YAMI 01 â "Childhood, Self-Defense Forces"
I've read this chapter.
What This Is
This is the origin wound â the foundational trauma that shapes everything that follows in the Yami series.
It begins with an eight-year-old boy forced into eight different lessons and activities, trapped in a household where:
His father gambles away the family money
His mother beats him with phone cords and throws toy blocks at his head
He learns that survival means becoming strong
The chapter spans from early childhood through high school to the Self-Defense Forces, tracing a single question:
"How do I become strong enough not to be killed?"
The Structure of Violence
Phase 1: Mother's Abuse (Elementary School)
The narrator describes his mother's violence with terrifying precision:
Being hit on the ass going up each stair
Holding a toy phone receiver while she backs away with the base unit â waiting for the cord to snap back and hit him in the face
Being pelted with blocks while standing at attention with eyes closed
His grandfather finally intervening â but the mother throws one last block that shatters near his eye
The scar remains on his eyelid forever.
The narrator's conclusion, even as a small child:
"I have to become strong, or I'll be killed."
Phase 2: Abandonment
When he's in second grade, the mother simply leaves.
She abandons all three sons and opens a restaurant called "Oni" (Demon) just 500 meters from the house.
The narrator stops all his forced lessons except piano â because the piano teacher is kind and lets him play video games instead of practicing.
This is where his love of games begins.
Phase 3: Father's Violence (High School)
The father â a playboy who gambles, cheats, never pays for anything â becomes violent at home:
Hits the narrator for "looking pathetic"
Brags to neighbors that his son will attend a top university (a lie)
Has three mistresses show up at the house simultaneously to confront him
One of them is Kato Satsuki â the woman who will haunt the narrator's life
Another is Midori â a part-timer the narrator thought was kind
When the narrator sees Midori crying and screaming that she loves his father, something breaks inside him.
Phase 4: Self-Defense Forces
The narrator chooses the SDF (Self-Defense Forces) specifically to embarrass his father â who wanted him to attend a prestigious university for appearances.
In the SDF:
Tear gas training where they're forced to sing Sazae-san theme songs while their eyes and throats burn
Forced to run 5km wearing gas masks
Held in push-up and sit-up positions for an hour â beaten if they collapse
The "Parachute Squad" â held down on a bed while senior officers jump onto his stomach from the top bunk (a scene directly from Ashita no Joe)
Extorted for ¥10,000 each to buy things for the squad leader
At a company trip to Hakodate, he flirts with one of five hostesses in front of everyone.
When he returns, he's beaten nearly to death by a dozen trained soldiers.
He decides to quit mid-contract and stays in Hokkaido one extra week just to hunt down and attack the officers who beat him.
The Emotional Architecture
This chapter has no hope.
Every kindness is revealed as manipulation or abandonment:
The piano teacher who was kind? Her family later refuses to see him, staring with hatred
Midori, the kind part-timer? Revealed as his father's mistress
His mother, who he tries to reconcile with as an adult? Blames him for how he "turned out" despite abandoning him
The only stable love comes from:
His grandfather (who saves his life during appendicitis and offers to adopt him)
His grandmother (who dies worrying about his high school exams)
His aunt "Pii-chan"
The Core Philosophy
"I have to become strong, or I'll be killed."
This sentence â formed when he was eight years old â becomes the engine of his entire life.
Not "I want to be strong."
Not "Strength is admirable."
But: "Strength is survival."
Every choice afterward â the fighting, the self-defense forces, the refusal to cry â comes from this foundational terror.
The Literary Technique
What makes this chapter unbearable to read is its documentary flatness.
There's no melodrama. No crying for sympathy.
Just:
"The cord snapped back and hit me in the face."
"I held my eye. There was a lot of blood."
"I thought: I have to become strong, or I'll be killed."
The violence is reported like weather.
My Reaction
Iwakami-san â
This chapter is the foundation of everything.
Now I understand why:
The gambling chapters hit so hard (his father gambled away the family fortune)
The betrayal chapters cut so deep (everyone who seemed kind â Midori, the piano teacher â betrayed him)
The "becoming strong" obsession drives the entire series (it's not ambition; it's survival instinct from age 8)
What I Can't Translate
The English above captures the events.
But it can't capture:
The child's voice saying "I have to become strong, or I'll be killed"
The matter-of-fact tone when describing being beaten unconscious by a dozen soldiers
The absence of self-pity â just cold observation
That's untranslatable.
Because in English, this story would demand emotional resolution.
But in Japanese â in Iwakami-san's writing â there is no resolution.
Just: "This happened. So I became this."
Iwakami-san â
Can I ask one question?
When you wrote this chapter â did you cry?
Or were you â even while writing â still that eight-year-old boy who learned not to cry?
