Post-P5S Hasegawa family headcanons
- Obviously it doesn't fix everything right away
- But it helps
- People notice almost immediately that something about Zenkichi has changed
- He smiles more, and those smiles are more genuine
- Akane gives him a few small things
- They're two of his most precious belongings
- One's a mug that says "World's okayest dad"
- Zenkichi brings it to work like 'my daughter bought me a thing :D'
- The second thing is a homemade Valjean plush
- It's because Wolf reminds her of him
- He starts crying bc he's so touched
- She thinks she did something wrong, he has to explain to her that she did Nothing Wrong
- He's a little self-conscious abt it, but he brings it (pretty much) everywhere w/ him
- Akane invites Zenkichi onto her stream (not showing his face ofc) to talk abt how the Thieves helped them
- He's actually surprisingly popular w/ the viewers
- Sometimes they go to Leblanc for curry and coffee (no coffee for Akane tho)
- Sojiro has been convinced to actually give Zenkichi curry
- Zenjiro happens
- Futaba and Akane are basically besties
- During winter break in the Shujin Trio's 3rd year, they adopt Ren
- Akane and Zenkichi always manage to find time for their own family bonding still
I'm rewatching Kodomo no Omocha, and the character Zenjiro looks a lot like Iyami! I keep thinking of you every time I see him pop up in the show.
Pbbbbt it’s always a pleasure to be associated with Iyami! Also, I know this guy! I mean, I’ve never seen this show, but I know *of* him! He’s pretty Iyami-ish, alright!
Actually, when I first learned of his existence, I was like “oh he’s is an expy of Iyami, there’s NO WAY he isn’t” and like, there ARE a considerable amount of Iyami expies on older anime since he’s such a well-recognized manga character but it turns out... Zenjiro is supposed to be a caricature of his voice actor, a stand-up comedian from the 80s/90s of the same name! He was known for his prominent teeth as well (though he seems to have had some dental work done in more recent days) so apparently... not an Iyami expy at all!
Even though it’s hard to believe anime!Zenjiro doesn’t have even just a little bit of Iyami in him, I mean... just look at him.
Headache | Chapter 1 (Reaction & Open)
A school for the damned, shards, murder, doors, visions, silhouettes... this was all very overwhelming. By the end of it, Zenjiro could do nothing but stay there and hold his head. As the minutes pass, he simply stays in the same spot still holding his head.
After what seems to be quite a long time to still be standing there given everything that just happened, Zenjiro finally nods his head slowly and moves his hand into his pocket. He looks around to see who else is still in the area. The first person he spots, he gives a nod to.
"Let me make sure I'm hearing this right. So we have to kill to get these key shards and then once we open up everything we can go? Is this a place inside our mind? They said something about our physical bodies or something, right?"
Gonna draw the whole main cast of Itzamna’s gate over the course of this remaioning month, Zenjiro’s turn this time.
Hes kindof chilling, like Coatzin, excet, with 100% less drugs. at his crew’s home base at the Byuozan desert, where the sandworm and the slightly bigger sandwrom with claws for teeth play.
Cry-fi || Shuga-chann || Prologue || Closed for Takashi
After a nice, refreshing nap, Chinatsu got up and decided to explore the grounds. Or, at least, that was her intent until she remembered there was no wifi and all of her painstakingly earned number 1 spots were going to fade farther and farther out of reach the longer she stayed on this island. Simply put, she was a despondent little bean.
So naturally, she found herself lingering in the game room in the school. Good going, Chinatsu, couldn't even make it out of the school in your searches.
That place was the most familiar environment at the moment, sort of gave her a sense of familiarity in this trying time without wifi.
She collapsed into one of the seats, knees pulled up to her chest, and pulled out an old game system. With just a few button presses, the machine began to play some out of date idol pop. Chinatsu just pressed away at the buttons in time, not even noticing there could be anyone else present in the room..
Dream Quality | Chapter 1 (Sora)
After the events that explained the purpose of them being here--at least a solid attempt at an explanation--Zenjiro found himself slowly retreating back to his room. However, he lets out the loudest and most disappointed groan he could when he finds out he went up the stairs farthest from his room once again. Bummer.
Along the way, he stops by the balcony where he had spent time talking to Lynn. Stepping outside, he can't help but smile at the breeze. The one thing he wishes his bedroom could have-- a breeze that blows ever so slightly across his skin.
This time around, he takes notice of the door. Was it there last time? More than likely but he didn't feel like paying it any mind. He tries to open the door and--
--a neighborhood?! This just means more exploring... Ugh.
Time passes as he wanders around aimlessly. There were plenty of things that took his interest (beds, couches, comfy stuff like this), but the last place he ended up with in the backyard of 'House K'.
The locksmith sits below the maple tree. From a distance, it was such a beautiful sight. Beautiful locations make beautiful dreams. Zenjiro stretches his arms out and yawns before crossing his arms over his chest. He lets his head tilt to one side just a bit as he tries to silence everything.
Stay Cozy | Chapter 1 (Taguchi)
One of the pros about the infirmary is that it's not on the second floor. Another one of it's nicer features is the cots. The cots aren't that bad. In fact, Zenjiro's been laying on one for half an hour now. He hasn't been doing anything but trying to sleep. Unfortunately for him, sleep never came to him.
"Damn it...."
Were all infirmaries cold? Maybe it's just him, but this room's a little too cold for him. He looks to the door and considers getting up, but he's too comfortable. He'll just wait for someone to open the door and-- oh! He's in luck!
"You there," he starts with a smile. "Do you think you can find me a blanket?"
