==Synopsis==
===The Bulging Stick's Backstory===
Main Article - The Bulging Stick
Tarn and the rest of the Shimada Justice Division were tasked with killing the Bulging Stick, Katelyn, Window, Zenix, and Jack, as they were all traitors to the Shimada Clan. They hunted them down, but were only able to find Window at the time, where they tortured him and stuffed him into a tree to rot and die, after severing off his limbs.
===Zenix's Backstory===
Main Article - Zenix
Tarn and the rest of the Shimada Justice Division had tracked down Katelyn, so they moved onto killing her, where they discovered that she had accidentally run into another one of her companions, Zenix, so they all chased them down, managing to kill Katelyn, but somehow, Zenix managed to escape. At some point either proceeding or preceding this event, the SJD also kill Jack.
=== Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 9: Shimada Justice Division Arrive===
Tarn and the rest of the Shimada Justice Division had tracked down Zenix to Vibe Island, where they found him at a bakery with another of their targets, the Bulging Stick, so they sent a warning by killing one of their companions, Ringus Fitgus, hanging him on a streetlamp, when they all discovered the body, Tarn announced their presence and objective to kill both their targets, but they ran in different directions with their respective companions, so Tesserace went with Tarn to kill the Zenix and Hora. They managed to complete their mission quite easily and when they regrouped with the others, they were informed that Vos allowed the West Side Boiz to live, but he put the bracelet of death onto them, ensuring that they'd die eventually anyway. The SJD made their leave and left the West Side Boiz alone for now.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 10: Tribbiani Tribulation===
The Shimada Justice Division were tasked with assassinating Joey Tribbiani, so they invaded the Tribbiani Clan Headquarters, where Tarn stayed outside the front entrance, slaughtering anyone trying to flee outside. Eventually they'd regroup at the end of the evening, only to discover that the West Side Boiz had not only saved Joey Tribbiani, but had slept the Pet and killed Helix.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 13: Battle of Central Perk - Part 1===
The Shimada Clan had received a calling card to war by the Tribbiani Clan, so Ross Shimada had the Shimada Justice Division follow him as backup. When they reached the top of Central Perk tower, they found the West Side Boiz once more, the group that killed their trusted ally, Helix. Ross scoffed at Joey for bringing backup, then summoned the Shimada Justice Division behind him from the shadows, prompting Davril to spit at them in disgust. Tesserace was now more eager to rip him to shreds, but was stopped for a moment by Ross himself, meanwhile clanking and banging was sounding around them, and Chandler then revealed that a bunch of Bing Clan ninjas were climbing their way up the tower in secret to ambush them. All three clan leaders then looked at each other with an intense seriousness then charged at one another with all their fists colliding at once, creating a massive shockwave of power that blasted all the backup away and cracked open the roof, causing the clan leaders to be suspended in the air above the rest of the combatants. Dropping down to the lower level, the West Side Boiz and Shimada Justice Division faced off with equal numbers, then Tarn pointed at the Bulging Stick with his doubled bladed sword and bellowed "you're the last one left to kill." Prompting Bulge to say that he'll be the one strike Tarn down, but before they could initiate combat, a ninja from the Bing Clan charged at Tarn only to be grabbed and ripped in half by him. After a terrifying roar from Tarn the West Side Boiz and SJD ran at one another and were now locked in combat. Instantly, Bulge and Tarn locked onto one another and began exchanging powerful blows away from the others, then after some distance was created, BOB spun Davril around and threw him at the Pet, where Dav followed up with a thunderwave, splitting the SJD up and taking out some of the Bing Clan ninjas. Edron began swinging at mortal damage at Kaon, with Sigismund throwing a sacred flame at Tesserace. Kaon retaliated by shooting a lightning strike at Davril, nearly killing him in the process, but the Bing Clan ninjas stormed in and began slashing away at both parties. Borudash and Edron rushed over to Davril healed him back up with a can of tuna and some divine magic, then BOB and Davril repeated the same attack from earlier with similar results, while Sigismund turned into a bear. The Pet began attacking Borudash head-on, preoccupying his position, while Vos and Tesserace began attacking Davril and Edron, while Kaon shot Sigismund with another lightning bolt, sending him flying and into critical condition, only surviving due to being in his bear form. Suddenly, the Bulging Stick managed to get a powerful strike into Tarn's side, enraging the towering orc, so he smashed down into Bulge with his foot, which had claws on the ends digging into him. Tarn was crushing his opponent beneath his heal, so Davril rushed in with his rapier to try assist his ally, but Tarn was able to dodge the attack with his foot still on Bulge, but he managed to summon an unknown strength and lifted the orc's foot off of him, only for his opponent to retaliate by grabbing Davril's neck and smashing him down into Bulge with immense power. Meanwhile, BOB and the Pet had been furiously exchanging blows, but after a while, the orc entered a rageful state and began swinging down at the dog with immense power, prompting Vos to try hold him back with slashes at his back, but he was unfazed and eventually managed to slice the dog in two with his battleaxe. Kaon grew intensely furious, seeing his dog being killed before his very eyes, so he charged at the orc, only to be stopped by Edron, who was then barged into by Tesserace. Tarn prepared his next attack by splitting his doubled-blade sword into two to swing down at Davril and the Bulging Stick, but the former managed to slip away before he could even swing the blades and the latter was able to narrowly evaded the attack. Davril then turned his attention to Kaon and tried to hold him back from Borudash, but was instantly blasted away with a jolt of lightning. Kaon and Borudash then became locked in combat, resulting in Tesserace and Vos dealing with Edron. Meanwhile, Sigismund was still nearly dying from Kaon's earlier attack, but Edron managed to finally acquire the time to heal Sigi up enough to be stabilised. Sigismund continued to heal himself, while Tesserace and Vos attacked them, but they were able to dodge their attacks and survive. Vos then turned his attention to Davril who had nearly recovered from shock by trying to place his torture mask on his face. The two struggled with the mask, but Davril succumbed and mask opened up old wounds and did incredible damage, but Davril retaliated by kicking Vos in the balls, only to find the attack ineffective, since Vos is apparently has iron bollocks. After a continuing fight between the two, Davril managed to kill Vos and the death bracelets on himself, Edron, Sigismund, and the Bulging Stick disappeared magically. Edron, and Sigismund then combined there power to kill Tesserace, while Davril began heating up Tarn's metallic armour, dealing some damage to him, but he was then shocked to find that Tarn was able to flex his muscles so hard that all of his armour bursted off and flew away in hundreds of tiny pieces of shrapnel, killing the remainder of Bing Clan ninjas still there and hitting all the West Side Boiz, except for Sigismund, who was also a bear again. Borudash began to lose the fight between himself and Kaon, entering critical condition, but he'd weakened his blindfolded foe significantly, allowing Edron the opportunity to cut Kaon down, while Sigi healed BOB up. Kaon staggered backwards in shock and uttered his final words, "this wasn't how it was supposed to be." With the majority of the Shimada Justice Division now killed, Borudash began falling asleep from his exhaustion and everyone rushed over to assist the Bulging Stick in his losing struggle against Tarn. Seeing his allies successful in their fights with the rest of the SJD, Bulge summoned more strength and pushed back against Tarn, then teamed up with Sigismund to deliver a devastating final combination attack onto Tarn, smashing him into the pillars holding Joey, Ross, and Chandler up, ultimately causing it to collapse on top of him as he bellowed one final roar.
===Shadows of Visvara - Episode of Madness 9: Villainous Preparations===

The enigmatic leader of the Shimada Justice Division was assumed dead after the battle of Central Perk, but since his body was never found, many began to speculate that he was still alive, plotting revenge on Leonardo Turtleneck. In truth, Tarn had travelled to the capital city of Dorlomin to hide in plain sight. He began training intensely to avenge his fallen allies. At the gym, he crossed paths with a peculiar former security guard and their friendship would blossom after some competition.
===Shadows of Visvara - Chapter 28: Nemesis===
Tarn found himself sucked into a randomly appearing portal. Initially confused, his wonder was quickly answered, when he saw the Bulging Stick in an open field with mountains in the far distance. His heavy metallic foot stomps approached, as Tarn bellowed, "I do not know why a portal appeared before me, but now I can see that it took me to my destiny... a chance to kill you, Bulge!" They swung their swords at each other into a massive clash as they cast ritual duelling on one another. Bulge's speed had increased since their last battle, so he was able to swiftly dodge the majority of his larger opponents attacks, but his strength couldn't compete. Fearing the possibilities, he retreated at one point to recuperate and JoJo pose. Unfortunately, Tarn countered with a better JoJo pose and unleashed a dark magic slash projectile from his giant sword that hurdled its way to Bulge, mortally wounding him and knocking him back far, but he didn't give up, so he rushed forward and slashed upwards with his Dragon Blade, cutting deep into Tarn's armour, but he didn't give him the satisfaction of killing, announcing, "you are many things, Bulging Stick, but my killer is not one of them!" He raised his sword to the sky and dark magic enveloped him, turn him into a statue that represented his might and power. 
=== April Turtleneck's Backstory ===
Main Article - April Turtleneck
One day, April Turtleneck would be visited from a ghostly, otherworldly figure in her dreams claiming to be an ancestor of hers, telling her that she wields extremely powerful magic that has been lost through the Turtleneck Generations and that she had the ability to tap into it. Believing that this power could help her with her dream, making up for her lack of actual combat training, April made a pact with the entity, thence gaining mysterious and ominous magics.
=== Radiance of Visvara - Chapter 4: True Mayor's World ===
April had run into the woods on her own and looked up to the sky, calling upon her ancestors for help, causing the sky to turn a dark purple as a ghostly whistle surrounded her. Suddenly a purple smoke appeared before, which eventually formed a figure dressed as a knight with a massive cape on. The knight introduced himself as "the voice in your head that tells you to kill people. My name is Tarn." April was confused, but it explained a lot to her, since she didn't know where her power came from (evident from when Acree asked her about it and she didn't really have an answer). Tarn explained that his powers was hers in return for a favour for later that he hadn't planned out yet, so April asked for a disguise, prompting Tarn to make a rabbit mascot costume, clarifying that he was new to this. He left and confirmed that they had a pact together.
