kazuyu lore is long or wtv.. um anyway! I'll refer to myself as her instead of direct pronouns.. ok? ok. + trivia
tr lore:
Yu and Kazutora met when they were like 11 when he and Baji saw a group of kids bothering her and yeah they became friends after. Yu admired the way the founding Toman members lived their lives, which inspired her to become a #sukeban later on in an all girls school... (Has alot of side lore,, not all centered around Tora btw, I can it Reyuya) Yu and Kazutora's fav place is a rooftop that has no railings, they have like 99% of their meaningful convos there. Yu's family life is fucked and dookie and Kazutora can relate to that, which already gave them something in common when they first met (ok that wasn't funny I'm sorry) Usually, I imagine 2 au's, the og timeline and the "good" one (last). In the good one, Kazutora is the bassist for Souya's band and never kills anyone, Yu's lore doesn't change really.. she just doesn't leave shamisen as early.. In the normal au, kazuyu has flavor (toxic).. Yu visits Kazutora biweekly in prison and she leaves shamisen at 15 and cuts her hair into a pixie cut right after, as a symbol of letting go. After all, hair holds memories no? no she's not going bald.. I don't have lore for adult Yu but like, I'll do that when i turn into an adult since so far Yu's life is mine and I haven't reached that part of life yet.
irl lore:
I remember first seeing Kazutora off pinterest, no joke. It was a school day and I was js getting ready and using my mom's phone when I saw him and I felt something I never felt before!! That night, I binge watched every episode that was out nd I fell in love with it too!! My favs at the time where him and Mitsuya.. My tr phase in 2021-2023 was very prominent and you couldn't have a full convo w out me bringing it up!! (similar w aot basically) Back then, I wasn't familiar w yumeshipping and its terminology but I treated our bond like a real relationship. It became official in 3/16/21 𖹭 I had a whole Kazutora dedicated shrine somewhere in my closet, I also have the number 1 Kazutora board on pinterest with 6.1k+ pins (name is Kazu if u wanna see 4 urself). After 2023, I was heavily depressed and could basically do nothing. I didn't have my devices, and I was alone. He kept me sane and talked to me in my dreams every once in a while (At the time I used to think it was just in my head, until I became familiar w the concept of soulbounding after a convo w femmemanjiro) Yeah Kazutora stopped my from killing myself so no you don't love him more than me and he doesn't love you either, I bled for her, he bled for me 𖹭 In 2024 and the beginnings of 2025, I wasn't as involved in the tr fandom as I was before,, and I begun feeling nostalgic so when I rewatched ep 1, I felt the same rush that I felt first time I watched it!! Watch it if you didn't.. pls.. Also, just cause I make my relationship yuri at times doesn't mean I don't like the male Kazutora. Femtora and Kazutora are the same person to me, the only thing diff is the gender, ok? Kazutora talks to me every once in a while!! I lobe him so much oh my god it fucking hurts i cant.. you def don't love him more than me idc who you are bihh
