Something kinda funny personally to me like… watching people react to Wind Breaker because like. Sometimes I just like to see what people have to say when they do that. Is like. I have noticed a casual habit of that audience to use the given name of the characters, even if it isn’t the name that the character is usually referred to by other characters for the most part. Sugishita and Kaji getting referred to as Kyotaro and Ren real casual like throws me the hell off, I dunno who the fuck folks are talking about for a hot second.

“Who the fuck is Kyotaro? Why are you calling him that? No one calls him that, he didn’t introduce himself as that. Do you got permission for that bro?”

I don’t know why it’s like. The weirdest thing I can ever fixate on. But at the same time it’s like… a thing that in real life would matter but it’s not real life so it doesn’t but like.

Kaji was introduced formally once and like, everyone’s calling him Kaji, the rolling Rs on the Ren was a good gag but like why are we not continuing the pattern and calling him Kaji? It’s not like we picked up Ren from everyone else. Only permitted if you roll the R every time for the gag. That’s a joke. Obviously.

#seph reads wind breaker #like I get that Japanese given names can be more familiar and therefore easier to remember than surnames sometimes #like Jo Togame is almost self explanatory why his given name was easier to remember even if Togame was pretty straight forward imo #and Kyotaro has been in many anima and manga and I haven’t seen Sugishita as often as a name #but I genuinely forget who the fuck they are talking about every time #in my head he is fully 100% Sugishita and then sometimes I remember he’s Kyotaro #so when people are like ‘lmao Kyotaro hates it’ I’m like ‘whomst the fuck??’#this is totally a me problem but whatever. I still feel like I’m like… hitting a communication barrier #I do think Sugishita would throw a chair at someone who casually referred to Umemiya as Hajime without knowing him though #put some respect on his boss’ name
