Old-School Noodle Goodness: Kanda Yabu Soba

While in Japan last winter, I decided to check out one of the oldest soba shops in Tokyo, Kanda Yabu Soba. The restaurant dates all the way back to 1880, during the Edo period, and comes from a time when soba got famous as a fast food for busy people. To my surprise, my group managed to get in. While the wait was somewhat long—around 30 minutes—it was nowhere near as bad as I was expecting for a…

DGM Fanevent Nov 05. Translations & Updates

Provided from 椿/Tsubaki (@Paruuu75) on Twitter) / (@ponkotsubluuues on Tumblr).

Lavi appearing next year or in two years, but "maybe not in the form that everyone wished for."

Cross Marian is not Cross' real name.

In DGM, broken things don't go back to normal, so Tim won't come back.

When Kanda said "I thank you, Allen Walker", it was 80% his old self speaking, and not Kanda.

Road has good grades at school because she has lived for a long time.

Jasdevi don't wear underwears.

Even during the hiatus, the editors never thought about discontinuing DGM.

Kanda started to eat soba because of Alma.

The bodies used for the Second exorcist project are abandoned male babies.

Allen had a bad mouth when he was a child because of his education/environment. Kanda has a bad mouth because of his personality.

Allen's type of girls are the ones who can cook + who can make him feel at home, family atmosphere.

Cross uses his own shampoo he made himself.

Cross will appear in the story, but probably after Lavi.

Kanda hates the CROWS so he won't eat what Link would cook.

Road knew from the moment she met Allen he was the host.

Kanda won't probably call Allen by his name (like in the Alma arc).

Hoshino Sensei think we are around half of the story, when asked by a fan how many volumes DGM will have, ahe answered "maybe around 50?"

Strange house - DGM doujin fangame scenario C

I finally reached the next route in Strange house, a doujin LaviYuu d.gray-man fangame made by MOONLIGHT CAFE released in Japanese in 2010. I'm actually playing these out of order accidentally - this is only my 2nd route I've played, but in the guidebook it's listed as scenario C, which can be translated as "Love Affair Trap: A Suspicious Bracelet"

scenario a - Dolly

to briefly summarize Strange house, you play as Lavi while he, Kanda, and Toma are out on a mission. while returning back to the Order, you have the option of making various choices to either take detours, explore new missions, and more. depending on the first 2 choices you make determines which scenario (or "route") you go down, with each focused on Lavi x Kanda.

to get scenario C, you have to choose to hurry back to town after finishing the mission and then contact the Order to see if there's any missions you can do while you're still out. the Order explains a rumor nearby your location of a man who's immortal. so, the three of them (Lavi, Kanda, and Toma) all head to the mansion.

once they get there, the supposedly elderly man who greets them... is a young man! he fully acknowledges and admits to being seemingly immortal, claiming he's lived 80 years so far.

the man, named Hewlett (side note: I had no damn clue what his name was supposed to be and had to get TL help), claims that the secret to his longevity is the bracelet around his arm. clearly, it's innocence. Lavi and Kanda immediately want to know more and want to figure out how to get the bracelet from him.

but, before that, Hewlett has... a bit of a moment when he sees Kanda. he's taken away by his beauty, but doesn't say much at the moment. the 4 of them step away into a sitting room to continue their discussion.

there, the man explains that he can't simply give the bracelet away as he can't take off the bracelet. no matter what, the bracelet will not leave his arm, even after the boys try removing it with his permission. but, there is one more possibility.

the bracelet is a family heirloom and according to a journal his ancestors made, the only way to remove the bracelet is by two people sharing vows to love one another and both putting on a pair of bracelets (Hewlett's is just one in a pair). Lavi and Kanda both have a bad feeling about this, and for good reason.

Hewlett asks Kanda to marry him.

both immediately object, but Hewlett assures them it's the only way. he goes on to say it can just be a formality and not a binding agreement, but that they would have to have a "wedding" regardless.

Lavi has the option to object or to tell Kanda to go through with it. if Lavi objects, Kanda objects with him, but Hewlett talks them both down and the boys walk off to talk things over. if Lavi accepts for Kanda, Kanda gets angry and the boys walk off to talk things over. either way, Lavi realizes the quickest (and non-lethal) way out of this is for Kanda to go along with Hewlett's plan.

as the two walk away, Kanda expresses his anger and just wants to go back to the Order and eat soba. truly, the power of soba...

Lavi knows he needs to convince Kanda to actually go through with it, so you have the choice of him starting to cry and beg him (he doesn't want Kanda to get married off!) or trying to go the rational route.

Kanda, after some coaxing, agrees.

the two go back and tell Hewlett that they agree to his terms. despite it being a "fake" wedding, Hewlett is overly eager to marry Kanda, regardless of his gender.

Hewlett gives them guests rooms in his mansion for them to stay at, with the wedding planned for the next day. however, Lavi can't go to sleep (and he certainly can't stay still) so he decides to explore the manor.

Lavi has the choice to go see Kanda or explore the manor on his own. for some reason, you have to be kind of cold to Kanda in this scenario to get the true ending - rather than go see him and provide comfort, you leave him on his own and go explore on your own.

however, if you do go see Kanda, you get a side scene of the two bonding as well as exploring the manor together. in one of Hewlett's studies, they find a picture of a woman who looks oddly just like Kanda. they realize it was an unrequited love and this is Hewlett's way of getting closure on a lost love.

...but, if Lavi explores the manor alone, you get a much, much different outlook on Hewlett.

Lavi ends up in a dark room, only to realize he's surrounded. not by humans, but mannequins. unless...?

I was already kind of eh about the premise, but this is where the scenario really started to lose me. in the room is a whole slew of "mannequins", humans that are dead but have become a dummy-like state, and all of them somewhat resemble Kanda. and for some reason they're all arranged in here like they're in a ballroom.

with some digging, Lavi manages to find a journal documenting the bracelet. it verifies that the bracelet can only be taken off when a pair of partners both wear the bracelets, but it also goes on to say it's a curse and can inflict harm on the other person if the true's love vow, well, isn't true.

so, Hewlett is a "serial killer", as described by Lavi. I mean, I guess? I'm still unsure what the point of the "mannequin" room is, but let's continue. there's a bad end here if you stay too long and keep reading where Hewlett sneaks up on Lavi, knocks him out, and sets him aside to kill later but Kanda realizes something is wrong the next day and saves Lavi, running off to the Order and Hewlett going missing. all of this is told to us afterwards.

however, if you do read up but not stay too long, Lavi is resolved to put a stop to this in the morning. he goes to bed.

the next morning is the wedding. fake or not, Kanda is given a wedding dress to wear for it.

and for mugen too. sure.

Kanda obviously isn't too happy to be in a dress and just wants the thing over with.

depending on prior choices, Hewlett's fate is sealed at this wedding.

if you explored the mansion with Kanda the prior night and found out about his unrequited love (but not him being a serial killer), then Kanda puts on the bracelet without much of a fuss (as neither know about the bracelet's curse). as soon as he puts on the bracelet, the bracelet comes off of Hewlett's wrist. all of a sudden, the innocence's effects fade away and Hewlett reverts to his elderly self, writhing in pain. Lavi and Kanda can only stand there and watch in horror.

Hewlett dies from the transformation, leaving Lavi and Kanda in a state of shock. they leave the mansion not long after in a bad end where Kanda still has the bracelet and Lavi is too shaken up to try putting it on himself.

the only way to get the true ending is to explore the mansion alone. when it comes time for the ceremony to actually take place, Lavi yells out that Kanda might die if he wears the bracelet, explaining what he read the prior night. Kanda immediately backs off, kicking back at Hewlett to try and protect himself.

however, Hewlett manages to get the bracelet on Kanda. in a similar scene as before, Hewlett's own bracelet falls off and he begins to age rapidly. Lavi understands more of what's happening this time, and even though he knows Hewlett is a murderer, he still doesn't want him to die such a horrible death.

if Lavi doesn't urge Kanda to go through with the wedding and doesn't cry & beg (both earlier choices), then Hewlett dies similar as before. Kanda digs a shallow grave for him in the back of the house but doesn't permit Lavi to try on the bracelet. the three (remember Toma?) head back to the Order, hoping Hevlaska can help take the bracelet off of Kanda.

on the true ending, Lavi jumps to action and pushes the bracelet back onto Hewlett which...somehow stops him from dying from the rapid aging and leaving him as an old man. but also the bracelet comes off?

so now Hewlett is alive (but unconscious) and Kanda still has the bracelet on. however, Kanda is still in a wedding dress and Lavi isn't going to let that go to waste. Kanda thinks similarly, asking Toma to go get ready to leave. Lavi picks up the bracelet, puts it on himself, and kisses Kanda. both bracelets fall to the ground.

the two contact the police and give Hewlett over to them, leaving the manor with the bracelets in tow. and that's the end of scenario c!

this scenario was shorter than scenario a, dolly, and definitely felt all over the place. scenario a had a much clearer premise and plot beats, feeling more like a filler episode from the anime. scenario c (this one) feels like they wanted to put Kanda in a dress and tried to construct a plot around that.

the rules around the bracelet felt convoluted (why did it save the guy at the end of the true route? why did it turn all of the other victims into essentially mannequins?) and the "villain" felt slapped together (why was he a serial killer??? they try to explain it as he's still not over his unrequited love, but why keep the corpses of the victims?) with no real conclusion or backstory given. it wasn't terrible, but certainly didn't feel as well put together as the first scenario.

there's still 2 more scenarios in this game that I'll be playing through and documenting here.

scenario A - Dolly

Omg do you have any other Kanda/Daisya headcanons?? They’re such a Pandora’s box to me 😭 I didn’t even think about them until I saw ppl on here talking about it and now it’s too late!!! I’m just thinking about them all the time ���💙

oh hello there anon!

this ship is… a fascinating child to me. A half-crack fic idea came to me at work a few weeks ago, thinking about how Daisya’s character design almost looks like an early concept of Alma*, and it just spiraled. Fic pending (also it’s more yulma angst than kandai, but i’m trying—their relationship is actually the hardest thing for me to write)

*i know that, conceptually speaking, Daisya existed before Alma, but yk what I mean

also, as an aro/ace with no relationship experience, I’m not really a fluff writer to begin with; but I also project hc Kanda as aro/ace, so none of these are gonna be too romantic oops. They were fun to think up though!

— They never labeled themselves as being “in a relationship” but they were “exclusive”, if that makes sense

— Daisya would always tell Kanda how they should go to Bodrum on holiday. Kanda can’t imagine ever getting a break, and would therefore be dismissive of the suggestion; but he secretly was really looking forward to it.

— Daisya also promised to teach Kanda how to swim when they went

— When out on missions with Daisya, Kanda always tries to steal and hide Charity Bell (when they’re not fighting, duh) otherwise Daisya will bother him with it

— Daisya was always Kanda’s favourite sparring partner because he uses a long-range weapon (Lenalee is close range and Marie would always go easy on him) and was thus (in Kanda’s opinion) the most suitable opponent to practice fighting akuma

— Daisya is physically pretty weak, and Kanda would make fun of him for it; but Kanda would also always drag him to hand-to-hand training to help him not rely so much on his innocence

— Kanda beat Daisya at Backgammon ONCE and wouldn’t shut up about it for weeks. (Daisya beat him hundreds of times…and may or may not have let Kanda win that one time) this is not me projecting the fact that I have tried to learn how to play this game multiple times and honestly understand the rules less and less each time

— Daisya once tried to sneak some seasoning into Kanda’s soba… Daisya wound up in the infirmary for three days (Kanda felt a little bad)

— Even though Kanda hates sweets, Daisya tricked him into trying Baklava during a job in Greece once, and Kanda actually enjoyed it

— They once tried making some together�� Jerry banned them from the kitchen

— Kanda was Daisya's first kiss; Kanda considers it his first kiss too

(I know it's played as a joke, and the light novels are more canon-adjacent than expressly canon, but I think we need to acknowledge the questionable implications of a 40(?) year old kissing a 1(3) year old -- even if he was inebriated)

@0rainy0muses0 asked: { Allen for Kanda, it's birthday time! } Allen had been missing from his room in the morning, no where to be found engaging in his usual routine where Kanda might have found him. In fact, no one seems to know where he is ─ perhaps sent off on a last minute mission? That would suck, considering the date… However, when Kanda orders his usual breakfast of soba and tea, instead of Jerry calling out his name once ready, Allen appears. He's smiling, carrying a tray of said usual soba and a pot of high quality, earthy, bitter matcha instead of the usual green tea blend. "Happy Birthday, Yu." He doesn't go out of his way to make a scene or announce it; just sets the tray down and sits across from his boyfriend ─ still smiling. "I hope you like it…I've never made soba before. Well, Jerry did help me and we've been up since early so I could get it just right. I also bought the matcha, there's a whole tin of it just for you in the kitchen now."

It had been a bit disappointing, not finding Allen in his usual spots. And the few he asked offered no help. Lenalee seemed rather genuine in having no idea where the Exorcist was, and even the cuddly Akuma twins were tight lipped, and strangely unwilling to track down their ‘best cousin’.

Though, Kanda didn’t think too much about the strangeness. Chalking it up to another oddity of the day.

While Kanda didn’t place much value in his birthday, he had wanted to spend the morning in his partner’s arms. A bit of relaxation before the day became full of disappointment. Realistically, what would change? What would make today any different than yesterday?

The answer to that question came to him during breakfast. Allen, walking up, tray in hand with what Kanda considered to be the perfect morning meal. It brought a smile to his typically angry face, and made Allen’s absence earlier click in his head. He must have dodged Lenalee, and bribed the twins not to track him.

So he was here the whole time, doing this for him… How sweet. It gave Kanda warm fuzzy feeling that he wasn’t wholly used to. He reaches across the table, taking Allen’s hand in his own and brushing his thumb over the other’s knuckles. “Thank you, Allen.” He says, softly. Simply.

Maybe his birthday wouldn’t be just another day this year, after all.

I guess we could call it love at first sight. The station platform where we met one day. Why did you smile that day ? I too was smiling.

Completing like pieces of a puzzle, our story began. Your worried expression I loved more than anything else. Words that I want to tell you softly.

Even if Spring comes, even if Summer goes, The wind is calling for us. While holding hands, believe in me. Let's walk together through this season.

In the gondola, overlooking the night, Surrounded by particles of light, Because I remember the promise we made, Now standing next to you, I'm thinking about it.

Beyond Fall, even if Winter stops, I will be by your side. We don't have to rush. Matching our steps, Let's walk together through this season.

The sense of peace we bring May change a little over time but Today as well, we'll add color. Let's paint together you and I's season.

The warm sunshine, the gentle wind, The future waiting for the both of us. With our messy bed hair, Waking each other up saying good morning, I'll protect you with my own smile.

Even if Spring comes, even if Summer goes, The wind is calling for us. While holding hands, believe in me. Let's walk together through this season.

You and I's season.

추석 때 처형네 식구가 부산에 와서 칸다소바 본점에 갔다. 서울 서촌점이나 부산 서면점이나 마찬가지로 여기는 20대 손님이 대부분이고 30대도 별로 없다. 또, 여자끼리 오거나 커플은 많지만 남자끼리 오는 손님도 거의 없는데, 그날은 아주 특이하게도, 휴가 나온 징집병(?) 3명이 보였다.

여기 맛이 생각나지만 집에서 나오기는 너무 귀찮은 날에 몇 번 마눌님께서 마제소바 제조를 시도해 보셨는데, 비슷한 맛도 나지 않는 것을 보니.. 50여가지 재료에.. 만들기가 어려워 일본에서도 별로 파는 집이 없고.. 하는 말이 사실인지도 모르겠다.

가게에 붙어 있는 메뉴얼에 따르면 마제소바가 나오면 일단 비빈 다음 좀 먹어보고, 나중에 식초를 넣으라고 되어 있는데... 서촌에서 처음 먹었던 날을 제외하면 무조건 처음부터 식초를 넣고 있다. 이 맛에서 식초가 빠지면 뭐랄까.. MSG 안 들어간 중화요리? 마제소바의 감칠맛은 식초에서 나온다.

여기는 나름 레트로 인테리어를 추구해서 요즘 잘 쓰지도 않는 형광등 조명이 달려 있고, 심지어 주황색이다. 주황색 조명을 받으니 오늘따라 식초병이 예뻐 보여서 메인 음식은 놔두고 식초병을 찍어 보았다. 그리고, 평소보다 오래 기다린 소바가 나오자마자 듬뿍 쳐서 먹었다, 식초.

During Chuseok holydays, my brother-in-law's family came to Busan, so we visited "Kanda Soba". Like the Seochon branch in Seoul or Seomyeon branch in Busan, most of the customers here are 20s, and there are not many even over 30s. Also, there are a lot of women visitors or man & woman couples, but few men only groups come here, but on that day, very unusually, three conscripts(?) who were on vacation were there.

On days when I miss the taste of this place but was too lazy to leave the house, my wife tried making "maze-soba" a few times, but it didn't taste the same at all.

According to the manual attached to the wall of the bistro, when the maze-soba is served, you should try it first without vinegar and then add some vinegar later. However, except for the first time I ate it at Seochon branch, I always add vinegar from the beginning. What if the vinegar is missing from this taste? It is just like the Chinese food without MSG. The umami of maze-soba comes from the vinegar.

In pursuit of a retro mood, the fluorescent lights was set in the shop, which are not often used these days, and those are even orange lights. When it was lit up in orange, the vinegar bottle looked pretty, so I put aside the shot of main dish, instead, took a shot of the vinegar bottle. And when the soba was served, that I waited longer than usual, I ate it with plenty of that vinegar.
