The Yamada Family's Special Curry: Hypmic Curry Drama Track TL
Jiro: A curry battle huh…? They sure came up with a weird idea this time around…
Ichiro: I also think it’s a strange concept, but I still want to prove we’re the best. Will you two help me out?
Jiro & Saburo: Of course!!
Ichiro: Glad to hear it!
Saburo: We’re used to making curry so I think we should get started immediately!
Ichiro: Ah, about that… *places down a plate* I actually went ahead and made a prototype curry!
Saburo: As expected, Ichi-nii, you prepared something beforehand!
Ichiro: If we’re going to win over everyone, we can’t just use our usual curry. I was hoping you guys could help me perfect the ultimate curry!
Saburo: Then we’ll try the prototype so we can start ameliorating any flaws it may have!!
Jiro: A-Ameli…?? I don’t get what he just said but you can leave its flavour to me!!
Ichiro: Thanks, you two! Then, why don’t you go ahead and give it a taste?
Jiro & Saburo: Absolutely! *eats*
Jiro & Saburo: Mmm??
Jiro: This isn’t the flavour of our usual curry…! Did he really forget the most important part…??
Saburo: It’s greasy and tastes terrible…! I don’t want to say something Ichi-nii made is unpleasant but…!!
Ichiro: So how is it??
Jiro: I-I’ve never had anything like it before…
Saburo: W-what did you put in it?
Ichiro: *starts bringing out ingredients* So for the roux, I decided not to use anything you can buy from the store and made a completely original spice blend! I also used domestic A5 graded black beef and fatty mackerel!
Jiro: Yeah…?
Saburo: I see…
*phone rings*
Ichiro: Sorry, I gotta take this, it’s a work call. …Hello, how may I help you?
Jiro: *downs a glass of water* Hey Saburo, what did Nii-chan do to this curry??
Saburo: How am I supposed to know?? I can only assume he was so focused on beating the competition, failed to give it any rational thought.
Jiro: Damn it…! Even though Nii-chan’s usual curry is already the most delicious…!
Saburo: My thoughts exactly! He didn’t need to use these fancy ingredients, Ichi-nii’s curry is already exquisite…!
Jiro: We gotta bring Nii-chan back to his senses!
Saburo: As loathe as I am to work hand in hand with incompetence, there’s no other way…!
Ichiro: Sorry, guys, I’m back! So, what should I add to improve the curry?
Jiro & Saburo: *nods at each other*
Jiro: Aniki, I’ll give it to you straight. No matter what you add, this ain’t gonna be our curry!
Ichiro: What??
Jiro: I get where you’re coming from, but you shouldered this by yourself without even talking to us… Isn’t that messed up?
Saburo: I feel similarly to Jiro. If we’re going up against the other divisions, shouldn’t our bonds as brothers shine through?
Ichiro: Our bonds as brothers…?
Jiro & Saburo: And so, we should use our usual curry!
Ichiro: But, if we use our usual curry, wouldn’t you be able to tell the roux uses store bought curry and ingredients that were on sale? If we want to beat the others, then—
Jiro: But that’s what makes it our curry!
Saburo: Just like with our rap as the Buster Bros!!!, there wouldn’t be any point to winning if it’s not who we are!
Ichiro: You guys… *eats the curry* …Yeah, you’re right, this isn’t our curry. I understand what you mean!
Jiro & Saburo: …!!
Ichiro: Okay, let’s head out to the store to buy the stuff we usually use in our curry!
Jiro: Yeah! Once we hit up the shopping district, I’ll find the best bargain after a few rounds around the shops!
Saburo: According to my research, the type of roux that’s favoured across multiple age generations would be one that’s a bit sweet and hits the medium range in spiciness!
Ichiro: Thanks! I’m counting on you guys!
Saburo: Oh, there’s one more thing…
Jiro: What? We’re about to head out.
Saburo: No, it’s just, since we’re going to have to sell it, doesn’t that mean we need to come up with a name for our curry? I think the usual naming conventions revolve around the main ingredients used in the product.
Jiro: We got vegetables, fish, meat… If we go off of that, we’ve just got a variety curry.
Ichiro: We don’t even have to worry about that! No matter the ingredients, this is the “Yamada Family’s Special Curry”! And with it, the three of us will beat all the rest!!

I’m so normal about hunger games!au jjk. I promise I’m not screaming and crying and frothing at the mouth at the thought of Gojo being Yuuta’s mentor 🥺😭
GODDDDDDDDDDD i love being and feeling so normal about this au! i don't get weird about it at all!
THAT WOULD HURT ME SO BAD... i couldn't imagine a universe where yuuta volunteers though so let's go by movie logic for a moment... yuuta is reaped and gojo is MORTIFIED. gojo's a volunteer from his district, but district four isn't always careers. some years they have a few volunteers, but others, children get reaped and taken to the arena afraid and unprepared. yuuta happened to be unlucky that way.
and the fucked up thing is that capitol supporters in the district are happy for yuuta. there's a weird mix in district 4 of capitol support and distain. it's a semi-career district and loyalty for the capitol runs fairly deep. people celebrate when yuuta is reaped because... well.. gojo took him under his wing. what an honor to get to be mentee to gojo with such a connection!
the dread that fills satoru when he realizes that he may not be able to save yuuta, as capable as he is, and that even if yuuta wins he will endure the same that satoru has. it's dreadful and satoru does all he can to prepare yuuta for the arena.
the problem with yuuta is that he can be hesitant to kill people whom he deems as "good". being from a poorer area in the district, the games are torture rather than something to triumph. satoru worries how it will change him. what will it break in yuuta? or worse yet, will he do all he can to save him, only for him to die anyway?
and when yuuta comes out of the arena, something is changed. he's twisted. a little darker, with more proclivity to do what needs to be done rather than what should be. and satoru mourns a death that never happens, doing all he can to mend whatever damage has been done. but yuuta will take his place as mentor. he'll never be able to outrun it or his time in the games.
and i think satoru's attitude towards those who are younger than him who go into the arena is SO similar to canon jjk. satoru wants to bear the burden so they don't have to. it makes him angry that the young people are forced to endure what he has. it makes him vengeful. because at the end of the day, satoru was naive when he volunteered and knowing what he knows now, it's torture to send other eager (or not so eager) children into the arena. let alone yuuta, someone he's known since they were a child. because they're children.
GOD.
