ARB Event Scenario: Decisive Battle of a Billionaire: First Part ~Duelists on the Board~: Chapter 4

It’s a straightforward story so I didn't really proofread. Please let me know if there’s any mistakes.

Best enjoyed alongside the game. [Link to Gameplay video]

Chapter 4 - A desperate request [Jyushi, Hitoya]

Hitoya: Coffee in the morning affects your performance for the day

*Sound of footsteps*

Hitoya: These footsteps belong to…..

Jyushi: Mis~ter Hitoya!

Hitoya: Haa…… My beautiful morning moment’s ruined

Jyushi: Mister Hitoya! I have a request to ask of you!

Hitoya: …...my retainer fees are pretty high though. Are you alright with that?

Jyushi: Ahahaha~ Mister Hitoya, now’s not the time to crack some legal joke you know~

Hitoya: Which part of that was a legal joke…...

Jyushi: Mr. Hitoya! Please go to ‘Toto Dreamland’ with me!

Hitoya: What are you saying all of a sudden...… There’s no way I’d go, you know…..

Jyushi: Eh~ Please don’t say that sort of thing~! There’s a de~ep reason for that!

Hitoya: Reason?

Jyushi: Yes!

Hitoya: …..go ahead and tell

Jyushi: Actually my bandmate’s birthday is coming up soon, and I’ve been thinking what present to give him!

Hitoya: I don’t get it…… So you want to give your bandmate a present but why do I have to go to a theme park with you…..?

Jyushi: Ah! Sorry! I didn’t explain it clearly enough! I thought if it’s you, Hitoya, you’d get it!

Hitoya: There’s no way I’d get it…...

Jyushi: If we win at the currently ongoing event at ‘Toto Dreamland’, we can get a limited edition board game!

Jyushi: That bandmate likes board games so I thought it’d be great!

Hitoya: I see. I understand what you’re saying, but isn’t it enough if you go by yourself?

Jyushi: That’s….. The event doesn’t allow lone participants! You must join in teams of two…...

Hitoya: Haa…… If we’re going, it’ll be on a weekend…...

Jyushi: Eh? Is that alright!?

Hitoya: Yeah…...

Jyushi: Hooray~! This weekend is the last day of the event so I must win it!

Hitoya: Now, if you’re done then hurry up and go home. I’m busy.

Jyushi: Yes!

*scene change to Toto Dreamland*

Jyushi: Being at the theme park entrance is already making me feel excited~

Hitoya: Well…… I get what you want to say. I had happy memories too when I was a kid

Jyushi: Is it different now??

Hitoya: It’s not that I’m not excited, just that I won’t be as excited as a kid. But, you’re still a kid, so enjoy it to your fullest.

Jyushi: Yes! I’ll be sure to have fun to my fullest!

Hitoya: Phew…...

*scene change to entrance of ‘Life is Game’ attraction*

Jyushi: Then, let’s hurry up and go in—

*phone rings*

Hitoya: Sorry. Give me a moment…... Hello…...

Hitoya: Ah…. Ah…. Shouldn’t those documents have already been sent yesterday?

Hitoya: …..What!? It wasn’t sent?! Dammit! If it’s not delivered today then the contract will become void. Okay…… Okay…… Don’t worsen the situation before I arrive.

Hitoya: ……

Jyushi: W-what happened……?

Hitoya: My staff made some mistake at work. If I don’t go back it’ll become bad…..

Jyushi: Eh…...

Hitoya: Sorry, Jyushi…...

Jyushi: I-it’s work so it can’t be helped…...

Hitoya: …...I’ll definitely make up to you for this

*Hitoya leaves*

Jyushi: Uuu…….

Jyushi: (Even if I call Kuukou now he surely won’t come….. Even though I finally came all the way here….. ) *note: Aichi to Tokyo would be around 4 hours so yeah…*

Jyushi: UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

???: Are you alright?

---

The last line is 「君、大丈夫か？」. Gotta wait till 18 June for the 2nd part of the story to find out who's our kind stranger. (I'm guessing Rosho based on the speech pattern)

Also Hitoya recognising who it is from the footsteps alone... having to go to work in the middle of a rare theme park visit... please, you can't convince me they're not dad and son

no repost/rework/typeset without my permission.

purchase & read the chapter here!

Hitoya: The people he knocked down were like the ones who hurt you in the past.

Hearing Hitoya mention the last sentence, Jyushi looks horrified.

Jyushi: Eh...!?

Hitoya: His junior high had severe, terrible bullies. The student who became their target attempted suicide, but Kuukou helped him out and it didn't turn out for the worse.

Hitoya: Afterwards, Kuukou was deemed guilty by the law for his conduct. But at least I thought he was in the right.

Jyushi loses his words after listening to Hitoya's explanation.

Hitoya: That's why I threatened to sue all of them, who were playing victim, as assailants.

Jyushi: Without taking payment, just like my case...?

We see a flashback panel of Hitoya standing in the rain in front of his brother's gravestone.

Hitoya: I'll gladly work for free if that means I can convict good-for-nothing bullies. ...I swore to do that in front of my brother's grave.

Jyushi: Hitoya-san...

Kuukou: Everyone's got their own stories. Jyushi, was it? You've got one yourself, don't you? Unpleasant stuff from the past, a thing or two.

Jyushi remembers the words of his bullies he used to hear.

"He keeps looking at the mirror, how disgusting." "Eww, narcissists gross me out." "He keeps talking nonsense. He really can't read the mood."

Jyushi falls on his knees and cries, and Hitoya pats him in the shoulder.

Hitoya: You didn't do anything wrong. Calm down...

Kuukou grabs Jyushi's clothes stares at him.

Kuukou: Don't cry. As the saying goes, "To say that tears make one stronger is deceit; tears bring down the worth of man"!

Jyushi remember's Hitoya's words: "If you don’t acknowledge your condition first, you won’t be able to move forward!"

Jyushi: I... I want to change the current me!

Jyushi stares back with determination in his eyes.

Kuukou: That's a good pair of eyes! I'll give you three choices of means. Naturally you choose. First: you go home as you are and stay a crybaby for the rest of your life. Sounds like a letdown of a choice, but this is also a mean you can take.

Kuukou: Second: you train here at this temple of ours. I'll temper you with the same kind of ascetic training I went through when I was 14.

Jyushi: What kind of training is it?

Kuukou: You wanna know? You've gotta get rid of all hair in your body for starters.

The panel shows Shakku as a model - Jyushi shrieks.

Jyushi: Please let me off of that! My appearance is my life, so...

Kuukou: I see. Third...

Kuukou pulls out... a hypnosis mic!

Jyushi: That mic is...!?

Kuukou: You take on attacks from the hypnosis mic. This thing directly influences one's spirit. If you receive blows from the mic, you can achieve a strong 'n tough spirit.

Jyushi: It can be used for that purpose, huh...

Kuukou: This thing's dangerous though. Depending on how it's used, it can bring people to ruin. It's not all that weird that you get your soul ruined and your ass flown to the moon just from taking one wrong step.

Hitoya: Kuukou, don't scare him too much. Fear clouds his eyes.

Kuukou: It isn't fair to do stuff one-sidedly without explaining the risks. And folks who get their judgement mislead by fear aren't suited for hypnosis mic battles to begin with.

Kuukou approaches Jyushi.

Kuukou: You've got your soul ready?

Jyushi: I...

To be continued (October 8).

Been thinking a LOT about Sasara and his issues with bonds.

It all starts with his parents. He grew up watching that bond falter, shake and ultimately break. Did he have any friends to fall back on at all? It’s heavily insinuated that no. No he didn’t. Sasara couldn’t even manage to FORCE a smile on his face. Ever. That was until he discovered comedy. Only then did he learn to smile, and even laugh, naturally. He’d learn to fake a smile for his parents however - Fake a smile whenever they’d fight and he’d step in with comedy to get them to get along, even if for just a moment.

Such a thing caused him to develop a particular defense mechanism - When he hears yelling or there’s yelling directed at even him, he’ll step in with comedy in hopes that it’ll lighten the mood. Of course he tends to tell horrible puns and jokes that make people roll their eyes in most cases, but hey! At least it takes the attention away from the tense situation for a moment.

His want to ever bond with anyone, though? it died long ago when he was just a little kid.

Move along to Rosho - At first his want to ‘bond’ with him was simply because “His funny bone is telling him to trust Rosho’s STAGE CHARACTER.” Along with the fact that Sasara felt he saw some of himself in Rosho when Rosho said “If there’s nothing funny to laugh at, I’ll be the one to make people laugh!” The bond there was simply for comedy purposes. To climb up, get the fame he wanted. But as time went on, he grew really, really, really, really attached to Rosho. To the fame. To the attention. He wanted to be on top of the world WITH Rosho. He no longer wanted that just for himself. Yet at the same time Sasara was still kinda? Bad and unhealthy for Rosho, just as much as he was good for him.

Rosho leaving the duo & distancing himself from Sasara - What a big. Heavy. Hit on him. Bonds had already been a fickle thing for Sasara. He had felt legitimately bonded with Rosho (And absolutely in love) But damn the downward spiral he instantly took. He picked up smoking. Probably didn’t care all TOO much that he got first place in a comedy competition thing either - Because he didn’t get it with ROSHO. He’s so hellbent on reaching the top with Rosho it doesn’t matter if he reaches it alone. Then he goes to Tokyo. Latches onto Samatoki due to the mere fact he was SO MUCH like Rosho. He even gave into violence which he hates! But found fun at the time because it was something he could use to bond with Samatoki.

Sasara grew a strong fucking bond with Samatoki. MOSTLY b/c “OH ROSHO 2.0!” albeit there’s an actual bond with Samatoki there too buuuuuuuuuut a good portion of that bond really is just built around “ROSHO 2.0!”

The brainwashing and him leaving Samatoki - Something that hit him hard as well. (This also indirectly blew his bond with Ichiro and Kuukou but also, neither of them are Rosho 2.0.) The whole month after that? He barely recalls a thing. He tries to recall a thing, and man his head begins to hurt.

NOT TO MENTION? He barely opens up. In the manga we see him suggest they all four do ONE thing each of the person likes. The other three picked something to do with an interest of theirs and Sasara’s was pretty much just ‘lol food’ His Solo song even neglects to tell us much about HIM. It has comedy in it and the whole ‘SAD? HAVE COMEDY!’ part of him in there too. AND it revolves around reaching the top and wining the DRB!

ALL IN ALL: Sasara is empty without Rosho. Sasara NEEDS Rosho. And at times, even to this day, it can be pretty unhealthy how much he relies on having Rosho in his life. And it’s unhealthy, too, how he’s once again hellbent on reaching the top with Rosho again except this time in rap battles.

Sasara is a good guy at heart. He really is but he has a LOT of healing to do, needs a LOT of redirecting and needs to learn NOT to rely on comedy to cope. He needs to let himself heal, but he won’t allow it although he fails to realize he’s a big roadblock to not only himself, but Rosho at times too.

Comedy is a good cope. But he thrives too much on making OTHERS laugh and smile all because he doesn’t want OTHERS to forget how to laugh and smile due to knowing how it felt. Even if people FAKE the laugh and smile, he’ll be content b/c if they can FAKE it, then they can learn to let it be real like he did.

He’s the Tragic Comedy that has a tragic story with comedy woven in, and no happy ending in sight yet.

#TragicTransistor ; Headcanons #[ I'm sure i could go on and on and on an on and on and on but -#this post is long enough #HOH MAN don't even get me started on weaving in my own HC's have that make #his bonding issues worse }

hnn.. its gonna have to be buster bros...

i like jiro and rio a lot and dont rlly care for the other 4 but like.. i think i like bb and their dynamic and find them more sympathetic than mtc lmaoo... like ichiro went through a lot for his bros..

samatoki also went through a lot for nemu but hes stinky as hell and i think he's stupid. but i will not write an essay on that.

Oh. Kuukou was...Trying to trap him against the wall, wasn’t he? He was almost a little confused due to the height difference and all. Fighting off a small chuckle, he cupped Kuukou’s cheeks with an affectionate smile.

“What’s this? You know, if you wanted my attention, you could of just asked Kuukou~”

B’z - The #1 Japanese Rock Band

Here I am with the week-end special in “Focusing on”! Today’s subjecy is the Japanese rock act per definition, in terms of style and content. They are known as B’z, duo formed on 1988 and composed by Inaba Koushi (vo.) and Matsumoto Takahiro (gt.). The origin of their name is quite curious, as they planned that the name was A’z (because their music had to go from a to z), but since its Japanese pronounciation resembles the word “Aids”, they decided to use the word “B’z”. Despite the name change, they maintained their own concept, made of a complexive range of styles and sonorities, where the common base was the mixture between the energy (guitar) and the emotion (voice). In fact their genre is a fresh pop-rock, but afterwards they started to enclose other genres, such as hard rock or blues, driven by the skillful guitar and the talented vocals. Their debut occurred on September 1988 with the first single Dakara sono te wo hana shite (Just let go of that hand).

The title-track features a bright and steady rock sound, typical of pop-rock songs during the 80′s; the song is about the need staying alone for not suffering anymore. It has been followed by the first album B’z, the single Kimi no naka de odoritai (I want to dance inside you), the second album Off the Lock, the first mini-album Bad Communication and the single Lady-Go-Round.

The title-track, used as ending theme for the TV show Otenki Diary, adds a sensual and fiery touch to their incisive rock sound, helped by a suggestive guitar playing; the song is about a summer love, which ended too soon. It has been followed by the third album Break Through, the singles Be There and Taiyou no komachi angel (Town angel of the sun), the second mini-album Wicked Beat, the singles Easy come, easy go! and “Itoshii hito yo” Goodnight (Goodnight “my beloved”), the fourth album Risky, the single Lady Navigation, the third mini-album Mars, the single Alone, the fifth album In the Life, the singles Blowin’ and Zero, the sixth album Run, the fourth mini-album Friends and the singles Ai no mama ni wagamama ni, boku wa kimi dake wo kizutsukenai (Even if the love is selfish, you’re the one I won’t hurt), Hadashi no megami (Barefoot goddess) and Don’t Leave Me.

The title-track, used as theme for the drama Shin Kuukou Monogatari, features a more rocking touch and the atmosphere is nostalgic and emotional; the song is about the fact that without the loved one, a man would lose his own way. It has been followed by the seventh album The 7th Blues and the single Motel.

The title-track has an engaging rock melody, emphasized by the presence of a warm classical guitar, along with deep vocals; the song is about making amend for the sins of the past. It has been followed by the singles Negai (Wish), Love me, I love you and Love Phantom, the eighth album Loose, the singles Mienai chikara -Invisible one-/Move and Real Thing Shakes, the fifth mini-album Friends II and the singles Fireball and Calling.

The title-track, used as theme for the drama Glass no Kamen, has an energetic touch, given by the guitar, even being a deep rock ballad, probably their most representative one; the song is about the strong calling of the loved one. It has been followed by the single Liar!Liar!, the ninth album Survive, the single Samayoeru aoi dangan (Wandering sapphire bullet), the compilation B’z The Best “Pleasure”, the single Home, the compilation B’z The Best “Treasure”, the single Girigiri chop (Chop on the edge), the tenth album Brotherhood, the single Konya tsuki no mieru oka ni (On the hill overlooking for the moon tonight), the compilation B’z The “Mixture”, the singles May, Juice and Ring, the eleventh album Eleven, the singles Ultra Soul, Gold and Atsuki kodou no hate (Result of this hot heartbeat), the twelfth album Green, the singles It’s Showtime and Yasei no energy (Wild energy), the thirteenth album Big Machine, the compilation The Ballads -Love & B’z-, the singles Banzai, Arigato (Thanks) and Ai no bakudan (Love bomb), the fourteenth album The Circle, the single Ocean, the compilation B’z The Best “Pleasure II”, the singles Shoudou (Impulse), Yuruginai mono hitotsu (Safe thing) and Splash!, the fifteenth album Monster, the singles Eien no tsubasa (Eternal wings) and Super Love Song, the sixteenth album Action, the single Burn -Furetsu no face- (Burn -Eternal face-), the compilation The Ultra Pleasure, the single Ichibuto zenbu (Some and all)/Dive and My Lonely Town.

The title-track kicks off with a raging and adrenalinic guitar, inside a powerful and suggestive rock melody, with flowing vocals; the song is about a town, likely the one where the protagonist is born and grown, defined lonely because each one cares about his own, but it is still loved by him. It has been followed by the seventeenth album Magic and the singles Sayonara kizu darake no hibi yo (Goodbye painful days) and Don’t Wanna Lie.

The title-track, used as opening theme for the anime Meitantei Conan, features a catchy and incisive rock sound, easy to listen, driven by the majestical duo of guitars and vocals; the song is about trying to not lie to ourselves, to our instincts. It has been followed by the eighteenth album C’mon, the singles Into Free -Dangan- (Into free -Bullet-) and Go for it, baby -Kioku no sanmyaku- (Go for it, baby -Mountains of memories-), the digital mini-album B’z, the compilations B’z The Best XXV 1988-1998 and 1999-2012, the single Uchouten (Ecstasis), the nineteenth album Epic Day and the singles Red, Sekai wa anata no iro ni naru (The color this world will take depends on you) and Fukiarenasai (Blowing violently).

B’z is a name that surely you heard in the Japanese musical landscape and this little name actually brings on a lot of popularity and great impact. In almost thirty years of career, this rock duo collected a lot of achievements and their releases still echo in the hearts of Japan, even inspiring a lot of known artists (for example Aya Kamiki) and bringing their own popularity in each entertainment device (drama, tv shows, anime, movies and even commercials). This happened because their sound is always appealing and energetic, with powerful guitar playing behind fascinating melodies and suggestive vocals. B’z is a band that you must listen to, if you really love and appreciate the Japanese rock scene, but if you already immersed in this band’s world, you can check out their latest work, the single Seimei (Declaration)/Still Alive, released last Wednesday.

Who might enjoy: who wants to listen to a dynamic and energetic Japanese rock duo, with all the ingredients needed.

Recommended songs: Daraka sono te wo hana shite, Bad Communication, Lady-Go-Round, Lady Navigation, Don’t Leave Me, Motel, Calling, My Lonely Town, Don’t Wanna Lie and Into Free -Dangan-

That’s all folks! See you tomorrow for the monthly chart in “Best of... June 2017″!

Thanks for the reading!

different media anon here, thank you so much for your answer! It really pushed me to try watching the stageplays someday in my own time... somehow... haha qq if you dont mind me asking again (sorry if theres like a limit on ask per week or something), yknow how theres rivalries between divisions? Had the DRBs not been a thing, which divisions/groups do you think would actually be pretty friendly with each other, and which ones would still be pretty tense despite the lack of hypnosis mics lmao

What a super interesting idea. I tried to consider each team's dynamic with the other team, and it got a little long, so sticking this under a cut.

First, I want to properly define how this thought experiment will work, as removing tension/the Hypmics altogether makes the plot collapse entirely and raises a few questions about how several groups got together and what certain team members are up to, if not orchestrating tension. If Rei isn’t slinking around in the background looking shady and cooking up some DRB-related shenanigans, is he really still Rei? And so on.

Therefore, I am going to stick to the letter of the question. What if there were no DRBs? The DRBs seemed to have come about because Otome had the bright idea of pitting two rap boys against each other for sport in a bloodless, more marketable version of a gladiator match, so what if she just... didn’t do that? When Ramuda called Ichijiku and went, “Yo, what up, homie G, did you know the boys are planning a revolution?” what if Otome didn’t have anything lined up and kind of had to be like, “Well, shit”? So then she sent out Ramuda to break the crew up but in a totally lame, Ramude-esque way.

You know in FP/M+ chapter 11 when Hifumi tries to guess the reason TDD broke up and guesses that someone ate someone else’s pudding? Yeah. That’s what we’re going with here. Ramuda went around, ate everyone else’s pudding, and blamed it all on someone else. (We can assume Jakurai caught him in the act or something.) The mild anger on the Ichirou-Samatoki end and the sheer “wtf, Ramuda?” factor on the Ramuda-Jakurai end was enough for TDD to take a temporary hiatus, and when all tempers cooled down, they decided to go their separate ways but remain friends.

And while this may not be necessary for the letter of this prompt, let’s throw Sasara and Kuukou a bone and say that their tiffs with Samatoki and Ichirou happened in a similar fashion. Would Samatoki blow up and send Sasara’s ass packing back to Osaka (temporarily) if he thought Sasara touched his shit and Sasara, sensing an opportunity to clown on Samatoki for it, did what he does best? Absolutely! Would Ichirou and Kuukou butt heads in a he-said, she-said argument over who drank Ichirou’s last Coke? You know it. But as in TDD’s split, these arguments wouldn’t last long, and everyone would be pretty admicable before long.

Now our stage is set. Welcome... to the pudding AU.

BB/MTC: Samatoki and Ichirou are still homies to some extent, and this means that Ichirou still looks up to him as an older brother figure. By the sort of transitive property of older brothers, Jirou and Saburou would probably likewise respect him and at the very least would play nice with the rest of MTC. Samatoki likes kids, so he’d have no issue with the younger BBs, and Riou enjoys company as well. The group would probably have a lot of fun camping and having cook-outs at Riou’s place in the woods. However, there is an issue, and it is the one person I haven’t mentioned yet. I do not think Juuto “Mature Adult” Iruma would enjoy spending his free time with a middle schooler, especially if that middle schooler is as liable to sass back as Saburou is. Thus, the cook-outs would likely devolve into a very different sort of roasting over a campfire and would end with both Juuto and Saburou in time out.

BB/FP: After Ichirou cools off in regards to the Coke and pudding incidents (which may take a while), I figure he and Ramuda would fall back into a similar dynamic that they have in canon, wherein Ichirou thinks Ramuda’s a little weird but not enough to really do anything about it. FP and BB have fairly dissimilar interests, so I don’t think they would hang out a ton. Additionally, I think Ichirou would be a bit concerned about Dice and Gentarou’s bad behaviors (gambling and lying) rubbing off on the little BBs. Still, they might all get food or something every once in a while. The TDD manga suggests that Ramuda will, when he’s not pestering Ichirou, be occasionally struck with the desire to feed him, so I could see him popping up ever so often to treat the BBs to a nice dinner in some cozy little family restaurant. FP is like the weird uncle and the weird uncle’s irresponsible friends who give baller presents at Christmas and teaches you all the cool swear words you’re too young to know.

BB/MTR: This is a dynamic that I don’t think would work super well, not because of any sort of animosity, but simply that these two groups have such big differences in maturity and interests. The Buster Bros certainly wouldn’t mind fishing or dinner/drinking parties after work, but they wouldn’t have much to contribute to the adult conversation. Likewise, I’m sure that MTR would listen politely (Hifumi maybe not so much) to conversations about anime and school, but they wouldn’t be personally invested in it. I’m sure they all think well of each other but are probably casual acquaintances at best. They might have more luck mixing in a bigger, blended group, such as in TDD.

BB/DH: Despite how surprisingly easy it is to remove the DRBs from Hypmic and replace them with pudding without losing a significant chunk of the story and its character dynamics, I do not think we can conceivably make whatever the hell is going on between the Buster Bros and Rei be about pudding. Therefore, this group does not get along. Sasara and Ichirou probably keep in touch in a vague, acquaintances way. In canon, Ichirou doesn’t really reach out to him after he splits from Samatoki (even though there’s nothing really preventing him from doing so), so I imagine something similar would happen here.

BB/BAT: Oh they would kick so much ass. You know Kuukou and Ichirou would be making monthly trips to hang out with the bestie and try to beat each other’s ass in a parking lot somewhere. Jirou and Juushi would bond over music, and if anyone tried to bully Juushi again, Jirou, Kuukou, and Ichirou would show up to whoop their asses. (Saburou’s on standby waiting with a phone ready to call their lawyer (Hitoya)). I think Saburou and Hitoya would annoy the absolute hell out of one another, so they would end up very close friends too. Somewhere, there’s a group picture of all 6 smiling and hugging, and Hitoya texts it to Jakurai with the caption, “Look at this! Five kids, you bitch. And no child support, no less. You wish. You wish you were me.”

MTC/FP: It surprises me that Chuuouku had to make a reason for Samatoki to hate Ramuda, because the grasshopper arc shows that FP manages to piss off MTC plenty just by virtue of being themselves. I do sort of think that the only reason TDD works as well as it does is because Jakurai is a buffer absorbing the worst of Ramuda’s obnoxious energy, thus stopping him from trying to speedrun becoming a Ramupancake by annoying the absolute shit out of Samatoki until Samatoki beats the absolute shit out of him. And I mean... I do get it. I love the character Samatoki to death, but if he were a real person, by god there is something about him that would make it physically impossible for me to not fuck with him. His bravado is purely a bastard magnet. (I think that’s part of why he and Juuto get along so well.) Also, Gentarou appears to be allergic to cops and would be unable to resist making Juuto’s life hell (there’s a bastard magnet on Juuto too). So I have a feeling this would devolve into an absolute shitfit for four members of this little gang while Dice and Riou are just chillin’ on the side. So long as Dice and Riou can keep chillin’, everything’s all good. To be honest, I think Dice could get along well with MTC provided he left Gentarou and Ramuda at home - hell, I think Dice could get along with virtually anyone in the cast provided he left Gentarou and Ramuda at home. He’s as chill as could be while Gen+Ramu are chill in the same way that the surface of the sun is chill.

MTC/MTR: Hmm.. a mixed bag. Riou and Jakurai would become best friends overnight, partially because they’re on eye level with one another for a change, partially because they can commiserate about war, and partially because Riou would suggest, “Would you care to come into the woods with me to cook absolute batshit ingredients, fish in mountain streams with your bare hands, and wrestle the local wildlife into submisson?” and Jakurai would be like, “Oh! :) Would I!” A match made in heaven. As for the rest, I’m not sure. I think Hifumi and Riou would actually be able to get along in an odd sort of way - they’d swap recipes, and Riou would share some of his plants in exchange for spices he can’t get in the woods - since Riou’s absolutely patient enough to handle Hifumi’s high energy. Doppo and Riou would also work. Like Dice, I think Riou’s chill enough that you can send him to virtually everyone (barring Saburou, who is fourteen - apologies to the fourteen-year-olds reading this, but someday you will understand what I mean) and expect him to come home with a new best friend. Honestly, I think this whole dynamic would actually shake out pretty nicely. They seem like they could be trusted to have a chill time drinking/eating together someday. MTR are like MTC’s square cousins, and MTC’s like MTR’s slightly sketchy friend you know from high school who’s cool but definitely runs with the wrong crowd. (I would say they’re the weed dealer if not for Juuto’s obvious hatred of the topic.) The only reason why I called this a mixed bag in the first place is because I was a bit concerned about leaving Juuto and/or Samatoki and Hifumi in a room together - see the bastard magnet comment above - but knowing that Juuto is Doppo’s acquaintance would probably mitigate that a bit. (Although, knowing that Juuto is a potential Doppal may inspire Hifumi to do something embarassing like share Doppo’s baby pictures.) So hey, why not? Friends.

MTC/DH: God, what an interesting concept. Assuming that Samatoki and Sasara make up, I think Samatoki’d treat him in a “Haha, you knucklehead :) *beats his ass*” kind of way, which is all well and good. Running from an angry Samatoki gives Sasara good exercise. So Sasara would introduce him to Dotsuhonsters like, “Hey haha this is the yakuza leader who tries to beat me up all the time :)” and Roshou would go, “GOOD for him.” Samatoki and Roshou are, of course, instant best friends. The only awkwardness is when one day Roshou and Samatoki both share some pics of themselves a few years back, and Rei doesn’t say anything, but he does lean over and give poor Sasara (who is sweating bullets) a Look. There is not anything this man does not know. (Roshou and Samatoki, of course, are fucking oblivious, god bless their dumb asses.) Introducing Riou to the crew would go well, although I think Riou would be a bit baffled at their high-speed sense of humor. Introducing Juuto would go less well - and here I would like to pause and apologize to all the Juuto fans, since I feel like I’ve been making him out to be a cantankerous bitch, but he really is canonically closed off and prickly. That’s a big part of his character and what makes Juuto opening up to MTC so special and wonderful. At any rate, none of what I said above about Juuto was meant to be insulting, and I am now going to immediately fly in the face of that and lay into him - because I am 100% certain Rei has lured Juuto into an NFT scam, catfished him online, or both. The meetup quickly devolves into a game of tag as Juuto scrambles to get Rei into handcuffs.

MTC/BAT: Like FP, I think BAT’s obnoxious energy is a bit much for Samatoki. However, I think Juuto and Hitoya could be absolutely amazing friends, as they have pretty similar approaches to how they treat the justice system and how it plays into their respective missions. They also seem to have similar-enough tastes that they’d probably hang out in their free time. Hitoya would cry with relief that Juuto actually knows how to spell “charcuterie” after three days holed up in the mountains with Kuukou. Riou and Kuukou would likely respect one another for their strong conviction to their beliefs. I could see Riou being interested in training with Kuukou. Survival rhythm, survival monk. Survival rhymes and survival funk. Get sprayed in the woods by a survival skunk.

FP/MTR: There are two ways I can see this going, and one ends in the apocalypse, which is why I think King Records saw it vital to pry Jakurai and Ramuda apart before their respective groups mixed. On the one hand, I can see this having the same dynamic as a couple who have wildly different friend groups so you know the other dudes in a very second-hand, say “hey” when you pass on the street way. I don’t mean that in the sense that Jakurai and Ramuda would be a couple in this AU, but considering Jakurai’s willingness to forgive Ramuda for much more egregious shit, I think it’s fair to assume they’d make up after maybe four days tops for something as insignificant as “trying to break up the friend group” and “secretly being a government spy”. At any rate, assuming they each go on to build their own friend groups on their own time while still remaining close friends, I don’t think they would try to make one supergroup of pals because Jakurai and Ramuda’s one-on-one dynamic is very different than their group dynamic. Jakurai tends to... maybe babysit isn’t the right word, but mitigate, perhaps, Ramuda in group scenarios like TDD, and that wouldn’t work well with either MTR or FP. Both groups rely on them treating and being treated as equals while being able to express their true selves. Therefore, Jakurai-Doppo-Hifumi would be good friends, and Jakurai-Ramuda would be good friends, and Ramuda-Gentarou-Dice would be good friends, but there’d be no Jakurai-Doppo-Hifumi-Ramuda-Gentarou-Dice supercluster. On the other hand, if that did exist, the results would be disastrous. Yes, I think Jakurai would love this because he’d Hayami Show the hell out of Dice (Jakurai and Dice’s voice actors are very good friends), but if you allowed Dice and Doppo to meet on good terms, their mutual hatred of the systems they live in would spark a revolution overnight. As for Hifumi and Gentarou... Jesus Christ... it might be a good thing that they dislike one another in canon, because I cannot imagine a more chaotic pair of good friends. Together, they have the collective energy of those posts which show someone swerving through incoming traffic at roughly the speed of sound with the caption “Can’t help being a Gemini! <3 Live, Laugh, Love”.

FP/DH: Putting Gentarou and Sasara together is likewise a recipe for disaster. I think they’d try to one up one another, resulting in horrible casualties. I don’t think Ramuda would voluntarily want to hang out with Rei either - he doesn’t seem to be that fond of Rei in canon - so I don’t think these groups would ever naturally mix.

FP/BAT: Honestly, if left to their own devices, I think FP would try to adopt Juushi. Ramuda and Gentarou would, I think, find him very charming, even if Dice might be put off a bit by the crying. I don’t know how things would work with the rest of the crew, though. Kuukou might hold some resentment for Ramuda causing a fight between him and Ichirou, and Gentarou+Dice would be too protective of Ramuda to let this go easily. It’s probably best that these two groups don’t mix, apart from FP trying to arrange custody for Juushi on weekends.

MTR/DH: In theory, this could work pretty well, especially because Hifumi would kill to host a house party for his friends. They’re all mature enough to be able to connect well, if they ever had a reason to connect (I’m not sure what this would be, though - probably a friend of a friend recommendation via Samatoki). In practice, this would be a terrible disaster, because Sasara would goad Jakurai into drinking and then immediately regret it, if he lived to tell the tale afterwards. Still, talk about an interesting experience, huh? Oh, on that note, Jakurai and Sasara may actually get along by virtue of being into interesting people/things, although for somewhat different reasons.

MTR/BAT: Unfortunately, the Jakurai-Hitoya split is another relationship break we can’t pudding our way out of, boys. Hifumi and Juushi seem like they have the potential to connect due to their similar ways of coping with traumatic situations, but god... Poor Doppo... Imagine trying to sleep while the two of them are going, “HA HA HA HA!!!!” in the other room. Kuukou seems a bit too rough and wild to fit in with most of the group, although he and Jakurai might enjoy meditating together.

DH/BAT: Honestly? I could see it. Kuukou and Sasara have a strong dynamic back in MCD, so I could see them staying casual pals and eventually bringing the rest of their crew around to hang out. Both groups also have similar dynamics of younger, energetic dudes roughhousing while an older man looks on and gives timely advice, so I think they wouldn’t clash too much, even in terms of Kuukou and Juushi’s relative immaturity. Sasara enjoys that kind of commotion, and Roshou, while despairing about the state they leave his apartment in, enjoys encouraging kids and younger people. The one point of contention I’m foreseeing is Hitoya being alarmed by Rei’s flagrant law violating.

Super fun thing to think about! Thanks for sending this in.
