#Aoto Gang

[uenodivision]

After much consideration (and a bunch of begging and pleading from some of my acquaintances), I've decided to take the leap and create one or two new divisions. Unfortunately, I jumped the gun and came up with too many ideas. I like all of the divisions I've created and I can't possibly pick one over the other, so...

...I'm leaving that decision up to you all. I'll let you decide which divisions should be the ones I create. Simply vote for the two (and only two) that you like the most. At the end of an extended time period, I'll reveal which teams won.

However, don't count on them being released before the year is over, though. I have ideas for them all, but they'll take a while to implement.

So, without further ado, please feel free to click the link up top to the poll and choose the divisions you like the most. And if you need some info on the divisions, simply click the button below:

1nc09n170: A team of secret hackers whose lives and identities are completely shrouded in both mystery and myth. Even the most talented computer specialists, both in and outside of Chuohku, have managed to find next to nothing about these individuals. Some say that they are more than one person. Others say that they are a team, but because of their impressive technology, they are able to change and switch up their appearances with little to no effort, which makes them extremely hard to identify. The only known thing about them is that they all share one goal: to drag Japan forward into the future, whether they are ready or not...

Aoto Gang: A group of thugs based out of Okayama who rules their city and division with an iron fist in a velvet glove. They are fair and just to those who have earned their favor and pardon. But to all those who disappoint them, or have less than amicable intentions for their town, they show no mercy. Their leader is a well-known Banchō, who is well-known throughout all of Japan despite just being an ordinary hoodlum. It's for this reason that Chuohku kidnapped his younger sister, forcing him and his cohorts to enter the D.R.B., which, in hindsight, may not have been their smartest play...

Drive Team 6: This high-speed trio is known throughout all of Japan for being the forerunners in Tokyo's underground racing scene. By day, they are average Japanese citizens just trying to make a living like every other poor fool. When the sun goes down, however, they discard their personas and put on their racing gear, prepared to zoom down the dangerous highways that they call their racetrack. And now that Chuohku has offered them the chance to join the D.R.B. in order to obtain information for each member, they are determined to prove to all of the other teams out there, that the only way to live and win is to be fast!

Fūrinkazan: These young high-school athletes are known throughout the entire city of Kōfu. And when you realize that this city used to be the stronghold of the great Japanese warlord, Takeda Shingen, then their team name makes sense. No matter what sport they participate in, they all strive to be four things: wind, trees, fire, and mountains. Separately, they are already dangerous. But together, they make an unstoppable force that no one can defeat, whether it's in sports or rapping. And upon hearing that their rivals, the Aoto Gang, have joined the D.R.B., that was all the reason they needed to sign up, themselves!

Maid in Bliss: These three young women are all daughters of one of the most feared generals who ever stepped on the battlefield during WW III. And although an injury sadly put an end to his career as a soldier, that didn't stop him from passing on his gifts to his offspring. Though they may be maids out in the open who are very good at their jobs, they also have a reputation for being quite merciless and bloodthirsty, especially when it comes to those who dare insult their family. It's because of this that one must wonder whether Chuohku knew what they were doing when they decided to abduct their father in hopes that it would force the three of them to join the D.R.B. to rescue him...

song narae & noelle nam - noelle's father is a pretty infamous figure in the crime scene, leader of a big gang. maybe narae has been a contract killer for her father and now they're seeing each other or hooking up in secret bc noelle's father would not be happy if he knew abt it LMAOO..

kaminari aoto & beatrice "bea" tao - i always love those innocent girl plots where she gets corrupted by someone who maybe doesn't have as many morals... maybe these two aren't good for each other but can't get enough of each other?

Thoughts about summer clothes:

they are in order of costume -> ready-to-wear lmao

they won't co-ordinate six whole looks just for two days of events, this has to be in the show if with their usual hairstyles/wigs

(bandai has sales targets you know 😏)

even though official twitter called them "campaign-only" as least

GIVE ME THE BEACH/CAMP EP NOW

Realistically, since they went on a roller-coaster, i'm assuming it'd be a future King-Chan episode.

I'm so not used to Rita wearing white no purple my first thought was 'Is that Yuzuki's own clothes??'

[definitely overthinking] RED ALERT Rita's bracelet is missing! It's passed down from Karras and they had it on even with yukata so I really don't think they'd take it off easily unless.... (they (temporarily) pass the throne back to Karras or to Morfonia...)

Earcuff-chan :) !

I think even if Rita really does wear this in the show they'd be wearing more I can't imagine them presenting themself like this yet. The mask ain't coming off.

the shoes is kinda strange as well because it's obviously toei property but not the same pair as the yukata ones or as decorated so i'm not entirely closed to the idea it's one of yuzuki's seven pairs of black sandals but again, definitely overthinking

:((( RIP tank top rita

Blond Aoto did tricked me into looking for Yanma at first glance but Blond Yanma is not exactly a bad idea?? He just looks thoroughly yankee now...

Loooove Souchou's shirt! Looks simple at first but his "Teppen" logo is embroidered on the breast pocket. I loved Aoto's concept of incorporating the N'kosopa gang in his T-shirt design. The denim would also make it an easy piece to mix and match!

Yanma's wearing his usual tank top underneath

💜💙🤍 sporting new necklaces

Loooove Himeno's dress! I thought it was a RTW at first but it's the same cut/pattern as her standard one, and I love how the choice of gingham giving that picnic vibe! (*starts daydreaming about making it over the weekend, the weekend that's well into winter*)

Himeno's earrings! I know it's a flower but it looks like a glazed doughnut ring i want to eat it 🥺🥹

Why is Gira the only one with no change??? 🤣

Sakai Taisei go get a haircut

Masashi is, a prince?? Prince Jeramie?? Literally the Prince in White??

(but also what an antique way of dress lol)

Kaku-san is incredible but a junpei is making him even more the dad friend 😂🤣

bet they're selling that too. gotta milk that commissioned art.

even if they're not ALL switiching outfits in-show at least Kaguragi, Jeramie and Himeno right.

saw a twitter theory they're all looking different because.... time-skip! very interesting idea narratively but i can't take it... missing a chunk of my faves' lives i can't take that.

if wings have an undercover episode in this look

[italian-love-cake]

Finally got my MC to look like the character she's named after, Kasumi from Way of the Samurai 2. I saw this hair and KNEW I had to get it in order to complete the look that I wanted.
