This was more of a fuckup than I originally imagined it would be, but anyway here's my Tonkotsu without the pork but with Tonkatsu and one drink I saw in anime and can't remember the name.

Starting with the Tonkotsu broth.

First take your pig bones and trotters if you have them, I didn't so I just got some generic pig bones with a sliver of meat still in for 1 buck. Let them soak in water overnight to get the initial gunk out(1).
Next boil them for 10-15 minutes while taking the scum out(2), then rinse the bones, put them in cold water(3), clean the pressure cooker then fill it with water again(not all the way since you're actually going to put the lid on this time) and put the bones back in (4). Keep boiling it and taking the scum out until it stops(5).
you're going to put some shit in to give it an extra flavor. The scallions I bought last week for this ended up going back so I got fucked and just used two onion quarters, one clove of garlic and some white pepper(6). Put it all in the pressure cooker, put the lid on and let it cook for two hours. At the end it should be a creamy white, but since I used cheap bones instead of following either of the two recipes I mixed together, it came out not as white as it should(7). Still smelled really fucking good though.

Then comes the Mayu, this nigger is going to fuck me by the end of this recipe.

Put sesame oil and diced garlic on a frying pan, the oil should cover the garlic(8). Fry it until it's brown (9) then keep it on low heat until it gets black, then take it out of the fire (10). After this you should blend it together but someone fucked my blender so I guess this is how far I can take it.
The dashi is surprisingly simple for how much I fucked it up.
You should use kombu, but that doesn't exist in this country unless you want to order 100 bucks worth of it from the internet. I just used nori instead. Weed is weed, not even Snoop Dogg goes into specifics. Ignore the marks that you should follow when using it for sushi like you should(11).
Anyway, put it in a bot with water, heat it up until it's steaming but don't boil it(12) then put the lid on and turn the fire off.
After 10 minutes you put the bonito flakes in. That's another unknown substance, however, bonito flavored powder is the best I could get(13), still smelled fishy so I guess it's okay. Put it in and wait 5 minutes(14)
Next you take it out and mix it with shoyu and salt.(15)

The drink is a fucked up version of a drink from that one marriage propaganda anime.
First you need plum booze. I make mine by putting the only plum there's for sale on a pot with sugar(16) then cover it with vodka(17) and leave it for a few months.
For the drink you just mix it 1:1 with lemon soda(18). It's pretty good but you should notice that the liqueur is way stronger than it tastes. I got fucked up one time due to it.

Onto the Tonkatsu.
Even this one is fucked because I didn't notice the pork I bought was some thin half bone, quarter fat, quarter meat shit until I opened it today.
You want to take the meat out of the freezer a couple hours prior so it won't be cold on the inside and cook better.
First I season it with salt, white pepper and parsley(19), then I use wheat flour to put a layer between the egg and the seasoning(20).
For the egg mixture it's just egg and any cooking oil you have(21), you dip the pork in it, then cover it with panko. Once is enough but twice will make it more crunchy(22).
Then you fry it and it's done(23).

I fucked up and forgot to take a picture of the last part, but pretty much you just cook the udon (24), then heat the broth together with dashi and just a bit of mayu and it's done.

I fucked up and put too much mayu, so while the udon tasted fine, it wasn't the sort of tonkatsu you would slurp up afterwards(25).

Anyway that's it. Hopefully you won't almost burn your house down, have a blackout while cooking, or fuck up as much as I did.

[Tl note:sorry for the mess]
