Headcanon time: Mama Yamada
Mama Yamada was a known punk delinquent when she was in school and she would literally kick everyoneās asses and still be #1 student. Rei was a such a sore loser who always got #2 place because of her and was such a weep.
At some point she found out that some one from Reiās friend group is scamming a student and got angry when she saw it.
So she went and picked up a fight with Reiās mate, the dude lost obv and started to plan his revenge and somehow catches feelings for her.
Mama Yamada (I call her Doremi as in äøćäø) just goes about her days, you know fighting, studying and making fun of Reiās nerdyness and even hanging out with him sometime bc she is bored and also to get blackmail material of weep Rei.
Reiās mate (the dude) gets angry when he sees Rei catching the attention of Mama yamada and tries to stop them from falling for each other by spreading false rumours about Rei. Doremi just laughs at the rumours because she finds the fact that Rei is getting way too worked out about them funny but still goes to the dude and threaten to cut his tongue if he doesnāt stop.
Rei sees her threatening his (ex) mate and feels his heart skip a beat and begins to avoid Doremi who gets confused and angry at his actions. Eventually Doremi has had enough of him and pushes this 179 cm guy into the wall and Kabedon him with all her 164 cm height and demands an explanation.
Rei gets all shy and stuff and tries to run away from his crush who in the heat of the moment flinged her school bag in his way and hit the back of his head which then caused him to fall down the stairs from the hard impact.
Doremi has the guts to walk on him in an attempt to check if he was ok.
Rei then decides to confess and gets turned down every time for whole 5 years until their high school graduation day where he goes and says that he will follow her to the end of earth if it will make her fall for him and Doremi laughs at him and tells him that his wish came true a long time ago when he was ranting about Dragon Ball and how he wants to create mics that gives everyone super sayan powers.
They get married soon after and have Ichiro three years later, Ichiro is named äøé as a joke made by Doremi who says that Rei means ä¾zero and her name has äøćäø so as a joke lets call our son ichi äø so that we can be Rei, Ichi and Doremi like 0,1,123.
The naming gig sticks long enough for Saburo to be named äøé as in 3 and they finally become 0,1,2,3 and 123.
Since we donāt know when the war actually started and when Rei joined the military
Iām just gonna guess sometime after Saburo was born and because of that the Yamada family started to rarely see Rei who is getting more tainted by the horrors he sees and is getting colder to his family and was actually going to walk out on them the next time he visits.
And so the last time he meets them, Doremi is about to tell him they were going to have a baby girl who will be called a name that starts with å as in number 4 when some attack happen and Doremi tries to shield her kids in fear with her body while Rei shields Ichiro.
When everything gets calm some peopel barges into their house and starts shooting, Doremi pushes her kids under the table and pulls Ichiro to take cover with his brothers too.
Rei gets his gun out and shields Doremi who is asking for an explanation worriedly, Rei just pushes her behind the sofa and tells her to shut it and how he doesnāt need to explain himself to a woman like her, Doremi gets angry and stands up and a bullet goes through her, killing her instantly.
Ichiro sees this and screams for his mother and gets out of his cover and forgets to not pull his siblings with him, Saburo gets a gash on his right shoulder while Jiroās on his left.
Rei seems to have stopped working (Rei.exe) and gets his mic and blows everyone away, when he turns to his sons he sees them crying while Ichiro is holding them defensively and is looking angry and hateful at him, Rei laughs at his son and tells him to stop being emotional as this is how life is and how sooner or later she was going to die in a sorry attempt to conceal his mourning and walks out on them.
If you made it this far congratulations, welcome to the hell hole that is called my brain, feel free to add more + this is a part of the rough idea for the Rei fic Iām writing

Maou-jou 1 | Munou na Nana 1 | Grace of the Gods 1 | IWGP 1 | Akudama 1 | Crusade 1 | JJK 1 | HypMic 2 (also brief thoughts on the dog and cat TV short because I had them)
Maou-jou 1
I sampled this manga with whatās called a āViz samplerā. I only ever seem to find those at libraries, so Iād assume only they and bookstores can get those.
ā¦Twilight looks like Maou Sadao (Hataraku Maou-sama!).
āDawnerā??? I can read katakana, ya idjits. His name is Akatsuki. Update: The translator mustāve gone, āDawn is a girlās name. Letās tack on an -er so it looks like a guyās name.ā
Aw, Hiro Shimono is Akatsuki. If it were Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, we couldāve gotten a Kirito joke out of it.
Oh! åæ«ē (Kaimin) = good rest, literally āhappy sleepā. Hence this is the nation of Goodreste. I see.
The lightning effect is soooooooooo cool! *eyes glitter at the particle effects*
Iām gonna die from cuteness from all the teddies and seals!
The little fanfare is so cute and the yokudekimashita reminds me of my days playing the arcade game Bomberman (which had a flower sticker much like this one). I wanna see this get a dub and succeed on all its merits! Itās basically my baby alreadyā¦bar the fact it took a bit to work up to the first good bit of comedy.
The teddy demons are called Debiakuma, a pun on kuma (bear), devil andĀ akuma (devil). Lesseeā¦After ālesser demonā, thereās more textā¦āFluffy bears that can be also used as pets. They give in easily to temptation. A lot of them live in the demon castle, so the princess likes to gather their fur, dye it and spin nice cotton out of it. Warning: A lot of them will either run away or call you their friend./Occasionally act as friends for the princess.ā
LOL, I recognised that voice of the Scissors guy straight awayā¦although I didnāt know who it belonged to. Thatās Suwabe. (It doesnāt sound like Suwabe, I wouldāve thought it to be Takuma Terashima or something.)
Aw, the Japanese version is more boring this time. Itās just Scissor Magician (in the singular for both).
*hears Scissors Demon going -ageruwaā, which is a feminine sentence endingā¦thatās Suwabe trying to (voice) act effeminate???!!!
These trumpet sounds never get old.
LOL, Siberian huskies dressed as Russiansā¦
Okay, my turn again: Hari means needle, toge means thorn. Next to āHis stomach is softā, part of the subs are cut off due to Funimationās hardsubs, but I can read āhe is proud of his defenceā on the 2nd line, āis the type to not refuse when relied onā on the 2nd-last line and āhis favourite food is strange bird chawanmushiā on the last line.
I love how parts of the castle are upside down for no reason at all except to look coolā¦architects must hate that, though.
I hadnāt heard of āseesaw battlesā until now. but the metaphor does make sense...kind of.
What about changing the mattress? Update: She does do thatā¦kind of.
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Kirito was under my nose all along! Damn Demon Kinggggggggggggggggggg!
Kamina glasses on one of the background trees! Cute tapir! Ahhhhhhhh, itās so cuteeeeeeee!
Anyways, thatās a fun show. Not as fun as HypMic, but still fun after it gains momentum.
Munou na Nana 1
I remember seeing spoilers for a twist at the endā¦letās hope I donāt anticipate it. That would kill the entire anime for me.
The message actually says something about how the island is a nest for enemies of humanity.
Thereās the ice narcissist I saw in the promo stuff, right on cue. Iāve never heard of his voice actor Hiromichi Tezuka before, although he does sound like Hiroshi Kamiya or someone much better.
Why do I get the feeling once the title character arrives, even Nanao will get powersā¦? Or maybe Nana is the catalyst for Nanaoās powers awakening or something? (Just realised having a Nana and a Nanao together in the same anime is confusingā¦)
Subbers spelt ānoblesse obligeā wrong, unless it was deliberately done as such.
I predicted the āduke it outā line.
Thereās a menu on the wall of the restaurant.
Maybe Nanaoās ātalentā is his leadership stat or something?
Or maybe even Nanao is an enemy of humanity and doesnāt know it? (Sorry, speculation going into overdriveā¦that usually happens with superpower works like this for me, because I like to analyse them.)
Maybe Nanao can see the future, like the protag from Koi to Producer?
Technically, shouldnāt ice be weak against fireā¦? Or am I too used to the Pokemon system?
Called it! Nanao has a hidden power! (That reminds me: I still donāt know what Lucienās (from Koi to Producerās) power really is.)
Vigilantes is really good at exploring how people can expand on their own powers.
ā¦wow, I heard rumours that the main character was going to die, but Iād pegged Nana to die, not Nanao.
Onodera is clearly importantā¦maybe he was the one with the wind powers? Or was Nana lying about that?
ā¦dude, the red eyes are kinda obvious that Nana is evil in some way, or at least really devious.
Grace of the Gods 1
All I really know of this is that itās got slimes and itās an isekai/SoL hybridā¦Thatās it.
ā¦I am not, I repeat NOT, on board for a harem centred around an 11 year old!
Ryoma speaks with an unnatural amount of starts and stops, hence the caveman speak.
Whatās Jilās role in the partyā¦?
Why would you even need to know 4 high-level skills? Isnāt it better to know all of them?
LOL, I knew the isekaid guy was meant to have a hard life so he could start over with slimes, butā¦stick Doppo in this and itās basically the same thing. At least Doppo tries to resist his bosses behind their backs, this guy just did the whole gaman thing and look where that got him!
If he worked for a black company with no overtime and so forth, how did he know about a recent anime trend, eh??? Sounds suspect. Update: Unless he was thinking about 90s isekai, which still involved less reincarnation than this.
I noticed the gods have senbei (the rice crackers with the seaweed). Western-looking gods probably shouldnāt have senbei, unlessā¦they did that to make Ryoma feel more at home?
Seriously, how does a guy with no overtime still have time for online games? Even if he were getting just ads for them, he probably wouldnāt have paid enough attention to be able to figure out what the cliches are, right? Either that, or the Dragon Quest system is older than I think it is.
Slimes donāt have pawsā¦or hands or other appendagesā¦to giveā¦
ā¦Iām not sure what to think there. Am I meant to think the slimes are cute? Am I meant to think the catgirls/animal girls are cute? The answer to those questions is ānoā, soā¦eh.
IWGP 1
Basically, I chose this for associations with HypMic.
ā¦the best first impression involves a CGI car. Of course. <- (sarcastic)
Given HypMic, I almost expected a rap battleā¦nahhhhā¦Rap battles donāt look so cool outside HypMic, man.
The owl is a pun. Fukurou (owl) matches ābukuro (bag, which is the 2nd character in āIkebukuroā). Thereās also an owl statue used as a meeting spot, much like Hachiko in Shibuyaā¦(I learnt a bunch of things about the division territory through HypMic. Let me show offā¦)
I think the character designer for this anime also did Joker Gameā¦thatās throwing me off a little. Also, they had a prime opportunity to use a Buster Bros song, so Iām still a bit miffed about that ā this OPās kinda standard. Update: The character designer is Junichiro Taniguchi ā my insinct was wrong on him. He did Touken Ranbu Hanamaruās character designs.
āSmoking killsā ā Yuuuuuuuup. Thatās true.
Why do I get the feeling all the male otaku will wanna bang Makotoās mother (to put it lightly)ā¦?
Curiously, the one who hates drugs in HypMic is Jyuto, whoās not from Ikebukuro Division at all. Hmmā¦
Yokoyamaās voice sounds familiarā¦but Iām not sure why. Update: If I had to guess, Iād say heās Saito Soma or someone who sounds similar, so maybe Takuma Terashima, Daisuke Ono or something like that. Update 2: Takahiro Sakurai. See? I knew I knew that voice.
āBig Reiā (āRei-niiā). Thatās different from Ichi-nii (what Saburo calls Ichiro) and could also be goroawase for 02.
Uni of Tokyo is the most prestigious uni in Japan. It has quite the reputation.
ā¦is it just me, or does Makoto have a piercing in his left ear? IWGP also happens to happily work with my existing character, although said character has a piercing in his right ear.
Zero One kinda looks like Uta (Tokyo Ghoul), LOL.
ā¦and of course the girl has to rely on the dude. *sigh* Welp, we can throw drugs off the list for āthings that count as TV-MA to Funimationā ā IWGP is rated M (not 15+ explicitly, but thatās what it stands for normally) in my region.
This ED songā¦thatās the sort of song I was expecting from HypMic, Akudama or this.
Seems both Makoto and Takashi have earringsā¦maybe in both ears? Takashiās are yellow, I could confirm that much.
ā¦this is decent, but putting it up against its competitors is a bit harsh.
Crusade 1 (cont. from sneak peekĀ - itās in the title here because this is where itās completed)
Turns out that preview was most of the episodeā¦like ā14 of 24 minutesā long.
Wait, how did Alice fall forward and end up in the princess carry pose? I remember having trouble with that when a character in a story of mine had the same problem.
ā¦Iska-niiā¦(?)
That opera house looks pretty darn modern to meā¦
ā¦ehā¦that was middling. Nothing any olā adaption of Romeo and Juliet couldnāt do, bar the CGI for the magic fight in the middle. (There was a fluffy griffin thing in the middle there, though.)
Akudama 1
Ume + Kimura and a cool urban aesthetic. Letās go!
This is kinda Tron-like, eh?
Ooh, now itās more like Cop Craft.
Kimura seems to use his gruffer voice more than his Ichiro voice, but Ume is actually worse on that fron with his ordinary voiceā¦Welp, at least his ordinary voice sounds like it fits right in with the Courier. I almost expect an Oceanās Eleven thing (or Now You See Me, since Iāve actually watched that) from this. Update: Turns out Kimura is the pompadour guy, not the fighter.
You can tell Ordinary Person is an okay person because she keeps saving cats. A bit clichĆ©, but itāll do.
Ohhhhhhā¦I can see where this plotline is going. Ordinary Person pretends to be Swindler to get herself out of this mess, but then she keeps getting involved with the Akudama. Itās a typical plot for a typical gal, common to insert a viewpoint character in series that require one, or a magical girl ally.
Wow, those missiles look like a**.
LOL, Hoodlumās sentence is kinda measly in comparison to most of them. Plus, when he yelled, that sounded more accurate to Ichiro than Fighter was, soā¦yeah, sorry I messed up.
ā¦Ordinary Person has some real bullseyeā¦uh, eyes.
This could be a top contenderā¦aside from the CGI, which does look a bit funky. Iām getting a death game vibe here, but I donāt know if thatās really the case. Also, itās a lot of fun, but the possible intolerable thing here is Ordinary Personās screaming ā the pretense she has to keep up seems like itāll fit right in though.
JJK 1
I read the manga once, dropped it and then read it again and didnāt realise why I dropped it.
Fushiguro has long eyelashes, tbh. Itadori comments on that at one point, I think.
Oh, it was a fish (carp) in the manga. I couldnāt figure out what the Japanese equivalent was just from the Kokkuri board.
This track club teacher is a bit of a freak, honestly. Meddling in kidsā affairs is probably illegal to some extent.
Itadori is known as ātigerā because the kanji for ātigerā is in the surname. Update: Also, the Czech dude Mirko was called āthe Croatian tigerā, if a tweet I read is any indication.
I like how thereās more comedy in this one. They show the world records, so you have standards to compare Itadori against.
This is an almost beat-for-beat adaption, bar the slight comedy of the records being added (and not explaning who Mirko is). The contrast makes this better.
āPeople really can die.ā ā Thatās summoning some real energy of āPeople die when they are killed.ā
(Brief thoughts on the dog and cat short: I enjoyed that more than I thought I would. The picture of a realistic cat ā someoneās actual photo of their cat?- that serves as a punchline never gets old and in fact, sometimes contributes to the humour.)
HypMic 2
LOL, TV-MA warning strikes again.
āKore wa prologue/Hajimete no ippo/Fumidasanai yatsu ni wa/???? shinpo.ā ā The translation is really good for the bits I can readā¦the problem is I canāt read the bottom left corner. Update: The part in the bottom left is nai...Thatās it.
ā¦uh, even people from around the world can read 24 hour time??? You donāt need subs to read Arabic numerals???
ā¦couldnāt you have just told Ichiro verbally, Saburoā¦? Update: Come to think of it, kids these days are more on their phones than ever, so it makes sense but also kind of doesnāt.
You donāt really need subs for laughter eitherā¦
Iād never heard of āpulling rankā beforeā¦hmm: āto use one's high position in a society, organization, group, etc., to order someone to do something or to get special treatment or privileges.ā
ā¦and here comes the F word here to mess with us again. Japanese nastiness is conveyed using words that might be considered āsoftā in English, hence the sudden jump to use the F word a bunch, but the subbers could use some variety in their swearing. I mean, ādips**tā worked where it did because subbers made Samatoki go overboard with the F word, butā¦you could stand to use that more, maybe(?)
I like how even the Tenderloins guy rhymes where heās meant to. Itās the prelude to a battle, after all. (He kinda looks like Kotaro from Zombieland Saga.)
ā¦I freaked out for a second. I swore I saw a similar-looking restaurant (udon shop, located on the left of one of the shots) while in Japan. Also, we finally get to see Ichiroās reputation at work.
ā¦I still have no idea what a āsteeloā is after all this time, but I didnāt realise I was staring at a part of Ore ga Ichiro until I saw it in context. Also, it was kinda derpy ā but still really in character ā for Ichiro to run to his destination with his arms up like the Glico man in Osaka (except he had his head down).
I get a weird feeling the subbers may have used the wiki translation because Iām using it as a reference and the language seems oddly similar for the most partā¦
The kick Ichiro does seems like it references the OP.
Notice the location is Nishiguchi Kouenā¦the West Gate Park. *raises eyebrows at the IWGP anime*
ā¦oh! It occurred to me that the sign the BB do with their hands isā¦well, a lowercase B. (LOL, if you read my previous line funny, it rhymes.)
Gentaro doing the peace sign to his chestā¦that was random the first time, because it doesnāt seem in character, but then it does for Dice and possibly Ramuda, so Gentaro probably just chose to go along with it (āto add to his image as a rapper,ā maybeā¦?).
Oh, Saburo has airpods inā¦those arenāt good for blocking sound, are theyā¦?
Notice the owl on theā¦uh, cafĆ©(?)ā¦Ichiro goes to.
That one āholy shit!ā made me laugh like a madman. Where it came from, I donāt know, but it was so random I had to laugh at it.
This makes me wonderā¦if you use a mic thatās different to your personal mic, does it produce the same speakers? No oneās ever addressed that before (much like how no one questions if magical girls always need the same transformation device ā I wanted to make a plot on that someday, but I canāt seem to find a comprehensible way to pull it offā¦LOL, that reminds me, I even had a HypMic version of that featuring Samatoki at one point, but it probably makes even less sense than the standard one because it activates via physical contact. Itās notable ā in my head ā for Nemuās version of the āpowerā being āSamatoki canāt swear, no matter how hard he triesā).
Iām pretty sure that round thing wasnāt part of Ichiroās rings, ever. (ā¦Unless that was the head of his spoon or something.)
ā¦Microwave? (referring to the shot inside the hospital, which seems to be based off ARB)
The series normally transitions from BB -> MTC -> FP -> MTR, so it was interesting to see that shuffled up. Update: Thatās if it has to have an order, but notably ARB breaks this standard a lot by assigning colours to each solo and then arranging interactions based on not repeating those colours (aside from the Sky High Tower event). With 4 things there are 4! = 24 possible combinations and 6! = 720 possible combinations if you count DH and BAT, so as we move forward with those 2 divisions...prepare for more shuffling.
ā¦is Jiro gonna steal a ball? I thought it was just bikes anime characters stole. (LOL)
The mic changes the background, too, huh? Never expected that from more than the speakers.
ā¦and of course, s*** explodes and the day is saved once again....by the Buster Bros!!! (LOL, but also *sigh*)
Hmm, so this animeās real plotline probably involves this trio: Rex, Tom and Iris. Theyāre probably foreign in some way, judging by Tom and Rex. Maybe theyāre aligned with a foreign government or something? Update: If you look at the credits, their full names seem to be Tom Whisper Weathercock, Iris Innocent Traiter (sic) (LOL) andā¦Taroumaru Rexā¦? (romanisations confirmed for all katakana)
Sadamezuka was voiced by the ubiquitous Kenjiro Tsuda.
It seems Cola Bintarou (aka Subaru Kimura) was on the case again today. He wrote the new song for BB, called RUN THIS CITY, along with Gesshoku Kaigi.
Of course, Iām going to keep this anime on my list...Iām just a bit worried about myself going forward, because I realised my ego got a bit inflated trying to defend the series from haters. Iāve never had a series where Iāve been a fan from the beginning that wasnāt already a known quantity for a while (Muhyo and Rojiās, Furuba). With Boueibu, I was discovering things alongside other people (or even later in a lot of cases) since it was anime-original.
