#some of you guys are funnier than me and that's illegal SMH

[no-psi-nan]

Kuniharu is cancelled and the people (well, 76 of them) have spoken...

It looks like Ms. Kaido is the winner by far! That may be partially my fault, due to a particular meta post...

Mr. Matsuzaki did well, but an equal number of people thought Kurumi should just stay single.

Interestingly enough, 4 different people suggested Kurumi have multiple partners, hell yeah! And 9 of you were ready to marry her yourselves LOL, power to the people!

Full results with the potential reasonings I offered in the survey, plus people's explanations for their choices (optional), are under the cut!

Ms. Kaido (26%)

(40s, also eliminates Shun's absentee dad, has a career she can relaunch)

Milf squad <3

Ayyyy Mrs. Kaidou x Kurumi slow burn friends to lovers supremacy!! And we never see Kaidou's dad, soooooo...

I just want to know how Kusuo and Shun would feel about being stepbrothers

They all so tempting maybe she should just have a harem by this point but Ms. Kaidou is very very tempting one from that one post but still harem by this point cuz damn they all tempting

Tbh I saw your post about Kaidou's mom divorcing her current husband and having a slow burn with Kurumi, and it just really stuck with me? Like you're right, they both deserve better than what they currently have, and they have so much potential to improve each other. Genuinely think they make a good pair. Also, I like imagining Kaido and Kusuo having to deal with the fact that they're going to be brothers. Kusuke too. Lol, poor Kaido's going to have to deal with so much chaos from now on :D

She's a milf

girlboss milf x girlboss milf

Kaido needs a soft mother figure and saiki needs a strict parent figure so it helps both

sweet wife and tsundere wife that care about their kids so much

You know, I was leaning toward a Kuboyasu because of that girl gang Kurumi theory... But Kusuo needs more younger siblings to cancel out the garbage older brother he was cursed with.

They Balance each other. Also it’s funny

Mr. Matsuzaki (13%)

(???, already parents half the school, hard worker)

Idk i just…like him. I feel like Kusuo would hate it at first but be relieved to have a father figure. Plus Kusuo has said before that he does like Mr. Matsuzaki

THE MATSUZAKI OPTION'S DRIVING ME INSANEEEEE. kusuo already likes him but he would not know how to act if he gets a crush on his mom. dear god.

Look I know a dad when I see one. Mrs. Kaido is also a good choice but 4 siblings might be too much for Saiki.

Saiki has said that he is kind to him and I think the interactions could be cool. I don't really have a specific reason tbh, it's more of a vibes thing.

I just think....good dynamic. Not gonna elaborate

i just think mr matsuzaki is cool :]

Nobody (13%)

(Kurumi is a strong independent woman who doesn't need a spouse)

Kurimi starts a feminist movement where she creates a new gang that verbally\physically *deals with* useless husbands, and we love that for her.

I was going to say that Kurumi is not strong and indipendent enough but then the scene where she cooks a boot to Kuniharu crossed my mind and erased it all. Except this, I don't think she'd get married again, seeing the strong relationship she has with Kuniharu, but she'd need a partner, do you remember the episode where she keeps buying water and water cause she wasn't coraugeous enough to say no? Exactly. Thank goodness there was Kusuo but most importantly Kuniharu.

The survey-taker (12%)

(These people want to homewreck the Saiki family personally.)

i am going to homewreck this family watch me

she already has a manchild for a husband but im hotter so

I would take excellent care of Kurumi and be a wonderful spouse to her, she will live a life of luxury and love because she deserves it. I will also gently show kusuo that it is okay to rely on parental figures and also annoy him will dad jokes. And I will put Kusuke in therapy because lord knows he needs it.

Mrs. Kuboyasu (9%)

(??? we don't know her but the thought of an ex-gangster milf reunion is compelling...)

i was gonna pick midori BUT the 'exgangster milf reunion' got to me

Midori Nendo (9%)

(32, hard worker and managed to raise a great son by herself)

midori is objectively probably the best mother (at least in the anime) in this essay i wi–

Michael, midori, or matsuzaki are responsible adults who are not insane or horrible to kids. Midori preferred atm because I want to see the horror on kusukes face when he realizes Nendo is his brother, and Nendo is naturally immune to Kusuo’s gifts. Also midori and Kurumi are already friends so MILF friends to lovers. Also I would parent those kids myself but I don’t fit into this age criteria.

I want the milfs to kiss. Also nendo and saiki as brothers sounds like his worst nightmare, and id love to see it.

The idea of nendo and saiki being adopted brothers is so funny though

Rean Kuboyasu (4%)

(36, retired gangster)

No but like Kusuo would be super worried for a hot sec because the man's an ex-gangster but then it cuts to Kurumi absolutely destroying someone over something and he'd be like actually he's probably good for her. He would hate being Aren's brother though (the guy is cool but he almost rivals Shun in dramatics)

Chono the Magician (3%)

(27yo but has made an impressive career for himself in showbiz!)

I personally think either Chono (even though he’s Midori’s ex), Midori, Micheal or Ms. Kaidou would be good candidates for Kusuo’s step-dad/step-mom. Kurumi could work as a single mom too. Any of those options are good (Chono is my personal favorite tho lolol)

Chouno's admiration of saikis skills run the risk of causing the same complex that kuniharu had but tbh I just think hed be funny. also there would be a lot of complicated dynamics with nendous family now and i just like the chaos. on a more serious note i do really like chouno, and he already knows saiki has some crazy abilities and instead of becoming useless like kuniharu or being obsessive like kuusuke, he just got better at his job and took a little inspiration. also like u said, hes pretty well off now with a successful career, unlike kuniharu who just licked shoes, so. good dad, he seems nice :)

Micheal, the Magician's Assistant (3%)

(30s, excellent father to many pigeons)

Peanuts Ueda (1%)

(early 40s probably, successful comedian)

The magician Kusuo summoned one time (1%)

(??? he do be kinda hot tho)

My sister who has watched only the first couple of episodes wanted to put in her input. Originally, she said Michael, but then I showed a picture of him and she changed her mind

Kuniharu Saiki (1%)

(nooo I actually like him 🥺)

The write-ins

Both Mr. and Mrs. Nendo

Nendous dad has made Kusuo have that eye sparkle, (when the time travel thing happend), and he spends more time with him then his own dad does even as a ghost. Even if it is just to bug him to do random stuff, that is what actual dads do so its fine!

And you cant just have Nendous dad, Ms Nendou is a part of this package. Ms Nendou is a hard working women that deserves to have not only her husband, but a sweet and loving wifey as well! She would not only care for Kusuo, I also think she would set Kuusuke right, this boy needs some help.

Obviously for this to work, that means that Nedad did not die. Honestly once I had thought of this I could not put anything other then it

Both Mr. and Mrs. Kuboyasu

I feel like Mrs. Kuboyasu is still kinda mixed up in stuff, while Mr. Kuboyasu is like “the way of the househusband”. In my mind they are secure in their marriage and would never break apart after all they have been through. However, Adding in Kurumi’s “hold my flower” would be very interesting.

A kuniharu mannequin :J

Because it would be funny as hell if Kuniharu lost against his own mannequin shfjsjfu

pros: Kurumi keeps his spouse's good looks? ig, Kuniharu gets rekt, Mannequin doesn't talk :J

cons: still looks like Kuniharu
