The thing about Nazuna is. He never catches a break. He was a church choir singer. He had a chuuni phase. The school Casanova thought he was a girl and hit on him. His height capped at 160 when he was 16. His voice changed when he was 16. He was emotionally and physically and lowkey sexually harassed by his boss (don't cancel the boss tho it's complicated). He coped with the above by going non-verbal. All this happened while he was the lead singer of his unit btw. The most important performance of his life was sabotaged and everyone found out he was lip syncing. He left his unit and the local theater kid immediately made him a single father of 3. Two of his kids have anxiety and the last one ADHD. He joined the Broadcast Club so The Sabotage would never happen again but the club has a whopping 2 other members, both of which have anxiety and are his juniors, so he might as well be sharing custody of them as well. He gets a lisp when he is angry which is bad because he is So Angry All The Time and it makes him look more like a kid. His new unit's debut show had an audience of two (2) people. They got flat broke from this. He spent his entire third year of high school jobbing. He was the second oldest student in school and his first year kids were all taller than him anyway. His ex-coworker directs all his misplaced anger towards him. He's in college. He got dragged out of his break and into the most important idol event of the year due to fan demand and is Completely out of practice. He moves into the company dorms because hey free housing and is assigned the dynamic of stopping Roommate A from convincing Roommate B to eat chalk. No matter what Nito does things just Keep Happening and it's honestly a miracle he didn't stab someone yet

I read this twitter thread months ago making a super interesting character study on Tatsumi, and I was finally able to find it again, so I wanted to share it!

The thread was written by @/LUM_est on twitter/X, and the link of the thread can be found here!

If you have time, I really recommend reading it—it gives so much insight and and a different perspective on Tatsumi as a character, discussing and pointing out sides of him I haven't seen being brought up before.

My favorite part of the thread is where OP discusses Tatsumi's extreme altruism, and how it borders on selfishness and self-centeredness.

[distortedmoondisc]

I probably should share the tatsumi analysis thread on a separate post now that I think about it. I really wish more people could read it because I think it's super interesting

[distortedmoondisc]

I finally found the Twitter thread where a Korean fan makes an analysis of Tatsumi's character! It can be found right here.

Here is the part that I referred to, about how Tatsumi's extreme altruism can be selfish:

Do you ever think about the parallels between Rinne and Aira

Not only they have a shared interest in protecting Hiiro and ensuring his well-being/growth as a person, (and it's extra interesting given how Aira sort of dislikes Rinne for how he dealt with Hiiro in general—by leaving him alone at their hometown and disowning him in the summer of the MDM—, so even though they have the same interests and goals regarding Hiiro, they aren't exactly friends nor like each other — though this is mostly from Aira's part, because Rinne does like Aira and even acknowledges him as someone important to Hiiro that he must keep in his life), but Aira kinda is what Rinne used to be, before his dreams of becoming an idol we're crushed by the new rules of ES.

!! Main Story, Episode 171, "Revolution"

I've seen many people talk about how Rinne and Aira would get along because they're both idol otakus, but I believe that's a common misunderstanding of Rinne's character, because Rinne isn't an idol otaku (at least not anymore). He doesn't like the current idol system and the way Ensemble Square is running the industry. That's why he tried to change it by force in the !! Main Story by acting out. This is different from Aira, who loves the idols born from this system, and is a participant in the ES system that is going to hurt the industry in the long run (because ES is mass producing idols like a factory, stripping them from their own individuality and what makes idols especially in the first place — which is why Aira likes idols to begin with! Because they're different from ordinary people!)

!! Main Story, episode 220, "Despair"

Aira is aware that the idol industry isn't perfect, in episode 171 he even acknowledges that the mass production of idols similar to items of consumption made in a factory is wrong and it strips idols from their beauty and value, but he doesn't have the insight and first hand experience with heartbreak as Rinne had, so he doesn't have the motivation to protest or change the way ES is running the industry. They both love idols and dreamed of becoming one, but Rinne isn't an idol otaku, because he can't be a fan of idols mass produced by the current system.

What Rinne does instead, is support underground idols that would otherwise be trampled or forced to disappear by ES because they don't fit their sets of standards (and because ES has monopoly in the idol industry, they can easily do this without much repercussions or public outcry) and gives them his protection. This is explained throughout the course of the story of Night Club.

Nigh Club, Epilogue 2

Aira tries to impersonate an ideal idol persona, as the ones he watched when he was younger. He wants to embody a model idol and inspire others as idols inspired him in the past. Rinne used to be similar, but ES arbitrarily destroyed his solo career making him lose that dream, and that's why he embodies the wild and rebellious persona he portrays on stage, which is a complete opposite to how a traditional idol should act (and this is a constant point of conflict between him and other idols, such as Himeru; Himeru tends to scold Rinne for being so wild and doing whatever he wants because it goes against what is expected of an idol, but in Night Club he comes to understand that this is Rinne's soft way to protest against ES, despite having lost to them in the first part of the !! Main Story).

(Sometimes, I wonder if Rinne is happy being the wild and playful self he is with Crazy:B, or if he would prefer to be on stage as an ideal idol like he used to do years ago....)

However, despite their differences and the dislike/intimidation Aira might feel towards Rinne, he admits he understands his feelings and where he comes from, and that he can't help but to relate to him due to the fact that they both love idols. Aira scolds Rinne in episode 220 "Despair" to make him stop his pity party, but later in episode 224 "Flutter" he comforts and encourages him instead—telling him that he should not give up being an idol, because he recognizes that Rinne loves idols as much as he does, and that he still has a reason to live because he has fans of himself and of Crazy:B waiting for him among the crowd, meaning that he is still loved and accepted by someone, despite all the wreckage he had caused.

(And if I'm allowed to get personal for a moment, I just need to make emphasis in how important Aira is to the development of the Amagi brothers in the last arc of the !! main story, and this scene is a perfect example of that. Aira is the one who encourages Rinne to join the others on stage and sing, and after that it is Hiiro that pushes Rinne to give that step which finally leads them to perform on stage together 🥹)

So as we can see, Rinne and Aira have a lot of similarities, but they act in completely different ways due to their circumstances. They have similar backgrounds as idol lovers but they have different views and feelings about the industry and the profession, (however, they seem to share the same ideals as to what an idol should be, and love the same type of ideal idol inside their hearts). Adding to that their shared most beloved person, Hiiro, and how the two of them want what's best for him but they have a point of contention due to Rinne's bad actions in the !! Main Story, and their relationship becomes x10 more interesting, and I wish we talked about it more!

And we know Happyele hasn't forgotten about them, because Aira appeared in Rinne's recent relationship chart, just below Hiiro.

(also, a little unrelated, bu i think it's funny that despite having a heart to heart at the ending of the main story, their relationship is still "want to tease him" and "he's a little scary" ahdks Aira, who scolded Rinne in front of hundreds of people in the MDM, regressed to feeling intimidated and troubled by him. A couple of friends commented that it was probably because Aira had a burst of courage in the MDM because of the severity of the situation, so he had the determination to call out Rinne, a senior that he particularly feels intimidated by, publicly without second thought. It is canon that after the fact, Aira admitted that looking back on the MDM he felt embarrassed for doing such a bold thing. Idk, it's just something i find very interesting and fun about their dynamic www)

So this leads me to believe that they haven't forgotten about the history these two had in the main story, and all I can do is just wait for them to expand on their relationship and dynamic more eventually in some future event.

“subaru was mean to chiaki in meteor impact!!” YES AND NO.

1st.- subaru was getting bullied by his classmates

2nd.- he is cold to chiaki at first but he warms up to him incredibly fast after seeing he means no harm, he attends to basketball practice more often even though it doesnt benefit him and even starts calling him morisawa senpai.

3rd and most important.- it was subaru who first offered chiaki to save kanata together. It was chiaki who refused bc he actually doesn’t think of himself as a hero. This triggers subaru a lot bc chiaki was the first ray of light he has seen in YEARS, he made him actually believe that heroes could exist and even though nobody saved subaru at his worst, they could save kanata. But chiaki refused!! What made him so different from the ‘friends’ his father had that after the incident let him die in prison? that never cleaned up his name and subaru and his mom had to deal with all those consecuences? That is WHY, subaru says ‘you are no different from the ones that killed my father’ and left. In subaru’s mind, chiaki has deceived him into thinking that someone, somebody could be saved, but he is just a coward that when the time to act comes he retreats.
