things people constantly refuse to do in yakuza games that make me insane:
put pressure on gunshot/stab wounds
call an ambulance
flee the scene of a crime they aren't responsible for before the cops arrive

"Upcoming"
So here's a bunch of "upcoming stuff" that I am "planning to make" in regards to banter, short, excerpt, and short story on this Tumblr. I put those in quotes because there is a high probability that some, if not most, of these plans would get sacked and/or forgotten about as the days go by.
1: Sapphire's team overhaul. The overhaul theme itself has been set for a while. Now I just have to go through with it and make a showcase short story afterwards. I remember not doing Sapphire's team overhaul when I did the others because at the time, she had the best team among the girls. But now that I've overhauled effectively everyone else's, she now has the worst. Blaziken, Gallade, Aggron, Tropius, Donphan, Wailord, Relicanth (sometimes)... Obviously I won't touch Blaziken, Gallade, or Aggron, but Tropius sucks ass, Donphan is super random and also sucks ass, Wailord is too damn big to be used anywhere other than ocean travel, and Relicanth... also sucks. So... overhaul is in order. Overhaul theme: All-Terrain Proficiency. Which then leads to...
2: Short Story - Field Work Sapphire shows Platinum how to do field research. And Platinum is not prepared. "Hey, wait a minute. You think you're going to do field work while in your fancy clothes, with all that makeup and perfume and jewelry? No, no, no. Here's how we're doing this. ... Strip."
3: Assassination Excerpt - The Bodyguard Blue and Silver (and Gold) confront Platinum's ex-convict bodyguard... who may or may not have a certain Legendary Dragon's influence. ... Hehehe...
Tumblr media
4: Assassination Excerpt - For Her Sake Moon will do whatever it takes to ensure that Platinum will be protected. No matter the cost.
5: New recurring theme: Gold's random friends Not exactly something major, but will be recurring nonetheless. The granddaughter of the old daycare couple, Prof. Elm's new research assistant, random bartenders, random shopkeepers, etc. Which then leads to...
6: Banter - Blind Date ... I can't really describe much more, given the nature of a banter post.
7: Legacy Excerpt - The Decision The branching point that determines if Legacy ends up in the good ending or the bad ending. What happens if I write that now, when I'm genuinely happy all around? Will I follow my mood and go with the good ending, or will I go with the bad ending to make things interesting? Hehehe...
8: NG+ Excerpt - Fading Away Red tried real hard to befriend Blue and make her happy much earlier than in the previous timeline. But his attempts only succeeded in scaring her and making her super wary of him instead. And now, with the chances of reconciliation slipping away and loneliness bearing down on him hard, Red decides to tell Blue everything he knows. Influenced by "I'm Fading Away" from Yakuza 7 Gaiden. "Even I don't belong to you, those days are far behind. But I pray you're happy now, serenity in your mind, I'm leaving right now..."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll leave it at here for now. ... And we'll see just how many of these I actually do this month. Hehe...
While the current modding stuff has taken a lot of my attention, most of that has gone in my futile attempts at extracting sound files, which I have given up on. I don't know why it's so hard to extract data from a file that's right here, but... technology. I don't care about recompiling or the structure of the audio data table. I just need the f*cking sound files! I see them! They're right there! I just can't do anything with them! The "Extract package" button literally does nothing, so until that's fixed... Anyways. I'm not spending much time on that anymore, and with ASL Season 17 finished and GSL 2024 Season 2 only happening one day per week, I actually have spare time to spend on Tumblr story stuff if I feel like it.

4, 13, 18, 28, 30 for the yakuza ask
RGG Asks.
Heya Cinder!
4. Answered Here
13. Answered Here
18. Favourite Mini Game
Wood Chopping in Ishin is owning my soul right now. It is hypnotizing.
28. Any moments that impacted you emotionally!
We need to go by game for this one so uh heads up.
I'm also only going to pick one per game otherwise we're honestly going to be here all day.
Yakuza 0
Tachibana and Makoto. I don't have to say it, anyone who finished the game knows. They were SO CLOSE THEY WERE SO CLOSE. She was just MINUTES away and god GOD. I cry even typing this. It's just so. (Screaming and wailing)
Kiwami
Nishiki's everything tbh. Also the ending. God Haruka didn't deserve that.
Kiwami 2
Ryuji and Kaoru. MAN. Just. MAN. What happens after that? Who knows, I have the image of them meeting embedded in my brain.
Yakuza 3
The kids in the wreckage of the orphanage. Good christ that one hurts. I don't care how much I enjoy my characters as my faves I can also acknowledge when those characters are hot garbage (sometimes I like them being hot garbage too!) and god jesus hell.
(Also fine I'm cheating and picking two more; "RIKIYA!" and Daigo's FACE after Mine jumps. CHRIST oN A BIKE.)
Yakuza 4
Saejima's colessium speech.
Yakuza 5
The ending with Shinada on the phone with Takasugi, crying because he has a place to call home despite everything that happened. If one man gets a happy ending in this series, I'm grateful it's Shinada.
Yakuza 6
Breaking my own rules again but.
Haruka sobbing all by herself in the dead of night at articles calling her all kinds of horrible things. She's a KID she's still A KID and she's all alone and scared and sobbing into her knees "Uncle Kaz? What do I do?" But he can't answer her because hes' in jail. Again.
Haruto walking to Haruka while everyone cheers. GOD there's a TABLE in my EYEBALLS.
Yakuza 7
I can't pick the whole game so I'm once again cheating with several.
Ichiban finding Arakawa. Ichiban screaming until he's red in the face with tears coating most of his visible eyes, rightfully calling Aoki out for being such a pig headed dumbass when almost every single person around him sacrificed SO MUCH for his ungrateful ass because it didn't matter what the circumstances were!! It didn't fucking matter how he was born, they LOVED HIM That's ALL anyone CARED about. They loved him and gave him EVERYTHING.
And then, just JUST as Aoki puts the gun down, the biggest little insect in the entire game comes out of absolutely nowhere hyperspace and stabs him. Mirroring Arakawa running off with infant Ichiban, 42 years later, Ichiban does the same with a grown, dying Aoki.
THEN THE CREDITS ROLL INTO A HAPPY ASS SONG LIKE I CARE ABOUT THAT AT ALL THROUGH MY FLOOD OF TEARS.
Yeonsu Kim's whole story.
ANYWAY-I need a minute okay I'm fine I'm fine, okay.
30. Ten years in the joint made you what?
TEN YEARS IN THE JOINT MADE YOU A FUCKING PUSSY!!!
Thanks for asking!

What kinda gamer is ThatLuckyBear?
This is a long post. So I'm into video games maybe a bit too much. Here's what I like:
Tetris + Dr. Mario (puzzle games): Core to my gaming spirit. I like to do speedruns of 0-21 on Dr. Mario 64 and I've been known to play 0-20 on Dr. Mario for the NES as well. I loved Tetris since NES but fell back in love with Tetris DS and now I mostly just do sprints on tetr.io. I'm also a 8 chain Puyo-Puyo scrub and I like the game but lack the energy to get better at it. Since this is kind of in the vein of puzzle solving the Ace Attorney games as well as oldschool Point and Click adventure games are wonderful for me as well.
Soulslike: These are all fun. I haven't played most of them though. Dark Souls 1 and Bloodborne are my favs and I've put a lot of time into Elden Ring but Miquella shut down my run and I haven't had time to grind it out. I'll finish it eventually though.
Metroidvania: Huge fan of the genre. Hollowknight is my favorite at time of writing but Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow is an ultra banger and I would have a hard time not mentioning it. I've played all the DS Castlevanias and I love them all.
Schlooters: Looting and shooting is fun. I play coop with my wife and we really enjoy Borderlands. We also had a good time with Outriders. Destiny 2 has been kinda tough to get into but we're trying to get a feel for it before investing any money.
MMORPGS: I've been doing these since 2003 if you can believe it. I was playing Ragnarok Online pre-beta by sneaking onto jRO. I really hit the road running with the iRO beta. Since then I've put a lot of love into Tera Online (Elin berserker just tickles my "hehe" bone, I had a popo too but Elin was the best imo) - I enjoyed FFXIV (Lala paladin) but it's too expensive for me to keep up with the monthly. I really wanna finish FFXIV's story someday. Phantasy Star Online, and Dungeon Fighter Online get a honorable mention but I really haven't had a chance to be in love with them since my MMO muscles are weak and my gaming time short in my age.
RPGS: Classic and modern I'm a big fan of RPGS. I've fallen in love with Dragon Quest recently although it was one of the first RPGS I played (Dragon Warrior NES.) I remember looking through Nintendo Power Magazine and looking at the illustrations and descriptions of the weapons and just getting SO JAZZED. Anyway Super Mario RPG is the best RPG of all time followed by Pokemon Blue/Red would be my call. I love modern Pokemon games but I haven't spent much time with others.
Action RPG: Monster Hunter, Yakuza (love but never played much,) Cyberpunk 2077, Resident Evil (2/4/7) and so many more. I'm a hunting horn main and I am head over heels for Monster Hunter and will always love it.
Competitive: I like to compete but I don't do it much because I have /emotional issues/ and I can't keep my lid on proper. That said I really have a great time playing Smash Ultimate (not a Melee guy sorry it's too hard for me) Street Fighter, Tekken, Granblue VS, and Smash are kind of the only ones I like playing these days. While I used to do a lot of FPS competitives I'm boycotting Actiblizzard so no COD or Overwatch til they remove Bobby Kotick. Valorant is too hard and time consuming but I love it (I'm bad at it sadly.) I might play Fortnite someday but idk if I'll get into it.
the COMF: I love some comfy games. Some of the above fit that category for me (Pokemon Red/Blue to be specific) but Stardew, Animal Crossing, anything Wholesome games, Minecraft, Stray etc. Anything that can make me sleepy usually fits me well.
Platformers: I get into some 3d mario games. I especially enjoyed Odyssey. I kind of get most of my platforming jazz out of the metroidvania stuff but I couldn't get through this without mentioning how much the 3d (and 2d for that matter) mario games matter to me.
There's obviously millions more games that I forgot and couldn't touch on. Day of Defeat was a formative competitive shooter experience as well as all the other HL1 mods I played. I could go on forever but I hope this helps you understand what kind of gamer I am. While I'm pretty eclectic in taste I'm also pretty formulated. These days I spend most of my time trying to find coop experiences to have with my wife so lmk if you've got some cool ones I should look into. 🧡

and now, YOUR top 10 fav characters? 👀
I'm going to try to avoid using more than one from a single piece of media or else it would be like yakuza and dragon age and thats it.
1. Majima
I feel like I don't have to explain this one anymore. Very deep and well-written character that is easy to misinterpret if you don't think critically.
2. Zevran
My url namesake... Another character that people misinterpret because of how they act on the surface level. People who don't take the time to talk to him or think about him at all think he cares about nothing but seggs, as the tikkytoks say, and is cold-hearted. But oh my gawd could that not be further from the truth. This boy... the most... loyal companion you will ever get and the most loyal lover... also he's fucking hilarious
3. Sebastian SDV
Ok hear me out. I love this bunch of pixels to no end. And you may be thinking, Carly. He's the town emo and he is kind of rude. No you do not understand. This boy is so good. First of all, I relate to him so much, if you held a gun to my head and said pick a kin it would be him. The biggest reason is that he has anxiety/depression, but it presents itself in anger instead of the stereotypical panic/hyperventilating/etc which is how mine is too. His social anxiety/introverted nature is handled SO WELL especially if you romance him; literally tells your character that he doesn't feel anxious around them which is a gigantic compliment when people like him tell you you arent draining to be around... tells you about things that remind him of you!! When you are living together he literally says multiple times that he needs to go do whatever by himself-- which in one bit of dialogue he says "I need to stay independent, even though we're married. That's just how I am. I still love you, though." and also “I may be a reclusive guy, but I'm always happy when you're around.” and “Hey. I couldn't sleep last night so I took a walk to the caves. I found this ...want it? I just have trouble sleeping sometimes, it has nothing to do with you. I love you.” ????? THIS MAN IS SO PRECIOUS also he loves frogs and loves his mom's cooking and says she deserves to be happy listen there is a reason i have written so much him and my farmer fanfic
4. Sera DAI
I've mentioned multiple times that the writers handled her horrendously in the eyes of the main character and some of the companions but god damn the rest of her is *chefs kiss* I, myself, want to marry her, but I do not like her romance. HOWEVER, her friendship is SO GOOD!! I'm going to try not to go into my Sera defense essay, but it's important to note that she is flawed and also very neurodivergent. A big argument against her is that she hates elves, which, kind of, but its not her fault, and she grows as a person to the point in Trespasser when she goes out of her way to make sure a Dalish inquis is mentally/emotionally okay with [SPOILERS]. At the beginning, she's very stubborn and set in her ways but she grows if you let her!! I also love her Red Jenny stuff though she fights for "the little people" and I LOVE THAT!! Even without a romance, she loves her best friend inquisitor so so much!!! Her journal entries are so cute and funny and charming, she also has bits about how much she loves being the inquisitor's friend and the heartbreaking bits in trespasser!! Also she's fucking hilarious. Her VA did such a good job too, her laugh is so authentic. Anyway, if you want the sera defense essay, send me an ask.
5. Enid (OK K.O.)
If you haven't seen this show I highly recommend it and it was such a shame that it got cancelled. It has moments of being serious but its mostly very fun and genuinely hilarious and you can just tell so much love was put into it... anyway Enid is the main girl of the show. One of the things I love most about her is they do not bother trying to make her pretty all the time-- the art style in this show is so goofy and in a lot of cartoons that make wacky expressions they only do it on the boys but not here... she makes the same ridiculous expressions and poses but she is still perceived as very cool and pretty. Also her entire character is just so fun; she's born a witch but she wants to be a ninja and she works in retail, tries to act cool all the time and learns to own the parts of herself she is embarrassed about... i just love her so much and also this show
6. Princess Peach
The champion of being the one the sister/girl cousin has to pick in Mario Party/Kart/etc. but we love to see it. I love her because, as we can see, she is super feminine but (at least in the side games) still does everything the boy characters are doing and is capable of kicking their ass. It would have been very easy for nintendo to not include her because shes too dainty or whatever but she ISN'T and she can HANDLE HERSELF she beats the shit out of people in smash and races karts/motorcycles and is playable in games like 3D world and rabbits and anyway I'm waiting for a sequel to Super Princess Peach in which she has the same moveset as in smash
7. Tali'Zorah
So I'm still mad I couldn't smooch her because kissing an alien is okay but being a homo is too much. But anyway I love her she is so cute and smart and purple, emotionally vulnerable and kicks ass we love to see it
8. Seto Kaiba
Yes this is a serious answer is it heavily influenced by 6-year-old me who was in love with him and made a self-insert oc to marry him? yes but I also made a 50 slide powerpoint for a ppt night my friends and i did with the theme "defend your problematic fave" and that powerpoint presentation was entitled "Seto Kaiba is Deeper Than You Think." He's so emotionally constipated and stupid I love him so much
9. Rapunzel
Yes this is the disney character but i love her ok it is another example of a feminine and kind character still being an extremely strong individual also i relate to her guilt complex
10. Pearl SU
Ok so I do not care about this show as much as I used to but I still really really love Pearl. There was just so much about her that you didn't see in media unless it was villainized... What I like most about her is the stuff that a lot of people had a problem with. She was very flawed, the way she handled her grief was not pretty, her jealousy was enormous but she still swallowed it to take care of the people she loved, her thought process was so interesting and different, just. So well written. I also relate to her a ton. And finally, big nose we love to see it.
Honorable mentions that are mostly down here because i did not want to repeat the same source of media: Kiryu, Makoto Makimura, Penny (sdv), Entrapta (she ra), Daigo, Ichiban, Leliana (dragon age), Fenris (dragon age), Axel (kh), Wei Wuxian (the untamed), Marina and Pearl (splatoon).

Tumblr media
30-day knb challenge: Day 1- Favorite Male character
↳ Haizaki Shougo
Tumblr media
I am not justifying Haizaki's behaviour. I think he needs a tall glass of respect woman juice and therapy. This is just meant to explain why he is my favourite character and help you better understand him as a character. Do not send hate or take my words out of context. You will be reported, deleted and cancelled. Thank you and enjoy. :)
My favourite character is Haizaki Shougo *dodges tomatoes* a lot of people in the fandom hate this guy for many reasons. It's kind of funny how many people hate him and the amount of hate he gets just for existing. Like bruh; he's sixteen, leave him alone. 😂
His whole existence is just sad. He was literally created to be hated.
Like straight up, Tadatoshi Fujimaki even admitted that he hated Haizaki. Haizaki's sole purpose of existing is to make the Generation of Miracles look better even though they’re just as problematic as he. No one is fucking perfect and is about time people woke the fuck up and realized it. Your faves are problematic move the fuck on.
Yes, the Miracles are redeemable but so is Haizaki. Yet, unlike the Miracles, he does not get redeemable. No, he disappears and is never seen again. Like bitch, what the fuck!? if you’re gonna introduce a character to only have them disappear for a long time and either have them show up again or just never mention them again. Wasting the potential they had to be a very good character or not having them redeem themselves while the other characters who were just as fucking problematic get a fucking redemption arc because they’re fucking main characters!? What’s the point of that character even existing in the first place? What kind of bullshit is that? Just to have them exist to make the main characters look good? How the fuck does that make sense? Like where is my Haizaki redemption arc? Do I have to write it on my own? I will write it. I am writing one.
Haizaki is the only character I could relate to. Being second best, struggling to find somewhere to fit in and overshadowed and replaced by someone everyone thinks is better than you. It's fucking depressing, okay? You spend your whole life thinking you’re not good enough, and it hurts. I don't feel like going too deep into it because I don't owe you a detailed explanation of my trauma, okay?. So I'll save that for my fics where I self-project half of it onto Haizaki. It’s a coping mechanism, okay? Therapy is fucking expensive.
The anime ruined his whole character, got rid of his whole arc and shorted it down, and made him worse than he really is.
A post explaining how the anime did him dirty and goes more in-depth about his character
I am not trying to justify his actions, i.e. him manhandling Alex and beating Himura up. He does terrible shit. We all do lousy shit sometimes, but that doesn't make us bad people. Making mistakes is a part of being human, and we're supposed to hold people accountable for their actions and help them realize what they’re doing is wrong, allowing them to grow and change. Not condemn them and ostracize them, which leads to isolation and a lot of psychological trauma and self-hatred, and as someone who has dealt with—is still dealing with all three. It is not fun. It makes living painful. Highly unrecommended.
Haizaki does not have a positive role model in his life nor anybody he can turn to, everyone has already given up on him. Even Nijimura and Kuroko didn’t even try to help him, being more focused on the Miracles. (Yes, I know kuroko tried to stop him from throwing his basketball shoes away, but that doesn’t fucking count because after that Kuroko just gave up on Haiazki too). Haizaki has probably grown grew up knowing only violence and not a single ounce of kindness, turning him into the bitter and angry little boy he is.
Haizaki had so much potential. But instead of making him a great villain that potential was WASTED on fucking Kise.
Also, the Kaijo vs Seirin match in the winter cup was completely useless because Kise already got redeemed and he literally got no character development from it.
And Seirin was gonna fucking win anyways because duh thier the main characters. 🙄
Now some headcanons I think about a lot:
1. He gets abused. Some psychological behavioural consequences of child abuse are unhealthy sexual practices and juvenile delinquency, and Haizaki exhibits all three which are some external behaviours of most (NOT ALL) male abuse victims. Haizaki's a womanizer, aggressive, hostile and violent. Yet, he backs down when someone stronger than him comes around and puts him in his place i.e. Aomine and Nijimura.
a factsheet explaining the long term consequences of child abuse and neglect
How to help a friend dealing with family abuse or neglect
How to Handle Abuse
2. He's a victim. And when you're a victim, you either become angry and cynical with everything and everyone around you, swearing never to be a victim again and struggle with gaining back control of your life. Not wanting anyone to see you being vulnerable because being vulnerable makes you weak. Being weak makes you shatter. You always shatter like glass, cutting yourself every time you pick up broken pieces, watching as blood trickles through your fingers.
Your body is constantly on high alert. The default is flight or fight—survival to the fittest.
Or you bite your lip and keep your head down, bottling everything inside and looking for escapes or seeking validation. You want to be wanted and loved because you struggle with loving and accepting yourself. There's always a voice in the back of your head telling you, you're not good enough or that it's your fault. That everything is your fault. Self-hatred and self-doubt are your tormentors.
Or it's a combination between both—a constant struggle.
And I believe Haizaki portrays both from the way he acts and presents himself. Especially since his motto is literally "Survival of the fittest,” and he had once told Kuroko, " there are bad guys and then the really scary people," or something along those lines, which I believe he is talking from experience. You learn from your experiences. They either make you or break you.
3. He's touch-starved.
What Does It Mean to Be Touch Starved?
4. He's bisexual and has a lot of internalized homophobia. I can just feel his internalized homophobia rolling off of him. Bruh, I just know cuz I am bisexual, and I have struggled with internalized homophobia and still sadly struggle with it cuz I grew up surrounded by homophobic people.
I still live with them. 😭
Also, we live in a society that thinks straight is the default.
What internalized homophobia is.
5. His sexual awakening was probably Aomine or Kise. Could be both 😂?
6. He cries himself to sleep every night.
7. He's observant and a great judge of character. It's a fact. This guy literally predicted the downfall of the Miracles. Straight up warned Kuroko too. Too bad Kuroko didn't listen to him.
8. He's hilarious. When he first appeared in the manga, he literally called Himura a loser, lol. XD
9. He's a closeted softie and a total tsundere.
10. doesn't know how to react to kindness and will think you're threatening him or will feel really awkward and uncomfortable but will cover it up with his scowl, or he'll have a breakdown.
11. needs a lot of reassurance and head pats
12. swears a lot. Has no filter.
13. His bother is in the yakuza or some high position of power, and he feels inferior to him. It also explains why Haizaki gets away with things because he would have been kicked out of school if his bother wasn't either-or. I'm talking about his bother being in the yakuza, lol. XD
14. He and Momoi dated for a while but broke up on a mutual understanding that thier relationship just didn't work out. They're best friends and hang out sometimes.
15. Haizaki's good with kids and just genuinely likes them. He would be a great father and try his best to raise his kids right.
16. He gets sick really easily
17. He's clingy
18. He has no friends, mainly because he doesn't want people to get close to him because he's afraid of getting hurt again. Also, everyone in knb hates him.
19. He watches cartoons cuz he was never allowed to watch them when he was a kid. His childhood is trash, okay?
20. He hides in the closet because that's where he feels safe the most—rhetorically and literally.
21. Sleep-deprived and only runs on caffeine and spite.
List of fics that portray Haizaki better than the anime:

So let's talk about Overhaul. (Obv S4 SPOILERS FOR MHA)
So I know we're all thinking, he's a villain. He abused a child, and this makes him a terrible person. Right?
Wrong. If you think so, I mean... it doesn't make you wrong actually. But I think it's more of a "wrong idea" kinda thing.
To be fair, this is all just a rant on my perspective because, I am a huge Overhaul fan. No, not because of his looks. Not because of his physical appearance at all, and I can't really tell you for sure if it has anything to do with his personality. But here's what I can tell you for sure- the reason he did what he did (while the way he went about it was wrong, absolutely wrong) drew me in and I found myself kinda sympathetic. Mind you I first met him in the manga and did not remember him until rewatching the anime. And then first time I watched season 4, I hated his guts. Really, I did. And even rewatching it with my sister (who is @sleepysampai in case you're wondering) I hated him, though I once again understood his reasoning to some degree. My sister can tell you, when I first saw him on screen again I was prolly snarling like some rabid dog because I was so upset at his existence. But then I watched that scene where his arms get taken away. And holy heck. That expression. Y'know, this one:
Tumblr media
Dag. It... the entirety of this... idk how to describe it. I thought it would bring me satisfaction but ohhh no. I cannot tell you how much... PAIN I felt. Well, not very surprising coming from an empath, or at least somewhat of an empath, but. Yeah. That's when I found myself falling for Overhaul. No, not because he was in pain and I liked that look on his face, I'm not a sadist... I think.
But it was because, ultimately... that expression looked like a cry for help. And my heart really said, "yo idc if ur a villain pls lemme be ur hero- is that cool w/u Renny? it's not???? well too bad bye"
Aaand yeah. So now here I am, ranting about him. And how I think, idk if this is a popular or unpopular opinion but... I 100% firmly believe that Kai deserves redemption. In fact, I am so in love with this thought of Kai redeeming himself that I have made a few comics based off a redemption AU Kai. Although they're with my OC so yeah, y'all may not be interested... haha. Well. Anyways.
My point is, yes. Kai Chisaki did do bad things. Does that make him a terrible person? Well... No, actually. Just think about it this way: He sinned. Without a doubt. Just like every other human being, he sinned. Maybe he sinned worse than many other humans, but... we all sin and make mistakes. Maybe we don't all think we deserve to be forgiven for our sins, but... really, we all deserve a second chance. See, there's two people in this world I cannot bring myself to forgive; namely, someone who hurt me really bad, and myself. And they're both connected to the same event. The underlying reasons. The reasons why we do bad things.
See, just think. People commit crimes such as stealing. Some people certainly don't steal for good reasons, yeah? But then you have those people stealing to provide for their families, their friends, their pets or whatever. It all comes down to perspective and underlying reasons. Now, Kai's reason for ultimately using Eri was because he wanted the yakuza to rule society like it used to. It was his way of paying back the old man for saving his life and helping him. The problem was nothing more than that he had it all twisted and wrong in his head. I think, to some degree, we're all at least a little twisted. Except Mogami Jun. He's an angel.
Um, anyways... the way he went about repaying the old man was absolutely wrong. He definitely should not have 1) put said old man in a coma, 2) proceed to use the old man's granddaughter to make quirk-erasing bullets and abuse her and 3) kill Sir Nighteye and hurt sun Mirio.
Because, Overhaul:
Tumblr media
No killing people's vibes. Or people. K? K. Moving on, yeah. I think you get what I'm saying.
So to wrap up my rant thing... Overhaul did bad things, yes, but that doesn't make him a terrible person. You can and have done terrible things, perhaps not to the same extent, but that doesn't make you a terrible person who is beyond redemption.
So I just thought I'd say that... It's probably not valid or anything bc I'm super tired and it's 3:33am. But I've felt the need to rant about it since yesterday sometime so yeah. Anyways... sorry. G'bye and I'm sorry for making you deal with my long post about Overhaul n stuff ✌ just as a bonus for the pain take some blushie Overhaul doodles I did like a week ago or smth
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh and as a bonus take this one panel from my comic bc yeah.... he soft towards my OC bc they used to be best friends. anyways BYE AND IM SORRY

~Perfect Birthday~
Au: Kaishi
Part: twelve
Theme: Fluff? Comedy? Who knows lol
Tumblr media
(These 2 are going on an adventure)
"Buttercream? No that wont do. Vanilla with a touch of banana or Strawberry? Shoot! What about...hmmm...." You focused on the ingredients so hard that you were developing a light headache. Meanwhile, your husband sat across from you at the kitchen table, scrolling through his laptop for themes and present ideas. "Y/N, just settle on chocolate and call it a day." Kai announced while his eyes hovered on a Circus theme. He shuddered lightly at the thought of animals being involved. 'Absolutely not' he thought to himself. You sighed and put the ingredients list down. "I cant settle on Chocolate. I'm worried that someone might have an allergy to it. I'm also so worried about the vegan adults that might be here. What about the picky eaters too? Kai, I feel like I'm going insane right now." You gripped the sides of the chair you sat on. He peeked up at you and notices your incoming distress. He sighed and stood up to move behind you. He softly gripped each of your shoulders and began to give you an impromptu massage. "Stop worrying so much about it so much, Angel. Just do chocolate cake since its the brat's favorite flavor. We can go with a vegan cupcake option that should be safe for the people with chocolate allergies as well. As for the others, there will be other food and even beverage options. You're working so hard for people I dont even care about. This is all for my son and no one else but him. His happiness is my only concern."
You sighed and reached up to place a hand on your husband before turning to smile sweetly at him. "Kai, you're being sweet today." You teased him and he scoffed. "Anyway, I know you only want to focus on Kaishi but having other kids here for the first time, other than Ishida, is like his dream come true. It took me a lot of time to get on the parents good sides. It took a lot of time for them to want to bring other kids around Kaishi because if the yakuza affiliations. Had it not been for the fact that you've began working into charity for the city, I dont think anyone would've given us a chance. Bow we have parent friends, and now Kaishi has a chance for an amazing birthday this year. Let's not mess this up, okay? That means NO EXCESSIVE GERMAPHOBIA, and NO ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOR okay?" You drilled it home at the end. He sighed in annoyance. "Ugh fine. I'll try to conversate with the other scum as if they never insulted the yakuza before. You had better be lucky I appreciate you and Kaishi at this point or this wouldn't be happening." Kai complained before pulling his medical mask down and kissing you lightly on your lips. "You two are being icky again. I'm going to tell Grandpa on you guys." Kaishi's voice brought you two back to reality. "Oh hush, and mind your business." Kai said as he ruffled his son's short hair playfully. Kaishi giggled and swatted the gloved hand away. He took a seat at the kitchen table next to Kai's laptop and peeked over to see what was on the screen. While you went to fix him some oatmeal, his father bolted to the seat and slapped the laptop closed. "No peeking. Havent you any manners?" Kai fussed lightly while Kaishi smiled. "Its okay daddy, I already know you two are planning my birthday for tomorrow." The boy said proudly. "That may be so, but it doesnt mean we cant at least surprise you with the decorations and food." Kai explained. You placed breakfast in front of Kaishi and sat down with your boys. Pops had just entered the kitchen at this point. "Family breakfast? Dont mind if I do." He smiled and took a seat next to you. "Grandpa, what will you give me for my birthday?" Kaishi asked excitedly. Kai flicked his cheek. "Dont be rude brat, respect your elders." He scolded him as Pops laughed. "Oh calm down, Chisaki my boy. My grandson is very calm at this age compared to how you used to act." Pops said with a smirk as you laughed and Kai blushed lightly with embarrassment. "Anyway, my Grandchild your gift will have to remain a surprise until tomorrow." Pops winked and Kaishi groaned. "Aw man. Well, mom/dad? What will you get me?" He turned to look at you in anticipation. You put a finger to your chin to think for a second. Then you snapped and made an 'Ah-Ha' expression. "I'm going to get you a fancy suit! Maybe I'll get some toys too. Just maybe, you'll have to wait and see." You teased him and he smiled. "Daddy, what about you?" He looked at Kai for an answer. "Just like Pops said, it will be a surprise. However, I'll take the time now to ask you what you want as a gift from all of us. It'll serve separately from the gifts we'll get you so dont worry." Kai watched his son expectantly as Kaishi searched his little mind. Seconds later he piped up excitedly:
"SMOOGLY!!!" He shouted happily and raised his arms dramatically in the air. You and Pops laughed while Kai tilted his head in confusion. "Smoo-what? Are you well? Are you speaking in tongues???" Kaishi giggled at his father's confusion. You turned towards Kai to explain. "Kai, Smoogly is a character from Kaishi's favorite show. He's this giant lollipop that dances and sings. Yknow, kids love that stuff." Kai stared at you for a second before nodding. Then he turned his attention back to Kaishi eating breakfast finally. "Alright then, you want Smoogly then that's what you'll get." After breakfast, Kaishi went to call Ishida on the phone. You monitored in awe, gushing as your baby talked to his little crush over the phone. The two were fast friends, and she was the first/only child in the class to accept and support Kaishi to the fullest degree. Meanwhile, Pops went to the backyard to water the flowers and feed the Koi in the pond. Kai headed out to the car to call Kurono/pick him up. "Chrono, I know I've given you the off day but I need a favor." Kai spoke on the car wireless phone while he drove. "Yeah man, what's up?" Hari answered from the other side. He was currently face deep in a 3rd bag of chips as he reclined on his sofa. "The brat's birthday is tomorrow and it's his first big one with other parents and children expected to be there. He wants some actor there to perform or something. Some thing called Smogie or Smothly or something like that."
"OHHHHH!!!! You're talking about Smoogly!" Hari shouted excitedly, his voice boomed over the car speakers. "Yeah whatever that mess is. Anyway, help me track him down and I'll give you tomorrow off to repay you from today. You can also have some leftover cake." Kai offered him. "Bet!" Kurono answered shortly before hanging up and getting ready. In moments Kai was at his door to retrieve him. The two men drove around for a bit while Kurono did some searching online. Lucky for him, it wasn't that hard to find Smoogly's booking information. "Found it, Kai. It says here that we can email and make a down payment, or call the home offices for a response in about...14 days." Kai almost slammed on the breaks. "14 days??? No that's not possible for a booking that could be denied. My Kaishi's birthday is tomorrow. We need to get this Smoogly there as soon as possible." He felt a bit of panic set in. Kai would never forgive himself if he couldn't get his son's biggest wish for his birthday. "Hey man chill. We'll just go to his office and speak to him directly. I mean, we've got a little pull when it comes to money. Also, we're yakuza so..."
"I know what you're thinking Chrono, and the answer is no. We cant push too many buttons or we'll end up leaving the gray area in which we operate in. I cant afford to get arrested on Kaishi's birthday." Hari rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Whatever man. Just take a left onto the main freeway and we should reach the exit in like 30 minutes. After that, we just follow the main road for 4 more minutes, take a right at the stop light, and turn off the Broadway drive. Smoogly's office should be right between a steak restaurant and a car dealership." Hari explained the directions. Kai nodded and the two were on their way. Once they made it to the offices, they took a number and sat in the waiting room. The wait wasnt uncomfortable to Kai...it was the old man across from them that kept coughing that made him uncomfortable. He felt hives pop up on his arms. Luckily the two were called before he went insane! Only minutes later they were standing before a chubby man smoking a cigarette behind a desk. He had dark hair, and was balding right in the middle of his head. His skin was just a step away from being super pale (no doubt because he had the costume on a lot) His noticable feature was the large mole on his cheek. He was clearly a foreigner from some city somewhere, thanks to his accent.
(!!!Reader, think about Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force!!!)
"Alright, what can I do for you two men? Wait a minute, you two are the tax guys right?"
"Uhhh, no. No we're here to inquire about an opening to hire you? The pay will of course be-"
"Yeah yeah yeah. Pay doubled blah blah. I've heard this a million times before. I get bastards like you that come in here every single day asking to pay extra just so I can come to your event. The moms are even worse since they also think they're entitled to my services." The chubby man interrupted Kai. "Please. It's my son's birthday. You see, this birthday is special because he's never had-"
"Pshhh...yeah buster, you're kid is special. Just like everyone else that's come in here before you to say the same thing. Bottom line is that I ain't doing it. If you want my services than file through email or take it up with the front desk. Deposits non-refundable if you get denied. Have a nice day." He put out the cigarette and picked up a rather inappropriate nude magazine. Kai looked at Chrono and sighed as if to say Hari can take over. Hari smiled darkly and went to approach the desk. The chubby man hadn't looked up from the magazine as he spoke. "Look man, I said piss off. What, you didnt get the picture the first time or-" he immediately froze and turned his attention to Hari when he heard the click of the gun. When he turned, he was staring down the glock.
Hari spoke up darkly. "Hey buddy, I'm a changed man but that doesn't mean shit is sweet. I've killed a dozen people before and I'm not afraid to go to prison. Either you do my nephews birthday party tomorrow, or we wear your face on a memorial T-Shirt. Fuck is it gonna be? Eh???" The man gulped and shakily reached his finger out to the voice machine on his desk. "Deborah cancel all my appointments tomorrow, I've got a birthday to go do." Hari and Kai smiled when they heard the voice reply 'Right away, sir.' They bid the man goodbye and left the office. The next day, Kaishi rushed to the backyard after taking a quick shower and getting ready. It was decorated beautifully with bounce houses, a splash area, party games, an extensive food/present table, swings, slides, etc. Most importantly, the parents actually showed up with their kids. Kaishi almost cried tears of happiness when he finally had friends to play with. Meanwhile, you and Pops chatted with the other parents until Smoogly arrived to perform. The kids absolutely loved every bit! Every once in a while, the Lollipop turned to look at Kurono standing in the corner, smirking menacingly and daring him to slip up just once. Smoogly quickly turned around and kept performing. At the end of his shift, he was paid extra just as Kai promised, and Kaishi got to take a picture with him. Finally it came time for presents. Kaishi was happy to receive so many gifts, but he was more eager to get his gifts from you, Kai, and Pops (even Hari got him a secret gift at the last minute). Kaishi smiled at the wooden box Pops had given him. When he opened it, it revealed a small pin on a soft cushion. It was shiny and brand new. It was the symbol of the Hassaikai, the infamous flower design. "My grandson, when your father was younger I had given him this very same gift. Please be sure to take good care of it." He gently placed a hand on Kaishi's head. The boy nodded excitedly and passed the box for you to hold while he opened up the remaining gifts. It was a surprise jacket from you to him. It was just a smaller version of Kai's jacket! Plus that suit you promised, and a few other Smoogly themed toys as well. From Hari, he recieved a new helmet for his new bike. Finally from Kai he received a matching mask. With the suit and the jacket, he was the matching embodiment of his very on father (aside from inheriting some of your skin tone depending on your color, my dear reader).
This was truly the perfect birthday.

Pushing the paper into my pocket I knocked twice.
'Sano'
The big doors opening, I saw the numerous armed men around the red sofa, where a tanned man was sat, smoking a cigar. The room was full of thick smoke.
'Sano my man! Come here come here. Anything to drink ? Bourbon perhaps?'
'Dante I assume?'
'You assumed good! Dante is my name. You don't mind my men right? Security measures.'
That was where the difference laid between an international mafia like La Costra Nostra and small gangs that I've met before.
They had an army of men, and it made me think of Bonten. We weren't that different at the end.
'Concerning the drink, I won't take anything. And for your men, I would have done the same.'
Quickly counting them, 25. We were on the first floor and a huge window was behind them.
'Scared of poison? I got you. Then sit, we won't lose more time'
Now facing him and his men I could feel the tension. I could even cut the atmosphere with a knife. Chin resting on my hands, I was waiting for him to talk.
'So Sano. You're Bonten's leader. My boss and I have checked your history and it's quite incredible. Bonten is Japan's worst criminal organization, we like that. I'm afraid I need to be honest with you. We have already contacts with the Yamaguchi-gumi. They're the top Yakuza family, it was normal for us to be with them. However, some things... are not of our taste. They're a bit sneaky and we don't like people who get their noses in other's business. The issue here is this one.'
Checking the time on my watch. 7 minutes have passed.
'They heard about our meeting today. Their boss asked us to take care of you and-'
Ready to take my gun out, Dante only chuckled while rising his hands.
'Don't be on your guards already Sano! Wait for the rest. Put that gun back where it belongs, come on'
'Keep talking'
Exhaling the smoke he took his time to resume his speech.
'As I was saying, the Yamaguchi-gumi wants you dead. But you haven't done anything to us yet. La Costra Nostra doesn't like hurting their future associates but we have principles. We help our current contacts.'
11 minutes. 4 minutes left.
'Which means that I've to try something. I want to see if you're a worthy opponent. We wanted to break the contract with Yamaguchi-gumi. That would be the perfect opportunity for us, Bonten and La Costra Nostra, to associate don't you think?'
13 minutes. 2 minutes left.
'But first... I need to check something. I've heard a lot about you. How you were called the Invincible Mikey back then. A ruthless leader. I like that! But I need proof. So...'
14 minutes. 1 minute left.
'Don't hold a grudge alright?'
Multiple things happened at the same time. Dante pulled out his gun aiming at me but I rolled on my left, avoiding the bullet.
Shooting two of his subordinates in the process I heard the door opening in a loud thud.
'Sano!! Fight!'
'And here you are!! I knew a mouse was among us tonight !!'
Gunshots could be heard, blood splashing my face, my clothes. Bodies falling on the ground, I guessed that the girl from before had arrived.
She told me to fight. But that was what I was doing already.
Throwing the empty gun away I punched the nearest man with a loud crack and took his pistol. Using his body as a shield I kept shooting and soon enough I found myself bumping her shoulder.
'Fuck ! I don't have anymore bullets!'
Scanning the room- 10 men still standing and among them, Dante.
'Come on Sano. You're trapped. I don't think-'
I wouldn't have that. Pulling her close by her waist I shoved the body away and ran to the window.
'Wait Manjiro that's not how you-'
'We don't have a choice!'
And I jumped. Bullets hissing around me I felt one piercing my belly and others brushing my skin, opening it slightly.
The landing wouldn't be perfect but we would make it out alive, at least.
Swapping our positions to have her on top of me, my back absorbed the fall. My shoulder was probably dislocated but I stood up directly after with her in my arms.
' We have to leave, come on!!'
Supporting me with her arms we left the sidewalk, stains of blood tainting the concrete.
'SANO! YOU'LL HEARD ABOUT US AGAIN'
The loud voice reaching my ears I stumbled, gripping my belly.
'Shit you're losing too much blood! I need to treat your-'
Pinning her against the nearest wall after making sure they didn't follow us, I pressed my arm against her throat, choking her.
'Who the fuck are you?'
'I'm here to help-'
'Who. Are. You.'
'Senju Akashi. But now is not the right time to discuss. We have to- wait. You were shot twice?? We have-'
Darkness. I felt something colliding with my skull. I probably fainted.
And here I told Vee that everything would be fine.
-Mikey
Anyway here is the second part it's bloody long lmao sometimes the scenes got a bit overboard but yeah, we're not finished with this.
Also!! In the plot, Senju isn't Brahman leader
it’s like the moment i tell these mfs be safe they go ‘how can i do the exact opposite?’ 🙄
I couldn’t sit still. A few hours had passed without a single hint or sign Mikey was okay, or that he was even alive. I tried to pass the time any way I could.
I showered. I tried on some clothes, modeling them in the mirror. I watched TV. I played games on my phone. None of them kept my attention too long, the thought of Mikey’s safety or lack thereof looming over me like a storm cloud. And when all avenues of distraction ceased having their effectiveness, I started to pace.
I nearly walked a hole in the floor, and kept walking even though my legs screamed in protest. There was temptation to start biting at my nails, a wicked one, but I persevered. I’d gone too long without the bad habit. Didn’t wanna start it up again.
There was no way to tell how much time passed since he left now. I stopped checking the clock after the third hour. It only made me more nervous.
I all but sob in relief when my phone rings shrill on the table, but my heart falls at the contact name. Sanzu. Clicking the green button, I don’t care to notice that I’m holding my breath.
Wasting no time, Sanzu interrogates me. Is Mikey with you?
Huh? Surely wasn’t the question I was expecting, but it makes me feel no better.
Is. Mikey. With you. He was supposed to check in with us an hour ago but we haven’t got shit.
My heart pounds, the orders Mikey left me with the day previous doing nothing to ease the unsteady beat. If I’m not home by then, call Sanzu. I’ll most likely be dead. And then, as overkill, memories of us in the car, shopping and us being lazy in bed the entire morning come right after.
Could it be..? Was Mikey really dead?
I look around the suite, the one he bought, surrounded by bags of things he purchased, the bed with his scent on it and struggle to swallow the sob down. If Mikey was dead, these would be our last memories together. That just couldn’t be.
Venus? Venus, can you hear me?
I answer steadily which surprises me. Y-yeah, I’m here.
Where the fuck did you ev— Look, just tell me the truth. Is Mikey back at the suite?
What I’m about to do is dangerous, inane, and ridiculously silly, but I do it anyway. He’s here.
Put him on the phone.
I bite my lip, ignore my subconscious screaming at me to tell the fucking truth! consequently digging a larger grave for myself. He’s resting.
Resting? Cut the bullshit. Mikey doesn’t sleep.
Well he is now, I snap, irritated that he doesn’t immediately believe the lie. It makes me have to think on the spot. How can I give myself credibility? Then, like a lightbulb went off in my head, I remember Mikey’s bloody knuckles. The bandages I had to wrap around his hand. He’s injured. The meeting went bad. I had to stitch him up.
Fuck, Sanzu curses. I knew we should have went with him! There’s a loud bang accompanied by glass shattering on the other end, inanimate objects subject to the wrath of Bonten’s volatile number 2. Call me when he wakes up, alright?
The line clicks before I can even reply, and I fall to the ground, my legs too shaky to support me.
Please be alive, I whisper to the ceiling, hoping it reaches him wherever he is.
Because if he’s not, I’m pretty sure I’ll be the one following after him.

Duke Reviews: The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift
Hi Everyone, I'm Andrew Leduc And Welcome To Duke Reviews Where Today We Are Continuing Our Look At The Fast And Furious Films By Talking About The 7th Movie...
Tumblr media

Later That Night, Han And Sean Watch As Friends Of Theirs Play Soccer Which Leads Sean To Ask How Han Ended Up In Tokyo...
(Han) Ah, You Know The Old Story, Boy Falls For Girl, Boy Ends Up With Girl, Girl Dies Trying To Save Guy's Life...
Asking Han Why He Let Him Race His Car When He Knew He Was Gonna Wreck it...
Tumblr media
All He Says Is Why Not? He Has Money (Probably Left Over From The Rio Heist) And It's Trust And Character He Needs Around Him Because Who You Choose To Hang With Lets You Know Who You Are...
Wow, I Hate To Say This About This Movie But That Is So True...
Asking What Han Does Drift For? If Not To Win, He Decides To Show Sean And It Turns Out He Does It To Impress The Ladies....
You Know I'd Like To Know To Know If This Takes Place Immediately After Furious 6 Or A Few Years After Furious 6 Because If Its Immediately After Furious 6, Han Sure Got Over Giselle Quickly...
This Leads To Han Teaching Sean How To Drift By Basically Saying That There's No "Wax On Wax Off" With Drifting, You Just Do It...
But As This Montage Continues We See Sean Moving Out Of His Dad's House And Moving In With Han And Twinkie...
So, With Sean Winning The Race, DK Gives Up His Corolla To Han...
Wow, That's A Burn To Your Ego...
Going Out With Neela, Sean Finds Out That Her Mom Died When She Was 10 And She Came Out To Tokyo When She Finished High School And That All She Knows About Her Mom Is That She Used To Work In A Hostess Bar But After Her Death, DK's Grandmother Took Her In...
Ha, Why Do I Have A Feeling This Is Like How Thanos Adopted Gamora...
Talking About His Family, Sean Tells Neela That His Parents Split Up When He Was 3, And Him And His Mom Moved Around A lot Mainly Because Of Him...
Drifting In The Mountains With Neela, She Takes Sean To A Place She Used To Go To When She Was A Kid, Where Sean Talks About The Day He Got His Driver's License...
The Next Day, DK Punches Sean In The Face, Telling Him To Stay Away From Neela, Seeing Sean's Wounds At School, Neela Confronts DK To Tell Him She's Leaving Because He's An Asshole, Which Leads Him To Say The Classic Villain Phrase Of We're Not So Different, You And I...
Because They're Both The Products Of Screw Ups And If They Hadn't Taken Her In She'd Be Just Like Her Mother But No Matter What DK Says Neela Still Leaves And Moves In With Sean, Han And Twinkie...
Being Visited By His Uncle Yamata, DK Gives Him The Week's Pay Through He's Not Able To Understand Half Of The Paperwork There, But One He Does Know Is That Han Is Stealing From Them, DK Doesn't Believe It At First Stating That If It Was True, He'd Have Caught It Which Then Leads Yamata To Say In His Own Way Deal With It Or Else..,
Visiting Han, DK Is Pissed Off And Ready To Kill Han, Which Leads Twinkie To Lower The Doors, So Han Can Fight And Escape...
With Sean And Neela Getting In One Car And Han In Another, DK And His Cronies Follow Them In A Chase Across The City...
Which Leads To The Crash Heard Around The Entire Fast And Furious Franchise...
Tumblr media
And Where Do I Begin To Talk About This Scene?
Tumblr media
Red Dot=Sean And Neela
Blue Squiggle=Shaw
Gold ?= Han
First Off, I Know That This Was Just The 3rd Movie And Furious 7 Wasn't In The Blink Of Their Eyes Yet But All I'm Doing Is Giving A Funny Analysis Of A Scene That Was Way Different Then Than What We Know Now And Second, I'm Not Going To Go "Oh, There's No Cross There For Dom To Find" Shaw Could Have Planted That When The Camera Panned Up...
But Now Onto What I Have To Say, Starting With...
Sean Tries To Save Han Just As The Car Explodes!...
First Off, Shaw Would Not Take Any Chances, He Would Hold Sean Back To Make Sure The Car Exploded And That He Got What Wanted Then When Sean Asks Him "Why He Did That?" He Wouldn't Say A Word, He Would Kill Sean By Either Shooting Him Or Breaking His Neck Before Going After Neela Because They Were Witnesses! Then After That He'd Call Dom Saying...

(Start At 1:19, End At 1:27)
And Second, As We Get An Up Shot Of Sean And Neela Watching Han's Car Burn, We See That Shaw's Car Is Still There Beside Them! If There's One Thing I Know About Killers It's That They Always Flee The Scene Of The Crime Which Means Shaw Should Be Gone By Now Especially If There's Police Coming!
So, To Finish This Part Off, Shaw's Car Should Have Been Gone After The Job Was Finished And Sean And Neela Should Be Dead Now, This Review's Over, Bye!
Tumblr media
Okay, It's Not Over, It Should Be, But It's Not Anyway, Sean Takes Neela To His Dad's Where They're Found By DK Who's Ready To Kill Sean, But Sean's Dad Is About Ready To Do The Same To DK Only For Neela To Say That She'll Go Back With DK If She Spares Sean So, He Does...
Ready To Put Sean On A Plane Home, Sean Tells His Dad That He's Not Running This Time, He Made This Mess, So It's Up To Him To Fix It To Which Dad Gives Him Credit For Trying To Fix His Problems..
With Twinkie Arriving In The Hulk-Mobile, He Tells Sean That Maybe It's Best He Listen To His Dad And Run But Sean Says He Can't, Deciding Instead Solve His Problems By Dealing With The One Person That DK Listens To And Can't Disobey, His Uncle!
Using Cash That Han Gave Him, Sean Manages To Get Into See Yamata By First Apologizing, Saying That Him And His Nephew Have Disrespected Themselves By The Way They've Been Acting And That He Wishes To Offer A Peaceful Solution By Challenging DK To Another Race With The Winner Staying In Tokyo And Loser, Leaving Town, Never To Return...
With Yamata Agreeing To Sean's Terms, Sean Gets To Han's Garage To Build A Car But Unfortunately, They Have Nothing, Police Confiscated Everything, However, They Do Find The Car That Sean Damaged In His First Race Against DK Which Leads Them To Combine What's Left Of That Into The Car His Dad Found..
Wait A Minute! The Hulk Mobile Has Hulk Toys And A Hulk Bobblehead On It's Dash!?! Oh, God, I Am So Glad I Am Done With Hulk Mobile Jokes Because There's A lot More I Could Take From This...
With The Car Built, The Night Of The Race Is Upon Them As Both Contenders Go To The Starting Line...
And I Think We Know What Happens, Yep, Sean Wins The Race And The Title Of DK With Neela Going Back To Him, Takashi Leaves Tokyo Forever And Everything Seems Happily Ever After. However, One Night At The Parking Garage, Twinkie Comes Over To Sean Saying That Someone Who Knows Han Wants To Race Him Saying That Han Was "Family" So Getting In His Car, He Sees A 1970 Charger, Gee, I Wonder Who's Driving It? Yep, Who Else But Good Old Dom...
And We Never Find Out Who Wins. This Movie Is Okay...
While This Film Does Have A Few Good Moments, It's Mainly Outweighed By A lot Of Bad, While The Setting Is Great, I've Seen Tokyo In A Lot Of Movies And TV Shows (More Recently On The Reality Show Better Late Than Never And If You've Got A Brain Please Watch It, It Is The Funniest Show You Will Ever See, It's Not On Tv Now But If You Have Hulu Watch It On There They Have Both Seasons) But Besides Me Doing A Promotion For An NBC Show, The Cast Was Very Bland Only Cast Member That Was Good Was Sung Kang As Han And While Some Of The Cars Were Well Designed Others Like The Hulk Mobile Were Ridiculous So In Other Words, Just Skip This Film And Go Right To Furious 7 Cause, You'll Be A Lot Happier If You Do...
Till Next Time, This Is Duke, Signing Off...
