King Yoshiaki Omori (né Hisakawa), King Consort of the Eastern Queendom

About time I decided to draw the twins’ dad. I’m going to redesign their mum soon (she’ll also have those spiral ear markings).

Yoshiaki was born to Lady Hitomi and Lord Ryota of the Hisakawa noble house. Since he was a child, he took an interest in mechanical things and botany. Being their only son (He has three sisters), his parents prepared him to meet Queen Tomomi, and hoped that they could find love eventually. Luckily, Yoshiaki and Tomomi’s friendship eventually did evolve into true love, embracing their differences between each other and appreciating each other’s interests.

Yoshiaki, much like his wife the then-Queen Tomomi, is quite shy and reserved, but loves his wife and daughters dearly and will do anything for them. Because of his knowledge in how mechanical things work, he was known for creating many different timepieces and mechanical dolls found throughout Omori Palace. Much like how Ami resembles Tomomi, Emi in this case looks a lot like Yoshiaki.

However, Yoshiaki went missing one day without explanation. Sadly, after three long days of searching, he was found dead in the cypress woods north of Omori Palace, with the cause never being confirmed.

[talesfromthecrypts]

Soon we'll be able to see it: the home of Carmilla, the Bloody Countess. You've heard of her. For five thousand years her rule of terror lasted, and then, that was that! Your father, the Vampire King, grew angry. He was impatient with her vanity; offended by her bloodlust, her gluttony. He grew so tired that he killed her while she slept, impaling her on a sword, and that was it for her. Except she haunts the place now with phantoms and demons.

Again, congrats in 300! I honestly think you deserve way more than that 🫶

Thank you for your support, sweet anon! And thank you for this request! I love this pirate so much! And there needs to be more fluff with him! So, I am happy to contribute to that fluff.

Alright so here we go! Motonari and arranged marriage fluff!

The Pirate and The Princess

It had been two months now that Motonari had entered into this arranged marriage with the Oda Princess. Two months since she had come to live with him. He had let her know from the beginning this was nothing more than a political arrangement, that it was a marriage in name only.

Of course, the princess had known that even without him stating it so bluntly. She was his wife legally and in name…but that was all there was to it. In truth, she was little better than a hostage, a pawn in this political game to secure the alliance…to make sure that the Oda didn’t do anything Motonari didn’t agree with…and to ensure that Yoshiaki never came back into power.

“This marriage is just a means to an end. I never wanted no wife.” Motonari had told her, his tone harsh, though she didn’t flinch.

“I’m not an idiot.” She had told him, fixing a glare at him. “You think you’re some kind of catch or something? Please, I never picked this arrangement. You are the LAST person on earth I would pick.”

“Well, at least we’re on the same page then.” Motonari had replied, surprised by the fire in her eyes. He had mistaken her for some shy weak little thing…but it appeared she had been more.

“Lady Mouri, perhaps I can show you to your chambers.” Hiroyoshi had said, interrupting them.

“That sounds good.” She had said, getting up to follow the old goat, showing him a genuinely kind smile…something that had irked Motonari.

After that, the princess had given him the cold shoulder. Though she would smile and chat up Hiroyoshi and his crew, being totally sweet to them…and looking at Motonari with utter contempt whenever they would cross paths. 

It had honestly gotten under Motonari’s skin. “Why’s she always gotta look at me like that? Why’s she always got that sweet smile fer everyone else?”

“Perhaps my lord, you could try being kind to the Lady Mouri.” Hiroyoshi had said, to him as he brought Motonari some documents with some new trade agreements.

“The hell you talkin’ ‘bout ya old codger?” Motonari had groused.

“Nothing, my lord.” Hiroyoshi had replied. “You know, I was talking to the princess the other day…apparently she was working as a seamstress in Azuchi before she came here. It was something she rather enjoyed.”

“Am I s’posed ta care about somethin’ she likes?” Motonari had asked.

“Just thought it was an interesting tidbit, my lord.” Hiroyoshi had answered. “Though, I did hear that she was a highly sought after seamstress. Highly skilled and very passionate about her work. She brought in lots of new business to Azuchi.”

Motonari had looked up at the old man, intrigued by this, lifting one white brow. “That so?”

“Very so, my lord.” Hiroyoshi had answered.

“Get ‘er some fabrics then.” Motonari had said. “And sewin’ stuff.”

“Of course, my lord.” Hiroyoshi had replied, a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his face.

“Don’t go gettin’ no funny ideas. It’s just good business.” Motonari snapped.

“No ideas at all, my lord.”

It had only taken another few days after that for the princess to come knocking on his council room door. “What?” Motonari had called as she came in, carrying something in her hands.

“I…just wanted to give you this…as a thank you for the fabrics and sewing notions.” She replied, bowing and handing him a small wrapped parcel.

Motonari looked at her as he took the package. “That ain’t nothin’ ta thank me for. Hiryoshi said you were a good seamstress. Just a good business move.” He replied, waving her off.

“Still…I really appreciate being able to get back to it and having something to do.” She replied. “I think I was beginning to drive poor Hiroyoshi crazy constantly asking him for something to do…and well also… I think we got off on the wrong foot.”

“What are ya talkin’ about?” Motonari asked.

“Just…I know this arrangement is all political and I don’t expect to EVER fall in love with you or for your shriveled black heart to start beating and beating for me…but maybe we can LIKE each other even if we don’t LOVE each other…and maybe be friends.”

Motonari blinked in surprise at her words…was…no one had ever come to him with such a crazy offer before. “Ya got flowers fer brains or what?” He had asked her.

“Ugh…I can’t believe I even tried!” She groaned as she got up in a huff. “I thought…I don’t know what I thought.” She was then quickly leaving the room. 

Motonari watched her go, not saying a word. It irritated him that she left so quickly…but he couldn’t quite figure out why. He looked down at the package she had given him…finally he decided to open it. Inside was a small handkerchief that matched the fabric of the cape he usually draped over his shoulder and was embroidered with the Mouri crest on the corner.

The fabric was perfectly cut and sewn well. The embroidery was intricate and clearly that of a skilled hand. “Ah…dammit.” Motonari had groaned, running a gloved hand through his hair in agitation. “Dammit all ta hell.”

The next night, Motonari had gone to the princess, carrying a tray with some tea and a freshly cooked meal he had made. “Here.” He said, as he sat the tray down in her room, where she sat working on her sewing.

She had looked at him, confusion in her face. “What’s this for?” She asked.

“Hiroyoshi said ya been workin’ all day…ain’t had much ta eat.” Motonari had answered, honestly not even sure why he was here.

“I…suppose now is a good time for a break.” She had replied, placing a loose stitch in her work to save her place before neatly folding it and setting it aside.

“Well, enjoy.” Motonari said, awkwardly heading for the door.

“You…you aren’t going to join me?” She asked, her words stopping him in his tracks.

“What?”

“Well…I thought…nevermind.” She replied. “Thank you.”

Motonari let out a groan as he turned back around to her. “No, tell me what’s on yer mind.”

“I just…I thought maybe…this was you…maybe agreeing to what I said the other day…about us trying to just like each other…get to know each other.” The princess answered. “Where I come from… people share meals and get to know each other.”

“I still think ya got flowers growin’ in that head o’ yers…but maybe we can give it a try.” Motonari found himself saying.

And thus began a new ritual. Every night the pair would sit down to dinner together…a dinner Motonari made as he wouldn’t eat food others had touched. This was something Motonari had surprisingly come to look forward to. They would talk and… well they would bicker quite often. Motonari would tease her and get her riled up…and she would bite back…which was something he found he enjoyed.

Though if Motonari were being honest, the thing he enjoyed the most would be at the end of one of their bickering sessions. The princess would sigh and shake her head…but she would be wearing the most beautiful smile. Her eyes would be warm and full of light…and Motonari was entirely unaware of the warm look he would give to her in return.

On this particular night, after finishing their dinner the princess let out a sigh. “I guess you’ll be heading off then?” She asked.

“Don’t tell me you’ll be missin’ me, flower girl.” Motonari teased her.

The princess scrunched up her face. “I wouldn’t go THAT far…but… I just… get bored.”

Motonari chuckled. “Well, if yer bored, then hows about we go on a little adventure?” He found himself suggesting.

She looked up at him, her eyes narrowing in playful suspicion. “What kind of adventure?”

“Only one way to find out.” Motonari replied, grinning in spite of himself. “What do ya say, flower girl?”

“I say… I must be utterly insane because… it sounds like fun.”

It was a short time later, Motonari and the princess were leaving his castle, Motonari leading her through a path in the forest. “Watch yer footing. It can get kinda rough around here.” He warned her, as he held a small lantern to guide them.

“I’ll do my best.” She replied.

They walked a little further before Motonari found himself reaching a hand back towards the princess. “Here, don’t need ya fallin’ on yer face…despite how funny that might be.”

The princess blinked as she looked at Motonari’s outstretched hand, still clad in his white glove. Though they had never expressly discussed it…she was aware that he didn’t like to be touched. She’d been aware of the physical distance he purposely kept between them. She’d also seen him keep that same distance with… well everyone. She’d even witnessed him violently through off an overly-flirty lady of the night. It wasn’t too hard to pick up on the fact that Motonari didn’t like to be touched.

“What? Somethin’ wrong?” Motonari asked.

“W-won’t…you be…uncomfortable?” She asked, looking up at him, her eyes wide in the low light of the lantern and the moon.

It was then that Motonari seemed to become aware of himself…aware of what he was offering. Was he really about to let this other person TOUCH him? His hand was still hanging in the air between them. He thought hard about this now…but to his surprise…the idea of the princess’s hand in his…it didn’t make his skin crawl. It didn’t make him break out into a cold sweat. He didn’t know why…but SHE was okay.

“It’s…okay.” He told her, a surprisingly tender look in his eyes, his crooked smile soft. 

“Are…are you sure?” She asked, still hesitant. “If it would make you uncomfortable, I can walk fine on my own…and even if I were to trip, I’m not THAT delicate that a little tumble would hurt that bad…wouldn’t be the first time…”

She was rambling, he could tell. “I said it’s okay…but only if it’s you.”

A small gasp escaped the princess as she looked up at him, her eyes somehow going wider. “O-okay…” She was then ever so slowly, placing her hand in his.

Motonari’s gloved fingers curled around her delicate hand…so much smaller than his own. Her hand felt warm in his palm…and he was surprised to find…it actually felt pleasant to hold her hand. He turned forward once again and lead her through the forest, making sure to keep her from tripping as they went.

Soon they were coming to a clearing that led to a small cliff’s edge. “Stay close and watch yer step.” He told her as he led her up the cliff.

“You’re not gonna throw me over and claim I fell are you?” She joked, though Motonari could detect a hint of nervousness in her voice.

Motonari looked at her, lifting a brow. “No.” He answered. “Yer shakin’ there m’lady. I promise I ain’t takin’ ya out here ta hurt ya.”

She shook her head. “That’s…not it…I uh…I may…have a little fear…of high…places.” She admitted sheepishly, looking down at her feet.

Motonari still held her hand in his. He found himself giving her hand a gentle squeeze. “Don’t worry, I got ya.”

She looked up at him, surprised to see how gently he was looking at her right now. His hand around hers was warm…and surprisingly comforting. “Okay…” 

Motonari led her up the cliff, keeping her hand in his the entire time. “Now…have a look at this view.”

The princess turned and looked out. The cliff overlooked the ocean, and her breath was instantly taken away. The large full moon and the millions of twinkling stars were reflected on the water’s surface, broken only by the ripples of the gentle waves and the ocean creatures moving below the water. It looked as if the sky truly never ended.

“It’s…wow…it’s…” She gasped, as she took in the view.

Motonari watched her, unable to keep himself from smiling. Her eyes twinkled as if holding the light of the stars she was gazing at. As he looked at her, one word flitted through his mind completely unbidden…

“Beautiful.” The princess’s voice said, completing her unfinished thought.

Motonari couldn’t help himself and his lips were moving before he could even think better of it. “Yeah, beautiful view.”

The princess turned to him, her cheeks reddening as she realized Motonari was watching her and not the ocean of stars in front of them. 

It was there in that moonlit night, a garden’s worth of new flowers began to bloom.

3b. Part 2: Gojo, Cursed Objects, and WW2

Overall thesis for this project: Godzilla and Mothra create the cultural context of creatives using powerful monsters (or kaiju) to disrupt Japanese bureaucracy and society, usually to make some larger criticism.

Manga spoilers below!

In a post-Godzilla Japan, the kaiju character, the monster, often challenges and disrupts the stability of the status quo. The disruption often exposes negative traits and limitations of those in power, criticizing the authority's abilities. The kaiju might act as a party separated from other warring factions; the kaiju might be integrated into one or more of the story's main factions; and finally, there can be more than one kaiju present, each with their own individual goals. In All-Out Attack, Godzilla appears first. To stop Godzilla from destroying Japan, the three gurdian deities must be summoned: Baragon, Mothra, and King Ghidorah. I argue that the kaiju narrative not only exists beyond cinema, but that Japanese creatives use certain specifications from older works to reimagine the classic plot of Gojira (1954).

As a kaiju, Gojo represents the eventual need to step beyond the limitations those in power place on an individual. Anything with more power than the self-preserving sovereign will be seen as a threat (Rika possesses Yuta, Yuji hosts Sukuna, and both are sentenced to death). Gojo's mastery of jujutsu, and his massacre of the Higher-Ups, demonstrates a scenario where a person can evolve beyond the system. Gege uses Gojo to argue that justice or an ideal fairness cannot be found in the self-preserving system, because it will always choose to neutralize or eliminate the possibility of something greater than itself, regardless of whether it be a force of good or bad. After Shibuya, the Higher-Ups sought to contain Gojo like they have Sukuna: trapped in a cursed object, and finally beholden to their unmerciful control.

Beyond the usual conventions of the kaiju narrative that I've discussed until now, there exists another important factor. The kaiju narrative must always place Japan under threat of destruction from a great power, usually by a monster. Absinthe makes the point that in the kaiju film narrative, Japan will almost always be the victim. He says that "In Gojira the monster destroys and shatters Tokyo but importantly stays and even in Mosura [(Mothra, 1961)] and Gamera [(1965)] there is this sense that the monster has taken over," emphasizing the importance for one or more of the kaiju to threaten Japan's freedom and sustentation. Demon City Shinjuku released in 1982, and was directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri; the animated movie depicts Shinjuku, a special ward of Tokyo, being destroyed by Rebi Ra, then overrun by demons. During World War 2, the 1945 Tokyo air raids destroyed a vast majority of Shinjuku's infrastructure, but the railways and transit remained mostly intact. The enduring transit system aided in Shinjuku becoming the metropolitan area it exists as today.

Anime and manga overtly reference Shinjuku's dark history, often using it as a site where demons or misfortune strikes. Meta-textually, even when removed from its history as a victim of air raids, it exists near Tokyo. Placing misfortune within Shinjuku communicates the near collapse of Tokyo, Japan's heart. In Code Geass, the Britannian army destroyed Shinjuku via air raids. In the story's present, Shinjuku remains as a ruined ghetto in the now occupied Japan, which was renamed Area 11 after its defeat by Britannia. Moving past all the implications of Code Geass' story, I want to focus on Gege's use of Shinjuku as a battlefield within JJK. The final arc of JJK was titled "The Decisive Battle in the Uninhabited, Demon-Infested Shinjuku," effectively marking Shinjuku as a 'demon city.' "Demon-Infested Shinjuku" reads as a clever nod to Kawajiri, and also an important framing for the battle taking place between Sukuna and the remaining cast; everyone uses every skill they have as they participate in a clash of titans that tears the city apart. If he defeats the cast, Sukuna unleashes an unstoppable monster that will destroy Tokyo, then the rest of the world after.

In modern Japanese pop culture, Shinjuku serves as an example of a trope developed through repetition across titles. Not only does Shinjuku itself act as a trope to depict a losing battle against a stronger enemy (Gojo's defeat against Sukuna), but also as an interchangeable setting to convey an approximate danger looming over Tokyo, and more importantly, Japan. Like in All-Out Attack, the other monsters gather to defend Japan from Sukuna, the king. In both titles, the monsters do not fight to protect the Japanese government or care about it's infrastructure. The cast of monsters reduce parts of Tokyo to rubble in their fights; they must, to convey the threat that Japan faces in this awesome battle between kaiju. In All-Out Attack, the guardian deities' motivations were mostly unknown, except for a desire to kill Godzilla. In JJK's "Demon-Infested Shinjuku," the cast members come from all different walks of life, and have their own goals in mind, but they all agree that Sukuna needs to die for one reason or another.

In Jujutsu Kaisen, the kaiju takes many roles. Sukuna throws Japan's government into disarray with a devastating attack that wipes Shibuya off the face of the earth. Maki destroys an important pillar of jujutsu society's government. Gojo puts the final nail in the coffin and kills the bureaucratic powers. The kaijus act within and outside of the established government. The kaiju most importantly exposes the weakness of the setting's government, and in the case of anime and manga, the sovereign will almost always be a bureaucratic system.

Notes:

What's funny is that Yaga got the boot for simply being responsible for Gojo and Geto. They were MAD!

I think a vast majority of anime fans doubt the influence that World War 2 has on Japanese pop culture, and especially anime and manga.

Someone once mentioned to me somethin about Gege's interest in urban areas and infrastructure. I hope this person finds this update interesting!

Sukuna section(s) next!

In order to protect Sanzang, Zero, the first generation robot manufactured by Jiuzao, was destroyed along with the robots Soichi Fujimura and Souka Fujimura created by Ryutaro. Robot Tai is Wujiu's opponent on the surface, but in fact he is protecting Wujiu and his group.

One thousand years in the future, the world has lost its balance. All the giant trees up to 10,000 meters high have been cut down by humans as obstacles. The entire world has turned into a desert. Only humans and Abbot are left in this world that is heading for destruction. As if guided by fate, Sanzang and Gokyuu meet. Traveling together, Sanzou - a young man shrouded in mystery, Gokyuu - the strongest and worst Anbot around, Tongoh - an Anbot fond of drinking, Jou - someone who is great with machines, Suuji - a female Anbot thief, and last but not least, Mioto. And so, their journey begins to the boundless East, to the land where the sun was born!

Open The Introduction To Dragongate by Scar The Skelly [UNAFFILIATED PART 3]

I can see the finish line, let's goooo!

Presentation Notes:

Ryu Fuda

Fuda and Mocchy had a wonderful match on the 6th of March this year in Korakuen, would recommend.

Daiki Yanagiuchi

The package Daiki gave Yoshioka was a challenge for the Dream Gate from Ben-K, including a note that proclaimed his intention and a golden rose.

Konomama Ichikawa

He’s actually from Kakamigahara City, Gifu. Yes, he’s from the same prefecture as Shun.

He’ll lose to moves you never should lose to in times you’d only see in squashes. Sometimes he even taps out during a move that isn’t a submission (like when he’s being held in a powerbomb position).

Kancho - a prank performed by clasping the hands together in the shape of a gun and attempting to poke the victim’s butthole.

Some of the people who have answered Ichikawa’s open challenge include Jun Akiyama, Yuji Nagata, The Great Sasuke, Necro Butcher, Akebono (rip king), Kensuke Sasaki, Abdullah The Butcher, Atsushi Onita, Yoshiaki Fujiwara, Keiji Muto, Shingo Takagi (returning from New Japan in a special only once a year appearance).

Ichikawa has only wrestled once this year so far, taking it easy and letting his body recover from getting beaten up mercilessly for about 25 years?

La Estrella

Should mention, the dates here on this slide are set up in DD/MM/YYYY order, as that is what I am familiar with.

Estrella was a talented amateur wrestler before getting into Dragongate, which is why he’s a bit older than you would expect something who debuted in 2020 to be. Does he use his amateur wrestling skills in the ring? If you make him, but for the most part, he’s flipping all over the place like you forgot to turn gravity on.

Estrella splits his time between DG and North America, wrestling in the U.S and Mexico.

Shuji Kondo

Kondo only has one championship reign in Dragongate (with it being a very recent Twin Gate reign with Kenoh as members of Kongo) as he was fired in December 2004 alongside the rest of Aagan Iisou for alleged behavioural issues. He only returned to Dragongate in 2019.

Kenichiro Arai

Just last year Araken had a match with GENTARO that got a bit of buzz in the English-speaking puro scene on Twitter. I haven’t seen it myself, but I heard a lot of good about it.

Araken is also a proud supporter of the Hanshin Tigers and was thrilled when they broke the Colonel Sanders statue river curse (look it up if you don’t know what I’m talking about, you won’t regret it).

Ryo Saito

SaiRyo has been in both Real Hazard and JIMMYZ (the same as Horiguchi). I don’t think I need to really explain how impressive it to be able to be in both one of the heel units and the face units, and it not feel weird at all. Genki and SaiRyo are amazing.

Queen Tomomi, Ami and Emi’s mother.

Tomomi was the eldest of three children and the heiress of Queen Yuina. She was always known to be very graceful, kind, and empathetic towards her family and subjects, taking things in stride. Compared to her timid husband King Yoshiaki, who hailed from the Hisakawa noble family, Tomomi was also rather reserved and calm in a way, but shared just as much protectiveness as he did. Between duties, Tomomi made time to take care of her daughters, which meant that handmaidens only seldomly were tasked to look after them. Over time Tomomi would prepare Ami to become the new queen, and she watched her and Emi grow up to be fine young ladies. Unfortunately, she would fall as a victim to an illness that would eventually take her life.

"Men have always fought each other, always creating chaos. That's familiar and safe. They know where they are in those circumstances, but to hazard a step into the unknown and actually love on another is far too risky for them. So if the demons do invade the world, bringing terror and misery with them, don't you think that men might welcome them as bearers of what they desire?"
