Happy Birthday Ouma Kokichi! (06 * 21)
I love you and you deserve all the happiness in the world!!
EDIT: I forgot to add this but I also scribbled an Ouma while I’m in Japan and made a lil Ouma shrine before eating all the food for him which you can see below!!
Thanks for being there with me throughout my art journey and I’ll always love you, you sneaky supreme leader haha
Kaede: “Give my Otoshidama(New Year’s Money) back, Ouma-kun!”
I decided to draw the “official” designs of the characters’ New Years outfits which you can find here! What a a productive art to start off the year lmao
This is the first time I actually colored a Kaede lmao and I hate how her kimono has so many details (yes I did it manually cuz I have no life and I can’t find stock images that are similar to the ones on her kimono)
Life lesson: never draw female characters in kimono because they are a pain in the ass to do
⇩There’s a bit of extra content under the cut!⇩
So while drawing the New Years art, I noticed that Saihara’s kimono is very similar to a certain outfit...
Let Anima be delusional ok
SO WHO IS SAIHARA GOING TO MARRY?! SAIHARA YOU’RE STILL A TEEN FOR GOD’S SAKE-//SLAPPED
But anyways, since I overreacted by too much and fangirled for no reason at all, I decided to draw Saihara and Ouma in the Japanese traditional wedding outfit!
☆This is merely my interpretation, so some points may seem OOC/inaccurate to you. You may give me suggestions and such, but please please do not bash on my headcanons. Headcanons are meant to be made for fun so please do not force me to make everything100% accurate, because I myself do not have the capability to think in another character’s shoes.
☆This takes place in an alternate universe, where there’s no killing game. (Specific universe still undecided, but possibly Omegaverse AU?)
Kokichi and Shuuichi are married and are fathers of these children: Ouma Kohaya, Ouma Seiji, Ouma Rokurou, Saihara Houshin, Ouma Katsumi.
☆Ages may be changed depending on changes in the universe.
☆Some of the headcanons described may contain spoilers for the game, so please proceed with caution.
Anima is back with some adult SaiOuma headcanons and designs! I’m planning to use this for my SaiOuma family, so I might have made some references of the kids here and there. But I personally think that these headcanons can still be used even without any knowledge of the lovechildrens.
If you’re interested in reading my ideas and headcanons, please proceed under the cut!
Ouma Kokichi(38 years old)
☆Unlike in the Killing Game Timeline/Main Universe, Kokichi has learnt how to be more trusting and has opened up a bit more about his own feelings towards people. He still maintains his childish streak, but more toned down.
★Kokichi did grew a few centimeters, so now he is 160cm. Despite that, all his children are still relatively taller than him. This makes him feel “inferior”, and will throw a “tantrum” (jokingly) when anyone points out that he’s shorter than his own children. Some people even go as far as mistaking him as the family’s youngest sibling.
☆Kokichi doesn’t’t have an official job, and he spends most of his time staying at home and hanging out with DICE. Of course, this doesn’t mean that he does literally nothing every day.
Kokichi helps the police force behind the scenes, mainly working alongside Shuuichi by helping him solve his cases through providing indirect “hints” whenever Shuuichi gets stuck to the point he has to pull all-nighters; he also makes coffee for Shuuichi.
Naturally, this means that he first would need to gather information about the cases Shuuichi is investigating on. These are usually never collected using “normal” ways, as Kokichi would often try to get himself into trouble with the police before using psychology to fish out the information he wants to get.
★Kokichi, left with the responsibility to take care of the children due to Shuuichi being the main provider of the household, spends most of his time playing with the kids. Being a prankster, while still being a child at heart, Kokichi is an expert when it comes to entertaining his children. He uses his expertise in white lies to tell his children his fantasies, often being phantom-thief related. (Kokichi’s tales are always different and interesting, so his children will never get bored at his stories.)
The downside of this is that, his constant joking towards his kids have led them to be unable to take Kokichi seriously most of the time.
However, when his children are crying, he does not know how to properly comfort them, as he is not used to expressing himself openly (He knows “what to say”, but he doesn’t like to hurt people and would rather sugarcoat his words with white lies). Of course, he knows what is going on with his children’s lives as he is good at reading people’s moves.
☆Kokichi often takes his children to play with DICE in their headquarters. This has resulted in his children to love pranks and jokes to some extent. He is also the one who started the routine of having tea breaks in the family, and the one who introduced the kids to video games.
★Kokichi sometimes likes to call Shuuichi “Shumai”, however he only uses that nickname to rile the latter up. If Shuuichi somehow reacts differently than he had expected, he’d make a run for it: something he has never been able to get over with since he started dating Shuuichi.
Whenever Shuuichi gets mad though, Kokichi may sometimes unconsciously call the former with his last name “Saihara” due to how shaken up he feels (although he hides it and instead just stares blankly).
☆Kokichi can’t cook, nor do chores right. However, he does have the ability to do basic cleaning at home, although he ends up slacking off in the end because of how “repetitive” and “boring” it is and instead play games – this have led to Shuuichi doing most of the chores for Kokichi even after working.
Shuuichi often scolds Kokichi for this, but since the former rarely snaps at someone, Kokichi continues to slack off as much as possible to this day. (Don’t scold him please; he’s trying his best to fix this habit of his)
★DICE is now a bigger “secret organization”, as all of the SaiOuma children are technically members of DICE; it is also now a “place” where orphans can come and hang out with the members vice versa (kind of like a daycare centre but it’s not). The “seniors” of the group, also known as Ouma and the other 10 members, have their adult versions of their outifits. Ouma is still the leader of the organization, but is planning to pass down his “crown” to one of his sons.
☆Kokichi has the tendency to use his last name for his children because he feels like “his” children should carry “the fabulous supreme leader”’s name.
Because of this, Kokichi and Shuuichi often get into non-serious-but-yet-serious arguments about their children’s surnames
Saihara Shuuichi (38 years old)
☆Shuuichi is 179 cm as an adult, and now working as a detective for the police force. Like in the Killing Game Timeline/Main Universe, Shuuichi still has the tendency to hesitate when it comes to revealing the truth. However, he now has much more confidence, maturity and pride as a detective, making him a bit more like Kirigiri Kyouko. (of course, he’s still growing) He now also have a better understanding on the concept of lies: a thing that he has developed through him trying to get to know Kokichi better when he was in high school.
Of course, this doesn’t change the fact that he is able to empathize with the culprit, and is able to deliver the truth gently to the world due to him knowing how painful the truth can be.
★Shuuichi tends to pull all-nighters solving cases, despite being a heavy sleeper. This has caused him to be in a bad mood when someone wakes him up early in the morning. Along with his “angry” mode, his bad mood is something that his children and Kokichi fears: this is only strengthened by the fact that Shuuichi is usually forgiving and patient towards his children.
☆Shuuichi, despite growing up without his parents’ affection, is one of the best fathers one could ask for. Being a “safe dad”, he gets overprotective towards his children, and would prevent his children from being exposed to “dangerous” and “negative” things. He always makes sure that all his kids are doing well, and often pamper them since he wanted them to receive enough “love” which he did not get to experience as a kid – this trait has rubbed off to the eldest child of the family, Ouma Kohaya.
Although he can be quite restrictive, Shuuichi is a very supportive dad and does not push their children to do things that he thinks would be the best for them.
★Shuuichi is probably the dad who most of his children would turn to for advice. Being someone that has suffered anxiety and depression throughout his life, he is able to relate to most of his children’s’ life problems and offer some insight. In instances where he isn’t able to offer advice, he’d do his best to comfort his children.
When it comes to having fun though, they would go to Kokichi.
☆Shuuichi can’t cook, however due to the fact that someone has to cook for the family, he has learnt to cook really simple dishes. Otherwise, his family usually goes out to eat. (Some of the DICE members gives the family some of their cooking once in a while)
Being the one who does most of the chores in the house even after working until late at night, Shuuichi isn’t able to really interact with his children most of the time. When he does have time, he’d do his best to spend his time with his kids.
★Despite being an adult, Shuuichi still retains the same amount of love for novels, especially ones with mystery as their genre. Up to this day, novels take up most of his daily spendings.
He has a room just to store his collection of books(making it like a mini library in the house) and has tried to get all of his children to like reading. This is the only time where Shuuichi will sound overly enthusiastic/obsessed(Pre-game Saihara level kind of obsessed) when talking with his children.
Some of his books have spoilers of the culprit in the first page. Those books in question were “victims” to Kokichi’s pranks, and thus the said page may be taped onto the cover, etc.
