aaaaaaaaaaaand bam!!!!!!! here it is the final day!!!!!!!!!!! day 18!!!!!!!!! it’s time to break the wall y’all and wrap this up!!!! can you feel it??? i can feel it!!!!

First impressions: me: *looking at the newsletter from a jp anime goods site*

me: *sees ichiro for the very first time unknowing that this was the start* oh that’s a cute piece of merch!!!!! who’s the guy on it i wonder???? 😲

Current impressions: does ichiro know that i would kill for him. it is important for me to know that ichiro knows i will do anything for him—

man, ichiro randomly popped into my life when i needed him the most; i was really tired from the the previous couple of fandoms i’d been in, looking for a new one unconsciously when he showed up in my email, hugging a cd and utterly adorable with his big heterochromatic eyes. i wish i had a pic of the merch on hand ‘cause it was love at first sight man 💕 and he continues to be an utter delight to know!!!!! he’s the 19 entrepreneur that everyone would be writing about due to his jaded past and how successful he’s gotten all due his hard work!!!!!!!!!! i definitely understand jiro and saburo’s hero worship over him!!!!

Favorite thing:

he’s just a really cool dude man. he’s incredibly levelheaded with an equal amount of brain smarts and street smarts. but that levelheadedness is something he’s working hard to maintain. his personality is closer to samatoki’s and he knows this and wants to be better than the man who let him down and to be a good role model for his brothers with it. he’s an head full thoughts many kinda character and it shows in pretty much everything he does

Least favorite:

his seiyuu is kinda wack lol sometimes it feels like ichiro is one of those bland characters that doesn’t do anything and the surrounding characters are all totes more interesting yet are, for some reason, super into this bland character. thank god this statement is a total disservice to ichiro’s character because he’s incredibly interesting, it’s just ichiro is currently in an ‘after story’ kind of arc in his life where everything is good (for now.) it just sometimes feels like he’s being left behind in the story 😕

What i want to see from this character:

what don’t i want to see??????????????? how is he going to react seeing his father again and on the same team as his old teammate, sasara??????????? does he really know he’s been alive all this time???????? if he has, how is he going to deal with how betrayed his brothers may feel????????????? apparently he and samatoki can make up now since he knows nemu is ‘missing’ and samatoki knows that ichiro has nothing to do with her leaving him but will it really be that easy????????? will he and kuukou make up and be aikata back at again, like how is he going to react seeing kuukou again?????????

Favorite moments:

hhhhhhhhhhhh okay i’m going all in.

it’s not really a favorite moment but something that strikes me as a hindsight is 20/20 kinda thing, but ichiro fully intended to leave his little brothers out of his team and the rap battles. in the very first buster bros drama track, he gave them an assignment each, fully expecting them to fail. it comes as a surprise to him that they got it done and done so well. now, he’s been fully supportive of having his brothers be his team but it’s terribly ironic for him to get so offended when anyone insults his brothers abilities when he was the first to have doubted them.

and say ichiro has known their father’s been alive all this time. rei honestly might as well had been good as dead to them with how absent he’s been in their lives. granted, it’s definitely not something that comes up in casual conversation but with jiro and saburo having to confront ichiro pretty much twice in the course of helter skelter, it really looks like ichiro just doesn’t have faith in his brothers to outsiders and that could really blow up on him man

in our treasure trove of character tidbits called arb, when you have ichiro set as your my room mascot, he comments on his brothers who seemed to have stepped out and it’s something along the lines of:

“where is jiro? i hope he’s not getting involved with any weird people....” and “where did saburo go?? ......well, if it’s him, i think he’ll be alright.”

and if this isn’t the best example of how ichiro feels about his brothers individually lol. i’m sure ichiro is worried jiro’s trying to copy him too much and sees saburo doing things he was never capable of at his age as an inspiration but it’s interesting food for thought

and then in the stage play (*crowd boos*) has some of the best ichiro moments but i’m just going to say ichiro yelling at his brothers for being too loud with their musical number when he was the loudest one on the stage was really fcking funny 🤣

Headcanon:

i’m pretty sure this is canon at this point but ichiro is a clingy mf like once he’s decided you’re one of his peoples, then you are one of his peoples. you see it with how much of a brocon he is, you see it in the stage play when his long lost childhood friend, kazu, rolls into town and refuses to believe that kazu may be trouble, and you see it with ichiro naming his team buster(s) bros after his old team with kuukou who he still thinks about and considers a friend. (and might i add, was willing to change everything about himself in order to keep kuukou by his side and he’s the only person we see ichiro seriously crying over save for when he thought his brothers were dead after he lost the showdown battle with samatoki)

Ships:

ICHIKUU FOR LIFE!!!!!!!! ICHIKUU SUPREMACY MUST BE REINSTATED!!!!!!!!! like bro how do you have two different types of protagonists mesh as well as they do like they’re both loners with a huge amount of power but where kuukou is kinda nuts ichiro is kinda cool. kuukou is definitely ichiro’s sun but kuukou’s the one who puts himself into ichiro’s orbit like if their relationship turns out to be where if ichiro is struggling or if he’s calling and kuukou comes running, i will actually perish!!!! and then they’re both weebs!!!!! i really wanna know how this current ichiro, who’s a lot happier and not emo, and kuukou are going to mesh!!!!

lol and then ichidice is kinda cute and so is poly 19 year olds, ichiro/nemu/kuukou!! and of courses, i am heavily invested in however his and samatoki’s relationship is going to pan out

#ichiro yamada #hypmic #honestly not to keep gushing about ichikuu but the buster bros/naughty busters thing really kills me like #we call it them the buster bros!!! theyve always been the buster bros!!!#but just as that it always been the buster bros logo reads as busters bros!!!!!#ichiro cannot let kuukou go im just— *cries*#and you know thats why samatoki tossing him aside hurt he has always been there for him from the moment they worked together #and samatoki was somebody he really looked up to. told him he didnt have to suffer the way he did #and then to have the only adult he placed that much faith in betray it??? oof #ichiro places a lot of weight in his bonds and that may stem from abandonment issues #but thats something else to talk about on a later date lol

day 6 yes yes y’all it’s evil monk’s turn!!!!!!!!!!!! kuukou king!!!!!!!!! kuukou king!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First impressions: *kuukou tells a horrible tone-deaf dead mom joke to ichiro and i completely lose my sht* LMAO that was terrible and so mean why am i laughing like this— wait wait wait he’s just a side character don’t get attached don’t get attached!!!!!!!!!

Current impressions: *wearing my bat shirt and hoodie cuddling my kuukou plushies surrounded by kuukou fan merch* i swear i only like kuukou a normal amount!!!! i swear!!!!!!

now i have connected similarities to kuukou and my other hypmic oshis and other faves so i can’t be too surprised by how much i just got attached, but it still takes me for a loop that i like kuukou as much as i do!!! he’s so feral and violent and that appeals to me on a spiritual level. but he’s more level headed than most give him credit for. monks take an oath to spend their lives easing/ending human suffering, for all that they understand humans will suffer, and you can see that in how much kuukou cares about the people he’s chosen to support. he’s just got the personality of a massive brat 🤣

Favorite thing:

bruh i love kuukou to pieces but idk if i can pin down one thing i like about him. like i really vibe with how violent he is but his violence isn’t violence for violence sake. he’s obviously strong because he likes to fight but when he fights, it’s to help people out. like he has all this power and knows it, so he does what he can with it. kuukou is such an anime protagonist and the weeb embedded within me crows every time i see him lol

Least favorite:

.................i... guess i’ve never vibed with him telling jyushi men should only cry when they lose a family member. now jyushi wants to cry less and to be stronger so it’s definitely something to strive for. idk if it’s cultural tho so i don’t wanna knock it, but i don’t like how close it feels to repressing the way men express themselves

ah and i almost forgot!! bubblegum asmr!!!! i hate it!!!

What i wanna see from this character:

for ichiro and kuukou to talk to each other again......... to know how they met......... lol aside from naughty busters business, i really wanna see kuukou before he reached ascension. i wanna see bald baby kuukou what kuukou could have possibly done to learn to fight and/or how he got his strength, if there’s any special reason for it. maybe something to do with how he hates the ocean......??

Favorite moment:

when kuukou beat up kurusu ren’s bullies. the way he struck fear into the head bully made my heart go 💕💗 his radio also had some cute moments like when he picked his first mail to read and his giggle when he did!!!! 🥰

Headcanon:

he really likes kabuki plays!!! he used to bother the local kabuki actors as a child to teach him their moves and fell in love with their makeup techniques. it’s why he wears the touch of red on his bottom lash line because he had that much fun with them!!

Ships:

*deep breath* ICHIKUU!!!!!!!! ICHIRO/KUUKOU!!!!!!!!!!!! ICHIKUU SUPREMACY NAUGHTY BUSTERS FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please kr i just want them to talk ;-; i want him to interact with jiro and saburo like i’m ready for saburo to hate his guts entirely and jiro to think about tolerating him after he recommends sports jacket styles

i like nemu/ichiro/kuukou both romantically and platonically but nemu and kuukou makes me laugh because nemu only bothers tolerating her brother’s violent tendencies because he’s family. i just imagine nemu initially tolerating kuukou because he’s ichiro’s boyfriend but anytime they interact it’s like

kuukou: are you tired of being nice?? don’t you just wanna go apeshit??

nemu: boy, you make me consider violence everyday

they grow to understand each other on a deeper level as they hang out more tho lol

#kuko harai #hypmic #this is vee speaking #can you tell i love kuukou lol #like i just dumped stuff in the sections that may not even be relevant #this has been written in a haze and im afraid to look over this now that the fog has cleared lmao #so sorry if its disjointed or if theres unnecessary stuff 😅😅
