gakuto's thought on other 15 students? (Besides his brother)

SORRY FOR THE WAIT but i went into p decent detail, under the cut we go

kaede akamatsu: though he likes her how take charge and fiery she can be, he also doesn’t like how she’s stubborn and how she’d lie to make others feel better. she’s probably tried to help him with his issues with gonta (out of concern and a genuine want for them to get along) and he really doesn’t like that, it’s very personal business so he doesn’t want anyone telling him what to do about it

shuuichi saihara: not into his timid personality and his lack of self confidence but he’s got a feeling that there might be more to it so he holds back from being annoyed with him completely. gonta seems to trust him, but then again gonta trusts everyone… he’s a bit mopey but relatively pleasant… gakuto won’t start a conversation with him tho thats for sure

tenko chabashira: he puts a shutdown on the degenerate thing really quickly. he doesn’t like how loud she is and how she’s presumptuous about men (he loathes it when people think they know him, especially when they think they know enough to judge him) but he’s also jealous of how easily she can express her feelings.

himiko yumeno: originally he got put off by her laziness and childish tendencies but he finds out he has more in common with her than initially thought. doesn’t express it much, but feels a lot of really strong emotion on the inside, can’t communicate it well.. funny enough i don’t think he can say how he can relate to her so easily either. awkwardly supports her from waaay in the sidelines when she’s improving herself, gakuto probably needs to follow her example

korekiyo shinguuji: hates their guts. they’re a know-it-all, lecture heavy, creepy… gakuto will immediately shove them aside if they get within three feet of gonta. he also doesn’t appreciate their snark, it sounds much more irritating from them. no matter if they get polite or more casual, he can’t stand them. gakuto’s personality clashes with kork’s pretty bad

miu iruma: at first he really didn’t like her (props to her for having the balls to get in his face for a few insults tho) but after realizing that she doesn’t mean half the things she says, he started warming up. they’re both pretty blunt too, he loves it when she goes off on people like togami, and he’s one of the only people that thinks her jabs are funny

kokichi ouma: NO GOOD ROTTEN BAD CLOWN RAT. he knows how he’s a wildcard, he knows he’s crafty and more level headed than he lets on, so he avoids him as much as possible and makes gonta avoid him too. gakuto has attempted to assault ouma on several occasions. he’d have a semblance of respect for him if he wasn’t so irritating.

ryouma hoshi: actually gets along pretty well with him. hoshi’s gentle but firm with his advice so gakuto doesn’t go on the defensive and gakuto’s very clear that he doesn’t care about hoshi’s criminal record. no harsh judgement on each other for their anti-social habits. it’s actually kind of pleasant to hang around him, he’s sweeter and funnier than most people think

kiibo: doesn’t believe he’s actually a robot for like two weeks. but even after learning that, gakuto’s still confused by him, like genuinely perplexed, so he spends a lot of time trying to figure him out. on the outside, it looks like gakuto’s trying to kill him with his stare so he intimidates keebs a lot

angie yonaga: he’s not thrilled with how manipulative she is and the way she’s always smiling creeps him out. does she ever get upset…? he tries to avoid her too, but unlike with ouma, where he gets irritated, he’s genuinely uncomfortable around her. once she tried out her “atua looks like-”  schtick with him and she said “he looks like a happy younger brother,” he went pale and immediately isolated himself

tsumugi shirogane: she makes an awful lot of references he doesn’t understand… a couple times she tried convincing him to dye his hair black, even temporarily… weird. other than that, she’s pretty nice and not too judgemental of him when he gets snappy, so he doesn’t think too badly of her. won’t go out of the way to hang with her tho.

rantarou amami: he’s the big bro archetype so he feels a little bit of a one sided rivalry with him and some empathy, with both of them having lost a younger sibling and blaming themselves over it. but at the same time he’s immensely pissed with him for losing 11 more little sisters after losing the first one. what do you mean all of them went missing how do you lose track of them that consistently what the fuck is wrong with you

kaito momota: tbh kaito reminds gakuto of what he was like when he was younger, before gonta disappeared, loud mouthed, hot headed, fiercely protective and maybe a little too macho, so he feels a little melancholy looking at him but at the same time he’s like “you remind me of my 6 year old self and i don’t know what that says about you” other than that kaito’s a well meaning n stubborn idiot so it just depends on the situation, if gakuto doesn’t like him

maki harukawa: oh he thought he related to himiko, he REALLY relates to maki. not sure how to start conversations with her, though they’re both not so good at making friends…  but he’s gonna try. when he lashes out and maki happens to be part of the general group he’s talking to he feels awful. he’s not talking about you, please don’t hate him. he’s too prideful to say that in the moment, but he hopes she knows.

kirumi toujou: oh hey mom respects how dedicated she is to her job, he knows it pretty well since he grew up around butlers and maids. kinda wishes she did things for herself every now and again, even the workers back home had that kind of self expression, feels like she’s really suppressing her interests. he will very rarely will make a mom joke but it comes off very serious if you aren’t looking at him. he’s got the tiniest smile on his face.

OwO if they're in a killing game, what's gakuto's talent?

he could technically be a shsl heir bc his family’s similar to, but nowhere near as affluent as the togamis, but where’s the fun in that? nah i think he’d be the shsl street fighter (not the video game but same concept, y’feel me)

he’s got a lot of restless energy, difficulty expressing his emotions, and is easily bored/angered/frustrated, so he goes and picks fights with strangers, whether it be someone from his school or someone he decides he doesn’t like on the street. a brawl waiting to happen.

brass knuckles n cat ear rings are his weapons of choice, nothin like a good ol punch out to get the blood flowing. plus, the rings are easier to carry around and don’t look as obvious. 

even if he is caught by the authorities he’s from a rich and important family, so he’ll get bailed out no problem, but he hasn’t even had that problem yet. always wins his fights. and so he attracts delinquents around him despite not talking to any of them. they think he’ll vouch for them if they get in trouble bc like i said. rich n important. but he won’t. he didn’t ask them to follow him around. thats your problem

he comes home at strange hours sometimes with misc. injuries. the head butler’s learned to not ask questions, but still checks on him when he’s asleep to make sure he’s not seriously hurt.

i wonder what gakuto's outfit during the killing game... (assuming he's shsl yakuza heir? i guess)

mm im not sure if i would go for the heir angle, i do think he comes from a rich n powerful family, but not necessarily crime lord powerful. like. shady business powerful, maybe. i like the idea that his random fighting tendencies got him the shsl street fighter title. 

if you know about yakuza/ryu ga gotoku’s fight system, i imagine what he does is somethin like that (if you don’t here’s a short clip); getting pissed or irritated enough to fight random people on the street when he wants, to the point where he becomes famous for starting and ending fights before any authorities get there. his family’s standing doesn’t even have to come in because he’s that good at what he does 

(despite that, the local delinquents still think that’s related, and that it might help them to be buds with gakuto. gakuto is not buds with them. he will not defend them or save them. y’all are on your own. you are not affiliated with him.)

but yeah im also working on his outfit/uniform bc i love designing outfits n stuff like that for characters, it seems like a lot of fun, plus i don’t think it’d be too full of accessories anyways, he’s not a flashy guy

What happens if the twins ever got trapped in a killing game? (I'm sorry my imagination is so weird)

OOO no worries this is a good one!! under a cut bc it’s a tad long

gakuto is so uncooperative and aggressive that he’s pegged as the killer more often than anyone else in the group. doesn’t trust anyone, has more than a few demoralizing words for some of them, and only steps in when gonta gets upset/taken advantage of (no forced bug meet n greets while he’s around) but everyone assumes its bc it annoys him

gonta’s working really hard to protect everyone but also to make up for not being there for gakuto for 10 years, so that makes people a bit wary. he wants to help but he’s related to the walking death threat? which one would he value when it comes down to it? hopefully they wouldn’t find out

of course gakuto’s actually not going to kill anyone… unless gonta’s life was being threatened, bc consequences be damned he lost him once he’s not going to lose him again. gonta however, being gonta, would do his best to protect his brother but would rather take the fall than hurt someone

if gonta was killed, gakuto would actually start contributing to trials and investigations to do right by him (and as vengeance, he’s gotta live to the end now so he can find that mastermind and kill them himself. or at least hit very hard) and you can bet he’ll be righteously angry when confronting suspects

but if gakuto died, gonta would feel guilty for not being able to save him (and whoever else is involved in the death) and with the added failure of not being able to apologize and make up for his 10 year absence… he would definitely get depressed, ishimaru levels or even worse, if that’s possible. he could recover from it but it’ll be hard for himfor a while

naturally tho, the further in the game, the more gakuto starts opening up/gonta learns to not be so forceful with his concerns n kindness. so thats nice…
