everytime i see haebom i always remember takemichi for some reason...

like, the similarity and personality???? anways, cherry blossoms after winter is so sweet and fluffy :3

is it just me or i don't see any light in his eyes...because i know how wakui draws takemichi's eyes. impossible that that's not gonna have any light even at night.

manjiro's song for shinichiro (takemichi)

that if i can't be close to you,

i'll settle for the ghost of you

i miss you more than life

i'm getting brain rot from the leaks but I'll just talk about shin for a while

SO HERE'S THE THING, we still don't know who Shinichiro is and what character he is. GO AHEAD, FIGHT ME. i really think that there's more to shinichiro's character that we don't know, and mikey's perception of him isn't enough.

who is he? how did he end the feud between benkei and wakasa? what made him so respected in the delinquent world even though he's weak? why is he so attractive like tf-

here, I have some characters in mind that can show more of shinichiro and they can explain more about his character.

wakasa, benkei, takeomi (his backstory was a bit he-centric), Mikey (MOSTLY MIKEY), and granpa sano (yes I did say that)

let me explain:

for the feud part, like how did he stop the fight, I really think benkei can explain it very well. i think this guy can point out very specific and important details about something and has a good memory. he doesn't overexaggerate stuff n can tell stories without leaving such important details and can explain very well.

why not wakasa though? he has a sarcastic ass, but not just that. i think he'll explain more of shinichiro's character and personality, and that's the reason why I really need wakasa looking back on who shinichiro is. but let's just say, he may exaggerate some things about him. (I'm a shinwaka shipper so that might change my perspective a little)

and I hopefully believe that he lost his smile after shinichiro died. I think they're close enough.

and Mikey, MIKEY SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO EXPLAIN WHO SHINICHIRO WAS. as his older brother, he sees him every day and he idolizes him so much. and if shinichiro was alive, he can explain to takemichi about mikey's dark impulsivity.

and lastly, granpa sano (if we can). he very much knows his grandson and if we get to see shin in grandpa sano's perspective, then the whole world will shake.

(bonus: I also want to hear senju about shinichiro)

that's just my opinion, but I really want to know shin's backstory

takemichi isn't weak.

i've been thinkin' about this for a few days now and i know that takemichi is not weak, he was average strength, probably a few decimals away from average. But the reason why people perceive him as weak is that he's surrounded by people who's strong (like mikey, draken, wakasa, or senju).

shinichiro is much weaker than michi, like one punch from him and he already has a one-way ticket to heaven.

there are two things that can trigger takemichi into being strong;

-if he's pissed off, or;

-he's determined.

remember the first episode? yeah? he punched him right off the bat, and HE WAS PISSED. also with kisaki, he punched him so strongly. But i like to think that kisaki and michi have the same strength.

The second is determination, like how he punched taiju, a man who's 10x stronger than him. Also to kisaki (yeah, all kisaki)

he's strong, stronger than shinichiro, but weaker than the rest of the cast, who knows how to fight.

and everybody knows the reason why he's the strongest in tr, right?
