Play with us, Papa Rei! (Buddy Daddies)

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM ALL OF US TO YOU! WE WISH IT WAS OUR BIRTHDAY TO WE CAN PARTY TOO HEY! Ayooooo happy birthday to my dearest and bestest friend on this site, @giggly-squiggily !!!!!!!! Gonna be honest, I had this one saved and unfinished in my drafts and thought "She would love this!" so HERE WE ARE!!!!! Like I said in a message before, I'm super glad to have you as a friend! I truly appreciate you and your friendship, you've even inspired me to post some of my own fics! (Which was not as scary as I thought it would be XD Sorry this is a bit late, but I hope you enjoy it! This one is for you :3 And again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

The days when Miri was home from school were probably the most eventful days Rei’s ever experienced in his life. She was such a wild bundle of energy that he could barely keep up sometimes. Thank god Kazuki was there to help out. Even though he barely acknowledged it or said anything, he genuinely loved and appreciated the help the older man gave. And now was no different. She asked, no, demanded that the two build her a massive pillow fort to her liking. And since they couldn’t say no to her cute face, they got to work. Soon enough, all the couch cushions, pillows, and blankets in the house had been used to make a, quite honestly, impressive pillow fort in their living room. And Miri was so overjoyed.

“Thank you Papa Rei! Thank you Papa Kazuki!” she squealed, diving into the opening. Kazuki momentarily panicked as she jumped in with no caution for the structure of the fort! But, he soon relaxed as he saw their girl laughing happily.

“Papas! You need to come in here!” she claimed, grabbing Kazuki by the wrist and pulling him in, giggling loudly at his grunt of surprise. He chuckled and cuddled close to her, making her laugh even more.

“Thank you for your hospitality, Lady Miri! I was afraid I would go cold and hungry this night, but you have saved me! How can I ever repay you??” The blonde man played up, relishing in his daughter’s squeals. Rei lifted up the blanket entrance and watched them, the slightest smile on his lips. He was proud of this. It wasn’t a shabby job, at least not to him, and Rei knew he was going to be invited in by both Miri and Kazuki. As comfy as the inside looked, it would probably heat up real quick. Not to mention he was wearing a long sleeved shirt. So he dropped the blanket curtain and attempted to make his leave.

“Papa Rei, wait!” Miri cried, poking her head from the fort. Rei sighed. Busted. “You need to play with Papa Kazuki and me in the fort! Pleeeeeeeeease???”

“Yeah, pleeeeeeeeease Papa Rei?~” Kazuki also poked his head from the blanket, smirking and egging the former assassin on. With a quiet groan, Rei obeyed their orders and crawled into the space with cheers from the two invitees.

“So! What are we gonna do now, Miri?” Kazuki asked, a big grin on his face. With a starry-eyed look, she ran out the fort yelling behind her, “Let me get my things!” Rei glared at Kazuki, mentally cursing him out for the fate the younger man just exposed them to. The little girl rushed back with an armful of bright hair clips that immediately made the men cringe.

“Let me do your hair Papas!” she asked loudly. And it was less of an ask and phrased more like ‘I’m going to do your hair whether you like it or not.’ Kazuki, of course, didn’t mind. Rei was against this idea entirely. But, like always, he couldn’t say no. Kazuki was first and mixed in with sitting still for Miri to finish his hair, he also had to keep Rei from escaping constantly. After Miri was done making Kazuki a “pretty lady” (Rei chuckled at that), it was Rei’s turn to have all the attention on him. Miri held up a bunch of sparkly bows that she could put in Rei’s hair. The man sat still for several moments as he took in the sight of the bows… then he raced for the exit.

“Wh- REI GET BACK HERE!!!” Kazuki exclaimed, grabbing the former assassin around the waist and falling to the floor with him. “If I have to put silly bows in my hair, then you do too!”

“Never!” Rei shouted as he reached for the door, so close to the outside! Then, Rei felt a poke to his armpit that made him shoot his arm down with a squeak. He turned to look at Miri, who poured angrily yet adorably at the man.

“Papa Rei!” she fussed. “You promised you would play with us! Good daddies don’t make bad promises!”

Kazuki grinned immediately while Rei furrowed his brows with guilt. She was right. He had promised. But then again, that was when he had gotten home from a long day and was half asleep. It technically didn’t count! But he couldn’t let her down… it’s decided then. He will play with his family! … That doesn’t mean he won’t be hard to get though!

“If you tell Papa Kazuki to let me go…” he looked at Miri with a mischievous half-grin. “I’ll tell you where he hides his chocolate pudding!”

Miri gasped excitedly while Kazuki made sounds of betrayal.

“Rei!!! You can’t just do that to me! And Miri! Don’t even think of switching sides! We’re putting bows in his hair whether he likes it or not!” Kazuki declared as he now wrapped his arms around Rei’s chest to keep him in place.

“But Papa Kazukiiiii! I want chocolate pudding!” Miri whined. Rei struggled in Kazuki’s grip, he was stronger than he remembered, as he kept his grin. The pair knew she would start helping Rei as soon as she could. To get her back on track, Kazuki reached out one hand and quickly scribbled his fingers against her belly. Miri squealed with laughter and backed away, holding her tummy as she giggled.

“This is no time for chocolate pudding, Miri! We have to-” Kazuki paused. An idea formed in his head. Rei acted as if he’d read Kazuki’s mind because they made eye contact and the former assassin shook his head feverishly.

“Kazuki, no!” Rei said in a hushed panic. Kazuki only grinned evilly.

“Kazuki yes!! Miri, help tickle Papa Rei!” Kazuki quickly sat on Rei’s thighs as he forced his arms above his head. Huh, he was faster than Rei remembered too.

“Will I get-?” Miri began before Kazuki shouted, “YES you’ll get chocolate pudding!”

“Weeeeee!” Miri squealed as she ran over. Kazuki already started on scratching over Rei’s ribs, giggling at how Rei immediately squeaked at the touch. The former assassin pursed his lips together and puffed out his cheeks in an effort to keep the laughter in. Miri, who began repeatedly poking his side, laughed at his funny face.

“Hahaha! Papa Rei’s making a pooping face!” Miri exclaimed. Kazuki immediately started laughing at her declaration, as he found it hysterically accurate. And with the combination of Miri’s joke, their combined laughter, and the hands tickling over his ribs and sides, tipped the scales a lot quicker than anyone anticipated. Rei started giggling and quietly laughing with his family.

“Aha!” Kazuki barked as he caught these adorable sounds. “Hear that, Miri? He’s laughing! We’re one step closer to getting him to surrender!”

Miri squealed happily and began to use both her hands to poke Rei’s sides, all the while she chanted the words ‘chocolate pudding’ over and over again. Rei shook his head back and forth with glee, smiling wide and freely as Kazuki turned his hand into a claw and vibrated them in between his ribs.

“Khehehehehehe! Ahahahahahahahaaaa! Sttthhahahahahahahap! Get off mehehehehehehe! M-Mirihihihihihi, quihihihihihihit it! Kahahazukihihi, knock it ohohohohoff!” Rei wheezed with laughter as he addressed the man above him and the girl beside him. He rocked his torso back and forth as the two continued to tickle the former assassin silly.

“Papa Kazuki! Let’s get his tummy!” Miri said. Kazuki gasped with delight as Rei groaned in despair.

“That’s a great idea Miri!” Kazuki said as he shoved Rei’s shirt up to his neck. Rei continued to shake his head no, but his smile didn’t leave his face at all. “Alright, Miri! Should we do raspberries or nibbles?”

Rei’s eyes shot wide open at the question and he tried to sit up and pull his hands away. Miri placed her finger to her chin and pondered, humming in thought. Rei tried hard to yank his wrists from Kazuki’s hand, but that bastard just kept him still using his other hand! Rei growled at him and Kazuki stuck out his tongue.

“Raspberries!” was Miri’s decision.

“Raspberries it is then! You ready, Rei?~” Kazuki cooed at his partner, wiggling his eyebrows at the younger man. Rei attempted to scowl at the blonde, but his wavering smile would not leave his features. Then he jerked and barked out a laugh as Miri blew a raspberry on the former assassin’s side. Miri giggled hysterically at his reaction.

“That’s not funny Miri!” Rei fussed, blushing like no one’s business. Kazuki and Miri began laughing again.

“Of course it is, Rei!” Kazuki exclaimed. He was next to dip his head down to Rei’s smooth belly and blow a torturous raspberry.

“GAHAHAHAHAHA! Ohohokay- ohokay. Thahat’s enough. That’s enoHOHAHAHAHAHAF! NOHOHOHOHOHOHOOO! Ehehehehehehehehehe! C-C’mohohon! Youhu guys!” Rei tried to argue, but he was interrupted by the two taking turns and blowing raspberries until his wheezy laughter turned silent.

After one final raspberry from Kazuki, the blonde man let go of the former assassin and scooped Miri in his lap so they could give him a break. The younger man immediately curled up after being let go and panted, still giggly after the whole ordeal. Miri covered her mouth and giggled with him while Kazuki took in the sights and sounds fondly.

“So,” he started, “you gonna actually play with us now?”

Rei peeked his eye open and looked at the two, noticing how big Miri’s eyes were, hopeful that he’d say yes. Rei just chuckled and pat her head.

“Yeah, I’ll play.”

“YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!” Miri squealed at the top of her lungs. She wiggled out of Kazuki’s grip and jumped onto Rei’s arm, flopping over him and laughing while he grunted. The older man growled in a playful manner and caught the little girl in his arms.

“I’m gonna eat you!” he exclaimed as he nuzzled his face into her ear, lightly nibbling it and making the girl squeal and laugh like no tomorrow. Kazuki leaned his head on his knee and watched on lovingly, thinking that his life couldn’t get better than this. In truth, it could, especially when he saw their reactions to pulling out three cups of chocolate pudding.

Happy Birthday, Rei, he thought.

@nullians is enabling me so here’s a short sloppy drabble of the Karasuno first year quartet finding Kappa Enta from Sarazanmai

(This is straight up copy pasted from my docs so yeah it’s a mess)

Somehow the kappa kids end up separated while in kappa form. Enta is alone, looking for Kazuki and Kuji when he thinks he hears Kazuki. He runs out and bumps into something. When he looks at what he ran into, he’s surprised to see a human staring back at him.

Enta freezes thinking maybe he hadn’t been spotted but the boy that he bumped into keeps watching him. Something must be up because humans shouldn’t be able to see them as kappa?

The boy is tall, even taller now that Enta is barely 2 feet tall, so his figure looming over the poor kappa has Enta scared for his life. The boy crouches down to make eye contact with him and it does ease his fear a little.

The dark-haired boy, with striking blue eyes, continues to stare at him and Enta doesn’t know if maybe he should start running before he gets caught. The boy reaches a hand out and makes pinching motions with his fingers.

“Pspspsps.”

“What do you think I am? A cat?!”

The boy almost falls backwards. “It talks!”

Enta puts his webbed fingers over his beak. He really should have just left the scene but it feels a little too late for that now.

“Where did you come from?” The boy reaches out again, hesitant this time but palm open.

Enta doesn’t answer, pretty sure he shouldn’t be interacting with this human any further.

“There you are! I’ve been looking all over for you!”

The voice is familiar, Enta knows it from anywhere.

“Kazuki!!!” He cries.

The boy turns at the sound and stands up to greet the owner of the voice.

“Well whose fault is it for getting lost, boke.”

“YOU’RE THE ONE THAT GOT LOST!”

The voice turned out not to be Enta’s Kazuki, but a boy with brilliant orange hair, who seemed to be a friend of the first boy.

“Anyway Kageyama, were you talking to somebody?” The orange boy asks and looks behind Kageyama’s shoulder.

Enta realized he should have used the chance to escape but he was distracted by the orange haired boy’s voice sounding so much like Kazuki’s that he almost fell into despair when it turned out not to be his friend coming to rescue him.

“Oh!! Is that a kappa? Wow, they really exist? Tokyo has all sorts of cool things, huh?”

Orange boy also bends down and stares deeply at Enta. He squirms under the boy’s gaze, really wishing for a way out. The taller boy steps up and picks him up.

“You are real, right?”

“How can you ask that when I’m literally right in front of you?” Enta thinks but doesn’t voice.

“Ah, King, maybe you shouldn’t be touching that. You don’t know if it’s diseased or cursed.”

He’s not Enta’s second or third favorite person in the world, but Kuji could probably get him out of this! Tears in his eyes, he turns to the source of the voice.

“Kuji!!!”

A tall blond with glasses is staring down at him.

“Who are these people??? Where are Kazuki and Kuji???” Enta is straight up crying.

“Oi, Tsukishima you made it cry.” Kageyama barks at the blond.

“How is it my fault? I just got here.” The blond boy with Kuji’s voice peers down at Enta. He’s even taller than dark hair boy that is holding him. These kids were huge, what the heck???

“Oi lay off, you’re scaring it.” Kageyama pulls Enta away from Tsukishima.

There is a hand on his head plate and Enta looks up at the boy holding him. His eyes are sharp but his expression is soft. Enta feels his heart thump. What the heck?

“Sorry this jerk scared you. We don’t mean any harm.”

Enta didn’t tell him that he wasn’t scared of anyone here, he was just tired of this situation.

“I think you should let it go Kageyama. I think we are crowding it. Maybe it wants to leave.” Another boy spoke up. Enta didn’t even notice this boy, but he seemed to have arrived with the blond Kuji-voice boy.

Kageyama’s hold on him tightened a little. “What if it needs help?”

Enta looked at the boy in question. Maybe he could take his chances, he’s already this deep into it. “Actually, I’m looking for my friends.”

The four boys all looked at him simultaneously in shock. A chorus of “What?” “It talks!” “Woah!” bombarded him at the same time.

“Your friends?” Kageyama asks.

Enta nods. “Yeah, two more kappa. One with a red scarf and one with a blue scarf.” He gestures to the orange scarf around his neck.

The boys look at each other and then back to him.

“Sorry, we haven’t seen any other kappa around.” Orange boy says.

“We’re also not from around here so we don’t know the area too well either.” The fourth boy with freckles speaks up.

Enta sighs, so much for that. He thinks he’s done for the day when he spots a familiar red and blue out of the corner of his eyes. He blinks again and he sees Kazuki and Kuji hiding behind a store sign staring intently in his direction. They start waving when they see he’s noticed them.

“Oh! I have to go!” Enta wiggles out of Kageyama’s arms. “Good bye!”

He pads off, finally glad to get out of that.

ANYWAY, this entire thing is a seiyuu joke.

1) I wrote this at the height of my NanaSan (quiz bowl anime) obsession, where the main two were voiced by Ishikawa Kaito and Horie Shun, thus crack ship Kageyama/Enta

2) Ayu and Ucchi are obvious

3) Yamaguchi is there because i love the first year quartet

#pixi tries to write #should i tag it? lmao #sarazanmai #kappa trio #karasuno first years #seiyuu jokes

Sarazanmai 10th episode PV thoughts and observations

The second to last episode and episode preview. It’ll be an intense episode, according to the synopsis Kazuki infiltrates the Otter Empire hideout, Reo catches Keppi and the secret Reo, Mabu and Keppi share will be revealed.

This is the final stretch of this Ikuhara wild ride, hopefully we won’t crash and burn too badly.

The PV begins with Kazuki hugging Enta, which would be really sweet if not for the fact that Enta is dead and might be gone for good if the timer runs out before Kazuki is able to save him. This image radiates stress. At least I’m happy Kazuki’s showing that he cares for Enta!

Both of these shots seem to be from the Kappa statue square.

That means there’ll be multiple Reo and Kazuki interactions throughout the episode, because next up they meet at the hideout. Reo’s pointing a gun at Mabu, Kazuki’s holding on to something, I’m not sure what.

Reo’s pretty far gone. I get that he’s hurt and upset with Mabu, but I wonder how they got into this situation, especially with Kazuki and Enta there, standing next to him not that seemingly worried for their safety. I don’t see Keppi and I wonder if he’s in that package Kazuki’s holding on to (captured by Reo). This is the same place where Keppi talked about saving Haruka through a shirikodama transfer in episode 6, but I don’t see these characters be cooperative enough to go through with it.

Reo’s probably taunting Mabu again, and then he gets emotional.

Mabu’s showing some emotion as well! Aaahhh!!

Enta goes flying and Reo’s holding on to four silver plates. His gun says “fire” so it’s in the same mode as when he shot Enta. There’s smoke coming out of it so it’s been used. Did he (try to) shoot Enta again?

Whatever happened Kazuki catches Enta. There’s been another scene change, they’re running around in the hideout.

Both Dark-Keppi (Black-Keppi?) and the otter shows up.

The signs here say “Judgement: Desire”, so unlike with Haruka Mabu(?) will be accepted and won’t return?

I DON’T LIKE WHERE THIS IS GOING

I MEAN I LOVE IT, LOOK AT THAT DELICIOUSLY EVIL SMILE

BUT PLEASE DON’T LET ANYTHING BAD HAPPEN TO MY BELOVED KAZUKI, HE’S BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH ALREADY

Kazuki has a red sheen to him, same as this football. I’m thinking this could be an illusion where he’s playing with it, or maybe he snaps or gets turned somehow and they’re glowing red because of the fire that’ll show up in a sec. They’ve also changed location again, this from the river and Azuma Bridge area.

This performing otter showed up last episode when Reo was having his delusion (at least that’s my interpretation of the scene), so this could indicate another similar situation. The otter could also be joining the fight since it want to protect Dark-Keppi.

Tooi’s upset in the rain. I don’t think we’ll see that much of him in this episode, but I’m assuming he’ll return to Asakusa. I hope that he’ll make it in time...

There’s an explosion on the bridge. I wonder if anyone(/Mabu?) got turned into a zombie since they’re here and the judgement fell on desire? I don’t think it’ll be a typical fight though.

Reo cries some more, Mabu's serving us this look. Is this from before or after the explosion? I have a lot of questions regarding Mabu’s fate.

Reo kicks Kazuki. With each episode he strays further and further away from being the loveable goof he was in Reo to Mabu: Futari wa Sarazanmai. I’m both interested and scared to see how fans are taking this. I still like him. I tend to like villains and my top list of favourite Ikuhara characters is filled with them. It’s not that surprising considering how many Ikuhara characters are villainous...

A good thing to note here is that Kazuki’s still holding on to the last silver plate. RIP Keppi. We don’t see Mabu in any of the shots from this scene and that’s worrisome. Did Reo actually shoot him?

Now Reo’s gun is set on “Blood”. That’s new.

You could interpret it as in he’s out for blood, but why did the setting change from “fire”? Will it gather blood for a transfusion? Does it have something to do with blood connections that get mentioned in the show? As a neat little detail I also want to mention that the kanji for blood 血 looks very similar to the kanji for plate 皿 so this better be good. They must’ve been saving it for the pun/meaning.

Enta’s incredibly close to dying. The red indicates his lifespan and it’s almost run out.

The second set of Kuro Keppi System signs say “Despair: Release”. I’m definitely looking forward to see what that’ll be about.

Looking at the synopsis again, there’s one image of Mabu in the hospital, which I think relates to the reveal of their secret. The rest of the images are from the Azuma Bridge area and I want to mention buff Keppi, because, well, that’s a sight. I wonder if Keppi’s the one to cause the explosion? Maybe that’s him expanding and blowing up? It doesn’t look like it helps much though, I think that might bring in some slight comic relief into the otherwise very dark episode.

MAD OP - Fafner Movie Opening

This fanvid of the fafner heaven and earth movie is pretty great and I haven’t stop replaying it since I discovered it a few days ago and it’s styled like it’s an OP for a fafner heaven and earth anime *series* which kinda makes me wish HAE was at least a cour long instead of just a two-hour long... /cries

Highlights:

Kazuki’s face at 0:07

Kazuki and Kurusu are the main leads

like the main focus is all about Kazuki and Kurusu’s relationship

soushi is treated like Kazuki’s long lost missing sweetheart whom Kazuki just can’t move on from and whose memories keep Kazuki going

...which is totally true now that I think about it

the point is that when I was watching HAE movie, I was expecting Kazuki and Soushi’s relationship progression and that was what I focused on which made me overlook everything else, including Kurusu despite him having plenty screentime and his own unexpected interesting background and subplot.

but like, *soushi*

also WHAT is even Kazuki’s face at 0:07

I watched HAE movie often enough to remember he had no this specific face expression in it.

plenty of kazuki ‘sadfacing and making you want to hug him and comfort him and protect him from everything’ scenes but NOT this specific sad face.

srsly

which sorcery magazine/pamphlet/poster/bonus content is the 0:07 face came from

I need it like I need air

I can’t believe I’ve been sleeping on Kurusu all this time

WHERE IS ALL THE KURUSU/KAZUKI FANWORKS

or at the very least all the Kurusu is the Soushi/Kazuki #1 fan (after Maya, who is the president of the sou/kazu fanclub)

look, kurusu gave soushi a body and healed kazuki’s eyesight so that they both could gaze at the pretty blue sky together.

he also kept soushi’s consciousness safe within him for two years just bcs it seemed *interesting*

kurusu also defied his Mir, his *god*, just to keep kazuki from disappearing

must be bcs kazuki looked at him with the 0:07 face

srsly wtf is the 0:07 face

if you watch Exodus right after the 1st season, you’d never guess kazuki is totally, completely, NOT alright in between, or at least during those two years where soushi’s gone.

but then again he’s always in ‘crossing’ with soushi during those two years, completely unaware it’s all real and NOT only his own hallucination for missing soushi so I guess it’s understandable for him to be a little messed up ;___;

this fanvid is pretty great, esp the editing so pls watch it ;___;

ALSO THE 0:07 FACE

and lastly, don’t watch The Beyond if you want to avoid thirsting for things you won’t have access to for at least three months and also the cliffhanger after the third ep is just dafjdafjdafdagb’ldhfda

kidding. please watch the beyond if you want to suffer more kafjdvfadvfg

#soukyuu no fafner #heaven and earth #kurusu misao #makabe kazuki #fanvid #saving this to tumblr bcs i need my notes

ULTIMATE SHIP MEME!

As requested by @aclockworkschime Here is Shiraishi x Ichika!

Send in two (or more) names and I’ll fill all this out about the ship!

General:

Rate the Ship -

How long will they last? - For life.

How quickly did/will they fall in love? - It would take awhile for Shiraishi to overcome his brainwashing, and learn how to experience emotion. Ichika needed time to see beyond his tactlessness and frustrating persona to to the real Shiraishi... that it canonically took only a few weeks is pretty surprising.

How was their first kiss? - Loving and long overdue.

Wedding:

Who proposed? - Shiraishi, surprisingly.

Who is the best man/men? - Yanagi.

Who is the brides maid(s)? - Sakuragawa and Mukai. A strange circumstance, to be sure.

Who did the most planning? - Both worked together, but Shiraishi set up the location and and worked out a lot of the details with their friends.

Who stressed the most? - It was a pretty laid back affair for both of them.

How fancy was the ceremony? -

Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3 | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big. It was an informal ceremony with mostly just their friends and Kazuki present. It is possible that Enomoto and Sasazuka wore tiaras at some point...

Who was specifically not invited to the wedding? - Most of Ichika’s family.

Sex

Who is on top? - Depends on the day. Shiraishi loves watching Ichika when she’s riding him. He always loves the expressions she makes when she’s most lost in abandon.

Who is the one to instigate things? - Shiraishi, but it is pretty equal. Ichika is a little more aggressive about making her desires known. Shiraishi will seduce her with touching and kisses.

How healthy is their sex life? -

Barely touch themselves let alone each other | 2 | 3 | 4 | Once a couple weeks, nothing overboard | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They are humping each other on the couch right now They have a nice, healthy sex life as much as possible. Ichika works odd hours and so sometimes is too tired or their work schedules can get in the way, but they are both pretty satisfied.

How kinky are they? -

Straight missionary with the lights off | 2 | 3 | 4 | Might try some butt stuff and toys | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Don’t go into the sex dungeon without a horse’s head They are pretty evenly matched. Shiraishi is ever curious and Ichika doesn’t mind trying out things. They’d definitely switch things up a bit. I can’t see Shiraishi’s Ichika as submissive... but they may try out light, playful bondage and blindfolds... (switching who plays what role)

How long do they normally last? - Depends on the night. Shiraishi likes to take his time. He enjoys a certain amount of ceremony. Sometimes Ichika just needs him NOW.

Do they make sure each person gets an equal amount of orgasms? -She has more of them most of the time. He’s watched her closely and learned the things that give her the most pleasure. Shiraishi is seriously turned on by watching her orgasm. If she knew how much, she’d be embarrassed. She also enjoys returning the favor.

How rough are they in bed? -

Softer than a butterfly on the back of a bunny | 2 | 3 | 4 | The bed’s shaking and squeaking every time | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Their dirty talk is so vulgar it’d make Dwayne Johnson blush. Also, the wall’s so weak it could collapse the next time they do it. Again, it varies. Sometimes gentle, sometimes wild. I feel like their foreplay is pretty gentle, but their lovemaking is passionate and intense. Their sex life is a lot of fun and never boring.

How much cuddling/snuggling do they do? -

No touching after sex | 2 | 3 | 4 | A little spooning at night, or on the couch, but not in public | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They snuggle and kiss more often than a teen couple on their fifth date to a pillow factory. They are loving and warm. They hold hands and kiss occasionally in public.

Children:

How many children will they have naturally? - 2.

How many children will they adopt? - Probably none

Who gets stuck with the most diapers? - Probably Ichika.

Who is the stricter parent? - Ichika definitely.

Who stops the kid(s) from doing dangerous stunts after school? - Ichika. Shiraishi doesn’t see a little danger as a bad thing.

Who remembers to pack the lunch(es)? - Ichika.

Who is the more loved parent? - hmm.... probably about equal.

Who is more likely to attend the PTA meetings? Shiraishi at a PTA meeting could be perfectly fine or a catastrophe. He’s developed a distrust of authority. Ichika would probably find it easier to do it herself.

Who cried the most at graduation? - Shiraishi because he never thought he would ever be in such a situation.

Who is more likely to bail the child(ren) out of trouble with the law? - Tricky considering that Ichika IS a cop, but she’d do all she could to protect her kid. Shiraishi has intimate knowledge of being the one in trouble... Both of them believe in the law. If the kids were wrongfully accused, they’d stop at nothing to protect them... If they did something wrong, Both parents would want their kid to own up to it and learn from their mistake.

Cooking:

Who does the most cooking? - Ichika.

Who is the most picky in their food choice? - Shiraishi.

Who does the grocery shopping? - Ichika. But Shiraishi will do it if Ichika has been working too hard.

How often do they bake desserts? - Occasionally.

Are they more of a meat lover or a salad eater? - Probably more meat. Though they’d both probably occasionally enjoy salads.

Who is more likely to surprise the other(s) with an anniversary dinner? - Hmm... Shiraishi would love to surprise Ichika, I think.

Who is more likely to suggest going out? - Shiraishi.

Who is more likely to burn the house down accidently while cooking? - Haha. Shiraishi, definitely.

Chores:

Who cleans the room? - Probably Ichika.

Who is really against chores? - They’re Both okay with chores... Ichika is more proactive.

Who cleans up after the pets? - Shiraishi cleans the litter box.

Who is more likely to sweep everything under the rug? - Shiraishi. But he’s usually pretty good about cleaning.

Who stresses the most when guests are coming over? -Ichika.

Who found a dollar between the couch cushions while cleaning? - Ichika.

Misc:

Who takes the longer showers/baths? - Ichika.

Who takes the dog out for a walk? - I see them with cats more than dogs.

How often do they decorate the room/house for the holidays? - Christmas is special for them. They would definitely decorate for Christmas anyway.

What are their goals for the relationship? - Just to love each other and be happy.

Top 10 Husbando

Thanks for tagging me! @lordbunshin @lemonicebar wanted to know my husbando 😉

I believe everyone here definitely have a crushed on 2D characters but it takes more than pretty face, great body, intelligent and super power to be the best husbando IRL or so called IkeDan*. Like, will they be there when we need their help? Will they make us a porridge when we sick? and stuffs...

*IkeDan = Ikemen Danna (イケメン旦那) = The hotties who possess husband material, recently popular word among Japanese women.

Personally I think it’s not fair for anime’s characters because otoge’s characters originally were created to be an ideal husbando. Plus all anime already finished, no more season 4-5-6 with a wedding or happy family story like otoge did. So i’ll go with 5 husbundo from anime fandom and 5 from otoge fandom.

P.S. Srsly, I had a hard time for choosing just 10 husbando from hundreds husbandos in my list.

Anime Husbando

5. Kuroba Kaito @ Magic Kaito KID

This IQ 400, playful and kind gentleman, full-time high school boy, part-time phantom thief is definitely a hero for both boys and girls in fandom. Well, he was born from Gosho Aoyama who wrote Detecive Conan after all, this character surely has a charmingly deep and various dimensions.

Kaito might be too young to be considered as husbando but with all of his good traits, he’d definitely grow up to be the best one. Besides, I love a sweet & thrill in love life 😉

4. Kinomoto Tōya @ Cardcaptor Sakura

Touya-niichan is my first love in anime fandom since I was a kid and still have been in my heart until now. Thanks to Clear Card Arc, I have a chance to see him in college version and more striking handsome due to advanced CG technology in anime industry.

He is cool, kind, athletic and very popular with the girls even he is a bit loner who has only Yukito as a BFF. He did many jobs so that he can pay for college on his own, despite his father is a college professor who could easily pay for his tuition, very impressive responsibility as a mere high school boy.

He is also good at cooking and helps with house work, yeah husband material. Even he’s always tease his little sister Sakura but that nothing to do with me ;p Well, his caring for family is the best clue for being a potential future husband and father.

3. Karasuma Tadaomi @ Assassination Classroom (VA Sugita Tomokazu 😍)

Who wouldn’t fall for this super cool badass fighter? He’s an elite agent sent from Japan's Ministry of Defense to supervise Koro-sensei.

Karasuma is a strict but kind man, though he keeps a distance between himself and the students due to his status as an agent and his own professionalism. He is also extremely dense when it comes to love, but isn't so oblivious that he doesn't figure it out eventually. Even though he comes off as distant, he's not completely devoid of emotion and seems to be able to express happiness very rarely; most notably, during violent situations.

Judging from how he taught his students as the physical education teacher in Class 3-E, he must be a strict dad who raise his kids to be a strong fighter both physically and mentally. He is a perfect husbando for waifu who need someone to keep her on her toes. His love life is hilarious and interesting bc his waifu is a b*tch. Well, if you watch this anime you’d know what i mean 😉 Hush hush... I bet he is definitely a wild beast on bed, fu fu 😉

P.S. Let me clear this, I’m not that b*tch but I still need him bc it’s thrill for having such a cool & elite agent as a husbando.

2. Yanagi Kazuma @ Kaze no Stigma (VA Ono Daisuke 😍)

Due to his family circumstance and ex-lover’s tragedy, he has become too powerful and overprotective in an effort to be able to protect those important to him and not to lose them again. Even Kazuma shows his arrogance and egotistic side most of the time, he'll protect people who are naturally weak and have no chance of becoming stronger.

He is a snarky sarcastic and anti-social, rarely interacts with others unless business is involved. But he’s very caring and protect his beloved Ayano and his little brother Ren. He can do house chores and cooking. When he fell in love he’ll be unbelievably sweet and gentle yet still be a big tease making Ayano (and me) doki doki occasionally; e.g. licking a splashed wine on her cheek saying it’s a waste if he don’t drink it, kissing her hair when he confess to her. When he kissed her neck and said “You better get ready because I’m selfish and have a strong desire” I was melted ☺️☺️☺️

P.S. When I finished watching this anime and found out season 2 never come bc the writer had died since 2009 I cried like my own relative died 😭😭

1. Usui Takumi @ Kaichou wa Maid-sama (VA Okamoto Nobuhiko 😍)

You couldn’t count yourself an 2D otaku in Shoujou-Otome line if you don’t know him, he is a LEGENDARY HUSBANDO for Shoujou manga and anime.

He is everything as an ideal husbando for me, looks, brain and talent at everything. Playful but not wishy-washy. Flirt but not creepy. Devoted but not possessed. Helped but not spoiled. These traits also very like Masamune Ikesen too. Despite having dark past about their own families, Usui didn’t strong and friendly as Masamune, well, he’s just a normal high school boy after all 😉

But in manga, he eventually grown up to be a great doctor and also an amazing husbando who let his waifu living apart for a sake of her dream job.... such a board-mind and patient husbando 😊

Otoge Husbando

5. Kirishima Kaoru @ Our 2 Bedrooms Story by Voltage

This aloof, cool, talent editor is MC coworker who emit an aura of “leave me alone” but actually kind & gentle and very cuddle when you’re in relationship like Ieyasu but he’s a straightforward type and isn’t sarcastic or snarky at all.

His stories weren’t exciting or twist like the others but very real and relax.. his coolly cuteness and kindness somehow made me calm, like laying in a corridor under warm sunshine after the battles with all tough guys 😆

Now it’s Wedding Season already and I’m the most lucky bride in the world😊

4. Soryu Oh @ Kissed by the Baddest Bidders by Voltage

Head of Hong Kong’s Mafia who scared everyone away with his scary & cold vibe but love omrice 😆 Hate women bc they’re reek of perfume and only chase after the rich. Anyway he is a gentleman and the only bidder who treat MC as a human being and protected her from any harms.

When you captivated his heart, he’d turned to be a doting BF who protect you with his life. Even he’s a man with a few word but his expression for love is so deep and intense. On bed? also a sexy beast 😆😆 A special story “Happy Family with Him” also show how wonderful he was as a father.

Now we’ve married and live a happily in NY season 5th already 😊

3. Okochi Minato @ Our 2 Bedrooms Story by Voltage

An ace senior editor of a big shot publisher who is arrogant, big tease and tsundere but his sexy & sweet side made me melt. He is such an sharp-tongue alfa-dog who always mocked MC as a Pomeranian but bickering with him is so much fun. Even he is a super self-confident but he secretly worked out bc he wanted to impress MC with his well toned body when they xxx ☺️ yeah... he’s a bit... horny sexy beast ☺️😆

Even he’s hopeless around the house to the point he could literally explode the kitchen but he tried hard to cook for his beloved fiancée by joining cooking lessons. He always be there to help MC for both work and personal life and also let MC helped him occasionally.

Now it’s Wedding Season 💒 already and I’m so happy with him 😊

2. Oda Nobunaga @ Ikemen Sengoku by Cybrid (VA Sugita Tomokazu 😍)

The tyrant Demon King and a dutiful BF who has an unbearable cute side I couldn’t resist. He called emergency war room to consult how to improve his GF’s mood after 3 days Silence Treat 😆 He was jealous of his own bear avatar 😊 He love Kompeito and secretly(?) steal it from his own kitchen every night😆, etc. So damn sexy and alluring, got me every event, couldn’t keep calm around him. I’ve a bunch of arrogant, intelligent, rich and powerful husbando but no one is as charming as him... srsly.

He’s sweet and kind...when he want to be 😆 An open-mind husbando who is enthusiasm to learn new things. Also such a dutiful dad who’d read a bedtime stories for his kids every night 😊

1. Date Masamune @ Ikemen Sengoku by Cybrid (VA Katou Kazuki 😍)

Since I played his routes both Dramatic and Romantic in row on last X’mas, I fell hard for this playful dragon and he has been my no.1 since then. Who could refuse he possess a super husband material? Here, here here and here.

CHARACTER MEME !

FULL NAME minagawa kazuki

GENDER, SEXUALITY male . bisexual

ETHNICITY, SPECIES japanese . vampire.

BIRTHPLACE, BIRTHDATE itoshima, fukuoka prefecture . 18th april, 1990

GUILTY PLEASURES j-pop! he likes to pretend he’s this edgy goth boy who listens to obscure nagoya / visual kei bands, but you know he’s up at 5am dancing in his kitchen to old ass ai otsuka songs. that aside, he’s also a ho for maladaptive daydreaming and likes nothing better than retreating to an intricate, internal fantasy world in order to make sense of / avoid any conflicts / problems that he faces!

PHOBIAS cynophobia, he got badly injured after annoying a doggo when he was a toddler and he’s been afraid of them ever since (they also bork at him because he’s a weird creature and it spooks him)! he’s also incredibly afraid of conflict and will not hesitate to start tearing up if you raise your voice at him. and it’s not a phobia per se but he’s been afraid of the virgin mary since childhood.

WHAT THEY WOULD BE INFAMOUS FOR honestly he’s already pretty infamous on host forums for how obscenely easy it was to get him to do makuraei or trick him into paying off your tab. that aside, probably some stupid shit he did with the ghost infesting his attic.

WHAT WOULD / HAVE THEY GOTTEN ARRESTED FOR while he’s never been arrested for any of it, he worked in the mizushobai from the age of 19, so before he was of the legal smoking / drinking age. he’s got some pretty questionable involvement with some pretty shady people thanks to his job. may or may not have killed someone when he first became a vampire (he can’t quite remember). he’s also smoked the devil’s lettuce which is arguably the worst offence of all.

CHARACTER YOU SHIP THEM WITH asking me this is a form of tsuicide baiting.

CHARACTER MOST LIKELY TO MURDER THEM is natural selection a character? his inability to adapt to life as a vampire and consequent frailty is the most likely candidate tbh.

FAVORITE BOOK GENRE he doesn’t tend to read for leisure unless it’s like... fashion / make-up columns in magazines tbh?

LEAST FAVORITE BOOK CLICHÉ i think, as someone who’s extremely empathetic and cries incredibly easily, he hates the whole tragedy = development. not that he disagrees with the idea that misery or trauma can shape a person, but he’s a really weepy bitch and he finds it hard to get through that sort of stuff. he’s lying if he tells you he’s read the hunger games.

TALENTS OR POWERS his talents include make-up, memorising cool facts about crabs, getting incredibly emotionally invested and losing sleep over other peoples problems. he’s got that pretty boy vampire allure going for him, and like... all the standard vamp stuff like immortality, heightened senses! although he’s kinda lacking in that whole being impervious to wounds thing — he bruises like a peach!

WHY SOMEONE MIGHT LOVE THEM he’s a very pretty boy. and i guess he can be very charming and funny, and he’s nothing if not a shameless flirt, like inkeeping with his job he’s someone who’s very easy to feel drawn towards. then i guess, like at first glance, it’s hidden beneath that feigned confidence and come-hither persona, but he’s a deeply empathetic person and it gives him this very nurturing personality and not that he’s a fucking furry, but he’s kinda like a puppy? in that he’s very excitable and trusting, tends to give people pretty doting attention, like all he really knows is how to give unconditional love and how to get excited over absolutely nothing.

WHY SOMEONE MIGHT HATE THEM so many valid reasons. for supernatural creatures in particular he’s an aneurysm waiting to happen because he fundamentally refuses to accept what he is and won’t really... engage with any attempts to help him be a better vampire? his job is pretty disreputable, though for the most part he personally doesn’t fit the stereotype, being a host carries all those connotations of being manipulative / sleazy / involved with the mob. he can be very hard to pin down. he’s wearing a mask most of the time, very good at telling people what they want to hear and presenting the sides of himself he thinks will make people feel best, but he’s not as socially adept as he comes across? he’s very shy and the closer you get to him, the more he seems to slip into that, so i guess he can be frustrating either because he comes across as fake or because he’s one of those people who you feel you’re great pals with but then realize you actually know very little about? his fear of conflict makes him do a lot to avoid it, either he can come across as very people-pleasing and obsequious or like... a complete crybaby tbh.

HOW THEY CHANGE he... does the usual, y’know? becomes all supernatural and eerily pretty, falls head over heels in love with a dumbass, and then... deteriorates a lot!! like to begin with it’s kinda cute how bad he is at being a whole other species, but then the more he finds out about becoming a vampire, the more juxtaposed with his nature and difficult for him to handle it becomes? he’s someone who forms attachments very readily and intensely, and can’t really deal with having to keep mortals at an arms length, can’t bring himself to drink blood regularly much less kill someone for it, and that naturally brings with it a lot of problems... like he’s not got half the !!! he used to, he grows a lot more weepy and sensitive, physically he gets more and more tired and sickly. but it’s all kinda like a learning curve for him? like because of his upbringing he’s always felt the compulsion to put other peoples needs above his own and he’s... very slowly beginning to realise that maybe the best way to take care of people is to start looking after himself. having had a very conservative upbringing as well there’s a lot that he’s coming to terms with in the vein of his gender / sexuality as well but i’ve already rambled for about 8 years here.

WHY YOU LOVE THEM a bold move to assume i love my OC...

You already knew which ones so my hotie king and my cutie pie 😂😂😂😂

YAY my first ask!! Okay so since you didn’t say it’s puzzleshipping I am going to do JUST headcanons of them as a person. Starting with my fav boy, Yami!

Yami Headcanons:

-Yami loves horses and is really good with them! Like seriously he loves horses!!

-He goes by Atemu or Yami, you can call him whatever. However he really honestly doesn’t like being called Pharaoh after his name is found. Which brings me to my next headcanon.

-He doesn’t feel like a Pharaoh anymore. Living in the present day, with his friends and Aibou. He is used to the normalness of it. Yeah he has a few bad guys now and than and sometimes will have his Pharaohness come out. Like try and persuade someone to do something for him. But honestly he just wants to be normal, get a job, go to uni maybe?

-My fav one is that he had multiple personalities! When he is out in public, he is very formal! He’s kind, holds his posture perfectly, he holds doors open for ladies. He is just a very well mannered young man. With his friends(the gang!!) he is a little more laid back, unless they are in public settings where he can be formal. But he laughs his belly laugh, lossens up a little, and will crack a joke or two. Now when he is home/around Yugi, he is like totally a different person. He acts like a teenage boy for sure! Rough houses, chases Yugi around the house, he pokes him, makes paper airplanes and throws them when Yugi is doing his homework. Reads comics, plays on the computer, and he loves watching TV, cooking shows criminal shows are his favorite.

-Yami LOVES to cook! Sometimes when Yugi is doing homework, he will turn the TV for Yami. Poor Pharaoh doesn’t like being in the puzzle, so he tends to just sit on the bed, which brought Yugi to get a small tv for his room, so he could actually get something out of staring into nothing. Because of that, he fell in love with cooking shows and eventually asked Yugi if he could try something. He happily let him and was shocked that he learned to cook just from watching TV!

-Last one for our Yami! He loves naps! Honestly can’t tell ya why, I just think he likes a good nap once in a while. It’s a good excuse to pause the world around you and he loves that. He’s been through so much, just escape from it all would be a nice thing to do and naps are the way he does it.

Yugi Headcanons:

-Yugi is a snorer! Yes yes yes!! I said it!! I believe Yugi snores and he can snore pretty loud sometimes! Yami has actually had to wake Yugi up thinking he was like sick or needed help or something.

-He has diabetes!! It’s supposedly canon but Kazuki has never confirmed or denied....he does that a lot!! So of course I say he is! Which again brings Yami into a panic when Yugi is having issues with his blood pressure. “It’s too low Yugi, get a candy bar Yugi, Yugi you need to rest.” He is so annoyed by the big brother attitude but he knows he’s right. So yeah based off some theories off the internet and investigating...I believe Yugi is type 1 diabetic and hypoglycemic.

-Yugi is a chicken shit! He spooks too easily and a lot of it has to do with bullies as he grew up. You can NOT sneak up on Yugi....he will scream and he may hit!

-I like to believe Yugi is very romantic. His love language for sure is physical touch, because of all the hits he took growing up, he loves a gentle touch and he loves to touch. It’s just how he works.

-Yugi has daddy issues, we all know it!! Like come on his dad travels the world and never stopped to really pay attention to his son. His son is the freaking King of Games, you can’t send a letter or call and say “Hey son congrats!” Nope, that’s where I put my foot down! Good bye daddio!

-On top of that, Yugi is a mama’s boy. Though he has his moments like any teenager, he is totally a mama’s boy and loves his mom with all his heart. To go along with his love language, his mom also is a physical touch type of person and they hug each other every day! No matter what! Yugi and his mom have to hug! It’s become there thing.

-BONUS!!! After Yugi’s dad left at the age of 6, he had a weird attack, that led to realize he was diabetic. His mom cried at the hospital, thinking he was dying. When Yugi finally was awake and he saw his mom crying he told her that he promised her he would never leave her, just like daddy left. He said he would always take his medicine and never leave. She hugged him and he hugged her, which is where the daily hugs started. It was his way of reminding her that he was still there. A year later Yugi’s grandpa gave him a puzzle(yep THE puzzle!) exactly a year after he got diagnosed.

It’s my story and I am sticking with it! Anymore???? :D I most likely have more and can’t remember them this late at night O.O

Sarazanmai episode 5 thoughts

The episode begins with the happy memories of when Haruka was born. Kazuki became an older brother and he swore to protect Haruka. Immediately after that there’s a scene that takes place a few years later where Kazuki’s dying grandfather badmouths Kazuki’s mother. Kazuki then realises that he has another mother who he got taken away from.

I know there were lots of theories about this and although I thought they seemed plausible at first, the last few episodes and the guidebook made me disregard them so now I’m feeling just a tiny bit salty. I also wonder if those theories were as spread and discussed as they were because of spoilers.

I think the characters look similar enough to be seen as related, but then again Kazuki being adopted fits his story and explains his motivations extremely well. I could only make good guesses before, but now I finally know why he’s the way he is and it feels nice.

Tooi doesn’t understand Kazuki either, how he can be so calm after finding out about his secret. He understands Kazuki even less when Kazuki tells him he’s almost envious of him.

Then it’s time for Tooi to knock out Sara’s manager and he does so WITH A CUCUMBER. Then it’s time for him to go after Sara as well, who’s sitting around in a dressing room looking at pictures of cucumbers. She’s completely enthralled by the cucumber Tooi is holding, just like an animal. You could get her to go anywhere with it, which is pretty much what happens next. However, whenever Tooi locks her in somewhere she manages to sneak out in her kappa form. I still don’t get how both she and her kappa form can appear on TV and in photos at the same time, but she’s definitely a kappa like lifeform. The scenes with her are super fun. I really enjoy Sara and can’t wait to see even more of her!

Kazuki takes Sara’s place and texts Haruka. He confirms the phrases they’re supposed to exchange; “from the beginning to the end” and ”we’re connected in a circle”. This sounds like something from The Little Prince, but I’m not sure if it’s actually from there or not. It’s been like 10 years since I read the book and I also read it in French which is like my 4th language. The phrase also matches with Mabu’s catchphrase and how the boys connect through Sarazanmai. Then there’s also the A etc.

Enta’s with Haruka and Kazuki’s parents. Haruka watches Sara TV and sees that today’s lucky item is a sachet, a small scented bag. Enta’s kinda awkward in an adorable way when he asks the rest about Kazuki’s whereabouts. He’s worried Kazuki’s secret will be revealed.

This week Kawausoiya comes early. Some guy is making sachets using Japanese giant salamander secretions. The salamanders are super cute, but what’s going on is pretty gross.

Then it’s time for Kazuki to deceive everyone at the fan meeting. This is extremely nerve wrecking for me, but surprisingly enough he succeeds.

When Haruka shakes Sara-Kazuki’s hands Kazuki is reminded of their past. Once Kazuki found out about not being related to his family, he took some distance to them. He stopped wearing matching clothes with them and discovered soccer instead. However Haruka told him that no matter what he wears or what he does, from the beginning to the end they’re connected in a circle. That moved Kazuki then and it moves him now, but before he can do anything else Sara’s manager appears and calls him a fake. Haruka doesn’t believe the manager, but then the real Sara also appears. Since Sara can’t reply to Haruka’s part of the phrase, he doesn’t believe her to be the real one, but then the manager snatches Kazuki’s wig and it’s all over for him.

I’ve been covering my entire face with both of my hands for this entire scene, it’s making me so anxious and I feel bad for Kazuki now that his secret is out. There’s no time for more of a showdown here. Haruka’s been holding on to a sachet that flies away, the kappa zombie appeared and Kazuki runs away to Keppi’s place. Both Tooi and Enta follow him. They argue for a bit and then Keppi turns all of them into kappa.

Just like Reo and Mabu said last week, the zombie seems to be stronger. Even though he boys’ attacks aren’t as strong, they succeed in grabbing the zombie shirikodama and connecting through Sarazanmai. It’s Kazuki’s secret that’s getting leaked again. He has actually met his birth mother, who he could recognize by her familiar smell. It’s the same smell that was coming out of Haruka’s sachet. Why did Haruka have it? Then the leak is disrupted and Kazuki’s the one to lose his shirikodama. They’ve failed to defeat the zombie.

Keppi’s mad. There is no plate of hope and the boys can’t return to their human forms either. Kazuki says he doesn’t mind staying as a kappa and then he reveals the rest of his secret.

Although Kazuki met his birth mother, he wanted to stay with his family, together with his precious little brother. When he was about to go meet his mother for the last time Haruka followed him. Kazuki tried to make him go away, but Haruka didn’t listen, got run over by a car and lost his legs.

Kappa-Kazuki cries and reveals that everything he’s done so far, quitting soccer, stealing Nyantaro, deceiving Haruka etc. hasn’t been for Haruka’s sake, but to protect himself.

The after credits scene gives us the promised new ReoMabu scene and aaaaaaahhh it’s amazing!!!!! Painful, but oh so promising!!

Next episode should mark the halfway point of Sarazanmai. I think it’ll conclude Kazuki’s storyline somewhat and I believe that the second half of the anime will focus more on Reo and Mabu. I also wonder if there’s something bigger going on with Haruka, besides him knowing about Kazuki not being his blood related brother?

2017.02.14 Messiah: Akatsuki [Review]

Yesterday I spent valentine’s day watching a stage series that I completely fell into last summer! While I was super pissed and skeptical of this installment of the stage - due to favourite characters (Amane, Misu, Shuuto’s) and actors NOT coming back (Takaki, Nakamura, Shuuto, Hirose Daisuke, Naoya) this installment, and also some announcing that the next installment after this one would be their last (Amane/Takaki, Misu/Nakamura) - I went in with an open mind and was ready to accept whatever they were gunna send at me. And I did. Lets see how that went shall we?

Official Site Here Official Twitter Here Dress Rehearsal Video Here Press Coverage 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

CAST/CHARACTERS

Akazawa Tomoru as Shirasaki Mamoru Izawa Yuki as Ariga Ryou Sugie Taishi as Kagami Itsuki Nagae Ryouki as Miike Mayo Yamaoki Yuki as Yugi Kotarou Hashimoto Shinichi as Kugure Jun Asato Yuya as Doctor Ten Otsuka Kosuke as Doctor Three Ito Kotaro as Amane Gwen Shougo Yamada James Takeshi as Salut Araki Kentaro as Kumoi Ren / Cheka Kotani Yoshikazu kuroko / Momose Tatara Nakahara Yuya as Ichijima Harumi Osumi Kenya as Shikura Kazuhito

Ensemble: Hosokawa Akihiro, Kitamura Kai, Uraie Kenji, Hisada Yuki, Sugiura Yuichi, Ishigami Ryuya, Sakamoto Kazuki

STORY

Kaito Yuri has gone missing and it seems like he might have not only betrayed Sakura but also Mamoru. But Mamoru stays strong that Kaito isn't a bretrayer and that he's still alive, though many believe he's dead after 6 months with no contact from him have passed. Mamoru is sent on a solo Gradutaion (Sotsugyou) Mission to stop the AI hacker known as 'Necromancer' who had broken into Sakura's security system and caused havock. With the occassional help from Doctor Ten, Doctor Three, and the three new Sakura recruits, Mamoru embarks on his mission, alone.

NON-SPOILER:

Maybe it's because this was my first time seeing Messiah live the flesh but I felt there was a massive step up in production and everything in this stage! The most impressive thing was the choreography for the action. Holy moly, the stunts and the timing was amazing! Also I really enjoyed the projection mapping this time around and how they used it. As usual the music was amazing and also super nostalgic and hearing the bell when the stage began! I cried at the ending to this but for a different meaning than everyone else. I really, really enjoyed this which I didn't expect to and I am definitely looking forward to the next installment. The negatives I have is this story has two plots and one of the plots I absolutely loved and the other plot I absolutely hated and don't want to remember. The second negative is; I really don't like the three new recruits. They're like carbon copies of Messiah character's we've already met and they're boring and I don't really want to get to know them, which is unfortunate because the actors themselves are adorable!

Rating: I don't think I've rated the Messiah series at all up to now... but I'll put it at a safe 8/10 for now.

SPOILERS!

You’ve been warned; all the spoilers ahead!

Strangely enough the spoilers are going to start with my giving a more detailed story plot, which will be ‘colour coded’ due to sections of the story that I personally want to remove from my memory in italics because I hated those parts of the plot. Sound good? Okay!

Kaito Yuri has gone missing and after 6 months have passed everyone believes he's dead while Mamoru stays strong and believes he's alive and that he didn't betray Sakura. Mamoru is sent on a solo Gradutaion (Sotsugyou) Mission to stop the AI hacker known as 'Necromancer' who had broken into Sakura's security system and caused havock such as making satelites fall from the space and hijacking a plane and almost crashing it and in the end it locks onto the nuclear bombs across the world and threatens to set them all off. The rest of the Sakura crew (along with two sciencetists; Doctor Three and Docter Ten, and three new Sakura recruits; Yuge, Kugure and Miike, help Mamoru break into where Necromancer's main source is, but it turns out many people have been implanted with a chip meaning Necromancer can control and use their bodies, even after the person has been killed, which the AI does on several occassions and literally has an army of the undead under it's control. Not only that but turns out the creator of Necromancer is Kumoi Ren; Kagami's supposed-to-be-dead uncle, who long ago had implanted a chip even into Kagami's brain, and Kagami ends up being the HOST and being controlled by Necromancer, thus follows his uncle and leaves Ariga. So now Ariga is desperately trying to save Kagami and trying to find a way to bring him back in control of his body and brain without having to kill him (because we all know he has a streak of killing his Messiahs -__-). SO it turns out Kaito was working with them to help create the AI 'Necromancer' and it ended in them killing him because he protested to officially joining them, and they took and used his brain to fuse with the Necromancer AI software to create the ultimate AI. Meaning Kaito is well and truly dead much to Mamoru's ruined heart and feelings. However, Mamoru learns that because the AI is meshed with Kaito's brain, the AI actually understands emotions, and purposely chose Sakura as the security system to hack, and has a weak spot which is wanting to still protect Mamoru. Mamoru manages to gain control of the Kaito part of Necromancer and it decides to leave Kagami's body and the mission is completed without any nuclear bombs or anything going off. The final scene (as with all Messiah Graduations) is of Mamoru on his solo mission out of Sakura and in his spy uniform when he's surrounded by Necromancer controlled enemies but when one has his gun pointed squarely at Mamoru (who happens to have Kaito’s hairstyle and similar face structure to Hirose), Mamoru says 'let's go Kaito' and again the Kaito part of Necromance takes over that guys body and joins Mamoru's side to fight the rest of the gang. End.

Yeah I ain't even spoiled 80% of the whole story yet! Course I left some things out or else you wouldn't be surprised when you see the stage for yourself.

As you can see, I'm super not happy about the Kaito plot line and I'd like to erase that whole part from the plot. This story work perfectly swell with it just being about a super AI that has taken over Kagami’s body. << also this boy needs more character development so why not let him be the main story?! It really pissed me off how they've dealt Hirose Daisuke's exit from the series. Even just making a silly fucking short VTR of showing him dying would’ve been more satisfactory than a random line he speaks over a computer and better than just a projection mapping of his Sakura profile and at the bottom saying: Dead. and I’m also pissed at Hirose about going to the keikos and seeing the performance AND there’s clearly newly recorded recorded Yuri voice soundbytes for this stage too(!); so he obviously HAD THE TIME to do the fucking stage. Ugh, especially right at the end with the pretty much Hirose student double who LIP SYNCS Kaito’s lines at the end, oh my god I am so pissed about that! lets move on.

---

Now let's get to some specifics in the play that I enjoyed!

I freaking cried! As soon as that bell rang to signal the start of the play an we get Mamoru kicking ass and almost being kicked and it being action packed right from the start? I was like "YES!! THIS IS MESSIAH!!!"

I have such respect in this stage for Tomorun in this. His applause compared to everyone else was so much louder. While the applause at the end was solid anyway (it's the first time I've experienced applause not quieten a little between the bows and the actors getting in position) the sound got like 1000 times louder when Tomorun was stood on his own to bow, and he damn well deserves it! He had a LOT of weight to carry and he had a lot to hold up to in this stage and it really shows through and he was flawless and amazing in his role. He spends 70% of this stage crying his eyes out and/or being beaten to shit. I actually feel sorry for Tomorun for how much pressure he had this time around. We all know who to blame... anyway... One part I really love of Tomorun’s performance is (it’s really small but) when he gets captured and one of the bad guys kicks his leg and Shirasaki falls down on one knee and just the timing and the way he does it is SO good! And I was SUPER lucky the second show! I had a seat for row 13 which is THE row between the two sections which means there's a big enough gap for the actor to go running right past you and even fight in front of you, WHICH Tomorun did at least twice! Each time he stopped EXACTLY in front of me or what fighting RIGHT in front of me and so the wind caused by his punched were right in my face and his coat hits my legs a few times and I was just like 'oooooommmmmmmgggggggggoooooooddd' internally and everytime he exited away it always went quiet but I'm pretty sure people near me always heard me to exhale very deeply as I tried to calm down from the heart racing closeness I was to the action and Tomorun.... holy moly...

Ariga this time... I have a hate relationship with this guy because of what happened with Mamiya but (un)fortunately Izawa Yuki is such a freaking saint. He's so adorable and so nice and he's such an interesting person and this time around Ariga's character was given more room to group and kind of move away slightly from the Mamiya stigma, especially now that Kagami has fully accepted him as his Messiah. And also thanks to Izawa the higawari and improve scenes and lines are gold. He's so funny! So my opinion of Ariga has changed this stage but lets say that's more from Izawa and Kagami's influence rather than Ariga himself. But there's SUCH a good moment at the end when Ariga puts his gun against Shirasaki's chest and says 'See you again' and (I didn't notice the first time so I FREAKED the fuck out and cried hard the second time!) Shirasaki removes his gun and puts it against Ariga's and says 'definitely' SO THEY CHANGED GUNS!! THEY PROMISED TO MEET AGAIN!!! OMG I'M DEAD!! *dead*

Anyway, I'm glad Ariga's still, in this stage, talking about and facing up and admitting what he did to Mamiya and he still mentions how he regrets it and everything and there's a scene towards the end where I was convinced 'Oh fuck it's Mamiya all over again!' --okay I seriously have to talk about this scene but can we go back a few more steps?

I need to talk about the Ariga x Kagami relationship before I can talk about that scene.

I am so fucking onboard with this ship now! Holy shit this stage gave me ALL the (what're we calling them?) Karimi? Arimi? KaGa? Basically I am so in love with them as a pair! Holy moly! There's so many juicy scenes with them! Literally after the first mission for Necromancer fails they go on, Ariga and Kagami are talking and Kagami is like 'I'm really glad you accepted me as your Messiah... Mamoru still believes Kaito is alive... and you? ... Do you think Mamiya is alive?' *me with ALL the feels* 'omowanai....kono te de Mamiya wo koroshita. Soshite... ore no Messiah ha Kagami da. // no... I killed him with my own hands. Besides that... you're my Messiah. (I have to put this in the Japanese cos I loved his reply!)' and then the scene Kagami is like 'can you stop that? ... I'm your Messiah... stop calling me Kagami....' 'Then what should I call you?' 'Itsuki'

And we enter the two higawaris from the day where Ariga attempts to call Kagami by his first name:

14:00 Performance

Ariga: 'I....i....iiiii' Sugie: 'Ariga are you okay?' 'I.....iiiiiiiii......iiiii' 'You don't have to force yourself!' 'Iiiiiiiiii!!!!! Renshuu shimasu! / I'll go and practise!' *storms off*

19:00 Performance *Prior to this higawari Sugie actually fucked up his 'I'm your Messiah...' line

Ariga: 'Nnnnnntsuki' Sugie: 'What?' 'Nnnnn...nnnntsuki!' 'Don't push yourself. Lets go slow okay?' 'Okay' 'I' 'I' 'Tsu' 'Tsu' 'Ki' 'Ki' 'Okay! All together' 'NNNNNTSUKI! Renshuu shimasu! / I'll go and practise!' 'Yeah you should,' 'also...don't mess up' / kamu na As Izawa walks off , Sugie yells 'Sumimasen! / I'm sorry' and the whole audience were laughing.

Okay lets get to MORE Ariga x Kagami moments. During their first mission to infiltrate Necromancer they obviously get surrounded and beaten to shit by the bad guys and the choreography is so GOOD. Ariga gets attacked and one of the kicks sends him flying into Mamoru who catchs him in his arms! And THEN Kagami get's attacked and flies into Ariga who catches him and then the guy goes to attack Kagami again and cos Ariga is holding him he turn him around so HE takes the blow instead of Kagami and Kagami is like 'Ariga!!' trying to keep and hold him up!!! Oh my the feels!!!!

Now lets get to the horrible moment... so Ariga finally finds Necromancer infested Kagami and Necromancer is like 'if you shot me hear *points to his head* you'll kill me. But you'll also kill Kagami,' and so the scene unfolds and I ALREADY was convinced someone was going to die this stage(!) before I even knew what the plot was to this stage so I'm watching scene unfold and everyone in the room was already crying and sniffling cos of Mamoru and Kaito's scene just before this one but THIS is where I grab my mouth in shock and I'm like 'oh shit... oh shit it's Mamiya all over again. Oh my god please don't kill Kagami' and I'm sat there and the tears start POURING out and I'm starting to make the most noise cos people haven't already gotten most of their crying out with Mamoru! and then wait for it.... Ariga SHOOTS his gun! BUT it goes PAST Kagami and so Necromancer turns and faces Ariga properly and he's like 'you missed! Right here *points to the center of his forehead' and Ariga SHOOTS again but hits Kagami's shoulder and then shoots another 4 times, three go flying past Kagami as he slowly moves forward towards Ariga and the other hits Kagami's leg, but because he's being controlled by Necromancer, he still keeps moving and ignores the pain and such. And then he TAKES Ariga's gun and SHOOTS him in the stomach and Ariga collaspes and I was FREAKING the fuck out. And of course (because it was so. obviously. set-up.) Ariga yells at him to try and bring Kagami's concious back, 'Kagami.... Kagami! ... KAGAMI!..... ITSUKI!!!!!!' and (I start crying even harder because he's finally called him Itsuki and) for a second Kagami comes back and stops the gun from shooting and killing Ariga. Oh my, I'm dead writing it now!!

The finally amazing shipping moment between these two is after Necromance leaves Kagami's body, Kagami falls unconcious to the floor and Ariga drags himself over to Kagami's side of the stage and sits with one leg under his butt and his other leg is kneeling and he rests Kagami's head on his thigh (almost at his crotch) of his kneed up leg (I hope this names sense) and has his hand on Kagami's shoulder. During this Mamoru is center stage doing the climax of the plot and everything and -- EVERYONE in the room is crying their eyes out at Mamoru and in the first performance I was crying from relief that Kagami didn't die and in second performance I was crying by how beautiful this scene unfolds -- eventually towards the end we see Kagami wake up from conciousness; he stays where he is but he opens his eyes half way and sees Ariga above him and slowly takes his right hand to grab Ariga's shoulder and Ariga sees him and SO STRONGELY grabbed onto Kagami's hand and holds it SO tightly and Kagami smiles and falls back into conciousness as Ariga smiles at him and -- oh my god I'm crying as I freaking right this!! I am so on board with this effing ship now! Oh my god...

Okay I need to go and calm down...

Now to solely talk about Kagami: I freaking LOVE that half of this plot ws HIS story line! I've been dying for MORE Kagaminess because I still think he's very new and underdeveloped, also he's currently my favourite Messiah in the series since Mamiya. BUT to say he was a MAJOR plot in this Sugie defo had LESS stage time than he should've been given. I feel he and James got about the same amount. Just after the higawari with Ariga, Sugie is missing from the stage (but constantly spoken about) for a good 30/40minutes which I think is super weird (and lets blame the writers forcing Kaito into the story again shall we?) so I'm annoyed because Sugie/Kagami really does deserve MORE time on stage. Now that Mamoru has graduated it means Izawa and Sugie's last stage should be next which I fucking hope it isn't because of how UNDER developed both of them I feel still are. They've just got another 2 or 3 installments of development left and needed in my opinion. Especially when Matsuda/Ono did EIGHT stages and movies in Messiah before they graduated, and Kagami's only done 3 installments so far and in such small roles(!). So yeah, Sugie deserved more time on stage as Kagami, especially because he does become a major story plot. Also I freaking LOVE how we got his uncle as the bad guy this time! And seeing the HATE Kagami has for his uncle is wonderful! AND Sugie did these two super cool stunts! One is when two of the guys hold his arms and he does this backwards spin thanks to the momentum and then kicks the crap out of them! Another is the ending credits where a bad guy flips him over before he shoots him and it looked SO freaking cool (and a little dangerous) in the first show but unfortunately they messed up in the second performance but during the curtain call Sugie explained how they have a safe execution if he can't land it properly even though it'll look weird, which it did but good to know they have a back up plan and a safe way to finish it if it doesn't go perfectly ^_^ ALSO a main reason why Kagami is a favourite character of mine (besides his bratty attitude and lollypop eating) is his fighting style. It MUST be something back Sugie because I am in love with both his Kagami and Namazuou (from Touken Ranbu Stage) fighting choreography. He fights so cockily in both roles if I really think about it xD OHHH! Another scene which was SO gun is when he first finds Kumoi and he eventually beats him down and ends up straddling above Kumoi and has a gun to Kumoi's face and Araki's hands (both times) were pretty much AGAINST Sugie's crotch because Sugie sat that far up him! I enjoyed it (a bit too much) even if they're supposed to be uncle and nephew xD

Now lets get to the problem children; the three new Messiah recruits.

I don't like them... I don't like them IF they're going to be the new MAIN Messiahs. If they stay as SIDE characters then I'm happy with them. They aren't bad characters but they're no where near MAIN character material. When the 2nd gen Messiahs came in, they were instantly developed and very well introduced, unlike these three; they're bland and too boring to become mains. I will give them a little room to grow but just... ugh. No I don't want these three to be 3rd Messiah Mains!

Nagae.... Nagae... I don't like you. I liked you for about 5 seconds in HetaMyu but like... your attitude in both roles is just so bad! Also I really don't like your chin! He was alright during the aftertalk but just... I don't like you and your character, Miike, in Messiah is an insensitive cunt << I've been dying to call him this outloud for a good 24 hours. They have a meeting at Sakura and he's just like 'wonder if you'll just kill your Messiah again. It's easy for you to do right' to Ariga! And I (did?) HATE Ariga but that's going fucking too far. Insensitive, inconsiderate little shit. Kagami is a little shit but at least he's a playful one who actually has a freaking heart and cares about those that matter. Miike on the other hand can seriously go jump off a fucking cliff. And you can TELL they've started setting things up for the three new characters because there's a point after he's killed the bad guys and only he is left on stage with a dead body and he's like 'your face looks relax... was living that hard? ... same as me then' and it's like 'oh bitch please! You're a fucking child, fuck off' I really didn't appreciate this sob story for someone who's as motherfucking rude as him. And breathe...

Next is Yugi... he's... alright. He's sweet and wants to help Sakura and he's strong and he's sensitive and he super nice to everyone but his personality is very weak and very... normal? and .... he's just not got the face to be a MAIN cast. Sorry guy!! But your face is very 'side character' looking. I hate myself for being so judgey about his looks but, overall I don't think he (meaning the character) is main Messiah character material at all. And again they obviously set it up at the end where he yells at Miike 'I'll take anyone as my messiah, so long as it isn't you' ugh...

And the last problem child is Kugure who is a carbon copy of Hamao's character. He's got the glasses, he acts all stoic, he plays by the book and does his job as a Messiah. He only has two tiny parts that make him a little bit different to Hamao's character. The first is a higawari with Izawa so technically it's not even his character!

14:00 Performance:

Kugure: 'I read your file' Ariga: 'What did you see?' 'Ariga Ryou's favourite food is... purin' 'Yes I love it... and?' 'The thing your particuar about... is how you eat it' 'Well... how do you eat it?' 'I just put it in my mouth' '...lets go....'

19:00 Performance:

Kugure: 'I read your file' Ariga: 'What did you see?' 'Ariga Ryou's favourite food is... purin' 'Yes I love it... and?' 'The thing your particuar about... is how you eat it. 'Of course I am! Kugure, do you know the Purin dance?' *audience cracks up, Shinchan was clearly not expecting this answer and just doesn't reply* '.........what?' 'Try and do it' '.....okay' *Shinchan slowly moves into position to dance* 'lets go!' and Izawa walks off as Shinchan is still half amused and half embarrassed.

In the aftertalk Shinchan talks about how usually he and Izawa have set higawaris that they'll do but tonight Izawa just made one up on the spot and it really shocked him, and Sugie was like 'yep that's Izawa. He's very unpredictable' xD And at the end of this stage, Kugure goes to Ichijima's office and says 'I have something I want to talk to you about' and Ichijima removes his glasses and says 'follow me' to which Kugure slightly touches his glasses before following him and thinking about it now, Ichijima and Kugure's actors DO look very similar AND they both have glasses. Are they setting them up to be father and son?! That's the feeling I got! ALSO I didn't realise until the end of the second performance who Shinchan was!! Towards the end, I suddenly shot up in my seat and was like 'SHIT that's the guy I like from Owari no Seraph!!! ... Why did I think it was Hashimoto Shohei who did Owari.... OMG IT'S HIM!!!!! Oh he can sing nice....' so yeah I'm a slow dumbass xD

So you can see how they've started to set them up being the next gen and I'm not happy. The actors themselves are sweet and really nice (more in the aftertalk) but... no thank you!

Is it just me or does Asato have a lisp?! It definitely sounded like he had/has one and I found it so cute!!! I expected his role as Doctor Ten to be pretty small in this but as he ends up betraying Sakura and works with Hopporengo, I'm sure he'll be a bigger role in the future. Because I didn't know the first performance he was an undercover spy for the terrorists, I didn't notice the subtle hints BUT the second time around you can SEE what he gets up. You see he purposely gave Mamoru certain information and we see him mess with the computer system JUST before it gets seriously hacked and we see him whispering stuff to Kumoi when Sakura have him captured and stuff. So kudos to the writers and director for the subtleness of showing the audience through multiple viewings what his true nature is.

Doctor Three had a much smaller role than I thought he would especially when Asato is partnered with him but Asato naturally got more stage time. I’m still not really sure about his character but I did enjoy his personality and I really liked his performance during the hacking scene.

Now we get to a character I have an issue with, only because of his name. His name is Amane... AMANE! I’m sorry but we already HAVE an Amane in Messiah so unless it turns out they’re related then why the hell do we have ANOTHER Amane! It’s just rubbing salt into the wounds because Amane is not in this installment and will be leaving the series! Okay, now for the character and actor himself, Amane was a very, very small role so he didn’t really leave an impression, but his uniform is nice and I assume he’s connected to the group of officers Shuuto’s character was apart of but without rewatching it or reading his bio, I can’t be sure if they’re the same unit (because the uniforms are different yet have the same boss). As for Ito himself, he’s so sweet and funny! During the Evening Performance’s curtain call, Nagae was like ‘please look forward to the AfterTalk because this guy at the back (of the stage) is very interesting’ and Nagae did not lie! More on that later. Main point is though: he acts SO cute and I was shocked to learn (after when I looked at the pamphlet) how old he is and everything! He’s totally adorable and needs to be protected like a son. Then I later learnt he’s gunna be the red haired character in Daiya no A stage and he looks amazing in that role! Almost tempted to go...

James... James.... James, James, James... I’ve been following you on twitter for a good year and know how great you are of a person but this day I FINALLY saw you act in the flesh for the first time and it’s the first time I’ve seen you act in something since 7 Days which I saw over a year ago!! And I was not disappointed. Firstly that hairstyle is freaking gorgeous and looks so good on you. Secondly, you fighting with a knife and in those slightly tight, white pants? Hell yes! ALSO (as I knew) you’re playing a terrorist in this? Hell yes!! I was so happy with James in this!!! I am so ready for him to be our next main Terrorist villain ones the Cats are sorted (in the movie I assume). Also I was super surprised when he first started talking because A. I didn’t realise nor remember his voice being as high as it actually is and B. he sounds SO MUCH like Fujita Rei! (<< who also has done Messiah btw ;) ) so yeah I was little surprised at first but his voice IS nice too ^_^ Also also also also!!!!! We got a James vs Izawa fight which obviously made all the fangirls happy! It was short but satisfying!! I also love how his character betrayed his ‘contractor’ at the end and also how brutal and ruthless his character is. ALSO the fact that he throws his gun away a lot in favour of the thrill and risk of fighting JUST with a knife or two is amazing too! His such a good character! OMG!!! His fight with Kuroko too was amazing!! But I’ll talk about that more with Kotani! So yes... thank you James and cannot wait to see you in the movie (even if it is a prequel to this stage like I assume).

I love Araki okay. I’ve loved him since he did TouMyu and played Yoshitsune(ko)! And his character in this is completely different. He is a cold ass, mean uncle in this! But I was so hyped when we learn he’s Kagami’s uncle and how manipulative he’s been and how much he did nothing but train and manipulate Kagami! Also the fact that he even had him getting captured by Sakurai and Kagami joining Sakurai pre-planned and everything was genius! I really enjoyed his final scene too! << mainly thanks to James’ character’s cruelty xD

And now it's time to talk about the wonderful star of the comedy relief show; Kuroko aka Kotani!!!! He was fucking hilarious! So many funny moments I want to talk about! The first is when Mamoru is trying to look at Kaito's profile so see if he could get any hints as to what his last mission was and such and Kuroko comes bouncing in and lightens the mood and then asks the computer 'When will the perfect boy walk into my life?' '...No data could be found' xD 'Oh what?! I wanted valentine chocolate....' and soon after this he gets all happy about something, pulls out a slipper from under his coat and begins to sing but Shirasaki soon stops him. Another amazing moment is when he and Salut are having a knife fight and Salut cuts Kuroko ONCE and Kuroko goes MURDEROUS and unstopable. He turns into an absolute ANIMALS when he's fighting and thus that's why he's been kept more as a housekeeper than as a spy at Sakura Church. That and also because we learn he in fact (like Ariga) killed his own Messiah. But turns out his Messiah was an undercover spy for (a similar group to) Hopporengo. During the end credit, his hits Ichijima on the bum with his brush xD he's such a cheeky but funny guy who goes batshit crazy in the battlefield! Oh my!! Another batshit crazy is when Sakura infultrate the boat that Kagami and Kumoi and Salut are on and he and Shirasaki come BUSTING in and (jesus chrsit I can't believe it happened, I pissed myself the entire time) Kuroko storms onto the boat with TWO machine guns and laughing like a crazy man and spinning around as he spot all the bad guys. It was such an epic but hilarious scene!! There's another great scene where Ichijima is talking about past graduated Messiahs and as he mentioned Haku's name, Kuroko pulls a Nanny milk carton out of his pocket and tries to give it to Ichijima xD Anytime he hit someone on the head with the slipper, it always such a good sound that you couldn't help laugh xD Kuroko EASILY shot to pretty much the top of my 'Fav Messiah Characters Ever' in this stage. He's absolutely gold; both when he's doing comedy AND being a badass!

Lastly I'm going to put Ichijima and Shikura's actors together here; these two have been actors for a long time; they're pros, they're damn good at their job, they're very well known and this wasn't they first Messiah; they were flawless and performed as they should of. The most interesting parts about the actors were how they behaved in the curtain call. Usually older Japanese actors have this scary and serious aura about them BUT in the first curtain call Nagae was trying to be all cute like 'I'm bad at curtain calls. I'm only 18 tehe' and then Osumi straight away was like 'Oooooh I can't give speech. I'm only 18 tehe' and totally ridiculed Nagae and he got so embarrassed and Osumi got a HUGE applause from the audience and then as soon as it died down we could see Nakahara on the other side of the stage acting all childish and only the audience saw and when the members turned around to him he acted normal again xD They were real sports! xD At first I was upset Ichijima was back rather than Naoya's character (and I still haven't figured out Ichijimia and Naoya's chara's relationship and status balance) but after seeing the stage, Ichijima is actually a MAJOR part of the plot so it made sense for him to be back. ALSO everytime Ichijima gets serious about fighting and clicks his leg back into place and fights is always badass and epic to watch! He did not disappoint this time either! ^_^

Curtain Calls

I've pretty much already spoke about the two major points of the two curtain calls I saw so lets just go to the aftertalk; about Nagae being teased for trying to act cute and when Ito got pointed out as a very interesting person. Oh but there was another point; because Sugie failed his stunt during the end credits, he explained about the backup safety plan he and the student guy has in case it doesn't go well, and mentioned how difficult the amount of action is for everyone, but that Tomorun never complains about it but then Izawa is like 'yeah but he complains to me when no one else is around' xD

19:00 AfterTalk: Sugie, Nagae, Ito, Shinchan (guest starring Izawa and James)

The AfterTalk was an absolutely shambles but it was a hilarious and uncontrollably laughing shambles. All four of the boys are absolutely hopeless! Basically none of them could talk properly and Ito at one point (already mentioned) was asked about what he likes about this stage and he’s stands up and goes ‘look at this uniform’ *points to his sleeves* ‘they’re reversed! I didn’t realise until I put it on for our first day! Isn’t it cool. Also look how cool this front is where it extends!’ and everyone was just like ‘....’ >.<

And there was another point where he wanted to talk about a scene or character he liked and he’s like ‘you know when that happens and you know like it goes like that and’ and everyone looked at him like ‘what the fuck are you going on about?’ ‘you get me right?’ ‘.....’ to which Nagae suddenly yelled to the audience 'you see what I mean by he’s interesting!' xD We were all dying. About 10 or 15 minutes into the non-stop random talking, Nagae looks at Sugie and goes 'don't you have a sheet of paper right there with topics for us to talk about?' and Sugie looks at him and went 'what's the point! None of this is interesting compared to the mess of a conversation we're having!' and threw the paper on the floor, killing the audience once again. Nagae went and picked it up for him, 'well if you don't wanna do those topics then why don't we get questions from the audience then?' the audience got super excited but (as predicted) they started going off on another random conversation between themselves. And then Sugie looks back and is like 'Izawa... why you taking pics of us from there?' and he replied 'you continue. I'll take pics!' and one of the guys was like 'you might as well come out here if you're gunna talk!' and he's like 'nah I'm good!' and then another of them went 'Oh look! It's Ariga and the guy that looks like him' xD to make the audience laugh EVEN more, Nagae commented: 'you know (the scene) when they're fighting? It's like a video where it's the same player (but in different clothes)' xD

The next topic was about what characters or side (Messiah / Police / Terrorist) they'd like to be on and it ended up (thanks to Ito, see above) becoming a 'what clothing do you like' topic and Sugie complained at how he's just all in black and it's boring and he'd like something like James' outfit with a little splash of white clothing. He complimented James' white pants and you just heard this 'thanks!!' from behind the curtain XD Sugie also spoke about when they all first got the script, his name just said ‘Sugie Taishi = Kagami Itsuki / N’ and then when they did the first read through THEN they realised N meant Necromancer and that at first he found it challenging to play N (because you basically how to act like a robot).

EDIT 2017.02.21: Another thing that was mentioned was suddenly Sugie started talking about ‘we didn’t know if this was going to be the last or not. And we didn’t know what was going to happen next’ which means there was a CHANCE Messiah wasn’t going to continue after THIS one or even get this one! But now that they’ve announced a new stage in Autumn and we’ve still got the movie to look forward to. Looks like they might be continuing it after all, especially when (starting with this play) it’s been labelled the New Messiah Series; so clearly they intend to continue the series under this new name.

By the way, Izawa really DID get takes from behind the curtain during the aftertalk:

You're welcome ;)

Extras

I think you're probably going to know all these already but lets have a quick run down of the non-actor things:

- The choreography is absolutely amazing! I've already said this but I really do feel like everything, including the choreography was stepped up massively this time! So many cool stunts and spins and swings and everything! - I really really really really want and need a Messiah OTS seriously. I freaking love all the music!! Even in the new stage!! Seriously, I just want a CD of all the Messiah music they use EVERY stage including the bell at the beginning of EVERY stage! <3 - Linking to the choreography; the stunt men* were phenomenal! - I really liked the staging and the stage design this time. Even with the scary SLOPE right at the front of the stage. But I loved the computer screen-like props they had at the top of the stage. - The projection mapping was used very well! It definitely didn't feel distracting (hell sometimes I hadn't even realise it'd been pulled down because of how well they co-ordinated everything) - The lighting was great too!

*I realise I've called them stunt me the entire review and that I should really call them ensemble but do you realise how long this review has taken me? I ain't going back and correcting it all. You all know who I mean anyway! xD

---

Okay I'll stop here! Pretty sure I've spent like 4 hours making this review! I'm done! Hope you enjoyed it!
