Of course, it is. The thing to ponder is that the people that are most afraid/disturbed by the presence of Baku are going to be the people most likely to be IN the presence of Baku.
⚠ Nom, nom. ⚠
Say, old places that the Simurgh had visited --did someone run a Baku count in Switzerland? The damn things are multiplying like Tribbles!

Baku Rangers Unite ... the BakuZord!!!
The ponies will love the Baku Rangers.
And now I'm thinking of him travelling to other dimensions with the Bakus. Witness the Baku on the Citadel.
They eat negative emotions... clearly they are agents of our God Emperor here to make Chaos weaker. Actually if I think about it the Lords of Excess would be an all you can eat meal for the Bakus in many ways.
What is the plural of a Baku? If there is None I suggest Baku. Like sheep. Because the Baku sounds better than bakus

Baku Rangers VS Baka Rangers.
Who wins? Who loses?
You decide!
I could not resist.. but that would probably turn into a fight for the awwwnes.

I certainly don't think so. Especially since my first thought was "If they ever go to the Naruto-verse nearly every named Shinobi is getting a Baku sidekick since having trauma of some description is basically a prerequisite to rising above Genin-level"

That sounds like a fast-track to solving the entire setting, seeing how their core conflict's tagline is "cycle of hate".

Not exactly. It more postpones their core conflict for an unknown amount of time (possibly indefinitely). A Baku doesn't resolve the Underlying Trauma only the hate that Trauma causes. This means that the people also have to want to change for the better and overcome the cycle and thusly their own Trauma for any permanent progress to be made unless Variance is willing to stick around so long that all current generations tainted by said Trauma die off.
Naruto would still need to kick start his little movement of "breaking the cycle of hatred" and use his inborn charisma to convince others to take those first steps of confronting their Trauma for a better tomorrow and there would still be those who prefer to embrace their trauma rather than overcome it just like in Canon - so while the Baku may mitigate the problem, they don't exactly solve it. On the flip side, a lot (but not all) of the confrontations that Naruto used Talk-no-Jutsu in would be more philosophy debates then desperately trying to talk down the Shinobi trying to slit your throat without the underlying emotions from Trauma escalating matters, so that is a plus.

Baku is Japanese and the Japanese language doesn't really do plural nouns.
So you are right, the plural of baku is baku.

And suddenly, Kakashi is now functional enough to be a decent sensei. Everything Changes.

Don't forget Tsunade is able to face her demons and return to Konoha and probably overcome her phobia of blood, all the Bijuu become easier to befriend, all the Jinchūriki become better adjusted, Pein probably starts to cop on that he is being puppeted and is betraying Yahiko's memories, the Uchiha as a whole are better off (it is called the "Curse of Hatred" after all), Hinata gets confidence and about a dozen other things shift to the better. Seriously the introduction of Baku, after enough time, basically causes the whole setting to rewritten to the point of being an AU due to some fundamental changes in key pieces across the board. It doesn't solve every problem but it certainly shakes things up a lot...

I bet he would still read porn to annoy people.
That actually would change a lot, and make it less of a messed up world. Though the question becomes what race would he become?

Woah, lets not get crazy here, I said he'd get better, not become a different person. It's fairly safe to say that if we're hitting the point where his continued reading habits should be bet on, Kakashi has probably already been replaced by a "Oh crap! Ninja Vanish!! :Now secret, hidden text-based Ninja: "phew...."🤫 remember, you see nothing....

The list of things for him to handle was still long.
Adam was trying to follow the spirit of his 'isolation', even if his soul was filled with visitors and his power was flooding the planet with video game interfaces.
Also, it was easier to do fun stuff without the girlfriend noticing sometimes. Simmy may have suggested the power ranger Baku idea, but it was awesome and could only make this grim-dark universe a bit less horrifying.
Anyway, the fun police had cracked down... for probably good reasons. Producing immortal mind consuming spiritual elephant-tigers-whatever was probably something he should have run by a few more people before designing cute costumes for them. Thankfully the level of background belief was still too weak for Baku to just spawn everywhere, but they may start popping up one at a time in very dense population centers.
Meh, it should be fine.
Now thoroughly bored, he mentally checked his list for this Realm.
Scion? Either non-existent or not local as a threat. Theoretically handled anyway, as more and more shards become consumed by Adam's 'System', eventually the shard that creates that Avatar will fall into his control and the danger would be mostly neutered.
As for the Endbringers...
A soft blue feather tickled his neck out of sight from the cameras.
Mostly handled. Two-thirds were happy and absent, the expected others had either not been created or only formed when called to use, and the last one is humoring herself by sexually harrasing his girlfriend.
So... check?
Stabilize society. Uh.
Well, throwing everyone into power-ups without warning was a problem, but on the other hand things were going surprisingly well so far. Especially now that Simmy was handling the prayer situation, as she could selectivly make choices or suggest changes for Twilight to try out on the 'Tithe' system. A few people gaining specific powers here and there had prevented several bombings and mass shootings in the last hour alone.
Lots of smaller or longer term problems were being handled on a case by case basis on a scale that would have required an army of operators otherwise.
However... a LOT of corrupt governments were suddenly presented with a population that would NOT put up with shit. Many places were in conflict while before they simply slaughtered a few crowds of people for random reasons. This social unrest mostly only affects areas with low population happiness levels, as any functional society would have a large group of supporters ALSO gaining abilities... what a mess. Not HIS mess though, not if he could help it.
Basically, the world wasn't skittles and rainbows yet.
On the positive side, Case 53's were either gaining a human form now or brand new powers all together, and a significant number of believers were going for the 'Overdraw' ability Simmy created, since many times the bizarre body given was fairly attractive and a normal body could be gained later if desired.
More power for short term weirdness? A lot of people said yes, and seeing so many elves, metal golems, dryads, elementals, and so forth was helping the few case 53's who DIDN'T accept the offer see some additional social acceptance. Not everywhere of course, bigotry wasn't just solved or anything, but having the 'odd group' being sexually attractive solved a lot of early problems.
Well, world peace wasn't really his goal anyway, he was just aiming to prevent societal collapse. Thank goodness Simmy was helping with that, because Adam came close to destroying the economy a few times even while trying to be subtle and on the down low.
Better to just move on from that point.
He glanced at the last Baku, the white one, as the others had already wandered away. "You might as well go too. Your friends are having fun, no reason to be stuck here with me while I wait."
The small ball of fur snored and rolled over.
Well, that was fine as well.
He looked back at his mental list.
Money? Check. Bounties from freeing Gray Boy's victims alone would have been more than enough, forget his multiple businesses being run by Cut-Throat Sonia.
She was having the time of her life, all grumbling aside. Adam had kept an eye on her initially, and she was a shark in a small pond as more and more property in Brockton Bay became her territory even as she reorganized all his random businesses. Her female only hiring practice was uh... maybe an issue. For now, Danny was hiring the qualified men that she was passing over, so it should be fine for a bit.
Thankfully the newly empowered Villa employees were able to use his powers well enough that he wasn't needed to make parts or help with power construction of new safe houses and such. They were slower, needed to cooperate together, and not all of them were as good as rapid prototyping like him... but many hands made light work in this case. And not having to show up all the time to heal people or fill the liquid metal reservoirs was its own reward.
Anyway. Money wouldn't be an issue.
Next... well.
He hadn't wanted it, but at this point he also had a growing Religious and Political power base as well.
Ignoring that. He had enough problems without tackling something so far away from his skill set, and he didn't want to waste a SINGLE power charge on learning how to be a lawyer or whatever. Why make it easier to do jobs he hated? Someone would eventually find out and he would have to get involved with that garbage!
Finally, problematic individuals. Coil had to be handled early, moron couldn't keep his nose out of his business, but finally he could get started on this issue officially.
Lung had been on his 'List of People to Kick' for a while anyway, as human sex trafficking was something he wasn't willing to overlook like weaker vices, gambling and drugs and such. Trying to stop everything was impossible of course, but slavery was one of his larger personal dislikes. After which, it would become an issue that everyone ELSE would dislike. Period.
Still, being stuck here physically was holding him back from the BIG issues he had wanted to address, individual wise.
Slaughterhouse 9 was one such problem. Something similar to the Boogie Man to most of the civilized world.
Now that Simmy wouldn't drop from the sky and wear Adam's skull as a hat, he had the option to get rid of those monsters now. BEFORE Jack Slash got his blood soaked fingers on little Riley, the girl who would be tortured into mutilating her own parents in an effort to save their lives.
'Bonesaw', as she would be called, would be like the healer Panacea but with surgical operations as a focus. Twisted by Jack, she would enhance humans by ripping them open without antiseptics or pain killers, tinkering with replacement parts made from flesh or metal or other, and sew them together into monstrosities, some slaved to be her puppets. Her gifts would be forced to make her attackers stronger, harder to kill, faster, more deadly.
Not even mentioning the plagues and viruses she could and would release and embed inside her own flesh, the little girl would be forced to do Jack Slash's bidding in an effort to be a 'Good Girl' for the man who killed her loved ones. For years. While hurting the young, innocent, and uninvolved.
So yeah, there would be no more Slaughterhouse 9. As soon as possible too.
The sudden paper slip floating over his eyes made him pause... then give a grin.
Simmy had an idea. An awful idea.
The Simurgh had a wonderful, awful idea.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Bill blinked as a new window from System popped up. "Quest alert?"
A quick glance showed that his drinking buddies had gotten similar messages. Huh.
He focused and the window expanded. Oh, there were sub options.
Class Quests, Local Quests, National Quests, World Quests.
Well. That was a thing.
He and his buds checked, and a quick glance showed that Class Quests varied heavily even between the two guys like him with the same class, 'Police Officer'. They seemed tailored to individual skills and abilities, rather than to any cop in the area.
Most of the Local Quests were shared, and the last two categories were identical as far as they could tell.
Bill watched Grace accept a quest that rewarded a whole skill level up instantly when she finished thirty court cases, and that really opened the flood gates as everyone began selecting what to work towards.
Only three quests could be active at a time, but the help options mentioned that progress would be saved if someone dropped a quest to work on a new one for a while. Like if some World Quest came up, for example.
Curious, Bill was the first to look through THAT category.
It included quests to research events or ideas, produce materials or products, all kinds of stuff. The rewards were not only huge, but included actual cash prizes as well for some and not just a power increase. Some of the more massive quests (Build a Moon Base!) had rewards for partial participation or contribution efforts, and there were even 'Charity Quests' that rewarded altruistic pursuits like supporting artists or feeding the homeless or whatever.
But his eye eventually caught on a 'World Class' item sub-category labeled 'Kill Order'.
Hmm?
It had a list, filled with people he recognized from the official 'Kill Order' list the PRT published, where courts had confirmed legal death sentences if possible to apply them.
And the first was 'Slaughterhouse 9'.
His eyes widened as he saw the information revealed there.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Legend thanked the intern, the third to share the same information with him today, before falling into his chair in his office.
As one of the Triumvirate and the leader of the Protectorate, he had seen a lot. Not much could catch him so off guard, so unprepared. But maybe this was to be expected.
After all, unlike many of his coworkers, he hadn't joined Variance's System as it swept the globe. It was too risky. If it had a secret nefarious side to it, who would save the day then?
Now though, he was considering taking the plunge.
He glanced over his new notes.
The new Questing System was mostly busy work. You could even create your OWN quests, sacrificing personal ability levels or providing money or promissory notes as a reward. It was rapidly growing in popularity mere hours after being offered as an option, as even basic quests like 'Do your laundry son!' would grant actual experience towards a skill in addition to other rewards (like allowance).
Thankfully someone was monitoring the service, because no random hit jobs or theft requests had shown up yet, even if some people had put up quests to find rare ingredients or walk their dogs.
No, the issue was the 'Kill Order' quests under 'World Quest'.
Apparently, according to his people anyway, each person on that list had a profile given in the Quest acceptance window.
Name, Cape Name, Powers, Weaknesses... to some extent was expected, even if it was far more accurate than any publicly known. And 'The Unwritten Rules' never addressed the issue of people listed as 'kill on sight' before.
Legend did notice that the few people with living relatives that HE knew of didn't have their real name listed, so... maybe it was only being shared when relatives wouldn't suffer? No reason to kill a man's cousin or little girl if HE was the asshole.
Anyway, the shocking detail was the last few data points.
Past Appearances. Current Appearance. Past Locations. Current Location.
A list of images, showing full body and their face in VERY high resolution. And two maps, one filled with lines showing past travel and the other showing a pulsing dot on a separate window.
It came with the current distance from the quest follower. A listing of current equipment the target was wearing. The target's current health.
In the case of the Siberian, the naked tiger-stripe cannibal woman who was invincible and able to tear steel like paper, it showed that not only was she only a power projection from a different person, but the actual location of her 'Master' and his details as well. Capes with a history of using decoys, clones, robots or whatever would now be quite out of luck thanks to this thing.
It was... astonishing. And supposedly being updated in real time.
What... what was he supposed to do? With this level of operation intelligence, even amateurs with a tinkertech sniper rifle could take out some of the known threats on the list. Those people would likely die in the process, but they COULD theoretically win.
Even as he sat here stunned, he could almost feel the rush of people trying to get revenge against these monsters who tortured so many.
Could he bear the sorrow if under-prepared people threw their lives away? Even with this information, there would be many deaths as people tried to take on targets far stronger than they could handle, or ignored hostage situations in their grief and madness filled retaliatory strikes. Not to mention the bystanders.
With a heavy sigh, he made a decision. One that his friends would likely find unacceptably risky... but he had done far more risky things to save people before, with far lower potential payoffs.
"Variance, I would like to join the System."

That line about how a baku can eventualy spawn in a high population density area like cities gave me an idea on how the area itself can influence characteristics for them. Like a Batbaku slovenly stalking the night with his little bat cape and cowl trying to be all gruff and mysterious and a Superbaku flying (floating like a baloon) being the Paragon of Fluff. Picturing them making their own version JL makes me crack up.
