Always thinking about how Saiki likes to sing
What if I cried and threw up forever?
Specific differences from this episode I spin around in my head
I don’t think Kusuke knows what consent is
Amused by the Nendouisms
Ough my Saiki merch arrived
Hold on tight to this time, this place 'Cause everything you know will be erased
You were born inside your head and that is where you'll be when you are dead
You are just a boy, you are no man and Nobody you know will understand
You are just a boy, you are no man and Nobody you know will understand
Do you see the vision I have?
Something else so insignificant I can’t help fixate on is this interaction between the Saiki brothers, if I remember correctly this is the first time Kusuke involves other people that ARENT close to Kusuo (or at least at this point Kusuo doesn’t know his grandparents are also affected yet) into one of his plans
And the thing is he kinda comes off as genuinely surprised that his younger brother is so upset at the thought alone that he possibly harmed the locals, because why would he care so much for a bunch of strangers? Him caring about Kaidou and Nendou kinda makes sense since they’re friends, but I think he didn’t believe that Kusuo might’ve had the capacity to care beyond that
A thought reinforced by what Kusuke says in the end, “even you” which has not so great implications over his already unhealthy view of Kusuo but also reminds Kusuo himself about his brother’s perception on him. I do think it had a bit of impact on him because of how blank his eyes are when he responds, sure it could just be a inking error but I like to overthink it

Always thinking of this
The difference between Sorry Mom I won’t be able to take some of the stress off your plate and Sorry Dad I won’t be able to protect you from the consequences of your own actions anymore
Sorry Aiura, stole your outfit so I could put a hypervigilant delinquent trio together
Always thinking of this
I think about these two pages and their implications so often
#saiki k#tdlosk#the disastrous life of saiki k.#Having Kurumi as his mom definitely stopped this possibility like Saiki himself says but!!#Saiki had to choose to listen to her he already had to have some innate goodness to not break#I’m not sure if that makes sense or if not innate then make the choice to be good
Whenever I remember how Kusuo remembered himself as a baby and his younger years and how after skimming n looking back I couldn’t find anything from his pov where he was mean to his dad it makes me wonder…
How much of this is it possibly Kuniharu projecting because he’s so insecure? He might be smarter than the average baby but Kusuo is still very much a baby here
The first one feels like him experimenting on what he can do, the second comes off as him cleaning the wall after hearing what Kuniharu says he possibly could’ve been smiling in a ‘I took care of it way’ that was warped by Kuniharu’s hurt ego
And then the last just feels like a super powered baby taking things literally
Kuniharu blow up forever
Regular extended powerlessness activities
Something that sticks out to me that didn’t make it into the anime is Saiki saying he doesn’t think he wants to become a normal person at that point
I kinda wish it made it into the anime because it marks a interesting point A, what happened that made him change his mind and reach point b?
My personal theory is that it’s a mix of him getting more attached to his friends and the memories he buried getting brought to the surface, like he was hiding his powers just fine before that point and once again it boils down to him actually wanting to fit in but also his powers feeling even more like a burden since he feels guilt over how they drag his friends into his messes
