I'm Having A Great Time Drawing Teruhashi

"I don't care about your past, all that matters is who you are now and who you'll be in the future"

I have a headcanon that they both knew each other before, even before Kaidou's encounter with Mineo Nobuaki (Alphonse Calcifer Raiden )

They just were so physically and emotionally different before so that the moment Kuboyasu transferred to the PK academy neither of them recognized each other.

I also wanted to portray the contrast between the past and the present of them both.

(I just feel like Kuboyasu has committed full loyalty towards Kaidou ever since Kaidou told him to run, idc)

(which is fun how even though Aren is the strongest one, physically and mentally between them both, he still is all loyal for Shun, even if he is the weakest one)

Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan: Character Guide Book THE FULL PDF ------------------------------

To view online: https://online.fliphtml5.com/mbugx/mnpd/

To download: https://fliphtml5.com/api/download/download-file?bookId=58377260&type=1 Transliterations of all of the names from the character profiles are at this link: https://textdoc.co/kDL8Mv3u2Pfx0VWK (I tried pasting the list here under a read more, but Tumblr wasn't letting me publish it that way)

This book has character profiles for 254 characters, including birthdays and blood types.

(note: the book is in the usual Japanese right-to-left direction, but I couldn't get the FlipHTML5 PDF viewer linked above to stop splitting the pages if I made it that way. So it's on there left-to-right like a typical western book. It shouldn't affect much; just pretend it was printed that way to begin with) ----------------------------------------

Just a heads up: they weasel out of giving a handful of characters full names. Mrs. Kaidou, Matsuzaki, and others will sadly have to continue to be mysterious...

The book was published August 4th, 2015, before Chapter 159 was released. Notable characters missing: Satō Hiroshi, Suzumiya Hii, Akechi Tōma, Aiura Mikoto

(I tried to stick to ONE romanization system despite the fandom often using different systems at once [for example: Nendo vs Nendou vs Nendō], so if the spellings are "off", that might be why. Or I could have screwed up in some unrelated way. I don't know Japanese very well lmao)

this is mostly for me more than anything

Obligatory Kuboyasu analysis consisting of me spewing his praises for his birthday

It always continues to astound me how well adjusted Kuboyasu is, considering everything. Yeah his anger is bad, but beyond his moments of getting triggered (whether from moments that remind him of his past, i.e PTSD, or things that genuinely upset him) he’s the most rational out of all them, sometimes even beating out Saiki. More than that, Kuboyasu is evidently more willing to act like a kid than Saiki. The thing is, Saiki is a kid at heart; he just represses those desires. Kuboyasu doesn’t. I’d argue it makes him more mature than Saiki.

More than that, he’s a really good friend. He’s one of the few people who approach Saiki with minimal false assumptions beyond the ones Saiki pushes and the ones Kuboyasu has toward civilians. And those disappear rather quickly. He’s cunning and confident, and knows how to be a competent leader. There’s a lot of traits about him that make him just a genuinely good guy for the others to have in their lives, and definitely has fewer attachment issues than Saiki, making him easier for people to latch onto.

This is one of the reasons Kaido and Kuboyasu stick together like glue. I think both Kuboyasu and Saiki adore Kaido in similar ways, and also seek to protect him. Kuboyasu is just willing to actual let himself be on the same level as ‘his people’ because he doesn’t have a cocktail of god complexes and self-hatred like some people. Kaido would be as close to Saiki if Saiki let him, but Saiki has to heal some wounds before he feels comfortable doing so.

And I don’t CARE that they called it cliche, Kuboyasu wanting to be a teacher is such a fantastic sign of both his desire to do good in the world and his aims to better himself. This is one of the few people Saiki has almost no influence on their character development. Kuboyasu did that.

TLDR, Kuboyasu is amazingly well-adjusted and likely actively seeking to better himself, and despite not showing up as much as the other characters, still manages to prove himself to be a genuinely good friend and person. Happy birthday to one of my favorite characters!

Running Solo: feat. Kuboyasu, Saiki, and delinquents

From: vol 8 ch 84

GUYS LOOK 😭 Nobunaga Shimazaki ( Kaidou's voice actor ) posted a tweet on Saiki's birthday, playing as Kaidou.

Translation :

" We are the seed of calamity. From the moment we were born into this world, we were cursed with a blessing from the jet-black. As a result, the world rejected us, and we also rejected it back. To celebrate the day we were born into such a shitty world is madness.... but despite that I will say. Happy birthday, Saiki ☺ "

And then Asou-sensei ( Saiki K author ) replied to his tweet, playing as Saiki.

Translation :

" Good grief, how the hell did you find the time to come up with this chuunibyo crap when you should be busy? Seriously... well I want to reject you just like the world did but I’m obligated to say. Thank you, Kaidou. "

( in Hiroshi Kamiya's voice, Saiki's voice actor )

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH 😭😭😭

i don't know how fandom manages to portray kaidou as an 'uwu smol boy must be protected' type of character when he's the most obnoxious, pretentious smug little chuunibyou shit (mikrus) out there.......

happy almost black butler day to those who celebrate

Oh They're dating btw.

Is this fandom still Alive?
