#how japan treats yuki

[i-am-church-the-cat]

I desperately need people to be nice to Logan in Miami. If he goes to his home race and the crowd isn’t happy to see him I will literally cry. Give me your fucking tickets bitch, I’ll appreciate him.

(Open Rp) The Monkey King: Reborn in "The Sakutopian Fox Princess and The Monkey King"

On the Glorious Morning, The Princess Of Sakutopia, Japan Name "Princess Saphira Lorraina Fox" Who was On the Journey To meet the Oracle At the Temple In the Mighty Forest Mountains.. She Ride Her Mighty Kirin Name "Yuki" The leader and the King of the Herds on the Path to seek The Oracle, The reason Why she was Seeking the Oracle Is because She kept Rejecting alot of Suitors back In Sakutopia, Japan. One By one, Many Suitors are rejected by the princess because their hearts are nothing but greed and Dishonoring, and their Minds Are Power Obsessive and Abusive as well, Mostly they wanted the Throne and treat Saphira Like a "simple house wife, maid, servant, or Much worse of them all.. A Slave", Then her Father Decided to Send Saphira to Seek the Oracle At the Zhen Yuan Temple to tell her Whats Her Future Husband Will be soon and what Future Holds as well. When She made it to the Zhen yuans temple, the two Guardian Deities Came and saw Saphira wearing a beautiful Royal kimono and the beautiful Celestial Fox mask and She said,

Saphira:" Greetings, I am Princess Saphira Lorraina Fox Of Sakutopia and I am Here to seek the Oracle."

Deity 1: "And you've come to stay For the Night as well after Seeking the Oracle?"

Saphira:" Why yes, I must Know what Future holds, you see i was sent From m-"

The Second Deity cut off,

Deity 2:" Your Father, we know. The Master Is Fully aware that your here as well, Your More welcome to Stay and we have a Feeling that Master Tang and Those 3 deity will be arriving as well."

Saphira: "Oh? and who are they?"

Deity 1: " We'll Deal with it, So don't worry about it. Please Follow us."

As Saphira Follows the two Deity as they Guided her to the Nice Luxurious Guest room and She loves it very much and then She thanked them very much as she bows ..and then the two Deity sense that they have arrived, as one of them told her that She can feel free to explore until The Oracle finally arrives in the Form of the elderly Woman, She told Saphira That She is in Terrible Danger and that She will be Cursed By a Demon King Name "Yuandi" the First demon Who will put Saphira Into an Eternal Sleep But She will be Awaken by true loves Kiss From a hero Who was Known as "The Great Sage equal to heaven", Saphira was Shocked that Her Future Husband will be the "Monkey king". Then She asked How would this be possible? But the oracle Answers that Destiny has it's ways to bring Two immortal lovers Together For the good of Saphira's Kingdom.. After the oracle left, Saphira began to Explore the temple while wearing a Lovely Fox Mask and began to Hum and Sings Softly with her beautiful Angelic Voice but little does she know that her Voice Echoes through temple and Nature itself At the center of the Temple, Pigsy Heard Her Voice and realized that there's a Princess In The temple as well along with an enchanted Fruit. Then He began to try to look For Sun wukong to Tell him But He already knows because he too heard Saphira's Voice, So He decided to See who She was and began Following Her beautiful Voice Unexpected By Shapeshift into a bug and Pigsy Turns into a caterpillar, When they Found Her In the Lovely Garden,, The Monkey King Saw the Princess Wearing a Fox Mask but he was curious about whats behind that mask of hers While Saphira Is relaxing and Humming beautifully until.. She saw a green Weird looking caterpillar with a Pig face..when she gets closer, Pigsy Spoke saying "Hiya gorgeous!" Saphira made a Small screams and runs off from the garden saying the caterpillar can talk, She stopped and glance back and pants..She could've swore That this Weird caterpillar can talk, She Spawn a beautiful fan and began to fan herself like she's going to Faint, After fanning herself and began to walk on the boardwalk until She hears the Fluttering of the beetle as she sees the weird Pig face caterpillar again and he Spoke again, trying to flirt at her.. but then saphira Smacked him with her fan and hits the wall as he change back to the original self with a Puff of smoke and she runs off fearfully, While she was running and head to the Big Garden part and She looked around making sure that Pigsy doesn't followed her, When she thought it was coast is clear But She was Followed by a weird Brown beetle but turns out it was the monkey king in the beetle form as she gasp and began to fall backward but She was caught by his arms and he said..

Synopsis: When Satoru goes on a mission with his friends to escort the new transfer student

or

when Satoru runs into an idol at the airport and just can’t resist making Suguru jealous.

Satoru was walking along the beach, barely paying attention to the scenery. The only thing on his mind was the mountain of work he hadn’t even started. When he told his driver to pull over as soon as he spotted the beach, this hadn’t been part of the plan.

As he crouched down to let the water run through his fingers, his thoughts drifted to his high school summers, back when he was just a reckless kid whose decisions didn’t weigh so heavily. Back then, his biggest concerns were playing Digimon and flirting with girls alongside Suguru. Now, he didn’t even have Suguru anymore.

His thoughts shifted to Yuji and how he was going to save the boy, but another face began to surface in his mind—a face he hadn’t seen in years. They look so similar. It hit him all at once, the resemblance between Sukuna’s vessel and her. How long had it been since he’d last seen her? [Name] had left around the same time as Suguru, but unlike everything he’d done to bring Suguru back, he had just let her go. No resistance, no fight, nothing. He didn’t have the right to fight for something that was never his, though it was something he’d always wanted. Could I have been happy if they’d both stayed by my side?

2006, Tokyo, Japan

It wasn’t an ordinary day. Just a few days after Satoru had joined Jujutsu High, Yaga finally took them outside the school grounds. The task was simple: locate the new transfer student and escort her safely to campus. Simple enough. According to Yaga, they’d recognize her as soon as they saw her. Satoru had his doubts but didn’t argue.

When they stepped out of the car at Tokyo Airport, Satoru quickly realized the task wasn’t going to be as straightforward as it sounded. The airport was packed, making it hard to move, let alone find someone. Before he knew it, he’d lost sight of everyone else. Panicking about the scolding he’d get later, he wandered around asking strangers if they’d seen a grumpy old guy, a scruffy long-haired teen, or a tiny wannabe smoker. Unsurprisingly, no one stopped to help. Frustrated, he decided to take a break at a café. A sweet treat would cheer him up.

But as he stood in line, his eyes landed on a strange figure ahead of him. It wasn’t her outfit or the way she was hiding under a wig and mask that gave her away. No, Satoru recognized her for another reason.

It’s her. It has to be her.

When it was her turn to pay, Satoru discreetly swiped her wallet. Watching her frantically search for it, he leaned forward and told the cashier:

“Add her order to mine.”

“That’s not necessary, but thank you, sir” she said, bowing politely.

“No problem. I’ll pay” Satoru replied, glancing at the menu. “I’ll take that strawberry milkshake—can you add extra strawberries? Oh, and those candies too.”

“Of course, sir. Anything else?”

“Nope, that’s it” he said, handing over the cash and grabbing their orders. “Here you go” he said, handing her coffee to her.

“Thanks for the coffee! I’ll pay you back as soon as I find my wallet” she said, still rummaging through her bag.

“Don’t worry about it. But what’s your name?” “Um… Yuki. And yours?”

Yuki? Why lie to me, sweetheart?

“Satoru.” He caught the flicker of surprise in her eyes. Does she know me? But why would a famous idol know me?

“Thank you, Satoru. If there’s any way I can repay you, let me know. But I really have to go now. See you!”

“Well, actually, there is something” he said.

“What is it?” she asked, a hint of curiosity in her voice.

“A photo! You’re a famous idol, aren’t you? That wig and mask don’t fool anyone. You’re the reason this airport’s so crowded—I even lost my teacher because of you! One photo, and we’re square.”

Suguru’s gonna be so jealous.

“A photo? Oh my god, keep your voice down! No one can recognize me” she hissed. “I can’t take off my wig or mask, and I really need to leave. But if we meet again someday, I promise to give you a photo, okay?”

“You lied about your name and made me pay for your coffee. The least you can do is take a photo!”

“What? You paid because you wanted to!”

“Either you take the photo, or I don’t give back your wallet.”

“My wallet? You took my wallet?”

“Let’s just say I found it…”

“You stole it!”

“I didn’t steal it!”

“You did!”

“I didn’t!”

“Yes, you did! Give it back!”

“Not without the photo.”

“Listen, I have a commitment and need to leave. Either give it back, or I’ll call the police,” she said, trying to remain patient.

“What commitment? As far as I know, you don’t even have a show coming up. And if you call the police, everyone in this airport will know who you are!”

“Fine! Can I take the damn photo with the mask and wig on?” she asked, glaring at him.

“No, you can keep the wig, but your face has to show. Otherwise, what’s the point?” he said, as if it were obvious.

“I can’t take off the mask here.”

“Hmm…” Satoru tapped his chin thoughtfully. “Come with me.”

Grabbing her wrist, he dragged her out of the airport toward the car he’d arrived in.

“Where are you taking me? Let go, you lunatic!”

“We’re almost there,” he said, pulling her into the car. “Okay, now you can take it off.”

“You’re insane. Let me out!”

“Just take the photo,” he said, holding up his phone.

Hesitating, she removed her mask, positioned herself next to him, and allowed him to snap the picture.

“Here. Now give me my wallet,” she demanded, extending her hand.

“Here you go,” he said, tossing it to her. “And thanks for paying for my order.”

“But… you paid…”

“With your money,” he smirked, sending the photo to Suguru.

“You idiot!” she yelled, storming out and slamming the car door behind her.

Chuckling, Satoru watched her hurry back into the airport. Just as he was about to head back himself, his phone buzzed with a reply from Suguru.

Suguru ① photo sent You idiot! You’re the dumbest person alive. What do you mean, Suguru? That’s just jealousy. That was her! Tell me you still have her! Why? Want a photo too? She’s the student we were supposed to pick up! How didn’t you notice? Yaga said her cursed energy was so strong anyone could feel it! No way! She’s an idol. I didn’t sense any cursed energy! You’re unbelievably stupid. Check the news, idiot. The news? Why?

Satoru opened the news app, and his eyes nearly popped out of his skull.

“Famous singer [Name] seen entering a car with an unknown boy outside Tokyo Airport. Full story inside.”

Oh, crap.

That was all Satoru could think as he bolted back into the airport.

As he left the beach, he decided he’d have to figure out why the girl haunting his dreams looked so much like his new student.

Notes: Well, English is not my first language so I hope everything is ok!

Don't copy my work, do your own!

I hope you like it💕

sushi date - y.tsunoda

masterlist

requested: n

pairing: yuki tsunoda x gasly!reader

warnings: fluff + cultural differences

a/n: I am Japanese American(and proud!) I feel like there’s not a lot of yuki stuff on here plus I figured I’d take what I know about my shared culture with yuki and share it with all of you! my family is from Okinawa so we do have different traditions compared to the mainland so please keep that in mind. feedback is always appreciated xx

“you’re holding them wrong.” he says now for the tenth time throughout the dinner. it was your first time since graduating from cheater chopstick, to regular ones. yuki believed you were ready after many mornings, lunches, and dinners of repeated practice of the motion and feelings of the chopstick against your fingers.

he finds you struggling throughout the course, and instead of his usual outbursts he has on the track, he just calmly reminds you of the proper handling. he’s so gentle with you, it’s totally a different side.

“well then reteach me.” you huff out a sigh in frustration. he chuckles at your visibly disappointed appearance. he thinks it’s cute how much effort you’re putting into learning his culture.

he gets up from his seat and moves around the table to your chair, his hands take the sticks from your grip restarting. he spreads your fingers, “take this one here,” he rests the first chopstick against the outer of your index finger, “and this one like so.” he moves the bottom chopstick against your middle finger watching you imitate the motions of using them properly.

“and then I get to do this.” he leans in pressing a kiss to your lips happily humming against yours. pulling away now, he watches you carefully take the sushi into your mouth with the correct placement and motion.

“I think the kiss really helped.” you feel heat spread across your cheeks and the faint footsteps of your brother entering his kitchen.

ever since Pierre’s, your brother, departure from alpha tauri, yuki has yet to leave his side. you’ve spent how many years getting to know the Japanese driver, it was almost destined you two were to fall in love. Pierre couldn’t have thought of a perfect replacement for himself than you. someone who actually reciprocated the feelings for yuki.

“how is my yuki-san?” Pierre ruffles the boys black hair sitting along beside you both at the table, he picks up the chopsticks with ease beginning to sort through the containers of food.

you shoot yuki a glare, upset that your own brother had it mastered before you. he simply shrugs, pointing to the bowl of noodles in front of you, “this is tonkatsu, they say if you eat this before an important event you will do well.”

“so you’re saying we should have Pierre eat it all?” you push the steaming hot bowl in front of your brother, yuki is trying his best to not let his laugh show. he’s always loved your playful banter, it’s awfully similar to how Pierre treats him.

“ha ha very funny, but I think alpha tauri drivers will need it without my presence.” he says proudly pushing the bowl towards yuki, who gladly accepts and begins to swirl the noodles against the chopsticks while scooping some broth into his spoon.

“come taste.” he motions for you, blowing on the hot content for you before you slurp the noodles and broth into your mouth. the broth is rather sweet with a hint of vinegar, it’s nothing like you’ve had before you practically melt into the flavors.

“remind me to book my plane ticket to Japan for the Grand Prix.” you pull up a chair beside your boyfriend allowing him to feed you the udon. every so often, he feeds himself while you take sushi from the shared platter.

he loves dinners like this. just you, him, and Pierre enjoying whatever takeout you want. he’s happy it’s Japanese food, although it never compares to his mothers, he’s happy to get the taste of home whenever he can and share it with you.

yuki chuckles readjusting the chopsticks against your fingers, he helps you twirl the noodles while scooping up broth for yourself. you take both into your mouth allowing the semi-hot liquids to burn your mouth, “how do you say delicious in Japanese again?”

“Oishī.”

“this is Oishī, just like you.” you lean in pecking your lips against his, hearing Pierre gag at you both, but yuki doesn’t mind of all the times he’s made fun of Pierre for being whipped he finally gets it.

“I hope I don’t have to stay with you guys in Japan.”

[abyss-strikas]

ahem, you should do raino or tiger head canons, can’t get over my faves👨🏽

You're definitely right, I should! I will say, when I was writing these headcanons, I kind of went a bit overboard so I'm doing five headcanons for Twisting Tiger and Riano. I did also add a couple of headcanons at the end that includes my fan team, the Silver Lions FC, since it did come to mind when writing these out. I'll put those under a Read More though, just so this doesn't get as long as it is now. @h3art-v1n

Twisting Tiger

The grandmother that he mentions in Rookie Season is not his biological grandmother. I’m still a believer of him, Inyo and Miko growing up in an orphanage together, as shown in the comics, and I headcanon that he did eventually get adopted, but by an older woman who he considers his grandmother. She’s a fitness trainer, hence the abs thing

His favorite colour is green, associating it with nature and growth. He had to learn a lot after being adopted by his grandmother, and he was drawn to the color green because of the bandana she would always wear. She made him his own bandana before he left Japan to join Supa Strikas, and he keeps it in his closet for safe keeping.

Tiger has a sweet tooth. Aside from chocolate croissants being one of his favorites to eat, he also likes strawberry shortcake, mochi, strawberry and cherry dangos, and daifuku.

Tiger has always wanted to try and foster cats or dogs, but never really had a chance to because of his job. He was encouraged by his teammates to go for it, and he ended up fostering a nine-year old cat he named Yuki. Tiger was drawn to her because of how she was surrendered to the shelter, but no one wanted to take her in. Just like how it was for Tiger until he was adopted at the age of sixteen by his grandmother. So, he hopes he can give Yuki a better life than being in the shelter, just like what happened to him.

Tiger is the king of dance, at least on his dance pads. You might see him in the mall arcade playing the those kinds of games, with kids playing alongside him. He holds the record on almost all the songs on at least two dance machines.

Riano

The man is very humble, to the point that he’s got no secrets to hide. If he’s got secrets, they’re pretty tame and only the kind that would make him look “lame” to a majority of his fans. Like, his love for a children’s book series he grew up with, which is still going on to this day. A lot of fans like seeing him as the really cool, hot, and very charming football player he is, but there are times when he would like to nerd out about some of his interests.

Whenever Barka and Supa Strikas meet up, Riano and El Matador are always chatting away in Spanish, whether it be about some random topic or gossip within the Super League. Riano would never spread a rumor about someone, and usually scolds those who do, especially if said rumors are aimed to hurt the person they are targeting. He only participates in the gossip to see what’s going on with his fellow League players.

He used to dye his hair different colours when he was a teen, but settled on the purple when he first joined Barka. He had meant to remove it, but it became a part of his image when he played beautifully in his first few games, he decided to keep the streaks.

Riano keeps in touch with his family, and they’re a very large family. He always gets them gifts from the places he and his team go to, plays with his little cousins, nieces and nephews, and always engages in conversation with the parents, aunts, uncles, and his grandparents. However, when everything gets too much, he just heads to his older sister’s place, which is pretty much away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and crashes there for a night or two. She doesn’t mind, as she is an introvert compared to Riano, but appreciates it that her brother does come to visit from time to time.

Every two weeks, Riano treats his team to a Sunday brunch at a restaurant that he usually frequents, and the owner knows him very well. They get a discount on the bill if they win two games before the brunch, a small deal Riano made with the owner after the owner joked that his team couldn’t win back to back games during a drought they had. So far, the owner hasn’t gone back on the deal and has even made small compromises when they’ve won one game but lost the second one.

Bonus headcanons – Silver Lions FC Edition

 It may come as a surprise, but Riano did doubt the Silver Lions when the club rejoined the Super League. For Riano, his doubt stemmed from how everyone was hyping up the team, despite the fact that most of the players on the team never had any football experience, except the returning veterans. He thought they would treat the game like a joke and not take it seriously, but then he saw how they played their second game against them with precision and how they were able to adapt to their different move sets.

He also had doubts about the team for how they would respond in interviews, seeing their answers as maybe too much for the fans. But he was shocked to learn that a majority of the Super League fans actually liked the brutal honesty that came from the Silver Lions; a breath of fresh air is what many fans had said about them.

Riano would later apologize to both Oliver and Trent on how he first viewed them and their team, and they apologized in return for rushing to assume that Riano was like the other players they’ve met. Always judging them while hiding it under his charming looks and personality. Seeing as all three captains all had the same idea of what they thought the other team was like, Riano invited them and their team for brunch, to show no hard feelings between each team. In return, the Silver Lions invited Barka to the restaurant/pub they go to celebrate special events, including brunch.

From time to time, Riano will spend time with the captains, but he also has formed a friendship with their reserve defender, Flint Martinez, and his boyfriend who is one of the main defenders, Hale Pagaduan. Riano took interest in Flint after watching him perform with his underground band, and found that he and Hale could relate to each other about having big families and having such high expectations put on them by their families. When the three are together, they're usually seen running in the park with some other Barka FC players and talking about anything that has been happening in the world or within the Super League.

Twisting Tiger wasn't sure if he would even get along with any of the Silver Lions players, but suddenly found himself being followed by one of the smaller players of the team, Mica Bailey. He's one of the main strikers of the team and is cousins to Sean Bailey, one of the main midfielders of the team. Tiger is unsure why Mica has taken a liking to him, but he is able to have Sean interpret whatever Mica wants to tell him, as Mica is mute and communicates in both ASL and BSL.

Oddly enough, Tiger has a rivalry with both Bailey cousins but in different ways. With Mica, he sometimes has a hard time getting the ball to one of his strikers, as the Silver Lions player is quick to intercept and take it back up the field towards the Supa Strikas' goal. With Sean, anytime that Tiger does his Twisting Tornado, Sean is able to take the ball away from Tiger and initiate his own move his team have dubbed as The Irish Storm. The move consists of Sean running around the Supa Strikas midfielders in an infinity loop, moving so fast that it's hard to keep track of him. But the reason he does this is to allow one of the Silver Lions players to blend in while he runs, and take advantage of when Sean passes the ball to them. While he is not always successful in taking the ball from Tiger, he usually marks him when they're on the field.

Despite this, Tiger finds he enjoys the company of the Bailey cousins a lot, especially with watching Sean getting angry about something, and Mica signing things to get his cousin even more angry. Tiger has been teaching himself how to sign ASL to better communicate with Mica, and has been able to find a common ground between him and Sean in the form of model cars. Sean used to be a race car driver, but left the sport to focus on being a mechanic for his own workshop, collecting the little model cars when he can.

Tiger has also found some common ground with the main goalie of the Silver Lions, Fritz Germane, with the two of them being orphans when they were both younger, but having found a family later on. He sometimes goes to the much older goalie to hear how he was adopted and what his life was like with them.

Fate Chapter 03. — New

Roronoa Zoro X OC X Trafalgar Law

The story tells about the encounter between Yuki and the Straw Hat Pirates from different worlds and different eras.

In the evening, you get together with everyone for dinner and talk about a grand carnival that will be held on a certain island. When Luffy heard about the carnival, he took the opportunity to clamor to go there and have fun. Sanji and Chopper happened to have to fill up supplies, so the next destination was there.

Robin knew the destination, she took the opportunity to suggest buying you some daily necessities and clothes. Nami felt a little guilty that she felt sorry for giving you old clothes, but you really didn't mind.

After dinner you helped to sort out the dishes and take them to the kitchen for cleaning. You came to this world, they treated you well but you didn't give them anything in return. Thinking about it was better to start with basic chores first, which was better than idleness.

Washing so many dishes reminds you in the past there were just a few dishes in your own home, but now there are so many as if they were enough for a family. It’s the life you’ve been looking forward to spending with your lively family and friends.

Your family originally had you with your parents, but you were alone in the empty home. You are a little envious everyone always has their parents to accompany and play with them, but you are always alone.

Even if your parents leave Japan to work abroad, they will come home to celebrate your birthday. You are very happy from the bottom of your heart. Since then, you have been looking forward to their return home and reunion every day, but the reality is often cruel.

In the end, there was nothing to wait for. The door to the house was opened by no one but yourself.Recently learned how to cook curry rice and feel very proud of yourself and want to share with them.

Gradually, you discovered that they have not come back in recent years, the phone calls are no longer dialed immediately. The only way to confirm that both parents are still alive is to remit the amount to your account every month. The once-a-year birthday wish suddenly collapsed. .

As time goes by, you gradually no longer have any illusions and expectations. Go to school then come home on time to do your homework, work part-time during holidays, and watch anime or sleep in your free time.

Perhaps these reasons have caused you to become more withdrawn and unwilling to socialize. It may be that you are afraid that the loneliness of separation will be unbearable. Life must go through many setbacks, and you should probably learn to accept or reject them.

In order to numb your emotions, wake up every day and tell yourself must face everything with strength. In fact no one to rely on. Even wanted to seek comfort for a small matter, you see nothing but just an empty space when got home. You could only curl up on the sofa and cry silently.

It's hard to get used to being with the Straw Hat Pirates now. It's so lively and you feel out of place. You have been accustomed to loneliness and suddenly come to a strange but lively world. You are afraid of making the same mistakes again. The moment of happiness will gone again.

"Hey!"

You were jolted out of your thoughts by a shout "Hwah!"

"Why are you looking so sad~" Luffy tilted his head.

"Really?" Luffy saw through it immediately but you still kept smiling.

Luffy just stared at you with a pouted "Hmmmmm..."

"Luffy?" Luffy kept staring at you, and felt a pressure in your heart.

He put his hand on the straw hat smiled brightly, "You are no longer alone!"

You learned from Nami that Luffy is a relatively casual and simple person. He often yells and makes a fuss in a silly manner but is a very reliable person. Although his behavior is very strange, he can inexplicably sense the vulnerability deep in your heart.

"I know." You were so moved by what he said, you almost couldn't hold back your tears.

Luffy seems like a sunny boy who can warm people's hearts. You have to cheer up, you are no longer the lonely person you were before, now you have the Straw Hat Pirates with you.

Luffy left happily after chatting with you. After that you organize all the washed dishes put them in the cupboard one by one. Some large plates are stored in high cabinets. You pull up a chair and stand up, holding several plates placing them carefully.

"Need a help?" Zoro's voice came from behind you.

Thinking that there were still a few plates that you could put away, so you politely refused him, "There's just a little more. It's almost done."

Zoro hadn't left yet just stood at the table with his arms crossed. He actually just heard the conversation between you and Luffy outside the door. He had a vague feeling that Luffy noticed something was wrong with you, and he walked in out of curiosity.

He was purely wishful thinking, and his body followed you unconsciously. He has a premonition that you may appear and disappear at any time, as you said, you may suddenly return to your own world.

He wants to hold on to you and not let go. Once he lets go, you will really disappear from his world. This also means from now on, the two of you will really be friends who can never meet again in different worlds.

He knows very well that he cannot control your appearance, because it is an unknown ability that brings you. He knows that since that ability can bring you, it can take you away at any time.

"I'm done!" You get off the chair.

Your voice brought him back to the present "Oh, good."

"Zoro, are you okay?" You stood in front of him to make sure he was okay.

He took a step back and looked away, "I'm fine."

"Liar. You don't look okay at all." His expression clearly showed that he was uneasy.

He was very annoyed when you poked a sore spot "Tch."

"Zoro...do you have something to say to me?" You don't know if it's your imagination, but you want to know what Zoro is thinking now.

He couldn't help but think about it, but after thinking about it he felt strange. Should he ask or not? He still compromised. He clenched the scabbard in his hand to calm himself, "I want to ask... if have the opportunity to return to your World, will you go back?"

His question poked deep into your heart. You had indeed thought about this question. If you could really make your own choice, what would you choose, whether you would go back or stay.

"You don't need to answer, I'm just asking casually." Zoro noticed that your expression had changed, he think about it and quickly change the subject with you.

Zoro looked a little flustered. You knew in your heart that he wanted to end the topic, but the question he asked was indeed a question that you had to think about and choose. "You are right to ask, it is the question I should be thinking about."

"Oh..." Zoro was a little at a loss because you didn't change the topic.

Zoro gives you the impression he is someone who knows right from wrong. Coupled with his super combat power and keen insight, he is like the strongest support for the entire team.

You believe that he has seen through your inner doubts before asking you this question. You don't hate the fact that he is straightforward and cares about other people's feelings. Getting along with him makes you feel much more at ease.

"If I could choose whether to go back or not...Zoro, as long as you ask me to stay, I will definitely stay." You haven't figured out how to answer yet, so you tell him in a naughty tone.

Zoro's current expression is one of surprise with eyes wide open "Huh!?"

"Hahaha, I'm kidding. I just haven't figured out the answer yet. I'll tell you as soon as I think about it." Zoro's reaction is really cute. You smile and answer your current thoughts.

He didn't know why felt an impulse surge in his heart for a moment, and he told himself to calm down in annoyance. Zoro, who was now in a good mood, just smiled softly and touched your forehead with his finger, "Idiot."

"Hehehe." You continued without saying anything and just laughed in front of him.

"Yuki-chwan~ Do you need my help?~" Sanji wanted to sneak in to take a look at you, but Zoro was there. He immediately rushed over stand between you and Zoro. "Hey! Marimo! You want to do something to Yuki-chwan again? !"

"Huh? What are you talking about again..." Zoro was indeed a little impatient.

You gently moved your fingers on Sanji's shoulders, "I've done the dishes."

Sanji turned around and saw your face so close. His eyes turned into loving hearts and his hands were waving in the air, "Thank you~ Yuki-chwan~ You must have been working very hard today~"

You shook your head, "No. I just want to thank you for hosting me."

Sanji raised your hand and put it under his lips. "No, it's actually just my wishful thinking that I want to be nice to you."

You are not good at dealing with Sanji's personality. You know that he treats you out of kindness. Although you are very happy but is difficult to adapt and strange suddenly have such special treatment.

You want to stop but you don't know how to say it. It would be rude. While you were troubled, Zoro went to the cupboard to get a tall pot and covered Sanji's head to plunge him into darkness.

Zoro pushed Sanji away then grabbed your hand with a wicked smile "Let's go."

"Hahaha..." You were frightened by his actions but amused.

You both fled the kitchen together leaving poor Sanji with a tall pot on his head and yelling "Damn Marimooooooo!"

You escaped to the front of the boat and made sure Sanji didn't catch you. Then you breathed a sigh of relief and found a place to sit down. Thanks to Zoro for saving, otherwise you really don’t know how to refuse.

You two looked at each other, and couldn't help but burst into laughter holding stomachs. Although sorry for Sanji, the scene of the head being covered just now was really hilarious.

After you finished laughing, you sat there stared at the night sky in a daze. It's incredible to be able to look at the sky in the middle of the sea. It's like the sky and the sea are so close but so far away visually.

The vast sky and sea may seem calm and beautiful, they can never erase your feeling of loneliness and helplessness. Frankly speaking, you are actually very scared when you enter another strange world.

Fear is normal. Coming to a strange world, woke up in a sea, suddenly sank into the sea, with a talking reindeer, a singing skeleton and all kinds of weirdos.

The emotions you were holding back surged up in your heart in an instant. You hugged your legs rested your forehead on your knees. You wanted to cry but hold back the tears because Zoro was sitting next to you and didn't want to affect him by your emotion.

Zoro touches you "Are you sleepy?"

You just shake your head.

He is annoyed by the way you are silent now and doesn't understand what he should do. He is not good at comforting and expressing his thoughts. He is more like the type who silently protects people from behind, but now he can only give it a try.

"Erm...the night is particularly beautiful today?" Zoro muttered but so embarrassed by what he said.

You raised your head and looked at him with dumbfounded eyes. Although there were tears in your eyes, what he said caught your attention. You tilted your head and wondered why he suddenly said such embarrassing words.

Zoro was startled and there were tears in your eyes. He was wondering if he had said the wrong thing, but he just said it casually. He scratched his head and couldn't understand.

You wiped your tears "What are you doing?"

"It's nothing. Don't pay attention to me." He relieved his embarrassment and looked at the sky.

You can probably guess from Zoro's reaction that he is not very good at expressing himself. He looks cool and strong, but he is very gentle and considerate, he doesn't show it. You know that he cares about what's going on, and you are really happy.

You smiled slightly, "I'm just a little scared, being in a strange world. Being alone in a world I'm not familiar with..."

Zoro interrupted before you could finish your sentence. "You are no longer alone."

His words moved you to tears. You tried to wipe away your tears but were stopped by Zoro's hand. Instead, he was wiping away your tears. You said nothing and just watched him comfort you with this small gesture.

"Thank you." You simply said.

He took back his hand and faced you, "You might as well tell me..."

You hesitated for a moment. Since everyone is Nakama, it doesn't matter if you tell him. If he wants to listen, let him listen. If he doesn't want to, just go away.

You clasped your hands and pondered for a moment before you started to say, "I miss my parents. I don't know if they miss me."

"Huh?" he asked.

"My parents and I are separated in two places. I am alone in Japan, and they work abroad, so I cannot see them often. I can only contact them by making phone calls."

"But... gradually I can't contact them anymore. I only know that my parents will remit money to me every month. Now I am in this world, I feel very warm. Everybody here who have filled my loneliness."

You looked down at your legs with tears in your eyes and your vision began to blur.

"So whether your parents are still alive, you only know through that thing called remittance..." Zoro doesn't understand what remittance means, but he probably understands you.

You nodded slightly, "Yes. Obviously we are a family but I feel very lonely. So I am very curious whether they will miss me and whether they will be sad when their daughter disappears suddenly."

"I don't know your parents' thoughts or reasons for alienating you. Now we have filled your loneliness, you can enjoy this world start from today on." Zoro crossed his hands and looked at you smile slightly.

You rested your head on his shoulder and closed your eyes "Zoro...you are so gentle."

"Ha!" He was a little embarrassed but not disgusted with you leaned on his shoulder.

"Huh..." A slight snoring sound was heard.

Zoro glanced at you "No way! Did you really fall asleep?!"

He poked your cheek saw that you were not awake. He scratched his head and was worried. He really couldn't do anything to you, he would wait until you were completely asleep before taking you back to the room. He was just chatting with you, but you fell asleep comfortably, leaving him alone in embarrassment.

His clothes expose his chest muscles, he can vaguely feel the warmth of your breath transmitted to him. He pinched his own wrist to suppress the turmoil in his heart. You are just a girl but you can make him feel itchy.

The one-line collar top reveals your fragrant shoulders and collarbones, your hair has a light floral fragrance, and your body moves with the rhythm of your breathing. You looked so innocent sleeping on the shoulder of a beast like him.

"Unsuspecting idiot." He lifted your hair.

Suddenly you rub his shoulder and say, "Zo...ro..."

"Damn...!" He covered his face.

He picked you up while you were sleeping, your face resting on his chest, and he felt the warmth of your breath getting closer and closer. He pushed open your door with his shoulder, walked in, gently and carefully placed you on the bed.

"Cute sleeping face." He poked your cheek several times.

When he stood up to leave the room, he heard "Zo...ro..." It was you moaning.

He sighed loudly and walked to your bedside pull up a chair and sit down. Your unsuspecting and innocent appearance aroused a burning desire in his heart. He clenched his fists told himself to calm down.

But he finally couldn't bear the feeling of saying his name from your mouth. He slowly stood up held your hand. His slowly came closer to your lips. He realize that your face was close and really beautiful at first glance.

When he couldn't resist the urge in his heart and wanted to kiss you secretly, you suddenly turned over and slept on the other side. He was fortunate realize that he almost made a mistake to you and immediately fell into embarrassment.

"What the hell am I doing..." He stood up and stood by the door, holding the doorknob.

After he calms down, leaves your room and goes outside to relax. He went to the kitchen get a bottle of wine and find Franky who was guarding at night. He sat down and started drinking heavily. He almost kissed you by mistake just now, but luckily he controlled it.

"Can't you sleep?" Franky adjusted his robot hand.

He put down the wine"Well, drink some wine so that can sleep better."

"What's wrong with you? Your ears are a little red. Do you have a fever?" Franky pointed to his ears.

"A little drunk." He said Franky casually.

Franky became suspicious and found it hard to believe, "You drunk?"

Zoro realized that he seemed have said the wrong thing, he chose to avoid the question and continued drinking his wine. Franky vaguely noticed something was wrong with Zoro, but he ignored it and continued to do his own thing.

As time passed little by little, it was already morning time. You was tired from getting used to the new environment and cleaning yesterday so slept for a long time, longer than usual.

Someone was running in the corridor, and the sound was getting closer to your room. Luffy opened your door and shouted, "Get up! Breakfast!"

You don't feel very angry when you wake up just your face looks bad every time you wake up. You lifted the quilt and sat up from the bed, glaring at Luffy who was standing there with a silly smile. Your eyes were sharp, but Luffy felt a fierce aura coming towards from you.

"Bye!" Then he ran away without closing the door.

You looked around realized there was your soft bed in your room, but why was the wooden chair next to your bed? It was obviously placed next to the wardrobe. Maybe you pulled it over yesterday and forgot about it.

You get out of bed leave the room and look up to see a clear sky with the sun shining brightly. The sun is not that close to you at home, but now you feel that the sun here is really bright.

Because the sun was very dazzling, you covered your eyes with hands and went to look for other companions. You see Ussop, Chopper and Luffy hanging out together. Robin sat alone and read a book silently.

You walked up to Robin, she patted the empty space with her hand to signal you sit down. You sat down and opened your mouth to yawn. You admired Luffy for being so energetic and lively so early.

"Oh, didn't you get enough sleep?" Robin closed the book.

"I'm not used to waking up early~" You yawned and fell asleep on her shoulder.

Robin looked at your behavior this morning and snickered, "Hehehe, so cute."

She continues to read her book quietly without disturbing you. Nami greeted everyone before walking towards where you and Robin were. Nami sat next to you and leaned back in the chair, chatting quietly with Robin.

"Such a soft face!" Nami poked your cheek gently.

Robin laughed "Hehehe."

"The hair is so messy. This little girl must not have combed her hair when she woke up." Nami ran her fingers through your hair.

Robin waved "Nami..."

Nami understood Robin's idea and nodded.

The two of them secretly used a comb and hair tie to create a new hairstyle for you while you were still asleep. Brook and Sanji came around to join in the fun.

You vaguely felt many eyes staring at you, making you uncomfortable. You opened your eyes slightly saw Chopper sitting on your lap. You were surprised why Sanji had love eyes and Brook covered his mouth with hands.

You felt a cool breeze blowing on your neck. You didn't remember that you had your hair tied up when you went out. Robin and Nami were sitting next to you and kept smiling. Did they do something to your hair?

Chopper took out a mirror for you to look at, and you saw a double braid look. You were not good at braiding hairstyles, so you simply tied a ponytail every day. Now you liked the new look very much.

"Nami! Robin! Thank you!" You smiled.

Robin smiled slightly and said, "As long as you like it."

Nami likes "Let's us braid your hair from now on~"

"It suits you very well~Yuki-chwan~" Sanji praised you with loving eyes.

You looked in the mirror and stroked your braided hair. The two of them were really good at creating such complicated styles. You saw Zoro coming over with a yawn, and you handed the mirror back to Chopper.

Zoro yawned "Hwahh~ Why are you gathering here?"

"What do you think of Yuki's hairstyle?" Ussop pointed at you.

He glanced at you and held out his hand with a chuckle, "Yeah, it fits."

"Hehehe" you smiled and let him stroke your hair.

"Hey~ I saw the island!" Franky informed the two of you who were chatting.

Luffy immediately jumped up "Yahoooooo~Island~"

You looked the direction of an island pointed by Franky. Ussop handed you a telescope to let you see more clearly. Through the telescope, you saw many ships docked at the island's pier.

There are a lot of colorful decorations on the pier, which is a custom of the island's carnival. You put away telescope and prepare for the fun time to come with anticipation and excitement.

Zoro stood behind saw you and Chopper looking very expectant and excited. He was secretly happy. To be honest, he was really looking forward to arriving at the island as soon as possible. Maybe it was your reason that infected him.

To Be Continued—

Chris Brookes (c) vs. Shuji Ishikawa (DDT New Year, New Hero 2025)

I thought I "knew" how this match was going to go.

The more I consume wrestling, the more I find myself stuck in this idea of "knowing" the outcome of a match. It's like one of the most special things about the sport, because in the supposed predictability a match could get, you find somewhat of an unexpected outcome. To me, saying wrestling is scripted takes from the dramatic nature of a match in which you actually don't know what's going to happen.

Yes, you can argue wrestling is indeed scripted, but you don't know said script at all, you just try to understand it and see where does it go from point A to point B. You can predict the outcome of a story and see if you can connect all the dots, but you'll never "know" how a match will develop.

As there are examples of matches falling down piece by piece like a house of cards, there are examples of matches that understand you're taking them for granted and show you how wrong you can be, succeeding in their mission, as you watch your screen thinking "Well, that was awesome."

That's the appeal of a "match" to me in terms of telling a story. Yes, I know this is scripted, but predicting the outcome of a match to me is a great way to see how a match treats suspension of disbelief and how does it make you feel a part of it.

If you read this blog, it's no secret DDT is one of my favorite promotions. I made various reviews of DDT matches that gave its flowers to a company that to me stands out as the best example of what "modern" pro wrestling should be in all of its glory, and this match I bring you today is a great example of this I'm preaching.

Chris Brookes vs. Shuji Ishikawa is built around the idea of Ishikawa being this big, mean monster that will surely take Brookes by storm.

A similar idea was the backbone of that fantastic King of DDT final between Kazusada Higuchi & the current KO-D Openweight Champion. While this is enough to catch my eye, the implications of this match for Brookes were big, if not immense.

If you don't know what happened with Ishikawa these last months, I can give you a quick recap.

Ishikawa left All Japan Pro Wrestling and entered a DDT built around junior-heavyweights. A DDT that had just lost Yusuke Okada, Yukio Sakaguchi and Yuji Hino but had both Brookes and Yuki Ueno as flag bearers of a new era in the company, seconded by the oh so charming and charismatic stable of 37KAMIINA.

Ueno, as former KO-D Openweight Champion, had his reality check when he faced Shinya Aoki, a legit shooter that made him understand the flaws around his game and humiliated him in both a technical sense and a psychological sense. Ueno's defeat was something unexpected to me, but the more Aoki continued his title reign, I understood the purpose of it.

Therefore, when taking into consideration that both Ueno and Brookes were the flag bearers of the company, and both had careers certainly connected to one or each other, the idea of the same scenario happening was at least intriguing. DDT tends to work like that. When a champion faces every talent in the company or at least every single potential threat to his title reign, a new contender emerges and dethrones him.

For me, Ishikawa was that guy. It was not only his in-ring prowess that made me contemplate the idea of a KO-D reign from him, but other things like another match with HARASHIMA on the horizon, or Ueno's redemption being beating this big bad monster in Judgement or something like that.

I never considered Brookes as a legit threat to Ishikawa.

And this is what I meant when I brought out the idea of "knowing" the outcome of a match. When a match shuts you up and makes you doubt if you know anything about wrestling is when said match hits a higher level, and when you can actually believe what you're looking at. Brookes is no stranger to these kinds of showings.

As I said before, the King of DDT final in 2023 is a great example of this type of matches where he just gets destroyed but continues fighting, while bloody and battered. A type of match where you just don't see the miracle of Brookes actually winning, and you just simply accept what will come.

I think Brookes has been fantastic for a while, and some people will still refuse to give him his flowers because of some things he does that don't align with people's tastes in wrestling, but to me, it's all about the heart and the emotions he evokes. He's definitely one of the best foreign wrestlers in Japan right now, but the work he's been putting on DDT has been nothing but outstanding to me.

If you didn't realize by now, I love this match. Ishikawa is great as always, but Brookes pushes all the right buttons to make you believe he's actually going to defeat this monster standing in front of him. In the first minutes of this match, Brookes' offense is useless against Ishikawa, who using his brutal headbutts puts him in a hurry over and over. The size difference also tells a story of Brookes' natural and evident limitations against his opponent.

He may be tall, but he's not as powerful as Ishikawa, so he has to pull every trick out of his book and stand against everything that gets thrown at him. This match is violent and aggressive, but I don't think it's necessary to clarify this when you consider the hardcore aspect surrounding it too, because yes, this is also a hardcore match, and a great example of the stories you can tell when bringing weapons into the equation. It seems like this match hits all the strides, and maybe it does because if not, I wouldn't write this. Brookes' victory feels satisfying in a way few matches make me feel.

Because it's not just about the idea of him winning, but him overcoming the odds and the presumed idea he's going to fail, welcoming a new year, and standing tall as DDT's new hero.

~My Thoughts on Wonderful Precure: Episodes 21-25~

~~~🎀~~~🎀~~~🎀~~~

~~~🎀~~~🎀~~~🎀~~~

Episode 21 - Mayu and Yuki’s School Life:

I loved this episode! It was so funny!

As expected, Yuki’s good at pretty much everything in school. I wonder if there’s gonna be anything she’s not good at. Maybe there’ll be an episode surrounding that.

I just about died when she tried squeezing into Mayu’s chair, and then tried getting that kid to move out of his, so she could sit next to her. She clearly doesn’t get how assigned seats work. But I guess she’s content enough with having to sit behind Mayu instead.

The whole embroidery thing was super cute. I love how Mayu’s kind of teaching Komugi and Iroha how to do it. Also, I just wanna brag that I knew exactly what the girls were trying to embroider, even though it looked terrible😌.

As a little critique, I thought the whole “backstory” about Mayu and her old friend was really random. It just came out of nowhere, with almost no foreshadowing whatsoever. Yuki treated it like some big, serious thing, but I feel like it’s probably not gonna be mentioned again.

Next, I just wanna take a moment to gush over the “Nyanderful Precure” part. I was really hoping that would happen! I wonder what Satoru and Daifuku would say when if they become Pretty Cures. I don’t know what sound rabbits make in Japan.

I like how the first thing Cure Nyammy does with a Kirarin Animal’s power, is turning Cure Wonderful into a tire. Just thought that was funny. She didn’t bother turning herself into one. Nope, just Komugi.

We also got a new animation for Lillian and Nyammy for calling the animals home. Though, I wonder if they’re using Wonderful and Friendy’s suitcase, or if they got their own and we didn’t see.

Overall, I loved this episode! I can’t wait for the next one!

My Rating for This Episode:

8/10 - B-

Episode 22 - Wonderful Go!:

This episode wasn’t my favorite. I’m not a fan of sports/athletics episodes. But it was still alright. I mean, it was super cute. So it couldn’t be awful.

I was a bit confused on how Komugi didn’t understand Iroha’s first commands, because she understands human language perfectly. And she usually obeys every other time. But I guess it was just for the sake of the plot.

It was pretty cool how in sync Wonderful and Friendy were during battle. The platforms were a nice idea too. And it’s great how even though this episode was focused on them, Nyammy and Lillian still got plenty of screen time. They even did the finishing attack.

Lastly, I just wanna express how excited I am for next week’s episode! The festival episodes are always some of my favorites. I love seeing all the pretty yukata designs, and the cute hairstyles! Komugi looked absolutely precious in the preview, and Yuki looked so beautiful!

My Rating for This Episode:

5/10 - F

Episode 23 - Making Wishes, Wao~~~~~n:

I always love the festival episodes. They’re always so fun! And this one was no exception!

Everyone’s outfits were so cute! Komugi’s was definitely my favorite. Precure always puts so much care into designing yukatas for their characters. Well… except for Satoru, I guess. His was so plain.

Mayu’s mom finding out that Yuki can turn human was disappointingly underwhelming. I was expecting her to be overjoyed, but she was so casual about it. But oh well, at least she accepts her.

We also got some foreshadowing to Daifuku becoming a Cure(hopefully)! According to Yuki, he’s no ordinary rabbit! And of course, we also got some cute little crush moments from Satoru. The part where he helped Iroha with her sandals was so sweet!

Also, all the Kirarin Animals are back! But it seems something else is coming…

I hope we get some real villains soon! Maybe then, the Pretty Cure will actually start fighting!

Lastly, I gotta talk about the new ending.

It was so good!

I can’t decide if I like this one better, or the first one. The song is just so cute and upbeat! And it sounds so unique compared to all the others! It is a bit sad that they got rid of the expensive models though..

I wonder how they’ll add the midseasons to it. Maybe, we’ll get a whole new song entirely? Though that’s probably just wishful thinking…

My Rating for This Episode:

9/10 - A-

Episode 24 - A Very Strange Egg:

This episode was alright. Not my favorite, but it was good!

First thing I wanna get out of the way is that I had no idea Niko-sama was a girl. I always thought of her as a boy haha. Not that it matters, but I was just shocked for a second.

I’m very curious as to what Niko-sama will look like. Judging by the horn on the egg, it’s clear she’ll be at least a bit unicorn-like. But Mey-Mey said that there are no other animals like her, so she might be completely unique. Although, unicorns don’t exist, so she might just be one. But at the same time, horses are almost identical. Hmm.

I was super excited that the egg only lit up once everyone was touching it, including Satoru and Daifuku! Hopefully this is a sign of them becoming Cures! Also, it’s super weird how the egg keeps teleporting to Iroha’s house. I wonder why it does that…

Next, I’m gonna mention the new version of the ending! We got a Nyammy and Lillian duet! I really like it. It’s very sassy and cool!

I’m not super excited for the next episode. It’s clearly a beach filler episode, which I’m not a fan of. But I do have to say this: Komugi’s swimsuit is adorable! I want it for myself!

My Rating for This Episode:

6/10 - D-

Episode 25 - Summer! Beach! Homework!:

Just as I suspected, this episode was just filler. But it was still alright.

I really liked the design of the girls’ swimsuits! I want to own all of them! Well… except for Satoru’s. Did the designers even try with his outfits?

I surprisingly learned quite a bit about sea turtles. I didn’t know that the temperature could determine the gender! Thanks, Satoru!

I found it pretty odd how the focus and drama all of a sudden shifted to Mayu and Yuki during battle. It just felt really random. The drama was really laid on thick too. It really wasn’t all that necessary.

All in all, this episode was fine. But I hope the next one will be better.

Shinobu Sensui and Suguru Geto are both characters in my top 3 villains list which makes sense due to the fact that they're both so similar, in fact Gege Akutami has admited to being inspired by Sensui when creating Geto. However, I find myself liking them for different reasons.

With Geto what I like most about him is his relationship to Gojo and his fall to evil. When we first see Geto (at least not Psuedo-Geto/Kenjaku) it's in JJK 0, we see him at possibly the height of evilness: he hates non-sorcerers to the point of calling them all "monkeys" therefore disregarding them all as uncivilized yet he benefits off their money, in fact he hates them so much that on Christmas Eve he starts the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons which results in the death and injuries of multiple civilians in Japan and despite not hating them he's willing to kill Yuta, Panda, and Inumaki to achieve his goal of getting Rika to succeed in the Night Parade of 100 Demons (keep in mind he considers Maki to be a "monkey") But we also see that he was close to Gojo and in a way is still friendly to him, he doesn't seem to consider him as an enemy per say just someone in the way of achieving his goal. Not to mention we do see that Geto isn't entirely evil and does care for sorcerers with his two "daughters"(forget their names right now)

Sure all the things I mentioned above are interesting and are good for villain but if Geto was only in JJK 0 I don't see him making my top 5 Villains list.

What makes me put Geto in my top 3 villains lost is seeing his fall in the Hidden Inventory Arc. We see at the start of this arc that Geto's ideals are a complete 180 of how they were in JJK 0, instead of hating them, he believes that non sorcerers need to be and should be protected by sorcerers. We see the peak of his and Gojos relationship as well. However, as the arc progresses we get to see his decline. When he and Gojo are tasked with protecting and escorting the star plasma vessel, Riko to Tengen we see how the care for making her last day on special while protecting her from everyone trying to kill her. It even gets to the point where Geto gives Riko the choice to continue living her life and she is about to accept the offer but then she's killed by Toji Fushiguro, a man with no cursed energy. What further hammers the nail is when Geto and Gojo are carrying Rikos dead body and the entire crowd reacts with applause.

It then time skips to a year later, Gojo is only getting stronger, Shoko is a healer, but Geto isn't progressing at all and he's clearly in a bad mental state, He goes around absorbing curses which from what we're told taste terrible. We see his conversation with Haibara and how his ideals match Getos at the start of the arc and how Geto wishes he could go back to thinking that way. His conversation with Yuki further causes him to believe all non-sorcerers have to be removed. Then there's the conversation at the KFC(?) with Gojo the every famous "Are you the strongest because you're Saturo Gojo or are tou Saturo Gojo because you're the strongest." line. This conversation clearly has a deep impact on Gojo and he doesn't want Geto to go down this path. The final thing that hammers the nail into the coffin is how his "daughters" (again forget theor names and ik they're not biologically related) were being treated in their village.

As for Sensui, while his fall to evil is certainly interesting that wasn't what made his my favorite anime villain of all time. What I personally find more interesting is his parallel to Yusuke, his inability to realize the grey between the black and white, his refusal to truly believe the fact that it's him Shinobu Sensui doing all of these bad things therefore making different personalities just to runaway from it, his searching for a meaningful death especially after having only 2 weeks left to live, how the "fake" Sensui Seven represents the 7 deadly sins, and how the "real" Sensui Seven represents the 7 deadly sins.

In short I love both of these characters especially as villains and think they're amazing written. I also want to note that whenever I referring to my "top villains" I meant anime villains, I personally like villains such as Bane, Two-Face, Darth Maul, and Darth Vader a bit more but both Sensui and Geto are in my top ten villains of all time list. If you want to know the other villain in my top 3 anime vilalins it's Cell, certainly not as well written as the other two but I think he has a cool concept and love how he is the embodiment of a perfectionist complex

October 10: Pregnancy Kink (Hatori Soma) ❤️

Warnings: Mostly just fluff

Copyright: I do not own Hatori Soma or other Fruits Basket characters. I also do not condone this being copied.

Hatori Soma was the doctor of the main Soma family. You'd met at the cultural festival at your school when he had come to check on Yuki- who had skipped his appointment. You'd always been interested by the tall, brooding, indigo-eyed man.

Of course, you knew of the Soma secret and them being cursed by the Zodiac animals, so you weren't surprised to find out he was a member of the zodiac. Nor were you surprised that he was an animal as fearsome as the dragon. Although, having the form of a seahorse was definitely a surprise.

The two of you had gotten along well, despite Hatori's attempts to get you and Tohru away from the Soma family. But he was really just trying to protect the two of you from Akito's rath.

But then, Tohru had freed the zodiac members of their curse and they no longer belonged to God and that was when you and Hatori discovered that you had a mutual love for each other.

Which then led to where you were at the moment.

You were standing in the kitchen, baking one of your favorite cookie recipes, as they had become a rather unhealthy part of your pregnancy cravings. You weren't really supposed to have a lot of sugar or sweets in general, but the carvings were just to strong to try and avoid them.

Hatori was at work at the moment. Though he no longer treated the Soma family, he still kept up his practice in a small office that was about twenty-five minutes away from the small house that the two of you shared in southern Japan.

You hummed as you baked, and then read in the living room on your back as you waited for the oven to finish its job.

You were pulling the cookies out, just in time for Hatori to come home to smell them. He knew better than to taste them though. They were all yours. But that was fine. He wasn't a huge fan of sweets anyways- though he'd eat anything you made for him.

He put his bag down, hanging his white lab coat up on the hook in the front hallway. It left him in his black vest, white button up shirt, and black slacks. All of it tight fitting to his body, showing off his thin, muscular stature. You analyzed every part of him, drinking him in. You hoped that dinner was a very quick affair.

Hatori smiled when he saw you, sliding his glasses into the pocket of his lab coat, making a bee line straight towards you.

As always, the first thing he did was kiss you, his hands soft on your cheeks as he tilted your head back so that he could bend down to kiss you. Slowly he trailed his hands over your shoulders and down your arms before he knelt, kissing the bump of your stomach. He placed his hand on your stomach now, waiting patiently until the baby inside of you kicked his hand lightly. A smile of joy came over Hatori's face, lighting up his eyes, effectively making you smile. Whenever Hatori was happy, you were happy.

You were about six moths now and Hatori absolutely loved your body. I mean, he always loved your body, but there was something about seeing you so pregnant- pregnant with his child- and it excited him to no end.

Maybe it was because under the curse, he never thought he would get a wife, much less a child and family. Maybe it was because Akito had conditioned him that he would always be alone and without love. Maybe it was simply because Hatori was deeply in love with you, your body, and your future child. Maybe it was about the fuller breasts that had milk flowing through them, and the way that your waist filled out. But one way or another, seeing you pregnant was a huge turn-on for him, and you knew it.

"How was work doc?" You asked, running your fingers through his inky black hair before he stood up. He turned your body slowly so that he could hold you straight against his back, resting his chin on the top of your head.

"It was slow." He whispered, his extremely sexy voice sending shivers through your body just from listening to it. "I couldn't wait to come back home to you."

You rested against his tall form, closing your eyes. "I'm glad you're home. I missed you."

Hatori kissed your cheek. "Have you eaten? I want to go upstairs now."

You smiled, wondering if you should tease him or go with the flow. Nah, you'd go with the flow for this one. After all, you still had plenty more months of being pregnant. There was no reason to tease him tonight.

You would save that for the weekend.

IIRC, there was an F1 interview in which Yuki was almost attacked by a wolf when he was back home in Japan?

He manages to elude that wolf but then comes across another wolf (this time bipedal and quite anthro) who collapses and shifts back to a guy with wolf ears, furry paws and a fluffy tail. He has to drag the wolfman back to his home and helps him get patched up.

Meanwhile his packmates, Charles and Esteban are freaking out over the disappearance of Pack Leader Pierre Gasly.

Considering native wolves in Japan are now extinct, I would think Yuki probably met a regular Eurasian wolf

Werewolf Pierre would be hella confused as to how he got to a random civilian's house and said civilian (Yuki) is treating his wounded, tending to him until he's back in full health. Pierre would ask questions about what happened and Yuki would just say he doesn't know much except he [Pierre] collapsed in the middle of the forest.

Meanwhile, Charles and Esteban go into their wolf forms and track Pierre down by scent, only to find him in a random human's house on the outskirts of the city...

Horror Movie of the day: Kwaidan (1964)

What are ghosts? How do they manifest when show up? It could be in the guilt of a samurai, who left his wife in order to advance his position by remarrying to the daughter of an important family only to try and come back to his lost love. It could be a woodcutter's fear after surviving an encounter with the Yuki Onna, woman of snow, in the condition he keeps this encounter to himself. Maybe it's in the strange aura the Emperor has when asking a blind musician to perform for him in an univiting court. Or maybe, they could be found in the distorted reflection a warrior sees in his cup of tea. These are the stories from the beyond.

Directed by Masaki Kobayashi and based on a collection of traditional stories compilled by Lafcadio Hearn, this is arguably still the ultimate ghost anthology to ever come out of Japan. It quite intelligently favors the psychological angle for the characters who experience the stories, which enhances the illogic and fright of the supernatural terrors they face while also landing them exquisite thematic depth. It's a set of four separate strong scripts that could survive even with lesser visuals.

That isn't to say the movie isn't a visual treat, however. With a lavish production design, it isn't afraid of playing loose with the visual realism where it finds it fitting, using fairly obvious but strongly expressionistic set designs where the backgrounds are clearly painted. And since all these are traditional folkloric stories, this aesthetic qurik lends them a theatre-like quality as if you were watching a Noh play, while also having some absolutely STELLAR cinematography and a breathtaking color palette that fits the mood of each story.

It's on the long end with a little over three hours of runtime, but this just means every story gets it's proper due and it's all the more worthy for it. This isn't just a horror classic, it's an absolute must watch for any enthusiast of the art of cinema.

ஐ . By now, Han was already near sobbing. It wasn't an unfamiliar sight for 4luvs who have attended Lucky concerts before, but with the 10 year milestone right in front of them, it was even more emotional than usual. He thanked 4luvs for sticking with him, but he couldn't say much through the tears.

ஐ . The group ended the ment with a long group hug. They faced the crowd again, lowered their mics, and shouted "I LOVE YOU" into the arena as loud as they could, a tradition started when they were performing in much smaller venues, wanting their fans to hear those words directly from their mouths.

NEW WAVE

ஐ . Their final performance of their most beloved song focused less on the choreography and more on walking around to interact with fans and have fun !

So the post on Yuki's name practically confirms real world languages exists in this comic.

Are we going to see a Spanish speaking character?

How is language organized in this Universe? Are regions sections of a larger country? I mean I know it's implied Kalos and Galar are close to each other, and they're based on France and Britain respectively, but are countries named differently?

Even though Kanto is based off Japan, is English commonly spoken in that region? Is it very far away from Sinnoh? Makes sense that Akito would name his Froslass "Ice", since most wouldn't notice (except ol' Nagiza).

Am I thinking this too hard? Probably.

I’m so glad someone asked this so I could explain from the get go x3

Yes, there’s real life languages in this, and they do have the exact same names they have irl, but that’s mostly because I don’t want to rename them, nor lose what each region is based on, but! This doesn’t mean the real countries exist in this world.

Allow me to explain.

Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh are based on Japan, and therefore, Japanese is a first language there; same with all the other regions: French in Kalos, Spanish and Portuguese in Paldea, etc. For the canon of this comic, every single person on all regions also speak fluent English, take it as a universal language; and this is non other for the reason that I wanted to do this comic in English, simple as that ^^

I want to keep how pokemon always bases its regions on specific locations on earth, but treat them just how they do: is based on, has certain similitudes, but is still a fictional world. “It is based on japan but is not Japan.” Which is why sometimes you’ll see names based on the regions a character is from (Nagiza being from Kanto and Akito being from Sinnoh), but even then, you can see the mistake on Nagiza’s name: the real Japanese word and name is “Nagisa” with an “s”; I named her with a “z” by mistake years ago, and now decided to keep it as an example of my point exactly. And heck, I’m still gonna keep the names 4kids gave to other characters when bringing the anime to this sides, like “Gary Oak”.

As for if we’ll see a Spanish speaking character around, yeah, maybe :0 Spanish is my first language, and if there’s a language I’m confident in pulling up good enough is that one ^^ tho, it may be just secondary characters or… heh, ok, gonna keep this reply spoiler free.

As for the regions, I’m trying to stick to what we have seen so far: we know that Ash takes a plane to go from Kanto to Hoenn and Alola; while in-game, we can travel from Paldea to Kitakami (another clearly based on Japan) by freaking bus! You can’t travel from Spain to Japan by bus xD this gives me enough creative liberties to play with how far away each region is from one another; I don’t plan to make a full map of it, but only time will tell.

And to end this:

TL;DR: just like Pokemon, it’s based on real earth locations, but is still a fictional word. In the end, it’s all fiction.
