TELLING THE BNHA BOYS YOU WANT TO SIT ON THEIR FACE | hcs + drabble

navi | masterlist | taglist

thank you to anon for this request <3

characters ♡ kaminari, bakugo, sero & tamaki

content warning ♡ sexual references, fem!reader, all aged up! - minors dni

denki kaminari

♡ it depends how confidently you say it

♡ if you’re clearly embarrassed, he’ll be too

♡ but if you own your statement, it’ll prompt him to be more self-assured and forward

♡ so he’ll either by completely red in the face and tell you to stop messing with him, or his lips will curl into a suggestive smirk as he encourages to act on your claim

♡ also if you’re not really the type of person who talks about sexual acts too often or casually, he’ll pop a hard-on

♥　♡　♥　♡　♥　♡　♥

he was lazily sprawled out across the two-seated couch, his legs lay were you were going to sit and it took every bone in your body to resist the urge to just yank his legs away yourself, since you had been training all day so your legs were in agony, all you wanted to do was sit down and relax. but he prevented you from doing that, so you finally spoke up, “denki, could you move your legs, please?”

kaminari looked up from his phone to see you pouting, bags in hand as you waited for him to let you take a seat. he was feeling especially mischievous today so instead of just retracting his legs like he usually would, he shrugged and hummed, “eh, no. the floor looks comfy though. maybe try that.”

you scoffed, dropping your bags and hastily wrapping your hands around his ankles before aggressively tugging on them, “move it! you’re stupid fucking face looks comfy!”

he froze, staring at you with wide eyes but you continued to pull at his legs as you had yet to process what you just said as you meant in more as trash-talk rather in a sexual way.

suddenly, he flipped his position so he way now laying down on his back, his head resting on the seat you were trying to obtain as he stared up at you with starry eyes, “sit, then!”

katsuki bakugo

♡ goes red in embarrassment, anger and horny

♡ at first he yells about how immature you are but then his mindless threats begin to turn more..erotic?

♡ he’s like ‘fucking do it then! sit on my face! i fucking dare you! don’t be a pussy! do it!’

♡ and you kinda just stand there like ??? is he being serious ???

♡ he was being dead serious

♡ he can’t have anyone knowing that he wants you but he does want you so he shows it through anger and hopes that you are aroused rather than frightened

♥　♡　♥　♡　♥　♡　♥

you walked into the theatre by bakugo’s side, not as his date or anything - definitely not - but because he had ‘accidentally’ bought an extra ticket for a movie that you had been talking to your co-workers at the agency about and now that you thought about it, you recalled that bakugo was in ear-shot of the conversation while he was making his coffee in the lounge.

anyway, the movie had yet to begin but most who were seated remained silent as they watched the trailers. he glanced at you before shifting his gaze onto all the rows of seats in front of y’all, “where do ya want to sit?” he mumbled, casually popping a piece of popcorn into his mouth.

he simply asked just in case you had a preferred location or an eye-sight problem that he was unaware of so you almost made him choke on his corn when you replied with a click of your tongue, “your face.”

once he coughed up the kernel lodged in this esophagus, he turned to shoot you a deadly glare, “what the fuck?!”

afraid that you might have made him uncomfortable, you threw you hands up in defence and hastily tried to change the subject before he created a scene in the middle of the silent theatre, “sorry! i just meant it as a joke- erm, sitting at the back would be nic--”

before you could finish, bakugo grabbed you by the collar and dragged you out of the room, towards the cinema bathroom and..you know what happens next.

hanta sero

♡ probably incited you to say it lol

♡ he’s like ‘aight bet’

♡ you should know better than to try tease this man bc he is going to make you follow up

♡ not forcefully, but he becomes so racy that it’s hard for you to not just..take a seat :)

♡ he doesn’t get flustered bc he’s too cool for that (⌐■_■)

♡ also he’s horny asf all the time so even if he’s literally never talked to you before, he’ll immediately be escorting you to an area where y’all can be in private

♡ after he’s made you cum for like the fifth time he’ll be like ‘so what’s your name? :)’

♥　♡　♥　♡　♥　♡　♥

friendly banter was something you should’ve learned to avoid. from when bakugo chased you around the school after you made a comment about deku being number one, to when iida gave you a 20 minute lecture when he heard you joke about skipping class - jesting with your friends never ended well for you so why did you think today was any exception?

though those things were in past, you had moved on; you had gotten a fresh new job at a new agency along with an old classmate of yours who you’ve since gotten closer to - pro-hero cellophane.

you were casually chatting to him in the break-room, making friendly conversation with him as you had deduced that your bad luck with banter was exact that, bad luck - hardly anything that can’t be avoided, or so you thought.

“exactly!” sero nodded, agreeing with the comment you made on internships, “my mentor kept making me go on these elaborate missions with them but seriously, i was just there to get a recommendation letter, save some people, have a hot hero-girl sit on my face then dip, y’know?”

you chuckled, prompting him to continue, “well, did it work?”

“i got my recommendation letter but unfortunately, no hot hero-girls sat on my face.” he explained, he taking a sip of his coffee before eyeing you, his frown slowly curling into a titillating smirk, “you could change that, though.”

your eyes widened, but you were somewhat mentally prepared for him to say that so you were quick to blurt out, “yes please.”

tamaki amajiki

♡ he doesn’t get what you mean at first-

♡ like he thought it was a threat..or maybe you were making fun of him

♡ you, mirio or nejire have to explain to him what it means

♡ then he passes away ⚰

♡ like mans is blushing so hard

♡ he can’t look you in the eye for 3 months after that

♡ it’s not that you made him uncomfortable or anything, he just gets like that around the subject of intercourse

♡ if he ever starts talking to you again, you know better than to ever make a dirty joke around him again

♡ but when y’all start dating - maybe a year into the relationship - he’ll randomly turn to you one day and be like ‘remember that joke you made over a year ago about sitting on my face? yeah, that one. do you think you could maybe like..do it? like right now, please? 👉👈’

♥　♡　♥　♡　♥　♡　♥

you sat on the bed beside tamaki, absentmindedly scrolling through your phone as he played animal crossing next to you, on his switch. you were looking through pinterest for date ideas as your one year anniversary with tamaki was fast approaching and you wanted it to be special.

you opened a picture of a couple at the arcade, looking as though they were having a fun time so your natural instinct was to ask tamaki i he was down, “baby, what do you think about the arca--”

“(y/n).” he interjected with a shakily, “um, remember that time we partnered up for a chemistry project?”

you giggled, no clue as to where he was going with this but humming along, none the less, “yep, i do! that was a while ago though, tama.”

amajiki nodded, awkwardly averting his gaze, his cheeks visibly flushing red as he recalled the events that happened - he couldn’t believe he was bringing this up again, after he tried for so long suppress the memory. but currently, his need to hear your sweet moans overwhelmed his shyness, “do you remember the joke you made?”

you hummed in thought for a moment before it hit you. you peered at his with an eyebrow quirked, mentally questioning if you were remembering it correctly. “um, yes.”

“well, can you?”

“can i what?”

tamaki frowned, before leaning in and whispering his scandalous request - he didn’t want to say this aloud but desperate times call for desperate measures. “sit on my face.”

Yamato Nikaido [White Day] RabbitChat

“Eh? Are you giving onii-san something better than chocolate?”

Part 1-5

Part 1: Want to Get Excited?

Tsumugi: Yamato-san, good work!

A new job came in, so I’ve contacted you!

Yamato: Thanks.

If it’s around this time, is it White Day-related?

Tsumugi: Indeed!

Your appearance on a special White Day live broadcast has been decided!

Tsumugi: We will conduct a questionnaire on ways to spend White Day in advance, then film a location shoot based on the scenarios.

It’s going to be exciting content where talents watch the prerecorded video in the studio.

Yamato: Speaking of talents, are people beside us going to appear on the program?

Tsumugi: Besides IDOLiSH7, a lot of female talents, such as actresses and artists, will be on the program.

It looks like TRIGGER is also coming!

Yamato: The women group looks formidable (lol)

But, if we’re with TRIGGER, the boy group won’t be as out of place, right?

Yamato: Onii-san will comfort the kids so that they don’t get nervous.

Afterwards, I will ask Yaotome how he handles all his relationships with women (lol)

Tsumugi: Is Gaku-san skilled at those kinds of things?

Yamato: Don’t you admire him? He’s the No.1 Most Desired Embrace after all.

Manager, don’t get entangled with him (lol)

Tsumugi: That’s rude to Gaku-san! ><

Tsumugi: Lately the two of you have appeared on more programs together, so I thought you got along….

Yamato: Eh~, we’re friends. Really good friends (lol)

Tsumugi: Hmm, so is that what boys’ friendships are like…?

Yamato: That’s right.

Tsumugi: That’s fine, but…!

By the way, Yamato-san, can you answer this questionnaire about what scenario you’d like if you were to give a present to a girl you like?

Yamato: Hmm, I usually like dates at home, so for something different, I might take my date to a café with a special atmosphere.

And then, we’ll chat, and I’ll ask what she likes, and onii-san will feed her while saying, “ahh.”

Yamato: That’s the present (lol)

Tsumugi: Ohh…somehow it’s not like the other members, it’s an adult-like situation…!

Yamato: Keeping it like this is fine.

Tsumugi: As expected of IDOLiSH7’s eldest and leader!

I think the audience will surely get excited at this mature response…!

Yamato: Are you also excited?

Tsumugi: Well, I think I would be, but….

Yamato: Then, let’s go to a café with an adult-like atmosphere next time.

Tsumugi: Geez! What kind of place is an adult-like café anyway?!!

Yamato:

Yamato: Since you make those kinds of reactions, manager, I want to tease you.

Yamato: See, because onii-san is an S.

Tsumugi:

Tsumugi: Even if it’s Yamato-san, I de—-finitely won’t get excited!!

Yamato: The way you said that…. Onii-san is lonely….

Tsumugi: I’ll do it again!!

Yamato:

Part 2: Yamato’s Concern

Tsumugi: Yamato-san, thank you for your work.

Can I meet you in front of the studio?

I think I can meet you from here but….

Yamato: Understood. Then, I’ll leave the studio in a bit.

Yamato: The filming location is a café like I answered in the questionnaire.

Tsumugi: Lately its name often appears in magazines, and it seems like a popular café!

Yamato: I thought I’d just be filming in the studio, in an authentic-looking set.

Tsumugi: It looks like they’re spending a lot of effort on the special program this time!

Yamato: Using a proper café feels more realistic, huh?

Yamato: Come to think of it, about today’s filming location, the other day Mitsu said he wanted to go to the café.

Tsumugi: Is that so?

Yamato: It looks like the department store is famous, and thanks to the atmosphere of the shops, it attracts both men and women.

There you can look at and eat the cakes there.

Tsumugi: I see…!

Actually, I heard that you can get a discount at the café since it is being advertised!

Yamato: Really. Then, are you going to give Mitsu a discount?

Tsumugi: Let’s do it, he’ll surely be pleased!

Yamato: By the way, who is driving today?

Manager? Banri-san?

Tsumugi: Banri-san left on another matter, so I am the driver!

Yamato: Got it. Then, when you get here, I will switch with you.

Tsumugi: I know the directions, so it’s fine?

Yamato: No, that’s not it.

You also gave me a ride yesterday, and you pick me up late at night every day. Aren’t you tired, manager?

Yamato: This time let me do the gentlemanly thing.

Tsumugi: That’s…!

Yamato-san, you have filming though! ><

Yamato: I’m strong. You can depend on me.

Tsumugi: Yamato-san….

Option 1

Tsumugi: Thank you!

Yamato: There, there. Onii-san likes your straightforwardness.

Option 2

Tsumugi: Thank you for your help!

Yamato: At times like these I’m glad I can make you smile.

Option 3

Tsumugi: Aren’t you tired?

Yamato: If I was tired I wouldn’t have made such a suggestion

Tsumugi: Well…, I’m really grateful, but Yamato-san has spoiled me too much…!

Yamato: Yeah, all right.

Then are you going to sleep in the back?

Tsumugi: No no no, I’m sitting next to you and telling you directions…!

But, I’m definitely the one to drive us back!

Yamato: Yeah, yeah.

Tsumugi: I’m definitely, definitely doing it!

Yamato: Yeah, yeah.

Tsumugi: Yamato-san, you’re generally mean, but you show your kindness at times like this. So this is the realm of adults….

I’ll quickly grow up so that I can spoil Yamato-san!

Yamato: I always get spoiled by you.

After filming, I’ll be tired, so at that time I’ll receive your comfort, manager.

Part 3: Big White Day Operation

Tsumugi: Yamato-san, the live broadcast is tomorrow!

We’re running according to the schedule I told you earlier, so I look forward to working with you tomorrow.

Yamato: Even though a girl’s heart-pounding surprise happened earlier, you’re contacting me like business as usual huh?

Tsumugi:

Tsumugi: Even though I wasn’t thinking about it…! You suddenly held my hand, Yamato-san!

Yamato: Were you surprised?

Tsumugi: Of course…!

But, it was a mission from Nagi-san?

Yamato: Yeah. It looks like Nagi was playing a game while we were filming.

“It’s the long-awaited White Day, so let’s all do something thrilling for manager!” he said excitedly.

Yamato: Onii-san also participated.

Tsumugi: So Yamato-san’s mission was “holding hands”..

Yamato: Holding hands with a cute girl like manager was unexpectedly nerve-wracking (lol)

If I had a kabedon mission like Mitsu’s, I’d be unexpectedly composed though.

Tsumugi: When Mitsuki-san did the kabedon, Yamato-san prepared a bench, and without realizing it, Mitsuki-san went along with the joke! lol

Yamato: I was trying to be kind though.

Tsumugi: Actually, you were heartless there…!

Yamato: Well that’s how it is, Tsumugi.

Us men are working hard for your sake, aren’t we?

Tsumugi: Ah, calling me without honorifics was one of Nagi’s missions too, right?

Tsumugi: Usually everyone calls me manager, so I’m not used to it…!

Yamato: Will you also do it to me? Calling me Yamato.

Tsumugi: Umm….

Option 1

Tsumugi: Removing “-san” is my limit!

Yamato: You won’t call me directly? Hey, show me.

Option 2

Tsumugi: It’s embarrassing!

Yamato: You only have to remove the –san. Hey, show me.

Option 3

Tsumugi: Give me some time!

Yamato: Then, onii-san will wait until you do it.

Tsumugi: Forgive me…!

Yamato!

Tsumugi:

Yamato: Woah! You did it (lol)

Tsumugi: Jeezzzzzzz….. This is the first and last time!

Yamato: Even though it’s White Day, I was the one more excited (lol)

Yamato: I received your energy, so I’ll do my best on the live broadcast. See you tomorrow.

Part 4: Scenario Planning

Tsumugi: Yamato-san, good work on the special White Day program recording!

Everyone can relax now, thank you…!

Yamato: Well, that’s onii-san’s job.

Yamato: But, the MVP was Mitsu as the MC, he made the atmosphere on set good.

There were a lot of female talents but he wasn’t shy, since he said he has experience with having a lot of female friends.

Tsumugi: As expected of Mitsuki-san, the female talents were also really excited during the program!

Tsumugi: Speaking of excitement, you spoke on the phone with fans!

I thought it was amazing that Yamato-san could instantaneously perform the famous lines from Nemesis!

Yamato: It looks like a lot of fans like the main character’s line, “If you’re…by my side…dying isn’t so bad…” (lol)

Tsumugi: The caller said that they became Yamato-san’s fan after watching the Nemesis drama!

Yamato: Even though it was a live broadcast, the moment the caller said they were a fan of Nemesis, “GOOD NIGHT AWESOME” started playing.

Yamato: Was that supposed to happen?

Tsumugi: It was a big fan service moment! Yamato-san took part in it, and the staff also seemed happy!

Tsumugi: It seems various things were prepared in advance!

Yamato: The staff’s preparation was too good. Each of the White Day scenario recordings was elaborate.

Option 1

Tsumugi: How was your own scenario?

Yamato: As expected girls like getting told, “say ahh.”

The people in the studio also liked it. Was onii-san cool?

Option 2

Tsumugi: Whose scenario was good?

Yamato: Mitsu’s cooking is cunning. He can really attract people’s hearts with his food (lol)

Ichi and Tama were fresh, such as matching presents, and arcade dates.

Option 3

Tsumugi: Do you have any White Day memories?

Yamato: Not as many as this year. This year is the busiest White Day.

Yamato: Why, we haven’t had such a lively special program in a long time. I’m glad we finished without incident.

Tsumugi: You must be tired…!

Afterwards please rest easily!

Yamato: Well, there’s another job tomorrow.

Yamato: Good work, Tsumugi.

Tsumugi: So you’re continuing to call me informally until the day ends! ><

Yamato: Well. Your reactions are interesting, Tsumugi.

Tsumugi: Let’s talk about something else! This topic isn’t good!

Yamato: It can’t be helped.

Yamato: I missed a chance during Valentine’s.

After all didn’t Banri-san give you a White Day gift when you were in middle school?

Tsumugi: Wah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tsumugi: I exercise my right to remain silent!!!

Yamato:

Yamato: Well well. Anyway, onii-san will give you a return gift this year, so look forward to it.

Tsumugi: Eh, really…?

Yamato: I already prepared it. It’s in the car you always drive me in?

Yamato: I secretly planned it. Afterwards open it and look.

Part 5: Yamato’s Surprise

Tsumugi: Yamato-san! It’s there!

Yamato: Oh, you found it?

Tsumugi: Yes!

Even though it was in quite a large box, it was hidden in the back, so if you hadn’t said anything I probably wouldn’t have noticed it at all…!

Yamato: It’d be troubling if Banri-san found it before White Day. Onii-san is serious.

Tsumugi: Could it be you hid it in the car during that time you drove…?

Yamato: I did it secretly.

Yamato: Since you found it, open it.

Tsumugi: The box is tight though….

I have a hunch it’s something expensive, is that alright…?

Yamato: Don’t hold back at this point! No returns~.

Tsumugi: G-got it! I opened it!

Tsumugi:

Yamato: Well? Do you like it?

Tsumugi: Cute…!!! Pumps!!!

Yamato: I don’t think I got the size wrong.

Tsumugi: Amazing! It’s perfect! You really knew…!

Yamato: I had to eyeball through various sizes.

Yamato:

Tsumugi: Various…?

Yamato: It’s a joke.

Yamato: Are they comfortable?

I had fun choosing them on my day off.

Tsumugi: They’re light, and easy to walk in!

Thank you for the wonderful White Day gift…!

Yamato: If you like them, getting them was worth it.

Option 1

Tsumugi: I’ll wear them on a day off!

Yamato: Then when a day off comes, I’ll come see you wearing them, Tsumugi.

Option 2

Tsumugi: I’ll treasure them!

Yamato: I’m happy but shouldn’t you wear them? (lol)

Option 3

Tsumugi: I’ll give you a gift next year!

Yamato: Eh? Are you giving onii-san something better than chocolate?

Tsumugi: But, I somehow felt like I was searching for a treasure!

It was fun! lol

Yamato: If receiving an ordinary gift surprises you this much, should I strip naked?

(purupurupuru) (purupurupuru) (gocha!) (coo!) (coo!)

Happy 2019! We are deeply, deeply sorry for the long hiatus. Flu season is getting around, and the crew are still sick, plus I’ve been majorly busy with loads of work now that spring is coming and job hunting season/ visa renewal season for me. But to make up for the long absence, the crew gathered everything everyone missed even while being sick so I will lay out everything. First off, the chapter will resume this week I think as last time, it was left where Zoro gets acquainted with his new friend, Yasu as he brought him to a town of smiles and suffrage, Ebisu town. Everyone was all smile despite the hunger, pain, and illness going around, they still keep a big happy face. Zoro thought it was strange, but understood the hardship they are w/standing. One of the villagers mentioned to Yasu that a Robin-hood hero pass by the village again. Supposedly, this hero brings them food and water to ease the hunger of the villagers. Who could this stranger be? They call him ox-free. Back at Onigashima, MAJOR trouble stirred up! Big Mom showed up to get Zeus back, and brought her whole crew with them. It was chaos! They steer the mother ship towards the water fall almost reaching to the top, but King, one of the big honchos, used his devil fruit, the dragon-dragon fruit, pteranodon style. He turned into a dinosaur, pterodactyl. Anyway, King knock the ship down as Big Mom sinks into the ocean. At the end, Sanji, Franky, Ussop, and Law are heading for the hills to avoid getting caught. Law tells the guys that if they caught, they must not reveal their plans, and to not pick a fight as it would ruined their chance to fight for real. Sanji then hears screaming from the village, and it was none other than Page. Demanding for Sanji to show up, he destroys the soba stand, and hurting the villagers. Suddenly, Sanji kicks Page to the curb. He tells the guys to go on ahead as he pulls out the weapon that Niji left for him back at WCI. Sanji then pulls out his weapon and BAM! The dark knight, Soba Mask, appears! Black suit, family hair do, shades, rocket shoes, I mean the whole enchilada. Apparently, this new suit really is useful and beating Page. At the end, a surprise got washed up ashore. Chopper takes a stroll with Tama, Kiku, and Momo and they spot Big Mom. However, when she woke up, she doesn’t know her where she is nor who she is. EH?! AMNESIA? Will it last? What’s gonna happen if regains her memory? Big time yonkou will clash! What fate will hold for the kingdome of Wano?! GAH! So many mysteries and questions! Guess we’ll have to leave it up to the big man. Let’s be surprised. Also, if you want to read official manga, please use official websites. Do not go around revealing spoilers on any media such as FB, TW, or any other to everyone who are patiently waiting for the official released. It’s rude and messed up. Be considerate. Next, totally behind on the anime, but we’ll wrap it up in one. We finally see Luffy catching up to Katakuri’s level and getting the respect after finding out that Flampe pulled a dirty trick and put that brat in her place. This past weekend’s episode was a major throw down! We finally see Luffy’ new awesome gear 4th move, SNAKE MAN, which it increased his speed of his attacks. Katakuri however was still one step ahead thanks to his awesome observation haki. Both warriors are going all out majorly. The guys pulled their final move into a huge impact of haki!! Meanwhile, Sanji and Pudding wait in an alley. Pudding hesitates to say goodbye to Sanji, but approached him for a final request. At the end, the fight is over. The victor is…none other than our fellow rubber champ, Luffy-kun! Katakuri stands up and asked him if he will beat Big Mom. He vowed to come back and do so. Katakuri finally passed out defeated for the first time. At the end, Luffy leaves his hat on his face as show of his respect and Pekoms shows up. It’s 5 until 1 am. Next time, Pekoms helps Luffy by awakening his sulong form, but will it save our hero? DON’T MISS IT! Thank you, Katakuri for putting up a major fight. We hope to see you down the road. Now on with the goods! First, we received a telegram from Tongari-san as he caught the flu, but will get better in no time. He says that in March, the tower will be celebrating its 4th anniversary, and loads of fun events will be happening. The anniversary week will start from March 13th to the 16th.

Kamen Rider 45th Anniversary File: Decade

2009

Sing it with me now..♬ Chan-Chan-Bara Chanbara! Chan-Bara-Bara Chanbara! Samurai Sentai Shinkenjā! Appare!♬ The 33rd Super Sentai authorized by the network! Shinkenger, Goes Forth!

RPM! GET IN GEAR! Power Rangers RPM hits the airwaves on the new Disney XD channel (formerly Jetix in the US). Decreed by Disney to be the final original Power Rangers series, the company wanted to be super cheap by pulling the plug on production and re-airing old episodes next year. The franchise would then get tossed out by the Mouse House after this harebrained scheme backfires.

Fresh Pretty Cure debuts, airing alongside Decade (and Double) and Shinkenger. This season attempts to expand the Pretty Cure brand beyond its young female demographic, which would prove successful next series...

So~(I Can Fly!) Hurry!~ (You Can Fly!) Miracles!~ (We Can Fly) DRAGON CHAAAAAAARGE!~ Tomica Hero: Rescue Fire, the sequel season to Rescue Force, debuts and... sadly is the final installment of the Tomica Hero series. Among the supporting cast for the show was the man, the myth, the legend, Hiroshi Fujioka! Tomica Hero Explosively Completed its run in 2010.

Engine Sentai Go-onger vs. Gekiranger, the 15th Sentai Vs. series entry, is upgraded from a direct to video release to a feature film. It is the first Sentai crossover put on the silver screen since JAKQ vs. Gorenger in the 1970s. This marks the first time in history that Super Sentai has more than one film in a single year and would continue from here on out.

Victory Pose! Yatter! Yatter! Yatterman, the Tasunoko late 70s anime classic, gets a live action film adaptation courtesy of film director Takashii Miike.

Ishimori Pro declares 2009 to be the “Year of Cyborg 009″ because of the franchise’s 45th anniversary. The company does special events for the occasion, such as showcase Cyborg 009 concept art, animation cels and sketches from the private archives of Shotaro Ishinomori at areas such as Akihabara and the Ishinomori Manga Museum.

Lastly, Koichi Sakamoto of Power Rangers fame sits in the directors chair on several tokusatsu projects, including the Ultra Galaxy Movie and a few Kamen Rider movies.

(2009 was a busy year!)

Kamen Rider’s home network TV Asahi was celebrating 50 years of broadcasting and the number of main Kamen Riders in the Heisei Era had reached the milestone of 10 in total. To celebrate the two momentous occasions, TV-Asahi treated fans to not one, not two, but three Kamen Riders in a single year. The first was the non-canon Kamen Rider G, the later half of the year saw Kamen Rider W, and Kamen Rider Decade was right in the middle.

Decade brought forth tropes in super hero fiction with near limitless writing possibilities: The Multiverse and the reunified continuity trope. Not only was it now possible for a Kamen Rider to have a crossover with other Riders, but the series can go to other universes such as....

crossing over with its sister series Super Sentai!

For the first time ever on TV, Kamen Rider and Super Sentai had a team-up crossover special. While JAKQ vs. Gorenger in the 1970s mentioned Kamen Rider Amazon being part of a greater universe of heroes, this was never expanded upon any further other than a quick mention/cameo image.

Often comic book fans draw parallels of this show’s story to another...

Both serve a purpose, to unify all continuity back into one single linear pathway that audiences can follow. Thus the multiple variants of stories become one sole tale in one setting. That being said, unlike many who recommend Decade as a starting series, I would advise newcomers to hold off a little until they familiarize themselves with the Heisei era a little better, as otherwise the story elements may confuse them as they will have no frame of reference going in.

Heisei Kamen Rider up to this point allowed itself to avoid continuity ties by letting each series stand on its own aside from maybe Kuuga and Agito, but even that could be a stretch. Decade is where things began to merge back together, as after this series, Riders began interacting with one another on a regular basis in movies and direct to video films. Aside from a few teases of non-canon events like the Ryuki V-Cinema and the Den-O and Kiva Movie, Toei didn’t seem too interested in doing TV or film crossovers on a grander scale until this exact year.

So... what happened that may have changed their minds?

Oh yeah, THAT happened...Marvel made it known at the end of a little movie called Iron Man they were going to do BIG crossovers. So naturally, Toei possibly followed suit (with mixed results depending on who you ask). It is just speculation, but you have to admit it is odd timing given the franchise almost avoided crossovers entirely up to this point.

This show is also the last hurrah of Rainbow Zoukei as the costume designers, as their workload had grown to insane levels. RZ was doing Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, Ultraman, prop replacement parts for Power Rangers on top of various movies and TV commercials. In order to ease the burden, the company created a secondary studio based in Tama called Blend Master to divide the workload. Rainbow Zoukei does Super Sentai and new Metal Heroes costumes/replacements while Blend Master works on Kamen Rider from Double to the present day.

Another new addition to the franchise would be the introduction of Bandai’s Legend Rider gimmick for their Ganbaride arcade video game cabinets. Rider Cards were the primordial phase of this gimmick, utilizing the powers of past heroes in the show while being something Bandai could double up in profits on. Later iterations and Ganbarizng would incorporate the electronic collectible toy trinkets in combination with the trading cards. Another staple of this series was the introduction of the Rider lexicon term “Driver” for the belts (Get it? A belt is the driving force of the super powers of a Kamen Rider.)

The biggest thing this series did though was revive the Showa Riders presence in the franchise after a long absence from TV with a story arc about visiting the non-Heisei Rider worlds, with at least one of the originals physically appearing and returning to his role:

Tetsuo Kurata as Kohtaro Minami/Kamen Rider Black and Black RX! (Parallel universes thing, complicated to explain.)

Decade is a very divisive series, some love it for upping the stakes of conflict with the fate of reality itself hanging in the balance and a war between Riders of past and present series with a super powerful rider that had a cool belt voiced by radio personality Mark Okita.

On the opposite end of fandom, some hated it for undermining their favorite Riders with what some assessed to be a Marty Stu fanfic-y character who was almost super-invincible and ultimately served as a plot device.

On the upside to fans who dislike the show, at least we got a female Rider and a meme out of it...

ONORE DECADE!

Speaking of which...KAMEN RIDE: DECADE!

“The Destroyer of Worlds, Decade. What do those eyes see as he travels through many worlds?"

(Mr. Kadoya, circa 2014 in a crossover with Kamen Rider Wizard, lookin’ like a boss.)

Real Name: Tsukasa Kadoya

As a child, Tsukasa was often alone with his sister, but soon discovered she had the ability to create trans-dimensional gateways called Dimension Walls.

Tsukasa ran off into one of them one day and in his later years, came into contact with Dai-Shocker, a revived amalgamation of all the past villains the Kamen Riders had ever faced. They tricked him into playing the role of their Great Leader (which a teen Tsukasa thought was a “fun idea” at the time) and later offered him a new weapon to test out: The Decadriver. The belt device was the intense labor of Dai-Shocker scientists who HATED the Kamen Riders. The Decadriver could duplicate and surpass the powers of all Kamen Riders to obliterate them once and for all or use them as lifeless tools to enhance the Decade system. Tsukasa tested them out, but this ended badly for him as the overwhelming shock of crossing multiple universes all at once caused mental trauma that wiped his memories away. The Decadriver was somehow left hidden and abandoned in an unspecified alternate Earth.

Cut to 2009 and an amnesiac Tsukasa is on an Earth working as a photographer for the Hikari family. Natsumi Hikari is having strange nightmares about a figure who kills all the Kamen Riders in a great war, enveloped in a magenta light. Strange things then start happening as random unexplained catastrophes occur such as monsters appearing from silvery walls and people being randomly teleported to unfamiliar locations and slaughtered by more monsters.

As this happens, a familiar face appears to Tsukasa: Wataru Kurenai aka Kamen Rider Kiva who asks him where his “buckle and cards” are and that this “world will end if he doesn’t do something“. Tsukasa at first does not understand and is confused by all this, but Natsumi later finds the belt and gives it to him when she is being attacked by some Worms. Tsukasa transforms into a new Kamen Rider and then remembers how to fight, using the powers of past Kamen Riders to defeat waves of monsters effortlessly.

Once Wataru and the other Kamen Riders freeze the world in place with their combined powers to prevent further destruction, the veteran Rider explains to Tsukasa that the parallel worlds of Kamen Riders are merging due to an outside force and will destroy all of existence if it isn’t stopped.

To that end, Tsukasa as Kamen Rider Decade must go to the 9 Worlds and destroy the nine Kamen Riders of those worlds to preserve the Prime universe. Wataru laments that creation cannot come without destroying something and promises to hold the world in place for as long as he can with his comrades until Decade “fixes” the multiverse.

Decade ends up doing the exact opposite after befriending the Riders and connecting their stories. This at first did not sit well with the Prime Universe Kamen Riders and they attacked Decade to preserve their existence and those of their loved ones, thus the Rider War began.

But by being a destroyer and connecting with heroes, Decade did find a way eventually to save everyone. Tsukasa now spends his days traveling across space and time, exploring new parallel worlds and helping those in need in his own unique way.

(As many Rider Scouts will tell you: This one idea has massive fanfiction potential as Decade could have visited any number of universes of beloved franchises along his journey: Marvel, DC, Image, Transformers, Doctor Who, Star Trek etc.)

In one non-canon moment of a video game, an enemy called him the Destroyer of Worlds. Decade then casually responded that he is “retired” from that role. Even in Kamen Rider Taisen (*ugh*) any mention of this title seems to annoy/upset Tsukasa, as he feels he is beyond that part of his life.

Powers:

Decade can become invisible, make copies of himself, has expert markmanship and sword skill, enhanced strength and has the ability to travel across dimensions to parallel Earths.

Decade’s signature ability is for his Rider System to analyze an opponent and if it is a Kamen Rider, copy its data for Decade to assume the powers, weapons and forms himself in the form of Rider Cards. The Rider Cards can also upgrade/seize a Kamen Rider into a new form dubbed as a “Final Form Ride”, transforming them to act as a support such as a new power, a vehicle, a weapon or a device such as enhanced armor.

Decade himself can Final Form Ride into a giant sized version of the Decadriver for Kamen Rider J to wear and he assumes control of Kouji’s body as a giant sized Decade. Decade can obtain the power of Kamen Riders through cards in one of two ways, the first is the Magic of Friendship and the other is straight up beating them to near death and sealing the weakened Rider in a card in a manner somewhat similar to the Blade System with the Undead. Decade prefers option one, but in a rare instance used the second one as circumstances forced him to.

The Decadriver is also compatible with other card systems such as the Gosei Cards from the Goseigers and the Decadriver is shown it can utilize Super Sentai weapon Rider Cards.

Using some kind of construct projector somewhat akin to ZX’s Virtual Image Projection Unit, Decade can assume the form of ANY Kamen Rider. (As confirmed by recent toys, Decade can go up to Kamen Rider Drive currently. But Ghost and Ex-Aid are likely part of his card deck by now). Upon tinkering with it apparently, the Decadriver can holographically disguise itself as another Rider Belt (such as 1′s Typhoon) and through a voice modulator, Decade can fully impersonate a Kamen Rider for stealth/infiltration missions. This image projection is enhanced even further in Complete Form, as Kamen Riders in their ultimate forms appear on command and seemingly mimic Decade’s movements like a shadow for a double final form Rider Finisher.

In his more deadly Violent Emotion mode, Decade can obtain and use any power of a Kamen Rider automatically, even sometimes without the use of the cards and no form change needed. He is seemingly so powerful in this mode that almost no Kamen Rider can stop him and his Rider Kick pretty much becomes a human seeker missile (As shown when he chased down Skyrider in the air and kicked him, turning the airborne 8th Rider into a falling fireball.) Complete Form can summon the powers of the Heisei Rider’s ultimate forms and utilize their Rider cards in those forms to enhance Complete form further.

Tsukasa as a human is bestowed with new skills in every world he visits to serve whatever purpose the multiverse needs him for. (Ex. knowing the Gurongi language)

Weaknesses:

Decade, much like the the future Gokaigers who would adopt his same power copy gimmick, is not all powerful on his own in base form and can be beaten in some instances. (Blade in King Form gave Decade quite the beatdown once with just one slash of his sword) This is more to showcase that Decade on his own is neither stronger or weaker than any previous or succeeding Rider in base form and through the comradery of his fellow Riders sharing their strength with him, he can become the strongest of all of them.

His Rider Cards at first had a one use limit, it is uncertain if this still applies in some capacity. When the cards were used they would seal away the powers selected until they were activated again after gaining a Rider’s trust. Some universes disrupted or negated his power such as the World of Negatives, which rendered all his cards useless until he upgraded to Complete Form.

His Rider Belt is basically a big bullseye, as stabbing or damaging the Decadriver at close range will shut down the device and de-power Decade. Though if the first episode is any indication, dimension wall energy can automatically repair the belt. Still, like most modern belts which are not surgically attached to the Rider, Tsukasa could have the Decadriver knocked away from him or he could lose it.

The Decade system was designed to defeat Kamen Riders, thus other superheroes are immune to the copying of powers on some level. (though this does not guarantee opposing sides victory).

Kamen Riders sometimes had a bit of animosity towards Decade given his reputation and even after the Rider War, some view him akin to a Nuclear Option, as in someone who should only be called upon in a crisis or as an absolute last resort. Like Kuuga, Agito and Kiva, Decade has a dangerous side to the power he wields that could end all life..well..everywhere, especially if he succumbs to his darker impulses such as with using Violent Emotion mode.

Signature Finishers:

Dimension Blast: Using the Final Attack Ride: Decade Card, Decade uses the Ride Booker in Gun mode to fire a charged shot

Dimension Slash: Using the Final Attack Ride: Decade Card, Decade uses the Rider Booker in Sword Mode and executes an energy charged Rider slash.

Dimension Kick: Decade’s Rider Kick which is executed using the Final Attack Ride:Decade Card. Variants include the Enhanced Dimension Kick in Complete Form which utilizes the power of the 9 Heisei Riders in conjunction with his own power and the Final Dimension Kick which after using the FinalKamenAttackForm Ride Card, turns all the Kamen Riders into Kamen Ride cards that Decade flies through to enhance his kick to maximum power.

Enemies:

Dai-Shocker

http://kamenrider.wikia.com/wiki/Dai-Shocker

Dai-Shocker is a supergroup of past Kamen Rider Villains from various parallel Earths who scour the multiverse to find like-minded individuals to convert/recruit into their army for one ultimate goal: Total conquest, subjugation and absolute rule of the entire multiverse and creation itself!

Out of all incarnations of Shocker, that is a pretty ambitious goal for evil and difficult considering that Kamen Riders exist on other worlds as well as other superheroes who stand in their way. Tsukasa was once their Great Leader, but turned against them and the organization had been crippled and splintered into various forms such as Super Shocker and Space Shocker, but manages to revive at least once.

Narutaki

http://kamenrider.wikia.com/wiki/Narutaki

Nobody knows what his deal is, but he has a wide array of powers including the ability to create Dimension Walls, summon evil Kamen Riders or monsters and assumes the form of past Generals such as Colonel Zol of Shocker. He hates Decade for some reason and sees himself as a prophet of the Rider’s nature as a destroyer, warning other heroic Riders to try and stop him. He does flip-flop his allegiance at times.

Some fans have theorized he is an incarnation of the real Great Leader, while a still of the pre-production film shots of what would become Decade: Final Chapter gave a bombshell to his possible identity:

That pink camera is Tsukasa’s..so some speculate from this image that he is an older Tsukasa from an alternate reality.....

Sadly due to unknown legal issues and production delays, this plot was tossed out along with several other story ideas. So Narutaki’s identity and purpose for antagonizing Decade is never explained and his character was taken to a...very weird direction...

All we can say to those good stories and his identity not being told to us is...

ONORE DECADE!

Now we must go on the road to another Rider’s world.... til next time...

Battle at Daytona Beach! CEO 2018 Highlights and Results

Community Effort Orlando, known as CEO, recently held its biggest event ever in Daytona Beach, Florida. This year’s event was the result of a massive amount of hard work from tournament organizer Alex Jebailey and his staff, who really pulled out all the stops!

CEO started in 2010, and has grown over time to become a bigger and bigger mainstay of fighting game tournament events. This year’s event was even given the honor of being the first stop on the Dragon Ball Z Fighterz World Tour, with the One Star Dragonball up for grabs! But CEO has always been a community event on top of a tournament, with attendance from vendors, artists, and publishers, a 24-hour arcade for attendees, and, this year, a first-ever run of community-run panels and a New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) show!

With the move to Daytona, Jebailey’s plan was to expand the scope and size of CEO and to help meet the demands of the growing community and professional players' needs. It seems to have paid off, as this year’s event featured 5 different video game publishers demoing their games and included the first post-E3 demo stations for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate! Nintendo, Namco, Arika, and Spike Chunsoft were on hand to demonstrate their upcoming fighting games to the attendees, with dedicated stations for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Soul Calibur VI, Fighting EX Layer and Fire Pro Wrestling World.

While there, I had a chance to check out all of the games on hand, and had a blast! While I found out I might not be very good with Ridley in Smash Ultimate yet, I really had a great time playing the game and checking out the awesome mural Nintendo brought! I also found myself having a blast playing as Grøh in Soul Calibur VI and can’t wait to see more of the game. The same goes for Fighting EX Layer!

Fire Pro Wrestling World was an especially fun time, as I was lucky enough to get to play against Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi… to a 10-minute draw! There were some amazing exhibition matches on the big stages, especially the Fire Pro Wrestling World one that pit Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi of NJPW against Jebailey and independent pro wrestling star Leva Bates! In the end, the Golden Lovers were able to come out on top and walk away with the Fire Pro Wrestling Championship!

Perhaps one of the biggest stories to come out of CEO 2018 for non-fighting game fans was the NJPW show that happened on Friday night. Bringing some of the beloved favorites of NJPW to Florida such as Jeff Cobb, Roppongi 3k’s Rocky Romero and SHO and YOH, Bullet Club’s Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa, Ryusuke Taguchi, and more for their first ever official NJPW was no small feat, and Kenny Omega and Alex Jebailey pulled out all the stops to produce an entertaining and unique show.

The main event between the Golden Lovers and Los Ingobernables de Japón leaders Tetsuya Naito and Hiromu Takahashi tore the house down, and Kenny and Kota stayed after the show to take pictures and thank everyone for coming out. The show was even streamed on Twitch for free, garnering over 20,000 viewers, so there might be a NJPW x CEO 2 in the future!

Finally, the most important day of the event was Sunday: Grand Finals! The biggest games got to have the biggest stage, as competitors took to the arena in Top 8 matches of Tekken 7, Dragon Ball Z Fighterz, and Street Fighter V. With CEO being the very first stop for the Dragon Ball Fighterz World Tour, it was quite the treat to see the game’s director, Tomoko Hiroki, sharing her energy and passion as she got ready to present the One Star Dragon Ball to the victor!

Of course, CEO has always had a unique wrestling-inspired flavor to it, so every Top 8 competitor had to have their own unique entrance music and theme. Personally, I think it’s a toss up between Vineeth (ApologyMan) Meka’s Tien and Chiaotzu re-enactment and Panda Global’s Infiltration, whose Val Venis-inspired throwback entrance was quite something! By the end of the night, everyone had fought their best in round after round of amazing upsets and close victories. Congratulations to Tekken 7 champion Jeondding, Street Fighter V champion Fujimura, and Dragon Ball Fighterz champion Kazunoko, who also received the One Star Dragon Ball!

After this year’s event, it seems like the future could be quite bright for CEO! As the panels, wrestling, and gaming combine to create a unique tournament and convention feel, there’s a real chance CEO could become a must-attend event for players and fans, and the future might even see even more convention-style additions. CEOTaku, the anime fighting game sibling, is coming up this September as well, so keep your eyes peeled for more interesting growth and changes in the Florida community! Until next time, CEO!

Which fighting game is your favorite one to play? Which upcoming fighting games are you looking forward to the most? Let us know in the comments!
