While Iori's fucked-up-edness is of a different style and level than Shirou's, they are for sure similar in that way and further reinforces my (and Kaya's) perception that he'd make a great TM eroge protagonist. Besides the obvious Saber love interest option, I also figure you've got Dorothea and Yui having their own routes, just look at the CGs of both of them in the game and you can see that they've got feelings for The Boy, as much as they try to hide it.

Fitting given the recent FGO news, but what are your thoughts on Takeru?
Bundling all these asks together because they're inseparable. Probably the biggest askbox cleanup I ever did in one go.
The short version of the answer is "Fate/Samurai Remnant is the story of a pair completely enamored with each other's least favorite parts of themselves."
Saber was a complete natural. A child too strong. His father quickly noticed that and exploited Ousu as Yamato's mightiest colonizer. All they knew in life was violent conquest until Tachibana taught them love and kindness. But Tachibana was uncritical. She didn't talk Takeru out of their bloody path. On the contrary, she chose death so that the walk would continue. She loved Takeru's good and bad alike.
Through Iori, Saber met a new world. A world where the weak had the option not to fight. A world where rice was easily accessible. A world that had no need for Yamato Takeru's journey, thus no need for Ototachibanahime's death. And there he met an intriguing man who still wanted to fight in a world where this wasn't needed.
In their interactions, Saber grows to envy Iori's rational acclimation to the peaceful Edo. The ability to find solutions that don't require violence. To strategize conversations. To not do things aren't virtuous. To sympathize and empathize. To read and understand the thoughts of others. It's by emulating this that Saber changes.
Meanwhile, Iori is a thinker. His exceptional rationality allowed him to weasel his way out of a village massacre, which lasted until Munenori inadvertently saved his life. After this whole time desperately using his brain to survive, Iori witnessed the easy way out. With a slash that looked like the moon, the sword saint survived without resorting to Iori's tiresome trickery. That absolute strength was the symbol of survival Iori saught.
He learned from Musashi (and Kojirou) for as long as he could, but ultimately couldn't learn all. Without completing Niten's lessons, Iori was left capable only of doing what he does best: thinking, reading, and adapting. He designed his Five Stances model and began fighting by switching patterns according to his circumstances. The opposite of the all-purpose survival mechanism that he began his training for.
Through Saber, Iori saw his original inspiration. Right in the prologue, Iori is already gushing about how Saber fights with the swordplay of a champion who doesn't read or respond to their opponent, letting only themself dictate how they fight, like they were the only one in the field. Saber can survive any situation with far less effort than Iori.
In their interactions, Iori grows to envy Saber's force of character as an unmalleable force. Their outstanding technique is just like the moon he saw at the night at the port. Iori can't feel at peace until he surpasses it. No matter how much of himself he must trim down, he needs to find raw all-purpose power (the Fire and Void Stances). Saber's ability to push through any challenge without as much as evaluating it. It's by emulating this that Iori changes.
The conclusion of Entreat the Darkness sees Iori defeated by Saber's successful read of him. The talentless Iori continuously relied on his "petty" tactic of studying his opponent, so when the talented Saber started pulling the same thing on him, it was so thoroughly hopeless that he had to laugh it off and accept he got as far as he could. Iori was pacified by his own lessons being repeated to him by the person who heartfeltly absorbed them, in classic Ciel route style.
Saber and Iori were born in the wrong eras. The latter would have been more self-assured in an age where he could prove and elevate himself in duels that put the limits of life and death to the test. The former would have been more happy in an age where they could feel assured their treasured companion(s) would last as long as they did.
But through the short time they shared, they got everything they wanted. Iori found satisfaction in finding that insurmountable that confirmed that he became the very best he could possibly be. Saber found satisfaction in gaining a companion through a much more gratifying journey than the unification of Japan.
The logical conclusion to my opening sentence is that Saber and Iori had the missing pieces to each other's puzzle, and sharing those made both of them whole.

I still can't stop thinking about the M27 teaser trailer. Honestly, when the very first teaser (that had played after the credits of M26) became available online without subs or translation, I thought the new movie might have an amnesia sub-plot. Like something happened that would make Kaito forget everything related to Kaitou KID and Heiji and Conan would have to deal with that along with the rest of the movie's plot. Of course, that idea was shot down from the translation, but I got attached to it for fanfic purposes lol.
So, after seeing the new teaser, that first silly impression is slowly becoming a fully fledged fic (is it HeiKai, HeiShin, HeiKaiShin, idk haven't reached that far yet 😅)
Like yeah, I want the dissonance of KID being aware that Heiji knows Conan is Shinichi, and Heiji not really knowing that Kaito looks like Shinichi (because Kudou never tells him any details that are not important for the task at hand). If anything, Heiji probably heard that's an option from Kazuha because Ran kept complaining to her about all the times KID had disguised as Shinichi before (or given recent manga spoilers, even from Hakuba and his suspicions).
That's why when Heiji unmasks him by cutting through his top hat, KID still slips into his Shinichi disguise (after doing it so many times, I'm convinced he can without a mirror at this point). Not because Heiji will believe it, since Conan is right there, but to buy time.
Heiji, of course, is pissed off about it, and given the whole Kidzuha fiasco, he wants to cut KID in half more than play along.
But KID says that he can't help it if disguising as the people that Heiji loves will keep him safe from his wrath. While Heiji has a crisis over what kind of love does he mean, KID makes his escape (recently stolen sword and all). Heiji throws his sword after KID, like a javelin, and unbeknownst to him, actually hits the handglider. KID drops out of the sky, fate unknown.
Next day, Iori shows up to bring Heiji to Momiji's temporary place (will the plot remain in Hokkaido, dunno) as there is a sensitive matter to discuss. Turns out, they found KID somewhere. While they recognize this person looks like Kudou Shinichi, it's still pretty obvious the clothes he had been wearing was KID's outfit. Heiji manages to convince them to bring Conan along, since the suspicion for KID's real identity will fall on his "cousin" and who's better to dispel these kind of rumors.
What neither of them expects when they are left alone with KID though is that one, he doesn't know who he is; two, he doesn't recognize Conan; but three, he remembers Heiji.
For now, I think the sword has something to do with this temporary amnesia (like holding a part of Kaito's soul or sth) since he feels more like himself whenever he's close to it. I also like actual magic shenanigans in the DetCo universe because it means I can make Akako appear (if the magic is real, she can exist. That's my rule lmao).
But that's pretty much what I have of this idea.
#dcmk#detective conan#hattori heiji#kaitou kid#drabble#wolfswriting#this isn't in any way or form a serious theory about the plot of m27#I just looked at the trailer and went “let's have some fun”#the tension when you hold your sword at the throat of your best friend/rival's doppelganger as he flirts with you to save his skin#only for the situation to get turned on its head when said doppelganger imprinted like a baby chick on the last person he encountered; you

8th Anniversary story - Chapter 8
Chapter 1 - Chapter 2 - Chapter 3 - Chapter 4 - Chapter 5 - Chapter 6 - Chapter 7 - Chapter 8
Please note that I am not a professional translator and I'm only doing this to share the side materials to those who cannot access them, if you notice any mistakes please let me know nicely. Enjoy!
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Okay, I’m gonna open it!
Izumi Mitsuki: Thank you so much!
Touma Inumaru: Hold on! Let's guess before you do that!
Iori Izumi: Guess what?
Touma: What do you think we're in charge of?
Izumi Mitsuki: Oooh, let's try guessing..!
Iori Izumi: If I had to guess, since Nii-san and Tsunashi-san are there, it's probably sports drinks, right?
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Iori-kun and Touma-kun, you seem to have an image befitting carbonated beverages, don't you think?
Touma Inumaru: The Izumi brothers kinda have tea vibes. Your family runs a bakery, right?
Izumi Mitsuki: Energy drink is also a possibility. Hmmm... It's hard to narrow it down. What do you think, Iori?
Iori Izumi: It was decided through an internal survey and a general consumer survey.
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: That's what they said.
Iori Izumi: The Tsunashi-san we know is a healthy sportsman.
Iori Izumi: But the general public’s image is erotic, isn’t it.
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Erotic...
Izumi Mitsuki: You should say "ero-ero beast".
Iori Izumi: I'm sorry for not calling him erotic twice...
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Thank you. You're very kind.
Iori Izumi: No, not really
Touma Inumaru: Haru said that too. That you’re not sociable at school, but very kind. Thanks for everything you did for Haru.
Iori Izumi: I didn't really do anything...
Izumi Mitsuki: I'm so happy for you! Nii-chan is proud to have a younger brother like you!
Iori Izumi: I-is that so? Ehehe…
Izumi Mitsuki: He's embarrassed! What a cute guy!
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: I know what you mean. Little brothers are always adorable.
Touma Inumaru: Oh, we”re getting off topic. What was it again?
Iori Izumi: Besides sports, I think he has a mature image? Is that what they call it…
Izumi Mitsuki: Oh, I see. But we don't have alcohol or anything mature on the lineup.
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Tea, energy drink, sports drink, or soda. Hmmm... I guess I’d go with energy drink?
Touma Inumaru: It is the most mature one out of the four options.
Izumi Mitsuki: Okay, we’ll go with energy drink as my first guess! Please open the box!
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Got it! Ta-da!
Touma Inumaru: Oh, four black plastic bottles!
Iori Izumi: They look like ninja drinks.
Izumi Mitsuki: Open it, open it!
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Ah… smells refreshing.
Touma Inumaru: Seems sweet… but salty?
Iori Izumi: Shall we taste it?
Izumi Mitsuki: On the count of three. One, two, three…
Iori Izumi & Mitsuki Izumi & Tsunashi Ryuunosuke & Touma Inumaru:....
Iori Izumi & Mitsuki Izumi & Tsunashi Ryuunosuke & Touma Inumaru:....
Iori Izumi & Mitsuki Izumi & Tsunashi Ryuunosuke & Touma Inumaru:.... it’s a sports drink!
*Ding ding ding*
Izumi Mitsuki: Wow! It's raining something!
Iori Izumi: Confetti and a banner... “PLAY GAME!!”?
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: It's our unit name and the name of this drink!
Touma Inumaru: Ain’t it good! “PLAY GAME!!” feels more like a sport everyone can enjoy instead of it benig competitive!
Iori Izumi & Mitsuki Izumi& Tsunashi Ryuunosuke & Touma Inumaru: Yay! “PLAY GAME!!”
Mitsuki Izumi: I see, it’s great that it’s pretty straightforward! Tsunashi-san, please take care of us, just like when we’re playing! Looking forward to working with you!
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Me too! I'm so happy to hear this. Once it releases let’s bring it with us when we’re playing together!
Izumi Mitsuki: That’s right! We’ll brag about it to Momo-san! Iori, Touma, you should come along and play sports with us too!
Touma Inumaru: Seriously? I'm so happy! I mean, I'm surprised that you think of me as a sporty person.
Iori Izumi: I’m surprised as well. I mean, I thought Momo-san would definitely be involved if it were sports-related.
Izumi Mitsuki: For sure! I think it's because Re:vale hasn't been doing sports variety shows lately, right?
Touma Inumaru: If that’s the reasoning, Tora would have been called for the sports drink.
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: Torao-kun is athletic too! So, where did Momo-san and Torao-kun end up?
Izumi Mitsuki: ...Tea? Huh, they said tea!
Iori Izumi: Nanase-san seems to be like tea as well.
Tsunashi Ryuunosuke: So does Gaku! The idea that the four of them were assigned the tea unit is interesting! I wonde rwhat their reaction is?
Gaku Yaotome & Riku Nanase & Momo & Torao Mido: gulp...
Riku Nanase: Ah…
Gaku Yaotome: Hm...?
Momo: Tea?
Torao Mido: Probably...
Riku Nanase: Tea! We’re team tea!
*Ding ding ding*
Momo: Waah!! You were right!!
Gaku Yaotome: Haha, it's confetti! And there’s a banner that says…

TEAM NEO FLARE PLANS PT. 2 (electric mommalu)
HELLO ONCE AGAIN, this is Sable, the player behind Ren and entirely too many others! We're getting closer to the date of the real meat of this plot getting started, so I figured I'd put out some feelers again just to see who still wants to take part/who else would wanna join in! This is a plot that is open to anyone who wants to partake; as long as I don't have you blocked in one manner or another, feel free to jump on in.
This plot is going to be pretty damn high stakes, and while part one of this plot is going to be the worst of it (cws for that: mind control, abusive mother behavior (emotional), murder of an adult, kidnapping of multiple adults, attempted kidnapping of a teenager, violence against a teenager), the second part will be very player determined! Though it will have some cws by default; namely endangerment of a child/teenager, the murder of two adults, the mentioned mind control of one of the admins, and a fair bit of violence. Though if you do wanna do something to your character, ask me first and I'll see what I can do. :|b And as a fair warning: part one has to be at least partially a scripted loss for the good guys, and I'm not willing to budge on this, and I would prefer minimal legendary/overpowered stuff interacting with this plot. I'm going to try not to godmod, and I'm going to ask for the same from y'all.
But anyway! I'm going to put this poll up first, since it'll be the main thing that decides when things are gonna happen. This is for part one of the plot, so feel free to vote which timeframe would be good! Other details below~ (also sorry for the pings in advance! i will need to check with peeps to see statuses on stuff)
Anywho! Let's go into the basics.
Part 1.1 of this plot is going to kickstart with Madison and Jacques being on the blog and leaving some little ciphers that are optional elements to be solved; mostly just letters and the like that Noriko exchanged with Lysandre at one point. The real meat of this will be taking place on one of the dates to be voted on, where Mads/Jacques will be getting kidnapped by Iori, a character who's been spying in Zapapico for Noriko for a while. She'll take over Ren's blog for the day for questioning and the like, and Ren will likely be reacting on Carmine's blog (along with the girl in question) while this all goes down, which is going to prompt Ren to escape BBA to save their friends, with the help of Millie/@porygonlover2009! Carmine will also be fleeing the academy, though shortly after Ren to try and tail them. This IS going to result in Millie herself being a boss encounter to fight against for anyone who wants to tail further, and while no pushover, she will try to prevent anyone from going after them and will need to be beaten. This much can be handwaved if needed!
Part 1.2 is where shit gets SPICY, and will take place on the voted upon date. This'll be taking place at the ruins of Cinnabar Island, where Ren and Carmine are going to meet Noriko, Camille, Iori, and a bunch of Neo Flare grunts. Try as Ren and Carmine might, they're going to get beaten both figuratively and literally, and will need some backup. Keep in mind: this is a scripted loss. If solely for Ren to fall under Noriko's thrall and kick the next leg of the plot under way. Carmine's own kidnapping is influenceable, but if I recall right, this'll be taken care of by the girlfriend, so help here will be appreciated to prevent anything from happening to anyone else who partakes!
From there, part 1 comes to a close, and we enter part 2: Neo Flare tries to end the world. I've actually got a blog getting set up (@team-neo-flare), but I want to encourage people to find them, and y'all are free to bring different skills to the table to do so! While Noriko is an amazing hacker and very good at keeping her location a secret, I fully intend to let people counter hack her or find where she's currently holed up, and this is the part where everyone can go as ham as they want.
There will be a few major fights in part 2: primarily, three against the admins of Team Neo Flare (Camille, Lotus, and Iori), and one final battle against Noriko and the Yveltal that she's kidnapped to do her bidding! I do have ways to help fudge a win for the good guys, but all in all, I'm leaving it very much up to y'all on how the story ends. :3b This leg of the plot will take place anywhere from October to December, depending on how my IRL job affects my energy, and while I'm hoping to get it done before the beginning of the new year, I can extend this out as much as needed.
So anyway! That about covers it. Here, I'll be outlying what I need here, and this'll be where the pings for the previous post will happen:
Part 1.1: Purely optional engagement, but if anyone wants to fuck around and help with the ciphers explicitly! Feel free to let me know and I'll see how I can make this fun. :3b partakers: ???
Part 1.2: This one I'm going to ask to be a smaller group, but I want a small group of people to help try and get Ren/Carmine back! There will be evidence left behind that can be picked up and carried into part 2 of the plan, that can also be used to help investigate matters. partakers: afaik, @elite-amarys is handling Carmine saving, @professor-amaryllis is trying to get their kid back, maybe some others! i would love others. (i think @bee-bee-kyuu too but i've also forgotten guh) also @caoimhe-from-hoenn!
Part 2: I want moles into Noriko's operations, and I'd love to have partakers in all of the fights. These are influenceable, and can even result in the admins defecting, but I wanna see what y'all end up doing! These'll be split up for my own sanity and probably separated out into days/battles handwaved if needed:
moles: Tatiana (npc), @electricalfire (iirc!), others? investigators: ???
vs. Iori: ??? vs. Lotus: professor amaryllis, others? vs. Camille: ???
vs. Noriko/Yveltal: ...probs going to be everyone and their mum but like. iron crown is here for npc backup as well as tatiana.
at any rate!!! that should about cover it, there's one last leg of the plot that'll happen once ren is freed and everything happens that will solely be a brief dive into drama stakes territory, but this is the primary meat of it!
and now comes the pings! i won't be pinging anyone more than once just for courtesy's sake, but! feel free to lemme know if y'all still want involvement or not!
@little-guys-pokemon-central @goindownswingn
aaaaaaand that should about cover it, i will be around to answer questions tonight and tomorrow after work but brainmeats. need a rest. @_@;;

Charisma House - Superhuman Sharehouse Story “Charisma” - #88 Something's off
Please read alongside listening to the drama track on Youtube.
Let me know if I missed something!
TL note:
A joke is made on Fumiya's name playing off 腑抜け (read as: funuke / lit. "coward/wimp"). He gets referred to as ふぬや (funuya). This has been localized keeping in mind the essence that Fumiya keeps his cool and doesn't waver in general, rather than he's being cowardly (by not confronting the situation at hand).
Fumiya goes いやいや, where the others answer with イヤイヤ期 which is the "terrible twos"- the age where children are at their worst- aka throwing tantrums.
Torahime: ….
Nakagami: Whew~ that’s the stuff. You cannot help but be in awe!
Nakagami: Uuhm--
Torahime: It’s Torahime.
Nakagami: The Charismas truly are terrific.
Nakagami: No matter how many times us mere normies try to catch them, they manage to escape each time from our clutches.
Torahime: Um, the perfect chance was right there at the Tendou’s house the other day though
Torahime: Could’ve like, totally captured them there
Nakagami: Be at ease, mercy is not an option next time.
Torahime: Really now? Won’t you go easy on them again right before the moment of truth?
Torahime: Since Sensei just loooves these seven guys so much!
Nakagami: It’ll be different, uh…
Torahime: It’s Torahime.
Nakagami: Torajirou-kun.
Torahime: Torahime! It’s my surname!
Nakagami: Anyway it’s not my decision to make. They have had powerful assassins at their disposal since the beginning.
Torahime: Assassins…!? How’s that possible, who would allow this?
Nakagami: mumblemumblemumble
Torahime: EEH!?
Nakagami: Now let's depart to the laboratory. We’ll wait there patiently and the Charismas will come knocking at our door, fufufu… Hahahaha!
Torahime: You’re amazing, Sensei…!
(The five of them sitting on a bench)
Ohse: … Is this okay? They won’t find us, right.
Sarukawa: Yeah, ain’t no suspicious fellas loitering ‘round
Terra: Something’s off though. Like someone’s been watching us the entire time.
Iori: Right, I feel their gaze boring holes into me
Ohse: What may this be, this repulsiveness
Amahiko: Staaareee…
(The four of them beating up Amahiko)
Ohse, Sarukawa, Iori, Terra: Pervert! Gettem! Get his ass!
Rikai: Stop! That’s Amahiko-san! Everyone calm down! It’s Amahiko-san!
Rikai: Hold your breath nice and steady in order to not stand out, okay?
Ohse, Sarukawa, Iori, Terra, Amahiko: ………….
(Fumiya nonchalantly sitting down)
Terra: So what do we do? Where do we run off to next?
Sarukawa: They got that damn radar to work with
Amahiko: I would like to go somewhere as far away as possible.
Iori: What’s the best place, hmmm
The six of them: Hmmmm
Rikai: What’s your input, Fumiya-san?
(long silence)
Fumiya: ?
Rikai: Eh?
Terra: Were you listening?
Fumiya: To what?
Rikai: Where we should flee to next.
Fumiya: Ah.
(long silence)
Rikai: Eh?
Sarukawa: But won’t they find us if we ain't smart 'bout it?
Amahiko: Indeed. Perhaps we must stay in this town for the time being.
Terra: Lots of people to blend in with
Ohse: What about money though…
The six of them: Money, huh…
The six of them: Hmmmm
Iori: What do you think, Fumiya-san?
(long silence)
Fumiya: ?
Terra: Are you listening?
Iori: …Like we said, if we should stay put for a while here or-
Fumiya: …
Terra: Hah!?
Sarukawa: What’s up with this guy. Did he loose some screws or what
Ohse: Something’s been off the entire time.
Ohse: What is it? You’re thinking of something, right.
Fumiya: …
Ohse: Hmn!?
Fumiya: ….
Rikai: He’s unresponsive! Perfectly phlegmatic!
Terra: Phlemiya-kun.
Iori: Phlemiya-san.
Sarukawa: Phlemiya!
Amahiko: What’s wrong! Get it together!
Fumiya: Hmmn~ Can’t get into it. Nothing’s coming up.
Sarukawa: Hah? What’cha mean
Ohse: You were thinking of a strategy on how to evade our enemy, weren’t you?
The six of them: That’s what it was. Fumiya-san, keep it together. Sheesh. No time to space out now.
Fumiya: Yeah, I know, s’right, but it’s kinda--
The six of them: ?
Fumiya: Something’s bothering me. Been uneasy about it the entire time.
Fumiya: Don’tcha get it too? Nothing’s wrong but you can’t go with the flow
Fumiya: Something’s just off.
Rikai: Ah, now I understand. Ito Fumiya-kun’s going through a rebellious phase.
Fumiya: Wha?
The six of them: Aaah~... He's definitely at that age, huh.
Fumiya: Wait no- no no no.
Fumiya: Not a chance. I’mma throw you guys off a cliff.
The six of them: Throwing? A tantrum, y’mean! Hahaha!
Fumiya: This is weird, stop treating me like a kid.
Sarukawa: Yer who’s weird here, stupid-ass!
Fumiya: Wha-!
(The six of them discussing what to do)
Fumiya: I’m… the weird one…?
Fumiya: Ah
Fumiya: Aaah!
The six of them: !?
Iori: What’s with the shouting
Fumiya: Right, that’s right. Something good popped up in my head.
Amahiko: Hm? Something good?
Ohse: What is it
Fumiya: Fufu… fufufu… ehehe, ehehehe….
Ohse: He’s laughing
Terra: Yuck
Iori: I’m scared
Amahiko: Dangerous
Fumiya: Fufufufu
Rikai: Fumiya-san, please don’t do that.
Sarukawa: Stop grinnin’
Terra: Ito Fumiya
Amahiko: Tsk!
Ohse: Hey!
Fumiya: Everything will be perfect. Got a great idea up here.
The six of them: Nononono!
Rikai: Without a doubt it’s something evil!
Sarukawa: And we wanna know what!

Fandom Shipping Polls - Ken Ichijouji Shipping Analysis (Poll I + Poll II)
As pointed out in the main post, every single Chosen Child will get their individual analysis post to check on the status of the current popularity of their ships. With that out of the way, let’s take a look at Ken, shall we!
The overall results / spreadsheet
Disclaimer: As the “Someone from 01/02″ and “Others” options from poll 1 and the “Someone from 01/02″ option from poll 2 have been excluded from the final analysis due to redundancy reasons and all results were culminated in another “final count”, the results will not be 1:1 to what the polls look like:
Overall votes: 148 (approx. 118 in sum after the exclusion), the main poll got 108 votes, the secondary poll got 40 votes.
The “Others” choice in the main poll received 4% (approx. 4 votes) and 5% (2 votes) in the secondary poll. The comments/tags did not specify any preferences here (aside from characters that were already part of the main choices).
Ship Analysis
1st place: With the biggest lead of all polls overall, Daisuke (61%) wins this vote with no real competition, as he had been in 1st place from the very beginning. Daiken is one of the most popular mlm Digimon ships on the planet - and for good reasons, as their anime portrayal provides for some very intense and intriguing mutual character development. Not only do they start off as “enemies” (with one of the parties unknowingly holding lots of the admiration for the other), but them turning into friends - and Jogress partners - is one of the most significant development fuels for both of them; nurturing each other’s (self) confidence while growing closer, developing great fondness, attachment and protectiveness for each other as they get more and more comfortable with themselves and in the other’s presence. It’s an endearing framing with a lot of heart, and with the additional anticipation of more news on the 02 movie, it’s really no surprise to see them being as prevalent and beloved in fandom as they are at the moment.
2nd place: With a huge gap to 1st place, Miyako (19%) comes in second, thus securing Kenyako’s spot as one of the few canonized endgame couples in the Adventure series. Thus, her popularity makes sense - with her starting off with a starstruck crush on Ken, then doubting her approach towards him during his redemption arc and reconsidering the whereabouts of her feelings, them slowly growing closer to understand each other is an endearing framing.
3rd place: This spot is a particularly tumblr’esque fan favourite - and even if Hikari received a comparably low amount of votes (5%) in comparison to the two fandom favourites, there is still a little group of dedicated Kenkari shippers in this space. Due to their portrayal as mirrors - Dark and Light - and their mutual connection to the Dark Ocean, they’re considered viable options when it comes to understanding one another’s struggles, finding hope and solace there.
Honorary mentions: Characters that got more than 1 vote include Ryo (4%) Takeru (3%), Koushiro (3%) and Yamato (2%), proving to be niche choices.
“The 1 vote squad”: As the majority of votes has been distributed among the choices mentioned above, there isn’t much left to be mentioned - so this spot is only reserved to the one-episode-only character Chichos (1%), who was shown to have a big crush on Ken.
“0 votes go to…”: Iori, Taichi, Sora, Mimi and Jou each received 0 votes - as for the four latter characters, this may be due to their lack of screentime/interaction in canon.
Annotations: N/A
What did the other polls say?
As mentioned, Ken won Daisuke’s poll (52%) with one of the biggest margins and came in second in Miyako’s (27%), thus mirroring his own results to a high degree.
However, he proved to be quite a niche choice for almost every other character he received votes for in the first place, such as Hikari (4%), Iori (3%), Takeru (2%), Taichi (2%), Yamato (1%), Koushiro (1%) and Mimi (1%). Even though in his own poll, Iori, Taichi and Mimi received 0 votes, Ken got singular votes in their respective polls.
Sora and Jou are the only characters he never got voted for, which was a mutual occurence.
Notable additions / comments / thoughts
Similarly to Hikari in 01, Ken has a built-in exposure bias in 02 due to the fact that he joined the team later on and had to go through a redemption arc first. Hence it isn’t a surprised that Daisuke got the highest scores overall, as he had been the most vital and most visible character in Ken’s personal development journey. One could almost call their relationship a legacy that has lasted throughout all these years and had always been going strong as a beloved mlm ship. Miyako and Hikari, while not having had as much of an impact and thus having received signficantly less votes, are still seen as viable choices due to their (either complementing or contrasting) personalities, potential (and, in one case, canonization).
Considering how Ken’s polls received the second most votes overall (coming in second after Taichi), it can be assumed that those choices mentioned above can be considered to be the most viable options in fandom. As for the others - thanks to the aforementioned lack of (screen)time he shared, especially with the majority of the 01 cast, it’s no surprise that those received no or very niche attention (with Yamato and Koushiro basically being the only exceptions, as they have had the chance to interact with Ken in familiar and friendly ways). Takeru and Iori, as fellow 02 group members, were seen as less viable as well - probably due to the idea that they took significantly longer to warm up to Ken in the end, despite their relationships improving in the end. Ryo also has to be mentioned, as he may not be known as having been a companion of Ken, and thus only very few (namely the 5 people who voted for him) may see him as a valid choice.
The comments in the tags have only referred to the already mentioned choices. So the “Others” option did not reveal any other potentially preferred suitors. This leaves room for speculation, but usually, the option is reserved for OC ships, for when people prefer to not ship a character at all or when they’re considered asexual (which will definitely be a future option to include as well!). Thus, I really hope to reach a wider audience if I choose to repeat the polls once the fandom is not as quiet as it is right now.

RESULTS
Note: For this part, the results will be referred to using the numbers of the options chosen for each question. For example, (1;1) is the result you get when you pick answer 1 in each question. This part will be a bit repetitive because I need to repeat Leon’s line over and over again for the sake of mentioning the food that’s suggested. If you’re only interested in finding the answer of your favorite character, feel free to search for their name.
(1;1)
Leon: Thank you for waiting. I suggest you take… the hamburger, which Iori Haruma-sama has also ordered.
Haruma: Oh, we’re on the same wavelength! … By the way, do you want my pickles?[7]
(1;2)
Leon: Thank you for waiting. I suggest you take… the raw meat, which Koki-sama has also ordered.
Koki: Nothing beats eating fresh meat raw. … Hm, it’ll destroy your stomach? That’s none of my business.
(1;3)
Leon: Thank you for waiting. I suggest you take… the curry, which Araki Kyosuke-sama has also ordered.
Kyosuke: The curry here is delicious and packed with meat!
(1;4)
Leon: Thank you for waiting. I suggest you take… the pizza, which Lance Tendo-sama has also ordered.
Lance: The pizza here is prepared carefully right down to the dough. You can tell just from taking a bite!

Jigen: I like how simple the katsudon here is.
(2;1)
Leon: Thank you for waiting. I suggest you take… the latte, which Hayate-sama has also ordered.
Hayate: Lattes are delicious. I’m skilled at latte art, you know![8]
(2;2)
Leon: Thank you for waiting. I suggest you take… the water, which Mikami Saigo-sama has also ordered.
Saigo: The water here is excellent. Why is it so good…?
(2;3)
Leon: Thank you for waiting. I suggest you take… the onigiri, which Agata Matsunosuke-sama has also ordered.
Matsunosuke: Hm? My favorite onigiri filling? I’d say kombu.
(2;4)
Leon: Thank you for waiting. I suggest you take… the matcha and wagashi, which Takato Uryu-sama has also ordered.
Uryu: I can’t take my time to savor them, but the matcha and wagashi here are delicious.
(3;1)
Leon: Thank you for waiting. I suggest you take… the cookies, which Jo-sama has also ordered.
Jo: I’ve got a weak spot for sweets. Shall I give these cookies to ladies?

Leon: Thank you for waiting. I suggest you take… the black tea, which Kamui Narushi-sama has also ordered.
Narushi: I cannot help but appreciate the quality of the tea served by the butler here.
(3;3)
Leon: Thank you for waiting. I suggest you take… the sushi, which Takato Taiten-sama has also ordered.
Taiten: You mustn’t gorge on these. I suggest you savor every single bite.[9]
(3;4)
Leon: Thank you for waiting. I suggest you take… the pasta, which Fukami Shion-sama has also ordered.
Shion: The sauce Leon-san uses in this pasta was my idea. (giggle)[10]
(4;1)
Leon: Thank you for waiting. I suggest you take… the fruit, which Soun-sama has also ordered.
Soun: There’s always a large selection of fresh fruit in season here. I wonder who supplies them.[11]
(4;2)
Leon: Thank you for waiting. I suggest you take… the olives, which Kaiba Shizuru-sama has also ordered.
Shizuru: Nice taste. Wanna have a drink?
(4;3)
Leon: Thank you for waiting. I suggest you take… the snacks, which Rui-sama has also ordered.
Rui: These are really good... They even have the region-limited stuff here…[12]
(4;4)
Leon: Thank you for waiting. I suggest you take… the gummies, which Q-sama has also ordered.
Q: Huh? You like gummies too? Don’t copy me!
TL Notes:
The original question only has 味. I added “food” just so the answers to the questions would sound less awkward.
王道 can also mean “the traditional manner” or “the tried-and-true method,” so, uh… I guess “iconic” could do the trick, too, especially considering the result this choice leads to.
I’ll be honest, this one stumped me a bit, so I just went for the safest TL approach here by TLing 量重視 as “plenty”, even if it sounds a bit awkward
I TLd this in an approximative and very simple way because if you try TLing 自然を感じる (”feel the nature”) literally in this context, it doesn’t make a lot of sense.
I had to omit TLing 旨味 (umami) in this choice, or else I didn’t know how to word my translation. Though, umami does mean “savoriness,” so… close enough, I suppose?
It felt redundant to TL フレッシュ (”fresh”) and スッキリした (”refreshing”) back to back, so only “refreshing” it is.
気が合う can mean “get along well” or “be like-minded”. “On the same wavelength” seemed appropriate considering the context. Also, I’m pretty sure that いる is for 要る, “need”, so I’m assuming he’s asking if the MC wants their pickles or not because needing them sounds strange in context. I don’t think he means to ask if there are pickles, otherwise the verb would have been ある. EDIT May 13 2024: The Justice Ride detailed profiles just dropped and it was confirmed Haruma hates pickles, so I edited the line to be "do you want my pickles" instead.
I TLd 実は as “you know” since he’s talking to the MC and I felt that “in fact” would have sounded a bit too awkward.
He’s using those good ol’ yojijukugo here. 牛飲馬食 literally means “to drink like a cow and eat like a horse,” so pretty much gobbling down food. “Gorge” felt more… Taiten-like, in terms of wording. I decided to TL 禁物 as “you mustn’t” simply because “it’s forbidden to […]” sounds super awkward in this context. Also, I TLd 一口一口 as “every single bite” because of the を in the line.
Translated in a roundabout way. More literally, the line is closer to Shion saying Leon adopted his idea for the pasta sauce, but the message gets across with the simple wording anyway.
仕入れ先が気になるところ is literally more along the lines of being concerned about the suppliers, but it just sounds odd considering the context of the line, so “I wonder who supplies [the fruit]” sounded more appropriate.
I decided to TL this more as a comment to himself than something he’d tell someone else, and the やっぱ was TLd as “great” bc the other expected meanings would have been a bit odd to use here, I think.

some utahime iori hcs i been collecting in my head
i have nowhere else to dump my thoughts so here i am. mostly young utahime iori headcanons bc HI arc was so fun
utahime is a straight A student, she's a perfectionist, has good work ethics, organized, helps everyone around her, etc--a good cookie basically. i can see her being the class president or whatever is equivalent to jjk academics
she's not exactly in par with her peers when it comes to CT, like she knows and she's aware of her skills/limitations. she tries her best not to get lost and sad when she sees her classmates and underclassmen (especially a certain tall junior who's been annoying her since the first day >_>) surpass her
she tries very hard to compensate her skills and hopes to be recognized for her talent and skills as one of the best, just like her classmates! she's very proud of them and always supports them. yet, she cant help but feel so inferior and imposter syndrome hitting her when she doesn't get the results she wanted from the higher ups
she doesn't come from a very big clan with CT (unless gege states something), i can see utahime being raised by her grandparents or her grandma before going to tokyo jujutsu high. her grandma passed away and she was basically living on her own for a while
I'm standing by the idea she attended tokyo jujutsu high over kyoto. she came from kyoto but was recruited to attend tokyo once someone heard her singing and curse energy molded through
besides baseball, one of her favorite things to do during her time living as a student was go to karaoke and sing/dance. she loved to sing modern pop songs she heard from radios, old jpop classics, ballads
utahime singing city pop classics PLEASE 🙌
when she was finally on her last year at the tech school, she met her new juniors. she met shoko first, geto, then gojo. she tries her best to be a good responsible role model for them but that broke almost immediately when 2/3 (or 1/3 really) started to tease her on the first hour and she snapped accidentally. (embarrassed she tried to apologize but the guy was just laughing???)
she gets asked out a lot on dates! usually from upperclassmen or non-sorcerers during her outings. she doesn't go on dates though though because of her lifestyle, missions, school, etc but when she does the relationship doesn't last too long :(
she doesn't really have a best friend until shoko came along. with her class peers often gone for missions, she was always alone until shoko came along. (i don't think meimei and utahime are at the same graduating year, acquaintances at best with some respect for each other)
utahime doesn't really have a specific reason for why she wanted so badly to be a grade 1 sorcerer. for a while, she's in that chase and grind to get that promotion but she's unsure why but she'll do anything for it
she doesn't have the greatest memories of her parents. she remembers her mom and some ladies in her life telling her often to marry into a rich, well-off family, have powerful children etc 🫠. as she got older, she realized she doesn't mind marriage but she also wants to do more and be a sorcerer too
she didn't consider being a teacher at first but after some heartfelt conversation with yaga, she decided to at least keep that option alive until she was ready to try it
she wasn't a drinker before. it wasn't until she got deep into heavy missions where the joy of izakaya became sort of a treat. nothing beats a cold beer and some fried foods after a stressful time out🤤
i like to think that utahime worked part time as a night club singer when she wasn't doing missions or at least to make some extra money while living in tokyo. i like to imagine her singing this one song from one of my favorite video games (more on that later)

Case 26 - Ken Ichijouji Arrive Trop Tard
[AO3 version]
“Ah they got the rest of the shards…” Arsenemon observed them by distance.
“I hate to be doing this… But do I have any option?”
“... They won’t forgive me, but… la fin justifie les moyens, I guess.”
“I’m sorry, mon ami…”
They left the 10th piece with Koushiro, who put it into a transparent container and away from the digimon… In his office.
“Good job, everyone” Koushiro complimented them with a smile, “But we still need to retrieve the stolen ten from Arsenemon.”
“Yeah, we know that!” Daisuke said seriously, “We need to keep them safe from Arsenemon!”
“You’re back to being fired up, huh…” Miyako teased him.
“We can do this, catch all of them and then save everyone. Arsenemon is our only enemy now.”
“I think he’s too fired up for our tastes,” Tentomon commended, “… Am I wrong?”
“No, but… that’s a little harsh...” the boy laughed nervously.
“Don’t worry, Koushiro-san” Iori said with a deadpan, “If Daisuke-san does something stupid we will be here to prevent him.”
“H-hey, I won’t-- But if I do, please stop me anyway.”
“That’s a weird thing to say” Patamon commented, everyone agreed.
“Iori was just joking,” Armadimon explained, “Or half-joking, dagya.”
“I know, but… I mean if one of those shards ends up… y’know…”
“Ah…” Hikari frowned.
“But that won’t happen,” V-mon said with a smile, “Daisuke has a good control over his emotions so yeah!”
“... That’s right. I have nothing to fear here!”
Ken was going home, flying on Stingmon right back to the apartment complex where he lives with his family, when he started recapping everything that happened until now.
Since Noel Leblanc appeared, Daisuke had changed drastically his stance on Arsenemon… And he definitely witnessed Noel with a fragment once. And the surname ‘Leblanc’ is too suspicious right… But Noel himself claimed to be a distant relative from Maurice Leblanc, the creator of Arsène Lupin, one of the most famous phantom thief fictional characters in the literature.
“Noel-kun said his birthday is on June 15.”
He phoned Takeru later, once he was at home. Asking if he had discovered something else about that boy.
“June 15?”
“Yes, and there’s something interesting about it… On June 15, 1906… Leblanc published a oneshot featuring Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes. But Doyle stopped Leblanc from continuing using his character by 1907, in which Leblanc then used the name Herlock Sholmès to continue his story to not abandon it.”
“Hm?”
“Funny detail, isn’t it…?”
“Herlock Sholmes…”
“Ken-chan?” his mother called him. Wormmon went to the door, “Oh, Wormmon… Is Ken-chan busy?”
“He’s on the phone now. Would you like to tell me what it is so I can tell him later?”
“Oh don’t worry, I just wanted to call him for dinner.”
“Alright, I will tell him.”
But why would that sound so suspicious…? Ken was still not sure what this meant. Rather than Daisuke… Acting strange again -- He had left without warnings and said have been after Arsenemon, who had been in the karaoke building that time.
It’s true that Arsenemon was in the building, but why would Daisuke not have warned them?
“... Why did I say that?” Daisuke was lying on his bed after he finished his dinner. V-mon walked in, satisfied with eating enough.
“Aaah~ I love food~”
“You were still eating?” the boy turned his head to the digimon sitting next to him, but on the floor.
“Yeah! It was too delicious to refuse for a second plate!”
“... I couldn’t eat enough though… Something is… buggin’ me.”
“Oh?”
“Ya know… Why did I… say that? Why am I worried about… becoming a victim of those shards?”
“Like you said, everyone can be affected by those, even Koushiro.”
“Yeah… But you said I’m good at controlling my feelings… If I was so sure about that…”
“Hey, you’re worrying about things you can’t control again. That’s not like your usual ‘you’!!”
“I guess it's puberty” he sighed, “But I don’t want to think about this. But I keep… Doing it…”
“... You’re just stressed. Wanna do something to relieve stress?”
“Ah! Want to… Watch those digimon videos on the Network, it’s always fun seeing everyone bonding with their digimon y’know?”
“Yeah! I will catch some popcorn, wait a minute!!” and then V-mon got up and ran to the kitchen.
“H-Hey, you don’t know how to use the microwave!!” and then Daisuke got up, but something stopped him drastically.
He felt… The feeling someone was watching him. He runned to the balcony and opened the door.
“Ah… Thank you, mama!” V-mon voice came from the kitchen, the Motomiyas are really nice to him!! Jun’s partner, Pulsemon, was also asking for some popcorn. He had noticed Daisuke running to the balcony but didn’t realize why though…
“Hey Daisuke?” V-mon looked in the direction of the balcony entrance, so he went there.
“Hm?” the boy looked at him, “I… I thought I heard something but… It was just the wind.”
“Huh… Strange…” V-mon blinked, “Hey, there’s something in your hand…”
“??” He noticed he was holding a paper. It was one of those black cards with a golden paw on the back. Did Arsenemon--?!
“What does it say??”
“...” Daisuke took a look at it, “It says… nothing?”
“Nothing!?” V-mon snatched the card from Daisuke’s hands, “What!? Why would he send something without a word!?”
“Who knows…” Daisuke replied with a shrug, “Anyway, got the popcorn?”
“It’s on the way!!”
Next day, Daisuke showed them the strange Calling Card when they gathered at the karaoke booth after class.
“There’s nothing written here indeed…” Takeru commented.
“That’s strange,” Hawkmon frowned, “Why would Arsenemon send you something like this…?”
“Beats me” Daisuke replied, “More… More likely how did he deliver this without me noticing he was there?”
“Hmm… Are you sure you didn’t notice anything strange?” Iori asked.
“I… I did feel someone was watching me… But… It was just the wind.”
“The wind?” Tailmon, Hikari and Miyako repeated.
“Yeah, the… window was opened a little bit, so the sound of the wind… Y’know, that thing that does… Whoooosh and sounded like a wolf’s howl.”
“Ah, I see…” they all said, except for Ken.
“A-anyway… I have no idea what this means!! It has nothing written here! Maybe he’s just pranking me!?”
“... Have you put it against the light?” Ken finally spoke.
“H-huh!?”
“There’s special inks that cannot be visible to the naked eye, you have to use a warm source in order to reveal its contents. Like a desktop lamp.”
“... I didn’t. I forgot this was a thing.”
“Then do it now,” Ken then took from his pocket a small flashlight.
“Why did you have that in your pocket, dagya!?” Armadimon asked what everyone wanted to say but was beaten by him.
“Last night the power was out in my area, so I brought it with me.”
“Still weird to have a flashlight right now…” Daisuke blinked, “Or is it because you’re into this detective role more than me?”
“Shut up and give me the calling card.”
“Right, mr. Detective~”
Ken turned the flashlight on and put the card over it. The others grouped behind him, the curiosity definitely killing them. They squinted their eyes…
“…”
“…”
“It says…”
“ ‘It says…’??” the others repeated together in unison.
“... Nothing.”
“NOTHING!?”
“This is a surprise to me too…” Ken babbled, he was confused as everyone else in the room.
“So he’s just making fun of us!!” Daisuke hissed, “That sneaky evil thief!!”
“But he knows we have the other ten shards,” Hikari mused, “Maybe this is a warning he will attack us soon…”
“Maybe it didn’t work because the flashlight is not--” Ken tried to explain, but he was interrupted by Daisuke’s gibberish angry noises.
“Then we have to look for him FIRST!” Miyako shouted, and turned her laptop on, “I’ll use Izumi-senpai’s radar to detect the other ten pieces and find his whereabouts!!”
“Guys, I…” Ken tried to talk again, but at this point everyone was not giving him attention anymore. Hikari, Takeru, Iori and Daisuke plus their partners grouped behind Miyako, and they watched the screen.
“That’s rude of your part!” Wormmon complained, “Ken-chan wanted to--”
“It’s okay, maybe they’re right… We should focus on tracking those stolen fragments first.”
“B-But Ken-chan!!”
“I said it’s okay, don’t worry about it Wormmon” he smiled serenely.
“.................. I can’t detect any of them!!”
“You can do it, Miyako!” Daisuke shouted, “BUT SOME BRAIN POWER HERE!!”
“I’M TRYING I’M TRYING BUT NOTHING APPEARS ON THE MAP!!”
“DO WHAT THOSE HACKERS DO IN THE MOVIES!!”
“WHA-WHAT DO YOU MEAN?! THOSE MOVIES ARE NOT EVEN A REALISTIC DEPICTION OF HACKING OR PROGRAMMING!!”
“...” Ken watched them for a while and then he just… left the booth with Wormmon. He sent Takeru a text message explaining he just went out to take a breath.
Hopefully he would come back with the solution of that enigmatic calling card.
Arsenemon said he would take the shard from Yamato previously, but he didn’t appear. And according to Daisuke, he was there but probably was chased by Daisuke himself in the most reckless way possible.
Those made no sense to Ken. Wormmon was on his shoulder, looking at him.
“Something makes no sense…”
“Hm?”
“Why wouldn’t Daisuke warn us? Why would he leave V-mon with me again?”
“Do you think he lied?”
“He’s bad at lying, he’s too straightforward and blunt about his feelings and thoughts.”
“True, true…”
“... he wouldn’t lie to us, or at least not to me.”
“What do you think this calling card means?” Wormmon pointed to the card in Ken’s hand, “Do you think there’s something hidden in it?”
“Yeah, I’m trying to solve its mystery.”
Everything seemed to lie within that ominous calling card…
“You’re just having fun with it, ain’t ya?” Espimon said, with an annoyed and tired voice. She was looking at Arsenemon in his disguised form.
“Before I can get all of those shards and seal them away, sure why not?” he chuckled innocently.
“You shouldn’t toy with the Chosen Children!!” she snapped, “They will totally not get that you’re actually on their side if you keep treating it like a game!!”
“Humans are fascinating living beings, don’t you think mademoiselle Espimon?” he smiled, “They can have their spats… But true friendship is what leads them to the right path. They will be fine, I’m sure they find it entertaining as well.”
“Uh… Do you think it’s okay doing this to them…?” she shook her head in disapproval “Tsc tsc, boss… I’m disappointed.”
“They wouldn’t believe me if I told them the truth. I tried though…” he shrugged, “And got no results. Not a single good outcome. So if we have to do something like this…”
“But! How about Impmon and Dracumon??”
“Ah… Uh… We have to track them down right…” he stroked his chin, “They better stay away from this. But I’ve got it covered too, mes amis are on their track too.”
“Huh… You mean Soleil and Lune?” She blinked.
“Oui. I know they like to work hunting the bad apples and making them pay.”
“Geesh, I don’t want to watch this trainwreck of a show” she pouted, “It will ruin everything you--…”
“Alright, alright. If our little monsieur detéctive catches moi before I get my hands on their shards, I will surrender and explain everything WE know to them all.”
Ken took the calling card with him to home, and tried to find a way to reveal its content. He thought the flashlight wouldn’t be warm enough to show the content, so putting it against the light didn’t work.
“Sigh…”
Maybe if he used a lighter? He knew his dad had one, despite not smoking. None of the Ichijoujis smoke, so he only had that to light candles. Maybe he should do it somewhere safer…
“Ken-chan, what are you planning to do with that?”
“The other alternative for invisible inks is using fire to heat the ink and reveal what’s hidden.”
“Oooh, like in the movies!”
“Unless this card is enchanted with magic, we might learn what’s written…”
“I can do the magic part as Pucchiemon, if you want…!”
“Pucchiemon is a fairy digimon…” Ken mused, “Thanks, I’m counting on you if this doesn’t work.”
“... Yeah I think I’m doing something bad” Arsenemon(?) sighed, “But it is justified. I need those shards so I can seal them away from both worlds. Do you understand me… Right? Then… lend me your power, mon ami.”
… Silence.
“Why are you… Doing this?” The person whom Arsenemon was talking to finally spoke, “Couldn’t you… Just straight say it instead?”
“Ah… You shouldn’t underestimate the Chosen Children, they’re said to be heroes but… I don’t think they would cooperate with a digimon and a thief.”
“... I understood. But why do you think I would help, anyway?” the person shrugged, “You’re aware that I will hate you for this later, right…?”
“I’m well aware of the risks, but you’re the one who simply offered me a hand countless times. So I suppose I can be forgiven for this.”
“When I get back to normal you might get dunked into the trash. Letting you know.”
“Will you?” Arsenemon laughed gently, “That might be what humans call ‘aggressive affection’ right?”
“No, I meant LITERALLY dunking you in the closest dumpster.”
“Oh… That’s cruel coming from you,” he frowned.
Ken used the lighter’s flame closer to the calling card. He and Pucchiemon were in the ceiling of their building, trying to test that option first.
“Ken-chan,” Pucchiemon gasped, “Something is appearing in the paper!!”
“... I know, Let’s finish heating the ink and then read the content.”
The ink was revealing word by word, and then Ken winced once he finished reading the complete sentence.
“Darn it!!”
“W-what is it!?” Pucchiemon saw Ken closing the lighter and dropping the calling card on the floor. He then took it from the ground and…
I need your help, mon ami. Can you give me the shards you six gathered, s'il te plaît?
“He… he’s asking…”
“EVOLVE INTO STINGMON AND TAKE ME TO KOUSHIRO-SAN’S OFFICE” Ken shouted, then he just phoned the others, his heart racing and afraid of something happening to…
“Uh? Daisuke-kun?” Koushiro blinked, “Why are you here at this hour?”
“I uhh… I need you to help me with something! It’s important!”
“Where’s V-mon?” Tentomon asked.
“He crashed into bed and didn’t want to come with me” he shrugged, “I think I know how we can get the other ten shards!”
“You…?” Tentomon and Koushiro looked at each other, and then to the boy. It’s very unusual for Daisuke to make plans, or rather… not telling other young five beforehand.
“Y-Yeah… It’s like… You need to look at this area!” he pointed to a random part on the map “I think it’s somewhere there…!!”
“Somewhere…?” Koushiro and Tentomon looked at the screen, where Daisuke was pointing at. They didn’t notice the boy snapping his fingers from his free hand behind his back, making a black cat with green eyes pop from the screen.
“?! What?!” Tentomon gasped -- This is…!?
Then both Koushiro and Tentomon fell unconscious on the floor. Daisuke muttered “I’m sorry, Koushiro-san, Tentomon…” and headed to the container with the wicked Digimental pieces inside. He was ready to grab it when…
“?!”
Wormmon’s sticky silk thread pulled his hand back.
He looked back and saw the entire group there, in shock.
“What are you doing!?” Miyako screamed.
“...” They definitely noticed something was wrong with him.
“I should’ve expected this would happen…” Ken said with a serious voice, “You were under Arsenemon’s control since that time he casted that spell on you, weren’t you?”
“He… He told me the truth,” Daisuke smiled, and put his hand on the top of the container, “Don’t worry, he’ll help us. I promise y’all.”
“Daisuke-kun, snap out of this!!” Hikari pleaded.
“I hate what I’m doing, but please understand this is for everyone’s sake!”
“Why would we trust you in this state?!” Takeru argued, “You’re brainwashed or something!”
“...” he dropped the smile and frowned, “He was right, we wouldn’t understand his motives after all…”
“Wormmon, don’t dare to release that silk thread!” Miyako shouted angrily, and then everyone held the poor insect digimon like a tug war, forcing Daisuke to be dragged back.
“You have me to do this…!!” he tried to resist, “I don’t want anyone else to be corrupted by those things ever again…!!”
“You’re out of yourself!” Armadimon screamed, “Don’t let him fool you, dagya!!”
“Daisuke-san, please listen to us!!” Hawkmon added.
“We will find a way to keep those away from everyone!!” Patamon said, while he and the others tried to keep Daisuke away from the container.
“L-Let me go…!” Yeah, he wouldn’t give in either… “This is the only way we can fix Ken’s mistake!!”
“Well, I will fix MY mistake without letting some thief force my best friend to betray us…!”
“!!?” He stopped resisting and let the group drag him away. All of a sudden??
“... Did you give up now?” Iori asked Daisuke, and he nodded his head.
“I… I don’t think we should be fighting him though…”
“Huh?” the others (but Ken) exclaimed.
“What do ya mean, dagya?”
Daisuke sighed, quite disappointed and ashamed of what he was trying to do.
“Arsenemon… He wants to seal those away, in another place, one no one can access. One place no one can return from if they try going there.”
“But why didn’t he say it before?!” Patamon pouted.
“Well, he wanted to have fun at least” the boy shrugged, surely Daisuke was still strange, but he managed to resist(?) to something, “He loves human being’s lifestyles. The idea of playing a cat and rat game was fascinating.”
“Why did you simply decide to help him?” Hawkmon asked.
“I had no other choice, that’s all.”
“You’re lying again,” Ken said, annoyed.
“No, I’m not. I never lied… I just never told y’all. But he believed he had no other choice. And I guess he was right this whole time.”
“Using you like that is unforgivable!” Miyako clenched her fists, “Once I found him…”
“... I let him do it. And I think it’s not anyone’s fault here, just a thread of misunderstandings…”
“Then, why didn’t you warn us before??” Tailmon asked next.
“Actually he did,” Iori mused, “when we talked to Koushiro-san earlier, I made a light joke and then Daisuke-san asked us to stop him.”
“Wait… Was it… Ah, yeah. Yeah.”
“What did you do to Koushiro-san?” Hikari asked.
“He told me to cast this spell and make him and Tentomon fall asleep. I swear I didn’t kill them! I hope…”
Then Takeru checked Koushiro’s pulse, and turned to the group, “He’s fine, just passed out.”
“Phew…” Daisuke sighed in relief, “I know I did a bad thing, but… Can we please do the right thing and talk to Arsenemon…?”
“I don’t think so… It doesn’t sound like a good idea” Wormmon said, and the others nodded.
“... You won’t trust me because of this too,” he asked them. They nodded and he felt hopeless.
“If he didn’t mean no harm, why did he use you?” Takeru clenched his fist.
“We’re running in circles, at least talk with him!!”
“Wormmon, do the honors” Ken asked him.
“W-what do y’all plan to d-do!?”
“Sticky Net!!”
Wormmon used his sticky silk thread to tie up Daisuke. Miyako and Hawkmon went to wake Koushiro and Tentomon up. And once they were awake again, they explained what had happened. But there was something shameful in Daisuke’s face. Oh he hated what he had done…!! But…
“... You should watch your surroundings.”
“Huh?” Patamon blinked.
The lights went off all of a sudden and they all were in the dark. Something happened for a few seconds and then when the lights went on again…
“GAH!? DAISUKE DISAPPEARED!!” Patamon shouted.
“The fragments too” Armadimon reported.
“H-Have Daisuke-han turned into our enemy now…?” Tentomon asked himself.
“Ken-kun?” Miyako noticed Ken was too quiet.
“Koushiro-san, can we use the tracker now?” he asked with a smirk in the face!?
“Yuck, this silky thread is really sticky…!!” Daisuke complained, carrying the container under his arm, “I should’ve asked for V-mon’s help but…”
He walked for a few hours now… Until he went to a building’s ceiling. Arsenemon was there, kinda upset?? But why?
“You’re kinda late,” Arsenemon spoke… differently from his usual.
“Oh relax,” Daisuke smiled, “It worked, be thankful for that.”
“I hate what we have done…” he dramatically whined. The boy was not sure what to say though, “I’m so sorry…!”
“Hey, I’m the one who should be sorry. But there’s no other op--”
“NILE JEWELRY”
Arsenemon jumped on Daisuke and shielded him with his cape, reflecting the explosive jewel dart to the side. Once he uncovered the kid, both him and Daisuke saw the group landing on the top of that same building they were in.
“So… y’all followed me.” Daisuke, nonchalantly.
“We will retrieve all of those shards right now, Arsenemon” Nefertimon said with a threatening tone of voice.
“I noticed too late that detail” Ken said, and then he pointed at Daisuke, “You’re not the real Motomiya Daisuke.”
“Huh??” they all blinked.
“Have you hit your head when y’all were in the dark dude!?” Daisuke babbled, “Of course I’m Daisuke.”
“Then… How did you explain you having powers only Arsenemon has? You were building this up… Set the scene of stealing Daisuke’s identity to trick Izumi Koushiro-san.”
“Dude…?”
“Then sent Daisuke a strange calling card to pretend you were asking for his help. Tell me, since when have you switched places with Daisuke, Arsenemon?” and he smirked.
That silence could either mean Ken was right… or that he was just in total denial. But the truth was…
“... As expected from you, monsieur detéctive. You’ve caught me,” Daisuke(?) smiled. He snapped his fingers and suddenly the illusion forms both he and Arsenemon(?) were undone, revealing…
“You’re terrible at being me…!” Daisuke (the real one) hissed.
… that Daisuke and Arsenemon had switched appearances.
“Oh…!! Now that makes sense” Hikari nodded, “That’s why Daisuke-kun was acting strangely.”
“No, there’s more…” Takeru interrupted her, “You're not just Arsenemon, right?”
“Hm?” Arsenemon blinked, “Oh… I guess I was careless enough to make things too easy for you all…” and shook his head.
“What do ya mean?” Armadimon blinked, “Is there more?”
“Won’t you tell them, Daisuke?” Ken asked him, “After all you know it too, or didn’t you know?”
“...”
“Daisuke-san knows?” Hawkmon asked.
“Yeah, I know” and the goggle boy sighed, “Kinda recently, but yeah…”
“Hmmm??” Miyako raised an eyebrow.
“We have a lot to talk about,” Arsenemon chuckled, snapped fingers and his form changed to… “You can dunk me into the dumpster as you promised, Motomiya-san.”
“N-Noel(-kun/san)??!” the others, but Ken and Takeru (+ their mons), exclaimed.
“Now that we have been introduced… Allow me to explain my goal here, Chosen Children.”

Inside the Pandora Castle (part 1)
[AO3 version]
Summary:
A barrier prevents Wallace to return with Daisuke and Ken, forcing them to go to the castle. Meanwhile the others are informed about their current status by Ken. But the moment they decide to go after the boys, Hikari sees a flashing and mysterious light. The final battle begins. Who will win? Duskmon or the Chosen Children?
[Note: It's 2008; The title is a double-reference to Deltarune's "Pandora Palace" & Lady of the Castle Arc 3]
Running to the castle, the boys had to face a ton of digimon in the same conditions as Wallace had been before. Fladramon, Pucchiemon and Gargomon opened the path to the castle but carefully to not hurt the digimon.
“Don’t you think it’s a bad bad idea to go to the enemy’s territory all alone?” Daisuke asked, stunting some of the enemies in their way with the Lighdra-Glaive.
“And do we have any other option?” Ken replied, “It was too easy to rescue Wallace-kun, this is intentional.”
“So, you think Duskmon wants us to come back?” Wallace asked, dodging from a digimon who got thrown away by Gargomon.
“Probably” Ken answered, and then Daisuke slashed against another soldier digimon coming at them.
“I don’t get it! He wanted to kill Daisuke, now he wants Daisuke to storm into his castle!?”
“I don’t understand that too!” Daisuke growled, “Can he please decide? He wants me dead or not!?”
Ken took a while to answer that. In fact, there’s some odd events and such… If this-so-called Duskmon wanted Daisuke dead … Wouldn’t he go after Daisuke while he was all alone and pretending to be a digimon?
“... Wait a minute” Ken stopped running. The rest of the group stopped and looked at him, confused, “Daisuke, he didn’t want to kill you.”
“H-Huh!?” They exclaimed.
“To be honest, he would’ve done that before if he wanted to. I guess he wanted you two to get those hidden powers first.”
“Well, he’s not going to get’em because none of us know how to get’em.” Daisuke said with an annoyed voice, shrugging “Like, do he expect us to know how to get those… Are we that smartasses to know how to unlock a power none of us knew we had until now!?”
“You’re admitting you’re not smart huh?” Wallace rolled his eyes.
“At least I wasn’t manipulated by some weirdo in googly eyes armor!”
“Googly eyes armor?” the digimon blinked.
“Um, I think he manipulated you too” Ken tried to intervene, “Because you were under his power doing awful things before.”
“... W-whatever” he blushed shamefully, “I… I don’t want to think about it now…!”
“Let’s not fight,” Wallace laughed nervously, then “Daisuke’s right, he can’t get those powers from us if we never get them first.”
“Let’s go, if we can find a way to escape from this place then let’s not waste our time!”
“Just a second, we need to let the others know” and Ken grabbed his phone from his hoodie’s pocket and called Miyako.
“The others?” Wallace blinked, “Does it mean… Miyako-san is with you? I missed her so much”
Ken immediately glanced at Daisuke with such annoyance and realized his friend was facepalming. The digimon kept confused, but Pucchiemon just saw Ken almost smash his phone.
“Did I stutter?” Ken said, with a big grin on his face. Said grin made Daisuke feel it was the same smile Ken gives to people he plans to murder slowly and painfully (ok no, he just messes with their belongings like taking all the batteries from their remote controls and unscrewing light bulbs as warning)
“So she’s not?” Wallace asked with a frown.
“LET’S NOT TALK ABOUT THAT!” Daisuke interrupted the possible fight, “Right, call Mimi-san or Iori and let them know” and he silently signaled to not mention Miyako after this. With bad mimic skills so Ken took a second (or two) to get it.
“I got a call, be quiet everyone please!” Miyako announced, and the group, hidden in a spot near to the castle’s domains, stopped chatting to let Miyako talk with Ken on the phone, “Hello? Ken-kun did you two get into the castle?”
She gasped next, “Wait, he met with your two, he was under a digimon’s control and attacked Daisuke?” The group were now babbling ‘what’ ‘huh’ ‘eh’ in the background. Miyako continued, “Ah you guys are all safe now… Huh, he can’t leave the castle’s area so you decided to go find another way by going to the castle?”
“What?” Hikari asked, Mimi was frowning, Takeru and Iori were still shocked. The digimon reactions reflected their humans’ as well.
“Oh Ok… One more thing: Why are you calling me ‘Iori-kun’!? Oh, oh … I got it. Okay, please be careful” and she hung up.
“Are they in trouble?” Mimi was still frowning, hugging Palmon a bit more tightly.
“Yeah but…”
“We should go,” she said, “I’m sure if we go after them, we can cover their weaknesses with our own abilities.”
“Mimi-san!?” They glanced at her, shocked. This wasn’t usual from her.
“Our friends are in danger, and I think we need to do something. We won’t kill the digimon like Daisuke-kun and V-mon were doing mercilessly. I won’t allow that.”
“But… what will we do-- Huh?” Hikari heard a voice and saw a sparkling light. She got up without warning the others and ran after it. Tailmon and the rest came with her, and then they met…
“Sorry for luring you in like this” A male white wolf-esque armor digimon said as the Chosen Children approached, “Don’t worry, this area is protected by the power of Light and won’t be touched by the power of Darkness.”
“Who… Who are you?” Palmon asked.
“I’m Beowolfmon. You may need my help if you want to beat Duskmon, so listen carefully.”
“Geez this castle is still creepy inside” Daisuke commented, slashing the soldiers coming in their direction to stunt them “Man, I wonder where’s the exit of this area…”
“This is still too easy though,” Ken muttered, “What does this Duskmon-guy want with us?”
“Wallace, do you remember anything that could be an exit from here? Like, a gate or a door, anything!” Daisuke asked, blocking a Pawnchessmon’s lance from hitting them. Pucchiemon used his beams to destroy every Eyesmon inside their shadows.
“Uhh… I remember there’s one strange door in the living room.”
“Right, show us the way.”
“Ok, follow me!”
“Wait you two,” Ken babbled “This is what--”
And once they destroyed the living room’s door… Duskmon was already there waiting for them.
“--he wants…” Ken completed his phrase right after both Wallace and Daisuke were captured by the Eyesmon, making them unable to move “Pucchiemo--”
But the digimon trio was hit by air slashes caused by Duskmon’s blades, throwing them and Ken to the wall. They devolved back to child level and fell on the ground, Wormmon on Ken’s lap, V-mon and Gummymon by his sides.
“Argh, I can’t move!” Daisuke tried moving the arm holding the Lighdra-Glaive, but no success. The Glaive then disappeared from his hand, maybe he still had a bit of control over himself “Ken… Leave us here and escape!”
“What!?” Ken and the digimon got up, trembling “I won’t let the enemy win..!!”
“Looks like I’ve already won” Duskmon replied calmly, “I have two powerful powers in hands”
“Heh, we don’t know how to get it so you’re not getting anything!” Daisuke smirked, but that smirk showed some weakness… Deep down he believed they all had failed.
“Now I can explain why you’re here, human child,” he said, looking at Wallace and ignoring Daisuke, “So listen carefully.”
Beowolfmon moved his hands and showed them holograms made of his light power to the children:
“In the Ancient era, there were two powers coexisting. The power of Miracles, which as the name says, is the ability to turn everything possible…”
Meanwhile Duskmon explained the same thing for the trio and their digimon:
“... And the power of Destiny, which is the power to write and rewrite any destiny. The power of Miracles existed to counter the power of Destiny, keeping it in check.”
“H-huh?” Ken reacted a bit badly, now he understood why Daisuke had been in danger and why Wallace was captured in the first place.
A bit far away from the castle, Beowolfmon continued:
“Those powers were sealed by the holy and ancient digimon as an attempt to prevent any disasters caused by both.”
“Sealed?” Miyako blinked, “So, that’s why only Qinglongmon and the Holy Beasts, and Holydramon and Seraphimon could summon them before?”
“These powers are related to a lineage of Ancient Digimon as well, and only said Digimon together can use said power.” Duskmon then added “And since I have you two here…”
“What do you mean!?” Ken asked this time, and he saw Daisuke and Wallace turning to him and the digimon trio’s direction “D-don’t tell me…!”
“Ken, run away! Don’t let… Us get-- --!!”
“Daisuke, what’s going on?!” V-mon panicked.
“... I see. The key to unlocking such powers is V-mon and Gummymon” Ken muttered, “Because they’re related to Magnamon and Rapidmon.”
“How do you know about Rapidmon?” Gummymon looked at Ken, astonished.
“Let’s say I’ve researched it…” He replied.
“So we’re the key!?” V-mon asked Ken, but Duskmon answered:
“Yes. Now you two children, give me those digimon.”
“I don’t understand how you can get those from us, but we WON’T help you!” V-mon and Gummymon roared together.
“It doesn’t matter,” Daisuke said “Now come here V-mon.”
“You too Terriermon,” Wallace added.
That already made the digimon step back, something was off. And Ken noticed it especially by the name Wallace used. Wasn’t the blonde boy referring to his partner by ‘Gummymon’ before?!
“Ken-chan, we need to do something!!” Wormmon gave Ken a nervous glare.
Beowolfmon continued, the same time as Duskmon:
“You children have created a new power with your bonds. Those weapons made by the ancient Digimentals… I can see you have infinite potential.”
“But you need more if you want to beat me. Once I have the power of destiny and miracles in my hands…”
“He will rewrite the story.”
“What!?” The kids (and Ken plus the digi-trio) exclaimed.
“So we need to go there,” Takeru said, “We need all the power we have to face this Duskmon right?”
“One question, please Beowolfmon” Hikari interrupted them, “Did you save Daisuke-kun and V-mon from getting hurt before?”
At the same time, Ken and the digimon tried to escape from Daisuke and Wallace. Only to Lekismon invade the room throwing her sleeping bombs at the boys’ shadows. The Eyesmon duo left the shadow snoozing.
“Lekismon!!” V-mon exclaimed.
“Hurry up, get out of here right now!!”
“Ugh… my head…” / “What’s... going on…” Daisuke and Wallace said at the same time, only to be grabbed by one of their arms by Ken and dragged to the outside of the living room.
“There’s no time to waste, we need to leave!!”
“You won’t leave.” Duskmon snapped his fingers (yes, he has hands which can mutate to blades) and more digimon appeared in the corridor.
“Oh no!” Wormmon exclaimed. “What will we do, Wallace?” Gummymon asked the boy.
He looked at Daisuke and Ken.
But they didn’t need to do much, since arrows of light and energy hit from somewhere.
“What?” Daisuke blinked, then saw Takeru and Hikari running after them holding more of those digimental weapons, A crossbow made from Nefertimon data and a gun-bow made from Pegasusmon’s “T-Takeru, Hikari-chan!? Wait where you get--”
“EVERYONE, DUCK!” They heard Miyako’s voice and once they ducked a big Shuriken passed through their heads.
Gust of winds repelled all the digimon coming after the boys and their digimon, flying over their heads. Iori was hitting the enemies with the Submari-Sword in wooden sword mode, protecting the others from being hit by the enemies. Lilymon flew and used her Green Trap technique to paralyze the evil guys by releasing flowers and pollen over them.
“They all are here!” V-mon exclaimed.
“Right… We need to fight as well!” Daisuke grabbed his D-3 “Ken, let’s go!”
“Right!”
V-mon and Wormmon evolved into XV-mon and Stingmon, then jogress evolved into Paildramon. Wallace and Gummymon were shocked, they had never seen that digimon before.
“Amazing…”
“Wallace, should we fight too?”
He couldn’t answer though…
Beowolfmon stormed from the group and went directly against Duskmon. Their blades clashed and started to destroy the castle, turning it into ruins by their collision. The digimon partners (Paildramon, Fauermon, DrillDigmon, Angemon, Angewomon and Lilymon) held the kids tightly, and Daisuke also held Wallace & Gummymon to not let them fly away from the heated fight happening right there.
“Who’s that!?” Daisuke asked, but a flash passed through his mind.
The time he and V-mon almost died… A very quick light had come from nowhere and had teleported them to a realm of light for a few seconds, and when Duskmon had disappeared, they had returned to the Digital World.
“It was you…” V-mon said what Daisuke was about to say, “The one who saved us.��
Yes, it was Beowolfmon that time.

Geto and Utahime: their likely or unlikely comparison and how it “breaks” the JJK world
(Ok this idea came from this “shippy” post that I made but I decided to copy paste some ideas and elaborate more on to it u.u)
SIMILARITIES ARE BLARING RIGHT AT YAAAA FACEEE. Traditional Clothing. Half tied long dark hair. (There’s the facial scar if u consider Getwo). More to that, there’s PERSONAL TRAITS AS WELL.
THIS PANEL RIGHT HERE! and as said by the JJK wiki
After defeating Yuta’s classmates, Suguru cried and expressed the joy he felt seeing young sorcerers work together to protect one another. With a crazed smile, Suguru cried out and stated it was the type of world he longed for.
And you know who else values teamwork??
Kyoto Tech with even a whole ass arc to showcase that which is probably influenced by none other than their teacher, Utahime Iori.
—
Yes, Uta and Geto aren’t EXACTLY alike with their ideology as Geto falls more in the unhinged side of things and also they differ in power levels. Their empathy levels are different too.
Geto greatly cares SOOOOO much for his job as a sorcerer but him being assigned to protect Riko left him concluding that killing non sorcerers is actually how it’s supposed to help fellow sorcerers. He had a good intentions really that spiraled into something because he is one of “The Strongest Duo.” Geto believes in power and how the strong ones protect the weak.
But when it hits him if non sorcerers(“the weak) are EVEN worth protecting when that damn cult of tengen ordered to kill an innocent girl, his ideology spiraled. He couldn’t handle the fact that other sorcerers might feel this too and went on believing that wiping out ever non sorcerer with his great power solves this problem.
Utahime here who also cares very much but her different power level leaves her with other options and thinking outside the box. Despite her short screen time, her character has a lot to say. We’ve seen how she outsmart her way through things because she can’t just power over things. It reflects on how she later teaches that her student might not be ALL THAT POWERFUL but they got each other’s back. Utahime greatly cares for her student, the next gen of sorcerers, but her position in jjk world the leaves her stuff uncheck like how the Kyoto Tech targeted Itadori w/o her knowledge
The thing is Geto let his empathy towards sorcecercers an actual unbearable burden because of how he was treated as one of the strongest. Even THE Gojo, the other half of the strongest duo, couldn’t even be there for his bestie (who we can’t really blame cuz he was raised to be strong on his own too). Geto ended up being messed up cuz of that, went into a killing spree, and turned himself against the system that he once believed was right.
Utahime prioritizes her relationship with others and understands that there’s a weight she’ll willingly carry due to her position. We see how she adores Shoko, great friends with her even through the YEARS and despite living in different cities. Utahime probably goes into giving effort to catch up with Shoko and maintain their relations. The same way in her students, she will do everything to protect them like how she also turns herself against the system once she went cahoots..
It’s their difference of power that makes their empathetic nature different from each other. Their examples of selflessness in different ways makes the nature of the jujutsu world fall apart.
The jjk world absolutely emphasized having your individual power is basically everything to the point you’ll be cut throat to others to earn that. Gojo being the prime figure then the great families always beefing about head clans and superior techniques. Utahime challenges the idea with her caring nature towards her students that despite her lack of power she manages to nurture the individually weak Kyoto tech team to come together in fighting. So it raises the question, does connections matter if you wanna be strong?
Meanwhile there’s Geto who challenges that despite how he wielded THAT power, but when he was at his lowest being strongest persisted in him that he sucked in trying to find support in others. The idea that one must be individually strong at all times led him to spiral down, creating one of the big villains against the jjk system. Does being strong really matter if you don’t even have a connection? No wonder why he cried so much seeing Yuta and others teaming up against him.
In other words, their existence pretty much shakes the idea of the jjk system’s individualistic world that they’ve brainwashed on most sorcerers. Utahime tries to resist it and thinks outside the box while Geto did come to a realization of it, he threw a huge fit about and became a big villain against the system.
#jujutsu kaisen#jjk#jjk meta#jujutsu kaisen meta#utahime iori#suguru geto#geto suguru#iori utahime#holy fuckin shit this was hard to write im not even sure if im making sense#pushed through it cuz im being content starved for uta and i miss her#also geto you poor soul#feel like u and uta could have been friends i guess??????#at some point???#ok edited the title i think that fits more like it#mine#meta attempt

Cyber Sleuth AU for 02 kids
If you know me, you would remember i'm more like a "Walking AU Machine" and instead of making OCs for the things i like... I just throw Daisuke & co. into those universes to see how they would handle them.
[SPOILER-FREE BTW!!]
I’m copy + pasting from my twt thread.
※ temp art for the post, he does not look wear Aiba protag outfit, ok?
Daisuke, Ken, Miyako, Takeru, Hikari and Wallace are from the same high school, but NOT from the one Aiba/Keisuke are.
Do not ask about why Wallace is here, i just can't leave him out. I'm pretty much Wallace brain rot right now.
Miyako is secretly a hacker, while the rest not.
Daisuke accidentally get taken by an Eater like Aiba protag, but just like Aiba he manages to become a "digital being" and Miyako helps him to find data to build a body. Like Aiba, yeah. Then this group of teenagers decide to investigate this peculiar critters to bring Daisuke back, so they casually meets Kyoko and the CS cast.
They solve things together sometimes, but their focus is just helping Daisuke, of course.
The 02 group got their respective digimon (yes Wallace got two again because he can) though Daisuke has befriended a ton of digimon. Yet his main partner is V-mon.
Mirei finds interesting this version of those kids, because she's aware about their 02 (canon) counterparts lol.
Oh yeah, Iori is just a middle schooler who works as everyone's "voice of reason" and he vaguely remember of his late father knowing Matayoshi.
(why? because i like Matayoshi so much. He and Hiroki would've been good friends imo)
The 02 group has actually no official "headquarters", so they keep using the computer room from their HS for this. And sometimes they have to use the bedroom for one of their members instead.
But y'know, Miyako being part of the Computer Club helps them a lot.
They do not want to mess with the business of the other hacker teams (Hudie, Zaxon, Rebellion/Rebels, Jude, Demons, etc) but they somehow follow Nokia's philosophy about considering the digimon more than hacker tools.
So they fight evil hackers hurting the digi for Mirei lol
Hikari heard of the rumors of the ghost boy wandering in Kowloon and keeps trying to catch a cool picture of him. Ken is also so interested on this mysterious boy that he goes investigating it.
However, Daisuke hates ghosts. Especially because Ghost Boy = Eaters around.
When the other six discovered Miyako was actually a legit hacker, they asked her why and she just "Idk i thought it could be useful someday" "Oh..."
Takeru: So Daisuke-kun, since you can become invisible... Daisuke: No. I won't help you to prank Yamato-san. • • •
Ken: ... How do you feel? Daisuke: Ken: I'm serious, do you feel something? Daisuke: It's hard to explain... I feel nothing, but i can taste the food. Wallace: How!? Aren't you made of data now? Daisuke: [shrugs] At least i can't die by Kuremi-san's coffee blends. Them: Lucky you • • •
Daisuke: We need a group name if we're hackers now! Ken: I don't think we need a name though. Daisuke: How about... Them: No. Daisuke: But-- Hikari: Please, no names. Daisuke: Okay 😔😭 • • •
Btw, evolution chart:
V-mon → XV-mon → Wingdramon → UlforceV-dramon
Wormmon → Stingmon → Okuwamon → GranKuwagamon
Hawkmon → Aquilamon → Hippogriffomon → Valdurmon
Armadimon → Ankylomon → Groundmon → Cannondramon*
* I know this line is not present in the games, and i don't like the options in-game 😔
Patamon → Angemon → HolyAngemon → Seraphimon
Tailmon → Angewomon → Holydramon
Terriermon → Gargomon → Rapidmon (perf.) → SaintGalgomon
Lopmon → Turuiemon → Antylamon (deva) → Cherubimon (virtue)
That’s all for now folks ✨

Mitsuki Izumi Sugao Rabbit Chat - Part 3: A day of relaxing
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5
ㅤ
Mitsuki: Manager!
Mitsuki: I’ve fulfilled my promise, and performed a hat trick!
Mitsuki:
Tsumugi: Wow~~! You really did it, as expected of Mitsuki-san!!
Tsumugi:
Mitsuki: I really didn’t think that I could do it, so I was shocked as well ww
Mitsuki: But it was because I had Tsunashi-san to assist me that I was able to do it! He always passed me the ball with perfect timing! Both of our teams had the same score throughout the game, and in the end I managed to score a goal during the additional time, it feels great~!
Tsumugi: The match sounds intense…!
Mitsuki: Momo-san also managed to score two goals, his physical strength and fitness are still very strong after all.
Mitsuki: Though after the match was over, everyone was super tired ww
Tsumugi: Sounds like everyone had a fun time, that’s amazing to hear!
Tsumugi:
Tsumugi: Are you back at the dorm now?
Mitsuki: I’ve finished tasting our victory barbeque, so I’ve just arrived at the dorm!
Mitsuki: Although I’m not that drunk, Iori was still very worried about me so he made me some miso soup~!
Tsumugi: As expected of Iori-san…! How considerate!
Mitsuki: Yeah, that really is the case!!!
Mitsuki: My younger brother is capable and considerate and smart, he’s the absolute best~~~~!!
Mitsuki:
ㅤ
Choices:
Option 1 - Did Iori-san say anything?
Mitsuki: I gave him a big hug the moment I got back to the dorm, so he gave me a puzzled look and asked “Are you drunk!?” and such ww
Mitsuki: He was lecturing me on how I shouldn’t drink too much while pouring me a glass of water!
ㅤ
Option 2 - What flavor was the soup?
Mitsuki: The soup was clam flavored! [1] I think he overheard that I was meeting up with the sports club, and guessed that we would go drinking together before returning home, so he prepared it in advance! It really makes me feel all warm inside~
ㅤ
Option 3 - Did anyone else say anything?
Mitsuki: I think Yamato was also drinking beer alone at home, so we’re both drinking clam miso soup right now ww
Mitsuki: When I showed him the footage of us playing indoor football, he said something along the lines of “You guys sure are full of vigor~” like he’s an old man who’s a shut-in w
ㅤ
Mitsuki: Although I’m about to head to bed soon, the smell of barbeque is still on me, so I have to shower again~
Tsumugi: You said that you have to shower again, does that mean you’ve already showered before returning home?
Mitsuki: Yup, me, Momo-san, and Tsunashi-san went to the sauna together after we were done with our indoor football match!
Mitsuki: The Neppa shi’s [2] service spirit was amazing!
Tsumugi: By Neppa shi, do you mean the person who fans the heat for the people in the sauna?
Mitsuki: Yeah!
Mitsuki: I think he’s a very well-known Neppa shi, he sure is an energetic person www
Mitsuki: He was shouting “1, 2, 3, heave-ho~~!!!” while fanning, I just couldn’t lose to him, so I shouted “Heave-ho~~~!!!” along with him ww
Tsumugi:
Tsumugi: Is that so!? That feels like it would be very hot…!
Mitsuki: Honestly there was more sweat than when we played indoor football w
Mitsuki: We couldn’t handle it anymore while we were halfway through in the end, so everyone just jumped into the ice bath w
Mitsuki:
Tsumugi: But you all jumped into the ice bath right after you’ve sweated a lot, it must feel nice!
Mitsuki: Mhmm! It was super nice! Plus we also ate lots of delicious meat! This day off really isn’t too bad.
Tsumugi: Only the showering part is left now then! Please do your best!
Mitsuki: Urk, Iori coincidentally asked me to go shower as well…
Mitsuki: Although I really want to sleep, I will still try my best.
ㅤ
End of part 3
ㅤ
[1] - Clam miso soup is a traditional hangover cure in Japan, from what I found on google!
[2] - I couldn’t really find an English equivalent/word for Neppa shi (熱波師), so I just decided to go with that lol

New Year’s special story - Werewolf Idols ~ LIVE or HEAVEN ~ Part 9: Nighttime War Council [Day 3]
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8 | Part 9 | Part 10 | Part 11 | Part 12 | Part 13 | Part 14 | Part 15
*A dark place*
Momo: Fuu..
Momo: Mission complete
Momo: Tamaki was pretty nervous when they wanted to hang him first
Momo: I wonder what happens after somebody gets executed
Momo: Wait for me, darling!
*Cut to the game*
Tamaki: Thanks, Momorin
Iori&Tenn: Thank you so much, Momo san
Iori: Good job
Tenn: He really acted great as the madman
Iori: Yotsuba san, you’ll most likely be executed tomorrow
Tamaki: Yeah… I resigned myself…
Iori: Just so you don’t draw attention to us, make a silly face tomorrow. And be sure to keep it up the whole time
Tamaki: A silly face!? Got it….okay, I’ll put up a sad expression…
Tenn: Two priests make a new year…*
Tamaki:....!?
Tenn: New year
Tamaki: Ahaha! Tenten, what are you saying?
Tenn: You’re not laughing
Iori: I don’t think he can afford the two priest thing. Does Trigger have fun telling similar jokes at home?
Tenn: It’s a trademark gag my family said for the New Year
Iori: I didn’t want to hear!!!
Tamaki: Wait, so it's fine to not act seriously?
Iori: I don’t want to hear that from you
Tenn: Who will we bite? Nanase san would be the best option, but I’m not sure we can afford that
Iori: We need to think about who the hunter is more likely to escort
Iori: I would say he’s going to escort the medium, but after Nikaido san’s speech he may go for Inumaru san
Tenn: We want more than to avoid a successful escort, don’t we?
Iori: I think we should bite my brother
Tenn: And don’t you think you’ll get caught, after that?
Iori: Yes, probably…but I feel like they’ll notice something if we keep acting like this. I think we should draw a little bit of attention to us
Tenn: Then I should be worried about Ryuu too…
Tamaki: What about Gakkun?
Tenn: Gaku trusts me. Also, everything he feels is shown on his face. I’ll immediately understand if he gets suspicious
Tenn: On the other hand, I’m not sure about what Ryuu’s thinking right now. However, if we bite Ryuu now, I feel like I’ll become suspicious
Iori: The same goes for me, if we bite my brother
Tenn: Didn’t we bite off smart people, until now? Logically, you’d be the next target
Iori: This is true. The more I survive, the more I become suspicious
Tenn: We got in trouble due to the plan of executing all the divinators… by the way, Natsume san is definitely the fox
Iori: Yes, he is. He said I was a villager
Tamaki: Can’t we just bite Minamin, then?
Iori: The fox spirit doesn't die if he gets bitten. He can only be casted to death by the real divinator
Iori: I suggested that divinators forecast each other, but he dodged it well
Tenn: We don’t have time. What are we going to do tomorrow?
Iori: Nii san…Inumaru san…What do you think, Yotsuba san?
Tamaki: Uhm… Rikkun
Iori: Why?
Tamaki: ‘cause Mikki would suspect Iorin, and Ryuu aniki would suspect Tenten…
Iori: But I think Rikkun would suspect both of you…
Iori&Tenn:.........
Iori: The hunter may be protecting the medium, but…could we do it anyway?
Tenn:...let’s go for an all or nothing, then
Iori: Understood. Nanase san, then
Tamaki: I’m nervous!
Tenn: Let’s hope we get to eat Nanase san
*Shade in and out*
Riku/medium: I could finally say I was the medium…!
Riku/medium: Ah, I feel relieved now… I thought I would have died before getting the opportunity to say it
Riku/medium: However, this morning was kinda shocking. I was notified that Yuki san was actually a villager. I was like “whaaat?!”
Riku/medium: I thought that Momo san was telling the truth. I never would have thought he was so good in such a deception game
Riku/medium: I wonder who the wolves are…have the others understood that yet?
Riku/medium: Natsume san is pretty wolf-looking, isn't he? Or maybe not…?
Riku/medium: I wonder if Yamato san is the madman. He looks like the real deal, anyway… But Ten-....Kujo san seems real as well
Riku/medium: Could Natsume san be telling the truth after all? Regarding his forecastings…uhm, I got a memo here
Riku/medium: He said that Haruka kun and Iori were villagers. Sounds true…
Riku/medium: However, Iori was the wolf boy. I think he’s a wolf
Riku/medium: Aah, how scary. I wonder if I’ll get bitten tonight…
Riku/medium: Please, Mr. Hunter, protect me! By the way, who’s the hunter? Touma?
Riku/medium: The hunter wasn’t able to protect somebody yet! That is so like Touma!
Riku/medium: I didn’t mean it in a bad way! What I was trying to say is that Touma is cute and funny in his way of always being undecided
Riku/medium: Gaku san looks like somebody who could kill off a wolf with one big shot! He’s a member of Trigger, after all!
Riku/medium: Ah…I hope I’ll survive tonight…
Riku/medium: Please, God…!
*Cut to a dark place*
Momo: This is the place where people go after they’re executed.. I hear some lively voices from here…
*Doors open - Cut to the TV studio*
Audience: Kyaaaaah…!
Momo: Wah…!
Audience: Momo chan!
Audience: Momo!!
Momo: Hello! Momo chan is here!
Audience: Kyaaaaaaaaah…!
Sogo: Hello, Momo san
Nagi: Welcome, mister Momo!
Momo: Hi everyone! Ah, food!! It looks delicious!
Torao: Getting back to the topic we were talking about earlier, is Momo our vocalist?
Audience: Kyaaaaaah!
Momo: What? Your vocalist!?
Yuki: No. Momo will form another unit together with Tamaki tomorrow, when he comes
Momo: Forming an unit with Tamaki?! Me!?
Yuki: Exactly. The name of the unit will be “The circle of hell for those who sell their partners”
Audience: Ahahah!
Momo: Ahah! I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Don’t hold a grudge, darling…!
Yuki: You even said you’re a wolves stan
Momo: Now that I’m not the madman anymore, I can go back to being the forever Yuki stan Momo chan!
Yuki: Really?
Momo: Really!
Yuki: Okay, then. I’ll forgive you
Audience: Kyaaaaaaaaah…!
Momo: I’m so happy, darling! You didn’t cheat on me, did you?
Audience: He did!
Momo: What!? He did?!
Yuki: I didn’t, I didn’t
Nagi: I’ll take responsibility
Momo: You did something, Yuki!?
Audience: He did!
Yuki: I didn’t, I didn’t
*Cut to the game*
Yamato/divinator: Aaah, Inumaru…Inumaru, please…don’t die
Yamato/divinator: However, thinking about it…
Yamato/divinator: I said I would have forecasted Inumaru, so if Inumaru is a villager and he dies, then I’ll gain their trust
Yamato/divinator: Maybe they will finally notice that everything I said until now was true. I even declared everything
Yamato/divinator:.........
Yamato/divinator:....sorry, Inumaru
Yamato/divinator:....please, die….
Yamato/divinator: I’m deeply, deeply sorry! But I want you to get gloriously killed tonight, to prove I’m the real deal…
Yamato/divinator: Did you understand, wolves? I guess our mutual love will continue tonight as well…?
Yamato/divinator: Please…! Inumaru…bite off Inumaru…!
*Shade in and out*
Touma/villager:..........
Touma/villager: I can feel kind of a murderous intention around me, now…
Touma/villager: Will I get bitten tonight? Aaah, that’s scary as hell!
Touma/villager: Anyway, it’s still better if they kill me rather than Riku, who has a useful power for the village’s sake
Touma/villager: Okay, wolves. Leave Riku alone. Eat me instead
Touma/villager: Aah…
Touma/villager: I’m prepared now, but the night is so long…I’ll think a little bit more, just in case I survive
Touma/villager: For the forecasting, I think that Mina’s telling the truth
Touma/villager: That’s because he doesn’t look like he’s just observing the situation. On the contrary, he looks kinda nervous, actually
Touma/villager: Mina has quite thick skin, he alway acts very calmly. Even when he’s cornered, he never loses his composure
Touma/villager: Since he’s a prodigious actor, I think he would have talked much more if he was lying. Just like Momo san did today
Touma/villager: However he was very quiet today, as if he wanted to be trusted. When it came down to it, he took it passively
Touma/villager: Uhm…
Touma/villager: …no, maybe he just doesn't want to be discovered
Touma/villager: If he was the real deal, I think that not being trusted would have made him lose his temper
Touma/villager: Or rather, he would have looked at those who didn’t believe him as coldly as he could….
Touma/villager:...what? Did I talk too much? I think they're going to kill me later…
Touma/villager:...if I survive until tomorrow, I’ll try to trick Mina and get some answers
Touma/villager: I’m going to say that I cannot trust him. Then, if he answers back with kind words and tries to gain my trust in a humble manner…he’ll be guilty
Touma/villager: Otherwise, if he tries to hide his frustration and hold me in scorn…he’ll be innocent
Touma/villager:.....
Touma/villager: Okay, then. Let’s try
*Shade in and out*
Mitsuki/villager: What a turn of events! Momo san was an impostor, then
Mitsuki/villager: Who the hell are the wolves…?
Mitsuki/villager: Oh, yeah. Yesterday I said that Iori was acting weird, but perhaps he’s not a wolf
Mitsuki/villager: He put forward so many deductions after all. Then, there must be a wolf among Yaotome, Kujo, Tsunashi san, Isumi and Inumaru
Mitsuki/villager: Well, I don’t think it could be Isumi…he likes playing the bad boy role, but he’s definitely not a good liar
Mitsuki/villager: Yaotome doesn’t look like a wolf either. So, I have Tsunashi san and Inumaru left. I don’t feel like Inunaru is a wolf…
Mitsuki/villager: Tsunashi is not the lying type either, but maybe he could suddenly do something unexpected
Mitsuki/villager: For example when he plays sports, he can easily make a wonderful pitch without any hesitation
Mitsuki/villager: That means he could be a wolf…uhm…
Mitsuki/villager: I don’t have a clue! Who the hell is the wolf?!
*Shade in and out*
Gaku/hunter: Nanase is the medium…
Gaku/hunter: If I protect Nanase, tomorrow we’ll know if Momo san was a wolf or not
Gaku/hunter: I’ve always protected Tenn. Maybe it’s okay if I choose Nanase tonight… maybe?
Gaku/hunter: The reason why I escorted Tenn is that I listened to what Rokuya and Nikaido said
Gaku/hunter: They said that the divinator, who can understand if somebody’s a wolf or not, is more important to the village than anybody else
Gaku/hunter: Also, they said that leaving the divinator alone to protect normal villagers would have been weird
Gaku/hunter: Well, I thought they were right. That’s why I protected Tenn, who looks like the more trustable among all the divinators
Gaku/hunter: However, it seems that wolves are attacking normal villagers more than divinators
Gaku/hunter: They probably thought that people like Rokuya or Midou could be more dangerous than the divinator
Gaku/hunter:...why? Maybe because they were cunning and seemed to understand the game pretty well
Gaku/hunter: But don’t they think it would be worse if the real divinators forecasted them, and discovered their true identities?
Gaku/hunter: Ah, but Yotsuba is still alive
Gaku/hunter:....Yotsuba
Gaku/hunter: Normally, Yotsuba would have been executed from the very beginning
Gaku/hunter: But then, Momo san said that Yuki san was a wolf
Gaku/hunter: Since the wolves already knew each other's names they should have understood in that moment
Gaku/hunter: That Momo san was an impostor
Gaku/hunter: But we listened to Momo’s opinion and we delayed Yotsuba’s execution
Gaku/hunter: We need four days to execute all the divinators. Since we executed Momo san…what was Midou saying? I can’t really remember
Gaku/hunter: If villagers become the same number as wolves, we lose. The execution chances are…
Gaku/hunter: One, two, three….mh?
Gaku/hunter: It’s about time we execute Yotsuba, isn’t it…?
End of part 9
TL notes:
(Japanese play on words for the New Year.. A buddhist priest is a 和尚. If we change the pronunciation of the number two (which is “futari” for people) with the english one (two), we get the same pronunciation as お正月, which means “new year”. That’s why two priests make the new year)

Brothers Conflict (Passion Pink) Part 2 - Asahina Kaname Route
Okay, I'm not the most interested in Kaname since he feels like such a pervert lmao, but we'll see I guess loll. LOL I hate it when Kaname makes everything become so sexual, but I really like his voice so I'm confused😭 It's so cute how Ema is becoming more snarky with her responses to Kaname because he's so over the top with what he says lol. I love how Ukyo is the one who scolds Tsubaki and Kaname for troubling Ema with their incessant flirting, like geez to them lol! I love how Ukyo told Kaname to like get away from her forever😂😂 Anyway, I think I'm already kinda warming up to Kaname, just because on the dates, he's not so "crazy" about her and acts normal lol, but still really loving and sweet. I liked how he held her hand when she got a bit cold after the dolphin show, he probably knew she would be uncomfortable if he hugged her, so he did that at least and I think that was quite considerate of him considering how he usually acts haha. Lmao when the right option was to say that she wants to be like Kaname (kind and attentive), it was kinda cute how he laughed and thought she was cute for saying that hahaha.
Aww I love the zoo one where Ema doesn't go check out Tsubaki and Azusa filming because it's a day out with Kaname and she wants to properly spend time with him because of that. Lmao when Ema got turned off on going on the rollercoaster after Kaname said it would be wonderful to hold her hand and kiss her when it gets to the highest part on the ride lolll. Well, he didn't explicitly say her but he might as well have😂 Aww, even though I thought Ema was really reckless to overdo it looking for Wataru in the rain, but I think alike Kaname, it was really nice to see that she cares so much for the brothers that she was so obstinate about finding him before caring about herself. I would have loved to see Kaname hug her~~ I agree with Kaname though, there's something about listening to the waves at night, seeing the sky and the ocean kinda merge together, and you start to think about how vast everything is and how small other things are. It really helps to calm you down, but I guess at the same time it can be unsettling though haha. Kaname is such a sweet talker to say that he would save her before she would even get scared or cry hahaha. I definitely love the more serious Kaname, there's something really mature and alluring about him when he's not joking around haha. LOL when he went over to the water and tripped over seaweed😂😂 It was so cute how he pulled her into the water too for laughing at him. OMG I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT!! I knew he was going to be corny and say that love is mightier than the pen and the sword but I honestly didn't think he would kiss her so suddenly!!! The CG is so beautiful btw. Something I wish Masaomi's route had was something like a kiss CG though, that would have been so nice, they were just so polite with each other all the time, it was kinda sad we never got to see anything more romantic, it was still cute though of course but yeah~ I'm really enjoying Kaname's route now.
Okay, I died when Ema fed Kaname her Bento when they went to the park, like omggg that's so cute. Honestly though for Ema, regardless of whether she likes Kaname or not, I think it's a bit hard to act normal with him after he kissed her like that on the family holiday lol. Omggg, Kaname was pretty pushy, but honestly him asking if he could kiss her again and stuff was pretty hot lolll! Especially when he licked or kissed her ear or something loll omg. He's moving wayy too fast for Ema's innocent mind haha. But at least even though he's pushy, he's never really forced her to do anything, and the drive to the night view was something she was okay with going to with Kaname. But she did trust him to not overdo it and he did push her past her boundaries a bit so yeah...it was hot but also I felt bad for Ema. Okay, Kaname apologised to her, that's good. I guess her avoiding him and Iori telling Kaname how down she seemed helped him realise he might have gone a bit too far lol. Omgg when drunk Subaru pushed Ema down though, like it was hot, but I felt so bad for her because she was scared, I think Azusa comforting her after he saw them though was what made my heart melt. He's so sweet, I love Azusa😭 Anyway, ever since I checked Kaname's VA and realised that it's Suwabe Junichi (VA for Archer from Fate/stay night), I was like, no wonder why I love his voice!! Hahaha, and yes, now I like Kaname even more loll. I'm so glad Ukyo was there to hit Kaname at the cultural festival, lmao at the things he says sometimes, like seriously, super inappropriate lol. But lmao at Kaname announcing to her classmate that he's Ema's boyfriend loll.
Honey in cafe au lait?? Is that a thing??🤔 Anyway, I usually hate it when the guy is jealous and possessive, but honestly when Kaname got jealous and mad, I couldn't help but feel a bit happy because it was kinda..cute? Hahaha. On the other hand, Azusa being a bit "mad" that Kaname took Ema away was cute too, I love him loll. It's kinda interesting how Ema always thinks Kaname is playing around with her and isn't serious at all, but then she does stuff like stay over in his room hahaha, anyway, it's cute how he always says good morning to her~ When Ema asked if they could sleep together (since she couldn't sleep), I knew Kaname would find it difficult to hold himself back, but dangg, the kisses🥰🥰🥲 Awww Kaname let her use his arm as a pillow, that's actually really cute. Anyway lmao I find it hilarious that Juli the squirrel is calling her pitiful for spending Christmas Eve playing games hahahah. It's kinda cute how hardcore Ema is when it comes to games though lol. Lmaoo at Yusuke and Tsubaki's new year's wishes, they're so silly😂 It was kinda interesting to see both Ema and Kaname bury the kitten, mainly because it was nice to hear that the idea of the dead's souls/hearts returning to the side of those who think about them is a nice way to view death? Honestly though, I really want to like Kaname but his "romantic scenes" have been irking me quite a bit, especially the last one sleepover CG(?), like I really like how hot he sounds and I alwaysss get enraptured by his voice but seriously, he needs to stop lol. Like, if Ema was more receptive to his advances, I think I wouldn't be as uncomfortable but she's always telling him no and to stop it, but he just continues and says afterwards that he held himself back already. Like excuse me dude, if you held yourself back, you wouldn't be practically forcing yourself on Ema and touching her without her permission especially when she says no. Like seriously, he's the adult here! Anyway, yeah I feel like the only time I liked him was around the kiss scene lol. On the other hand, I find it interesting that Ema still thinks Kaname is just playing around with her when he's kissed her and stuff. To be fair though, he's always teasing her and he's never seriously told her his feelings in a way that she would understand as not playing with her so I'd say it's more his fault, especially since she's younger and more naive, and she considers him her brother so...
Very Kaname-like to give Ema perfume for White Day and then tell her to only use it when she goes out with him haha. HAHAHA, I just realised I missed out on a funny zoo date where Kaname asks Ema what animal she thinks he would prefer compared to Juli, and she said it probably doesn't really matter to him because he likes human girls the most😂😂 I mean, it's nice that Ema finally realised her feelings when she saw Kaname with another girl and Tsubaki and Yusuke said he always does that and is never serious about any girl, but it was pretty random and sudden tbh lol. I feel like it could have been done better especially since most of Kaname and Ema's recent scenes have just been him "attacking" her lol. I'm glad that Tsubaki who is usually as playful as Kaname is, is now shouting at Kaname telling him to stop playing around with her if he isn't serious, because really, if she doesn't understand and think so, there's no point if he thinks he is serious. Oh wow, did Kaname just break his phone to prove that he's serious about her and won't talk to other people? Lol! Whaaat! Kaname quit being a monk and went to his mother's company?? Honestly though, I'm rather suspicious of this monk thing, like was he actually a host all along? Lol, I mean, we never actually got to see him do anything related to his work this whole entire route lol. Anyway, the kyodai/brother ending is really weird considering the flow of events and how Kaname kissed her and stuff for alllll those months, like that doesn't make sense!! Lol anyway doesn't matter. Btw, Kaname in the epilogue(?) is sooo hot in a suit, and omggg at Ukyo discovering their relationship in the worst way especially with how Kaname says stuff lol. Otherwise, the CG was niceeee 🥰
Overall, I loveee Suwabe Junichi's voice and I really think he made Kaname a better character than he actually was lmao. Honestly, I really enjoyed the beginning of this route and I really thought I'd love their relationship because of how forward Kaname is, but I think from the middle onwards, I lost a lot of interest because of how clunky the flow of events were, and the events themselves were rather disappointing I guess. Most of the events that happened after the kiss was mostly just Kaname "teasing" Ema and a lot of them were more uncomfortable than sexy even though his voice really made me love and hate it lolll. My heart was confused haha. Kaname does a lot of things that are a bit over for me especially since Ema isn't very receptive towards it and tells him to stop but he really doesn't and touches her quiteeee a bit, so yeah I didn't like it all that much, but at the same time I could never really understand Ema either? Lol. Like, she seemed so confused throughout the route about Kaname and I feel like she only liked him because I "chose" him through the dialogue options than because she really liked him lol. I think a lot of it was just awkward, especially her revelation that she likes him, like lady, you saw him with Hikaru before too lol, but anyway their "confession" of love to each other was also pretty underwhelming considering how frustrating their relationship was throughout the route lol. Otherwise, I loved Kaname's voice and if you ignore how much he touches Ema and says so many inappropriate crap, he's actually pretty sweet and loving. I definitely prefer Masaomi overall though haha.
