Daimon Hinako

[an-from-forensics]

Hello!! You must be Ann, The Beach’s mortician, right? I’m new here, so I was hoping we could be friends, Kuzuryu said I should put myself out there:)

My name is Daimon Hinako and my speciality is ♢! Here’s some things about me so we can get to know each other!!

-my fav animals are raccoons and dogs:)

-I’m a sweet tooth and often eat sweet snacks

-I can’t handle pressure that well, but I try!

-swiftie right here:)

-another one of my fav artists is Melanie Martinez actually!

-Winter is my favorite season even though I’m always freezing lmao

What about you, Mrs. Mortician? I hope we can interact more:)

Well hello Daimon, it’s a pleasure to meet you! I am pretty sure we can be friends:)

As you probably know already, my name’s Ann Rizuna and I used to deal in forensics back in the real world. My specialty’s actually diamonds as well. There seem to be lots of clubs or spades based players round the Beach these days..hmm..

Anyways, it was very nice to meet a fellow player here, and I wish you well!

[diamond-attorney-keiichi]

You are quite smart, by stealing my glasses and managing to run away, given the fact that physical activities, especially running, aren't exactly my strongest point, so I'm impressed to say the least. And "nerd" isn't a term I am rarely called. To no one's surprise, "glasses guy" neither. However, I feel like what I am about to say will make you return my property: revokation on the rights to mochi dangos for 5-7 business days

By the way, Chishiya isn't particularly "annoying" me as of now. I feel like he's somewhere within the building, thinking of/working on a new weapon (how does Hatter not realize he's making weapons, I still have no idea).

Besides, how come I didn't know earlier that you arrived at the Beach?

- K.

A little birdie told me glasses guy was here; how ya doing @diamond-attorney-keiichi is Chishiya still annoying you?? I think I’ll join him;) actually, *steals your glasses and runs off* CATCH ME IF YOU CAN NERD!! -Daimon

Pt2, Pt3

[diamond-attorney-keiichi]

@brdpch first of all, I can pretty much assure you that it's not cocaine. All the bags look like any regular flour bag.

Second of all, I had it coming that it could've been your hand, Daimon. Did Chishiya teach you those hiding spots ( @chishiya-of-diamonds you weren't involved in this, huh? I have to get my hands on a copy of the building map)?

But look, as I said earlier, the shirt is actually nice. I never said anything otherwise. it's just... not formal enough. Sure, I might wear this any other day but when you're a high-rank executive trying to keep this place running because your boss is way too indulged in random personal matters or drunk-driven shenanigans to actually aknowledge the issues the beach is facing, therefore leaving all the actual leading on my and other executives' shoulders, the chances are pretty slim to be seen wearing this.

However, I guess I can satisfy these demands of yours in exchange of my stolen shirts (Not before giving you a lecture, of course. I'm not one to let things slip that easily.). Yet one question still remains. What's with the flour?

- K.

Alright.

AL. RIGHT!

Who is responsible for this?

Mira? @chishiya-of-diamonds? @daimon-the-great? Was it perhaps one of you?

A little context: I return from my daily patrols around the Beach and when I return to my room for changing my shirt into a new one, I find all my usual shirts missing and they're replaced by... bags of flour and a funky shirt.

Look, I'm not mad about the shirt, the design is actually nice, but where in Heaven's name are my other shirts and why are there so many bags of flour in my wardrobe?

- K.

[your-loan-shark-girl]

book

Thanks a lot, Kuzuryu!

I've been trying to get it for a good while, wish it wasn't so high up... it's a good book though, so the effort was worth it!

Thanks again, old man!! -H.D.

Filed under “Posts That Alice in Borderland Fans Won’t Find Funny Until Season 2 Finally Airs”

[fern-thee-otter]

Updated version with the S2 squad :D

^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^

Kyuuma (he/him but doesn't mind if you use others) - radiates pansexual energy. Look me in the eyes, look me in my damn eyes, and tell me if this guy looks like he gives a fuck about what his partner's gender is. Him and Kuzuryuu were boyfrie- wait, who am I kidding? They were husbands, try to change my mind on that (spoiler: it's impossible)

Uta (she/her) - Transfem lesbian and a huge flirt, dare I say. Managed to swoop both Mira (more like piquing their interest because ✨Ann✨) and Lisa by their feet. Honestly, I think she had a lot of fangirls pre-borderlands and I wouldn't blame them.

Maki (he/they) -Not gonna lie, he gives demiboy aro-spec vibes.

Goken (he/him) - That guy seems like the token straight of the group (who's on thin ice), idk. 100% supporting his buddies though.

Shitara (any pronouns) - Genderqueer, bisexual and a certified stoner. Mofo believes gender is a social construct (which, kinda is after all), just like how Kyuuma thinks clothes are. Take a look at them, take a close look at this fucker and tell me if i'm wrong. Had no problem in being in a polyamorous relationship with Uta and Lisa (speaking of which).

Lisa (she/her) - Demiromantic bisexual girlboss. In a polyam relationship with Uta and Shitara (the poly sillies <3). Besides, you can't tell me that she never got to be someone's gay/bi awakening.

Urumi (she/her) - She seems like an aroace lesbian who flirts with people, especially men, either to manipulate them or just for the hell of it.

Banda (he/they) - (got quite conflicted on whether putting him or not cuz I hate this bitch with all my guts in the manga but ig I grew a love-hate/mainly hate relationship with him thanks to Hayato). Gay, but not just any type of gay. He's that one type of gay to say all kinds of homophøbic/misogynistic (since he's canonically a misogynist in the manga) shit one second and then kiss a guy (Yaba) in the next. And don't look at me like I'm wrong cuz I'm not.

Yaba (he/him) - (another bitch that I hate with all my soul, yet here we are. And no, Maiguma doesn't give him the pretty privilege like Hayato does.) I'm telling y'all, that's a bisexual. Like, how are you having the devil's tango with a girl and then find a boyfriend in the span of not even a day, hmm? I know what you are.

(As I said, I hate Yaba and banda with a passion, but I can't deny, they're murderous husbands)

Enji (he/they) - Aroace or homosexual, there's no in between.

Shiirabi (he/him) - Aroace and homosexual. Whatever he and Apache had during that one scene from S2E7 (also counting the manga) was the same as what Aguni and Hatter had in S1E8; Neither he and Aguni wanted to kill their s/o but it still had to happen (oh, the tragedy.)

Akane (she/her) - Aromantic and a sapphic if you ask me. I just know that she kissed at least a girl or two... or five.

Daimon (she/they) - A bisexual with a preference for women. She likes her ladies

In honor of Pride Month, I decided to shoot my shot as well so: Alice In Borderland LGBTQ+ Headcanons

| m a s t e r l i s t | m a i n . m a s t e r l i s t |

[Disclaimer: These are (mostly) only headcanons. And yes, I use the official flag colors for the colored text. tw// mention of hōmõphøbia, tränsphøbia, sûìcíde, manga spoilers, etc.]

^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^

Arisu (he/him) - Bisexual disaster. Also gender nonconforming. He likes traditionally feminine stuff. Kuina taught him how to do makeup and piss off bigots by simply being in their sight. Kinda gives off transmasculine vibes as well so... yea :D. And when dysphoria kicks in, he locks himself up in a room, usually with Usagi, with them recommending him to do activities he enjoyed in the original world, like video games and other stuff.

Karube (he/him) - I said it once. I said it twice. And I'll say it once again: Karube is one of THE bicons of A.I.B. He was even Arisu's bf, and this part from the 7♡ from the manga is pretty much some damning proof.

(A bit biphøbic/hōmõphøbic of Netflix to not include this scene imo :/ I mean, they were obviously more than friends if he wanted to live together with Arisu in Australia).

Chota (he/him) - not a part of the LGBTQ+, but 100% an ally :D

Usagi (she/they) - Pansexual demigirl. Every so often they throw hands at anyone who talks shit about them and Arisu (especially when misgendering them both). Her father was supportive of her coming out. Unfortunately, that happened about a month or two before he unålïved himself.

Chishiya (he/they) - Transmasc. Started HRT when he was 12-ish or so (before starting puberty). The Mona Lisa and that one theory about her (manga readers, iykyk) was somehow his awakening. They cut their hair at 16 and went 'Yk what? I like it.' and that's how they kept it until now. Has top surgery scars and he's proud of it. Also a biromantic ace-spec. You can already bet your ass they had a black ring on the middle finger of their right hand before but they lost it once at a game and didn't bother buying/stealing another one. That's why we don't see him wearing it.

Kuina (she/her) - Canonically, she's transfem. By headcanon, she's also pansexual. She teamed up with Chishiya because t4t supremacy. She's the one who introduced Chishiya to eyeliner and do each others' make up every so often. And as I said earlier, she also taught Arisu how to do his makeup. She gets rid of bigots as a hobby (basically, everyone in here hates bigots, hōmõphøbes, tränsphøbes, and the list goes on).

Ann (she/her) - That's a lesbian right there. She's not into men at all, and all the fandom can agree on this.

Niragi (he/him) - Most likely bisexual (who had internalized hōmõphøbia before). His bullies were hōmõphøbic as well; might be another reason they kept calling him 'twisted', 'a freak', yada yada.

Last Boss | Takatora (they/them) - Mofo's got the three A's (Aroacegender). Slashes down everyone who misgenders them on purpose with their sword. On their free time, they look at the others at The Beach, judging them and talking to cats they find roaming around the place (or even with Cabot. Thanks @aceofspadegrass for coming up with Cabot a long time ago).

Tatta (he/him + neos) - Unlabeled and lowkey transmasc. Still trying to figure himself out. Experimenting with neopronouns. Kissed xyr fair share of people.

Aguni (he/him) - GAY, GAY, HOMOSEXUAL, GAY!!! Him and Hatter were husbands. I dare you to change my mind.

Hatter | Danma (he/him) - PAN AS FUCK, BABY! Discovered that he also liked guys in high school after making out with Aguni, and later on discovered that he's actually pan. He also has a love/hate relationship with the pan jokes (he either hates them or does them himself).

Mira (she/they) - Aroace, lesbian, demigirl and batshit insane (affectionate). Need I say more? Need I say fucking more?

Kuzuryuu (he/him) - Bisexual and tired. Let's just say that a certain nudist philosopher band leader was his awakening and does he regret it? Hell no. Also tired both from the bullshit from his life from the normal world and the blatant biphobia/queerphobia he came across.

- Best core subject in school was gym. You would rather get physical and skip any other class.

- In any type of group, you fit right in. Always the charismatic and talkative one too. It's easy for you to make friends or make someone that’s considered a loner talk to you.

- You thrive in groups and hate being alone for long. Group projects were your favorite type of homework growing up.

- Best core subjects: Lunch... because you don't learn about anything you don't care about and can be with your friends.

- You don't consider yourself a leader even if your the most talkative of the bunch. You rather be the follower or the leaders right hand man. Someone everyone trusts and wants to talk to with their problems. 

- The more people around you the happier you’ll be. You just LOVE people! You’ll always be seen around at least one person. It will be a very rare scene if you're found by yourself.

DANSEN WARS - OUR WAR GAME

Danball Senki Wars Official Novel - Our War Game

Read Chapter 1 here.

Chapter Two - Day Two part 1

With every day that passed the weather grew cooler, a sure sign that the intense heat of summer was soon about to be replaced by a refreshing autumn breeze.

In no time at all, it was going to be a year since Hoshihara Hikaru had transferred to Kamui Daimon Comprehensive Academy.

‘Ohh, I’m so annoyed!’

The Second World battles for the day had ended and Hikaru and his three classmates, Izumo Haruki, Hosono Sakuya and Kashima Yuno were walking home from school.

‘What’s annoying?’ Haruki asked Yuno.

‘That recently I can’t seem to win against high-ranking players during Ranking Battles at all!’

‘Oh, really?’ Sakuya looked at Yuno while adjusting his bag over his shoulder.

‘Yup. Especially like, Rinko - recently she’s become crazy strong!’

‘Yeah, Rinko’s always wanted to be a player.’

‘That’s it!’ Yuno nodded fervently. ‘Now that Rinko’s become a player too, her Orvane has become seriously strong!’ Yuno looked so frustrated she was practically in tears.

‘But when it comes to Ranking Battles, isn’t Hikaru in first place?’ Haruki suddenly changed the topic to Hikaru, who after a brief pause looked at Yuno and said bluntly: ‘The reason Rinko’s become strong is through her own hard work. Yuno should learn from her.’

‘Oh, you’re awful!’ Yuno reproached Hikaru. ‘When a girl is in despair, you could at least toss her a kind word or two!’

‘That’s nonsense…’ Hikaru ignored the other three and continued to walk.

‘Well, Hikaru’s not the type of person to do that.’ Sakuya gave a wry smile while following Yuno. ‘Yuno, do you do your own LBX maintenance by yourself?’

‘Nope, Kyouka does it for me.’

At these words Haruki and Sakuya face-faulted. ‘...You don’t do your own maintenance?’

‘No. I mean, it’s not like I wanna be a mechanic.’

‘What a perfect example of ‘Yuno-like’ behavior.’

‘What exactly do you mean by that?’ Yuno snapped at Haruki’s words.

‘Exactly as I said. Don’t get me wrong.’

‘I’m asking you just what exactly do you mean by that?’

‘You two, calm down!’ Without a moment’s delay, Sakuya intervened.

After the incident at Kamui Daimon island concluded, peace returned to the island. Near half of the students left the island, and for a while a heavy atmosphere wafted over the remaining students. But that soon came to pass.

The kids left on the island recovered and got back on their feet. Certainly they’d endured a harsh fight, but the ones who chose to stay on the island were people who vowed to protect the future of LBX. The had to support the rebirth of Kamui Daimon, and they even now were doing their best to live every day to the fullest.

‘Speaking of which, about today’s ranking battle.’ Sakuya said to Hikaru.

‘What is it?’

‘Didn’t the movement of Val Sparos’ left elbow feel kinda strange?’

Hikaru opened his eyes wide. ‘Yeah.’

‘I thought so. I thought its fist’s movement was a little bit different than usual, could it be that its response is one second late?’

‘...That’s probably it. I noticed during battle, but I thought it was just my own control over it was slow.’

‘Got it. Bring your LBX to my room later so I can adjust it.’

‘As expected of our genius mechanic!’ At Sakuya’s words, Yuno looked at him in admiration. ‘Just by looking at an LBX’s movements you can understand exactly what’s wrong, I could never do that!’

‘It’s not an easy thing to do.’ Haruki also nodded.

‘O-oh, really?’ Suddenly praised, Sakuya’s face turned red.

‘Speaking of Rinko, she’s dating Muraku now, right?’ Yuno suddenly changed the subject. The story of Muraku and Rinko’s relationship was still a hot topic among the girls.

‘H-hey! Don’t suddenly say strange things like that!’ Sakuya stuttered in a huff. Being able to joke around like this was proof that peace had returned to the island. The four friends slipped past Duck manor’s gate and headed into the front hall.

‘Oh, welcome home.’ Tome-san, who was sweeping the front porch, raised her head.

‘Thanks, Tome-san!’ Yuno gave her the first greeting, with Hikaru following her.

‘Thank you very much.’

‘You’re as stiff as ever, aren’t you? ‘Thanks’ is fine you know!’

‘Ha…’ Hikaru awkwardly lowered his head. A long time had passed since he began dorming at the Duck Manor, but no matter how long passed Hikaru would never get used to Tome-san. Or rather, the familiarity of how everyone who lived on this island interacted with each other was something Hikaru would never get used to. It was something he had never experienced before.

‘Well, I suppose it’s fine. Hurry up and put your bags away and get changed. It’s already dinner time.’

When Hikaru arrived at the cafeteria, most of the students who lived at the dorm were already sitting down. A lot of students had left the island after the incident but, one by one students transferred to the academy, and there were many new faces at Duck Manor.

‘Hikaru-san!’

One of these transfer students, Saegusa Yuuto was looking this way and waving his hand. Hikaru sighed deeply. One year below him and a member of the former Porton, Yuuto was  an opponent who had previously been defeated by Hikaru in a local LBX tournament. After that, he followed in Hikaru’s footsteps and entered Kamui Daimon Comprehensive Academy. All in spite of knowing about the incident that had happened here some months previously.

Hikaru felt a hand on his shoulder. When he turned around Haruki was standing there with Sakuya was beside him.

‘Yuuto’s the same as ever.’ Sakuya said while smiling weakly. ‘Well, I don’t think it’s a bad thing to be liked so much.’

‘You could say it’s Hikaru’s natural charm.’ Haruki added, slightling raising his eyebrows.

‘Enough with the jokes.’

‘Alright, let’s go. Looks like we’re last.’ Sakuya took Haruki and Hikaru’s arms and pulled them towards the queue. When he looked back at Yuuto, he noticed the boy was still smiling widely at him. Sitting beside him was the former Porton’s class president, Okita Hinako, who slapped him.

‘Hey, that hurt!’

‘Quiet grinning like an idiot when you’re eating dinner!’

‘I am against violence!’

‘You’re so noisy! Listen properly to what your senpai is telling you!’

‘What? But we’re the same age!’

‘I was the first to enter this school, idiot!’

‘It’s ironic that an idiot is calling me an idiot!’

‘Shut up!’
