The Akihito Scandals is a 4-event catastrophe that slammed the Akihito family during the end of October and beginning of November, starting with the death of "Mike" Akihito following the November 2022 North-Western Karakura powerplant explosion. The explosion led to the fall of the Akihito clan, dragging along with it the Akihito family name. As a man at the time who slowly came to lose his cares about reputation, Katsuhito was slandered and stepped on by Karakura. That marked the cherry on top for Katsuhito being careless of reputation and more of his own ideals. When Mike's funeral came along, Katsuhito attempted to give a speech at the funeral only to have everyone kicked out of the church due to Sage Soda. Running away from his cousin, Katsuhito was stopped by his aunt and father, and as he was escorted to the Akihito Estate, the three Akihitos faced an unforeseen scene: Hiroto Akihito was pinned to the ground. Panicking, Katsuhito dashed to his grandfather, whilst a gun fell before him. Picking it up, Katsuhito ▇▇▇▇▇▇ the ▇▇▇ to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. He was immediately apprehended by Aoi and Shiroi Akihito and was escorted away yet again. An hour after the event, Katsuhito stood in public as he saw his grandfather prosecuted for his alleged crimes, which shattered him.
