rainy season has landed in both japan and arb and everyone has lines dedicated to a very rainy day!!!:

bb:

ichiro doesn’t hate the rainy season but it’s hard working in the humidity. the rain can also hinder his work. but after the rain comes the sun!!!! he can’t wait for summer’s clear skies!!!! jiro can’t really play outside when it’s raining. it looks like ichiro is busy so his going to go bug saburo about the joys of anime lmao saburo wonders if he likes the smell of rain. he then shares with us that the scent of rain is called ‘petrichor,’ and the reason we smell it is due to aerosols released when rain and moisture in the air loosens the ground, which has been packed tight with absorbed oil from plants. saburo is next very flustered to have been caught with a charm he made to make the rain go away lmao it’s not he believes in the superstition!!! it’s just that ichiro thought it’d be nice to have one for clear skies in the future!!!! it’s only just in case okay??? lol

mtc:

samatoki says to not let the rain get you all worn out and offers a pep talk lol and he also gripes about the rain and humidity is making all of his clothes cling onto him and it’s annoying af lmao juto actually doesn’t do so well with the humidity, he gets a little depressed during rainy season. he also complains that all the water on the ground would ruin his leather shoes. like, it’s great that he usually travels by car but he still has to get out of the car and out into wet weather 😓 rio comments that due to the rain, an enemies’ visuals will be weakened making it hard to track you but the same can be said for you as well; the rain can change the terrain and you can get caught in mud pits. it’s important to always be flexible with changes and to keep your senses open on the battlefield. he also says to not neglect your core while training since when it rains, the ground gets muddy and you don’t want to fall 😌

fp:

ramuda says since he’s stuck at home all day, might as well call dice and gentaro over and have a sweets party⭐️!!!! but he does like rainy days!!!! he likes to be able to work on fashion styles that match the weather ⭐️ gentaro asks if you would like to enjoy reading a book on a rainy day and also says there is nothing like taking a break from writing as you watch the water droplets trickle down on glass windows to the sound of rain fall. sounds like dice is going to be broke and isn’t going to have any shelter from the rain if he doesn’t play well today 😞 dice doesn’t like the rain; it feels as tho his luck has run dry on rainy days. matches are best experienced under clear and sunny skies!!!!

mtr:

jakurai wishes for you to take care of yourself since the body can be susceptible to falling ill due to temperature drops and changes in atmospheric conditions. don’t overwork yourself either. and he also comments that it is a shame that the rainy season brings in so many sick people, but he likes the atmosphere rainy season brings. green is especially bright during this season 😌 host hifumi says he doesn’t hate the rain but it causes a lot of problems, such as making laundry hard to dry. malewife hifumi bemoans how all this rain really can bring a guy down!! like even doppo’s even more down in the dumps than usual…….. or is that really because of the rainy season and not just the usual??? and he laughs lol doppo tho really isn’t feeling so hot with all this rain and humidity and feeling like he’s becoming more negative than usual……… but is that because of the rain season?? he’s usually negative regardless of the rain…….. lol

dh:

sasara wishes that it was raining candy instead….. and then because this sasara: “feeling down because the rain’s coming down?? ignore the raindrops and cheer up with some candy drops!!” and then laughs at his own joke lol rosho laments that the sports clubs still have to practice out in the rain and hopes the rain will stops soon. he also complains it’s pretty difficult to dry his laundry on rainy days and hopes for his students that they won’t be bogged down by the inconveniences rain brings and that they will be able to wake up on time. rei says that on rainy days like this, it’s hard for him to move so he wonders if maybe he should hire a personal chauffeur for times like this………. and then says he’s just joking lol he’s still a very capable old man lmao rei also muses that regardless of rain or shine, people going about their day doesn’t really change

bat:

kuukou is disgruntled about being asked how long the rain is supposed to last and he sharply replies to just let nature run its course; the best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain. he also says super rainy days like this really makes him want to pray to the sun god. normal jyushi cries about how awful the stormy weather is for making a mess and ruining everything!!! vkei king jyushi gives a flowery description of how he doesn’t like the sound of rain………. and ugh!! his hair is a mess now too!!! hitoya may not hate the rain but he’s finding himself wondering how long the rain’s supposed to last. he also shares that jyushi accidentally dropped amanda in a puddle and came crying to him about it lol and grouches that she’ll be fine after a wash lol

I doubt it'll happen but I am really curious, how would a division shuffle even work? I can't see any of the team members from different divisions having THAT much of a problem with each other that they'd split up, like I know Jiro is finding his own path rather than blindly following Ichiro and it's possible DH could break up (idk why I think they'd be the most likely, they just spell out angst and drama), but the rest?

lol if i'm honest, i think the cause of any division shuffling would be because of the final version of ramuda rather than any of the little cracks/potential fissures we see. maybe that ramuda takes advantage of those cracks?? bb with their mama drama, mtc i'm actually not too sure of, but their agendas are already wildly different, fp and all of their deep chuuoku traumas, mtr with honobono and maybe chuuoku scouting jakurai, dh with rei's everything lol, and bat i'm not too sure of either but i'd guess ramuda drama too; kuukou has his cycles so i could see a ramuda causing a rift in his team again

as for teams, that's literally my least favourite part about thinking about any division shuffling LOL like there's plenty of combinations but what's best for character growth???? and do we keep the traditional set up of leader-2gumi-3gumi???? (but like from a money standpoint, teams that play off of existing cross division relationships would be favourable lol but this ain't about that lol)

so i tried to think up divisions based on the traditional formula and hated every single second of it LOL they don't even look appealing bro lmao:

ichiro - rosho - rio: mostly based on rosho absolutely detesting that rei abandoned his children lol i would have preferred rosho with jiro but alas, they are both 2gumi 😔 idk what info ichiro has when it comes to chuuoku but rio and ichiro are both heading in the same direction, and rio i think should be a challenge to rei, what better person to get that going than with ichiro lol. and whatever answers they find can influence rosho eventually understanding rei lol

samatoki - jiro - dice: lol i really wanted samatoki with one of ichiro's siblings, let's get that ball rolling on samatoki/ichiro making up and better that jiro actually remembers nemu. the rest makes no sense, dice unfortuately was left over from me trying to place 3gumis on a team lol but uhhhhhh maybe samatoki could provide a different outlook for dice on family. they'd probably clash on their ideals on family since they come from very different places tho

ramuda - jyushi - rei: the two people i think would suffice as ramuda support squad 2.0 lol jyushi for obvious reasons, and rei similarly so, but also like. rei didn't have to save ramuda in the catch us if you can track but he did so.

jakurai - gentaro - hitoya: jakurai/gentaro parallels are the entire reason for this one lol like if jakurai is working with chuuoku to save yotsutsuji, who says that that's something that can't be applied to gentaro's bro?? let's also work towards hitojaku making up lol

sasara - juto - doppo: samatoki's old partners COMBINE lol!!!!!!! sasara would probably enjoy juto's crookedness the way he did with samatoki and rei lol but i'd imagine he'd hate feeling like a third wheel between juto and doppo, since i def put those two together as moral support for dear doppo lol but's fine, let sasara understand how cringe he is trying to flirt with rosho all the time and then bully juto about it LOL

kuukou - hifumi - saburo: what even is this team lol but i also wanted kuukou to be on team with one of ichiro's brothers and saburo, who is very closely aligned with how ichiro used to be in pre-tdd/tdd era, seemed like the best fit. saburo could likely benefit from having a good adult figure in his life but he doesn't really want one like the way ichiro did at that time, so kuukou could provide support to saburo like he did for ichiro. hifumi is a lot like jyushi so this managed to work out lol hifumi happened to be the last 2gumi leftover LOL but i think hifumi might find use in buddhist teachings of the mind
