kaiser and dice are kinda two sides of the same coin. of two sides of a one-sided die. which is a coin. to me
#both haunted by the absence of their mothers. both have fathers who perpetuated patriarchal violence in their own ways#but while kaiser tries to honour his mother in whatever way he can#dice distances himself from his mother's name as much as possible#and while kaiser treasures the name 'michael' given to him by his mother he clings to what seems to be his father's surname#dice on the other hand is not apparently linked with the tohoten or the asuka family#but both of his parents are present in his given name#which is a unique and complicated name that dice has transformed to better suit his chosen life#meanwhile kaiser doesn't usually go by his common given name#kaiser came from poverty and climbed his way into wealth and prestige that's more fitting for his surname#and dice threw away the prestige of his family names to live a risky life#but he sabatoges himself whenever he actually wins it big because he can't stand stability. not when he hasn't earned it. and he never will#they're also both painfully trans coded in their own ways#OOH also their relationship with religion#i've spoken a lot about kaiser's jesus parallels but the religious allusions with dice are mostly related to shintoism i believe#which is interesting because usually the religious allusions in hypmic are related to buddhism and sometimes christianity#but yeah dice's belief in lady fortune/the god in the dice is def way more related to shintoism i think#but gentaro has called dice messiah before so there is still that link to abrahamic religions yk#idk i'm just saying stuff o.o#valiant posting#this has been in my drafts for a few days i give up on proofreading this you get the idea
