#meanwhile Kuusuke always says “Kusuo” in place of “you”

Here's every time Kusuo actually refers to Kuusuke by name:
0.5: This one doesn't count as it has the アイツ furigana too, but it's worth mentioning as even this happens Very rarely.
1. Twice in chapter 208
2. Twice in this scene from Psi Battle
The end. (more information in the tags)
I just noticed that when Kusuo says how Warp is a robot made by Kuusuke, the kanji reading says アイツ [that guy] instead of くうすけ [Kuusuke].
#i looked through vol 10 and realized that every time kusuo says 兄(older brother) the kanji reading is コイツ (this guy)#which is Really interesting#it implies is that Kusuo is thinking “older brother” but saying “this guy”#(though in the anime he just says “older brother” here and “Kuusuke” in the previous 2 examples)#going back to the focus of this post I think this is a really cool contrast#because Kusuo makes an effort to avoid saying Kuusuke's name#meanwhile Kuusuke always says “Kusuo” in place of “you”#(sometimes he says younger brother too)#and he also does that to every family member#(he uses 君 (kimi) to refer to other people if anyone's wondering)#Kusuo usually does that his family (outside of Kuusuke) as well (calling them by dad/mom/grandpa/grandma) but way less consistently#saiki kuusuke#saiki kusuke#saiki kusuo#saiki k#tdlosk#the disastrous life of saiki k.#psi battle
