i think that otouto works so well as a trio is that theyre able to like. take on specific roles that osomatsu usually provides for the six, so otouto can function pretty well without him because theyre able to do that

like todomatsu, most of the time, can and will take the lead when the younger trio are seperated (im including fesmatsu bits those are canon and i love tjem), hes able to point them all in a direction and usually suuji will follow (unless they have a different idea on how sth should be handled in which case theyll be like Um. No<3 GDJF) because totty makes decisions and makes them quickly and hes generally p smart about em too, hes a conniving little trickster of a man and is good at getting his own way which does translate p well into leadership skills (a counterpoint could be if he doesnt wanna do something he wont but this is abt what they Can do not what thay Do okay alright BDNDV)

ichimatsu has a calming disposition and also generally takes that role in the group as a whole, but its v prevalent in otouto, the amount ichimatsu asks the others Are You Okay? and tells them It'll Be Alright Because X, Y and Z is very very sweet like he is actually extremely caring

and jyushi brings the lightheartedness and levity needed in the group, like he would never let any situation get too serious or sad like thats prevalent through yhe series he just doesnt like seeing people he cares about upset or sad and he can and will attempt to remedy that

all of these are traits that osomatsu exhibits when he bothers to put his big boy older brother boots on, osomatsu, obviously the leader they have and will continue to follow his lead for ever, hes extremely caring and calming when he isnt the one causing the scene what needs to be calmed and hes able to provide levity whenever the rest of em are like ouh :(

obviously theres a lot of other things in otoutos dynamic that make them work (ie. they like each other HDNDV) and having the same kind of traits as The Leader isnt necessarily what makes them work well but the fact that yhey have those spread among them is cool and fun and interesting and def is a contributing factor smile

ani on the other hand. mmmmmmm. lol

i think animatsu have. WAY less respect for one another than otouto do. osomatsu still considers himself in charge and the leader, but he has the two brothers who are Least willing to listen to him in his court in the context of the animatsu trio

karamatsu sees himself as equal to osomatsu in ranking he usually says We are the oldest, as the oldest two brothers yadda yadda, like in his mind he is on equal footing with osomatsu and maybe even slightly higher because he Does not respect his ass at all HDGNFVR and so its like ah yes Us the older brothers and our little brother choromatsu smile, and like he does respect choromatsu just not to yhe extent that choromatsu wants him to

choromatsu is a bigheaded Fool and considers himself far above both osomatsu and karamatsu DBDNV i doubt hed listen to jack shit the others say, theyre all three of them in their own ways Trying To Lead and thats just not gonna work HDJDB

thats why i think otouto r more harmonious than ani they spread out the "workload" where ani are clamouring so that they dont have to GHFJDG

anyway s4 come through more trio moments holds out my hands pleae
