## History

### Boy Who Talks to Machines Arc

Sanosuke did his daily routine of walking to school with his sister, Miyako Doyohito. When he arrived, Nanora Hikari messed with him and asked him if he did their Math homework. The two of them crammed their homework together.

When school was over and after helping a teacher with a broken printer, he saw Yuna Hako observing Momiji Nokutoka. He teased him and called him a stalker which caused Yuna to release flames.

The school’s fire alarm rang and the two of them ran away. To make up for it, Sanosuke treated Yuna to a meal. While walking, Yuna revealed his intention to become a hero to which Sanosuke supported.

A few weeks passed and Akazakura Girls’ School merged with his school. He found out that he was classmates with a few school idols.

When school was over, Sanosuke found a cell phone lying on the ground. After finding out that it was Momiji’s phone, he asked for her Discord username. He then walked around the school and managed to return the phone to her.

Sanosuke then walked to the rooftop and saw Okita Fumuyoshi. He asked him to give Yuna some guidance since Okita also planned to be a hero.

On his way home, he met Suisei Hoshimachi and walked home with her. She asked about his Gift and after finding out that he can command machines, she requested his help to make a website to which he complied.

When he arrived in his room, he told his computer to hack the Astranite Control Center and his uncle’s company database. He then started designing a support item for Yuna.

### Wielder of Black-White Flames Arc

There were rumors about him and Suisei when the students saw her walk with him on their way to school.

After class, he told Yuna that Okita wanted to talk to him. Sanosuke watched Okita and Yuna fight. Yuna was defeated and he carried him to the nurse’s office.

He made a Skyrim joke when Yuna was awake and explained to him the reason why he made Okita fight him. The two of them were about to walk home when Suisei talked to him once again. He used Yuna as an excuse and turned her away.

Sanosuke explained to Yuna that he received 86 emails that were death threats. He revealed that he made an electronic virus that would delete all of the device’s files including the OS and he sent it to the people who sent him those death threats.

On Saturday, he brought Yuna to Saturdaze Industries and gave him a glove-type support item. He told him how the gloves worked and arranged things to make Yuna be able to train in Saturdaze Industries during weekends.

### Triple Life Arc

Sanosuke was carrying many envelopes when he met Okita. He explained his situation and Okita offered to deal with the bullies. Sanosuke refused his offer and changed the topic by asking about Yuna’s progress.

### Unseen Arc

Sanosuke was walking with Suisei on the way to school. He was seen by Nanora who wanted to surprise him. But when Sanosuke showed a sad expression while picking up more death threats, Nanora decided to leave him alone.

Okita then came and talked to him. Sanosuke once again changed the topic by asking about Yuna’s progress.

## Equipment

**Gift-Controlling Headphones:** Sanosuke always wears blue headphones that help in controlling his Gift. His headphones worked by filtering the noise and letting him listen to whatever he wanted.

## Powers and Abilities

**Technopathy:** As long as he can see it or it is within a ten meter radius, Sanosuke can “hear” a machine that has electricity thanks to his Gift. He is able to give commands to the machines and it will obey to the best of its capabilities.

## Trivia

* Cenonn’s original plan for Sanosuke’s Gift was that Sanosuke would be able to transform his body parts into machines, similar to the protagonist of “Generator Rex.” He thought it would be a useless ability since he had no plans to make Sanosuke fight so he gave him Technopathy instead.

## Quotes

* (To Suisei) *“My Gift is a simple one. I talk to machines and they listen. In exchange for listening to those chatterboxes, I am able to give commands to them.”*
* (To Suisei) *“Well... After a few tests, there’s one rule that makes it count as a “machine.” It must have electricity in it. That’s why I can talk to phones, televisions, and computers. It doesn’t matter if it has other power sources. I can talk to them as long as they have electricity. For example, I can talk to cars since they have one component that runs on electricity.”*
* (To Suisei) *“Like I said, I don’t need anything from you guys. This is something I can do easily and I don’t want to be a jerk who thinks that everything should have its equivalent reward.”*
* (To Yuna) *“They picked a fight. It’s just self-defense. I won’t let them punch me and get away with it.”*
* (To Yuna) *“I’m your friend. Of course, I’ll support your dream. And besides, you can repay me by becoming a strong hero who can save anyone. That’s the best payment I can ask for.”*
* (To Okita) *“No need. These are just death threats. No one directly harmed me yet. I don’t think they will though. I’m pretty close with a bunch of teachers since they owe me a lot. Not to mention my uncle is pretty influential in the hero business. No one is stupid enough to do anything to me.”*
* (To Okita) *“Oh. It’s because they learned the hard way that emailing me is dangerous. I could imagine the trouble I gave them once I killed their phones and computers with that virus.”*
