spider-noir has inspired me to redraw that one old spiderverse style thing from 2-ish? years ago so im just gonna drop this here i dont really know what else to say lol
i dont want to spoil toooo much cuz i have a fic and all will be explained in due time,,, but!! i will say that yugo was a researcher/engineer for alchemax and he had a fourth lesson for yuma: "with great power comes great responsibility" :)))) (im so evil)
minor spoilers for tumblr folks hehe
also if you have any specific questions feel free to send asks i am very friendly i promise! i would be very happy to share!! i would talk abt it more but i just have no idea where to start or what to talk abt lol i have the entire thing plotted out from beginning to end with a ton of notes like ive been developing it for literal years it takes up so much of my brain space ngl
it makes me really happy that you're interested in my silly little au :D

i just wanted to start a new show but instead i stayed up until 1 am working on this fuck ass assignment. i worked on it for like 6 hours yesterday, reread it tonight, thought it was shit and started over. why did i take this class. i thought it would be easy but it's one of the hardest classes i have taken to date. wtf. like wdym some weeks i have read four chapters of supplemental materials (articles, textbooks etc), 4 books, and write an essay in ONE WEEK i am so done with ts. AT LEASSSTTTT the material is interesting??? and the professor is really cool and chill?? (when he grades and leaves notes he uses ":D" and his introduction picture was him in full armor cosplay get up, and i love that for him, honestly) so it's not the worst thing in the world, but my holy moly it's a lot of work. last week we were assigned to read the entire fucking textbook plus supplemental chapters, and then find and read material to write our discussion board on. like BRUHTHER, the ENTIRE textbook. bruh.
"Why don't you use ai?" because i HATE ai. I HATE IT WITH A BURNING PASSION AND I HATE WHAT IT'S DOING TO OUR EARTH. I WILL NEVER USE IT TO DO MY WORK FOR ME (or for anything). and a lot of my books are physical. sorry i actually WANT to LEARN, even if that means a lot of fucking work. i grew up going to a k-12 school where a 96% and above was an A, and to me anything less than that was unacceptable, and that shit sticks with you i swear to god. two years later in uni im still getting used to a 92% and above is an A, like i lowkey forget. it's made me a perfectionist and by god i want that goddamn A that i achieved with my own brain and my own two fucking hands. AND if we get caught using ai its like automatic failure and i need my credits thank you very much lmao
Mmmmmmmmmmm WT ramble ahead because I genuinely wonder about this all the time and I NEED to get it out of my system. World trigger is such a fleshed out and well-written story, but it’s the first chapters and details that still throw me off any time I think about it, even after like 5-6 years of being obsessed with it. I also know that undoubtedly some of this information will be wrong because I’m fucking stupid tm (/lh), but its the best I got and it’s the information I currently remember lol. (When reading through this again, all the questions seemed very critical in tone but I promise it’s all in good fun. It’s supposed to be lighthearted because while it confuses me, I find it quite funny sometimes. SMILES ONLY) (very long post)
Under the cut so it doesn't take up so much room oml
When Yuma first came to Japan, why did he go to school? Like this has been my greatest question from the very first time I watched the series. Yugo told him to go to Japan and find his friend in Border, so why go to school? What made him think that was the best idea? If I was in his shoes, and my father told me my entire life that Border was an organization that tried making friends with neighbors, I would think that a friend of my dad’s is a friend of mine. I would’ve waltzed right up there. I get that he’s a seasoned vet, and is weary of new places, yada yada, he wanted to get information first. But why go to a random middle school to get that information? What made him think that other children would have the answers when Yuma's idea of Border at the time was very different to how it is now.
What’s even the point in enrolling in school, especially because he was so ready to bounce ship three days later? Like, “Oh yeah, I’m the new transfer student, it’s good to be here!” And fucking disappear a few days later. What? He was NAWT planning on staying. If I was in that class, I would've been hella confused. It’s not like he would've been around to deal with it, so it’s no skin off his back, but still. He also came to Japan ready to give up his life and die. So whyyyyyyy school??? I like to think that he simply wanted to know what it felt like lol, but realistically I can’t wrap my head around those decisions. I am a firm believer that if he met Osamu some other way it would be a lot more realistic. Maybe then I wouldn’t have all these goddamn questions lmao.
I also wonder about how he even got enrolled. Honestly, I’m not very well-versed in Japanese, um, like school laws(?), and I grew up in the midwest so im only really familiar with my state's laws and my perspective is a little limited, I guess, so I’m curious. Like you have to have a parent or guardian sign you up, right, so how did he do it? Did Replica forge documents? Did they lie? Did they put down Replica as a contact or smth or did they put down nothing at all? Or are there laws where you can be emancipated at 15? Because even if he could be emancipated, I highly doubt he’s registered in the legal system anyways. There’s no way that would be possible. I think at this point in the series he’s still not registered anywhere, because how tf would they even go about that, right?
And that brings me to my next question. How is Yugo’s status registered in the system? He kind of just straight up dipped, so did anyone report him as missing? Dead? Governments usually like to keep track of those things (esp for benefits and taxes and stuff), so I would be very surprised if they just let someone disappear and not do anything to update legal documents. Maybe he reported it as moving to a different country? But he would have to be very specific about addresses and stuff, so it would be difficult. I’m pretty sure he just left one day and did not do anything about it. At least I haven’t come across any information that would tell me otherwise. So, If he’s still technically alive in the Japanese legal system because no one did anything to change it, could Yuma have affiliated himself with Yugo to enroll in school? My guess was that they probably did not do that lol.
Also how tf did they get an apartment? Literally when I first watched the series and Replica mentioned an address, I was like "HUH???" I thought that Replica just made something up to get the police off their backs, but then Iater it mentioned he actually lived somewhere I think??I mean, Yuma has plenty of money, but how did the system allow him to get an apartment without guardianship or emancipation status? Idk if you can even be emancipated in Japan. I tried looking it up and got very unclear answers. I know he’s living at Tamakoma now, but I'm pretty sure it was stated somewhere that he had his own place of residence before moving. If they did put Replica down as a “guardian,” that would fall apart in seconds if anyone had the brains to double check. Replica is most definitely not a legal person in any system anywhere. It would be forgery.
ANNNDD another point, switching gears here. That’s enough about school and apartments cuz it makes my brain hurt. This is not a burning question about the logistics of the story, but something I personally wonder about.
I wonder about Yugo’s relatives, namely his parents. I don’t think he had siblings because they’re never mentioned. But everyone has parents, it’s just a question of whether they’re alive, dead, or not in your life for another reason. It’s probably a situation similar to Yuma’s mother where “readers can assume she died” because Yugo said to go find his friend and not Yuma’s mom. He did not tell him to go find his parents lmao. I’m guessing Yugo is similar in age to Kido, so he would've been in his late thirties or early forties when he died. That’s VERY young, and you would assume your parents would still be alive if they didn’t die from unnatural causes. Like my parents are 60 and one of my grandparents is still alive.
It also makes me wonder why he never mentioned them, to our knowledge. To be fair, Yugo didn’t mention anyone from Meeden besides Mogami. It seemed like he didn’t talk much about Meeden at all.
So that leads me to picture a couple possibilities.
The first is that his parents are actually dead. I like to think that they actually died from neighbors, and that’s what initially sparked his interest in the other world and what drove him to help establish Border. The simplest possibility, pretty much all I have to say about that.
Another is that they are alive but he didn’t have a good relationship with them. It would make sense, in a way, to never mention them if he never wanted Yuma to know about them because of a strained relationship. I can also imagine how disappearing one random day could strain that even more. Or if investigating people from another dimension created tension. Especially back then when the Neighborhood was relatively unknown. It would look like a wild goose chase from an outside perspective that didn’t understand.
And the least likely possibility but the most fun to think about: they are simply still alive and kicking, Yuma just doesn’t know it (lol). Yugo never mentioned anyone he knew besides Mogami, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he just didn't mention them either. They might be living in some part of Japan, not necessarily Mikado, but just living with the fact that their son disappeared one day and they had to move on with their life, unaware of anything. Or maybe Yugo told them, but they haven’t heard anything since. Neither Yugo’s parents or Yuma know the other exists, and it’ll stay like that because there’s no reason for either to think otherwise.
I like to think about the possibility that Yuma might have some living relatives left because it's so goddamn depressing to know that he’s completely orphaned. Ashihara made quite the point to make him alone. Like no relatives anywhere. Like his mother is dead, her parents are probably dead because they made no effort to go see them in the Neighborhood (to our knowledge), and she probably had no siblings, so no aunts or uncles or cousins. Nothin’. Nada. It was just Yugo and Yuma. BUT Yugo had this whole other life that he didn’t talk much about for some reason. So it’s possible to think that maybbeee he has grandparents on his dad’s side.
And I think about this because it’s very common for authors to simply not think about characters not relevant to the plot. I know I don’t. Like my ocs? I don’t really think about or develop their families (because most are adults), and they’re not mentioned unless they serve a purpose. It could be very likely that Yuma’s grandparents aren’t mentioned or exist in the story literally because the author put no thought into them whatsoever. And honestly, no other character in the story has their grandparents mentioned (I think), even though we can guess that many of the characters probably do have them. But there’s also people like my twin (hi bestie, if you see this) who puts so much thought into every single character, down to plotting out multiple generations of characters with extensive family trees, and then developing ALL OF THEM. Even if they’re not in the story, we know they exist. I don’t know how they do it fr. So, either the author did not develop it to that point or he does know they exist and they’re just dead, and we as readers can assume they’re dead too.
BUT if they were dead, why? Neighbors, disease, car accident, idk, could be anything and we’ll probably never know. If they were alive, they’d probably be between 60-70 years old. Which is old but not like… that old to be dying of old age? So yeah.
IIIII don’t know. It’s fun to think about. Still also tearing my hair out about the decision to send Yuma to school right off the bat. It does not make sense to me. Like I cannot be the only one who’s thought about this. But hey, it was entertaining so who cares about logistics. I just like to know things lmao.
If you read this far, GOLD STAR. Maybe you have some things to mull over now too. I would love to hear thoughts and opinions :) or if there’s information out there that I missed that would shed some more light on these topics, lmk because I will eat that up. Okkieeee that’s it. Thank you!!
