How We Know Hisagi has Seen Fast and Furious

We’ve talked about Hisagi’s mesh shirt before. But we’ve begun rewatching the Fast and Furious movies--a perfect time capsule of the best and brightest in fashion and culture, circa 2001--and have come to the conclusion that Hisagi has definitely very much seen The Fast and the Furious.

Because it can’t be seen too many times, Hisagi’s mesh shirt, which is from the ED of the Sealed Sword Frenzy OVA:

And behold, Hisagi’s fashion icon, Vince, from Fast and Furious:

Don’t get the wrong idea here. This isn’t just a mesh shirt of passing whimsy. This man spends the entire movie in three different mesh shirts. THREE DIFFERENT ONES!!

And why would Hisagi allow Side Character Vince to imprint on him so extensively? Because, dear friends, Vince has a code. When Vince disagrees with Vin Diesel, he sets off on his own, causing a schism in their happy illegal street racing family. However, he’s ultimately welcomed back into the fold and his return to the fam serves as lynchpin to the movie’s thrilling conclusion (er, sort of).

Look, if Hisagi can’t indulge in wishful thinking and project his Tousen desires onto The Fast and the Furious, when can he??

Anyway, Hisagi’s entire demeanor while in the living world is now based on Fast and Furious in order to “blend in with the locals” and appear culturally hip. Partly to hype Soul Society’s own film festival, Hisagi also tries to start a film review column in Seireitei Communications. It doesn’t catch on, though, because he kept trying to review movies from the living world that nobody had seen and most of his readership has no ability to see. But SS’s own film offerings are slim pickings.

Hisagi gets the motorcycle because it’s the closest he can come to having a fast car and he secretly thought Johnny Tran was kinda cool.

He’s also ended up completely obsessed with NOS.

One day, he went to 12th to talk to Akon about making an SS version of NOS for his bike. He brings a copy of The Fast and the Furious so they can watch it together and Hisagi can explain what it is he wants.

"It’s like shunpo but…for machines."

Bonus Akon headcanon: Unbeknownst to Hisagi, Akon has actually already seen all the Fast movies. Akon has watched a lot of movies. He can Limewire like a pro and he’s actually kind of a film buff. Not a big fan of Fast, though--he’s convinced that every genre those films hit has been done better by a different movie.

Akon will watch just about anything, but his personal tastes tend toward the classics. His favorites are 愛のコリーダ (Corrida of Love), Touch of Evil, Hiroshima Mon Amour, and anything by Abbas Kiarostami.

#hisagi shuuhei #akon #bleach headcanons #bleach doodle #the fast and the furious #when Tokyo Drift came out Hisagi did one of those film location pilgrimages and said it was for 'work'#he also becomes enamored with drifting and is said that he can't do it on his bike #*sad #but at least he got Akon to formulate him some NOS so he can live his life a quarter mile at a time
