Title: Guarded Heart

Fandom: Jujutsu Kaisen

Relationships: Fushiguro Megumi/Gojo Satoru

Summary:

Megumi, personal guard of the imperial son of the Gojo family, keeps his cursed energy shielded to avoid questions about his unknown heritage. He doesn’t usually have any trouble keeping things under wraps. And then, on the latest visit to the Imperial Palace, he comes across Zenin Naoya, imperial son of the Zenin family.

A finger tilts his head up. “You’re my bodyguard,” Gojo says, “and your place is by my side. Always. That means where I am, you are. And where you are, I am as well.”

“Nothing, and no one, is taking you away from me, Megumi.”

You never mattered to me, and I never loved you. Everything you ever thought was true about us was just a lie.

With Donnie and Leo (platonic obviously)

Donnie pauses at Leo’s words.

“Leo. That’s not what I said. I just said I won’t leave my lab and watch a Jupiter Jim movie with you!”

Leo has a very dramatic scrunched up face as he crosses his arms and looks away

“That’s basically the same thing! You’re going to deny me!? On my own birthday!?”

“It’s also my birthday. We have the same birthday-…..you have something set up in the movie room, don’t you?”

Leo flicks his hand around.

“Whaaaaaat? No way! You’re sounding crazy!”

Donnie rolls his eyes but has the faintest smile.

“Give me an hour to finish and we’ll go “watch the movie” he said with so much sarcasm.”

Leo smirks.

“Alright, fine. I’m setting a timer!” He runs off.

Donnie turns back around to his project.

There’s no way Leo is going to show him up this year.

59 minutes later, Donnie arrives in the movie room. The tech he wasn’t working on is hidden behind his shell.

He watches as Leo sits, staring at his phone until the alarm goes off a minute later and he hops up, excited.

Donnie is suddenly nervous.

Leo sees him and eagerness is written all over his face.

“Finally! Okay, I’ve got your favorite Jupiter Jim movie set up, even if it is stupid, flavorless juice, pizza from Hueso’s, aaaand….your birthday present!” He portals in a comic and leans over, smiling wider.

Donnie’s eyes absolutely gleam.

“The limited edition special collectors misprint where Atomic Lass had a different color scheme!?”

“Signed her and made out to you! I had to do A LOT of chores for Marcus to get it, but boom! Best gift giver ever!” Leo brags.

Donnie feels unsure, gripping the item in his hands more.

Leo’s face drops.

“You don’t want it.”

“Leo, I have never wanted anything more in my entire life. I….also made you a present.”

Stars nearly appear in Leo’s eyes and he puts the comic down somewhere safe before holding his hands out and making grabbing motions.

“Hand it over!”

Donnie hesitantly reveals it.

“I modified a sword for you that can make it also shoot spit balls, I wanted to at least use bb pellets but Raph wouldn’t let me and-”

Leo crashes into Donnie, send them both to the floor while he hugs the life out of him.

“That is SO cool! You’re the best, Dee!”

Donnie smiles and hugs Leo back tightly.

Leo had shown him up again.

Donnie still won though.

The essay about Baron's age that nobody asked for <3

Introduction

Baron’s age has confused viewers for many years, probably ever since New Vestroia aired in 2009. When it comes to the English dub, Baron’s physique and prepubescent voice leave many baffled and scrambling for some kind of in-universe explanation as to why he looks like a young adult but sounds like a preteen. Because of this strange phenomenon, many people speculate that Vestals may develop at a faster rate than humans and being 12 is the Vestal equivalent to being in your late teens.

But what if I told you that the more likely explanation is that the English dub simply made Baron younger than originally intended, and wrote him to be more childish than how he was originally portrayed? I will go into further detail below the reasons why I believe that to be the case.

Age altering in BB.

My claim that Baron’s age has been altered can be supported by the ages given by the official Japanese website for the first season[1].

While the ages haven’t been dramatically changed, it still shows that the English version altered their ages. And considering how the English dub is known for making countless changes in the original script (Baron also had his last name changed from Rich to Leltoy), it stands to reason that Baron’s age was also among one of them.

Physical appearance and voice.

At first glance, Baron is thought to be around 16-18 years old based off his character design alone, and understandably so. Baron is the tallest and most muscular member of the Resistance, and his voice in the Japanese dub is deeper than his English counterpart. If Baron was intentionally being written as more immature and childish because he’s 12 in the English dub, naturally his voice would reflect that.  

Designated driver.

Baron is the only person shown to drive the Resistance base (with the exception of Ace who drove it one time while Baron was absent. Ace' driving skills are alright but there was an instance were he wasn't driving properly lol) If we take Japanese laws into consideration, it would mean that Baron is at least 18 years of age for him to be able to drive[2]. Mira being 16 and driving a motorcycle would also be in accordance with Japanese legislation [2], as well as Fabia being 16 and engaged to be married (the legal age of marriage for girls in Japan used to be 16 before 2022 [3].)

Baron’s plans to move out.

In S2EP28 it’s revealed that Baron intends to move out of his parents’ house. Unfortunately, you’ll get different versions of this storyline depending on which dub you're watching. In the Japanese dub, Baron doesn’t hide from his family members the fact that he’s going to move out soon, and it’s entirely his own decision (not influenced by Ace in the slightest.) His reasons are that his household is too cramped with people but also that he wishes to be independent. According to his father, Baron had announced his plans to move out before his youngest sibling had been born which means that Baron has wanted to move out for quite some time.

Baron: 気持ちはうれしいですけど、シャーマンも進化したことだし、俺も早く一人前になりたいし -> “I appreciate their concern, but you’ve [Shaman] evolved and I want to become an adult as soon as possible.”[4]

Where 一人前 means “full-fledged-person, an adult, etc.”

 

Baron: 俺もそろそろ自立する年頃っすよ! -> “I’m old enough to be independent!”[4]

Where 年頃 means “appropriate age, age of maturity, adulthood, etc.”

If Baron's words are to be taken at face value, he's essentially stating that he's either around or at the age where one is considered an adult in Vestal society. Now, since we have no reason to believe that Vestals have different ages of maturity compared to humans (because it's not stated anywhere in canon) I’ll once again look to Japanese society for when it's common for young adults to move out. There is a 2020 online survey that asked Japanese men and women from the age of 15-59 when they moved out of their parents’ house, and it seems the most popular answer was 18-19 years old [5].

Which again suggests that Baron could, at the very least, be 18 years old.

Change in dialogue between the JPN/ENG dub.

I’ve mentioned before that Baron appears more childish in the English dub compared to the original. While Baron is undoubtedly intended to be comedic relief – especially when it comes to his admiration of the Battle Brawlers – I still believe he acts even sillier in the English dub than warranted, and so I want to compare some scenes to showcase how it affects the overall reading of his character.

Baron is seen as a dependable figure by Shaman in the original dub, whereas the English dub makes it seem as if he needs a caretaker[6]. Baron is shown to have made his own decision regarding moving out where in the English dub, he is heavily influenced by Ace and Percival who tell him to grow up. Baron also seems to have an interest in girls, but that observation can no longer be made in the English dub, as the context has been replaced with a barf joke[7].

Honorifics.

In the Japanese version, Baron refers to the Brawlers as his senpais (seniors) but does not use the same honorific for Mira and Ace. That is because he looks up to the original Battle Brawlers as his heroes since they're the six new Legendary Warriors and prevented the destruction of Vestroia. Regardless of their ages, the Brawlers still outrank Baron in terms of experience because of their past feats. The fact that Baron doesn't address Mira and Ace in a similar manner implies that all three of them are on the same level in terms of their brawling skills. If his usage of that honorific was to reflect the fact that he is the youngest and most inexperienced member of the group (as Baron's English wikia description says,) he would also be calling Mira and Ace his senpais or something similar, but he doesn’t.

These screenshots are from MP100 where an older coworker calls Mob his senpai because Mob has worked at their agency for longer and has more work experience. Similarly, Baron can still be considered older despite seeking guidance from those younger than him. 

Manner of speech.

This senpai-kouhai dynamic is also reflected in Baron’s speech pattern known as “kōhai kuchō” or junior tone. It’s a way of speaking that is casual but still polite enough to use one with one’s senpai. It’s generally discouraged to use in formal settings but has grown popular among young men, especially in sports clubs. This may explain Baron’s physique considering his way of speaking is typically associated with athleticism in real life[8].

Final words.  

Baron Rich is a character whose age has been a mystery to many viewers of the show, prompting the fandom to give their own headcanons for why he looks so much older than his age.

My hypothesis is that because the English dub team saw Baron as the "Battle Brawlers fanboy," his age and dialogue needed to fit that image better. Sadly, they seemed to not have taken into account that Baron is a young adult who had plans to move out later on in the story. This wouldn't be the first time the English dub lacked foresight when it came to their writing decisions — as they also made a blunder when it came to Shiori's death and Shun’s relationship with his grandfather — and it also would not be the last (Plitheon turning against Jesse in S3 only for them to magically became friends again.)

I believe that Baron was intentionally made younger by the English dub, and the plethora of changes to the story between the JPN and ENG dub clearly speaks in favor of this assumption. Thanks for coming to my TED talk!!
