#nurarihyon no mago#gozumaru#mezumaru#should i look at the story crafting as a whole and write about the narrative purposes gozu and mezu serve? yes. will i? no#something something foil.#actually i had the words in my head until i typed that out and then i forgot them all#gozu is there on nejireme to trigger rikuos awakening mezu is probably just there to give the rest of the cast something to do#see the problem with this is the zone i care about is so narrow. i dont want to look at the big picture even if itsto see the shapes of my#little pieces better. the big picture is not my little guys.#in spy arc theyre used for like .. exposition and mostly showing how fucked up tamazuki is#you could say gozu loses to rikuo on nejireme because rikuo is in the thematic right for not disliking everyone#and wanting them to Fuck Off TM#actually i think. it was more a refutation of gozus attitude towards strength. (im going off of memory here ok) gozu implies/sees#that having strength is what gives people worth. or something similar. the main house losers arent strong;he thinks; so theyre not worthy#of bossing him around#'why did i lose to you; who arent even a full yokai' how are you stronger than me. how have my convictions in strength failed me. i think.#rikuo winning is about refuting this. the strong have power so they can protect the weak/ create a world in which the weak can thrive#is the general platform i think#something something edo yokai are the fireworks in the night#related; gyuki clan mentality seems to be a nice bridge between the 'edo vs kyoto' mentalities in human policy#(gyuki clan territory is the border between them/ furthest nura territory in that direction)#geographically theres a scale there and the gyuki clan literally middles it#time to copy paste this into my slideshow.
