Diary
Masumi Steel had a whole ritual worked out for pulling his own loose teeth, a shot of shochu, a rusty pair of pliers, and a mirror shard he swore was lucky, and it was working just fine until the heat rolled in thick as a wet blanket over the courtyard where he sat. Sweat in his eyes, blade of sunlight right in his face, he barely clocked the shadow behind him until the shadow introduced itself with a knife between the ribs, courtesy of some so-called friend settling an old debt Masumi had honestly forgotten existed. He still yanked the tooth out anyway, spat blood and enamel both onto the dirt, and grinned up at the guy like getting stabbed was just part of the dental plan. There was a time, back when the swords meant something, when he had brothers who'd have died before letting a blade near his back, and some nights that memory sits in his chest heavier than the wound ever did. These days he's sworn off cheap sake and cheaper company both, a discipline he announces loudly and abandons by sundown, because Masumi Steel keeps choosing his drinking buddies with the same care he chose that mirror shard, and it keeps costing him teeth he didn't plan on losing.
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.
Unclear until it clears. The Grey Mist backgrounds belong to fighters who operate where others can't see, and use that fog as their advantage.
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 organization runs deep. The Yakuza Tattoo Sleeve fighters have commitments that predated the Dojo and will outlast it.
They called him Steel because nothing moved him — cold face, cold hands, the last man standing while braver fools lost their nerve. In peacetime, steel with nothing to cut just rusts.
Clear eyes. No filter. The unshielded gaze that sees things as they are — not as they're presented or sold.
Named for the legendary swordsman. The Flowing Battousai fighters carry the name of the fastest draw in the collection's lore — and the hair confirms they take this seriously.
Not metaphorical. Someone's leg bone, spiked. The Spiky Femur fighters have been here long enough that the bones of their enemies are now equipment.
