HIDEKI ISHIGAMI IN MSB VS HLITF

hey! so i’ve been meaning to make this post about one of my favorite voltage men, ishigami, for a while, so here we finally are! i hope you enjoy!

WARNING: THIS POST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS FROM ISHIGAMI’S MAIN STORY IN MSB AND HLITF

okay so in this post i’ll be comparing ishigami’s main stories in each game, his personality/him as a character and his connection with the mc. at the end, i’ll reveal my final thoughts and which version of ishigami i prefer.

alright, so first some context: hideki ishigami is a possible love interest in both hlitf and msb. in both stories, he works as detective, however in msb, he’s a deputy inspector who works for the public security devision, while in hlift, he ranks as captain and he specializes in information analysis. he first debuted in msb (2011). due to msb’s overwhelming success, the writers at voltage decided to give him, goto and kurosawa (other inspectors in msb) their own “spin off” game, thus hlitf (2014) was born.

despite sharing a name, ishigami in hlitf and ishigami in msb are drastically different! which is why i really wanted to compare the two for you today.

THE PLOTS

in msb, you are the daughter of the president and ishigami is a detective who happens to work closely with the bodyguards who’ve been hired to protect you.

in hlitf, you are a police cadet and ishigami is your instructor.

HIS CHARACTER

despite both being softcore tsundere’s/kuudere’s, ishigami is a lot kinder in msb than in hlitf. he’s still as cold and stand-offish but he’s wayyy less aggressive and he tends keeps most of his opinions to himself, contrary to ishigami in hlitf, who really doesn’t hold back. msb ishigami is like the strong quiet type, while hlitf ishigami is more of the scary quiet type. ishigami is also noticeably more awkward in msb, while ishigami in hlitf, comes off as very confident, borderline cocky. it could be argued that their differences in personality stem from the fact that ishigami technically works for you in msb, whilst in hlitf, he’s your instructor. but i think his personality was written differently simply so that it would fit in the storyline better. an “evil” instructor is way funnier and more entertaining than a polite instructor, and a curt detective makes more sense than an arrogant detective (in this context).

furthermore, although their backstories are similar, they’re not the same. ishigami’s backstory in msb is actually more tragic than his backstory in hlitf. in msb, ishigami grew up in the orphanage, while in hlitf, ishigami grew up in a loving adoptive family. this would explain ishigami’s awkwardness and uneasiness around people in msb.

HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH MC

(before you start dating)

in msb, ishigami works for the government, the government being your father, thus creating this weird superior/subordinate slash mutual friends slash coworkers who really respect each other dynamic. you both see each other as superior to the other, and since he works with people who are technically your employees (but also happen to be your friends), you remain fairly professional yet friendly towards one another.

in hlitf, it’s a completely different story. ishigami is your instructor, consequently creating a teacher/student dynamic. ishigami is cold, brutally honest and very critical of you (like any strict teacher), and you’re constantly seeking his approval (while simultaneously hating him).

(after you start dating)

ishigami in hlitf and ishigami in msb become extremely similar once you start dating. both are very caring, considerate, patient, thoughtful and both deeply value good communication.

MY FINAL THOUGHTS

i actually liked msb ishigami better than hlitf ishigami, which is surprising since i usually prefer the brutally honest asshole type. i think the only reason why is because msb ishigami really reminds me of someone in my personal life, who i deeply care for.

if we’re discussing stories, i think i liked ishigami’s msb main route better too. although both were good (despite their respective flaws), ishigami’s route in msb feels more organic in my opinion, like him and the mc fell in love because they wanted to, not because he was conveniently her instructor so it was kind of just bound to happen, you know what i mean? that’s just my opinion.

nonetheless i think both versions of ishigami are great and i really recommend both of his main routes! (his substories/sequels/epilogues really aren’t that great in my opinion tho)

[heytheretwentytwo]

I just wished they would make a Subaru route in HliTF (include Sora and Mizuki as well pls)

[leeinkie]

Ishigami and Goto My Sweet Bodyguard Discount Bundles! ❤

And without a time limit! Yay I have time to save up for them. Fell in love with Ishigami in this title, but followed him to HLITF after the main story lol

MY FAVORITE VOLTAGE BOYS

just a list of voltage boys i think about a lot, because no one asked.

the boys on the list are in order of least to most favorite, as well as on the image above (left being least favorite, right being most favorite)!

p. s. this post will probably really bad since i’m just rambling, so please excuse the lack of structure.

5. OTA KISAKI

coming in at number five we have, ota kisaki from kissed by the baddest bidder! he is a celebrity artist and high fashion model, and he is know for his... unique way of treating his lover. ota has this master pet kink in which he pretty much takes care of mc as though she’s his dog, even going as far as calling her koro (the name of his real late pet dog). i’ll admit, it kind of weirded me out at first, but i quickly got over it because i just love watching him take care of mc so much. he’s really bratty on the outside, but you can tell that he really really cares for mc and her well being, and he’d literally die for her.

i’ve read most of his stories, my favorite stories of his is probably his engagement cruise story (the season 4 main story) and his missing you sub story! his perfect family sub story and pov’s are really good too! his main stories from season 1 to 3 aren’t that great though, that’s probably why he’s last on this list.

4. SEIICHIROU HAYAMI

next up we have seiichirou hayami from my wedding and 7 rings! he is the stand-in ceo of sanno corporation as well as the director of the marriage program. he’s so curt yet so sweet and his robotic personality always cracks me up! although he comes off as a slightly pretentious at the beginning, once you get to know him better, you realize he’s really caring and he’s always so respectful towards mc, it honestly makes me melt. he’s also a surprisingly greedy lover, which i find adorable because he never really acts on it, so he just pouts in the corner when he gets jealous. oh, and i find his love for tropical fish to be really cute!

my favorite stories of his are his main story and his pov. i find his pov is especially good!

3. HIDEKI ISHIGAMI

next, we have hideki ishigami! more specifically, hideki ishigami from my sweet bodyguard! now, i know he has a route both on my sweet bodyguard and her love in the force, however i like him better in my sweet bodyguard, so i’m going to say that he’s from there. unlike in her love in the force, in my sweet bodyguard, he’s just so awkward. he tries to act all tough and cold, but man is too awkward to function at times, it’s adorable! he tries really hard to hide his affection for mc, but literally everybody and their mom knows that he’s in love her. he’s also surprisingly romantic once you begin dating him, which i really like!

i love his main story (season 1), as well as his main story pov sub story (i believe it’s called psd his pov set). i liked him a lot in the sub story, pajama talk, too!

2. JIN NAMBA

coming in at number two we have jin namba from her love in the force! clearly, i really like older guys, as you can see. he is the chief of the public safety police department and he is the oldest man on this list at 40 years of age. he’s sweet, caring and absolutely hilarious! his self deprecating/old guy humor and dad jokes crack me up every time! he’s also (in my opinion) the hottest man on this list (i mean, look at him). despite his cool exterior, he’s also really mysterious, like i don’t think we’ll ever truly know who jin namba really is.

my favorite stories of his are his main story pov (season 1) and his who i once was sub story! that sub story broke my heart, man, you have no idea.

1. MITSUNARI BABA

my favorite voltage man of all time is... mitsunari baba from kissed by the baddest bidder! this thief, i swear... he’s funny, caring, thoughtful, gentlemanly, generous, considerate and so relatable! he honestly has the best lines of the kissed by the bidder cast, he makes me laugh in every single story he’s in! he’s literally so supportive of mc, he’s so respectful towards her and he’s always and i mean ALWAYS there for her! he constantly makes sure she’s happy and he never hesitates to comes to her rescue when something’s wrong. also i just love how him and mc are like that gross couple you roll your eyes at in public.

what’s my favorite story of his? um, all of them? even the stories aren’t his like threes a crowd and his heart: shuichi. but i really loved him in the sub story the magic spell and his main story pov (season 1), those are the ones i reread the most.

before i end this post, here are some honorable mentions: shuichi hishikura from kissed by the baddest bidder, masaki saionji from diary of a step sister, yuki saejima from bad boys do it better and yakov chernenkov from be my princess!

Okay so as I’ve said before I’ve recently fallen back into old bad habits (meaning my binge-buying Voltage stories)

As I was reading Goto’s POV in MSB, I came across this gem:

Ishigami 😂...

HE DOESNT EVEN NEED TO SAY ANYTHING YOU CAN HEAR THE EXACTS THOUGHTS RUNNING THROUGH HIS HEAD

INSIDE ISHIGAMI’S HEAD:

[otomeshark]

And I was wondering what to bake for this year’s Christmas. Thanks, old MSB’s holiday stories! :D

[aqvarius]

Kurosawa: So here's the tea.

Ishigami: For the last time, it's called a police report.

Kurosawa: Do you want the tea or not?

[letsgosparkles]

Is anyone else having trouble when it comes to purchasing discount sets?? My game keeps crashing whenever I’m trying to buy one.

[demongamerkitty]

HLITF

So, even though this will probably show that I have a bit of problem, I don't care.

So, as of the main stories in HLITF, I've completed Kaga's, Shinonome's, Kurosawa's, Namba's, and Soma's.

I'm currently on Goto's. (If you are wondering why I am leaving Ishigami for my last one, it's because I'm not exactly excited to read his nor did I really like him in MSB. Granted, HLITF will be the first time I've read his main story. I never read the one in MSB, mostly because in the bodyguards' stories *when he would appear* I didn't exactly.. um, get a good impression. Maybe it's just me, I don't know)

Not going to lie, I wasn't expecting Goto's to go in the direction it did. Probably because I started with Kaga's and Shinonome's, and therefore thought they'd all kind of be.. um, I don't know how to explain it. Hopefully, someone out there, understands what I'm getting at, because man I suck with words. Or maybe I'm just weird, I don't know.

Either way, I like it. Goto, be prepared to get finished.

...

Ahem.
