Jyushi Aimono/Relationships

### Kuko Harai

They are teammates as part of Bad Ass Temple. Kuko first met Jyushi when Hitoya Amaguni brought him to Kuugen Temple in order to help him gain better emotional strength. Jyushi was intimidated by Kuko at first, but accepted him to be his mentor. After testing Jyushi's ability to withstand hypnosis mic attacks, he was impressed by his strength and durability and invited Jyushi to join Bad Ass Temple and enter the DRB with him.

They often have a playful slapstick relationship where Kuko will often yell at or hit Jyushi with a keisaku during meditation. Despite this, Jyushi has genuine respect and admiration for Kuko, and Kuko in turn acknowledges the mental strength and perseverance Jyushi possesses, as well as his ability to keep striving forward.

### Hitoya Amaguni

They're teammates as part of Bad Ass Temple, despite their attitude differences. Hitoya first met Jyushi during his time as a high schooler. throughout that time He had been suffering with endless amounts' of bullying. As a result of this, Hitoya inspired Jyushi to never give up, which is his motto to this day. Jyushi greatly admires Hitoya and calls him his hero, and even with his caustic words and irritation towards Jyushi, Hitoya cares about him greatly and couldn’t handle seeing him hurt. Hitoya advocated for Jyushi and got his bullies in jail, and after that he got Jyushi into music, and since then Jyushi would always go to Hitoya's office for pointless reasons, still keeping up with this habit, much to Hitoya's chagrin. Nevertheless, Hitoya sees himself in Jyushi and rries his hardest to help him.

Regardless of this, there are occasions where he dotes on Jyushi, as instead of scolding him in situations where Kuko drags him into. He’d leave him out of it and scold Kuko instead. though, if it calls for it; he wouldn't hesitate to scold Jyushi too, though in a light manner that wouldn't lead him to thinking it's his fault.

Apart from this, they both maintain a healthy relationship, both as teammates, and friends. though despite this, Jyushi treats Hitoya as somewhat of a father-figure, and often relied on him for situations such as when it's involving Kuko.

### Ichiro Yamada

Jyushi has stated (in an ARB story) that if he were a girl, he would date Ichiro.

Ichiro saved him from being swindled on Ikebukuro streets in the same story.

Later, they end up on the same team in the events of the Mixed Up drama track.

## Others

### Iyogi

Jyushi was deeply happy to have met Iyogi, as they bonded over shared music interests, and Iyogi seemed friendly and genuine. However, after Jyushi overshadowed Iyogi in a karaoke session with their classmates, Iyogi was consumed by jealousy as he brutally bullied Jyushi and exploited secrets that Jyushi shared with him. Even after Iyogi indirectly murdered Jyushi’s grandmother, Jyushi felt remorse seeing Iyogi pulled away sentenced to 15 years in prison.

### Jyushi’s Grandma

Jyushi adores his grandma more than anyone, as she was always there for him and gave him his beloved stuffed plushie Amanda. She would tell Jyushi that she’d always be there for Jyushi through Amanda. When Jyushi’s grandmother died indirectly from Iyogi, Jyushi planned to kill himself, unable to handle the pain inside. Years later, he’d always visit her grave and ask her to watch over his team.
