I love suffering too, especially with pregnancy angst
Uta
– Uta finds his brat absolutely hysterical. She just snuck into Hysy and declared it her new home. Just like he would.
– His daughter has his naturally blonde hair, piercings, and ostentatious fashion, and is an artist in her own right.
– When he asks her about her art, she proudly proclaims that the boys she beats up are her art.
– Uta realizes that this is his punishment, and that his recently deceased lover is probably laughing at him from the afterlife. This has to be her orchestration. Somehow.
– The girl acts tough, but Uta hears her crying the night after she finds a picture of Uta with his pregnant lover.
– She later admits she grew up in the 4th ward, so she heard a lot about the deposed leader … and is frankly stunned that the leader is her father.
– Itori takes her on as an apprentice. She also becomes good friends with Touka. Their brash personalities mix well, and Uta’s daughter is fascinated by school.
Yomo Renji
– Yomo’s heart palpitates the second the lanky kid, too tall for his childlike face, enters :Re. His hair is blonde to ash at the ends – greying in his late teens, like Yomo.
– His kid is quiet, but doesn’t know much about communication, so his rudeness is mostly unintentional. Like when he tells Nishiki to fuck himself.
– Except Nishiki retorts with a crude yo mama joke, and finds himself promptly electrocuted.
– Yomo takes his son for a walk, during which the kid admits electrocution and fighting is the only thing that makes him feel good. Because he always wins. This disturbs and concerns Yomo.
– Yomo asks about his mother. The ghoul who vanished one night; he always assumed CCG took her.
– The kid says he grew up as an experiment in a hospital basement. His mother was with him, until she grew sick from too many experiments when he was fifteen. She gradually wasted away, but on her deathbed, she told him the answers about his dad that he always wondered.
– She never wanted to risk telling her child before, in case Dr. Kanou tried to torture it out of the boy, and then went after Yomo for his strength.
– She then used the last of her strength to help her son escape the hospital, with an address for Anteiku, which by then was ash. Somehow, a kindly ghoul named Uta found him and, upon learning his story, told him to come here.
– Yomo and his son reconcile, and both cry for the woman too brave for this world.
– When they return to :Re, Yomo tells his son not to punch Nishiki anymore, which is promptly undermined by Touka’s “as long as its after hours” and Koma’s volunteering for sparring hours.
Tsukiyama Shuu
– His high school sweetheart moved in with him. They had decided to have the baby, but she was ambushed and killed by ghoul-hunting human vigilantes.
– She still hadn’t learned about the species of her child, to Shuu’s endless angst. But somehow, miraculously, she had made it until the 7th month.
– The baby was saved, and in her last moments, when Shuu found her, she told him she already knew.
– He gave the child away and drowned himself in gourmet pleasures.
– When the kid returns, eager to fight Rio to defend some kids/enjoy the fight, Tsukiyama encounters him.
– As a ranking officer in the TSC, he did not arrive on scene until Yusa and his child were nearly surrounded.
– To his amazement, he recognized them immediately. They made a great team that evening, he, Yusa, and his son. For all his sarcasm and complaints, the kid was charming.
– Tsukiyama embraces him and cries before telling him who he is. It’s awkward all around.
– It gets more awkward when Tsukiyama Jr. begins dating Yusa.
Arima Kishou
– His daughter is the spitting image of young Arima, glasses and all.
– She is brought into CCG for being a delinquent who kills ghouls. By hand. That was his first clue.
– As soon as he sees her mother’s name (and death certificate), and that she’s a runaway from a foster home, he panics. This is real?!
– He promptly takes her into his squad. She’s a bit unhinged, like Juuzou was, but he can be the good father, right? Right?
– Surprisingly, it’s nice and quiet Hirako who gets through to her. Or, more specifically, his Shiba. Arima’s daughter has a soft spot for animals. Plus, Shio, Rikai, and Yusa call her big sister, and she loves it.
– She confronts Arima about who he is after seeing a photo of him as a child. This photo was supplied by Furuta, obviously.
– “It was obvious to you – it’s obvious to everyone here, isn’t it, everyone except me?” she cries.
– They have a long, horrible conversation. At the end, they reconcile, but she’s very disturbed by the truth of the Washuus.
– Cue her confronting Furuta about V and struggling to unite all the Washuus – including Yoshitoki and Matsuri – against V.
