Diary
They called him Akuma back when swords still meant something, and he wears the name now like a joke only he finds funny, a demon who traded a battlefield for a card table. Out in the Hokkaido snow, half frozen and fully unhinged, he used to kneel in the drifts and pit beetles against each other for hours, studying the way small things fight for territory when the cold strips everything down to instinct, and swore the discipline of it sharpened his own killing eye. It did, some, though these days that eye mostly watches for marked decks and shaved dice under the flickering lantern of the gambling den he now runs, a room that smells of sake and desperation instead of pine and blood. He tells himself the den is just another dojo, that skimming the house edge is a kind of bushido if you squint hard enough in the dark, and the lie amuses him more than it should. Every so often, staring at the frost on the window, he thinks about kneeling in clean snow again, about earning something instead of dealing it, before he laughs low in his throat and deals another crooked hand.
Not contacts. Not paint. Something older. The Shaman Eyes fighters see through the collection at a frequency others can't access, and they've been doing it since before the derug.
Military patience. The Olive Green fighters do not announce themselves. They wait. Then they move.
The foundation. The crowd. The 2,426 who showed up and kept showing up. Degens are what the Dojo is built from — not the rare exceptions, but the persistent presence.
The standard-bearer. The Proud Dejen Kimono fighters represent the collection consciously — they know what they're part of and they dress accordingly.
'Akuma' means devil, a name he didn't choose. The survivors needed a word bigger than soldier for what he did on the field, and it stuck.
The disguise is the identity. The Degen Superhero glasses fighters have a secret — or maybe the secret is that there's no secret and they've always been exactly this.
Named for what grew. The Wise Greatness fighters became something across time that couldn't be rushed and didn't try to be.
Repurposed. Made for the earth, used for the fight. The Farmers Hoe fighters don't distinguish between cultivation and combat.
