The under appreciated shuake dynamic of Akira looking Akechi straight in the eye and telling him a lot of the people he killed probably deserved it.
*coughs in Okumura*
edit: Turns out Okumura isn't as bad as I thought, annoyingly since I still hate him very much. The localisation says that he's responsible for most of the mental shutdowns (which, ???).
This turns out to be a little inaccurate. Okumura is not responsible for most of the shutdowns, but for most of the "odd suspicious cases that aren't accidents or illnesses" that Sae was investigating—presumably things like the naked guy at Wild Duck Burger:
Yusuke
新島検事はまず、一連の連続事件のうち、明らかに事故や病気でない『不審なもの』を抜き出している。
niijima-kenji wa mazu, ichiren no renzoku jiken no uchi, akiraka ni jiko ya byouki de nai "fushinna mono" o nukidashiteiru
First, Prosecutor Niijima has been looking into the continued cases of people suddenly collapsing.
[lit. Public Prosecutor Niijima has, first of all, extracted odd suspicious cases that were obviously not accidents or illnesses from the continuing series of incidents.]
First of all, Prosecutor Niijima has been looking into a subset of the incidents—the peculiar cases that obviously weren't accidents or illnesses.
Yusuke
それらに共通点が無いかを探っていたらしい。
sorera ni kyoutsuuten ga nai ka o sagutteita rashii
It seems she [was] searching for a common thread to tie them all together.
Yusuke
憶測の部分もあるようだが、過半数の事件で大きな利益を得る立場にあった存在を特定している。
okusoku no bubun mo aru you da ga, kahansuu no jiken de ookina rieki o eru tachiba ni atta sonzai o tokutei shiteiru
Some parts seem to be speculation, but she has cited a beneficiary of the majority of these incidents.
... and that beneficiary is Okumura Foods and its CEO Okumura, of course.
Now, we know that Okumura was responsible for deaths—there's at least one case where a car overturns and all four passengers, including a VP of one of Okumura's competitors, are killed. (If you're keeping count for Akechi, that's four dead in one day alone.) Okumura is Thoroughly Unpleasant. He's just not "responsible for most of the mental shutdowns that went on for years" unpleasant.
I think I have this translation right. It makes sense, for one thing, that Okumura was responsible for most of the weird scandals. It doesn't make sense that he was responsible for most of the mental shutdowns.
This one is a little shorter as we feed in the characters absent from the last round.
Link for full bracket here!
Rules
Vote for who you think is more queer/gay (doesn't matter if you think they're bi, pan, gay, lesbian, etc. Who's the most not straight!)
I will allow propaganda in the form of asks or notes (tags and comments) or reblogs.
Be nice and respectful. Not everyone has the same headcanons.
Remember, this is mostly just for fun! We have a few submitted characters for this exact purpose, so don't take things too seriously. (It doesn't matter what the results are, most persona characters will be queer-coded in my heart)
On the 4th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me… 4 Actual Children!
Edward Elric
🦾🦿Despite being busy with getting his and his brothers’ bodies back, Ed still made time to celebrate Christmas with Al. Yes, he knows how to celebrate Christmas, and he does enjoy it.
🦾🦿Decorating is pretty easy with his alchemy, but if you really want him to, he’ll put in the effort to decorate normally. Let’s be honest, Al is probably helping. Pre-Promised Day, Al being a 7-foot-tall suit of armor is great for reaching those high places that Ed can’t reach! Ling probably shows up, somehow.
🦾🦿Ed likes Christmas music, but he gets tired of it quickly. Some songs really get on his nerves, though. If he has to listen to one more god-forsaken round of ‘Santa Claus is Coming to Town’, SOMEBODY is going to lose their kneecaps!
🦾🦿I’m not certain if Christmas movies exist in Amestris, but we’re gonna say that they do because honestly who gives a fuck. Ed and Al both love Christmas movies, though Ed can be a bit critical of some of them. Yes, Ed will cuddle you (you could probably sit him in your lap, he’s so short-).
🦾🦿Elric snowball fights are always a riot! Ed tends to get way too competitive, and makes snow weapons of mass destruction with his alchemy. Mistletoe drives him up. The. wall. Trap him under the mistletoe, and he’ll turn every shade of red imaginable! Al is the one who put up all the mistletoe, because he thinks it’s cute.
Charles Grey
🤍💙Charlie. Loves. Christmas. The minute December hits, he’s counting down the days! If ever there was a man who embodied the Christmas Spirit, it’s Charlie!
🤍💙He usually just leaves the decorating up to the servants, but if you insist he’ll join in. Once he tries it out, he actually really enjoys helping decorate!
🤍💙Christmas music CONSTANTLY. If he weren’t so busy being The Queen’s private -hitman- secretary, he would go caroling. He loves to sing Christmas carols! His voice is pretty good; not opera worthy, but at least he can hit the notes properly. Please sing along with him, it would make his day!
🤍💙Christmas movies didn’t exist in the Victorian Era, so how about Christmas plays instead? Yes, Charlie loves them. He got the best seats in the house for the two of you! He does have to keep up a respectable appearance, but he will hold your hand.
🤍💙Charlie loves absolutely everything about Christmas, and he will drag you along to do every Christmas tradition imaginable! He’s got a mile-long checklist, probably. He’s going to trap you under the mistletoe at every opportunity. It’s inevitable. He’s not the best at gingerbread houses, but he’s certainly enthusiastic! He probably uses too much frosting, and his house collapses. It’s fine, he’ll just eat the candy off of it.
Edogawa Ranpo
👓🍬Ranpo enjoys presents and snacks, so of course he likes Christmas! Aside from Kenji, and maybe Atsushi, he’s the most excited for Christmas.
👓🍬Ranpo rarely helps out with the decorating. You may have to beg him. More than likely, you’ll be decorating the office alongside Dazai (who keeps trying to hang himself with the garland), Atsushi, Kunikida (who is SO OCD about the placement of the wreaths), Kenji, Kyoka, and Yosano.
👓🍬Ranpo doesn’t really care about Christmas music. If you want to play it, fine. He won’t stop you.
👓🍬Ranpo loves Christmas movies, but only because he gets to eat snacks and cuddle while watching them! He’ll stay up all night for a marathon if you want, but only if there’s sufficient snacks.
👓🍬Making gingerbread houses with Ranpo is going to end in disaster because he won’t stop eating the fucking candy! You could have sworn you got enough candy for a hundred gingerbread houses, but it’s all mysteriously vanished! He is not one for snowball fights, and would prefer to stay inside drinking hot chocolate.
Rin Okumura
💙🧁Rin and Yukio always celebrated their birthdays and Christmas together, and Rin loves the season! This little cutie is stupidly energetic about absolutely everything, and Christmas is no exception!
💙🧁Rin will take all day decorating with you. Yukio joins in, of course, but he isn’t as enthusiastic about it. It takes the three of you hours just to untangle the lights. Yukio is obsessive about making everything look nice, Rin just wants to put everything everywhere. Kuro gets tangled in the garlands.
💙🧁Christmas music? HELL YEAH! Rin will put Christmas music on while he cooks, and sing it as loud as he can. He also sings in the shower. If he has headphones on, there’s a 90% chance he’s listening to Christmas music loud enough to blow his eardrums out (it’s fine, he can regenerate them).
💙🧁Family movie night! Perhaps even with the whole class? If not, then just you, him, and Yukio (rip Yukio-). Rin loves childish movies, and Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer is his all-time favorite. Yukio has become tired of it from how many times Rin has insisted that they watch it. Cuddles are mandatory. Poor third-wheel Yukio tries his absolute best to ignore the two of you, but sometimes he snaps at you to not try anything. He’s the adult supervision here.
💙🧁Home-made gingerbread houses. And I mean actually home-made. You and Rin do everything from baking and cutting the gingerbread to designing the house itself. He’s probably going to overdo it and make a gingerbread castle! He comes up with increasingly silly plots to get you under the mistletoe. Just go along with it, please. He’s going to make a fool of himself. Snowball fights are an intense, whole-class ordeal. Bon and Rin get a little bit too competitive, and someone probably ends up in the infirmary. Mepphy is probably watching the whole ordeal and laughing about it.

“OK Automotive. That’s a boring name. Shouldn’t it be great automotive or super automotive?” Rin squints at the sign. “Why’d they name it okay?”
Yukio tilts his notepad at the plaque on the wall. “The founder was Otsuka Kenji. That could be why.”
“Huh.”
The guy with green hair they talked to earlier comes jogging back with another guy. “Hey, sorry to keep you waiting. This here’s Kobayashi. Here’s some phone numbers of guys you might want to ask too,” he says, casually passing Rin a bunch of chicken scratch on a paper towel. “They’re not working today. If you all want to chat over here, that’s great. Just don’t block the entrance.” He gives Kobayashi’s back a firm pat and flounces back off to wherever.
“Morning,” Kobayashi booms. “I’m Kobayashi Satoru. Daisuke-san was my close friend.”
Yukio blinks in that startled, rabbit-like manner he does every once in a while, when he runs into a rare human that’s way taller than him. “Thank you. I’m Okumura Yukio, and this is my colleague, Okumura Rin. We’d like to ask you some questions about Tamura-san. Please, have a seat,” he says motioning smoothly at the bench.
He doesn’t sit down next to Kobayashi though, so Rin doesn’t either. Maybe it’s just so they don’t have to crane up at the guy.
Kobayashi is huge and buff, with a kink in his nose probably from being punched. It looks pretty cool. He’s kind of old, but not that old. Rin can’t really tell with all the facial hair.
Yukio goes through some of the same questions as with that Ishida lady from yesterday. Kobayashi tells them a lot about Tamura’s hobbies—fishing, collecting stamps, and drinking—but in the end, he doesn’t mention anything interesting. He doesn’t know the handwriting in the notebook, and he doesn’t know Nakamura or Matsumoto.
It puts Yukio in a foul mood. They head back to their hotel and make calls to all of Tamura’s coworkers on the paper towel. After that, Yukio spends some time inspecting the meager information they gathered while Rin eats snacks. Matsumoto’s notebook sits open on the table between them, basking in Kyoto’s morning sunshine.
The weird thing about Matsumoto’s notebook is that the first half of the notes are in her handwriting. The latter half is a scribbly cursive list of materials, written in thin black pen. That summoning circle was drawn too. Only Matsumoto’s fingerprints were found on the notebook.
“Wait.” Rin sets both hands on the table. “What if whoever wrote this wore gloves? Then, they wouldn’t leave fingerprints.”
Yukio doesn’t look up. “Yes. They would have worn gloves.”
Rin frowns, slouching back in his chair. “Well, maybe we can check Nakamura and Tamura’s belongings. We might find something like this.”
“That could be good.” Yukio runs his fingers over his watch, but he’s still staring at the wall.
Rin busies himself by checking his emails. Shura hasn’t sent him any updates on the… incident in Athens. It’s probably not going well either.
He scrolls through some news headlines on his phone. A celebrity Renzou likes was fined for tax evasion. There will be a lunar eclipse visible in a few days. A new drug to treat colon cancer has been approved.
“What if,” Yukio begins, “we need to be faster than this?”

RELATED: TSUKIMICHI -Moonlit Fantasy- English Dub Announced, Cast and Crew Revealed
Based on the light novel by Miku and U35, The Fruit of Evolution: Before I Knew It, My Life Had It Made is directed by Yoshiaki Okumura at studio Hotline, with series composition by Gigaemon Ichikawa and character designs by Minami Eda.
With a sequel already on the way, there's never been a better time to check out The Fruit of Evolution: Before I Knew It, My Life Had It Made, right here on Crunchyroll!
High school student Hiiragi Seiichi is bullied by his classmates for being a "loser." One day, his entire school is suddenly transported to a video game-like world of swords and sorcery. When he accidentally eats "the Fruit of Evolution," his life as a successful "winner" begins.
Der shy man behind @Shymander, Liam is a timezone-fluid Aussie with a distinct fondness for anime, Eurovision and creating odd stats projects despite hating math.
"I might cry, I, oh my god, she's so small." Ash whispers, gently holding the baby in his arms. He refused to hold her until he was in the safety of the Okumura residence and Kenji's help. She was sleeping soundly against his chest, but it felt like his rapid heartbeat would wake her.
Kenji keeps a steady hand on his shoulder. "You're doing just fine, Ash. You know, I cried when Eiji was born." he smiles as the memory resurfaces. "Nothing could've prepared me for that moment."
"What if I mess up?" Ash mumbles, carefully and gently rubbing her back with his finger. He can feel her breathing, feel that tiny heartbeat and her chest rising and falling rhythmically and all he can think of is how he doesn't want to let go.
"Don't think like that." Kenji reminds him. "It's a learning process for both of you, and I know you'll both be great dads. Also," he leans a little closer and whispers "Aiko told me babies smell fear so if you don't want to wake her up."
A little cruel of him, but Kenji can't help the small chuckle as even more panic flashes in Ash's eyes before he realizes it's a lie. "Don't give me a heart attack, pops." He tries to glare, but he's holding a baby and smiling. Kenji takes in the scene; another former gang leader with an amazing partner and kid. History really does repeat itself.
