ok now I can talk. Riko thinking that if he can conform hard enough to the number on his face, if he can kill and maim to be number one forever maybe his family will care about him and being wrong vs andrew who rejects any form of conformity or cooperation and has a family that follows him everywhere and kills for him even if they don't understand him. riko the brother forcing kevin into a partnership built on fear and control with strict power structures vs the natural egalitarianism of andrew being a twin (the twins have their issues, but ultimately their deal started as a mutual agreement based on give-and-take). riko beloved by the public vs andrew being hated by exy fans. their feelings toward exy. riko controlling kevin and jean through fear vs the trust andrew builds with kevin and neil. striker vs goalie. antagonist vs love interest. it's not even like they're total opposites either that's what makes it great. both orphans not technically but functionally. both violent and famous, two of the best exy players in the ncaa. dress in black. knives. both massive cunts. bullied by neil josten
