Record my name in your head because I'm important.

I am Toriyama Ito. I have a clear role in life, something that many people lack and still seek, either in dead civilizations that excused all their problems in the sun, or in the ocean without thinking that our primitive ancestors fled from there to evolve and kicking, or maybe trying to get to the moon hoping that this pile of barren rocks will reveal the meaning of life. Fools all of them. My destiny is simple but of weight, I am going to become the recurring villain of this story.

What? Do not you know he's a recurring villain? But it is an essential gear in any work of fiction! Well, I lie to you, there are many works without villains with long life expectancy. But where they do exist they are treated as an invaluable element. What would become of the bat man without the clown? Or the blue bomber without the mad scientist? They would lose a lot.

Do not confuse me with the eternal rival or those traitors who become good at the end, do not call me a continuous joke. I have integrity, I plan to be a serious threat and adaptable to the level of the protagonist. If I try hard, it may appear in a large part of the Opening and everything. Can you imagine it? The camera crossing at full speed a waste land to take a close-up of my smiling face? It would be glorious. I could even get fans to write stories about me!

We are hardly in the prologue of history, so in the Opening appear few characters to not saturate the viewer. Of those who appear only know the protagonist and other extraordinary students, but also a few strangers, see the girl with the wooden sword or the guy with the straw hat who is not a pirate. The latter seems quite strong and mysterious.

I have to keep an eye out for when the strange things happen. It will be the warning to identify the beginning of the real plot, what will it be? Devils? Aliens? For now we are in the Status Quo, peace, tranquility, school days, spring of youth. High school is the first stage of this story. It will vary with time ... I hope it does. I would hate to stagnate in an eternal and episodic school adventure.

Many of the important people are in their second year. Everyone has their daily routine, while the rest stays on the sidelines by not having important lives. The most interesting thing that the extras could achieve is to die in the middle of a battle or be used as hostages.

Ignore cannon fodder and look for real characters.

There are my subordinates in the entrance. They are a large group that gives off a cloudy aura and wear dark clothes. Most have the upper part of their face overshadowed, they were made without much encouragement, they only exist to make bulk and fulfill my orders. Even if they complain they can not do anything against me. I exercise a lot, I have confidence in my toned body, although strength is not my best attribute ... These slackers can pounce on me among all and equal would win.

But it does not mean that I have a resolved life within my gang. There are two characters that I watch at all times, a couple of headaches: The first is Hanamiya Tora, the second is Aida Yamazaki. They do look well drawn, even better than me. No, they must be my imaginations.

Tora is a voluptuous girl ... But do not be fooled by her attractive cleavage! Look up and face those green eyes of tiger and that smile can freeze your blood. Now it does not seem like much, it is relaxed and stretches its body, observes without much desire its surroundings. It's a facade, just wait for it to get angry or get excited, when that happens your pigtail bristles and shows the energy of an authentic beast. I hate to admit it, but she surpasses me physically by much. Even if a truck full of copies of me tried to knock it down, my clones and I would fly through the air. Of course, it is a pretty simple girl of mind and easy to handle.

Yazamaki is a more complicated case. It is short and thin. He does not talk much and always keeps his eyes closed, still, smiling from the bottom like a stalker. His presence is quite weak, to the point that it is difficult to realize that he is following you and always takes you by surprise. From what I said it does not sound like someone too important. But there is a key detail in this portrait of Yamazaki ... He is very handsome! Your locker is full of confessions of love, damn you. You know what it means, right? A handsome, enigmatic, taciturn boy who also joins the bad guys ...

I bet all my savings that it hides its true power! I have no doubt! He is the typical bastard who maintains distance during the first arcs, looking suspicious, then suddenly appears doing something impressive and stealing the show.

I do not fall for your trick, Yamazaki!

My life would be simpler if I did not deal with these two. To fulfill my goal of being the recurring villain I must have a persistent relevance in the story. The previous thing is difficult if there are two personages of great potential following you the backs, able to darken my paper with any cool scene that they take out of the sleeve.

But I admit it, Tora and Yamazaki are necessary. It would be too sad that my gang is 100% formed by minions without a face. In any group of thugs, it takes one or two members unique enough to be memorable. Also, who will face the protagonist's companions while I fight against him? The cannon meat of course not.

I just have to maintain my position as leader everything will be fine. We are just at the beginning of the plot, I have plenty of time to ingrain my influence on the story. For now I will play the role of Boss who is surpassed by his closest subordinates but does not realize it, and is still obeyed thanks to his enormous charisma. Well, in addition to charisma, our past also has a lot to do with it. I know both of them since childhood, you could even say that we are what is generally known as Friends.

I do not have real friends! Only useful tools!

The bell rang, it's time to go to classes. But since we are the bad guys, I made everyone wait ten minutes before entering, punctuality is for the weak and the little children of Mommy. Tora was content to waste time. Yamazaki just smiled and shrugged.

Time to enter.

Ah, there comes the Opening! Get ready!

...

Japanese song!

The title of the story.

Plane of the protagonist on the roof of the school while the wind shakes his blue hair.

The protagonist walking alongside his perverted friend down the hall. They pass near a mysterious girl with a bamboo sword ... The girl stops and looks at them out of the corner of her eye. Why does she have more screen time than me?

Short-term plans showing different characters observing the camera: The rude teacher; The childhood friend; An old woman I do not know together with twins dressed as priestesses; The rival of the protagonist who has glasses; A dark guy with a long Japanese bow ... Right there, we appear! Tora, Yamazaki and I, along with the gang members. Why is my face hidden by the credits? Damn editors!

Now the guy in the straw hat comes out on an electricity pole, smoking a pipe. Behind him is a blonde woman dressed as a clerk, with beautiful legs.

Action scene with the mysterious girl of the sword facing several subjects with black robes and pint of doors with brochures to convince you to jump down a cliff. The movements of the girl are on the same level as Tora, I would even say slightly higher.

Finally there is a dark silhouette with an evil face. The screen lights up, then, right where the horrible silhouette was, the protagonist appears. He is accompanying the mysterious girl and both observe the blue sky from the roof of the school.

The Opening ends

...

We appeared a few seconds like the rest. No matter how much you look at it or at what angle, it's just as disappointing. The road to becoming a recurring villain will be long and full of worries.
