Yosen's animal forms in my shapeshifter au!

Kaijo | Shutoku | Touou | Tumblr Tag

Another school with a distinct theme; animals from cold-weather climates! Yosen's in Akita in the north of Japan, and official art loves to put Yosen in winter settings, so it felt fitting. In my fanfic, only Mura and Himuro get animal form reveals, but I always imagined they're a team with another full roster of (intimidating) shifters.

Explanations on choices below cut;

Murasakibara: Mura gives bear with his sleepy-but-i-can-still-kill-you vibe, so making him the largest species of bear seemed only fitting! Just look at pics of polar bears lounging around vs pics of them in fight mode; that's Mura's energy to a T.

Himuro: I had Kagami's animal form as a big cat, so it felt fitting to make Himuro's a wild dog (despite his given name referencing a dragon); I wanted Himuro and Kagami as opposites, two sides of the same coin. Grey wolves I think very much give off Himuro's vibe. Regal and dangerous.

Okamura: canon likes to compare him to a gorilla and unfortunately I am not above interpreting canon literally.

Liu: I needed a tall bird, and since Liu is Chinese, making him a great blue heron felt like a cheeky but fun move. i think it gives off his vibes, with their serious gaze and slender figure.

Fukui: our smol little boy. Once I landed on a cold theme, I KNEW I needed to do one of the most iconic cold weather animals, the Japanese macaque, known for staying warm during the winter by soaking in Japan's natural hot springs. It helped that the color and size helped to remind me of Fukui.

i've attained a level of "canon divergence within canon divergence" . anyway under the read more is a mini script i wrote for this situation cuz they all nerds

Liu Wei: A-Xiang, what is thee doing here? Did Coach not task you with greeting the rest of Kaijo's team? Erika: I did that already. (turning to Himuro) Otome-senpai, here. Himuro: Hm? Erika: (hands him a stack of letters) Himuro: Ah, sorry for the trouble. Erika: (shrugs) Better than having them disturb practice. Himuro: I do feel bad about troubling you all the time with this. Erika: I mean, it's not like you haven't tried cleaning your locker out I assume. Moriyama: (pokes his head in) Locker? Liu Wei: (glances down) The locker of Himuro shall always be filled with the pinings of those who have fallen into the trap of love. Moriyama: !!! Himuro: (having a bad feeling of deja vu) Well, Erika-chan, maybe we should meet Coach-- Moriyama: Himuro-san! Hold on a minute! Himuro: ... yes? Moriyama: You never told me that you get love letters every day! Himuro: (sighs) Erika: (raises an eyebrow) You know him? Himuro: Know is a strong word. Liu Wei: (shaking head) Truly, it is an endeavor one must strive to achieve. That thee's lockers are this full to the point that A-Xiang shall be acting as a messenger. Moriyama: (gasp) Those girls are so dedicated that they'd sneak into into the boys' locker room?! Erika: (snorts in amusement) Himuro: Wha -- no, Yosen has school lockers, like the ones in America. Liu Wei: After all, we shall be pining for the intermingling of cultures, and a Western-style architecture and education in the coldest regions of Akita. Erika: He has two lockers, mind you. One like the ones in America, and the getabako. Both are always stuffed to the brim with letters. Himuro: (mutters) It's not always-- Moriyama: (turning to Liu Wei) Liu! Liu Wei: (appears to have a moment of understanding) Himuro: E-- Moriyama & Liu Wei: (surrounds Himuro) Himuro: ?! Moriyama: Please teach us how to receive letters like you do!! Himuro: Why-- Moriyama: It has to be you! Sensei!!! When we last talked about this, you had nothing but wisdom for me! Liu Wei: Yes. It shall be the sin of selfishness should thee declare this to be an act of secrecy. Himuro: I really don't-- MoriLiu: PLZ!!!! Himuro: (helplessly smiling) Erika-chan, whenever you're done laughing, I'd love some help on fending them off. Erika: Love, hm? Like a love letter? Himuro: Th-- Erika: Your request may take a few days seeing as I'm backlogged on delivering your love letters. MoriLiu: Himuro-sensei!!! Himuro: (a deep, long, soulful sigh) How am I supposed to give advice about something I don't even want...
