I don't know why, but I absolutely despise the "Kensei hits Shuhei when he says something stupid" as a funny joke trope. I hate it a lot. To be completely honest, I don't think it's in character for Kensei. I don't think he'd hit Shuhei period, maybe that's why I dislike it so much. Even when he's mad he's never done anything like that.

Mini baby Kenshuu: What I saw wasn't a dream, it was real. Santa Claus kissed Papa Shuu.😧 Finally, Papa Shuu found a man worth his salt, unlike that useless Papa Kensei.

Kensei, who had dressed up as Santa Claus: 🙂

Shuhei:🤣

I know this is just shonen manga, but man. wind breaker is really out here not only portraying the anger and helplessness of being a mistreated, neglected child, but both of the cases here in this arc happen to be female characters.

and they’re not blamed or gaslit into forgiving the society and the system that failed them, their anger isn’t something they’re shamed for (which is traditionally double the case if you’re a woman). instead, they’re listened to, encouraged to process the emotion and understand where it comes from.

and not only that, the societal expectation and moral necessity of “forgiveness” as a way of healing, is even criticized by the narrative and the characters alike.

this is also one of the rarer occasions when we see a character like umemiya get genuinely angry to the point it even scares kotoha.

it’s even more impressive if you remember that not long ago, we had an arc centering another female character, who was fighting gender oppression in a smart and subtle way while she was underestimated by everyone, including her brother as the person who loved her the most and thought he had to save her up until then.

and don’t get me started on tsubakino’s amazing story about defying gender norms and living your authentic self.

idk, this just feels extremely important especially since it’s a battle focused manga targeting a young male audience.

anyway, I love wind breaker so much. 🫠👍

From this, To this

This mtfk even get me to draw fucking ancient China armor (I dont even know how to paint metal my fucking god)

[assiraphales]

I’m actually done skirting around the subject the fact that marvel ruined steve and bucky’s relationship was purposefully CRUEL. idgaf whether or not u liked the ship or not, but the mcu had established that steve rogers and bucky barnes loved each other to the point that only the grim reaper itself could separate them. their tagline was “til the end of the line” = til death do us part. they’d rather die (‘no not without you!’ and steve letting the winter beat him unconscious) than leave the other behind. they’d been frozen for the better part of a century — steve in the ice and bucky in cryo — and they still found their way back to each other. bucky broke thru 70 years of brainwashing torture and programming at the sight of his best friend. steve dropped the shield twice and finally found his way back to being steve rogers & not just captain america. they’d kicked screamed and crawled thru hell to each other and they deserved to be happy!!! it thematically made sense to let them be HAPPY! to go to baseball games and bitch about the dodgers moving to LA, to watch their favorite books as movies, to finally see the grand canyon. ending their relationship w steve leaving bucky alone in the future was a disservice to ten years of film precedent and DECADES of comics. steve rogers, no matter the circumstance, would not leave bucky. not til the day he died. & quite frankly I’m sick of the narrative that we were delusional shippers for being upset that their friendship was sent thru a wood chipper

WinHero Togasaku Masterlist 🐢🌸

So recently, Wind Breaker Rebel Heroes game has been released! A key feature of the game is that you can interact with other characters as Sakura. And TogaSaku has been graced with very shippy dialogues!

I'm compiling the links of translations here, most are posted on Twitter. Thank you so much for those who are sharing <3 This post will be edited appropriately as we uncover more dialogues between Togame and Sakura <3

Togame wants to be the cool guy Sakura asked him to be

Choji mentioning to Sakura that Togame considers him someone he owes his life to (and pointing out that Sakura blushed right after)

Togame wonders in front of Sakura about Sakura being in Shishitoren instead

Togame invites Sakura to the festival and promises to treat him to yakisoba

Togame talking about the festival and saying he will make an omusoba for Sakura when he comes to their stall

Togame inviting Sakura to an upcoming festival in their neighborhood

Togame inviting Sakura to the arcade to play together

Togame and Sakura both preferring coffee milk

Sakura tells the person he is with that Togame is a big eater

Togame inviting Sakura to the public baths

A sleepy Togame asks Sakura if he would carry him home

Togame assures Sakura that there won't be a fight, and then tells him that he doesn't hate that side of Sakura

Togame and Sakura both do not like using chat apps

Sakura wants to try wearing geta, so Togame tells him he'll pick a pair for him so good that he won't go back to shoes anymore

Choji asks Sakura if he also likes Togame

Sako telling Sakura that Togame favors him

Togame asks Sakura if he could wear his Shishitoren jacket for a bit (after saying that Sakura would have been recruited by Shishitoren if he didn't go to Furin)

(More to come!)

Analyzing the way the Bofurin boys sleep, and how it reflects their personalities

Wordy title, but I think it explains the intent of this post well enough.

(obligatory) DISCLAIMER: I am not a sleep doctor or professional. Certain sleeping positions may or may not reflect personality traits IRL. But given that these are fictional characters, I thought it would be interesting to analyze the characters using this certain angle as I’m sure Nii Satoru had taken their canon characteristics in mind in the process of making this sketch.

That’s enough yapping though, let’s just get into the post lol

Nirei

Amongst the other characters in 1-1 here, the way Nirei sleeps is quite… strange. His pillow is strewn far away from him + his blanket is pretty much discarded. Both of these things (and his unnatural position) imply that Nirei is a very restless sleeper, which could reflect his heavy anxieties or overt enthusiasm.

As for the position itself, it almost looks like Nirei is crawling rather than sleeping normally. Given how one side of his body is leaning like that, it’s not the most comfortable nor healthiest for a teenager. But do you know what age group in particular sleeps with their hips raised into the air in a similar fashion to Nirei?

Babies. Nirei literally sleeps like a baby. (Infants are also prone to kicking away blankets as well!)

This isn’t to say that Nirei is mentally or subconsciously an infant, though. I believe it can refer to his lack of physical strength when he first joined Furin. As he trains under Suo and gets stronger, Nirei develops his confidence and fighting skills more, ie. he’s slowly growing as a person.

Tsugeura

Tsugeura’s way of sleeping is also a bit over the place. His arms are stretched out, his shirt is disheveled, and his legs are also strewn about. Tsuge’s mouth is wide open, so I’ll assume he also snores (and dear god snoring is loud). But despite the fact his sleeping position would occupy the most size in a bed, Tsuge looks quite relaxed. All of these characteristics point to the fact that Tsugeura is a pretty rambunctious person, though he does know when to step back if needed.

Suo

In contrast with the previous boys, the way Suo sleeps is much more composed. His head is flat against a pillow, he clasps his hands when he sleeps (which adds to Suo’s generally dignified demeanor), and he actually uses a blanket! There’s not much to comment here, but the stillness of Suo’s pose could resemble a corpse—which only adds to the mysteriousness of his character.

Sakura

Sakura’s position is also quite healthy—it resembles a fetal position, but his joints remain stacked. However, Sakura uses his forearms to support his head. This is not healthy and can lead to arm/neck problems, which implies that Sakura doesn’t sleep with a pillow or even a makura in with his futon.

Although sleeping without the support of a pillow can be healthy for some people, this only emphasizes how neglected Sakura was growing up (you can’t even see a pillow provided in his flashback). He’s used to always supporting himself, even in a state when he’s supposed to rest. Someone get this poor guy a flat pillow so he can comfortably sleep

Kiryu

As opposed to Sakura, Kiryu sleeps comfortably despite living in a shed. He uses a body pillow and hugs it, which promotes a sense of comfort and security for the hugger—but he also locks his legs around the pillow, making this gesture seem a lot more clingier than it should be. It only goes to show his laidback personality, but it’s no surprise he might seek out other means of security given his home situation. Kiryu also has a tendency to hug his cushions even when he isn’t sleeping (cute)

Sugishita

Sugishita’s position is… not very healthy to say the least. When one sleeps, it’s generally recommended to sleep on your spine and not on your stomach (unless there are health reasons you might need to sleep on your tummy instead). He usually sleeps with his face on a desk, which isn’t an issue within itself.

Unfortunately, Sugishita sleeps on his stomach quite often (since we see him wake up that way in the manga). It’s an easy position to fall asleep in (given how Sugi always seems so fatigued + he takes naps often), but it can mess with your spine in the long term This is probably why his posture is kind of screwed.

Kaji

Kaji’s position is also pretty weird. It looks like the Peter Griffin Fallen pose lmfao

Aside from that, Kaji is also shown to be a restless sleeper, given his unnatural position (all his weight is sitting on that poor arm) and a pillow being present but not used. However, this could probably indicate how Kaji tries to suppress his ‘beast’ in his day to day life, and its erratic nature may be subconsciously manifesting itself as he sleeps.

Umemiya

Umemiya’s pose is similar to Tsugeura’s, however his body is a lot less spread out. This can reflect his cheery personality, while retaining his general composure as the top of Bofurin and someone that many people respect/admire.

Ume is also shown to be asleep with his reading glasses and a book in his hand, implying that he likes to read before he sleeps, which is a healthy habit to have before going to sleep. Umemiya likes to read in general, usually loughing with a book on the Furin rooftop.

He is the only character we see using a bed in this art, which shows that the kids at the orphanage sleep on beds rather than futons. Just like Sugishita, we see a makeshift mount (made of books?) to accommodate Ume’s tall height.

Hiiragi

Compared to Umemiya, Hiiragi’s arms are crossed while he sleeps—reflecting his strict and rather uptight personality. Doing this can also be a self-soothing act [as a way to protect oneself subconsciously], which is needed for someone like Hiiragi who often gets stressed easily.

In conclusion: Tsugeura, Suo and Umemiya sleep in the healthiest way. Don’t sleep like Sugishita on a bed kids

Kensei lives in love with a singer of a rock band

At all his concerts, Shuhei always looks around for that silver-haired fan in the audience.

[kazashiniwielder]

So I fully believe that Rose started a band for the Gotie 13, because screw it every other freaking military has an official band, so should the Gotie thirteen!

Rose is the most passionate about this, followed by Shuhei who has finally learned how to play the guitar. Izuru just goes along with it because it’s his taichou and best friend, so what is he going to do?

Rose sets up two types of bands. There’s a band who focuses more on traditional music, and then Rose’s own pet project that is a metal band, because Rose loves European Metal music for some reason. Shuhei is part of that one because it allows him to use his electric guitar and the the practices are once a week instead of daily, otherwise Kensei would not let this happen.

Izuru is in charge of the band. Third division members who are musically talented are the first to join, then others join with the intent to learn. Izuru doesn’t really know shit about music, but fortunately others do.

[kazashiniwielder]

So after the war is all over and everything is on the road to recovery, the Gotie 13 need to start rebuilding all of their divisions too.

The first division is focusing more on the Shino Academy. After all they need bodies, but they need trained bodies, so ain’t no one just going to skate through the academy. Nanao Ise is chosen to oversee the graduation exams to ensure the people graduating are actually ready to join the Gotie 13 and not just being pushed through.

The second division is still out hunting for any escapees from the war. The Ishida family was pardoned and therefore is not to be touched, but the other quincies who escaped and could pose a threat are being watched to make sure they don’t try anything. Soi Fon begins a club for self defense for female shinigami that Marchiyo didn’t think was the best idea, but is ignored.

The third division creates the Gotie 13 band to help promote high moral. Shuhei Hisagi helps out with this when he can, but it’s mainly Rose and partially Izuru’s pet project.

The fourth division is overwelmed, trying to care for all the people while also trying to figure out their new leadership. Isane steps in flawlessly, running the division exactly as her mentor had before. She also takes over Unohana’s flower arranging class, because it also helps with moral

The fifth isn’t like the others, they don’t really have a specialty. As the taichou, Aizen felt that wasn’t necessary. Shinji actually agrees with that, one of the only things they ever agreed on, preferring to be more adaptable. Instead Shinji and Momo try to help other divisions rebuild.

The sixth division is still connected to the Kuchiki Clan, and one of their first jobs is to help rebuild the building for the archives for the Gotie 13, a project Byakuya oversees. They also begin to help out the ninth division more with security duty since the ninth can’t do it alone anymore. Renji takes over the Gotie 13 kickball tournaments because the previous leader was killed.

Tetsuzemon Iba has a hard time taking over the seventh division. Rose comes to visit him from time to time, having worked with his mother in the past. Love drops by every so often as well to give him pointers. Iba focuses on developing his division after the fifth’s example, being diverse as possible.

The eighth suffered the least in the war due to not really participating because they had no leadership. Therefore when Lisa takes over she makes sure they are actively assisting the other divisions. Her main priority is the fourth division. She also works with Nanao on assessing the graduating students.

Kensei, Mashiro, and Shuhei make a strong team for leading the ninth. They divide up the work since the ninth actually has multiple jobs that include the magazine, the security force, and are supposed to promote culture. Shuhei makes sure all the clubs are still running to give people an escape and is working to restart the magazine to give people entertainment. Mashiro leads the security teams, getting people from the sixth, seventh, an eleventh to assist. Cooking and writing contests are used to help improve moral.

Toshiro and Rangiku don’t really know where to start at first. They’re division also doesn’t really have a specialty. However they find they can easily help by just being themselves. Toshiro checks on the other divisions, especially the fifth, to make sure people aren’t running themselves into the ground. Rangiku takes the other officers out for drinks regularly to do the same thing. 

The eleventh division is actually pretty down on moral. They lost Yachiru, something that hit them all hard because while they like the atmosphere of the 11th, the cheerful girl running around was candy was always a nice change. Kenpachi and Ikkaku jump back into training, and Yumichika ensures there’s more enjoyable things for the division to do. They send people to the ninth on security patrols and work to rebuild.

The twelveth is the least changed on moral. The division as a whole always had low moral to begin with. However it is going up because now they’re taichou can’t use any of them for his experiments as they are too low on people. They, like the fourth, are the most utilized the division in the rebuild as their technologies are needed to help create temporary structures until perminate ones can be made.

The thirteenth also took the loss of their taichou hard, but Rukia has proven to be an excellent head for them. With Kiyone and Sentaro as he advisors, the three help rebuild much of the thirteenth. They prioritize helping the sixth division and the eighth division. Love also stops by when he visits to see Sentaro.
