Asking The Ghouls To Do Your Hair

Frostheim

Jin Kamurai

Jin… Doesn't know. Probably hands it off to Tohma- I'm just joking…UNLESS-. He's actually pretty caring of others so he might learn one or two different braids but that's it. He seems like he's probably good at putting your hair in a clip or a bun but nothing else.

Tohma Ishibashi

Tohma…..He would be good at it probably. If not, then surprise!!! He is now. He's used to taking care of Jin anyways, adding hairstyles or braiding to that list wouldn't be that bad.

Kaito Fuji

Kaito would absolutely love to do it but he would probably be bad at it. He's SCREAMING at the fact that he's touching your hair with your permission, extremely happy the entire time. Might be confused during the process but he's not complaining at all.

Lucas 'Luca' Errant

He doesn’t know but won't give up until he knows every hairstyle humanly possible. Every time he asks you with earnest eyes to let him practice again, and every hairstyle is more elaborate than the last. The process is always long and painful on your scalp, but the end result never disappoints!

Vagastrom

Alan Mido

Our young grandpa himbo. We all know he wouldn't know how and he would rather not accidentally hurt you in any way, even if you flinch at the slightest tug, he'll stop immediately.

Leo Kurosagi

Leo knows different hair styles, but doesn't know how to execute it. He knows what's trending and what looks good on a person. Little bastard wouldn't give the advice until you mess up though.

Shohei 'Sho' Haizono

He wouldn't know until he get comfortable with your hair and he'll pick up on it after awhile. The type to learn quickly. Alternatively, he does Leo's hair when Leo makes him do it, and he always does a good job. Very gentle.

He also strikes me as Leo's unwilling makeup artist and lighting/photoshoot assistant so you know that he has some sort of experience.

Jabberwock

Haru Sagara

He's the best person to ask if you want someone to brush your hair nicely (and quickly), since he's the one who grooms all the animals at Jabberwock. Can't do much else to your hair - maybe add a bow? Would still somehow injure himself in the process though.

Towa Otonashi

Surprisingly good at hair. Would probably also put flowers in it too while he's doing it. Sunny sunny day the entire time....may or may not eat the flowers while it's in your hair. He knows One (1) style and proceeds to make everyone he can get his hands on look like a fairy princess. There's no choice.

Ren Shiranami

Doesn't know. Doesn't WANT to know. Frankly, he is offended you asked him. He hasn't touched a comb in ages, his hair is short enough and it'll get messed up again anyway.

If anything, you would be combing his hair. But be warned, he will loudly complain whenever you get the comb caught on a tangle.

Sinostra

Taiga Hoshibami

Taiga….Nope. He will pull and tug on your hair. Forget anything about braiding or any hair styles, he'll fuck up your hair worse than you ever could. Taiga would rip your hair out or else cut the tangles out with scissors if you ever asked.

Romeo Lucci

He had strong opinions about your hair (and the rest of your look) from the start, so if you let him he'll give you a full makeover.

he'll know what your face shape needs and wash & style your hair nicely, then complain that your skin is crap and give you a facial and apply your makeup, then put you in a better outfit so that your shitty clothes don't ruin his hard work. Then make you work the casino floor because his services don't come for free and no he won't pay you. Do you have any idea how much the perfume you're wearing costs?

Ritsu Shinjo

Doesn't know. Could learn. Will he though? Probably not, it's nothing he needs to be a lawyer. If you insist, then he proceeds to over-gel your hair while you die inside. Later, he'll genuinely ask why you haven't asked him a second time.

Hotarubi

Subaru Kagami

Subaru would say he doesn’t know anything about hair but if you insist then maybe he'll just brush it out for you, but secretly he probably knows all of the theatre hairstyles for kabuki. He prefers leaving your hair loose though.

Haku Kusanagi

He can, and is ridiculously smooth at it too. No head pain, can tell if you've got a sensitive scalp, knows all of the staple styles - ponytail, bun, braid. It's strangely therapeutic to get your hair done by him, like spending time with a big sibling.

Zenji Kotodama

Zenji would make some rendition of maiko and geisha hairstyles but with his own spin on it, but it will take hours and your scalp will be screaming at you and he won't shut up all through the process. He would spout off poetry while at it. Might sing too. If you don't like his voice, too bad he's doing it every time he does your hair if he gets the chance.

Mortkranken

Yuri Isami

He insists that he, a genius doctor, is adept at everything that requires dexterity, but he refuses to spend his incredibly precious time braiding your hair. Suggest he's not actually that good, and he'll change tune. He'll sit you down and plait your hair with perfect surgical precision (ha), then demand endless praise and fawning.

Jiro Kirisaki

Doesn’t know. Probably hasn't used a comb before. He could learn, but that's so much effort. Thinks it'd be easier for both of you if you just cut it all off.

Obscuary

Rui Mizuki

Rui won't touch your hair, because he's worried about his curse, but he'd notice right away when you change your hair. He'll happily compliment it, and might suggest hairstyles he'd love to see you wear in the future.

[danieyells]

So I don't wanna get in trouble for datamining but also I'm terrible for keeping things to myself so I'm gonna end up sharing some things anyway. For example, one that I remembered today that made me laugh.

Ritsu's 19 Affinity home screen dialogue:

"I just finished checking my recordings from today. You sighed a total of four times—

is something troubling you?"

And yeah we know he records everything and reviews it all at the end of the day(where does he find the time) but like

He is counting how many times you sigh in a day and checking on you if he deems it too many. That's kind of adorable and sweet in a borderline obsessive way. Like, he's giving accidental yandere behavior.

He probably doesn't know how to express himself in a non-professional way or dedicate himself to something or someone in a way that isn't a little obsessive since he's been studying to be a lawyer since he was young. Very little frame of reference for normal social behavior, the poor thing lol

[tokyo-debunker-memes]

Ritsu: We’re so in sync that we finish each other’s—

MC: sentences

Ritsu: Please don’t interrupt me

[random thought] ● yandere ritsu shinjo

ritsu shinjo brings his recorder everywhere he goes? my my... the things he can do with the recordings...

ritsu keeps a collection of your conversations with him. out of business hours, he will...

play those recordings over and over. ritsu may have a detailed profile about you, but he can always learn more.

ritsu fills his notes with your information, even the most trivial ones, like what you had for breakfast and why.

wait... trivial? for you maybe. for ritsu it's precious intel.

speaking of breakfast, if you enjoy sho haizono's cooking, ritsu will immediately inspect the man's food truck, looking for anything suspicious so ritsu can share his findings to you. hoping you will stop frequenting that place.

other than noting down your profile, ritsu can and will use clips of your voice as alarm(s).

unprofessional? y/n is his partner and any kind of information coming out of your mouth is important. it's very much work related.

if you mention how you like ritsu's passion for his work, his reliability, and/or how beautiful neat nice his handwriting is?

saved. replayed every night.

if anyone doesn't believe him that you said it? he has proof. he'll immediately play the recording. he remembers the date and time, even to the milliseconds.

ritsu may become addicted to your voice...

[yuri-is-online]

Ritsu I mean this with all due respect but if you bring that thing near me I'm getting a restraining order

[bamboozledbystander]

At this point, Ritsu should just change his name to Rizz.

Any guy who wishes to "form a cudgel" with me knows exactly what kind of relationship I want. Like, say less, babe.

Also, bonus Cornelius (my poor little meow-meow)

Since most people usually dont look at the imdb while they're watching a show and didn't know Keito was played by Daman Mills, I thought I'd share with you the other voice actors who play enstars characters in the English dub :)

Anzu is played by Felicia Angelle, who plays Frill in Wonder Egg Prority, this information keeps me up at night.

Arashi is played by Matt Shipman, i.e transfem Reki Kyan agenda (in the dub she is referred to with He/Him pronouns once by Ritsu and that hurts substantially)

Eichi is played by Aaron Dismuke, Tamaki Amajiki's va

Kaoru is played by Josh Grelle, who also plays Touma Shinjo and Ritsuka Uenoyama, and that leads me to:

Kanata, who is played by Brandon McInnis, who also plays Yuū Asuka and Mafuyu Sato, so.. Kaokana agenda

Tsukasa is played by Kyle Phillips, also known as Denki Kaminari

Mika is played by Bakugo's va, Clifford Chapin

Hokke is played by Adam Gibbs, the first names I recognised on his imdb is Natsuo Todoroki and Shingo from Stars Align so that's what ur getting oh shit and also Sugawara from hq apparently

Tsumugi's played by the Deku himself, Justin Briner

And finally:

Those are all the VAs I recognise

#MatarajinIsOverParty

If you’ve read this paper, you know that Matarajin got #cancelled after Reiku Kogen (霊空光謙) wrote a callout where he accused the genshi kimyodan (玄旨帰命壇) ritual of twisting the Tendai concept of hongaku into this dril tweet to justify problematic™ behaviors. Although Matarajin wasn’t mentioned, he was guilty by association, as the HSiFS interview makes clear:

Matarajin is said to belong to a particular Tendai sect, but I hear that during the middle ages a lot of Tendai and Shingon sects end up becoming obsessed with sexual rituals and wicked teachings, leading to their downfall.

Reiku’s callout never specifies sexual activity as one of the things justified by the genshi kimyodan, but this was implied by the ritual's preexisting association with sexual concepts. Importantly though, there was never any evidence that the ritual itself involved sex acts. But even the lack of hard evidence didn’t stop Reiku’s callout from convincing everyone that Matarajin = sex cult god.

The fact that literally everyone found one guy’s rant + some slightly dodgy literature enough to prove that a well-established Tendai tradition was actually just a pervfest is typical of medieval Japanese Buddhist cancel culture, which had already destroyed the reputation of another well-established esoteric Buddhist tradition in the exact same way a few centuries before. In fact, the genshi kimyodan’s alleged sexual nature was often attributed to the influence of this earlier victim, the Tachikawa-ryu (立川流) of the Shingon sect.

While Matarajin is at least no longer primarily characterized by the genshi kimyodan, the only thing the Tachikawa-ryu is known for to this day is sex rituals. Just check out its English wiki page, almost half of which is devoted to the lurid details of the infamous skull ritual. The Japanese page used to read similarly until just six months ago, when someone finally made a page for the real Tachikawa-ryu and renamed the old page with all the skull sex stuff to「彼の法」集団 i.e. The Group of “Those Teachings”.

What group? Which teachings? For that we have to go back to a monk named Shinjo (心定). In 1268 he wrote the 受法用心集 (precautions for receiving teachings), in which he criticized the popularization of “those teachings” among Shingon practitioners. These sex-based teachings, including the skull ritual, match everything attributed to the Tachikawa-ryu. 

Buuuut... Shinjo only ever mentions Tachikawa to say that he had copied down all their secret teachings in his earlier training and years later found some odd texts mixed in with a bag of Tachikawa texts. The odd texts, which he had never seen before, were “those teachings”: 内三部経菊蘭の口伝 (Three Inner Sutras and Kikuran Oral Tradition). As for their origins, Tachikawa-ryu expert Nobumi Iyanaga notes that their stated lineages are "totally aberrant; the dates of the listed monks are not consistent; their Shingon branch affiliations (Ono-ryu or Hirosawa-ryu) randomly distributed and utterly confused.”  This page further notes that Tachikawa founder Ninkan/Rennen (仁寛/蓮念) is not in these lineages, making it clear that “those teachings” weren’t from the Tachikawa-ryu.

Unfortunately, a 14th century Shingon monk named Yukai (宥快) wasn’t about to let pesky facts get in the way of his beef with and subsequent callout post against a predecessor named Monkan (文観). Yukai wanted his Hokyosho (宝鏡鈔) to do as much damage to Monkan’s posthumous reputation as possible, so he made sure to associate Monkan with the nastiest known Shingon practices. Conveniently for Yukai, in 1281 a monk named Ekai (恵海) had added an appendix to the 受法用心集 quoting an unnamed author who claimed that “those teachings” began with either Ninkan or Ninkan’s disciple. With just this one dubious receipt, Yukai nonetheless successfully convinced everyone of his callout’s sneaky implication that Monkan had revived the Tachikawa sex cult.

Meanwhile, Monkan was friends and colleagues with a Tendai monk named Enkan, who had been initiated into the genshi kimyodan ritual. You can probably guess the rest. Just as Yukai made the Tachikawa-ryu his sacrificial scapegoat in his beef against Monkan, so Reiku made the genshi kimyodan and Matarajin his sacrificial scapegoats in his beef against the 18th-century Tendai establishment, with no small help from Yukai’s precedent.

Matarajin is unlikely to ever be worshipped again, but if his reputation among Buddhists were to be rehabilitated, it would almost certainly first require the rehabilitation of the Tachikawa-ryu’s reputation, a task which has only just begun in the past few decades with Nobumi Iyanaga leading the charge.
