Thoughts on: Twilight Faction

So... this is going to be interesting.

When it comes to the Twilight faction, it's the one story arc I remember the least compared to the other factions. Oji's story was the one I distinctly remember whereas everyone else I barely remembered them. At best, all I could recall were bits and pieces of Toichiro's and Shizuki's story. Now that I've replayed it, I can honestly say that the Twilight faction is all over the place in terms of storytelling. I still liked the faction well enough but when compared to the Dawn and even Night faction, it has it's weak moments that hindered my enjoyment a bit.

The common route for the Twilight faction was unique in its own way and probably my 2nd favorite plotline, the first being from the Night faction. It was refreshing to interact with new characters and see things from a different perspective. Like the Dawn faction, all the characters were introduced in a way that fleshed them out enough to get somewhat of a better understanding of them. And of course, this route introduced me to my favorite man, Oji.

Like with my previous Thoughts On review of the Dawn faction, here are my full thoughts for each character. They do have major spoilers so keep that in mind: Toichiro Shizuki Kuro Oji Gaku

Normally I would have a difficult time trying to decide which character I liked based on their development throughout their route as well as how good the story was. In this case, there was really only one character that ticked off those boxes. So, without further ado, that character would be...

*drum roll*

Toichiro

Shocker I know considering my all time favorite is Oji but I think Toichiro's story was the best one. Mainly because I thought it had an equal balance of storytelling and character development. Toichiro stood out to me the most not because he's the poster boy of the faction, but because he had some of, if not, the best story beats and character development. His story ended somewhat anticlimactically when it came to his ninth tail but overall, his storyline was the best.

As for my second favorite, it would have to be Gaku. I mainly liked it for the character growth Gaku went through. He's shown to be determined, albeit, somewhat self-sacrificing his own wants and needs in favor of breaking the curse Yura is under and I appreciated the familial devotion each brother had for one another. His story could've been a bit better since it's just a 'what if' scenario of Yura's story.

As for the others, this is where things get complicated. The storyline for Shizuki, Kuro, and Oji were the weakest out of the group. More so Kuro and Oji because of plot reasons I can't really get into without spoiling their stories but they definitely could've been better. Also I got to be honest, I just don't see Kuro as the dating type of guy and Futaba annoyed me to no end in Oji's route. Shizuki had a bit going for him but I still didn't really get that much insight on who he really is deep down. He benefits the most from reading the event stories he's in.

So yeah, overall, Twilight faction was a mixed bag. Toichiro and Gaku stand out as the best amongst them while the others paled in comparison. A shame, really since I can see the potential in them.

⚜ FIRST MEETING [AYAKASHI - TWILIGHT FACTION] ⚜

┌── ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ ••✎•• ──────────

characters: toichiro yuri | shizuki | kuro | oji | gaku summary: the details of your first meeting with your future mate. warnings: referenced death, hunting rating: sfw a/n: i will admit that unlike the rest which were randomized, i very much on purpose chose a tanuki for toichiro's mate. i have plans for those two, some devious plans.

~🎕

└── ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ ••✎•• ──────────

≿━━━━༺❀ toichiro yuri ❀༻━━━━≾

✿ you were the only child of a famous art-dealer and a tanuki. you were rather known around town for being a bit... dimwitted, though that was very much on purpose on your part. it's easier to make others look foolish when they think you are.

✿ you were 25, though you often pretended to be younger or older to simply fool people. toichiro was 23 and had been presiding in the capital for a few months.

✿ you'd been messing with a rather unpleasant man that you'd seen harassing a girl that was most certainly underage, when toichiro spotted you and possibly recognized you. you didn't much look like your father, but the charm on your belt that bore the art-dealerships symbol probably gave it away. so, he came over and... joined you in messing with the poor man.

✿ after that first time, toichiro would "accidentally" stumble upon you tricking people around time and generally making a fool of the public. you genuinely had no idea how he kept doing it, but you welcomed him dearly every time. soon, there was no one else you'd rather let in on the big secret that was yourself.

✿ toichiro found you magnifying in a way no one else was. he'd heard about the son of the man he did business with, a foolish young boy no one actually knew much about. but the moment he saw you, he knew that you were the exact opposite of all of that, and he didn't know how he knew. toichiro was fun. usually only people you could trick were "fun", but they got boring very fast. but toichiro, he just kept being fun. in no time at all, he was the only person besides your father you felt in anyway comfortable with. like he was always meant to be.

≿━━━━༺❀ shizuki ❀༻━━━━≾

✿ you were the only child of a famous art-dealer and a furi. nobody around town really knew you, you didn't like talking to people. the only thing anyone really knew was that you were often found in the forest, hunting.

✿ you were 12, while shizuki was 11. it had been barely a year since your mother died, in a "hunting accident". you'd just recently been able to go hunting again. shizuki was still with the senkitai.

✿ you were up a tree, surveying the landscape for your next prey. you were hoping for something small, which is technically what you got when shizuki walked into your line of sight. mistaking him for a rabbit with a winter coat, you aim your hunting wand at him, paralyzing him. thankfully, as you aimed your bow you realized he wasn't a furry little creature. you spent the next few minutes profusely apologizing while undoing the paralysis.

✿ every once in a while while hunting you'd come across shizuki. he was rather quiet, but you liked him. you liked taking him with you hunting, teaching him survival skills. you had no idea what was going on in his life, but you hoped it would help. then, one day, you just stopped seeing him around.

✿ shizuki thought you were rather cool, even if he couldn't really put it into words. you were confident, you knew what you were doing, and there was a fire in your eyes he couldn't explain. he'd never trusted someone as quickly as he trusted you. initially you were rather embarrassed, mistaking a pretty boy for a rabbit. but he did rather remind you of one, which for some reason ignited all the protective instincts in you. you had no idea why, but you didn't really bother thinking about it.

≿━━━━༺❀ kuro ❀༻━━━━≾

✿ you were the only child of a famous art-dealer and an okuri-inu. you were often found feeding the strays of the capital or helping someone home in the middle of the night. everyone thought you were quiet, but there was no one quite as helpful in the whole city.

✿ you were 18, as was kuro. technically, anyways. your mother had disappeared nine years prior, and kuro and the troupe had arrived at the capital about two years before.

✿ you came across kuro rather late at night, during your usual rounds around the capital. you'd offered to walk him home, which he eagerly took. he rambled the whole way to the troupe. you just silently listened, which is how kuro didn't notice you escorted him to his door rather than just to the barracks. and then you just disappeared, without kuro having even a change to say goodbye or get your name.

✿ kuro would sometimes on purpose stay out late, just so you would escort him home. and sometimes, he'd catch you with your furry friends and eagerly join in caring for them. you never shooed him off, but you also never really spoke to him. but kuro continued to find you, despite not knowing anything about you.

✿ kuro found you fascinating. a silent protector who appeared and disappeared as needed. once he tried calling out to you, and a few minutes later you showed up. kuro was rather certain that you were made just for him. initially kuro was just another person to protect, but when he started becoming a more permanent fixture in your day to day life, he became a comfort of sorts. there was nothing you awaited more than seeing him even for a second.

≿━━━━༺❀ oji ❀༻━━━━≾

✿ you were the only child of a famous art-dealer and a gashadokuro. this, understandably, made you a rather strange person. you really had no one in your life besides your father, which lead to you spending most of your time at the cemetery.

✿ you were, well, your body was about 28. your bones... older than you can comprehend. oji was of course around a hundred, and had been running raccord in the city for about a decade.

✿ you were wandering around town, following whatever whims your old bones had. you did it rather often, usually it lead you to places important to the people you used to be, or just interesting spots around the city. this time, they lead you to raccord. and when you stepped in, the bellflowers sitting on the counter made something inside you ache. and the eyes waiting for you behind the counter made the ache explode.

✿ you became a regular at raccord, even though you never spoke a word to oji or aoi. it hurt, coming there, but somehow it felt like you had to be there. oji, while off-put by your harsh demeanor, was patient in serving you every time you came by, expecting a day to come when you'd finally talk to them.

✿ oji found you strange, from the moment you stepped into raccord. your shifty eyes that looked far older than they should, the sad look you got when you looked at all the bellflowers and into his eyes, the occasional silent mutterings... but despite all that, he felt like he could trust you implicitly. looking at oji made you sad. you didn't know why, you only assumed that one of your bones knew an ancestor of his or something. but despite all the sadness and ache, you kept coming back because something in you couldn't stop.

≿━━━━༺❀ gaku ❀༻━━━━≾

✿ you were the only child of a famous art-dealer and a zashiki-warashi. people had a habit of calling you a child, despite the fact that you certainly were not. you just happened to look very young for your age. the problems with being half-spirit.

✿ you were 25, no matter what anyone might say about it. it had been over a decade since your mother left, which is when you started seemingly aging slower than everyone else around you.

✿ you rarely left home, it felt like a betrayal to do so, what with your role. but sometimes, you needed time for yourself. you were looking for something small to buy (while surveying the vendors, you're very aware that your patronage meant fortune to people), when you stepped into a little trinket shop. in there, you met gaku, who was looking to sell some stuff he'd made. and you absolutely fell in love with one of his creations, a little children's toy.

✿ you were a bit mad after gaku called you a child after you expressed a desire to buy his creation. but you still became a regular patron of his, always ordering small toys. gaku was certain they were for you, until he saw you playing with children, the toys he'd made all around you.

✿ gaku genuinely thought you were a child the first time you met, until he looked you in the eyes. they were far too old for a child, and it's then that he realized who you were. and he'd never been happier to have someone shout in his face. you were pissed off at him initially. how dare he call you a child, you were clearly an adult! but that anger didn't last long, weirdly enough. and he made such pretty things... you decided that you wouldn't hold it against him, somehow you felt that you never did.

Thoughts on: Toichiro

Alrighty, folks. We're finally here at the Twilight Faction! Took me a while to finish the Common Story and Toichiro's story since I was busy with IRL stuff but here I am now finally talking about this lovable trickster.

Given that it's been a good while since I've last read any of the Twilight Faction stories, I had a vague remembrance of what Toichiro's story was about but re-reading it this last week not only helped me remember what his story was about, it also made me remember why I liked him so much.

*This review will contain spoilers, you have been warned*

Toichiro lives up to being a kitsune: He can be deceptive, teasing, and tricky. But he's also kind, caring, and has a deep sense of determination. It's easy to think he's some kind of trickster, which he is, don't get me wrong. But he's a guy who not only wants what's best for his clan, but for those closest to him, in both the Kitsune village and the Capital. Not to mention this dude has no sense of frugality in him and enjoys spending his money on fancy stuff. To which I say: pop off, king.

He's a man who says it as it is and I like that bluntness about him. He's not afraid to voice his opinions and though they can border on being a bit mean, there's still some truth to what he says. And I enjoyed it when Futaba or any of the other guys challenge him on his views. Not only that, but Toichirio shows great growth from realizing that it's OK to ask for help, to rely on others all while still accomplishing his goal of being the next leader.

To add to this, I think he has the greatest sense of conviction out of everyone in the game (sorry Ginnojo). When you get around to reading the part where he and Futaba are in the Kitsune village after the Senkitai attacked them, its there where his true ideals shine. And I loved every minute of this! Toichiro swallows his pride and tells Futaba that he wants to support the people who had helped him in the past. He doesn't want to be the leader for selfish reasons but for something good. He's willing to move heaven and earth for it. He isn't going to let anyone or anything stop him for showing just how thankful he is to those who supported him. This man truly know what it means to be humble. I love this sly, sexy fox.

Unfortunately, there is one thing that I really didn't like. His ending kind of disappointed me. It wasn't an egregious ending as I did still like it. But I wished things would've turned out differently because in all honesty, his ending was anticlimactic. Basically, Futaba finally helps awaken Toichiro's ninth tail and he was able to use the full power of the Kyubi and drive back the Senkitai. You would think that it solves his story arc right? Kind of??? And this is where my disappointment shows because not long after this, his ninth tail disappears and he's back to living in the capital. Like, really? All that effort into helping him get his ninth tail and it just disappears in the next chapter??? I understand it was so he could stay in the Capital and be with Futaba but I wish it felt more satisfying. I was still satisfied with the story overall, but I wished it ended slightly different.

Even with a somewhat lackluster ending, I still think that Toichiro's route was great. Near perfection. Now I'm looking forward to reading the event stories he's in to get more lore. Overall, a great character and a great story.

4/5 stars.
