Birthday

How the different nations of Teyvat celebrate your birthday

My birthday is today so it's fresh on my mind, so you get headcanons.

_______________________________________________

Every nation has a festival in your name on this special day, but how does each festival differ.

• Mondstadt

The nation of wind and freedom and also wine, you would think this would lead to mass celebratory drinking, while this is true for some, the more upstanding citizens set aside their glasses, even the drunkard god himself, he does have his own role to play in this festival after all.

The city is decorated with windwheel asters and the shops carry wreaths made from the flower as you expressed amazement when first seeing the specimen.

Across the day dandelion seeds are gathered by visitors and locals alike and when the stars start to shine in the night sky a strong gust of wind summoned by Barbatos himself comes to help them soar, and due to the elemental energy flowing through them, it's as if the sky gained new stars that night.

• Liyue

The nation of stone and commerce, much like the Lantern Rite signifying the new year, lanterns are released into the night sky, these lanterns however are filled with notes containing prayers, thanks, and many simply wishing you a happy birthday.

Many of the city's shopkeepers offer a portion of their earnings to you, jewelers on the other hand offer their finest gems, only the best will do for their creator after all.

In years past a dragon could be seen resting at the peak of Jueyun Karst on this special day, these days however the only notable difference is the occasional absence of one of the funeral parlor's employees, but that's probably just a coincidence.

Unfortunately, Xiao cannot celebrate today, at least not to the extent that the others can. While hilichurls, treasure hoarders, and even the Abyss Order dare not disturb the peace this day, nothing can stop the rogue programming of the ruin guards. However seeing how diligently you work through your vessels even during festivities, he holds a sense of pride knowing you'd be doing the same if you were here.

• Inazuma

The nation of lightning and eternity, during the vision hunt decree, today was celebrated secretly, not because the Shogun had a law against, no, she was actually saddened by how quiet the day was, but it was because every vision bearer she hadn't caught thought she'd use the festival to round them up. Now that the hunt is over however, the streets of Inazuma are busting more than ever.

Inazuma is definitely the most diverse in its celebration, with warriors wishing to honor you by displaying their skills, artists hoping to show you the beauty of their craft, and a grand fireworks show courtesy of Naganohara Fireworks.

The shrine maidens of both Narukami and Watatsumi are very busy this time of year, accepting a multitude of offerings and words of appreciation for the creator.

The Arataki gang hosts a multitude of attractions for the festival, poor Shinobu was left with the paper work and the gang gets a good earful the next day, but she decides, so long as they're not causing problems, the lectures can wait until tomorrow.

• Sumeru

The nation of dendro, knowledge, and wisdom. In the past the Akademyia sages would over see this momentous occasion, now that role goes to lesser lord Kusanali.

The city holds a showcase of each of the Akademyia's darshans, this showcase is filled with incredible flora and fauna, all harmless of course, mechanical marvels, and elemental beauty.

Aaru village may be small but they go all out for you, due to how small it is there is nothing truly of note, but due to the peace mentioned in Liyue's section, even the ever diligent Candace can enjoy a day of leisure and laughter, much to Dehya's delight.

• Abyss

Not much is known about the abyss but one thing is clear, like the rest of Teyvat, they have a strong sense of devotion, so this is the one day of the year they retreat back to their domain and the nations are left in peace, as for what they do on this day, that is yet another mystery.

• Misc.

While treasure hoarders are known for, well hoarding treasure, on this day they leave the innocent in peace and even turn in some of their stolen goods, not directly of course out of fear of being imprisoned, but they leave them near city gates.

The numerous hilichurl tribes hold feasts as they dance around their bonfires, to the untrained eye this seems like normal behavior, however one may notice the particular dance they do is distinctly different.

The bards and poets of the land may not have much to offer in material goods, but they hope you are satisfied with their songs and rhymes.

The Adventurer's Guild does their utmost in every city to see that each celebration goes of without a hitch, it may not be much, but it's all they can do without treating it like any other day.

Alright well I gave up on this idea quickly enough. So i'm not about to drag myself over glass trying to scribble out even loose designs for these guys... So i guess just have a big wall of text, broken up for readability by... images of more and bigger text...

Utterly unprompted by anything apart from vacuous boredom I tried to come up with sort of demi-fusions of shinigami and arrancar? Like turning shinigami characters' core persona into arrancar, but with just a tiny dash of an existing arrancar for flavor sort of shtick(?) and vice versa. There was no reason to impose this limitation on myself but I abide by it and made things more difficult for myself anyway... I've definitely done this kind of random exercise before with, like, DC✕Marvel(Amalgam comics) characters, and pokemon, and I dunno it's just kind of how Monster Rancher and Jade Cocoon work canonically... It's kind of just a preset mode my brain operates in some times, to absolutely no benefit to anyone... anyway here's a buncha bullshit

Yamamoto Genryuusai (✕Grimmjow Jaegerjaques)

Obviously the lazy choice would've been Yamamoto and Barragan so first order of business was to dodge that entirely. With this fusion, it maintains Yamamoto's oldness, boss status --in both Yamamoto's shogun status and Grimmjow's "emperor" status among his fraccion-- and by adding Pantera's big cat to Zanka-no-Tachi's sun motif the mix landed me at the resurreccion Nahui-Ocelotl[ナウィ・オセロット]. Kind of a weird way to kick it off as it's not actually spanish at all, but nahuatl for "Four Jaguars" paired with the kanji [第一の太陽]: "(The) First Sun" which is all just a direct point to Aztec mythology and the idea that the world was made and destroyed and remade several times over as marked in ages called colloquially called "suns" in English but all prefixed with "nahui-...": "Four..." in the native tongue, not the word for "sun". Each sun is named after how it ended (Jaguars, hurricanes, a rain of fire, flood, and earthquakes) The First Sun having ended when the god Tezcatlipoca commanded jaguars to eat all the human beings.

I have no idea what that really means for powers though... Obviously it gets to retain Yamamoto's whole "burn the earth to ash" vibe but with jaguars... Does he become jaguar? jaguar warrior?(which would line up with some real world aztec iconography) summon jaguars?(almost like starrk's los lobos?) does sword become jaguar? sword that shoots jaguars? who knows.

Sui-Feng (✕Nnoitra Gilga)

Avispón Gigante[アヴィスパ・ヒガンテ]: "Giant Hornet"/[雀蜂]: "Giant Hornet" literally just the same kanji as her original zanpakutou, because the suzumebachi is the name of the Vespa mandarinia. structurally kind of mirrors how Nnoitra's Santa Teresa is just the common name for the praying mantis. I'll admit, this one wasn't very clever of me, but I liked that they both had an insect sword and I liked imagining tallgirl Sui-feng, so that was just kind of enough... Admittedly, they do both have loosely adjacent superiority complexes centered around their fixation with a woman. We all know how that ended for Nnoitra, but it would be interesting to see Sui-feng's played out as a little more consequential and toxic.

I do like the idea of Sui-feng having a similar death sting power, but also being able to sprout extra arms and "swords" to sting with.

Unohana Retsu (✕Yammy Llargo)

Belladonna[ベラドンナ]: spanish name for the "deadly nightshade" but taken from Italian lit."beautiful lady"/[必殺美人]: "CertainKill(i.e. "Deadly") Beautiful Woman". I intended to name it something to the effect of "violent flower" but then I realized I could just name her after a literally deadly flower, and the Deadly Nightshade even has the same kind of bell flower shape as the 4th division flower insignia, so it just seemed like a good fit. Although I sorta lost any trace of Yammy's wrath gimmick in all of it.

I feel like she'd have a cool DeathDealing type power mixing the scaling power of Ira and the medical theme, but that just got me thinking about expanding this to Sternritter as well, and then I never came back to it... I have other faction fusion ideas but beyond this first set they get less and less detailed or even complete. I separated the three factions out into separate new drafts to save space. I might try to make the Espada as Captains bit presentable but the Sternitter one is more incomplete than not, and I don't see myself revisiting the brainstorming phase for it

Kuchiki Byakuya (✕Baraggan Luisenbarn)

Combining both their regal demeanors, their arrogance, their death/dying/fading motifs, and the Senbonzakura's cherryblossom imagery I got... Zempasuchiles[ゼンパスジュレス]: an alternate spelling of cempasúchil the name for "(Aztec)Marigolds" (I liked the way the alternate spelling sort of mirrored the truncated form of Sakura being Zakura) [死に十菊]: "Death(Dying) 20 Chrysanthemums" a play on shini[死に]: "dead/dying" the pun shi-ni[四二]: "four, two" and the fact that cempasúchil means "20 flower," and Cem-chil-Giku[センジュギク] being the Japanese name for cempasúchil, abbreviating it to just the first and last syllables, and appending -giku[ギク] from kiku[菊]: "chrystanthemum" in reference to both it and the marigold's phenotypical many layered petals. The marigolds are the flowers of the dead used in day of the dead decoration and ritual.

It'd be cool if it was similar to senbonzakura in that it manifests as a countless falling flower petals, but once they land on something they wither and whatever they've touched withers with them, like arrogante's aging respira.

Komamura Sajin (✕Coyote Starrk)

Using a mix of Komamura being estranged from his people and soul society and Stark's loner shtick, and of course both their wolf motifs, I got El Lobo Estepario[エル・ロボ・エステパリオ]: "The Steppenwolf" literally taken from the Spanish translation of the book Der Steppenwolf. And the kanji [荒野の狼]: "Wolf of the Wasteland" is just the Japanese translation of Der Steppenwolf. it's a bit of a lazy one, but Kubo phoned it in more than once, so I get a few freebies.

The Herman Hesse novel is btw about a neurotic middle aged playwrite grappling with his loneliness and unsociability, and what he sees as a conflict between his dignified and civilized social status and his yearning to indulge in more base and animal desires, a struggle characterized by the "wolf of the steppes", i.e. the steppe wolf, a breed of wolf known to be somewhat easily trained as guard dogs --tamed but never domesticated. It's a great timeless exploration of a neurotic self destructive man's struggle with his self image and place in society, very proto-incel shit.

I feel like it'd be cool to have a gimmick like Findorr where he has a break away mask. but instead of just getting more powerful he starts with full wolf bone armor but fights like a man, and the more of the wolf he breaks away the more feral his fighting style gets, until he's got no wolf mask left at all but he's fully devolved into animal fighting style.

Kyoraku Shunsui (✕Szayelaporro Granz)

Kind of a superficial link between these two just between Szayel's lust and Shunsui's womanizing. La Novia y Madrina[ラ・ノヴィア・イ・マドリナ]: "The Bride & Godmother" just sort of an obvious mexicanization of the visual themes already in play with Katen and Kyokotsu as spirits. [嫁姑戦争]: "bride and mother-in-law war" a Japanese term for the kind of common/stereotypical dynamic of a wife and her mother-in-law who do not get along, especially where the wife moves into the husband's family home with said in-law.

When I found this draft there wasn't even a section for any power ideas on this one.

Hitsugaya Toshiro (✕Ulquiorra Cifer)

Un Frio que Pela[ウン・フリオ・ケ・ペラ]: lit. "A Cold that Peels(the skin)" coloquially referring to uncomfortably cold weather. I thought it would make a neat cross between Hitsguaya's ice, no nonsense cold shoulder/frigid personality, and Ulquiorra's emotionless and unfeeling demeanor to try and work numbing cold into things somehow. I was messing with words for frostbite and hypothermia for a while when I came across this phrase. In buddhist naraka the mahapadma: "great lotus" is a layer of icy punishment where the condemned are made so cold that their skin cracks and splits open like the layered petals of a lotus into gory red blossoms --and it's where the Daiguren[大紅蓮]: "great red lotus" in Hyourinmaru's bankai comes from-- so a "skin peeling cold" felt like a perfect fit. For kanji I went with [摩訶鉢特摩] which is just the kanji for aforementioned mahapadma, japanized as makahadoma[まかはどま].

I think i mentioned something similar just headcanoning junk about the sternritter in wahrwelt, but I still think a cool way to handle cold powers would be entirely passive, where the domain just gets cold and keeps getting colder, so while the user is maybe conjuring something simple like ice swords or spears/icicles the real damage being done is wearing the enemy down with the cold, making them number and slower the longer the fight drags out.

Zaraki Kenpachi (✕Tier Harribel)

I was gonna go for something about hungry sharks or hunters, but given Nozarashi's weathering theme and Tier's supposed death theme of being a sacrifice I settled on Desollado[デソッラド]: "Skinned." It felt like a fun way to go as it evokes Zaraki's fight with Unohana, but also points to the aztec god Xipe Totec's epithet, "Our Flayed Lord" as he is something of a martyr, having flayed himself alive to give food to mankind. He is also portrayed as a red skinned (i mean it seems obvious that that's, like, exposed bloody red muscle and tendons) god of war which suits Zaraki's unnamed bankai. Oh right and [皮剥我主]: "My/Our Skinned Lord" obviously just the Japanese translation of Xipe Totec's common epithet.

As a power it'd be cool if the sum total of wounds dealt by Desollado make it stronger, so that as a fun twist they can turn their sword on themselves and gain power boosts that way.

Kurotsuchi Mayuri (✕Zommari Leroux)

A little on the nose, but I was trying to dodge the most obvious fit being Szayel. El Hechicero[エル・エッチセロ]: "The Sorcerer"/. But given some of the spanish etymology, there's some play on the "artificial" buried in there. I don't know that that reads at all in actual spanish but between the options i had it felt like justification enough to pick on word over the others. I like that even though I was trying to dodge Szayel, I managed to stumble into the Japanese phonetics for H[エッチ] in there anyway, so there's still some perv energy floating around. [誤魔法使] mashing together [誤魔化す]: "to deceive/cheat/swindle" and [魔法使]: "magic user," so it reads something like "false magic user," which feels appropriate for a technician type character with a science over magic disposition.

it would be cool to have a lot of gimmicky deceptive techniques like having different kinds of body doubles, either kido-like illusions, after images, or body doubles like Urahara's balloon dummies only he uses them in random ways so that counters to one method don't work on the others, and eh just kind of plays a shell game with them all. I didn't bother brainstorming a whole repertoire of Mayuri level gadgets and gimmicks

Ukitake Juushiro (✕Aaroniero Arleri)

Los Piscis Tragón[ロス・ピッシス・トラゴン]: "The Greedy Pisces." Kanji, [殺人魚群] "School of Piranha," mashing up [殺人魚] for "Piranha," and [魚群] "school of fish." If it wasn't obvious it's a play on Aaroniero's hunger and Ukitake's multiple fish. Honestly my impulse was use Tier at first and to make shark and natural order into a food chain thing, but it felt a little redundant in terms of aquatic motifs. I feel like there's something to be done with Ukitake's chronic illness and Aaroniero being two heads in a jar, but I dunno what exactly...

It feels a little too simple but my first thought was just to have little los lobos style cero fish fly around him and the more spirit energy he absorbs the more fish he makes. he can basically swallow kidou attacks whole, and take big bites out of his enemies(or allies) sort of like Szayel with his fraccion, but then also spit up new cero fish to add to his growing school. And the fish of course can chase enemies around, do the smart missile thing and dodge around stuff rather having to just fire in a straight line, and jump in the way to take hits, or kamikaze bomb enemies.

So then I got in my head for some reason to mash together the three traitors and the privaron.(also I never did determine an actual 1-10 order for these espada, other than YamamotoGrimmjow being #1(or i guess #0?) so feel free to roll some ideas around in your head and let me know what you think their ranks should be)

Aizen Sosuke(✕Gantenbein Mosqueda)

Espejo Humeante[エスペホ・ウーミアンテ]: "Smoking Mirror" another referece to aztec mythology, the epithet of Tezcatlipoca, itself describing reflective obsidian. [誤煙魔鏡]: "Misleading Smokedemon Mirror" from the word gomakasu[誤魔化す] meaning to "decieve/cheat/swindle" and the kanji for smoke and mirror, both referencing Tezcatlipoca's epithet and the English phrase, "smoke and mirrors" referring to tools of misdirection used in stage magic.

obviously leans a lot more heavily on Aizen than on Gantenbein, but I liked the idea that the dragon thing lends the smoke aspect to Aizen's mirror. I imagine the powers aren't too different from Kyoka Suigetsu's fake power if you just replace mist with smoke.

Ichimaru Gin(✕Cirucci Sanderwicci)

Destrozado(de culebra)[デストロザド]: "torn apart (Snake)" a play on the snake being torn apart by the eagle on the mexican flag. I wasn't sure if having snake in the name was too much or too obvious --a lot of these have been a little too involved on the spanish end of things compared to how many of kubo's are pretty straightforward, one word names-- and there was something kind of evocative about having just the vague subject in just "torn apart." Oh but the kanji [綻蝮]: "ripped(apart) viper" turned out is the same word for "torn apart" that BBS used in Gin's beyond bankai finisher. Funny coincidence, that. There's some stuff about the indigenous symbolism of the eagle as it related to the sun and the rattle snake in opposition that sort of suits Gin's role in opposition to Aizen, but I'll admit I wasn't ready to try too hard to make that fit any closer than that.

Didn't get around to making a power for this one.

Kaname Tousen(✕Dordoni Alessandro del Socaccio)

Veleta is a different spanish word meaning "weathercock" (as opposed to Dordoni's Giralda) but this one can apparently be used as a sland to describe someone who frequently changes their mind or sides (i.e. "a traitor") so it felt like a serendipitous fit for Tousen what with his betrayal of Komamura and SS, but also his vow to turn on Aizen if he ever thought he'd strayed, only for him to regret it all on his deathbed. There's the temptation to just give him Dordoni's dance fighting, but that feels a little eye-rollingly cliche, even though it's not like he's just Eddy Gordo.

Powers wise it would kind of neat to give him a power sort of similar to Shinji's, only instead of distorting perception of directions, just physically spinning someone around against their will. So one minute they're charging and in the blink of an eye they're suddenly facing the wrong way.

well, that's all for this block of characters. we'll see if i can mine anything postable out of the Espada as Gotei 13 captains notes I left behind, but that batch is even spottier than these were. The Sternritters I'll post never though. It was just a list of existing Sternritters where 2/3 didn't have a second half, and then bits of me not being able to figure out whether I wanted to merge them with shinigami, or espada, or a mix of fullbringers and visored, or if i wanted to go back and scrap the Espada as Shinigami one so that I could do a little musical chairs bit and make it Shinigami-Espada, Espada-Sternritter, and Sternritter-Shinigami.

#man what do i even tag this shit #i dont want it out there milling about in legit tags #maybe just keep this one to my self #my personal bleach horseshit #not even meta or headcanon #and of course im posting it in the dead of night where no one will see it #as i always somehow manage to do #bleach oc #i guess #bleach au #bleach fusions

Happy Halloween everyone! For my birthday last week, my wonderful fiancee gifted me the new Marvel Godzilla Omnibus! I had wanted to collect their previous trade paperback collection, so when I saw it was being reprinted in a big beautiful hardcover volume I knew I had to add it to my Godzilla comic collection!!

As for the actual comic, I was astounded at how well it holds up, both as a Godzilla fan and a classic comic enthusiast. Godzilla’s personality from the films is largely intact, and is consistent even now with many recent popular interpretations of the Big G. There are plenty of unique liberties writer Doug Moench takes with the character (no doubt impossible nowadays with Toho’s strict rules on depicting Godzilla), but his role as a dual destructor and heroic figure is well balanced. Sadly, I find Godzilla’s design in this comic to be the weakest link in this book. Herb Trimpe’s art styled after Jack “the King” Kirby pops for everything but the King of the Monsters, struggling with consistently drawing Godzilla’s near neon-green maw. With a flickering tongue, neatly arranged scales and burning red atomic fire the big G more closely resembles his depiction in HG Toys packaging than anything else. Still, it’s an interesting interpretation and worth reading for a different take on the King of the Monsters.

But a big draw for this comic is in the introduction of Godzilla into the Marvel universe. Luckily the crossovers are few, and used at the best opportunities. SHIELD Agent and former Howling Commando Dum Dum Dugan plays the role of curmudgeon kaiju exterminator, whose character arc is most like “the dad who didn’t want the dog” as he eventually grows to understand the emerald giant. He’s joined by scientific consults Tamara Hashioka, Dr. Takiguchi and little Rob Takiguchi who weigh in on the plot and remind audiences that even through this is through the genre of American comics, Godzilla is a wholly Japanese creature. The latter character even pilots Red Ronin, a mecha inspired by the then-popular Shogun Warriors line of toys. And of course, the series includes crossovers with the likes of the Defenders, the Fantastic Four and the Avengers just to name a few.

All in all, I would highly recommend this omnibus- with a caveat. If your love for all things Godzilla is strong and you appreciate the late-70’s to early-80’s era of the Marvel Bullpen, then this omnibus is for you! Otherwise, if your Godzilla enjoyment is limited to the modern eras it may not hit as strong, but will still entertain. The stories featuring Godzilla trampling through a cattle-rustling conflict in the west and a shrunken Godzilla slowly growing his way from the size of a rat to a man-sized Godzilla hiding from the NYC public in a trench coat and hat are easily my favorites of the bunch. Just don’t expect these comics to impress your MCU-loving normie pals, nothing Godzilla-related past issue 24 lingers in the larger Marvel universe. Still, the series is worth celebrating for it’s kaiju-sized mark left in the legacy of both Marvel and Godzilla comic culture!!

Hello my dear friend, I cordially come to ask for an Ask. As you can imagine from my requests I'm not a big fan of the famous Yae Miko, so I wanted a M!Reader that has a problem with Yae Miko and doesn't hide it, when she arrives he leaves, when she tries to talk he just ignores her. And the explanation for this would be why she provoked him (We all know that she has a certain hobby of teasing others) in a horrible situation (Like the death of a loved one or the end of a relationship) and he took it to heart . And he always looked like a normal person with no vision, but when Yae was teasing a younger person (Above 18 of course) she witnessed the sword art of M!Reader who is currently the best swordsman in the world, and that he would attack to kill because the person she was teasing was his younger brother, and he would hate for her to break his heart with her teasing. And would he keep attacking and tearing everything in two on the way, electricity? redirected, outside interference? Just balancing combat, raiden shogun itself? Two swords and pray you don't get hit by either blade. And he completely dominates the fight, pressing Yae to a point where she really thought it would be her end, but the Brother of M!Reader stopped him explaining that he knew about Yae's provocations but he wasn't taking it seriously, narrowly saving his life. from Yokai. And the M!Reader wouldn't care if Sara or Raiden had gotten in the way, he would just hold his brother's hand and walk away as if nothing had happened, what would be the reaction of both Yae and the ''Powers'' of inazuma with such an event? And I got a little carried away, sorry

The Shrine Incident Imagines

A/N: Hello! Cordially it indeed was. So extensive, in fact, that I decided to try out a new format - this time more true to its core idea - imagines! First time doing the real thing, so I hope everyone likes it.

CW: Male!Reader.

Miko would be surprised to say the least.

Yes, she indeed knew that annoying the army's second in command, just after his unit suffered heavy losses in the war, wasn't right. But she never expected to face actual consequences for her actions. She never did. The most Sara usually did was huff, flap her wings a bunch and leave when Miko amused herself at the Tengu's expense.

And to think a human could have a worse temper than a Tengu…

Miko never expected him to have a Vision. Unlike many others, he chose to hide it instead of showcasing it to the world, as a surprise element, Miko thought. And she suffered quite the shock one day indeed.

She was just minding her own business, or rather making others uncomfortable and miserable for fun. A young soldier came to the shrine to pray. As he was leaving, Miko did her thing - caught his attention and marveled at his shy and uncomfortable reactions when she got too close and personal, both physically and in conversation. And then…

Leave the boy alone, the man said. She looked at him with a mocking smile. Or what?

He approached closer, standing barely a few inches away. He repeated his order. Leave. Him. Alone.

Miko then huffed, annoyed at his rough tone. Ordering Kitsune, are we? You are either bold, or just not that gifted in the mind.

What Miko didn't expect was him drawing his blade. He repeated the words one more time, but Miko summoned her weapon in response. Before she could give him a scolding speech, he already moved towards her. She summoned her shield, but it was shattered with a Pyro-infused strike, throwing her back. She quickly got to her feet, shaking the shock of the resistance she has not experienced from a mortal in hundreds of years.

She moved on to attack, but the resonance between their visions made anything she threw at him next to useless. Even worse, he seemed to have a great deal of experience in using his vision in combat, as would be expected from a warrior of such high standing. Miko had to push down her pride and call for the shrine guards to help.

The Kitsune expected them to be cut to pieces, but instead, the general stunned and disabled them without lethal blows. A strike with the flat side of the sword to the head was enough to knock down many guards, coupled with vicious kicks and punches. A few minutes were enough to turn a group of trained professionals into a mumbling mess on the floor, clutching their hurt heads and broken limbs. Miko growled in frustration - those humans were useless…

Just as she was about to call Sara, a new face appeared on the mountain top. A younger man, dressed in uniform as well. Quite similar to the general, who was now holding Miko against a wall in his iron grasp. He stretched out his arm at the general. "Y/N! Don't hurt her!"

Y/N eased his grasp, letting Miko get a few gasps of air in.

"I'm sure she didn't know!"

"Know about what exactly?" Miko responded.

Y/N turned at her, and practically growled out the words. "That man has lost his parents in the war, and came here to pray for their souls. And you, Yokai, have the nerve to strike at him in such a grim situation?"

Miko looked down, and for the first time in a hundred years, felt ashamed of herself.

"Forgive me, general. I didn't know."

"You should ask him for forgiveness, Miko." Y/N dropped her to the ground, and left with his brother.

Sara arrived shortly after the incident, and was understandably angry at Y/N. She was going to call him into court, until she learned all the details. The Tengu gladly crumpled up and discarded the file. She whipped up a new sheet of paper, and began writing a call for payment to the Guuji. It was her fault, and so it should be her wallet that covers the medical bills.

The story was… honestly amusing to Ei. She had known Miko for quite a long time, and the moments when she got her due were always fun to hear about, even if the Archon didn't admit it openly.

Both women, however, agreed on keeping a closer watch on Y/N. It was fine, as long as the small disagreement remained a one-off event.

Thanks for reading!

BHOC: SHOGUN WARRIORS #3

In the years to come, anime would become an important part of my life. Through anime fandom, I would meet some of my closest lifelong friends, and also develop the skills that allowed me to succeed during my internship at Marvel Comics. But in 1979, all of that lay ahead of me. I had no particular awareness of anime at the time (though I had obsessively watched GIGANTOR and SPEED RACER when I was…
