Blue Ink (RWBY)
Old man, Kenji Yazamoto, wasn't a saint. He'd lived and bled by the code of the Yakuza his whole life. He's the kind of man who believed in loyalty, respect, and paying your debts. By the time the '80s rolled around, his kind was already fading out of Japan's streets. He's a senior citizen now. The kids running around with switchblades and cheap suits didn't know what honor meant anymore.
So it was almost poetic that he died in an alley, bleeding out, betrayed by the same "family" he'd built from the ground up. He figured that was the end of it.
But when Kenji wakes up again, it isn't in a hospital. It isn't even in Japan. He's lying in a soft bed, in a room that looks like it belongs to students - and when he looks in the mirror, an unfamiliar face stares back. Pale skin. White hair. Ice-blue eyes.
