ooc;; Ichiban didn’t always believe in being a hero the way he does now. Back when he was a young, irritable, antisocial brat in his teen years, the heroism he admired in Dragon Quest was nothing more to him than an escape - an unattainable ideal that Ichiban could admire, but surrounded by the cruelty and grit of the red light district since his youngest age - as far as he could tell, he’d get much further letting out his bitterness and violent urges out on the world rather than channeling them into anything extreme. He was... really never too far from being like the equally disillusioned and irritated small-time yakuza and thugs he’d run into and beat up on the streets, and if things hadn’t come to a drastic change, that’s just where he’d be now.

Because in his mind, heroes didn’t exist... at least not until he met a real-life hero for himself.

ooc;; Now, there are certainly arguments that can be made for whether or not Arakawa is in any way anything close to the kind of hero one would find in a Dragon Quest game - but it sure awoke a belief in heroism Ichiban had long abandoned before the fateful encounter with the family patriarch that saved this snot-nosed brat’s case, even at its cost, and even despite the fact the man had never met him before and said brat had dragged him into trouble that never needed to be his to begin with.

For Ichiban Kasuga, there was no denying what a heroic act such a thing truly was. It was heroism that kept him alive - and showed that being someone cool, strong, and ready to do whatever it takes to do the right thing was an entirely achievable ideal.

ooc;; It’s hard to call a man who held prominence in the yakuza a hero (even if he was one of the nicer ones), but to Ichiban - Arakawa was living proof that heroism was real, and that he was never an idiot for dreaming of being a hero himself. Even if he wouldn’t be casting spells and slaying dragons anytime soon in the main verse, he could be heroic in his own, non-magical way.
