I was thinking earlier and I kind of wish Hanawa and Joongi got to meet. Like they both gave up their last identities and took on new ones and while the story IS different they have a similar experience in the sense they had to completely take up a whole new identity and can’t go back to their old one for different reasons.
I just think they would have had a really cool, interesting conversation and I’m a bit sad they killed Hanawa off so soon. He had so much potential truly.
my lovely friends let me infodump about like a dragon, and at the time i also did drawings of each party member from memory at the time. this is that. (ignore the wild variations in size dont worry about it)
Okay so he’s literally me and that’s why I love that rgg made that his characterization because I love weirdos because I feel seen.
Thank you Joongi Han.
table talks and party chat are the best thing to happen to this character. i'm so serious. giant random trivia nerd, can fall asleep with his eyes open like a freak and likes to watch videos of watermelons exploding. this is perfect characterization. joongi nation stay winning
wild the shit that comes to your head in your most dire moments. I was getting a tooth extracted three days ago and I was shaking in fear because it wasn't coming out easily but instead of praying to jesus for strength or whatever, my mind supplied a crystal clear vision of ichiban saying this
Finally beat lost judgment and honestly personally…
Soma was hot so I don’t care that he was evil okay? If rgg wants me to hate these evil men don’t make them hot (I do look past this in some scenarios-but like…)
I could read their Zhaohan HCs all day I love them 😭
i need to relook at joongi's model but do you think he has the thighs to crush a watermelon? do you think zhao has tried joongi getting to oull that off, or would that be a waste of a watermelon (i mean i guess unless he's the only one eating it right off the plating i guess)
Tbh, it's kinda hard to tell if Joongi has dem skull-crushing thighs cause he's always wearing baggy ass pants 😔 Maybe the Y6 Joongi fit shows them off better though. Since he's obsessed with training, I'd lean towards the "Yes, he does", he's just hiding them.
Seeing how much Zhao cares for food, he wouldn't let ANYONE pull that. BUT if they were very drunk, he'd probably make a comment about Joongi's thighs, then Joongi would say he can crush watermelons with them (super sure of himself, although he has NOT ever done that), and then Zhao would go "Aight, fucking bet". Whether Joongi succeeds or not, they never say a word of it to anyone else in the Ichigang, for whatever dignity Joongi still has if nothing else 😭😭
(Let's be honest, Joongi probably succeeds. If there is something he never does, is give up)
Shoutout to these men and these men only (okay and majima. And Zhao and I guess I’ll include kuroiwa because I’m not okay)
Rgg designs beautiful men and makes them silly. And then they design men who are silly and bully-able (tomizawa).
I hope in yakuza 9 they make zhaohan canon and they make out, oh and Kazumaji should finally get their wedding.
Also also I’ve been watching persona 3 reload (can’t afford it) and like Akihiko is my favorite. Then I realized. Has the knuckles for fighting…talks about protein…mentions having a strict training regiment…weird guy who you think is going to be normal and level headed. It hit me. JOONGI and Akihiko are my favorites for a reason. Huh? I like them both because they are the same, not really but I mean like they are the same brand of character that makes me happy.
