a special grade by myself and exorcise it. I never even told Yuji and he's the only other person other than my family to accept me without hesitation. I'm tired Nanami. I'm tired of always being angry."
Umeko venting to Nanami somehow lifting a heavy weight off of her shoulders. He was the first person he told about the true horrors she experienced the night her family died and now it somehow feels good to have someone to talk to.
"Do you think it's your fault your family died?" Nanami asked.
Umeko was surprised by this question, but nodded.
"Yes. I failed to protect them. I failed to serve my duty as the elder sibling and now my little brother, along with my parents, are dead."
Nanami sighed and put a hand on her shoulder. "None of what happened was your fault. Mahito is simply a child who toys around with others and chose to go into your home to toy with them too. You were at school right? You couldn't have known what was coming so you didn't fail at anything. Your family would never hate you for that reason alone. They accepted you and loved you unconditionally and nothing will change that, Inumaki."
Umeko bit her lip as she teared up from the words Nanami said to her. Nanami gently pat her on the head as they heard a noise behind them.
"Hey. Iijchi told me you guys would be down here." Yuji said.
Umeko wiped her tears away as Yuji walked over to them and stood beside Umeko. Nanami's expression went back to being more solemn.
"You two were told to rest, weren't you?"
"Is this our lecture?" Yuji asks.
"I have no lecture at all to give you. You're the one who saved me and Inumaki's lives. Although Inumaki, I will scold you for preparing to battle a special grade without thinking. Hopefully you've learned not to be so stupid and reckless in the future" Nanami says.
Umeko groans lightly as Yuji turns to Nanami.
"I saved you?"
"That patchwork's cursed technique is interfering with the soul. Because you invaded his expansion domain, he wound up inadvertently touching Sukuna's soul. I was saved because of that." Nanami explains.
"But I never swapped out with Sukuna."
"Sukuna never came out; our opponent went in."
"Then it wasn't you who saved you, it was just Sukuna's whim."
Don't give Sukuna credit. We don't need that idiot getting an inflated ego.
Yuji chuckles then frowns.
"Nanami, I killed a person today. People die. There's no stopping that, so I wanted them to at least have proper deaths. That's what I thought so I always thinking about how I could keep that trigger from being pulled. But after pulling that trigger myself, I don't understand anymore. What is a proper death?"
"I don't know what that is either. Even if all good people properly died in peace, and all evil people were punished in death, the problem would be that most people in this world are either all good nor all evil. Death is the final destination for all of us but no one dies the same death. Guiding all of them to their proper end would be quite arduous and I personally wouldn't recommend it." Nanami says.
"I know you won't listen but you'll still try won't you? I hope you don't get killed in process. And just as me and Inumaki would've died today if you hadn't been there, you'll see there are plenty of other people yet to come who are going to need you too. Just remember Itadori, you and Inumaki are jujutsu sorcerers now." Nanami says as he walks away.
Yuji's lip trembles as he takes in Nanami's words.
----------------------------------------------------------
Yuji and Umeko are walking down the hallways of Jujutsu High while the former is in deep thought. He then turns to Umeko.
"I'm sorry about your family."
Whatever. I can't do anything anymore until I get strong enough to deal with him.
"I can't believe you wanted to hunt down a special grade cursed spirit like that without any help. You could've died Umeko, I wouldn't have wanted that. I'm not saying you had to have told me, but please be careful in the future. We almost died yesterday, despite there being three against one, and I don't want you dying like that; not on my watch."
I'm sorry. My heart was too clouded by the loss of my family. I know that's not an excuse but I'm going to get stronger alongside you and the others so we can defeat Mahito. We're not going to lose again.
Yuji nods and slings his arm around Umeko's shoulder.
"You're pretty stubborn you know that? Stupid, stubborn, but also strong headed. I don't exactly like that combination."
Umeko smiles and ruffles Yuji's hair, making him yelp.
"Hey! No fair Fruit Bat!"
It's been so long since you've called me that, tiger.
The two of them chuckle as they walk up to Nanami and Gojo.
"You guys called eachother nicknames by animals huh? You sure you guys aren't dating?" Gojo teases.
Umeko and Yuji blush slightly while Nanami sighs and facepalms at Gojo's behaviour.
"Anyways the exchange event is in a couple of days. How are you both feeling?" Nanami asks.
"Wait the exchange event is already so soon?!" Yuji exclaims.
Nanami turns to Gojo. "Gojo..."
"Hey! Hey! I did tell them what it was." Gojo puts his hands up in defence.
"Yes but them not knowing exactly when, is the issue."
"Oh Nanami! Stop being so uptight and serious!"
Yuji and Umeko watch them bicker before turning to eachother.
"Should we do something?"
"Red Algae (Nah)"
