Ciao sensei Toriyama. 💔

Oggi avrei voluto fare il solito post polemico per ricordare al mondo che la donna non è “donna” solo oggi, ma tutta la vita, tuttavia stamattina sono stata sopraffatta da questa notizia e non ho parole… Qualcuno di voi ha mai sentito parlare di Dragon Ball? Ebbene Akira Toriyama era il suo creatore, un artista che è riuscito a dar vita a una saga che continua ad emozionare generazioni da…

I just called my Sensei Dad...Shiiiiit- Shinsou Hitoshi, part 1

Shinsou Hitoshi was a simple person. He kept to the same routine every day in every foster home; get up, go to school, train with Aizawa-sensei, go home and study, all while keeping his head down and mouth shut. Unfortunately, like most things, that routine didn't last forever.

~~~~~

Hitoshi was heading home when it happened. He headed for the train station like normal, but wasn't normal was the presence he felt behind him. Looking over his shoulder, Hitoshi saw Mic-sensei. The purple haired teen waved, only faltering in his stride briefly. Nerves feeling like live wire, Hitoshi picked up his pace and booked it to the train station.

He couldn't afford to be late home again.

~~~~~

Hizashi would be lying if he said wasn't perplexed and a little concerned by the behaviour Shinsou exhibited. The kid was skittish at the best of times but for the life of him, Hizashi couldn't figure out why. Was Shinsou doing okay at home? He seemed to be doing okay at school, seeing as his performance hadn't changed.

Looks like I'll be talking to Sho about this , Hizashi thought worriedly.

Little did he know his decision to talk to his husband would change things very quickly, and very permanently.

~~~~~

Shouta knew the second Hizashi walked in the door something was bothering him, the blondes shoulders were tense and his brows furrowed deep in thought. "Zashi? Everything okay?" Shouta asked, his tone gentle yet concerned.

Slim shoulders rose and fell with a deep, troubled sigh. "Does Shinsou raise any red flags to you?" Hizashi finally asked. Shouta put down his grading, giving his partner his full attention. "What kind of red flags Zashi?" The raven haired hero became even more concerned if that were possible.

Hizashi ran a hand down his face and took a deep breath, collecting his thoughts. Finally, he broke the silence. "He's skittish at the best of times, he rarely interacts with his peers, and he doesn't like being called on in my class. Is he like that with you? I know you've been training him after school."

Shouta pursed his lips in thought, mentally going over his time spent training the purple haired kid. His lips pulled down into a frown as he realized that indeed, Shinsou raised several red flags. "How did I not noticed?" Shouta groaned, letting his head fall into his hands. "Tell me what you noticed, please Zashi."

And so, Hizashi recounted not only what he saw earlier that day, but also what he's observed since the start of year. The quietness, the withdrawn behaviour, the dislike of having people's attention, isolating himself in general.

"I don't want to assume anything, but Sho, that kind of behaviour isn't normal." Hizashi said, distraught and feeling helpless. Warm and strong arms wrapped around him, warm yet rough hands rubbed up and down his back.

"Zashi, love, it's gonna be okay. You're his homeroom teacher and this could be cause to call a parent-teacher meeting, maybe even a home visit. The question now is, what are you going to do with what you know?"

The blonde took a deep breath, grounding and centering himself. He knew what he had to do.

~~~~~

A/n: This is getting long so as not to go over the character limit I'll be splitting this up into parts, don't know how many. Ciao!

Burning in Firenze Rehearsal Report

(This is the Rehearsal Report of the National Tour performance “Burning in Firenze”, source taken from Sky Stage)

Kaga Ririka (Ririka): We will introduce the rehearsal situations in Flower Troupe National Tour performance “Burning in Firenze”, with these two members!

Sakino Mion (Myon-chan): I am Sakino Mion playing Matilda.

Mano Kazuma (Mano-chan): I am Mano Kazuma playing Vittorio Girotti.

Ririka: This production was first performed by Migiwa Natsuko in Snow Troupe in 1975, so this is a rendition after 47 years. Even though there’s no clips for reference, how did everyone feel when you first read the script?

Myon-chan: Even though this is a rendition, there’s no reference to how the characters should be portrayed, so I felt like this is a new show and did some new interpretations to the character.

Mano-chan: For me when it’s the meeting day (shuugobi), while reading the script, Oono-sensei was saying he hopes to see every new character be portrayed as cool as possible, to shape these characters as someone with dynamic personalities. I think that’s particularly important for this production so I’ll aim for this in my rehearsals.

Ririka: That sounds reassuring to hear! (laughs) Matilda has interactions with many various characters, even though it’s limited to a few, whom have you flirted with?

Myon-chan:  I play as Towaki Sea’s lover. The first time when I read the script, also adding the movements and facial expressions into the rehearsals, I try shaping a woman’s image that’s whole-hearted and all devoted to Othello. But Oono-sensei said that Italian women are very passionate and resilient. They won’t give up no matter what. “I’m not convinced if it happens like that” – they almost have a sharp personality like that. It took quite some time to portray those qualities, but then singing and dancing and learning the choreography to tempt other men, it feels easier to complete shaping her character. This is deliberately shown to Othello and you could see her thoughts presented in the lines as well. If I could present this intricately, it would definitely create an evident character image, and I’m still discovering more.

Ririka: In that “Ciao” song, I don’t know how many “ciao”s have we sung! (laughs) I think that’s a highlight too. I think it’s rare to see Myon-chan in an image of luring other men and engaging in this sexy role. I felt like seeing another new side of Myon-chan so I’m excited to see the actual performance. Mano-chan plays as the relative of the two brothers Yuzuka-san and Minami-san, how does that feel?

Mano-chan: Seeing Yuzuka-san and Minami-san acting with each other, it’s almost like feeling like having the same DNA as both of them so I’m very happy and so elated. Especially I act alongside Minami-san a lot, while exchanging and studying the script together, I felt like I’ve learnt more in the process so it’s very joyful and interesting. So glad to be able to act with Minami-san whom I respect a lot. In the reunion scene, you could know about Vittorio’s image from others’ words. The Italian unification movement also showed his enthusiastic side. His personality could be revealed in various scenes. I really like this role and respect it a lot, so I will do my best in portraying it. Ririka: I think “Italian” is also a keyword in this performance. “Nation unification movement” is another keypoint. As you said, there’s really full of enthusiastic and passionate characters. So I recall what you said about Oono-sensei telling us that we should really portray the roles as suave and cool as possible. Mano-chan does a great job in that! Mano-chan: Thank you so much! I’ll do even better from now on.

Ririka: Also, playing as Yuzuka-san and Minami-san’s father is Takashou-san from Senka. And also for Hoshikaze Madoka-chan, it was really brilliant in that dance scene in the beginning. Mano-chan wasn’t there but how does Myon-chan feel?

Myon-chan: From that choreography onwards, I really felt it was so amazing. It’s very sexy because it captivates the men from the scene.

Ririka: That was a fabulous scene, one of the highlights for Madoka-chan, what an impressive entrance that was! Also Rika-san will perform with us too. It’s really cute with the three sisters too: the eldest sister is Haruhi Urara-chan, second sister Hoshizora-chan, the youngest sister is Aira Miko-chan. And Rika Masumi-san will be the mother. What a wonderful family that is. Their characters’ setting is Yuzuka-san’s relatives.

Myon-chan: They really are full of a harmonious atmosphere.

Ririka: That’s really cute, right? No matter if you’re in that scene, do you have times when you feel “Oh, I love this scene” or “I want to rewatch this again”?

Myon-chan: After feeling “Ciao”, in the bar Yuzuka-san’s Antonio and Minami-san’s Leonardo were like whispering. Even though if it’s a little irrelevant here, but that scene was right after the song “Ciao”, the Towaki Sea-san then was so handsome! (laughs)

Ririka: How about Mano-chan?

Mano-chan: I like the scene where there are four women in the bar. The choreography arranged by Hirasawa-sensei was too superb. Sometimes when I dance that part, I get too excited and unconsciously just danced too hard. Hirasawa-sensei would then say, “Mano, are you sure that’s how you should dance it?” (laughs) It’s really THAT kind of cool.

I like the story how it continues from there.

Ririka: Seems like another highlight to watch out for!

Oh right, there’s also the carnival scene. Should be a highlight from both of you too! Everyone’s so energetic. The story setting for that is a masquerade carnival. Everyone’s costumes are full of its own colours, since we don’t know how the stage would be set up then, but I’m looking forward.

Yuzuka-san, Minami-san, Hoshikaze-chan and Hoshizora-chan – you can see a love quadrilateral among them, from the start to the end. When you include the theme of the production into these songs, I find that very moving.

Myon-chan: Shibata-sensei’s productions always involve delicate portrayal of love between men and women. You can really feel those rich emotions.

Mano-chan: In those various types of love, but professing your feelings, it feels bitter, sweet and in pain all again.

Ririka: There’s also some new characters that haven’t been seen in the first premiere. Kazumi plays as Colonel Mangano.

Mano-chan: So great.

Myon-chan: So cool.

Mano-chan: (Colonel) is so cool to me, but also for Vittorio who participates in the national unification movement as an aristocrat, there is definitely pressure. If I could present it clearly the contrast between these two in our acting, it would be great. Because he’s someone so important.

Ririka: Finally, please say some aspirations for this performance.

Mano-chan: There’s a unification movement in Sardinia, Italy and there’s something that (Vittorio) only knows after experiencing this movement. These are emotions unique to him. I hope I could enthusiastically present this role to you all. No matter if it’s those who’ve seen the first premiere, or those first time seeing this musical, I hope everyone would enjoy our performance. For that, we’ll do our best in our performance. Everyone, please come and watch us.

Myon-chan: This is my first time challenging someone like Matilda, a passionate, persistent and resilient woman. I will do my best in every scene and live on strongly like Matilda.

Flower Troupe National Tour Performance “Burning in Firenze” “Fashionable Empire”. Everyone, please come and watch us!

oc-insert

resigned to never writing multi-chaptered and naruto fics because 1. procrastination. 2. id say id need to watch naruto first to write anything about it, even if ive read an absurd amount of time travel fics, yknow?

so. uh. here. this is old. i dont need these notes anymore. so im dumping them here.

-----------------------------

the oc test: insert into naruto

no but seriously theres a stupidly large amount of more oc-inserts in naruto then any other fandom ive seen and that might be because of dreaming of sunshine (finally succumbed and read it. its not bad but my first instinct is 1. not to read first person. 2. not to read female pov. but there was a really good naruto x hp crossover with female harry. and i just had to bite the bullet at that point aghh.) i mean. im not trying to be sexist with it. but i mean. ive read way too many male/nonbinary povs that im just used to it. two, i got horribly dysphoric over she/her, although its better now (i was just in a really bad place mentally) but since i avoided it, now i avoid it out of habit and sometimes f/m relationships make me cringe. and thats probably because ive always seen the really bad ones portrayed which whoops

anyway reinen!! my beloved oc who ive only written once (in khr) which is a crime and i should write more. he/they pronouns my precious …they're probably eccentric enough that they'd belong to a clan. their appearance, he usually has his eyes closed like ranpo from bsd (but can still see), and sometimes opens their eyes in moments of shock or seriousness or something something (they have golden eyes)

also they have white hair.

they're portrayed with tan skin cause i have tan skin (reinen was originally meant to be like an oc for me the creator instead of making it look like me like i had before. but then it became something entirely different lmfao. reinens not an author insert because they're nothing like me hehe) but i honestly dont care what color skin they have? i dont even mention appearances half the time cause i always forget to write it

naruto-sasuke-reinen

i know sakura gets bashed on a lot (and i adore bamf sakura) and seen as the weak link or 'civilian' but hgiuf

or maybe. reinens a hatake (Hatake Rei). younger then kakashi but maybe as a assistant sensei for team 7???

naruto vocal tics (is tics the right word?)

Kakashi: maa maa (well well)

Naruto: Dattebayo! (Y'know! or Believe it!)

Kushina: Dattebane? (Yeah?)

Sasuke: hnn. (hnn.)

I'm realizing I write 'yo' a lot as a greeting

alternatively is ciao, which might be because they're first introduced in khr. as someone with mafia ties. italian. yknow.

so now i just. kind of connect reinen with italian.. ;-;

reinen being more lean and flexible? graceful in a sense. i always think of them as a performer.

although. really good at T&I? well it's less torture and more on the interrogation aspect. leaning more towards.. kunoichi aspects. i think. (they're androgynous. think epel felmier from twisted wonderland because its pretty close in appearance actually) seduction probably. (where kakashi hides his appearance, reinen flaunts it probably [kakashi pointy hair, reinen curled hair]) scarily good at acting

conflict conflict like: kakashi: you shouldve been their sensei. reinen: no-- what?? kakashi: you're better. reinen: that's not… listen. they need you. i can help them on other aspects, but im not nearly as good at being on the frontlines. your team to me looks like they'll be a bunch of heavy hitters, and i cant do that. im not good at rushing in, that's not my fighting style. i get that you feel like you're broken, that you feel like you're going to ruin them. but listen. If you don't believe me on anything else, believe me on this. It's not about you. It's about your kids. So what if you 'don't deserve them' or 'you'll get them killed'? They don't have anyone else to turn to! And you know I'm busy with other responsibilities. I can't take over your job as sensei, because that's not my job. You were assigned that job and you better do it, or I swear Kakashi. What are you going to do when they die because you didn't bother to train them properly? 'You don't know how'? You have so many people you have connections to that would be willing to help if you just ask! I know Gai's had a team for a year, he'd be overjoyed to help. Or you could at least pull a few favors, I know you have a bunch of those to get other people to train them, but you can't just leave them in the deep end. That's the thing about responsibility over people. You don't do something, other people suffer. So get it together. you don't need to be perfect

Dammit, Kakashi, those kids love you already. They adore you! They don't need you to be the best, they just need you to be there. Okay? And. Maybe this is cruel. But you're not dead. They don't need you anymore. You know who does? The living people around you. That are breathing and moving. I get that maybe you won't ever feel over it, not really, but you can't prioritize them over the living. I think you should be there more often, okay? Let them know that you're first priority will always be them, not whatever they think you're doing while you're running late and still not appearing. Let them know they can trust you to be there for them. And if you can't, let them know. Indra knows those kids need an adult in their life they can trust.

(i cant find any naruto swears in place of stuff. in some uchiha-centered fics they use like Amaterasu! or Indra, i think, although im not sure how reinen would know it. but shut up i dont know of a person and i dont think god is valid here. …that is an oddly funny part. 'i don't think god is valid here'. hehehe..)

They need someone in their corner. You can be that person. Sakura has civilian parents, they wouldn't be able to understand her and she'd have no one to vent to. Maybe she'll go to you or me, we can't force her, but what we can do is make it clear she has an option. That she doesn't have to keep it inside, and that we have a lending ear for her. I can't be that alone because I won't always be free for them. I'm not their sensei, I can't excuse myself from work for them, but you can. I can't do it all for you.

Naruto has never actually had someone who'd be there for him, who'd listen, and maybe even do anything for him. I don't think he even knows it's a thing that people usually do for those they care about! Sure, there's Iruka-san but he also has responsibilities over other children, and honestly probably overworked.

The Sandaime? The hokage is meant to be unbiased.

He can't just take a break to care about some orphan nobody likes. He doesn't even stop by that often, no matter how much he probably wants to. Naruto can't rely on him to be on his side all the time.

You can be there.

Sasuke's lost in grief and anger. He hasn't had anyone to talk it through, to actually move past it. Everyone had been too worried about catching a rogue jounin, not about how traumatized a harmless little kid might've been.

…

he was left with the consequences alone. you know how that feels. remember? good ol dad was too disgraced, nobody wanted to clean the compound. you had to do it. scrubbing it off the floors.

wanna bet sasuke had to do the same? or maybe there were cleaners, but whose to say they didn't miss a spot or two? is it any better, in a place that was once filled with people, to be entirely empty? we moved for a reason sasuke deserves the same.

help him. i was too young, you did all the work then in finding somewhere else. if not opening up our home to him, then you could at least help him in the process. make it easier.

A Tale Of Three Dojos (Cobra Kai story): Chapter 8

At the hospital, Stingray regained consciousness and was attended to by the nurses, who mentioned that a detective had been waiting to talk to him.

“It's okay, Raymond. The man who did this can't hurt you anymore. Give me his name, and I promise you I'll put him away for a long, long time,” the detective said after he entered Stingray’s room.

“His name is Sensei Kreese. John Kreese.” Stingray said.

Terry had said that Stingray could rejoin Cobra Kai if he pinned the beating on Kreese.

At the All-Valley Sports Arena, Carmen, Rosa, Johnny, and Sarah watched as a nurse examined Miguel.

"Good news. Looks like it's just a pulled muscle. It may ache, but you'll be fine." The nurse said.

Carmen put her hand on her heart and sighed in relief. "Oh, thank God."

"So, does that mean I can keep fighting?" Miguel asked the nurse.

"They've given you 30 minutes to recover, so let the pain guide you. If it's telling you to sit this one out, I'd listen. I'll get you an ice pack." The nurse said.

“Thank you.” Miguel said.

“Mm-hm.” The nurse left.

“How does it feel now?” Johnny asked.

“Not bad. Just a little sore.” Miguel said.

“Miggy, you don't have to continue.” Carmen said.

“Don't worry, Mom. If something feels off, I won't fight.” Miguel said.

“Make sure he's okay.” Carmen told Johnny.

“Of course.” Johnny said.

Rosa spoke to Miguel in Spanish. Her words translated to “You were so good out there, especially when you kicked that one kid in the face.”

Miguel smiled. “Gracias, Yaya.”

Rosa touched Miguel’s face. “Ciao.”

Carmen and Rosa left.  

“All right, we've got a half-hour. Show your back who's boss.” Johnny told Miguel.

Johnny walked away. Sarah followed him.

“Robby Keene is ahead one-nothing as he and Demetri Alexopoulos battle it out for a trip to the finals,” Daryl said after Robby and Demetri’s fight started.

Robby managed to hit Demetri.

“Point, Keene. Score: 2-0. Go to your senseis.” The referee told Robby and Demetri.

Robby walked over to Kreese and Terry.

Demetri walked over to Daniel.

Daniel sighed, rubbing his hands together. "All right."

Demetri panted. “I had a hard enough time beating him when he was on the good side of the Force. Now that he has gone all Sith, I feel like a helpless Jedi youngling about to get slaughtered.”

“Well, you're taller. You have the high ground. That's how Obi-Wan beat Anakin.” Eli said.

“All right, just remember your fundamentals. Breathe in, breathe out, breathe through. You’ve got this. Come on, Demetri.” Daniel clapped.

Demetri and Daniel bowed to each other.

The referee walked up to Demetri. “Let's go.”

Demetri stepped onto the mat.

Robby stepped onto the mat.

“On your marks.” The referee told Robby and Demetri.

Robby got in a fighting position.

Demetri got in a fighting position.

“Ready. And fight!” The referee yelled.

Robby ran towards Demetri and tried to kick him. He blocked the kick with his arm. Robby tried to kick Demetri again, but he dodged the kick. Demetri tried to kick Robby, but Robby blocked the kick.

“That’s a block. No point.” The referee said.

The fight continued. Robby and Demetri blocked each other’s punches. Demetri grabbed Robby and pinned him to the floor. Robby rolled over. Demetri tried to punch Robby, but Robby dodged the punch. Demetri tried to kick Robby, but Robby dodged the kick. Robby tried to punch Demetri, but Demetri blocked the punch. Demetri tried to punch Robby, but Robby ducked. Robby swept Demetri’s legs out from under him.

“Aits!” Robby yelled as he kicked Demetri in the stomach.

“Point! Winner!” The referee yelled, grabbing Robby’s arm and lifting it.

The audience cheered.

Demetri stood up.

Robby walked over to Kreese and Terry.

Daniel approached the mat.

Demetri walked towards Daniel. “Okay, he’s very good.”

“So are you.” Daniel said.

Demetri smiled. “Thank you.”

“Come on.” Daniel told Demetri.

Demetri walked off the mat.

In the boys’ locker room, Kenny stood in front of the mirror and wiped the blood off his nose. Anthony approached him. He attempted to apologize for bullying him. Kenny pinned Anthony to a locker and pummeled him until Robby intervened. Kenny told Robby he was getting payback and warned the fallen Anthony he would be in for “a world of Payne” (a dark pun on his last name) the next school year. Disappointed, Robby told Kenny this was not how he trained him, but Kenny shrugged him off, having fully embraced the Cobra Kai mantra. Afterwards, Robby tried to tend to Anthony, but Anthony angrily rejected his aid and ran away.

A woman’s voice came through the intercom. “All participants in the girls' semifinals, please report to the center mat. Matches begin in five minutes.”

The participants in the girls' semifinals made their way to the center mat.

Tory fought a girl who wasn’t part of Miyagi-Do, Eagle Fang, or Cobra Kai. She won.

“I don’t know about you, but I am very excited about the next fight! Samantha LaRusso, daughter of two-time All-Valley champion Daniel LaRusso, will be facing off with Sarah Lawrence, daughter of fellow two-time All-Valley champion Johnny Lawrence. Good luck, ladies.” Daryl said.

Sam and Sarah stepped onto the mat.

The audience cheered.

"Face me. Bow." The referee told Sam and Sarah.

Sam and Sarah faced the referee and bowed.

"Face each other. Bow." The referee told Sam and Sarah.

Sam and Sarah faced each other and bowed.

“On your marks.” The referee told Sam and Sarah.

Sam got in a fighting position.

Sarah got in a fighting position.

“Ready. And fight!” The referee yelled.

Sam tried to punch Sarah. She blocked the punch and delivered a counterpunch to Sam’s chest.

“Point!” The referee yelled.

“Score is 1-0. On your marks. Ready?” The referee asked.

Sam got in a fighting position.

Sarah got in a fighting position.

“And fight!” The referee yelled.

Sarah tried to punch Sam, but she dodged the punch. She raised her right knee, slightly rotated her hips while extending her leg, and kicked Sarah in the stomach.

“Point!" The referee yelled.

“Score is 1-1. On your marks. Ready?” The referee asked.

Sam got in a fighting position.

Sarah got in a fighting position.

“Fight!” The referee yelled.

Sarah tried to kick Sam, but she dodged the kick. She tried to punch Sarah, but Sarah blocked the punch. She swung her right leg sideways in a circular motion and kicked Sarah in the stomach.

“Point!" The referee yelled.

“Score is 2-1. On your marks. Ready?” The referee asked.

Sam got in a fighting position.

Sarah got in a fighting position.

“And fight!” The referee yelled.

Sam raised her right leg, bended her knee slightly, and tried to kick Sarah in the stomach, but Sarah dodged the kick. She tried to punch Sarah, but Sarah blocked the punch. Sarah swung her right leg sideways in a circular motion and kicked Sam in the stomach.

“Point!" The referee yelled.

“Score is 2-2. On your marks. Ready?” The referee asked.

Sam got in a fighting position.

Sarah got in a fighting position.

“And fight!” The referee yelled.

Sarah tried to punch Sam, but she dodged the punch. She turned her head in the direction of her right leg and kicked backward, striking Sarah’s stomach with the heel of her foot.

“Point! Winner!” The referee yelled, grabbing Sam’s arm and lifting it.

Sam and Sarah walked off the mat.

Daryl spoke. “The girls’ final is set.”

Johnny and Sarah walked down the hallway. They encountered Kreese.

“How's the boy?” Kreese asked.

“Like you give a shit.” Johnny snapped.

Kreese sighed.

“Look, what happened with Terry back in the old dojo…” Kreese paused. “I didn't know he was going to do that.”

“Sarah and I don't have time for this shit.” Johnny said.  

Johnny and Sarah walked past Kreese.

“It didn't have to be this way, Johnny. You and Sarah could have been with me and your real son.” Kreese said.

Johnny and Sarah turned around.

Sarah glared at Kreese. “You don't care about Robby any more than you cared about my dad.”

“Bullshit. I cared about Johnny more than anyone.” Kreese said.

Johnny glared at Kreese. “You had a funny way of showing it. You forced me to fight dirty. You sacrificed my soul so Cobra Kai could stay number one.”

“I wanted you to be number one. But you were down two-zero. And you were about to be beaten. And I knew that would take you into a downward spiral. And I was right. Because no matter what people say, it does matter whether you win or lose. And if I can help Robby win, he'll remember it for the rest of his life. And maybe someday, he can be the one to keep Cobra Kai going.” Kreese said.

“No, that's never going to happen. Because tonight, Cobra Kai is going to die.” Johnny said.

Johnny and Sarah walked away.

Miguel was still trying to get back into fighting shape when Johnny and Sarah approached him.

“Here. Rub some of this on.” Johnny threw a tube of ointment at Miguel.

Miguel put some of the ointment on his back.

A woman’s voice came through the intercom. “The remaining boys' semifinal match will resume in five minutes.

“We have to hurry.” Johnny told Miguel.

Miguel tossed the tube of ointment aside.

“Sensei, I-I don't know if I can do this.” Miguel stammered.

“Yes, you can. You can do whatever you want if you want it bad enough. Look, I know you're not 100%, but you’ve got the heart of a champion. Everything you've learned and been through was just a warm-up for this moment. It's time to show the world what you're made of. Give it your all. Do what I tell you, and not only will we take down Cobra Kai, but we’ll also show LaRusso and everybody else who's really the best.” Johnny told Miguel.

"So, that's what this is about," Miguel muttered.

“Hey. We're not going to get another shot at this. It's now or never. You know what's at stake? If we lose, I'm not your sensei anymore. Do you want that?” Johnny asked.

Miguel shook his head.

"All right, then prove it. Fight for it. Show me you're not a kid anymore, all right? Show me you're ready to be a man. Can you do that?" Johnny asked.

Miguel spoke half-heartedly. "Yes, Sensei."

"All right, good. Rub that on. You’ve got this. I'll see you out there." Johnny said, handing the tube of ointment to Miguel and patting his shoulder before leaving.

Sarah followed Johnny.

"Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do are neck and neck on the leaderboard. But there's a dark horse, or should I say a dark bird, that still has a chance. Will Eagle Fang Karate stay alive in our dojo race? We're about to find out. Miguel Diaz has one minute to return to the mat!” Daryl yelled.

A timer appeared on the screen behind Daryl.

"Countdown clock? Kind of dramatic, isn't it?" Devon asked.

"Yeah. It's the All-Valley." Mitch said.

There were 25 seconds left on the clock.

"He’s really taking it down to the wire, huh?" Bert asked nervously.

Johnny and Sarah turned to the door Miguel would walk through if he chose to continue fighting. They didn't realize how long they were looking at the door until there were 10 seconds left on the clock.

“Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one!” The audience yelled.

A buzzer went off.

“Well, it looks like Miguel Diaz is not going to fight.” Daryl said.

Sarah locked eyes with Johnny. He looked disappointed.

The audience murmured.

“Which means that the winner by default is Eli Moskowitz, who advances to the final, where he will face Robby Keene.” Daryl said.

The audience cheered, making Daryl smile. "The finals are up next."

Johnny and Sarah walked down the hallway. They encountered Carmen.

“Johnny, what happened?” Carmen asked.

“I blew it. Where's Miguel?” Johnny asked.

“I don't know. I came back. He's not in there. He's probably afraid to see you. He thinks he let you down.” Carmen said.

“No, I'm the one that let him down.” Johnny said.

In an attempt to comfort Johnny, Carmen hugged him. “No.”

Johnny pulled away from Carmen. “Yeah.”

Sam was standing next to the water fountain, filling up her water bottle.

Miguel approached Sam. “Congrats. Heard you made it to the finals.”

Sam gave Miguel a worried look and asked, "What happened to you? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. It just felt like I wasn't fighting for me anymore.” Miguel said.

“I get that. I feel pressure from my dad all the time.” Sam said.

“Yeah, except Johnny isn't my dad.” Miguel said.

An awkward silence filled the air.

“Anyway…Uh, I just wanted to wish you good luck and let you know...” Miguel trailed off.

Daryl spoke. “All finalists, please report to the center mat.”

Miguel sighed.

“I’ve got to go. But I'll see you out there rooting for me, right?” Sam asked.

Miguel smiled. “I'm always rooting for you, Sam.”

Sam put her hand on Miguel’s cheek. They closed their eyes. She pressed her lips to his.

Sam walked away.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the wait is finally over. It's finals time!" Daryl yelled.

The audience cheered, making Daryl smile.

"Since Cobra Kai scored the most points, they only need to win one match to be crowned Grand Champion. But if Miyagi-Do wins both matches, the title is theirs! Ooh, high drama! Up first, the boys' fight! Good luck to all of our fighters! Let's go!" Daryl yelled.

The audience cheered.

Terry spoke to Robby. "This is it. Time to show LaRusso and your father that you don't need them. That you're strong enough on your own."

Eli spoke to Daniel. "This is my chance to get back at Robby for what he did to me."

“This fight is not about him. The biggest battle is always the one within. Okay, concentrate, defense, focus, power. You find your balance, and those points will come, all right?” Daniel asked.

Eli nodded.

"Competitors," the referee called out.

Daniel gave Eli a pat on the back. “Go out there. Go get him.”

Eli and Robby stepped onto the mat.

“On your marks.” The referee told Eli and Robby.

Eli called for a time-out.

Eli walked over to Daniel.

Robby walked over to Kreese and Terry.

“He knows all my moves. He trained at Miyagi-Do way longer than me.” Eli said.

Daniel seemed to tense up as he looked at Sam and Demetri.

Daniel turned to Eli. “And you were in Cobra Kai longer than him. You each know each other's karate better than anyone. Put him on defense.”

“Unbelievable! These two amazing competitors have reached their three-minute time limit in a one-one tie, which means their championship match will be decided, for the first time since 1985, by sudden-death overtime! Let's go!” Daryl yelled.

The audience cheered.

“Go to your senseis.” The referee told Eli and Robby.

Eli walked over to Daniel.

Robby walked over to Kreese and Terry.

Terry gritted his teeth. “You're showing him respect. This fight should be over by now.”

Robby raised an eyebrow and asked, “Do you want to fight him?”

Terry was about to take a step closer to Robby, but Kreese stopped him.

“You’re angry. Good. Use it.” Kreese told Robby.

“That was incredible!” Daniel yelled.

“Any advice on the last point?” Eli asked.

Daniel’s eyes landed on Sam before landing on Johnny.

Daniel turned to Eli.

"Give him all you’ve got." Daniel told Eli.

Eli and Daniel bowed to each other.

"Competitors, to the mat," the referee called out. 

Robby seemed annoyed that his gi had loosened. Instead of tying it up, he yanked it off, tossing it to a bewildered Tory.

Eli looked at the referee in confusion. The referee shrugged. Eli grabbed his gi and yanked it off, tossing it to a bewildered Demetri. He turned around and showed off his back tattoo before walking towards the mat.

“Next point wins. Good luck, gentlemen. Ready?” The referee asked.

Sarah walked over to her fellow students and Johnny.

Tory spoke. “Robby.”

Robby turned around.

“You all right?” Tory asked.

“Yeah. Focus on your fight. I just…Um…I just need to clear my head.” Robby said.

Tory encountered Amanda on her way back to the arena.

“I…Uh…Guess it all comes down to the final match.” Amanda said.

“Yeah. I have to get back in there.” Tory tried to walk away, but Amanda stopped her.

“I…Uh…Spoke to Dr. Hillier. She said you've been keeping up with your appointments.” Amanda said.

“Yeah. She helped me find a volunteer to help with my mom. Thanks. I owe you for that.” Tory said.

“Well, then you can pay me back now. By making sure Sam doesn't get hurt.” Amanda said.

“It's karate. How can I promise...” Tory trailed off.

“I'm not asking you to back down. I just want you to play by the rules, even if I still don't understand them.” Amanda said.

Amanda gestured to the door. “Okay, I'm going to go out there and root for my daughter, but what I'm really rooting for is that this fight finally puts an end to all this bullshit between you two.”

Amanda walked away.

Mitch was talking to Devon. “My money's on Sam.”

“I don't know. Nichols is on the warpath.” Devon said.

“Johnny,” Daniel called out as he approached Johnny.

“What do you want?” Johnny asked.

“I want your help. Look, you and I may be set in our ways, but these kids…” Daniel paused. “They're still growing. They can learn from both of us and use what we teach them to create their own way. I guess I didn't want that to happen because I cared so much about honouring Mr. Miyagi's legacy, but I forgot one of his most important lessons. I was scared of the influence you were having on Sam, but I see now some of what you teach can be good sometimes. I'm sorry I didn't realize that sooner.”

“I'm sorry too. I saw you and Miguel bonding, and I freaked out. I was afraid of losing that connection. Now I'm paying the price for it. I should have just let him train with you. He would have been a stronger fighter.” Johnny said.

“Well, since it seems the water is flowing back under the bridge, what do you say we team up again?” Daniel asked.

“You want me to help Miyagi-Do win?” Johnny asked.

Daniel sighed.

“Miyagi…Fang. Uh…Just for today.” Daniel said.

“Let's do this.” Johnny responded.

Daniel and Johnny bowed to each other.

“What better way to cap off this exciting exhibition of karate than with a final match for the ages?” Daryl asked, walking down the middle of the stage. The audience cheered, making him chuckle. He turned to Cobra Kai, pointing at Tory. “Representing Cobra Kai, the Queen Cobra herself, Tory Nichols! Coached by her senseis John Kreese and Terry Silver.”

The audience cheered.

Daryl turned to Miyagi-Do, pointing at Sam. “And representing Miyagi-Do Karate, the Bonsai Badass, Samantha LaRusso! Coached by her father and sensei, two-time All Valley champion Daniel LaRusso, who I've just been informed will be joined by fellow two-time All Valley champion, Sensei Johnny Lawrence! Let’s go!”

Johnny stood next to Daniel.

The audience cheered.

“Don't worry about them. You've been fighting all your life. Now it's time for all that struggle to pay off. Use all that fire inside you.” Kreese told Tory.

“Yes, Sensei.” Tory said.

Tory was about to step onto the mat, but Robby stopped her.

“Hey. Good luck.” Robby said.

“Head in the game, Nichols.” Terry told Tory.

“All right, LaRusso, you ready to kick some ass?” Johnny asked Sam.

“Yes, Sensei.” Sam said.

Sam looked at Daniel. “If that's okay with my other sensei.”

“I want you to win more than anyone. Whether it's defense or offense, Miyagi-Do or Eagle Fang. I want you to be you. Just make sure you keep your anger in check out…”

Before Daniel could say “out there”, Sam hugged him.

“Uh, s-sorry. You were saying?” Sam asked.

“Go kick some Cobra Kai ass.” Daniel told Sam.

Tory touched her bruised cheek.  

“Holy shit!” Amanda yelled.

The audience cheered.

“What was that?” Daniel asked Johnny.

“A flying tornado kick.” Johnny said.

Tory walked over to Kreese and Terry. Sam stayed on the mat.  

“She’s not using Miyagi-Do. She’s being aggressive.” Tory said.

“Then you get more aggressive. I've seen what's inside you. Let it out! Come on!” Terry yelled.

Daniel turned to Sam. “Yours. Trust your instincts. Use everything you've learned from me and Sensei Lawrence. All of it.”

“Your dad's right every now and then.” Johnny said.

Sam touched her bruised eye.

Tory walked over to Kreese and Terry.

Sam walked over to Daniel and Johnny.

“Are you all right?” Daniel asked.

“She got me good, but I can still fight.” Sam said.

“She comes in like that again, give her a shot to the other eye. She can't see, she can't fight.” Terry said.

“Won't I get disqualified?” Tory asked.

“Why? She ran into your elbow. Do exactly what you just did: disguise it in a counter. Worst you'll get is another warning. Trust me, this ref will never end the match on a technicality.” Terry said.

“It was an accident. I don't need to cheat.” Tory said.

“Since when do you disobey an order?” Terry asked.

“It's not your fault.” Daniel said.

Sam looked at the Cobra Kai students before walking away.

“Sam,” Daniel mumbled.

Johnny and Sarah walked towards the exit.

Sarah had changed out of her gi. Her hair was still tied up in a high ponytail. She was wearing an unbuttoned dark blue denim jacket, a white t-shirt, dark blue denim jeans, and black low-top Converse sneakers with white laces. A black gym bag was hanging over her right shoulder.  

Johnny and Sarah heard Carmen’s voice. “Johnny.”

Johnny and Sarah turned around and saw Carmen and Rosa standing behind them.

“One of the parents saw Miguel get in an Uber.” Carmen said.

“What's an Uber?” Johnny asked.

“It's like a taxi. He left before the finals.” Carmen said.

Johnny sighed. “Shit. I'm so sorry. It's all my fault.”

“I'm sure he just wants to be alone. We're going to head home.” Carmen said.

“Okay. You guys go. Sarah and I will meet you there.” Johnny said.

“Some days, I just wish we could have a do-over.” Carmen said.

Tory walked into the arena.

Terry was talking to the referee. “I almost thought you were going to back out of our deal a few times. You know what? You played it just right. No one suspects a thing. Money will be in your account tomorrow morning.”

“Thank you, Mr. Silver.” The referee said.

Tory frowned.

Johnny drove himself and Sarah to the Cobra Kai dojo at the strip mall. They saw that it had been abandoned and put up for lease.

“What the hell?” Johnny asked.

Robby walked into the dojo.

“Robby? What's going on?” Johnny asked.

“I followed you.” Robby said.

“What happened here?” Johnny asked.

“Moving to a new location. Multiple locations, I think.” Robby said.

“You kicked ass today. Could have gone either way.” Johnny said.  

Robby spoke emotionlessly. “Yeah. Thanks.”

“Hey. It's just a match. Don't let it eat you up, trust me.” Johnny told Robby.  

“It's not that. It's this kid, Kenny. I thought I could take him under my wing. Be the mentor I wish I had when I was younger. But when I saw him today…It…Uh...” Robby paused.  

Robby’s voice was strained. “It's like looking in a mirror.”

Robby started crying. “I realized I screwed everything up. I had all this hate inside of me. For you, for Sarah, and for Miguel. And I thought I could use Cobra Kai to control that. But it just made things worse. And now it's never going to get better.”

“That's not true. You had a good thing going with LaRusso. I got in the way. Don't blame yourself. Blame me.” Johnny told Robby.

Robby wiped away his tears. “I'm sick of blaming you, Dad.”

“It's going to be all right.” Johnny said.

Robby sniffled.

“He’s right. We'll figure this out, okay?” Sarah asked.

Robby hugged Johnny and Sarah.

Terry and Kreese were at Terry’s mansion.

Terry poured himself a glass of champagne. “1998 Bollinger. Been sitting in my cellar for years, waiting for the right moment.”

“Not unlike yourself.” Kreese said.

Terry chuckled. “Touché.”

Terry poured Kreese a glass of champagne. “I’ve got to give you credit, John. You reawakened something in me. Something I forgot was there. And I'll always be grateful for it.”

Kreese raised his glass. “Told you. To Cobra Kai.”

Terry raised his glass. “The number one dojo in the Valley.”

Kreese clinked his glass against Terry’s.

Kreese took a sip of his drink.

“I’ve got to say, I'm surprised you backed off on Nichols in the finals. That's not like you.” Terry said.

“Well, what can I say? I had a moment of sympathy.” Kreese said.

“That's a first.” Terry said.

Kreese chuckled.

“You remember when you asked me what I thought your weakness was? It's Johnny Lawrence. That's what this was all about, right? It was never about us teaming up or bringing back the glory days. That was all bullshit.” Terry said.

“That’s not true.” Kreese said.

“Yes, it is, and I fell for it. You know why? Because everyone has a weakness, John, and mine is you.” Terry said.

“You think that I'm your weakness? Well, you've got it backwards, because I am your strength. I have been your strength ever since Vietnam.” Kreese said.

“Yes! There it is. I can always count on you playing the guilt card. How many times do you expect me to repay that debt before we're square?” Terry asked.

Terry and Kreese heard a siren and screeching tires.  

“What did you do?” Kreese asked.

“I'm shedding my weakness, Captain.” Terry said.

Two police officers walked up to Terry and Kreese.

The first officer spoke. “John Kreese, you're under arrest for aggravated assault and attempted murder. You have the right to remain silent.”

Terry feigned shock. “John, what did you do?”

“Hands behind your back. Come on.” The first officer pinned Kreese’s hands behind his back.

Kreese freed himself from the first officer’s grip. He elbowed them in the face.

“Hey!” The second officer yelled.

The second officer pinned Kreese’s hands behind his back.

“John, take it easy. Don't worry about a thing. I'm sure I can dig up an old friend or two to help out with Cobra Kai while you deal with your legal problems.” Terry said.

The second officer put handcuffs on Kreese.

“You're going to regret this. I am Cobra Kai,” Kreese growled.

“Put him in the car!” The first officer yelled.

“Move!” The second officer yelled as he started dragging Kreese to a police car.

“And don't worry about Johnny Lawrence. I'll take good care of him and his daughter.” Terry said.

Terry chuckled before taking a sip of his drink.  

Johnny and Sarah arrived at their apartment complex. They heard Carmen speaking to Rosa in Spanish.

Johnny and Sarah walked into the Diaz family’s apartment.

“What's going on?” Johnny asked.

“Show him the note.” Carmen told Rosa.

Rosa handed Johnny the note Miguel wrote.

Johnny stood close enough to Sarah that both of them would be able to read the note.  

Mom, I'm sorry for leaving a note like this, but I thought it was the best way, maybe the only way, to say what I have to say. The last few months have been a roller coaster. My injury, rehab, me and Sam, Sensei and Mr. LaRusso. I convinced myself that I could get over all of that by focusing on the tournament. I thought that if I won that everything would work out. But I was wrong. Tell Sensei and Sarah that I'm sorry I bailed. Their karate helped me grow, but I'm still not sure who I want to be. And to figure that out, I think I need to know where I came from. Sensei was scared to find out the truth about his past, and honestly, I am too. But overcoming that fear is the fight I have to face instead of competing for a trophy. I need to meet my father. This is something I have to do. Please try not to worry. I'll be safe, and I'll be back soon. I love you, Mom. And Yaya too.

Carmen was on the verge of tears. “I called the police. I-I don't know what else to do.”

“Everything's going to be fine. I'm going to find him. I'll make sure he's safe.” Johnny said.

Carmen inhaled. “Johnny, there’s something I didn't tell you about my ex-husband.”

“I know. You said he's a bad dude. Don't worry. I can handle myself. And I'm sure he'd never hurt his own son.” Johnny said.

“That's just it. He doesn't know Miguel exists.” Carmen said.

Carmen started crying. “I just want my baby back home safe.”

Johnny hugged Carmen.

“I'll make sure of it, all right? I promise.” Johnny said.

Daniel and Chozen were visiting Mr. Miyagi’s grave.

Daniel was on his knees.

Chozen was standing a few inches away from Daniel.

“I did everything I thought was right. I followed all of the Miyagi-Do teachings. I even put aside my rivalry and teamed up with Johnny. None of it worked. Now I'm supposed to give up my dojo and step down as a sensei, but there's too much at stake to honour an agreement made with men who have none. If Cobra Kai is going to keep growing and getting stronger, I need to do whatever it takes to stop them, even if that means going on offense.” Daniel said.

Daniel stood up and looked at Chozen.

“I know this isn't your fight and this is a lot to ask, but will you help me finally put an end to Cobra Kai?” Daniel asked.

Chozen walked over to Daniel. “Osu.”

Osu, pronounced “oss”, was a commonly used term in karate. It was a grunt of agreement with militaristic overtones.

Daniel and Chozen bowed to Mr. Miyagi’s grave.

Lettera di ringraziamento. 💌 Ciao a tutti, Questa settimana uscirà il mio primo EP, “LE COSE PIU’ CARE”. È stato un viaggio pazzesco ed altalenante, come la mia vita che ho voluto raccontare in queste canzoni. Questo lavoro è il risultato di tantissimi brani scartati, di parole cancellate e di volontà forse invisibili che nessuno saprà mai. Voglio ringraziare la mia famiglia per non avermi mai tarpato le ali, in particolare mio papà per il sostegno. Un grazie speciale alla mia squadra: @albertorapettimusic , produttore ed amico di fiducia, e @iam.rian_ , mio “sensei” che mi ha aiutato nella scrittura di questi brani. Un ringraziamento anche a @mimientropy , la mia migliore amica, che non ha esitato ad aiutarmi per la parte grafica ed artistica. Grazie mille anche a @nicolocaloii , mio amico d’infanzia che ha “rifinito” il progetto. Ringrazio voi, in particolare quelli che mi hanno sempre sostenuto e che terrò sempre nel mio cuore. Ringrazio la musica, mia compagna di vita e per la quale provo qualcosa di inesprimibile a parole. Infine un grande grazie lo devo a me stesso, per non aver mai mollato anche quando sembrava normale farlo. Spero che questa “raccolta” possa essere la prima di molte e che vi possa piacere. ”Mi sento più forte e mi luccica dentro l’estate” TOX 🎨 Artwork: @nicolocaloii #TOX #2k22 #thankyou #music #lcpcep #reachyourdream #makeithappen (at Verona, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdnkmaBqJlU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A letter from Tsuna's stage actor on Twitter:

As stated in the official announcement, the Osaka shows for Katekyo Hitman Reborn! The Stage -episode of Future- Part 2 have been canceled. Many people had worked their hardest up until this decision was made. I sincerely apologize to those looking forward to the shows. Personally, I feel heartbroken to part with the role I've been playing for so long in this manner.

Nevertheless, what gives me hope is how much the Tsuna within me has grown. He is no longer the No Good Tsuna from before. The Tsuna in Rebostage is surrounded by his Family now and has become a man suitable to become the Vongola 10th. That on its own makes it worth living as Tsuna up until now.

I'm sure I will still face a number of obstacles and difficulties in the future. However, each time that happens, I will keep in mind the sweat and tears I've spilled with everyone and face those difficulties with my Dying Will. I believe that is what Tsuna and the rest taught us who live in a better world.

"Kokuyo Arc", "VS Varia Part I", "VS Varia Part 1", "Secret Bullet", and "Episode of Future Part 1 & Part 2". To all those who have loved Rebostage up until now, thank you very much for all your support. To Amano-sensei, Kokubun-san, Neeko-san, and everyone else in the Rebostage Family, thank you very much for everything. Excuse my poor writing skills.

I sincerely hope I will be reborn in the minds of everyone who watched stage play DVD. Ciao ciao👋🎩

Takenaka Ryohei, Sawada Tsunayoshi's actor

Additionally, here's a post-script from his Instagram:

P.S. I was planning to take a photo with Byakuran on Closing Night T_T

Addio sensei Ashihara. 💔

E con immenso dolore e shock che vi annuncio la morte di una delle mangaka più talentuose degli ultimi vent’anni, Hinako Ashihara Le sue storie erano forti, agrodolci, delicate che ho amato fin dalla loro prima pubblicazione. Era un’autrice che faceva la differenza e il suo talento mancherà. Buon viaggio, sensei e grazie per le tue storie sempre un po’ fuori dalle righe, e delle mie emozioni ad…

Maybe Megumi would ever get to miss him because I bet if he transfered Gojo would pop there all the time to annoy/visit his two favorite Kyoto people? 😂

Megumi would probably just realize that there is no way to escape and came back bc he misses everyone.

We were really robbed of interactions between Tokyo students and Utahime! I bet when they first saw her, they were like "so this is how is to have a normal teacher huh? Wild".

I feel the second years and Nobara/Megumi would love to show favoritism to her just so they could tease Gojo lol - Maybe give her a best sensei mug? (Which would be promptly stolen by Gojo on one of his visit 😂)

Gojo giving favoring Yuji since we was the only student who didn't betrayed him 🤣

Also I feel Utahime would work well with Panda - probably knew him since he was a kid. And Nobara and Maki - she has common sense which I think they would appreciate.

Todo and Gojo interaction would be so interesting! I would love to see that! Also Todo asking Gojo type and because he is smart just realizing who he is referring to and all Kyoto Student are like "oh that man is just pitiful" 🤣 (yes, I am using my shipping googled rn lol)

And yeah Megumi and Utahime would go really well together! Their personalities match each other, they both know how to handle with hyperactive person's. Maybe Utahime knows him since he is a child? (I mean, Gojo wasn't hiding him) and maybe he just calls her to ask questions or tell things about his day when he has no one to talk? (She would probably be the most stable and easy to talk adult in his life)

Hahaha fair - Gojo would probably be visiting all the time, he’d miss his son too much! (Is this how he finally gets Utahime to go out with him? Disguise it as co-parenting meetings? PROBABLY. He’d be like “Utahime!! We have to meet so I can tell you all about Megumi’s food allergies!!” and then when she meets with him, he’d be like “he gets sick when he eats undercooked chicken!! anyway! let’s get dinner!! I know a place that cooks chicken all the way through!!”) 

AND YES, the students giving Utahime #1 teacher mugs/t-shirts/appreciation gifts??? SIGN ME UP. Gojo would be so BUTTHURT about it, omg he’d turn into such a brat (well, more than he already is lol). Like, he’d probably try being reeeeeal nice to the Kyoto students to make the Tokyo students jealous?? and then, when that doesn’t work, he’d PLAY HARD TO GET WITH HIS OWN STUDENTS. Like, “oh? you want to train with me? hmm.. idk if I can fit you into my schedule, I’m soOoOo busy these days. I’ll have to let you know, sorry, ciao ciao, Megumi.” Yuuji would be the only person he teaches and then Nobara and Megumi would rat Gojo out to Principal Yaga and Gojo would get put in another headlock like the clown he is 🤡🤡🤡 damn, do NOT give me anymore ideas, anon, or else I WILL write this fic 😱

Utahime probably knew Panda and Megumi when they were young, you’re right - though I imagine how much interaction she had with them when they were growing up. I feel like Shoko was probably the one to have more of a role in their lives since Utahime lives farther away. But I can totally see Utahime trying to be a good example on Megumi once she hears about his situation (she probably feared that he’d end up being a mini Gojo, which is - and I cannot stress this enough - the worst case scenario lmao). I wonder how much the sorcerer adults knew of Megumi’s sister. Like, correct me if I’m wrong, but she can’t see curses, right? Like, I’m sure she knows about them through Megumi, but is she able to see them? If she can’t, then I wonder what her relationship was with Gojo and the other adults at the school. 

Gojo and Todo going on a mission together, or even just hanging out, would be absolutely chaotic and I NEED to see it. Like, I cannot even fathom wtf they’d even do - they are both so hated by the other characters for being annoying, so I feel like both of their personalities would be amplified x10 when mixed together? idk, but i neeeeed it.

How you met with more Haikyuu characters:

SFW || Fluff || Haikyuu x reader various

Characters included: Kiyoko Yachi -Requests are always welcome-

-This will be my last “how you met” oneshot seeing as I will make more different x reader scenarios-

Hitoka Yachi:

“OMG IS THAT (L/N)??” someone asked, walking out of the gym while you were in your volleyball uniform.

People surrounded you as if you were a celebrity, people made space for you as you walked, everyone breathing out “Oohs” and “Aahs” every time you made a simple move

“YES THAT”S HER, SHE’S SUCH AN AWESOME VOLLEYBALL PLAYER” A girl said dreamily. 

“She’s so hot too, by the way” several boys said while you were going to the bathroom to change your clothes.

A small blonde haired girl watches you get out of the restroom with regular school uniform clothes, you made irritated glances at people who tried to walk inside the restroom you walked in and then they made their cue to leave. “Excuse me” the small blonde haired girl said, running up to you. “Are you (L/N?)”  “Yes” you said. Who are y-” “HELLO, I AM HITOKA YACHI FROM A MANAGER FROM THE BOY’S VOLLEYBALL TEAM CAN YOU PLEASE PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTIONS I’M REALLY CURIOUS AND INTERESTED” she blurted out.

“Hmm.. interested in what?” you asked, tilting your head.

“In how you’ve done it all, you were an awesome volleyball player, almost everyone in the school knows you, you can pass and serve and spike so dang well everyone talks about it often and you always win the girl’s volleyball team for Karasuno, please tell me how you done it” She said, so fast, but not that fast enough for you to not catch whatever she’s saying.

you think her curiosity, interest and her little jumpy attitude is adorable you laughed and patted her head.

“I practice, Yachi-san, you have to practice really hard enough if you want to reach your goal, I practice at home about 1-3 hours a day. and seeing that I have a really strict coach that helps as well” you said carefully and gently.

“Wow” Yachi said, her eyes going bigger with amazement, you think it’s adorable and giggled.

“(L/N), please call me Hitoka next time, seeing as we’re friends now” she said, joyfully.

“Aww oki!” you said, patting her head. “You can call me (Y/N) too, if that’s so” you said, she smiled at you and skipped off.

“See you next time (Y/N)-chan-sensei!” Hitoka called out, waving at you cheerfully and smiling, you gave a little giggle. “See you next time, Hitoka!” You called back cheerfully and waved.

Kiyoko Shimizu: 

“Oh, crap” you said, you were late for school and then it started to rain.  “MOM, I’M GOING TO SCHOOL NOW” you called from downstairs.

“Okay sweetie, good luck” You’re mom called from upstairs “Remember your classroom assigned to you, okay? 3rd year class 2!” 

“Yes mom!” you called again from downstairs.

You suddenly started to ran outside your house, running as fast as you can once it started to rain.

luckily enough the rain wasn’t heavy, but either way you still haven’t bought an umbrella, small droplets of rain started to glisten the pavement and your ankle gets splashed each time you run.

“Shoot, no please no” you breathed out, 

You’re already at the front of the Karasuno building, you checked your watch and you’re only five minutes late.

“Okay, I’m sort of lucky if I’m not that late then..” you said to yourself.

You’re mildly wet and you got your hairdo a little ruined, but none of those was a big deal to you, except being five minutes late to your first day of school is..

You went into your classroom assigned to you

“What did my mom say again?” you asked yourself, walking down the hallway, “Oh right, 3rd year class 2..”

You spotted for the classroom with the same labelled plate number and you knocked first before entering.

“Ms. (L/N), you’re VERY late, luckily we’re just about to introduce ourselves, you do it first since you’re late” Your teacher says.

“Yes Ma’am” you said, going to the front of the classroom. 

“Hello everyone, I’m (Y/N)(L/N) and I’m a human with two eyes and two legs, obviously. also I hope we can be friends and stuff I guess..” You said, introducing yourself. 

“Ms. (L/N), sit at the empty chair beside Ms. Shimizu by the window if you please, the pretty girl with black hair” your teacher says, pointing at her.

the black haired girl started having tinted pink cheeks as you were walking towards her and sitting at your chair.

She put her hair behind her ear, looked at you for a bit and smiled.  “Ms. Shimizu, you’re next on the list, please introduce yourself” Your teacher said, pointing at her again.

The black haired girl pushed her glasses to her nose and cleared her throat.

“Hello everyone, I’m Kiyoko Shimizu, only my friends call me that and I hope we can be friends” she said timidly.

“That’s nice Ms. Shimizu, you can go back to your seat now” your teacher said, pointing at her chair beside you.

she went back to her chair and shyly sat down.

“Kiyoko, huh?” you said in a low voice only the both of you can hear. 

“Yes” Kiyoko, the black haired girl said, smiling at you.

you smiled back, both of you smiled and then looked away shyly from each other for a little while.

“(Y/N), mind if I call you that?” Kiyoko asked politely.

“Not at all, Ms. Shimizu” you said, copying your teacher’s voice.

both of you laughed at your little joke and then start blushing.

You made a new friend at your first day of school

or, is it just friends..?

This is just a post of me vaguely gesturing at things 87, 03, and 12 Leo has done with his “I don’t even know how to describe but I know it’s not smart” energy

‘Hey guys I'm gonna check out an alien sighting meet up place alone and not bother to at the very least take a disguise with me’

Spent entire nights in an arcade to beat one game he just *had* to beat the game and risked being discovered.

*Get's lost and doesn't have his fam there with him, Screams and gets more lost* ((This poor guy gets lost so much in 87 it’s pretty sad, directionally challenged and gets tunnel vision))

I mean sure he once got hit by a personality altering ray to make him more fun but that doesn’t change the fact that he deada** left a note to his fam that said "Ciao babies I'm off to have a good time.   L" and that’s a whole mood

Mr. how can I find some way to solve my problems by using or throwing my katana in some way or form

87 Leo had memory issues and no one can tell me otherwise, there was even an episode that addressed the boys neglecting parts of taking care of themselves and like Donnie with his eyesight, Mikey with his ungodly amount of eating, I think Raph with some form of laziness? and I’m pretty sure Leo didn’t really get told anything; anyways so they see themselves in the future and their neglect turned into major issues in their old age and yeah Leo was so upset that he “... turned into a befuddled old coot” so yeah the universe just looked at blue boi and said lol yeah sorry bro

'I can avoid questions and situations by asking other questions and using kindness'

Threw lipsticks on a toaster painting for target practice

His turtle com voice mail at one point was: :D "Hi, this is Leonardo, I can't answer the turtle com right now, I'm off on a nightmare adventure from which I may never return." :D

Oop there goes the steering wheel ((This also happens more than once when he drives))

Got over his fear of snakes out of pure spite cuz two kids called him a coward and a snake man said snakes were better than turtles

“Ok, it’s not regular mail. I guess Mikey would call it *mimickes Mikey’s voice* Air Mail.”

Susceptible to peer pressure

He totally practices his hero lines

‘Lol a snake can’t fight! no hands or legs! *OOF*..... the risk I took was calculated but man am I bad at math‘

'Guys this sounds like a bad ide-' 'SHADDUP LEO'

Started a fight with Raph because "GIVE IT BACK!"

“YIKES! Excuse me sensei” because yes Leo, saving your dad from getting hit by a vehicle could possibly inconvenience him.

Kissed not one, but two plungers before realizing to his horror that yes he just kissed two plungers.

*Threw one of the biggest kiddie temper tantrums I have ever seen in a cartoon* like no lie he was on the floor and everything.

Mikey: Look, a glitch!  Leo: Beg your pardon? (Thought Mikey said b***h, or that he may have called him or Donnie one, I dunno but it happened.) 

His sport equipment of choice was a frigging scooter, nuff said.

'I AM SULKING AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT'

Talks to himself a lot and I respect that

'I am a failure and should not exist.'

He tries pretty hard to look cool.

Pouty frowny mc’pouter boi when he’s either annoyed or not amused or embarrassed

Reprimanded his brothers about silence then proceeded to fall off a roof and make all the noise in the world.

Leo: What’s going on? Donnie: I’m having the weirdest dream. Leo: You can’t be dreaming,*I’m* here. Donnie: CUZ I’M DREAMING YOU! (｀Д´) Leo: (¬､¬) *Maybe I’m dreaming you but you’re not dreaming me* ( ｰ`дｰ´) Donnie: (¬_¬)

"Halt villain!" holy stars he’s such a geek.

"Just like space heroes!" Leo’s relationship with this old cartoon in general. You legit just put the show on and he is just glued to it, he knows the lines, the scenes, just everything and tries to incorporate it in his everyday life and even missions.

A little girl told him about pinkies up when drinking tea ONCE and now it’s a mandatory practice.

He walked up to a seemingly harmless creature, said "mop mop" to mimic it then poked the thing and got his butt kicked; and this was AFTER he said “New rule no one touch anything.”

“You have a pineapple for a head!” *Looks and sounds shocked at the fact that he’s hallucinating Donnie’s head indeed being a pineapple but not as shocked as one would think*

*Mimics the weird Krang talk and makes a ‘Heh heh I am so funny’ face* ‘Hmm? Oh sorry, anyway-’

“Window cleaner on! Window cleaner off”

This blue dummy thought it was a good idea to hit on some random lady on a completely different hostile planet

The idea or even concept of him having shellacne just seems to offend him

“WE YOKAI WILL STEAL ALL OF YOUR SOULS, THROUGH YOUR BUTT!!! MWUA HA HA!!” ((I can just hear Donnie thinking “It’s important to be accurate” while his brother said that))

Bruh, I swear Leo seems like he lives in a constant state of dissociation like at least 87% of the time, like he’s there enough to where he can answer to people and take actions but he’s not entirely there. 

Tried to catch toast with a plate ((Never ask 2012 Leo, Raph, and Donnie to make breakfast together it’s just gonna end poorly))

And this isn’t even covering everything there is so much more but this post is already long enough.

Art tribute to Takao Saito creator of Golgo 13 who recently passed away and the process behind it for those interested.

Images(top to bottom):

1-2 Le Blanc page: The blank page. Teacher, mother, secret lover, to all who step in front this ethereal portal into the realm of imagination. The paper is 9x12"(22.8x30.4cm) Borden and Riley's #120 Bristol Plate(Smooth).

3-4 Pencils: Pencil sketch with a Mitsubishi hi-uni 4h pencil. This is in part because ya boy can be a bit heavy handed in the drawing stage and this light a pencil helps building a lighter touch. The drawing is informed by reference from images of Saito-sensei's manga art. Also Sumo Grip eraser was also used to erase.

5-6 INKS: The easiest part(?) Well, certainly the most satisfying part anyway The Inks! This step was done with a Lamy Joy Calligraphy pen, with a 1.1 nib, and Speedball Super Black India Ink.

7-8 COLORS: The colors were applied from light to dark. Alcohol markers, and some watercolor for the background were used. Copic markers:

•Skin:

E00 Cotton Pearl

E11 Barley Beige

E15 Dark Suntan

•Gun, back of suit

W1 Warm Grey No. 1(ciao)

W3 Warm Grey No. 3

W5 Warm Grey No. 5

W7 Warm Grey No. 7(ciao)

Watercolor: yellow, yellow orche, orange

9-10 SUPPLIES: This is a photo of all the things I used to do this drawing(only the hi-uni 4h pencil is missing). I know Copics can be really pricey, but the refills do help decrease the cost(and waste) long term as you can refill 5-7 times even if you use markers regularly. Also Scrapbookpals.com is the cheapest, and fastest shipping, Ive seen when it comes to Copics and their selection is top marks.

Hope this was helpful in some way to whomever comes across this post. Happy drawing!

Giapponesi in a nutshell:

• giapponese sconosciut* a cui dici "ciao, come stai?" in giapponese - risposta:"WA MA SEI BRAVISSIM* IN GIAPPONESEEEEEE"

• tua vecchia lettrice giapponese che è una studentessa come te e con cui ora hai più un rapporto lavorativo che istituzionale:"Perché mi hai scritto SAN e non SENSEI? È stato un po' scostumato da parte tua...."

日本語学習者は未知な日本人に:「こんにちは、私はロッセッラです」

「うおー、日本語上手ですねー！！」

同じ大学で勉強して、2年前に日本語を教えてくれて、現在インターンで翻訳する物を訂正してくれる日本人の女の子:「どうして先のメールに「•••さん」と書いてたんですか。「先生」だったからずっと先生だよ。それを読んだ時にちょっと失礼だと思った。」

私😱😱😱:「本当にごめんなさい！！！」

#その行動の差には本当にビックリした #もちろん、先生が分かったけどね #日本語 #日本語学習者 #giapponese #per farvi capire quanto le relazioni interpersonali giapponesi siano una rottura di coglioni #ti prendi un poco di confidenza e diventi una scostumata #giapponesi
