Shinichiro's new birthday game design!!!!
Shinichiro's new game animation! He looks so happy!
Shinichiro Sano top 10 moments!
10. Picking up Sanzu from juvie, Sanzu had no one else at this point so I'm sure he was appreciative of this. It's just another example of Shinichiro being a good guy.
9. Stopping the gang war between Wakasa and Benkei, we still have no idea how this happened exactly but whatever Shinichiro did it definitely worked. Not only did he stop a war which probably would've caused a lot of chaos but he's responsible for the close friendship Wakasa and Benkei ended up having.
8. Doing his best to make Emma feel welcome. It seems pretty clear the minute Shinichiro saw Emma he was in big brother mode, smiling and making jokes to try and make her feel better and vowing to make her smile.
7. Giving up his career and dedicating his life to Mikey in the first timeline. Shinichiro literally did everything he could to help Mikey and make his life more comfortable, even if it took it's toll on his own health.
6. Being kind to Inui and spending a lot of time with him. Poor Inui had lost his sister, seemed to have parents who were busy and his only friend was busy with money. He definitely needed someone and Shinichiro seems to have filled that role for him. We don't know a lot about their friendship exactly but it clearly meant a lot to Inui.
5. Wanting to save Mikey so much he commits murder and time leaps to save him. Ok Shinichiro was definitely not justified in the first bit, he shouldn't have done that and even Shinichiro himself acknowledged that. But he does manage to save Mikey and change things for the better, his devotion to Mikey is unmatched.
4. Finding Izana and trying to care for him, it's clear the amount of influence Shinichiro had on Izana's life, the amount of happiness Shin gave him. He really did his best to make Izana happy and care for him.
3. Founding the black dragons, Shinichiro was just out here making the most iconic gang Tokyo has ever seen. They come out of nowhere, establish themselves as the top gang and then just leave. Not even mentioning all the strong gens that follow.
2. Saving Takemichi from the kids and giving him the time leap, it's safe to say without Shinichiro the whole story wouldn't have happened and we never would've gotten our time leaping crybaby hero.
1. Raising Emma and Mikey, Shin was basically a parent to two kids as a teen with the way he was expected to care for his siblings. But we've never seen him complain or falter in caring for his siblings, he clearly did a great job raising the two of them.
Happy birthday to the best boy 🎂 🎉
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SHINICHIRO! The founder of the black dragons and one of the best siblings in tr!
Full look at Shinichiro's new game design!
Wakasa: how did your date go?
Shinichiro: we were driving our motorbikes for half an hour, then we had a picnic in a forest and she told me I could do whatever I want
Wakasa: so you finally kissed her?
Shinichiro: nope, I checked the engine oil level in her bike. it would be very dangerous to drive without it
This is so adorable 😭😭
Shinichiro's new game animation, he looks like he's having so much fun!
Time to grind in puzz reve so I get this version of Shin… to get all versions of Shin
Ok but hc Shinichiro would get out out the white leopard when Wakasa is acting grumpy and try to talk to him through it.
Wakasa 100% throws it across the room
Shinichiro holding Emma's bear!!!
A fun little Easter egg from the game here!
My first three-star character in puzz reve 😭
All those hustling was worth it 😭
Shinichiro is that sweet boy that’s always on your mind
After graduation, you still think about him and wonder what he’s up to nowadays. You wonder which path he took after high school. What does he look like? Is he still the same? Does he have the same friends? You wish you got his socials, at least a number. Sigh, but past is past.
Shinichiro wasn’t popular in High School. Well, he was but not popular in a way you’d think. He wasn’t those snobby popular kids that pass each other around and betray one another. He was just a well known delinquent who mainly hung out with his friends Wakasa, Benkei, and Takeomi. And he was always kind to everyone he encountered. Even you. ☺️
You weren’t popular but you weren’t a complete loner. You had your friends and liked to stick with that. You were known as the quiet girl so no one really spoke to you. And if anyone did, it always felt like you were being judged for existing so school was extremely uncomfortable. Until Shinichiro interacted with you in gym class (the class you hated most). That’s when things changed.
In PE, you were paired with Shinichiro to complete an obstacle course in front of everyone which made you completely nervous because you were weak in your upper body. You knew you’d hold Shinichiro back and you were afraid of everyone laughing at you, it made your anxiety worse. Your thoughts were interrupted by your PE teacher telling you to start, and just as you guessed, you couldn’t even climb up the rope to get to the ledge you were supposed to. When the ravenette got on the ledge, he leaned down, reaching his hand out for you. His words always echo in your head to this day. “Take my hand, I got you”, “you can do it, trust me”, “hey don’t pay mind to em, I’m your partner, I got you”, “There we go, ain’t so bad right?”. With that sweet smile on his face and his sweet tone. It was the first time someone spoke to you that way, of course it wouldn’t leave your mind. 💭
He became your PE friend and it made you love going there because he always made you laugh and forget about everyone else in the room. Whenever you passed each other in the halls, he’d always say a cute simple “hey” and you’d of course say “hey” back. When you’d spend your mornings outside the High School before classes begin, Shinichiro would give you company whenever he saw you (if he didn’t sleep in) and share half of his breakfast sandwhich with you. Whenever you’d be sitting in class, you’d giggle quietly to yourself when Shinichiro would make some stupid face, making fun of your boring teacher by the doorframe and suddenly run away when a custodian in the hall asks where he should be at the moment.😭
When finals came up, you were studying in the library and you were so into your books, the movement of the chair beside you startled you and the adorable ravenette apologized, asking if he can sit with you. Which you of course said yes to. He quietly asked you what you’re studying for and things like that and you remember admiring his features when he got to studying for his classes. That became a routine for you both. Meeting in the library to study together for your finals. Sometimes he’d have to leave early due to whatever gang thing he had going on. But, before he’d leave, he would always draw a chibi version of himself giving you a thumbs up, writing down things like -> “You got this!”, “Goodluck!”, “You’ll pass I know it!”, “Remember to take brain breaks!” and more on each sticky note he gave to you. 📝
And you kept them all.
Looking back, you wanna redo your graduation. Nothing bad happened, it was wonderful actually. There’s just one thing you wish you did, which was saying bye to Shinichiro. The reason you didn’t get the chance to was because your parents were in a rush to leave after they were done taking pictures of you. You remember looking back at Shinichiro and seeing his bright smile, his siblings and grandfather congratulating him and seeing his friends by his side for photos. You wish you approached him and thanked him for being kind to you. He doesn’t understand how that kindness meant a lot in your life.
He’s the boy you never stop thinking about. You still turn your head whenever you smell cigarette smoke, hoping it’ll be your favorite ravenette but of course you’re met with disappointment. Until one day as you’re taking a stroll, you spot a cool looking motorcycle shop and you do a double take seeing a man working on one of them. Your eyes widen as you recognize him immediately. It’s Shinichiro Sano. Without a second thought, you walk inside, catching the mechanic’s attention instantly. He’s about to professionally introduce himself til he recognizes you and his voice trails off. You basically broke this cute dork on the spot. You break the silly silence by saying hi to him and before you could say your name-
“Y/n, right?”
When you nod, he smiles and scratches the back of his neck. “Holy shit, it’s been awhile huh? You look..wow” a small blush appears on his face as he takes in your appearance. “Not that you weren’t wow before I’m just saying uh..y’know?” He seemed to internally smack himself for sounding nervous with you but you’re too busy admiring his tall ass to even notice. He hasn’t changed. Just his hair and of course, the maturity. Seeing him as a man now had your mind running wild. You and Shinichiro chat it up in his shop, catching up on everything and you so badly wanna tell him how much he’s been on your mind without sounding weird.
But don’t worry, he wants to tell you the same thing. He’s never stopped thinking about you either. 🤭
I voted for this choice in this poll and I am so happy this scene was written 🥹
This also feels realistic (?) given how kind Shin has been described to be canonically. Ahh please this is so cute I am giggling and kicking my feet in the air rn 😩
Hello. Anything fluff for Shinichiro please 🙏🫶
Pass The Wrench, Darling | Shinichiro x Reader <3
Ahh thank you so much for writing my request 🥺 You wrote it so well and so fast and I wish I could give you something for it but I’m broke so here are some flowers of my appreciation 🌹💐🌻🌺
I love how domestic this scene is, and how much of a simp, a dork, and a klutz Shin is. But seriously those make him so endearing ☺️
I saw you did an ideal type of girl for Mikey. Can I have the same requests for Baji and Shinichiro, please? 🥺🫶
Dark-haired guys got me on a chokehold it is not funny anymore 🥲
YES TY SM FOR REQUESTING
That’s so real, literally any Tokyo revengers character solos every anime boy there is like I’m not even joking😭( the whole Sano family got me kicking my feet like even the grandfather. I saw a fanart on when was young and I was dang😍)
But here you go love!
—————————————————————————
SHNICHIRO SANO
- everyone and their mother knows that poor Shinichiro was rejected 20 times. But they say the one finds you when you stop looking for them, and that’s what happened to Shinichiro when he found you. He gave up at that point, firmly believing that no one would love him and he’d die single. That is until a certain, girly walked in his bike shop, asking for a decent, good bike that’s fast. His heart beat up at the sight of you, you just looked so alluring and attractive. He was in a love daze as you were talking, explaining what bike you wanted.
- I think Shinichiro needs someone who is sweet and kind, and able to understand easily. As we see in the manga, he loses his patience and can be harsh when he’s in anger. He needs someone who is compassionate and willing to take any heat from him.
- of course he will try his hardest not to lash out on you when he’s angry. He’d be so sweet to you and lash out on someone else. But even that’s no good to you, like Mikey, he needs a moral compass. Someone who will teach him right from wrong.
- it’s very hard to grow up without a father figure and having to take the lead of raising 2 kids along with another raging teen, Shinichiro is an overwhelmingly stressed and needs your tender love to soothe him, you alone soothes him. The very thought of you staying by his side is comforting him in ways you don’t even know.
- He has the big brother personality engraved in him so he’s very protective of you. Headcanons include him always having his hand on you lower back, or him holding your hand, walks behind you all the time, shielding his arm around your shoulder. When you’re sitting down on a bench, he has his arm around the bench behind you with his legs crossed talking to you so close. (When men do this I always get butterflies😛)
- As in looks, he doesn’t really care what you look like either, though I imagine him as someone who prefers a girl with long hair like Kuroo does😭 he thinks long hair girls look like princesses. If you had bangs too, he’d be all over you. Kissing you as much as you let him.
-he has been through so much, just make sure to stay by his side and you’ll be his number one. He’s planning to marry you when he has everything figured out <3
—————————————————————————
BAJI KEISUKE
- Baji was voted number 1 in best lover of Tr♥️ you already know 😍😍
- Baji is fierce, hot headed and outspoken. He appears to have a strong, intimidating demeanor but under all of that, he’s respectful and loving. He treats you so well and so nicely it keeps you up at night smiling.
- he needs someone who’s a almost the opposite of him. He was always smitten by the nice, soft girls when he grew up so he needs someone who is loving and loyal. Who stays by his side even when you don’t understand his reasonings. Someone who would do crazy stuff with him like burn abandoned cars. Someone who isn’t a kill joy with these things.
- he’d adore you if you found simple things like going to a gas station late at night more just riding his bike together with you at night exciting. His eyes would be glued to your face the whole night. Noting what excites you and what makes you happy so he could do it more often. He loves seeing you happy and enjoying every moment.
- Shares everything with you. He might’ve been an only child, but his mom taught him good things that make him a gentleman. He would share his food, earphone, anything you ask.
- he needs someone who is selfless. Someone who puts others feeling before theirs.
- for looks, he doesn’t care, as long as you’re healthy, he’s satisfied💕

Ty again so much for requesting <3
Please request more of these! I find them fun!
AHHH thank you so much for writing my request 🥺 I love this so much. I liked how you referenced Haikyuu for this, and how realistic/logical some of them are?? Like you took into consideration how hard it was to raise three kids (one sweetheart, one feral, and one angsty) and how only child may not have a default “must-share” way of thinking 🤩
I am on my knees for Shin and Baji just one chance please 🙇🏻♀️
Have a great day ahead and sending positive energies your way 🫶 🌟
AWW I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I’m so sorry the Baji one was short, I was kinda rushing on his.
But I am so happy you like it. Please feel free to request more!♥️♥️
Aww, you’re so sweet! Will do 🫡
No worries about the Baji one. It was cute! Also, bestie, can you drop the Grandpa Sano fanart you were talking about? It’s for scientific purposes 🤭
Thank you again!
In so shooketh😭😭THE SANO BLOOD IS STRONG
Thank you for sharing, bestie ☺️
Me when I saw this: 🫨🫨

( why is shin-nii so 🖤 ? )
If you are accepting Shin angst requests, how about him getting a S/O but his friends (Black Dragon Founders) don’t like her so he ends up breaking up with her but comes to regret it?? It might be a bit OOC for Shin but I just want groveling BD founders 🥺
Too Late {Shinichiro Sano}
A/n: I usually don't publicly comment on my requests and keep any comments or thoughts to myself but I will comment on this one. Shinichiro would never and when I say never I mean NEVER break up with his partner because his friends don't like them especially when their opinions are based on nothing or pure bs. He is proud of himself for finally finding someone and he is also proud of that someone.
ON THAT NOTE, I changed it because I don't write non canon stuff and made him break up with her for another reason. There are many ways to write og Black Dragons angst and I won't choose this to do so
Pairing: Shinichiro Sano x reader
Trigger warnings: breakup, implied sexual relationship, jealousy, slight if not entirely toxic relationship
You and Shinichiro becoming a couple was rushed to say the least. You had met during one of his rare nights out with the Akashi and Benkei -Wakasa was on a date- and at first it was all butterflies and rainbows for Shinichiro. He would look at you from his table at the pretty chill bar, make a few comments about how beautiful you were to his friends and overall just admire you.
Now, Shin has been through twenty rejections. His pride has been hurt but he is not one to give up. So, when he caught you gathering your things and getting ready to leave, he excused himself and walked towards you.
"Hey." His introduction was simple, honest. He introduced himself and told you that you were beautiful in the most straightforward way you can think of.
By the end of the night, you were tangled in your sheets, cuddled up after a quite intense session. Both of you were half asleep, partly because of the exhaustion the sex had caused and partly because of the difficult day the two of you had respectively.
When Shinichiro suggested you become his girlfriend, you were over the moon. I mean, despite the unpopular opinion, this guy had the whole package. He was sweet, good in bed, kind, hot, handsome and treated you like a queen... what else did you want?
The first few days were great, you met his family, his friends and he met yours. And it wasn't until you met Wakasa that the whole thing started going downhill.
Shinichiro knew -like most of the women and men- that Wakasa was one hell of a man. Even back to their teenage years, Wakasa had somewhat of a plethora of girlfriends and an insane amount of girls asking for just one date.
Shinichiro never had that and it was eating him alive because he was 24 and he had never had a girlfriend.
When the day came for you to meet the guys he was fine for the most part. Akashi wasn't your type and neither was Benkei, but Wakasa? Wakasa was everyone's type.
Those two hours you spent at his shop felt like an eternity. Suddenly everything bothered Shin. The way he had placed the chairs for you and his friends to sit, the way Wakasa's eyes constantly travelled between you and Shinichiro... he ran out of cigarettes, Mikey had misplaced one of his tool boxes for fun... everything was going horribly wrong.
And then he heard it...
"Would you like me to take you home?"
Wakasa's voice was loud and clear in his ears and that was the moment Shinichiro lost his mind internally.
Your eyes fell upon Shinichiro and you could swear that you could see his knuckles turn white from how hard he was holding the key. But to you? It was only because Mikey had messed up his entire shop.
"I... Shin are you planning on staying late?" You asked him with a smile on your face. Your question was more than justified, it was past the shop's closing time, Shinichiro had finished an order for a motorcycle just a few minutes ago and had already got started on another one.
But he didn't answer.
"Oi, man." Akashi slapped the back of his neck.
"No, let's go."
Maybe it was because of Mikey because despite his messy nature, Shinichiro was pretty organised when it came to his tools, but at that moment? All he could see was red and he had no idea who to blame. Wakasa for being such a flirt even when it came to his best friend's first girlfriend? You for not outright declining the offer no matter the case? Or himself for being so insecure and downright sure that even now that he had you, he wouldn't get his happy ending?
Wakasa exited the shop first and then you did, both of you waiting for the others.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Akashi whispered as Shinichiro was locking the door of his shop, Benkei standing next to him.
"You know he just wants her to be safe. All of us do," Benkei said, already having seen past his best friend's thoughts.
Shinichiro only smiled at them and naturally walked you back home without saying another word. Alone.
"You're not going to say anything?" You asked him, slightly concerned. He was far more calm than he was back at the shop but there was still an odd aura around him.
"Do you find Wakasa handsome?"
"Excuse me?" His question shocked you for a number of reasons. It was so out of the blue and not once during the two hours you spent hanging out with him and his friends did you ever imply that you preferred Wakasa over Shin.
However, Shinichiro had his mind fixed and the trauma from all those rejections was something that he had always brushed off as something not really important. Whatever your response was going to be, he would say the next words.
"I am sorry but I cannot be in a relationship with someone who likes my best friend."
To say you were shocked would be an understatement. And to say you didn't try to bring him to his right mind would be a lie. You asked, almost begged, for an explanation but all he said was that everyone liked Wakasa and kept mumbling to himself.
After an arguement that lasted more than an hour, you just got tired. It was as if you were talking to a wall. Shinichiro wasn't listening to you and from the first moment you understood why he was telling you all this. He hadn't hidden his rejections from you and it was something that the two of you would often joke about but you had never realised it was actually bothering him. Especially when everyone around him joked about them too.
"Fine, let's break up." It pained you to say this. Yes, the whole meeting and confession had been extremely sudden but it was love at first sight for you and all this time, you had believed that the same went for him as well.
So Shinichiro left and it wasn't until one week later when Mikey and Emma kept bugging him to see you that he finally realised what had happened. During this one week, he had kept himself so busy that he would return home and fall asleep on the couch without even removing his shoes. He rejected whatever calls he received from the guys but would constantly check his phone for messages from you; it was almost like a muscle memory.
"I am... slightly concerned that's all." Akashi leaned agaisnt the door of the Sano household.
"I'll talk to him."
Grandpa Sano rarely entered Shinichiro's messy room. "So where's your girlfriend?" He asked casually when Shin opened the door.
"It's ten pm on a Monday. I am guessing at her house?" He sighed and laid back down in bed.
"Why don't you tell her to come over for dinner tomorrow?" Grandpa Sano's questions stung like needles if not knives and even though Shinichiro wasn't aware of it, the old man knew far to well what he was doing.
"Can't."
"Good because you are such an idiot that you didn't deserve her," his grandpa's tone was sharp; it hurt more than it should have. "You are a joke of a man, breaking her heart and being angry at your best friend just because you made an assumption based on nothing." The old man sighed and turned around to leave. "Your mother didn't raise you like this, Shinichiro."
Shinichiro waited for his grandpa to leave before grabbing his helmet and his motorcycle keys and storming to the cemetery.
He told the whole story, sitting down with his hands on his knees as if he was being scolded and he didn't care that he was repeating the events of the first few days; he had found himself visiting the cemetery more often just to tell his mum all about you.
"...but I think it's a little too late, mum. I called her on the way here and she wouldn't pick it up."
I love the angst 🥹
Also, I have to say that Takeomi being so mature and responsible in this scene took me by surprise because when I requested this (yes, it was me, thank you so much for writing this and yes, my original request was OOC so thank you for changing it 🫶), I imagined him to be the worst among all of them 🥹
Thank you so much for writing this 🥺 May you have a great week ahead, Sofia ☺️
