#resolve samuel’s inferiority complex & fight with jake as a duo again

[melljam]

daniel copying gap’s technique from jinrang made me think about a certain someone …

… and his mocking mimic of techniques!

jinyoung’s speech about copy without talent seems to indicate that gitae has tried, and failed to emulate gap before (chapter 468)

it might be because gitae isnt truly copying, but rather crudely mimicking the attacks

however, a talented copy is also shown to fail in chapter 544 and here jinrang explains why:

gap’s strength relied on his desire to protect, which jinrang possesses and can therefore properly tap into the ‘technique’

its also shown through jake’s flashback in chapter 466, which enabled him to knock out drugged samuel (lmao) through his wish to protect

if there is a will, then there is a way

the protection of others is the greatest motivator (power of friendship, but with gangs!)

gap and jinrang have a desire to protect, but does gitae?

no, absolutely not!

and that will be his downfall :(
