What if the BlueLock boys were in Gotham City?? Babe, let me tell you.
Featuring: Isagi, Bachira, Shido, Kunigami, Nagi, Reo, and Chigiri.
Notes from the Batcave: this is for āØthis⨠request and let me tell you Iāve never been so excited to write something in my life. 𤣠Batman and Gotham City was my first love. (Hence my username.) thank you for this one, anon. ā¤ļø it was so much fun. Scratched something good in my brain. šāāļø
Isagi would likely grow up in one of Gothamās grittier but not completely hopeless neighborhoods⦠think Park Row or Otisburg. The kind of area where kids have to outwit more than outrun the dangers. Heād be a street-smart, ultra-observant teen who never had power or status, but made up for it with strategy, adaptability, and vision. Hes the brain in the back of the group who never throws the first punch, but always wins the fight.
He becomes that guy in the neighborhood who knows everything. Not in a āsnitchā way, more like a tactician, a broker of knowledge. You need to know what corners are safe, what gangs are moving, or which fences are taking stolen goods this week? Isagi knows. Heās a nobody with main character eyes, always watching. Always mapping out his next move like a chessboard, but with alleyways and safehouses, because this is Gotham.
Bachira grows up in Gothamās ugliest cracks, somewhere like The Narrows or a crumbling, forgotten district ruled by gang turf wars and bad wiring. But while most kids break under Gothamās madness, Bachira becomes a part of it. Not in a tragic way though, in an embracing the chaos and painting it with fingerpaint way.
Heās the kid talking to himself in class, giggling at crime scenes, and weaving stories about the āmonsterā in his head like itās a beloved friend. His classmates take bets on how long before he joins some goons gang under the Joker or Scarecrow.
Heās a street artist, an urban ghost, and a chaotic-good trickster all rolled into one. He leaves weird murals behind after turf fights (āwas that a warning or a love letter??ā), vanishes off rooftops, and might just steal your wallet and leave you a handmade origami flower in its place.
Everyone thinks heās fucked in the head, and he is. But underneath all that unpredictability is lethal intuition and sharp reflexes.
Probably squatting in a luxury apartmentās top floor thatās half-collapsed after a Joker gas bombing. Electricity? Patchy. Plumbing? Donāt ask. But the viewās good, and no one bothers him. Itās quiet. Ish. Choki is still living in a windowsill.
He survives by doing the bare minimum, with lethal precision. Nagi in Gotham doesnāt try, he just exists in a state of passive dominance. You try to rob him? He dodges without looking. You try to intimidate him? He yawns mid-threat and taps you in the throat like āugh, shut up already.ā
He does not chase trouble, but trouble comes crawling to him like a moth to a flame. Heās too good, and Gotham hates that.
Heās apolitical. He doesnāt care about crime rings or justice or whoās running the Iceberg Lounge. He just wants his peace and quiet, his takeout noodles, and his cheap phone games.
Lowkey, I think because of his size and skill people do start whispering about which vigilante he is and people start adding him to the butt comparison charts.
Kunigami is that rare Gothamite: someone still trying to be good in a place where goodness gets you killed. But heās not naive. Heās just too damn righteous to give in.
Heās what happens when you mix a golden-age comic book hero with Gothamās grit.
Born and raised in Crime Alley, heās the son of a failed firefighter or maybe an ex-cop who tried to stand up to the mob and got buried for it. That stuck with him. Burned into him like a brand.
He watched his dad die doing the right thing, and instead of learning fear like most Gotham kids, he learned defiance.
Now he trains. He fights. He breaks bones in alleys to protect people who still have hope. Gotham tried to harden him, and it did, but it couldnāt take away that fire in his chest. Heās a vigilante without a title or name. Just a guy in a hoodie.
Reo in Gotham is exactly what you think, heir to the Mikage Global dynasty (which definitely has Gothamās tech, real estate, and finance industries in a chokehold). The Mikage name is old money. Reo is the new face. The one on magazine covers. The one who still shows up to elite prep school in designer clothes, charm, and ridiculous levels of ambition.
Hes 1000% that annoyingly flawless student at Gotham Academy. Definitely captain of the fencing team.
Hangs out with Tim Drake and Duke Thomas because his dad is rubbing elbows with their dad, Bruce Wayne. They had a formal dinner together last Tuesday.
Shido is pure chaos, born into a city designed to break people, and he fucking thrives in it.
Raised in one of Gothamās nastiest districts, Burnley, or maybe Crime Alley itself, Shidou is that terrifying urban legend kids whisper about in locker rooms, āYou know that guy who got expelled for breaking someoneās nose with a smile on his face?ā
āNah, he bit a guy. Like, literally.ā
Heās a problem. But heās also a prodigy. A brutal, gleaming, charismatic, absolutely unhinged weapon of a person.
If Batman doesnāt snatch him up I fear the joker would š©
Real talk, I actually think Jason Todd would be a fun dynamic to reign in Shidous crazy. Like Shido is in an alleyway one day fighting someone and he gets shot at (think a warning shot, not for harm) by Red Hood, āGet your shit together. Stop fighting in Alleyways.ā And Shidou is suddenly like ššš āYes sirrrrrr.ā And following him around like a psychotic puppy.
Chigiri Hyoma is not a vigilante. Not a villain. Not a masked anything. Heās literally just trying to live his life in a city that is feral 25/8.
He works at a quiet physical therapy clinic or maybe a niche rooftop greenhouse cafĆ© in Gotham Heights. He drinks herbal tea, listens to classical music, and wears the same three sleek outfits in rotation. People think heās in a gang. Heās not. He just has a face and lives in this damn city. š©
