INTERMISSION Online Rumors (3) On the Ikebukuro information site IkeNew! Version I.KEBU.KUR.O Popular Post: [Seeking Information] Supposedly there’s a high schooler who can go toe to toe with Shizuo Heiwajima! Greetings. Your site administrator, this is. Received some news today that is rather difficult to believe, I have. The infamous Shizuo Heiwajima had a fight with a teenage boy and very nearly lost, he did. (Abridged) See this video for reference → [External link] It’s just cell phone footage from a distance, so you can’t see faces too well, but clearly wearing a Raira Academy uniform, the other combatant is. And most certainly putting up a good fight against Shizuo Heiwajima, he is. We haven’t heard any stories about Raira having such a powerhouse last year, so most likely a new student, this boy is. …But wait a moment. A boy around fifteen years old, holding his own against Shizuo? Uncertain, too much of our information is. If anyone can give us a more detailed profile of this boy, please use the e-mail form to drop a line to the admin, I ask. The Ikebukuro of tomorrow depends on you. Incidentally, intensely unpopular this type of writing has been. But continue all month, it will. Continue, it will. A selection of ordinary twits from the social network Twittia Shizuo Heiwajima got beat? For real? He didn’t get beat. He won in the end. For real? Somebody lied. But he did get knocked down a couple times. For real? I heard Shizuo had beef with a high school kid. Did he throw a machine? He tried to, but the kid got in his wheelhouse and kicked his knee first. OW holy shit! What do you mean? Normally your knee would shatter if someone kicked it while you’re lifting a vending machine. Normally you wouldn’t lift a vending machine at all… Damn, Raira is crazy. Isn’t Kushinada High more dangerous around that area? Kushinada’s old news. What’s up with the admin of IkeNew talking like he’s Yoda or something? Does he have no sense of shame? Really? You’re bringing that up now? I mean, how old is that guy? No idea. He never puts up any pictures of his face. I think he should talk in cat puns. No idea what you’re talking ameowt
