[mikurinkuwu]

i drew my mikurin fankid again

[skubean]

May i request a short reader hc with any of the holotempus boys?

thanks for the request <3 ! i really liked this idea bcs im sort of short as well (5'2) *sobs* anyways, i decided to go with altare, axel, bettel and hakka since i'm not confident in writing for all of them yet (sorry!!) but i hope you liked this!

holotempus boys with a short! gn reader

characters: regis altare, axel syrios, gavis bettel, banzoin hakka

warnings: gender neutral reader, ooc, mentions of pet names (baby, babe, love), mild cursing, mentions of insecurity, nothing else just mostly teasing and fluff! (i did not proofread this (my bad) but lmk in case of errors.

regis altare

let's be real. the guy definitely feels a sense of pride knowing that there's someone shorter than him sksksks (since he's the shortest in hq)

he is the definition of a devil in disguise (affectionate) bcs mans will mess with you at any moment he gets despite having that soft smile on his face

he loves knowing that you rely on him esp if there's stuff you can't reach.

"what're you doing, babe? can't reach?". towers over you from behind to get whatever you're tryna reach.

if you're insecure with your height, altare would probably not mess with you as much bcs he wants you to be happy! for him, height doesn't really matter as long as the both of you are happy.

if you're just a little gremlin, expect having small silly banters with him that ends up becoming happy cuddles at the end of the day. let's just say teasing each other is your love language.

jokes aside, i think altare is the best person to be around with, mainly bcs he's attentive and focuses on your wellbeing most of the time.

imagine being in a crowd and separated from him, he would still be able to find you, ofc he would, he's just that good.

overall, altare's just being silly but definitely thinks you're cute to tease, and he uses that to his advantage.

axel syrios

menace. absolute menace.

he likes the feeling of being reliable, so he'd definitely purposely with full on intention place stuff on the highest spot so that you would have to come to him for help.

imagine his smug face when you come to him asking to get the plates placed on the highest shelf and as soon as you turn around, he silently fistbumps as a sign of victory. (he's goofy i just know it)

definitely extra protective of you, thinks you're really precious and he's like a bodyguard for some reason.

the type to always have his hand around your waist ueueueue.

if you're a little self conscious with your height, i expect axel to be really good with reassurance. he's playful, yeah, but he definitely cares more about you.

"no, baby! i think you're absolutely adorable and perfect the way you are!!", he would say this while cupping both your cheeks so you'd look him straight in the eye.

he's a hugger, so expect cuddle sessions almost 25/8.

he could be gaming and would suddenly ask you to sit on his lap or something bcs he just likes the warmth.

again, height isn't an issue for him, in fact, he finds it endearing with the height difference.

as long as you love him and he loves you, he would protect you at all costs (with a lot of teasing).

gavis bettel

pretty similar to axel, bettel definitely is big on teasing.

but his teasing are quick to follow with affection afterwards. definitely the type who jokes and then says sorry afterwards.

one time, he saw you sitting on his gaming chair while he went to grab some water and he noticed how your legs dangle slightly from how high he had his chair on. never told you this but that image of you is always on his mind, and he may or may not have snapped a picture, saved it in his phone, probably under an album filled with other pictures of you.

phantom reminds him so much of you bcs of how small he is, in a good way ofc. definitely pesters phantom abt it too.

if you're the type who would react to his antics (like get mad at him (jokingly) when he messes around), bettel sees that as an encouragement for him to mess around more.

rests-arm-on-your head typa beat

big spoon in bed for sure. the type that intertwines his legs with yours under the cover so that you're pretty much trapped under his larger build.

i headcannon that bettel is shy with pda but does stuff that indicates he wants touches!

for example: you're both sitting on the couch, and he would scooch closer to you when he sees you hella focused on whatever show is on the tv and if he thinks you noticed, he would stop. but then, he'd do it again and again until you get the hint and just lay your head on his shoulder. (mission accomplished, he thinks)

he probably doesn't realise this, but he's considerate of you. the type who would bend slightly when he kisses you without thinking bcs it's just something that happens.

definitely adorable.

banzoin hakka

hakka is a sweetheart. i just know so. in fact, i'm sure of it.

probably the opposite of the other three. jokes around but doesn't really do it much.

the type who would place stuff at a level that's reachable for you. (and for him lmfao)

probably doesn't mind about height because he's short too (his words, not mine).

still likes being the bigger spoon. one time, he was the small spoon and it was too much for him, he couldn't handle it. (weak to receiving affection).

definitely a giver. gives plenty of affection to you throughout the day that when you reward him with a little peck on the cheek, he gets all flustered and stumbles on his words (nerd.)

he's your protector. the type that would cover your head when you bend down to grab something, or would walk on the side of the road.

hakka heard you complaining abt your height one time and went full on nagging mode skksksks. doesn't like hearing you fret about your height because he thinks you're perfect!

"love, height shouldn't even be an issue because it's just height. i'd rather have you as you are bcs you're my y/n". he's so cute i can't.

lowkey feels like he would pat your butt sometimes, idk why this just popped up in my head but he does it whenever you start mumbling abt being short.

overall, he's very sweet. never lets height become an issue bcs fuck being tall!!! short is the new trend!! /j

a/n: sorry, this didn't come out as good as i was hoping bcs i ran out of ideas T.T i actually initially was planning on writing it longer but my brain is poof :( anyways, i hope this is fine huhuhu i'll try my best in the future! SORRY I SUCK i've been on tumblr for years but have never actually wrote anything so i'm a little stupid sksksksk. ok that's all, thank you !! -beanz

MACHINA X FLAYON & DEBUT STREAM

"Hey- HOLOSTARS English Guild TEMPUS' -genius?- Pilot- Machina X Flayon here! If it's a vehicle, I can pilot it, or, drive it, or riiidee- yeah! My dream is to become the ultimate Jack-of-all-Trades; acting, singing, cooking, playing games- I want to do it all! You only live once, so you have to live without regrets. You can always hangout with me when you're feeling down! I would be so happy if you wanna become a machiroon. See you around!"

Machina X Flayon + Debut Stream marks Flayon's first appearance as a HOLOSTARS TEMPUS's member, under the group name, Vanguard, alongside 3 other members; Gavis Bettel, Banzoin Hakka and Josuiji Shinri. It was streamed on January 8th 2023, right after Gavis Bettel's first debut appearance. It is mostly a light-hearted stream introducing himself, alongside a peak into his life as the pilot of guild TEMPUS.

Summary:

Flayon is considered “a genius who can pilot any vehicle in an instant”

It should be noted that, his eyes during the introduction video is red and changes to green-red instead. It never returned to the original color until the end of the stream

Carries items with him when using/piloting R-TRUS

R-TRUS control panels (act like shields from what the debut mentions)

His tail serves as an “antenna” or an “ignition key” in order to pilot R-TRUS

Is “sensitive” according to Flayon

“His piloting is unmatched” “There’s nothing he can’t pilot!”

There’s nothing spherical in the R-TRUS according to Flayon

Can’t explain much about R-TRUS or he’ll get in trouble, according to Flayon

R-TRUS responds kinda late to Flayon even though he was already in it to begin with, though he pays no mind to it

Bettel in particular has been bullying him forever, according to Flayon

“I don’t know why! I didn’t do anything to him!”

His guild card:

HP – around 50%, a blue bar filling the other half MP – around 20-30% STR – again, around 50%, a blue bar filling the other half DEX – around 50% INT – 100%, the bar fully yellow LUK – around 20-30%

They found R-TRUS after Bettel shot Hakka with a tranquilizer dart

R-TRUS assumed to have gone haywire, causing Shinri to save everyone and return to Tempus/Guild Hall

At this point, he’s 18,432 years old

“Or what I like to call, hm… eternally 18?” [laughter]

In his way of doing things he’s actually really young, according to Flayon

His role in the Guild is customer support

“I’m pretty good at it, I don't know. Just.. with technology, I might end up breaking it…”

R-TRUS is very big. Flayon isn’t allowed to disclose the exact size but we’re left to assume it’s colossal

Before Flayon shows Elysium in the R-TRUS, he says:

“Should have enough energy in it this time.”

His mood switches really quickly when finding Magni

Goes from wanting to hurt/get revenge on him to saying “don’t walk away from me…”

R-TRUS finds Hakka, but the screen quickly flashes to the tree and back to where he was standing, Hakka now gone

Flayon notices him at first but once Hakka disappears he says: “Huh… okay…”

Mentions the tail very briefly

“Like I said: don’t touch it.”

Explains the control panels a little more; calls them shields, but explains that they’re how he operates everything

The R-TRUS needs energy to pilot, but specifically from Flayon’s body

“It’s always been there. I’m not sure—nobody really knows about it.” “The more charged up and healthy I am, the more I can run!”

Elaborates on his guild card a bit more; the blue half of the bar counts R-TRUS

Can be REALLY strong when piloting/full of energy and healthy

Leaves his luck stat VERY vague and up to interpretation

“Think about it VERY carefully, and I think you’ll understand.”

Can’t show us his room “yet, but maybe one day”

His Hobbies:

Drawing

Has always been drawing, stopped briefly(?) at age 8,000 according to him Got back into it when he struggled to pilot R-TRUS

2. Acting/Voice Over

Struggled with expressing himself when he was younger Saw people in Corpse Party dying and wanted to do that

“I don’t know, it’s fun just making those sounds.”

Demonstrates him screaming, then says: “yeah, it’s kind of like when Hakka stabbed me with his spear.”

3. People Watching

Glosses over it, doesn't even acknowledge it

4. Reading

Favorite books are “The Four(?) Ravens” and something else

5. Troubleshooting

6. Singing

7. “CRUSHING PPL :)”

Was also pretty shy, still is, but going to Tempus really helped according to him

Says it’s been easier, and everyone’s been checking on him at Tempus

Was all self taught when it came to acting

His Dislikes:

Leafy Veggies Tomatoes Poor Hygiene Headaches Sensory Overloads Insects (except pillbugs)

One time he was mowing and mowed over a wasp hive in the ground

His Likes:

“PPL Better Than Me” Visual Novels (Tsukihime, House of Fata Morgana, and one more he can’t mention “for reasons”) RPGs/RPG Maker Sweets and Candy Fighting Games Cute People Plot Heavy VNs

Before he can elaborate on the last two, R-TRUS targets Flayon with a text box reading “Stop Talking :)”

Flayon nervously reminds us that there’s certain things he can’t talk about

He runs away after this to Bettel’s room, where R-TRUS follows him inside the Guild Hall (somehow)

Begs Bettel to open the door for him

When he gets back, R-TRUS’ marker is still on Flayon

Flayon tries to calm it down by singing(?)

Starts crying? Sounds desperate and scared

Eventually, R-TRUS goes away

Explains that he’s trying to give as honest answers as he can, then says: “I think I’m hiding something.”

Loves Re:Zero and HunterxHunter for the story/writing and for how pathetic their protagonists are

“I’m not insecure whatsoever, no… I can be insecure about a lot of things, but not this.” (referring to his favorite anime and games)

Chose machiroons because of “rune knight classifications in games” according to Flayon

His Oshi Mark is a low battery 🪫 because he’s always low on energy

“It’s like a fighting game: your life won’t end until you hit zero.”

His Goals:

500k subs Jack of All Trades He “likes doing everything” An Original Song Song Covers Compose Music To be in a fighter or an RPG game

His Content Ideas:

Gaming Streams Zatsudan Adventuring Streams Drawing Streams Song Covers Karaoke Voice Help Tips

Flayon shows off his model

The earpiece he has is what he uses to communicate with everyone when he’s inside the R-TRUS

Has his pilot symbol on the collar of his coat/armor

“I can’t pilot without it.” “The code is “Tempus-made” “So I belong to the guild.. that’s nice. I don’t feel.. alone.”

Brings up the control pads when showing off the model

Explains that they’re not actually controllable, but he tries his best

R-TRUS suddenly flashes a message saying [Unknown Emergency Signature].

Flayon sighs and checks out the mech

Says the R-TRUS settings look normal + all valves are up

Suddenly, the R-TRUS flashes another message: [TARGET: BANZOIN HAKKA]

“He’s really powerful, and he’s really scary. You’ll see what I mean by that.”

[thebookofnehemiah]

"The Nsh." From the Book of Nehemiah, "the Exploration of the Mysteries of the Lions that Lay", 2: 1-6.

The Prophet Nehemiah who calls himself the Cupbearer of the King, is actually something called a Nsh, "a prince." He continues his story about the rebuiding of the Kingdom of Israel from his learned perspective.

The name Nehemiah means "to console after desolation". He is the fruits of the actions of what is called a Hakaliah. This is the deep red color in the wine, that which gives the blood its rich luster. The term as with all Hebrew terms can be dual and imply deep delusion.

The Nsh obviously has to be one of a kind:

"The verb חכל (hakal) means to be darkened, and particularly to be darkened due to drinking wine. Adjective חכלילי (haklili) means dull or darkened, and noun חכלילות (haklilut) means dullness or darkness. Both these words apply to eyes after drinking wine.

The root חנך (hanak) deals with the beginning of discernment, which is the beginning of wisdom: discernment via taste, which is the first discernment and thus mode of wisdom a baby learns (hence the many Biblical metaphors that equate wisdom with food or milk).

The noun חך (hek) means mouth as the seat of taste (the more common word for mouth, namely פה, peh, emphasizes the mouth as orifice). From the noun חך (hek) comes the verb חנך (hanak), to "mouth," i.e. to inaugurate, train or dedicate. Likewise, adjective חניך (hanik) means trained or experienced. Noun חנכה (hanukka) means dedication.

Noun חכה (hakka) describes a fishing hook, or a hook that grabs a prey's jaw, or rather a prey's sense of taste. Perhaps accidentally similar, but perhaps not, the verb חכה (haka) means to wait or await for, and particularly to wait for sustenance. Often this verb's object is the Creator, or the sustaining insight in the Laws of the Creator.

The particle ל (le) means to or onto and may describe a physical or mental motion toward or a behavioral effort, an evolutionary one or express determination or purpose. The name of this letter, lamed, describes a cattle prod or goad."

As with all the Midrash and the Mishnah and Gemara that result, they apply not just to one Jewish boy or man who wants to take a flying leap at a royal title but to all of them. The Nsh and his peer group have the most to gain by the restoration of the Kingdom of Israel so the Prophet pushes on them the most. Now we know the real reason this handbook was included in the Tanakh, to establish the position of the Nsh and explain his role.

The prophet serves a Persian King, one dedicated to science called Artaxerxes "join the kingdom together now without the means of heresy." He asks the king for a boon. The implications of this for him and the people of Israel are positively stupendous if the king says yes:

Artaxerxes Sends Nehemiah to Jerusalem

2 In the month of Nisan in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was brought for him, I took the wine and gave it to the king. I had not been sad in his presence before, 2 so the king asked me, “Why does your face look so sad when you are not ill? This can be nothing but sadness of heart.”

I was very much afraid, 3 but I said to the king, “May the king live forever! Why should my face not look sad when the city where my ancestors are buried lies in ruins, and its gates have been destroyed by fire?”

4 The king said to me, “What is it you want?”

Then I prayed to the God of heaven, 5 and I answered the king, “If it pleases the king and if your servant has found favor in his sight, let him send me to the city in Judah where my ancestors are buried so that I can rebuild it.”

The Values in Gematria are:

v. 1-2.  In the month of Nisan in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes wine was brought for him. Nisan means to set out; and the twentieth year is generally regarded as the right time to leave Egypt, one's parents' house.

If one is in foster care or is homeless, the twentieth year is a very big year. Nehemiah recognizes the Jewish people are homeless and does exactly what he is supposed to do and starts marshalling support to rebuild the House of God.

The wine the Nsh brings means is well versed in the law and its means knows far more than why we must rebuild the Temple but everything about it. He knows it past, present, and future what we shall call the Wine Cycle going forward.

The Number is 11015, איי״ה‎ ‎, "the Island of the Falcons."

Now you know, the presence of nine million Jews in the very place our most ancient written documents state they should be is very disturbing but be strong!

As for the Jewish people themselves, the Torah and this script in the Tanakh says from the desolation of the past, the Cupbearer must be found and he must organize an effort to rebuild border security and the equity in the legends of the Jewish people. Stop fucking around, kill our enemies, draft the documents and get it done.

Falcons don't wait, they hunt, they eat, they fly again or they die. The Kingdom of Israel has not been hunting, it has been hunted and it shows.

v. 3-4: Why should my face not look sad? Sadness is forbidden. The Number is 14466,ידדון yaddon, "we will discuss how to use the hand of God to rebuild the social structures."

"The word 'adon refers to the authoritative foundation of social structures (groups, or individuals relative to society). It is closely related to another, very common, word meaning foundation or junction, but one made by man rather than God."

v. 5: I answered the King. For this we need to revisit the Kabbalah tree. The most important state of being is called Chesed, kindness. This is the foundation of all of our social structures. If one does not sense kindness radiating from the acts of the government then it is, according to the Tanakh failing to do as God instructed and this must be addressed immediately.

But all of the Sefirot on the Tree are vital, and anyone seeking the seat of power must light them all or he should not bear the cup or wear a crown:

The names of the ten Sefirot are:

Chochmah - wisdom, Binah - understanding, Daat - knowledge, Chessed - kindness, Gevurah - strength, Tiferet - beauty, Netzach - victory, Hod - splendor, Yesod - foundation, and Malchut - kingship.

The Foundation of the Kingdom is based on these principals. One can be immoral and be quite kind, so we need laws and rules, but without the proper temperament, the rules will not be observed.

So a Nsh must know how badly he wants to be tempered on his way to Jerusalem to organize the rise of the New Temple. For some reason we think this means we want to put the lad in chastity and bind his feet. Please revisit the comments above if that is a retained belief.

The Number is 11433, יא‎דג‎‎ג‎, yadgg, "you must know the rooftop highlights."

Why Harfoots Don't Make Any Sense (and thus I hate them)

(I originally wrote this as a reply/reblog to another post before posting it here)

I don't hate the Harfoots in RoP because of the actors who play them, I hate them because they make no sense. Allow me to elaborate on what I mean by that.

1. Harfoots are supposed to be nomads but their behaviour and lifestyle are contradictory to this. Nomads would not dress the way Harfoots do because nomad clothing has to offer protection/travelling durability. Most nomads would not have written knowledge on paper but would have either oral lore which were memorised or records on things such as wood, animal bones or even weaving. Nomads also do not farm vegetables (which is something Hobbits are known for) although they do herd animals because veggies can't uproot themselves and continue growing on the road when the tribe moves (there is a such thing as nomadic farmers who have several areas they plant crops at. These type of farmers cycle through these areas in turn so the land will have sufficient time to rest/recover its nutrients but the Harfoots seem quite different). The show writers made the Harfoots nomads but didn't know how to make it so their descendants ended up being pipeweed loving farmers so they just said the Harfoots were nomads and left it at that. This is F-tier writing and effort on the show writers' part.  I find their portrayal of the Harfoots being 'nomads' laughable as my own Hakka Chinese ancestors were nomadic prior to becoming hillside farmers.

2. The Harfoot's physical appearances are vastly differing from one another despite being from one tribe. There is no in-show explanation for this. This wouldn't be an issue if the show writers had bothered to make the Harfoots consist of sub-tribes who roamed different territories and only met up as one big tribe during summer or winter time. The different environment that each sub-tribe were exposed to would cause the Harfoots as a whole to evolve into a people with a large range of skin/eye/hair colour. A perfectly logical explanation right? Too bad the show writers didn't give a rat's arse about logical explanations.

3. Harfoots having a large role in RoP breaks Tolkien's lore. Hobbits (in this case their ancestors) did not do anything noteworthy during this Age and merely kept to themselves. I don't know about you but dealing with a meteor who turned out to be a man with magic powers that other people saw fall from the sky seems pretty attention attracting to me. The show-writers could have written in a Harfoot who, either because they were exiled or got accidentally seperated from the rest of the tribe, is forced to venture out into the world alone. People would mistake them for a human or dwarf child and the Harfoot, not wanting to expose/endanger their tribe, would just roll along with this mistaken assumption and it's only when they come across someone they trust do they reveal they are a Harfoot. All of this could happen without breaking Tolkien's beautifully crafted narrative. Alas, the show writers couldn't be bothered to read his books so they just went 'screw canon!' and wrote whatever they wanted.

4. Harfoots shouldn't be called Harfoots as the Harfoots are actually a type of Hobbit (the other two were the Stoors and Fallohides). As RoP took place before the Third Age and before the Rohirrim befriended them it's entirely possible they had an entirely different race name or none at all (as in they just consider themselves Regular-sized Folk, and men and elves as Big Folk). The show writers could have invented an entirely new name for Hobbits and actually justify their decision to do so. Instead, they chose Harfoot, the name of one type of Hobbit, and claimed that Harfoots were the ancestors of all Hobbits.

TLDR; Amazon didn't put any real effort or thought in making the Harfoots a believable people which is why the Harfoots suck and I don't like them.

What if in the explosion the brothers got separated?

This is a villain turtle au- if you don’t want to read it you can scroll past! I know it’s a cliche concept but it was fun! And I like doing my own spin on things.

(Note in this au when they’re mutated they are a little older, young kids, as this idea wouldn’t work if they weren’t SEMI competent. They’re still 13, 14, and 15 in modern times, but when they’re first mutated Mikey is 3, Leo and Donnie are 4, and Raph is 5)

Donnie: got scooped up by Draxum in the end, and works as his assistant first, son second. He has a similar position to Foot Recruit; despite being fully capable of actually being useful, he is treated with little respect and does mundane tasks like running errands and fixing random, broken objects. He is trained constantly but is told over and over again that he is “not good enough” yet. Despite this he puts his heart into everything he does. Broken clock? Sure he’ll fix it and it’s got LAZERS now! This causes him to accidentally make problems, and Draxum thinks that Donnie is “a complete and udder fool” which is further from the truth. Villain Donnie is a lot like canon Donnie personality wise but a bit more serious. He does not approve of Draxum’s use of mystic powers, and resents using them himself. He refuses the axe Draxum tries to give him. Draxum has little regard for what Donnie thinks and does, and therefore has an awful relationship with him. And yknow Donnie’s abandonment and self-worth issues? Yeah crank that up to 11. Basically Donnie hates Draxum and the Mystic City, and the Shredder going rouge is the last straw. “WATCH ME! ILL WIPE OUT THE HUMAN THREAT WITHOUT YOUR STUPID MAGIC! YOU HEAR ME BARON DRAXUM- I DEFY YOU!”

Leo: made his way to New York via Senior Hueso. Originally I was going to have him raised by Hueso but then realized it wouldn’t make a lot of sense- so Senior Hueso picks baby Leo up off the streets but ever the wanderer Leo walks right through the GIANT PORTAL IN THE WALL. From there Foot Brute, attempting and failing to find members for the clan, picks up this tiny, promising turtle off the street. “What is that thing?” “I dunno but he’s cute- and we’re in need of members” “That is an actual child” “so?” And then Leo is raised by his two dad- I mean sensei. I put raised lightly. He was treated better than Donnie but he was never given a lot of attention, and therefore turned to causing trouble to get attention. And not just from his dads, from anyone he can. Causing mischief in the city actually helped him in his training, as he became very skilled at sneaking, fighting, and stealing. He butts heads with Foot Recruit a lot because of his constant need for approval and attention. She finds him genuinely annoying while he just views it as “playful teasing.” That comes back to bite him the butt upon meeting Donnie, who comes along to help make form the Shredder armor, but he does not want to be there. Forced to work together, Donnie gets sick of Leo’s crap real fast but they don’t really hate each other, but in the moment they needed to play it off like they did and therefore gave the impression to the other that they DID hate them. Confusing, I know. Draxum tries and fails on multiple occasions to nab Leo but if he does he realizes it’ll put a major dent in his plans. So he forbids Donnie to speak to Leo. But no one stops Leo from talking to him. But Donnie’s coldness and Leo’s cruel banter really doesn’t help them get along. The moment Shredder goes rogue and the Foot Clan collapses, Leo flees in fear. “What if” this and “what if” that but mostly because he tried to take out Shredder and ruined his clan name. But even on the street, Leo remains the same annoying, much more cruel and dark humored mutant.

Mikey: Got scooped up by the Mud Dogs and taken to Big Mama, dragging only Lou’s glasses with him since even as a toddler he picked up anything shiny he saw. I plan to draw the interaction between tiny Mikey and the Dogs (and how Mikey got his name in this au) but that’s a surprise. Anyways pretty quickly he got entered in the Battle Nexus. Think about the appeal that fight would have! Just a couple years of training and then bam! “Introducing Hakka-gu! Our youngest fighter ever- only 8 years old!” And having natural talent and capabilities he was an instant hit. And he wasn’t treated horribly, after all Big Mama couldn’t risk one of her most profitable champions running away. But he is still treated as nothing but that- a profit, a marketable product. No one calls him his real name anymore, no one cares about him, just his capabilities. When he gets injured it isnt “are you okay?” It’s “is your body okay?” And sometimes he’s treated like an idiot- especially by Big Mama. He was never taught language and has very botched speaking patterns because “intelligence isnt important for a champion.” Well eventually he has enough of that, and through a bloodbath, he is able to escape to New York. Now he’ll get respect- he’ll make them respect him. But he gets quickly spotted by the Foot Clan and Draxum, as he’s in the way. Upon finding out about the plans to wipe out humans, he knows he has to stop them. Who can respect him if THESE GUYS wanna take over the world? He’s not getting mistreated again. But when the Shredder goes rogue he panics- he cant stop it but... he knows who can. He goes crawling back to Big Mama and strikes a deal. A better champion. Better than him. And she takes it, although in the end she makes some... alterations to the deal. But this doesn’t stop his quest for respect, and he ultimately heads back to New York.

Raph: Savage! He’s alone, a young child who doesn’t know where to go. He panics, and rampages all the way to New York. After a good, long, temper-tantrum, he finds himself in an alleyway, climbing into a sewer. And there he eats rats, he sets up a not-so-homely-home for himself. He flashes in and out of his anger, but he is almost always emotional and looking for some sort of control in his life. He gets that through rampages, causing destruction in any way he can. Usually he doesn’t make TOO much of a mess but he’s brought down a few buildings in his time. Eventually, upon seeing a rampaging demon-armor in the streets and seeing 2 figures trying to stop it (at this point Mikey is getting Big Mama) he realizes there are others out there like him. And then begins a struggle for control not over the world, but over himself too. There are times he gains control and although lonely, he knows he must learn. He learns English in flickers, and it isn’t perfect, but he can communicate. He can talk to them. Now he just needs to stop hurting them.

Extra notes:

In this au the only one with their weapon is Donnie. Mikey and Leo are skilled with the weapons they have in canon (the Ōdachi and Kusari-fundo) but they do not have mystic powers. Raph is... well... Raph. He can’t fight with weapons well but he can pack a punch.

Mikey is still a chef and artist, taking a liking to the ability to create, but just like with everything else he “needs to focus on his fights” so he can’t have interests. A kid like Mikey HATES this and any time he can he sneaks away to bake and draw. Usually this is at 2 am.

Leo has anxiety. The minute something not in the plan happens, or a loud noise, or having to talk to someone without a script, he goes into fight-or-flight mode. He often finds that the answer is to fight.

Raph is not necessarily evil- he is an antagonist but he is not evil. He simply has no control and lashes out at everything. That’s why he stays in the sewers. Nothing down there’s moves other than rats, bugs, and the water. But he has to get violent urges out some how.

April is a reporter-in-training in the au, as she never met the turtles until after the Shredder incident. She’s immediately interested in it, as she is everything “supernatural” and she gets dangerously close to some of their fights. I don’t know how they meet yet or if she becomes friends with any of them.

After the Shredder incident, the only thing stopping each turtle from destroying New York is each other. Seriously. They keep getting in each other’s ways because “I want to take over the world, not THEM!”

They all have certain villain stereotypes. Donnie is sort of a mad scientist, Leo is a teasing, monologging villain, Mikey acts like a nut case but has a certain intelligence to him, and Raph appears as a total destroyer.

In the end they get redeemed and find out they’re family, but it takes a while. Mikey is the one to hunt down Draxum, while Leo stalks him. Upon finding this out, having 3 out of 4 looking for each other, they find each other pretty fast. And there’s a big dramatic apology scene with all 3 of them, and at first Donnie thinks they’re conspiring against him and ambushes them but is only met with three harmless turtles who refuse to fight him. They tell him what the deal is and Donnie is shocked. And then he’s pissed. “WHY DIDNT DRAXUM TELL ME!? YOURE LYING! LIARS! NO!” In the end he realizes the truth, but it takes a little “talk” with Draxum. And then Donnie nearly commits murder. Don’t worry they stop him. But there’s no Draxum redemption arc because Donnie would continuously try to commit a felony. April is also somewhere in there and like gives the brothers goodness lessons but idk where that fits in I’m still working this out shajajajajaj

Heyyy love!! Please hold me back I'm gonna fight your pillow >:( tho I am glad you're better. It's good that the pill and water helped :) cheese and Netflix sounds so good right now, what are you watching?

I really understand that, at least you'll get to celebrate it with more people, and that's already such fun. I also had a thought. When new year's eve finally rolls around, Malaysia will be in 2021 two hours earlier than Kazakhstan. I'll be sure to message you during that time period, 😝😝 aaaah that'd be so cool, dont you think?

Omg that is really cool, so it's like adding oc's in the storyline!!! 😣 Kouki Yoshido and Aito Okada sound cool, I already like their positions 🤚😼 and that requires a lot of planning, I'm sure it'll keep you guys busy (in the best way possible, because it's also fun to work on stuff with your friends) tho noooo, please don't say that, I love hearing you talk about stuff, and something you're passionate about like this? Yes please my heart is MELTING 😣💖 makes me love you all the more (which I didn't think was possible ;-;)

omg then you'd love a dish we have here!! I had it earlier, which is why I asked you that question. it's called "pan mee" and it's like, SPICY noodles, with dry chili, pickles, egg, and minced meat and it's so good 😭😭 (and yes I ate it for lunch! Proud for not skipping today xD) tho yes since it's both spicy, and noodles, I think you'd like it. It's a dish native to the Hakka Chinese, and since my grandma was Hakka, she loved it too. Just googled plov. It looks epic :>

aw that cafe sounds wonderful. I really hope you'll someday find it again, and be able to try the green tea :) tho I totally agree with what you've said about pizzas and quiches 😣😣 they finish wayy too fast and before you know it, the whole pizza is gone :<

ahhh Molly sounds like such an adorable name, you must've had a great time with the parrot. (He sounded like such a darling...) It's a shame :( I'm sorry to hear that >:(((

omg that logo was so pretty! The blues 😍😍😍 Here's ours... It's transparent too, so I hope you can see it xD (Leo stands for "leadership, experience, opportunity" which is lame ik😣 but oh well— we're basically a social service club with a whole lot of protocol)

AHH yes Rowling just makes all potterheads look bad. I loved the series ever since I was really young, and I've read the books multiple times, but the author as a person?? Nope. 🙀 I also had a project presentation earlier, and I'm v sure I screwed it up but uh nevermind 😭😣😣😣😣

That gif nooooo skjdksks too cute. And omg what you smile when you think of me? Combusting rn, that's so sweet I'm flustered

I love you so much :)

—Ari

Helloo!!

Ahah, sunshine, would a hug hold you back?^^" Please dont fight my pillow, its ruined as it is now hehe~ really though, the kids messed it up so bad😩

I'm watching Alice in the Borderland, you might've seen Kuro watching that in his stories too, (I checked the name in google and apparently it's also a manga😳 might read it later) It's pretty cool, I only watched two episodes but it's already awesome. It's a good watch, though theres blood and death and sexual scenes, so be careful~

I didnt even think about that, haha! I'm looking forward to it♡^з^ I'm sure itll be amazing!!

I'm really glad you think so, surprisingly those two are my most treasured children😩 even though I wasn't the one to create them XD still I think they're nice little kids. I'm hoping we finish the team soon so I could show you each of them😭

Ehhh I'm glad to hear that~ Its the only passion I have at the moment, and ... did I say that already??? I think I did. Or??? Either way, its really dear to me, and tbh if Liza wasn't busy we'd probably finish it all a lot quicker:( I feel bad cuz shes got a strict mom, but when we're on call they seem to have a pretty good relationship aside from when they're commanding her, so I guess it's not as bad as I thought. Still, she's busy, and barely finds time and place to draw.

Sorry, I'm gonna carry on about Liza for a little bit, because I'm really proud of how shes becoming lately--- I moved out of town a few years ago, maybe three or something, and to be honest I haven't really expected her to improve so much?? It's still got a few problems, but to be honest, the first time I saw her drawing I almost cried because I felt so proud, as I was the one to actually help her with the basics. I guess that's what being friends with artists does to you, but still I got really emotional when I first saw her improvements XD

Oh my god, SPICY NOODLES?? PICKLES????? EGGS????? MINCED MEAT???? SIGN ME THE HELL UP I AM ON MY WAYYYY I am definitely cooking you some plov and I really hope you like it😭😩

I hope so too!! ~and it especially sucks when you're in a big family, Kuro's been crying about how he got one slice of pizza when the kids ate everything every time💀 makes me wanna adopt him even more tbh JSHDJSJD

He was!! That month was hard because my dog also died, I miss them all so much🥺

OH it looks so good!!! The abbreviation (is that the word😭) is really cool too?? I love the lions hehe, big hairy cats go grrr

True true true, I absolutely can't stress enough how much struggle it is when the author is a bad person. I've been listening to a group, but the leader is an abusive/manipulative prick apparently, so the songs are like a guilty pleasure. I literally cant stop listening to them cuz their songs are the most relatable thing I've ever heard, but yet, it's sad to see that the one who wrote them is not a good person :<

Oh, I'm sure you didnt? I dont know the details though, but even if you did, please dont worry!! I'm sure you got the point through, and that's what's important:) No one can do everything perfectly, so dont stress about it<3

Hehehhe, no way, you're cuter😠❤❤ of course I do, your messages are one of the main sources of serotonin for me😝💞

I love you too!! Hope you're doing good<3

Natsume Yuujinchou: “Village of the Sleeping Vessel (Part 1)” Summary (Chapter 100)

To you, we send our gratefulness that cannot be conveyed even with a 100 “Thank Yous”———…

After so many years, we have finally arrived at the 100th chapter! What’s perhaps most interesting is that this will be a multi-part arc that will have 4 or more parts!

If you’re curious about why we know this: the chapter title was written with a “Part 1” rather than the “Front Part” pattern that Midorikawa-sensei usually utilises. The “Front Part” pattern will allow up to a maximum of 3 parts (“Front Part”, “Middle Part”, “Back Part”), so if that pattern isn’t being used here, it basically means that we will have more than 3 parts for this arc!

(There were some people who said that it might have 5 parts, but I haven’t found a reliable source for that yet, so please take it with a grain of salt.)

TL Note: The word that I translated as “Vessel” is actually “Yorishiro”, which are objects that attract Shinto gods and allow them to house themselves in it. This is usually used in the series to refer to vessels that youkai use, with Nyanko-sensei’s fortune cat form being an example (so in the context of the series, it does not necessarily need to be a god being housed in there).There’s no English equivalent so I went with something that seemed to fit.

Special thanks to Jessica for proofreading this as always~

Chapter 100:  “Village of the Sleeping Vessel” (Part 1)

As paper seals flutter around him, Natori successfully exorcises a youkai. The client invites him into his house, commending his abilities.

Matsuzaki: My my… Well done, well done! As expected of you, Natori-kun. I really owe it to you this time. I’m sorry that my house is so cluttered. Please, take a seat. Natori: …… As always, you have a lot of interesting things, Matsuzaki-san. Matsuzaki: What, these are just junk. By the way—— We will certainly have many chances to hire you again in the future. I’ve heard that you’ve been frequenting the Yorishima house recently…… You should really stop relying on that suspicious retiree. With power such as yours, if you’d like, my family could provide you with support.

Natori: Haha, I’m grateful for your offer, but——…

Natori freezes, noticing something behind the man.

Matsuzaki: Well, don’t say that………… ——…… ———— Is something the matter? Natori: ——— No…

Leaving the house, Natori’s shiki surround him.

Sasago: ——Are you sure that’s fine, Master? Matsuzaki is a distinguished family that may be beneficial for many things. Urihime: That offer of his was unprecedented, so perhaps…

However, Natori pays little heed to their words.

Natori: Did you guys see that? Shiki: ———— Huh……?

Natori: That thing in his house——…… ———— I think…… I have seen that before, somewhere… ——… *shudder…* ———If I’m not wrong…… That was———……

Meanwhile, Natsume and Nyanko-sensei are on their way home. In Natsume’s hand is a bag of cookies he had just purchased.

Nyanko: Hah~~~ Those cookies were just like jewels! I’m looking forward to eating them, Natsume! Natsume: Yeah. It’s from a famous stall that you can only find in the city, and they were opening up the booth here for a limited time only, so I figured we might never have another chance to get it again……

It turns out that Nyanko-sensei had ambushed him on his way home to buy those cookies. Touko had showed Nyanko-sensei the flyer for them, and had remarked to him about how beautiful and delicious those cookies looked.

Nyanko: Be grateful, Natsume! I gave you information about something that can make Touko happy. Natsume: I hope you didn’t tell me that just because you wanted to eat them yourself, Sensei. Nyanko: WHAT!?

It was a normal, peaceful day, just like any other.

Halfway through the stroll, Nyanko-sensei notices something, and tells Natsume to head home by himself (but not before reminding him to save some cookies for him). Nyanko-sensei leaps out of his arms towards a fallen tree before Natsume could even say anything.

Natsume: Sensei, where are you going? …… Nyanko: *THUD* Natsume: Pft! Are you alright, Sensei? You slammed into the tree, huh? Well, I’m going to head home first, alright—?

Touko is extremely delighted by the cookies, thanking Natsume for getting them.

Natsume: ——That’s great. Nyanko-sen……… ……There was someone who told me that these cookies would make you happy……… Touko: My my, is that so? That makes me so happy! Let’s eat them right away!

Natsume had the cookies with his guardians that night. But Nyanko-sensei never returned.

The next day at school, Natsume wonders where Nyanko-sensei could have gone, and becomes curious of the broken tree he had seen the previous day. Right when he had parted ways with Nyanko-sensei, Natsume had felt something from the tree…

Tanuma: Natsume! Natsume: Tanuma! …What is it? You look like you’re in high spirits. Tanuma: Yeah! Actually, I picked up something interesting. Natsume: Something interesting?

Tanuma shows it to him.

Natsume: ——… A piece of a teacup? Tanuma: I might have been exaggerating a little when I said it was interesting, but doesn’t it remind you of something? Natsume: Huh? Hmm……… …… Tanuma: ——Yesterday, I was out walking with my father when I came across a bunch of birds pecking at something in the grass. I took a peek, and found this piece of pottery there. Natsume: In the grass?

Tanuma: Well, it’s just a broken piece of a teacup, but look. This gray color… Doesn’t it look like his? Even this tiny bit of orange here too. Somehow, it looks just like Nyanko-sensei’s appearance. Natsume: ——Huh……

The tree in that grassy plain. The sound of Nyanko-sensei knocking into it comes back to Natsume.

Natsume: UWAH!? Tanuma: Wah!? W-What’s wrong, Natsume………? Natsume: ——Er, nothing…… (——Huh…? Now that I think about it, isn’t the fortune cat that Sensei uses as his vessel a piece of pottery…?) ——No… (It can’t be. Something like that is…)

Natsume attempts to calm himself, and asks Tanuma where exactly he had found the fragment. Tanuma cheerfully responds that it was at the grass plains where the old tree, which had snapped during a typhoon, stood.

Tanuma: ——Hey, Natsume!? You’re turning pale!! Natsume: ———Tanuma…… Please don’t laugh when I say this…… Tanuma: Huh? Natsume: I don’t think it’s possible, but…… What should I do if this is a piece of Nyanko-sensei……? Tanuma: HUH!?

Natsume and Tanuma head to the plains with the broken tree, but Tanuma seems unconvinced that Nyanko-sensei might have smashed into pieces.

Tanuma: ——No, wait, Natsume. Sensei has met many different collisions until now. Natsume: … Tanuma: All he did was bump into the tree, right? (With a thud.) Natsume: Yeah…… And it’s also normal for him not to return home for a while. ——But this fragment… It gives me a strange feeling, but… That feeling is… just like Sensei…

[The fact that two of the three examples given are just Natsume punching him cracks me up so much lmao]

Natsume: (It has the same presence as Sensei——)

[Seeing Natsume freak out like this is not good for my heart ;-;]

Tanuma: ——I get it. First, you have to calm down, Natsume. If something did happen to Sensei, then we have to stay strong. Natsume: *breathe…* You’re right. Thank you, Tanuma.

[Yes, THANK YOU TANUMA. YOU ARE THE WORLD’S BEST BOYFRIEND.]

Natsume calmly looks over the fragment again, realizing how he got strangely agitated when he touched it. Meanwhile, how does this explain Nyanko-sensei’s reluctance to return home? Could he be injured to the point where he is unable to move? Or because it would be bad to be seen with a broken body, so he refuses to return?

Tanuma: I’m not sure if this is related, but there’s another reason why I said that fragment was interesting. Natsume: ? Tanuma: Since I was little, I would often visit exhibitions with my father, who loved pottery———

Tanuma: While I was looking at the many pottery that potters and craftsmen had brought, among them was a piece of pottery that looked like it was glowing when I stared at it for a while. It had a fiber-like design which looked like blood vessels or branches. I told my father and other people about it, but it seemed I was the only one who could see it. The only pottery that had that blood-vessel-like design were called “Hakka* Pottery”. Natsume: Hakka Pottery…? Tanuma: Yeah. It’s a product made in a certain pottery village and is no longer circulated on the market. Now, it’s even called a phantom item. That’s why I’ve never had the chance to set my eyes on that blood-vessel-like design until recently….. But, I can see it in this. This fragment might have been made in the Hakka Pottery village.

[I’m not sure if I should translate “Hakka” literally or keep it as Romaji, as “Hakka” could very well be the family name of the potters creating it. So until this is confirmed, I will keep it as “Hakka”. Anyways, “Hakka” is literally translated as “White Mist”, so it plays into the whole “phantom pottery” thing.]

[Also, Chibi-Tanuma is precious.]

Natsume continues to discuss it with Tanuma, and decides to wait until the following morning to see if Nyanko-sensei would return. But should he not do so…

That night, Natsume has a dream of a dark space. And within it… is Nyanko-sensei.

Natsume: (——… Nyanko-sen…… ……There’s a piece missing on his back……) Nyanko?: *lick lick lick…* Natsume: (A light…?) Nyanko?: *dash!* Natsume: (!! Wait, Sensei! Where are you going? Sensei!! ——Just what is that light…?)

The light is from a small opening, made of bricks. Nyanko-sensei (?) stands right at its entrance.

Natsume: (Is that——… ———a kiln———?)

Natsume wakes up. It is morning, but Nyanko-sensei is still nowhere to be seen. That dream he had last night… Was it something that the fragment had showed him?

Wishing to find anything out about Nyanko-sensei, Natsume makes a call to Tanuma to find out the exact location of the pottery village. After taking Touko’s lunch box, Natsume takes a train towards Homura* District, where the village is said to be. He holds the fragment in his grasp as the train chugs along. [“Homura” is literally “village of light”.]

Natsume: Sensei… (Is Sensei actually at the Hakka Pottery village? Or am I just thinking too much? Maybe we have just missed each other, and he would return all of a sudden and finish up his cookies——?)

After getting off at the station, Natsume has to take a bus into the mountains, then walk a significant amount, cross a bridge, before he finally arrives at Homura, where the village is. 

But inside the wide forest, all Natsume could find are abandoned buildings among overgrown weeds. According to Tanuma, there’s only one Hakka kiln left in Homura, and even the potter himself is alone.

As Natsume continues walking, he notices something among the trees. Somehow… it feels like something is watching him.

Then… Between the trees, appears a familiar figure.

Natsume: !! (Just now!) Sensei!? Is that you, Nyanko-sensei!? Wait a minute, Sen-......... Nyanko: You’re being noisy.

Nyanko: What are you getting so noisy for? Natsume: …… Nya- Nyanko-sensei!?

Natsume: ——How the heck did you end up in my bag, Sensei!? Since when did you…… Just where did you go!? Nyanko: Hey, you’re noisy!! I was just dealing with some minor business! It’s normal for me not to come home in a while! Natsume: Ugh… Nyanko: Then, when I came back this morning, it turned out that you were getting ready to head out somewhere, hence I decided to come along like this. Natsume: ———…… …………… …I guess that means you didn’t break, Sensei? Nyanko: Break? I’m with my perfect body as usual.

Natsume heaves a sigh of relief. He shows the fragment to Nyanko-sensei, who reacts with a frown. Just then, they hear the sound of a door opening. They decide to follow it, and come across the Hakka workshop.

Inside sits a man.

Man: ——Oh? To think that such a young guest would come visit this rural kiln. Is there something you need? Nyanko: …… Natsume: Ah, I’m sorry for peeking. Erm…… (This man is… The phantom Hakka Pottery’s——…)

But since Nyanko-sensei has already returned, Natsume doesn’t really have anything to ask about. He figures that he could ask more about the broken fragment as a souvenir for Tanuma. But upon taking out that piece—

Man: Oh. What an interesting item you have there. That was something that was made here. Meanwhile…

Man: Is that cat… yours*? Natsume: ———Huh?

[You can also read this to mean “Who is that cat to you?”, or basically “What is your relationship with that cat?” But I’m keeping it more literal for now.]

Another man bursts through the door.

Potter: Hey! What are you doing here? I thought I told you to leave! Natsume: Huh!? Man: Ah, hello. Since I’ve already carried myself on foot to such a remote place, I figured I should at least take a look at one of them.

Natsume: (So this is the potter. Then who is the one standing next to me………?) Potter: We don’t have anything here besides pottery. There’s nothing here that a collector like you would be interested in. Natsume: ———A collector… Man: It’s true that there’s nothing special inside this warehouse. But it seems like there are interesting things outside of it. Besides…

Man: I also want that, which you have.

Gas begins leaking from the box in his hand. Natsume, relying on his instincts, dashes from the house while excusing himself.

Man: ———Haha. What a sharp boy.

The smoke surrounds the potter, and he collapses.

Natsume: ——I instinctively started running away… But is that alright? ——Those people… (Just what was that collector guy talking about……?) Nyanko: That man was pretty eerie. Natsume: Is he… an ayakashi? Nyanko: No, I suspect he’s a human. However… His presence was just like that of a doll’s…… ——Hm? Natsume? Natsume: *sway*

Nyanko: Natsume!? Man: (I also want that, which you have.)

The man walks into the woods with a giant human-shaped case upon his shoulder. Opening it… reveals several wooden dolls. They begin to move upon his command.

Man: Now then, all of you. Go on.

In the darkness, Natsume hears two voices conversing.

Nyanko: ——And so? Who was that man? Natsume: (——Ah, ……this is Sensei’s voice. Sensei is here…) ?: He is someone you shouldn’t get involved with. Natsume: (——Huh?) Nyanko: Hmph! Whatever it is, I’m tired of waiting. A spell like that, I could just blow it away without breaking a sweat! ?: Stop it. It’s disadvantageous for an ayakashi. Natsume: (This voice is……) ?: Besides, I’m sure Sasago has made it through them and passed the message. Natori will come over and help soon. Until then, we should stay quiet and remain here——— Natsume: (Huh? Natori-san is——…?)

Hiiragi: Are you awake, Natsume? Natsume: ! Hiiragi!? Hiiragi: Because you were quick to escape, it seems like you didn’t inhale too much of the smoke. Natsume: Smoke…? Just what is going on…? Why are you—— Besides, where is this………? Hiiragi: We are in a cavern outside the village. It’s been about an hour since we’ve carried you here after you’ve collapsed. We’ve managed to hold out until now, but… that started, so now we are surrounded and cannot move.

Natsume: “That” started……? 

Hiiragi looks out of the cavern towards the sky… where numerous human-shaped figures are flying about in circles.

Hiirage: That. Natsume: (People are…… flying…?)

Doll: *glance* Hiiragi: ! They’ve noticed us! They’re coming! Natsume: !? Nyanko: *leap* Hmph! I can handle something like that…… 

Nyanko: *stiffen!* Hm!? I can’t move my body… Natsume: Huh!? UWAAAH!

Natsume: Look out…!

Natsume: ! Natori-sa… Matoba: ——My, that was dangerous, Natsume-kun.

{ heavy number of screenshots because it aids but also i’m biased }

Takaomi: Hakka, can you replay the events of that time through the Yume Mic? You should be able to recall it more calmly. 

Shigure: Understood. 

// I hand Hakka-senpai the Mic, and the scene of Maki-senpai and I entering the room appears- // 

[memory] 

Senri: EHHHHH?! Why are you raising your legs? 

Chizuru: If you don’t get down, I’ll trample over you.  

Senri: Gyowaaaaaa?! 

Minato: Wow. 

[stage] 

Takaomi: Pause it, take a good look. 

Senri: Ah?! 

Yuma: It’s not a swarm of Killer Bees.  

Shion: ...Honey Bees. 

Takaomi: Shibasaki, were there any stingers left on Maki’s wounds? 

Shinya: As I’ve answered you before coming here, there were stingers left behind and I removed them. 

Senri: Stinger…? 

Takaomi: Leaving their stingers behind after stinging is a characteristic of Honey Bees. After I heard this from Shibasaki, I was able to confirm the movement of Honey Bees. 

Senri: ( I thought this guy shirked off but he even went to ask Shibasaki-senpai such things… ) 

Yanagi: By the way, the sudden influx must have been because they migrated, right? Why did the Honey Bees leave the greenhouse when it was such an ideal environment for them? 

Takaomi: Not after the hole appeared, since the neighbouring Hornets are their natural predators. 

Touji: What do you imply? 

Shion: … Even though they are both bees, you mean to say they attack each other? 

Takaomi: To the carnivorous Hornets both fully grown Honey Bees and their larvae are grub, so a populated nest would be the perfect hunting ground for them. 

Shion: Poor Honey Bees, Hornets are the worst. 

Takaomi: After losing their nest, the Honey Bees sent out some scouting bees to look for a new place. Once the scout found somewhere good, they were to call the rest of their group. 

Yanagi: Did I accidentally bring one of those back? 

Takaomi: That’s not exactly it. Hakka, rewind the scene. 

Shigure: How far back? 

Takaomi: Right when the stupid rabbit enters. 

Shigure: Understood. 

[memory]  

Chizuru: Kasuka, I’m coming in. 

Minato: Huh? Chizu and Senri. 

Shigure: What a rare combination.

[stage] 

Senri: AH! 

Shinya: Huh? What? What’s going on? 

Takaomi: Sharp eyes, at least you’re good at something, stupid rabbit. Look closely at Ushiwaka. 

[memory] 

Minato: You see, Shigure was tutoring me. Do Senri and Chizu want to study too? 

[stage] 

Yuma & Touji: Oh…! 

Minato: Wow~ There’s a little Mr Honey Bee on the flower on my head. 

Mikage: You’re kidding, you mean you didn’t realise? 

Minato: Not at all~ 

Shinya: You didn’t realise either, Shigure? 

Shigure: To be honest, I didn’t really pay attention to Ushiwaka’s flowers. 

Takaomi: So basically, the culprit who led the bees in is basically Ushiwaka. 

Takaomi: The greenhouse, strawberries, Honey Bees, bee nests, the hole in the wall, Hornets, the vacated nest, the scout. That’s how the invasion happened. There you have it, the truth. 

Takaomi: Now don’t distort it again. 

// There was silence in the dream. // 

Senri: ( A-amaz… ) 

Touji: Shishimaru-kun! I was touched! Wasn’t that a gallant figure! 

Yuma: Great detective. 

Jin: No, not yet. 

Takaomi: ….. 

Jin: There is yet more contradictions and mysteries afoot. 

Senri: Huh? 

Jin: For there to be that many bees, even if they had intruded into the dorm, they shouldn’t have been able to survive. 

Takaomi: They had an environment to thrive. The air vents in Ushiwaka’s room is connected to the store room, and there’s a huge number of flowers there, meaning they were all set in terms of nectar. 

Senri: ! ! 

Takaomi: Yeah that’s right stupid rabbit, I’m talking about that ridiculously gigantic Flower Stand you merrily brought back! 

Senri: ( Stop! If you say my name at a time like this then I’ll sound like the true culprit! I’ll become the Last Boss! ) 

Senri: Bu-but still! The flowers had already wilted a long time ago, right, Yumapi? 

Yuma: Hmm… Based on their condition, I don’t think they would have produced any nectar… Besides, when I went into the storeroom to take the cardboard, I don’t think I encountered any bees. 

Takaomi: Here. 

// Shishimaru presented something on his palm. // 

Mikage: Remote controller? 

Shigure: That’s the one for aircons in the dorm, right? 

Takaomi: Yuma, yesterday you said the electricity was being wasted leaving the air con on, didn’t you? 

Yuma: Yeah, it was a waste so I turned it off. 

Takaomi: The room had cooled significantly. Honey Bees become inactive in low temperatures, so they reverted to hibernatory state. By the way, they aren’t active at night either. 

Yanagi: Oh so that’s why I never saw any either. 

Yuma: Either? 

Yanagi: Sometimes I use the Black Dorm storeroom as a rendezvous spot with some Kitties, but I never saw any bees either. 

Yuma: Then, the one who left the air con running was you…? 

Yanagi: Yup, probably. I likely forgot. 

Takaomi: Meaning this case, just as the stupid rabbit said, has multiple culprits. 

Takaomi: Hanabusa who cultivated strawberries and left the air con in the storeroom on. 

Yanagi: Haha, sorry. 

Takaomi: Shibutani who released Honey Bees to help with the cultivation on his own accord and then didn’t do a good job keeping them in check. 

Kasuka: I just wanted Yanagi-kun to be able to eat delicious strawberries… 

Takaomi: And why was there a hole to begin with, huh, bastard with the poor hand-eye coordination? 

Shinya: I’m sorry, I will reflect on my actions. 

Takaomi: Don’t put flowers in your hair all willy nilly. 

Minato: Ahaha, next time I’ll give Takaomi some flowers too. 

Takaomi: Also, how could you not tell whether you were stung by Honey Bees or Hornets, make better judgement. 

Chizuru: Of course I know that. Whether Honey Bees or Hornets, they’re both enemies of Jin-san, they’re just objects to be eliminated. 

Takaomi: Not being able to differentiate that aspect really delayed the case. 

Jin: I see. You did well on your own.��

Takaomi: I wasn’t alone. 

Senri: ( ! Shishimaru is looking at me… ) 

Takaomi: Without the stupid rabbit’s actions, I would never have realised the fact about the greenhouse, or the two species of bees, or the storeroom. 

Minato: Meaning, it’s the birth of a detective couple~ ♪ 

Senri: Shishimaru! I also accept you as my partner- 

Takaomi: The most problematic person is you, idiot rabbit. 

Senri: He’s hot then he’s cold?! 

Takaomi: You were right that there’s more than one culprit. Yet, you knew about your own stupid Flower Stand but you tried to lie and cover it up. 

Senri: Oof! 

Takaomi: The mystery is solved. We know where the nest is, there’s no need for explosives. 

Jin: You’re right. That was some fine detective work, Shishimaru. 

Takaomi: I eat this much for breakfast. 

Senri: ( Why is only Shishimaru getting praised~? Even though I also worked hard~? ) 

// A few days after the end of the “Killer Bee Incident”. // 

[scene: lounge] 

Shion: This Honey Facial Pack is amazing. 

Shigure: The speed at which Ryuuou Corporation commodifies a product is truly fascinating. 

Shinya: I’d like something like Honey Handcream too. 

Mikage: Please consider: candy. 

Touji: If Mikekado-senpai attains any more beauty, surely world domination is not far out of his grasp.*

Yuma: chew chew Strawberry, delicious. Are you having any, Shishimaru? 

Takaomi: No way, but you sure can eat that all day, man. 

Minato: I found Takaomi~ You know, the girls really want to talk to you. 

Takaomi: Hah? 

Yanagi: You see, thanks to Great Detective Takaomi, the dorm is safe from blowing up so you’re the talk of the town. Must be tiring. 

Takaomi: Not interested. 

Minato: Hey, where’s Senri? 

Yuma: Nito is going through Dream Torture. 

Takaomi: That guy’s honestly such a helpless idiot. 

[scene change: dream] 

Senri: Aha, hyahaha! 

Chizuru: Remember, you’re not getting out of here until I hear a sincere apology from your mouth. 

Senri: I’m sorry! I just wanted to be popular, I won’t be so flippant about playing a High School Detective again! 

Chizuru: One more time, without laughing. 

Senri: That’s impossible! ! No, not there! Ahahahahaha! 

Senri: WAAAAAAAAAAA! I’M SORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY!

* i couldn’t think of a natural way to say this in english but here touji is jokingly accusing shion of aiming for world domination with his beauty

[skubean]

I currently got some serious brainrot thanks to the Valentines' streams so my request is cuddling headcanons for Magni, Altare, Flayon and Hakka (if that okay with you!)

ooooooo im losing my mind at this bcs valentine's got me going crayyyyzeeee and thank you for the request!! sorry it's probably past valentine's now but i hope this was fine <3

cuddling hcs w/ magni, altare, flayon and hakka (holotempus)

characters: magni dezmond, regis altare, machina x flayon, banzoin hakka

notes: def out of character, gender neutral reader, some use of pet names, just brainrot im so ueueueueu i love them, slightly suggestive

magni dezmond

magni cuddles you like he's protecting you from the world.

it would start off with him wrapping an arm around your neck and you're like squished in between.

it's not really uncomfortable, but you can sense a tinge of teasing when he does it because you're pretty much stuck.

"dez, i can't speak" "what's that, i can't hear you"

he likes having you in between him, so if you're sitting on the sofa, you're positioned to be in between his legs and his arms are just draped around you loosely.

if you're laying down and cuddling, he has a leg on top of you.

you'll never know why this guy is obsessed with having a limb trapping you, but it's fine either way skskks

he'd put a hand under your shirt bcs he's cold, but ends up spooking you with his cold hand, which eventually turns into some sort of war.

it's silly, but he's just stuck to you like glue. he likes how perfect you fit in his arms (or legs).

overall, pretty playful but also really protective, which is why he cuddles you so much no matter where you are.

regis altare

altare cuddles you like you were made to fit in his arms.

altare is really warm, so he's like your personal heater.

clingy bf #2, cuddles you so much, you're his personal pillow.

he's big spoon 24/7, just likes having you in his arms so much, it's like he's addicted.

the type to bury your face into his chest, so you could fall asleep to his heartbeat.

backhugs you a lot too, he likes kissing your neck, and he knows it gets a reaction out of you.

also really likes having you on his lap, with you facing him.

it feels intimate, just close enough to know that he's yours and you're his.

he lets you relax when you're cuddling him and would massage your arms or thighs to show that he's there with you.

very sweet, i can assure you. teeth rotting clingy to the core, just likes the closeness and intimacy between the both of you.

machina x flayon

flayon cuddles you like you're glass, so close to breaking but so tempting.

he's so careful when hugging you because you're so precious to him.

he likes being the small spoon, but on days he's the big spoon, he feels so happy, like proud happy.

small spoon bcs he's addicted to your warmth, it makes him feel safe and secure.

gives me kusogaki (brat) vibes, so i think he'd cuddle you whenever he wants.

sudden hugs in the middle of the hallway because he's cheeky like that.

also loves loves laying his head on your lap because you would always play with his hair, and he's like a cat!

he's careful as to not push it too much, but you always reassure him that you love him, and that being close to him makes you so warm inside.

he's so fucking cute im gonna sob, pls love this man immensely bcs he would kiss your forehead/the ends of your hair when you're sleeping.

definitely adorable 100%, uses his cuteness to win cuddles (works everytime)

banzoin hakka

hakka cuddles you like you're his most prized possession, his muse.

nuzzles his head between your head and neck because he's flirty like that.

he cuddles you like a baby, gentle and one hand on the back of your head.

he will always, 100%, without fail intertwine his hand with yours.

no he does not care if it gets sweaty, don't let go!

also loves laying on your chest just to hear your fast heartbeat.

i'm not over this but, jaw kisses, neck kisses, collarbone kisses, whatever he can reach in the area.

when you're the one initiating the hug, he'll have his arms at least somewhere around your body, just for that slight skin to skin affection sksksk

kisses your fingers a lot, it's like he's obsessed with your hands.

he is, he's obsessed with you.

how could someone be so loveable to him? he will never understand, but he knows that he would risk it all for you.

his lockscreen is a picture of you both cuddled up and it's his favourite picture ever.

to top it off, he probably has an album of you cuddling bcs it's his fav thing to do.

a/n: sorry that this is so short! i love cuddling hcs bcs physical affection is >>>>> happy belated valentine's to anon and everyone!!!

my request box is still open and read the rules too bfr you request!

[MAIN STORY] 3am, Inverted (Chapter 3)

chapter 3 of act I, part I of dream!ing’s second season ↓

A gunshot rang out.

Shigure: Ah—

Touji & Takaomi: !!

—— Pointed toward the ceiling, the gun’s muzzle went off in a spray of petals and colorful paint.

Male Student A: Hahaha! Oh man! I’m totally covered in pink!

Male Student B: With green and yellow petals on top! Hakka-senpai, this is great!

“We want more!” “Give us an even more exciting show!”

Paralyzed by the nightlife’s wild thrall, the students were charged up with a bizarre fervor. Some had even begun to dance, covered head-to-toe in paint.

Touji: Wha… Settle down, all of you…! Stop pushing me…!

Takaomi: They’re totally out of their minds. Out of the goddamn way…!

Taking advantage of the chaos, the masked man roughly shook himself free from Shigure’s arms and took off running.

Shigure: We musn’t let him get away. Shishimaru-kun, Harimiya-kun—!

Takaomi: Like I said, quit giving me orders!

Touji: We’ve managed to chase him this far. I shall see the moment the Heavens strike him down with my own eyes!

Touji: SECRET ART! SUPER LONG-DISTANCE SHOE CATAPULT—! (NAME CREDIT: NITO-KUN) (he literally says the parentheses here im dead)

Takaomi: HUH!?

Masked Man: —!

As he took Touji’s shoe right to the back of the head, the man’s fleeing footsteps faltered.

— Not a single eye in the room failed to notice that very moment.

Takaomi: Making us run around for no reason… You’d better remember to compensate us with a Live Ticket.

Shigure: I shall make sure of it. I swear on the Family’s name.

Touji: Accept your fate! You may hide your face with that mask, but you cannot hide your sins!

The three of them had him surrounded.

There was nowhere left for the masked man to run.

Shigure: I shall reveal your true identity.

Masked Man: ……

Shigure faced the man and took a step toward him — and just then.

As the quiet snap of the man’s fingers rang out, the floor beneath the three of them suddenly disappeared.

All 3: —!

With no way to resist the void that opened up ——

They fell deeper and deeper into the pitch darkness.

 ____________________________________________

Shigure: —— We will now begin our report on the “Illegal Dream World Organized by an Unknown Perpetrator”.

Mikage: Begiiin.

Hakka-san cast a cold gaze at me.

It seemed that my kindhearted attempt to lighten the suffocating atmosphere surrounding our three teachers wasn’t well-received. Bummer.

Shigure: Allow me to begin with a brief summary. If you log into the Yume System around 3:00 a.m., it is possible to enter this dream by inputting a specific operation code.

Saruwatari: Mhm, mhm. And?

Shigure:  Around the same time that students began summer vacation, an add-on for special app designed by Shinonome Gakuen that allows one to easily turn their smartphone into a Yume Mask began circulating.

Shigure: The ease of login combined with the students’ extended period of free time resulted in an explosive number of users joining the app craze.

Shigure: As we entered September and even up until present, the number of students logging in to this dream continues to increase.

Saruwatari: That’s wonderful!

Shigure: Eh…?

Saruwatari: I can see without a doubt that the developer is a brilliant person overflowing with curiosity, humor and entrepreneurial spirit! I can feel their passion.

Inoh: Should the acting chairman really be saying that...?

Saruwatari: Haha, sorry. I just couldn’t help getting worked up as I listened to that report.

Saruwatari: Certainly, it is a clear violation of the system’s fraud detection, but there’s something beautiful about it. Possessing such deep knowledge of the Yume System and using that knowledge so precisely, you can feel the attention to every evil detail, no?

Inoh: The work of someone familiar with the Yume System…

Inoh: —! … Don’t tell me this is your doing.

As he took a small jab from an elbow with a thwump, Kiritani-sensei furrowed his brow and looked carefully at the notebook laptop on his lap.

Kiritani: I’m analyzing the source code right now, but it’s encrypted so many times over you’d think they’re hiding the secrets to someone’s murder in there. What a pain in the ass.

Inoh: Don’t talk like that in front of your students. Always saying such things, it’s because you live such a lazy and undisciplined lifestyle that the culprit is looking down on us—

Turning toward Kiritani-sensei as he zoned out of Inoh’s scolding, I raised a finger and gave it a little wave.

Noticing the motion, Sensei sighed and let his gaze trail out the window.

Shigure: —Allow me to continue.

Shigure: The building’s exterior bears resemblance to the casinos in Las Vegas. Inside, there are various amusement areas on each floor.

Shigure: Just like a mobile game, players are given a common currency of play coins, and just by logging in every night, they can receive enough coins to keep playing throughout the entire night.

Shigure: And those who collect a large number of coins are granted access to the exclusive luxury VIP room on the top floor, where they can play even higher-stakes games.

Inoh: So it’s a system that makes you believe your worth is based on how much coin you possess.

Kiritani: Making people feel inferior even inside dreams, huh. Kids these days sure don’t have anything better to do.

Saruwatari: The dangerous point where dreams meet reality.

Shigure: This danger-filled dream has been hence nicknamed the “27club” (ninakurabu).

Shigure: Unfortunately, we failed to apprehend the suspicious figure last night, but the student council intends to continue its investigation to our fullest ability.

Mikage: Yes we dooo.

Saruwatari: We’re counting on you. If you make any progress in the investigation, however small, please tell me right away.

Bankai: A Discussion

WARNING: LONG POST IS LONG, READ AT OWN RISK; ALSO, SPOILERS

I’m so ready to make this post. I’ve got a few things I want to do with this post and they are: 

ranking the existing Bankai

discussing the Bankai I would’ve liked to see revealed or developed

speculating on what I think my Zanpakutō would be

Of course, in reality, I know that there simply wasn’t enough time or story to reveal or develop every characters’ Bankai, especially the supporting characters’. However, that’s not stopping me from speculating on what could’ve been.

So, if you’ve mentally prepared for an obscenely long post, let us journey into the realm of Bankai.

P.S. - I’m going to include the Bankai that belong to filler characters, as well, because it’s easier than weeding them out, but feel free to disregard them if you want to. Also, I’m doing the Bankai shown in the anime and the manga, no movies because I haven’t seen any.

Bankai: Ranked

 *note: I’m using this page of the Bleach Wiki as a reference, so this should be a fairly complete list of every Bankai in Soul Society.*

1. Sōō Zabimaru - Renji Abarai 

Type: Melee  Release Command: Howl 

I love everything about this Bankai. Not only the aesthetic of it, but the sheer power is amazing. I mean, this Bankai has three special abilities. Like, what?! Ichigo’s doesn’t even have three special abilities (granted he has plenty to make up for it, but whatever). Also, I feel like if any Zanpakutō resembles their owner to a T, it’s Zabimaru. Such an impressive Bankai.   

2. Kannonbiraki Benihime Atarame - Kisuke Urahara

Type: Kidō Release Command: Awaken

Ever since I learned about Bankai, I wanted to see Urahara’s. His was definitely my most anticipated reveal, and it did not disappoint. Talk about a haunting Bankai! Similar to Renji and Zabimaru, I feel like Benihime reflects Urahara quite well and in many different ways. The most obvious similarity, of course, is Benihime’s ability to restructure the things that she comes into contact with; this naturally connects to Urahara’s fondness of development and invention. I’m rambling too much. I just really love Urahara’s Bankai.

3. Katen Kyōkotsu: Karamatsu Shinjū - Shunsui Kyōraku

Type: Kidō Release Command: Flower Wind Rage and Flower God Roar, Heavenly Wind Rage and Heavenly Demon Sneer

Shunsui’s Bankai is literally me. It’s basically the Bankai of despair, like... same. No, but for real, Shunsui’s Bankai is badass. I mean, I guess it would be after the centuries he’s had to master it. It’s terrifying and brutal and sad, but the primary word I’d use to describe it is “beautiful.” The story Shunsui tells during his battle makes his Bankai so special. There’s a lot to talk about with his Bankai, but I think I’ll just leave it with: very nice.

4. Hakka no Togame - Rukia Kuchiki

Type: Ice Release Command: Dance

Honestly, Rukia’s Bankai blew me away (so much so that she pushed Ichigo out of the top five). I was skeptical when I learned she would acquire her Bankai in the manga because I wasn’t sure how her Ice-Type Bankai could be written differently than Tōshirō’s, never mind being interesting considering her Zanpakutō isn’t the most powerful Ice-Type Zanpakutō. However, her Bankai turned out to be beautiful and haunting and absolute, and I completely fell in love with it.          

5. Senbonzakura Kagoshima - Byakuya Kuchiki

Type: Unclassified Release Command: Scatter

I mean, who doesn’t find Byakuya’s Zanpakutō absolutely bomb? I mean, sure, it’s simple and it doesn’t have a lot to it, but that convinces me even further that his Bankai is one of the greatest. His opponents will surely assume such an obvious and visible attack will be easy to dodge, and then bam! Byakuya rips them ten-thousand new ones. Freakin’ badass.

6. Daiguren Hyōrinmaru - Tōshirō Hitsugaya

Type: Ice Release Command: Sit Upon the Frozen Heavens

This is another obvious one, but sue me, Tōshirō’s Bankai is breathtaking. I remember at one point it was said that his Shikai was nearly as powerful as his Bankai, but then I read the last arc and damn! That statement is false because... his complete Bankai is... whoa. That right there is proof to me that Hitsugaya will be the most powerful Shinigami one day. Hell, he may even take over for Shunsui...

7. Tensa Zangetsu - Ichigo Kurosaki

Type: Melee Release Command: Constantly Released

Listen, the reason Ichigo’s Bankai is kind of low on the list is because his Bankai alone isn’t as mind blowing as his Bankai + the eight-thousand other abilities he has. However, each and every time that boy gets a glow up, I lose my damn mind when he calls out his Bankai. So, I still love it lots. And while I’m here, I wanna say--and I know this isn’t a Bankai-exclusive ability but--every time Ichigo says “Getsuga Tenshō!” my brain implodes because of the excited screeches that escape my mouth.

8. Nozarashi (Unnamed Bankai) - Kenpachi Zaraki 

Type: Melee Release Command: Drink

I may be a little biased because I love Kenpachi so much, but it’s hard to deny that his Bankai is monstrously intimidating. I mean... there’s not much else to say about it. I wish we could’ve seen Kenpachi’s Bankai go up against Komamura’s, though. Anyway, yeah. Kenpachi is freakin’ awesome.

9. Zanka no Tachi - Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto

Type: Fire Release Command: Reduce All Creation To Ash

Dude’s Bankai can raise the dead! No wonder he was the head captain for over 1,000 years. And that release command is terrifying in and of itself. I wanted him to wreck Yhwach so hard. I mean, I know the whole point of Yama dying was to establish the Yhwach was the biggest bad yet, but nonetheless. Bottom line, Yama will always be a freakin’ badass, RIP.

10. Jakuhō Raikōben - Soi Fon

Type: Unclassified Release Command: Sting All Enemies To Death

It’s not the stealthiest Bankai, I will admit, but wHO CARES, IT’S AMAZING. I would love to be able to bust out a giant shoulder missile on command and blast away downtown traffic (I’m kidding, I don’t live in the city). Like, what an awesome Bankai? Granted the can-only-use-once-every-three-days thing is a bit of a bummer, but we all have our weaknesses.   

11. Tsuishiki: Enma Kōrogi - Kaname Tōsen

Type: Kidō Release Command: Cry

I wanna kill the dude as much as the next person (although, I have the tiniest bit of sympathy for him), but you gotta admit... his Bankai is pretty badass. Well, I mean, to the average person. Obviously, Kenpachi wasn’t impressed, but... Whatever, being able to attack somebody when they can’t see you is awesome. Too bad Tōsen is a POS. What can ya do? 

12. Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō - Mayuri Kurotsuchi

Type: Poison  Release Command: Rip

Again, not my absolute favorite person, but I can’t deny that his Bankai is impressive. Especially considering he can work with his Zanpakutō to improve and develop it. The main ability of his Bankai--that being the distribution of poison--is actually really enjoyable for me to see unleashed in battle. Initially, I didn’t like Mayuri’s Bankai, but after reading the final arc, I realized I liked his Zanpakutō and his personality a lot better. So, yes. Mayuri, you’re a bit of a douche, but you know what you’re doing. Go you.

13. Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō - Sajin Komamura 

Type: Melee Release Command: Roar

Other than the sheer force that comes from Komamura’s Bankai, I love the fact that if Tenken is injured, then so is Komamura. Also, this is an interesting Bankai for Komamura considering Komamura is usually quite peaceful while his Bankai is quite violent. I imagine this is because Komamura constantly fought his heritage, but it peaked through in his Bankai. Anyway, this is a good one. And the name sounds really cool out loud. 10/10.

14. Ryūmon Hōzukimaru - Ikkaku Madarame

Type: Melee Release Command: Grow/Split

I really wish I could justify putting Ikkaku’s Bankai higher up on this list, but alas, there’s some tough competition. I think the reason it isn’t as remarkable to me is because it’s just an influx of power without any of the added characteristics (like Kenpachi’s red skin or Komamura’s health being tied with Tenken’s). Although, the fact that Ikkaku developed his Bankai so quickly is pretty damn impressive on its own. Hell, maybe his Bankai isn’t done developing yet. Who knows? I still love the guy, even though his Bankai isn’t my favorite. At least he and his Zanpakutō are quite similar. As long as they work well together, that’s all that matters in battle. 

15. Kamishini no Yari - Gin Ichimaru

Type: Unclassified Release Command: Shoot To Kill

I think the thing that makes Gin’s Bankai a little interesting to me is the way that he uses it. Otherwise, it is quite a flat Bankai, but because Gin is interesting, it’s interesting. I don’t know, if it were offered to me as an ability, I’d definitely take it, so that’s good enough for me!

16. Raika Gōen Kaku - Shūsuke Amagai

Type: Fire

Release Command: Sever 

Alright, alright, I know 95% of the fandom don’t like this guy or the arc this guy was in, but I found his Zanpakutō (his Bankai, especially) to be very interesting and... well, cool. I dunno, that’s all I’ll say about it, but I wanted to put him on here anyway!

17. Shirafude Ichimonji - Ichibē Hyōsube

Type: Kidō Release Command: Blacken

I was actually pleasantly surprised by this Bankai (I don’t think it’s technically a Bankai, but that’s how it’s marked on the Wiki). It had a very interesting ability, if not a little confusing. The battle Ichibē had with Yhwach was really enjoyable to read because of this Bankai. I think Ichibē’s position in the Zero Division made his Bankai seem more interesting, as well.       

18. Kōkō Gonryō Rikyū - Chōjirō Sasakibe

Type: Lightning Release Command: Bite

First of all, RIP, Sasakibe. Secondly, this badass put a scar on Old Man Yama. So, I’d say that that’s proof enough that this dude’s Bankai is legit. I wanna be able to strike people out of the sky like a Norse god with bolts of lighting, too! 

19. Tekken Tachikaze - Kensei Muguruma

Type: Wind

Release Command: Blow It Away

Oh, man. I’m gonna get in trouble for this one. Listen, the three different punches or whatever that Kensei can throw out with his Bankai is cool, but overall, it’s kind of blah. Which doesn’t represent Kensei at all, but what can you do?

20. Kinshara Butōdan - Rōjūrō Ōtoribashi

Type: Kidō

Release Command: Play

This is another blah Bankai, but it’s also kind of corny. I think it’s just not my taste, though. The concept of it is really cool, actually, I just don’t think it hit for me.

21. Minazuki - Retsu Unohana

Type: Kidō Release Command: Unknown

I’m sure her Bankai is badass, but unfortunately, we don’t actually know what it does. All we know is it’s name, what it looks like, and that Unohana gets a serious power boost. So, I cannot place it anywhere but at the bottom. Tragic.

Bankai: The Lost Files

I’m just going to be going over certain characters who’s Bankai I really would’ve liked to see developed or revealed. And when I say certain characters... I mean nearly every Shinigami and Visored that hasn’t revealed or developed their Bankai. I’ll try to speculate what each person’s might’ve ended up being, as well. I know not every Shinigami’s Shikai is a direct indication of what they’re Bankai will be, but I don’t have anything else to go off of... and I’m not that creative.

Shūhei Hisagi

I’m so bitter about everything that has to do with this man not getting the attention he deserved. One of the big things is Hisagi’s Bankai. Because... he got it. He literally trained to master it for the Quincy Blood War (whether or not he did so in time, I’m not sure), so he knows how to use his Bankai. I. want. to. see. it. I don’t care if it’s in a sparring session or whatever. I get they’re happy that they’re in peace now, and that’s fine, but still. 

Okay, speculation time. So, a quick reminder: Hisagi’s Zanpakutō is a melee-type called Kazeshini with the release command of “Reap.” Since it’s a melee weapon, I don’t really know how to speculate on what his Bankai would be, but I imagine it would simply be an enhanced version of his Shikai. I’m sort of basing that off of Ichigo, Renji, and Ikkaku’s Bankai. Maybe he would have additional blades like Nnoitra had when he went through his Resurrección. Whatever his Bankai is, I’m sure it would have something to do with balance as that is the core of Hisagi’s character and the core of his relationship with Kazeshini. In fact, you already see it with his Shikai: the blades are identical, but the color of the blades are inverted, and they’re connected by a chain. That’s demonstrating to me that Hisagi’s darkness (including Kazeshini) is stuck with him. However, even though the darkness is constantly dueling with what Hisagi wants to be (peaceful), it’s still a valuable piece of who he is. Okay, moving on!

Izuru Kira

I mean, his Shikai is bomb already. Honestly--and I couldn’t explain exactly why--but I’m a tiny bit obsessed with Kira. Not as much as I’m obsessed with Hisagi, but I still love Kira. I think maybe his Zanpakutō plus his personality made me get attached to him. Anyway, I know there wasn’t even any talk about Kira developing his Bankai, but we’re not just gonna talk about the obvious people, here! I’m thorough!

Rundown: Kira’s Zanpakutō is a Kidō-type called Wabisuke with the release command of “Raise Your Head.” Anything Wabisuke cuts doubles in weight. Okay, since this is a Kidō-type weapon, I can stretch the Bankai interpretation a little. What I gather from the manifestation of Wabisuke that we saw in the Zanpakutō Rebellion arc, the essence of Wabisuke is despair. So, maybe Kira’s Bankai would be able to manipulate his opponent’s inner disparities somehow (after he cuts them, of course, as that’s how it works in Shikai). Other than that, I’m not exactly sure what Kira’s Bankai would be. So... I guess that means we’re moving on!

 Rangiku Matsumoto

I’m not going to spend too much time on Rangiku, but I just want her to have her Bankai because (no offense) she’s been around forever. I know her Zanpakutō is lazy like she is, but I wanna know what it’d be! And, I know she’s trying to learn it, so tick-tock!

Haineko is an unclassified type of Zanpakutō with the release command of “Growl.” Her Zanpakutō can turn its blade into ash that will cut the enemy with a flick of the hilt. So, since this Zanpakutō is unclassified, I’m gonna cheat and say that Rangiku’s Bankai would be exactly like Byakuya’s except... with ash instead of cherry blossom leaves. However, I actually think Haineko could potentially be stronger than Senbonzakura. The reasons being: A, Rangiku can already envelope enemies with her Shikai in the way that Byakuya does with his Bankai. B, ash can invade an enemy’s body more effectively than small blades (inhalation), and it’s completely undetectable until Rangiku decides to slash. So, whatever her Bankai will end up being, it’s gonna be a bitch for the unfortunate souls that decide to screw with her.

Isshin Kurosaki

I mean, honestly. He was a captain. Why do we not know what his Bankai is? I know, I know; it takes a toll on his body so he can’t use it if he’s injured and the whole thing about restoring his Reiatsu and blah blah, but... I don’t know, just mention what it does? I don’t need to see it, I just wanna know what it is!

Isshin’s “Engetsu” is an unclassified Zanpakutō with the release command of “Burn.” It seems like Isshin can sort of sacrifice his Reiatsu to attack an opponent, so I’m guessing that’s what his Bankai does. There must be some similarities with Ichigo’s since they can both do Getsuga Tenshō. If anyone has a more concrete idea for Isshin, please let know.

Yoruichi Shihōin 

Speaking of captains that never revealed their Bankai! I have nothing. I can’t even speculate because we don’t know what her Shikai is, either. I just wanted to bring this to your attention so you could be as annoyed as I am. 

Yumichika Ayasegawa

Honestly, considering the fact that Yumi hides what his Zanpakutō can really do, I really want to know what his Bankai would be (not that he would ever try to achieve it while he’s in the Eleventh Division). 

Ruri'iro Kujaku (or Fuji Kujaku) is a Kidō-type with the release command of either “Bloom” or “Split and Deviate.” In it’s Shikai form, Yumi’s Zanpakutō will drain the Spiritual Pressure of his opponent away until they’re all but dead. I imagine Yumi’s Bankai would be an even greater version of his true Shikai, which is already terrifying enough. Yumi could easily pass most of the captains in power if he were to achieve his Bankai, in my opinion. I imagine Yumi’s Bankai would have an area of effect like Shunsui’s, Rukia’s, and Yama’s. In my head, that area of effect would drain away the spiritual pressure of Yumi’s opponent just because they’re in Yumi’s presence. Which would be freakin’ amazing.  

Shinji Hirako

There are zero (0) reasons as to why we don’t know Shinji’s Bankai. Okay, if you don’t already know, Shinji is probably in my list of top five favorite Bleach characters, and I feel like we were gypped because we didn’t get to see his Bankai. Shinji had quite an important part to play in the main storyline of the series and, unlike some of the other people on this list, there were many times where he could’ve reasonably whipped out his Bankai, the biggest instance being his battle with Aizen. I seriously doubt that Shinji thought it’d be a good idea to fight Aizen with his Shikai alone, and I don’t think that Shinji is idiotic enough to underestimate Aizen, so why not use his Bankai? Anyway, I won’t blab on forever. Let’s get to the speculation.

So, Sakanade is an illusion-type Zanpakutō with the release command of “Collapse.” Basically, Sakanade inverts the senses, which makes it incredibly difficult for the opponent to fight. To be honest, Shinji’s Shikai almost seems powerful enough to be a Bankai, but of course, it isn’t. In fact, multiple opponents have been able to get into Sakanade’s blind spot during battle. Maybe Shinji’s Bankai would remove that blind spot by allowing Shinji to completely dictate his enemy’s senses rather than just invert them. That could potentially be a very deadly Bankai, especially paired with Shinji’s cunning. Just some thoughts.

Momo Hinamori 

Okay, I know this may seem strange because Momo hasn’t made a lot of appearances in Bleach overall, but I do have a reason (besides loving her to death) for wanting to see her Bankai. That reason is: it is the only fire-type Zanpakutō left in the Seireitei (Love has a fire-type Zanpakutō as well, but he’s no long a Soul Reaper). That, by definition, means it’s the strongest. So, I want to see what Momo can do!

Tobiume has the release command of “Snap,” and it has the ability to shoot fireballs. I know her Zanpakutō isn’t as strong as Yama’s was, but I still think her Bankai would have something to do with enveloping the enemy in fire. Perhaps Momo’s Bankai would be similar to Yama’s Shikai. Of course, with time, who knows how strong she could become. I especially like the idea of seeing Momo’s Bankai because she’s typically a soft individual, but when she fights, she is--quite literally--a fireball.

Jūshirō Ukitake

I have in my notes for this post, under Ukitake’s name: “How you ‘bout to kill him without showing us his Bankai?” I stand by that question. How dare you make me love this beautiful man, establish him as one of the oldest captains, and then decide not to show me his Bankai? What’s that about, Kubo?

Sōgyo no Kotowari is a Kidō-type Zanpakutō with the release command of “All Waves, Rise now and Become my Shield, Lightning, Strike now and Become my Blade.” There’s a little more to it than I’m about to describe, but the gist of this Zanpakutō is that it can absorb an enemy’s attack and return it in varying degrees of power. The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about Ukitake’s Bankai is that Ukitake would be able to permanently steal his opponent’s attack after absorbing it for the first time. Additionally, since Ukitake can already adjust the power of the return attack, with his Bankai, he’d be able to return it threefold. I know that’s sort of the most obvious answer for what his Bankai would be, but I still think it would be badass. Also, I’m still bitter we didn’t get to see it.

Tetsuzaemon Iba

Right, so I don’t really care about Iba as a characters (no offence if you do), but I just find it really strange that we know nothing about his Zanpakutō other than how his Shikai looks (which, admitedly, is more than we know about Yoruichi’s). The reason I’m mentioning him is because he’s a captain now. When we left off with his character, he was training himself so that he could feel like he deserved to take over for Komamura, so maybe he doesn’t have his Bankai quite yet? Even so, I’m surprised we didn’t learn about his Shikai during the Fake Karakura Town arc when everyone was fighting. Anyway, I’m just curious.

Kaien Shiba

Originally, I only put Kaien on this list because I freakin’ love the dude, but in doing some research, I found out that his Zanpakutō is the only known water-type? How cool is that? Also, I realize I should’ve known that from watching Rukia’s battle with Aaroniero Arruruerie, but I’m not the greatest with paying attention.

Alright, so Kaien’s Zanpakutō is called Nejibana and its release command is “Surge, Water and Sky.” Essentially, what it does is release water at such a powerful rate that it hits like crashing waves. So, because I’m tired and this post is probably only halfway over, I’m gonna just say that his Bankai would further his manipulation of water to the point where Kaien could actually cut (rather than hit) his opponent with the water slashes. Also, I imagine that since both Hitsugaya’s and Kaien’s Zanpakutō are elementally based, Kaien’s Bankai could preform something like Tōshirō’s. 

Hiyori Sarugaki

Well, Hiyori is something else, isn’t she? Well, we know a tiny bit more about Hiyori’s Zanpakutō than we do about Yoruichi’s or Iba’s... but there’s still not that much. It’s name is Kubikiri Orochi, it is an unclassified type, and it’s release command is “Chop Cleanly.” That’s about it. Other than how her Shikai looks, that’s all we got. I just wanna know what her Bankai is because she’s freakin’ crazy, and I bet it’d be awesome. Also, I realize that the Visoreds don’t have as much focus on their Shinigami powers because their Hollow powers are what made them important characters in the first place, but I’m a curious mind.

Ashido Kanō

Hello, just passing by to say I’m bitter that we don’t have closure on what the hell happened to Ashido. And, obviously, I wanna see his Bankai because he’s a badass (and we know nothing about his Zanpakutō). Okay, that’s it.

Kōga Kuchiki

Let’s be for real, Muramasa is freakin’ awesome. I wanna know his Bankai because... well, because. Muramasa is an illusion-type with the release command of “Whisper.” Kōga’s Shikai can basically control other Zanpakutō. Can you imagine how powerful his Bankai would be? I can’t. Like, I want to speculate, but I don’t know if I can. Would he be able to control Shinigami? I mean, how can you know? Anyway, I think it’d be unstoppable, way too powerful, and badass as all hell.

Hanatarō Yamada

I just wanna know what a Fourth Division Zanpakutō looks like. You’d think it’d have something to do with healing, but Hana’s Zanpakutō combines every womb it’s absorbed into one massive attack (also, it’s a Kidō-type and it’s release command is “Fulfill”). Which does connect to his healing abilities, but it’s actually a super powerful and potentially deadly attack. However, it’s form is a scalpel, which isn’t the best for direct attack, obviously, so hopefully his Bankai would improve the form of his Zanpakutō and maybe allow him to sustain the attack he has in Shikai longer. Either way, it’d be interesting to see.

Nozomi Kujō

Another filler character, I know, I know. Arazome Shigure is a Kidō-type Zanpakutō with the release command of “Rain Without End.” It can absorb Reiatsu and fire it back at the opponent after Nozomi has acquired enough, mildly similar to Ukitake’s. Basically, I just want to know how that would transform into a Bankai. I think that maybe Nozomi would be able to pull Reiatsu out more easily and perhaps wouldn’t need the charge up time before being able to attack, but let me know if you have any ideas, as with all of these!

Nanao Ise

Listen, listen, listen. Nanao has one of the coolest Zanpakutō ever. Shinken Hakkyōken is a Kidō-type with an unknown release command. Nanao’s Zanpakutō in its Shikai form can reflect her enemy’s power in eight directions or back at the original wielder. I think it’d be really awesome if, with her Bankai, Nanao could have a second blade... that’s actually a blade. Sort of like how Sado has two arms, one for offence, one for defense. I feel like she could really rock her Zanpakutō with practice.

Sōsuke Aizen 

I almost forgot about this douche. I don’t understand why we never saw it. I mean, I guess Aizen was supposed to transcend the Shinigami powers he had, but his Shikai is already extremely powerful. Kyōka Suigetsu is an illusion-type Zanpakutō with the release command of “Shatter.” It can control what the senses perceive. I don’t really know how to talk about Aizen’s Zanpakutō because... it’s literally impossible to beat if you don’t know the weakness... and that’s in Shikai. Aizen has got be dumbfounded, so if any of you reading this want to speculate on what Aizen’s Bankai would be, please do.

My Zanpakutō 

Okay, this was so much fun to do, I want everybody that watches Bleach to do the same thing and send it to me. I kind of based what my Zanpakutō would be on something that represents who I am. That is: dreaming. It sounds lame, I understand, but all I do is think about things I love and how I would love to recreate them. So, I made that into a Zanpakutō.

P.S. I used a few English-to-Japanese translators to figure all this out, but I guarantee none of it is actually translated correctly. So, if you know Japanese, I’m very sorry. 

Name: Dorīmubendā (Dream Bender) Type: Illusion-Type Release Command: Deform

Shikai Special Ability: Ability to control what a person sees based on their desires. In Shikai, Dorīmubendā will be able to reach into an opponent’s mind, locate a desire they have, and manipulate it to the benefit of its wielder. For example, convince the opponent that they have dealt a finishing blow when, in fact, it is simply an illusion. Although able to manipulate the senses, the effects of Dorīmubendā are only an illusion.  

Bankai: Dorīmubendā no i Kokorozashi (Dream Bender’s Will)

In Bankai, Dorīmubendā will be able to bend opponent’s nightmares into reality, rather than create illusions, to attack the opponent. For example, if an opponent fears death, Dorīmubendā will deal out a thousand deaths in an instant without actually harming them. However, the shock and pain of experiencing that nightmare will kill the opponent outright. 

Alright, well I had a lot of fun doing this (even though it took two full evenings!), and I’m really interested in your responses to all of these sections of discussion. What’s your top five Bankai? Which Bankai do you wish we’d seen? What would your Zanpakutō be? Let me know! I hope you enjoyed reading!
