Geneson Analysis from Regular Show

📄Warning: This is a very long read, made by 2 neurodivergent sisters (Citrus and Sparkz @luminesparkz )

1️⃣Prankless - S3 E36

Gene and Benson are clearly rivals. They also have a history of Prank Wars between both of their parks. But it seems Gene is the one who commonly antagonizes Benson. He attacks Benson's park as soon as their prank master (Muscle Man) leaves. He has quite a fun time teasing and picking on Benson and his workers while also vandalizing their entire park.

2️⃣The Christmas Special - S4 E11-12

In this episode, Gene goes "I though the Prank Wars were over, but here you come to pull some sort of lame Yuletide prank!" He claims that since Muscle Man's return and fighting back, the Prank Wars are over. And they are neutral.

However, Benson and his crew beg Gene to let them into the cave on his park in order to save Christmas. And they convince him to think of his own family, softening his outlook.

When Benson and his crew actually enter the cave, Gene smiles and shakes Benson's hand, surprising Benson. They seem to be on a little above neutral terms after these events.

3️⃣ Dodge This - S5 E17

Gene makes a small cameo here, unfortunately. But here we have Benson, taking dodge ball way too seriously and putting a lot of faith in the best player on his team, Mordecai. He hits Gene with a dodge ball, knocking him down on his back. They still seem to have a competition outside of pranking each other.

4️⃣Thomas Fights Back - S5 E37

This episode breaks their neutrality. Gene is at it again, pranking Benson by embarking in his annual "steal the park statue" pranking. Benson and his crew have to infiltrate Gene's park in order to steal it back. In their first attempt, they use Rigby's idea of dressing in cheap alien costumes, which fails immediately.

In this episode, Gene is shown to be friendly towards Thomas, who is disguised as an intern, perhaps showing that he treats his employees nicely. He also seems to trust his employees quickly if they listen well and follow orders, giving away deep secrets about the park quickly.

He is also very recognized, attending a Park Manager's Formal, which makes Benson pretty jealous that he wasn't invited as he gets little to no recognition. He is shown in this episode to let his guard down a lot. This might be from his high ego and underestimation of Benson and his crew. It's also kinda weird that as a married man, he is shown dancing with another woman.

5️⃣Park Manager's Lunch - S6 E14

I wish there was more lore behind why this episode happens, but Gene suddenly wants to invite Benson into the Park Manager's Lodge, a community of park managers that partake in different events. This is shocking especially given that the last thing Gene did was steal the statue of the founder of the park in the previously mentioned episode. This could be Gene's moment where he recognizes the potential of Benson and his crew. Anyway, Gene invites Benson to lunch at Chicken and Waffles, which Benson's crew sees as a set-up for Gene to prank Benson. Benson, however, is finally happy to see someone recognize his hard work, and doesn't think about pranks in this regard. In fact, Benson gets defensive when his coworkers try to tell Benson it COULD be a prank as Gene has only pranked Benson throughout his life. As Benson approaches Gene, he fails miserably at trying to impress him. It is not normal behavior for one man to impress another man by showing off his strong forearms from being a former drummer. He also holds his arm around Benson throughout the episode. You would have to feel very comfortable with someone to do that, at least in my opinion. Not even my closest friends nor myself would feel comfortable enough to do that.

It's important to note that Gene is a laugher. He laughs a LOT throughout all the episodes he appears in. He seems pretty fond of Benson's jokes as he is seen slapping Benson's back and laughing hard. Benson is far too focused on impressing Gene, that he keeps watching his reactions to whatever he says, not really regarding the other two. This may show that Benson has a high regard for how Gene thinks of him. He also gets extremely angry when his crew tries to "save" Benson inside the restaurant.

After their lunch, Gene seems to handle Benson roughly, almost seeming as if he is kidnapping him, however, this seems to be part of the lodge entrance "ritual". Benson's crew does everything in their power to "rescue" him. But Gene tries to stop him and take Benson back.

In the end, it was another test for Benson's employees and their respect for on another. Benson is more than happy to join Gene's Park Manager's Lodge.

6️⃣Men In Uniform - S6 E24

In this episode, Benson's park is in trouble. The park doesn't get anywhere near the amount of visitors East Pines gets. After getting completely wasted on wings, Benson and his crew end up in East Pines Park, in their gazebo. Benson thinks that the secret to Gene's success is in the uniforms, another bit of proof of Benson really admiring Gene and how well he does and wanting to be as recognized at him.

7️⃣ The Parkie Awards - S7 E2

Benson, still a bit jealous of Gene's constant success, witnesses Gene's awards at the Parky awards. Gene clearly has a high ego but not in a way where he means bad. He is oblivious to the fact that Benson isn't recognized, which is unfortunate but true. But at the end he tells Benson "I'll see you at the next lodge meeting" which means he still has a nice friendship with Benson. Gene doesn't know struggle as a park manager.

8️⃣Chili Cook Off - S7 E23

Benson, being part of the lodge now, enters a Chili Cook Off introduced by Gene, the leader of the lodge. Despite everyone saying he can't win against Gene, he still participates. When Benson wants to taste Gene's chili during one of the first rounds, he can't do it himself. He asks Rigby and Mordecai to go get him a bowl to sample. He is, however, surprisingly friendly to them. This, again, further establishes that he merely has an ego problem, not being a "bad person" intentionally.

When Benson does try his chili, he admits is amazing but detects the hint of the Jade Phantom Pepper, a pepper he knows is extremely expensive. Out of anger of Gene's possible cheating, he throws it to the floor, shattering the bowl and ruining the chili. Benson is so strung on proving that Gene is lying about his ingredients being under $50 that he not only sneaks into Gene's house through his window, but he is also oblivious to the obvious fact that Gene was behind the entire dome experiment and is acquainted with Mr. Maellard in the process.

Now, there is something interesting shown here that is most likely an animation error or just laziness, but Gene's family looks a bit different than what is shown The Christmas Special (S4 E11-12). Instead of being red, she is a blue-green color. Either this man got divorced and married someone new or the animators were too lazy to make sure she was accurate. His connection with his wife is and child is not at all described or shown in the show.

The best part of this episode is that, when Benson added hot wings to his chili and ended up winning against Gene, he congratulated Benson instead of fighting or some other method. He was genuinely happy for Benson and even pushed a chair under him when the crowd carried him. This further establishes the idea that Gene is a friend of Benson's and pushes aside competition to be happy for him.

9️⃣Welcome to Space - S8 E1

The last seen footage of Gene: he is sent to the Space Tree along with Benson's park and hundreds of others. We don't know anything about his life past this episode and in the future, shown at the end of the show.

Conclusion

Gene and Benson have an interesting relationship that we think goes from rivals to perhaps something more. This is further established with the personal lore created by us about Gene's family (Wife and child). That is all we have left to say on the subject. LOL. Geneson.

This is prone o being edited. Thank you if you stuck around this far lol.

Thoughts I had while watching/regarding bungou stray dogs

Before I begin I just want to say I don't want any hate for any thoughts and opinions here. We're allowed to disagree and have a different opinion regarding this show and these characters but what I don't want is a bunch of people being rude because we disagree on this show and these characters. Unlike the characters in this show I'm actually a real living human being with real human emotions. I'm not going to be a dick to you for your opinions, I just ask that you don't be a dick to me for mine. Also I'm lazy and I've already sent most of these thoughts to my friend who does not watch this show so I'll just be copy and posting those messages here as I wrote them to her. As I write this I'm on S3 E36, but I have been sending these messages to my friend since I started watching it yesterday and since I'm posting literally every thought I sent to my friend there will be things that are wrong whether I know it or not, so just a little forewarning for that. Also most of these thoughts will be going up to the first episode of S3 though I may later add to this with other opinions when I inevitably rewatch this and get to season 3 again.

And then he instantly ate the candy before she could try it but the thought was there. Also it was funny. Then again I also thought Dazai having Atsushi throw the phone just so Akutagawa would jump after it and immediately hanging up was funny. It was cruel, it was mean, i still laughed because I'm not so secretly a terrible person and this show brings out my worst qualities. What more can I say.

Wait I'm once again watching bungou stray dogs and I'm actually feeling so good right now. So there's a character called Ranpo and there's this traumatised 14 year old called Kyouka who basically had no childhood, and one of the first things Ranpo did is go out and buy her a shit ton of candy she's never tried before. Also he's just generally one of my favourite characters. He's 26 but he's childish, can barely do regular human things but he's really smart like think sherlock Holmes and he doesn't give a fuck but at the same time he's so sweet and just wants everyone to praise him but he can also be kinda snarky and sarcastic? Idk if those are the right terms. Ugh I love him

And then there's dazai who is basically a walking red flag and used to work for the mafia but he is so fun and interesting to watch. He's so manipulative, I actually couldn't tell you how much of his personality is real, how much is fake, and how much is a bit of both. He's also only 22 which I didn't realise until now. I stand by this but now I'm pretty sure nothing he says is a complete lie. Like he manipulates people with the truth more than anything. It's fascinating to watch. And terrifying

Also I there's this sweet friendly happy country boy who seems really Naive but (since this is a world where superpoweres/special abilities exist) he has super strength like can lift a car with one hand strong. He can beat up an entire gang with a smile. But he only has this super strength when he's hungry. That's another thing I like, some of the abilities are overpowered but others have limitations or only work in certain conditions. However then you have the main character who can turn into a weretiger and that for some reason gives him restoration abilities. Like he legit lost a leg in one of the first episodes then turned into a tiger and it was just back with no sign he'd ever lost it. Okay I'm gonna admit I still forget this guys name. Kenji? I will look it up so I can tag him. I'm sorry I don't dislike him I'm just terrible with names. Also I interrupt this past thought to bring you my current thought. I'm currently paused on cannabilism part three. I'm pretty sure Ranpo and Chuuya are still in Poe's book. Also I don't think I mentioned Poe that much in my messages to my friends but I love him. He simultaneously wants to be the best, be praised and get one over on Ranpo. At the same time he wants to be friends with Ranpo. He's adorable, he's lonely, there's something kind of sad about him. Honestly there's something kinda sad about most if not all of these characters but we'll get back to that later. Now on with my previously scheduled old thoughts

And then there's a woman in it who can heal people but only when they're basically dying so if she wants to heal a minor injury she has to almost but not quite kill her patient before she can heal them. I don't have much more to say here, Yosano seems cool and badass and all that but we don't really see much of her. I did really like the S1 episode we got with her but that's the only point she's really had a chance to stand out which is sad.

Also this isn't an old thought but I love how S3 showed that even though Ranpo is childish at times he can be mature when needed.

Could do without the incest they randomly hint at or just throw in in general but I understand its more for humour than anything else and it's rare enough that it can be ignored.

And then the head of the mafia has like a girl who's around 10 near him and idk if it's a translation issue or me overthinking it but it does give me a slight pedophilic vibe the way some things are said.

And yet somehow he seems to actually care about the people working for him. It's so interesting to watch a show where the characters treated as the morally grey imperfect humans they are. Like dazai left the mafia but he didn't magically become good and forget everything that let him survive in the mafia. He never claims to be a good person and he doesn't care. He doesn't care about being good or doing the right thing. The show doesn't treat him like he's always a good person or someone who always does a good thing. Sure, the main character sees him as good or at least not bad but that's because Dazai took him in and got him a job when he had nowhere to go because he's an orphan. I'm also not sure how many of the people he works with now know he's in the mafia. Like in the third episode or something it's said that no one knows what he did before. But it's at the end of that episode we the audience find out he used to be in the mafia, and three of the people he works with are there but they're all either unconscious or dying so it's unclear if any of them actually heard and idk if they actually heard and nothing seems to change after that and it's never mentioned by the detective agency whether they know or not. But the mafia isn't treat like they're wholly evil or bad either. Yes they're criminals, they're murderers they do bad things but they seem to be somewhat supportive of each other and care about each other somewhat, you know kinda like a very fucked up, toxic family that is abusive towards each other but is also like wtf only I can be mean to them, they are my fellow mafia members, no you may not hurt them, only we can kill and abuse our family members dammit kinda way. The kind of thing that's horrifying in real life but can make for some interesting scenes. Also Kyouka and the Red haired woman, I'm sorry I completely forgot her name- the way this woman cares about Kyouka as if she's her own daughter and wants her to be happy.

Also you gotta love a show that isn't afraid to kill off some kids because yes these are dangerous criminals and they're going up against other dangerous killers. You think they're gonna draw a line at killing kids to get what they want? Realism in my anime I love it.

Like I realise that sounds vaguely demented but I'm so sick of black vs white, good vs evil. Having two criminal organisations go up against each other? Yes. Having two criminal organisations and a detective agency go up against each other? Yes. Having the morals be grey to the point where your main character, the character with the best morals, still probably wouldn't exactly be anyone's image of good? Who thinks they can't do something not because of morals but because their self esteem is basically 0, maybe even a minus number? Yes. Of The main groups that have been given names there's not one person among them that I belive couldn't kill someone. Even the ones that don't kill people or don't want to could kill people. And I love that. All the villains, all the bad guys, all the characters feel like they could be real people, exaggerated and dramatic, sure, but at their core all the characters feel real, and most of the relationship dynamics you can kind of understand or feel rooted in real life. When you look at your main characters you're not necessarily encouraged to think they can do no wrong. Ugh god I love this anime

Also I'm now pretty sure that Ranpo at least knows that Dazai was in the mafia. Not only does he have deductive abilities but there's a chance he was working for the agency when Dazai joined. The president of the agency knows and I feel like Ranpo knows either because he was told or he figured out. If he knows he didn't tell anyone. I have no proof of this so far, it just makes sense. If he can put on glasses, look at a complete stranger and know that if they go where they're going they'll die, and by looking at a body knows how and when someone died and who killed them and why, then surely he could figure out dazai was in the mafia or something similar? Idk that just makes more sense to me than him not knowing and, while he is pretty childish, he's also 26. He probably knows that telling the other agency members that dazai is a mafia member may not be the best idea. If he can tell Dazais a mafia member he can also probably guess the others reaction and some of them are new to the agency. Also its a detective agency so it's technically on the other side of the law. And the less people that know, the less chance there is of the wrong people finding out, you know.

They literally introduced these kids for the sole purpose of killing them off to send a message and I appreciate it. Honestly these are episodes to establish a characters past and background why are they so good and detailed.

They literally killed a bunch of kids to encourage someone to kill them. This is madness I love it.

Honestly it's really interesting how the leader of the rival group, who I refuse to call a villain was searching for death and to escape, meanwhile dazai is searching for a will to live, a reason to live. Oh yeah this anime is great but its also depressing and there is a pretty big theme of suicide and murder and death running through it so there is that.

He doesn't even leave the mafia because he wants to become a better person, he does it because his only friend told him to while dying in his arms. Or rather he's indifferent to morality and chooses the side of "good" or at least twilight because he was asked to.

OK I think they know dazai was mafia by season 2. That's what I'm gonna go with. It makes more sense, except then Kunikida didn't know but that could've just been Dazai trying to annoy him so idk. If someone knows who exactly knows dazai was in the mafia please let me know.

The fact that this rich guys power is literally the more money I spend the more power I have is a really interesting reflection of life honestly.

I mean dazai kind of implied that he hopes he can become a good person but I literally think that's just because his friend asked him to.

Also the fucked up mentorship that is Dazai and Akutagawa is so toxic and so abusive and yet to some extent I'm here rooting for Akutagawa hoping he gets the acknowledgement he wants. Look, listen, I know this wouldn't make it pess abusive, abusers do praise their victims sometimes to keep them around but honestly I want him to achieve his goals whatever they may be.

Plus I feel like it shows Dazais character as well. He is manipulative, ge is toxic, he is abusive, he is a killer, he is a criminal. He is a walking red flag and how he interacts with Akutagawa shows that, and yet how he treats Atsushi, the main character and his new apprentice I believe he called him is different. He praises him more, he doesn't hit him as much, the one time he did it was to snap him out of it when he was freaking out. Idk how to describe Dazais character in a positive way abd yet he's so entertaining to watch that I can't help but like him and honestly it feels like the audience is being manipulated just as much as everyone else around Dazai only its worse because we've actively seen more of the things he's done that have been less than good and yet we just kinda shrug and go well that's dazai for you but that's not normal. If this was a real person I'd be very concerned but as its a fictional main character I've decided to just not think about it too deeply. I like his character, I think he's interesting.

Also idk how this falls or anything but this guy was basically called, not even weak just not strong enough yet, by Dazai, literally internalised that so hard that even 4 years later, when he's a lot stronger than he was before, he still thinks he's weak simply because Dazai has never said he's strong.

It's kinda like how I feel watching You. Like you know what he's doing is wrong and he's not a good guy but because you're following him and know his point of view you don't completely hate him. This is more regarding how he treats Akutagawa than un general.

And the thing is this show is actually so sad. Like when you listen to the characters talk and the main theme being looking for a will to live, looking for a life purpose, its honestly quite a depressing show, it just has fight scenes and some silly characters and lighter hearted moments that make you forget for a moment that it's a sad, depressing show.

Honestly this guy with the money is literally spending all his money to try and make his family happy but I cannot figure out how destroying part of Japan makes his family happy. Maybe it's something to do with this book he's looking for.

Yeah also I love how impersonal group 3 seems. Like there's the armed detective agency, the mafia and the guild, and the guild are doing all these things but at the end of the day it is just a job for them. They don't actually care about each other or their boss that much, some of them care. it's just a way to make money. I kinda like that.

Also we have Cthulu or some other monster pretending to be human so thats cool.

Also Ranpo made a friend, like someone who isn't in the agency and they can be geniuses together and there's an element of rivalry but they still respect each other and their abilities. I'm so happy for both of them. I did talk about Poe look at that.

They seriously had this grown ass man say he prefers the women in his life to be under 12 so I wasn't overthinking the pedophilia they were putting in. It's good to have this clarification though, and as my friend pointed out still doesn't need to be there but there it is and I can't change it so let's just go with it.

Also Dazai just kinda knows everything and everyone and he's slowly puppet mastering everything. Like he has people in the mafia who still seen loyal to him and do what he tells him. He kind of has a friend in the government. He's in the armed detective agency. And there's 2 years where he was hidden that I still know nothing about so basically all I'm saying is I'm pretty sure Dazai is secretly in charge of all of Japan and everyone else has just failed to realise this yet. Still stand by this and if its not true yet it will be.

OK we had Cthulu and now we have what appear to be demons and apparently the mangas have vampires so this should be interesting.

I mean it makes sense. If they can have supernatural powers why not have supernatural beings as well.

And now one of the characters is a vessel for a god and has been this entire time.

Honestly it's so funny to me to go on tumblr and see people be like oh dazais toxic, he treats Akutagawa badly. Like yeah obviously he's a mafia agent. He's an executive. He was 15 when he joined and I doubt he's much older when Akutagawa joins. Akutagawa is his subordinate. It's like obviously mafia members don't treat their subordinates well. They're the mafia. "Oh Dazai manipulated and strong armed Chuuya and Akutagawa into joining the mafia." What as opposed to the honourable recruitment methods usually used by mafia members? Like they think that's gonna make me find the mentor mentee relationship any less interesting? They also seem to talk like finding this type of dynamic in a fictional show with fictional characters means you somehow support or are fine with abusive dynamics in shows which is literally not how this works? Like you can find something entertaining in fiction that you hate in real life. Like personally I find mind control powers really interesting but in real life they'd be horrifying and I'd hate if they were real. I honestly don't get how seriously some people take enjoying a fictional dynamic between fictional people. And by the way before anyone tries to twist this to say oh so you think it's OK for some people to get abused just because they're in the mafia? No I don't think that, abuse is abuse and abuse is always wrong in real life but that's also how things are in the mafia and among criminals and people in general. That doesn't make it right or good. It's just how things are, just reality, an unfortunate reality but a reality all the same. Sorry if this seems really antagonistic and stuff. It just annoys me when people act like enjoying a fictional dynamic in any way reflects your real life dynamics. Though this may also be because I accidentally tripped and fell into shipping dazai and akutagawa. Listen, I didn't want to ship them, I didn't expect to ship them, and yet ship them I do and I can't change that. As I said in real life this dynamic is horrible and no one who claims to love you should treat you like Dazai treats Akutagawa. I didn't get a choice in this one. I didn't even need fanfiction to make it happen. My brain really looked at all the characters in this show, all the possible ships and went that one and pointed at one of the most toxic ships in this show. I'm sorry I'm disappointed in me too but it could be worse, so I'm just gonna ignore any negativity associated with that particular opinion.

Also if the story I was supposed to take from the dazai and chuuya 15 years old episodes was supposed to be that dazai was a terrible person and a dick and a villain, I'm sorry to say that was not the message I got. I'll be honest I didn't really take a message from the whole Chuuyas former group and dazai conflict, I was too busy thinking of that undertake song you sometimes hear on tiktok you know the line "you're only still alive because I made a promise". And honestly those kids sucked anyway, family isn't something you hold over someone's head as you owe us situation. Dazai was mostly honest about his actions? Like I feel like he never directly lied. Of course there are plenty of ways to avoid completely lying while also not telling the full truth. Is it really Dazais fault everyone was so easy for him to predict? Now did he have to call the boss or reveal he was from the mafia? No. Obviously not but at the same time why should he hide it? He has no reason to. And let's face it whether those kids showed up then or not ,Chuuya was always going to end up working with Dazai to some extent, he already had and also, he still wanted answers for himself. The teens were the ones that decided that was a betrayal and decided to try and kill Chuuya and join up with the mafia's other rivals, which the mafia obviously wouldn't like. Was it manipulated and puppeteered? To some extent, dazai certainly did things on purpose that he didn't have to do, predicting it would cause a specific reaction. But predictions aren't always right. Dazais plan working still relied an awful lot on other people's reactions and choices. And no I feel no emotion for the fact they're 15, so were Dazai and Chuuya, they were still perfectly willing to kill Chuuya for a perceived betrayal. And in response to that Chuuya agrees to Dazais terms to save them. Thus why my brain just went "you're only still alive because I made a promise". Anyway, yeah thise are my thoughts on that i won't comment on Akutagawa's joining the mafia yet because I haven't seen that flashback yet, and Dazai did still mistreat them. I did get the message that he's a master manipulator and can be dangerous but this had already been established.
