Gambling Apocalypse Tenma AU

As I rewatch Kaiji I inevitably end up wanting to combine show I like with other show I like and stuffing fav characters into show. So here we are.

This was uh going to be a short summary type thing but I accidentally wrote a novella about it sorry

This AU starts off with a much more depressive Tenma. After Tobio's death, rather than immediately pour his grief into developing a robot version of his son, he recedes into himself, psychologically paralyzed, likely turning to alcohol to drown out his anguish.

His mental state is taken as an opportunity within the Ministry of Science to have him ejected from his position; Tenma was never the most well-liked director, and there were those with ambition to usurp him that would jump at the chance. Not that he especially cares in his state.

He's eventually dragged out of his stagnation by Ochanomizu - who, inadvertently, becomes the very catalyst pushing Tenma to develop a robot replacement to his child. This was not what he meant by encouraging Tenma to fill the void left by his son.

...But, well, he is no longer the director of the Ministry of Science. His access to limitless government funds and resources for "scientific research" has been cut off, and this is a project he cannot finance on his own. He can't ask Ochanomizu for help, but...interestingly...a representative of a certain shady organization known as the Teiai Corporation reaches out to him, offering to finance and support his project. A sane and well-minded Tenma might think better of it, but grieving and desperate, Tenma accepts their offer and is able to create a robot in the image of his beloved Tobio. For a while, there's joy in his life.

But the bill, as ever, comes due: Tenma must pay up, and the very resources that had been at his disposal will certainly ensure that he will, or else. Of course, he doesn't have the money; instead, he is given a choice. He can relinquish the robot Tobio in order to wipe out his debt - the child is a sophisticated and powerful robot, after all - or he can participate in a certain illicit event hosted by the Teiai Corporation.

It's nothing major...just a four-hour gambling cruise with a collection of desperate, damned souls that were also swept into debt with Teiai. The conditions are simple: Those who choose to participate are given a chance to clear their debts wholesale should they win. And should they lose...?

Well...no one really knows what happens to the losers seized by Teiai. It's said that they labour away their debts under Teiai's watchful eye and are freed once their work has covered their debts, though it's rumoured that most perish before they reclaim freedom.

There's only one answer Tenma can give, of course; he's not willing to lose Tobio again.

Thus is Tenma's debut into the Gambling Apocalypse, where he must become cutthroat in order to survive; if he wants to see his son again, he must make choices that will doom the hapless to miserable servitude, with a nonzero chance it ends in their death.

He survives the cruise, but of course, it was hardly enough to clear his debt; the cruise was never going to be the end of it. Teiai doesn't let go of its victims that easily. He will be called on again: this is a weight that hangs over him, all while he returns to his son Tobio. The same hands that have pushed innocents into hell must now be the hands that can embrace his child.

He wants to protect Tobio from the truth and enjoy what peaceful moments he's allowed with his son, but it's difficult. It's difficult to be the parent of a child who cannot understand the danger that looms ahead; this "happy" home is not to last. Tenma angers quickly and easily. He turns that anger onto Tobio.

As Teiai's games become more and more vicious and unrelenting, as his conscience holds onto the last vestiges of thread that remain, Tenma even threatens, once, to give the boy in: it would all end, then; the debt would be clear and no longer would he have to endure Tobio's childish annoyances, his ungratefulness.

The next time that Tenma is beckoned, Tobio takes matters into his own hands. He does understand, now; and he would have, if only Tenma had bothered to explain sooner. If it's a debt that needs clearing, he will work. He will help his father clear his debts however he can. Of course, it's difficult to find work as a child; but a circus troupe finds amusement in the idea of a child robot, and takes him in. He is whisked into a certainly unpleasant working situation, but he remembers his father, and what he must be enduring. Tobio, also, will endure.

When Tenma returns, Tobio is gone.

All that held Tenma back from becoming something monstrous has disappeared. All that kept him going has disappeared. When he is called upon by Teiai, there is no knowing what sort of person might come out the other end; whether a monster clawing his way to freedom regardless of what actions he must take, or a desolate husk surrendering defeat.

There is still a light, however dim: Found by Professor Ochanomizu and rescued from the circus, Tobio - now Atom - is able to shed light on the situation which Tenma took great pains to keep hidden from his old friend. With time running out, Ochanomizu and Atom must do what they can to save Tenma - from Teiai, and from himself.

-----

UHHH and that's a wrap!!!! I couldn't quite decide which way Tenma would go after hitting Rock Bottom in this AU, and tbh it would really depend on the kind of mental state he's in at the time. On the one hand I like the narrative of Ochanomizu and Tobio racing to prevent Tenma from crossing a line (actual outright murder probably) - or having to pull him back into humanity (and yknow, his ensuing penance)

But on the other hand having him get sent to Teiai Evil Hell Prison would be interesting because a) there's a lot of narrative potential having Tenma faced with what Teiai is doing with the people that lose the games and b) need him to decimate the foreman at chinchirorin Kaiji style

Tenma's whole character is definitely a much different guy in this AU, he starts off pretty sympathetic, the guy you wanna root for, he just ends up having an inverse character arc where he gets worse instead of better. His conflict with "Tobio" is also kind of reversed, less about being unsatisfied with Tobio as a son and more not being able to handle the fact that he probably has intense PTSD now and isnt capable of coping with it in a way conducive to being a parent (or like, coping at all)

Anyway that's gambling apocalypse tenma!!!

#umataro tenma #long post #well that became a novel. sorry lmao #in my mind teiai's evil hell prison in astro boy verse would probably be quite a bit different than regular kaiji #like. fuckin. weapons manufacturing for teiai or something like that. or scary bad danger robots. horrifying concept #Tenma would be a valuable asset to them whether by giving up Atom or by losing in death game hell and being forced to work for em #and if he dies? they can just take atom #get him out of there. #I'm also thinkin of who Teiai would be represented by.....the snakey loan sharks u could easily put skunk in there. #but who is an evil fucked up sadist billionaire. theres probably someone who could be fucked up enough I just dont know offhand #and im allergic to mischaracterizing in AUs lol im not gonna make a slightly bad guy into an evil freakguy. so. Hyoudou is just himself. #if you squint this could be considered an 80s astro boy AU..has a cruise arc & not actually giving atom away #but man. that tenma LEAST of all deserves this fate lmao #do I want to write fic of this? yes. will I? not likely! #I can just smell it dude this would be some crazy fuckoff 100k shit I am not ready brother #also it would just be soooooo so so so so so edgy. I dont really enjoy writing intensely grim stuff w/ little to no respite #also tbh. I am too stupid. LOL. I cannot write clever gambles alas

[crescentfool]

thinking about what a kensa squiffer would've been like...

#splatoon #splatoon 3 #toni kensa #splatoon oc #minatoast #lizzy does art #hi everyone. i can already hear the comparisons to what game this looks like. LMAO. u can tag it as that if u want. #wanted to do limited color kind of thing. i think i did a little bit of cheating though (tone scrapers + some slight airbrushing) #if it's not already apparent... toni kensa is my favorite brand in splatoon LMAO im just!! obsessed with them #and i think it explains a lot about the visual aesthetics that im drawn to #it was fun to draw like this!!! i think i want to try like actual greyscale and not just b/w + accent only at some point #also when will they give squiffer a second kit!! i would humbly like an inkjet or trizooka as it's special #i think that it'd be really nice for squiffer to be able to poke longer range weapons and whatnot #i like the current kit it's a classic but i'd really like to have better entry tools what am i supposed 2 do with point sensor #ANYWAY!! im having fun with art :) im going to try and experiment with color and shapes!! hpoefully. u all stay swag!

[toestalucia]

No real thoughts on the new salmon run stage except for that its at least Decent; marooners bay continues to be the worst salmon run map ever yippee

#chattin #actually i do have thoughts but i need to get to a higher hazard level to really see how good or bad it is #its easy to juke salmonids but its very Big and Wide #so multiple stingers and flyfish coordinating on different shorelines is Hell #the ink trails are janky if ur not used to them but theyre VERY good. it gives u lots of height when jumping so u can get on top of ufos #pathing seems to be a little mean sometimes; i was running away from a scrapper #and jumped to the center basket area #and then fell down maybe 4 seconds later and it was STILL there and i died #so far alot of my deaths are just falling into a swarm below bc theyre not pathing correctly #uhh #flyfish sticks arent really a threat; they like to go in the water and next to elevated spots but im sure it would be hell w inkbrush #i have NOT gotten glowflies or grillers but this map is evil #im sure youll need to use the inktrails to avoid them #ALSO cohock charge is mean bc the cannons are centered; not placed in the back #so my strategy of ‘stay by the shore to distract maws from cannon friends’ doesnt work. bc ur surrounded #but like so far the map seems nice :) lots of ways to juke salmonids and lure bosses #the sheer amount of tiny ledges makes it really nice #like i said; ive only died to falling in a swarm i didnt think was there #but otherwise its a breeze getting to and from the shore and juggling eggs #well see what happens when i get bad weapons #OH YEAH. the douse dualies are insane #decent damage and GREAT range #like dualie squelchers on crack #and the dapple dualie fire rate after a roll is incredible #OH I LIED. i have died in other ways. specifically by misjudging how FAR the dodge roll takes u #i fell into water like 4 times bc of it 😭

Once again left with No Thoughts after the ending of a Resident Evil game beyond "What the fuck was that"

#You think I would be used to the fact all these games end with grotesque monsters and the MC getting a OP weapon to kill them but uuuhhh #JILL WITH THE GIGANTIC FUCKING RAIL GUN??? THAT BARELY MAKES HER FLICN/H??? #LIKE YEAH IT LOOKED COOL BUT E X C U S E ME???? #Jill Valentine is the strongest RE protagonist?? #anyway code veronica is on sale for like 3 bucks so i guess i'll conceed and get it and give it a try #also maybe operation raccoon city cuz it's also on sale and the only other one i don't have #i still need to finish the re2 remake and play through 6 as well #rambles

[amygdalae]

God I wanna replay horizon zero dawn, but I know if I do that's just gonna make me wanna replay forbidden west again lmao

#i miss going on weird sexually charged bandit murder sprees with Nil #i really do like the horizon games a lot. i dont often have much to say about them other than that theyre fun and Aloy is cool lol #also that i love the mechanic where u can get more loot by targeting specific machine parts with weapons that inflict tear damage #big metal beast. give me all of your treasures. i shoot at your little weak points like a dartboard thank u

[forgetful-storyteller]

Okay but. What is tgcs long term goal. Because I'm really starting to think they don't have one,, everything they do seems to be building them up to a point where no one wants to play sky anymore?? Everything they do feels like massive self sabotage? It just feels too stupid on their part for it to be a coincidence and yet. It probably is. And sky is going to keep succeeding as a game because no matter what happens and no matter what they do, people only talk about it for a few days and then go back to playing like normal. It's like they know that no one will actually do anything to stop them,, they know no amount of people will stop playing "just because" of whatever the reason of the week is. They can just keep getting worse and worse and worse

#sep talks #GENUINELY. I think genshin is a better game at this point #they r such similar games at this point that I do think it's fair to compare them #genshin at least is like. Not hiding the fact that it's a game that exists purely to make money #but at least they make it enjoyable. Every event has clearly had thought put into it #every new character too #there's no part of genshin that feels like a truly worse experience without spending money #it doesn't have the panic factor sky does with limited time iaps #genshin motivates players to spend money by having new and exciting characters with shiny new skins #and well you got your character why not get their signature weapon too? #genshin is a gambling game like any other gacha but like. The want to gamble is coming from love for a character #or the idea that this specific character will help u be better at the game/do more damage #sky makes u spend money bc of. The fear of missing out #they make a cool new item and list it at some exorbitant price and then give it a time limit before it never comes back #and BAM suddenly everyone wants it #it's not even always for the item. It's because the item is limited time only #same for the season pass + such #idk. Sorry I need to stop making these posts but it's rlly so frustrating #I know everyone loves sky I KNOW. But where is ur breaking point? What do they have to do?? #tgc could call someone a slur and it would be The Controversy for all of a week and then everyone would forget abt it #and keep playing like normal

hoyo: "long-term hard combat stuff gives our players anxiety uwu"

what actually gives players anxiety: events that take a lot of time that are only around for a week or two, having to run an artifact domain 4854615451 times to get one good piece for their fave character, losing 50/50s on a character they rly want (and yeah I get that that's what encourages people to spend money, but if there's no money babe what do u think happens? they stop playing cause they're sad/pissed off/frustrated lol)

what for sure wouldn't cause anxiety in normal players: a fully optional endgame combat domain that actually shows off all the hard work people put into their characters

#not saying genshin should turn into one of those shitty games #where u have to buy a certain character to clear content #but why should people pull for new characters if it means shit? #if there's nothing to showcase the work put into them? #the potential MONEY to get constellations and weapons #let alone the time taken in the domains #i've been running xiao domain since i got him last banner #and i STILL don't have perfect artifacts for him #i had to give up my anemo goblet bc I couldn't get a good on set sands #so i gave him atk goblet bc it had good subs #and none of them rolled crit so in the end #the piece is still absolute trash!!!! #but i haven't been able to build any other characters bc I spend all my resin on xiao domain!!! #at this point i might run it every once in a while to upgrade goblet or if I get the atk sands #but im so tired of being in that shit every day I'm gonna wait for strongbox #which is ALSO absolute shit but it is what it is lol #at least i could put my resin into zhongli and and my other supports

reminder that fíli and kíli are both older than bilbo by a few decades each and that they probably see him as a little brother and that's why they mess with him so much/are so protective of him fjsbsjfj

#fili telling bilbo not to cut himself on his weapons breaks me bc he sees him as so. little and Young help me😭 #dwarf ages are so interesting and cool but it gives me whiplash when i remember that fili is literally like 31 years older than bilbo #can u imagine how excited kili must have been to not be the youngest in the company tho??? omgggg #txt #i love the. them

My teacher said I should try making some of the symbolism in my art less obvious but like.. idk how? Or how that would benefit it?

#stupid snake talk #like especially the knife #he was like ‘we all know what a knife means in art.. what if u made it smth else’ #but it’s like.. idk the knife isn’t the important part of the symbolism it’s just a tool to use there #I do not need the audience to come to the conclusion that the feminine one is dying #I need them to come to the conclusion of WHY she is dying #what does this death of feminity represent? #like I can’t see a way where I could replace the weapon with something else and have it convey what I want it to convey #it’s already not exactly a very easy thing for someone to understand unless they have specific understanding of the experience of trans ppl #and more specifically non-binary trans ppl.. #so idk if I want to make it even less obvious #I don’t think it needs to be either #like what’s the benefit of making it less obvious.. art doesn’t need to be hidden to have great meaning #not to mention it’s ‘give tangible form to feeling and idea’ #I do not feel like I am metaphorically laying my feminine side down gently in her grave #I am violently and unjustly stabbing her in the back after she has given her heart to me #that is how I FEEL #I do not need to change it.. it would no longer be personal #I know he explicitly told me that I didn’t HAVE to take that advice but it pissed me off anyway..

@mysticallities said: "Oh! What a nice rifle you have! Mind... teling me how you maintain it?" A curious Shifty appears! (For Nobunaga~)

"I know right?! It's pretty sweet!" She laughs - not minding the sudden intrusion in the slightest. Nobunaga certainly wasn't one to turn down any amount of attention, even if it was mostly towards the gun.

Though she couldn't take any credit for inventing what was a revolutionary weapon in her time - there was still a fair amount of pride for having seen its usefulness in a time were everyone had called it useless.

"Hey, you wanna give a try together?" a wave of her hand, and another rifle drops from nowhere, aiming to land in the arms of her curious visitor.

"Nooot that these things really need looking after when I can make new ones - mind you. But this should help bring back some old memories !"
