I think the strongest direct Ryuji parallel is just that RGGJo is also a There Can Only Be One Dragon-type bitch. But I honestly don't think it chafes him for the same reasons as Ryuji lol, because there's also the element of Ichi "copying" his design and "doing it better" (in a meta sense, on account of Horitomo handling his tattoo but not RGGJo's.) It's a fun callback and good set-dressing for what amounts to two sons squabbling for their dad's approval.
It's kind of fun to think about for real though, because in Ryuji's RGGO story, the Arakawa Family are tasked with assassinating Ryuji. And Jo's all ready to go but Arakawa makes the crucial decision to assign Ichi to the job instead. While Ichi does Empty An Entire Clip into Ryuji and it's badass as hell, he's also nice enough to get him immediate medical attention, which Jo wouldn't have been. Wild that Ryuji would be dead long before K2 if Jo and Ryuji really had met at that time.
Outside of that... perhaps a hot take... but I think Ryuji would be RGGJo's "type." Because the instant he meets Kagami (Tendo's counterpart, whom I personally prefer to Tendo himself lol) they hit it off. By which I mean RGGJo was blatantly flirting with him and batting his eyelashes going "Oh, you wouldn't want to fight little old me, I'm delicate." And, you know, Kagami's supposed to be The Ryujicore Guy, sort of in the vein of Watase in Y5 but even more so.
And I think the reason they get along so well--they, as "old-fashioned" yakuza, value strength above all else within other yakuza--is also something that transferred to Y7Jo, if his monologue in The Eye Scene is anything to go by. So that's perhaps another parallel with Ryuji that originated with RGGO, although Majima and some others are the same way, so perhaps not.
That's definitely the strongest connection between RGGJo and Ryuji, it's an aspect I was immediately able to pick up on when I was first reading through RGGO (and again, it is really funny from the lens of Ichi and Jo being bickering brothers just pointing at each other and going 'I did it first, you copied me!' and whining to dad about it lmao)
Ryuji's penchant for escaping death's pretty funny (if we want to count him surviving in Dead Souls as canonical, this is twice now): bless Ichiban for reserving his right to kill so we could at least meet Ryuji first (though now I can't help but to imagine Ryuji as some heinous beast they've been tasked to hunt down. I guess Ryuji being so large and having a fur coat doesn't help get rid of that imagination: Arakawa Family hunting trip anyone?).
SPEAKING of unmissable Ryuji traits in RGGO, Kagami was ESPECIALLY an absolute slap in the face for RGG to be like 'hey you guys remember Ryuji'. I almost laughed seeing him, but I didn't hate him of course, I was just surprised they really introduced a character so objectively inspired by Ryuji. I think you're onto something though: they could definitely click if given the chance (and now I do wonder what would have happened if RGGJo was sent to kill Ryuji instead…).
#long post#holder until i think of a tag for these asks#snap chats#i was going to include this in the main body but i thought i might have started to veer off Elsewhere#but in regards to the respect to strength and hierarchy while its true many characters possess that adherence to it#it feels as though ryuji's is the most prominent- at least in the strength aspect. esp with how physically large he is#like mine and nishiki react with violence because of personal reasons (yumi's sister being killed/daigo being insulted)#meanwhile ryuji acts with violence mostly because he sees someone as an inconvenience#tho with sengoku i suppose it was personal.. and to his credit daigo was the one swinging fists first for him to respond#i guess ryuji just has more opportunities to react with violence lmao#all in all i guess it's not strictly a parallel to ryuji- the most i can say is that jo is similarly shown to be more outwardly violent#on that note. completely jumping to a different paragraph in this ask.#all i could be reminded with the kagami paragraph was that 'i'm just a little birthday boy' post ☠️☠️#same energy..#but man what IF RGGJo and ryuji got to meet. definitely a fun What If to think about#in any case ive also got myself laughing at the idea of a hunting trip with ichi and jo now#if ichi cant bring himself to kill nancy after getting attached to her i just wanna know how he'd do with like. rabbits.#not saying im any better no i could never but i'd still want to see it LMAO

Making breakfast for you | Persona 5 men
Featuring: Joker/Ren, Ryuji, Yusuke, Akechi, Maruki x reader separate
Genre: Fluff
Notes: I was so happy to see some many notes on First Kisses, I wanted to write more fluff. 🫠
Tumblr media
Joker
He makes curry for you since it’s all he’s good at
Just kidding
He’s interested in cooking, but doesn’t have much experience that his cooking is not as good as it could be
However anything he makes, even he can make normal food look enticing
Will give you a bowl of rice with side of miso soup, single serving of meat or seafood plated generously and aesthetically with thinly sliced vegetables
Honestly I think he could also make you a delicious Japanese breakfast rice bowl - everything in a bowl arranged neatly
Or rice omelet I think he would be so good at making that like it’s so simple but somehow he makes the dish his own and you don’t know what ingredient he used that you can’t seem to replicate his dish
Neither of of you have much cooking skills but if you do know how to cook, he would love to try all the foods you know how to make
He’ll definitely do all the dishes if you make him food for the rest of his life 😆
Ryuji
He would sincerely try his hand at making a homemade breakfast for you
Especially foods that are good for keeping up your energy since that’s how he usually prepared his meals when he was on the track team
I can imagine something like sausage and egg with pancakes and fresh squeezed orange juice - something simple and with protein???
I think he would prefer if you made food not because he doesn’t want to make food but because he thinks your food tastes so much better than his
He loves to see you cooking in an apron and thinks that you are really just good at whatever it is that you put your mind to and what you’re good at
Also really just wants to eat your cooking 24/7
He will definitely make you food on holidays like birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
Yusuke
Would 100% make you a homemade meal of traditional Japanese foods
He’s really gained an appreciation for his cooking skills jr jsjt for himself but be as he can be sure to make you jutrkojsal folds he knows will help you physical and well being
Interested in different ways food can be made like the purposes for the different pasta types
Will make things like tempura and daikon carrot salad for you
Would have even prepared a desert for you; egg custard seems light enough while being fluffy and sweet
Loves to eat together with you and loves to hear you say itadakimasu and gochisousama deshta for the food
When you surprise him by making a meal for him, for each dish he’ll compliment all the ways that you used an ingredient really well and how you were artistic with the food🫠
Loves to see that you’re interested in cooking but of course wouldn’t want you cooking alone so oftentimes he will join you and he thinks it’s a nice exercise in relationship building
Akechi
Since he’s really popular as idol detective and working cases with the police he hardly has time to eat often taking short meals and vitamins to make up
But he understands and appreciates the importance of enjoying a home cooked meal
Likes to think about how different parts of a dish complement each other
Really just likes to have company and maybe some good music to enjoy food
Other times if he’s not so busy with work he’ll meal prep over the weekend
I think he would really strong flavored foods or foods with subtle taste since they take advantage of deep flavors and seasonings
He would loved to make you a simple breakfast of toast with herb butter and fresh preserves with steamed egg something light since neither of you eat much in the mornings
Also don’t forget the glass of water and tea with your neals
No matter what kind of cook you were he would appreciate what you make no matter what and will always eating everything even if it was one of your “failed experiments”🤣
Will try to guess/name all the spices and ingredients your food in the end saying your food is delicious
Maruki
I don’t want to say he has lots of time to make a meal
But as someone who spends a workday in the councilors room during school he has plenty of time after school or during the weekend to do grocery shopping and he’s very diligent about it too
Loves to think about reactions that take place in the food and likes to use wine to cook and other ingredients
Sees the benefit for meal prepping but won’t do it so much
Loves to have a whole feast almost trying to get foods of all colors while also having nutritional value like fried eggplant and chestnut rice!
Honestly he would appreciate it if you cook for him but he does it for himself so often he doesn’t mind and actually prefers to be the one cooking
Wouldn’t mind if you sat and watched him 🫠

Do you have top 10 or top 7 favorite (fictional) characters (if you feel like listing multiple) of all time from any media?
That is actually a very tricky question, dear Anon. For you see the list if my favourite characters is CONSTANTLY changing. Similar to my list of my favourite songs haha. So I cannot give you a set "All time Favourite” list but I can offer you a "List of Characters Tyriq enjoys at this very moment on the 18th of March 2024”
1) Nero Claudius from Fate/Extra, Fate/Last Encore, Fate/Extella and Fate/Grand Order
Tumblr media
The second I had first heard this woman say "umu” that was it for me. I knew I’d be obsessed with her for the rest of my days. She is adorable, she is loyal, she is THAT GIRL, a queen, an emperess, a goddess, and just seeing her instantly makes my brain pump out serotonin. Who even needs anti depressants when you can have Nero.
2) Vash the Stampede from Trigun Stampede
Tumblr media
Babygirl. Princess. Loserboy. Golden Retriever Puppy. Beloved Wife. He’s adorable, pathetic, a wonderfully tragic yet optimistic character. He’s my beautiful little princess and I lay my life down before him.
3)Yoimiya from Genshin Impact
Tumblr media
Her absolute happy go lucky attitude and sweet personality is like liquid gold shot straight into my arteries. I had fallen in love with this woman the very second I had laid eyes on her. Also she has been my main for two years at this point she’s genuinly just that fun to play.
4) Kaveh from Genshin Impact
Tumblr media
The suffering artist trope CRANKED UP TO ELEVEN! Again like Vash this man is equally tragic as he is kindhearted and despite having been scammed out of his money multiple times he still cannot help but sacrifice his own well being if it would result in someone else’s happiness. Also before you ask: Yes, I do ship him and Alhaitham
5) Ichiban Kasuga from Yakuza
Tumblr media
What else can I say about Ichiban other than he’s almost stupidly optimistic and no matter how hard of a curveball life throws at him, he ALWAYS keeps the attitude of "once you hit rock bottom the only way is up.”, always trying to both see and bring out the best in people. Also he’s a massive Dragon Quest fan so obviously I’d end up obsessing over this beautiful specimen of a man who at the age of 42 still is not 100% sure where women pee from.
6) Erik from Dragon Quest XI
Tumblr media
Honestly I could have EASILY put the entire main cast of Dragon Quest XI on this list because the characters of that game are simply that likeable and well written, but if I had to choose one, it would have to be your very first party member and the hero’s best friend and totally platonic roommate Erik. This man’s sassy attitude yet undying loyalty and devotion towards the hero is so strong not even the apocalypse itself could tear the hero and Erik apart for long.
7) Ryuji Sakamoto from Persona 5
Tumblr media
I think at this point y’all are starting to see a pattern in my favourite characters: Ryuji is loyal like a golden retriever puppy, absolutely adorable and sweet with a severe lack of Braincells.
8) Silver the Hedgehog from the Sonic the Hedgehog Franchise
Tumblr media
Silver has literally been my favourite Sonic character since Childhood. His whole stick is that he’s unbeatable optimistic. Despite becoming from an apocalyptic future where everything is covered in flames, he never stops believing that things can become better if you try. His naivety however leads to characters like Mephilis abusing his optimism for their own agenda. But none of that stops Silver from
being one of my greatest comfort characters.
9) William James Moriarty from Moriarty the Patriot
Tumblr media
✨Be Gay. Do Crime✨
✨Communism✨
✨Clinical Depression✨
All these things and more describe William James Moriarty and he’s so valid for it.
10) The Professor from Puppet History
Tumblr media
He’s just a little guy. He’s a little guy and it’s his birthday

Akeshu meeting as infants
I've seen the admittedly very wholesome fanart of Akiren and Goro meeting as children, or the tiny fanfics (I've only really found one, if anyone knows of the existence of more, don't hesitate to link them)
Childhood AUs are adorable.
But might I add my own twist??
What if our fated Persona user rivals originally met when they were----tinnier.
Babyhood AU, if you will.
The Phantom Thieves have canon birthdays and birth years, although Akiren's isn't listed, he obviously has to be born the same year as Ann and Ryuji since he shares a school grade with them. As for his month and day, I headcanon all the Persona Protagonists (P3, P4, and P5) birthdays are the day their game first released in Japan. Since canonically P4s Protagonist, Yu Narukami, shares a B day with his game release (All the Investigation Teams scooter license numbers are of their birthdays, and Yu's happens to be the day his game released). So if P4 follows that logic, why not P3 & P5? It's the best evidence we have to go off of 🤷‍♀️.
Point is, that would make Akiren's birthday, September 15th 1999
We know from Atlus Twitter birthday announcements and P5 character biographies in Japan, all the other PTs birthdays easily (excluding Morgana)
So we know Akechi's is June 2nd 1998.
Goro was a year and 15 months old when Akiren was born.
So let's imagine a scenario where---Akiren and Akechi's mothers both decided to take their infants to the Park. And they just so happen to be sitting on the same bench.
In Japan, the seasons to visit parks are Spring or Autumn, apparently. So let's say it's Mid-Spring, April.
April of 2000.
Mamakechi and mama---whichever you headcanon Akiren's surname to be. I haven't seen anyone combine his surname so I don't know which one to use to satisfy both parties.
Anyway, both mothers take their sons to the park since it's a nice day. They can't obviously play on any equipment since they are too young, so they would just be laying in their mother's arms, or if a bit older, exploring the greenery but still sticking close.
Goro would be 22 months, so would be more mobile, while Akiren would be 7 or 6 months depending if this is before or after April 15th. 6-7 month olds can roll over and maybe start to crawl at that time, and maybe babble.
So Akiren wouldn't be able to do much, or "play" like 22 month old Goro could. But since toddlers are usually pretty interested in younger infants, and try to interact, I could see Mamakechi and protagmom introducing their babies to each other, and trying to get them to interact.
"Goro, look! It's a baby. You used to be that little once. Can you say 'hi'? Be gentle, don't pinch or poke him."
Akiren stares back, with innocent curious eyes, and being cradled in his mother's arms. She tells Mamakechi that he's not very talkative. Not "shy" persei- he just prefers to watch people quietly, and tolerates one sided interactions with fellow infants fine, he's just a "little man of few words".
Mamaprotag gently puppeteer's one of Akiren's pudgy arm to wave back at Goro.
I just find baby Goro and Akiren meeting and interacting concept to be so wholesome and precious. You could even headcanon it more as possibly being canon, because---honestly, who remembers being 7 month or 1 year olds? Our memories and "awareness" doesn't kick in until a couple more years. The earliest memories I can recall was at four years old.
And you could write this as a one off chance meeting. Maybe one of them happened to be in the same city and place at that moment, but they move around alot so didn't exchange contact info to keep in touch for future interactions and playdates so their sons could grow up together.
Just----wholsome baby Akiren and Goro! Give me some fanart and one-shot fics of this!

PLEASE 💥💳💥💥💳 SOME RYUJI DATING HEADCANONS 💳💥💳💥 (+NSFW if u don't mind, cause you already know this man is a BEAST in bed! I'm talking exTREME stamina!) I'm in LOVE with that man!!! 😩
Ahhhh Ryuji's first request, YES I will happily oblige. I love that big silly man, he's so funny to me. Also his outfits are so styling, wtf. Headcanons below the cut, sorry it took a bit to get to this one. Hope you have a great day/night!
Ryuji plans THE best dates. Just when you think you've done it all and gone everywhere with Ryuji, he WILL find someplace new to go and new things to do. He really likes experiencing things with you as to him nothing is more meaningful than time spent with you.
Totally the type of guy to be a very proud boyfriend. If people at the Omi Alliance asks where he's going that evening, he will proudly and probably way too loudly respond with "I am gonna get dinner with my wonderful partner!" with a huge grin on his face.
Speaking of dinner, going on dinner dates is his absolute favorite type of date. He's very attentive to what your favorite snacks, meals, and drinks are and commits it all to memory. Picks the most amazing restaurants for anniversaries and birthdays, always complete with a private table and a bottle of your favorite alcohol.
Says things like "Order whatever ya want, babe" or "I saw ya admiring this outfit the other day so I went ahead and bought it for ya. Hope I got the right size" as gift giving is absolutely his love language. He also likes shopping the most out of the boys and doesn't find it to be tedious at all. He loves seeing your face light up when you find something you like and since money is no object to him, he is more than happy to spoil you rotten.
As much as he loves giving you gifts, he also loves receiving them. There's no one on earth that's as appreciative of gifts as Ryuji. He'll always react to gifts from you by saying "Wow, for me? Really?" before wrapping you into a big bear hug. He's so used to thinking about other people that it really moves him when someone does the same for him.
He's got the softest spot for pets so don't ever ask him if he wants to go to a cat café because he will never say no. Animals also really like him, whenever he goes to a cat café, all the kittens pile into his lap. Dogs at the park happily lick his face when he tries to pet them. Totally the type of boyfriend to beg for the two of you to get a pet one day.
When it comes to physical affection, Ryuji isn't shy. He likes to walk around hand in hand or with his arm draped around your waist or around your shoulders. Pretty affectionate with kissing and does it often. He's lazy at cuddling though, he just sort of drapes his arm over you.
He's got a pretty average sex drive but his stamina is quite above average. Ryuji is a balanced sex partner, equally giving and receiving. Open to trying new things but tends to let you lead the way in that regard. If you express an interest in trying something out, he'll at least give it a shot.
Ryuji is rough during sex, mostly on accident. He just gets caught up in it and would not actually hurt you intentionally, unless you're into that. Has a bad habit of giving you a LOT of hickeys because he just gets overzealous during sex.
Fairly noisy during sex, although it's more of a grunting or rumbling sound than an outright moan. He likes it when you make a lot of noises though and he will totally tease you about it, so if you're into that, he's going to take advantage of that.
Good at aftercare. Will give you massages, get you tea, and check on you. One of his favorite things is taking a nice warm bubble bath with you. He can do this either sexually or romantically depending on you're both feeling. He just thinks it's a cute thing to do.
Be warned, this man snores quite a bit. Also, he has a bad habit of walking around his bedroom totally naked but if you ask, he'll throw a robe on.

Bullied No More 4-5
Chapter 4
Finally a night of judgement day. Shota head to the place that Akira said.
The dense foliage of bushes and trees enveloped the landscape around the dilapidated ruins of the former industrial site, creating an eerie ambiance. Slowly, the moonlit sky cast its illumination onto the crumbling structures, giving off a haunting effect.
As Shota approached the rendezvous point, he found himself marveling at the surroundings. Despite the isolation of the location, it had an air of mystery about it—an ideal setting for his grand scheme. Drawing closer, he noticed that someone seemed to be waiting for him.
Although partially concealed amidst the shrubbery, the silhouette standing motionless revealed itself to be none other than Akira. Relief surged through Shota as he realized that he hadn't arrived too early nor missed their meeting entirely. Quietly, they began to strategize the rest of their operation, ensuring nothing went wrong once Ryuji entered the picture.
The pair proceeded to scavenge for firewood to sustain their vigil during the hours ahead. They gathered several fallen tree limbs and dry leaves strewn across the earth.
Using their bare hands, they managed to ignite the materials with relative ease, quickly producing flames dancing beneath the dim glow of the moonlight. Once satisfied with the intensity of the fire, they took turns warming themselves beside the crackling inferno. The warmth offered temporary relief from the chilliness of the evening, though it didn’t dispel the ominous atmosphere lingering throughout the deserted terrain.
"Now you need to hide , got big brush there where you can hide and clearly see me, Wait silently until i signal you, ok?." Akira said.
"Ok!" Shota nods. He move to the brush just not far form, hiding. Let's Hiroki or Akira waiting for Ryuji come.
Ryuji arrive little later than expected. Maybe because he party whole night with his gang yesterday.
"Hey, Hiroki!" Ryuji greeting to his best friend.
"Yo, Ryuboy. Finally show up Hm!" Hiroki reply. "Think you forget about my birthday.. " Hiroki do fake sobbing.
"Stop do fake cry! You know i will not miss my best friend birthday!"
Ryuji exclaimed, putting on a convincing smile. "Let's celebrate properly, eh? We haven't hung out much recently since we joined the football club.
"Nah, you know, my old man want me to act as "A man who will conqure a future of Namisawa group", Damn shit. So he not want me to hang out too often."
While talking, Ryuji grabbed the bottle of whiskey from his bag. He took a swig from it and handed it to Hiroki, inviting him to partake in the liquid courage. Hiroki accepted cautiously, taking a modest sip, allowing the strong spirit to burn down his throat.
Both friends continued to chat animatedly, unaware of the hidden spectator watching closely from afar. Feeling increasingly anxious yet determined, Shota maintained his silent vigil.
Hiroki try not to take too much, but keep filling Ryuji's glasses.
His face became flush, eyes glazed, breath heavy. Yet he retained his sense of confidence and self-control, impressive given his diminishing mental faculties.
Understanding full well what transpired inside Ryuji's brain, Shota anxiously waited for the opportune moment. His hand trembled slightly, betraying his nerves. He reminded himself repeatedly why he was here — for justice and retribution against the vicious perpetrator that tormented him daily.
With baited breath, Shota eagerly observed as Hiroki skillfully manipulated events, lulling Ryuji further intoxication. Time was running out. Just a little more, and the opportunity awaited them.
Finally, Hiroki succeeded in getting Ryuji completely unconscious, leaving him collapsed against a tree trunk.
Hiroki turn his face to where Shota is hiding. then show his thumb up.
Shouting triumphantly, Shota emerged from his hiding spot within the surrounding foliage. With practiced efficiency, he produced the precious vial containing the potion a "Miracle drug".
"Finally we do it right?" Hiroki said.
Shota nods without word, he walk to unconcious Ryuji. who laid on the ground, snoring.
Glancing furtively toward Akira for approval, Shota hesitated briefly before approaching the prostrate figure. His pulse raced madly as he inched ever closer to achieving his objective.
Stepping away from the darkness of the forest brush, Shota positioned himself directly above Ryuji. A sudden rush of euphoria coursed through his veins as he looked upon his lifeless victim. All these years of suffering bore fruit today.
In his palms, Shota held the means to exact sweet revenge upon Ryuji. This newfound power electrified him like nothing else, driving away the coldness seeping through his clothes. He couldn't believe his luck.
Suddenly aware of his impending victory, Shota felt alive, as if each pore absorbed energy from the world around him. Every fibre of his body hummed with electricity, while anticipation coursed through his veins. This was his time to reclaim something vital taken from him so long ago.
He pour a "Miracle drug" in to Ryuji's mouth.
Shaking back, Ryuji struggle for a second, but soon fall deep into unconsciousness. There it is. The miraculous transformation begins.
Samething that happen when Hiroki take "Miracle drug" now showing on Ryuji.Ryuji body start to deflat like a balloon lost it air.
Shota feel nervous excitement, he watch Ryuji's muscle lose their definition, turning soft, limp, vulnerable. When it finish what left is only Ryuji's skinsuit wearing loose clothes on the floor. Wait for new owner.
As ethernal that he wait, Shota move to Ryuji's skinsuit and his belongs. Shota pick Ryuji's skinsuit up. all clothes was fall down to the floor left only a flatten body of Ryuji, wait for Shota to wear.
Shota feels immense satisfaction and accomplishment at having completed his task successfully. In fact, the very thought of possessing Ryuji's skin excites him beyond measure. He knows that it might seem morbid, but he sees it as payback for all those times Ryuji hurt him, physically and emotionally. He put the skinsuit down, and start to strip himself.
As he did, his heart racing in anticipation, a thrilling sensation surging through his entire body. Each piece of clothing shed revealing layers upon layers of raw sensuality.
Feeling liberated, Shota discarded all traces of his previous existence, embarking on a journey towards claiming ownership of a fresh new persona. Like peeling off layers of skin, he gradually stripped away his individuality, symbolizing a rebirth of sorts.
"Yo Yo slowly boys, No ways he will run aways right?" Hiroki said as he laugh to how rush Shota was.
Shota smirked at his friend's teasing remark, acknowledging the humor in the situation. Both young men shared a bond borne from their collective pain inflicted by Ryuji and his cronies.
They stood, frozen in silence for a few moments, gazing intently at Ryuji's deflating body lying helplessly on the ground. Their faces displayed expressions of sheer disbelief mixed with elation, as reality set in.
This marked the beginning of their grand experiment, and its success hinged upon the successful transition into their newly acquired personas.
Shota pick Ryuji's skin suit up, then he start to pull skinsuit's mouth open wide. Hiroki don't hesitate to go help. Compare to when Akira take Hiroki his size still not this much different. Shota is so short and little frame compare to Ryuji. But with both boys work together finally both Shota legs is fill in Ryuji's skinsuit.
It wasn't perfect fit, but it would suffice for the immediate task at hand. Gripping onto the material tightly, Shota took a deep breath. He closed his eyes for a brief moment. Then it's happen, his legs is start to fill in skinsuit's legs. longer, bigger. Until it's show only Ryuji sport legs.
"Ha ha ha, you know you look so wried in this stage. Your legs is so long and muscle. while your upper body seem timit compare to them." Hiroki laugh.
Then Hiroki help Shota to put in his body in skinsuit. His tiny arm like fill in a large loose glove. Even it's challange, but finally Shota was in full Ryuji's body suit.
Looking at Shota transform, one could say that it was truly an amazing sight. Shota had transformed almost entirely – his once frail arms now resembled robust tree branches, extending effortlessly, their strength undeniably impressive. Even his formerly delicate hands seemed to exude masculinity. It was astonishing to witness firsthand how quickly Shota's body began adapting to the physical attributes of his former enemy. The change was evident across his entire being, encompassing subtleties such as posture, gait, and facial expression.
Standing tall and proud, Shota radiated confidence, commanding respect despite the foreign surroundings. Shota marveled at his metamorphosis. He glanced sideways at his alter ego—the once feared bully turned into a mere shell. Satisfaction permeated every fiber of his being, instilling an irresistible urge to taste vengeance.
The two friends grinned broadly at each other, reveling in their accomplishments thus far. Having claimed control over Ryuji's life, their mission appeared complete. However, there remained the matter of replacing themselves with their targets. This final step would require great care and precision. Shifting uneasily in his borrowed body, Shota silently contemplated the complexities involved in assuming someone else's identity.
To ensure their efforts were not futile, Hiroki suggested they test their abilities by engaging in typical activities associated with their counterparts.
Stepping into Ryuji's shoes, Shota relished the feeling of dominance that came with inhabiting his rival's life. Conversely, Hiroki struggled to maintain the stoic composure usually attributed to Ryuji, finding it challenging to suppress his natural inclination for warmth and compassion. Nonetheless, they persisted, taking advantage of every available resource to immerse themselves fully in their roles.
Overwhelming waves of sexual attraction consumed Shota as he assumed Ryuji's persona. He look at Hiroki. He can see a passion is Hiroki's eyes. Still nake he walk toward Hiroki.
Understanding his intentions, Hiroki didn't resist, instead allowing Shota to take the lead. Embracing their new personas, the pair indulged in the most daring and erotic display possible. Sensually, they explored each other's bodies, testing the limits of human endurance and pleasure. Shota traced Hiroki's lithe muscles, feeling the heat generated by the contact. Hiroki reciprocated, drawing attention to the intricacies of Shota's well-defined features.
He ran his fingers along Shota's sharp jawline, admiring the contrast between Ryuji's hardened visage and Shota's tender countenance. Breathless and trembling, they continued to explore each other’s bodies, further cementing their connection. With gentle nibbles and kisses, they traversed from lips to neck, leaving behind a trail of moans and gasps. Their movements became increasingly fervent, as they sought solace amidst the chaos of their tumultuous lives.
Inhibitions faded into insignificance as lustful desires gave way to primal instincts. Shota grabbed hold of Hiroki's firm ass cheeks, squeezing them with intensity. Simultaneously, Hiroki pressed his palm against Shota's erect penis, stroking it gently yet determinedly. They moved rhythmically, becoming entwined with each other in a dance of ecstatic passion. The scent of sweat, sex, and uncertainty filled the air, intensifying the ambiance surrounding the lovers.
Under Shota's influence, Ryuji's previously subdued libido emerged with renewed vigor. The pair found solace in the comforting embrace of each other's arms, surrendering completely to the intense wave of passion consuming them. Together, they navigated the labyrinthine path of desire, seeking out the sweet release hidden beneath layers of repressed emotions.
Drenched in sweat, they climaxed simultaneously, collapsing onto the ground in exhaustion.
Panting heavily, Shota buried his face in Hiroki's shoulder, inhaling deeply to savor the lingering essence of their encounter. Meanwhile, Hiroki caressed Shota's back, whispering endearments that fueled the fires of passion burning inside him.
For several minutes, neither spoke nor moved, content in basking in the afterglow of their experience. Eventually, though, they felt obligated to return to their primary objectives. With heavy hearts, they knew their time together must come to an end.
Shota or now Ryuji standing, walk to what Ryuji belongings that left on the ground. Hiroki watching quietly know this is the time for Shota to fully took Ryuji's place.
Shota start to pickup Ryuji's clothes.
First, he grab Ryuji's favorite Spendex Red Bikini. Smelling the fabric, Shota couldn't contain his excitement. The familiar scent triggered memories of Ryuji's cruelty, making him feel stronger and more determined than ever before. He held the garment close to his nose, inhaling deeply, absorbing the unique essence of his nemesis. The smell sent shivers down his spine, heightening his sense of power and satisfaction.
Next, Shota picked up Ryuji's boxers. These too carried the same tantalizing scent, stirring within him a mixture of repulsion and fascination. He examined the worn fabric closely, observing the subtle signs of damage caused by years of usage. He touched the seams, running his fingers along the edges, committing these details to memory.
Each scratch, mark, and wrinkle bore witness to Ryuji's life experiences, adding depth to the fabric itself. Intrigued by the concept of possessing such tangible remnants of Ryuji's existence, Shota placed the boxers aside to examine the rest of the items.
Feeling triumphant, Shota moved on to inspect Ryuji's jacket, another prized possession. Carefully holding the sleeves between his thumb and index finger, he breathed in the familiar mix of fabric softener and body odor.
Each sniff provided a window into Ryuji's personal space, imprinting indelibly upon Shota's sensory memory. Adjusting the jacket around his shoulders, he noted the subtle creasing near the elbow where it often rubbed against his books during class. The faint outline revealed a piece of Ryuji's daily routine, reinforcing Shota's growing attachment to his host's possessions.
Satisfied with his findings, Shota proceeded to inspect the remainder of Ryuji's clothing collection.
There lay a pair of jeans emblazoned with numerous holes scattered throughout its surface, evidence of prior confrontations that occurred during Ryuji's rebellious youth. A thick leather belt hung nearby, bearing traces of dirt collected from various locales frequented by Ryuji. All of these articles served as silent witnesses to Ryuji's history, offering Shota a comprehensive understanding of his adversary's life.
As Shota gathered these relics, Hiroki observed discreetly from afar.
Recognizing the importance of this moment, he offered silent support, patiently waiting for Shota to assume his role as Ryuji fully. Shota carefully donned Ryuji's clothing, mentally preparing himself for his transformation. Each item added to his ensemble symbolized the culmination of his journey toward reclaiming what was rightfully his.
Fully dressed in Ryuji's attire, Shota start to flash with Ryuji's memory. slowly but it never stop.
It seemed like forever since they had last engaged in such acts of intimacy. Yet somehow, Shota found immense gratification in revisiting the uncharted territory of Ryuji's psyche. His breath quickened as he imagined how different this experience might be if he were truly Ryuji, experiencing the world through newfound eyes.
Having established a solid foundation for their bond, Hiroki felt emboldened enough to express his own needs.
"Now pal, I understand when you say, you still be Akira, while act as Hiroki." said Shota, but in Ryuji's voice, tone and style.
He shifted his weight from one foot to the other, a wicked smile playing across his lips. “Yes, my friend” he replied, adopting Hiroki's usual mannerisms. The sudden change in persona caught Hiroki off guard, causing him to falter slightly.
Ryuji smile, "Now we got new world to explore right? pal!"
Ryuji laughed, placing a hand affectionately on Hiroki's shoulder. This gesture caught Hiroki off guard once again – the tenderness displayed by Ryuji only amplified the stark difference between their former selves.
"Sigh... I think i need some time to familar with this new Ryuji" sighed Hiroki.
Both laugh with content
"Take your time," chuckled Ryuji, playfully poking Hiroki's ribcage.
Chapter 5
In the school after judgement weekend. Ryuji on the limo to school, his driver just stay in silent cause his boss's son don't want to talk with mere driver.
When finally arrived at school, Ryuji step out of the limo, looking around school campus. He never realize how beautiful this place until today, maybe because today is special, he's different, and everything seems different to him too. Even sunlight hit differently nowadays, seem brighter, warmer compared to yesterday.
The morning light danced gracefully across the verdant landscape, casting a serene atmosphere upon the hallowed grounds. Birdsongs harmoniously accompanied the early risers as they began their routines.
"Yo, pal" familar voice greeting. Ryuji turn to Hiroki that entering school gate with fake boring face.
"There, there who here. my damn friend, Hiroki finally approch..."
"Damn Ryuboy! you must shame, even take limo to school everyday, you still almost late compare to me that need to walk here."
Ryuji smirk. "We should have race see who arrive first, bet?"
Hiroki grinned mischievously, "Sounds fun, let's do it. We haven't really had a proper challenge since our little escapade."
This brought a wave of nostalgia rushing through Ryuji, flooding his mind with images of past encounters. Sensing this, Hiroki quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, did you hear about Tomoko's party tonight? She mentioned something about inviting popular kids, so I thought we could crash it for some entertainment."
Ryuji raised an eyebrow. "Crash her party? Why would we bother doing that?"
Hiroki grinned cockily. "Well, she invited us, didn't she? Besides, I heard she has quite a reputation among girls."
At this remark, Ryuji perked up considerably. "Reputation among girls, you say?Ryuji's eyes gaze piercing to Hiroki.
"Ok Ok! no more joke." Hiroki laugh. he look around, see no one looking. Step in and kiss on Ryuji's cheek.
His heart racing, Ryuji turned towards Hiroki, feeling his lover's gentle touch resonate deep within him. Closing his eyes, he allowed himself to succumb entirely to the tender connection forming between them.
But then Hiroki run away with laugh.
"Ryuboy, if you not run now, you will late you know!"
Hiroki continued, taunting Ryuji playfully. Unwilling to lose this friendly competition, Ryuji broke into a swift jog, catching up to Hiroki effortlessly.
They raced through the hallways, skirting the crowds of curious onlookers who recognized the two renowned figures of their school. Their determination to reach the finish line ahead of each other ignited a fierce rivalry, fueling a mutual desire to assert dominance over the other.
In the class room, Teacher seem worry. Akira still absent, and now his close friend Shota also disappear. Ryuji watch on empty seat that use to be a Shota place. He feel a bit sorry to his parents, even he left a letter that say he need torun away from home for some reasons. To make sure that his parent will not desperate about his disappear. He decide that will sent mail to his home time to time to show that he still alive, well.
At the evening in soccor club.
Both boys sit on benches, watching sunset painting sky with brilliant colors. Feeling tranquility fill the air around them, Ryuji leaned back, closing his eyes briefly to savor the warmth of the setting sun.
They resting after a heavy training, now watch other teamate clearing the field to call it end for today.
"Do you think, we done right thing?" Ryuji's asked.
Hiroki hesitated before answering honestly. "I am unsure. But perhaps taking control of our fates feels better than being helpless victims anymore. If anything, this gives us the power to rewrite our destinies."
Ryuji mulled over Hiroki's response, nodding in agreement. "And perhaps, our true purpose lies beyond the walls of this school—somewhere else, where we can create a life free from judgment and expectations."
Looking towards the horizon, Hiroki smiled dreamily.
"At least, form tomorrw... Ryuji who love to bully people will no more" Ryuji said. "I will finally decide that bully people is such a waste of time."
"So, from tomorrow, what will you choose instead?" Hiroki probed gently.
"I don't know, but I only know that it's better for other people. those who always a prey, such as Shota, Akira... right?" Ryuji asked.
"Umm.. I guess so, if we continue bully people just to show who we are. May someone... going to seek for revange the same ways Shota and Akira do. A vicious circle right?" Hiroki whisper while look upon the sky.
'Let's hope our future days aren't filled with darkness.' He confided softly, a solemn expression crossing his features.
Ryuji looked deeply into Hiroki's eyes, sensing his vulnerability amidst all the changes. 'If there ever comes a time when the night turns darker,' he promised, cupping Hiroki's cheeks lovingly, 'know that I won't leave your side.
In the forest near tokyo, there was an abandon hut. One boy standing in front of the door. He look nervous.
Hands clenched tightly, he took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves. Steadying himself, he reached for the keyring dangling from his pocket, its worn metal surface reflecting the dim light filtering through the trees overhead. Pulling the small key from its loop, he inserted it cautiously into the rusty lock, turning it smoothly clockwise. As the tumblers clicked satisfyingly into place, he pushed open the creaky wooden door, admitting a faint whiff of dust and decay into the crisp autumn air.
Entering the abandoned hut, the interior appeared even gloomier than outside, a testament to years of neglect. Cobweb-covered windows cast eerie patterns onto the floor, adding to the overall sense of mystery surrounding the building. Despite these ominous signs, the boy pressed forward into the depths of the structure.
With each step taken, the ground beneath his feet groaned in protest against the passage of time. Dust swirled silently in the low beam of light provided by a single lantern, illuminating the dilapidated space with a somber radiance.
Suddenly he saw a figure standing in the dark.
Panicking, his hands shook as he tried to pull the flashlight. The sudden brightness revealed another person standing in the corner of the hut. The man, in black jacket with hoods. Standing there silently.
the mysterious stranger stared unwaveringly at the young visitor, leaving him trembling from unease. Finally breaking the silence, the intruder spoke with a voice like gravel, raspy yet oddly calming.
"So you finally here, hmmm"
said the mysterious man. His words felt like sharp stones rubbed against a raw wound. Yet, the boy couldn't help but stand his ground, despite the uneasiness he felt.
Despite the situation, the boy managed to ask cautiously, “Who…are you?”
"My name is none of your concern, boy.” The stranger replied coldly, causing the boy’s knees to buckle slightly under the weight of his secrecy.
"But you come here to looking for me isn't it?"
the mysterious man prodded, studying the quivering boy intently. There was a brief pause as the young visitor summoned enough courage to respond.
"Yes," he murmured quietly, though he wasn't certain why exactly he had ventured here. The answer seemed insignificant and vague, but strangely fitting.
"If you are that one, t. t .The Dealer..." boy whispering.
The Dealer giggle.
"You follow the bread so far but still not sure what you found?"
The Dealer questioned, maintaining a cool exterior, despite the boy’s evident distress.
Fear coursing through his veins, the boy fought hard to find his composure. Taking a deep breath, he slowly regained focus.
"So, it real? D.D.Do you have it?"
The Dealer not answer, he pick up a vial form his pocket.
The boy feel his pulse quickening rapidly. Is this it? This object hold the key to changing his destiny?
He looks at the strange man, confusion etched across his face. "What is that?" he asks timidly, pointing toward the vial.
The Dealer chuckles once again, enjoying the suspenseful moment. "That, my dear boy, is the potion that shall change your fate forever."
The boy blinks, processing the implications of the statement. "Changing my fate... Yes! Yes! the rumor was real! That damn Ryuji! I will, I will! "
Can you really give me this potion?", the boy eagerly asked, holding his breath.
The Dealer smirked sardonically, enjoying the young boy's excitement. "Ah yes, lad, it's yours for the asking. Just remember, nothing good comes without sacrifice."
Confusion clouded the boy's face. What does he mean by sacrifice? Does he require blood or payment? Surely this potion cannot cost too much.
"You know everything have a price, boys..." The Dealer smile "So how much you will pay?" The Dealer asked, again this question that will always get same answer... everyone always thrown anything they have to bend their destiny. No one can stop themself and think, is it really worth? What really price will be at the end. He can only laugh form eternity to eternity.
Boy shout "I will.....!"

let's talk about nate's family!
━  nate's  father  daniel  was  a  guitarist  and  taught  nate  how  to  play  the  guitar  when  he  was  younger.  for  his  10th  birthday  nate  received  his  very  own  acoustic  guitar  from  his  dad,  the  same  one  which  he  later  smashes  after  daniel  dies.  now  the  plot  twist:  daniel  was  actually  part  of  ryuji's  (rei's  dad)  band.  yep,  he  was  their  guitarist.  nate  is  two  years  older  than  rei,  and  ryuji  left  japan  at  some  point  and  moved  to  america,  where  he  wanted to  achieve  his  goal,  that's  when he  met  daniel.  back  then  he  played  at  a  bar.  so  yeah,  rei  &  nate  are  not  only  connected  bc  they're  childhood  friends  but  also  because  their  parents  knew  each  other.  if  daniel  knew  rei  was  ryuji's  daughter  when  he  met  her  as  a  child,  man  ...  things  would  have  been  a  little  different.
Tumblr media
━  his  mother  jennifer  worked  at  the  same  bar  where  daniel  performed  as  guitarist, before he joined a band.  after  his  death  she  quit,  she  could  no  longer  bare  to  work  at  a  place  where  she  would  no  longer  see  him  play  music,  and  there  were  just  too  many  memories.  jennifer  now  works  at  a  diner,  and  like  it  was  destiny's  calling,  she  met  a  certain  prosecutor  who  quickly  became  a  regular  costumer  and  eventually  her  new  husband.
Tumblr media
━  nate's  grandmother  grace  was  actually  a  professional  pianist  back  in  the  day!  when  she  retired  she  moved  to  the  countryside  because  she  always  hated  the  city,  which  is  interesting  because  her  son  daniel  loved  the  city  life.  he  believed  the  countryside  was  too  boring  for  his  taste.  this also explains why  daniel  got  into  music  in  the  first  place.  grace  never  actually  married,  or  rather  she  never  got  the  chance to.  similiar  to  nate,  daniel's  dad  died  in  an  accident  when  he  was  just  a  baby.  he  was  grace's  one  true  love,  and  she  never  fell  in  love  with  another  person  again.  instead,  she  focused  on  her  piano  and  raising  daniel.  the  fact  she  lost  her  only  son  in  a  similiar  way  years later tore  her  apart  but  her  grandson  gave  her  the  strength  to  keep  going.  nate  feels  forever  grateful  to  her.  after  she  passed  away,  he  even  got  a  tattoo  dedicated  to  her.

various headcanons that i forgot aren't actually canon pt. 3
the draw sword guild team, who definitely aren't my favorites
Firstly, I don't know why, but I made the jump of headcanon-ing Hoshino Minoru as Goto Ryuji's nephew. This isn't canon but I refer to it a lot, so I just wanted to clarify straight away this is not part of the manhwa!
Reiji had a really long lasting emo phase. It kept going even when he was a hunter, and only stopped when he was promoted to vice guild leader. But he still has tattoos and piercings from back then, and it drives the team wild (they figure out he has his tits pierced and he never knows peace)
Tatsumi was in university to become an engineer. He tends to do random things whenever he gets bored. As in, dismantling the communal kitchen dishwasher and trying to "upgrade it to maximum efficiency," or taking apart various devices to try and "create a homemade roomba," and so on
Ryuji's lockscreen is an old, fat cat, and his homescreen is that same cat with kittens, and a rather excited young child. This has sparked rumors within the team that he has a kid (the kid is a very young Hoshino Minoru, his nephew)
One of Tatsumi's better hobbies is the trumpet, much to everyone's dismay. However, they realize Minoru is a heavy sleeper when Tatsumi attempts to play the Megalovania theme and Minoru just. Sleeps entirely through it
Kanae was going to be a tattoo designer/artist (I think being a tattoo artist requires a medical degree in Japan... but she would not care) and she still doodles designs in her spare time
Kanae also wants to have every inch of her tattooed, as a goal of hers, so she takes suggestions from the team (Kenzo and Tatsumi aren't allowed to suggest anything because they keep advising onigiri)
When Reiji created the team, he first hired Kenzo, Kanae, and Tatsumi. A tank and two fighters. He hires Mari, a ranger, and Akari, a healer after Tatsumi nearly dies doing stupid shit in the gates
Mari was a sheltered rich kid. The team takes it upon themselves to educate him on the wonders of 60 cent ramen packets (and other things as well)
When Akari moves in with her pet bugs, Kanae goes back to trying convince Reiji to allow her to have a pet python. Reiji doesn't budge, and for her birthday, Kenzo, Tatsumi, and Minoru all band together to sneak a python to her room (it goes about as well as you'd imagine, which isn't well at all)
Kenzo is terrified of bugs. At some point, Akari's millipede escapes. This is where their little rivalry begins
Ryuji doesn't really interact with the team a whole lot (at first), doesn't even attend the trainings. He's moved out of the offered room that comes with being a Draw Sword Guild leader. The kids are a little disappointed, because they've heard a lot about the Goto Ryuji, and barely get to see him outside of dungeons or gates
At some point, the Annual Guild Conference is held in Las Vegas. The entire team begs to go, because it's Las Vegas, and Reiji relents. Even Ryuji goes
Ippei and Mari are tied for being the shortest two on the team. Kenzo uses their heads as elbow rests a lot
Everyone tends to distance themselves from Atsushi a lot, since his fighting style is... dangerous. Kenzo is the only one who is really friendly with him, since he's so confident that he's stronger than Atsushi, so he can't ever kill him
Ippei is prone to insomnia, so it becomes a thing to just. Walk into his dorm room to bother him if you're up at 4 am, because he's most likely up as well
Kei isn't an insomniac, but they are a night owl, so they tend to run into Ippei in the communal kitchen a lot, and they become really good friends when they start playing Minecraft together
Akari discovers Ippei's old streamer videos. Even though he deletes them immediately, it's too late. She's clipped several videos of him getting jumpscared, or rage quitting, or doing something stupid, etc. They become reaction images in their groupchat
Tatsumi challenges him to speed-running Minecraft and loses terribly, but now they know Ippei didn't fake his speed-running videos. Tatsumi always challenges him at least once a month
Reiji urges Ryuji to participate in the team, which prompts Ryuji to choose Atsushi, Kei, and Ippei as potential hunters. Reiji recruits them immediately, but Ryuji still doesn't interact with the team much, to Reiji's disappointment
Ippei accidentally microwaves a fork one time in the morning after not getting any sleep. His expression did not change a single bit as the microwave caught on fire. "Oh no," has become an expression throughout the group
Atsushi, like Yoonho, is capable of shifting powers. He turns into a brown bear, but it's a really unstable shift. He's working on controlling it
(I chose bear because I think Kuma = bear in Japanese, so little brown bear boy!!! He's not little hes like 7 feet tall but you know what I mean)

RGG/Yakuza/Judgement at the Grocery Store
UPPER MANAGEMENT = UP WORKING CLASS = WC CHAIRMAN AND HIS ENTOURAGE = CE CLIENTS= C
Yakuza:
Tumblr media
Kiryu (WC): Initially a Stock clerk was eventually Promoted to IT (responsible for price accuracy for the printed price shelf tags, maintaining the computers, point of sale software the cash registers use, and any electronic scales that weigh and print prices).
Akiyama (CE): Investor. Due to his generous “donations” to the company, he is part of the chairman’s entourage (due to his wallet’s  size, his opinion matters). Thanks to him (and Tachibana), they were able to raise the salaries of the employees not part of upper management, so all of them love him and get along well when he is there. Akiyama can admit that he grew quite fond of many employees, especially Hana who will become his personal secretary. As expected, many members of upper management can’t stand him, wondering why he is even allowed to be around (they are jealous)
Haruka (WC): Cashier
Nishiki (WC): Online order clerk. Spends a lot of time chatting with Kiryu but likes his position since he is away from the upper management most of the day (he thinks they are scary and wants none of it)
Yumi (WC): Cashier
Daigo (CE): Chairman. A big picture of him is in the store saying he is the boss but you can rarely see him in the building. But for the few times, he visits the place, the upper management wake up out of their coma and pull up an act as if issues where not part of their daily lifes (they basically threaded MAjima to not blow the whistle about who is not doing their jobs.  Saejima (WC):. He prefers something more simple and since he listens to Majima’s endless rants about his position everytime. he would better be left alone away from customer service but ended up as a Loss prevention associate (helps a grocery store combat and apprehend shoplifters and unlawful employees. They often monitor security cameras for suspicious activity, and some dress as shoppers to monitor activity covertly. Loss prevention associates often contact local law enforcement to alert them of problems.). Lee, who is a security guard works along him.
Ryuji (C): Rude customer
Yuya (WC): shopping cart attendant. While he was proposed higher level position many times, he declined them
Nishida (UP): Previously a stock clerk who graduated from his position to become Majima’s right man. They separate Majima’s workload between them.
Majima (UP): Customer Service Representative. Held to higher regard because of more experience, knowledge, and skills. Since nobody in this company wants to do their job, he has to do a lot people’s tasks. Is the main person dealing with issues with customers (that’s the person we send when they say “I wanna talk to the manager”). Stressed.
Date: (highest working class) Pharmacist.
Rikiya (WC): Floor Clerk
Hana: (upper working class) HR Secretary. She will likely interview new employees. Nishitani (UP): Supervisor. Regardless his personality, he actually does his job. He knows how to make the daily life spicy (Kashiwagi hates but since he knows how to manage rude clients to fuck off so gracefully and he can shut down arguments easily). Since he does his job so well, you can find do all type of random stuff in the store like taking hold of the AUX cord to blast Japanese 80s hits in the radion (play Namidawo Misenaide -Boys Don't Cry- by WINK) or buying items just to annoy Majima. His favorite activity is to announce employees birthdays on the store’s microphone before slapping a cake in their faces (Kiryu couldn’t escape it, Nishiki ran for his life). Nishitani succeeded to slap a cake in daigo’s face to everyone’s excitement (covertly or invertly expressed). He is just appointed himself to Mine’s burning anger, not now but one day. Always to take home what they are supposed get rid of (past date item and damaged food products) Mine (CE): Chairman Assistant/Secretary.
Kashiwagi (UP): Inventory Control Specialist. Give this man a break. He is at the clock at 6AM everyday. Mr. Black Coffee. He spends most of his time making calls to suppliers (and often arguing with them) and check the inventory (IF PEOPLE WERE ENTERING THE DATA CORRECTLY SMH.)
Shinida (WC): Grocery clerk, who graduated from his position to become (kinda off) Majima assistant to help with everyday tasks. To take charge when Majima is too tired or angry. If not, they kinda work as duo for Majima’s work load.
  Tachibana (CE): Financial Advisor. He is basically the one over the upper management of the store. If it was not for him being so good at problem-solving and calm regardless of the situation, Daigo will penalize him for how poorly the upper management are doing their job (that’s not on him lol). Always wanted to give Kiryu a promotion so he could join the upper management team and put things back in order.
Baba (WC): shopping cart attendant. Just wants to put his earphones on be left alone.
Hamura, Kuze & Sagawa (UP): Head supervisior, but nobody is sure what is role is since they can’t answer nobody’s questions about anything. More the corporate type, since they send another head supervisor (lower than them) to do all the work (a.k.a answering clients complaints). they spend all their day laughing, chatting and smoking and discussing everything but work-related things. But if there’s financial losses or their quota are not met, you will sure hear one of them raging anger ready to crack the whip on any subordinates. Shimano (CE): Store Manager. He represents the Chairman when he is not there. So he kinda acts like he owns the place (in a way he does owns the building). He is the one watching over a lot of things in the store and especially keeping an eye over the employees. He picks Majima apart and sends Sagawa to scold him about what he is supposedly doing wrong. He is behind most (if not all) employees discharges. Keeps the business afloat. Mirei (UP): HR Yakuza 7/Like A Dragon
Tumblr media
Ichiban (WC): Started as a custodian but (after Jo’s training) was upgraded to stock clerk for general merchandise and non-perishable food items. They are always calling him to go check prices and exchange articles since he is so fast and his store clerk colleagues are nowhere to be found.
Adachi (upper working class): Butcher Nanba: (upper working class) Works in the pharmacy.
Han Joongi (WC): Food Preparation: Bread.
Zhao (WC): Food Preparation: Pastry/bakery. Decorates the cakes and makes pastries sold in the grocery store. Saeko (WC): Beauty & Health Department Staff. Masato Arakawa/Ryo Aoki & Kume (C): KAREN Jo Sawashiro (UP): Hourly Supervisor & Training. Technically has the same job as Nishitani but he doesn’t even want to associate with this brown hair clown. But recently he has been upgraded to pay management and was more than willing to cut Ichiban’s pay off when he accidently spilled his coffee on him. (Chill, Jo! Is it even legal?!? Apparently, it is…) Taka The Striker (WC): Auto Care Center Main Manager Yumeno (C): Karen Reina (WC): Cashier Hamako (WC): Senior Cashier
Judgement/Lost Judgement/Judge Eyes
Tumblr media
Yagami and Sugiura (C): they came only to buy a bag of chips and move on with their life but they are stuck waiting to checkout and it takes forever. For some reason, everyone that day filled their cart to feed the entire population of china.
Minami, Akutsu, Kaito (WC): Stock Clerk who is always late (or don’t even come) when someone call his department. Spends most his time chatting and smoking. Get to work when the boss or supervisor is near.
Tsukumo (WC): Data Entry Clerk
Higashi (WC): Electronic Department Staff
Mafuyu (WC): Beauty & Health Department Staff
  Saori-San (WC): Cashier that covertly hate her job
Awabe (WC): Overnight Stock Clerk
Kengo (WC): shopping cart attendant
Sawa-Sensei (WC): Cashier
Kazuki Soma (CE): Investor. While nobody really knows where he stands or where his interested for the company comes. Rumors says he is an old supervisor but nobody ready really knows. Gets along well with Shimano and was able to conclude all types of deals with him like in exchange of generous “donations’” they could redirect some of the employees to work in his company. Some believe, him and Shimano use the grocery store for money laundering.

Hi, I really love reading your blog, thanks for sharing your posts. Even if I'm not the one who asked your otps, do you mind if I asked why you love those couples (your otps)? You can pick at least 3 couples, if you want to write the reasons.....
Sorry if I ask too much, feel free to just ignore my ask. Also sorry again if I send this ask twice....
I don't think anyone has ever said they like reading my blog, so somehow this makes me happy. I get little traction on my posts so most of the time I'm thinking I'm just talking to myself on here.
I don't believe you've sent this ask multiple times, but if you have, I guess tumblr ate it because I don't see it in my inbox. But sure, I'll try to answer succinctly because when it comes to ships I can ramble for years (ask my best friend). I am assuming you're referring to the post I did the other week about my top 10 ships of all time, so I'll pick 3 of those to explain.
So first up, Adachi and Kurosawa from Cherry Magic. They are so refreshing. I don't know how to explain it. First of all, I appreciate the gentle kindness of Kurosawa as the pursuer/top which I feel like is something you don't see often in BL. There's always the looming threat of noncon/dubcon which is nowhere to be found in Cherry Magic thankfully. His love for Adachi starts off much like a schoolgirl crush, and quickly morphs into an adoration and admiration of Adachi as a person as they get to know each other better. It's interesting to watch how Adachi's feelings develop for Kurosawa as well. He thinks carefully about what Kurosawa means to him, and in what ways he wants to be with him. He's considerate of Kurosawa's feelings even before the love is mutual. Their love for each other is very pure, sweet, and wholesome, and the slowburn from coworkers to friends to lovers is just perfect. They definitely give me a toothache, and their relationship is something that I would like for myself. I also hope to write a love story as good as theirs someday. I could go on but I'll spare thee. Next is Kotetsu and Barnaby from Tiger & Bunny. Now, I know they are not canon, but they are as close to canon as a couple can get without being canon, if you know what I mean. Their relationship starts off spiky, but their growth as people because of the development of their relationship is one of my favorite things about them. They become better people because of each other, especially Barnaby. They teach each other a lot, learn to work together and care about each other, even during the times when Barnaby is resistant to this change in him. Barnaby's attitude eventually changes from snooty, prickly, and isolated to soft and trusting of Kotetsu. They don't only maintain a good relationship for work reasons, but outside of that obligation too, working on their friendship and truly becoming family (in season 2 you can literally see a photo of Kotetsu, Barnaby, and Kaede together in one of their apartments', I forget whose, but my gut is telling me Barnaby's). The scenes in season 2 when Kotetsu just wanted to go out for a drink with Barnaby but some shit kept coming up so they couldn't. And the episode when Kotetsu wanted to do something nice for Barnaby's birthday. Kotetsu's determination to get along with him just makes my heart ache, I dunno. And whenever the other's life or health is in even the slightest of danger, they launch into panicking worry mode for each other. Also I can't overlook the occasional flirting. It just genuinely feels like watching two people interact that don't realize they're in love with each other.
Last lemme talk about Ryuji and Akira from Persona 5 because I never get to talk about my feelings for them. Now I know there is another more popular BL couple in P5 that shan't be named here, but let me explain why I prefer AkiRyu. I like the premise that Akira and Ryuji's relationship starts on and is built up from; an almost immediate acceptance of each other and the ability to relate and empathize with one another's circumstances. Ryuji had become an outcast after the incident with Kamoshida and the track team, and Akira had become an outcast due to his criminal record, which rumors of had followed him to his new school. At the start of the story, they had nobody but each other. Ryuji took an immediate liking to Akira, and Akira also seemed to be content with Ryuji as his first friend at Shuujin. Despite having very different personalities, they had the same morals, the same sense of justice, similar problems to deal with. Now this can be said about Akira with the rest of the Phantom Thieves, yes, but I feel like Akira and Ryuji's dynamic is unique. Again he's Akira's first friend, and you can't deny this quickly escalates into Ryuji being his best friend out of all the Phantom Thieves. Ryuji often basically tells Akira this is how he feels about him as well, so it can't be denied or brushed off (although you can make Akira respond with the snarky and meaner dialogue options, the sentiment is still there. It's not in the same ways that you can be mean to Mishima or rude to Goro, for example). They have a bond that I don't feel is present with the other Phantom Thieves, after completing everyone's social links. Even the canon romance routes with the girls felt weak in comparison. I feel like AkiRyu is the prime example of the shounen-esque tendency to write two guy best friends so emotionally charged that it loops right back around to being gay by accident (see Ryuji's social link stage 9 or 10, I forget which. If you know, you know. The ramen restaurant conversation, yeah, that one. It was basically a declaration of love to me). Those are the vibes they give off to me.
I said this would be succinct but it wasn't. Thank you for your time 😭

@electricea asked: White Day Ask! "I thought you might have fun with this! It's like one of those little kits you put together and it's even one of a cafe, just like Leblanc! Also, happy birthday, dude!"
Tumblr media
"𝐎𝐇," 𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐀 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 𝐇𝐈𝐌𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅 𝐒𝐀𝐘 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐅𝐀𝐑 𝐓𝐎𝐎 𝐌𝐔𝐂𝐇 careful, pleased astonishment, "you remembered."
Tumblr media
Immediately, he shakes his head, because of course Ryuji would remember. It's him after all, and he's not Akira's best friend for nothing. Surprise gives way to subtle delight, a faint glimmer brightening dark eyes as he takes in the little miniature with a subtle, fond expression on his face. Tracing a finger over the plastic containing all the little bits and pieces of the kit, he huffs a laugh, and then leans in, bumping his forehead against Ryuji's.
"Thanks," he says earnestly. "It'll be nice, having something to remind me of Leblanc when I go home."
Setting it down, he ruffles Ryuji's hair with a now-free hand, pulling out his phone with the other and checking the time.
"Think you're free enough to come on a food tour with me? I miss all my favorite places, so I wanted to get a snack from each one while I'm here." There's a smile on his face that widens subtly as he dangles the offer in front of Ryuji enticingly. He gives the blond a moment to consider, before striking the decisive blow as he tucks the miniature into his bag beside Morgana (who whines just a bit) to keep it safe. "I'll pay for both of us if you do."
It's been too long, after all, since he's been able to hang out with his friends like he used to.

Futaba : Presidents Day? Aw what a rip off?
Ann : Well it is a holiday.
Makoto : And we do kinda think that it's a federal holiday to begin with, Futaba.
Futaba : I celebrating no stinking Presidents Day. It has nothing to do with presidents and I just didnt' feel like it. Unless...Today's the 19th and I'm cool without Presidents Day.
Ryuji : Hey, guys. We got something for an important news today.
Makoto : Yeah, what's the good news is.
Ryuji : The bad news is schools out for President Day and we are not feeling it.
All : ....
Ryuji : But the good news is that February 19th is also the birthday for our birthday girl right over there! This girl has officially went into adulthood!
(the group cheering)
Futaba : He-Hey! Guys! You did finally remembered my birthday! Cheesecake Factory! Here we come! The cakes on us! I got the gift card!
Joker : Since when did you really think that Presidents' Day was her birthday?
Yusuke : You all know that you gave her that gift card for the brithday suit would ya?
Ryuji : Well, it's the least gift you find something for her birthday, especially for the other one, Shadow Futaba.
Shadow Futaba : (reading a newspaper) Hey, at least it's my birthday too you know, I always get cake from the gods of eatery, so you gotta trust me on that.
Futaba : Hey, shadow me! Get dressed! We're going to the Cheesecake Factory, cause it's Birthday girl's very special day.
Shadow Futaba : Okay! I'll go get ready to change into my human clothes. Makoto we'll start the van for me.
Joker : What's her deal about Presidents Day, no one celebrated because we didn't know something why?
Ryuji : Because it's her birthday that's why.
Joker : I see your point tho.
Yusuke : Off to the Cheesecake Factory it is.
Morgana : Everyone's predictable about the Cheesecake Factory 24/7, It's always like that no one buys cake from the bakery. That's not what President' Day feels like.
Ryuji : Well, at least it wasn't birthday suit.
Kawakami : Hey, boys. Interesting ideas into Birthday suits?
Ren : I'm gonna reconsider it as a no.
Ryuji : Agree.
(iris out)
(Iris shot)
Shadow Futaba : I'm telling you the cake that I'm giving you that giftcard is absolutely outrageous for cake. It may not be a Presidents' Day party after all.
Futaba : You darn tootin about that one!
Sumire : Well, at least Presidents' Day is a federal holiday to the public
Haru : Yeah, we get the point.
(iris out)
~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY FUTABA SAKURA ~

just curious, is there any confirmation from interviews etc on what inspired ryuji to write the lyrics for unlost? also what are burobi fans called? (I know zipaope fans are called anchor and ryuji sato fans are ryuji no gu)
Hiya! :D
Thank you for the Ask! ♥
Because there are two questions in the Ask, I would like to divide my response into two parts. In this part, I'll be responding to the question on what The Brow Beat fans are called :D
B6S of The Brow Beat
While fans of The Brow Beat don't have an official name, Ryuji has suggested a fan name before. During a release event for The Brow Beat's 3rd album "Adam", he came up with "B6S" (pronounced as "ビーズ"/"biizu").
The meaning of the name:
"B" stands for The Brow Beat
"6" because the fans are the 6th member of The Brow Beat
I still maintain that I think it's cute, and that he should use it officially xD
Since we're on the topic, as you've also mentioned in your Ask, fans of Ryuji and ZIPANG OPERA also have fan names.
Sato Ryuji no Gu / 佐藤流司の具
Fans of Sato Ryuji are called "具" / "gu", which means "filling" or "ingredient".
The name is a reference to the Japanese rice ball where Ryuji is the rice and the fans are the filling xD Ryuji initially suggested this semi-jokingly, and although it is not technically official, the name stuck because Ryuji has used it consistently since then.
(Random side trivia: January 17th, Ryuji's birthday, is also known as "Omusubi Day" in Japan. "Omusubi" is another name for the Japanese rice ball.)
ANCHOR: ZIPANG OPERA's Family
Fans of ZIPANG OPERA are called "ANCHOR". It can also be written as "アンカー" and is often represented by the anchor symbol, " ⚓︎ ".
The name is reference to the concept of ZIPANG OPERA being a ship:
ZIPANG OPERA: Ship
Sato Ryuji, Fukuzawa Yuu, spi and Shinnosuke: Captains
Fans: ANCHOR
It also carries the meaning that when ZIPANG OPERA sets sail, they will take the fans (the ANCHOR) along with them, and when ZIPANG OPERA stops, everyone stops together.
The group decided on the name during the commemorative live stream for ZIPANG OPERA's first album "ZERO" where Ryuji suggested the name and the other members (as well as the fans) liked it.

"Hi Ryuji" She goes and gets on her tip toes and gives him a kiss on the cheek. Because she can.
Tumblr media
"And if it ain't the lady of the hour! How you been holdin' up? Just got back frommmmm-- !"
Well now. This was an undoubtedly tender way to usher in a greeting. It makes him aware of just how much she's been busting the borders of being comfortable around those she cares for. So in short, the kiss was like a miniature blessing, one that immediately causes the delinquent to get a touch bashful as he shoots a smile at her.
"Huh, didn't know I had more than one birthday per year now." Despite the rosy tint highlighted upon his cheeks, he'd lean in, bumping his forehead lightly to Futuba's as a gesture of affection.
"The sight of me get'cha in that good of a mood?"
