──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── This is a heavily critical post regarding the bear attack last week. When it comes to animals, they tend to be unpredictable and wild. It’s how nature designed them, and they often don’t even have a moral compass, only doing what’s natural to them. So why would three young miscreants wander into the forest and disrupt the bears brought over here many months ago? Apparently, that is precisely what happened last week, resulting in a large squad of Police dressed in riot gear responding to a call regarding a man who had his arm mauled off by two bears. This unknown man and two friends of his had somehow provoked the bears and were chased into the 11/7, a place they thought they...

Hello Karakura! Yesterday, many of the city's residents had a fun day outdoors! The main event was a long marathon, followed by an open water race. Here, I’ll explain everything that happened to those who couldn’t make it on this lovely day! First, people rushed into the beach. There was quite a large number of people occupying the area, and plenty of booths were placed around to entertain people. After a small waiting period, the contestants got in position. There were some small miscommunications, causing a huge fuss over people being too far over the line. . luckily it was eventually resolved after a load of arguing, and the police got involved.

─┉┈◈◉◈┈┉─┉┈◈◉◈┈┉─┉┈◈◉◈┈┉─ Good day Karakura! Sorry for taking so long to post this report. Today, this article will be about the trashing of another tunnel. One night, a group of delinquents going by the title ‘Adobansu’ went to the tunnel between the Power Plant and Apartment Complex H. They wore all black clothes with masks, made their way into the tunnel, sprayed their logo and name on the wall, destroyed the walls of the tunnel, and vandalized a truck that was broken down there, now a symbol of their cause. At first, this group seemed to only be delinquents wanting to cause mischief, but upon closer inspection to their sprays and overall organization of this event, they are very clearly a gang, wanting to make their mark and...

Hello there Karakura, in today's report we will be examining one of Karakura’s most infamous structures. The Zen Garden! Smack dab in the middle of the Akihito Estate and the Saiky estate lies a beautiful garden filled with captivating greenery, zen ponds, and many traditional Japanese buildings.

Hello civilians of Karakura, today I have brought you a report investigating the abandoned powerplant, right here in the corner of Karakura! As everyone knows, the powerplant hasn’t been given the best reputation, there is much that supposedly goes on here. I’ve taken it amongst myself to heavily investigate the criminal hangout spot. From afar, the structure looks entirely run down. If it weren’t so well-known, you’d never expect this formerly closed-off area to be riddled with violent crime. Let’s take a closer look. From the very minute I arrived, I was met with a large quantity of masked youth. . It didn’t take very long for them to notice my presence. I blinked and suddenly, I was surrounded by a mass amount of probably...

─┉┈◈◉◈┈┉─┉┈◈◉◈┈┉─┉┈◈◉◈┈┉─ Good day citizens of Karakura. Jin Kuroki here! I hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far! Today, we have an article about Shintoism, the Monastery, and the new Karakura Shinto Preservation Foundation. First off, we have a little bit about Shintoism, from one of the Mikos themselves. ─┉┈◈◉◈┈┉─┉┈◈◉◈┈┉─┉┈◈◉◈┈┉─ Shintoism Shintoism is a polytheistic religion based around the Kami, which are the gods in Shintoism. The real meaning of Kami is spirit, but calling them gods makes it easier. The main point of Shintoism is pure versus impure. Izanagi is the Kami that created the earth and everything in it. Izanami is his wife and did similar things. Chiharu-Yamatsumi is the Kami for our shrine in Karakura. The...

July 14, 2022 Barbatos Archon Hello Karakura! Barbatos here with an interview report about the recent reconstruction project of the Tōge Tunnel with our new Deputy Mayor Kiyoko Akai! Here I asked her a series of questions about why this project was made, and what was the idea behind it, as well as providing my own opinion on it! - - - - - - - - - - - [!] The voice recording would start, both Barbatos’ and Kiyoko’s voices clear [!] - - - - - - - - - - - “ahem so, hello everyone!

Kiyoko would clear her throat before...

11/07/22 Umeda Kame, Senior Reporter Yesterday was a big day for the Karakura government! The elections for Deputy-Mayor had been counted and announced.

─┉┈◈◉◈┈┉─┉┈◈◉◈┈┉─┉┈◈◉◈┈┉─ Good day citizens of Karakura. Jin Kuroki here. Today, we have a report about the recent raid of judge Yui Tsu and her daughter, Fei Tsu’s home. A mysterious group broke into the home of the judge, and completely desecrated the interior. The two were then assumed to be physically assaulted and abducted from their home. Afterwards, they were recorded in an undisclosed location. This part is where it gets gruesome. Viewer discretion is advised. I was able to make contact with the group that organized this raid, and set up a meeting to get to the bottom of the events that occurred. I was also able to record the meeting, and it will be attached to the post. I will also share the transcript of the interview...

Hayes v. KPD; The court system revamped Updated July 6th 2022 GMT Hello Karakura! It’s Tatsuo Terusuno reporting to the townspeople once more on a beautiful day like this. I had the great opportunity to sit in on one of hopefully many cases to come, in a newly revamped court system. One that minimizes the resources used within the town hall, and a system that gives the citizens, free and incarcerated, a chance to have a bigger voice. The case today upon the stands today was Jaymore Hayes v. KPD. Jaymore Hayes was arrested under the charge of minor illegal weaponry, after being caught supposedly throwing a pocket knife during a chase. Hayes pleaded not guilty, and was held for four months until his case was brought up. Hayes began...

Greetings, citizens of Karakura. Just a few days ago, Japan celebrated the yearly Tanabata Festival. To some the holiday may seem like just another festival, however there is a much greater meaning. As often taught in schools, Tanabata originated from the Chinese Qixi Festival. What does this mean, you may ask? Below will be an elaboration on what the celebration truly is about, and what impact it may hold even in current day. Tanabata, also referred to as the ‘star festival’, is celebrated on the seventh day of the seventh month. This is due to the old Chinese legend of Orihime and Hikoboshi. Long ago, there was a kingdom in the sky, neighboring the Milky Way. Within this kingdom lived Princess Orihime, who weaved day and night to...

July 6, 2022 Barbatos Archon Good day, Karakura! I am Barbatos Archon here with a report regarding people’s opinions on the Akihito Family. With the recent events such as the riots last month, to the more recent ones with the Deputy Mayor elections, I’ve interviewed highschool students, college students, and adults about their thoughts on the family. The majority of the interviewed people decided to keep themselves anonymous, so please respect them in what their opinions are and especially those who decide to reveal who they are. - - - - - - - - - - - [!] A voice recording would start to play, Barbatos’ voice clear while the other muffled [!] - - - - - - - - - - - "Well then.. what is your opinion on the Akihito family?"...

A look into the eye of foot fungus Updated July 4th 2022 GMT Hey’a Karakura, It’s Tatsuo Terusuno once again. Today, I come to report on a more serious topic. Fungal disease is something that affects billions of people in the world, but today we’ll be focusing on one out of the many forms fungal infections take, foot fungus. The form of this fungal disease infects millions across the country every single year, sometimes even being chronic. I had the honor of talking to one of Karakura’s own students to let her speak on her very own experience with foot fungus! I’ll cut to the chase and let you in on Kolva Isao’s experience. TT: When did you first discover your foot fungus? KI: Hmmm… Well, it was when I was real little- back when...

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Disclaimer that not all the restaurants will have a rating due to not opening. In a world as bleak as this, food can bring people together or maybe make you feel a bit better about yourself. Listen, this will likely be my most lighthearted news article about something that is very deep-rooted in my family. So now I’m going to harshly critique your restaurants to see if it’s up to standard. Spoiler warning, it’s not the greatest outcome! Most of the restaurants in Karakura don’t actually open, and that means most people sadly end up eating fast food. Or, if you have a good family, you have home cooking. Regardless, restaurants are important and Karakura is a barren wasteland...

30/06/22 Umeda Kame, Senior Reporter Here I am again with another election related report! As a follow up to the one Terusuno’s report, I’m here to get political! My favorite.. On the 29th, Governor Malachi Moralez hosted a football game as one of his events for this election. Who was playing? Well, it was Spartans V Adults! During this, the Spartans won, obviously. For concessions, there was a stand run by Zara Zabroda, Karakura’s very own Cheer captain! These were held for snacks while you watched the game! After the match, Moralez held a Q & A for the citizens to ask him questions about what he was running for. A few of them were about the families in power around town, a few about schooling, and some for cops and the death of...
