17/02/22 Tomochin Taikan and Meikan Masuo Hey guys! Meikan here. I'm finally back from my short break. Hopefully, you didn't miss me, haha! Today, myself and Tomochin have finished working on the report about Valentine's Day! Hope you enjoy readin' our precious work! To start off, I will be discussing the history of Valentine's Day and why it is celebrated. Saint Valentine was a third-century Roman saint, who is commemorated in Western Christianity on the 14th of February (or the 6th of June for eastern orthodoxy). The day named after him is a day for courtly love. If you didn’t know, St. Valentine worked as a clergyman, being a priest alongside that who ministered Christians who were persecuted. The rules set by the Roman Empire...

Today I’m giving you guys a little insight on his thoughts and opinions about things. As well as a few personal questions! U.K: "Cool cool!" Pressed the red button on her phone screen. She placed her phone on the side of the couch. "Kay, Soo... What's ya full name and formal position and stufff...?""

Or is it like, sup'a dup'a easy." Y.S: "Well . . . I can feel that the role of Commissioner has heavily restricted my movement in the force to...

Special greetings, Hope this short piece of hearsay finds you well! Rosalie Martin reporting. Here’s the divulge on Karakura’s growing homeless problem Introduction As you amble through the city, you’ll often come by makeshift huts and rain covers. Homes lacking a roof, many unable to maintain heat in the winter months. Roaming the city's many alleyways, small fires can also be found alongside wooden shelters as people's only way of keeping warm. Families of all different numbers sleeping in the various alleyways with no place to call their own. Many of Karakura’s average citizens pass by these places without concern shielded from the struggles these people face. The housing problem within Karakura is a true issue, seeming as...

7/2/2022 Umeda Kame Yesterday I had the privilege of attending a private funeral for the deaths of Reizo Tokushima, Paola Kodama, and Andre Sakurako. The event began with both EMS and officers dressed in their formal wear, and in a neat line; High rank -> Lowest Rank. The commissioner briefly departed with the hospital director, in search of a fitting sight for the funeral. After that, the two returned to gather their faction members. There was also an appearance from Mayor Alex Koji. We made our way to the site, and the commissioner started it off with a lovely speech about each of the fallen... After the speech, he allowed members of the force to give speeches. Here is a list of all who spoke about them, from what I remember...

31/01/2022 Umeda Kame Yesterday was a tragic loss for the city of Karakura. Leading to the events that have happened, I’ll get into them in a few. Police Commissioner Reizo Tokushima, K115 had passed away in an all-out shoot-off with Metagarou Tachitsu, an ex-mercenary, and ex-Kishi lead. This gunfight resulted in both of their deaths. Let's jump into how the brawl began, and the events following it. The whole situation began when Tachitsu scaled the side of the KPD, going to the roof of the station in an attempt to hijack a helicopter, in the hope of most likely fleeing the country due to not being able to go through normal airports. Just as he started taking off, Tokushima ran up and hopped onto the helicopter, and began their...

01 February 2022 Mami Mio Happy February everyone! Wonder what is in the stars for you today? I have consulted an expert in astrology, myself, to uncover what is in store for everyone today. Aquarius This month, you will be handed a major challenge. While it may be hard for you to refrain from proving to others how great you are, you may want to turn down the opportunity. Show people that you know where your priorities belong. It matters! Pisces February is going to be a passive month for you. For this month, let everything take its natural course, try your best not to interfere with the plans of the universe. This is a month for you to sit back and experience things as they happen. Things are all going to work out. Aries February...

22/01/2022 TOMOCHIN TAIKAN Happy Friday, Karakura! Recently, there’s been a lot of negativity in the media due to sudden gang attacks or tough court cases. The city as a whole has suffered a lack of positive influence recently. We’re turning a new page as we enter February, the name literally stems from “to cleanse” - so, let’s do exactly that! I went around the city, asking people how they cope healthily when things get tough, and what advice they would give to others. Feel free to take any of these tips or call the number at the bottom of this report if you’d like to respond or give your own opinion! [IZUKE.MP4] > [TT] “First off, do you feel comfortable giving your name?” “Yes, I am. Do you want my full name?” [TT] “First name...

[ Flipping to the next page, you're greeted by a long editorial, the big banner being at the top of the page. The newspaper was fresh, just being put on your doorstep, the odd "book smell" accompanying the bland black-and-white paper. Skimming through the paragraphs you start to notice the mention of kidnappings. .others quoting-- sewage workers. . ? ] SHOPPING DISTRICT SEWAGE TUNNELS JANUARY 29TH, 2022 29 days into the New Year, two gangs, known as Kanto Manji-Kai and Akuma Shidan, waged war on one another, the most recent attack taking place in one of Karakura’s underground sewage maintenance buildings. The small corridor in the sewers is directly below the shopping district. Old offices, meetings rooms, and even a cafeteria are...

February 1 2022 Rosalie Martin here, updating on the latest! Bear sightings have significantly increased as of recently. However with the rising sightings, so do the attacks. The Grizzly Bears are known for their thick beautiful brown fur with silvery tips, large paws, and a dished concave face. The grizzlies are found in various places around the world. Their diet is mostly made up of fish, berries, and nuts, the Grizzlies most likely found their way here in Karakura to scavenge the forest, and scrounge up what goodies are leftover from the campsite. Popular among many cultures, Bears have made influences as inspiration for cartoon characters, Symbols, and much more. Bears also play an important part in ecosystems as a Keystone...

22/01/2022 TOMOCHIN TAIKAN Hello Karakura, this is Tomochin Taikan with breaking news for you all today. Over the last month or so there has been a rise in gang activity from the infamous “KISHI”, a gang led by Metagarou Tachitsu - a runaway from the police. Let me give you a brief recount of the recent events regarding the gang: On the 29th December, 2021 Metagarou Tachitsu had become an officially wanted man. He was a convicted gang leader who fled from the Karakura Police Department upon being brought back for an interrogation with DSI Ernesto Martinez. The ambulance carrying him toward the local hospital was ambushed by Kishi gang members, who successfully helped Tachitsu escape. Metagarou was later captured by the police force...

20/01/22 Meikan Masuo Hi, Karakura. Sorry that this report took so long to make. It's been five days since the event at the town hall and my goal in mind was to give people enough information to create their own opinion on the situation, albeit the lack of controversy that the court case and resolve actually had. I hope you enjoy this report, it took me a lot of effort and a couple of sleepless nights to complete. Anyway, let's get started. It all started when two individuals, seemingly the girl's friends, filed a court case against Bao Koji for attacking his niece, Saeko Koji. For some undisclosed reason, the two plaintiffs claimed to have dropped out, causing the case to also drop. Ernesto Martinez, who, in the mind of a detective...

16/01/22 Umeda Kame For those who don't know, or have been living under a rock. Kishi Division is a highly deadly gang that causes havoc and pain across the town of Karakura. Their lead, Metagarou Tachitsu, is a mercenary that took the lead of this gang not too long ago. Tachitsu recently escaped prison, with the help of his gang while being escorted to the hospital to seek treatment for injuries. During that raid to free Tachitsu, Kishi took hostage Malachi Moralez, their leverage in this whole situation. From there, he’s been hiding out in an unknown location while the rest of his gang were at a stand-still in their base until today. Today, the Karakura police force breached the Kishi Division turf. Using explosives, they blew...

January 19 2022 Rosalie Martin For some time Karakura has been a place full of violence. School teachers face harassment on a daily basis, Hospital staff are under the constant pressure of having the life of many those in their hands. Many of these are children. Even individuals from all around the world arrived in the city of Karakura, their first experiences being unjust. Daniel Lacrosse, a 36-year-old art teacher at Karakura high school explains the difficulties he faces. “It is for sure an interesting job, I love it. The SLT are some very kind and friendly people, and Co-Workers always try to help you! The thing that makes the job hard, is the students.” School faculty are harassed by students daily. Disrespected in sways...

1/17/2022 Heng Yu Goodmorning Karakura! it's been a long week but we're finally here. Today we're going to interview a very young entrepreneur and creator of Karakura's first charity. ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── HY: Alright. First, we'll start off with your name and occupation. SG: I'm Self Aldridge Garcia and I work at lightning electronics and am the proud owner of Qing.

1/15/2022 Heng Yu I've been stalling on this report for a long time ever since I heard the news. I was shocked myself just hearing about it. Just a few days ago Sakuta Hanazono was reported to be murdered. We talk about this and what he left behind. ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Sakuta Hanazono was found at the Karakura powerplant with multiple stab wounds and slashes over his body. While we're sure this was a murder, no one knows who did it... like all the other murders that occur in Karakura. His body was then taken to the Karakura Hospital where he was pronounced: dead. There are multiple murder suspects in the picture, two notable ones being the...

15/01/22 Meikan Masuo It took me over a week to plan and decide who to interview, but as soon as I saw that they were open, I sniped an interview with your local bakery shopkeeper, Minari Seo. I have more planned for this series, so stay tuned and of course, enjoy! MM: Hi! What's your name, age and.. whaddaya do?! MS: Hello! My name is Minari Seo, I am 27 years old and I am the prideful owner of Karakura’s local bakery, Koribureku! MM: Sick! Tell me this, Minari. From research, you have labeled Koribureku as a subsidiary of Visage Corporation. Can you tell me why you’ve done this instead of creating your own corporation? MS: That’s quite simple. The Visage Corporation allows me to give the bakery many opportunities and resources...

12/01/2022 Kurabu, Ayaka On the 9th of January, the Spartan ‘Sorofrat’ burned down. As a result of this, it has been replaced with houses! These houses fit the japanese modern style, as the rest of the town houses. These new houses had been purchased by the captains of the Spartan teams! Much like the Bobcat team houses, these houses are used to house the captain and the team members as a way for them to bond and interact under the same roof! The inside of these houses have been decorated and furnished by the teams, making each one unique! Also, like their underclassmen teams, they have a basement, which is where most of the rooms are!

11/01/2022 Tomochin Taikan It has been two days since the College tragedy, where a school-owned property housing a multitude of college students, otherwise known as Spartans, burned down to the ground after an unexpected fire. The “Spartan Household” formerly known as two separate Fraternity and Sorority houses was accommodation for students in both upper and lower college years. It housed primarily students on teams, being iconic in it’s past for being a home sweet home for the college football and cheer teams. Generations of Spartans came and left, with the council of the buildings hosting many parties and other events such as rush weeks in true Fraternity and Sorority fashion. It was modern and uncommon in a small city such as...

09/01/2022 Tomochin Taikan A fire has started within the city, and the source is none other than the local college's joint Fraternity and Sorority house; otherwise known as the Spartan household. The flames are yet to be controlled, yet this is the second fire-related incident within the past 7 days. The cause of the fire is unknown, but whatever caused it has created sheer uproar. The contents of the house were extremely flammable, setting the whole house ablaze. It is unknown how many people are inside of the house, nor their condition - but we can expect authorities and EMS to be on-scene soon. It is heavily recommended that everyone living within the vicinity or passing by LEAVES the area immediately and does not interrupt with...
