Ryuuji: Please do something nice for my son when I'm gone. Like play catch or buy him a tonka truck or something. Shuu: Ugh. Fine. Kid, what do you want? Ryouta: world peace Shuu: Shuu: Genocide it is.

i think my favorite thing about shuu as a character is that his actions are just absolutely inexcusable.

there is no "valid" excuse for murdering and cannibalizing children. there is no excuse for biologically weaponizing a child and traumatizing him to the point of suicide. he DELIGHTS in other people's suffering. he claims to have done this all for a purpose, but yet, he thinks that dismembering and decapitating a corpse to show to schoolchildren is funny. he laughs when hiyoko suggests that the same child he made the promise to might be suffering because of him.

like, he's not a gray character. yuuya is a gray character. he's made questionable decisions (bbl, the egg), because there wasn't a better option available to him.

and yet, despite just how horrible shuu is? he's understandable.

all of his actions stem from grief. he's been in grieve for YEARS. he claims everything stems from it. and a lot of his actions do. he invited almost all of the students to the school to investigate their ability to carry the charon virus, and the reason he isolated it in the first place was to fulfill his promise to ryouta.

look, i'll make jokes about how stupid misinterpreting "please, create a world where parents are no longer taken from their children, and wars no longer happen" as "please kill all humans" is, but you can still work through his faulty logic.

he was RAISED in the hawk party research facility. literally. he was like. 10 when ryouta was born. and he worked with ryuuji before then. obviously he thinks the solution to wars is what he was raised to believe.

and also? there's just... that element of grief to account for. everything he does is about it. he's the true antagonist of the game, like 99% of the problems can be accounted directly to him, but his grief is so present it just. it's so obvious, looking back on it.

he was thorough in trying to fulfill his promise. out of obligation, he claims.

holiday star shuu definitely gave me a new perspective. because he adopts miru and kaku, who hiyoko even notes he would probably murder under normal circumstances, because their anklets still say ryuuji k. on them. i was shocked when i was able to recognize his storybook as him the first playthrough. he's... he's just so simple.

none of his reasoning is justifiable. and he did WRONG. he did so much wrong. but doesn't that just make it more fun? doesn't that just make it so much more interesting?

[flamingthespian]

can you imagine harboring a hidden infatuation with your superior for years and then you’re at their death bed trying to muster up the courage to confess your romantic feelings and among their very last words they hit you with “you’ve always been like a son to me”

Kinda obsessed with the dynamic of post-bbl Hitori and Isa. Like a surprisingly chill Doctor who's ended up a bit fascinated with this weird fucked up quail, now that he's probably out of a job and finally realized there's more to this guy than he wanted everyone to believe.

A Hitori whose attitude towards Isa swings wildly between being the nice sleepy yet doting caretaker (because he's always revolved himself and everything he wanted to be around taking care of others), and trying to take Isa out ala that one tumblr post like "oh, my wife poisoned my coffee again :) better luck next time honey :)"
