oh yeah i took a curious peak at the yttd manga like. idk. a week ago. i only read the first couple chapters, but. it's... so different. & somehow MORE GRAPHIC???????? i skimmed to see how they handled mishima & somehow it's more traumatizing than the game. wtf.
this scan from volume 2 (game chapter 1-2) it seems that the JoeSara relationship parallel to SouShin is canon. Maybe it's a darker friendship. Shin parallel to Sara, Joe to Midori, well I can say Midori is a dark Joe.
Joe tells Shin from his point of view of his friendship with Sara what he thinks of her.
In the first volume Sara told Shin something about her friendship with Joe, but not in detail, because she doesn't know his past and is a closed person.
Joe describes Sara as a lonely person while he is a friendly person, he can never be alone.
There are two opposites that attract.
What interests me in these scans are Joe's words.
"Sara wasn't big on making friends"
"I, on the other hand, couldn't stand being alone
I filled every moment I could with people and conversation"
"But it was like Sara could see right through me when she looked me. Right away, she was able to notice the loneliness deep inside me. That's why I knew I wanted to talk to her more."
"When I finally got this smile out of her it felt like the first time anyone had ever understood me like that and I understood her too."
hmm they met in high school, Joe starts talking to her, since that day they have become best friends and Joe keeps a picture of Sara's smile. I have to say it's pretty obvious how this parallel to Midori.
we don't know all of Joe's past nor of Midori so I guess in 3-2 we will know everything from Midori's point of view including his past and everything about Joe.
Anyway I'm a little suspicious from his ID card.
Datamine
4EVERDEVOTED if we combine Sara's (Minna Asunaro) ID card
4EVERDEVOTED (Asunaro?)
we have an Asunaro agent, so is the famous traitor? It wouldn't be new. From the start of the game he was suspicious, then this scan.
how did he know her mother passed out?
And who was he really calling?
I don't mean to be negative but I suspect Joe organized the kidnapping.
