Becoming A Purple People Eater……….

Goodbye to the Blue Belt and Hello to the Responsibility……..

On December 9. 2023, it happened. The moment I dreamed of and the moment I feared all at once. Class was over and they sent us to sit. There’s anticipation in the air. Everyone is wondering why we are being directed to sit. This is jiu jitsu after all and promotions tend to come in seasons. My time had already come in September, I received my third stripe on my blue belt. I was happy as could be with that particular stripe because I know they judge harshly at my gym nothing is given, everything earned. I learned this the hard way being wondering aloud if my third stripe on my belt is the result of nepotism. When I made this statement on my blog I was told, with no hesitation or confusion, that I was not above the art. That my professor/ great friend does not care about my feelings above the art. That nothing was ever given without being earned that he wouldn’t tarnish the brand of the gym or the art itself to protect my feelings from how badly I suck. So, with that said I wasn’t due in my opinion.

Now when promotions are announced there is always an air of, who’s due? Who’s ready? And, this guy is long overdue. I love promotion day. Not because of me improving or expecting a promotion. I secretly enjoy being undervalued. I like sandbagging. I like being undersold. I like underselling and over delivering. I love to see promotions because I feel like in the gym on those mats is the only place where hard work is actually acknowledged, where putting in the work is a real thing. Where someone comes to test them against genuine resistance and see where they are. They are hard fought and rarely are they given without them being truly deserving.

With all of this said I was not overdue. I was not ready. I wasn’t not “sandbagging,” I was a decent blue belt. Now when someone gets promoted a bit early like myself they often say, “they will grow into the belt.” Well, I’m in my growing phase. This belt has a lot of stigma to it if the YouTube videos I watch are to be believed. The clichés you hear are this, “this is the first advanced belt,” “a modern-day purple belt is as good as a 1990s black belt because the game has expanded so much,’ or my favorite cliché, which is, “if the professor gives you a purple belt that means he believes one day you will receive your black belt.” Well if those things are to be believed then I am feeling the pressure. There’s level to this game. Some purple belts can consistently submit black belts when they are elite at some aspect of their game, let’s say something like leglocks. Some purple belts compete frequently and are superior athletes. Then there’s me chubby 40-year dad of 2 with a job who works a lot of overtime. I also have an ego. I like to win and do well as much as anyone. So, there is that desire and drive to improve because for once something is actually expected of me. Here’s what my best is for what happened……

I went on a jiu jitsu retreat by a miracle. Someone couldn’t make it and I was allowed to take their spot. It was an incredible experience. I did miss my family but the trip was unbelievably worth it. Amazing food, people and experiences so much wildlife. Most importantly while I was there I got to experience rolling with my professor for the first time. It went exactly as expected. He destroyed me with such ease it felt like we weren’t doing the same martial art. I was dying and he was relaxed just moving and playing. I have no idea what he saw during that roll. I have no idea what he saw in me upon return from Costa Rica either but he felt I was working and decided it was time. How in the hell am I going to question him? I am unworthy of questioning his judgment at all so here I am with the weight of his decision looking into the future, hoping to never disappoint him. That’s the pressure or purple and role I have as a 40-year old.

Then there’s the role I love, the teacher. I love when I understand something really well and can explain it proficiently. Now, I have no illusions of owning a school one day. I don’t plan on being a legendary competitor that began in his 40s somehow. I don’t have a wrestling background no matter how much I wish I did. No judo and I’m not Brazilian. My whole goal is to one day be good enough to teach. That’s it. Nothing more nothing less. I’m returning from injury and being out for 6 weeks. So, here I am returning to the mats after a hiatus ready to get after it. Looking to get better, looking to not be someone’s rest round, looking to be worthy of the belt. Brown is off in the distance, I am not in any rush. So, let’s lift up our glasses and toast to purple.

Physical Fitness and Military Training: The Core of Maharashtra’s Defense Academies

Physical fitness and military training play roles, in shaping the defenders of our nation. In Maharashtra defence academies are more than institutions; they are crucibles where young individuals undergo experiences that mould them into strong disciplined and resilient individuals ready to serve their country with unwavering dedication. Among these academies Trimurti Pawan Pratishthan stands out by emphasising the role of fitness in the overall development of its cadets.

The Significance of Physical Fitness:

Physical fitness serves as the foundation for any training program. It goes beyond appearance and encompasses strength, endurance, agility and mental toughness. The defense academies in Maharashtra understand that a fit and healthy body is not just desirable but necessary for soldiers who may face challenging and demanding environments. Physical fitness enhances the effectiveness and operational capability of our forces.

Military Training; Going Beyond Physicality:

Military training extends beyond exercises; it takes a holistic approach to instill discipline, leadership skills, teamwork abilities and a strong sense of duty. The defense academies, in Maharashtra acknowledge the importance of nurturing rounded individuals who possess not physical capabilities but also mental resilience and moral integrity.

Cadets undergo training programs that equip them with the skills to overcome challenges, foster strategic reasoning and demonstrate unwavering dedication to the principles of honor, courage and duty.

Maharashtra’s Defense Academies: A Breeding Ground for Future Leaders:

Trimurti Pawan Pratishthan, one of Maharashtra’s prominent defence academies, stands as a testament to the state’s commitment to producing exceptional leaders for the armed forces. The academy places a strong emphasis on physical fitness, viewing it as the bedrock upon which the character and capabilities of its cadets are built.

The academy’s approach to military training integrates physical fitness seamlessly into its curriculum. Cadets are exposed to a variety of physical challenges, ranging from obstacle courses to endurance training, ensuring they develop the stamina and resilience required for the demands of military service. This comprehensive training regimen at Trimurti Pawan Pratishthan ensures that cadets not only meet the physical standards but exceed them, setting a benchmark for excellence.

Conclusion: In conclusion, physical fitness and military training are inseparable elements in the journey of preparing individuals for the challenges of defence service. Maharashtra’s defence academies, with Trimurti Pawan Pratishthan at the forefront, understand the importance of cultivating not just strong bodies but disciplined minds and resilient spirits. As the cadets’ graduate from these institutions, they carry with them the legacy of rigorous training, a commitment to service, and a profound sense of duty towards their nation. Trimurti Pawan Pratishthan continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the future defenders of Maharashtra and, by extension, the entire nation. Through its dedication to physical fitness and military training, the academy stands as a beacon of excellence, producing leaders who are not only physically fit but also mentally and morally prepared for the challenges that lie ahead.

Mixing Martial Arts

Some martial arts combine grappling and striking techniques.

A skilled martial artist is probably an expert in eiher striking or grappling, but also has basic skills in the other.

Investing a Fantasy Martial Art

Spiritual Elements connected to the general magic/religious system of your story world.

Mental Focus that allows the martial artist to amplify the effectiveness of attacks.

Small rituals, like bowing to the guru before and after every fight to obtain some kind of "blessing"

Aoyama's Let's Talk Day 2025 Translation [Unofficial Sources]

Yesterday was Aoyama’s yearly Let’s Talk Day, a day when a lucky few audience members chosen by lottery have the chance to ask him questions. While the Q&A hasn’t yet been officially released, I’ve translated tweets about the questions asked. I can’t guarantee that they’re 100% trustworthy, but generally most questions were posted by multiple unrelated users.

In cases where different users reported slightly different answers for the same question, I consolidated them to the best of my ability. All source tweets at the end. Without further ado: 

Q. When Gin travels to other countries, does he stay at hotels, or does he have safe houses? I want to know whether he uses hotel-provided amenities like bathrobes.  

A. He sleeps in his car or stays at Organization-provided lodging- the Organization has apartments all over the place. He does also stay at hotels. The FBI still hasn’t discovered them. He does wear bathrobes! He has long hair so I imagine it’s tough to wash.

Q. What sports does the England-born Akai play aside from Jeet Kune Do?

A. He learnt Jeet Kune Do from his father, so has no interest in sports other than that. But I think he might be good at cricket since he’s English. Maybe baseball in America.

Q. Does Hiro have any experience with martial arts?

A. He learnt some at the police academy. He has no other experience, but he’s decently strong- weaker than Kyogoku though.

Q. As you were a guest on Kōhaku Uta Gassen [T/N: A music show that traditionally airs around New Year’s in Japan] this year, do you have plans to write a case based around it?

A. I doubt NHK would let me (haha) I did think a music show case might be fun, but they’d probably still bother me about it.

[Questioner: What if you changed the name? Like, a West vs. East tournament.]

I’ll think about it.

Q. Will the Kuroba family and Kudo family meet each other in the future?

A. Is that something you want to see? I’ll think about it.

Q. What will Momiji do now that Heiji and Kazuha are dating?

A. I don’t think Momiji will give up? She’ll do her best.

Q. How can you think up so many different characters?

A. I don’t know (haha) Maybe because I’ve seen lots of different manga, dramas, and movies. 

[Questioner: So they just pop up in your mind.]

Something like that.

Q. Do you plan to write a story where Chihaya and Furuya meet?

A. Ah, so Chihayafuru, you mean (haha) It sounds interesting, so I’ll think about it.

Q. What can you tell us about this year’s movie at this point?

A. When I told Rikiya Koyama [T/N: Mouri’s VA] that Kogoro is the main character this year, he told me he was nervous. Once he was done, Takayama-san [T/N: Conan’s VA] told him he sounded cool. 

Q. What’s the best part of this year’s movie?

A. I can’t say, but I think you’ll be shocked.

Q. What’s your favourite case so far?

A. Ran GIRL & Shinichi BOY. I love it.

Q. How did Kogoro manage to become a detective without deductive abilities?

A. He doesn’t have deductive abilities, but he’s good at shooting and judo. And he has Conan around. Everything works out.

Q. Was Nakamori Aoko born in September?

A. When is good?

[Questioner: Since Kaito was born on the 21st, maybe the 12th?]

 I’ll think about it. I haven’t decided, but since Kaito’s birthday is June 21st (6/21), maybe September 12th (9/12) makes sense.

Q. What kind of things does Ran talk about with her karate club friends?

A. What would you like?

[Questioner: Romance talk!]

I do think they chat about that. Everyone would be interested to hear about how things are going with Shinichi. If a scene like that ever comes to mind, I’ll think about including it.

Q. What is Furuya’s family situation like?

A. Secret, as I haven’t decided for certain just yet- it might still change.

Q. Will you ever draw the moment Kazuha fell for Heiji?

A. Do you want to see it? I might.

Q. At Abeno Harukas, Heiji confessed and was holding hands with Kazuha, but did Heiji initiate the hand-holding?

A. Yes. I don’t know if I’ll ever draw that though.

Q. At Kōhaku Uta Gassen, were there any artists you enjoyed other than aiko, B’Z, and Fukuyama-san?

A. Ah, I can’t think of anyone but them. But they were all good. B’z was amazing. It was all dark in the audience seating, but when I thought “oh, something is moving,” it was truly amazing by the end. B’z is my choice! (haha)

Q. Do you have any plans for a spinoff featuring Hattori?

A. Like Zero’s Tea Time?

[Questioner: More like Hanzawa-san.]

What’s the difference between Zero’s Tea Time and Hanzawa-san? Did you want a spinoff? There’s no plans for one right now.

Q. Are there any characters you plan to have romantic developments for in the near future?

A. Kansuke and Yui, and Juugo and Chihaya… aside from that [glances at the moderator] that character… if I say who it is, we’ll get flamed online, so… (haha) 

[The audience goes abuzz]

Well, yes. I can’t tell you right now (haha). Let’s leave it at that.

Q. What’s the plan for next year’s movie?

A. I can’t say, but they do already have it planned.

Q. Who will be the star of next year’s movie?

A. I can’t say, but it’s already been decided as well as the stage.

Q. I’m from Hokkaido. Do you have plans to draw any famous tourist spots in Sapporo? 

A. Hakodate was recently the stage, so it would need to be some time in the future. Any recommendations?

[Questioner: Suzukake Park, Oodori Park, Sapporo TV Tower.]

Ah, got it, I’ll think about it.

Q. We know that Azusa has worked at Poirot for at least one year, but how long has she worked there in total?

A. I don’t know. Maybe since she was in high school. Oops, I just said whatever.

Q. Any plans for a movie set in Tottori?

A. Not at this time. I’ll think about it. I did try to incorporate the Tottori dialect once, but I was told it was incomprehensible. Tottori dialect is pretty hard. If we do a movie here, I’d like it to use Tottori dialect.

Q. It seems Momiji won’t give up even now that Heiji and Kazuha have gotten together, but will Iori continue to serve Momiji in the same way? Will he ever leave due to his old work?

A. He’ll be by her side forever. I think he’ll protect her until the day he dies.

Q. What would you want to eat at a Conan café? 

A. Naporitan spaghetti. I have childish tastebuds, so I also like Hamburg steak and hamburgers.

Q. I like aiko, so I want to hear the behind-the-scenes details about your talk with her on Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

A. During our preparatory meeting, I asked whether I should say “Funya!”, but I was told I couldn’t (because it’s from a different agency.) [T/N: Not familiar with this myself, but maybe it’s some idol’s catchphrase or a reference to a show.]

[Questioner: After meeting aiko, did any murder case ideas come to mind?]

No (haha) It would be sad to kill her off. Maybe a case with a singer involved… I’ll think about it. Aiko was cute.

Q. Kurayoshi’s phone number area code is an important plot point in Conan, but will the city be involved in the future?

A. A coincidence. Kurayoshi residents will get mad at me otherwise.

Q. What did you do for New Year’s as a child?

A. Usually my family would ask me to visit a shrine with them, but I’d stay at home since it was too much of a pain. These days, I always go for my health. [T/N: In Japan, it’s tradition to visit a shrine on the first day of the new year.]

Q. What’s Inspector Ayanokouji’s personal life like? What are his hobbies?

A. He feeds Maro-chan. Hobbies… I wonder. He does like Maro-chan. What would you like?

[Questioner: Something like archery.]

Archery? Well, I’ll think about it.

Q. Do you have any plans for a triple date with Heiji-Kazuha, Shinichi-Ran, and Kyougoku-Sonoko?

A. I hadn’t thought of that before, but I’ll think about it.

[Questioner: So you don’t plan to think about it.]

Sorry (haha). 

Q. Any information on Akai and Amuro’s chat nine hours later?

A. I can’t say. It’s a truly mysterious tea party (haha)

Q. In your Professional interview, you were eating curry, but is there any other food or snacks you like to eat while working?

A. I only really eat cheap stuff, so (haha)  I’m really into the beef don mini-pack from Yoshinoya- it’s a pretty small portion. It’s healthy and good. Also, curry from Coco.

Q. The Saitama prefecture is right next to Tokyo, but has never made an appearance. Any plans for Saitama prefecture police to appear?

A. Yokomizo did show up in Saitama at first, but he did move to Shizuoka, so (haha) I tried to have him go back, but I was told that then it just seemed like he never moved at all. I’ll write about Saitama eventually. I’ll think about it.

Q. What does Kazuha like aside from aikido? 

A. She likes Heiji… (haha) I think she likes cooking just like others like her would. Do you have any thoughts on what she might like?

[Questioner: What…]

[Moderator: Well, that’s what they wanted to know in the first place.]

I’ll think about it.

Q. I’m from Taiwan. Conan has only ever gone to England in the manga. Will he ever go to another country in the manga, not the movies?

A. It would be tough while he’s still Conan, as he doesn’t have a passport. His only choice is for Kid to stuff him into a suitcase, but I can’t use the same trick twice (haha) I’d like to go to Taiwan one day.

Q. Akai and Amuro infiltrated the Organization and know about Sherry, but don’t know of the existence of APTX4869?

A. They do not. There’s a reason why the details of her research and her family isn’t well-known in the Organization, but that’s secret. Even parents wouldn’t tell their children about it in the Organization. 

Q. Do you plan to introduce any new Organization operatives?

A. What would you like?

[Questioner: Amaretto!]

I'll think about it.

Q. Do you plan to draw Shinichi and KID facing off?

A. Shinichi. You mean big Shinichi, huh? I’d love to. (haha)

Q. What last name do you like, or would like to have?

A. Kudo! (haha) Since Kudo Yuusaku as portrayed by Matsuda Yuusaku was cool. If I can, I’d love to become one! (haha)

Q. Did you decide that Heiji would confess on a tall Osaka building even before the Abeno Harukas tower was completed? [T/N: It opened in 2014]

A. I decided after the Abeno Harukas tower was completed. But I did know from the start that Kazuha’s mother would make an appearance to include a twist.I wanted everyone to think that he’d confess to her mother by mistake. 

Q. Who’s stronger between Kogoro and Ran?

A. That’s quite the question (haha) Kogoro is strong! But, Ran is catastrophically strong too (haha). I think it’s hard to say? But if they fought against each other, he’d probably hold back against Ran. Since he’s her dad.

Q. You can really feel the cultural differences between Kyushu and Tokyo. Do you plan to write a case based on that?

A. I’d like to.

Q. Do you have any special tidbits for us aside from what you’ve already told us?

A. Kansuke and Yui and Koumei’s childhood will appear in the movie. Take a good look at the illustration I drew for the Conan Tanteisha store as well. 

Q. Anything you’d want to incorporate into Tottori’s Mystery Tour? Tourist spots and restaurants you’d recommend?

A. I’d like them to make use of Tottori’s Odaiba, crabs, and apple-pears.

Q. Who’s the tallest among all your characters?

A. Date and Gin! Kyougoku is a little shorter, but those three are the tallest. Kazami is too tall in the anime. He should be the same height as Furuya. [T/N: One source also claimed he said that Gin is taller than Date.]

Q. Will Miyano Shiho and Kudo Shinichi ever star in the same case?

A. Ah, I can’t tell you that. Whoops, I almost let something slip (haha)

A Not-So-Disastrous Romance (Book 2) Chapter Fifteen

Saiki Kusuo x Reader

Chapter Fifteen: Dates and Judo

Summary: Saiki and (Y/N) get interrupted on a date, and (Y/N) surprises everyone in gym class.

            “Thanks, Mera,” said (Y/N), smiling as Mera as she set down a plate of coffee jellies on front of (Y/N) and Saiki.

            “No problem!” said Mera. “Anything for my regulars.” She cast a longing look at their sweets, smiled, and walked away.

            “She wanted to eat them,” said Saiki.

            “Don’t need telepathy to know that,” chuckled (Y/N), taking a bite of their sweet. They sighed happily. “Delicious.”

            Saiki nodded in fervent agreement as he took a bite himself.

            “Oh my god, you guys are so cute when you’re enjoying sweets!”

            Saiki and (Y/N)’s heads jerked towards the edge of their book. Miko stood with a grin on her face and her camera up, taking pictures of their smiles as they ate.

            “Adorable!” she said, sliding into the booth beside (Y/N).

            “Stop stalking us,” said Saiki.

            “Hi, Miko,” said (Y/N).

            “I knew you two’d be here,” said Miko happily, waving down a waiter to make her own order. “Sorry!” She winked (and didn’t look sorry at all). “I looked into the future!”

            “This is the problem with psychics,” said Saiki, looking deadpan at (Y/N).

            They just laughed and shook their head as Miko beamed and dug into her snack. Fortunately, this wasn’t a super formal date, so they weren’t upset at Miko showing up. Honestly, Café Mami was not an unknown spot amongst their friends and students at PK Academy, so they weren’t surprised at seeing someone.

            “I can never catch you two at school,” rambled Miko. “You’re way better than me, and then you steal (Y/N) away!”

            “They’re my partner,” said Saiki. “And I told you to leave us alone.”

            “Isn’t it obvious why I’m here?” said Miko. She tapped her forehead.

            Saiki almost rolled his eyes. I love you two. Adorable. Adore you! Love love love. She still has a crush on us? Yare yare.

            “I can’t read you,” lied Saiki. “We’re leaving.”

            “Hey! Don’t ruin the fun,” pouted Miko.

            “I can spare another ten minutes before I get some homework done,” offered (Y/N) kindly.

            Saiki’s eye twitched as he watched them be so kind to an annoyance and as he heard another annoyance approach.

            “Saiki, are you on a date?!” shouted Toristuka, running into Café Mami and towards Saiki’s booth. He looked between Miko and (Y/N). “With two people?!”

            “No,” said (Y/N), smiling.

            “You’re an idiot,” said Saiki.

            “Hey, you’re the new hot girl!” said Toritsuka.

            “You’re the sleazeball,” said Miko distastefully. “What’s a loser like you want with my darlings?”

            “Darlings?!” cried Toritsuka. “For real, Saiki, (L/N)?!”

            “Be quiet,” said Saiki.

            “No, Toritsuka,” said (Y/N).

            “Won’t she find out about your—”

            “Won’t he find out about your—”

            Saiki’s telekinesis shoved napkins in their mouths before they could say the word “powers.”

            “Shut up,” said Saiki.

            “You two both know,” chirped (Y/N), eating their coffee jelly again.

            “What?!” cried Toritsuka and Miko.

            “Why does he know?!” said Miko.

            “You told her about your powers?!” said Toritsuka.

            “Quiet down,” said Saiki. “You both have powers. It was better to tell you than have you suspecting me.”

            “And I know because I accidentally saw him teleporting a hotel,” said (Y/N), smiling fondly at the memory.

            “Wait, you have powers, too?” Toritsuka stared at Miko.

            “No way he does, he looks like an ordinary person,” said Miko, putting her hands on her hips.

            “I’m a spirit medium,” said Toritsuka proudly. “I can prove it.” He looked to his side. “Hey.”

            “Who are you talking to?” said Miko, frowning.

            “A rose pink thong,” said Toritsuka.

            Miko’s eyes widened, and her cheeks turned red. “What?!”

            “That’s the panties you’re wearing now,” said Toritsuka. “I had a ghost check. Was I right? I should che—”

            Wham!

            Miko kicked him, and Toritsuka went down in an instant. Obviously, he’d been right, but he’d gotten the consequences of his actions.

            “Nice kick,” said (Y/N), smiling. They leaned out of their booth to look at Toritsuka. “Quit being a pervert.”

            Toritsuka groaned. “It was so fast.”

            “You can get the ghosts to tell you that now?” said Saiki, looking at Toritsuka.

            “Unlike before, I have some bargaining chips now,” said Toritsuka, standing. “In exchange for obeying my commands—” He jerked, and a weird expression appeared on his face.

            “Yes! A real body!” cheered the ghost possessing him.

            “This again?” said (Y/N). They remembered how badly it went last time.

            “Gravity! This is awesome!” The ghost jumped around happily. “I can’t wait to—”

            Toritsuka doubled over before straightening. He had his body back. “See, Saiki? They tell me her underwear, and I let them borrow my body.”

            “Ew.” (Y/N) got straight to the point.

            “Go anyone near (Y/N) and I, and I end you,” said Saiki.

            “That guy is totally deranged. You should cut ties with him,” said Miko.

            “That’s true,” said Saiki.

            “This is my power! Now it’s your turn, hot babe!” said Toritsuka.

            “I’m a fortune-teller!” said Miko proudly, holding up her crystal ball decorated with gems. “I can see both the past and the future!”

            “I bet your predictions are pretty vague,” jeered Toritsuka. “But if you can predict lottery numbers, I’ll be impressed.”

            “Yes, I can do that,” said Miko.

            “I see,” said Toritsuka. “Teach me!” He bowed before Miko.

            Selfish.

            “Never,” declared Miko. “And anyway, winning the lottery comes with a huge risk. See, people’s luck comes in waves. There’s major good luck, and there’s major bad luck. They balance each other out, basically. So winning the lottery could kill you.”

            “If luck comes in waves, why am I always having bad luck?” grumbled Saiki. He looked at (Y/N) as they watched Miko and Toritsuka in amusement. They had their coffee jelly and a big smile on their face. I guess I did have good luck there.

            “I take back my begging,” said Toritsuka, deflating.

            “What?” Miko scoffed. “I can read everything about other people! It’s way better than your power.”

            Toritsuka narrowed his eyes. “Looks like we need to make things clear. Let’s see which of the PK Psychic Trio is the weakest.”

            “I never joined that trio,” said Saiki.

            “You’re going to be sorry,” said Miko.

            “Let’s see who’ll be Saiki’s sidekick!” declared Toritsuka.

            “(Y/N) is my sidekick,” said Saiki.

            “Thanks, Kusuo,” said (Y/N), smiling.

            “Let’s pay and go,” said Saiki, standing. “This is ridicule—Ah!”

            He jumped back and fell to the ground. Everyone turned in surprise.

            “Kusuo?” said (Y/N) in concern.

            “It’s a cockroach,” said Toritsuka.

            “You’re right, but what’s the big deal?” said Miko, frowning.

            “Idiot!” said Toritsuka. “Saiki hates bugs so much, he’ll crap himself!”

            “No, I don’t,” said Saiki instantly, but he was still frozen.

            “Whoever kills the bug will be Saiki’s sidekick!” said Toritsuka. He ran off to find a ghost to help him kill the bug

            “What? Hold on!” Miko raced after him, but she couldn’t get near the bug either, scared.

            (Y/N) shook their head, picked up their cup, and put it against the wall. They slipped the menu beneath the cup, trapping the cockroach. They carried it outside and put it down, letting it escape before they returned to the booth.

            “There you go!” said (Y/N) brightly.

            Miko and Toritsuka stared and deflated. They didn’t get a chance to prove themselves.

            “Thank you,” breathed Saiki in relief.

            (Y/N) chuckled and held out their hands. Saiki took them, and (Y/N) pulled him to his feet.

            “I guess Saiki’s partner would be his sidekick,” said Miko, sighing.

            “…” Toritsuka paused.

            Saiki and (Y/N) froze.

            “Partner?!” said Toritsuka. “I thought you weren’t on a date, Saiki!”

            “Not with Aiura,” said Saiki.

            “Oops,” said Miko.

            “Are you two—”

            “Yes,” said Saiki before Toritsuka could shout anything.

            “Kusuo and I are dating,” said (Y/N), smiling slightly.

            “And you didn’t tell me?” whined Toritsuka.

            “It’s none of your business,” said Saiki. “And you’re not discreet.”

            Toritsuka pouted.

            “If you tell anyone, you’re going to wish you hadn’t,” said Saiki.

            “G-Got it!” said Toritsuka.

            Saiki took (Y/N)’s hand and looked between Miko and Toritsuka. “We’re leaving, and neither of you are following us.” He wanted peace and quiet with (Y/N).

            “Bye, guys!” said (Y/N), waving as Saiki walked out the door. They looked at him and smiled. “Another person knows. How do you feel?”

            “It wasn’t so bad,” said Saiki.

            “I guess we can’t avoid it forever,” chuckled (Y/N). They linked their arm with his and leaned on his shoulder. “But we’ll have each other.”

            Saiki smiled slightly. “Right.”

l

            “Today’s lesson is judo!” announced Matsusaki, standing in front of the class. “As you know, judo is a martial art. You’ll get hurt if you slack off.”

            Yare yare. I really hate gym class, thought Saiki.

            “Stay alert!” said Matsusaki.

            “I look forward to learning from you!” Hairo was fired up.

            “Yes, that’s the spirit,” said Matsusaki.

            “This will be fun,” said (Y/N), beaming.

            “You like judo?” said Saiki.

            “I haven’t tried it yet,” said (Y/N).

            “Hairo, are you a blackbelt?” said Matsusaki, looking at Hairo’s gi.

            “Yes, I’ve been doing judo since elementary school,” said Hairo.

            “But you won’t have a sparring partner,” said Matsusaki. “Any other blackbelts here?”

            “I’m a black belt,” said Kaidou, smirking and posing. “I’m self-taught.”

            Matsusaki smacked him across the head, and Kaidou pouted. “Take this seriously or you’ll get hurt!”

            “I think he means, ‘or I’ll hurt you,’ ” observed Saiki.

            “Sensei, I can pair up with Hairo,” said (Y/N).

            “Huh?” said Saiki, looking at (Y/N).

            “Don’t be stupid, you could get hurt!” said Matsusaki.

            “I trust Hairo to take it easy today, and he does need a partner,” said (Y/N), smiling.

            Hairo’s eyes sparkled with tears. “So noble, (L/N)!”

            “Very well,” said Matsusaki, nodding. “Everyone, get into pairs!”

            “Wait, I wanted you to be my partner—” Saiki watched (Y/N) walk over to Hairo. Stupid nice heart of theirs helping others out.

            “Next time, Kusuo!” said (Y/N), smiling.

            “Hey pal, if you and pinky aren’t a pair, you should pair up with me!” said Nendou.

            I’m stuck with the idiot. Saiki had hoped accidentally using his powers and lifting his partner too easily wouldn’t be seen if (Y/N) was there to help him cover, but at least with Nendou he could throw him around and not worry if he got hurt.

            “Stretches first, and then practice your falls!” said Matsusaki.

            The students obeyed, stretching and practicing falls before doing anything sparring.

            “Alright, good, who wants to spar first?” Matsusaki looked at the pairs. “Hairo, (L/N), show them how to do it safely. Hairo, be gentle!”

            “I’ll be fine, Sensei,” said (Y/N), smiling.

            “You ready?” said Hairo.

            “Yep,” chirped (Y/N).

            If he hurts them, I swear to all the gods that hate me—

            Hairo lunged. (Y/N) pivoted, caught his arm, and threw. Hairo went soaring through the air and hit the mat. Everyone’s jaws dropped open. (Y/N) looked down at Hairo.

            “Are you alright?” said (Y/N), tilting their head.

            “How did you—My move was perfect,” exclaimed Hairo. It wasn’t arrogance, either, it was true.

            “It was,” said (Y/N). “And judo is a little different than what I’m used to.”

            “Used to?” said Saiki.

            “Yeah,” said (Y/N), smiling. “I train in karate. I’m going for my second-degree black belt in a few months.”

            Hairo’s jaw dropped open from where he lay on the ground.

            That explains why they felt fine sparring against him, thought Saiki.

            “That’s so cool, Pinky!” said Nendou.

            “Wow,” said Kuboyasu.

            “Th-That explains the punch at the beach,” thought Kaidou, remembering the time (Y/N) had hit a man harassing their friends—the strength had been formidable.

            (Y/N) looked at all of them and tilted their head. “Did I really never tell you?” They laughed and shrugged. “Oh, well.”

            The nice one is scary?

            Saiki smothered an amused smile at the thoughts swirling around him. (Y/N) was the nice one. They were just also capable of taking care of themself.

            “Good match, Hairo,” said (Y/N), helping Hairo stand.

            And they’re still nice, thought Saiki.

Ride 793.5: Nogawa-san guesses right!!

Pag 1

1: Unfortunately, today is raining

As you know, this is the Kanogawa stationery shop near Hakone Academy

2: I'm the shopkeeper, Togawa Koujiro (42)

As expected, even this store that's usually packed with customers, has little customers when it rains

3: Huuh, I stocked up on kappas and umbrellas, but it was forecast to rain since morning, so I guess everyone brought rain gear, huh

4: On rainy days like this

5: I always think about that student

Pag 2

1: One year ago

Waaa

2: Ah, welcome!!

3: Excuse me.... please let me shelter here from the rain for a bit

Yes, no problem!!

4: He takes shelter from the rain → he looks around the shop while waiting → he unintentionally finds something he wants → he buys it

It's happened quite often after all

Please take your time (to look around my store)!!

5: The boy who visited my shop that day....

You're all wet, do you want a towel?

7: He was especially

Pag 3

1: huge!!

Waaaaa-!!

2: Ah is that okay? Thank you so much!

You-you're so tall, are you 190cm!? How tall are you!?

3: 2m!! A person 2m tall!!

4: Well

No well, congratulation... do I congratulate you?

5: Now that I think about it, the other day those first year girls were talking about a senpai who was especially tall!!

6: Is it this guy!? After all he is so tall that it looks like he could hit the ceiling!!

Ouch

He hit it right away!!

Pag 4

1: Well, do you want to take a seat?

2: Thank you....

He's about the same height as me when he's sitting down!!

4: I don't know why but that time

5: I wondered what club that guy

6: with a mysterious and gentle personality was in? I wanted to play a guessing game!!

7: The rules are simple, I can't ask “what club are you in”

I'll guess with a few questions

Who guesses correctly with fewer questions wins!!

I accept the challenge!!

(Nogawa-san who was so bored because of the rain and so he played two roles)

Pag 5

1: The qualifiers for the Inter High are getting closer, huh?

2: He took the bait!!

3: Huh!! So he's definitely in a sport club!!

Are you going?

4: How many people, who will participate?

5: Yes

With Tou-chan, Yuki-chan, and three other people

6: Tou-chan, Yuki-chan, and three other people!?

With his father and... what!? A girl!?* And three other people- what kind of sport is it!?

(*NdT.: Tou-chan is the nickname Ashikiba has for Izumida, but it also means “dad”; he also calls Yukinari “Yuki-chan” which sounds like a feminine name)

Pag 6

1: Wait wait wait, that must be what he means

The “father” is his coach!! And “Yuki-chan” must be his manager!!

2: Judo or kendo!! Or maybe karate!! Something like that

3: But in the end it's an individual competition....

5: That's right

6: I succeeded in one go!!

By the way... doesn't that thing you wear get stuffy?

8: Come!! I narrowed it down to “kendo”!! It's a bluff!!

Take the bait!! Take the bait!!

9: Ah.... does it look stuffy to the average person? It's alright, actually

Come!!

Pag 7

1: It has lots of holes after all

3: I'm definitely right!!

4: My profiling is perfect!!

This stationery shop is a waste of my talents, now I'll move to America and change my career to join the CIA!!

(Nogawa-san is satisfied)

5: Ah, it stopped raining

6: Thank you very much

No no!! I had a good time!!

7: Wait, take this, it's okay, it's okay!!

Huh, an umbrella!?

Pag 8

3: … no it wasn't an umbrella...

A fencing stick!? Why do you have that!?

4: Somehow I ended up with this while taking shelter from the rain...

The Straw Millionaire!?*

Abs!!

(*NdT.: He's referencing to a Japanese Buddhist folk tale)

5: After a few days he heard some girls talking about it and found out he was actually in the bicycle racing team...

Well... I guess it's for the better that I have this stationer shop then...

If the Call of Duty characters were in the Olympics…

Price would compete in the Modern Pentathlon. As one of the youngest cadets to ever graduate from the Royal Military Academy, John received a well-rounded education that helps him master the multiple sports that comprise the Modern Pentathlon. His experience as a leader and soldier, combined with his innate adaptability, makes him particularly suited for this event. The pentathlon demands a unique combination of physical prowess, tactical decision-making, and mental resilience, all of which are qualities that Price has honed during his military career. Whether it's fencing, swimming, equestrian show jumping, shooting, or running, Price's ability to perform under pressure and his endless pursuit of excellence would undoubtedly make him a top contender.

Gaz would compete in the Triathlon. With an impressive tolerance for physically and mentally demanding tasks, Kyle is highly skilled at maintaining the right mindset and pushing forward when others would’ve given up long ago. Known for his endurance and adaptability, Gaz’s ability to transition between different skills highlights his speed and agility. The Triathlon, which requires proficiency in swimming, cycling, and running, suits Gaz’s all-around athleticism and mental toughness. His grueling military training and his enjoyment of high-pressure environments have prepared him well to tackle the physical and mental challenges of a multi-sport event. His ability to remain focused on long-term goals and his determination to overcome any obstacle in his path would make him a natural in this demanding endurance competition.

Ghost would compete in Shooting. With his background in marksmanship and sniper training, Simon "Ghost" Riley is well-suited to the sport of shooting. Ghost’s ability to maintain perfect stillness and his sharp, focused sight are critical in competitive shooting, where precision is key. His calm, composed demeanor under pressure—some might even call it “cold”—allows him to block out distractions and shoot with deadly accuracy. Years of sniper training in the SAS have conditioned Ghost to thrive in situations where split-second decisions mean the difference between success and failure. His ability to remain collected in high-stakes situations would serve him well in the Olympic shooting events, where patience is just as important as physical skill.

Soap would compete in Judo. Having spent his younger years as a goalkeeper in football (soccer), Soap developed the agility, balance, and quick reflexes essential for Judo. Judo is a sport where competitors always have to be thinking one step ahead of their opponent, and Soap has proven himself to be a smart tactician, willing to take risks. His background in the SAS, where he earned a reputation for his speed and precision in urban warfare, makes him particularly adept at the grappling techniques and strategic movements required in Judo. Soap’s combative spirit and hands-on approach, coupled with his ability to anticipate and counter his opponent’s moves, would make him a formidable competitor on the mat. His resilience and quick thinking under pressure are exactly what judokas need to excel in this demanding sport.

6. Pisaeng (Be My Favorite)

most patient boyfriend who tries super hard to get you plushies? yea i would bang Pisaeng in a heartbeat, no doubt. in fact, i believe Pisaeng would be considerate and wait for me to be ready (Pisaeng babe i'm always ready for you 😉)

5. Tennoji Haru (Trillion Game)

while Trillion Game is DEFINITELY not BL, but Meguro Ren was in Kieta Hatsukoi so my boy should get a PASS 😤 Haru is confident yet humble, self-proclaimed selfish yet always selfless. god i love competent men *swoons* Trillion Game is out on Netflix, please check out my boy Haru and his boy(friend) Gaku and their start-up adventure together 🥺👉👈.

3. Tangmo (Great Men Academy)

you don't understand how obsessed i am with the og golden retriever, nation's boyfriend, Tangmo. it's been 4? years... i have not let him go... gentle soft boi but great at judo too? i think Tangmo and i should have our wrestling sessions ending up as makeout sessions.

1. Khun Yai and Jom (I Feel You Linger In The Air)

if i don't have a gentle lover like Khun Yai Kritsada Palathip or a soft boyfriend like Jom Ravit Pittayanan then what's the POINT. i want both of them so BAD. also isn't it such a crime that Yai lives his entire life the rest of his live in celibacy, having fucked only ONE person (the love of his life) in his lifetime. LET ME IN. i will love both of you equally.

+ bonus: Chef Guy (Bake Me Please)

did you REALLY think i was gonna end my list without current loml, our resident sad boi, considerate and caring Chef Guy? 😅 Guy deserves a spot on here because well i'm absolutely feral for this man. Guy is just the nicest guy and i will literally do anything for him. Guy had me at hello but my heart truly broke when he comforted Peach saying he doesn't want to see Peach who's given him so much positivity, cry 😭.

oooooh that was soooo hard ;_; i love all these characters, maybe one day i need to start listing the female characters i'd totally hypothetically bang too because WOMEN ARE HOT 🔥.

FELIX - boxing

Notes:

hobby hops martial arts like nobody's business. current obsession: muay thai.

if he can find practitioners/coaches within the local momos academy area he'll sign up & train formally w/ a coach

his base is mainly kyokushin karate & a little bit of lucha canaria, learnt as a kid in the canary islands on holiday

wears ankle weights while sparring as a form of gaining muscle.

they're not that heavy (~2kg) each leg. it's become a habit of his

style: prefers kicks & takedowns over punches/evasions.

HATES footwork lmao

heavily considering just shaving his head bc it gets really annoying when his fringe keeps falling out during sparring

charles taught/got him into bare-knuckle boxing

Qualifications

blue belt in taekwondo. got it certified recently in momosu; learnt up to green belt previously

black belt in kyokushin karate

he's a martial arts genius & he works really hard!!

doesn't have any other official qualifications bc he was sent to momos before anything like that cld happen

looking into judo. originally wanted to learn jeet kune do but there wasn't any good dojangs for it in momosu

w/ Charles

dislikes it bc he always can't write in class the day after due to damage done to his hands

so charlix tries to spar on fridays/days w/o classes the next day so they both dont need to suffer lmao

[dogbunni]

i think something fascinating is how nendou is supposed to be too dumb to notice anything but really? a lot of times he does notice quite a lot (especially when it's about Saiki), he just tends to either not question it, or drops it as soon as Saiki or someone else disagrees.

Like when Saiki was standing up for him when he was accused of stealing his classmate's purses, Nendou *knew* Saiki was somehow involved simply because he saw him stare angrily at Takahashi.

When Saiki's dad was replacing Saiki at the surprise party, or Toritsuka was standing in for him, Nendou was always the first to notice.

It's also interesting how he always manages to happen to be helpful to Saiki in a way? His likeability has to drop? Let's give him a hug. There's too much attention on Saiki bc he was good at judo? Nendou makes it so all the attention is on himself. There's bugs in Saiki's house? Well good that bug-crushing Nendou is there! The Newspaper Club bothers Saiki? Well...Nendou at least tries to get rid of him. A literal bookshelf falls on Saiki? Nendou takes the hit for him AND THEN ASKS HIM IF HE'S OK.

And as much as Saiki acts all disgusted, he does see the good in him. The first thing Saiki does when Saiko is about to leave is get Nendou to talk to him bc he knows he's good tlat that sort of stuff. When those girls are inviting him on a fake date Saiki WRITES HIM A SWEET NOTE bc he doesn't want it to break his heart.

I just-

i can't ok-

too many feelings-

I've been looking at this ask for hours I just keep coming back and reading it again.

nendo truthers we are so valid and also honorary members of PK academy

but also. YES ALL OF THIS. I've been SAYING nendo may be book dumb but he has high stat in wisdom. part of the reason why I ship him and saiki is bc they compliment each other that way. like saiki is a genius, but he's also a dumbass. he (despite literally reading minds) just doesn't really GET people. he goes about trying to be normal in the least normal way. and then nendo will not know basic math but still say the most beautiful and profound things when only mildly provoked. I'm too tired to cite sources rn but if anyone else has screenshots to hand. gimme.

anyway. I literally have a one shot in the works about this topic. just nendo dropping some sweet words of wisdom on saiki without even really realising how sage and intelligent he's being and saiki's life being forever changed (for the better) by it. thank u <3

The Rigorous Physical Training Cadets Undergo to secure us.

Military academies have a known reputation for shaping individuals into disciplined leaders by providing an education. An integral part of this journey is the physical training that cadets undergo. In this blog post we will delve into the importance and impact of the training regimens that shape both the bodies and minds of future military leaders.

Physical Fitness as the Foundation:

Physical fitness is not merely an aspect of life within the military; it serves as the foundation upon which a cadet’s capabilities are built. Institutions like Trimurti Pawan Pratishtan understand that having a healthy body is crucial in meeting the demands of service. As such rigorous physical training becomes a part of their routine serving as a cornerstone in shaping their experiences.

Discipline Through Physical Challenges:

The demanding physical training routines implemented in academies serves a purpose. Beyond improving fitness, they instil a sense of discipline. Cadets learn lessons in punctuality, commitment and perseverance as they navigate through workouts obstacle courses and endurance drills. Each push up completed, and every mile run becomes an opportunity to develop resilience and mental fortitude.

Varied Training Approaches:

The physical training programs offered by academies are designed with an approach, in mind. Cadets engage in a range of activities during their training, which includes exercises strength workouts, agility drills and team oriented tasks. This diverse training regimen aims to enhance not their strength but also their agility, flexibility and ability to work effectively as a team. All vital qualities, for success, in the field.

Endurance and Mental Toughness:

Military life often demands physical endurance and mental toughness in adverse conditions. The rigorous training cadets undergo prepares them for the challenges they may face during their service. Whether it’s enduring long marches, carrying heavy backpacks, or navigating challenging terrains, physical training hones the cadets’ ability to persevere under pressure.

Team Building through Physical Challenges:

Many physical training activities in military schools are designed to foster teamwork and camaraderie among cadets. Through collaborative efforts in obstacle courses or group exercises, cadets learn the importance of mutual support and effective communication — skills vital for any military operation where teamwork is key to success.

Leadership Development:

Physical training is not just about building individual strength; it is a crucial component of leadership development. As cadets progress through challenging physical regimens, they learn to lead by example, inspire their peers, and make quick decisions in high-pressure situations. These experiences on the training ground lay the groundwork for effective leadership in the field.

Beyond the Physical:

While the physical benefits are evident, the impact of rigorous training extends beyond the physical realm. Cadets develop mental resilience, a sense of purpose, and a heightened self-discipline that serves them well in all aspects of life. The lessons learned during physical training become ingrained in their character, shaping them into well-rounded individuals.

Conclusion:

The rigorous physical training that cadets undergo in military schools is not just about building strong bodies; it is about forging resilient, disciplined, and capable leaders. Trimurti Pawan Pratishtan and similar institutions recognize the transformative power of physical training, weaving it into the fabric of their holistic education. As cadets sweat, push their limits, and overcome challenges, they emerge not only physically fit but also mentally prepared to face the demands of military service and leadership. The crucible of physical training in military schools is where character is honed, and leaders are forged.

Star Trek TNG and DS9 Crew Olympics

The summer Olympics sports each main crew member would be best at or most interested in. (Taken from the official 2024 sports list).

TNG

Jean-Luc Picard - Fencing (While he likes horses, this is clearly his favorite activity, and I don't see him wanting to really train a horse for all that).

William Riker - Beach Volleyball (He'd go for something team-oriented and this suits his casual fun-loving vibe).

Data - Climbing (The blend of physical ability and mental calculations would appeal most to him).

Geordi LaForge - Athletics Running (Seriously, LeVar Burton was a ridiculously speedy runner with any distance and ground, that I've worked it into my fics as a Geordi trait).

Beverly Crusher - Road Cycling (Something with a steady endurance feels right for her).

Worf - Athletics Hammer Throw/ Shot Put/ Javelin (Something to show off his strength and physical ability while keeping his probable feelings of not wanting to accidentally hurt anyone).

Deanna Troi - Artistic Swimming (Feels very "pretty" and also somewhat unusual).

DS9

Benjamin Sisko - Wrestling (Captain of the Starfleet Academy wrestling team).

Kira Nerys - Shooting (Give her a gun and targets, she'll be perfectly happy).

Jadzia Dax - Judo (She'd love to throw people around and maybe be thrown around herself).

Julian Bashir - Triathlon (Tennis is the obvious choice, but I think he'd like to push himself with running/swimming/biking).

Miles O'Brien - Canoe/Kayak (He loves doing this so much he keeps wrecking his shoulder).

Odo - Rowing (Relates to his kayaking outings with Miles, but also appeals to his sense of orderliness).

Ezri Dax - Rhythmic Gymnastics (Something fun and playing into her physique).

Feel free to add on with your thoughts and for other crews!
