[18+] Uuultra C | Review/Plot dump

 I said I would play ADELTA's next game and I did immediately when it came out.

Uuultra C

creator: ADELTA

released in 2020

It's the 1970s and ferocious monsters lurk hidden amongst the population of Japan. Who else can protect the people when these beasts reveal their true forms besides the masked hero of justice, Ikaros!? Follow the adventures of 3 very different boys as they navigate life in Tokyo during these turbulent times.

First of all, check out the OP cuz it's cool

[Note, just dawned on mee that Ikaros is probably supposed to be spelled Icarus. Well it be what it be...I ain't fixing nothing]

☀General Synopsis☀

10 years ago, a mysterious monument appeared in Tokyo, and along with it, the spread of the vicious kaiju (monsters). Kaiju look just like any ordinary person, but are capable of transforming into menacing beasts capable of mass destruction. The only hero capable of putting down this threat is the masked hero, Ikaros, who has since become greatly beloved by the general population after his first appearance. Now people co-exist with the potential kaiju mixed amongst them, and the "hero siren" gets set off at any sign of a kaiju attack, alerting the hero Ikaros to come save the day. With this cycle becoming normalized, that means things are peaceful, right?

The game is a kinetic novel split into three chapters covering the same general span of time, but from the different perspectives of our three main bottoms protagonists: Kagome Shotaro, Chotsugai Shirou, and Sayashi Jyurou.

☀Main Characters☀

[Note 2: I'm not a pro or anything so the romanizations for names are probably all wrong lol. Whatever... it be what it be...]

Kagome Shotaro

Baby faced baby boy

A 24 year old young lad who works multiple part time jobs in order to support himself and his aspiring mangaka boyfriend, Akira. Shotaro has big dreams of becoming an actor himself one day, as Sayashi Jyurou is his idol, and Ikaros his hero. But what can he do when he has no talent? A very quiet, passive, and unassuming boy who lacks self-confidence. But even so, he can't help but continue chasing his dreams...

Kodzuka Akira

Akira being arrested

A 19 year old hoodlum mangaka. Don't let his looks fool you, he's as pure as fresh snow on the inside. Akira lives for his passionate love for Shotaro, and would do anything for him. Alas he is also a natural trouble maker and probably causes more problems than he intends to for his cute older lover. He loves mahjong and making mahjong references at the most inappropriate of moments, and is an extremely loving, albeit kind of useless guy. For some reason, he always disappears when the hero siren goes off... wonder why?

Chotsugai Shirou

Shirou 10 seconds before a disaster

Shirou is a very normal 27 year old photographer who definitely isn't shady in the least. He has barely any friends to speak of, and is one to hide his thoughts and feelings behind a mask. After his entire family was killed by a kaiju, he is now a huge Ikaros anti, as well as a huge kaiju hater. Overall he's judgmental and has the unfortunate trait of being a complete trouble magnet with a luck stat of 0.

Isshiki Suzu

I want him to say ara ara

A beautiful 27 year old kaiju who spends his free time playing the role of a white Ikaros. Isshiki is an onee-san type who likes to be called pretty and hates being called uncle. As Shirou's childhood first love, one could say they have an unbreakable bond tying them together. While currently engaging in questionable career choices, he's still primarily a kind, caring, and empathetic person.

Sayashi Jyurou

He's thinking about how he'd rather be with Yomi right about now

A famous actor from a prominent family, this 28 year old has his life all set for him! Extremely stoic and of the more quiet variety, Jyurou is the staple tall dark and handsome man of few words. While a harsh critic, he definitely has a reason to be as the star who plays Ikaros on national TV. While a cold guy, could it be that his cold exterior hides a softer interior? Maybe? Either way he suffers from an indescribable feeling of loneliness. Only one person can soothe this darkness in his heart, and that person isn't his fiance.

Hibarino Yomi

Yomi fanning the darkness in Jyurou's heart

Jyurou's childhood friend and obedient servant colleague sidekick right-hand man accompanying person. While looking to be about 24 years old, he seems wise beyond his years and mysterious as mysterious gets. His purpose in life seems to be attending to Jyurou's every need and keeping his life in check. No one knows why he wears a gakuran jacket. Overall, he's an amicable person who strictly uses polite speech even towards inanimate objects, and might be lacking in some common sense.

☀Review☀

STORY: B+|  Honestly the pacing in the latter half is rushed as hell, but I have to give props where they belong... the plot is quite unique and definitely stands out in the BL genre. I mean, gay kamen heroes? GAY KAIJU!? It's something. Anyways the story was quite engaging, though yeah way too much bullshit is stuffed in in the last leg. Overall I feel like too much happened and too little happened. I can't tell how I feel to be honest, but I do know that some parts were quite hard to understand.

CHARACTERS: A+|  I love the cast and I love the main boys. This game has quite a few prominent supporting characters who really help the immersion into the world and story, and the way everyone interacts... just... wonderful. The way the story's written as well, I won't go into it too much but you really get to see different sides of each character, which just shows off how fleshed out they all are.

DOKIS: A| The drama... the romance... Love is a real focal point in this game, and the love story really intertwines well with the overarching plotline. The romance between the 3 chapters are very very different, so how you'll like them will really vary... Most of my feelings are from 3rd chapter, honestly. While I don't recall actually doki-ing while reading the story, I did get infected with serious brain damage so that's basically the same thing.

ART: A| Remember how Hashihime had a crap ton of CGs? Well Ultra C has so many goddamn CGs that there is no CG gallery. There's too many. Through my mystic methods I've discovered that each of the 3 routes had over 500+ CGs each, though this includes variants. Anyways, the art is excellent, dynamic, stylish, and impactful, and since there's literally a CG for every single occasion, there's not a lot left to the imagination in this game. You really get to see every thing and every one.

MUSIC: B+| The OST is quite nice, and the style of music is really fitting with the theme and setting of the story. The aesthetic of this game is strong... extending even to the music and sfx. The ED songs are bangers too. I would like to purchase the OST when it is released... if they release digital... Anyways, for most of the game it really sounds like the same handful of tracks over and over again, but since they fit well the repetitiveness doesn't become a real problem. 

OVERALL SATISFACTION: A | I finished this game with an empty head. A head so full that it became empty. An internal implosion of thoughts and feelings. It was an experience like no other, and one that I will probably remember for a long time. It's always nice to have a plot focused BL, though I'd never say no to additional lovey dovey content. I have no regrets dropping all my life responsibilities to binge this game, though I pray desperately we'll get additional content in the future as some of the resolutions aren't as... resolving as I would like.

Definitely get this game if you can read, and if you can't, then pray to the mangagamer gods that they pick up this game! And maybe get it anyways for fun! Anyways, I'd love to have more people to talk to about this game, so if you play it, hit me up!!

I can't really say if I liked the game more or less than Hashihime... they both have their goods and bads, and they are both super iconic. In my opinion Hashihime was more engaging and intense (and had Kawase), but Uuultra C has ... Yomi. Ah, be still beating heart...

Also, fun facts: apparently some seiyuus from Hashihime also voice characters in Uuultra C.

PS. For those curious about how the sex scenes work, for the most part they're more tasteful(?) than explicit. They don't last long, and aren't numerous in number either... though some of the couples fuck a lot more than the others... The more you know! If you want to go in to see the characters going at it, then that's not really what you're gonna get since it's primarily a plot focused experience.

CONTENT WARNINGS

Be warned that if using context clues and critical thinking skills, content warnings are also spoilers

Here's some of the illegal things that happen in no particular order:

Attempted rape, rape, an adult having sexual relations with a minor, homophobia, transphobia, questionable depictions of gender non-conforming characters, heterosexuality, heteronormativity, interspecies sex, non-graphic depictions of super hero fantasy violence, dismemberment, murder.

I might be forgetting some things but I think these are the most blatant. 

SPOILER FILLED PLOT DUMP BEYOND THIS POINT

NOTE: I WAS COMPLETELY DERANGED WHILE WRITING THIS UP so it is obscenely detailed. Obscenely. I will actively try not to write a plot dump this detailed again because I feel it's a little unfair to the VN lol

☀Chapter One☀

text reads young sun

Young Shotaro is minding his own damn business doing paper delivery runs at the asscrack of dawn, pondering his place in life while doing all these menial part time jobs. Just a while ago, he attended an audition for a role in the Ikaros TV show, but was thoroughly roasted by the lead actor Sayashi Jyurou. He didn't even try to be delicate when telling Shotaro that he had no talent for this, and that he couldn't read the atomsphere. While replaying the traumatic experience in his head, a dying kaiju slams onto the pavement right in front of him. For a brief second, he witnesses what appears to be a white Ikaros standing on a lightpost... but isn't Ikaros supposed to be red?

Example of a dead kaiju

The sexy mysterious White Ikaros

Unlike the regular reaction to seeing a big fat kaiju corpse, Shotaro immediately feels pity for the poor bleeding beast. While prodding at the odd creature, the iconic Roboco walks up to him. Roboco is a local robot who has a big heart shaped button on him. Pressing it will immediately trigger the hero siren across the town. At Roboco's behest, Shotaro presses the button without further thought, immediately waking up the whole town since it's still the ass crack of dawn.

Roboco being himself

After getting berated by his boss for doing something so stupid, seeing as how the kaiju was already dead. Shotaro once again thinks about how he 'can't read the atmosphere', apparently. Shotaro's eccentric coworker, Hayata-kun, tries to cheer him up. Also a random child playing as a reporter tries to get Shotaro to talk about his kaiju sighting experience.

The kid and Hayata-kun(right) will be relevant

After all the hubbub, Shotaro heads home to his tiny apartment, greeting the landlady and his foreign neighbor Sally along the way. He then greets his beloved boyfriend, Akira, who he always calls Kodzuka-kun. Apparently Shotaro received a letter in regards to his acting audition, but he refuses to look at it since he knows it's just a rejection letter. Kodzuka-kun opens it for him, and reads out loud how he passed and should report to the studio on the designated day. While Shotaro thinks it must be a scam, Kodzuka-kun tells him they'll celebrate by hitting up a love hotel after work~ They head their separate ways, with Kodzuka-kun going who knows where, and Sho-chan going to his next job.

Kodzuka-kun congratulating his precious beloved Sho-chan

When evening comes, Shotaro gets stood up at the meeting spot. He heads home to see if Kodzuka's there, and instead gets met by the landlady who tells him that Kodzuka-kun has been arrested on suspicion of child kidnapping. Oh boy...

Being the anxious sort, Shotaro immediately panics and rushes to the police station, only to find Kodzuka happily playing mahjong with the cops... Okay. There's also a little 9 year old girl sitting there also??? Kodzuka claims that she's his little sister named Sakura. A sister that Shotaro has never met or heard about before. Kodzuka gives him a knowing look. A look that Shotaro frankly does not know what it's supposed to mean. Standing frozen from indecisiveness, a strange man then walks into the room... The man (who is Chotsugai Shirou btw) immediately uses his smooth talking to rush to the young couple's defense, and attempts to persuade the cops that Akira and Shotaro are probably her real legal guardians. Shotaro's touched by the effort, but the cops are kind of sick of everything, now with this weird eavesdropper walking in, so they decide to just arrest all of them

Akira stands to protect his wife and child boyfriend and "sister"

Before the arrests can be made, a kaiju conveniently attacks! Chotsugai tells Shotaro that it's the perfect opportunity to escape, so he vaguely attempts to do so. Sort of. Shotaro has never been the quickest on his feet. Kodzuka tells Shotaro to grab Sakura, and immediately charges at the kaiju to distract it. Scared that Kodzuka will get hurt, Shotaro immediately grabs the mahjong table to attack the beast. Not sure what happened around this point, but the kaiju is mysteriously defeated, exploding a gushing torrent of orange blood all over Shotaro. While stunned in the moment, he ingests some and feels like it tastes similar to orange juice. He is then taken in to be examined for kaiju-itis infection and allowed to take a shower. While there, Chotsugai introduces himself to Shotaro, telling him that mayhaps they will meet again sometime...

Sakura-chan turns out to be a big Ikaros fan

Upon going home, he tries to ask Akira about the whole deal with Sakura, and Akira just tells him that she's his "sister." From today on, they can live together like a family! Right. Shotaro really wants to trust and believe in his cute boyfriend, so he decides to roll with it for now. What reason would Kodzuka-kun have to lie to him? 

The next day at work, he conveniently gets news from his coworker Hayata-kun about a recent kaiju attack which apparently led to the death of an old grandma. And she apparently had a daughter who went missing. And Sakura seems to say "Mama..." sometimes. What could this all mean?

After work, Sho asks Sakura to tell him more about her relationship with Akira, and it becomes really obvious that she barely knows him. This really is a child kidnapping isn't it. Akira gets home and they get into an argument about it, where Akira confesses that he believes Sakura is the reincarnation of his deceased younger sister. ???? Shotaro doesn't want Akira to turn down the life of crime, so he grabs Sakura to take her back to the police. Along the way, they are met by a Miss Hibari from child protection services. She then takes Sakura into her custody after telling her that her mama is dead. Sakura is surprised, and calls Akira a LIAR!! He told her that he'd let her meet her mommy again... :'(

Miss Hibari who may or may not resemble another character in the cast

After the whole ordeal, Akira becomes quiet and sad, and apologizes for all the trouble he's caused. Sakura's gone now... it wasn't Akira's place to try to take her in! 

Sho-chan reminisces to how he first met his beloved and mysterious Kodzuka-kun. 1 year ago, he used to work as a cleaner in a building. One day while cleaning the rooftop, he fell off and almost died... Kodzuka, a budding mangaka at the time, dropped his manuscript to grab him as he fell. From there, it was love at first sight... somehow.

Next day at work, Shotaro is surprised to hear that he's been fired from his delivery job. Apparently his boss heard rumors about how he got covered in kaiju blood the other day, and they don't want to risk anything... Upset, he moves on to his next job, which he also gets fired from for the same reason. Rumors sure spread fast, don't they? Coincidentally enough, he bumps into Chotsugai while wandering the streets aimlessly. Conveniently, it seems his assistant had quit that morning, and he needed a replacement for a photoshoot he was hired to do, since he is a photographer after all! It would be SO great if Shotaro could help!!! With nothing else to do, Shotaro accepts the offer of this totally nice and not suspicious man.

Chotsugai using his 'i am not suspicious' wink attack

Upon arriving at the park where they will be taking a family photo of a young couple and their son, Shotaro's immediately met with a metaphorical slap in the face. The young father who approaches them immediately rushes up to Shotaro, calling him Sho-chan. Only Kodzuka-kun calls him Sho-chan... who could this be? Why it's time to meet Shotaro's first love from grade school, Koboyashi Akira!!! Wow, the same name as one Kodzuka Akira... funny how things work out, huh. Anyways, Sho-chan is VERY displeased to meet him, although he continues to play nice and polite, as is his nature. Koboyashi-kun has a loving wife, and his son is coincidentally the kid who tried interviewing Shotaro back at the beginning of the story. Apparently he's going through a rebellious phase, and is refusing to smile for the camera.

Ex Akira (which I will call him because he's Sho's ex...Akira) tells Sho-chan how a lot has happened since they separated... he met his lovely wife through a matchmaking program and has been working hard at living a heteronormative stereotypical 'successful' life. Sho-chan is not pleased at being asked how he's doing, since well you know... he's living a very broke gay lifestyle. Ex Akira also brings up the fun fact that he named his son after Shotaro. Taking the Sho character from his name to make the name Tadashi. Shotaro does a triple spit take, like eXCUSE ME??? YOU DID WHAT!? Ex Akira confesses that he knows he's not a great person. How Shotaro knows full well that he's not a great person. So he wanted his son to grow up to be kind... someone kind like Sho-chan. UMMMM.... that is... uhh well it's very... very heterosexual and normal of him to do that. Totally.

Sho-chan reminisces to how back in grade school, Ex Akira was a very righteous person who hated lies. They were very close, but one day, Sho-chan's lie was exposed, and ex Akira and his friends ended up ostracizing him and calling him a kaiju. Their relationship was permanently damaged. Ex Akira asks Sho-chan if he'd ever be willing to call him 'Akira-kun' again, but Sho-chan of course says no. He will remain Kobayashi-kun.

The hero siren rings out, and the two immediately notice that Kobayashi-kun's son Tadashi, as well as Chotsugai, are missing. They split up to search, and Shotaro finds Tadashi with Chotsugai, who are currently running from a grotesque pig kaiju. Shotaro and Chotsugai have a short disagreement since Sho wants to focus on escaping for their lives, while Chotsugai is more interested in using his photo equipment at this precarious moment.

I just love Chotsugai look how cute he is

Kobayashi finally shows up and tells Sho-chan to take Tadashi and run, and throws off his jacket to prepare to throwdown against the ugly beast. But luckily enough IKAROS COMES TO THE RESCUE WITH A SUPER IKAROS ICONIC KICK!! Tadashi loses his shit, since he absolutely loves Ikaros. A bizarre orange light shines from the pig kaiju, and its beastly strength replenishes itself as he strikes against Ikaros again. Either way it's to no avail, and Ikaros kicks its ass.

The hero of justice, Kamen Ikaros!!11

Ikaros uses his super cool Ikaros Punch

With everything resolved, Kobayashi tries to beat the shit out of Chotsugai for putting his son in danger, but Tadashi jumps to protect this uncle. Apparently Tadashi had followed Chotsugai of his own free will, and this nice uncle had helped him to escape. Kobayashi's fists recede... for now. This whole photoshoot was a bust since Chotsugai's photos he took are apparently busted now from the pig attack, so the customers are reasonably upset. Koboyashi leaves with his family. 

For the two left behind, Chotsugai thanks Shotaro for his assistance today. Shotaro asks why Chotsugai isn't afraid of him... since he'd been covered in kaiju blood. It'd be reasonable to at least be wary of him, who might have become infected. Chotsugai doesn't hesitate to tell him that it's no big deal, and how it was probably one of the officers that started recklessly spreading those rumors. Shotaro is a little skeptical that Chotsugai could truly be such a kind and trusting person, but part of him wants to believe... this is the guy who tried to help him and Kodzuka back at the police station after all...

Chotsugai drives him home, and upon getting out of the car they are immediately greeted by Hayata-kun and his girlfriend Fujiko. Hayata is bawling about how Shotaro was unjustly fired, and how apparently it was this weird guy named Chotsugai who had been spreading rumors to their boss. Hearing this, Shotaro glances at Chotsugai to ask for answers. All Chotsugai can say is "Uhhh I don't remember ever saying my name haha." He then rushes into his car and quickly makes a speedy escape. ................................ ...... Why would he do that? Either way, Shotaro decides to move on with his life.

Kodzuka-kun looking tense because he's hungry

He goes home and has a tender moment with Kodzuka-kun where they talk about their feelings. They talk about the thing with Sakura-chan, and Shotaro even ends up talking about his childhood with ex Akira... Of course Kodzuka-kun immediately guesses that ex-Akira was his first love, but Sho-chan claims it was just platonic best bro friends. Also apparently Shotaro's still upset about being potentially kaiju infected, and that's why he's been avoiding getting intimate recently... However Kodzuka-kun does not give a shit, and tells Sho-chan that he'd be happy to become a kaiju together with his beloved~ They proceed to fuck passionately all night. They usually try to keep their activities to love hotels since they have neighbors here, but since the mood was right, it couldn't be helped! The next morning, Kodzuka-kun is missing, as happens quite frequently. Today is the day of the studio recording, so Shotaro heads to the studio.

Funnily enough, the first person he bumps into there is...Chotsugai. Great. What the FUCK is he doing here. Chotsugai tells Shotaro that he didn't want to run into him again either, but that he's only here because he was hired to take behind the scenes footage. Sure he is... Shotaro is then greeted by the assistant director, Hibarino Yomi, who guides him to where he's supposed to be.

Every time I see Yomi I just start dropping marbles

Apparently while Shotaro is a godawful actor, everything about him did resonate perfectly for the role of a kaiju. He is then put in a kaiju costume and gets to get his ass handed to him on stage by the famous Sayashi Jyurou himself. Chotsugai also appears to take photos, and it's quite evident that he holds a bit of animosity towards Jyurou. Why though, Shotaro wouldn't have any clue now would he? A real kaiju then appears in the studio, and Shotaro ends up passing out... When he wakes up, Yomi is giving him a lap pillow (???) and everything has already been resolved. On the way home, he runs into Chotsugai again so they exchange some unpleasantries. 

Upon arriving home, Kobayashi-kun is on his doorstep. Apparently Chotsugai told him where Shotaro lived when asked. Thanks a lot, Chotsugai!! Being polite, Shotaro invites his ex into his home, and the two talk a bit about this and that. Apparently Kobayashi's main goal was to deliver a time capsule that was opened at their grade school reunion a while back (which Shotaro did not attend). Inside, Shotaro wrote how he wanted to become an actor... he really hasn't changed.  Kobayashi then recognizes the signs of cohabitation in the room, and insists that Shotaro tell him more about his girlfriend! So Shotaro talks... and even starts gushing about all the little things he loves about his lover, like his cute fangy...  At this moment, Kodzuka-kun returns home.

Current Akira vs. Ex Akira

The two immediately can't stand each other, and upon learning that this is the true identity of Sho-chan's lover, Kobayashi enters protective mode. Could it be this yakuza looking gangster is taking advantage of him!? Shotaro is surprised that ex Akira is apparently not homophobic, but either way he has to diffuse the situation and send the guy on his way. With the ex out of the way, Kodzuka-kun starts crying, feeling like his boyfriend is being stolen away by his first love... Shotaro cheers him up by babying him a bit and they then hit up a love hotel where they get all mushy gushy lovey dovey. That night, Shotaro takes note of how Kodzuka-kun's sun tattoo on his back reminds him of the sun mark on Ikaros's back. And how Kodzuka-kun keeps disappearing at night, and how he tends to vanish whenever the hero siren goes off. But clearly that must all be a coincidence, right?

The next day, on the way out they coincidentally run into Hayata-kun and their neighbor Sally in the elevator. Sally sprained her ankle outside, so Hayata thought to bring her to the closest hotel to rest. It's also revealed that Hayata and Kodzuka are friends. Since there was never a reason to talk about this before, all three are surprised that they all know each other. The hero siren starts ringing and the elevator stops moving, so Kodzuka cranks open the doors to dash out in order to get help. Suspicious, Shotaro ends up chasing after him. The kaiju attacks Shotaro, but luckily Kodzuka shows up to save the day by passing Shotaro a fire extinguisher. For whatever reason, apparently the fire extinguisher was enough to eliminate the kaiju. Somehow.

After the whole ordeal, Shotaro finds it in him to tell Hayata and Sally that he and Kodzuka are dating. Doki doki indeed.

The next day, Shotaro gets invited to a cafe with Kobayashi-kun, where he talks at great length about how he got himself turned into a kaiju in order to join a kaiju-rights organization called Orange so that he could end kaiju discrimination and create a better world for Shotaro. Apparently the whole thing that went down in their childhood, gave him... regrets about it, that ended up transforming into this peculiar obsession. Of course Shotaro is just like I'm not a kaiju though? And Kobayashi-kun's like... okay. Anyways come with me to Orange so I can show you how cool it is.

Orange is an extremely stereotypically evil looking super underground facility, and Kobayashi-kun shows off this giant mega robot being developed in their definitely not evil lab. For whatever reason, they find... Chotsugai there. Who tries to pretend he is not there. Kobayashi-kun then attempts to kill him for trespassing before the beautiful Isshiki steps out to stop him, insisting that he gave Chotsugai clearance. Isshiki is Kobayashi's superior, so he has no choice but to step down.

Chotsugai being moe as usual

Isshiki tells Chotsugai to leave with Shotaro, so he does that, and they take Chotsugai's car. For some reason he's using a rental car today. During the trip, Chotsugai reveals that Shotaro's father was a person of interest that Orange apparently was keeping track of. Shotaro doesn't know anything about this, nor does he really care, so the conversation doesn't go anywhere. On the drive back, Chotsugai ends up stopping the car and getting into a fight with some. Shotaro doesn't give a shit, so he hurries on home. At home, he walks in to find a naked Sakura sitting inside??? She tells him that she wanted to come here to say sorry one last time, before escaping through the window. Cops then come banging on the door, asking Shotaro if he's harboring a kaiju here. The cops have a strange orange eyed man with them who points out Shotaro as a kaiju, telling him that as a kaiju, he can see his orange kaiju eyes. Since all kaiju have orange eyes, and the only people who can see this are other kaiju! Shocking!!

Shotaro ends up getting interrogated, but he really doesn't know crap so... nothing really comes out of it. All he ends up learning is that Sakura is apparently the 'fire kaiju', and is very dangerous. Kodzuka comes and gets him out on bail, and he starts going off about how shitty Ikaros is. He then gets really sad about how he's the worst, and has only hurt Sho-chan and Sakura... Shotaro brings up looking for Sakura together, so they try for a few hours before Kodzuka-kun gives up. Shotaro's pissed and smacks him a few times, and they go their separate ways... Why is Kodzuka-kun being like this...?

Yomi using his iconic teleportation skills

Out of nowhere, Yomi appears behind Shotaro while wearing an Orange uniform, and offers some advice. He says that the outfit is just from a part time job, and proceeds to take it off and dump it in a nearby trashcan. Shotaro tries to leave multiple times, but Yomi insists on lending him an ear to talk about his problems. Eventually he drops that he may have some intel on Sakura's location, and leads him to a room with an elderly man who is clearly somewhat senile that rambles on for a very long time about absolute nonsense. Shotaro decides that this isn't going anywhere, and attempts to leave when Sayashi Jyurou enters the room. It's an awkward encounter. Apparently this senile man is the costume designer, and Jyurou has recieved a new black Ikaros costume to wear for a future season. Shotaro tells Jyurou that he'd like to keep auditioning for a hero's role, and Jyurou once again tells him that such a role isn't meant for him. Because he's a kaiju, and kaiju can't be heroes.

Jyurou being himself

Later that day, Shotaro heads to another acting audition he signed up for, where he meets a big titted friendly girl named Miyamoto Uran. She is super hyper and bubbly and talkative, and apparently will be auditioning in the same group as Shotaro.

Uran is a relevant character so you better remember her

She reveals during the audition that this entire thing is a big scam for people who just want actor titles and aren't actually serious about acting. Disappointed, Shotaro heads home, though Uran drags him to go eat dinner with her first. Funnily enough, the person she was planning to have dinner with was... Chotsugai. And so the two reunite once more, much to both parties chagrin. Apparently Uran is his assistant at his photography business(?) and she starts blabbing too much information to both sides. She tells Chotsugai how Shotaro is a huge Ikaros fan, and she tells Shotaro how Chotsugai is a mega virgin because he saved himself for his childhood first love, passed marriageable age, and then learning his first love was a man. Funny stuff. Shotaro really thinks it's none of his business...

Chotsugai then tries to do actual work, and apparently he'd taken photos of Sayashi Jyurou potentially doing that thing where you fuck people for job opportunities. Shady... Shotaro gets mad and tells Chotsugai he has no right to spread this kinda stuff, since it's not even for sure proof. Chotsugai tells him that he doesn't give a shit because he hates Jyurou. After Chotsugai leaves, Uran feels awkward so she insists that Shotaro get turnt to get over his bad day. It turns out he's an ultra light weight however, and Uran soon regrets her decisions. She calls his home (which connects to his landlady since she has the only phone in the apartment complex) in order to get someone to come pick him up.

Sho-chan's hissatsu waza, gao gao

And so comes, the handsome Akira-kun, who takes Sho-chan into his car. Yes, the Akira with a car. Ex Akira. Sho-chan, completely wasted, vaguely mistakes him for Kodzuka-kun and starts going gao gao. Apparently this is something he just does while drunk. His gao gao's are extremely effective on Kodzuka-kun, and also...apparently are effective on Kobayashi-kun as well. He starts wondering if Sho-chan always calling Current Akira Kodzuka-kun means... that a place for himself as 'Akira-kun' still resides in his heart... Sho-chan is too dead drunk to answer. Upon seeing love marks on Sho-chan's neck, Kobayashi-kun becomes absultely pissed. That confounded awful wild beastly accursed other Akira...

Sho waking up with no memories of last night

Sho-chan wakes up to find Kobayashi-kun had stayed the night in his home. Probably to protect him from Kodzuka-kun. Kodzuka-kun is evidently really pissed from the look of things. Kodzuka-kun and Kobayashi-kun get into an argument where Kobayashi basically just grills and roasts him, claiming that he's taking advantage of Sho-chan's kindness and that he's just a leeching mutt etc etc. After he leaves, the landlady tells Sho-chan that apparently Kobayashi had come to visit him last night, and that's why he was there when she got the call. And that apparently Sho-chan wouldn't let go of him, so that's why he stayed the night.... Hahahaha. Kodzuka is obviously upset with him, but mostly because he's sad that Sho-chan's secret ecchi ero ero gao gao drunk mode was shown to other people. Kodzuka is also upset because this other Akira... he knows different sides of Sho-chan that he never will... the childhood friend advantage...

The landlady talks with Sho-chan and ends up installing another phone in his room so that he can also have access to the apartment phone line. She apparently has troubles with answering calls, so it'd be helpful for him to share the phone burden. After a rather shitty day of this and that, he goes back home to see... the landlady and Roboco having a ... a moment? Ignoring that, he goes to his room when the phone rings. Kodzuka was trying to call the landlady to tell her he wants to move out, but alas, it's Sho-chan on the line! Oops! Apparently what Kobayashi said hit him hard, and he doesn't want to be a burden on Sho-chan. Sho-chan gets really pissed off and runs out to catch Kodzuka in the nearby phonebooth. They proceed to sort out their problems and fuck when they get home.

The landlady looking upon Roboco's departing back

The next day, Sho-chan runs into Chotsugai again randomly while doing a new part time job outside. Unlike usual, Chotsugai seems strangely serious. He tells Shotaro that he knows where Sakura is, and that Shotaro should come meet him at this theater if he wants to know more, handing him a ticket. He says in a serious tone that he doesn't want to see her corpse, and would rather if she could be saved. Shotaro doesn't trust him at all, but still keeps his words in mind. He wants to ask Kodzuka for advice, but he's not aroudn... He calls Kodzuka's workplace at the publishing company, since that's where Kodzuka said he'd be. Yet lo and behold, the editor tells Shotaro that Kodzuka's been on hiatus for a while now and has been generally awol. Shotaro's not even suprised that Kodzuka's still lying to him, but he's just upset that he can't reach him when he needs him. Desperate to know more about his lying boyfriend, he tries opening Kodzuka's manga tools trunk, and accidentally breaks the hinge. Inside are drawings of all sorts of fucked up shit... like dead people... dead kids... the like. Fucked up... Shotaro's so shocked he ends up going to meet up with Chotsugai after all.

While the two have a rather cold conversation about how it feels to find out that your lover is a liar, Chotsugai comes to the unfortunate realization that he's been had. This location is in fact the furthest place from where Sakura is, oops! Rushing outside, the city is in flames... so of course he takes Shotaro with him to where the fires are the worst. Because that's where the fire kaiju Sakura is! 

Shotaro runs headfirst into danger and finds Ikaros battling against White Ikaros. He manages to find Sakura, but Sakura tells him that she can't leave until she kills Ikaros. Shotaro gets caught up in the collateral damage and gets hospitalized in a full-body cast. Oops. While semi-unconscious, he can hear Kodzuka crying for him... asking why he was there... Shotaro thinks about how Kodzuka has a similar voice to Ikaros. A kind, nice voice... 

POV you can't move a muscle and your boyfriend thinks you're dying

For whatever reason, Sho-chan finds it a great time to have his life flash before his eyes. He remembers his mother who died giving birth to him (somehow), he remembers how his dad liked to pet his head and how this made him enjoy petting things as well... including weird things like this dead man he once found and started petting. This was probably how he got infected... In general Sho-chan's life was kind of ass. His dad ended up dying too while protecting him from a kaiju, and he was taken in by relatives. However they didn't deal with him much, and this resulted in him lying to his friends about having rich and loving parents to cope. This led to the whole thing where Kobayashi-kun found out he was lying blablabla drama blablalba. 

Anyways, he starts having a dream about becoming a bird and flying through the sky, and encountering a Black Ikaros. In front of him is also Red Ikaros who is trying to protect him. TL;DR, Sho-chan in his near death comatose state, ended up transforming into kaiju form and fluttering around randomly. Kodzuka-kun, who is Red Ikaros, is trying to stop Black Ikaros, who is Sayashi Jyurou, from killing him. Kodzuka ends up giving him a big wallop, and he returns to human form, only to then be kidnapped by White Ikaros. The last thing he sees before passing out again is Kodzuka reaching towards him... Sho-chan realizes that Kodzuka knew this entire time that he was a kaiju.

Fluffy fluffy kaiju, aka Shotaro's kaiju form

Upon waking up, White Ikaros, aka Isshiki Suzu, tries to ask him about Kodzuka, the Red Ikaros. Sho-chan tries to play dumb, so Isshiki threatens to kill him if he doesn't cooperate. Okay so Isshiki has this power to revive dead kaijus or whatever, and they mention that at some point he'd also saved Shotaro's life with this skill as well, but I can't for the life of me remember when exactly this was. Either way, Isshiki continues to threaten Shotaro before getting shot in the leg by Kobayashi-kun. Kobayashi-kun is willing to quit Orange if it's for Sho-chan's sake after all. He helps Sho-chan escape, and turns into kaiju form to fend off Isshiki's zombie kaiju minions. Kodzuka also appears, and tries to fight kaiju Kobayashi, but of course Shotaro protects him. In the end Kodzuka-kun sheds tears while telling Shotaro that this is goodbye. 

Kobayashi gets hospitalized, and his wife and child come rushing to see him. Kobayashi then gets alone time with Sho-chan, where he confesses that he's in love with him. All he wants... all he wants is for Sho-chan to call him Akira-kun. Just one time. Sho-chan drops a hard no, banishing him to the friendzone. His next play is to tell him that Kodzuka-kun would get jelly if he called Kobayashi-kun Akira-kun! Kobayashi-kun starts to tear up a little. Sho-chan then drops the final finisher. "Let's stay friends from now on." Kobayashi-kun completely breaks into tears. GG

Ex Akira and Sho-chan as babies

Shotaro goes home to find that Kodzuka's on the news, since he had removed his mask when being emotional at Sho-chan earlier. The news broadcasts everything they know about him, including how he's apparently not even Japanese. Who would've guessed? He also is infamous for drawing super dark and intense crime manga. Sally randomly shows up and gives Shotaro a volume of Kodzuka's manga, and he skims through it to discover that it's actually inspired by Kodzuka's real life. About how he and his baby sister were kidnapped as kids, and she was murdered in front of him etc etc. Kodzuka had told him before that he wasn't creative, so that he could only draw things that he'd seen. Grim dark.

Gay

Sho-chan runs out and finds Roboco, who suggests he use the hero siren to summon Kodzuka. He does just that, and reunites dramatically with Kodzuka-kun on the roof of a building, where they have another talk. Once again they get mushy gushy, and Sho-chan asks Kodzuka for his real name. Kodzuka asks him to call him Akira... since it's a name he came up with himself. Finally after all these years, Sho-chan says "Akira-kun." The Akira has been chosen. The True Akira.... Sho-chan's jealous that Kodzuka gets to be a real super hero, but whatever. 

Flashback fun time. Apparently when Sho-chan slipped off a building, it's because he was trying to get a bird nest out of the duct since it was precariously positioned. When Akira ran to save him... it was love at first sight. He fell in love... with a hero... hehe doki doki.

Anyways, when Sho-chan gets back home, he encounters Isshiki again. Isshiki came to fight Kodzuka, so they go out back and go at it. Sho-chan supports him by turning into birb mode I guess. Regardless, Isshiki beats the living shit out of them and tries to get them run over by a train before Black Ikaras aka Sayashi appears to save them. Sayashi takes them back to his place, and while Akira's still alive, various pieces of him have been stolen by Isshiki. Isshiki's kaiju skill is apparently to steal body parts, kind of like Law from One Piece. Akira is in no shape to fight, so Sho-chan ends up taking it upon himself to go face off against Isshiki in order to get Akira's body parts back. On the way out he encounters Taro, the mascot cat thing that apparently belongs to Jyurou, alongside Yomi. Yomi insists on escourting him, so they first go to pick up Akira's manga trunk which Sho-chan wanted to get for some reason. Yomi then tells Shotaro where Isshiki is, and while Shotaro finds it odd that Yomi would have this information, he decides not to question it. Turning into a birb, he flaps over there to death match against Isshiki.

Akira begging his bae not to leave him

Isshiki sexily holding Akira's body parts

He tells Isshiki that he'll become his minion if he gives back Akira's body parts. Isshiki then takes him to Orange's giant mega robot. Apparently Shotaro's dad used to work for Orange, and he was the head developer of the robot. However after dying, now no one can activate it. Isshiki gets Shotaro to activate it and then magically returns Akira's body parts as promised. Sho-chan then destroys the mega robo's controller. Isshiki is about to kill Shotaro when Kodzuka appears to save him! However, upon saving him, he drops dead. Isshiki never gave back Akira's stolen heart after all... oops! Everything goes to shit, and Shotaro decides that this is probably the end. In the distance of the stage, he can see Yomi smiling at them.

I love you bitch

Right before dying, a mystery kaiju swoops in and carries him out of the situation and far away to safety. The kaiju drops him by the mysterious monument (see the beginning of the story), where he is met by Roboco. Roboco tells him that Akira is still alive in a parallel universe, and that he can let Sho-chan reunite with him. Roboco also reveals to be Shotaro's father from the parallel universe. Apparently he's gone through a lot of trouble to protect Sho-chan. Dad says he has work to do and will stay behind in kaiju dimension, and that Sho-chan should escape to safety into the normal earth dimension. The difference between the parallel universes is that one has all the kaiju heroes bullshit, and the other one is just normal ass earth. A strange man supports Sho-chan while walking through the dimensional walkway (?? or whatever it is), and tells him how in the normal dimension, Sho-chan had died from suicide. That's why his dad could only come to find another him in the kaiju dimension... I guess. Apparently Yomi had appeared to him and told him about the parallel universe, for some reason, and made a deal with daddy to allow him to go there in exchange for building him the mega robot.

Sho-chan doesn't wanna run away on his own, so he decides he wants to go back to kaiju dimension. However Isshiki had followed him here, so they have another showdown. Blabla super battle, Kodzuka randomly appears to help kick ass also, Isshiki is finally cornered when Chotsugai randomly appears. Isshiki takes him 'hostage' kinda, though it's obvious Chotsugai's here of his own intent... Upon seeing how these two are clearly gay, Kodzuka undoes his transformation and accepts gay rights. Why fight when they clearly have boyfriends to go home to? Doesn't make sense. Everything seems right until the whole place collapses, crushing Chotsugai who probably died. 

5 seconds before everything goes to shit

Isshiki looks like he's hiding behind Shirou here... cute

Yomi reveals himself to be the super mastermind behind everything I guess, and he was also apparently a super alien from space. Apparently this entire thing was a scam to trick Sho-chan's dad into coming out of hiding because Yomi needs him to finish the goddamn robot. Apparently Yomi is sick of living on earth, and wants him to finish the spaceship robot so that he can leave. He kidnaps Sho-chan for some reason, and Akira is left with Isshiki who is depressed as fuck. Isshiki tells him how Yomi is also the leader of Orange. He's really the leader of everything isn't he. Isshiki and Akira team up to go find Yomi, but are stopped by Sayashi who has decided to defect the super heroes squad in order to protect Yomi. 

kyakya jyurou kakkoiii

Back to Shotaro, Yomi info dumps more about how he is an alien who started the whole kaiju heroes bullshit and that the spread of kaijus was just him turning people into his servants to make life easier for him. He mind controls daddy to keep working on the robot and does the same to Shotaro.

I don't know either

actual super hero battle

A lot of random ass bullshit happens with Akira and his fellow Ikaros (who turn out to be Hayata-kun and his girlfriend Fujiko) having had their power to transform stolen from them by Sayashi. They get help from the mascot cat Taro who has turned into a naked middle aged man, and proceed to infect themselves with kaiju-itis in order to gain power back since apparently super heroes and kaiju are basically the same thing anyways. There's an epic final battle where they save Sho-chan and fight against Jyurou and Yomi, and Sho-chan and Akira use a epic power of friendship super punch to punt Yomi into the atmosphere where he explodes. Yomi dies with a smile. The universe is saved. 

Power of friendship punch

Apparently since Yomi was the one who split the earth into two parallel universes to begin with, his explosion causes the universe to combine. Now they are in the original universe but have memories of the kaiju universe I guess?? 

Dad and Sho's new mom

In the new universe, apparently now the landlady is Sho's new mom. His dad hit it off with her while living life as Roboco. Great. Akira and Shotaro soon learn that the walls in this apartment are much thinner than they thought they were, so Akira buys a house as a surprise gift for him and Shotaro to move into. Apparently he quit making emo manga and now makes a decent income drawing hentai manga. The new landlady clearly has the hots for Akira, making Shotaro jealous, but either way Akira only has eyes for his cutie Sho-chan. Also the house was apparently piss cheap because the previous tenants were all murdered. Sho-chan doesn't care as long as he's with Akira, so they clean up the place together with the help of their friends and family, and then spend the night fucking like rabbits.

And they live gayly ever after

THE END!!!! God the last chunk is so painful. A shit ton happens... too much to digest. But it's finally over and time to move on to the superior couples.

☀Chapter Two☀

text reads crystal night

Once upon a time, a young Chotsugai Shirou participated in a film as a child actor. That film was Sayashi Jyurou's debut film, "Mother Bird" or something I didn't bother remembering to be honest. Anyways the point is, another child actor there was a beautiful young girl named Bell. She and Shirou shared a wonderful childhood romance together, and he even gave her his Mother's wedding ring, swearing that they'd get married themselves. (I think his mom was divorced or something so he probably nabbed it) But even to this day, Shirou will sometimes have nightmares about their final night together... when Bell held him, bleeding from the face as a kaiju wrecked through his childhood home.

Shirou clinging to his beloved Bell-chan

The date is a year before the main events of the story occur. Shirou works as a photographer, and Miyamoto Uran is his annoying assistant. Shirou has no friends and doesn't know anyone reliable besides her, so he has no choice but to employ her services even though she won't stop looking at him with a hungry, lurid gaze.

Their first job of the day is to take some photos at a downtown gay bar, where they're met by the bar's owner and self-proclaimed Papa. Shirou has a rather cishetnormative mindset, so he isn't very fond of the culture here, but does his job properly nonetheless. Apparently the bar papa actually hired him for a 2nd reason however... and asks him about his services as a detective. Apparently the previous tenant in his photography studio was a detective, so even though the sign was pealed off the window, the residue is still visible on dark days. While Shirou attempts to turn down the offer, the bar papa mentions he was planning to pay 70k for the job... Shirou is now a detective.

Apparently there was a letter left in the bar that said something along the lines of how someone named Bell fucked and infected the recipient with kaiju-itis, so this individual now wants revenge. The owner papa wants Shirou to track down the mystery kaiju named Bell and stop their infecting ways. Shirou next hits up another bar with Uran in order to track this Bell person's tracks, and encounter an exceptionally beautiful bartender.

Isshiki being extremely sexy just by standing there

After complaining at Uran about how much he doesn't like homos, Uran cheers and drinks to how Shirou is an adult virgin. Shirou then picks a fight with the bartender since he has eyeshadow, so is clearly also of the lgbt membership. After a rather unwoke exchange, the bartender calls Shirou by name and says that sleeping together once would change his perspective. It finally dawns on him that this guy... is Bell-chan...

God he is so sexy

Not knowing how to process this turn of events, Shirou decides to run away. Uran gets excited at the turn of events, since apparently she'd already dug out the whole story of Shirou's childhood from him, and tells him that she'll begin snooping into this sexy bartender immediately. Shirou is left feeling sick. Later on as he continues to do absolutely zero investigating whatsoever, Uran calls him with all the deets she's managed to collect. Learning more about the mysterious letter, she also had uncovered that this "Bell" they met at the bar is really named Isshiki Suzu. 

The next day, Shirou has an appointment taking family photos for a young couple and their two sons. However, the younger son cries and insists that he wants to wear a dress. The family and Shirou try to placate the child, but it takes a while. After the photoshoot, the father takes Shirou to the roof to talk to him, revealing that he actually came to him for a detective job. He drops his pants to reveal that his dick is gone. It was stolen... by a kaiju. Please find my dick, he pleads. Shirou attempts to reject, but once again foolishly agrees when he hears how much money the guy is willing to pay.

Shirou's "give me your money" face

After investigating briefly, he ends up getting led behind a shrine where he once again runs into the bar owner papa. The owner apparently received the intel on "Bell" from Uran... and also reveals to have been not only the dick stealer, but also the culprit who was turning people into kaiju. Apparently he used Bell's name in order to get info on whether Bell was still in town... Anyways, midway through attempting to kill Shirou and steal his dick, the White Ikaros (Isshiki) appears to save the day. 

When Shirou wakes up the next day, Isshiki is in his office. He apparently carried him home after the ordeal and has since become fast friends with Uran. Shirou drags Isshiki to the roof and tells him to get out of his life. Instead, Isshiki tells him how he's loved him all these years, and that he doesn't mind if it stays one-sided on his part. All he wants is for Shirou to stop wandering into trouble, and to at least call for someone when he needs help. Shirou is upset. His last words before leaving is "Be nice to girls!"

Flashing off his wedding ring like a real married man

Returning to the office, Uran gives Shirou his breakfast of shitty tasting miso soup. Apparently Isshiki advised her to add salt, which was a bad idea, and she claims that he must've done it out of jealousy since she told him she was in love with Shirou. Shirou does a spit take. Uran clarifies that it's less of wanting to sleep with him, and more that she wants to defile him. In fact, it turns out she was born with a dick, and so would love to [redacted] Shirou. Shirou decides to ignore these facts and move on with his life.

Almost everything he's done in life has been motivated by his hypothetical reunion with Bell-chan. Even becoming a photographer was so that he could take pictures of her.. That night he has a dream where Bell-chan really is a big busty boobied individual, but awakens to a cold and boobless reality. Feeling distraught about his place in life, and by the fact that Uran keeps calling him a pure virgin, Shirou makes the reckless decision to participate in an omiai party.

The now pronounced dead fantasy hallucination version of Bell

At the party, Shirou ends up running into an old clubmate from his college days, Suzukaze, who apparently has a habit of attending these meetings as a woman. After setting up a trap and tricking Shirou to leave with him, he basically kidnaps Shirou and takes him to an abandoned werehouse, where he ties him up and stabs him in the leg. Suzukaze is a kaiju, and his special skill is to change peoples' sex. Since he has no interest in men, he turns Shirou female in preparation to rape and kill him. Great. Also apparently female Shirou is flat.

Shirou being pettanko

He replays Isshiki's advice to him in his head, and curses him... He'll be mean to girls all he wants, and he'll run into as much trouble as he wants fuck all y'all. He continues to struggle silently against the kaiju, and decides to get out of the situation by stabbing himself in the gut. Smart! Isshiki suddenly arrives and immediately kills the kaiju, then rushing to Shirou's dying side. Shirou' cusses out Ikaros for once again not coming when needed, and then tells Isshiki with his dying breathe that he's glad his face wound has healed. Isshiki is too in love with Shirou to let him die, so he makes the difficult decision to turn him into a Kaiju in order to save his life. Through sex. Shirou does NOT take this well.

Isshiki swears that he'll protect Shirou forever, but alas, it doesn't help Shirou's mood at all. In fact, Shirou's so pissed that as soon as the infection takes effect, he turns into a kaiju and loses his shit. 

Shirou's kaiju form

A year passes and Shirou has now been living his life exactly the same as before, but now as a kaiju. Apparently his unique kaiju skill is that whenever a kaiju is in the area, he'll get a bad stomach ache. The only way to alleviate it is to determine where the kaiju is. So around this time is when he wanders to a police station to borrow the bathroom, then running into Shotaro and Akira. During the event when a kaiju attacks, Shirou uses his observation skills to acknowledge that it was highly likely that Shotaro didn't know he was a Kaiju. Putting two and two together, he then deduces that Shotaro's unique kaiju skill is probably the ability to not turn into a kaiju. Normally kaiju will transform when worked up in any way shape or form, but Shotaro... does not. It kind of explains why he's gone so long without ever transforming.

Upon getting home, he requests that Uran look into and dig up info on Shotaro. The next day, he gets called on another interesting request by one of the women from the omai party he visited last year. The woman apparently wants him to find the culprit who turned her daughter into a kaiju, and kill him. Shirou recalls being a photographer and not a hitman, but decides to humor the mother on her request anyways and discuss the topic further at a cafe. The daughter in question seems highly unstable, upset, reserved, and also begins conking her head on the table. Taking one look at Shirou, she asks him, "were you raped too?" Shirou is a little put off by the whole thing, but decides to give the girl his business card.

The kid in question

That night, the kid comes to visit to explain the case more. Apparently the girl is named Sapphire, and prefers to be a boy. He draws out a picture of the culprit, who according to him looked like a pig. Also, it turns out Sapphire's unique kaiju skill is that while he's making eye contact with someone, he can read their heart. Uran also stops by to hand over the info she dug up on Shotaro. After driving Sapphire home, Shirou decides that he'll just take Sapphire's case to the police, since it's really a bit out of his scope. He then uses the nearest phone booth to call Shotaro's workplaces in order to get him fired for fun. Unfortunately during his phonecall, Sapphire comes back to stare at him through the phonebooth window. At this time Shirou recalls that Sapphire can read hearts...

Shirou on the phone preparing to burn Sapphire's hand drawn pig with his lighter

The next day is the fateful day where Shirou goes and finds Shotaro in town, having expected that he'd now have time in his day to work for him. He's taken an interest in Shotaro after all... So the whole awkward family photoshoot incident happens at the park, and that's when Shirou gets a stomach ache and spots a very pig like man wandering around... What a coincidence, it's our culprit. He calls for a break and tries stalking towards the pig while still mulling over his best course of action, though Kobayashi-kun's son Tadashi ends up tagging along too. While observing the pig, he witnesses the pig drag a girl into the public restroom, and attempts to rush in to stop the crime. Conveniently, the White Ikaros appears to rescue the girl, telling Shirou to grab Tadashi and run. Instead of defeating the pig, Isshiki apparently didn't do anything besides rescuing the girl and then waiting for the Red Ikaros to come and finish the pig off... what could his intentions be?

After all that, we get to the scene where Hayata outs Shirou as the person who got Shotaro fired from his job. Shirou is absolutely positive he wouldn't make such an amateur mistake like leaving his name, so he calls Uran's primary workplace in order to demand answers. He's then directed by her coworker to her current location... a love hotel. He breaks in to question her, and apparently Uran was annoyed at Shirou for cheating on him(??!?) and made some sneaky calls after his to get his name out there. His perfect scam.. ruined. 

Anyways, Sapphire comes out of the shower, thus revealing that this is who Uran's sleeping with at this here hotel. He threatens to have her arrested for laying hands on a minor, but Sapphire tells him that his relations with Uran-sama is none of his business. Apparently in the past 24 hours, Sapphire has somehow fallen deeply in love with her.

Shirou witnesses a crime

Life moves on. Next day is when Shirou goes to the recording studio and bumps into Shotaro. When the kaiju attacks and Sayashi defeats it, a distance hero alarm rings too, but Sayashi makes no move to check it out. Shirou claims he's a wussy ass little bitch who only hunts kaiju he can beat, though Sayashi just tells him there's other Ikaros out there who can handle it. Shirou is still deeply affected by the time when a kaiju murdered his family and Ikaros didn't show up.

Next he meets up with Uran, who he assigned to set off the hero alarm in order to lure out Ikaros. Apparently only a Red Ikaros appeared... not Isshiki. And Sayashi was still here at the studio, so it was likely someone else. Uran fesses up to being a big Ikaros fan, but feels awkward about it since Shirou hates heroes. Shirou makes it clear that he's sick of having to wait to be saved by anyone, and swears it's his life mission to uncover the secret behind kaiju and Ikaros.

After separating with her, at some point while wandering around, Shirou's car gets towed... so he's reasonably really peeved about that since it was his precious SUBALU. He then randomly encounters Isshiki, who pulls him into an alley and insists on taking his temperature!? Shirou notices how Isshiki is acting a bit off before he gets KISSED!? He pushes him away, since this isn't even Isshiki... it's an IMPOSTER! Apparently kaiju can steal other kaiju's unique skills by smooching them? Anyways the imposter fucked with the wrong twink today, since Isshiki is so fucking pissed off that he immediately transforms into kaiju form and rips the guy apart until dead. He takes to the skies and flutters around a bit before cooling down and reverting to human form while midair. Realizing his poor life decisions at that moment, he ends up getting caught by the real Isshiki before things get dicey.

Don't fuck with a pissed off Shirou

It's a tender moment, and Shirou is pissed, asking why Isshiki never seems to come save him on time... Every time, he's always a step to late, or appears after the fact. Isshiki tells him it's because he wants to teach Shirou to call for help when he needs it. Since even if a hero doesn't come, Isshiki will always be there for him if he calls... Shirou's just like, how do you think it'd make me feel to know there's a pervert always following me around, waiting to come to my rescue..?? He acts a bit more tsundere while telling Isshiki to go away. Shirou's starting to acknowledge that he still cares about Isshiki... but he wishes he didn't.

Tendie...

Back at the office, Uran and Sapphire try to help Shirou out, since apparently he is indeed coming down with something. Uran continues to troll him, and they are soon banished from his office. A customer comes in to once again ask Shirou for detective services, and he mentally gives up on continuing his photographer profession since clearly no one actually wants a photographer. The guy hires Shirou to find his kaiju brother that ran away to join Orange.

While digging info on Orange, he encounters a strange man at a bar, who he soon recognizes to be the manager who looked after him and Bell during the filming of "Mother Bird"???? The guy is also... a kaiju who is part of Orange. He gives Shirou Orange's home address.

Manager dude

Shirou sneaks into Orange's HQ in order to find Yamada, but he turns out to be rather uncooperative. He then transforms into kaiju form and attacks Shirou... so Shirou has no choice but to escape into an elevator, where he once again reunites with the manager. The guy shows Shirou around and takes him to the big mega robot room, before abruptly disappearing when Sho and Kobayashi enter the room. This is when Shirou has to awkwardly try to pretend he's not there. After Kobayashi tries to kill him and Isshiki saves him, Shirou is shocked to find Isshiki here. Why's he part of Orange? The whole thing kind of pisses him off.

Shirou being attacked by tentacles

During the car ride home with Shotaro, he brings up information he stole while in Orange before Yamada attacked him.. How Shotaro's dad was a person of interest to Orange.. After the conversation doesn't go anywhere, Shirou hopes that he never has to meet Shotaro again. At the car rental place, he notices his previously missing car... apparently a young couple is using it. He immediately gets into an unseemly fight with the couple and takes his car back. By this point, Shotaro has already left.

He really values this car, since apparently as a kid, Bell told him she liked white cars with caramel colored seats. Ever since, he swore to get her a car like that... now today he's driving this white SUBALU with brown seats. He parks alongside the road and looks out at the sunset to ponder his life choices. Isshiki appears, and it turns out he's the one who recovered Shirou's car.

Isshiki tells him that he hates Ikaros and wants to create a peaceful world for kaiju. Of course Shirou thinks that all sounds stupid af since kaiju are awful creatures... Isshiki wants Shirou to know that there are good kaiju and bad, just like how there's good human and bad. Since they're all people. Shirou wonders if Isshiki really loves him with the way he gets treated like this... almost got assaulted just a while ago. Isshiki says that if that impersonator had tried to undo his pants, he would've killed him right there. Though Shirou thinks that's stupid since shouldn't the limit have been already at the shirt...? Like... geez. >_< Shirou tells him that he can't love him back because there's already someone in his heart... but that someone is dead. (referring to childhood Bell-chan) He asks Isshiki who infected him, and apparently it was the manager... Damn. Shirou starts to cry...

Apparently Isshiki didn't want Shirou to see his scarred face, so he had the manager turn him into a kaiju to become pretty again. This of course, Isshiki finds completely stupid, since a scar or no scar.. he'd still be himself... It's the same, idiot! Anyways, Isshiki tells Shirou that he'll maybe leave him alone if he gives him just one kiss... he's been pining after him for 23 years after all. Shirou reluctantly agrees, and decides to write up a contract to make things absolutely clear.

Caught off guard.. cute

They get in the car and have a tender kissu...which then immediately escalates. After touching Shirou inappropriate for an extended period time, Shirou ends their play time and gets back into the drivers seat. Isshiki begs him for just one more kissu.. a few more seconds~! >< Since kaiju skills transfer with saliva... pls one more kissu to get my skills back~~~~~ Shirou decides he'll give Isshiki his skills back if he quits Orange and becomes his slave~ xD

Shirou experiences the 1st step to losing his v-card (again)

So back at the office, Isshiki now attends to his beck and call... though it's evident that he's a completely shit cook.  Shirou tries to act normally, but once left to his own thoughts, it's apparent he's going crazy over how Isshiki makes him feel... heh. The next day, they have some warm domestic happy time while Sapphire and Uran come to play as well. They hold a mini photoshoot while dressing up in cute kimono. While dolling the two up, Isshiki talks a bit about his time working at what sounds to be a strip clup, and Shirou has mixed feelings about hearing this. He then runs off, and Isshiki is left to take the photos.

While wandering around aimlessly, he ends up catching sight of a car from the recording studio, so he follows it for fun. This is how he ends up catching sight of what appears to be Sayashi Jyurou engaging in illicit sexual exchanges.. so he takes some discrete photos of Jyurou entering into a building with an unknown man. Yomi suddenly appears behind him to ask what he's up to. Jyurou currently is filming something at the studio, so clearly he wouldn't be here right now... why don't we go look together? 8)

Yomi appearing sexily in Shirou's blindspot

Shirou has an awful feeling about this, but he follows Yomi anyways... only to find that the room Jyurou went into is now empty with nothing but a fucked up looking corpse. Shirou wants to call the cops, but Yomi just tells him they only came here to prove that Jyurou isn't here. There's clearly no need for cops, since the corpse isn't relevant to their discussion! Either way, he'd just love if Shirou would send him the photos he took. :) 

Please eat me Yomi

When attempting to drive off, Shirou notices that his breaks have been cut! Oh boy! A child runs into the street, so he ends up swerving and crashing the car into a light post. What an awful day. When he gets home, Isshiki asks him what's wrong... and clearly has an inkling of what happened. It seems he has stolen Sapphire's heart reading skill. Shirou tells him that the person who tried to kill him was probably Hibarino Yomi, before telling Isshiki to get the fuck out. He doesn't want to talk with someone who just kisses anyone wantonly like that!!!

Of course Isshiki can now read his mind, so he can see that Shirou's just worried about him. Of course that just annoys Shirou, so he has to promise to not use that trick again... Shirou starts crying because his feelings are all a mess, and he feels like Isshiki is just tormenting him...He hates Isshiki...or more like he wishes he hated him, because he actually still really loves him. He's loved him all this time and is just horribly in denial about it. They start making out, and Isshiki jokingly tries to take things further... when Shirou allows him!? Ah... doki. After Shirou starts acting honestly for once in his life, Isshiki has a mini heart attack. Cute.

Doki doki... Shirou finally drops his defenses..

Right before engaging in illicit acts, Isshiki mentions how he's heard that it's possible to get pregnant between two kaiju. Shirou immediately tries to cancel their activities, but it's too late... Isshiki says he's already taken responsibility in advance since they're married, right? xD Anyways this and that happens and they have a lovely night.

The next day, he gets a customer for his actual photography job. While Isshiki had greeted the customer, after Shirou is alone with the guy, the guy says some rather harsh remarks, talking about how he was afraid Isshiki would try to go for him... This pisses Shirou off, so he tells him that gays hate ugly people so he has nothing to worry about. Is this character development?

Shirou and Isshiki proceed to have a cute amusement park date after recieving tickets from Sapphire, who couldn't go with Uran due to circumstances. Things get quite personal as they talk about this and that in the mirror house, and after leaving, Isshiki vanishes... 

Flirting in the mirror house

Afterwards, Shirou heads to meet up with Uran to talk to her about the shady photos he took of Jyurou aka the part where he runs into Shotaro again. After that little event, he wanders around and ends up catching a battle between multiple Red Ikaros and the White Ikaros, his boyfriend. It becomes evident that the orange light that appears during the kaiju battles thus far, is actually Isshiki's true skill. It's the light that shines when he manipulates dead kaiju to do his bidding... sneaky. They have an argument about this, and Isshiki clarifies that his goal is to kill all Ikaros. Kill everyone who failed to protect Shirou's family and his now dead baby brother. According to Isshiki, the previous Ikaros, Sayashi's dad, didn't appear because he was busy attending Jyurou's birthday party. That's why he hates Jyurou. He runs off to commit more crimes.

Shirou is left with a bad taste in his mouth, because Isshiki was basically saying everything he's doing is for Shirou, so that means it's all partially Shirou's fault? Like... how is he supposed to take this. Isshiki gives him a hint about where Sakura-chan would be, so this is when Shirou tries to get Shotaro to go with him, since Shotaro cares about Sakura. And of course this is when we learn that this was a trap to lure Shirou far away from the real crime site. Also interestingly enough, the movie theater that Shotaro and Shirou go to is playing the movie, "Mother Bird". In the credits, he spots Isshiki's real name: Beruk Katze or something. Beruku? Bellok? Bullocks? Whatever. Also he recalls how the kaiju that killed his family had a similar name. In fact, the kaiju that killed his family was Isshiki's mother! Fun.

Baby Bell

So afterwards when Shirou and Shotaro head towards the explosion crime scene, Shirou is intercepted by the manager guy. Of course Shirou really hates him, because he feels like it's probably because of the manager's manipulations that Isshiki got into this whole mess. Fuck that guy, seriously. After Shotaro gets hospitalized from getting smashed, Shirou goes to see him because he feels partially responsible. He apologizes to Kodzuka-kun who is understandably an emotoinal wreck at the moment.

A rare depressed Akira

Shirou seeks out Isshiki again to talk about everything, and how he remembered that Isshiki's mom was the person who killed his family. He doesn't blame him for it... Apparently Isshiki's mom was kind of a wreck, and was raising him as a girl to fulfill her own failed dreams of becoming an actress. She was being seduced by the manager and got turned into a kaiju by him, and generally this was all probably the manager's fault. Isshiki says that regardless of all that, he won't stop his work for Orange. That the big boss isn't human or kaiju, and that the boss promised that at the end of it all, all kaijus can die. Great. Isshiki then rips out Shirou's heart in order to keep him immoblized for a while, as he doesn't want his cute boyfriend to run into any more trouble any time soon.

Super hero romance

After an unknown period of time, he somehow recovers from that anyways, and interferes with Isshiki's job by rescuing Shotaro. This is around the part where Shotaro had gone to get Akira's body parts back and got saved by an unknown kaiju. That was Shirou. Anyways bla bla he clashes with isshiki at the weird monument place bla bla everything falling apart bla bla. We get to the part where they're in the other dimension and Shirou gets 'taken hostage' by Isshiki, though yeah it looks more like Isshiki got lectured by his boyfriend and is now hiding behind him... 

The place collapsed and they're trapped in the wreckage. While weakened, Isshiki asks Shirou to call him Bell-chan again... because he has an otome kokoro and would like to hear it. Unfortunately, Shirou does not want to. Yomi then appears and borrows Shirou for some reason, and next Isshiki wakes up, he's alone. Shirou is dead? Well he's gone at least. Bla bla crazy battles bla bla Isshiki teams up with Akira temporarily bla bla, he ends up returning to where the Orange's leader is and runs into the manager, who he tries to kill because fuck that bitch. Apparently he's a pretty fucked in the head guy, and purposely drove his mom to turning crazy kaiju because he's like that. And now he wants to impregnat Isshiki so as to make a copy of his mom? Excuse me? Well he dies. Afterward's, Orange's leader, the Black Shadow appears to tell Isshiki that he'll give him what he wants if he can go kill Black Ikaros for him??

Isshiki's boss applying some... 'lipstick'

After Isshiki leaves, Shirou is unkilled by Yomi, and he just kind of lets him go? I guess in exchange for Isshiki doing what Yomi wanted... Yomi sure has a lot of party tricks he can do. Shirou goes and finds Isshiki who I think entered crazy berserk kaiju monster mode, but after clashing a bit he calms down. They dramatically start falling from high in the air, and Isshiki is like grabbing onto something and holding Shirou by his arm. Dramatically. It's implied around the same time as now, the universes are probably merging back together since Yomi is getting exploded. In that brief moment, Shirou finally tells Isshiki "I love you"! Gay!

Isshiki gets his scar back for some reason

In the new universe, Shirou tries to find Isshiki and only manages to find the manager, who claims to have murdered Isshiki and buried him? What...? He goes crazy from despair, like after this entire goddamn bullshit train, now Isshiki's dead? Like seriously what the fuck. Shirou tries to take the manager to court, but it doesn't work out, so he attempts to hire a hitman to kill him. The hitman thing doesn't work out as the hitman in question apparently also has a grudge against Shirou? To be honest I wasn't really sure what was going on at this point. Either way, he goes to the airport while packing a gun in order to kill the manager himself. Before pulling the trigger, Isshiki randomly appears to stop him, and he accidentally stabs him???? They rush to a car, and Isshiki tells him that he was playing missing because he thought Shirou would be happier without him. Like... after all that, seriously? Okay man.

Shirou in despair when he thought Isshiki was dead

Shirou learning Isshiki is alive

Some time later, the two and their good friends, Sapphire and Uran, are having a fun time at a fun top class hotel resort. Sexy swimsuits and all. Shirou can't really stand the atmosphere here though, so he decides to run away to his car to leave... of course Isshiki follows. They then return to his photography studio to fuck like crazy. It's cho eroi and there's some funny bits too, like how Shirou insists on using a condom but alas... well to be short they don't use it. Rip.

Cute...

Gay

The end. Well a lot happened, that's for sure. If anyone can explain what happened with the whole hitman thing, feel free to tell me.

☀Chapter Three☀

text reads dusk man

So Sayashi Jyurou is your regular everyday famous actor who is also a super hero on the side. Known for his role as Ikaros, he is also actually Ikaros. For whatever reason though, his Ikaros form is black... a Black Ikaros... so ominous! He primarily works alongside 2 other Ikaros, Akira and Hayata, both who he saved from the brink of death by sharing with them his power. Accompanying him around is the mascot cat Taro, who doesn't like leaving him.

Taro transforms into an umbrella

After a long day's work of fighting kaiju and the like, he returns home to his extravagant large rich manor, where he gets into the large bath alongside his beloved platonic adopted brother, Yomi. Apparently he moved out some time ago in order to not burden the household, and Jyurou low key would really like him to move back in. Either way, Yomi now works various odd jobs while living in some mystery location close to Jyurou's place.

Yomi talking with Taro

Jyurou platonically caressing Yomi's face

When he was young, a kaiju murdered Jyurou's parents. Yomi was found wounded close to the crime scene, and apparently was left with trauma and amnesia. Jyurou's grandpa took him in out of kindness, and he's been raised like a brother to Jyurou ever since. However, he still speaks in keigo, and Jyurou can feel an invisible wall between them... The wall called the bro zone...

A pleasant life continues of beating up kaiju. Things get dicey sometimes, but it usually works out. At some point, Akira starts coming late to work... it seems something good has happened to him recently, but what? Just kidding, it's obvious that this is around when Akira first met Shotaro and fell in love... he is a simple lad. They go to a cafe Yomi works at to talk about it, and Akira ends up opening up to Jyurou and asking some love advice... Jyurou's advice turns out to be extremely unreliable, and moreso stuff like "you might just be infatuated" "think about things reasonably" etc, which doesn't vibe with a hot blooded guy at all. Either way, it's obvious that Akira looks up to Jyurou a lot.

Jyurou tries to take escort Yomi home, but he Yomi insists that he has things to take care of here. The bro zone is a cold place indeed... Walking in the cold with Tarobrella, Jyurou encounters an older woman he recognizes, who asks him to accompany her. He enters her home and they have a long talk... apparently she doesn't have much longer to live, and she cared about his father. Something like that. Old people talk. Anyways, when Jyurou leaves, Miyamoto Uran is around the corner... Apparently she was taking photos of the whole thing.

Uran engaging in paparazzi activity

The next day at work, Uran ends up showing up to confront Jyurou with her blackmail materials. Apparently she intends to publish the photos as a scandal with him getting intimate with an older person from the industry, unless if he comes to meet her to discuss some terms. He accepts, and meets her at a bar of sorts late at night. Apparently she just wants money from him. And also apparently she's a big Ikaros fan, but is disgusted by immoral stuff like fucking for job opportunities... She doesn't believe Jyurou when he says nothing happened, and insists that he don't do this kind of thing again, as it would ruin the dreams of the children who look up to him.

After she leaves, a kaiju attacks, so of course Jyurou has to stay to fight it. While Taro tries to evacuate the civilians, Uran drops her precious Ikaros bag, so she returns to get it. On the way, she gets hit by the kaiju and half her body gets torn off. Jyurou decides that her sense of justice is pretty good, so he gives her some of his blood, turning her into another Ikaros.

Ouchie

With that over with, Uran ends up giving Jyurou the photo she intended to publish, and it's actually a very nice picture of him and the older woman. Anyways, at the next hero team meetup, Akira is awkwardly trying to ask Hayata-kun for advice on how to take his relationship with Sho-chan to the next level. All Hayata knows is to "go for the boobs", which is very unhelpful for his situation. Jyurou then introduces the team to Uran, and the two are immediately in shock at the size of her knockers. Also by the fact that their squad now has a Real Girl. Hayata is most effective since he is the only heterosexual in the team.

Cut to the kaiju team in Orange HQ. The three top members, Isshiki, manager man, and Kobayashi-kun, discuss their plans for world domination whatever it is they plan. They keep trying to ask their leader for advice, but their leader is fast asleep... It can't be helped since it is currently ass o' clock after all, probably.

Jyurou gazing upon the face of his beloved platonic bro friend

Meanwhile, around the same time, Jyurou wakes up from a nightmare. The last moments of his fellow Ikaros from before he recruited Akira, a guy named Gorohachi. His last words: I leave everyone... and her... to you..." He wakes up in a cold sweat to see Yomi looking down at him. He tells Yomi he wants to quit, but Yomi just hugs him and comforts him... This just reminds Jyurou how the one thing he fears most is losing Yomi.

Flashing back, at that time, White Ikaros was weakened. He was the guy who killed Gorohachi, but instead of finishing him off, Jyurou ended up moving to rescue a dying Akira instead, who was caught in the crossfire. He feels like this was a poor decision on his part, but once again, Yomi just tells him to go back to sleep.

The next day, Jyurou is minding his own business in his private resting room on set before filming. Yomi is due for delivering his delicious homemade bento right about now when... a delivery lady appears with ramen. The lady is Hayata-kun's future girlfriend Fujiko. She hands him the ramen, but he doesn't want to eat it... seeing this, she becomes concerned about his health, and basically forces him to eat the whole bowl. It tastes like shit. Right when she started applauding his efforts, Yomi walks in with the bentou and proceeds to completely crack. Jyurou... eating food by someone else? Food where you have no clue what they put in it!? How dare she. Fujiko finally realizes that she got the wrong room, and makes a quick retreat.

Yomi's last straw

Yomi tells Jyurou that if he desires it, he would kill immediately kill Fujiko. Of course Jyurou's like... that's a bit extreme. He reassures Yomi that his cooking is vastly superior to this shitty ramen, and so Yomi asks him to prove it. Thus, Jyurou eats two lunches. But it's no problem for him, since he'd do anything for Yomi. This was the first time Taro had seen Yomi lose his cool. Me too.

That night, the Ikaros squad gets to more hero work. Apparently, a civilian hero is attempting to chase down today's villain! A mysterious biker... and so the team makes chase. It's just Jyurou, Hayata, and Uran today, so Hayata goes a bit far in order to impress Uran. Seeing that things are relatively taken care of, Uran goes home early. It then becomes increasingly obvious that the civilian hero is actually Fujiko, the ramen lady. She shows Hayata her tits as prize for doing a good job. He falls in love at first sight.

oppai

At their next Ikaros meetup, Jyurou invites Fujiko along and initiates her into the Ikaros club. Now she's an Ikaros too! Also, update on Akira's love life: apparently the boobs thing went horribly, so Hayata's advice won't be taken in the future. Uran advises that he should get on all fours and beg if he really wants something from his lover. After that, Yomi brings up how apparently Taro shit out some mysterious balls today that when ingested, will give those who ate it a telepathic connection with each other. There's only 5, so he gives one to everyone except Jyurou. This causes a sun symbol to appear on their body. Jyurou feels a little left out, but he won't question anything Yomi does.

The team gets matching tats (except Jyurou)

That night, Jyurou is being driven to his fiance's concert in his fancy rich guy car while sitting in the passenger seat with Yomi. Yomi tells him to catch some Z's, but Jyurou tells him that he always feels like.. Yomi will disappear if he falls asleep... In fact, when Yomi decided to move out, he was so afraid that it was because Yomi had grown to dislike him. Yomi's presence by his side is what's saving him... He tells Yomi that he wants to introduce him to his fiance, Nozomi, personally. But of course Yomi just brings up excuse after excuse. Apparently there's a star shower tonight. In the end, they compromise with Yomi just waiting for him in the car.

The fiance, Nozomi

Jyurou meets up with his fiance, Nozomi, who is apparently a well known pop idol. She is SUPER pleased to see him, having thought that he wouldn't even show up... her manager is a bit of a stick in the mud about it, but either way there's nothing he can do. During the concert, kaiju go crazy in the crowd, so Jyurou quickly becomes Ikaros to fight them. Oddly enough, some of the kaiju just go down on their own, and the survivors start looking scared... soon enough, all the kaiju are defeated. What exactly just happened...?

After the concert, Yomi directs the car to stop at Nozomi's house. He hands Jyurou a large bouquet to give her, and basically dumps him there. Jyurou asks Yomi if he would rather go catch the shooting stars than him... and Yomi's like yes. Bro-zoned again, Jyurou then enters Nozomi's home with Taro... Taro tells Jyurou that he thinks something was helping them fight those kaiju earlier at the stadium, but what could it have been?

Yomi tired after exerting himself(?)

Nozomi comes out and they have a tender moment before they go to her room to fuck. For whatever reason, she asks Jyurou to tell her what color her eyes are... he avoids the question. He flashbacks to when he first met her, and how she was desperate in saying she'd become a great singer in order to be suitable for him... He also remembers Gorohachi leaving her in his care. Honestly though I'm not sure about Gorohachi and Nozomi's relation to each other.

First thing in the morning, Uran shows up again to blackmail money out of him for going on more midnight rendezvous. Even being teeammates won't stop her from trying to make some bank. When he finally gets home, he finds Yomi asleep in some random spot on the floor. Apparently it's common for him to just sleep... wherever. It's only when with Yomi when Jyurou smiles... He tackles him to the ground before talking to him about the star shower... If Yomi can fall asleep anywhere anyways, then he can fall asleep in Jyurou's arms too...

Jyurou is literally only capable of smiling at Yomi

Sometime later at another Ikaros meetup party, Akira is in an extremely chipper mood. Apparently going full dogeza was very effective, and now he's going to move in with Shotaro. Also, apparently Hayata fucked Fujiko so now he thinks they're dating. So many love birds around while Jyurou is here in the cold and dark bro-zone. 

The whole Sakura thing happens after that, where they kill Sakura's mom who turned into a kaiju. Akira tries to adopt her since he feels pity for her and is afraid for her since she's a child kaiju. Jyurou would rather she be taken into proper custody and hands her to Yomi instead, but she still manages to escape... After running into her outside, Akira decide to really take her home, and Yomi appears to give him an okay.

Yomi being normal

Later on, Yomi reports all that to Jyurou, and Jyurou just leaves it all to Yomi's discretion. Yomi also tells Jyurou that he should smile more, so Jyurou forces an awkward smile... I'm sure Yomi doesn't know what's awkward and what isn't, so he'd have no way of knowing it looked really off-putting.  When they get home, apparently Nozomi has visited to make Jyurou dinner~! Apparently Yomi had helped set up this little play date... When she finishes cooking, she gets nervous, since Jyurou has his own cooking show. Jyurou let's her know that food is food. Before digging in, he spots Yomi staring at him from behind the screen door with a gaze as if saying Jyurou had said something unforgivable... Either way, Yomi continues to stare at him while he attempts to eat the undercooked fish. Regardless of it's shittiness, he tells Nozomi that it was delicious with a blank face. Yomi then retreats with Taro, satisfied.

Yomi staring platonically

Jyurou spends the night with Nozomi, and she tells him how much of a wonderful person she thinks Yomi is. She also thinks that Yomi likes Jyurou. Apparently he asked her to make Jyurou happy... Jyurou takes that as Yomi seeing him as unhappy. As usual, Yomi always sees right through Jyurou...

Next morning, he finds Yomi listening to a record playing Nozomi's music. Since Nozomi became successful thanks to Jyuro, isn't her songs like the fruits of their union? While talking about this, Yomi starts to shed tears. He keeps talking about how of anyone, Nozomi has a pure heart who wishes for Jyurou's happiness. So if there's anyone who can make him happy, it must be Nozomi. For whatever reason, all Jyurou can think about is how if Yomi can cry for when he's happy, then it means he doesn't cry for when he's unhappy. He goes over and over in his head about Yomi's intentions, and how he's come all this way because he's fighting for his and Taro's sake... On that day's cooking show, Jyurou fails to make a decent meal.The recording for the show that day was ruined, but all he can think about is Yomi. He's really at his fucking limit. 

Yomi crying platonically

When getting home, Akira comes to tell him about how Yomi came and took Sakura away. He also starts crying because Sho-chan is mad at him. In order to cheer him up, Jyurou makes him some dinner (though it doesn't taste like anything), and takes him to his private theater room to show him a movie. It's a strange French gay movie. Apparently it's a movie where the moral is that the opposite of love isn't saying goodbye. Sometimes you have to say goodbye because you love... Akira doesn't get it at all, so he leaves to go attempt to make up with Sho-chan.

Next morning, Yomi is lovingly cooking him eggs for breakfast. Seeing him here gives him very powerful emotions, so he asks Yomi to please move back in with him. Not even as a brother, just to like... hire him as a personal attendant. Jyurou knows if he doesn't put it that way, Yomi would just turn him down. He then rummages through some movie related stuff left behind by his late father, and tries to present a bundle of scripts (I think?) to Yomi since he likes Ikaros. However Yomi tells him that it's not that he like sIkaros... it's that he likes the Jyurou who's a hero.

Jyurou SNAPS. The years of UST completely flies out of control and he pins Yomi to the wall. He's all like.. "so you LIKE like me??" and KISSES him. Yomi asks if this is an act of pride or a joke, and of course Jyurou tries to tell him that he's dead serious. Yomi answers by biting his lip and telling him that he only thinks of Jyurou as family. Nothing more. Taro's all like OMG JYUROU WTF DID YOU DO. Jyurou tells Taro not to follow his bad example after Yomi leaves him.

Yomi displeased at this breach of the bro code

Next is the studio recording where Shotaro comes to play the role of the kaiju. Yomi acts like nothing ever happened before, and Jyurou is still completely overwhelmed with his despairing feelings of longing. On the way home, Yomi meets up with Jyurou again, and talks about the past with him. About how his dead parents would be happy if he was with Nozomi etc etc. How a hero needs a heroine. While Jyurou wanted to apologize to Yomi for yesterday, part of him just can't do it. He intends to watch more movies when he gets home, but instead lies on the ground in complete depression mode. He then writes a poem describing his complicated feelings for Yomi...

I'll transliterate it bcuz I'm a sap. I'm not a poet OR fluent so don't roast me:

To you; The rising morning sun you see; To me is the setting sun; The setting sun you see; To me is the rising sun; Numerous shadows are born from a single sun

Wow so deep... *cries*

Jyurou suffering from lovesickness

Sometime later at the next Ikaros meetup, there's a funny scene about Fujiko cheating on Hayata and how cheating with people you don't love is the same as jacking off so it's fine! It's not fine... Uran is impressed that Fujiko can keep such a loyal slave (Hayata). Anyways, Jyurou is still too depressed to function.

Someone knocks on the door, and he expects it to be Yomi... but out comes Nozomi. Apparently Yomi had requested that she take his place as the tea making person at the Ikaros meetups. Jyurou is not pleased. After the meeting, he tells Nozomi that she doesn't have to come back. That it's too dangerous for her, and that he promised Gorohachi to keep her safe. Nozomi gets mad, saying that he's making it sound like he's only with her to make Gorohachi happy, and Jyurou has the nerve to say that that's exactly whats what. The crew who'd been eavesdropping behind the door break in to start telling off Jyurou for being such a horrible person. He then clarifies that nothing he said was a lie, and that he is engaged to Nozomi because it's what Gorohachi wanted. Outside of that, he has no feelings for her. Ouch!

The crew appalled at Jyurou's coldness

So cut to some chaos. The one who let Sakura out of protective custody and convinced her to go crazy wild as the fire kaiju was of course... the mysterious 'black shadow' who is obviously Yomi. So Sakura goes crazy and the Ikaros team has to do their best to calm her down, however she ends up getting kidnapped by White Ikaros and taken to Orange. Cut again to Jyurou spending a tender moment with Nozomi, where she tells him she'll always be there for him. He corrects her sentence, since apparently the 'script' wrote her line differently. Basically this entire farce just feels like a script that Jyurou is following. His life is a joke.

Even as a kid, his parents were adamant in raising him to be an actor. He had a hard time making friends, and his mom would always drag him off while Shirou and Bell were flirting on set during the filming of Mother Bird. He felt empty... but amidst all that, he finally ended up meeting Yomi. To him, Yomi was someone similar to him...

Jyurou continues to fight as a hero, remembering Yomi's words... how he loved the Jyurou who played hero...

Cut to that one scene where he visits the costumer senile old guy and runs into Yomi who was with Shotaro. He asks Yomi to help him change into the new super suit, and they talk about his future as Ikaros... He'll keep on playing hero. Jyurou tells Yomi that he'll kill White Ikaros tonight, so that he can gain the right to fuck Yomi. Yomi's all like, ok do your best.

This is totally normal

He tries but... well the battle doesn't go as well as he would have liked. Upon getting home, Yomi brings up how pretty the stars are, and Jyurou replies immediately how Yomi is infinitely more beautiful. His heart only beats for Yomi... He is so despo. But Yomi says that he said what he said. If he didn't kill Isshiki, there ain't gonna be no sex. Yomi isn't interested in a weak hero. Jyurou pins him to the ground, telling Yomi that he thinks he could win if he slept with him... Damn. He is so despo. Yomi flips him over and tells him that in the world of animals, being gay isn't uncommon. But when it comes to it, it's the superior who tops the inferior. Jyurou better go level up if he wanna try! 

Yomi blocking Jyurou's advances with Taro

Yomi platonically straddling his bro

Jyurou is so like... these are mixed messages? Confusion. Yomi insists that his happiness is in Jyurou's happiness. And that the thing he fears most is that Jyurou fails... Jyurou legit starts crying because he's so sad. All he wants is for Yomi to love him.

Jyurou shedding a non-platonic tear

Yomi moves on to tormenting Nozomi's manager in his ominous black shadow mode, since the manger guy is apparently a kaiju. In kaiju form, he kidnaps Nozomi and causes some trouble. Taro tells Jyurou to go save her, and all he has to say is "what about Uran?" Fucker... When Taro mentions that Yomi specifically wanted Jyurou to go, he's up in a heartbeat. What a simple guy. He fights the manager, but Nozomi ends up transforming into a kaiju as well. While Jyurou intends to kill her without hesitation, Taro stops him, saying that he has to keep his promise to protect her. And so he stalls long enough for her to calm down. While carrying the unconscious Nozomi, Taro tells him that he remembered that it's important to protect the ones you love. However all Jyurou has to say to that, is that the only person he loves... is Yomi.

At the hospital, Nozomi asks Jyurou about her eye color again, so he straight up just tells her its orange. He also tells her that the perosn she really loves was Gorohachi, and that he doesn't want to sleep with her anymore. Lol. It's over. He leaves a despairing Nozomi alone in her room. He goes to visit the graves of his parents, where he finds Yomi. Yomi is kind of pissed at how he treated Nozomi. They get into an argument, and Jyurou tells Yomi that all he cares about is protecting him. He doesn't care if Yomi isn't human, and he doesn't care if Yomi asks him to kill all his friends and family. Fuck it all, he'd do anything if Yomi asked him to.

once again Taro is a Tarombrella

Yomi starts reminiscing to the day they first met. The day Yomi murdered Jyurou's parents... and how Jyurou, who'd witnessed it, just reached out a hand to Yomi, telling him he'd take care of him. Yomi tells Jyurou that they won't meet again, so Jyurou smacks him in the head and tells him to FIGHT. They gonna decide who's the superior animal right here right now.

bonk

Yomi reveals his true form, and even though it's a giant fucking eyeball, Jyurou goes off on how absolutely gorgeous breathtaking beautiful he is to him... Wow what a beautiful, beautiful.. red thing. Wow. I don't care how many arms or legs you have, Yomi... you sexy. Flattery kind of has no effect on Yomi though, so he starts giving Jyurou a serious beat down. Yomi tells him that he's gonna destroy this planet...

Yomi's sexy eyeball mode

When Jyurou wakes up, he's back at home. He calls for Yomi, but Yomi's not here... to Jyurou, nothing in this world matters except for Him. What's the point of anything? He only ever acted as a hero because Yomi wanted him to. Jyurou has a talk with Taro, and Taro basically figured out that Jyurou is desperately in love with Yomi. Man, Taro is seriously like Jyurou's only friend. Taro misses Yomi too...

You can see Taro's butthole here

Then Sakura breaks in to try to kill Jyurou. Apparently back at Orange HQ, Yomi put some ideas into her head and activated her berserk button. Chaos breaks out in the city, fire explosions everywhere. The Ikaros team starts to fall apart too. Taro randomly remembers that the person who turned him into a cat was actually Yomi. The squad now all know that Yomi is evil! Yay! Jyurou tries to dispand the Hero Squad since he honestly doesn't give a shit anymore, the whole Shotaro turning into a kaiju thing happens, he tries to kill him ofc as is his hero duty, Shotaro gets kidnapped by Isshiki, Yomi trie sto insist for Isshiki to kill Shotaro, but then plays it off as a joke? Yomi is so silly. He then says that Isshiki is a nice person... Isshiki however feels like he's more indecisive than anything.

This triggers a whole ass flashback about Yomi's indecisiveness. Apparently 29 years ago when he first came to Earth on his alien mission to destroy the planet, he was so captivated by how beautiful and blue the place was that he hesitated. Where he came from, only the colors black yellow and red exist. In that moment of indecision, he split the Earth into two parallel dimensions, so that if he destroyed the planet on his mission in one dimension, the other would remain untouched... When crashing onto the planet, he was but a weak little tentacle eyeball critter. He ended up splitting into two pieces, I think? One chunk of him got picked up by Jyurou's father and taken in. It was apparently too weak to do anything and was going to sleep to protect itself, while the other half would be the one that does all the heavy work. This other half would then proceed to spread kaiju-itis and give Ikaros powers to Jyurou's family or whatever, and start this eternal cycle of hero adventures.

Eventually came the day when he killed Jyurou's parents for whatever reason. He was near the brink of death, but Jyurou then saved him... Using the last of its strength, the critter took human form. And so Jyurou would proceed to take care of him and name him. Yomi... the characters for 'night' and 'beautiful'. Since he's as beautiful as the night sky. xD Jyurou also mentions that if Yomi ever leaves him, he'll break his legs! Even as a baby, Jyurou's eyes were filled with killing intent. A fucked up kind of killing intent filled love... This is how Yomi, an invasive species, learned how it felt to look at an invader. He was scared of this kid... damn.

baby mode

Back at Orange HQ, since Yomi has cut off ties with Jyurou, he's feeling a little itchy. He offers to make lunch for the crew, but both the manger guy and Isshiki are like ummm no we are fine. Isshiki runs out of excuses eventually, and so agrees to letting Yomi cook for them. Awkward.

So we blaze through the whole stuff where Akira fights Isshiki and gets his ass majorly kicked. While Yomi is helping Shotaro go find Isshiki, Jyurou runs amock in his hero form, laughing hysterically about how this is all such a farce. This whole time he pursues a meaningless justice... what's it even all for? Yomi's the one who started this, so he wants Yomi to give him answers. This whole time he knew full well that Taro was his uncle that got turned into a mascot cat, and that Yomi was the one who killed his parents. Like whatever, but why can't Yomi tell him what he wants to hear... If Yomi wants JUSTICE, then he'll give him justice. Jyurou then goes on an indiscriminate killing spree of innocent humanoid kaiju. Great!

Yomi appears to save the witless bystanders from Jyurou's rampage, and picks a fight with him. Jyurou is suffering from a complete emotional breakdown, and begs Yomi to tell him why he keeps running away. If he keeps this up, he really gonna break his legs like promised. He tries to beat the shit out of him while professing his undying love, and keeps repeating how he can't live without Yomi. Yomi tells him that what he's doing has been just like what Jyurou's parents did. Like how his parents tried scripting his life into that of an actor, Yomi is just scripting him into a hero. 

Yomi tells him that he really does love Jyurou... but this is why they must separate. He's already made his decision to leave. But JYUROU CAN'T TAKE THAT... He literally cannot LIVE without Yomi. This whole time, he hates movies and acting. He hates heroes and all this bullshit. He always wanted to be a fucking poet instead. He tries to strangle Yomi to get his point across, but Yomi goes full true form mode on him. Basically... he creates some darkness monsters and brutally mauls and stabs Jyurou... in the ass. With monsters. Great. He lovingly whispers to Jyurou that he could've taken over the world in one day, but stretched it out all this time because he wanted to stretch out his time with him.

Yomi being unbelievably sexy

After a total defeat, Yomi is about to go on his merry way when Jyurou continues to beg him not to leave... oof. He has nothing besides Yomi. Going on the full aggressive, he straddles Yomi and BEGS him to take him. Some extremely erotic things happen, and then Yomi rips off Jyurou's arms and legs and leaves him there. He had to transform in order to activate his regen skills so he just looks like a limbless power ranger... wow.

Jyurou 5 seconds before highly non-platonic events

Inspired after getting  thoroughly fucked, Jyurou takes quick action after growing his limbs back. He attacks each member of team Ikaros and steals their transforming power. Taro's all like NOO JYUROU STOP PLEASE, but it's to no avail. A man's gotta do what he gotta do for love... He also brutally decapitates Isshiki. The scene was kind of fucked. He reports back to big eyeball Yomi and lets him kno he's basically killed everyone. Can they date now? Yomi responds no... they are literally enemy species. He wants Jyurou to kill him, not kill his friends??? All Jyurou has to say in response is "u r beautiful..." like.... okay Yomi is sick of that by now.

Taro crying

The friendship squad appears to make their final comeback, and they do that thing where they blow Yomi into the sky where he explodes. Jyurou is devastated... 

Then cuts to an odd scene about Jyurou's parents blabla how his dad wore a mask to be an actor blabla and his mom loved the real him under the mask, but NO ONE loves Jyurou under the mask!! Jyurou's uncle Tarou tries to tell him that Jyurou's fine... and that he can live as a hero because everyone is the protagonist of their own story. xD Sadly enough, Jyurou literally does not want to be a protagonist. He wants to be a side character. He just wants to live quietly in peace with his alien bae. He only ever stayed a main character for Yomi's sake anyways. 

He magically finds Yomi, and holds him close... Yomi gets really upset, brining up how Jyurou just doesn't get it. That because they're different species, Yomi will outlive Jyurou by a long time. Yomi doesn't know what kind of emotions he'd feel when Jyurou dies, so he wanted to avoid it entirely. Somehow. Jyurou tells him that as long as he lives, he will live alongside him... All he wants is to live in peace with him as a side character...

how the fuck did Yomi unexplode

And so the story ends abruptly, because they're side characters now! We don't have to see them anymore. Goodbye forever.

There's some sexier CGs but I can't show everything... just go buy the game urself. 

Final thoughts

Why did I type all that? Why did I do this to myself. I felt like the game wasn't that long when playing it, but after typing all this I changed my mind. Took me forever.

Anyways literally like the only thing in my brain is Yomi and Jyurou? Like... wtf, their entire route was literally just about their passionate love story. Mostly Jyurou's obsessive love towards Yomi, but also Yomi's complicated alien love towards Jyurou? Like... this shit mutual. The other two couples like they're cute and all but can you compare to... this? No. You really can't. 

*screeches like a banshee*

Uwah... I'm in pain... I wanted to cut details to make this all shorter, but what if I forget what happens in this game and reread my own post to remember, and I don't contain all the best details? Then future me would be upset, so I'm doing this for her sake, not mine.

Ugh I'm brain dead... brain dead... muweuhghjdksl.
