The sudden feral insanity of needing to watch the Execution Division group dance sequence again from the Akudama Drive stage adaptation because what is this

[scotianostra]

On the lead up to midnight on Hogmanay, 1811 and into New Years day a riot occurred in Edinburgh, now knowns as the Tron Riot.

Edinburgh in the early 19th century was a time of heightened tension between the crowded Old Town and the wealthier New Town, founded in 1767. This architectural separation made the division of classes more pronounced. Conflicts, riots and social unrest were common in Scotland at the time.

The Old Town was home to many youth gangs, one of which was the Keely Gang (also known as the Niddly Gang The police were given more powers, which was particularly hostile to the poor. Petty crimes committed by gangs like the Kelly family were increasingly suppressed by the authorities.

It was a tradition for New Town residents to come to the Old Town to celebrate Hogmanay in the streets around Tron Church, a tradition that still existed until recently then at the time The Tron was the parish church, and the bells there brought in the New Year.

After midnight, crowds moved through the area, heading to a friend's house as part of a first-footing custom. According to later trial testimony, the Keeley Gang planned to take advantage of the wealthy crowds of the New town Hogmanay during the final weeks of 1811 while simultaneously attacking the police.

Instead of a gentle "first-footing" in the usual manner, the boots of the Keelie boys from the slums and tenements went into the groins of the better-off, their assaults were not simply down to high spirits getting out of hand. They had spent weeks drawing up a plan "to give the police a licking" and to rob the crowds.

On the night, they had prearranged signals to pick out their prey.

The retribution from the shocked Scottish citizenry came down like a hammer. A huge reward of 250 guineas (equivalent to around £200,000 today) flushed out the leaders, two of whom had fled to Glasgow with the booty. There was so much it filled two trunks.

Sixty-eight arrests were made, including boys as young as 12, none were over 20. After they were tried five were sentenced to transportation to Australia. Then, as an example, the leaders, Hugh Macdonald, 18, a shoemaker, Neil Sutherland, 18, an apprentice painter, and Hugh Mcintosh, 16, also a shoemaker, were condemned to hang. McIntosh's body was sent for anatomical dissection, while Sutherland and MacDonald were buried in unmarked graves in Greyfriars Kirkyard.

Their execution was watched by thousands of people, lining the streets and even the rooftops along the way to the gibbet.

Meanwhile, the authorities and right-thinking folk puzzled over what had gone so badly wrong with their young people. The authorities quickly took steps to reorganize and strengthen. police force. Later that year, the Edinburgh Police Act 1812 was introduced, greatly increasing the number of police officers patrolling the city.

The Fallen King

So Beast Atsushi's transition to Port Mafia Boss is not going to be without issue. Not everyone is exactly happy about him replacing Beast Dazai.

The guy was unfortunately a very competent and good boss. Beast Atsushi might've been his apprentice but most people see him as a henchmen with a fancy title.

It doesn't help that there's division between the executives.

Beast Chuuya has noticeably been absent since Beast Dazai's death. He wasn't even at Beast Atsushi's banquet where he made his first public appearance as the new Boss.

When everyone else was there and attendance was mandatory.

So you can imagine that rumours spiraled. Doesn't help that the nature of Beast Dazai and Beast Chuuya's relationship was the worst kept secret in the entire Port Mafia.

And well everyone thinks Beast Dazai killed his predecessor and his death was very suspicious.

So what you get is a very divided Port Mafia. Some will rally behind Beast Atsushi and others behind Beast Chuuya. Who they see as the rightful leader to the Port Mafia.

BTW Beast Chuuya isn't even trying to take over. Mans just mourning the love of his life. He lashed out at Beast Atsushi and is and trying to push everyone away in the process.

... Now imagine in the middle of all of this that a bounty comes to their attention.

And it's for the Boss's head.

Beast Atsushi unfortunately cannot catch a godamn break.

More Ogakiverse content

Swindler's backstory was definitely written by Swindler Georg and not Rokurou Ogaki, but Shikoku Arc was his brainfart... I mean brain baby.

Only person on Earth to ship those characters

I was able to draw what happened afterwards to the brother and sister, as well as the apprentice and junior member of the execution division, who have grown up a bit. I wanted these two to be a bit flirty, so I made them flirty!

I made a quick fanslation of a page about them a while back. I remember someone liking that post recently - otherwise I would have sincerely forgotten about it.

Clearly a bit of translator bias since I brought up not wanting to feel too cutesy with it .

He brought up Courier's sister which fills me with anger

The Shikoku arc is the story of a new group of Akudama to meet: the ‘Senior Citizen’ (一般人先輩), the ‘Courier's Sister’ (運び屋妹) and the ‘Brawler's Grandfather’ (喧嘩屋祖父), who are closely related to the Akudama the brother and sister travelled with, as if they were waiting for the kids with the 500 Yen of destiny. And another one is the 253-year-old grandmother ‘Scientist’ (科学者), who is an Akudama from Kansai.

Senior Citizen is way funnier than any other translation. That being said, note that she's actually named "The Ordinary Person's senpai". Sorry for spreading misinformation just because it was funny

I'm sorry I hate your fanfiction

I think that the manga version's Shikoku arc will be enjoyable for anyone who has watched the anime to the final episode, so if you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend it! Akudama Drive is great!

It's really Courier having a sister for me. I don't fully know why but I hate it. It feels like such a weak narrative.

2024 / 36 - Abridged vacation edition

Aperçu of the week

“Human dignity is inviolable.”

(Article 1 of the Basic Law, Constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany)

Bad News of the Week

It is well known that life in Afghanistan is not exactly a paradise. The Taliban rule with an absolute power that interferes so deeply in people's everyday lives that it can safely be described as invasive. Now a new law of the guardians of morality is coming into force, which - of course - further restricts the lives of women.

Men are not allowed to wear shorts or to practice martial arts. And must grow a beard if working in public service. But that is nothing compared to the restrictions for women. They are only allowed to attend school up to the 6th grade, are virtually excluded from working life, must always be fully veiled and are not even allowed to leave the house without a male escort. Now even singing or speaking out loud is forbidden - with the threat of a prison sentence. Why? Because the female voice is seductive and men should not be tempted.

Ravina Shamdasani from the UN Human Rights Office in Geneva puts her horror at this development into words: “The newly passed law cements a policy that completely erases women in public life, silences them and takes away their independence by trying to turn them into faceless, mute shadows. That is intolerable!”

The fact that the German government wants to negotiate with the Taliban right now about the repatriation of rejected asylum seekers is at least as intolerable. This is, of course, a reaction to the completely exaggerated cries of the extreme parties that the allegedly excessive migration is the root of all evil. And, in my opinion, it calls into question the principle of asylum. Because the definition of “imminent threat to life” should also include the absence of fundamental human rights: a life that is not worth living is just an existence.

Good News of the Week

German democracy is celebrating its 75th anniversary. After the darkest chapter in its history, the Germans have created the foundations of a liberal, egalitarian society with a democratic basic order. With a classic division of powers in the legislative, executive and judicial branches, unshakeable principles of human rights, freedom and social participation as well as balanced federalism.

The Bundestag (parliament) and Bundesrat (representation of the federal states) are therefore celebrating their birthday. They look back on the past with satisfaction, but express concerns about the future. Liberal democracy is under pressure from authoritarian forces worldwide, says former Federal Minister of the Interior Gerhart Baum in a speech. At 91, he is also a contemporary witness and knows what he is talking about. Bundestag President Bärbel Bas commented: “We can overcome crises - despite tough controversies. Our democracy is strong and resilient against all those who want to harm it." If she is right, Germany can look to the future with confidence.

Personal happy moment of the week

My own children finally got to meet my sisters' children (from my youthful stay abroad in Canada 37 years ago). And it was as if they had known each other forever. I would be very happy if that would last - even across the Atlantic and across time.

I couldn't care less...

...that the US Republican campaign team feels disadvantaged that the film “The Apprentice” about the dubious rise of Donald Trump is now being released in US cinemas before the elections. The guy is already getting away with his delaying tactics in so many (even court!) proceedings that I'm pleased about every confrontation that actually takes place. And that confronts him with his infinite body of lies.

It's fine with me...

...that an international comparative study has now also confirmed the positive effect of a cell phone ban in schools. Researchers at the Chair of School Education at the University of Augsburg came to this conclusion and published their findings in the journal Education Sciences: a smartphone ban has measurably positive effects on the social well-being of pupils and on their learning performance. Our school has been doing this since the first iPhone. And is obviously right to do so.

As I write this...

...the - voted out - democrats in the eastern German states are trying to form majorities without the radical right-wing AfD (Alternative für Deutschland / Alternative for Germany). This party owes it above all to the very young and the very old voters to have become the second strongest (in Saxony) or even the strongest (in Thuringia) party in the state elections. Sometimes democracy has to act against the declared will of the voters in order to protect itself.

Post Scriptum

The summer of 2024 was warmer than ever before since complete records began in 1940. According to the EU climate service Copernicus, the current year as a whole is also heading for a record high. In the past, people would have been happy about “the nice weather”. Today, people are afraid of the next forest fire and water sources drying up. And we are still not prepared to do what is necessary.

Backstory: Born to an upper class family, Evan was the only child of a politician and a corporate executive. He was raised with the expectation of following in his parents' footsteps, but had no desire for business, the military or politics. To keep Evan out of trouble and maintain a facade of public service, his father got him a job in a small and obscure division of the Department of Homeland Security.

The Division of Hellish and Occult Research and Containment Services (DHORCS) was originally created during the so-called "Satanic Panic" of the 1980s, tasked with investigating reports of cult activity and the sighting of demons. Once the panic had subsided, the division had its funding withdrawn repeatedly and became mostly inactive---until recent accusations of Satanism were made publicly and federal investigators suspected increased cult activity. As a result of DHORCS providing verifiable proof of demons after IMP's attack on their headquarters, the division has received a massive boost in its budget.

Before IMP destroyed DHORCS HQ, Evan was merely an archivist and worked safely in an office. But after the division's agents were slaughtered wholesale by IMP, Evan would be promoted and become Agent "Eleven". With Eleven's help, the division would gain a better understanding of demons and magic and begin preparations for an invasion into Hell itself.

Episode I: The Phantom Menace Review

Until 2017 with the Release of Episode VIII: The Last Jedi, Episode I: The Phantom Menace was seen as the most controversial and divisive Star Wars film ever released, far eclipsing the backlash against the supposed “kiddification” that occurred in Episode VI. I was eight years old when Episode I premiered in theaters and while I loved it at the time, it was, for a time, my least favorite of the film series. While I have never had anywhere near the amount of negative feelings towards this movie that other people have, I cannot deny that it remains my least favorite of the Lucas-era films.

The film opens by informing us that the Trade Federation has blockaded the planet of Naboo in protest of a new tax levied against them. The Supreme Chancellor, seeking a swift end to the situation, has dispatched two Jedi Knights, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, to negotiate a settlement. Unfortunately, just as the Jedi arrive, the Trade Federation’s shadowy benefactor, Darth Sidious, orders their immediate execution to prevent their interference, though the pair manage to survive and make their way to the surface of Naboo alongside a droid army invasion force. They meet a member of the native Gungan species, Jar-Jar Binks, who takes them to his underwater home where the Jedi procure transportation to the human Naboo city.

The droid army reaches the capital firsts and imprisons the planet’s ruler, the young Queen Amidala, though the Jedi manage to quickly free her and some of her entourage and steal a ship in order to escape the planet so the Queen can plead her case before the Senate on Coruscant in person. During the escape, their ship is damaged, and they are forced to land on the more nearby world of Tattooine. Darth Sidious dispatches his Sith apprentice Darth Maul to find the Queen in order to get her to legitimize the invasion of her world.

Unable to barter with the locals due to a lack of funds, Qui-Gon, Padme, Jar-Jar and the droid R2-D2 are taken in by a young slave boy named Anakin Skywalker. Hearing their plight, Anakin offers to race for them in a local event in order to get them the prize money for their parts. While his mother is understandably reluctant about allowing her son to put himself in harm’s way, she concedes, and Anakin works on fixing up his racer for the big day. During this time, Qui-Gon comes to suspect that Anakin is strong in the Force, something confirmed when Obi-Wan performs a blood test and his mother confides in the Jedi Master that Anakin has no father.

On the day of the race, Anakin suffers setbacks and sabotage but manages to emerge victorious; even better, he discovers that thanks to a side bet Qui-Gon made with the boy’s owner, Anakin is no longer a slave and Qui-Gon is willing to take him with him to train as a Jedi. Unfortunately, Anakin’s mother is still enslaved and even were she free, she would be unable to come with them to Coruscant and while heartbroken, Anakin agrees to leave her. Just as they are preparing to depart, Darth Maul attacks them, though Qui-Gon manages to hold him off long enough for the ship to take off.

Upon arriving on Coruscant, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan report their findings to the Jedi Council: that the Queen is being pursued by what is likely a Sith Lord and that Anakin is a vergence in the Force, and possibly the one prophesied to bring balance to the Force. While they are skeptical about the Sith’s identity, they outright refuse to allow Anakin to be trained, believing him to be to old and filled with too much fear and attachment. Meanwhile in the Senate, the representative for Naboo, Senator Palpatine, convinces the Queen to introduce a vote of no confidence in the sitting chancellor, which she reluctantly does after seeing him acquiesce to bureaucratic procedure. Palpatine is one of the nominees to become the next Chancellor, but Amidala has run out of patience and decides to return to Naboo to lead the liberation of her people herself. The Jedi order Jinn and Kenobi to continue to protect the Queen and Qui-Gon brings Anakin along as an unofficial apprentice.

Once they reach Naboo, Jar-Jar leads the others to a Gungan hiding place where the Queen begs the amphibious people to aid her in freeing their planet from the droid occupation. The Gungans agree and a plan is put together: a Gungan army will draw out the bulk of the droid forces and keep them occupied while the Queen and a small strike-force break into the palace to capture the Federation leadership and force their surrender; they will also launch what fighters they can to attack the droid control ship in orbit to shut down the droid forces across the planet one way or another. At first, the plan goes off successfully, with the droids taking the bait while a handful of fighters are able to take off; the plan runs into a snag when Darth Maul confronts the Queen’s forces, causing the two Jedi to hang back and try and hold off the Sith Lord.

As Jar-Jar leads Gungans against the droids and Anakin is stuck in a starfighter bound for the battle in space, the Queen and her entourage are captured by the droids while Jinn and Kenobi battle Maul throughout the heart of the palace. Tragedy strikes when the Sith manages to strike down Qui-Gon Jinn though the Jedi Master is swiftly avenged by his padawan who manages to defeat and seemingly slay Maul; Anakin destroys the droid control ship which saves the remaining Gungan army while Amidala turns the tables and captures the Trade Federation leaders. A victorious Chancellor Palpatine arrives while the Federation leaders are taken into custody and the Council grants permission for Obi-Wan to train Anakin. Despite the losses sustained, the Naboo, Gungans and Jedi celebrate their shared victory and the beginning of a new era of peace.

Let’s get one thing out of the way now: I do not hate this movie; I do not hate the Jake Loyd or Ahmed Best, and the people who attacked them for literal years are all sub-human slime who aren’t worth the air they are sucking down. I was eight years old when this movie came out – the optimum age to see it. As a kid, I loved it wholeheartedly, but as I’ve gotten older it gradually began to diminish when compared to its sequels. And unlike a lot of people who deride the so-called “focus” on boring politics, my real problem is actually with the middle of the film; once they get to Tatooine, the movie slows to a crawl for me; the Podrace scene was cool and exciting when I was a kid but now, I’m just indifferent toward it. Not helped is the contrived reason they are there in the first place. I know it’s been hammered into the ground by this point, but the idea that there was absolutely no one in Mos Eisely who would take Republic credits (proprietor or smuggler) is just ridiculous. I don’t have a problem with Anakin being an innocent little boy or that he constructed C-3PO, it’s all the stuff around it that I find tiresome when revising Episode I; I much prefer the stuff that happens before and after that. I’m also indifferent towards Jar-Jar; I don’t have nearly the number of negative feelings that other people do, and I feel that the same thing could have been accomplished without him tagging along the whole time, but honestly he’s not nearly as annoying or intrusive as others would have first time viewers believe.

In terms of novelization, the book sticks pretty close to the source material, with the major difference being the inclusion of Anakin chapters before the rest of the characters encounter him on Tatooine; we get to see the end of his last Podrace that demolished Watto’s pod, meeting with a former Republic pilot and reaffirming his dream of escaping to the stars as a pilot himself someday; and an encounter with a Sand Person that includes Anakin having a nightmare about losing his mother that really makes me wonder just how much of Anakin’s story was decided before the Prequals even began filming. It’s also here that we get the history of the Sith that would lay the foundation for the story of the Sith that would slowly be filled over the next decade or so with works like the Darth Bane Trilogy and the Darth Plaguies novel, some of the greatest works of Star Wars outside of the films. It doesn’t do nearly as much as the Episode III novelization does to add to its own film (and don’t worry, we’ll get to that one), but the little extra bits we do get with Anakin are a nice addition and the perfect thing to expand upon in a novelization.

While Episode I lays the foundation for Star Wars going into the next millennium, it is also merely one part in the larger story that we’ve seen so far. By the end of the film, the Sith have infiltrated the highest echelons of the Republic’s power structure after a millennia of hiding and scheming; now, the new Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Sidious (after assassinating his own Master as seen in Darth Plaguies) is ready to deliver a killing blow to both the Jedi and the Republic that neither will see coming. The flip side of that is the introduction of the Prophecy of the Chosen One; its believed that the Force created Anakin as response to the experimentation done on midichlorians by the Sith as means of eliminating the dark side cult and bringing about balance to the cosmos; this also applies to the Jedi of this era, who are depicted as being dogmatic and so shackled to following Republic policy that they allow slavery to flourish outside their borders. What this cosmic reshuffling means will only be revealed in the future.

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace is my least favorite film in the six-part Lucas Saga; while the story drags for me in the middle, the rest of the story is both compelling and entertaining and the novelization of the film is not only serviceable but adds some extra depth for Anakin that the film was unable to depict. For me, the story only goes up from here, but before we can move on to Episode II, we have a few other stories to go over in between so join me next time as we continue through the Star Wars Legends continuity with the novel set a few years into the partnership between Obi-Wan and Anakin in Star Wars: Rogue Planet.

Connections to the GFFA

As previously pointed out, Anakin’s nightmare about his mother while around the Sand People may be foreshadowing for Episode II.

In an odd bit of continuity errors, Palpatine says the Sith have been gone for two thousand years instead of one, and that Qui-Gon’s Master lived to be about four hundred years old; the first is contradicted by this very story while the second would be revealed to be false in Episode II

Final Score: 7/10
