What KHR characters call everyone in Japanese

If KHR characters use the second person, let's see who they call whom and how. For now, let's talk about the 10th generation.

To begin with, the second person is rarely used in Japanese conversation. Japanese can function without a subject or object, so there is no need for the word "you" to be present in a conversation. And many people call the person by their name or attributes when they need to call speaking to. So, if the distance is close but the name is not listed, assume that the most basic way of call for them is used. Or very little.

Then, the following should be noted:

It's just if they have ever called them in canon.

Basically, we can think no special meaning is implied. It was possible that they just happened to need to use second person pronouns to speaking with. Please enjoy it as a reference!

If you need an explanation about second person pronouns in Japanese :)))

Tsuna

He almost always calls someone by their name. But sometimes he uses:

"Omae" (お前/おまえ)

To Reborn, Lambo, Haru, Enemys(including past one), and everyone when he is hyper mode.

"Kimi"(君/きみ)

To Gokudera, Chrome, Kyoko(rarely), Enma

Gokudera

He rather rarely calls people by their name. He calls everyone by nickname. Or

"Omae" (it can be rough sometimes)

To everyone without Tsuna and Reborn (Especially, Yamamoto, Haru, Lambo)

Or he sometimes calls Bianchi "Anta". See immediately below for more details on this. And it is sometimes used at a time when a rebellious child is unsure what to call a parent. When he uses this second person pronoun to her, there is more like this nuance than rude, it feel like clumsy.

Yamamoto

He uses both their name and second person pronouns. However, he uses different the second person between enemies and friends.

"Omae"

To everyone who isn't his enemy. But it's not often used for older than him.

"Anta"(あんた)

This is a corruption of the pronunciation of "Anata". The expression is relatively rough and not polite. It have a little rude nuances, so it isn't used with people who has relationship. But these aren't much of a problem for middle school students to use to people who have distance.

To his enemies (maybe adult one, he uses "Omae" to Ken.)

Ryohei

He uses their name as a second person. But when he uses second person pronouns, it's quite unique.

"Omae "

To everyone

"Kisama" (貴様/きさま)

In today, it is rough expression. In comics, villains sometimes use it. However, he uses it, there is no nuance of looking down on the others. Rather, it feel honest or simple honesty like his old-fashioned Japanese boy style.

To enemies (including light quarrel)

Hibari

He never attempt to call people their name as a second person. It's only Kusakabe and Roll that he does so. If it's absolutely necessary, he calls them by full name.

"Kimi"

To everyone, even animals or human.

"Anata"

To Dino (I thought he uses for adults, but he used "Kimi" for Genkishi or Xanxus.)

Lambo

As you know, he is unique kid. He speaks like to everyone present rather than conversing with any one person. Therefore, the second person is used less often. And when he uses it, he almost always calls the others by their name. Sometimes:

"Omae"

To Reborn, enemies (kid and both adult)

"Anta" (rarely)

To enemies (+10yo adult uses)

Mukuro

He doesn't call people by their names very often basically. Occasionally he calls them by their name, but it uses their full name. And this isn't the case towards to his companions. He sometimes calls his companion their first name.

"Kimi"

To everyone with his companions

"Omae"

To his companions (especially Ken and Flan)

Chrome

She is quiet, using few words so mostly no subject or object. Therefore, there may be rather more opportunities to use second person pronouns than person's name. However, she often calls Ken, Chikusa, and Mukuro by their first names.

"Anata"

To everyone (Especially stranger. And it's regardless of ages.)

In addition, it they call to someone by name, they may be given honorific titles and a variety of suffixes. Which one they choose will give a completely different impression. If I try to combine them into one post, it would be a book :D I will post other character's second person or honorific titles soon, but again, it can't go into detail of all. So if you need more details or specific information, feel free to ask:)))

Thank you for reading!!

Day twoooooo: one random thing they'd get into a heated discussion for (for me its bad musical adaptations, I will rip some of them to fucking shreds) either for K project (Homra+Saru) or KHR (Vongola+Varia), i'll let you decide

This one was really fun to consider so thank you so much for sending it in! I went with KHR for this one, and hope you’ll enjoy!

Tsuna doesn’t honestly have many things that he gets really, really worked up about, other than the very obvious one that we see brought up a lot throughout the manga and anime. He’s really not okay with anyone hurting innocent people, no matter the reasons. It’s not something he can forgive and while he’ll try to understand the other person’s reasoning, he’s going to try to get through to them that it’s not okay and will try to convince them to stop. And if he can’t…let’s not forget, guys, that Tsuna did canonically kill Byakuran in the Future Arc. It might have been an alternate future, so arguments can be made that it doesn’t count, but I do believe that it does.

Gokudera loves good horror movies…or really, really terrible ones. He watches a lot of them and is really well versed in the different horror movie genres and tropes and he can get really fired up when discussing any horror franchises and whether they’re good or bad or whether a new release was worth the hype or not. He does a lot of research into the movies he hated and the ones he loved, so he can pull out all these really interesting but obscure facts in an attempt to get his point across and ‘win’ the discussion/debate.

Yamamoto is a baseball nut through and through. He can easily get into heated discussions and debates over which teams will make the playoffs, on which players should have been traded to which teams, on which players are having good seasons and what they should improve on, and so on and so forth. He’s really knowledgeable on the subject too, so he’s coming in with facts and figures and proof of his opinions.

Ryohei’s topic? C’mon, everyone knows this one! It’s boxing, bar none, with proper training and exercise techniques coming in a close second.

Lambo has very strong opinions on video games. He really likes playing video games, especially if they’re two-player ones, but he’s also really particular about what makes a good video game. Of course, his heated discussion is usually just him calling the other person stupid, wrong, and a doo-doo head, but hey…he’s five, what do you expect?

Hibari has a very strong sense of rules and order. He won’t get into heated debates or discussions on them though. He’s just going to beat them into the head of whoever defies or disagrees with him.

Mukuro likes fashion. He really does. He might have a very unique fashion sense, but clothing and accessories appeal to him and he can get into very heated debates on the subject of fashion, whether it be whether something is simply a trend or a classic style, or what type or brand of boots is better or whether gold is gaudy or timeless.

Chrome actually really likes birds and does know quite a bit about them. She doesn’t really often speak up, but she can get really adamant about what type of bird it is that someone saw or that’s nearby and it can test her patience a little bit if people who don’t know what they’re talking about want to argue with her about it. She normally won’t argue, just because that’s not what Chrome does, but it will really perturb her.

Okay, but nobody is getting into heated arguments with Xanxus. Seriously, anyone who would attempt to do so is taking their lives in their hands and most of them really just succeed in pissing him off and ending up dead or seriously injured. He really does take people trying to start even friendly debates with him as them trying to provoke him or fight with him.

Have you met Squalo? He has strong opinions on everything, and he can make everything into an argument. There is no one thing that makes him get into a heated discussion. There is everything and the heated discussions usually become out and out fights.

Belphegor does think the knives he uses, specially made for him, are, of course, superior to all others, but he does know his other knives. He knows the makes and models, the better points of each brand and type, and does have very strong opinions on which knives are worth it and which ones are made just to look pretty. He can get very, very testy about that topic.

Lussuria has surprisingly strong opinions on boy bands. He knows boy bands from many different cultures, he has his favourites, and he will have no problem telling you why your favourite is trash if it does not mesh with his favourites. For example, in Lussuria’s opinion, BTS is the best K-pop boy band out there currently, and EXO is the worst, and he will have long lectures of why this is true.

Levi really, really does not take kindly to anyone doubting or bad-mouthing his boss. Xanxus is the subject he will most fiercely defend. It doesn’t matter if it’s someone from the Varia or someone from another family or such, but the person who dares to say something anything less than glowing about Xanxus is catching a verbal beat-down and long lectures on Xanxus’ glory from Levi, if he doesn’t just resort to violence.

2020 CREATOR WRAP: FAVOURITE WORKS  

Rules: It’s time to love yourselves! Choose your 5 (or so) favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2020. Tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome work

Thanks for tagging me, @hawopro! This is a tough one. I’ve made a ton of gifs in 2020.

Tagging: @ninotrash, @yahbacon, @hanevma​, @scarletsm​, @arianna-nuvola​

FIVE.  Katekyo Hitman Reborn! The Stage: Vongola (Half) Rings gifset. I started working on this around December 2019 iirc, then shelved it because VS Varia Part II came around and I was busy doing daily photo compilations. I think I posted this in February? But man, it feels so long ago. More like 2019 than 2020 haha. Anyway, the VS Varia pamphlets had photos of the two half rings, so I decided to superimpose them and do this simple animation. I remember struggling to get the colors I wanted for these gifs lol, and also figuring out what to do with the 2 extra spaces in the 3x3 gifset.

FOUR. Zero Point Breakthrough: Revised gifset. This one didn’t get a lot of notes but it’s the set that I worked on the most in the GMPmeme. I kept redoing the flame effect over and over and over and over lmao.

THREE. This joke meme I made about the Vongola Rings ending up as top trending on Twitter. It was a rush edit that could’ve been better, but it really took off more than I expected lol. I should really clean it up and post a blank version for KHR fans to use lol.

TWO.  Cale Henituse’s Ancient Powers gifset. This one was my first and last attempt at an aesthetic gifset. It was fun experimenting and combining overlays, but my inspiration decreased each gif I made lmao.

ONE. Ji Jingwu birthday gifset. Hahaha, was there any doubt? This gifset turned out nicer and more balanced than I expected. Did a lot of different styles in this gifset, and I’m glad the animated stats turned out nicely. Also the typography! And the snap! And the easter egg Sunday! There’s so much I love about this, and the eyecandy is satisfying lmao. I'm not sure I can ever make a creative gifset that can top this one. I tried once, and failed terribly lol.

"It's that a puppy?? Oh- OH okay, yeah, right, that's- that's not- um"

Zookeeper AU: The cast of KHR all work at a zoo in some shape or form. Some are tour guides, some work with the animals, some work behind the scenes!  However, they all have beef with each other, and there are certain cliques of employees (these being the same as canon: Varia, Vongola, Arco, etc.) though they don’t have actual group names. They are simply like... groups of associates who shoot the shit (and are also very bad at their jobs.)  Workplace comedy, The Office style, centered around the day to day shenanigans they all get up to. 

Featuring:

An animal breakout due to Kokuyo Gang negligence, except no one can directly pin the mishap on them so they go unpunished. Everyone has their Suspicions, however.

Animal rights activist Hibari Kyouya, who attempts to free the big cats. He does this not out of sympathy, but simply because he wants to know what would happen. The big cats like him very much, oddly enough.

Ryohei, a handler at the Zoo, gets into a fist fight with a bear.

Reborn is an entomologist working in the insect exhibit

Skull is a tour guide that Reborn beefs with extensively. A chance meeting in the insect hall is grounds for a fight.

Gokudera is very passionate about parrots and also his demon of a cat Uri. He has a photo of her in his wallet.

Tsuna is a janitor

Hana and Kyoko work concessions and the gift shop, respectively

[skygemspeaks]

i'm a little bit late but!! khr's "art evolution" is so cool. idk if you've watched the anime, but natsume's book of friends has a really nice style change too!

oh my gosh, i fucking love natsume yuujinchou!!! it’s my oldest active fandom actually, and i will sing its praises til the day i die!!!

anyways if any of my followers haven’t seen it yet, here’s my token attempt to get y’all into it:

next to no romance

a strong focus on friendship and found family!!!!

the main character is an orphan who had a traumatic childhood being passed from foster family to foster family and you see echoes of it in his dreams, his memories, and in the way he acts. but all the worst parts are already in the past!! he has a forever family now and they love him with all their hearts! he has all the love he deserves!!!

there’s a fat talking cat who acts like an asshole to his human but loves him more than anything and would destroy anyone who would hurt him

there’s a heavy focus on the main character healing from his childhood and opening up to his loved ones. over time he learns to love himself and accept that he deserves to take up space and be loved and be happy.

oh, and he makes friends with supernatural creatures who seek him out because they mistake him for his dead grandmother

BnHA Bonus Rant #4: Bakumom

Okay guys. This is my post about Bakugou Mitsuki. This is actually my third attempt at trying to write a post on this topic; I tried to do one back when I was getting ready to post the recap for chapter 96, but wasn’t able to coherently get across all of the thoughts I wanted to convey, so I ended up deleting it. Then in response to one of the comments on that recap, I ended up writing another post, and this time I managed to get out almost 1200 words on the subject! But during the editing process, I realized that it just wasn’t something I had the energy to discuss. The topic of “is this character abusive” is obviously a very sensitive one, and something that a lot of people have very strong feelings about, and I realized that my post wasn’t going to convince anyone one way or the other, and that it was more likely to lead to a discussion that I had absolutely no spoons for. Like, all my spoons went into the post itself, and that was it. So in the end I scrapped that too (and my apologies to @temperatezone, who made a very reasonable point very tactfully, which I basically ended up just ignoring because at the time I wasn’t ready to get into it).

Before we start -- regarding spoilers, I’ve done my best to keep this post spoiler-free so long as you are caught up with the anime (or have read up to the manga equivalent, which is around chapter 125 or thereabouts). There is, however, one manga spoiler in here from chapter 165 (which, if you’ve read the chapter, you’ll know why it was unavoidable, seeing as it pertains directly to the subject at hand). It is not in any way a plot spoiler; it’s basically a single line from one of the characters, and the details regarding where and when that line is said are irrelevant, so I’ve left that out. So if you are anime-only, it’s up to you whether you want to skip this post or not, but that will be the only spoiler in here.

So now that I’m on my third attempt, I’ve done a bit more thinking on how I want to approach this. Basically, I think the problem I kept running up against before is that as far as I can see, there are two ways to look at this. The first is by looking at the author’s intent. “Okay, the scene is clearly presented in the context of humor and is a classic example of the well-established Tough Love style of anime parenting (see also: Izumi from FMA, Reborn from KHR, Isshin from Bleach, etc.) and not meant to be taken in an overly deep way. The scene immediately afterward with her ruffling Katsuki’s hair and thanking Aizawa for his understanding and mentioning her worry and relief during and after the kidnapping and asking his teachers to help guide him is meant to serve as a contrast to the violence and shouting and insults to show that contrary to that initial impression, she loves and cares about him just like any other mother. The scene is meant as a lighthearted way of showing where Bakugou inherited his loud and angry temperament from, and kind of jokingly implying that he’s more or less just a clone of his mom.”

Whereas the other approach is to look at what the author is actually portraying. “It doesn’t matter if it was intended to be a joke or not; she is abusive. She smacks him repeatedly for basically no reason, and screams at him and insults him to this degree even when there are other people present. Perhaps more disturbingly, she implies that him being kidnapped was his own fault, because he was ‘weak.’ Later on we learn that he genuinely believes this and has internalized it, and blames himself not only for getting kidnapped, but for what it led to with All Might losing his powers as a consequence. Even further down the line, Bakugou makes a throwaway remark to the effect of ‘[violence is] how I was raised.’ This implies that it wasn’t just a one-time thing and that his mother is like this all the time, to the point where violence is basically the norm for him and he doesn’t even realize how fucked up it is.”

So those are basically the two perspectives here. And for me, I realized that the problem that I had was that both of these perspectives are valid. At least I think they are. If I were to try to argue the former -- which was my first instinct -- I would in all likelihood have to try and refute the latter. And honestly, I don’t think I would be able to do that, because that argument is a completely valid argument. Not to mention I don’t have much of a leg to stand on as far as trying to argue that Horikoshi’s intentions matter more than his end results, because if you’ve read any of my recaps, you know that this is basically the one and only time I’ve ever said that, lol. I’ve never particularly cared about his harmless intentions when it comes to Mineta, or overly sexualized teenage girls, or Ochako being comically poor, or any of the other topics I’ve occasionally bitched about. So it seems a bit hypocritical for me to suddenly start arguing that now.

So I won’t. Instead, I’m going to go ahead and acknowledge that it’s a valid interpretation. Regardless of what Horikoshi was going for, if you’re looking solely at the end result, then yeah. What he showed us can definitely be taken as abuse. I don’t think it’s an overreaction, and there is a lot to back it up.

That being acknowledged, what I’m going to talk about instead is why I have such a strong desire in this case to ignore the clumsy way the relationship is presented in canon, and to instead view the relationship the way I believe it’s intended to come across. Why do I so badly want for Bakugou to have a (more or less) healthy relationship with his parents? Why does the idea of him having a bad home life leave such a bad taste in my mouth?

And I think this is what it is: one of the key things that draws me to Bakugou’s character is that he doesn’t have A Tragic Past. There’s this tendency in shounen manga to give virtually every important character a sad backstory (looking at you in particular, Naruto and One Piece), with the level of tragedy gradually escalating as the series goes on, until you get to a point where the fandom is literally having debates over whose past is the most tragic. And this has kind of indirectly given rise to several beliefs that I often see articulated and/or implied in fandom:

That there must always be some observable external reason for a character’s personality and temperament, rather than that just being who they are.

That there is a direct correlation between the severity of a character’s past and the validity of that character’s actions. In other words, the person with the more tragic backstory has the moral upper hand in any dispute, simply because they’ve been through more bad shit.

That a character’s potential for redemption is directly tied to how sad their backstory is.

I see this all the time, and not just in shounen fandom for that matter. The basic idea seems to be that if bad things have happened to a character in the past, then it means any bad things they themselves have done are not their fault, and they should be forgiven and given a second chance. The thing is, I’ve always disliked this way of thinking, because to me it strays from what I think is the most crucial element of any redemption arc: taking responsibility. 

Redemption, to me, shouldn’t simply be about whether we feel sorry for the character, or whether they have suffered enough and been punished enough for whatever it is they did, or even whether or not they had a good reason for it. To me, it’s about one thing and one thing only: is the character trying to be better. Do they want to change? Are they making the same mistakes over and over, or are they actually learning and trying to grow? 

To me, redemption is an active process. It’s something the character has to seek out themselves. It’s not something that’s granted to them (key difference here between “redemption” and “forgiveness”), nor does it matter whether or not anyone else thinks they deserve it. For me, at least, it’s simply a matter of whether or not the character is willing to take responsibility for their mistakes, and whether they actually take action toward becoming better.

That being said, this is the main problem I have with the “Mitsuki is abusive” line of thinking: from what I have observed (and not always, mind you, but often enough), this headcanon tends to overlap with the idea that Bakugou’s violent behavior is not his fault, and that he’s only like that because of the way he was raised. In some cases I’ve seen it taken even further than that, with basically Bakugou’s entire backstory basically being rewritten to make him out as just a poor traumatized kid who would never have abused Izuku if it wasn’t for Mitsuki’s abuse, and so the blame actually falls on her and not him. And that, right there, is probably the biggest problem I have with this. That shifting of the blame. Making it so that Bakugou is absolved of responsibility for his own shitty actions, because it turns out that he was just a victim too. 

And actually, it’s even more than that: it’s also the implied suggestion that this is the only way he can be redeemed. That he only qualifies for redemption if he had a good reason for his actions. That we can only feel sorry for him if he’s not to blame for the mistakes that he made, and if it Wasn’t His Fault.

And damn it, but I just take so much issue with this. Because to me, ironically enough, this narrative robs Bakugou of the agency that I personally believe is key to him getting the redemption arc he actually deserves. Does that make sense? Basically, I want Bakugou’s mistakes to be acknowledged as his own mistakes. Because they are. I want him to be able to take ownership of them and to realize what he did wrong. I want him to learn from those mistakes and to grow as a person because of them. I don’t want it to be all “oh sweetie it’s okay, it’s not your fault.” I want it to be “oh fuck, I really screwed up, and I hate the way I feel now because of it, and I never want to feel this way again, so I’m going to do better.” 

Because that’s the only way that real change actually happens. When it comes from within, from the character’s own desire to change. I don’t want a “he was never really bad, just misunderstood” narrative; I want “he fucked up, but he is learning from it, and he is growing.” That’s what I want.

So that, I think, is why the whole thing bothers me so much, and why I just can’t get behind the idea. Again, I won’t deny that the evidence is there. I just choose to interpret it another way. And it is just that: a choice. It’s a conscious choice to read between the lines and to add my own headcanons where necessary and insert little justifications and explanations for things when needed. 

Because to me, Bakugou having grown up in a supportive -- if chaotic -- household is important. It’s important because it shows that even people who grew up in healthy environments with no obvious trauma can fuck up regardless. And those people are still worthy of redemption.

I hope that all makes sense. (Particularly since if it doesn’t, I've just gone and pissed a whole bunch of people off, probably.) Anyways. So with all that being said, I’ll wrap this up with a list of my own personal headcanons about Mitsuki’s and Katsuki’s relationship.

First and foremost, if any of you have ever seen Malcolm in the Middle, I can very easily sum this all up by just saying that Mitsuki = Lois and Katsuki = Malcolm, Francis, and Reese all rolled up into one. That’s it. That’s the dynamic, right there.

But if you haven’t seen MitM, basically what I’m saying is that Katsuki is a precocious little brat who’s headstrong and rebellious and extremely independent and prone to only learning things the hard way, and Mitsuki is the stern and stubborn mom who is still caring and loving but also overbearing and aggressive. The two of them are always butting heads because they’re both extremely prideful and view themselves as always being right, and because Mitsuki’s overbearing tendencies clash directly with Katsuki’s independent streak.

Mitsuki actually is right more often than she’s not, which only fuels her own stubbornness as well at Katsuki’s teenage resentment towards her. She spent a lot of time when he was younger just trying to keep him from setting the house (and himself) on fire, and because he hardly ever listens, the two of them end up getting into a lot of screaming matches with each other, and nowadays that’s just kind of their dynamic and they’re just used to it.

She doesn’t actually think he’s weak, and she only said that because she knows that’s one of the few insults that rankles him enough to actually make him listen, and she was trying to get him to hush up and be respectful to his teachers, who were guests in their home and also his teachers, one of whom just saved his life and the other of whom defended his honor in a nationally broadcast press conference. And also this was part of the whole Japanese culture of being overly humble, and since she knew he was never gonna do it, she was kind of doing it for him. You know, like “thank you so much for saving me, I apologize for inconveniencing you.” Even though it wasn’t actually his fault.

He didn’t internalize the guilt about All Might because of what she said. I honestly think he barely even processed what she said because they’re always just yelling bullshit insults at each other that don’t actually really mean anything. He’s always been terrified of being weak precisely because he never has been. It’s the unknown. He wouldn’t know what to do if he wasn’t strong. It’s a fear he’s always had, and one that had been secretly growing stronger since he first started at U.A. What happened to All Might simply exacerbated that fear. It was already there, and he’d just kept it hidden for a very long time. His mom didn’t put the idea into his head, and never would have said it if she had even the slightest inkling that her cocky, arrogant, loudmouthed, forceful son was secretly harboring insecurities about that very thing.

Any violence in their household is the comedic shounen type of violence where no one is actually hurt in any way. But mostly it’s just loud.

They are so used to this being Just The Way Things Are that ironically, Katsuki would have been much more unsettled if, after he returned home following the kidnapping, his mom had been tender and affectionate. Mitsuki, being a smart mom, picked up on this, so in an effort to make him less uncomfortable, she took deliberate care to behave The Same As Always around him so that he could feel more normal. In fact she was actually still very freaked out herself for days afterward, much more so than she let on (because she’s just as bad at showing vulnerability as he is).

It actually helped. He will never ever acknowledge this out loud, but he realized what she was doing, and he’s grateful.

And I could go on and on, but I think this more or less summarizes how I view the two of them. They basically have their own language by this point, where phrases like “fuck you too” mean “I love you”, and so forth. She loves him to death and worries about him constantly and is so, so proud of him. He loves her too and she doesn’t piss him off nearly as much as he pretends, and he would be devastated beyond words if anything were to ever happen to her. He actually thinks she’s the strongest person he knows, maybe even tougher than All Might, and he would never, ever say this out loud.

Sooo... yeah. I’m trying to think of a good way to end this post now, but I can’t think of anything lol. I think I’ve said everything I wanted to. Tl;dr, I’ve made a conscious decision to view Mitsuki as a highly combative but loving parent to her troublesome tsundere son because I want Katsuki to man up and take responsibility for his own shit, because I love him. The end.

[khrsmiles]

I randomly tried to try myself in KHR anime style for fun awhile back! Figured i’d post the attempt here ahaha ;v;
