#protecting my boy Junpei from such shitty people honesly

[ran-orimoto]

Is there a moment from Frontier that makes you very angry? I know the opinions about Zoe losing because I follow your tw, so besides those

When people here say they follow me on TW I grow a bit 💀, because I think about the fact you know about my darkest side (bwahahahha), so you don’t get fooled by the pretty anonymous facade I have got on here, which is lame, I know. I should show a bit of personality, and isn’t this the best day to do it, right when an anon asks me about complaining about stuff from Frontier?

The episode I will briefly talk about is the 24th, Junpei VS the Volcanomon one, and ,more precisely, about its beginning that makes my hair stand like a cat’s fur *winking at the Junzumi cats anon still waiting in the inbox*. I have got lots of episodes from Frontier I could list because they contain moments that make me turn the tablet off and keep me from continuing watching the series, but this one is on my ✨ special top✨.

Now, that episode is very cruel per itself, since it forces Junpei to open his eyes about his miserable social condition while making him fight against his own shadow at the end. Its goal is to make Junpei realize he has got friends he can count on now, friends who deeply care about him, friends who really love him, friends he shouldn’t have doubts about✨✨✨. Well, do you want to know what I think about this?

I won’t sugarcoat anything while talking about Frontier, especially when it comes to the treatment given to the two third wheels, so hear:

I refuse to consider the Frontier kids as Junpei’s friends. That’s it.

Everyone elevates the great group the Frontier kids are. Honestly? In my head, it has never been a team, especially if I consider the whole matter under Junpei’s perception. They…Just treat him so badly???

He’s a spoiled kid, it’s true. At the beginning he doesn’t really know how to socialize in a healthy way wanting the world to rotate around him (typical only child), but even in that arc nobody ever understood how useless he was feeling, in truth. Indeed, Takuya could only think about bossing him around and demanding him to join his reckless revolution, without stopping to think, “Oh right, Junpei doesn’t have an evolution. How is he supposed to join this plan?” Nooo, absolutely. Junpei was the coward of the situation and the strange person there. I laugh at thinking about some writer stating they wanted the googleboy to be COMPASSIONATE. The circus.

Then we arrive at the disgusting scene from the Toucanmon episode, where everyone accuses him of a fucking sexual assault (because that’s what it is). And what’s the worst aspect about the COMICAL scene? That Junpei had always been there with everyone else but nobody had just noticed he was along with them except Tomoki who’s a demon tbh, because he waits for him to get humilated before finally reminding everyone Junpei had always been in the sea along with them. That scene is thraumatizing, okay? Thraumatizing for a kid who’s only 12 and doesn’t even know how to explain he’s not guilty TO THOSE HE IS SUPPOSED TO CONSIDER AS HIS FRIENDS.

And now we finally reach that initial scene of the 24th episode, where Junpei, who, -just remember because sometimes it doesn’t hurt-, had risked his life being melted by some acid substance a while before, decides to guide the group taking on the leader role. He does it in his own funny and loud fashion because he’s the goofy and hilarious boy of the series, after all, the one who gives colour along with Izumi’s cheerful attitude. The others follow him but start commenting about him in a pretty rude way, eventually mocking him.

T: “Geez. Since when Junpei is the leader???”🫤 (Actually, Takuya you’re a great leader since ,for your own fault, Kouji was going to be killed 💕)

I: “He’s just trying acting cool🤪”

* Useless dialogue about the right personality of a leader. Machiavelli entered the chat*

To: Ahahah but Junpei is so spoiled. He eats so many chocolates🤓”

Skipping the part in which I would gladly throw them off the cliff in mass, Tomoki the bully hero for first, I remember I’ve read this scene was supposed to make the audience understand now the team is closer. This allows them to mock someone of the group as much as they want because they feel ✨comfortable✨ about it.

Well, to start, I don’t think it’s that okay to mock someone behind their back. Junpei was some centimetres ahead, so the right way a group should joke about a person is to do it ALONG with them, ADDRESSING to them. What the others do at that moment is just an immature and veiled bully act, because, ehm…Did Junpei feel comfortable?

Did he? If he stopped doing what he was doing, and he was wearing such a happy face a second after that had happened, surely he was feeling comfortable. Why are you asking me about this? After all, he’s surrounded by such lovely friends.

And at the end he is feeling guily for having doubted about them???? Honestly????? Why would you, Junpei? You will just have to cope with some fatphobia soon, but that’s what true friends do, right? They are just concerned about your weight burdending the pace of an asteroid like if you were an elephant.

Ah My Little Frontier: the power of friendship is magic💕✨💕.
