lucathiaTook me weeks to play this. These few weeks have been busy, but Akutsu has kept me company. XD; His path was pretty amusing. He hates orders, so you're given a lot of choices where you can either order him or ask in a way that doesn't order him. I always chose the latter, but I wonder what would have happened if I tried to order him to do something. XD; He probably would've hated that.
Minami starts things off, but sadly he's not available to play for, or else I would have gone for Minami buchou! He does show up a few times on the screen with amusing scenes that you can watch, but that was it.
It's been a while since I've played the beginning of Akutsu's path, so my memory's really fuzzy.
I don't know why Shiraishi ended up helping out at Yamabuki (Chitose at Fudoumine makes sense since Tachibana is there. Kintarou at Seigaku makes sense since Ryoma is there. But Shiraishi...at Yamabuki??) Shiraishi does have some dialogue with Minami though, and that was amusing. I think Shiraishi remembered that Minami was the buchou and part of doubles, but Shiraishi still couldn't remember Minami's name. He got it mixed up...something like Minamikata, haha. (Instead of Higashikata)
In a later scene, Minami approaches Shiraishi and asks him stuff like, "You know how we're both captains, right?" (Shiraishi agrees) "And we both focus on the basics." (Shiraishi agrees that basics are important) "But why are we so different?" XDDD POOR MINAMI. ;___; Basics can be cool too!! I don't think it's your tennis style that makes you uncool. :'D Shiraishi advises Minami to think of some special technique. Minami asks Shiraishi if he has one. Shiraishi answers that he won't reveal his until Nationals.
Minami also has a scene with Jackal, the two forgotten characters! ;__; They complain with each other about their teammates (Sengoku, Kirihara, and I think Akutsu and Marui. I don't remember) and about being forgotten. I wish both of them were playable. ;___;
Akutsu SKIPS a lot. You're always off somewhere trying to find him. During one of his absences, Sengoku signs Akutsu up for drums even though Akutsu wasn't there. XD; Dan's alarmed, but Sengoku explains that it'll be fine since Kawamura will be there. Akutsu wants to skip out on the entire festival, but Sengoku says Banji said that he never received Akutsu's withdrawal, so he's still a member of the club and required to participate. (I don't see how this would force Akutsu to stay, but he does, haha)
Yamabuki decides to do monja for their stand. Shiraishi has never done monja before, but Sengoku says he'll teach everyone. Akutsu doesn't think he needs teaching.
When all of you gather together to learn how to make monja, Akutsu takes the ingredients and pours them roughly ALL AT ONCE. You kind of watch in amazement. The end result tastes pretty good, but his style is rough, and Shiraishi adds that he has lots of unnecessary movements. Sengoku then shows everyone how monja is usually done. He measures out the right amounts, draws a circle with his flour, pours the ingredients in, etc. The end result is even more delicious. All of you praise Sengoku and mention that you'll be rewatching the recorded video of how he made monja to learn. Akutsu is not amused. He leaves. :'D
The next time, the same thing happens! Akutsu is always so aggressive and never backs down from a challenge. XD; You suggest that Yamabuki should add okonomiyaki to their monja stand. Shiraishi says he knows how to make okonomiyaki, so he'll teach everyone. Akutsu says he also knows, but since Shiraishi knows, he's not needed. (But somehow, he gets challenged into showing everyone how to make okonomiyaki). Like with the monja, Akutsu goes all out and pours everything at once. Shiraishi takes his time and measures everything carefully. Shiraishi's ends up much better. Akutsu goes off to sulk again. :'D
The same thing happens with drums. XD; Tachibana tries to show everyone how to play the drums correctly. Akutsu goes, "Che, what's there to learn?" He takes the sticks and beats the drums, but the noise doesn't sound that great. Tachibana does it next, and his sound is AWESOME. Akutsu is not amused, but he gets told that natural talent doesn't cover for everything.
I talked to Shiraishi quite a lot. Shiraishi, like Kin-chan, mentions the comedy festival at Shitenhouji that's held during the first week of school. He also mentions that all three of them (Chitose, Kintarou, and him) have failed the preliminaries. That's why they're free to be here. (Haha, them fail, really? Well, maybe Koharu won it)
I saw the Shiraishi + Kintarou scene with the poison arm again. One of Shiraishi's special topics is "poison arm". I asked him about it. He said something like, "Now that you know about this poison arm, I can't let you live!" XD; He threatened her! She was kind of...stunned and couldn't really tell if he was joking (he was).
Shiraishi also identifies a poisonous plant to you. He finds one (you ask him if it should be disposed of). Shiraishi says that this plant is endangered and very rare in the city, so he wants to find another place to plant it. What a plant lover!
I don't remember much other Shiraishi scenes, but before the swimming contest, I went up to talk to him...and she asked him about his bandages. Whether he was going to take them off. He went, "Of course!" (Dare we think he'll be normal??) But then he added right after, "I'll be changing them to waterproof bandages." LOL.
Sengoku, I don't remember the scenes for. Just that I ran into him with Momo and then him with Tezuka. The first time, Sengoku and Momo talk about their match. Sengoku talks about how luck is always with him, etc. Momo agrees that Sengoku is lucky, but he also tells Sengoku that he's good because he has real skill. Sengoku cringes and says that hearing a compliment from a guy isn't that fun. Momo agrees.
When Sengoku meets Tezuka, Sengoku talks about luck again, but Tezuka mentions that Sengoku puts in a lot of effort too. Sengoku is again in a pinch (seems like he doesn't like to appear as if he's putting in a lot of effort).
I sadly don't remember any of Dan's scenes. :'D And yet he was the second highest person, or at least, he was the person who tried to obstruct Akutsu, ahahahaha.
Anyway, back to Akutsu. Akutsu doesn't like getting ordered around, but he sure has no qualms ordering people around! My character was pretty persistent and kept going after him until he caved. He said something like how she was just as annoying as Dan. She comments on how he's actually very caring.
When his affection rate is high enough for him to ask for your phone number, he doesn't ask like a normal person. XD; Instead, he shoves his cell phone in your face and goes, "How do you add someone's number in?" You're confused, but then he orders you to add a number in because he learns best through having an example. You wonder what number you should put in then. He says you should just use yours. XD; Akutsu is not sneaky at all, haha.
When he asks you out, he also does it by ordering you. "Tomorrow, 10:00." He doesn't even give you a chance to refuse! You go anyway. He shows up early (in civilian clothes for me). He asks you where you want to go. You answer "zoo". He thinks you're such a kid, but you go anyway. At the zoo, you watch the lions, tigers, etc. You wonder which one's stronger. Akutsu answers that the one that wins is stronger (lol, he would fit in at Shitenhouji). It doesn't matter if its a lion, a tiger, or a rabbit. You go, rabbit!? Akutsu answers, yeah, rabbit. You think rabbits can't win? XD;
Akutsu the rabbit supporter! XD;
When I chose the food topic, Akutsu and the girl talked about an okonomiyaki store and also about a cake store, I think. You tell him that you don't want to go by yourself. You ask him to accompany you. He agrees reluctantly. (and actually goes with you)
The next date, you go to the amusement park and go on high rides. Akutsu comments once again that you're such a kid.
The crisis that befalls Yamabuki isn't an earthquake or lack of materials. Banji falls sick, so half of Yamabuki hurries to the hospital (this half doesn't even show up normally, haha). Anyway, Yamabuki is short on hands, so you won't be able to finish in time! You go to Atobe to ask him to extend the hours. He gives you less time than you would like, but Atobe just shakes his head and says, "Don't underestimate Yamabuki." He then talks about how the members will be coming back from the hospital soon. With everything there, you should finish decorating the monja stand in time.
Oh, and did I mention that Akutsu and Kaidou get into a fight? :'D Kaidou is getting into all kinds of fights with everyone! I don't remember what this fight was about.
Akutsu is fairly jealous...when he sees you with Sengoku, he bristles. XD;
Akutsu also runs into Ryoma, but they have fairly decent interaction. You ask Akutsu about the Seigaku 1st year. Akutsu tells you that he already had the best tennis game of his life. You reply that you wish you could have seen it, but he asks you if you wanted to see him lose. You reply that you just wanted to see him play tennis.
During Day 1 of the festival, we get to see Akutsu with the rest of the people on drums:
I went back and screencapped everyone:
After the drums, Akutsu went around with the girl. I visited Kawamura at the goldfish stand. He didn't say anything all that special to Akutsu. I visited Yagyuu at the sweets stand. He asks after Akutsu and tennis. Akutsu replies that he's not playing tennis anymore. He already got all he can out of tennis, etc etc. Yagyuu calls hima dog who's running away with his tail between his legs a sore loser. :'D But in the next sentence, he tries inviting you into the sweets stand. (LIKE ANYONE WOULD AFTER YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT)
The drums wins the competition and all that. XD
On the second day of the festival, you suggest that the monja stand do some kind of takeaway to up your sales. Everyone thinks it's a good idea. After that, you go around the festival with Akutsu again. I don't remember if this was the 2nd or 1st day, but you visit Seigaku's cafe with Akutsu. Ryoma challenges Akutsu, saying that their menu is very deadly. Akutsu scoffs and takes the challenge. When you're inside the cafe, Akutsu orders Inui's special juice.
DUN DUN DUN.
The color is a murky, brownish green, but Akutsu doesn't back down from the challenge. He drinks in in one gulp.
And faints right away.
You're super alarmed and start pelting Ryoma with questions about whether Akutsu would be all right. Ryoma's not worried. Akutsu wakes up pretty soon and notices that you're crying. He also notices that he feels lighter. Ryoma says that it's because Inui's juice is an energy drink.
Haha, Akutsu. You just have to take on ALL the challenges. XD;
Yamabuki's monja stand wins the competition. Oh, and I forgot to mention that Akutsu ordered from the start that you're supposed to go around the school festival with him. XD;
He pulls you away from the campfire and says, "Hey, be my woman."
Ahahaha. You go, !!??? And you question whether he's all right being in a relationship with someone he doesn't like. He then says that he never said he didn't like you. You keep trying to make him elaborate. He finally admits that he likes you, and you tell him you like him too.
The credits roll~
After the credits, you're at some sweets shop with Akutsu. He's such a big softie. You coerce all these things out of him. Much too sappy to remember, haha.
Minami starts things off, but sadly he's not available to play for, or else I would have gone for Minami buchou! He does show up a few times on the screen with amusing scenes that you can watch, but that was it.
It's been a while since I've played the beginning of Akutsu's path, so my memory's really fuzzy.
