#Noroshi

[youghvaudough]

Wind Breaker characters have a theme to their names, a thread, part 3:

we will discuss Noroshi, a group that appears later in the manga, so, spoilers under the divide, click with discretion!

(part 1: Bōfūrin and part 2: Shishitoren)

Noroshi / 烽

the group antithesis to Bōfūrin is aptly named signal fire. with a fire radical / 火字旁, their name easily invokes the fire imagery that Endō frequently quotes

as we have established, Bōfūrin is associated with trees/plants, so it is unsurprising that a group that broke from them and wants to destroy their ideals would want to set fire to them

interestingly enough, the leader of noroshi and his second-in-command (and biggest fan) have both wood and fire in their last names:

焚石 矢 • Takiishi Chika: 焚 / to burn (with fire)

the kanji 焚 is literally made up of 林 (two wood/木 side by side, "forest/trees") on top and 火 ("fire") below it,, very straightforward

棪堂 哉真斗 • Endō Yamato: 棪 / (archaically) a red fruit of a tree that looks like crabapples

the kanji 棪 is made up of 木 (wood radical) and 炎 (two fire/火 stacked on top of each other, "flames"),, again, very straight(?)forward

other named members of noroshi:

they have elements of wood in their last names, likely a leftover from their previous association with Fūrin, but they are specifically wooden tools instead of living trees:

盤杖 奏音 · Banjo Kanon: 杖 / (wooden) walking stick

(he looks like scaramouche from genshin i say this and run tf away so fast)

杓子 千宙 · Shakushi Chihiro: 杓 / wooden ladle

樽味 清太郎 · Tarumi Seitaro: 樽 / wooden barrel (for alcohol/soy sauce, etc.)

柱尾 修士 · Hashirao Shuji: 柱 / (wooden) column, pillar

(yup the same kanji 柱/Hashira that's used in Demon Slayer; also this is why i kept calling the hashiras "pillars" and had to explain myself when talking about KNY with my very confused English-speaking friends)

梳地 弦治 · Sugichi Genji: 梳 / (wooden) comb

(he's weirdly Grease coded makes sense he has "comb" in his last name lmao)

that's what i got so far! hope you found this interesting. ty for reading if you got this far!!

[finnitesimal]

looking back through chapters and they keep calling them 'endo's men' 'endo and his men' and yeah he started the group and all and they were building up to both the name noroshi and takiishi in general but I think it's really funny. Endo and his men. and Takiishi's there too ig

[phuuca]

My friend Jax got me REALLY into Wind Breaker and I binge read the entire manga in, roughly, three days. But every time a new gang was introduced, I always had the idea pop into my head of “What if Sakura joined these guys before Furin?”

So here’s my two cents about how those would all go:

(Gangs ranked from Least Damaging to Most Damaging, based on how they’d treat Sakura)

(Spoilers for the Manga)

Roppo Ichiza - Least damaging

They wouldn't let him join officially, because he's too young. But this is Sakura and he'll throw himself into battle anyway for the thrill of it, but also because he wants to belong and protect. It's who he is at his core. Kanji sighs with unsurprising disappointment because Sakura should be in school! And making friends!! You're committing truancy Sakura. Go make friends, you under-socialized, stray cat!! Sakura being adopted into the Roppo Ichiza is just Kanji and Akihito trying to convince him to transfer to Furin because SAKURA. YOU'RE LIFE IS BEING WASTED HERE. Anyway, he ends up transferring to Furin after hanging around Shizuka and Tsubaki long enough and they beat Gravel's ass. He drags the boy by the scruff, kicking and screaming, and enrolls him in Furin High himself.

Gravel - second least damaging

He thrives, but in a way that’s a little different from Roppo and Furin bc they are a community. However he still, ultimately, gets picked on because of his appearance and is more lonely than he thinks he is. But, for the most part, he's welcomed with open arms because he contributes a lot to Gravel and is super reliable. He takes up a semi-leadership position, despite being one of the youngest members, because of his fighting abilities. Transfers to Furin after Suzuri becomes a Chef Trainee and pushes Sakura to better himself in a way similar to Tsubaki and Shizuka.

Both a Roppo! and Gravel!Sakura would be closest to Tsubaki.

Shishitoren - smack dab in the middle, our true neutral

He’s in a neutral position in Shishitoren. It's neither good nor bad overall, but he’s still incredibly, lonely. Choji picks on him for being strong. Togame picks on him because of their clashing ideals and talking speeds. He’s definitely strong enough to hold his place there and find shaky community, but his own personal morals isolate him more ostentatiously than not. And, with the threat of being kicked out, he's afraid of even being seen as "weak". He still thinks it's some punk shit to be picking on middle schoolers and he'd beat the snot out of Arima and Kanuma, if given the chance. After the tournament, he transfers with a little bit of pushing from Togame.

Shishitoren!Sakura would be closest to Hiiragi (he sees a lot of Sako in Sakura).

Keel - damaging

He withers, but at a slower rate. He’s the only member to not use a weapon, because he thinks bringing a weapon to a fist fight is cowardly behavior. This makes him an outsider and a target of their bullying. He willingly joined under the guise of finding community, but was pissed off when he found out this community is full of petty thugs and bullies. He tried to leave, and was close to being successful, but then he say Nagato and decided he was going to stay and (begrudgingly, with a lot of grumbling and swearing) stay. He stands beside Nagato as an a kind of, tough-loving, older brother/mentor figure. Sakura often takes the brunt of Nagato’s punishments because Nagato is not a fighter and he's "responsible" for hims as his mentor. Even after he fails nabbing the purse, he takes it for Nagato and is devastated, but truly not surprised when they beat up Nagato too. He transfers after Nagato is saved.

Keel!Sakura would be closest with Ren.

Noroshi - most damaging and he’s in active, tangiable danger.

He withers and burns from the inside out. He’s fighting for his fucking life all the time. He’s got scars and a single tattoo. Absolutely lonely and gets sick, maybe, twice every six months from constantly being run ragged and feeling like dirt. There are small streaks of white in his black hair from the constant stress of fighting Takiishi, Endo, and the other Noroshi members in a thunderdome that, seemingly, never ends. Is first seen beside Endo during the Gravel Arc as his shadow, a reopened split lip staining the collar of his hoodie red. He is saved during the war by Umemiya after he clips his head, hard, on the chair Takiishi throws, and is held down until he passes out (Umemiya defends his unconscious body from Takiishi). He transfers to Furin once the war is over and is monitored by the Four Kings, not because they think he’ll betray him, but because Sakura needs guidance on the difference between constantly fighting for your life verses a friendly fun brawl (Endo and Takiishi had him fight them for survival under the guise of “fun”).

Noroshi!Sakura is closest with Umemiya (everyone saw this coming).

In every reality, my boy Haruka Sakura ends up in Furin because all roads lead to Furin. He belongs there, that’s his family, even if some extra steps were taken to get there.

Black Swan, White Swan

Yamato Endo x Reader (slight x Chika Takiishi)

Warnings: 18+ content (sex), swearing, usual Takiishi-Endo violence.

Description: Takiishi can be really awful to Endo, so the reader tries to show him what he's really worth. Too bad Endo's infatuated with Takiishi to the point where the reader's not sure who he loves more.

“He’s so mean to you,” you pout as you place a kiss on the red, hand-shaped mark on your boyfriend’s face.

Endo hums, and responds with, “And yet I love him anyway.”

With a frown, you pull away from his cheek to stare at him judgmentally. He shakes his head, rolls his eyes, and leans back on the couch, moving in just the right way to make his bulge slide across your clothed pussy as you sit in his lap. Knowingly, you lay down on top of him, pressing your breasts against his chest so they push up in the low-cut top you’re wearing. This way, he knows you can tease him, too.

“I don’t get how you can love him,” you sigh sensually, “Not when he gives you nothing, and I give you all this.”

You begin to slowly grind your hips against his, building the tension between your lower parts. His breaths instantly become more frequent, the desperation and the excitement taking control of all his bodily functions. You wonder how long he’ll last. After meeting with Takiishi, Endo always comes home hot and bothered. It’s so much easier to get what you want from him — what you need from him — if Takiishi’s started him off. And you try to think of that in some platonic way, but you know better.

“You can touch me however you want, but you can’t touch me like he does,” he says.

This infuriates you, and you place a hand on each of his pecs, and push yourself off him. Your arms cross, and you give him a look of complete and utter disgust. Still, your pussy is pulsing, begging to be satisfied because it has just been so damn long. Endo isn’t ignorant of this either, and he takes advantage of your weakness by gripping your hips, and forcing you to roll over his bulge again, and again, and again. You’re like clay, so ready to be molded in his hands.

Eventually, you give in to your impulses, and unzip his jeans. You pull them down his legs, planting kisses on the inside of his thighs as you go, and the tent in his black underwear grows even bigger. Then, you kiss his tip, and lick his length, drenching his underwear. He grows impatient, and takes them off for you, his dick springing out eagerly, obsessively.

Just the sight of it, in all it’s glory, makes you drool, and you indulge yourself in the salty taste of his precum. He wants you to take it in your mouth, so you do. You let him tangle his fingers in your hair, and force his dick so far into your throat so many times (without even considering that you might need a little more air) that you’re teetering too close to the line between gagging and vomiting. You throw you head back against him, he releases you from his ravenous hold, but he complains about not getting to come in your mouth.

“I’ll let you fill me up somewhere better,” you say proudly, and place your knees on either side of his waist.

He grabs the centre piece of fabric of your underwear, and tugs until they tear apart. You whine something about them being really expensive, but he doesn’t care to listen. In moments, he’s balls deep inside of you, pounding against your cervix like your nothing more than a cumrag or a flesh light. You take his right hand, and press one of his fingers against your clit, and he lets out a few words that sound very suspiciously like ‘I forgot about you.’ It makes you hiss, which he assumes is a sound of pleasure, so he stays rubbing circles on your clit at a rapidly increasing pace.

You force two of your own fingers into your hole alongside his dick, and he groans at the contact. He’s so vocal — always groaning, and grunting, and moaning. It’s atrocious, and you love it. When you pull your fingers out, they’re covered in your slick, so you shove them into his mouth. His tongue makes a figure eight around them, lapping up every last drop of you, then you draw them out, and run them along his body. You kiss him again, and in the swap of saliva, you taste yourself. So fruity, so sweet.

“Can he touch you like this?” You ask him.

“No,” he replies.

“Sorry, I didn’t quite catch that,” you say.

“No! He can’t touch me like this!” He moans, and you smile proudly to yourself.

But then, the door opens, and the speed at which he’s pounding into you starts to become more frantic, more wanting. You almost manage to avoid glancing at the door, but you can’t help yourself. When you see Takiishi standing there with that vacant look in his eye, you scoff, and stand up off your boyfriend’s dick. A web of fluids connect the two of you, but snaps when you take a step back. Endo whimpers as he tries to beckon you back onto him with one hand, and waves half-heartedly at Takiishi with his other, and you roll your eyes at it all.

“Why did you stop?” Takiishi says.

Instantly, Endo is pulling you back, and you sit down on his dick with an annoyed look. He offers you a pout that silently begs ‘please? for me?’ and you start to bounce on him, only slightly amused when the sound of your skin slapping against his reverberates through the room.

With Takiishi watching, Endo is a much more attentive lover. Despite all his attention being on his friend (for lack of a better word), he seems to crave Takiishi’s approval, and thus, focuses hard on proving that he is the world’s best lover. His pace slows, he breathes warmly into your neck as he places kisses all over your collarbone, his eyes stuck on Takiishi’s. His fingers are pinching your clit, and making your eyes close as tears start to prick at the edges. For the first time in weeks, you let out a string of grunts interspersed with ‘Yamato, faster!’ (which he ignores in favour of prolonging this for you, but more so for Takiishi), and ‘Fuck!’, and ‘More! More!’

Finally, your entire body tenses, the walls of your cunt clench on his cock, and your hands ball into fists as you reach your climax, and fall softly on top of his body. He continues to use you until his thick, hot cum fills you up, and you don’t spare another thought about whether or not you took your pill this morning.

“I love you,” he says, but neither you nor Takiishi answer.

group swap 🔥

I've been thinking about a Noroshi Sakura ever since Endo showed off his slimy fucking face way back in chp. 85, so I redrew the scene with Sakura in it.

More sketches beneath the cut and information about my Noroshi Sakura AU

He is not having the greatest time with Endo.

[hibiki24681357]

Me: conflict is important! The Noroshi are doing a lot of work: establishing a prior history, upping the stakes, and pushing a lot of Furin characters to their limits! They're really good antagonists for showing us how serious Furin gets when everything is on the line!

Also me: LEAVE THEM ALOOOOOOONE JUST LEAAAAVE GET OUUUUUUUTTTT GET OUT OF TOWN LEAVE BOFURIN ALOOOOOOOOOOOOONE

Also also me: and the fact that I feel that way about them as antagonists is a testament to the writing! It's a really fun ride and I'm always excited to see how things play out every chapter

Me again: GET OUUUUUT GET OOOOUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTT Y'ALL SUUUUUUUUUCKKKKK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[babygray]

Man, I need to study Japanese harder.

I only realized today that the Bofurin kids all have a plant-based name.

[bluntloyalist]

Sure, play another song. I've got nothing better to do.
