Did you know that 13% of all fires that happen worldwide are deliberate? That’s an estimated 210,300 fires per year that people wanted to start – and the recent fire in Karakura may be no different! Though, we’ll look at the facts and figures before delving into any theories. On an unsuspecting Friday morning, at roughly 3:30am GMT+9 [IC Time], smoke began to drift upward from behind the brand new Shōtengai, where the new mansions are set to be built. That new building site, gone up in flames… Only a few members of the public stumbled upon it initially, but soon enough, groups of civilians began pouring into the area. And with groups being near the carnage, injury was soon to follow. From accidental burns from fire licking up at...

Have you ever noticed the lack of traffic lights and clear speed limits in the streets of Karakura? In mainland Japan, traffic lights are usually installed at intersections in order to regulate traffic flow, regardless of how populated the area is. After a very in-depth search across Karakura, I noted a grand total of zero traffic lights in the entire city, which is highly uncommon. Obviously, this could be attributed to the lack of consistent traffic in the city, but it’s still unusual. Alongside this distinct lack of traffic lights, there also aren’t any safe school and pedestrian crossings around the city! Usually, you’d find buttons on busy roads, connected to traffic lights, that will stop traffic so that pedestrians can safely...

A couple of days ago, the skies became more cloudy than usual. Karakura is known to be an area with frequent rainfall almost every day, so it was normal for a couple of hours until it seemed to have lasted longer than expected. The wind began to blow hard and the drizzle began. It wasn't until a broadcast transmitted by the News Station about leaving their homes that people began to show some concern. After a couple of hours the rain came down faster, accompanied by lightning and thunder. Another broadcasting was transmitted, instructing citizens to evacuate to a nearby workers building in case of emergency. It is not surprising that many people have evacuated to these areas, as they are considered safer. However, some were...

If one pays attention to it, you may have noticed that as of late it’s usually cloudy skies and rainy, the streets usually having puddles littered across them and the dirt turned to mud. Why has the weather lately been so filled of rain? There could be two answers to this depending on what you believe, there is the spiritual aspect but also the scientific and geological reasonings. In Japan from the month of May to July depending on your region, the country experiences what many call Tsuyu season, named ‘Plum Rain’ due to its timing along with the harvest of plums. Due to our islands more southern location, Karakura’s Tsuyu season typically stretches from early May to late June or early July. The reason rain heavily occurs during this...

The Most Common Crimes in Karakura. A report written by; Karasuya Saiky When most people hear about the most common crimes in many other places, they think of breaking and entering, robbery, common thievery, little things. But here in our little town, the crimes we tend to hear about, the crimes that KPD have to deal with, the crimes that the citizens of Karakura witness, tend to be a bit more- darker. Messier. After speaking to many of those who have witnessed, or even KPD officers of what they believe are the most common crimes, you’d be shocked with what I’ve heard. I mean, even I was shocked with how common these are! Coming to the top five of the most common crimes, and starting at number five, is Street Racing...

A few days ago, a sudden crash was heard right on the town hall what turned out to be a car that crashed right beside it, affecting the town hall’s walls leaving a possible immittent fire. Thanks to the police, this fire was avoided and the car was removed from the area. Prior to this collision, a couple of cars appeared to have been racing and on their way, an oversight caused one of them to crash into the town hall. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries, but some witnesses mention the presence of a man who fled the scene at the time of the collision. The crash left a hole in the wall and the car was also damaged by the impact. Thanks to the promptness of the Karakura Police Department, the fire could be avoided, and thanks to...

DELINQUENCY By Fia Baudelaire | Karakura News Hello, readers. This is Fia Baudelaire writing to you from my office in the Karakura News Station. The rain's tapping against the windows tonight - fitting, given the topic at hand. Delinquency. It's a word tossed around like candy in our town. But what does it actually mean in the context of Karakura? Who decides when a student becomes a "delinquent"? And are we, as a community, paying close enough attention to the why behind the behaviour? Today, in this report, we'll go into a deep dive - a candid look into the cracks in our social fabric, where the majority of our youth are slipping through. In this report, I'll be interviewing students, the local law enforcement and a psychiatrist to...

Believe it or not, the city of Karakura Japan, located in the small nook of the Kohaku Mountain ranges is actually made up of twelve districts like many normal cities. These districts each have their own unique features and, key elements, some places are more frequented by the citizens then others, and some are defined by key landmarks. Places like the Ochiba Forest and the Karakura Plaza are some of their own stand alone. In this report I’ll be diving into each of these districts and mentioning something that stands out about them, if they’re popular places to visit and what to expect from many of these places. The list of Karakura’s districts from the official documents of Karakura are; Karakura Plaza Karakura High School and...

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ We gather ourselves on the cusp of a new season of Karakura, changes going underway to make room for spring—the once frost nipped air being filled with pollen and a nice spring breeze. However, whilst there are plenty of changes, some things never change. What I’m referring to is those that scamper the streets, blacked out figures going bump into the night. Likely to leave a chill to any Karakurian— In this article, we are once more covering the crime in Karakura, although it’s less than anything new. Multiple accounts of varying degrees of violence, property damage, and more—has gone back dating even decades. Criminals make it difficult to even leisurely enjoy the...

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Deep within the dark crevices of our town are the darkest secrets, ones that are often flaunted by those that behold them. For as long as Karakura has existed, so too has its criminal underworld that thrives on and off. Many residents of each generation may be able to recall seeing those in dark attire and metal masks, or perhaps a victim of their escapades. This will be an article focusing on the various hideouts that are sprinkled throughout the city that harbor crime and violence, something that hasn’t been openly seen for a few years now. Small territories that ring the bell to command bloodshed for who owns it and is thus the...
