"Fuck-" Baji would say as soon as he laid eyes on you slapping the girl, Keisuke would be somewhat surprised to see that he taught you how to fight properly, even so, he would soon go and get you off the girl.
"Stay calm, you're going to end up killing the girl because of me, love." He would say, laughing with concern while pulling you away from her, Baji wouldn't fight with you or much less give you a moral lesson, on the contrary, he would be somewhat proud.
"You're good at fighting, but I don't want to see my wife get into trouble, I'm enough, don't you think?" He would seriously say it when you and him were away from other people.

As soon as he saw you on top of that girl, Kazutora immediately went to get you out of the mess, but he gave you permission to still slap the girl a few times.
"That's enough, apparently, I led you astray, didn't I?" He would say pulling you away from the girl, Kazutora would be extremely pissed if you were hurt, so he made sure you were okay before giving you a "scolding".
"You don't need to go around beating up bitches, I'm yours, you know that. I don't want to see you hurt, are we understood or not?" Holding your face and fixing your hair, he would speak in a serious threatening tone.

It would take Mikey forever to realize that you were the one fighting, but when he did, he would immediately get you off the girl.
"My baby! You're going to end up killing her, come here, come." He would say laughing, pulling you away from the girl and checking if you were hurt.
"Is all this because of me? I didn't even know you were that strong." Manjiro wouldn't reproach you, he would just find the fact that you almost strangled a girl because of him funny, even so, he would ask you not to do things like that anymore, since you could have gotten hurt.

He would go into total despair, Takemichi wouldn't know if it was better to watch the fight or simply separate the two.
"Let go of her, love of my life, please." Takemichi would say, laughing nervously as he pulled you away from that girl, he would be somewhat happy to see two girls fighting because of him, despite that, Takemichi would be worried about your well-being.
"She hurt you? Don't do that again! Imagine if she had been stronger than you? You would end up all broken up like me." He would spend hours giving you a moral lesson and ask every minute if you were hurt or feeling bad.

The first thing Mitsuya would do would be to get you off the girl, even though it wouldn't be that easy a task.
"Calm down, you don't need to fight because of me." He would say in the calmest possible tone of voice while trying hard to get you away from the girl.
As soon as you were calmer, Mitsuya would teach you a huge moral lesson and he would certainly not approve of your attitude, he would be disappointed in you but at the same time he would understand your situation.
"Don't do that again, I don't want my girl in trouble, are we clear?" He would say hugging you, Mitsuya wouldn't be mad at you even if he wanted to.

Hakkai would probably be a little shocked to see you fighting with another girl because of him, but when he came to his senses, he would get you off the girl.
"Holy shit, I never thought you were so strong, you don't need to break the girl's face because of me, sweetheart." He would say, holding back his laughter and at the same time trying to speak seriously, Hakkai would be in such a state of shock that he wouldn't be able to assimilate things.
"Don't do something like that again, you could have gotten hurt, I worry about you." He wouldn't disapprove of your attitude, but Hakkai wouldn't want to see you fighting again, especially because of him.

Deep down, Yuzuha would be a little proud for having taught you how to fight, despite that fact, at the same time she would worry if you ended up getting hurt.
Yuzuha knows very well how to fend for herself, so she would scold you in a certain way, however, she wouldn't stop allowing you to cause a little chaos.
"That's my girl! But don't do anything like that again, I don't want you in trouble, in fact, you could have gotten hurt." The redhead would say in a tone of irony initially, but, she was serious about how worried she was and also didn't want that situation to occur again.
Tumblr media
༚༅༚˳ . ୨୧ . ˳༚༅༚𝐀𝐤𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐮𝐢༚༅༚˳ . ୨୧ . ˳༚༅༚
Akane is not the type of person who supports acts of violence or something, despite that, she was already tired of that girl hitting on her, so, on the one hand, she would be relieved to have you to protect her.
After the fight, Akane would take care of you and not scold you, the blonde would just ask you not to get involved in unnecessary mess anymore.
"You were very brave, but don't do that again! You could have hurt your hand because of that ridiculous girl." Hugging you, she would say gently, giving you a subtle laugh, praising you and at the same time giving you a little moral lesson.

I been lurking around your page for a min now n I love your work!^^ Can you pleaseeee do a taju x chubby reader
yesss, also, I finished my exams finally, so now I have a bunch of free time. I'm definitely gonna post more!!
@caramelswirlwithacherryontop
Taiju x chubby reader
I'll see you on Wednesday at 5:30 sharp. in front of the Underwater aquarium. It's a date.
WOW HE'S DIRECT!
You thought, pretty stunned.
But prior to this text, a few weeks ago, You were with Yuzuha. It was nearing sundown and you were walking beside her, listening to her ramble about whatever. That's how you usually were, you weren't always aware of what's going on but you were happy anyway.
"But Yuzuha, you really didn't have to beat that guy up. It was just a silly comment, you know, just a joke." You laughed nervously, tugging on the sleeves of your uniform.
"Huh, What do you mean?! That bastard totally deserved it. That wasn't a joke, Y/n. That guy insulted you and no way was he gonna get away with it." She muttered before turning to you and continued,
"Hey, you gotta stand up for yourself with guys like that. Because if they get away without it the first time, they'll keep doing it." She scolded you, almost like a mother scolding her child, despite you basically being the same age.
You looked to the side, tearing up, remembering your classmate's rude comment "He wasn't wrong, Yuzuha. I am ugly and fat."
"No no, please don't cry. Y/n, Your worth goes far beyond what you see in the mirror. And I appreciate you for who you are, not just for how you look. Your personality, kindness, and strength are what truly matter. If anything, he is ugly! He is a loser and stupid." She cupped your soft face before wiping away your tears and hugging you tightly.
You laughed at her attempted to insult him,
"Do you wanna go to the park? We can swing for a bit." She suggested, You nodded, excitedly.
On the way to the park, Yuzuha continued rambling about her math teacher and how much she hated the class. The park was in view when Yuzuha stopped walking and muttered,
"Huh? Is that Mitsuya and...Taiju?" Her question made you look up and squint trying to see who was there and she was right.
"Yeah, looks like it." You answered.
Yuzuha started sprinting towards them, "Hey, Mitsuya!" She shouted. He turned towards Yuzuha's call and waved, smiling. Taiju was sitting on one of the benches in the park while Luna and Mana were playing with him. Luna was brushing his hair, putting bright colored extensions and also using bright colored hair ties while Mana was putting fake nails on his nails. The sight was hilarious. Whilst Yuzuha was distracted with Mitsuya, who wasn't far, you were hesitant but you sat next to Taiju. You watched as both girls gave Taiju a makeover. Suddenly, you heard a familiar ring tone.
"Is that-" You were cut off by the two little girls,
"ICE CREAM TRUCK!" They screeched in unison, excited. They both took off running towards and Mitsuya obviously followed before they got lost, leaving you and Taiju alone, together, on the bench. You had spoken to Taiju before, actually, if anything you found yourself always gravitating to him, or admiring him from afar, never admitting your feelings towards him. Even when Yuzuha asked, she didn't mind, she was curious. But An uneasy silence settled between you, punctuated by hesitant glances, revealing the palpable awkwardness in the air. You peeked last time, only to see Taiju struggling to remove the fake nails Mana had put on. He was picking at non-stop.
"You need help with that?" You finally spoke, breaking the silence. He stopped before moving his hands toward you. You grabbed his hand, before gently removing each nail carefully so as not to hurt him.
So soft
He thought as he stared at your face the entire process before his free hand reached up and tugged a strand of hair behind your ear.
"Pretty." He whispered.
Blushing and stammering, you found yourself unexpectedly flustered as the subtle charms of the flirtation caught you off guard, leaving you feeling delightful yet a little disoriented.
"A-alright, I'm done." Accidentally stumbling over words. You looked around, Mitsuya and Yuzuha were nowhere in sight.
Wait, did they leave?
"It's getting late, shouldn't you get home soon." Taiju suddenly said, making you jump.
You scrambled to get on your feet, "Yeah, you're totally right, I'll get going-"
"I'll walk you home." He deadpanned,
"whAt." Your voice cracked,
"It's too dangerous for a pretty girl like you to be walking around at this time. There's plenty of shitty delinquents out there." He explained, standing up, towering over you entirely.
"O-okay, whatever you see best."
"Good girl."
Despite your efforts to hide your growing embarrassment, Your body language betrayed your emotions. avoiding direct eye contact, and occasionally tripping over your words. The unexpected attention left you feeling both surprised and self-conscious, creating a memorable moment of flustered charm. Once you reached your front door, You felt Taiju step closer and lean against you, pinned you against the door itself.
"I'll see you on Wednesday at 5:30 sharp. in front of the Underwater aquarium. It's a date."
His straightforwardness made you also wanna become frank with him. You wanted to be honest and do what your body told you to. You reached out and cupped his face, maintaining eye contact which you were avoiding. In sync with your motion, Taiju leaned in, Your lips met in a tender dance, a silent conversation of longing and connection. Time seemed to pause as the world faded away, leaving only the warmth of the shared moment. It was a gentle collision of emotions, a sweet blend of passion and intimacy that spoke volumes without a single word.
In the meantime, Yuzuha and Mitsuya high-fived somewhere, stalking you guys, and see how long it'll take until one of you makes a move.

Shiba Triangle
Yuzu x reader x Hakkai
Summary: You discover Hakkai likes you but so does one of his siblings.
Warnings: mature themes, inappropriate language, same sex relations, fingering, orgasm
-------------------------------------------------------
You sat cross legged on Hakkai's bed as you watched him search for something in the trunk on the far left of his room.
"Here! I've found it" he said holding up an old VH tape.
Hakkai smiled at his discovery as he walked over to where you were seated on the bed.
"All this excitement over a VH tape" you said snickering at Hakkai's dramatic reaction.
"It's not just any VH tape, okay. It's has my favorite movie on it" Hakkai said as he scratched the back of his head, eyes peering down at your smirking face.
"Oh really? What's the movie then" you replied back, as you leaned forward attempting to grab it from his hands.
But the tall boy was quick in his reaction, quickly lifting his arm so that you were unable to reach the tape.
"It's a secret, but I want us to watch it together so that when it's done I could explain it to you" Hakkai said dropping eye contact with you.
"If it's a secret and you plan on letting me watch it with you, then why not let me see it now"
"Urgh just wait okay. You're gonna understand when you watch it. Damn (Y/N) why do you have to be such a hard head?" He asked rhetorically with a laugh. You were always so stubborn and that was one of the qualities that Hakkai liked about you, that you would have what you wanted one way or another.
It was on one of your extremely stubborn day that Hakkai had realized that his growing feels for you were in full bloom.
Hakkai had realized shortly after that day, he had to admit to his feelings towards you with his favorite movie Love Letter, which was a story about a young woman who received love letters from her husband at war. He had decided that once the two of you had finished watched it he would present you with his love letter to you.
That was Hakkai's plan.
"Okay fine, since you were so nice to me today; well nice enough to buy me Taiyaki on the way home from school I'll let you keep me in the dark about the movie for now"
At your words Hakkai gave you a closed eye smile, walking towards his room door
"I'm going to go get the VH player so we can watch this bad boy" Hakkai said turning at the door frame giving you another closed eyed smile, as he quickly sped of to collect the items he needed.
You laughed at his actions slightly shaking your head at his cartoonish mannerisms.
You were left alone in the room. You switched positions from cross legged to lay flat on you tummy, arms outstretched above your head as you lazily awaited for Hakkai's return.
You turned your head to his dresser and caught site of the pencil he always used since second year, or well the same brand. You began to recall how he always would ask for that brand type when he forget one at home and slowly you began to think about how you and Hakkai became friends.
Hakkai and you had become friends in your second year, when you had transferred schools. You had sat behind him barely uttering a word until he asked you for a pencil, more specifically a Bic one, and the moment your eyes connected to his you felt a spark and from that day forward you prayed that he would speak to you again.
And sure enough Hakkai began to speak to more and more, eventually the two of you began spending break times with each other, even joining the same clubs to spend more time with each other.
"You know (Y/N), when I first saw you I thought you were a boy" Hakkai said as he ate his dango while the two of you sat on the pavement outside the shop you had purchased the sweet item from.
"Huh" you said looking back at him in confusion.
"Well between you and me, I get really shy around girls so I don't speak to them if you've noticed. But when I saw you I genuinely thought you were a boy, because you always wore pants. It wasn't until I got to know you more that I realized you're a girl" Hakkai said biting into the second delicious dango ball.
"Seriously Hakkai, I sound like a girl and act like one to" you replied to him in utter shock at his confession.
"Well I thought you didn't hit puberty yet, but it's good I didn't think you were a girl otherwise we wouldn't be such great friends now" he said looking down at you.
"Yeah you're right" you said smiling back at him.
You smiled reminiscing on your time spent on Hakkia but quickly your thoughts were interrupted when you felt an extra weight on the bed, but before you could turn around and face Hakkai his hand came covering your mouth.
Your eyes grew wide at his actions unsure of what to do next, you laid still allowing him to have control of what would happen next.
After a moment you felt a pair of soft lips against your neck, causing your muscles to stiffen at the sudden actions.
You were in shock by his actions and never had you thought Hakkai would have the courage to do these things to you, but whatever force motivated him to do this you were grateful for as your muscles slowly started to relax as he continued to kiss up and down your neck.
When Hakkai began kissing your jugular vein you let out an unexpected moan from the kiss, which caused him to attack the spot over and over again.
Your tongue had started pushing out against the hand the covered your mouth, the drool from your mouth coating his hand as you moaned and mewled into it from the kisses that were becomes love marks on your neck.
"Hakkai" you said through mumbles.
Your voice ringing through his ears drove him wild. He took his free hand and slapped your ass, an indication for you to lift it and without a word being spoken to you, you understood completely what he meant.
You were so submissive in his hands, his hands that usually smell like oil from his motorbike but now smelt like vanilla, which drove your even more wild.
When your ass was up in the air Hakkai took it as an opportunity to slip his hands underneath your skirt, slowly rubbing the bud in your panties.
The drool was on his hands now dripped down onto his bedding, as the sensations he was drawing from nearly drove you off the cliff of pleasure.
Your hips began rutting against his hand trying to find some sort or relief.
Hakkai sensed what you needed and without a warning slipped two fingers inside.
You moaned loudly when you felt his fingers enter you without a warning, your cunt sucked them in. They felt so slender in comparison to what you thought they would feel like, but your brain was to concerned about pleasure to care how they felt in your imagination compared to reality.
Hakkai began prodding at your velvet walls, making his fingers go back and forth inside your walls that were tightening by the second.
"Hakkai!" You screamed through muffled moans.
You felt the rope inside your tummy get tighter and tighter. You humped his hand as fast as you could trying to catch your clit on his palm to stimulate yourself more.
The bed springs were squeaking at the actions that were occurring above it and your heart was racing due to what was happening. You were so close, so so close. The rope inside you felt so hot and tight, you only needed a little more motivation and when you heard Hakkai moan against your ear in a soft whispering voice it finally snapped.
Your body gushed against his hand, wet gushes leaking all over the once dry bedding. Your breathes slowly became steady, and when you felt that you had finally caught it, without a second to waste you closed your eyes and grabbed his face kissing his soft plump lips.
And when you opened your eyes you were ready to look into the ones that had stole your heart, only to be met with Yuzuha Shibas.
You laid still underneath her starring dead into her eyes refusing to look away. The soft kisses, the vanilla sented hands, the slender fingers and the soft voice where all Yuzuha's. You were lost in the pleasure created by Yuzuha.
And before you could let a word out to try and comprehend what had just happened, she quickly kissed your lips.
"(Y/N) chan I like you" Yuzuha said with blushing cheeks and stood up leaving you on the soiled bed.
Yuzuha starred into your eyes briefly after she had confessed, quickly getting up from the bed and bolting out of the room before you could even process what had just happened.
As soon as you heard the door of one room close, Hakkai's door opened again revealing the tall boy holding a VHs player, looking at you oddly.
Starring down at your fucked out expression face.
--------
Hakkai was determined, that the moment the movie would end he would tell you the feelings he had been keeping in for what seemed an eternity.
Hakkai stood in the kitchen VHs player I'm hand, going over the line he prepared to tell you once the two of you would watch the love letter.
So without another thought he speedily walked back to his room. Swinging his door open.
The moment he had opened the door he was faced with you splayed on the bed, your hair a mess, your lips slightly parted as you took deep shallow breathes and your eyes blown out. Hakkai's heart began beating as if it would burst and without even realizing the words he kept for later slipped out.
"(Y/N)-chan, I like you"

taiju shiba has a wife
synopsis -> taiju shiba has a wife, and no one expected her to be so sweet.
be warned of.. taiju shiba has his own warning, fluff, mention of pregnancy and kids
Tumblr media
taiju was one of the last shiba’s people would expect to get a wife.
let alone be the first to get one.
hakkai was bewildered that she was able to settle down with his older brother.
she was always addressed as ‘the lovely mrs. shiba”
mrs. shiba brightens the mood of taiju’s resturant when she walks in with her gorgeous million dollar smile.
and when she does, she’ll go to the receptionist and say,
“where’s that workaholic husband of mine?” in a teasing tone, soft hands resting on her hips with a grin.
and although people would provide her with an answer and directions, she would make her way over to the mini aquarium where the two sharks were.
there, she would take a seat and press her hand on the glass and watch as the shark swam around.
after a few minutes, taiju would make his way out of his previous location and slide his way into the booth.
mrs. shiba would press a short kiss onto his jaw with a smile, and pull open her shoulder bag to present him with homemade bentos.
he takes it gratefully, taking her hand into his larger one and say a short prayer before they began eating.
the conversation would be short, only talking shortly about some recent events.
and when they both finished their food, mrs. shiba would place the plates back into her bag and smile at her husband.
the married couple would share a kiss, before mrs. shiba would be back on her way to do her daily errands.
after that, the restaurant and it’s workers were brighter and more lively.
even her husband was in a much better mood.
he was in such a good mood sometimes, he’d bring her home something nice.
it would always range from flowers, to whatever sweets you suggested he have at the restaurant.
and every time he handed it to her, she’d tiredly giggle and say,
“thank you my love, but you shouldn’t have” while holding it to her body.
and on their days home, they would have a domestic routine.
they would have breakfast at the table, taiju’s siblings joining them occasionally.
after breakfast, the married couple would split the housework and busy themselves with that.
of course, since mrs. shiba usually do the housework herself, taiju likes to take care of most of the things.
once the house was clean, they would have time to themselves, where they would spend taking care of each other.
whether it was emotionally, physically, mentally, or sexually.
the two would always support each other.
however, after a few weeks after their fourth anniversary, mrs. shiba stopped showing up at the restaurant.
she stopped doing her little errands, and she was never awake when taiju made it home.
taiju began to worry about her heavily. he hadn’t known if she had came down with something.
so one day, he decided to shoot her a short text to check up on her while he was at work.
but mrs. shiba only responded with,
“i’m okay, don’t worry!” using cute faces to attempt to calm his worries.
but those cute faces and reassuring messages you sent to him did nothing to calm his nerves.
it continued for weeks, mrs. shiba denying her illness to both her husband and in laws.
until taiju had surprised her by closing the restaurant early and coming home to her before his usual time.
before she could go to sleep.
when he made it into the house, she was sitting in the chair in the living room with a book in hand.
the weather outside was cool, so she was cuddled in a warm blanket with the lights dimmed to a extent her eyes could handle.
since the light was dimmed, he didn’t catch the title of the book.
taiju approached his wife slowly, letting her register the fact that he was home earlier than usual.
she stood up, placing her warm feet on the cold floor to greet him with a small queasy smile.
taiju hummed in response, pressing the back of his cool hand on her forehead in worry.
her temperature wasn’t quite normal, which made taiju worry even more.
but before he could insist taking her to the doctor the next day, or maybe even urgent care right now, he caught a glimpse of the book.
it had a baby on the cover of it, and a few words he couldn’t quite see.
so he lifted up the book, and read the cover outloud.
“what to do when you’re expecting” he said quietly, almost shocked at how foreign his voice sounded.
he looked away from the book to look at his wife, before blinking a couple times.
mrs. shiba was doing that thing she did when she was nervous while avoiding his gaze.
a small, unsure ‘surprise?’ left mrs. shiba’s mouth as she chewed on her lip.
taiju hadn’t known what to say, he hadn’t even had the strength to move.
in the mix of his emotions, he seen a small image that shifted through his mind.
it was a realistic image of mrs. shiba, holding a beautiful healthy baby girl in her arms with a big smile.
and suddenly, the woman before him was engulfed in his arms as he laughed.
taiju shiba has a wife.
and mrs. shiba just happens to be you.
and in just a couple months, both of you will have a child together.

Wait so Hakkai’s dad would come home from work, see Taiju beating the shit out of his siblings, shrug off his shoes and coat and go to sleep? I’m confused. I read the entire manga and their dad is mentioned as working but that’s it
Let's take a look at Yuzuha's flashback about her mom shall we ?:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
1. Her mother asks her if she loves her father and Yuzuha answers she doesn't know because he's never home, so it's sure he works and spends little to no time with his children if Yuzuha doesn't even have an opinion about him (whereas, Luna and Mana wishes for their mother to play more/spend more time with them; which might implied that Mitsuya's mom does spend her time with her children when she can, even if it's not often)
2. Her mother apologizes and says 'I'll protect you' but from what ? Yuzuha says Taiju only started to become physically abusive after their mom died, so why would her mother need to protect her ?
It's never explicitly said, but for me it means their father is physically abusive and while Yuzuha and Hakkai may have never or only a few times experienced it because he's rarely here (or may have forgotten about it because they were too young) — their mother and Taiju did
Taiju at least witnessed it and just.. copied his father
But he didn't copy him before his mother died, so why did that change ? Here's my personal interpretation: his child brain, after his mother's death concluded she had only died because she was weak whereas his father is strong. Taiju is strong, he won't die. But you know who's weak (from his point of view) ? Hakkai and Yuzuha. So he has to make them stronger, so they don't die like their mother did (and he says it in canon, how he was trying to make Hakkai stronger)
And sure, their mother died from an illness and i do believe it but i don't think child Yuzuha was given all the informations and so neither were us and Hakkai and Yuzuha don't seem to suffer from something like that but point is, they can still die because of something else
Hakkai was convinced love is pain and I think Taiju too
He was simply repeating the circle of abuse
(Also Yuzuha's bubble "don't worry about what's happening home" makes me think things did happen home and again, Taiju only started to be abusive after their mother's death so)
So yeah, my personal take is that their father is someone Taiju – lacking better role model – copied (and Hakkai was this close to copy Taiju but, as we can see in the flashback when he first met Mitsuya, Mitsuya stopped him and became someone Hakkai looks up to) (and Yuzuha promised to protect their family. In a way, Taiju tried as well (with his childish twisted logic) but he had his father in mind. Yuzuha kept her mother in mind, Taiju didn't since Yuzuha says "you never talk about mom" or something like that if I remember well which shows he tried to forget about her, consciously or not. And not thinking about people make you forget the memories you've shared)
— I don't think their father cares about them one bit. Who knows what he does when he comes to see them
I- I hope I'm not the only one who read it that way

Mastermind | Mitsuya Takashi
This can only end in two ways; you either get your self a boyfriend or you embarrassed yourself in front of your friend's other friends during her wedding. Aside from your pride, what more could you lose? Well, for starter, you could lose your friend, but Hina knows how much stupid you can be sometimes so that's not really a threat. Second, if this fails, you'll be remembered as the 'lady who tried to hit on someone but failed miserably'. And third, you might annoy the guy you're trying to get your hands on and he will remember you as the weird creepy lady. Not a tasteful outcomes, but you'll take the risk. Because the man you're trying to get is not just any man, it's the Mitsuya Takashi. What more can you ask for, right?
Spotting Hina talking with her husband and his friends, you decided it's time to set your plan in motion. Thank god your dress was long or else you'll have to think of a much better plan to get that man's attention - not like your plan now was any better tho.
You took a sip from your champagne and waited till Hina's eyes catch yours. And that's not a hard thing to do, considering Hina was busy attending to guests that her eyes keeps flickering here and there. But you felt bad using your friend and her wedding just so you could snatch a conversation with a guy.
With a sighed, you decided to give Hina another gift. Not a wedding gift, but an apology one.
When Hina's attention turned towards your direction, you smiled at her and raised your glass. In turn, she motioned for you to come forward. Putting the glass down, you composed yourself and reminded yourself of your plan.
Hiding a smirk, you walked with confidence. Kicking your dress underneath while walking and trying to time the perfect fall, you were unaware of a running Sano barreling towards you. Luckily, you have enough reflex to avoid him and spiral down the floor, but your sudden turn made you trip backwards. And your dress created a tangled mess, even Mikey was not spared.
This wasn't the fall you were planning, so while in the motion of falling backwards, you pray that Hina catches you or one of the couple's friend, you removed the thought of having Mitsuya catch you, considering the distance, Hina would be the nearest one. the bad news is, if no one get's to you in time, you might have a concussion or worse - die, if you did, you swore you will haunt down Sano and get a revenge on what he did. Which might be a bad omen to the newly wed couple.
Closing your eyes, you braced yourself from the impact. Only to feel a solid chest behind you and stop your fall. A hand was placed to your waist and shoulder to steady you. And you felt a warm breath tickled your neck when the person who catch you spoke. "Oi Mikey! I said carefully, and don't run around recklessly."
Mikey, the man who tripped - a karma you think, because he decided to disrupt your perfectly crafted plan (not really) - but was still able to balance himself not make an spectacle, smirk and said, "Heh Mitsuya, you worked fast." And with that he left.
The man behind you snickered.
Meanwhile, you were left there confused and went rigid when you felt his chest vibrate and felt a warm puff of air behind your ear. You tensed up and all the conversations you played inside your head once your plan work, was thrown out the door. Now your just standing there awkwardly with Mitsuya's hands on your body. That thought was dangerous too. Goodness.
"Should we let you sit down first? I think you were surprised by what happened." You could only nod your head. Cause what were you supposed to say? 'Yes I'm surprised but I actually like what happened. By the way, do you like kids? And do you think you can still design my wedding dress even if we're busy preparing our wedding, oh and also, what motif do you like? -'
Mitsuya withdrawn his hands from your waist and shoulder once he's certain you're able to regain your balance. You were shocked by your own self control when no whimpers came out of your lips when he decided to distance himself from you.
You gasped when he bent down and started fixing the tangled ends of your dress. When he stood up, he smiled and asked, "May I hold your hand?" You turned to him surprised.
Was he seriously asking you? Oh goodness, the bare minimum yet it's so hot. "Y-yes." With a smile you held out your hand. He took yours and led you to a table. You looked back to Hina to apologize only to see her smiling brightly and her husband and friends were smirking and snickering amongst themselves.
You turned back to Mitsuya and witness him pull a chair for you to sit. Once sat down, he went beside you and sat too. You avoided his gaze by flickering your eyes everywhere. Your eyes went to Yuzuha, who was across the room, she was smiling and made a thumbs up. Thinking she was applauding you for having Mitsuya's attention now and not ranting to her how much you like him, you were also about to smile and make some hand signal when the man beside you laughed softly, affectionately you would say, but you're not yet delirious.
In your periphery, you saw Mitsuya smile and made a thumbs up signal to Yuzuha. Raising a brow, you were about to ask him what that was about when Hakkai, made his appearance. "Taka-chan, Yuzuha said you were so smooth in catching Y/n, she thought Mikey would mess up and almost get Y/n in an acci - oh..."
The atmosphere around the two of you became heavy and you saw Hakkai slowly back away. Mitsuya then turned to you and smiled sheepishly. "Yeah, you weren't actually supposed to trip." You burst out laughing after what he said.
"Were you planning on making me fall and then catch me?"
"No. Hina was just supposed to call you over and introduce me to you. But Yuzuha decided to play matchmaker and involve Mikey."
"That's sweet of them. But I'm gonna get them back for that."
"Well, Yuzuha hates the Haitani brothers and Draken has Mikey's stash of Dorayaki."
The both of you laughed and you started planning a way to get back on the two of them while Mitsuya just smiled and gives comments here and there.
It was, on the day of Hina and Takemichi's wedding, a silent war was made. The prank war only lasted for three months because Mitsuya decided to conspire with the two and plan the greatest prank war by involving the gang, in asking you to be his girlfriend. Needless to say, the whole thing became chaotic that involved a wasted Haruchiyo, Peh and Pah thrashing the venue - it was the Shiba's house so at least you got something out of it -, everyone agreeing to have Draken as the best man, Chifuyu crying and wanting Peke J beside him, Takemichi crying and wanting Hina to marry him, everyone just watching shit goes down, and Hanma having all of it in his camera.

1. usagi's fave colour is orange. brilliant sunset orange, the kind she'd see and breathe in when sitting at the top of a mountain. she remembers her father in that light the most, his smile lines deep, crooked with love as he looked to the dying sunrays.
2. arisu's favourite colour is blue, a plunging and open sky ripe with freedom. it makes him think of the infinite possibilities of life, of moving forward and stepping into the azure future. he thinks of giving up less and it reminds him of hope.
3. chota has an addiction to tetris. he's constantly on the leaderboards, either tapping away on his phone or shirking off work on the computer. it's terrifying to watch him play. when he's playing, it's like the world becomes fuzz. karube once broke into his apartment bc he was knocking and chota wasn't responding.
he didn't even realise someone was behind him until karube grabbed his phone and chota screamed. his fear of the intruder was secondary to him losing his full clear streak, he admitted. they tease him a lot about it.
4. kuina has a butterfly tramp stamp on her lower back. she got it early on in her transition, and it was a moment of rash impulsion she sometimes regrets. in the borderlands, there were more important things to do than to be embarrassed of it, but in normal life, it's strange.
the first time ann sees it, she doesn't think much of it. as kuina and her become more comfortable with each other, she feels the urge to reach out and trace it growing — but she tries tucking that want away, no matter how it tries to take flight.
of course, the butterfly represents get metamorphosis as a trans woman.
5. sometimes when arisu falls into deep grief as he blames himself for his friends' deaths and usagi knows words can't reach him, she offers his hand and he squeezes for as long as they need.
6. because chishiya worked at the hospital pre-borderlands, he used to take breaks out the back. he tried smoking, but it never stuck. there were often stray cats in the alley who would peer at him curiously. as cat laws go, of course, they love anyone who seems disinterested, and they would roll on their bellies for pets.
sometimes he'd oblige, and the cats would push their furry heads into his hands. mostly he'd just stare and ignore them until they tottered away.
after the borderlands, the cats were still there, of course. he opens his hands for more pets these days. there's a certain trust in their eyes that says, i understand you too. if on their monthly checkup to his apartment to make sure he's not being a hermit, arisu and the crew spot an extra friendly meowing creature drinking from a bowl of water near the kitchen, he'll deny any accusations of adoption.

When you're looking through Yuzuha's wiki page & you find this. SPECIAL SKILL?! WHAT LEVEL ARE WE UNLOCKING THIS AT?! She runs the archery club?!
Tumblr media
I forgot about hearing about this one, but oh my gosh. I just... Yuzuha how many girls have confessed to you & you thought they were confessing to Hakkai? I'm wheezing. Yuzuha how many times have you found confession letters in your locker & you just thought they weren't for you?
TLDR: Yuzuha is ✨ HER ✨ at school.

For your TR muses: Do you want kids? If yes, how many? Would you prefer your own or adoption? Who would be your ideal partner?
Yuzuha
Yuzuha absolutely wants at least two kids someday. After growing up with multiple siblings she wouldn't want to have just one kid and them not have a brother or sister to be able to lean on and be close to. She'd prefer her own but wouldn't be opposed to adoption if the circumstances somehow came around for it. And her ideal partner would be someone just as family oriented as she is, given how close she always will be to Hakkai; if her partner doesn't have family in their life (unless there's a good reason for no contact) or get along with her own, then she wouldn't be interested in pursuing a future with that person.
Mikey
Mikey's on the fence with having kids. It would entirely depend on if his partner wanted them and how easy or difficult it would be for them to have kids. Generally though, Mikey's perfectly fine being the cool uncle and having fun raising kids by proxy. His ideal partner is someone who's okay with Mikey's history in gangs and continuing to have Toman be a part of his life even after Toman has disbanded, and him traveling around a lot with his bike racing career.
Baji
Baji's also on the fence about having children of his own. He knows how difficult he was for his own mother to raise by herself, Baji knows any child biologically related to him would no doubt inherit some traits from him and be just as challenging to raise. He's also pretty content with the idea of being the cool uncle and having a fur baby at home. His ideal partner is able to put up with Baji's stubborn streak and his tendency to get into fights more than he really should. He cools it some as an adult with the regular fighting, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't have fun sparring with other Toman members just for the fun of it.
Draken
Draken absolutely wants kids of his own. Not that he doesn't very much appreciate everything Masemichi did raising him when he was under no obligation to do so, Draken wants to have at least one child and make sure it has the best possible home life, both in terms of financial stability as well as having both parents present in their childs life as much as possible. Draken would also prefer to have biological kids, but he has a bit of a soft spot for the idea of adoption after Masemichi took him in following Draken's mothers passing. His ideal partner is also okay with Draken's history with Toman and being involved in gang culture, and being okay with Draken's passion for bikes taking up a lot of his day, both for his job and his free time. Draken's love for just riding Zephyr around with his friends just for the sake of riding is never going to go away, and he'd love to be able to share that passion of his with whoever he was romantically involved with.
Hanma
Hanma does not want biological kids. Period. There is no way any partner of his could ever change his mind on this. Hanma is far too lazy to want to take care of a child, or even have one in his care for more than ten minutes. Doesn't matter if the child is adopted or biologically his, Hanma doesn't want one. He takes care of himself and that's about it, and even then he pays people to do shit for him whenever possible. His ideal partner can put up with Hanma being lazy around the house and not give him so much shit about it that it becomes annoying for him to hear.

Hakkai wants you and Mitsuya to meet. How wonderful would it be if his two favorite people were friends?
Hanma Shuji
overprotective

You can join a gang, just not his. No special reason except he can bring you and your guys in to help his gang
You've tried to get him to stop smoking but he's too stubborn
Will randomly pick you up and haul you around simply because he can

he trusts no one else with his injuries
Makato Suzuki
Do NOT go into his room without knocking
Just keep the tv volume up at all times, no one wants to hear that

Naps are king when he's home from school
Make plans with him, please, he loves you

hello! Me again, thanks for the kakucho alphabet ❤️ Could I hear you the letters F, H, I for Yuzuha?
P.S I love your content ❤️
NSFW Alphabet : Yuzuha!!!!!!
F, H, I
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
She loves having you ride her strap, so she really enjoys any variation of cowgirl. Her favorite is definitely lotus though. Having you in her lap and she gets to hold you while also getting a great view of your cute face.
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
She keeps it shave completely or leaves a little strip of hair, trimming it every so often so it doesn't get too long
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
Yuzuha is quite romantic during sex, she wants to make these moments feel special for you. It's her chance to show you just how much she loves you.
Tumblr media
When you love women but struggle to write women 🫠

Hello! I uhm wanted to ask you if we can get another part of being like takemitches twin? Like specifically how the other gangs would react to you fighting and being a girl? Thank you ��💗
Fandom; Tokyo Revengers
Hcs; What's it's like to be Tokyo Revengers younger/older siblings .
Note; i didn't expect it to be this popular lmao. Also. warning might contain some spoiler for those who just start the anime. i thought about putting brahman too but it's still not out in anime yet. Also, you can my favorite and my least favorite here XD.
Being Takemichi twin sister part two:-
Black Dragon:
You just want to have one day without you being drag into Takemichi problem but no, you got a call from Takuya saying Takemichi got his ass beaten in church.
Just one day, but no, seem like holy spirit want to see you suffering because your mom told you to drag Takemichi back home so you guys can have dinner together.
So here you are, ignoring the fight happening around you as you go straight to the church. Yamagishi about to cheer your name when he sees the pissed expression on your face, and he start praying for taiju.
Imagine Taiju who about to punch Yuzuha stop when someone push the door open and yell out, "Hanagaki Takemichi!!" and Takemichi like, "Oh shit, full name. I f*ck up."
Inui already know who you are, he sees you dragging Takemichi back home one day by ear. See, he once tries to stop you since he wants to talk to Takemichi but you kick him between his legs, so he politely steps aside to avoid not able to produce heir anymore.
But Taiju is another story, he sneers at you and stop you from taking another step, "who the hell are you, can you see that-"
Just before he can say anything, you rush toward him, Taiju let out a small gasp not expecting you to rush head on. He throws a right punch, but you slip underneath him, clenching your left fist you aim for his family jewel and punch it hard that all male in the church share the same pain.
Taiju falls on the ground holding his crotch, he lifts his head up to yell at you, but you already pull your arm back, without any mercy you start repeatedly punching Taiju in the face, not giving him a chance to recover.
Inui now start thinking whether he should just join toman as he stares at you beating the shit out of Taiju, Kokonoi have a second thought about this event. And Taiju, he, well might need a ride to hospital.
"Takemichi sister is stronger than him." Inui say as he looks at you drag your brother away, " Wait, what?" Koko look at Inui with a wide eye, "Oh right, that's [name], takemichi twin sister." Yuzuha looks at the unconscious Taiju, "Well, damn. I think i like her more now."
Overal: Yuzuha now has a girl crush, Inui start planning on calling takemichi brother-in-law, Kokonoi will literally buy you anything because Inui like you, Taiju has a second thought; wondering if his siblings as strong as you will he end up in hospital sooner?
Bonus: Mikey who about to help the other stare in confusion when he sees you dragging Takemichi out by an ear, yelling and scolding him. He peeks inside the church and see Taiju laying on the floor, beaten up to pulp. "Gotta marry her someday." He thought.
Tenjiku:
Izana knows about you because Mikey like you, so he thought about, why don't we have a chat with you for a bit.
On your way back home from school, you see a group of males hogging around in front of your house. Curious you step closer to them and ask why they here.
Haitani brothers point out at how similar you are to Takemichi, which you answer with duh, obviously. But then you see Kakucho and you recognize him, you greet him saying it's been long time since last you see him. kakucho can't help but blush when you step closer to him because he *cough*haveacrushonyouonce*cough*.
Izana notice this obviously want the best for his servant and take the lead, he asks you a few questions. Mostly about your relationship with Mikey. Which the answers are no.
You sigh and tell them to leave you alone since you are not really an official member of Toman. You about to walk away when Ran stop you, without much thought you flip Ran over your shoulder making him crash on the ground.
Silence. Pure silence.
Izana being curious piece of art he is wanted to test your strength because why not? When you busy apologize to stunned Ran, Izana throws a fake punch at you, but you dodge it by reflex. Oh, now he really interested.
You two start fighting, well, more like you dodging and he is attacking. Much to the other surprise you manage to dodge every single one of it.
"What are you guys doing?" Takemichi who just come back from meeting Mikey look at you guys confusedly and worryingly.
You two stop the fight because Takemichi ruin the fun, izana word not you. Izana whisper something toward you before he walks away with the other following him.
'If Mikey want you then i want you too.' is what he whispers and you like, wtf? aren't you like eighteen? red flags much?
"[Name] never change. She still looks like her brother." Kakucho said out loud making them all look at him. "...That's a girl?" Izana asks, "Yeah? Don't you see she wear girl uniform?"-"...Well, damn!"
Overall: stay away from izana if you want to survive, kakucho want to see you again and maybe you two can get a drink together, Ran is intrigue and wonder if you are stronger than you look and Rindou wonder if you willing to go out with him.

WHERE DOES TAIJU'S BEHAVIOR COME FROM aKa the Shiba Family and Intergenerational trauma (aKa it's his father's fault)
(Here it is, @raizelswitch (sorry for the long wait))
TL;DR (this shit is over 7,000 words long): Hakkai’s father is implied to be abusive, Taiju as a traumatized child without support, help or way to cope, traumatized his younger siblings he was too young and not mature enough to have the responsability of taking care of, Yuzuha parentified herself and we need to appreciate Mitsuya more
Love is pain
Tumblr media
Hakkai thought love is pain because that’s all he ever knew until he met Mitsuya. He loves his brother. Loves his family. And Taiju did love him, he says so himself and I really don’t think he was lying as messed up as it is. Taiju, as a child himself who only instance of love was also his family, grew up thinking love is pain too. Perhaps he didn’t experienced it himself but he witnessed it with his father and his mother. Taiju doesn’t see his father as abusive. If he does, he constantly justifies it by « love ». His parents love each others, they have to and they must love him. So if they hurt each others it must be out of love. If he is hurt or hurt his siblings it’s out of love. If his father is the actual reason for his mother’s death (whether it be direct or not) and he loved his mother then when Taiju is about to kill his siblings, he loves them too. That just how it is, isn’t it ?
Here’s Hakkai’s pride/failure story :
When he was younger he used to always run together with his older brother. One day, his brother jumped from the fence and Hakkai followed him, breaking his leg on the spot. His brother carried him on a piggyback ride to the hospital. Hakkai was happy.
This hurts me in all the good and bad ways. Between Hakkai being happy and Taiju showing he could be a good brother… It never says Taiju got angry ; and he could have who knows if Wakui let that out in purpose but since it’s not written, there’s a even slight chance Taiju didn’t. Hakkai got hurt, it stopped them from running, from what they were supposed to do and Taiju carried him to the hospital.
But then Taiju is still Taiju, and at the end he never made Hakkai happy more than he ever made him cry.
(there’s also the possibility it happened before their mother passed away)
And if you read this without ever knowing Taiju – if Wakui had only given us that and we’d never met Taiju we’d think of him as a good brother. And he could’ve been, he did what he thought was being a good brother. But he wasn’t. And he’s changed but this time lost will never come back. His relation with his siblings won’t ever be what they want/ed it to be. (It’s not the time to waste more of it)
He had had to witness it, the beating by his father. He knows he’s the one who remembers their mother the best out of them three, Yuzuha remembers a bit (and if Yuzuha had memories of that time (when their father was still living with them) she could’ve forgot them – which isn’t impossible because Wakui has proven to know the brain can block out traumatic memories with Kazutora.) Hakkai might not remember at all (he may have glimpses).
And while we can’t be sure for Hakkai, if Yuzuha remembers her time with her mom, she remembers Taiju at the time when he didn’t have a violent behavior (since she knows when he changed, she can pinpoint it)
Tumblr media
Taiju never talks about what he’s feeling. We have a example with how he never talk to Yuzuha and Hakkai about their mother (chapter 107, Yuzuha: "Ever since mom died... You never talked about her.") but thinking about the character, who’s a lonely one (I talk about it more somewhere below), he doesn’t talk about anything that could leave him vulnerable (does any character know he likes sharks?)
And he loved his mother very much. It’s never said but i doubt people will disagree with me on that one. She was the only adult that could’ve possibly shown him what love and affection are truly like. But she died. She was weak.
You know who else stop seeing their father young and had their mother in a hospital before she died ? THE SANO. But, Shinchiro is ten years older than Mikey, not one or two like Taiju with his siblings, he was already a teen when he lost his last parent – which is still terrible but he was emotionally mature enough. (or at least, more than Taiju was.)
Tokyo revengers shows a wild range of different relationships among siblings ; but they have almost a thing in common (staring at the Inui family forcing me to put ‘almost’ because we don’t know enough about them and Akane is only present for her death)(and also the Tachibana) – the oldest goes through parentification. (whether they suceed to become a good substitute parent is another question and most importantly : THEY SHOULDNT HAVE TO. WHY IS EVERYONE TRAUMITIZED IN THIS STORY)
(Takeomi – Sanzu – Senju | Shinichiro – Mikey – Emma have the same age gap and i refuse to believe there isn’t some kind of parallelism to dig here ; without mentioning their family situation is the same. Chapter 241, Senju : "We were raised by a single father but he was always busy… so he left us at grandma’s. That’s why Takeomi plays the father role for us". Mikey, Emma and Shinichiro don’t have their parents, the one who was present the most was Mikey and Shinichiro’s mother but she couldn’t raise them when she was at the hospital. They stayed with their grandfather but, chapter 269, Shinichiro (talking about Mikey) : "I’m like his father figure at this point.", chapter 109, Mikey : "My bro raised us both. He was 10 years older than me, and we followed him everywhere. He taught us all sorts of things.")
The way Shinichiro+Mitsuya dealt with this is different from the way Takeomi+Taiju did. That’s the difference between children who were raised to know how to take care of others, who were taught how to by parents who did their jobs (the best they could) vs children who were raised with constant neglect/abuse and had to out of nowhere take care of other people (we dont know enough about the akashi and it pisses me off)
The main way humans socialize is by copying behaviors. Children copy their parents alllll the time. The concept of ‘do what i say not what i do’ is not naturally there, that’s what it is said and repeated – we do what others do. Taiju had two different paths he could follow, two different caretakers he could copy. First, his mother, if his father wasn’t home often even before his wife’s hospitalisation then Taiju must have spent much more time with his mother than him. She was a positive influence on him (she seems to have been a caring and good mother only stopped by the fact her husband is a piece of shit for the little bit of her we’ve seen).
Taiju loved his mother, he copied her, never got violent with his siblings – because his mother wasn’t. She dies. And Taiju could’ve kept his memories of her close to his heart, copying over and over her behavior, what she would’ve done but. If she died it’s because she was weak, no ? His father was strong, always and his mother took beatings, which is to say his mother’s way of being wasn’t wrong but if she had died because of it and Hakkai and Yuzuha – his young baby siblings – are weak… Won’t Hakkai and Yuzuha die ? But, if he takes care of them all by himself and they never do anything – they won’t get stronger, he’ll just keep playing the parent forever but he won’t be there forever. He has to make them stronger.
So, second, his father.
… His father ?
If he was concious what his father did was wrong (which – since he is listed as Taiju’s ‘respected person’ in the official guidebook might not be the case) he wouldn’t copy him. Scratch that – how could he copy his father if he’s never there ?
Taiju. Had. No. One. To. Show. Him. Own. It’s. Done.
He has blurry, old memories of his mother, a few and short memories of his father. He had had to improvised. He had no one to copy fully. How do you raise two children who aren’t yours when you’re yourself a child and the two possible role models you have are either dead or absent ? Badly, very, very badly.
(– It makes me understand people saying their father isn’t abusive but simply not there, that a theory that could work (just like mine), Taiju could’ve very much become violent because he was a child with no way to cope or control his anger. The grief of his mother’s death, their father not being here, responsabilities of raising Yuzuha and Hakkai – too much emotions for a kid without support. But still
Tumblr media
If Taiju started to be abusive after their mother’s passing, why would she, first, apologize, second, say "I’ll protect you." ? Simple, her husband is abusive ("Don't worry about what's happening at home") and that’s why she asked what Yuzuha thinks of him right before – there’d be no need to put those two informations (‘what do you think about your dad + i don’t know he’s not home often’ and ‘I’m sorry, i’ll protect you’) if they both weren’t linked. And even if didn't do any of that, he’s still responsible for not providing support to his children having to go through their mother’s death.)
If his father was a good role model although not here, wouldn’t Taiju turned out like Mitsuya ? Mitsuya’s mother seems to be a good mother although she’s rarely present (Mitsuya cooks better than she does, chapter 122, Mitsuya : "I think I’m the better cook. She hardly does it, so it tastes like shit."). Mitsuya (+Luna and Mana) knows his mother love them. Luna’s Ema (chapter 110) was "I hope mommy will play with me more." and Mana at her side said "Me too". Yuzuha doesn’t think anything of their father. None of the siblings say anything about their father unless it's to say he's not here. (Chapter 85, Hakkai: "We don't have a mom in our family, and since we were little, our dad's hardly ever been at home.")
And I already said it and I’ll keep repeating it : Mitsuya. and. Taiju. are. meant. to. parallel. each. other.
They are both big brother of two younger siblings | the age gap is different
Both had had to take care of their siblings at a young age | Taiju seems to have been younger than Mitsuya was (Taiju was 8, for Mitsuya it seems to have started not to long after Mana's birth? I can be wrong but tbf wakui never gave us that information)
Both have a working parent who’s rarely home and another nowhere to be seen (dead for the Shiba, no information for the Mitsuya) | Mitsuya’s mother doesn’t have a choice, she’s alone to support her family financially and she’s aware of all the responsabilities she gave to her son (chapter 101, Mitsuya: "Once […] (I) ran away from home. When I came back the next morning, mom slapped me real good. Then, mom gave me a hug. She cried and said ‘I’m sorry you have to put up with this’."), Taiju’s father is very much rich (just look at their house. Wakui drew them a big home in one of the guidebook, they even have a pool and a jacuzzi. I would have put it here to show you but there's no more place for pictures) and as such could’ve at least hired people to take care of his kids but no. He seems very detached from them if it’s only for Taiju having tattoos as a teen (or even an adult) when it’s something even today (although it’s changing) frown upon as only criminals and mostly Yakuza are tattooed. And if the Shiba are indeed rich and well-known then their father not caring about the image his son(s) (since Hakkai is also in a gang) is a bit worrying. Altough it could very much be because he’s absent so often he isn’t even aware his oldest son has tattoos but that doesn’t change much since at the end the problem is still the same – he isn’t present in his children’s life. (And yet Taiju goes to the same school as Koko – most likely a private one, their father is sending mixed signals.)
The Shiba being rich and Taiju not being here often as well (chapter 79, Hakkai : "He’s hardly ever home… except for shit like this.") would explain why he doesn’t appear to have baggages with him when he’s leaving the household for good. He’s already living in another of their father’s houses.
The abscence of their father does affect them. Another parent we know isn’t home often because of work his Hina and Naoto’s dad. And Naoto resents him for this. They don’t have a good relationship, he barely knows his children and all that he knows comes from his wife. (chapter 90, Tachibana father : "Im so busy, it’s difficult to find time to spe,nd with my children. So i hear about them almost entirely from my wife.  in particular, Naoto, my youngest... he hates my job, because I’m hardly ever home."). If not having one parent out of two present affects Naoto (especially since his mother appears to be the perfect typical japanese housewife) ; imaging two. And, Naoto’s father is aware of him being barely here affects his children, no way we can guess if Hakkai’s father is the same.
(And, gotta correct myselt - Takemichi does live with his parents as a teen. We can see it in chapter 204 where (what is most definitely) his mother says "Hurry up and get changed ! Breakfast ready ! Jeez ! You haven’t changed at all even though you’re in highschool now !" just after he time leaps after shaking Bonten Mikey’s hand. Takemichi doesn’t seem to have a bad relationship with his parents either and he has both of them ! If there were problems surely Wakui would’ve made it an issue in the story ...right ?)
On the other hand, Kazutora has an explicitely abusive father, and is constantly subjects from critics from one parent to the other. (chapter 55 : "Are you on your dad’s side ? Or are you on my side ? You can’t choose both. You have to choose either one." ; chap 278.3 : "The only reason I gave her parental authority is because she’s your mother, despite the fact she’s a complete simpleton.")
Izana killed Emma. Not directly and he was definitely manipulated by Kisaki, but he was still okay with the plan. Here’s the thing though, him and Emma hadn’t talk in years and he didn’t feel any kind of connection with her anymore while the Shiba siblings all tried to kill because the connection they had wasn’t good. In both cases, the siblings didn’t know the other, they are strangers who can’t tell anything about the other (Yuzuha and Hakkai are an exception but they probably don’t know much about Taiju the same way he probably doesn’t know much about them), they’re not curious about their older brother, they intensively avoid him (which, understandable)
Izana and Taiju are both lonely. But their defeat ends differently : Taiju, who thought he wasn’t alone since he had had his siblings and they were family and blood, is alone by the end of the arc. Izana who’s convinced to not have anyone, dies because — because he had always had Kakucho (chapter 177 : "Sorry, Kakucho. But, I… Only have, you after all."). Both emphasize on blood relations (chapter 80, Taiju:  "Family bonds are more important than friends, aren’t they ?"; chapter 95 : "Hakkai. Yuzuha. You tried to kill your blood-related brother. Your own family [...]" ; chapter 177, Izana (after being told he’s not related to any of the Sano): "The hell of one day thinking you have happiness only for it to suddently be taken away."), and knowing we’re talking about Japan here it’s not surprising. Both come to realize blood is not everything, Izana too late and Taiju… he has done damages to his relationship with his siblings but since they’re all alive, there are chances it gets better if efforts are made.
During the Christmas arc, Yuzuha and Hakkai don’t work together, they’re convinced they have to end the problem by themself as they always do. (chapter 84, (after Hakkai tried to stop Mitsuya from meeting Taiju) Mitsuya : "You always try to handle everything yourself." ; chapter 85, Hakkai : "To protect my family. I’m going to use violence. I’m going to kill Taiju." ; chapter 96, Yuzuha : "I’ll protect Hakkai.  I’ll protect... him."; chapter 103 : "For years… I protected hakkai on my own. That’s why i jumped at the chance… that Kisaki gave me. I’ve got to. I’ve got to do it alone !!") They’re close but they think they have to fix things alone, they can’t depend on the other. And, it’s the same for Taiju (chapter 107, Yuzuha :  "Ever since mom died.. You never talked about her.  You moped and put all this presure on yourself. You’ve been alone since that time. I was the same. I thought I was alone.") (his mother’s death clearly impacted him). And all three of them see the issue they face as a Shiba family's issue where no outsider should come and help/interfere. (Chapter 93, Hakkai: "Stay out of our family's business !", chapter 96, Yuzuha: "Hanagaki this is the path we siblings chose.", chapter 80, Taiju: "Keep your nose out of the Shiba family's business, you little shit.")
The other siblings having a year or so as age gap are the Haitani. And they get along well (ignoring Rindo’s fear/hated person is Ran (now, that’s a true little brother)) despite that. Here’s the thing, Ran never took on the role of a parent. He’s protective of Rindo, sure, but as an older brother. They’re a package deal. They don’t stay on their side like the Shiba do, if there’s a problem they deal with it together. (same for the Kawata twins)
Now, one of the thing the Shiba have that is different from the other siblings is that it wasn’t only one of them who got parentified. Taiju did, Yuzuha too. From the moment her mother died and Taiju became abusive she took on the role she thought she had to take – the mother of the family. The chapter of her flashback is named ‘Mother figure’ which could refer to her mother but to me it’s here to really show she tried to take on this role for Hakkai (chapter 103 : "Don’t worry mommy, I’ll protect our family." ; "I’m sorry, Hakkai… I’m sorry. I swear I’ll protect you !! I promise, I promise I will ! I’ll protect you in mom’s place !!"). She’d been constantly protecting him.
Speaking of which, we have Hakkai and Yuzuha’s flashbacks but… never Taiju’s. And he’s an antagonist, but Izana got his flashback (chapter 172; 177), South got his flashback (chapter 227), Kisaki got his flashback (chapter 182-183), Hanma did too (chapter 205)(sure it’s not about him being a kid, but we still got insight of what he’s thinking – we’ve got his point of view, we never have Taiju’s)
Speaking of Hakkai’s flashbacks –
Tumblr media
Hakkai’s flashback shows he was, or was about to become, like Taiju. With no other way to express his feelings but violence. But then Mitsuya stopped him, took him home and they became friends. Taiju had neither ever been stopped before the Christmas Showndown (chapter 107, Hakkai : "How’s your first ever loss taste ?") nor had friends. While Hakkai got someone to show him another way to deal with his feelings and everything else, Taiju got no one but perhaps his father.
More on Taiju's loneliness
Taiju doesn’t have anyone – as a kid he’s alone, he beat up those other kids and they may or may not stick around, as a teen he’s alone when Inui meets him, then both Koko and Inui leave him right after they lose against Toman, he is distant with his siblings, doesn’t come home often, then never. Even in Manila timeline, the only time we see him as an adult, he’s by himself. And Inui and Koko are the ones who come to kill him. They weren’t close from the start, but it reinforces this idea, doesn’t it. No matter how much people gravitated around him, they never knew him and were never there to.
And think about it, if you think about idk, Izana you’ll end up by thinking about Kakucho and maybe the rest of S-62 (+Sano siblings), if you think about Koko there are many chances for you to think about Inui at some point, but when you think about Taiju… Nobody comes to mind. He’s by himself, sure you might think about Yuzuha and Hakkai but they don’t feel like a package deal. They don’t feel inseparrable, actually you want to separrate them. Only one character once thought of them as something that should stick together and that was Taiju himself. Why ? Because that’s all he has. Taiju is the « Shiba family’s protector », the tyrant, the one who keeps everything in order, the one raising his siblings. Honestly, without them, what does he have left ? (chapter 102, Taiju : "You dare to defy your elder brother, protector of the shiba family !!?" ; chapter 80 : "Family bonds are more important than friends, aren’t they ?")
And then. We have this :
Tumblr media
The only character we see Taiju interact with his siblings aside is Mitsuya. We don’t know who reached out for the other, we approximately know when it happened –
Tumblr media
– but Mitsuya knew where to find Taiju. Not only that, but he asks him to fight alongside Toman 2nd Gen ; he sews him a uniform. But most importantly —
Tumblr media
He is okay with Taiju being left alone with his sisters (from where he is, i don’t think Taiju knows he’s here whether he was since the start or not) and Taiju is even close to them. 1. They’re the ones present on his birthday illustration 2. they’re handing him a present 3. they nicknamed him.
Here’s what Wakui wrote alongside Taiju’s birthday illustration :
Luna : Happy birthday Taiju-chan !
Mana : I love you Taitai !
Taiju : … (Taiju-chan ? Taitai??)
Taiju can’t take a firm attitude to anyone but his siblings.
(translation by @RanHaruchiyo on Twitter)
A thing I didn’t talk about and is important : Taiju is christian and religious abusers love to use their beliefs against others, mostly to justify what they’re doing. Yet, he never does – it’s never implied anywhere. Neither Yuzuha nor Hakkai seem to be christian, it’s never adressed. At first, I thought Taiju’s parents were christians – since 八戒 Hakkai means ‘Eight Commandments’ but it refers to buddhism commandments it seems (Eightfold Path), so my bad. Still, if his parents weren’t christians (which they may have been) it’s very interesting. If Taiju became religious later in life, it must mean he had found comfort in it. Allow me to explain how I think it went: his mother dies, he can’t no longer see, hear or interact with her in any way and he has to take care of his siblings without any help, he has a father – but none to guide him, to show him what to do. Although you won’t get answers, you can make yourself hear to the deads if you pray, if you believe in god then – you have a father. A father who watches over you, always, a father who loves you, always. Plus, as a child who was lost, having a set of rules as guidance must have helped him (even if he didn’t follow them-). Yuzuha and Hakkai don’t have those reasons to believe in anything – Taiju does. I’m reading lines that might or not be there but whether it is what Wakui intended or not it still adds to the character. Religion comforts Taiju. Yet he doesn’t seem to be close to other christians – he goes to church on Christmas when no one else is here after all. Still, by believing in god he feels less alone. Less crushed by the responsabilities as he has ‘someone’ to talk about the problems he’s facing.
Speaking of which, Taiju aside only Mitsuya has a cross in his charadesign, reinforcing the idea of them paralleling one another.
Tumblr media
And Mitsuya in all of this ?
Without Mitsuya, the Shibas wouldn’t be where they are. Hakkai will have end up like Taiju, taking his pain and anger onto others like he was starting to as a child, and even if one day Taiju would’ve wake up with the realisation of what he does is messed up, he wouldn’t have been given his redemption with Luna and Mana or when he was invited to come to help at the battle against Kanto Manji by Mitsuya. And Yuzuha, will have continue to handle it all by herself, because it is her job and she is the one who has to do it.
Mitsuya being the only one keeping a family together which isn’t even his AND his own family. The devil works hard but Taka-chan works harder
And Mitsuya is honestly the best person to help the siblings save their relationship. Not that it means he has to and that’s realistically not going to stress him out with even more responsabilities he doesn’t need. He is an outsider, he knows what happened in this family – only a bit. He knew there was abuse because he knows Hakkai since they were children and noticed it, he met Yuzuha too somewhen. (chapter 84, Mitsuya (to Taiju) : "Hakkai’s been protecting Yuzuha this whole time from your domestic violence.")
He knows two siblings out of three and has a close bound to one of them since Hakkai is his vice captain but as a stranger to Taiju, as a not family friend, as someone who didn’t know all the informations (Yuzuha protecting Hakkai and not the other way around) he was not caught in this mess, he wasn’t a part of it (once again, the Shiba keeping everythings to themselves). And after the Christmas Showdown, since things calmed down, he can look at this mess and clean it up – well, help to. He isn’t going to do everything by himself, it isn’t his job nor his mess to begin with but he can show Taiju how it is done while being a middle ground for the siblings to talk if they ever wish to.
Taiju took the ‘cut yourself the ties’ route ; Yuzuha and Hakkai were probably waiting to do so after reaching adulthood so why wait when he can leave already ? It leaves his youngest siblings time and place to breathe, to not have to worry about him anymore (they might do things and fear he might yell or hit them but they eventually feel the relief of remembering he’s not here anymore.)
But with him away, no reconnection can happen. And in a way, Taiju may have thought about it, but not about acting on it. Hakkai and Yuzuha had two years to think and rethink about their entire life and Taiju wanted them to have more, perhaps forever – but Mitsuya comes to him, and yes it was about fighting Mikey but Mitsuya more than anyone knew Hakkai, his vice-captain, would be there. And Taiju wants to – he wants to see his younger brother. His younger sister. He loves them, always did but he also hurt them and he knows it. And if knowing your abuser actually fucking loves you hurts, knowing you hurt someone you love in a irrevocable way hurts too.
Taiju doesn’t make excuses for what he did – what would it do ? But make it look like he’s the victim ? Mitsuya doesn’t make excuses either, he sees a broken family and is here to help if they want to reconnect, he sees a man who acknowledges he fucked up and wants to do better and offers him a chance to do that. Wakui doesn’t make excuses for Taiju and neither do I. What he did was messed up but a lot of characters in Tokyo Revengers are messed up. Gotta wonder how and why they ended up in gangs /sarc
Mitsuya offers to Taiju a chance to prove he changed. First, by coming to help against Mikey, but mainly, by being nice to Luna and Mana (again, like the hell Mitsuya would’ve let them interact with Taiju if he hadn’t changed. We’re talking about mister "Whatever she does, do not hurt your sister, that’s what being a big brother is, asshole !" here.)
Mistuya knows if things would’ve been different in his life he could have ended up like Taiju. And, (this one hurts) Taiju knows if things would’ve been different in his life he could have ended up like Mitsuya.
At the end, although he came perhaps late (but it’s better than never), Mitsuya became Taiju’s role model.
Which leads me to this, that pisses me off… :
Tumblr media
(Edit: + Yuzuha (Talking about Takemichi to Hakkai): "In the end, he changed you and Taiju", chapter 110)
I understand what it is said Takemichi saved the Shiba sibs… BUT MITSUYA???!! like he’s the one who did the most for them, period. And yet it’s never talked about ? Like, never never, reread the manga as much as you want, Mitsuya is never thanked. For anything. And I doubt it was made on purpose, but actually... forgetting about Mitsuya makes sense.
Allow me to explain.
You don’t think of Mitsuya when something happen to the other founding members. He’s not present during the Moebius fight where Pah-chin gets arrested – you focus on Draken and Mikey and how it affects them, you focus on them fighting. And yet, we know Mitsuya tried to calm them down (chapter 21, Mitsuya (to Takemichi) : "Thanks to you. Even us captains couldn’t stop those two from fighting.").
You don’t think of him after Baji’s death either – you see him cry and then ? He’s not the only one crying. Focus on Mikey, Kazutora and Chifuyu (and maybe, maybe after you learn Sanzu and Baji were childhood friends you’d think of him too) – How does [thing] impact Mikey? We focus on things Takemichi focus on – Hinata, Mikey, many characters when he knows their death is comming and he has to stop it (Draken, Baji…) … there’s never, ever a focus on Mitsuya. He feels like a background character at time, there when you need him and that’s it. He doesn’t cause problem. Ever. Same with Draken, but Draken is loud when he wants people to listen to him Mitsuya is more level-headed than him (ie ; chapter 265, Draken : "We didn’t form this gang to do that sort of dirty tricks !!!  IF YOU TRY TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT PAH, I’LL LEAVE YOU !", Mitsuya : "Mikey I don’t think Pah would like this idea either.") . They’re both solving problems, which aren’t even theirs. Mitsuya never throws the first punch, there are multiple moments where Draken does (Emma’s death for example, really sorry to have you remember it).
Which, explains why there’s never an arc caused by them. Pah-chin stabbed Osanai and ends up in jail – Peh-yan teams up with Kiyomasa to kill Draken. Moebius arc is about Pah-chin. Baji and Kazutora killed Shinichiro – that causes the Valhalla arc. Since Draken and Mitsuya never causes problems, while they’re present in the overall story (Draken more than Mitsuya), it’s never really focusing on them.
And Mitsuya could’ve been focused on in Christmas arc but it doesn’t happen does it. It talks a lot about the Shibas (which is normal), we have Takemichi and Hina on the side, Mikey showing his first really noticeable signs of not doing well…
(There is a small focus on mitsuya for 2 or 3 chapters when takemichi decides to form a ‘new’ gang (thousand Winters, later Toman 2nd gen) and goes recruit his friends because when he comes to Mitsuya – he’s not in the best of shape, clearly. It doesn’t last long. We’ve got a one week time jump and Mitsuya is magically all better (smiles as much as you always do i know you’re still depressed). There’s also his flashback when he first met Draken and the few times where he fights but honestly it’s never that much.)
When does Mitsuya ever do something because it’s something he decided to do for himself? He decides by himself to make that truce with Taiju – he wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for freeing Yuzuha. He lets his hair covers his head tattoo because Draken ordered asked him to. He doesn’t follow Mikey and pursues his dream of becoming a fashion designer because Draken asks him to. He loves sewing but wouldn’t have found out about this if he didn’t decide to make a plushie for his sisters as a child (chapter 198 : "Since we were poor… i couldn’t buy Luna and Mana any toys. This is the first stuffed animal i tried to make for them. I started enjoying sewing as i made things like this.").
The only instances where he does it’s when he ran away from home, when he got the dragon tattooed on his head and then ? He does indeed join Toman second gen – Takemichi, Hakkai and Chifuyu went to pick him up.
Mitsuya is a supportive character, literally. He’s only there to support either emotionally or in fights and he never brings attention on himself when doing so (perhaps a reason he admired the Haitani – they know how to be the center of attention, added to "They’re the type of deliquents who are urban and stylish" in chapter 248.)
Mitsuya doesn’t seem to hold grudges as in chapter 244 he says "That should be my resentment shouldn’t it ?" after Hakkai said "I also got someone that I have to kill, Haitani Ran ! The guy who crushed Taka-chan’s head !!" and that’s can either be because of his role as Toman mediator or he just doesn’t (and that’s why he’s Toman mediator, since he’s never the one to cause fights) (I mean, it was two years ago but still. Perhaps it’s because Ran got beaten up by Angry after so there's no need for revenge–.)
The first time he appears in the story it’s to stop another Toman member from being violent with Takemichi.
Chapter 10 : "Why’re threatening the president’s guest ?"
Second, it’s for expositions.
Chapter 11 : " ‘Moebius’ is a biker gang two generations older than us who’s been controlling Shinjuku.  [..] Toman is over Shibuya. Shinjuku is a different story. Plus toman is still a new gang. […] The Moebius leader is a guy named ‘Osanai’. He got into a fight with Pah’s best friend over some trifling thing. So the Moebius members ganged up on Pah’s friend. Then they raped his girlfriend right in front of him, strung up his family and took their money. So as a last resort, he came to Pah for advice. [...] Moebius is that sort of gang."
Third, explanations.
"Mikey was gonna use money to buy Pah-chin’s freedom. But Draken was agaisnt it. […] Even us captains couldn’t stop those two from fighting. […] If you hadn’t stopped ‘em, toman would’ve been in some serious shit.", "When it was settled within Toman that nothing could be done about Pah-chin’s arrest… Peh-yan was the one who couldn’t let it slide."
Let’s not forget Takemichi wouldn’t have succeeded to save Draken if he hadn’t find Mitsuya (since he shows him the way to get to the parking lot).
And it goes on and on… (ie : chapter 38, he is the one stopping Baji from beating Takemichi up ; in chapter 53 he’s here for exposition again: "We’re already at a disandvantage in numbers, with Toman’s 150 versus Valhalla’s 300. But they’re older than us, and stronger, too.  Even if we captains can handle them, the guys below us can’t.")
He is silent. I don’t know if it was made on purpose (again it’s never explicitly said or implicitely talked about) but he never draws attention on him and if we readers look at him and everything to have happen in his life (friends’ death, parentification, where the hell is his father…) and go "yeah he’s fine" because he looks like it, what do other characters think ? Caring, calm, mature… he can’t have problems now does he. He’s always here and it goes unnoticed. As much as I would have hated for it to happen (who am i kinding i love angst) I wonder how Mikey and the rest of Toman would’ve handled his death if Wakui’d had ever decided to kill him (Manila doesn't count) – no matter if it’s before or after the promise to never leave Mikey’s side in chapter 86. (Mikey : "We’re down to half now. Of the founding members. […] Mitsuya, don’t you go disappearing on me !!" Mitsuya : "… Yeah. I promise.")
This promise is also very interesting. It reinforces the idea of Mitsuya being constantly there for support. Mitsuya is caring and kind, he’s in a gang and he fights but he’s pacific still. He’s here for protection. (chapter 84 : Violence should be used to protect." ; "Hakkai […] only use your strength to protect." ; chapter 96 : "This (knife) isn’t something you use to protect others.")
However in timelines where Mikey goes down a dark path, as he has promised to not leave, he has to go rid of that moral (chapter 117, Draken : "Mikey… you chose the path of violence . From now Mitsuya and me put our lives in your hands. It’s our choice .")  He can’t leave Mikey alone. (he does in Bonten and in the final arc but it’s because Mikey says so. Because Mikey is the one making clear he doesn’t want him by his side anymore.) And it’s said twice he is not meant for deliquency I really want to know how he handled it. (Chapter 239 : Takemichi thinking "He does not belong in the world of deliquent. He should be in this (fashion) world instead !" ; chapter 122, Draken : "You’re actually so worried [...]About your little sisters. It’s written all over your face. You’re a good person. Being a deliquent wouldn’t suit you.") I mean, he literally enters this world saying "I’m gonna be a deliquent who cares about his family !!" (chapter 122) which, one, his family is tied to every aspects of his life, two, they (pretty much) all care about their family in this story (story built on siblings’ relationships with each others) and I won’t say it’s ‘more important’ for Mitsuya, but he thinks about it more than the other characters. (Never once does Takemichi talks/thinks about his parents, except that time to tell us he doesn’t think about them. (chapter 1 : "The instant I thought I was gonna die… I didn’t remember my parents or my friends."))
And listen, the only character explicitly saying he’ll follow Mikey whatever that might let him is Sanzu. (chapter 256: "Mikey. As you fall deeper into the shadows. No matter if you kill me along the way, i will give all of my life for you.") And Kakucho does the same for Izana. (chapter 164 : "I’ll follow the man I offered my life to into hell, if that’s where his path leads.")
Mitsuya had had to take care of his sisters at a young age, responsabilities he shouldn’t have had to carry AND with his mother rarely there and his father who knows where, he couldn’t reach out for support, he had to be the support. Help his mother, help his sisters, no need for him to be helped – no one to help him. He got rid of a good chunk of his childhood, he couldn’t do things he wanted to because he had to play parent (taking care of his siters, cooking dinners, chores…).
And most importantly – his mother already have a lot to do for their family, even if he needed help, he can’t add that to his mother’s issues to deal with. Surely, he can manage somehow. (Chapter 247 : Hakkai : "Can I hear a ‘help me’ from Taka-chan !? » Mitsuya : "Hell no, you dumbass ! », like I know this is a joke. But mitsuya doesn't ever ask for help so…)
Then there’s the day he ran away from home with his mind set on not coming back. His child-brain, child-self, couldn’t handle not being free to be a child (chapter 122, Mitsuya "I was thinking… you’re lucky… My mom’s never at home. I gotta spend all my time after school looking after my two little sisters."). And then he meets Draken and he goes back home and he learns to appreaciate what he has, no matter how traumatized it leaves his brain. He accepts that part of him that wants to run away, but he also shoves it aside. (chapter 101 : "I told you no to hate the situation you were born into, like a showoff. But in reality, I really hated mine. [...] Hakkai, you’re not the only one who wants to run away. »)
Being the one to take on the role of parent at age 10 or so leaves marks, no questions asked. Looking how parentification affects children going through it, it makes a lot of sense for Mitsuya. To not brag about what he does. To not tell anyone what he does – what would it matter ? He’s only doing his job of mediator. He deals with things with a smile on his face. (chapter 85: "His home life looked really hard. But he smiled about it.")
Dad never coming back ? Can deal with.
Raising two sisters ? Can deal with.
Kazutora killing Mikey’s brother and going to jail ? Can deal with.
Pah-chin in jail ? Can deal with.
Baji’s death ? Can deal with.
Mikey distancing himself ? Can deal with.
Draken dying —
Tumblr media
Break.
And he stays like that for 3 days at least (chapter 238, Luna : "But the thing with draken-kun happened, y’know ? Ever since my brother started to shut himself in. He keeps on designing and doesn’t even fet out to eat. Mana got scared, too..." ; Hakkai: "Taka-chan… you lost so much weight...") before Takemichi, Hakkai and Chifuyu come to see him. Then, one week later he seems all better. He most definitely isn’t, okay ? I refuse to believe this. His oldest friend, his twin dragon is dead. The reason why he met everyone else is dead. Toman – the founding members gave Mitsuya this fun/childhood he lacked, and without Draken he wouldn’t have ever got that.
Mitsuya does everything that is asked of him. Be his sisters’ caretaker, done. Be toman peacemaker, done. Never leave Mikey’s side, easy as cake. He also does what is not asked of him with helping the Shiba siblings.
He does everything, he never says anything.
Takemichi fought Taiju once and refused to give up when opposing him.
Mitsuya fought Taiju, refused to give up, then helped him change and grow (which implies staying in touch – getting in touch to start with).
Takemichi is thanked to have changed Taiju (and he may, yes, have been the trigger). Mitsuya is not when he’s most certainly the reason Taiju succeeded to change that much.
And it works.
It works because Mitsuya never brags (‘what is there to brag about ?’) (if we ignore his 12y/o self bragging about his Impulse in chapter 63) but he acts and people take it as granted and he sees it as things not worth mentionning and/or remembering.
In conclusion, Mitsuya is highly underappreciated. And thanking Takemichi is good and he deserves it with all the things he did thorough all the story — but Mitsuya needs his more than well-deserved thanks too.
