[Anime Crossover] The Ode to Joy in Hell!

Current tentative crossover lineup: Naruto + Jujutsu Kaisen + Demon Slayer + Attack on Titan + Hozuki's Coolheadedness

[Underworld TV: Live on the Scene] Welcome to The Underworld's Song of Joy!

A burst of static flashes across the TV screen. Hozuki stands expressionless before the camera, the spiked club in his hand gleaming coldly.

"Good evening, everyone. I'm Hozuki, the Chief Deputy of King Enma. In response to the persistent, and frankly foolhardy, request for a live connection from a television station in the world of the living..."

The camera suddenly jolts. Offscreen, King Enma cries out, "Ow, ow, ow! Easy, Hozuki!"

A moment later, Hozuki's face reappears.

"After our company reviewed and approved the request, I'll be leading everyone through the program's filming and giving you an immersive look at everyday life in the afterlife."

First stop: the Ninja Spirit Reemployment Center!

Jiraiya is being hounded by a group of little demons to finish The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi: Afterlife Edition, Revised;

Namikaze Minato is testing whether the Flying Thunder God can deliver bento on the Underworld Express;

Hyuga Neji is studying massage techniques by comparing medical texts;

In the background, someone roars, "Madara!!!" as the crash of Susanoo tearing down buildings echoes through the area. A sign in the distance reads: Reconstruction costs for this district have been deducted from the culprit's incense offerings.

Second stop: the Jujutsu Sorcerer Spirit Observation Center!

Nanami Kento puts away his briefcase and clocks out of the Spirit Transfer Department right on time, then heads off to drink Underworld liquor with Haibara Yu.

Gojo Satoru puts on black sunglasses and spends over two hours singing his heart out alongside Geto Suguru at the Festival of the Dead's Raucous Music. He wins himself a crowd of devoted fangirls among the jailers.

Mahito is elegantly sewing clothes for the jailers to offset the time he has to spend atoning for his sins in hell. His current sentence is 980 years, which can be reduced to a minimum of 960.

Third stop: the Demon Slayer Corps Spirit Small Business Zone!

Rengoku Kyojuro's fiery enthusiasm is as strong as ever, and his "Rengoku Special: Extra-Spicy Roasted Sweet Potatoes" is the hottest stall along the banks of the River of the Underworld!

The four members of the Ubuyashiki family have opened a Higanbana Pharmacy, sourcing their ingredients directly from Hakutaku in heaven. Everything is extremely fresh.

After helping the Ubuyashiki family, Kochou Shinobu and her sister take the paper-cut crafts prepared by the Tokito brothers and hurry to the blood-pool wedding venue of Kanroji Mitsuri and Iguro Obanai.

Fourth stop: the Survey Corps' Hell Division Reconstruction Team!

Commander Erwin is deep in thought as he studies the elevation plans for Hell's corpse-wall, sent over from King Enma's Hall.

Eren stares out at the boundless sea of blood, spreads his arms, and shouts, "Freedom!" He is punished with a week of sweeping the banks of the River of the Underworld for shouting at work.

Hange's eyes sparkle in the Monster Disassembly and Emergency Treatment Room as they wipe away drool and operate on a monster with eight badly damaged tentacles.

Special feature: King Enma's Hall, the Chief Deputy's Workplace

The camera follows Hozuki back to his office. He slaps a thick report on King Enma's desk: Feasibility Report on Developing an Extreme Rafting Attraction and Adding Toll Booths Along the Upper Reaches of the River of the Underworld.

King Enma is in tears, desperate for a break. "Hozuki! We've already exceeded this month's KPIs! Rafting, of all things..."

Hozuki raises his spiked club and speaks in an even tone. "King Enma, please be as accommodating as you were when accepting the television station's request to film in the world of the living. It's all for the economic development of hell and the spiritual entertainment of the living."

King Enma sobs, "Hozuki, you just want revenge because I agreed to the TV station's request."

Hozuki ignores him. "Please review it carefully. Or would you like to personally try out the test version of the Goldfish Plant Screaming Roller Coaster?"

King Enma: QAQ!!!

At the end, Hozuki faces the camera and delivers his closing remarks:

"Those were some glimpses into the lives of the underworld's permanent residents. Death is not the end, but the beginning of another set of social rules and regulations. Work, entertainment, and everyday disputes all proceed in an orderly fashion under the jurisdiction and mediation of King Enma's Hall."

"We welcome the living to keep following life in the underworld. If you need help planning for life after death, call King Enma's Hall in advance to book a consultation. That's all for today's program. Karashi, Nasubi, show our guests out."

The gates of King Enma's palace, covered in faces wailing in anguish, are shut by two little demons.

"Bang!"

(A friendly reminder: This program was specially produced by the Publicity Department of King Enma's Hall and filmed entirely on location in hell. Sponsored by the River of the Underworld Ferry Company and the Goldfish Plant Ecological Farm. Please remain calm while watching. If excessive fright causes your soul to leave your body, you do so at your own risk.)

*If you have any fresh ideas, or there are characters you like whom I haven't included, let me know, everyone! I'll do my best to add them!

Death is merely the beginning of another wonderful story. Friends in the world of the living, are you ready to have your worldview refreshed?

The Underworld's Song of Joy will show you the unusual "life" and vitality of the world of the dead. Remember to tune in!

Theme: A celebration that never ends, and dreams that live on even when unfinished.
