once again thinking about my ideal 3rd drb match up and how it’d stack up with plot beats and so far all i got is
🔴💥⚪️: true hypnosis mic opponents, maybe jakurai ends up on a side for further development to save yotsutsuji and that’s against ichiro’s current goal
🔵💥🟠: haven’t quite figured out why, but rei vs samatoki is the angle i’m thinking about
🟡💥🟣: all plot stakes division vs no stakes division lol idk really but i’m leaning towards a bonds angle or if hypmic wants to be real freaky, the side effects angle 🤔
#this is vee speaking#i still think a new format could happen but idk lol there’s so many unknowns rn#like what’s next specifically lmao#i personally feel it would be a waste not to have jakurai working to finalise development for this potential other true hypnosis mic lol#like they teased him joining chuuoku but then didn’t commit?????? huh??????#what about his struggle with causing more harm vs saving that one?????? like come on now??#so here’s me trying to put him back on that track lol#why not sasara vs samatoki you might ask lol and my answer is that’s the poster fight but the real fight is between rei and samatoki lol#samatoki was weirdly interested in rei watching bb vs dh and there’s a panel in showdown battle where samatoki looks……#he’s very hard to read actually while listening to ichiro#samatoki and rei are paralleling in the block party as individuals moved by ichiro’s ideals#so while i’m not sure if ichiro would be the reason to fight (🎋hahahaha🎋) i think there’s potential for strife#*sighs at bat* why doesn’t kr want to do anything with y’all lmao#if they went the side effects angle it’d be cool to have ramuda the guy whose clones die using the true hypnosis mic#vs kuukou who might be suffering from side effects (and against the guy that caused them tho he’s forgiven ramuda lol)#jyushi’s hypnosis ability to ‘recover’ is genuinely interesting because what is he recovering???? and why haven’t we seen it yet?????#maybe they’re lying in wait lol (delusional)#bonds angle is me grasping at straws lol but here’s how i can get my ideal match ups—

man, i was this close to making a post about how the current teams just suit each of the leaders and why they do but oddly enough i don’t think we’ve gotten enough of sasara and kuukou for me to comfortably say why they need their current teams 🤔
like, for ichiro it’s always been his family, samatoki with his tragically long list of partners and loved ones leaving him has a team who would put themselves on the line for him, ramuda has a protection squad that loves him for who he is and doesn’t care about what he isn’t, jakurai has a team that shares his ideals and wants to hold him up even at his lowest
but sasara and kuukou??????? like i can maybe say for sasara they’re going to give him the ride of his life since they’re so interesting but that’s about as surface level as jakurai’s initial interest in dohifu. and i can’t even begin to guess what kuukou needs and is going to get from his team wow 🤔🤔🤔

So what are your thoughts on all the new songs? 💜💜💜
*beats back the kuukou/bat brainrot* i had been meaning to talk about everything lol i’m sorry i have very bad tunnel vision when it comes to kuukou 😭
the album itself has a collective relaxation theme to it and still think it’s neat we have an album with a shared image throughout it!!!!! as for the songs themselves:
cross a line: the song kicked off with some music roots i grew up with and instantly became a fave from that alone lol but then the like, last third of the song after the individual verses hits and i’m going insANE ITS SO GOOD!!!!!
iwbp: not to be confused with iwgp lol no but way to take the vibes back!!!!!!!! if iwgp was the bros practicing their rap cypher in the park, here’s the bros showing off their skills for all of bukuro to see!!!!! there’s a sense of untouchable confidence in the song that feels good to see coming off the back of re:start ;w;
scarface: i listened to a twt space gushing about scarface that articulated everything i felt about the song far better than i ever could so i actually have much to say about mtc rn lol but i’ll try to keep it relatively short lol 😭 i remember back when we got the first full album, hayami-san basically said that fp won the album and it’s definitely something i agreed with but it made me a little sad because i thought shinogi was the best song on the album that didn’t need to gut punch me like stella did. i’m pleased to say for the second full album that MTC HAS DONE IT AGAIN WAY TO PUT OUT THE BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM LOL!!!!!!!!! i!!!!!!!! am so fcking glad they are actually utilising kamio-san’s talent as a musician now i have been waiting for this!!!!!!! pissed there’s still a filter over his voice but whatever and my absolute favourite part of the song rn is the nod to the actual scarface movie, how they made juto say the iconic ‘say hello to my little friend’ and followed it up with samatoki saying the jp dub version of the line that’s 😩😩😩 that’s too good calm down guys i can’t handle it��
torima get on the floor: the same way bb took it back to iwgp, fp’s new song is reminiscent of shibuya marble texture, and then you look at the journey fp’s songs have, like the fact that they have a journey as their theme, and here we have get on the dance floor where they’re basically setting each other free from that arduous journey WHEW 😮‍💨 the callbacks to their first solos was inspired!!!!!! ramuda clapping back at samatoki calling him chuuoku’s dog AND cutting his strings as a puppet wtf????? wtf?????😭😭😭
synchro city: mtr please i’ve been waiting for four years for y’all to just get married to each other why aren’t y’all married to each other yet they just want to be next to each other guys ;w; quiet days to themselves are nice but what’s the point if they aren’t beside each other ;;;w;;; give them another papillon day they need each other guys ;;;;;w;;;;;
enishi: save for probably scarface, enishi is the only other song that’s a departure from the rest of dh’s other songs tonally 🤔 like it’s really introspective and you don’t see that from dh’s other songs and it’s pretty dope honestly. i’m still really glad rei got the rio treatment and got to carry that song lol
hella awesome banquet: i know i said scarface was the best song on the album but the other half of that statement is that ITS A SHAME HELLA AWESOME BANQUET ALSO EXISTS WE HAVE TWO KINGS ON THIS ALBUM‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ yes!!!!!! i am biased!!!!!!!! but if you aren’t losing your shit the moment kuukou trills (because that is your cue to get HOT) then you’re doing the song wrong lol!!!! hitoya alone!!!!!!!!!! hitoya has the best verses what the hell???? kuukou at the end when he gives you exactly what sutra beat you need to lose yourself to and practically moans it out sir!!!!!! jyushi only needed to be himself and he was the vibe of the whole song!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭 i am really looking forward to watching this one live lol it sounds like it’ll be a lot of fun to perform

don’t expect any cohesion out of this outta this by here’s my thoughts and speculations on the hypmic guidebook image. i’m sorry. it’s stupidly long. 
Tumblr media
alright so at first glance, you kinda gotta panic a little because holy cow, very few of the teams are actually together?? bb and mtr are the only two (2) groups actually in close proximity with each other while mtc and fp are all over the place. which is weird since we just got through fp at least reconfirming that they are each other’s true posse and definitely should not be separated right???
big brained twitter users tho came through and it clicked that everyone is separated because their agendas/goals are vastly different from each other, not because of their weak bonds with each other. so lets take a look at where everyone stands with each other
Tumblr media
let’s start with the buster bros!!! it comes as a surprise to no one, but the bros are still together since jiro and saburo are largely following after their big bro. i do have a point to mention about saburo, but that’ll come later.
so on to mtc!! save for probably fp, their group has the widest separation. but given each of their goals, it makes plenty of sense. samatoki wants to bring his sister home. juto wants to bring about the end of drugs. rio hasn’t made any grand movements, but he is keeping an eye out on chuohku. different goals, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t one as a team.
fp!! you could feasibly make the bermuda triangle with how far apart they are! fp’s goals, as of now, do align since they are truly together to prevent ramuda from, y’know, dying, but their individual agendas are separate. in a sense. i’ll try to expand on this in a bit.
next is mtr!! much like bb, they are together as jakurai leads them towards his goal and hifumi and doppo follow out of their desire to support him.
and next we have dh!! their placement pretty much follows what went down in their debut drama track, sasara and rosho have been brought together (by rei) and are determined to make it work as they partner up with rei, whose goals are widely unknown, pretty sus and definitely not aligned with sasara and rosho. and to speculate a little about sasara and his placement somewhat behind the rest of the leaders, i think that it’s because sasara has no clear goal as to why he’s participating in the rap battles outside of wanting to be with rosho. he is right where he wants to be, with rosho and doesn’t have any current goals aside from staying with him. at least, none that we know of.
which brings me to bat. and kuukou specifically. but notice, none of the bat members are together as well, and like so, their individual goals are pretty different from each other. hitoya is here to beat jakurai for once in his life, jyushi has a strong desire to overcome himself and to be a stronger person, and kuukou has barely left any room for jesus between him and ichiro because kuukou, similar to sasara, is here for ichiro. this is my personal headcanon, but i do believe that kuukou actually remembers that ramuda was the one who hypnotised him into breaking things off with ichiro. neither one have forgotten the other (e.g. ichiro naming his new team after his duo with kuukou, kuukou at the end of the bat debt drama track saying “wait for me, ichiro...!”) so i do think how close kuukou and ichiro are reflects their mutual desire to be together as a team again. 
another nifty thing i noticed was that there’s a divide amongst the cast, split straight down the middle. you can see it with how gentaro/jyushi, doppo/saburo, samatoki/ichiro, are back to back. and on each side, you have one person posed unlike the rest of them; on the right you rei in the back facing away from everyone. on the left, ramuda sitting on the ground. so, i propose that this divide shows who has goals against chuohku, and those who, while not on their side, are entrenched in chuohku’s plans.
Tumblr media
ramuda, as we know, has the biggest chip on his shoulder when it comes to chuohku. they kinda found a replacement for him in his enemy jakurai, discarded him, left him die, that sort of thing. if anyone wants to see chuohku burn, it’s him. anybody on his side of the picture has goals against chuohku. 
ichiro intends to ‘break the wall,’ to topple the chuohku regime and his brothers are right by his side with kuukou there with him as his partner, as previously mentioned. again, we don’t know yet of sasara’s goals outside of being with rosho, but in ‘ahh, osaka dreamin’ night,’ rei’s verse states, “teacher, comedian, doctor, lawyer- Those who are being looked up to as pros are all swindlers,” so there is something going on, not only with sasara, but also with rosho. jyushi is kinda unknown, though ramuda expressed quite a bit of annoyance dealing with him at the end of the bat debut drama track. rio is out here with prior knowledge about plot points such as the hypnosis canceller, in cahoots with former military and hacking into chuohku databases all with an illegal gun strapped to his back. like some of these homies wish they had the balls and the initiative. 
as for the right side, rei is the definition of an anti hero. he’s not on anybody’s side, he working with whoever has the power to get his goal done. and that’s on par with anybody on his side of this picture; everybody here is balls deep in chuohku shenanigans, whether they want to be or not.
samatoki’s whole schtick is to free his sister from chuohku. as we’ve seen in the finale of the tdd manga, samatoki will willing go along with whatever and burn any and all bridges if that means his sister is safe. jakurai is likely on this side due to chuohku doing their damnest to get jakurai within their grasp so they can harness the true hyponsis mic’s full potential using jakurai’s healing ability. and where jakurai goes, doppo and hifumi would be loathe to leave him alone. juto maybe be a cop, but it’s implied he is a high ranking one given his change in outfits from tdd canon to present time (from a cop uniform to a crisp suit.) he’s high enough on the ladder for ichijiku, japan’s #2 big boss lady, to know of his work and to be summoned to aid nemu, another high ranking chuohku officer, in an arrest. hitoya, dice, and gentaro are all vague in connection. hitoya, however, is again part of rei’s callout verse as mentioned earlier, so he may be a swindler in the sense of not unwilling to work with chuohku to further his goals (defeating jakurai) and maybe making some hard cash. gentaro is shady as hell; he seems to be connected to a group called plunderer, which chuohku has control over. as for dice, hypmic likes dropping hints that he’s related to otome.
i mentioned i had an observation about saburo, and without getting too into character analysis (ichiro/rei/saburo similarities as people), it’s interesting to note saburo is on the border of this divide and the closest to rei, which could be a play into where we left saburo, questioning ichiro, after the events of helter skelter.
last general observation! with all the speculation i just dropped, the majority of characters that tie directly to chuohku are hanging in the back. we have rei, gentaro, juto, dice, and rio. i thought it was a neat detail, but it struck me as weird that ramuda was way in the front when he’s probably the most direct result of chuohku existing. but... it’s not like the leaders aren’t tied directly into chuohku. they were chosen by chuohku to be center stage in battles meant to appease the general populace into focusing their aggression on each other.
so looking at the pic again, i noticed a kind of... border??
Tumblr media
the ones with obvious connections made a circle. i say obvious and included hitoya and rosho into this because of rei’s verse that i mentioned before. so i’m wondering... does jyushi have some stakes involved in chuohku?? he is a little further into the middle than gentaro, but he’s in line with juto?? this may be a case of over analyzing, but i did point out ramuda’s strange comment about jyushi being annoying to deal with which could randomly come back at any point in the story. or not lol. anyway i’m done, thanks for coming to my ted talk it was as long as an actual ted talk
