More Nura Foils I Was Thinking About

Aotabou & Shoukera

Ao is a monk who gave up his humanity to protect orphans and is compared to the raging god Shoumen Kongou, while Shoukera is a creature supposedly sent from heaven to report the sins of those on earth, with the only way to avoid this being to pray to the aforementioned Shoumen Kongou. Whether the heaven thing is literal or metaphorical isn’t entirely expanded upon, but it seems they have a sort of chaotic good vs. lawful evil dynamic going on.

Kurotabou & Yanagida

The only two members of the Hyaku Monogatari Clan who weren’t created by Sanmoto’s stories or wrought from his flesh, with one arising naturally from children’s folktales about a spirit who would protect them, and the other originally being Sanmoto’s human assistant. Kuro had to be brainwashed into joining the clan, but during his time there was a favorite of Sanmoto’s, while Yanagida was his most avid supporter for centuries yet still wasn’t recognized, not even being re-absorbed into his second demon form like the others. At least, that’s how Yanagida sees it for most of the series, it’s implied at the end that Sanmoto did this not as an act of disrespect but as wanting Yanagida to stick around as his most reliable supporter in case the second revival went south, which it did. The Nose on the other hand is implied to be a traitor who never showed up to this fight, whose power Sanmoto absorbed and then gave to Yanagida.

Kubinashi & Yuiyui

Kubinashi’s arc centers around the idea that true strength comes not in having nothing to lose and being free from obligation, but in protecting what one cares truly about, that being his clan. Yuiyui’s main battle tactic is an ability that causes allies to attack and kill each other, thus defiling the nature of what he stands for. Also, she destroyed Jorogumo’s clan who is implied to be one of his closest confidantes, who (along with Kejourou) helped weave his strings.

Ryuji & Tenkai

Both are considered untalented onmyouji who have to employ extra measures to get ahead, with Ryuji being a shrewd trickster who wins through deceit, and Tenkai being a rigorous scholar who with enough time was able to surpass a prodigy like Hidemoto. Tenkai is also someone Ryuji greatly admired in his youth, and was kind of disappointed that he ended being on the wrong side of history… but also glad to get the catharsis of finally surpassing him.

Kiyotsugu & Enchou

They both love youkai and ghost stories, but the way they express this passion is completely different. Kiyotsugu is initially just infatuated and mystified by Night Rikuo like the other human characters, but later comes to understand his ideals of creating a harmonious world and uses his own influence to help carry that out. Enchou is just kind of an agent of chaos who goes anywhere and does whatever so long as it’ll make an interesting tale. You think he’s with the Hyaki Monogatari Clan, but nah, he doesn’t really give a fuck, he’s just using them to create Ao Andon so… he and Rikuo can fight, I guess? His actions are pretty evil, but they’re not even evil in a normal villain sort of way, he has very little attachment to anything besides the thrill of ghost stories and in a weird way that’s respectable. Kinda like Big News Morgans.

Setsura & “The Nura Brides” (including her own daughter)

Setsura herself is the one who hints at this during one of her interactions with Otome, but it makes more sense the more you ponder it. She’s passionate, brooding, and outwardly intimidating, while they’re cheerful, unassuming, and carry their strength on the inside. Sure they have their own personalities within that archetype - Youhime is shy but also the angriest, Otome is the most subdued, Wakana is the most energetic, Tsurara is the most overprotective - but there’s still a general trend. This outward weakness is something Setsura initially looks down on, but comes to understand their hidden capabilities: Youhime has healing powers and an unexpected assertive side, Otome helps out at the school and the clan despite not needing to as well as having to deal with a husband who’s constantly away, Wakana was able to bring Rihan’s smile back, and Tsurara became Rikuo’s head aide. That’s not to say that they’re *superior* to best girl, but they have a lot they can bring to the table as well, and she had to realize that.

So I was clicking on random videos on YouTube again, as I do and you know I do, and I ended up on the channel of the Jazz Room Cortez venue in Mito, Japan, which has uploads of some performances there. Here's "JERK" being performed by four people who I'm not sure have an overall band name:

Daisuke Kawai: organ

Jiro Okada: bass

Hidenobu "KALTA" Otsuki: drums

Kiyotsugu Amano: guitar (also the composer)

A fate x nuramago blurb i word vomited abt a month ago and I never bothered to finish. more under the cut

Mysterious things have been occurring in Ukiyoe-town recently. Random accidents, explosions, and general destruction had suddenly popped up left and right, all without an apparent cause. For no rhyme and reason, Ukiyo-e had become a hotbed for mysterious and unexplainable incidents that left many innocents injured or dead. There's a tenseness in the air that's so palpable one would even struggle to cut through it with fear, and the Nura clan is left scrambling to investigate-- because Ukiyo-e is the Nura clan's main territory, and they have the responsibility to protect it and its civilians from harm... but how are they going to protect the town if they don't even know what's causing such death and destruction anyway?

Rikuo eyes Kuromaru casually and inconspicuously standing by the convenience store. He should be annoyed. He usually doesn't like having so many escorts, and he already knows from gut instinct alone that Kurotabo is somewhere to his right, hidden in plain sight as well, but the circumstances this time are dire. People have been dropping left and right, several buildings have gone down, and inexplicable accidents happen on the daily that it's become the norm now. They had no choice but to up their security tenfold as they investigate. He just has to convince himself that all of these security isn't just for him. They still ARE a yakuza clan after all. They have a duty to this town and its civilians, human or youkai alike.

"Kiyotsugu-kun, I don't think investigating the abandoned school again is a good idea..." Rikuo attempts, knowing full well it's a wasted effort with his friend here. "It's getting dangerous at night recently, I don't think we should be out after sundown."

"Nonsense! Don't you want to find out what's been causing all of this anyway, Nura-kun?" Kiyotsugu shoots back.

"I do, but I don't think we should be involving ourselves like this!" He's 90% sure this isn't anything yokai related anyway. He knows full well what's going on in their territory, but aside from these new humans moving in, no youkai has been doing anything suspicious enough to raise concern, let alone the alarm bells by attacking. Nobody wants to receive the Third Commander's ire after all.

They investigate the abandoned school anyway. Rikuo was outvoted, surprisingly enough. He thought Maki and the others would have had more sense in them to stop Kiyotsugu, but unfortunately he apparently, along with Kana, were the only ones concerned about their safety.

It just so happens that, on the way there, he notices a suspicious person entering the building before them. Making up an excuse to leave (leaving Tsurara with the group), he decides to tail the person.

It lead to a random classroom on the third floor. The stench of blood was so overwhelming that Rikuo could smell it immediately from halfway across the stairs. He can feel his heartbeat getting louder, gripping nenekirimaru hidden within his jacket so tight his hand turned white as he walks carefully towards the imposing classroom. Blood was leaking through the doorway, and Rikuo could only hold his breath, body wound tight as he prepares to attack on sight should the situation arises.

The sun starts setting. He enters the room, slamming the sliding door open.

Blood was splattered everywhere— in the floor, on the desks, the windows, even the blackboards. In the middle of the classroom stands a startled man, clearly not expecting a 12 year old to burst in. He immediately stops chanting, dropping an item to the floor in surprise. The mysterious person immediately moves to attack, grabbing a chair and flinging it to the enraged Rikuo who was able to dodge fluidly.

'This person... a human? He can't be a youkai, I can't feel any fear from this guy... and he's surprisingly weak.' the teen analyzes as he disarmed the older male, knocking him out cold with a swift smack on the back of the head with his saya. 'What the hell is he doing here?' Rikuo looks around the classroom, observing the gruesome mess in the dying sunlight filtering through the bloodstained window. He walks around. The energy in the room still hasn't dissipated, remaining charged as Rikuo walks through the mess of desks and chairs. There was a squelch, and Rikuo grimaces as he looks down on the floor. He's accidentally stepped in a pool of blood.

"Oh fuck,"

That was NOT just a pool of blood. His breath hitches as he makes a dash backward, the energy in the room swelling as it charges. Sparks start flying across the room, on the floor along where he just unknowingly stepped onto a summoning circle drawn ominously with blood.

Rikuo was unable to escape the room fast enough. The energy in the room exploded, rocking the building entirely as Rikuo got flung into the far wall of the room next door. Glasses askew and struggling to pull himself together, he blearily looks up. Debris was everywhere, the windows were broken and the desks are all either flung everywhere or in pieces. The smoke still hadn't dissipated yet, obscuring the young third heir's vision even more, not to mention the blood dripping from his forehead into his eyes. Rikuo coughs, ribs aching in protest as he shifts into a sitting position, leaning heavily on the wall.

Footsteps scrape by the floor from behind the obfuscating mist of dust. Distantly, Rikuo could see a vague silhouette of someone picking up what's undoubtedly nenekirimaru on the floor where he dropped it in the explosion and slowly started stalking towards him. The pain of being caught in an explosion in his human form, the possible concussion, and definite blood loss masked the burning sensation on his right hand. His breathing picked up as the figure slowly approached.

Shit, he's about to pass out. It's okay though, after that explosion Tsurara and the others will definitely come soon. He just needed to hold on.

The distinct sound of geta clad footsteps slow to a halt as the dust slowly starts to settle. Nenekirimaru, still sheathed, peeks out from the clouds of dust, pointing directly at his neck as a terrifyingly familiar voice calls out from within the darkness.

"I ask of thee..." The voice starts, filling Rikuo instantly with dread, the blood draining from his face as his breathing picks up.

Through the slowly dissipating mist stands Rihan, his cold, yellow eye looking down on him coldly, unrecognizing. "Are you my master?"

A Daily Nura Reminder...

Karasu Tengu is more internet savy then Rikuo and sometimes replies to users of "Kiyotsugu's Yokai Brain/website"

Kiyotsugu's Yokai Knowledge/Brain is a column in the Nurarihyon no Mago manga that is question and answer based, and answers questions by fans. These answers are in the pov of certain characters from the franchise. The name of the column imitates the name of Kiyotsugu's website in the series.

Owo what's this? A reason to use Tumblr again after... years? Okay just this once😳

Dax can't hear the sound of saltwater splashing against the shore anymore.

The room is a deathly kind of quiet, the silence only broken by short, harsh breathing.

In a lot of ways, Alma is still very childish.

Nestled on a cliff on the coast, there is a school.

"Right through here," Kiyotsugu says. "See? I told you it's this way!"

#3 is cheating a bit, since that fic doesn't have a definitive beginning or end yet, so I just started with a bit that's chronologically near the beginning.

This ask game has made me realize just how little actual content I've written compared to my story notes... Whoops

Unfortunately since I'm not active I'm Tumblr I don't have anyone to tag that hasn't already done this. But if you want to do this, consider yourself tagged!

[fisticuffs-bee]

yknow that one tumblr post thats about some girl's toast preferences and her partner is roasting her for it bc it's barely even toast? yeah that but it's tsurara and yura. bonus my vision of post-canon tsurara (kiyotsugu and kana also have that shirt)

the anime gutted Kiyotsugu man. Why did they get rid of his richboy shenanigans. The hot springs on Mt Nejireme (Gyuki clan arc) are part of his uncle's villa or something in the manga. He does some whole dramatic shit about student council president election (the assembly at which Inugami fight happens) & they cut that out too. Why 😭
