PROPHETIC VISIONS OF HIS BIGGEST L LORD IM DEAD. The universe really said fuck you kisaki. Ohh but you're right, I didn't see the question that way. I wonder how kisaki's feelings developed at that moment. Rivalry with takemichi for hina + admiration, and when he actually gets with Hina? The jealousy must have been spiky.

Yeah fr! I know it's a shonen but the logistics of the time traveling are hilarious. God yes I hate how the thing with Emma is never addressed but that's fan service for you. I'm adding this exchange to my belief system.

Oh yeahh Izana must be Kisaki's new pet project and I bet he's not having a good time lolz.

Tormented by the thoughts of Kisaki's possible upbringing. Like you can't tell me a kid who dedicated his entire life to a girl who was kind to him for five seconds was not somewhat neglected. Bullying at school? Absent parents? Like they weren't even at the same school, they went to the same cram school!

From his bedroom, you can tell his family is pretty rich (tons of books and like three pc monitors at thirteen plus gaming console and a TV? Okay dude) so the parents spending all of their time at work is plausible.

Also him at like 11 being all superior thinking he's the smartest guy around= putting all of his value in his intellect -> parents that probably ask for the best results and nothing else?

And the fact that he's so alienated from the other kids even at cram school. There's gotta be some flavour of bullying in there, especially with how common it is in Japan plus with the timeline (the 80s and 90s being the worst in terms of bullying -I have a source for that lmaooo this my researcher bias).

Because I wonder what turned tiny shy Kisaki into a criminal in *checks notes* two years.

the revelation kinda felt weird because kisaki never admitted his feelings himself, he was forced to admit them bc takemichi started getting prophetic visions of his biggest L (proposing to hina out of the blue and she just replies "sorry" lmao oof) and then questioned him about future hina's murder. which makes me think that maybe final timeline takemichi's "do you love hina?" might be his way to have them face their feelings on equal footing since after that takemichi just says "i love her too" and they both smile (which is definitely more wholesome and less likely to result in kisaki being on the defensive lmao)

feel like wakui didn't explore the comedic potential of time traveller takemichi and regular takemichi getting caught up in each other's problems enough tbh. probably would've messed with the story's serious moments but this is why mangas have bonus pages at the end (still sad that there aren't any in the main series (although wakui posted a lot of sketches on twt while the series was ongoing apparently))

time traveller takemichi: (leaves)

regular takemichi, waking up in jail: wait what

time traveller takemichi: that's payback for almost cheating on hina with emma

regular takemichi: that wasn't even meeeee (echoing from a distance)

i totally agree about kisaki losing it each time after he loses hina and takemichi, and yeah he definitely lost by being miserable throughout his life and creating a more miserable world (i also love pain)

i forgot about izana! oh man he must've been something in the og timeline, too. does that mean that the black dragons are the biggest gang of tokyo in this timeline? kinda cool to think about
