??? Okay, anyone wanna explain to me why the Joker used a flower symbol of a yellow iris? The hanakotoba I’m getting from multiple sites are ‘loyalty, good news’, and occasionally some other positive things? The closest thing is maybe knowledge, like, seek enlightenment and after you find it I’ll take my revenge, or mayyybe at a stretch ‘finally my day of revenge has come, this is good news for me’, but, like??? From its place in the story I always kind of assumed it was a similar meaning to the orange lily.

Teddie is Teddie Anderson because Japan overuses the surname Anderson and I think it’s funny

         “I’m so un-bearlievably glad you’re okay!” Yosuke blinks, watching Anderson-kun from America...cry into his hamburger. He’s not sure he’ll ever understand his American cousin for reasons including but not limited to the fact that the rest of the blond’s Japanese is atrocious but he’s apparently figured out how to make a ton of puns that actually almost work in Japanese about bears. For some reason.
         “Uh. And how did you end up working at Dojima Law?” he asks, because he’s feeling a little awkward, having all that attention fixed on him.
         The chest puffs out in pride and victory. “Don’t underestimate this little bear! I clawed my way in! The next time you need me, I won’t be useless, fur sure!”
         Yosuke blinks again and then decides he’s better off not asking for further details. It’s really sweet but also...seriously, did the guy move all the way around the world and change his job just to make sure he was okay? It’s...weird, confronted once again by the fact that yeah, people actually care about him, and he’s not sure what to do with that.
         It’s nice having...well, family that cares, even if the guy is a little over the top.

The idea here for the title is that Yosuke in this universe is a law nerd and has done a decent number of civil cases—so he’d know debt terms. The debt remains the same; i.e. he doesn’t think he’s paid it off or that the terms of the contract should change and no amount of ‘you’re not at fault’ judgments from others will make him believe it. I also considered some ‘representing yourself’ terms, since he’s essentially the one putting himself on trial, but.
I don’t know what it is about this specific song that makes me go ‘this is the Verdict reasoning/putting together the pieces/thinking song’, but. It is what it is.
he's not kidding about Kanji's fashion, btw, man's one of the most well-dressed yakuza around.  Unlike his counterpart he doesn't have a full gold suit and switches it up, but if you see one of the most eye-catching shirts particularly if it's got some sort of metallic pattern on it it's probably Kanji.  (Honestly, he might be making one-of-a-kind shirts himself because he's awesome.)  Not over the top, not gaudy, but he absolutely would fit right in at a nightclub.

The song wasn’t actually due to the lotus. I was listening to the song separately and then went ‘wait there are parallels to Asura/Taisha in this storyline my heart ow’, after which I cranked this out at a point I definitely should have been sleeping.  And named the series.  Also some steins;gate parallels.
Contains the tradition of graduating high school seniors giving the second-to-top button of their gakuran (school uniform) to the one closest to their heart.

I am very proud of this dungeon design and symbology.
