Probably the best thing you can maybe do is add the ubuntu repos to apt. This is done by first doing:
add-apt-repository "deb http://apt.pop-os.org/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs)-updates main multiverse restricted universe"
and then running apt update again. Afterwards doing apt search fcitx5 should net you a few more packages
I think its the exact same

Also didnt change anything for sudo apt install --install-recommends fcitx5
If you have a bit of time, I can try installing popos into a vm and try to set fcitx5 up in there.
Unfortunately I have to leave in about 30 minutes. But I do have the time tomorrow.
The biggest problem right now is that I need my QWERTY layout back because I cant work with the US one.
Just remove fcitx5 for the time being then. It’s probably the easiest solution
I removed the packages but it didnt help…
Under Input Sources in the OS keyboard settings, it does show the correct one though.
You probably also need to log out and log back in, or alternatively kill the running fcitx5 process if there is one

I did this yesterday, but onto a live usb. I got fcitx5 with mozc up and running. Only, I used the PopShop (package manager) to get fcitx5. I had to apt install fcitx5-mozc however.
I did not have to add the ubuntu repo so I’m wondering why the mozc isnt showing up for wanisnani at all (even after update)
Still have the stick, I’ll boot into it to try to replicate

Alrighty, I did a reboot and thank god, I have the correct layout again 
This is what shows up in the Popshop when I search for fcitx5
edit: for some reason I do have the Mozc Settings application installed.

Ok so, I uninstalled the fcitx5 package before my reboot, so that is not installed anymore but Japanese mozc seems to be. I added it as an input source and I now can actually switch with super+space. Even IME is working oO, I have no clue why though. テスト

I grabbed both Fcitx 5 and Fcitx 5 configuration there
then installed mozc using apt because it didn’t pop up in PopShop.
A new image of Pop!_OS finds mozc using apt without modification
iBus and mozc come (partially) installed with PopOS. If you have that running and it doesn’t freak out with multiple instances running or completion windows popping up in strange places then you might as well just use that
Yeah, it seems to work fine. I will definitely test it out over the next days.
Thank you both for your help, greatly appreciated <3
