#big five

So I got into the mood of making these translations again, and figured I could also do those for the rest of the Big 5 (Gakushuu's part is already done.) The rest of them are here in one go as they all had only one page each. There isn't really much new info at all (except maybe about Seo's ears), but whatever. ^^ The usual drill, let me know if you spot mistakes etc etc etc

Araki Teppei - the newscaster virtuoso

Head of the broadcasting club

“If you can’t see this, you will be left behind in the society, you know?”

Thorns hidden beneath the gentle appearance

Although he looks like a good-natured honors student, he is an unconsciously bullying type whose words have thorns growing around them. Despite that, perhaps because of the influence of his journalist father, he is a compassionate person who wants to work in the mass media in the future to protect socially vulnerable people.

Images:

“E class’s Kimura is just standing there! You look uncool if you don’t at least swing the bat!”

“I’m sorry but we’ve forgotten the E class's copies. Please memorize it all before you go.”

The heavy atmosphere at the school assembly became instantly cheerful after Araki’s tasteful/conceited joke. [the joke is described as 小粋 in Japanese. This has two meanings: 1) stylish; smart; chic; tasteful, and 2) conceited; cheeky. Pick your favorite?]

In front of the mic, Araki! The prodigy of hosting

Araki graps the mic everywhere, whether it’s about a school assembly or providing live commentary at a sports festival, and never lets go of it. His smooth delivery and flowing style has been dubbed “the Araki style” and he seems to have many fans and secret admirers.

Matsui-sensei's behind the scenes data

His father is a head journalist for a major newspaper, and Araki is fully carrying on that pride and information power. He has a gentle manner, but is consistently cold toward those who are inferior to him or oppose him. [I assume "information power" refers to the ability to use it, but I'm not quite sure how to translate that. Information power is what it literally says.]

Sakakibara Ren - the undercut hair virtuoso

Secretary of the student council

“So, let’s study until beautiful words fill your arteries”

[...I genuinely would rather say fill your heart, but arteries is what it says]

A playboy for women with both intelligence and beauty

With beautiful features and elegant and noble refinement, he is one of the popular elite who has overwhelming support from Kunugigaoka’s female students. His scholarly ability is also top class, just below Asano Gakushuu, and it seems that the usually stingy heaven has bestowed him not just one but two or three gifts.

A hair style and language sense beyond ordinary understanding

However, heaven did not give him everything, and this gap is seen in his eccentric hairstyle and long-winded theatrical elocution. About 70-80% of his conversation consists of adjectives that are not really necessary, making it pointlessly long. Still, it’s very popular among some girls.

Images:

“If you only criticize, you will overlook things, Koyama. Even in a garbage dump like this, there is a crane.”

“In this school, grades are everything. Those who are lower have no right to speak to those above them.”

Sakakibara shows an abnormal obsession with cuticles. If you’re not an ikemen, you’ll be arrested.

[Cuticles. I don't know. Again, that’s what it says.]

Matsui-sensei's behind the scenes data

Because his family is wealthy it has made several donations to Kunugigaoka academyy, and his status within the school is high in terms of academic ability, financial power, and popularity among the opposite sex. Because of this lack of inferiority, he is one of the few people who can talk to Asano on relatively equal terms. As for the number of girls he has been with, he surpasses Maehara and ranks first in the school.

Koyama Natsuhiko - the demon of memorization virtuoso

Head of the biology club

“Cram like your life depends on it!! For middle and high school science, memorization alone is enough!!”

Academic ability stronger than communication skills

Because of his appearance and quite twisted personality, Koyama had very few friends. As a reaction to that he single-mindedly devoted himself to studying, and that resulted with him becoming one of the five virtuosos and a respected figure in the school. “It’s fine even if I don’t have communication skills,” he thinks.

The splendid metamorphosis of a spring-colored papillon

When Koyama was in the first year of middle school, a hooligan in the same class made fun of him and used him as an errand boy. Using that frustration as nourishment, the repulsive Koyama grew rapidly and became one of the five virtuosos. Consequently, he is very harsh towards the E class.

[The character book doesn't specify who Koyama's bully was, but it's generally thought to have been Terasaka. It's been too long since I read the manga, I don't remember if it was explicitly mentioned there... but in that following image about throwing stones, he seems to be talking to Terasaka. That would certainly explain why Koyama hates 3E so much.]

Image:

Koyama: Don’t talk back, impertinent girl. Besides, your glasses make you look unsophisticated Kishishishi huh, Araki Araki: He... hey Koyama...

For some reason, when he gets excited, people around him get down. Why is that?

Images:

Koyama: I’m looking forward to it~ The day when I’ll throw stones at you who fell into the E class.

Araki: It seems that last time was just a fluke after all. Asano Gakushuu Total score: 493 points Overall rank: 1st

Matsui-sensei's behind the scenes data

Until the second year of middle school, he was a gloomy and dreary bookworm, but with Asano Gakushuu’s advice, “with your strengths, you can look down to people and be impressive”, the strong ego hidden within him blossomed.

Seo Tomoya - the LA accent virtuoso

Student council chairman

“Hmph, with that kind of grammar, you’d be a laughingstock in LA where I lived.”

Proud returnee child

Among the extremely strong-willed and individualist virtuosos, he stands out for an especially arrogant attitude and abusive language, adhering to the school’s caste system. He is proud to have lived a year in LA because of his father’s work. He is a little self-conscious about the fact that his ears are placed a little lower than those of an average person.

A too early separation ~ Looking for a good match instead of good marks

The magical title of a virtuoso made even Koyama popular. The same was true for Seo, but there’s a rumor of a loss of effect because of his way too quick separation with Tsuchiya. However, that was only temporary gossip, and now he seems to be getting well along with another female student.

Images:

Seo: Saying stuff like that... didn’t you yesterday come here with Maehara? Tsuchiya: Th-that’s not how it is! This is the first time with you, Seo.

Seo: Is that some dangerous drug? He was taking something suspicious with his lunch.

Seo talks to the exchange student Kevin with overly confident native pronunciation. Assuredly so.

Image: Don’t think everyone can go abroad!!!

Matsui-sensei's behind the scenes data

Even within the A class, he has an exceptionally arrogant personality, and since his grades are also top-class, his nature is unpleasant. He broke up with Tsuchiya Kaho after that incident, and even though they are now distant, they keep on rushing to each other to throw insults at one another – a relationship that is in a way a very close one.

I was asked by @luna-loner if I could make headcanons for the Big Five and here they are I have some catagories where I write for everyone

Other subjects they are good at (I know they all have one subject they are really good at, but I think they have others they at least like more than the rest)

How they react during horror Movies (thought it would be funny)

Their relationship with the others

Something about their family

Asano

•He‘s good at every subject so I don‘t really know what to write

•He‘s just sitting there with a blank expression and isn‘t really Brothers but he is amused when he sees Rens and Arakis reaction but silently remembers not to watch Horror movies with them again

-Ren is the person he trusts most, they knew each other before the group formed, he told Ren about a lot of stuff the other 3 don‘t know about

-He also trusts Araki because he is very calm but he isn‘t talking with him about personal problems

-He knows Koyama is pure chaos and it‘s exhausting he lost count of the amount of times Koyama did something that ended in chaos but he keeps him because he respects his Intelligence (and because he somehow likes Koyama even though he‘d never admit that)

-Is similar with Seo, Seo also does dumb things that don’t end well, most of the time with Koyama but Asano respects him (and likes him) and trusts him to stop when he has to, Asano knows that Seo knows boundaries and Koyama doesn‘t

•His Family is just Gakuho because I think that he is an only child and his Mother died when he was young, this with Ikeda dyind led to his father being the way he is now, Asano never understood why his father was warm and loving the one day and cold and distant the next and after his mothers death he stopped talking to him entirely like a father when he talked it was to scold Asano, telling him he had to try harder or telling him he wasn‘t enough

Ren

•I think he is also good at English, he reads a lot, so maybe he has read some books in English to see the difference to the Japanese version of because the Japanese version wasn’t out yet

•(this may be a bit much but I think he‘s really dramatic when he‘s with his Friends, and I thought it‘s funny). He’s having a complete breakdown, full  on screaming and sobbing and yelling at the characters to do or not to do things (they always do the opposide of what he says and something bad happens what makes him cry even more), Asano had to calm him after the movie (they made fun of him for weeks)

-Asano trusts him, he barely opens up, but if he does it is to Ren

-He and Araki are pretty calm, Ren is sometimes dramatic but that‘s it, so they get along very well and often talk

-He watches out for Koyama to make sure he doesn‘t kill himself on accident (Koyama is pure chaos and probably already set things on fire a few times)

-He and Seo probably fight a lot (well, one of them screams and the other just smirks and continues annoying him) Ren has a thing of cheering his friends up with embarressing Poems (thanks to @luna-loner for that) and guess who doesn‘t like it when he does that? Right, it‘s Seo, at some point Seo just screams at Ren to shut up and Ren smirks and says another Poem, well it kinda works, Seo isn‘t sad anymore but angry, embarressed by the Poems and ready to kill Ren in his sleep

•I think his parents can be a bit strict and have high expectations (but not nearly as bad as Gakuho) but he still has a good relationship with them

-He is an only child

Araki

•I think he‘s also good at Japanese because it‘s about coomunication

•Also scared, not the full breakdown scared but the hiding under the blanked and trembeling scared, he is traumatized and didn’t sleep the whole night, Koyama found him just sitting there and still trembling at two in the morning (he was the only one who didn’t made fun of Ren cause he was just as scared)

-Asano trusts him, not with personal problems like Ren but Asano knows Araki is calm and can handle a lot of things

-Like I already said he and Ren get along well, cause they are both calm

-Araki also watches out for Koyama and always has to tell him not to do things cause he knows it‘s dangerous (Koyama never listens to him and it always ends bad)

-Araki and Seo are good friends and often do things together but Araki has to calm Seo pretty often because he really doesn‘t want his friend to murder someone, luckily Seo listens so Araki most of the time but not always

•I think his parents aren‘t as strict as Rens parents and Gakuho, and he has a really good relationship with them, his Dad often tells him interesting things (his father is reporter for the newspaper)

-And I think he has two older Brothers who constanly bullied him (in a sibling way) when they were younger and still do (Araki hasn’t introduced them to his friends and doesn‘t plan on doing it because he knows his Brother can and will tell some embarressing Stories from when he was younger)

Koyama

•He‘s probably also very good at Maths because it‘s logicial

•He isn‘t really scared of Horror Movies but also not completly unbothered, he sometimes flinches at jumpscares but that’s it (what worried him the most was Araki who he found at two in the Morning still awake and trembling)

-He really respects Asano and Asano respects him but they never do things together without the others

-He really likes Ren and they often talk about books because Koyama likes fantasy (@luna-loner) Koyama is a bit calmer when he‘s with Ren

-Koyama often does things with Araki he knows Araki is trying to protect him, he still never listens to his warnings (on one side he just loves chaos on the other he enjoys seeing Araki almost fainting when something is burning again)

-The person he hangs out with the most is Seo, and it always ends bad, these two are chaos and can‘t be trusted together, it‘s gotten so bad that the other three start to panic when they meet each other because that means Koyama and Seo are together without someone watching them (Araki: what are you two doing here? And where are Koyama and Seo?! Ren: I thought the two were with you! Asano: We have to find them! Ren: (starting to panic). A few seconds later they hear an explosion and screams)

•I think his relationship to his parents is pretty normal but they are often not home so he spends most of his time outside cause he doesn‘t like to be alone all day

•He‘s also an only child

Seo

•I think he‘s good at PE, I can‘t explain it, I just think he is

•He is not that scared of Horror movies, yes, he sometimes flinches but that‘s it, but he was amused by Ren and mocked him for days

-Seo and Asano get along well, Asano doesn‘t really care that Seo can be very rude, as long as his grades stay up and he doesn’t get in serious trouble it doesn‘t matter, Asano thinks Seo is smart enough to know when to stop (Asano doesn‘t think the same about Koyama)

-I already sait it, these two fight a lot, Seo absolutly hates Rens Poems and Ren knows that damn well so he started saying them anytime not just when Seo looks sad, he just likes to annoy cheer up his friend

-He and Araki are good friends, Araki is calm and Seo is the complete opposide of that but it somehow still works between them, they often hang out together, sometimes just the two of them sometimes with Koyama and Seo would never say it out lauf but he really really cares about Araki (he cares about all of his friends but he is protective of Araki, I think that they are childhood friends and Araki used to be very shy that‘s why Seo was very protective what he still is even though Araki can stand up for himself now)

-Koyama, the chaos always starts with a dumb idea coming from Koyama, Seo telling he won’t do that and then Koyama saying something like, you‘re just too scared to do it and it works everytime, that‘s how these two always get in trouble, Seo knows that and still hangs out with Koyama, and it‘s a miracle Koyama wasn‘t killed by Seo yet

•I think his relationship to his parents is similar to Koyamas, they don’t fight but his parents are often not home of emotionally unavailable, so he‘s been alone often when he was younger what led to him doing stupid or dangerous stuff but somehow he never had any serious injuries, what is a miracle cause he the accidents he had definetly were dangerous, how did he even survive all that?! He never told his friend about that because some things were really dumb, but hey, he was a little kid, but Araki knows a few stories cause these two know each other since childhood

INFP: The Insignificant One

An expressionless face

Conceals an ashen face

A bird that couldn't fly

Dreaming of flight but a wingless fly

“Motivation?” Oh, I've heard of that word

But all I want is a peaceful world

INTJ: The Arrogant One

You claim to be death? And you're here to?

Take your life, of course.

Exactly. You're here to die.

Nonsense—

Eradicate what dares to block my path

To mold heavens beneath my path

Circumstances do learn their place

Time itself couldn't match my pace

You're trying to kill my desire

But existence bends towards desire

Some fool claimed to be death

Now can you sense your falling breath?

I do not walk the world. It shapes itself to my footwork.

ALRIGHT things were really hard for me when I was trying to delve into more stuff like Psychosophy and shit BUT I’m pretty sure you alr know 16personalities is a bad quiz for mbti, that’s because it doesn’t know what cognitive functions are. Cognitive functions are the functions that MAKE you your mbti type. For example, im an INFJ, 16P would take each letter in its own, I for introverted, N for intuitive, F for feeling, and J for judgement, that’s incorrect. It actually takes a bunch of cognitive functions for me to be an INFJ, hence the name. the Ni Fe Ti Se shit you’ve been seeing means iNuitive(introverted), and Feeling(Extroverted), meaning my intuition is based off internalized things and my Feeling sense is based off external things, like the people around me. Hence, my Thinking is introverted and according to my own values (since my feeling is extroverted) and my Sensing is directed extroverted (since my intuition is introverted), and is placed last (Se) because it’s my weakest function. I’d recommend OpenPsychometrics.org for MBTI, though I suggest you look into cognitive functions yourself and choose which suit you best.

As for enneagram, AGAIN, learn the basics of what it means and find out for yourself. I think enneagram and tritype is the most important. First, find out your core enneagram (mine is enneagram 4), then wing (I don’t find it that important but mine is 4w5, maybe 4w3 having a bit of a typology crisis rn), and then your instinctual variant (mine is Self-Preservation, or SP4), and then tritype (mine is 461, or SP4, SO6, SO1) which are the most relatable enneagrams in each triad (heart which is 2,3, and 4, head which is 5, 6, and 7, and but which is 8, 9, and 1), I’d recommend Enneagram-Personality.com it you want the test.

Same for Psychosophy (I’m VELF), and Socionics (not sure between IEI and LII), Jungian Archetypes, moral alignment, and temperaments. Temperaments I don’t have a specific test, I just took many of them and it’s pretty simple to me.

Psychosophy, I recommend finding out on your own but if you must, terasabi Psychosophy and maybe Attitudinal Psyche.

Socionics, I recommend you look into the most likely ones for your MBTI and figure out which one you are from there.

Moral alignment isn’t really THAT complex just do a bunch of tests and see which feels more accurate, read descriptions too. I’m True Neutral.

Others like Jungian Archetypes, Jungian personas, stuff like that I recommend Carl Jung’s books. You can look it up online too, like I did first, found out I’m the Wise Old Man and the Magician.

For the big 5 test/SLOAN, I’d recommend looking into the options and choosing for yourself OR just going to The Big Five on Google to do a test, I’m either RLOAI or RCOAI, bit of a typology crisis.

The Japanese VAs for Gakushuu and Seo are apart of the seiyuu duo unit known as "SMILY☆SPIKY". The unit has been active since the year 2005. More of a comedy skit duo unit. Miyano (Gakushuu's seiyuu) is the "boke (funny man)", while Takagi (Seo's seiyuu) is the "tsukkomi (straight man)".
