I was writing last night and I was really thinking about even though Nishiki is probably the most important personal antagonist that Kiryu has, his lack of a backstory is what gives us Kiryu’s perspective of him because we see what Kiryu sees and Kiwami’s flashbacks of 1995 do no justice to his character because they’re only the lead up to why he’s jaded but not what makes Nishiki himself.

And I (like other people) heavily criticize Kazama’s actions/decisions throughout the series but I can also undoubtedly see how he’s Kiryu and Nishiki’s father. I see Nishiki as spoiled. Not in the way of candy and riches but you can see exactly where Nishiki wasn’t denied when he should’ve been. I don’t see Kiryu as favored as so much as I see Kazama using him as a pawn. If Nishiki wasn’t evil and still as powerful Kazama would be using him the same way Kazama was using Sera.

#mine #nishikiyama akira #like I feel that kazama only replaced Kiryu with Nishiki not for Kiryu’s sake like we’re lead to believe in K1’s flashback #but because he needed that upper hand. shimano had majima and had already left Dojima’s wing years prior #to me kazama just wanted his foot in the door. someone had to replace his family while he stepped into dojima’s. daigo wasn’t old enough #Kiryu was in jail. he only had Nishiki. who wasn’t any emotional space to do so. if anyone knew Nishiki devotion to his siblings it was #Kazama. one half dead one missing one in jail. Just do this one thing for me boy and you’ll honor us all #idc Kazama used Haruka. plain and simple. he used Yumi and Sera to get close with Jingu.#we don’t know enough about Nishiki basically. but I guarantee that like it’s Kazama’s fault
