I love the five oddballs and I feel like an underrated part of their character is how they comment upon how society treats talented beings and the dangers of placing someone so talented on a pedestal. The isolation the Oddballs felt from others, especially the OG three oddballs, and their arcs relating to humanity is one of the most intriguing aspects of this game’s writing
#enstars#five oddballs#five eccentrics#rei sakuma#kanata shinkai#wataru hibiki#natsume sakasaki#shu itsuki#I think this one the former sdr2 (specifically hajime hinata) part of my brain talking#this also applies to leo during checkmate and how he was viewed only for his composing talent#I feel as though crossroad does an excellent job of touching upon this theme through rei’s relationship with keito#meteor impact too#it is a shame neither of them got animated bc they have such a core theme from the war about the relationship between talent and hard work#and how easy it is to isolate geniuses and feel inferior to them
