★ A3! New Characters "KICS" Details

Someone already TL'd these on Twitter but I figured I'd do my own TL over here for the Tumblr crowd!

These characters will appear in ACT4!, which is being released starting in spring 2024.

Towa Ichinoe (CV: Daigo Kato)

An extremely puppy-like boy who loves all of MANKAI.

Occupation: 1st Year at Hanasaki Academy

A huge ultrahigh-intensity fan of MANKAI Company and and oshi of Spring Troupe's Masumi. He attended middle school in the countryside, but convinced his parents to let him move to Tokyo. He also lives with his aunt and works part-time for her at a flower shop on Veludo Way. He loves rice.

"Hey, hey, hey, could we take a pic together, please!?"

Ibuki Dozono (CV: Shuichiro Umeda)

A high-energy genderless youth.

Occupation: 2nd Year at Tsukushi High School

They like to stand out and have become quiet famous! They started posting videos online that went viral due to their enthusiastic personality and they've become a bit of a celebrity. They're a happy-go-lucky person who lives their life by the mindset of "Life's a win if you enjoy it the way you want to!" They like potatoes.

"Huh~, so there's some people who don't know of THE Ibuki~?"

Keiku Karashina (CV: Hayato Dojima)

A violent boy who's emotionally-lacking.

Occupation: 2nd Year at Ouka High School

A boy who has nothing in his life to be passionate about so he spends his days fighting instead. He's insensitive to both his own emotions and to the emotions of others. His favorite food is shortcake with strawberries on top.

"'It hurts' is easy to understand... ain't it?"

Kureha Nishiki (CV: Yuri Ise)

A narcissistic boy who's 120% confident in himself.

Occupation: 3rd Year at Ouka High School

A super confident guy who thinks he be good at anything at all. He's an idiot who can't make up his mind during critical moments, but he's loved by everyone around him at school because of his natural cheerfulness. He's addicted to tea and works part-time at a cafe. He likes Western-style sweets.

"Just leave it to me and everything will be okay!"

[m0e-ru]

did you know that ummmmmmmmmm Attendant uses boku ボク in regular overworld dialogue (it was mentioned. One Time) and referred to bancho with kimi きみ and kid コ once, but used boku 僕 and kimi 君 in 3/20 dialogue before iznmi thought it was too funny and dropped everythjing and started using watashi 私 .

Namatame uses boku 僕 when hes uh. normal along with kimi 君. and in his diary. but in his crazy era he used ore �� and omae お前 in the middle of dragging Nanako around in Heaven and when he's confronted in the hospital at night when Yosuke tried to murder him. he also used omae お前 in that one cutscene of scribbling in his notebook. he uses watashi 私 in formal settings like when he was doing his speech at the train station during the Golden epilogue.

Adachi he uh. uses boku 僕 kimi 君 all the same, even in magatsu inaba. even in Ultimax if i recall right? although he mightve code switched at least once i don't remember. it's only during Visualive he uses ore 俺 and omae お前 ever. not even in The Evolution.

Nanako speaks in third person as shes a kid and addresses everyone politely with -san あだちさん or labels like deliveryman ハイタツの人, she calls her friends with -chan ミフちゃん and -kun タケヨシくん, and bancho onii-chan お兄ちゃん. it might just be in the drama cds but she refers to the IT also with onii-chan (Kanji onii-chan) and onee-chan (Marie onee-chan) but still calls Rise "Rise-chan" and Teddie with -san クマさん.

Teddie. well he uses third person クマ and kimi キミ but I think I did hear him using watashi a few times acting human. hed call bancho with sensei センセイ and the girls with -chan ユキちゃん ナナちゃん and has this love hate relationship with the boys I think going from “Yosuke” ヨースケ to “Hanamura“ ハナムラ.

bancho um. I know Narukami uses ore and omae in the anime and Hayato and Yuuya code switch to boku politely in front of adults in the stageplays. i’ll admit i haven’t checked much manga raws to remember what Souji uses but I think it’s similar enough. he does use honorifics of adults like "Adachi-san," "Margaret-san (??)" and sometimes refers to Dojima as "uncle." I don’t recall him calling Nanako with -chan, and usually uses last names for his peers, "Satonaka," "Amagi," though he does use first names with the boys and the first years.

Marie uses watashi 私 and kimi キミ especially for bancho, but she does have a lot of fun nicknames for the IT. green and red… mister (old-timer)… “someone even I can’t handle”…. she doesn’t use honorifics for Margaret despite being told to.

#persona 4 spoilers #persona 4 #p4 #sulululat #pagsususuri #// hashtag just pronouns things. or terms of referal. whatever #// i was only supposed to do more mim trivia except ummmmmm i started spitting out everything i knew </3 #// theres a neat table in a jp wiki somewhere with nicknames too for the rest of the IT since i dont. know the IT #// i could share screen shots and timestamps for the drama cds but....iamso tired ........ but i have the power to #ゲッー #// mims dialogue is so inconsistent they use みんな then 皆 idc if they have 17 dialogue lines this is everythung to me #// also more trivia ummmm mim used ore in the stageplay i think. idk my listening comprehension is bad #// i would add sho and minazuki....they use boku and ore respectively....... i havent checked this.... shameful #// i think they both use omae?? or sho uses kimi?? i just know in the true endinf sho uses anta idk i thought it was cute

[chibitantei]

Nothing like bringing back Hayato. Here be a brief rundown of her setup because only the eldest of followers may remember her:

P4 MC’s name is Souji in this one and he was a crusty pickled bitch.

Only cared about a select few people during his time in Inaba, namely the Dojimas, Adachi, Yosuke, Teddie and Rise. The others could fuck off because they don’t matter.

Hayato and the rest of the people who are on Souji’s shit list are :/ at it but say nothing to keep pretending like nothing is wrong while he continues to treat them like shit.

At some point post P4, Hayato encounters the multiverse and is a bit of a wimp and insecure™.

After a bit, she fucks off and disappears. During that time, she confronts Souji and effectively prevents him from using any Fortune arcana related Personas. The link is broken, yo.

She gets another Persona because of it, which is Fenrir. He was under the Fortune arcana in the P2 games, so it counts.

He’s a good boy and Naoto loves him very much.

Naoto and the other IT members on his shit list have distanced themselves from him and are working on telling the others about him. What happens with the Dojimas is up in the air because I haven’t thought about that but whatever.

Have I mentioned I took inspo from the P4 manga because it fucking sucks and I hate it

The ‘you’ in the verse tag is referring to Sooj

She’s basically going to be used for the multiverse 99% of the time but god forbid you want her, that requires some plotting. that’s it I just need to get her outta my head

eight months in somebody actually asked me abt visualive instead of me immediately annoying ppl about it without former notice. I might actually write properly for once 😳😳😳

OK OK!!!!! In this essay I will.... I will.... Visualive Adachi.... Visu/BURSTS INTO TEARS/

OKAY OKAY for real I just care Visualive so much (as someone who can’t fully understand Japanese AHAHA)

First I’ll add some foundation about what Visualive really is, then I talk abt Adachi in the latter parts of it because this is technically the first time I’m properly talking about this hehe 🐿

T....table of contents???

Visualive

Visualive the Evolution

Masami Itou

Visualive Adachi

Visualive the Evolution Adachi

Terms and Legend

VL - Visualive

VLE - Visualive the Evolution

stage - shortened for “stageplay”

面白い - omoshiroi (it’s just that specific)

Yuuya - VL Hero name

Hayato - VLE Hero name

Baba - Hero

Masami - Adachi

Taniguchi - Dojima

Saotome - Daisuke

Mamiya - Izanami

I add honorifics but sometimes I forget the hyphen intentionally or unintentionally I’m sorry if it makes it hard to read lol

all links have automatic timestamps for easy viewing. i mean. i hope the timestamps work

VISUALIVE “Persona 4.” A stage adaptation of SMT: Persona 4 by Atlus. It adapts the first part of the story, from the hero’s arrival to after recovering Mitsuo Kubo from the TV world. It also ends on a cliff hanger, showing a teaser of Shadow Naoto being projected on the screen.

It takes up a speedy recapitulation of the hero’s spring life, before slowing down and showing in depth his school life in summer. A day before Morooka-sensei’s death, there is a little skit with Kou, Daisuke and Adachi. The hero walks into the conversation before the two other boys leaving, and Morooka-sensei walking in on the student and detective. The next day follow’s the teacher’s death and the Investigation Team (IT) begin investigating their new lead.

From the words “visual” and “alive,” the niche of this stage was meant to be the fusion of live acting and visual digital projections. All seen from the stageplay with the colorful cast of actors and CG animations being projected on the screen. This offers an opportunity for characters to summon their personas, perform cool visual effects, change the backdrop, or even confront their own Shadows.

Performed in Sunshine Theater from the 15th to the 20th of March 2012. The screenplay was written and directed by Shintaro Asanuma from the theatrical group “bpm.” The video production produced by Shutaro Oku, a film director and visual planner. He later takes over as director for VISUALIVE THE EVOLUTION, the sequel stage. The stage music was produced by Shunsuke Wada, with a special show exclusive vocal track sung by Shihoko Hirata.

On this note, I haven’t seen any sort of original soundtrack released for any of the stages and I’m SO SAD. The last song in Mitsuo’s boss fight was such a BANGER and literally EVERYTHING ELSE Marvelous, Wadasan please take my MONEY

Regarding the cast, there were some special accommodations for Teddie, Rise, and Nanako, all of which did not have live actors at the time. During the casting, actors for the three characters could not be found or simply left the directors unsatisfied they couldn’t cast anybody. An exception for Rise, who was able to have a live actor in the sequel stage. It has been stated that there weren’t any “pretty boy” actors that fit the “Teddie Criteria.” While there weren’t any child actors that were believed to portray Nanako well.

Teddie was only ever seen in his bear costume while Rise was busy talking through a call, all voiced by their video game cast. Nanako has never appeared on stage, only being scarcely mentioned in the script. Again, this is different in the sequel stage where her role was extremely important and was shown as a screen projection.

VISUALIVE “Persona 4” THE EVOLUTION. A sequel stage. Beginning abruptly in the middle of Shadow Naoto’s boss fight, the story continues from there until the “true end” of the game’s original story. *Certain characters are introduced while others have been reintroduced. And on a personal note, when it’s all comedic in the beginning, it’s all for what’s coming right after.

I don’t know if I’m salty or just find it really funny AHAHA I might go talk abt it some other day with more context ehehe

Performed in The Galaxy Theater from the 3rd to the 9th of October 2012, only a few months after the PSVITA Persona 4 Golden release, which is July 2012. The screenplay was now written by Jun Kumagi while directed by Shutaro Oku. And music production finally taken over by Shoji Meguro himself.

---

HAHAHA this is starting to look like a wiki page. moving on. I might start rambling rn

(warning LONG !!!! aaa,,)

My thoughts on the stage adaptations. For the first Visualive (VL) I believe it’s pretty close to canon! I enjoy the characterization and how much love and care was present when handling the entire production.

Actors were busy playing the game itself, wherein a PS2 was present in the practice room. Along with magazines and game guides explaining the game’s story and the characters itself. Actors performing together and even improv acting together to get a grasp of their characters. All of them knowing well of Persona 4 as a well loved game, delicately handling their characters and hopefully performing them right while making the audience happy.

The staff taking care of each other while the director and video producer, Asanuma-san and Oku-san, working together well to make their vision into a reality.

The same thing happened with VL the Evolution (VLE) and literally every other good stage. Except... I feel the script kinda got out of hand with too much liberty where it feels a bit more disconnected from canon. But! It makes up for it in its content, whether comedic or (INCREDIBLY) dramatic! It’s great as its own story at that point. So in this case, I like to take the first VL and get to connect it canon, while I don’t know what the hell happened in VLE to the point I’ll just enjoy it as its own content.

These opinions deserve its own essay, post whatever bc I have SO much to say abt this. ANYWAY. VL ADACHI

---

Tohru Adachi is portrayed by Masami Itou (伊藤マサミ), a screenplay writer, director and an stage actor himself. He does have a single character voice role along with a fellow troupe member in the same franchise, but mostly works as the former three. He is part of Asanuma-san’s entertainment group “bpm.” On a similar note, Masashi Taniguchi, Dojima’s actor, was also part of their group from 2011 to 2016, which may explain their good synergy as the boss and the bumbling fool dynamic. I mean, somebody’s gotta get hit in the head every few skits.

With Masami-san being an important part of the cast, he doesn’t appear as often as Taniguchi-san in backstage content like the VL bonus disk or the official blog. Mentioned in his own personal blog, he had been busy with his roles as assistant director (I am assuming also for VL).

Also fun to note, because his role is mainly comic relief, he has been using his liberty to change up the material almost everyday making each performance exciting. This also leaves some other actors jealous of his freedom in his role, such as Saotome-san, Daisuke’s actor.

---

VL Adachi really has a... how do I say this? an adorable speech pattern (THE SAME SPEECH PATTERN THAT DROVE ME MAD TRYING TO DECIPHER I THOUGHT YOU WERE A CITY BOY OSSU OSSU MY ASS /shakes you violently/). Overall, he really fits the loose lipped bumbling fool, and his accent really makes him seem more casual and invested. What I’m saying is... VL Adachi either actually has genuine empathy or he actually has more energy to fake it (compared to some other edgelord. i mean you saw my p4ga analysis. I’m sick of him lol ahaha).

One of my favorite ways to explain this (OTHER THAN CHAIR CAR ADVENTURE MY BELOVED WE’LL GET TO THAT LATER) is the rice field scene with him and Dojima. It’s overanalyzation time 🎉

(43:04)

While investigating, Adachi whines about being tired while Dojima smacks him in the head. In this case, it’s established that Adachi doesn’t want to be there, yes? It’s the country, it’s hot and it smells like green.

"Ah... Dojima-san..! Why don't we take a break? (...) There really is nothing out here... Is the criminal still even here at all? (...) I wonder if I've passed being a rookie yet. Haha, but this city doesn't even have convenient transportation. I can't go to leisure lands (recreation, amusement parks, arcades, ect.) and head home at all."

Adachi then tries to tell Dojima a story. “when I got to this city after being newly assigned, I met an interesting guy (...) Yeah, I remember that the cherry blossoms haven't bloomed yet. So, I was driving my car and got near the station and--” Dojima gets a phone call.

Adachi politely puts his hands down waiting for his boss to finish so he can finish the story. Again and again, Adachi attempts to talk to Dojima about a story he’s so persistent trying to tell someone about. It was so 面白い that he would find someone to talk to about it. Even being polite and patient enough to wait for a chance to speak. He even gets fed up with it and blows up in front of his boss, clearly irritated he’s not given a chance to talk.

Sure, it could be Adachi feeling fed up like a normal person where someone agreed he to listen to him, before being constantly ignored. Or Adachi trying to be a more annoying whiny brat, depending on where you look at it.

If the story wasn’t too “interesting” to Adachi, he would’ve just brushed it off and stopped talking to Dojima entirely, or start up new small talk, or even complain some more. But no, he had a story he wanted to voice out so bad that he got irritated that the one person in the vicinity couldn’t listen to him.

Only after Dojima told him to continue their investigation elsewhere did Adachi finally stop and focus on something else. Maybe that story was for another day, or maybe it was never meant to be told.

What if it was just original (game) Adachi? He’d find a way to squirrel out of the investigation as usual, or push Dojima to “investigate” elsewhere. “Hey boss, don’t you think it’s hot? Why don’t we go elsewhere? We’ve seen this place too many times to count and I doubt anything new’ll turn up. How about we take a break at Junes, y’know? Where it’s cool? C’mon boss,” something like that.

og Adachi is just really annoying and silly to me. Some grown man thinking he can freeload because he never gets anything out of putting in more energy and effort? I don’t care how tall he is, I will smack him in the head.

Yeah VL Adachi whines, too, but at least it doesn’t look like he’s going to escape and waste his time somewhere else. He just sucks it up stops trying to leave the situation.

Or maybe I’m getting this all wrong and VL is exactly the same and my rage just gets dampened because of Masamisan’s execution of character hmm...

SO. What was his story about anyway? The one he really wanted to share to Dojima?

I mean... it’s obvious enough

First day in town? Spring? Actually mentioned driving a car when literally out of every single persona 4 media at the time was there not a SINGLE mention of Adachi having a car OTHER THAN the same stageplay it’s being mentioned in?

A story, from somewhere around uhh four? five months ago? was something that he remembered so dearly and was willing to share despite it obviously embarrassing him even if he puts the blame on a certain somebody in the same story?

Or maybe it’s because he really had nothing to talk about ever since he realized all his stories from the city weren’t actually that funny or interesting in the first place.

BUT then that would mean out of all the things he could talk about—more whining, complaining, complimenting, small talk—he insisted about talking about this story in particular.

Okay, look. I’m just. Just. As someone who talks too much, of course I have things I actually want people to hear out of all the bullshit that comes out of my mouth. And if the thing I actually want people to listen to doesn’t even get heard, I’d go mad.

Sure, Adachi’d be fine when his complaints or intentionally unfunny jokes get brushed off. But a story of a guy that he thought was so funny, interesting, 面白い gets ignored, he really blew up, even just for a split second, maybe.

And ALL the things that happened in that story—on his first day in Inaba! His car got dented, he had to deal with a weirdo dumbass employee that knew zero personal space, yelled in his ear, who didn’t know how to do their job, got his station reputation messed up on the first day, got his ass grabbed, got (unintentionally?) mocked for his lame stories, and got his car dented for the SECOND time. Probably MORE

And he STILL wanted to talk about it /punches through concrete wall/

yes I’m overthinking about this of course i am

This little tidbit of VL Adachi kinda makes me go insane sometimes—his entire characterization in VL in particular. It was really refreshing to see and how they included both of his characters in it, his facade and how irritated he is of a lot of things underneath. And how flexible his character is immediately working with other characters when there’s sudden improv to balance the situation. Like him and Dojima, Morooka, the attendant, or even Yuuya (hero) himself.

I’ll take Taniguchi-san’s messing around in the VL bonus backstage disc in place of Masami-san being so busy he couldn’t appear in it as often as other characters.

For stagetime that lasted for fifteen minutes or less, my appreciation for VL Adachi, even if he was just comic relief, really rocketed. I say VL, bc Adachi the edgelord he’s supposed to be in literally every other media is something I analyze separately.

I haven’t even gotten to VLE oh my GODDDDD

Like I said, I don’t really regard VLE close to canon but as something to be appreciated for what it is by itself. But the way Adachi was characterized there, in or out of character, still struck me.

Yes, there was his strange fan-agreed-canon which is,,, now canon obsession with cabbages (not that that’s a bad thing lmao). There was also him being a lot more jumpy and intimate in a clowny way, patting people on the shoulder or even downright hugging them just to mess around. Even FORGETTING who the same goddam loser who grabbed his ass almost a year ago is. But like, can’t blame him they literally changed their actor (and screenplay writer) AHAHAHA

ha... no more comedy, only dorky sword fights now

(speaking of sword fights I think it’s a fun thought how Mamiya-san [Izanami, also one of the youngest in the cast] admitted it was his first time doing sword fight choreography and even thanked Masami-san and other staff members for guiding him)

One thing unintentionally in character was Adachi accidentally nabbing the sushi overdosed in wasabi. Masami-san didn’t actually account for a joke sushi and didn’t immediately eat it—until Taniguchi-san (who also made Dojima go off his shits compared to VL) jokingly yelled at him and even riled up the audience for him to eat it. He even went off stage to get water just for him to eat the goddam sushi.

And Masami-san did! (kinda choked, but he’s fine).

Continuing from the same scene, while being overly giddy about sushi dinner (and I mean overly--he was singing about it while hopping to the Dojima residence), he tried to remind the two, Dojima and Hayato (hero), that Nanako was sleeping. Probably where she was sick if the scene was translated from the game.

(30:07)

And... the dramatic parts of VLE

Adachi was the one who reported to the IT that Dojima was chasing Namatame in the rain. While Naoto was discussing Namatame’s journal entries, Adachi, as giddy as he is, took it from Naoto’s hands and reveled in the discovery of evidence so childishly(?). He even ran to Dojima when he began regaining consciousness and immediately called the nurses to help him wheel Dojima to the ER.

Then, The Hospital Scene™️, right after Nanako flatlines.

(1:02:02)

Adachi, who recently walked into the scene, immediately worries about Dojima and IT who were ALL crying. He looks down, devastated—before yelling how Dojima’s heading to Namatame’s room.

He yells in terror and the same grief at his injured boss, all while running past and even jumping over children, who fell to the ground sobbing, to get to him. He continues yelling in a pained fashion while immediately reprimanding Dojima to stop. He gets carried by the collar before being tossed to the ground at Hayato’s feet, all while being pat by the same boy.

Dojima makes his speech about how unfair it is for the ‘killer’ to be alive when his daughter isn’t. When he finally falls to his knees, Adachi rises from the ground, humbly saying he’ll do his best to take care of Dojima (or something like that I’m in tears I literally can’t do VLE’s hospital scene i h8 this). He finally starts crying along with everyone else, being pushed away again but still tries again, trying to usher his boss away from the door.

With the help of the guard in front of the door, they all disappear off stage

please... I know this scene doesn’t need that much translation because of how important this scene is in the entire story. and I know my narratives aren’t enough so just,,,, just watch it please it’s so much more than this. everyone’s acting was just spectacular

(1:08:47)

So, after the IT (YOSUKE. JUST YOSUKE. good job Mae-chan) stop themselves from k wording Namatame, it was ADACHI who reported Nanako’s miracle recovery. He ran to the same corridor where they all cried in, even panting and falling to the ground in relief trying to report the good news. Then he pats Hayato on the shoulder and says he’s going to Dojima.

With this... /slaps roof of half of VLE/ ALL of this....adachi.... adachisan.... he Cares™️..... holy shit.....

now. comparing to the game. do you even remember what og Adachi did? did he.. even do anything?????

(56:39)

NO!!! he just stood there!!!! being a bumbling fool but.... inappropriately!!! man. he didn’t act concerned enough.

adachi: /walks into a bunch of kids crying outside a hospital room/ “lmao why tf are y’all crying? did uhhh what’s her face uhhh nanako. did she d word or something? rip, I guess lol” LIKE????? CAN YOU IMPLY FASTER

and then he’s like “wgat hmm Where’s Dojima-san Heading Because That’s Not The Way To His Room 🤔” and only when he’s asked he actually mentions he’s heading to Namatame’s room and still needs to get choked by a first year for the room number like..... zero consideration

and his boss??? where his daughter he loves so much just??? di*s???? and he’s so devastated he’s doing what he can that very moment while he’s so numbed of thinking of the consequences???? And adachi goes “uhh boss that’s illegal” LIKE. BITCH. /punches through a concrete wall but harder/

---

And??? His confrontation scene??? Like, I know they mashed it up w his tv confession scene to save stagetime for other scenes BUT IT WAS SO MMBMBMBMMGN /gestures in a good way/

(1:15:56)

UM?? guy behind everything??? in a vulnerable area where he could easily get physically assaulted bc hes not in the tv world w his persona?? Trash talks women like he absolute misogynist he is??? getting yelled at by a bunch of kids and YELLING BACK IN THE SAME AGITATED MANNER even TAUNTING THEM then and there to GET HIS ASS?????

og Adachi was such a pussy he got caught and just scurried off into the TV world where he ended up having powers like...ok....scared of getting beat down by a bunch of highschoolers unless you have powers...ok....

he only taunted them to get him when he was in the tv world too.....he rlly couldn’t say shit in the real world huh... lol

(yeah yeah this shows how VLE Adachi knew abt his TV world powers which would make you think if he ever went into the tv world and came back out alive. Or he’s really just a badass who doesnt give a shit abt anyone’s opinions and CAN beat anyone’s ass. i have a separate thing abt this but bc i like to laught at vle rather than overthink its own lore i might. not. idk lol)

and ??? VLE Adachi can??? He can swordfight??? he doesn’t even NEED a gun—he even reflects bullets w his blade (but apparently he can still get slapped by a flying fan more often than any other attack). His fight choreo was just...so poggers. He’s like short villains done good—like??? he’s short compared to everyone else!!! but he makes up for it for stuffing all the energy inside him while is bursts out making him him the over energetic gremlin he is!!! go VL adachi!!!!

(am I low key making fun of Madono-san in the TUUSH stageplay I’ve seen four minutes of? maybe)

OK!!! Yes I was gushing abt Masami-san again back to Adachi.

It’s portrayed that while not being afraid to admit his crimes, he also goes out of his way to be a bastard and have the gall to get a bunch of kids to fight him, one on eight. He can use a katana, probably a narrative dark reflection of the hero, Hayato which I thought was nice—and he can fight!!! It also shows his persona, yes, but...it doesn’t make it clear if he’s overwhelmed by his Shadow like in the game, where his eyes were yellow and he was emitting a dark aura.

But it gets interesting how he sees he’s getting overwhelmed and starting to lose his edge towards a bunch of kids. He falls to the ground even banging the floor like a whiny brat while literally the IT tries to tell him to turn himself in. Again, like a brat he tells everyone to shut up—before getting incapacitated. While some of the IT rejoice, he bolts up unaccepting of his defeat—before getting hit in the stomach.

(1:23:54)

And his words from when he drops his katana, “Why..?” He grabs the foldable chair against his stomach, and with a remorseful look in his eyes, he says “I’m sorry..!”

THEN HE BACKFLIPS—then Hayato slashes him.

In a tone of disbelief, he goes “no way...” and collapses to the ground, being possessed by Ame-no-Sagiri.

Blah blah blah then Teddie rockets himself into the eyeball spy cam and then they both explode aaaaa

Teddie survives but I really don’t know where Adachi went. Not even a mention by Dojima if he turned himself in or was ever found—or I need to review VLE for the 48274827482nd time hehe

WHOO then the whole cast appears for the dance number at the end of show YAHOO

@thedetectiveofinaba​ gets a Christmas present that’s on time (Twin AU edition)

When everyone gave gifts to each other, Hayato gave the rest of the team and the Dojima family their presents, but left Naoto out. Honest mistake, as it had slipped her mind. That, and she didn’t want to embarrass Naoto with her present, because then she’d have to open it in front of them and— Nobody noticed, fortunately.

She pulls Naoto away from the center of the party, to the small kitchen in the Dojima house and hands her a meticulously wrapped package. Hiding it was hard, but it was eventually hid in the designated ‘No Naotos Allowed to Snoop’ zone of the apartment. “Merry Christmas, Naoto. I got you something too. You don’t have to open it now, but do you remember when we watched Godzilla and we thought the dinosaur monster was really cool? And remember how you had this stuffed dinosaur you really liked?”

Naoto can definitely see where she’s going with this. “Well... I got you a Godzilla plushie.”

And here’s the part where she has to be sentimental and not ruin everything. “I uh, got it for you to celebrate our new bond. A lot has happened during this case,” wonder what that would be, “but I think it was good for us. Like we can become... real sisters now. I mean, we are real sisters but the bond is... you get what I mean.”

Of course she has to mess up.

“So... thank you for being my sister. Even you’re too overprotective sometimes, and even if there is a good reason behind it. But really... thank you.”

Things will be different now. She can feel it.

Ini adalah dorama pertama yg saya review di tahun 2018

Di opening episode 1 diperlihatkan ada sebuah kapal pesiar yg sedang merayakan Christmas Eve. Kapal pesiar tersebut isinya orang2 kaya. Ayah Otaro sebagai kapten kapal tersebut, Otaro dan Kota mengendap2 untuk masuk ke dalam kapal yg dikemudikan ayah mereka.

Tiba2 ada guncangan besar dan kapal pesiar tersebut mulai tenggelam!

Otaro Doujima, seorang anak yg sedang menggandeng adiknya Kota keluar karena banyak air dalam kapal. Saat itu dia melihat seorang gadis kecil sedang pingsan, Otaro menolong gadis kecil tersebut. Sayang sekali, Kota tertinggal karena mengambil sepatunya yg terlepas. Dia tidak mendengar instruksi kakaknya untuk cepat menyusul dan tiba2 pintu terbuka lalu Kota diterjang air dan meninggal.

Beberapa tahun kemudian Otaro sudah dewasa, kehidupannya kacau balau sejak kematian adiknya. Keluarganya terpecah belah, ayahnya menjadi tersangka atas tenggelamnya kapal pesiar tersebut sehingga Otaro memutuskan menjadi Host di sebuah Narcissus Club.

Yamaken disini benar2 brengsek, mengencani banyak perempuan untuk mendapatkan uang hahaha

Bagi fans Yamaken, harus kuat nonton dorama ini karena banyak kissu wanita

Hingga Saiko Sato sang kissing woman muncul. Dia tiba2 mencium Otaro lalu jantung Otaro berhenti sejenak. Tak lama, waktu berputar mundur dan Otaro kembali hidup. Mengejutkan ternyata Otaro kembali ke 1 minggu sebelumnya. Otaro mengira dia hanya mimpi tapi itu bukan mimpi, dia hanya kembali ke 1 minggu sebelum di cium oleh Saiko.

Awalnya Otaro bingung tapi dia bisa 'memanfaatkan Saiko' untuk mendapatkan yg dia inginkan.

Mikoto Namiki datang ke Narcissus Club, kabar tersebar dengan cepat diantara para Host Narcissus. Karena Mikoto adalah pewaris 10 billion. Otaro pun mendekati Mikoto dengan memanfaatkan Saiko, dia memperbaiki kesalahan sehingga Mikoto menyukai Otaro.

Tidak hanya itu, ternyata tenggelamnya kapal pesiar tersebut ada hubungan dengan Takauji Namiki, pria yg akan menikahi Mikoto.

Serta si pengemis yg ngamen itu juga ada peran penting

Cerita ini ga biasa cuma ya agak aneh tapi seru kok untuk diikuti

Review ini juga saya tulis di fairytophia425.blogspot.com
