His appearance here was no coincidence. As headmaster of Shino Academy, Yamabuki Chidori received each year's list of new students and checked it for talent he needed. Yesterday, he had spotted Kyouka's name. In the original timeline, her entire life had been a tragedy.
She had been Tōsen's close friend, then married Tsuna Miro Ishida after becoming a Soul Reaper.
But the Tsunayashiro Clan had only wanted to run an experiment: what sort of offspring would a noble and an exceptional ordinary soul produce? Tsuna Miro Ishida had merely been a pawn of his clan. In despair, he told Kyouka the truth, hoping to savor her hysterical reaction. Instead of getting angry, she comforted him.
His belief in "absolute evil" had nearly been undone by his wife's kindness. To keep her from changing him, he killed her and fabricated evidence of an affair to escape punishment. Central 46 feared the power of the Four Great Noble Clans and did not sentence him to death, leaving Tōsen outraged.
When Tsuna Miro Ishida moved to kill Tōsen as well, Aizen intervened and saved him. The two immediately found common cause and set out on the path of revolution.
Aizen regarded Tōsen as a friend, but Tōsen regarded himself as Aizen's subordinate. Aizen could only feel helpless about it.
Now, though, everything was different. The Tsunayashiro Clan had fallen centuries ago, and the course of both their lives had changed beyond recognition.
Seeing Kyouka immediately brought Tōsen to Yamabuki Chidori's mind, so he went alone to Rukongai to look for him. As luck would have it, he had barely arrived when he came upon Tōsen being bullied for his blindness.
The two went to Tōsen's home. Yamabuki Chidori sighed softly at the sight of the shabby house. Tōsen's life clearly wasn't easy.
