#kiridai headcanons

[kirisaki-daichi-scenarios]

How'd you think kiridai, haizaki, imayoshi, nash and jason would use insta? (I know it isn't popular in Japan but still)

Hanamiya Makoto

his account used to be public but he made it private after getting fed up of having to delete comments like “you scumbag you broke my friend’s ribs rot in hell” from his posts which were just cute pictures of the kiridai cat (yes i’m bringing this ancient headcanon back) 

so now he only allows follows from people he knows and trusts which means literally just the kiridai team, imayoshi, maybe a couple classmates, and his mum 

and then within that circle, he has the other kiridai boys on his close friends list and they’re the ones who see the stories that ‘reveal his true nature’ 

like hanamiya sees that someone who played against him has made a post about their journey going through shoulder rehab (no guessing who gave them their shoulder issues), so he reposts that post to his close friends story with the caption “time for a round two?”

meanwhile the posts his mum sees are just pictures of the kiridai cat or pages from some books he’s been reading recently

(n.b. hanamiya’s mum very rarely uses instagram. she only uses the account to keep up with family members, and only made it in the first place because hanamiya had just made his and she wanted to make sure he didn’t get cyberbullied. 

meanwhile her son is the one who has been repeatedly suspended from instagram for bullying.)

Hara Kazuya

has a lot of accounts and if not for the fact that he has basketball and other hobbies he would be chronically online

so there’s one main account which has just a couple photos that make him look cool (a photo of him dunking, or him drumming with good lighting) and occasionally he’ll post a picture on his stories of the city under a dawn sky and a note of the time so everyone knows he’s out grinding streetball at stupid o’clock. 

the main account is his only public account and he only really has it so that, if anyone (family friends, basketball players from other schools) search him up, those curated posts are all they’ll see. he only posts that occasional story in order to see if anyone’s been stalking him.

then there’s the finsta which is what he’s most active on. he posts several times a week on this account and the posts are all either 1) shitposts and memes that make little to no sense, 2) pictures of fellow kiridai members at very bad angles, or 3) photos from matches that he wants to mock, like a picture of kiyoshi’s face in agony as his knee got broken with the caption “tfw tanaka-sensei sets a pop quiz.”

and finally hara has his assortment of troll accounts, most of which he uses to pretend to be a high school girl living in the general Tokyo area so that he can catfish classmates when he’s bored. 

hara has so many of these accounts that he’s created a cinematic universe of his own with elaborate storylines about the tumultuous friendships between these non-existent girls. they’ve become kiridai’s answer to d&d whenever the boys are bored.

plus these catfish accounts have now become strategic. several of the ‘girls’ are in talking stages, and even online relationships with, basketball players from other schools. this means that a) hara can get intel from the players and b) as soon as any important match comes around, he breaks up with/ghosts the guy, in the hope that it’ll make them place worse.

it goes without saying that it was hanamiya who invented this innovative technique of psychological warfare but hara’s the one who puts the hours in - to the point where it would be a little suspicious how well he can pretend to be a teen girl in love if not for the shit-eating grin on his face whenever he goes through his collection of screenshots of messages begging “her” to take them back 

(sidenote - can you imagine how well okamura would fall for this?) 

(i’m thinking of a yandere!okamura x catfish!hara fic…)

Furuhashi Kojiro 

has two Instagram accounts

account number one is the one his teammates/family/friends follow. it’s a private account that he doesn’t use very much apart from liking friends’ posts. he has a few photos on there, but mostly photos of scenery from holidays

account number two is public, with around 10k followers. it’s completely anonymous and no one irl knows he has it. this account posts quite regularly and every post is an aesthetic picture either of his plants or what he’s baked recently. and when i say aesthetic, i mean aesthetic: the perfect warm lighting and usually some berries or something framing the centrepiece of the photo. 

the captions are usually quite short and wholesome: “making melonpan can be difficult but i find the challenge refreshing” “when the days become stressful, i turn to these larch bonsai to remind myself to stand tall” “i am trying a new macaroon recipe. may it bring great riches.”

he’s also started posting some reels on this account, mostly timelapses of bread rising or plants growing etc

furu uses very few hashtags but somehow still gets super high engagement. his followers adore him and have collectively assumed he’s a fem lesbian living in the countryside somewhere with her beloved girlfriend. (furuhashi naturally never corrects anyone because he wants to keep it anonymous.) the comments are all “cottagecore queen” “i owe all my mental health to you” “the only unproblematic account on Instagram” 

so yeah, on instagram, furu is considered an angel

Jason Silver

this man has not posted a single photo where he is not shirtless

and his stories are like 30% videos from streetball practice and 70% thirst traps which he pretends he’s posting to show his gains... but everyone knows he’s just posting them to try attract the three women who followed him back

his following is around 50% ‘baddies’, 45% nba players, and 5% friends and a few streetballers that he’s played against before

(he follows very few streetballers because he thinks it’s beneath him to follow losers and see how they’re improving. he’s so good at basketball he has no need for that, duh.)

(in reality he has no need to stalk prospective opponents because nash does it for him.)

also actually headcanon that most of jason’s posts are videos of him breaking the hoop while dunking or just generally basketball action shots, because jason can’t pose in front of a camera to save his life

you can’t blame him really - that’s a lot of man to fit in one small lens

Haizaki Shougo

no profile photo, no posts: 100% anonymous account. man just uses his Instagram account to get material to jerk off too - pretty much every single account he follows is of an onlyfans model. (he would still be following some female classmates and kise’s ex girlfriend if not for the fact that they’ve all blocked him.)

in the end, haizaki has no friends to interact with and no aesthetic life he can post about, so why would be bother having a more social instagram

added bonus of the anonymous account is that he can use it to stalk others - and he does like his stalking. 

sometimes he stalks the gom’s accounts, and he tells himself it’s just to make fun of them being desperate for likes or looking pretentious, but really he gets a “what could have been” feeling from scrolling through all the photos (and it hurts -- especially seeing videos of them playing together like back in middle school.)

and sometimes haizaki stalks his fukuda sogo teammates. again, he tells himself it’s just to mock them, and he’ll see photos of them hanging out together and be like “what fucking losers who would want to be seen with them.” but there’s a little pang of loneliness in his heart all the same.

Yamazaki Hiroshi

has had the same instagram account since he was 10 and he never deletes or archives any posts so if you scroll far down enough, you’ll find videos of pre-pubescent him and hara doing ‘parkour’ (literally just jumping over benches and off swings) or those chain posts like “share this with five friends or you’ll be haunted forever.)

zaki’s is a private account with a couple hundred followers - his teammates obviously but also family, cousins, some classmates, some of hara’s catfish accounts, and even a couple fellow high school basketballers from distant enough teams that they somehow haven’t realised that zaki is a member of the infamous kiridai. 

he posts semi-regularly and mostly just very normal, mundane posts - photos from family holidays, a tasty udon noodle bowl he had the other day and maybe the occasional streetball photo (typically with one of the kiridai boys in the frame instead of zaki – zaki’s not a huge fan of photos of himself)

zaki’s feed is mostly hara’s shitposts and also streaming clips from his various video games, and if you do ever see his account in the ‘wild’, it will be him backing up hara’s finsta after hara made a particularly outrageous comment somewhere

because a real friendship takes two people: Person 1 who just stirs shit up, and Person 2 who defends Person 2’s shit-stirring by cursing out every commenter who criticises them

Knb x Bllk Crossover:

Which knb basketball teams would the Blue Lock boys be a part of?

Feat: Isagi Yoichi, Bachira Meguru, Shidou Ryusei, Mikage Reo, Nagi Seishiro, Kunigami Rensuke, Hiori Yo, Chirigiri Hyoma, Itoshi Rin, Itoshi Sae, Oliver Aiku, Shoei Barou, Zantetsu Tsurugi, Jyubei Ayru and Kenyu Yukimiya

Isagi, Bachira and Kunigami..... Seirin!

I think this one was already pretty obvious as Isagi's he's the main character, he wouldn't chose any of those private schools and instead go to a public one. I think he would get along well in a team like seirin

I have this headcanon that in the Knb universe Isagi and Bachira find eachother by both applying for the seirin basketball club

Kunigami just reminds me of Kiyoshi, at least pre-wild card Kunigami. Plus he doesn't strike me as a guy who has loaded parents, a simple school like seirin will do

Shidou and Rin..... Tōō!

I was torn between Kirisaki Daichi as well for Shidou due to rough play, however I quickly let that go as I don't see him going out of his way to ruin playing the sport all together in the name of violence (or as Hanamiya calls it: Rough Play) done in such a way Kiridai does

Secondly, I don't see him getting into a school such as prestigious as kiridai, Tōō is said to function more like a university therefore giving the students more liberty

As for Rin, I don't see him following in his brother's footsteps and going to Rakuzan out of spite and not wanting to live in his shadow any longer, so he chooses to go to a school that gives its students more liberty

Sae, Reo and Nagi..... Rakuzan!

Sae is known as 'The Protegy' and besides being given to play in Spain in bllk, I see him being accepted into a prestigious school like Rakuzan (yk, final boss vibes). Even though he's never looked at his report card, it's canon that he studies well

As for Reo, c'mon, he's a verified rich boy who's shit good at everything he does. How could he not get into the most prestigious school of all?

The only reason I chose rakuzan for Nagi is that it's canon that Reo and him go to the same school. Though I couldn't chosen Yosen since, ya know, they remind me a bit of Murasakibara and Himuro but I just don't see them entering a seemingly Christian school with all that western influence

Hiori and Chirigiri..... Kaijō!

Hiori's parents were the ones that enrolled him without his input, I'm sure of it. Due to the school having all sports club of national level, they probably think it would be the perfect school to hone his abilities

I don't have a specific for Chirigiri, I guess Kise's gonna have some tough pretty boy rivalry reason. Other than that just makes sense (at least to me) and that he'd fit in well (lmao I've probably said the same thing for almost every character)

Aiku, Yukimiya and Barou..... Yosen!

Yosen is a school that encourages western influence and apparently Aiku's half German and Swedish

For Barou, ughhh well I don't have a reason ✌️

I just see Yukimiya in Yosen, maybe Kaijō or Shūtoku, but Yosen makes more sense

Zantetsu and Ayru..... Shūtoku!

I just see these two in Shūtoku. Yeah, that's all you're gonna get 🤷

[hypothesiscosmos]

Azaka!

First impression: Until reaching the 6th movie on my first watch of KnK, I...actually thought she was kind of annoying, LMAO. Like, I think what put me off from her a little bit at first were the scenes where she gets snippy at Shiki for "stealing" Mikiya and whatnot and the fact her character type being kind of a brocon didn't appeal to me.

Impression now: That said, my opinion of her has changed over the past few years, so I like her now despite some of her flaws and whatnot! Just kinda wish that the 6th movie's writing wasn't kind of clumsy with showing her character depth at times...

Favorite moment: That tiny little blink-and-you-miss-it scene where she helped out Fujino during the 6th movie was cute. It's mostly a tie between that and the one where she goes kinda balls to the wall fighting that one creature to save Misaya Ouji!

Idea for a story: There's like a couple, but they're more crossover-based? Like, one of them is a KnK x KnB sidestory, where Misaya confronts her on why Azaka isn't stopping Fujino from aiding KiriDai (I think it might have a bit of a philosophical thing, but I'm still unsure about the direction where it might go hghhghg).

Unpopular opinion: What even is an unpopular opinion in a fandom this small, lmfao...uhh, I think she could get along with Hanamiya from KnB (as friends) despite their differences, ig ig

Favorite relationship: FUJINO...ngl, I do want to see more of that and her relationships with the other Reien Academy Girls too. I know there's that one untranslated novel, but that isn't enough for me 😭

Favorite headcanon: I'd like to think that Fujino's music tastes (which of in itself is also a headcanon) might have rubbed off on her a little, so if she ever feels really annoyed with Shiki, she turns on some heavy metal before blasting a plushie of her HAHAH. Touko finds this hilarious, for the occasions where she's also in the office with Azaka.

Kiridai vs Type of Girl They Like

With more explanation. All just my opinions, and headcanons (Not the most in depth analysis because they are overall self-explanatory)

Hanamiya - Stupid Girls

There are a few ways to look at this

We know from the light novel with Imayoshi(Chapter 6 of Replace V), and also the online-gaming drama cd(Knb Season 2 Drama Cd 4), Hanamiya puts up this facade as this friendly and humble guy. Whether this is something he does all the time or only sometimes, is up for debate.

A stupid girl would be someone who still falls for this facade. Since there are of course girls who already know what Hanamiya is really like. Unlike the early years of middle school, where most people thought Hanamiya was this nice kid, his reputation is now well known(he’s the “bad boy” for a reason). So all things considered, you might have to be really stupid, or just blissfully ignorant(so still stupid to Hanamiya)to fall for the facade still.

Another way to look at it is, you know how people say “Are you stupid?!” when they do something risky? Same type of deal here.

It’s not just with brains, it’s also a girl who is too brave to an idiotic degree. Or perhaps impulsive. Someone who stands up to him,who doesn’t quite know what they’re getting into when they confront him. It would be someone who did figure it out. They know Hanamiya is not a good person, but they were merely scratching the surface, and they’ll learn that eventually.

Either interpretation, it’s simply good entertainment for him really, especially the ecstasy he gets when the girl eventually realizes exactly who they are dealing with.

I think his type being “stupid girls” would imply he’s not really going into relationships, expecting anything serious? To give an exact quote from the knb 3ds game(knb: miracles to victory)in his conversation with Moriyama:(translation by grimmfeather)

“ I’m completely focused on basketball right now. I want to lay every moment of my high school years on the line, put my best foot forward every day, and win with the rest of my team… That’s why I don’t even have time to think about love and whatnot at the moment.”

(I haven’t actually heard the voice acting for this part, so idk if he said it in his fake nice persona, but regardless, most of this is probably half-heartedly said, especially the “best foot forward everyday and win with the rest of my team”, but the gist of it is true, about not thinking about love)

I think if he was actually serious, he would prefer someone with some degree of intelligence, not a complete lost cause. But who knows, life might/probably will throw him a curve ball.

Since he’s not expecting any relationship to go very far, he is caught off guard if/when one actually works out

Also side note, regarding the light novel with Imayoshi,  can I just say how concerning it is that Hanamiya has apparently been doing rough play since he was twelve years old???? And possibly earlier??

Seto - Intelligent Girls

The opposite of Hanamiya obviously. I mentioned that there are girls who already know what Hanamiya is like, regardless of the phony nice persona,  that is an example of who Seto would prefer.

Just someone who is smart enough to see through it(since Hanamiya’s nice act is apparently pretty convincing, though Seto saw right through it just like Imayoshi did), especially if it's a girl who is meeting Hanamiya for the first time and doesn’t know anything about him. The girls who do know Hanamiya’s nature, knew  from word of mouth, not from actually interacting with Hanamiya.

Seto isn’t really someone who wants to be in a relationship anytime soon, but Seto would see yet another girl who is fooled by Hanamiya and think “Well I know I wouldn’t want a girl that’s that dumb“ that would be why his preference is someone smart.

I mean I’m not saying that the only girls that Seto would be interested in are the ones who go through hanamiya first, but they would certainly intrigue him.

It’s interesting to think about what else Seto considers to be “marks of intelligence” though, since his intelligence is on another level.

Romantic or not, Seto generally is more drawn towards intelligent individuals.(which is part of why he has his eye on Imayoshi, according to Kurofes)He just likes having someone who he can have an intellectual conversation with, it's part of why he gets along well with Hanamiya. Simple small talk doesn’t really bode well, or won’t get you very far.

Cause the things he finds interesting, other people might not understand or know anything about.

Furuhashi - Masochists/Someone with Masochistic Tendencies

It reminds me of the shoujo manga Ookami Shoujo to Kuroo Ouji.Basically the guy is an ass to this girl, even when they start dating.

And the girl was described as a “Masochist”, because she puts up with the guy’s rude and sadistic tendencies. And basically one of the reasons why the relationship worked is because the girl kind of just accepted the way the guy was(and the guy ended up softening up on his own anyway). Other girls would run away or call him a jerk, and never try talking to him again. But this girl was persistent and stuck around and didn’t try to change him. The Guy just needed someone who would accept him for who he is, cause he was just the way he is.(a very watered down version of the manga, idk if i’d recommend it, but it’s out there.)

(Now that I think about it, the manga fits Hanamiya’s situation too...cause the guy puts up a kind “prince-like” facade, and finds enjoyment when the numerous girls he meets sees his true nature…..hm)

ANYWAY, this is how i’d describe Furuhashi’s preference as well. Him being a sadist is just the way he is, and he’s not going to change for anyone. He may soften up a bit, but he’ll be the same guy overall.

Masochist in this sense, would mean someone who would accept Furuhashi for who he is, a sadist. They wouldn’t expect him to change for them. Someone who will love him for him.

To actively choose to still be with him, despite everything may be considered “Masochistic”

He gets pissed when girls try to change him. When they think that just because they’re dating,he’s supposed to change who he is. Because he would think that the girl never actually loved “him”, they were just painting a fake version in their head and tried to make it a reality. Or mold him into their ideal boyfriend. I think Furuhashi has trust issues because of past experiences.

And yeah sure, we can also look at it in the typical sense as well (in a perhaps ‘nsfw’ type of way ) He gets great joy from the things he gets to do on the basketball team, and that he is able to get off scot-free. So of course he would want other means to be able to do similar things, when he eventually leaves basketball.

He’s intrigued at the idea that someone would enjoy being hurt(cause he’s used to being met with anger)

But I think there’s more to it than that.

Hara - Girls with Pretty Legs

Not much to it really. It means exactly what it says.

Interesting that Hara’s preference is the only one of Kiridai that is a physical attribute.

He’s actually one of four(I think) knb characters whose preference is physical attributes (the other ones are Aomine and Murasakibara, and kinda Tsugawa)

This would mean Hara is someone who is (usually) attracted to one’s appearance first, before their personality.

It’s really just legs that Hara finds to be pretty. Doesn’t have to be slender or anything like that.

Huge fan of thigh highs of course, especially when they’re visibly squeezing the thigh, even if it's barely(he’ll notice)

He's the type of guy who sees those pics of girls with thigh highs just barely squeezing the thighs, it’s barely noticeable, and says they’re “thicc”

If we’re thinking about personality traits that Hara would prefer, if there were any, it would be someone who is a bit laid back just like him.

Someone who understands his jokes, won’t be like a “stick in the mud”.

But at the same time, I can see Hara being interested in someone a bit more serious(not too much), because those people are more fun to mess with and tease lol

Yamazaki - Cheerful Girls

So pure…

A girl with an infectious smile. He would try his best and do all he can to see that smile over and over again. They would be a  ray of sun in a room and happy-go-lucky

I think it could provide a nice break from his time in the team?

Constantly seeing bruised and sometimes bleeding players takes a toll on Yamazaki, who barely supports it. The vibes of the team are overall dark and can be overwhelming.

A cheerful girl gives him a break from that and the boost of serotonin he needs.

Just someone who is positive cause he doesn’t always want to think about crushing other players or other people’s demise.

I can see Yamazaki having a crush on a girl who is super friendly to him but he always thinks “She’s nice to me, but she’s nice to everyone so there’s no way she likes me in ‘that way’”

The girl would be someone who accepts his “loudness”, for lack of better word? I can see Yamazaki holding back to try to seem more “presentable”. The girl would be someone who Yamazaki is comfortable with being himself.

Can I just reiterate how cute Yamazaki’s preference in girls is….we have stupid girls, intelligent girls, masochists, girls with pretty legs, and Yamazaki is here like “I like cheerful girls…”

An angel indeed….

[bokutosbiceps]

Salute! Can I ask for a script about Kiridai (for each guy)? Boys try to attract their girl's attention to themselves while she is very passionate about a book , movie, or drawing. Please.

ahhh yes i will 100% write this. i’ll do headcanons )

furuhashi koujirou

this is gonna be short

he would not care at all. not even for a second

he knows that when you’re finished w whatever you’re doing your attention will be his again 

he just finds something else to do or even leaves or sleeps

it’s really not that complicated to him

hanamiya makoto

he would notttt handle this well

he’d get so jealous lol

would be super spiteful + start ignoring you because he thinks you’re trying to ignore him on purpose

he’d be such a fucking baby about it oh my god

after a while, he’d get tired of ignoring you + would start picking on you

“whatcha doing whatcha doing whatcha doing whatcha doing ???”

he’d start poking you + ticking you + really just try to bother you

he’ll only stop once you start paying attention to him again + put down whatever you’re doing

listen, he’s just a little bit jealous of whatever you’re giving all of your attention to

once he finally gets your attention, he would deny that he was ever trying to get it + would 100% deny ever being needy

hara kazuya

honestly he’d be kinda okay w it

he’s a really chill dude + if you wanna spend some time doing what you’re passionate about it, who is he to stop you

it would bother him a little bit if this continued for longer than he liked

he’d start asking you what you’re doing + why you’re doing it + what’s so special about it + why you like it so much

he’d just bombard you with questions + make you answer them so that your attention is now on him

it’s actually pretty clever the way he gets your attention lol

if he didn’t get bothered by it though, he’d probably just chill alongside you

he’d grab something to occupy himself with + just sit there w you

or he’d just start doing whatever you’re doing since it seems to fun to you

either way, he’s not really all over you about it. he doesn’t get jealous often

seto kentarou

LISTEN IT REALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT KINDA MOOD THIS GUY IS IN

he can either be really chill about it + not care OR he can be an absolute dick about it

if he was feeling relaxed + you weren’t paying attention to him, he’d just chill w you

kinda like where hara where he’ll just grab something to occupy himself or he’ll do whatever you’re doing

if you’re drawing or painting he’ll possibly even start painting/drawing w you or might even be like “draw me”

BUT IF HE DECIDED TO BE A DICK ABOUT IT 

HE’D JUST LIKE WEDGE HIMSELF IN BETWEEN YOU + WHATEVER YOU’RE DOING

like if you’re watching a movie he’d stand right in front of the tv or if you’re reading a book he’d put his hand on the pages

he’d be a t o t a l dick about it you’d want to kill him

but it does get attention back so he’s okay w it

yamazaki hiroshi

he’d be totally okay w it

he’d actually think it was kinda cute that you were passionate about something to the extent of it taking up all of your attention

he’d find something else to do or wait for you to finish

he’s also a really chill guy + not needy/clingy at all 

he’s really easy to deal w

it wouldn’t be a problem at all lol

[knb-no-scenario]

Hi. I'm so glad you're open!😃 I like your posts. I would like to ask the reaction of the guys Kirisaki Daichi that class preshlos new guy and got his eye on their s/o. I'd be very glad if you'd take it up.

thank you!! ahh i’m not too familiar with the kiridai boys, sorry if i make them ooc ( ❛ᴗ❛ ) also, i made reaction headcanons + short scenes bc i’m not confident with long scenarios HAHA. hope this is what you’re asking for, i got a bit confused bc of the typo. (even tho i don’t really like the kiridai boys, these are actually kinda fun to write????)

Hanamiya

He notices the transfer student trying to attract your attention, and he does. not. like. it.

He knows that you dislike him getting into fights, so he tries to find an opportunity to teach the guy a lesson without you knowing.

Later, he finds out that the guy is going to try out for the basketball team.

gOTCHA, bastard.

“It’s easy. Just defeat me in a one-on-one and we’ll accept you to the team. Heck, I’ll even make you captain.”

The transfer guy looked at Hanamiya in disbelief. Why was he giving him such a deal? Then, it dawned upon him; he was standing in front of [Name]’s boyfriend. This guy in front of him must be pissed off that he was trying to steal you, his girlfriend. “Okay.” He agreed, determined to get you.

Hanamiya smirked as the rest of his team chuckled, all of them knowing that this bastard’s eyes won’t be shining by the time Hanamiya was done with him.

Furuhashi

How can he not know that the new transfer student has been watching you during class? He can see the way he blushes when you glance at him in confusion.

And holy shit, it makes his blood boil.

When you are aware of the transfer student’s advances and told him about it, Furuhashi decides to confront him.

“Please leave. I’m walking home with my boyfriend.”

Your words fell on deaf ears as the guy continued on pestering you, urging you to go home with him. You looked around desperately and sighed in relief when you saw Furuhashi calmly walking over. He bumped his shoulder with the guy so hard that the guy stumbled backwards.

“Make sure that I do not see your ass near my girl ever again because if I do,” Furuhashi’s dead eyes exuded so much anger that the guy had to resist trembling, “I’ll seriously beat up your sorry ass.”

Hara

He catches the new guy looking at you one day, but you were indifferent so he says nothing.

Then it happens more frequently - during math class, home economics, PE - enough was enough.

Even though he knows that you only love him and him alone, he doesn’t like it when other boys try to get your attention.

“[Name]-chan. Let’s eat.”

Even though Hara’s face was decorated with a smile, you knew that his smile was fake. You could feel the iciness emanating from it.

“Let’s go.” You stood up, eager to distance yourself from the new guy in your class that was trying so hard to get your attention.

“Ah, you must be [Name]-chan’s boyfriend. Nice to meet you.”

Glancing distastefully at his outstretched hand, Hara took his hand and squeezed it tight, glaring at him. “I would appreciate it if you don’t call my girlfriend so casually.” He made sure to squeeze his hand until the guy grimaced before letting go and putting an arm around your shoulder, walking away.

This much was enough; if the transfer student still tried to approach you, Hara would make sure to teach him a more painful lesson.

Seto

At first, he isn’t aware that the transfer student keeps staring at you in class because he actually listens to the teacher.

But then, he sees the transfer student asking you to eat together despite your constant rejection.

Until one day, he sees the guy trying to confess and he just kind of.. snaps.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t accept your feelings.”

You were persistent, but the transfer student was way more persistent. “Come on, [Name]-chan, what does he have that I don’t? Just break up with him.”

You sighed, “Please don’t call me by my first name. Also, I love Kentarō-kun. I’m not going to break up with him.”

“Ah, you’re just saying that.” The guy reached for your hand, but before he could touch you, Seto was next to you, gripping the guy’s hand so hard that he yelped in pain.

“Wow, you’re such a pest.” Seto hissed, having heard the entire conversation, “Get fucking lost already.. before I make you.”

Yamazaki

The moment he knows about the transfer student’s advances, he is outraged.

Especially when the guy tries to woo you by playing basketball during PE.

Does this idiot not know that you have a boyfriend that is in the Kirisaki Daiichi basketball team?

He wants to just straight up punch him, but he doesn’t want to upset you.

You sighed when the transfer student walked to you, grinning enthusiastically. Here we go again.

“Did you see that three pointer? I’m pretty good, aren’t I?”

“I’m pretty sure that a three pointer happens when someone shoots the ball from beyond the three point line. What you did just now was certainly not that.” An unamused voice came from behind him.

You smiled when you saw your boyfriend. “Hiroshi-kun.”

“Ah, who are you?” The transfer student’s smile faltered. He had seen this ‘Hiroshi-kun’ playing with the Kirisaki Daiichi basketball team.

“Me? I’m her boyfriend. And you must be..” He shoved the guy until he almost fell down, “Aah. You are the bastard who should back the fuck off.”

[animescenarios]

Headcanons please. KiriDai find their s/o sitting in a secluded part of the school, knees up to her chest and face in her crossed arms. She explains that she's just having a rough day and she'll be back to normal after she sulks a bit. What do they do?

Hanamiya:

- sighs at her explanation, clearly sensing that something was much worse than just a bad day

- he tries to persuade her to admit it, but when she curls up into a ball he decides to stop

- leaves her for a while to give her time, but shows up again and gets her out of school

- doesn’t like seeing his s/o down, it makes him feel uneasy

- brings her home and suggests watching a movie to get her mind off of things

Hara:

- plops down onto the floor beside her, trying to meet her gaze while she’s hiding behind her knees

- with a light but soft tone asks what’s wrong

- it’d help a lot if she decided to tell him, otherwise he’s clueless on what to do

- eventually decides to pat her head and grab her hand, pulling her out of the school building

- asks a lot of questions to trick her into giving him some hints

- takes her on a walk, maybe for ice-cream to cheer her up

Furuhashi:

- tells her to stop hiding and definitely doesn’t believe any excuses

- his mind immediately starts working on full speed, searching for things that might’ve caused her mood to drop

- it makes him worried that she’s avoiding explaining anything because he doesn’t know how to help

- decides to sit there with her in silence, wrapping his arm around her shoulders and waits until she either gets better or wants to talk

- there’s no way he’s gonna leave her alone

Seto:

- no need to tell him anything, it’s obvious from her pose and look that she’s not at her best

- doesn’t question her much because he doesn’t want to trigger anything even more

- asks if she wants to be left alone and acts from there, but would prefer to stay

- definitely doesn’t want her to “just be fine after a while”, no way, he wants to see her smile right now

- but doesn’t push

- he’s not the best with words of comfort, so instead tells her about his day and hopefully cheers her up

Yamazaki:

- he’s the one to shrug at first and take her words for granted, because everyone has some bad days and why would she lie to him?

- but doesn’t want her to just sit there, so he decides to take her to practice or to just spend the time doing something together

- treats her to her favorite meal and acts more goofy than usual

- understands if she wants to be alone for a while instead, but texts her often to check if she’s alright

the boys as bodyguards

dedicated to absolutely no one. sure this is an asks blog - does that mean i have to actually answer them? i know i know bad admins bad admins whatcha gonna do whatcha gonna do when they come for you but i had a dream ages ago now that involved bodyguards, tsunamis, and also a shit ton of murder. don't ask. anyway, it got me pondering. and then it took literal months to write this so i figured i'd post what i've got so far, and maybe i'll update with the rest of the boys later, depending on how well this does/how much time i have

hanamiya makoto

hanamiya’s the package deal

he’s the chief advisor; he’s the doctor; he’s the bodyguard; he’s the sniper. just a right hand man in every way possible.

i mean, he’s not literally your right hand man: he’s the leader of a team, and often it’ll be one of his men there next to you at events, but he’s always supervising or coordinating or collecting intel

ie he’s dedicated to his job. he does like engineering spider’s webs after all.

having said that, he’s also an uncontrollable prick

he’s the best at giving you advice, both in terms of navigating high society and in terms of actual business advice, but is he going to give that advice without slipping in a snide comment about how you should really know all this by now? when you tell him to make sure to take a break some time, is he going to stop himself from saying “maybe if you weren’t so incredibly useless on your own, i’d be able to.”

and sure maybe he’s breaking the universal declaration of human rights with what he does to the people who dare to try harm you, but you don’t know about that

need to know basis type beat

you don’t even have access to the full floor plans of your own property, which includes a basement you’ll never know about, let alone step foot in. hanamiya keeps that information very close to his chest.

gotta make sure his employer has plausable deniability

gotta make double sure that you don’t find out about half the things he does - from the ways he sources his information, to his very dodgy organised crime links, to the number of people that have sadly lost their lives in the name of “fuck it, you’re pissing me off” - because he hates when you bang on about bullshit like “laws” and “morals”

after all, if everyone followed your beloved laws and morals, then you’d have no need for his services

as he always tells you, he’s just your pet necessary evil

yamazaki hiroshi

i reckon he only got into the bodyguard business because he spent his childhood wanting to be a samurai but, well you know, that’s not really a job opportunity anymore

what it does mean though is that he’s all about bushido: mastering his work, bravery, honesty, etc - and above all else loyalty to one’s employer

on a random thursday afternoon, he’ll tell you, completely nonchalantly, straight face, “i would die for you if that’s what it takes. on my life, i’ll always keep you safe.”

you’re staring at him like wtf and/or trying to stop yourself blushing, but he thinks that’s a completely normal thing to say cause he’s just following bushido

of course, late one night, he’ll wake up realise how weird that came across and he’ll spend the next week trying not to blush whenever you talk to him

just like the time he spent a week kicking himself after you walked in on him training, shirtless and rather sweaty, and when you told him he should take a break, he said “but i need to train so my body can be at its best for you”

again, at the time that sounded very reasonable, serious, and totally bushido to him. it’s only later that he’s freaking out in his room like why in god’s name did he say that.

but hey that’s bodyguard!yamazaki for you. a little weird, a little socially inept, but loyal to a fault

haizaki shougo

can you imagine the number of jobs that this man has lost for sleeping on the job?

he’s only got his current gig looking after you because his prices are cheaper and you were getting desperate to find someone in your budget

he’s a ...uhh… unique bodyguard? in the sense that he’ll get you out of harms way eventually, but "eventually" is the key word there

haizaki actively ignores intel that a certain location might be dangerous, because he really just wants to get into fights. sure you might get in the way occasionally, maybe even get some nasty bruises, but hey you get what you pay for.

you want a good bodyguard, save up some money, idiot.

literally the only reason he got into being a bodyguard is so he can beat people up legally (and because he got dishourably discharged from the military); he doesn’t care that much about the whole ‘protecting’ side of things

he’s also the type to ditch you the minute a better paying job comes up (possibly combat work as a mercenary). however he’s not as cold-hearted as he may seem, and he’ll happily spend a day of leave breaking into your penthouse

so that when you return in the evening, he’s there sat on an armchair, grinning smugly, “man your security’s turned to shit since i left.”

shortly followed by, “miss me?”

jason silver

jason’s the quintessential bodyguard, cause, after all, having a very muscular 6’11 man follow you everywhere you go isn’t exactly subtle

but he’s recognisable for other reasons as well.

like the fact that he’ll accompany you to formal balls, and he’ll be the only man there with an undone tie - it’s such a massive argument trying to get him to wear an appropriate suit instead of his usual hoodies and sweatpants, that can anyone blame you for not having the energy to insist he stops undoing his tie as well?

he’s also not exactly one for professionality. like you’ll be minding your business, trying to network, and suddenly you’ll hear a wolf whistle by your ear and a “wouldn’t mind me a bit of that”

“jason, that’s the ambassador to norway. we’re having her over for dinner next week, so, with all due respect, shut the fuck up. and whisper next time, for heaven’s sake! what if someone had heard you?”

“shit, is it a crime to like some nice tits in this economy?”

and when you glare at him, genuinely furious, he grins, puts his hands up, and says, “sorry, sorry. forgot you don’t like me having eyes for anyone else, boss.”

but don’t get me wrong, jason’s not all evil contra to fujimaki’s propaganda

he is an incredibly good bodyguard - those animal instincts really help him out when it comes to getting you out of a sniper’s line of sight, or saving you from a bullet, or just assessing a room for potential entry points. and he packs a mean punch if anyone tries to try something on you, a solid ko.

no one’s getting past him essentially

the only problem is that it’s incredibly difficult to thank jason for saving your life, cause the last thing he needs is an ego boost or feeling like you owe him.

“seriously jason. i don’t know how i can ever repay you.”

“usually the payslip’s enough,” he smirks, “but you know that little lady ambassador-“

unsuprisingly, he’s not invited to the dinner.

I think out of everyone in KiriDai and aside from Hanamiya, Fujino would interact with Hara the most? Like yeah, it'd be kind of a little iffy at first, but the dude seems like he has kind of an infectious energy and I kinda headcanon him loving some bit of horror, which is a connecting point for both of them...also, Fujino would take most of his jokes surprisingly in stride, so they'd probably end up being somehow close friends.

Merry (belated) Christmas @naniething !!! Sorry for the slight delay! When I first got your assignment, I was so happy and excited to see kiridai! They’re my favorite team too, so I made sure to put a lot of love into this piece! It’s not very Christmassy, but I always liked to imagine them playing games together. I’d love to share kiridai headcanons with you sometime! Hope you have a wonderful rest of the year!

Kiridai vs Players They Have Their Eyes On

And why this could be the case(another interesting thing to look into!)

Referencing the Kurofes Book

Hanamiya - Has his eyes on Kiyoshi

An obvious one.A fellow non-rakuzan uncrowned king who is the exact opposite of him.

Like Furuhashi said, Hanamiya hates the type of person Kiyoshi is, and when things don’t go his way.

He wants to crush Kiyoshi so badly, both physically and mentally for his fluffy pure ideals. I’d imagine Hanamiya has met people like Kiyoshi, and is usually successful with breaking their pure beliefs, but Kiyoshi has been a brick wall for him.

Him being unsuccessful pisses him off beyond belief.

Things don’t go his way at crushing the type of guy that he hates??? Good god.

His whole point of joining basketball was that “there were a lot of annoying people there”

So of course he has his eyes on Kiyoshi, he’s his main target. An unbreakable one at that.

If anything, I think Hanamiya should take pointers from Murasakibara(fellow Kiyoshi hater lol), because he was more successful at breaking Kiyoshi

Seto - Has his eyes on Imayoshi

Fascinated that this is another smart and ruthless player that knows Hanamiya better than anyone. Imayoshi is almost like another Hanamiya, just minus the rough play, cause Imayoshi frankly doesn’t need it to still irritate the other players all the same.

And the fact that Hanamiya acknowledges and believes that Imayoshi is worse than himself??? Now that piqued Seto’s interest.

The “I don’t really know him, but are you one to talk?” line

Seto is still shocked that Kuroko was the one who ruined the spider web, something that Seto plays a key role in.  Hanamiya said that Seirin was the first to “ruin his plans”, so of course Seto was usually successful.

I actually think this is maybe why Seto feels comfortable sleeping during matches, because he doesn’t expect to fail. Every match beforehand was the same song and dance, so he didn’t have to worry about whatever happened earlier in the match, he assumed things would go according to plan as always.

So to see Imayoshi be able to stop Kuroko in the Seirin v. Touou 2 match, the player who essentially caused Seto to fail for the first time, only piqued his interests in the touou captain further.

I don’t think Seto is that passionate about basketball, but failing for the first time made him more motivated to practice(though it doesn’t really matter since the kiridai practices have become more brutal anyway after the seirin v. rakuzan match)

 He likely took the things he saw from the Seirin v. Touou 2 match and took it into consideration during practice, so if/when Kirisaki Daiichi meets with Seirin, he’ll be prepared.

Furuhashi - Has his eyes on Akashi

The other characters who have their eyes on Akashi (Nijimura, Shirogane, Midorima) have some noticeable relation to him, (Previous Teiko Captain, Head coach of Teiko, a close friend, respectively).

Furuhashi is the only one who doesn’t. So he’s purely looking from an outside perspective. As far as we know, he doesn’t personally know Akashi.

An obvious reason for the intrigue is just because of Akashi’s skills. That could be the reason why any player may have their eyes on a GoM. The question becomes “Why this particular GoM player?”

I think Furuhashi may be interested in ankle break, and learning it himself

He’s particularly interested in being able to make players kneel before him, instead of simply falling over.

His special ability is the worst of Kiridai so that must have proven tricky

Although Furuhashi is mainly on Kiridai for the roughplay, he perhaps has some interest in improving his basketball skills too.

And who better to look at than Akashi right?

His main interest in Akashi either stems from prior knowledge of him, or after watching the Seirin v. Rakuzan match.

Hara - Has his eyes on Murasakibara

The hardest for me to figure out honestly

Similar to Furuhashi, a case of “It’s natural to have your eyes on the GoM, so why is Murasakibara specifically the one that interests Hara the most?”

He’s also the only one with eyes on Murasakibara

I honestly think Hara simply admires him. His reason for joining basketball was because he thought it was cool right? Murasakibara may be one of the reasons, if not THE reason he thinks it’s cool. 

Murasakibara is so lax and yet he’s one of the top high school players in Japan?? That’s what struck Hara.

The two are similar. Purple hair, carefree/childish attitude(though their carefree-ness are different), though they still perform well in basketball despite this.

And actually since fujimaki depicted Hara with blonde hair in the manga, and there’s common headcanon that Hara dyes his hair. If you go with that headcanon, you can think that Hara chose lilac to kind of match Murasakibara(a huge stretch but why not)

Interestingly enough, Murasakibara is also a part of the health committee

Murasakibara also usually has something “in his mouth”, in his case its food. Though he never does during matches, unlike Hara and his gum.

I also like to imagine that Hara used to be the tallest of Kiridai before Seto joined, beating Hara by a couple of centimeters. This annoyed him a bit, could be a pride thing.

And here is Murasakibara who is undeniably the tallest out of the whole league, and he’s younger than Hara.

So I think it might just be the skills and similarities Hara sees in Murasakibara, and his height is an aspiration.

Yamazaki - Has his eyes on Moriyama

The only one with eyes on Moriyama, but unlike Hara, it was a bit easier to come up with reasons why.

Fellow Shooting Guard, fascinated by his unorthodox/underhanded shot

Might also be interested in Moriyama because of him being a ladies man. Not that Yamazaki  wants to be one himself or necessarily wants a relationship per se

Yamazaki being in Kiridai gives him a bad impression, even if he’s the most sensible guy. People generally tend to stay away from the group, and thus, away from him.

4 out of 5 are “bad”, what are the chances that the one guy left will be any different right?

The cheerful girls that Yamazaki prefers, or girls in general see him and immediately flee, which bothers him.

Moriyama being a ladies man might give Yamazaki pointers on how to seem more presentable to girls, so they won’t run at a first glance at his uniform.

Yamazaki only knows that Moriyama is a “ladies man” from word of mouth though, he doesn’t know that Moriyama isn’t that successful either lol

Also I just realized the name similarities? Its all a coincidence but

Kiyoshi and Imayoshi rhymes

Furuhashi and Akashi rhymes

Hara and Murasakibara rhymes

And Yamazaki and Moriyama both have “Yama” in their name

[baesketballers]

If I can chime in really quickly about this Hanamiya (and KiriDai by extension) vs. Haizaki thing - they're both pretty nasty dudes with bad personalities and low morals, but Hanamiya does the things he does because he wants to tear others down and sometimes literally break them, while Haizaki does the things he does because he literally just does whatever he wants without caring about others or the consequences to his actions. That being said, I'd say Haizaki is just the lesser of two evils

thehypestdeano said: And it’s shown that KiriDai doesn’t need to be violent in order to win, but they still do so to ruin morale of the opposing team by taking out their best players. Really, it’s just them being sadistic, there’s no other reason :/ Haizaki has injured other players on the court before too when he stomped on Kise’s bad foot during their game as a sort of last resort to hinder him, so he’s not above it, but he doesn’t seem like the type to do that unless he’s desperate, since he’s GOM level talent

(Very interesting discussion we have today!) Man I legit forgot that Haizaki stomped on Kise’s foot that was also freaking infuriating thank you for reminding me that the guy can also play foul if he wants to. 

I have to agree when you say Haizaki does stuff because he just does whatever he wants to do. That’s why I called him a grade-A douchebag. Aside from that, I really can’t overlook Kirisaki Daiichi’s playing style (if you can even call it that)… 

Anonymous said: 1-3 thanks for answering my question :) tbh i don’t really have to agree or disagree with you coz i myself don’t have an established opinion on hanamiya and kiridai. naturally when i first watched knb i hated all of them for hurting kiyoshi (i cried so much in those episodes). but as i think you know, bad boys have this appeal on women, and more esp if it’s in fiction. fans can just alter personalities or situations to suit their fantasies. i’ve requested for hanamiya on other scenario blogs

2-3because as a fangirl, i’m attracted to him. not his violent personality on-court ofc. but since it’s a girl’s fantasy, even someone’s personality such as hanamiya’s can be twisted to suit a romantic aspect. i guess that’s what’s drawing me and some others in? though obviously when you disregard fantasy and only see the way they injure people to secure their victory, it’s really disgusting.

3-3 some fans just overlook the reality (in the fiction), but i see that you don’t. that’s nice, though, sticking to your beliefs and morals :)

Hi anon, thanks for asking the question! I can understand when other fangirls/boys of Hanamiya/Kiridai are attracted to them because of the bad boy personality. I’ve read somewhere that girls (although I think this applies to boys too) tend to gravitate towards boys with their kind of personality because they want to be the one to “tame” the boys. As in, they want to be the one to “teach” these bad boys what love is and make them stop playing around or whatever. And I feel that this has some truth to it, although of course it doesn’t apply to everyone. So I understand that people are attracted to Hanamiya/Kiridai, just to make it clear, it’s not that I’m implicitly talking bad about people who like them. I was just expressing personal distaste.

Thank you for pointing out the fact that a fictional character’s personality can be twisted in fanmade stuff to cater to people’s fantasies (or even the creator’s fantasies). This is nearly always accurate to headcanons/scenarios/imagines: a writer that is not the original writer (fanwriters I guess, like me) can only guess/speculate/assume how the characters are going to react in a certain situation based on their personality that is shown in the series. Considering that Kuroko no Basket doesn’t really show romantic (and sexual) situations, writers can only imagine how these characters become when provided with said situations, and in this case, there is no right or wrong. It’s up to our imagination.

That said, when a writer portrays Hanamiya as secretly tsundere when he’s in love with his s/o, no one has the right to object. You can, of course, share and discuss the different ways each one of you interpret the character. Overlooking the “reality” while consuming fan-content is also somewhat okay to me, unless it becomes so off that it’s out of character (OOC, the lines of which are different according to different people) and throws me out of the experience lol

that’s nice, though, sticking to your beliefs and morals :)

I can be an idealist sometimes. In fact, I think I’m an idealist most of the time so that explains why I can’t write Hanamiya… 

Again, I’m sorry if any of you guys are waiting for the Kirisaki Daiichi gang to be included in the list of characters I can write, or if any of you guys are disappointed that Haizaki is in the list while Kiridai isn’t. I hope these discussion posts help you understand my reasoning. If you’d like to open discussion for other characters/hop in on this one (penny for your thoughts?), the askbox is yours ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

Story most underappreciated by the universe: idk Special Delivery? For once my jokes were actually on target.....i wrote it specifically for one person (who liked it) so i don’t really care if anyone else does? but i think it’s funny so yeah more people should read it Most fun story: Special Delivery by far. Sexiest story: Sedulous is the only one with a sex scene lmao. other stuff can be sexy too but u know. Hardest story to write: Sweep of the Sword had been in my wip folder for a very long time (months? a year?) by the time i actually got around to finishing it. for a long time I just had a vague idea of Masako teaching Alex something about swords and i didn’t know what to do with it. Most unintentionally telling story: uh. idk...any unintentionally telling ones are so unintentional i can’t even see it now lol

when the game first starts, he’s all jokes and smiles. when he starts realising what a good position you’ve got your pieces in, his face goes a bit tense, his back’s a little stiffer

he’s still grinning and chatting - cause he can’t look like he’s having to seriously concentrate - but it’s just not sincere anymore

when it’s finally checkmate, he leans back and says, “what a surprise. you’re just so skilled”

with just a light dosing of sarcasm, really trying to make you doubt whether you won through skill or because he let you win

whereas, inside, he’s running through the game again trying to figure out where he could have possibly gone wrong to have let this happen

because it has to be because he made a mistake, and not because you saw a bigger game than him, right?

it takes several more matches (with hanamiya becoming increasing less chatty/self-confident, and much more focused, probably reading up on different gambits and openings in the evening) before hanamiya starts to admit you’re a better a player than him and starts asking for advice

though, of course, he’s not going phrase it like that

it’s more of a “how much chess have you been playing, you nerd?” or “weird move. what was the point of that?”

you know, normal compliments
