Missing Someone

(Nagi x Chigiri friendship fanfic. "Blue Lock" is by Kaneshiro Muneyuki, and illustrated by Nomura Yusuke)

Zantetsu was spouting something nonsense again as he adjusted his glasses, but Kiyora could not be bothered. After their game, the five of them (Zantetsu, Kiyora, Barou, Chigiri, and Nagi) were confined in quarters away from where Rin and his team were. Kiyora was so chill-faced he didn't give a damn about the ways of his teammates. Therefore, Zantetsu pretending to be smart, Nagi and his lazy tendencies, Chigiri's obsession with his hair, or Barou's demanding ways was nothing to him. He'd just have to deal with them, after all. Besides, it was temporary.

But Barou was not Kiyora. He was already annoyed as it is that Chigiri and Nagi, who he had lived with for a longer time after Rin stole Isagi, had left their personal belongings scattered all over their room again. And not to mention, Zantetsu talking about Nagi's tendencies while using idiomatic expressions the wrong way was making Barou angrier than he already was. He wondered when the Second Selection would end so he would not have to live in a pigsty with teammates who could not clean up. If only Rin stole Nagi instead of Isagi...

And while Maid Barou was busy nagging while picking up clothes for laundry, Nagi and Chigiri were lying next to each other, watching on Nagi's phone some previous World Cup games when Messi played against Noel Noa.

"You have enough points now, Chigiri," Nagi said. "Maybe you could exchange it with your phone for a day."

Chigiri smiled in embarrassment. "Yeah, never thought of using my points at all. I could have gotten my phone before and exchanged numbers with Kunigami."

"Yeah, too bad," Nagi replied. "I wish you'd get your phone so we'd exchange numbers."

"Do you have a social media account?"

"I have but I don't use it," Nagi replied. "It's Reo handling my socials because he has a soc-med manager to do that."

"I can understand Reo though. His social media is handled by a manager because he's a local celebrity in his father's corporation, so his image should be handled well. But why would he let a manager handle your account?" Chigiri asked.

"I really don't know," Nagi said as he looked for another Noel Noa video to watch. "Maybe Reo just handled mine by himself. Mendokusai."

"Do you know your password, at least?" Chigiri asked. "So that we can be friends."

"No. Reo does it all," Nagi said, drawling. "What's your number? So I can send you a message and you can save my number afterwards."

"I'm glad you're not lazy with that, at least," Chigiri said before telling Nagi his mobile phone number.

After that, Nagi sent Chigiri a text message, informing the other that it's him.

"I should take out my phone later," Chigiri said. "I should learn how to exchange my points for perks."

"You really should," Nagi said. "Reo did that back in the First Selection, and all of us had comfortable beds for the duration of that ordeal."

"Aww, lucky you," Chigiri said. "We all had to lie down on the floor during that time."

And in the background, Barou was screaming at Zantetsu that instead of spouting off nonsense, they all should study their English lessons just like what Kiyora was currently doing.

"Ha, what's the point? I thought I would not be studying here in Blue Lock," Nagi groaned to Chigiri.

"All right! I love English. I could tutor you if you want," Chigiri cheered as he replied to Nagi.

"English is not my strong point, but if I have plans of becoming the strongest striker in the world, English would come in handy," Nagi said, still looking at his phone.

At the background, Zantetsu was arguing with Barou. Chigiri rolled his eyeballs before stating about the bespectacled guy, "I really can't believe he's that nonsensical."

"Yeah. Interchanged his shirt and pants, and misunderstood the rules for the dorm tag game," Nagi said as he pressed play on the video. "Reo sometimes corrected him, while I gave up doing so."

Sure, the dorm tag game was scary, but Chigiri still managed to escape the ball. But he had been looking for ways to get out of Blue Lock and get some closure with his soccer career. Had he been the "it," he would not pass the ball to anyone and just let the time end and had himself locked off. But Zantetsu not understanding the rules of the game was hilarious in itself. So Chigiri laughed. But he realized Nagi was staring at him.

"Nani? Is something on my face?"

"I will not wonder why you say Kunigami said he is fond of you," Nagi told him.

The mention of that made Chigiri blush. He knew he had told it to Barou and Nagi once before Zantetsu and Kiyora joined, but it still made him shy.

"Eh? Doushite?"

"Because you laugh like one of Reo's fan girls," Nagi said in his usual deadpan manner.

"Oy, baka, I am not a girl! Why does everyone here thinks I am a girl?" Chigiri asked.

"Because you look like one," Nagi said. "And sometimes act like one."

And Chigiri pouted cutely, which reminded Nagi of Reo's fan girl who got dejected when Reo told her that he's hanging out with Nagi to play soccer with him.

"But I am badass, dude!" Chigiri retorted, still with a cute frown.

"Only in the field, dude," Nagi shot back playfully. "Don't deny that you like him. It's obvious."

So Chigiri gave up. There's no arguing with it comes to the lazy white-haired beanpole. Nagi shrugged and said that someday, the hero and the princess will reunite.

"How about you?" Chigiri asked. "Do you miss Reo?"

Nagi paused the vid they were watching and turned to Chigiri with sad eyes.

"Yes. I would be lying if I say I don't miss him," Nagi explained, his eyes almost becoming cloudy. "I am not emotional, but Reo is making me."

"I could see that," Chigiri said. "After all, both of you attended the same school and are in the same team."

"No one wanted to make friends with me. Not that I mind. But Reo was seriously the first person who befriends someone as lazy and unmotivated as me," Nagi said. "Not in my wildest dreams would I ever imagine that my best friend is someone who is filthy rich. And Reo is not selfish when it comes to sharing with me the luxuries that he enjoys."

Chigiri smirks, "That sounds like a drama trope. A super rich guy falling head over heels for an ordinary girl."

"Yeah, looks like it," Nagi said. "I once explained it like that to Isagi, but he could not totally understand it because he watches shonen anime."

"But Reo is totally a different level, you know?" Chigiri said. "I mean, when you said that his otou-san hired a powerhouse high school soccer team to have a practice game against you, it felt like those in dramas where a rich mother-in-law uses all her influence and her money just to separate her son from the love of his life. I could not believe hearing it in real life and from someone I know here in Blue Lock. I swear, when Kunigami and I were with Reo, I totally forgot he was the son of a very rich man."

But of course, Chigiri never shared to Nagi that time when he and Kunigami caught Reo pulling out toothbrush bristles while playing something similar to "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not." That would creep Nagi out.

"Despite Reo's otou-san being meddlesome, I am envious because his parents look out for him. Mine never cared if I attended school... or if I am still alive."

"Poor you," Chigiri said. "Do you know how happy I am to have met you? I now have friends who I can play fast-paced soccer with."

"I am also happy to have met everyone like Reo and me, despite Zantetsu's baka tendencies and Maid Barou's nagging."

"Who you calling Maid, huh?!?!?!?!" Barou shouted from the background as he threw a pillow at Nagi.

But it was Kiyora, who was silently and diligently studying English, who got hit with the pillow. Maid Barou did not apologize. He still hated being called 'Maid Barou' that he still addressed Nagi as 'Mr. Bothersome.'

"Ora, you committed a grave sin against Kiyora-kun!" Nagi told Barou. "Be on your knees and kowtow your deepest apologies to him, Fake King."

"Nandato!!!!! You making fun of me, huh?! Mr. Bothersome??" Barou growled very angrily.

"Can everyone let me live in peace?" Kiyora, in his deadpan voice, asked as he stood up to sit by the corner. He just wanted to study without interruptions.

"Can we eat our lunch now?" Nagi said to Chigiri. "So that Maid Barou can have all his time to clean our room."

"Nandato?" Barou errupted.

****

Zantetsu joined Nagi and Chigiri in eating lunch so that Maid Barou could clean the room. Later, Chigiri noticed that while he and Zantetsu already finished their food, Nagi was still halfway through his meal.

"Can I eat your steak?" Zantetsu asked Nagi.

"Why do we have to eat?" Nagi complained. "I wish Reo's otou-san will fund a scientist to make an over-the-counter stomach opener so that I could just zip my stomach close and open and put food inside. Chewing is a hassle."

As he pushed his tray towards Zantetsu for the latter to continue eating his food, he complained to Chigiri.

"I wish Reo were here to give me a piggyback. Or someone like Isagi who will pull me around," he complained.

Chigiri smirked. It was known to everyone in Building 5 before that Reo piggybacked Nagi. And during the earlier stage of the Second Selection, it was Isagi who would pull Nagi around for meals despite the fact that Barou could do the job because he was muscular and could piggyback Nagi.

"If Kunigami were here, he'd do that for you," Chigiri sighed.

"Who's Kunigami?" Zantetsu asked lackadaisically. "Was he that very tall guy with silver bun and very wide eyes and looks like he spaces out all the time?"

Chigiri grimaced. Who in the world was Zantetsu talking about? And it hit him that Zantetsu was describing someone else.

"No, not him. That's Gagamaru. Kunigami is that hot guy with orange hair," Chigiri complained.

Nagi smirked even though he was tired. Seriously, Chigiri described his former teammate as someone hot.

"Hot guy? The one with shark teeth?" Zantetsu asked.

"That's Raichi! Never mind. I'm not telling you anymore who's who," Chigiri said.

"Ah yes, your friend Kunigami would make for a nice automobile to carry me around when I am tired," Nagi said

He remembered that incident at the public bath because Isagi was talking with a ginger-haired guy aside from Chigiri. He remembered thinking how muscular the other guy was, and how the other man's physique was a plus factor when holding the ball in their team's possession. No wonder Barou wanted the other guy in their team. And Nagi suddenly flopped his head on the dining table.

"Oy, seriously?" Chigiri asked. "This lazy child. Nagi, I can't carry you. Just stand up and I'll drag you to our room."

Nagi sluggishly stood up and let the pink-haired guy hold his hand. Chigiri admonished Nagi for not eating properly, which made him so weak, tired, and sleepy all the time.

"What nourishment do you ever get?" Chigiri said. "When you play so actively in the field, it really looks like you are eating healthy."

Nagi yawned as he allowed Chigiri to hold his hand and lead him. He was not in the mood to really walk.

"Aw, shucks, my bad. I should have let Zantetsu piggyback me to our room," he said.

Chigiri just laughed, "Just let him finish eating. After all, he's eating your leftovers. He's doing you a favor, you know?"

Chigiri suddenly remembered the time he told Kunigami that the ginger-haired guy should piggyback him as well if he would injure his knee so that they could score a goal. He was somehow envious that Nagi got to be piggybacked while he hadn't experience how that felt like as a high school student.

As they approached their room, Barou and Kiyora went out of the room for lunch.

"Oy, I really made our room extremely clean. Don't play trap again, and definitely not my shoes," Barou told the pink-haired guy.

"Haiii," was Chigiri's lazy reply.

"Why are you dragging Nagi like a child?" Barou asked.

"Because we are friends," Nagi said as he pouted.

"Whatever," Barou grumbled as he and Kiyora headed to the dining hall.

****

By the time Chigiri entered the room, he carefully aided Nagi on his bed so that the latter could comfortably settle down. Nagi flopped on his belly, took out his phone, and started tinkering.

"Have I told you about Choki?" Nagi asked Chigiri as he showed the pink-haired guy a photo of his cactus.

Chigiri laughed. Nagi was just so weird. "You haven't. You have a name for your cactus?"

"I guess it's just the same as having a name for a pet dog or pet cat. Or pet sugar glider," Nagi said before he continued. "He's with Ba-ya now. I hope Ba-ya waters him not that frequently."

"Who's Ba-ya?" Chigiri asked.

"She's Reo's faithful servant and chauffer."

"Reo's living the life, I guess," Chigiri sighed.

"Do you know he has a whole floor for himself? And a whole building by his family?"

"Ha! I can only wish," Chigiri said as he lay down nex to Nagi on the latter's bed.

"And do you know that Ba-ya has the nose of a witch?" Nagi asked.

Chigiri laughed heartily. What did Reo see in Nagi aside from the latter's amazing trap skills? Probably, there's more to that as far as Reo was concerned, but Nagi was so fun to be with. Before Zantetsu and Kiyora were with the team, the two of them would gang up on Barou because the latter was so hot-tempered.

"Reo might get pissed off if his faithful servant is called a 'witch,'"

"But she has a really long nose like a witch," Nagi replied innocently.

This time, it was Chigiri who stared at Nagi. "You really miss Reo, do you?"

Nagi turned off his phone and turned around to lie on his back.

"Hai. But being free from him is also a nice change of pace," Nagi said. "I was used to being left alone, and then suddenly, someone cared for me. It's nice, but Reo could be over the top. Just because he found me, he did not have to mold me like he wanted just for us to fulfill our dream together."

"It's the first time I hear you say it," Chigiri said.

"I kept it for a long time. I would be dishonest if I say that the look on his eyes when he slapped my hand away at the public bath, or when he looked at me when our team chose you, did not affect me at all."

"Hmmm.."

"I was hurt because he was so nice to me," Nagi said. "I started seeing soccer as fun, thanks to him recruiting me. But he did not have to be so bitter as to bitch on me choosing Isagi. I needed to change in order to be better. This is Blue Lock, after all."

Chigiri remembered that incident at the meeting when Reo mentioned he'd not choose Nagi should they win so that Nagi will feel his pain. Kunigami had told him not to get too emotionally attached because the team also involved him and Chigiri. The red-haired guy wondered if Nagi was just too logical and cannot read social cues, or if he could just not tell his feelings properly.

Ah, an introverted man, that's what Nagi was, Chigiri realized.

"I could not look at Kunigami as I walked away," Chigiri confessed, his chest tightening when he remembered that incident. "It hurts me too because we made a pact together, and we could not even be together to fulfill it. I could not stand hearing him so bitterly as I went to your side. I am wondering when I can see him again."

Nagi bit his lower lip pensively. He wanted to get away from Reo, hoping the two of them would grow up apart so they could be together later. And here was a friend who hoped with all his heart to stay with a friend until the end to fulfill their wish together.

But this was Blue Lock. Your closest friend would be your rival eventually. And the system was bringing friends away from each other.

"He was always so patient with me even though he could not understand me at times. And he liked hanging out with me," Chigiri said. "Everyone in Team Z knew that. That's why I regretted not getting his phone number even though we spent so much time together during the three-man team."

Regret. That feeling Chigiri greatly felt inside the facility. Nagi did not regret telling Reo what he wanted to do because he did not want to regret not doing his best.

"Where do you live now, Nagi?"

"At the school dorm. By myself."

"Aww, poor you," Chigiri crooned. "Someday, I will bring you to my house. You, Reo, Bachira, Isagi, and Kunigami, if I could get his number. My okaa-san loves cooking, and she cooks really well. We could also hang out in my room, around the kotatsu."

Nagi felt envious. His friend was excitedly talking about his mother, and he wished he could do the same. He imagined the delicious food that Chigiri's okaa-san would cook, and he imagined them friends around the kotatsu. That should be nice. As the others would be chatting while munching in snacks, he would wrap his side of the futon and lie down to sleep. Ah, no wonder he and Chigiri are friends.

"I really miss the time when I would read my sci-fi novels while sipping tea and relaxing in my kotatsu," Chigiri gushed dreamily. "I also wish I have my own black cat to cuddle with."

"You like cats?" Nagi asked.

"Hai! They are cute! But I like black cats more. Probably I could decorate them with jewelry so their fur will look like the night sky with stars."

"You don't really look like it, Princess," Nagi said. "Despite you trash-talking people in the field, or running at top speed for your goal, but out of the field, you seem to be a homebody."

"Yeah, that's why I enjoy watching videos with you. The book I have when I came here was confiscated by that woman with Ego-san. What's her name?"

"Can't remember, sorry," Nagi said. As if to remember something, he told Chigiri, "Will you really let me visit your house once we get out of here?"

"Sure!" Chigiri said cheerfully. "We can hang out lazily in my room. Turtle and cat, how does that sound?"

"That sounds nice," Nagi said. "For once, I want to try having a friend who does not talk all the time. Because a lot of times, Reo does."

"Now, now, don't talk about at Reo like that," Chigiri told him. "He's still your best friend, after all."

"I know... but I can't help it... But will you also let Kunigami in your room if me or the others will not come to your house?"

Chigiri replied with a shy smile, "Of course. He's my closest friend here in Blue Lock. We love chatting about anime and other different stuff, though I cannot relate to his talks about muscles. But we probably could do things on our own silently in my room. He'd work out while I read my novels."

"That's cute," Nagi remarked. "But I really am looking forward to hanging out with you in your house. I want to meet your okaa-san."

Chigiri rubbed Nagi's hair as he remarked, "You must be very lonely."

"Before Reo, I was. But I am happy now, thanks to friends I meet here in Blue Lock... And because of Reo."

"Yeah, it shows," Chigiri said. "Reo holds a special place in your heart."

Nagi stretched out his limbs as he yawned. He had not eaten a lot, and the room was cold, but he really wanted his nap by now.

"Ah, I wish the Second Selection would not end yet," Nagi said as he yawned. "I want to sleep more."

"Okay, just close your eyes for your noon nap. I'll arrange my care kit," Chigiri said as he got up from Nagi's bed.

The pink-haired guy went back to his bed and grabbed his care kit to arrange his stuff. It used to be so disarranged until Isagi arranged the contents for him. Now, it became a habit of his to arrange it like Isagi did. As he silently kept himself busy, his thoughts flew back to his orange-haired friend. The thoughts made him warm, bittersweet, and sad.

"Where are you now, Rensuke? Are you still fighting hard to get here too? I can't wait to see you again. I want to see you... I want to hang out with you again. There's so many things I want to tell you. And honestly, it's only Nagi here who's a pleasure to talk with. I remember those lazy times when we'd hang out on your bed or at the gym, and we would talk about crazy stuff. I wish I could invite you to my room so we could watch 'One Piece' and 'Shingeki no Kyojin' together. Or we could hang out at a kombini or at a coffee shop. I miss you so much, Rensuke."

Nagi, meanwhile, put an arm on his eyes to cover his face from the light in the room. As he started to slumber, his thoughts flew back to how Reo looked when he told the purple-haired guy that he was tired of caring what Reo thought. His chest started to tighten at the memory, and he did his best to not let some tears fall as he started to sleep.

"Reo, there's a lot I want to tell you. Over and over, my heart is filled with regrets much as it is filled with hope. I hope to get stronger so that we can play together again. I regret not explaining it to you properly, or how we should set our expectations right because we are here in Blue Lock. If I could have it any other way, Reo, if I could have loved soccer earlier just like you, if Blue Lock did not exist and we continue playing for our school, I will never leave you like this. Talking with Chigiri here is my sense of peace because he lets me be lazy, and I enjoy spending time with him more than our other team members now. Reo, where are you now? I hope you are fighting as hard as me to get out of Second Selection. I want to see you again. I want to talk to you again. I want to hear your chatty voice. I miss you, Reo. I miss you so much, but I cannot show it."

Ren woke in a cold sweat, sitting up in a panic- grabbing at his chest. It hurt. Everything was dark, but a small amount of light came from his phone. He blinked, and then blinked again, clearing the blur from his eyes- or trying his best to. It was harder than it should have been, he felt what he could only assume was blood trying its best to drip down into them.

In front of him stood.. Something. It was too hard to see, and when his visions finally cleared a bit, whatever it was.. Was gone. He felt so cold. It took him a few tries to unlock his phone. The crack in the screen sure didn't help. Neither did the glitching, but he still managed to open his messages, after getting bombarded with a metric ton of notification buzzes. The clock on it read 4am.

4 hours..

He sent a quick message to Akechi, ignoring the pain. There was just no time for backreading.

REN: Hello? Am I here? Can you get this..

He was too tired to work on getting kanji to work on the keyboard.

AKECHI: You. Where have you been?

AKECHI: Why are you talking like a five year old? Are you drunk?

REN: What. No. Something happened. Injured.

AKECHI: You didn't think to message earlier? No alarm bells in your brain to report this when it actually happened?

REN: No.. Passed out. Just woke up. At the university.

AKECHI: ... You idiot. I'll be right there. If you so much as protest my help again, I won't hesitate to knock you out myself. Do you understand?

REN: ...Yes.

Really, Akechi didn't have to worry about that, because whatever had caused the spike of adrenaline, it was wearing off fast.

He at least scooted himself back against the hallway wall for something to lean on, wiping at his forehear with a sleeve. Things were getting dark again. It wasn't going to hurt to close his eyes..

-----------

When they opened again, he was staring up at a set of flourescent lights. He squinted against them, once again sitting up-

Or.. Tried to. This time, he was stopped by the tip of an umbrella. He looked down at it, then over to it's owner. Akechi stared him down with hard, red eyes. His hair was pulled back into a little ponytail. It looked nice on him.

"What do you think you're trying to do?"

"... Sit up?"

The umbrella tip jabbed at his chest, forcing him back down. Ren raised his hands in surrender.

"Fine.."

"That's what I thought. Are you going to tell me why you were passed out in a pool of your own blood? Or am I going to have to make you?"

Joker met his eyes. He didn't have his glasses on. Those steely grey met red and held the gaze.

"Spoiler alert, I won't be nice about it."

Ren's gaze finally slipped, giving in first. At this point, his mind was sharpened enough to realize that he was at a hospital. More specifically, he was a patient at a hospital. His eyes gazed down to his arm. No fuzz..

From beside him, another voice spoke. It startled him so bad, he jumped just a tiny bit.

"As much as I do agree in my anger at his actions, I'm really not sure how much an interrogation is going to get you answers from a sick man faster."

His head turned, it was Yusuke. On a monday..

"I don't hear you coming up with any better ideas." Akechi scoffed back, pulling the umbrella once more over to his side.

"He's so stuck in his own head, I'm not even sure anything but an interrogation will get it out of him."

"Nonsense," Fox scoffed, sliding forward a bit in his chair. Ren was still staring at him, and now he stared back. "Come now, Ren. Will you tell us why you were at your school in a puddle of blood?"

Ren continued to stay silent. Akechi laughed.

"What did I tell you."

Why did they need to know so badly now? His head was pounding. Chest still hurt. While the two bickered, Ren looked around for his phone.

"Looking for this?" Akechi asked, and Ren looked over to see him dangling his phone from his fingertips. In this lighting, it was easy to see how damaged the device had gotten.

"I'll give it back.. If you start talking."

"Fine. Stayed late to check on a ghost story.. Something hit me hard some time past midnight. Woke up and messaged you. All I really remember."

"A ghost story? In a university? Hm.. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but yet I still am. I have to wonder if it was the theatrics students who spread such a thing."

Ren stayed quiet. Normally, he loved to goad Fox on in his thoughts. Not right now though.

Neither did Akechi, but that one wasn't new.

"A ghost story. Are you trying to tell me you got injured chasing after ghosts?"

Ren nodded. Crow wasn't wrong.

"Then is it safe to assume you found one?"

Ren's head turned a bit back to Yusuke.

"Yes. Found something. Not crazy.. Could exist. Like us.."

Akechi leaned a bit on the umbrella. His eyes were still a little more on the callous side. Ren had a lot of apologizing to do later. He walked over, closer to the bedside, and took one of Joker's hands in his own.

"Your daftness pisses me off, Ren. You went into that which would have taken a team of misfits in the past to be safe. All the while, your friends and I had no idea at all."

"Teamwork is something you strive for in every aspect of your life. Yet, apparently, when it comes to something that could get you hurt, you now run away from asking for help like a flea-ridden puppy with its tail between its legs."

Ren winced away from that.

"Sorry... Had a fever. Wasn't thinking straight."

"It looks like he still does have one, so I think that's enough of this for tonight."

Fox stood up, crossing his arms. "There are easier ways to say that you were worried. Better ones, even. You still lack a bit of empathy when you speak."

Now it was Fox and Crow's turn to glare at each other. Ren found himself nodding off again, without even realizing it.

------

When he woke up, Akechi was gone. Ren could feel his heart wrenching. He would have a lot to talk to him about later.

As mad as he was, he deserved to be. Joker really didn't know what he had been doing. More than that, he had been so sure of himself that nothing bad was going to happen from chasing after what was probably a rumor started by a student or two.

"Awake again, I see. Are you feeling any better?"

He was feeling worse. He hadn't even been awake that long and he felt like his was burning up.

"Ren.."

Ren looked over again, actually able to sit up this time. Next to him, his phone. Akechi had left it after all.

"Do you feel well enough to talk? We have a bit of time to ourself. Akechi and Morgana went to get you some better food than what they tried to bring you. He threw a fit large enough that you could have thrown it all at an entire large canvas and it would still hit the wall behind it."

today’s noah tidbit of the day is that noah is a guy who cannot stay up past 11 pm without spontaneously faling asleep and in those last minutes of being awake he enters a sleepy haze where he says stuff that he would never have the audacity to say if he were awake. this is how he ended up telling yusuke he wants to move in together and marry him on accident. and sometimes he just says something ridiculous and nonsensical that he will get teased for until the end of time

#squishy talks too much #everything he says after 10:30 pm is probably unintentional #bc he is so so tired #hi guys do you love my oc posts i will keep makjng them #noah kitagawa

Tactica-Kingdom 3

Why does it look like P2?

Now it looks like Arena.

Ann looks straight out of Scooby-Doo. 🤣🤣

So we went from the French Revolution to the Meji (?) Restoration/ feudal Japan to school with a door to hell...

Okay 🤠With hair.

They actually call them 🤠 people. I thought they were evil this time around.

They're roasting Ryuji 🤣🤣

He's made of fire?

Back to hell.

Ryuji ain't going to last if he keeps that up.

How the hell are we supposed to hit the enemy from down here? I'm pretty sure nobody brought their go go gadget boots.

Yusuke's willing to be friends with Ann even if she turns into a monster. 🤣🤣 Never change, Yusuke.

Bandaids?

Sad past time.

Class President, I can see that.

I love how Ren manages to look so pissed off but so cute at the same time. 😍😍

Poor Yusuke 🤣🤣

How old is Toshiro?

Ryuji gets some good lines.

I like the hell landscape.

I love how they sometimes speak without moving their teeth. That's a talent.

Is that Yoshida?

I love Ren's little nod.

I love how they seem to open doors with their elbow.

Can Futaba stop with her doom and gloom when you get hit? You could take 10 damage, have plenty of health left and Futaba's screaming about how you're going to die. It reminds me of dancing where if the meter dropped too low, people started yelling. It's horribly stressing.

I love how Haru holds the front of her hat.

My man's a robot?

The battle music can get on your nerves.

Toshiro fought, with what Persona?

I kinda figured that was too easy, but hoped it would be that easy.

Dude had a mental shutdown without having a mental shutdown.

So, he's going to be charged with attempted murder, right?

Only cowards say "if you didn't expose me. I wouldn't have pushed her in front of a train". It has very " I only hit her because she makes me mad". Or "He likes it when I hurt him". vibes

🤬🤬How damn brain dead are people?

I feel sorry for Ryuji. Makoto could've grabbed his ear.

Futaba and Yusuke can make coffee?

Ren doesn't seem like he has a lot of facial expressions. Which sucks, I want to see him react to stuff. At least it's better than Sun/Moon, where you have this stupid 😐😐 while Lillie's mom is getting dragged into the Ultra World. (I mean she does deserve it) but still, at least be shocked or something.

I hate the 🤠 people here.

I love the engine/gun shot star.

That is one freaky shadow.

Is this going in a 4 direction?

Mummy wrappings

Ernesto has a very cool design. (It reminds me of Loki with the colour scheme) {Sometimes women have men's names and vice versa} Probably hell to draw.

I honestly thought Toshiro was going to be the bad guy.

My man floats.

That is fucked up on so many levels. I think I've seen a game like this.

How is this game still T?

5K health!

It looks like EMMA and Neo Featherman mixed together. (I'm not going to count it as the 4th Kingdom till they get to a new location).

Choo Choo Charles flashbacks 🚂🕷

Ryuji almost got run over 🤣🤣

How can Lavenza see to drive?

I honestly thought this happened at the beginning of the game. Morgana's talking nonsense.

🤣🤣 Blue children

🤣🤣 Toshiro's going to get his ass kicked

🤣🤣 Poor Yusuke

I hope there's seatbelts.

15 save slots

Melty people.

So... Maruki?

So Toshiro's mind is the engine?

Who's drawing the pictures?

Lavenza drives about as well as Haru.

collected decade thots+analysis [to ep 25]

bold: calling back to another point OR something added afterwards

italics: notes from another person

写真 - sha+shin, made of copy/truth 写心 - sha+shin, but copy/heart he miswrote and had to cross out "heart" and write the hiragana but writing the hiragana means he doesnt knwo the second kanji is actually 真 so his pictures are an image of your soul . and also he cant write. im going to kms

source: pas warriorfujoshi

i know hes saying "peel" because shes a tangerine but 肌を剥くぞ　is literally "im going to tear your skin off" and its driving me to tears

> start decade after yrs of internal beef with kadoya tsukasa

> the world doesnt accept his being, he knows things he doesnt remember why he knows, things unconsciously stream out of him easily that he has consciously forgotten, no matter where he goes he is actively being rejected by existence itself and he doesnt know why

> he does not belong here, he does not belong anywhere

> and yet he moves forward anyway

> start screaming

both worlds hes been to so far have made him stand not exactly as monster (though identified with them at times, as riders often are) but also literally dehumanize him by making him stand as an other to the world’s humans as well, inherently discluding him from actually existing in that world by default whether human or beast. and while that external perspective can help him end fights, it again means there is no world in which he is not an outsider, and there is no place he actually belongs

he doesnt belong anywhere and all the worlds actively reject him by labeling him an ULF or that hes dangerous that hes not linto that hes somehow not human in the way other people are human and it doesnt let him connect with others

this includes his rider suit being obviously "other" to all other suits, that even other kamen riders do not recognize him as an ally and are instantly on guard against him up until the very end

hes told over and over he exists as to destroy and he has no place for himself and hes not even really considered human in the worlds he goes to hes always some nebulous Other, made to fit the world but never made to belong

i cant trust other people - natsumi and yusuke i cant feel the pain of others - he smugly (front) pushes people into addressing their issues and continuing their story im just going along with that idiot - AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH "im not human im just acting like it" YOU ARE HUMAN DIKEIDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

from: pas warriorfujoshi

while the premises of these individual plots seem a bit nonsensical im really enjoying the way decade plays with established lore to do both reuse old and do new things- getting to reuse old suits and kaijin, the directing and areas matching their shows, a new ryuki rider suit, playing with time vent, seeing BOARD be a real company. I’ll be real I’m making this post because the sequence of BOARD having to authorize the blade riders henshins made me so happy

i cant believe decade is like ichigo is gay for real and renshin cannon king but then kenhaji is doomed here too there is no blade/chalice love is fake. they cant even have anything in an AR world

decade sincerely critiquing capitalism?!

and an extremely kenzaki face. in this moment, they are one.

you know now that i think about it a lot of decade so far has been about "accepting outsiders"

tsukasa is affiliated with the heroes of the story, sure, but when someone is disadvantaged she always steps up to help them even if its in her own dickhead tsukasa way

the orphnochs yelling "humans have always excluded and hated us!" is cementing it

tsukasa is just as much of an outsider, and he cant belong to any of these worlds, but the world itself does try to help him fit in

and then everyone ends up loving him despite it not being her Place To Be

[4] it's really compounded by how unbending he is. he says he doesnt understand others, he cant trust them, he doesnt feel joy the same way, but his raw force of will combined with other's belief in HIM lets him get through anything

tsukasa himself can never capture the same face twice, as hes the one behind the camera, and technically he himself doesnt have to be seen within the stories he journeys through. but a space is made for him anyway- for the one behind the camera

[long break where i was talking about blade cast members instead of watching my damn show]

this is all shes been doing the whole time wdym

tsukasa told momo to stand up and imagin(e) a form for himself and then the card glowed and final form ride was used and momo was restored… tsukasa "cant take pictures" but his imagination is broad and wide and she helps people find themselves

tsukasa can see through to ones true self just like her photos do

first time daiki has ever actually gotten mad at tsukasa

8. why is daiki working for the roach something worth making her Fourteen's Most Wanted when the roach are the ones in charge

9. thats not the real reason...

10. itd be defecting and leaving .

11. or maybe something even beyond that, but i think even just doing that is pretty dire in a place like this

12. maybe the two other riders believe because daiki defected jun'ichi was abducted and brainwashed [only slightly incorrect]

13. but i kind of get the feeling jun'ichi isnt

14. [13] yappari na

15. it wasnt for any heroic reason it wasnt for free will - daiki herself invented a program to "fix" people before - it wasnt for values - daiki is not a typical rider and laughs in the face of sentimentality, even as a front - it wasnt for the other riders - daiki is willing to hurt them to keep them out of her way

16. it was just for her brother himself

17. not that free will wasnt a factor. obviously the knowledge that jun'ichi believes in it and acknowledges it is important and the fact that daiki is so averse to any show of kindness would make it so she wishes if she ever came back it wouldnt be like this, clinical and stiff and fake

i want to point out jun'ichi's usage of destroy here ......

from: pas warriorfujoshi

but in this case the "destroy" daiki wants to do is break down the structures of the roaches influence on her brother. she functionally wants to literally destroy the world that exists as it is and have it be born anew

All she wanted from the beginning of leaving her world was to return with the power to save her brother . She would break down the entire world to do that

losing your own identity to keep the spirit of the brother you love alive... losing faith in yourself and in everything else because the world took the one you loved away from you.....to have one stupid schmuck take your hand and refuse to let go and look you in the eyes and go I trust you. I believe in you. And you can believe in yourself.

HAVE HIM SEE THROUGH YOU SO EASILY EVEN WHEN YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR LONG ENOUGH YOU CAN'T SEE THROUGH YOURSELF!

the thing tsukasa tells her is that she cares for her brother. He saw through her that easily

but its because tsukasa doesnt know herself that she can find other people like this so easily, i think. daiki doesnt like that answer though, and kind of refuses to face it up to this point

she was only willing to give tsukasa an answer now, after tsukasa tore her to shreds (Emotionally), but was cut off by that thing that was more important

and it was such perfect timing for jun'ichi to reveal he was lucid all along, and the one who believes in daiki and trusts her most now is tsukasa, it felt like a sort of a metaphorical torch pass.... for daikis primary focus to shift

technically every world is a world without tsukasa

I AM CLEARING THIS SHIT WITH FULL POINTS

something something daiki not only taking on niisans traits to make sure he lives on at cost of herself but throwing everything about her past self away in the process- a thief is a criminal, theoretically the opposite of a cop. while its an act of resistance, its also shuttering the doors on her self up until that point, and when she can get to zio, or change her style and appearance to fit who shes chosen to be, then she will truly be free

its so interesting that diend DOES natively have that butterfly motif its just hidden

what did they mean by this

someone pointed out all tsukasas outfits are so warm and soft and shes so often wearing sweaters and jackets and looks snug

also the universal transgender experience of covering up your body w sweaters/jackets. so people don't know you're transgender. because she's

a woman

to that end can i

say

somethi

so every world rejects her, but then she comes to a world that welcomes her and its with open arms, free food, maids, women- essentially, its a world too good to be true. kept as an item and THE status symbol in a world considered evil, wrong, and antithetical to the "normal world"

we will only accept you if you understand you belong nowhere else but here, because you are bad and wrong.

tsukasa is someone with something missing even when being filled up, there will always be something missing - she finishes her journey, she still doesnt have a place to belong, and then is offered a world. youve been given a world. a place to belong. this place is what youve always been searching for

and that world shes offered is. nega world. evil riders run the show, and their lackeys make sure humans cant survive by. actively murdering them. all love and appearances are fake. it is tailored for the ones who stay, that it is a perfect copy of the world tsukasa started in and feels closest to, natsumis, but its different and wrong, everything is fake

just like daikis world

by the way

but even the vague sense of belonging tsukasa gets from this world - photos showing "properly" - is a lie. theyre actually in negative, and even then are still her own pinboke shashin

this implies things about tsukasa, to be honest! but whats even more evident is that she doesnt WANT it to. she doesnt want to be here. she wants to keep going, she tells herself to not fear the journey. this place is too good to be true- this place is bad and wrong- suck it up and keep moving

my thoughts are essentially .... okay, im missing something, but im also not. whatever this implies about tsukasa is no longer true. i mean. well. shes said to be a destroyer, but i think it goes deeper than that. but again, thats not the part that matters. and the show constantly dancing around tsukasas past, and the one who knows hiding it and only being willing to say it after being stripped bare, but doesn't seem especially opposed to tsukasa in general, just because of their "i got here first" dynamic

but daiki is also a freak. i admit that

daiki's a freak it's okay

but you know through fandoms lack of filter and general kamen rider knowledge i think i have a pretty good guess.

which is interesting.

you know.

but also whatever it was, tsukasa has clearly changed, clearly doesnt want to be that anymore, and its still a story worth telling

daiki like. (ME TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO SAY THIS) she genuinely

did not give a fuck about tsukasa until what happened in her world

that flipped a switch she was playing and having fun and flirting up until then because that's just how she is. but when he

believed in her. when she told her she'd help. when she SAW her for who she was

They're fuckinf gay

tsukasa in the past was no different than anyone else that was fucked up to her. Tsukasa was just another means to an end for daiki. until she saw her change with her own eyes

imagine being snagged. like a butterfly im a net. by some shithead you dont actually give a fuck about. and instantly your opinion flips like binary

crazy ass dynamic...

theres something missing frm my tsukasa analysis and im frustrated but its the fact that theres something missing frm tsukasa im not sure how to define

theres a lack of self confidence despite appearances. when she is genuinely praised she gets confused. she does not consider the journey her real home, despite protagonists usually going My journey was the friends we made along the way. and granted it is probably because im not done yet and am only halfway done with what should have been a 50 episode season. but natsumi is still.. against her. in nega world she refuses to trust tsukasas words despite liking her quite a lot, choosing her old friends over tsukasas words instantly and easily. in kabuto world tsukasa asserts her selfhood obviously against the worm, and then the worm argues, and natsumi is visibly unsure

even between tsukasa and her first friend in the world she appeared in theres a fundamental disconnect

granted, tsukasa should have said "there are evil riders trying to kill me", but natsumi immediately shut down "something is wrong" with "Youre JEALOUS! that i found my world again and you didnt!" and thats just. unimaginably cruel

*i love natsumi

tsukasa is bringing people together despite being an outsider, that she helps them bring their story to completion with their belief in her

and even then she's no one's home either. she can't even be her own home because of what's missing

i don't really like the concept of daiki having a home anywhere else either because daiki will forever and always consider her brother her home. she will always consider her home gone. something only in her memories

and yusuke knows his home he's just journeying

and yusukes home is his own world, with yashiros smile helping him go on a journey, yknow, like. Actual Kuuga

daiki's got a fixation on FREEDOM too

she has to be free. she can't be tied down. nowhere is a "home", anymore

which is another reason butterfly imagery auits her

transformation and freedom.

tsukasa is a traveler looking for a place to belong

daiki had a world she treasures dearly but still bandies around

theyre good foils

tsukasa wants belonging and daiki wants freedom but they still like each other so so much

i think something important about them is that tsukasa would never ask her to stay. she'd never ask her to give up her freedom (BITING MY TONGUE ON THAT) tsukasa knows how important that freedom is. daiki's freedom is as important as tsukasa's own Place

but... daiki .. (coughs blood)....... will always come back to her.... (die

DAIKI HAS NO HOME, NOT ANYMORE, BUT SHE'LL ALWAYS FIND HERSELF AT THE PHOTO STUDIO, MAKING BREAKFAST FOR THEM.

the photo studio is "a place to return to", not a home

it doesn't have to be a home, it's just the place they rest when their journey takes a break

i think tsukasa is interesting cuz she asserts shes a destroyer (everyone tells her this, and she thinks she may as well lean into it), she doesn't feel joy the same way, she doesnt trust people, but she's "just trusting what yuusuke does". the thing is. the show is about her finding happiness. and trusting people. and people seeing her and immediately liking her and trusting her, and it's always that trust in her that allows her to help them in turn

shes just.. so dehumanized and feels so wrong next to those people that she feels like her joy is not theirs, that this trust must not be actual trust but "just going along with them" despite not actually being the case

it speaks to how disconnected she is.. literally dissociated from all of her own emotions and they manifest as a front of detached, airy confidence

tsukasa is immediately warm and someone people ARE drawn to in a way no other "smartass" category rider is

people get pulled into tendous orbit but it takes a lot for people to actually like him, sento is actually pretty hard to get to know because of her own identity issues. shes very similar to tsukasa in many ways when i think about it, though tsukasa isnt the same type of smart ass

but tsukasa has a front and a core and kindness to spare. tbh. even if she can be a dick sometimes. who isnt

tsukasa continues trying no matter how much the world tries to bring her down. and it draws people in to be around that

an unmatched, one-of-a-kind aura

tsukasa may feel empty but that emptiness is why she cant give up

Breaking Down Blue Lock: Why This Manga Redefines Sports Stories

When you think of sports manga, the usual themes come to mind: teamwork, friendship, and the underdog rising against all odds. Blue Lock flips the script. Written by Muneyuki Kaneshiro and illustrated by Yusuke Nomura, this manga isn’t here to tell you about working together to win. Instead, it asks a bold question: What if ego is the key to greatness?

From the moment I started reading, I knew Blue Lock was different. It’s intense, thought-provoking, and unapologetically competitive. Here’s why I think it stands out as one of the best sports manga out there.

A High-Stakes Premise That Hooks You In

Blue Lock doesn’t waste time setting up the stakes. After Japan’s national soccer team embarrassingly crashes out of the World Cup, the Japan Football Union decides enough is enough. They recruit Ego Jinpachi, a mysterious and brutally honest coach, to spearhead the Blue Lock project—a radical training program designed to create the world’s best striker.

Here’s the twist: only one of the 300 young forwards in the program will succeed. Everyone else? Banned from ever playing for Japan’s national team. The concept immediately grabbed my attention. It's not just about playing soccer; it’s about survival, ambition, and the relentless pursuit of being the best.

Ego vs. Teamwork: A New Philosophy

One of the things that Blue Lock nails is its exploration of ego. In most sports stories, ego is the villain. It’s the thing that breaks teams apart. But here, Ego Jinpachi preaches the opposite. He believes a striker must have an unwavering ego—someone who seizes opportunities without hesitation and dominates the game.

This was eye-opening for me. It made me question the typical “team-first” mentality we’re used to seeing. Instead of sugarcoating things, Blue Lock emphasizes the importance of individuality in a team setting. The tension between ego and teamwork is constant, and it keeps you on edge as you watch the characters navigate this brutal environment.

Characters You Can’t Help but Root For

The characters are where Blue Lock truly shines. Each one brings something unique to the table, and their personal journeys make the story so compelling.

Yoichi Isagi: The Relatable Underdog

Yoichi Isagi, the protagonist, starts off as your typical high school soccer player who lacks confidence. But as the story progresses, you see him grow into a calculated, strategic player who learns to trust his instincts. Isagi’s development feels natural, and I found myself rooting for him as he faced each challenge head-on.

What I love about Isagi is how he balances ambition with self-doubt. He’s not a prodigy, and he knows it. But his determination to evolve and outsmart his opponents makes him stand out in a room full of egotistical talents.

Ego Jinpachi: The Puppet Master

Then there’s Ego Jinpachi, the man behind the madness. Ego’s no-nonsense approach and cutting remarks are both hilarious and terrifying. He’s the type of coach who doesn’t care about your feelings—he cares about results. His constant psychological challenges push the players (and sometimes the readers) to rethink everything they know about soccer.

Rivals and Allies: A Complex Mix

The supporting cast is equally fascinating. Rin Itoshi, a soccer prodigy with ice in his veins, becomes Isagi’s rival and occasional ally. Then there’s Bachira Meguru, whose playful, almost chaotic style hides a sharp soccer IQ. And we can’t forget Shidou Ryusei, whose wild, unpredictable energy turns every match into a spectacle. Each character is driven by their own ambitions, and the clashes between them make for some of the most intense moments in the manga.

The Art: Visual Storytelling at Its Best

Yusuke Nomura’s art is next-level. The action scenes are fast-paced and fluid, perfectly capturing the intensity of high-stakes soccer. But it’s not just about the gameplay. Nomura knows how to draw you into the psychological battles too. The exaggerated expressions, dramatic lighting, and clever panel layouts make every moment feel larger than life.

I also appreciate how the art evolves with the story. Early on, the matches feel chaotic and overwhelming, much like how Isagi experiences them. But as Isagi grows, the art reflects his increased control and understanding of the game. It’s a subtle touch, but it adds so much depth to the storytelling.

A Psychological Edge

One thing I didn’t expect when I picked up Blue Lock was how much it would dive into the psychology of competition. Ego Jinpachi constantly challenges the players to confront their fears, weaknesses, and desires. The mental battles are just as intense as the physical ones.

For me, this added layer is what makes Blue Lock so addictive. It’s not just about who can score the most goals; it’s about who can handle the pressure, outthink their opponents, and adapt in the face of adversity.

Breaking the Mold of Sports Manga

What sets Blue Lock apart from other sports manga is its willingness to break away from tradition. It’s not about “let’s all work together to win.” It’s about personal growth and ambition, even if it means stepping on a few toes along the way.

This fresh perspective is what makes the series so engaging. It challenges the reader to rethink what it means to be part of a team. Can you be selfish and still help your team succeed? Blue Lock argues that you can—and maybe you should.

Real-Life Parallels

The themes in Blue Lock don’t just apply to soccer. They’re relevant in any competitive field, whether it’s business, art, or even academics. In real life, we’re often told to put the group first. But Blue Lock reminds us that sometimes, focusing on our own goals and strengths is just as important.

It also highlights the pressures faced by real-world athletes. The constant need to prove yourself, the fear of failure, and the mental toll of high-stakes competition—these are struggles that many athletes, and even non-athletes, can relate to.

Why You Should Read Blue Lock

If you’re tired of the same old sports manga formula, Blue Lock is a breath of fresh air. It’s intense, thought-provoking, and packed with action. But more than that, it’s a story about ambition and self-discovery.

Whether you’re a soccer fan or just someone who loves a good story about personal growth, Blue Lock delivers on every front. The high-stakes drama, complex characters, and psychological depth make it a must-read.

Blue Lock is more than just a sports manga. It’s a game-changer, and I’m here for every second of it.

What’s Next for Blue Lock?

As the story progresses, I can’t wait to see where Isagi and the rest of the Blue Lock players end up. Will Isagi achieve his dream of becoming the ultimate striker? How will the rivalries and friendships evolve? One thing’s for sure—Blue Lock isn’t done surprising us yet.

I think that the potential for Keiko and kuwabara friendship is greatly overlooked.... Like. These are two of the only actual HUMANS in the story, the two people aside from his own mom that yusuke is closest to (and honestly he's closer to them than his mom anyway tbh... He loves her, but their relationship is... Complicated) and can look at each other with the shared "there he goes agains, that's our idiot" look bc they both get it. Like yeah. THAT'S THEIR IDIOT. THEY GET IT. THEY BOTH GOTTA DEAL WITH HIS NONSENSE.

Anyway... I think they get closer in the time where yusuke was in the demon world, bc they were some of the only ppl that they could talk to about certain things (others being like... Genkai and yukina. I think all of them get close)

I also think they get into the same college eventually and they study together pretty often. Also they def become workout buddies bc they're both active athletic people (both canonically played school sports) and kuwabara, even while focusing on his "normal" life and academics and stuff, still doesn't wanna slack off on his physical or spiritual training, and Keiko never wants to be caught unprepared again in case she's in danger, so she takes some kind of self defense or martial arts classes (I feel like she would like kickboxing)

Anyway point is they become pretty much besties over time and yusuke comes back and is like "wtf happened. When did my two best friends become best friends with EACH OTHER????" and it's rlly funny cus now they have all these like shared experiences and inside jokes and he's just LOST. feels like he really missed out on something back in Human Town.

This is just random rambling and not even slightly well formatted but YOU GET WHAT I MEAN. LIKE. LET THEM BE BESTIES. AND ALSO LET KEIKO BE A WHOLE PERSON AND NOT *JUST* YUSUKE'S MAYBE/SORTA/NOT/KINDA GF

i think the reason i have a love/hate relationship w foolsuke is its such a fun idea and fool!yusuke is the main hinging point... however, trying to hinge the story around one character when the protag in p5r is a blank slate, and the protag reacting to the nonsense around him means trying to have yusuke be a character with agency where the plot just drags them around is hard... plus the first palace is always where i stumble

Custom Toonami Block Week 128 Rundown

Inuyasha: This is another of those filler episodes that’s just kind of a farce the whole time like it’s just wacky bullshit the whole way through. The premise is actually something that could’ve been a plot for an early episode with a boar demon abducting girls from a local village with mind-controlling golden crowns and the joke is he uses the same pickup lines as Miroku just with added mind control. Since we have 100+ episodes of power creep this guy isn’t a physical threat at all and we get a lot of mileage out of Inuyasha and Miroku accidentally putting the crowns on and becoming submissive waifus for a bit as well as the demon theming himself after Journey to the West but since this is Feudal Japan and like ten people in the whole country can read no one’s ever heard of the obscure Chinese Fairy Tale except Kagome and the demon’s like ‘omg finally someone gets my references’ and abducts her with the crown thing. We also get a bit with Shippo turning into a girl to try and lure him out that doesn’t go anywhere except if you’ve ever wanted to see Shippo as an adult girl I guess. They get Kagome back and use a Chinese sutra to send him back to China despite implying him and Inuyasha were gonna fight and that he might have a Wind Scar equivalent of his own because I guess having Inuyasha disintegrate a comedy relief villain would be a little much.

Yu Yu Hakusho: So while Yusuke’s still trying to wrap his head around why humans would want to destroy humanity, turns out the date for the demon tunnel just got pushed up by two weeks because of timey whimey spiritual nonsense and geometry So the group calls an emergency meeting but Kuwabara’s like ‘yeah I got rock band tickets and no powers anyway so I’mma take the night off’ which practically makes sense but it’s still kind of a dick move when you just found out the end of the world is a week away like at least be there for emotional support. Yusuke storms out of the meeting too because Kuwabara’s not there and Kurama’s off interrogating Koenma about how he suddenly realizes Koenma probably knows who the guy behind this is for no real reason (like he’s right but there’s been no clues for that and he even admits it’s kind of a hunch) and so Genkai’s like ‘don’t worry I’m sure Yusuke’s going to keep an eye on Kuwabara and protect him, he won’t really go goof off and blow off steam while we have six days until they end of the world’ and smash cut to Yusuke goofing off and blowing off steam. Turns out he really should’ve protected Kuwabara because Seaman jumps him outside the concert and every time they say his name it just sounds like they’re mispronouncing semen because of how weirdly they say it. But yeah luckily Seaman has a power that manifests physical water because if it was pure spirit energy Kuwabara wouldn’t be able to see it without his powers and would just be fucked. But yeah Seaman has the ‘I was bullied in school so fuck humanity’ backstory, that old anime chestnut but it’s kinda neat because the psychics do genuinely represent the dark side of humanity and Kuwabara is genuinely giving his best effort to be noble and protect his powerless groupie friends meanwhile Seaman is just being a bigger bully and drowning them in his water monsters. Like I kinda get the feeling Kuwabara’s group were something of bullies before the story and he’s made a lot of effort to not be so aggressive since meeting up with everyone so this is a nice little display.

Fate/Apocrypha: So continuing the final battle, Astolfo gets his two braincells back because the moon’s not making him a dumb bitch anymore or something and for some reason that lets him make a magical shield to deflect Semiramis’s Ancient Egyptian Laser Beams, except it kinda… stops working for some reason partway through and he has to do a divebomb attack so we have a big dramatic moment where he’s sacrificing himself for someone who believed in him… except he doesn’t die from it so what was the point of having the shield stop working at random. Anyway Sieg becomes Super Sieg to fight Karna and Mordred saves Astolfo from Semiramis while Chiron and Achilles have their big fight. And honestly… I love this fight, like I kinda wish they got more to do with their big high octane laser beam attacks but I am a sucker for a good gritty knuckleduster and even after Chiron beats the absolute shit out of Achilles and gives him the NO CAPES treatment with his scarf, Achilles still gets the final blow on him (also this is taking place in Achilles’ ZA WARUDO dimension idk if that’s important or not but it’s cool) and Chiron’s like ‘oh cool, good fair fight and shit but also fuck you your immortality’s gone because of my starlight bullshit, like as far as Fate bullshit goes pulling a constellation laser beam out of your ass just to depower someone else has gotta be up there, like Achilles already took off his immortality to fight him in the za warudo world and Chiron’s just like ‘nah I’mma take it forever and die, bye’ like that’s a fucking dick move I hate shit like that, like after that if I was Achilles I’d be like ‘no, fuck your request god damnit I fought fair so get fucked old horseman’ but Achilles is a noble guy and honors Chiron’s last request and lends Astolfo his power so I guess next time he’s gonna be Super Astolfo III or some shit. Also Atalante is super pissed still about the whole child murder thing and turns into her Berserker form to fight Jeanne which I guess she gets the Super Effective modifier on Ruler Jeanne now but idk if it’s worth the defensive debuff bro, Jeanne’s not outputting a ton of damage as is you’re probably better off trying to chip away at her as an archer.

Speed Grapher: So Saiga has a coma nightmare about taking Kagura’s picture and she explodes, wondering if his eyes are already degrading as he seems only darkness around him until he remembers he’s just in a fucking subway and half dead, so all good there. Meanwhile the real Kagura is trying to break out of her cell while Friend Doctor is analyzing Shady Doctor’s notes about her and they discuss how she really is terminal and she talks about how for the first time in her life she desperately wants to live because someone finally cares about her and it’s kinda heartbreaking. Meanwhile meanwhile the Police Chief still has Ginza in the sex swing thing and is about to cut off her legs but decides to put some lotion with the Euphoric drug on them first to make sure they’re in good condition and Ginza goes a little fucking nuts and fucking snaps his neck with her thighs in a Euphria Factor induced rage which is kinda fucking badass like idk how she gets out of the sex swing on her own but I’mma overlook that because she just fucking snapped a man’s neck with her thighs. She has her sexual assault freakout (been a bad few episodes for those) and fucking burns his house down which is pretty cool. Like I don’t think she’s completely off the hook for assaulting Saiga while he was knocked out but admittedly this is a pretty cool scene. Saiga shows up at Bob’s door half dead again and I kinda feel bad for the guy like his only job is to be Saiga’s only lifeline when he’s half dead. Ginza steals the Chief’s butterfly mask and cloak and attends the Roppongi Club’s grand re-opening and apparently they learned absolutely nothing from the last time some terrorist with a camera crashed the party and destroyed their shit last time because this actually works and she’s let right in, guess as long as you show up in the right place with a butterfly mask they don’t ask questions like don’t they have ID or something like maybe she swiped the Chief’s but you can clearly tell she’s not the short middle aged guy that any membership ID would belong to. Friend Doctor claims he found a part of the journal that can save Kagura’s live but she’s not there to hear it because turns out she’s been abducted by the fucking Prime Minister who turns into a Junji Ito motherfucker with a huge head and mouth like if David Cronenberg made FMA’s Gluttony. The government soldiers storm Suitengu’s tower to make the hostile takeover of the Tennozu group and make the Roppongi Club a government installation but Suitengu’s blood sephiroth and murders all of them and hijacks their helicopter. Saiga tells Bob that there’s too many people caught up in Suitengu’s scheme for him to back down and he has to go save Kagura because regardless of any actual relationship they could have their lives are tied together on this. Meanwhile Suitengu takes his stolen helicopter and just starts fucking blowing up the Prime Minister’s mansion which I guess he can just do. Like I get the feeling you can’t just fly a plane over to your local head of state and start shooting missiles but said head of state is a giant-headed cabbage patch baby from hell so I guess we’re not being wholly realistic here.

I just finished p5r for the 7th time, here we go

Sojiro: Have you guys seen Ryuji and Futaba? They haven't finished their cocoa

Ren: No, haven’t seen them since the storm started

Sojiro: Since the sto- RYUJI NO!

Ryuji, standing in the middle of a thunderstorm with an shovel raised high: STRIKE ME DOWN ZEUS, YOU DON’T HAVE THE BALLS

Ren, completely serious: Sir, it has been reported lately that you do, in fact, have little paw-paws and a little button nose. Do you care to comment?

Morgana:

Ren: Riveting

Sojiro, walking in: Am I interrupting something?

Haru: I would die for you.

Makoto: I would die for you too.

Haru, suddenly very emotional: Please don’t

Futaba, in a high voice, holding Barbie: Hey Ken! I was thinking about going back to school and starting a career!

Ren, in a deep voice, holding Ken: Nonsense, Barbie. you’re staying home and having my kids

Sojiro: What the fuck are you guys doing?

Futaba: Playing systemic oppression

Ren: The next time Goro's angry with me, I'll drape him in a cape and say "now you're super angry"

Ren: Maybe he'll laugh, maybe I’ll die.

Ryuji: Why are you so pissed off all the time?

Akechi: *Polls out a scroll*

Akechi: Reason number one out of two thousand four hundred and—

Ryuji: Okay, okay! I get it, there’s a lot.

Akechi: *Smirks before proceeding to roll the scroll up and put it back in his bag*

Ryuji: You just carry that thing with you everywhere?

Akechi: I get asked a lot.

Akechi: Hey, do you like shrimp?

Sojiro: Not really..?

Akechi: Ramen?

Sojiro: Not much.

Akechi: Then you're not gonna like what I did.

Sojiro: What? You made shrimp ramen?

Akechi: No. I fucked your son.

Ryuji: Just before I die, I'm going to swallow a bag of popcorn kernels to make the cremation much more interesting.

Makoto: Okay, but consider this; What if you didn't.

Kidnapper, about Ryuji: We have your friend.

Akechi: Let me speak with him

Kidnapper: Go ahead you’re on speaker

Akechi: Dumbass.

Ren: Goro and Ryuji had a fight once and it went like this:

Ryuji: Anything that comes out of your mouth is fucking stupid!

Akechi: Ryuji Sakamoto.

Ren: To this day, I still laugh out loud in inappropriate settings because I randomly think about it.

Ren: Hostage or not, sometimes it's nice being held.

Some Shadow:

Shadow: Are you okay?

Sae: WHY IS THE BUILDING ON FIRE?

Yusuke: A dragon sneezed.

Ann: I tried to light a cigar with a flame thrower.

Ryuji: Dropped my latest mix tape.

Sae: Ren, please tell me what happened.

[Flashback to Ren and Futaba arguing that it was impossible to light a fire extinguisher on fire]

Ren: Um.

Ren: I don’t remember.

Maruki: On a scale from 1-10, rate your pain.

Akechi: Pi. A minimal but a never ending number.

Maruki: What in the actual-

Ryuji coming up with a frankly terrible idea: I think we should do this.

Yusuke, who somehow got stuck being the voice of reason: No, Futaba, tell him we can't.

Futaba, who was already running the logistics the moment Ryuji opened his mouth: I think your plan is dumb as bricks, but man, do I wanna see where it goes.

Ren, who just wants to see the world burn: If it fails, we'll just blame Ryuji.

Ryuji: Yusuke's in charge, though.

Futaba: Yusuke, then.

Akechi: Ren and I don't have pet names for each other.

Ryuji: What do bees make?

Akechi: ..Honey?

Ryuji:

Ruiji: Huh, really thought that would work

Akechi: Dumbass.

Ren, from another room: yeah?

Ren: What are Ryuji and Ann arguing about this time?

Morgana: They have a bet going about what Akechi is like in bed. Ann thinks she’s secretly really caring, but Ryuji thinks he’s kinky.

Ren: Yeah, he’s both.

Morgana:

Ryuji:

Ann:

Ren:

Ren: I MEAN-

Makoto: Did you seriously bring a butter knife to the Metaverse?!

Ren: You get angry so fast, it was the only weapon I could find on such short notice!

Yusuke: But you know, you have to admit it is BUTTER than nothing.

Makoto:

Ren:

Yusuke: I'm sorry.

Ren: Is it too much to ask to just have a quiet night in? Slippers, tea, a nice movie?

The shadow he's currently got in a headlock: Oh mooooood.

Makoto: For self defense reasons, I’m gonna pretend to be a burglar and you guys have to act wisely.

Yusuke: Okay

Akechi: Sure.

Makoto: If you want to live, give me all your money!

Yusuke: Bold of you to assume I have money.

Akechi: Bold of you to assume I want to live.

Makoto:

Makoto: Really?

Akechi: The path to inner peace begins with four words.

Akechi: NOT. MY. FUCKING. PROBLEM.

Ryuji: You've all heard of elf on the shelf, now get ready for-

Ryuji, placing a pot on Akechi's head: Thot in a pot

Akechi:

Akechi, getting up from his seat: Get ready for a bitch in a ditch because that's where you're gonna find your fucking body, you little-

Makoto: I need you to swear-

Haru: Fuck!

Makoto: Swear as in promise....

Sojiro: Why the hell are there bullet holes in Leblanc?!

Ren: There was a cockroach.

Sojiro: And...?

Futaba: It started flying towards Akechi.

Akechi: I hate you.

Ren: Well, according to this picture Yusuke painted of us having sex, that is untrue

Futaba, swinging from the chandelier: Makoto!!!! Look at me!!!!

Makoto, following Futaba in case she falls: I'm crying- I'm begging. Please, stop.

Futaba, after winning a fight in a palace: It’s like we just cleared a video game on easy.

Makoto: Real combat is NOT like a video game.

Ryuji, in the background: Hey, coins!

Sojiro, sighing tiredly: Futaba, I promise there are no monsters under your bed okay?

Futaba, scoffing: Not monster- MOBster. There is a mobster under my bed.

*Clicking is heard as gun safety is taken off*

Ryuji, pointing a model gun at Sojiro: Ya didn’t see shit.

Sojiro, exasperatedly: Ryuji you have your own house.

Morgana to Haru: Okay, now observe.

Morgana: EVERYONE, The floor is lava!

Ann: *Helps Makoto and Sumire onto the counter*

Futaba: *Pushes Ryuji off the sofa*

Morgana: As you can see, there are two types of people–

Akechi: *Collaspes onto the floor*

Morgana: ....Three-

Makoto: Sophia found out she could sneakily put post-its on people's backs without them knowing

Makoto: But she doesn't know they should say things like 'kick me', so they all just have smiley faces on them

Murderer: *Chasing Ren around Leblanc*

Ren: ALEXA! PLAY THE SCOOBY DOO THEME SONG!

Ryuji: Dude, why the hell is there blood everywhere!?

Yusuke: Well, you see, it's simple color theory-

Futaba: WHO ATE MY CURRY?

Ryuji: Don’t look at me

Futaba: INARI, WAS IT YOU?

Yusuke: *Looks at Sumire*

Sumire:

Yusuke: It was Sumire..

Sumire: YUSUKE YOU PROMISED YOU WOULDN´T TELL-

Futaba: Oh, it was you, baby? Was it good? Want some more?

Ryuji: This motherf-

Ann: Would you kiss Yusuke for a million yen?

Ryuji: I guess..?

Ryuji: But, I mean, I don’t really have that kind of money..

Ren: Okay guys, meet your new teammate Hifumi. She gave me two dollars this morning for some reason, so I bought a jelly pouch with it.

Makoto, whispering: Why did you give him two dollars?

Hifumi, whispering back: I thought he was homeless

Morgana: You're losing blood. What's your type?

Ryuji, bleeding out: Blue hair, skinny, broke as fuck-

Morgana: Your blood type, Ryuji.

Ryuji: Oh-

Ryuji:

Ryuji: Red?

Ann: Aw, he's so cute.

Ren: Thanks, he's a rescue.

Akechi: Stop calling me that!

Ren: If I was a famous author, I would publish a book with ten different endings, each of which would print with varying degrees of rarity, but not tell the fans about it so that I could watch their confusion as they disagree over how the story ended. Then, when they figure it out, I would ‘come clean’, telling them that there were actually 11 different endings and watch them scramble to find the last ending.

Futaba: Are you Satan?

Ryuji: I’ll pay you $5 to do that right now.

Ryuji: Dude...

Yusuke: You had your tongue in my mouth 5 minutes ago. Don't you dare call me 'dude'.

Makoto: The game is two truths and one lie. Ren, you go first.

Ren: Okay, my hair is black, my eyes are brown, and last week my boyfriend was driving me to Chipotle and he asked if I wanted to see him drift and corner so I said yes and he drifted onto Angel street.

Makoto: Right idea Ren, but you really have to make it more challenging-

Ryuji: His eyes are black.

Makoto:

Makoto: Goro did what?!

Chihiya: May I read your tarot, sir?

Goro: A fortune teller? Very well, then.

Chihiya:

Chihiya: It just says "Yikes".

Sae: Don't be a smartass, Ren.

Ren: Dumbass it is then.

Ann: Would you rather be proposed to in private or in front of family and friends?

Ren: Private. Because when he gets off his knees, I’m getting on mine.

Akechi: *Chokes on his coffee*

Ren: I am a complex person with complex emotions, like “tired” and “food” and even the rarer third emotion, “gun”.

Makoto: I currently have 7 empty notebooks and I have no clue what to put in them. Suggestions?

Ryuji: Put spaghetti in it.

Makoto: I'm currently taking suggestions from literally anyone but you.

Ren: Put spaghetti in it.

Makoto: I'm currently taking suggestions from anyone but you two.

Futaba: Put spaghetti in it.

Makoto: I am no longer taking suggestions.

Ren: *Slowly reaches for a container at a grocery store labeled Forbidden Rice*

Sojiro, smacking his hand: Can’t you read?!

Sojiro: That’s not funny.

Futaba: I thought it was funny.

Sojiro: You don't count. You started laughing in the middle of a funeral because you started thinking of a meme you saw on Tumblr.

Akechi, to the theives: And if you have any suggestions, feel free to put them in the suggestion box.

Ryuji: But— that’s a trash can.

Akechi: It sure is.

Ren: What if the person who named Walkie Talkies named everything?

Futaba: Pregnancy tests are Maybe Babies

Haru: Socks are Feetie Heaties

Ann: Forks are Stabby Grabbies

Yusuke: Defibrillators are heartie starties

Ryuji: Stamps are lickie stickies

Sumire: Nightmares are Dreamy Screamies

Akechi: I hate it here.

Yusuke, at the hospital: I'm here to see my husband.

Receptionist: And your husband is...?

Yusuke: You must be new here.

Ryuji, down the hall on crutches: Yusuke! *Trips*

Yusuke: That would be the love of my life.

Haru: Every single person you know has something in their life and past that is probably worth collapsing to the ground in an uncontrollably sobbing heap over, so be nice to each other and tell good jokes!

Futaba: Sumire is my...

Ren: come on you can do it

Futaba: Sumire is my g...g...

Ren: You're so close.

Futaba: g-

Futaba: gir-.. g-

Futaba: G-GAY FRIEND

Ren, sighing: Close enough.

Yusuke: Oh, he's handsome.

Ryuji: *Blushes and trips over his own feet when they make eye contact*

Yusuke: A gorgeous loser.

Mishima, after meeting Shinya: Seven-year-olds are the meanest people in the world. They terrify me to this day.

Mishima: If I'm on the street on like, a Friday, at 3 PM and I see a group of elementary-schoolers on the side of the street, I will immediately cross to the other side of the street.

Kidnapper: We have him.

Ren: Who?

Kidnapper, about Akechi: We have your boyfriend.

Ren: Oh.

Kidnapper: "Oh"?

Ren: Yeah, you don't have him. He has you. Good luck

Makoto: You know, not every problem can be solved with a gun.

Akechi: That's why I carry two guns.

Ren, seductively taking off his glasses: Wow... You're... really blurry.

Akechi: Thanks.

Akechi: You really don’t get to choose who you love

Akechi, gesturing at Ren: I would know because I’m stuck liking this guy

Haru: What kind of woman doesn't have an axe?

Makoto: What’s something you guys are better than Akechi at?

Futaba: Mario Kart.

Ren: Cooking.

Haru: Emotional vulnerability.

Ren, trying to create a sense of calm by lighting incense, only to find out that the sticks were actually sparklers:

Ren: This is actually painfully on-brand for me.

Futaba: I wonder what butterflies taste like.

Ren: They taste bad.

Futaba: How do you know that?

Ren: I answered your question. That's all you're getting

Ryuji, trying to ask Yusuke out: Do you eat? I do. Want to do it in the same room sometime?

Ann: Elf on the shelf? How about *Pans to Yusuke in the sink* twink in the sink

AU where Yusuke stays with the Sakura family?

OMG STARS MY FRIEND STARS THANK YOU FOR THIS ASK BECAUSE i feel like everyone else just forgot about the time that yusuke just almost ended up moving in with akira BUT I WILL REMEMBER IT FOREVER BC PERSONALLY I SCREAMED CRIED FREW UP OVER IT anyways squishy rant incoming so. (also sorry in advance i kinda got off topic and psychoanalyzed him. sorry)

(also MAIN SCENE I AM REFERENCING HERE i kinda forgor the exact dialogue and had to spend forever looking for it so here's the link for anyone else who also wants to see)

ok so i wanna preface this by saying that sojiro had no way of knowing the exact details of yusuke's personal trauma and situation at the time of the scene i am referecing, and none of his situation is sojiro's fault or responsibility. i say none of this with the intention of blaming.

but man do i wish he had insisted more when yusuke rejected his offer bc. URHGURHUGRUGHUGHHH

i wish sojiro could have seen yusuke in that moment. i wish he could have realized that maybe he isn't as fine as he seems to always insist he is. i wish he looked at him and saw a teenage boy that needs to be taken care of and have a real home just like any other teenager his age.

generally speaking, i think yusuke has this habit of isolating himself from others and having an "i'll be fine, i'll figure it out" attitude when he is, in actuality, extremely lonely and not actually as fine as he says he is at all. and the problem is that everyone else around him kinda shrugs it off as "well, that's yusuke for you" instead of treating it like an actual problem. and this scene is a PRIME EXAMPLE OF THAT (although once again i truly think sojiro didn't really know better at this time)

people look at yusuke who can't even accept someone's time without apologizing for being a burden, yusuke who doesn't have a reliable source of money or the ability to budget responsibly when he can access some (which!!! btw!!!! makes total sense bc once again he is a teenager, and a lot of teenagers cannot do that!!!!!!), yusuke who regularly ends up starving himself, yusuke who's admitted that nobody has ever so much as cared enough to listen to his feelings, yusuke who's lost so much and who's been abandoned and neglected and who's never had a safe place to call home (gonna come back to this) and they go. "oh he's fine that's just yusuke for you!"

and it's like. he is a LITERAL teenager. he has the phantom thieves, and yes, that helps, but he needs someone to specifically be there for him, and while all of the other phantom thieves have at least one (good) parent or guardian or best friend, yusuke doesn't have that at all.

AND SOJIRO HAD THE CHANCE TO FIX THAT ALL WITH ONE SCENE BUT MY HOPES AND DREAMS WERE TORN UP RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES

to be clear, i think yusuke rejecting sojiro's offer was very in-character for him. the reason he cited checks out for him, but i also think there's more going on there. i think... yusuke's never really had much. abandonment and neglect aren't new feelings for him, and anything he's ever had has been ripped away from him. it makes me think he'd have complicated feelings about putting himself in a situation where he'd get too comfortable out of fear that he'd once again just lose it bc that's all he knows. i don't think he really is used to having a space he considers safe, either. i'm reblogging another post that talks about this that i think is really good SO IF YOU TOOK THE TIME TO READ THIS ALSO READ THAT

i understand his hesitance, but i also just wish sojiro had insisted. bc i am NOW GETTING TO THE ACTUAL POINT

i think sojiro could have taken such good care of yusuke and been such a positive influence on him. first of all, just him having access to shelter that actually feels like home and food is something he needs so desperately. this is something that sojiro would definitely be able and willing to provide. and additionally, i think sojiro's somewhat strict no-nonsense attitude could be a really good influence on him with of some of his reckless behaviors that need to be reeled in a bit.

yusuke and futaba are also already basically siblings and their dynamic might just be my favorite in the game. they are SO silly and their autism-to-autism communication is just perfect!!!!!!! they always fight as if they're siblings, and it's in such a way that you can tell that despite their constant arguments, they also love each other very much and they'd both be totally down to beat someone up for the other.

and finally, akira and yusuke is a dynamic that i would have loved to see developed much better, and this would have been the perfect opening for it. bc it feels like... even by the end of yusuke's confidant and by the end of the game, akira never quite gets him. there's a lot of times when speaking to yusuke where i didn't like any of the dialogue options and i've felt like akira is still treating him standoffisjh. i would have liked them to become closer and have less of a "yeah okay whatever you say weird boy" attitude coming from akira when it comes to him. and i think being around him all the time and including him in the family dynamic would have given us this chance

in my heart. sojiro adopted yusuke that day. and it was wonderful. bc i love yusuke to pieces and it's what he deserves. thanks for coming to my ted talk

#squishy talks too much #i really went off here. do you guys think i am normal still #i fucking love yusuke. like. LOVE HIMMMM #people talk to squishy!!#about yusuke <3
