" the power keeps you feeling high, but how low
do you sink into your bed at night
anchored down with guilt?
do you toss and turn from all the bridges you've burned?
or are you proud of all the hatred you've earned?
a conscience buried deep beneath
a heart stuck in a skeleton of greed
and eyes that can’t see that happiness is so far out of reach "

RIP in the Gossip Sea
[by Cosmo-P]
Everyone gets a little carried away, y’know
When they’re criticizing each other each day for everything
Acting as if this world is just a brief interval
Just a place to relieve their boredom until it’s time to go
-
I fell into despair cause there was nothing to do
My eyes were becoming cold and glassy like those of a fish
As I lurked, I simply stared into empty space
As I stared, I naturally shut down my thinking brain
-
Ahh, I’ve come to not care about anything now
But there’s something new that I have finally found out; it’s the most interesting of content, yes
H-U-M-A-N, HUMANS, of course!
-
Make no bones about it, this “gossip” has to be
Greater than any cheap trashy novel to read
They all forget that what you sow is what you reap
And that what goes around will come around eventually
-
Bashing people, though not to make them go away
Cause we all go “Rip” if they should vanish anyway
This tireless crusade of “justice” is fun, is enough
To kill people virtually
-
Acting like they’re sheep, people tend to always, believe
In what the vocal minority speaks
This is a "holy war” between the either extremes
And now those stuck in the middle can do nothing by weep
-
“Did you hear ‘bout the awful things that this person’s done?”
“See how good a person I am, advertising for this cause”
Even those SJWs aren’t warrior enough
For this great human drama touting a god-awful plot
-
Please, I just want to live out my life in peace
This all is harmless and isn’t about me,
I’ll keep reading this content
H-U-M-A-N, HUMANS, of course!
-
Make no bones about it, this “gossip” has to be
More addictive than any music, you’ll see
So go on bashing people and hold nothing back
Come on, and join the fun of all the flaming and attacks
-
Making a fuss over some new idiot today
But after we’re bored of him we’ll just throw him away
Oh those are the cheap kind of laughs that we seek
To appease our excitement-craving needs
-
We’re all laughing too much
We make way too much fuss
We’re all laughing too much
We make way too much fuss
-
R.I.P in the Gossip Sea
You’ll sink to the bottom if you don’t know how to swim
All the fools who would use to argue with me
All ended up drowning in the sea as well

(That’s so sad...!)
(Now I feel bad!!)
(But not really)

Discussing Negai no Astro - Chapter 4
Religion - Buddhism/Asura
Both Kuran and Kou have half of Asura tattooed on their forearms. The Sanmenroppi security branch’s logo and Ikebukuro headquarters are also a resemblance of the demigod.
I did some research, and came across this line of text I find very interesting, regarding Kou, and the inferiority he feels when compared to others.
In the earliest Vedic literature, all supernatural beings are called Devas and Asuras. Each Asura and Deva emerges from the same father, share the same residence, eat together the same food and drinks, and have innate potential, knowledge and special powers in Hindu mythology; the only thing that distinguishes "Asura who become Deva" from "Asura who remain Asura" is intent, action and choices they make in their mythic lives.
"Asuras who remain Asura" share the character of powerful beings obsessed with their craving for wealth, ego, anger, unprincipled nature, force, and violence. Further, in Hindu mythology, when they lose, miss, or don't get what they want (because they were distracted by their cravings) the "Asuras who remain Asuras" question, challenge, and attack the "Asuras who became Devas" to loot a portion of what the Devas have and the Asuras do not.
In Buddhist mythology, the Asuras are said to experience a much more pleasurable life than humans, but they are plagued by envy for the Devas, whom they can see just as animals perceive humans.
Take that text of information as you will. I hope you can understand my point without me having to explain further than this lol.
Does Kuran have a Astro?
Personally, I’m thinking he either does not have an Astro, or he doesn’t want to admit he has one.
Astros are given to people who held onto something precious, and made a wish. Kuran doesn’t really seem like the type of person who makes wishes, or gives into sentimental notions like that.
If he does have an Astro, he’s probably keeping it a secret so he doesn’t have to use it on Kou. When Kou challenged Kuran to fight for branch leader, had he known Kuran also had an Astro, he would surely make him use it so he could win in a ‘fair fight’.
I definitely think Kuran let Kou win for multiple reasons. 1, he doesn’t want to seriously hurt his younger brother, he’s too kind for that. 2, as an older brother, he’s kind of just letting Kou do and have whatever he wants for the time being. More below lol.
Relationship between Kou/Kuran
As a big brother, I think Kuran feels it’s his role to support his younger brothers, not fight with them.
He doesn’t think it’s right to ‘put them in their place’ or anything like that. Instead, he thinks it’s better if he supports them, forgives their misdeeds, and protects them if they get in over their heads. Even when Kou says dehumanizing things, like calling Kuran “my little security robot.”/ treating him like a winnable object; Kuran doesn’t take it personally, since Kou finally has confidence in himself …
I think Kuran might spoil Kou because he knows how insecure Kou is in being the youngest sibling, with nothing to his name.
Kuran understands that Kou is becoming power hungry, but he doesn’t see a harm in it as long as he is still around to pick up after the messes.
The Lighter that Kou made his wish with. This can be speculated as headcanon now, but I think Kuran gave Kou this lighter, encouraging him not to give up on becoming stronger, even if he feels weak now. It just seems like a good older brother thing that Kuran would say to ease his little brother’s insecurities.
And just as he said, Kou did become stronger. So to encourage Kou into realizing he isn’t the same weakling he was before, Kuran purposefully lost to him. Beating Kou would only crush his confidence and put Kou right back to square one:( as a supportive older brother, Kuran simply can’t do that.
That was pretty much the bulk of what I wanted to say about the most recent chapter; if anyone would like to add anything, go ahead! ^.^
