Kiyi is not a Princess - A Look At the Fire Nation's Line of Succession
It's not even that much about Kiyi. But the creators seemingly got so lost in the sauce that their ideas about how absolutist monarchies work are as good as taken out of Disney movies now. So, let's set the record straight.
The Fire Nation line of succession
When it comes to royal lines, there were multiple elements that went into setting the line of succession: descent, sex, legitimacy, religion etc. For the Fire Nation, the ones we have 100% confirmed are descent and legitimacy (this last one seen with the Camellia-Peony War, where Chaejin was excluded from the succession because he was born out of wedlock). I would have gone on a whim to say sex counts as well, however, it is a bit foggy. In the Reckoning of Roku, it is mentioned that Firelord Taiso believed Zeisan (Sozin's younger sister) would have been a more competent ruler but could never become Fire Lord due to being a nonbender (I didn't actually read the book, so if someone who did wants to pitch in with the exact wording, please feel free to). This implies that being a Firebender is a requirement, but being a woman isn't. However, it also implies that Taiso would have been fine with ignoring the descent part (Sozin was older) if he deemed fit. Skipping the firstborn in favour of the second one isn't unheard of when it comes to succession so sure. And he is the absolute monarch, if he wants to pass papers to change the line of succession, he can. It is unclear to me if there is any power in place to veto or block a Fire Lord's ruling on any matter so for all we know, if he wanted, he could have. Plus, the fact that Ozai got crowned over Iroh because it was 'Azulon's dying wish'. For the religion part, it seems like the Fire Sages have to perform the coronation and acknowledge the monarch.
So to make it more digestible, the line of succession (while Azulon was still alive) is: Iroh → Lu Ten (firstborn of the heir) → Ozai → Zuko → Azula. With Lu Ten dead, Iroh MIA (at the time) then we have Ozai → Zuko → Azula. When Iroh came back, he gets added at the end of this line of succession. I am a bit unclear on Iroh in current times because it looks to me like he rescinded his role in the line of succession altogether with deciding to live in Ba Sing Se and letting politically inexperienced Zuko rule instead of taking over for a few years to create some stability.
Right now, we have Fire Lord Zuko and his heir presumptive (aka an heir that can be displaced if the monarch has children) Azula. Unless he wrote a decree to take her out of the line of succession — which would require a lot more brain cells than the writers are willing to give Zuko, not that he had a lot of them when it came to politics to begin with —then she's next in line. It doesn't matter how much anyone wants it or not, if Zuko drops dead tomorrow, Azula gets the throne.
Now, onto the other matter.
How does one become a Princess?
Option 1: You marry into the royal family. For example, Ursa was styled as a Princess, as she married Prince Ozai.
Option 2: You're born in a royal line. For example, Azula is a Princess because her father is a Prince, her grandfather, at the time of her birth, was the ruling monarch of the Fire Nation etc.
Bonus Option it's complicated: Royals had a habit of having children out of wedlock sometimes. Said children, if acknowledged, could be granted titles (Count of X, Dutchess of Y etc.) . Getting acknowledged and a title does not automatically put you in the line of succession, though. For example, Firelord Chaeryu was forced to acknowledge Chaejin and avoid dishonoring his noble mother and her house, but he excluded Chaejin from the royal family.
So Kiyi is not a Princess. Simple as that. Neither of her parents are of the royal line.
Could she become a Princess?
Well, this gets interesting.
Let's start with the fact that Kiyi got a pretty bad deal in a class-based monarchical society.
First thing, while her mother is a noble, her father is a commoner. Even if Ursa's family became destitute after Roku's death because of political reasons, it does not change the fact that she is still nobility unless Sozin revoked Rina's title, which I am not 100% sure he did. We don't know anything about Jinzuk besides the fact that he was the magistrate of Hira'a. While magistrates do not have to be part of the nobility, they can be. He could have been a second/third/fourth son of a small noble family with limited power/resources, given the position he was given was in a place like Hira'a, which is what I am inclining towards. He could have also been just some guy, but someone appointed him, and as a rule of thumb, you don't just go into the street and pick a random person to appoint to an administrative and leadership role, even if it's a small town. Given that Azulon was set on Ozai marrying Ursa because she was Roku's granddaughter, whether or not Jinzuk was a noble, it doesn't matter all that much in the grand scheme of things. However, in Kiyi's case, it does if Zuko wants to give her a title. It's more stigma than anything because people can be given nobility titles for specific services to the crown etc. But this is not her only issue. Which leads me to...
Second thing, Kiyi is a bastard. Which, in my opinion, would hold even more stigma than her father not being a noble. Ursa never divorced Ozai. As far as we know, polygamist marriages aren't a thing in the Fire Nation, so her marriage to Ikem/Noren is invalid. Could she be granted a divorce retroactively by the Fire Sages? Actually, yeah. Because Zuko named Shyu as High Sage, which was like the one sound political move he ever did tbh. We don't see what the Fire Nation's stance on divorce is, but given that Shyu is a Zuko loyalist, he'd probably grant Ursa retroactive divorce from Ozai. I am not a legal expert, however, as far as I know, retroactive decisions tend to be reserved for correcting a mistake or omission in the written record. She was still married to Ozai when she went and married Ikem. Though technically, she married him under a fake identity (and so did he), which might make the marriage void regardless in the eyes of the law. Idk how Spirit involvement affects legal matters in the world of Avatar, but as things stand right now, unless we pretzel-twist ourselves to make excuses, Kiyi is born outside of legitimate wedlock.
Now, Zuko might not care. In fact, he probably doesn't. He could still give Kiyi a title, including that of Princess. It was not uncommon for illegitimate relatives of rulers to be offered roles/titles once acknowledged. The real question is if he would put her in the line of succession. Kiyi has no business being there because she does not have royal blood.
Could Zuko do whatever he wants, give her the title of Princess and shove her in the line of succession while taking Azula out of it for good measure? Sure, he can. He'd probably love that, in fact. But that leaves two things open.
One, nobility would not take kindly to a bastard child of a commoner with no royal blood being in the line of succession. If we also add the angle of taking Azula out of it, it would just increase their ire. There is already a long list of why the nobility is probably angry at Zuko (and should attempt to assassinate him a lot more than they do), but I think this one in particular has other implications. There might be nobles who are neutral about Zuko. Shamelessly discarding societal norms on a whim might make their perspective swing towards negative. It could make him lose goodwill he might have or potential allies.
Two, it will make the commoners wonder. If this random girl, raised as a peasant, with a commoner father, born out of wedlock, can be put in the line of succession just like that — while discarding a princess of the blood if we are at it — then… is the royal line not that special? The whole premise of a monarchy is that the monarch and their descendants have the divine right to rule. Being part of that bloodline gives you the right to rule. So if that can be discarded, if that bloodline is not all that important… should Zuko be Firelord? And most importantly, does the Fire Nation really need a monarch at all?
Kiyi is not a princess, and for the well-being of Zuko's reign — which is already barely holding together — he better not make her one.
#kiyi#atla#atla meta#fire nation#azula#zuko#(tbh the easiest way to pull this is Ursa pretending she was pregnant with Kiyi when she left and she's Ozai's kid)#(that requires her to retain some sharpness from her show appearance instead of being the blandest soggiest piece of character cliche)#(so not happening)#(also you'd have to be a moron to actually buy that but there's no DNA testing so)#the comics really are wasted opportunity after wasted opportunity huh#like this is the source material that gave us Long Feng the the Dai Li plot in Ba Sing Se#and we could have such interesting political intrigues in post war FN#but no#what we do is go actually everyone was good all along#all the characters that matter have always been anti imperialist#indoctrination doesn't exit#fire lord azulon who ruled for like 70+ years?#don't know him#can I see how Zuko brought the Fire Nation from it's war self to the peaceful and prosperous country in LoK?#Ah yes through the power of retconning#my bad for having standards#I mean I also have beef with the way some people in the fandom have no understanding of how monarchies work#but that's expected#what's the writers' excuse?#okay I'll shut up now this got out of hand

In the spirit of those Joey posts that make you ponder the implications of his childhood, here’s an idea I’ve had for a while. I think part of why it’s so hard for Joey to hear other people say his father is a bad person is because the first person who ever did that in front of him was Slade’s half brother, an absolute lunatic who kidnapped Grant and Joey when they were very, very young:



Deathstroke Vol. 1 Annual #4
Wade isn’t concerned for their wellbeing at all, in fact his narrative that Slade is a ruinous force is used as a pretext to hit and humiliate Grant
And just as things go from bad to worse, Slade and Addie come crashing in to rescue them:

It’s not hard to imagine this image, his dad as a protector, being one of Joey’s earliest memories
They get the kids out of the cabin as soon as possible, but there’s a good chance Joey would’ve still heard some of his uncle’s rambling accusations spilling out the broken window:

If he did, then Joey’s earliest memory of his father being called selfish is directly tied to a cruel, conniving man all too eager to tear their family apart just to get what he wants. It’s no wonder that someone speaking badly of his dad would put Joey on the defensive. To admit that any of those things were right would be, in his eyes, to admit that Wade was right all along
#overall i really don’t like some of the retcons that happen in this annual#vis à vis minimizing slade’s responsibility for joey almost dying even more#but there is some absolutely batshit family lore in here#and i am here for it#joey wilson#slade wilson#wade defarge#grant wilson#adeline kane#deathstroke (1991)#child abuse#undescribed

*slams door back open and comes back into the room*
Ok you know what, no
You know what also doesn't make sense?? People are translating or clarifying the offer katsuki made and saying he was asking Izuku to be a SIDEKICK, and not open/partner at an agency.
But you know what, that doesn't really make sense either!
Bc they're also saying that in the MHA universe, sidekicks do not get hero ranked. And in the case of being katsukis sidekick, Izuku would be working under Katsuki.
So hold up!
You mean to tell me that Katsuki, who wanted to compete with Izuku, and race him to the top, who has long, LONG since gotten over his desire to put Izuku in his place/lord over him/boss him around,
You mean to tell me he wanted Izuku to be his SIDEKICK?
How can they compete like that?
Why would he want Izuku in a position where he couldn't compete on an equal ground? That was what he always wanted and worked for.
I'm just saying it's fucking weird that thats what katsuki asked for, because that's not what Katsuki has been trying to work for.
Isn't Katsuki wanting him to be a sidekick under him kind of defeating the purpose of his development, of the whole 8 hear process he went through to get Izuku back out into the field? Is this not inconsistent?
#the math aint mathing#what happened here#what is the truth#bakudeku#yhe epilogue continues to plague me#ugh i need to wait until the official thing comes out but dammit#retconning Katsuki??#if anything izuku should be a freelancer#until maybe some years and experience down the line that they want to think about an agency or partnership#idfk man this vexes me#why did hori write the ending like this#i can SEE katsuki asking him to be his partner.#but sidekick makes no sense after all his development.#BE MY SIDEKICK IZUKU was for back when they were children and katsuki had a superiority complex#i thought forsure that we were talking about a PARTNERSHIP here#or at least working in the same agenxt#bc it is unclear if katsuki owns an agency at this point or if he is working under an established kne#but hes still fairly young so idk??

Regarding the new Aizen and Urahara information, the only ways Aizen can know Urahara before Yoruichi (considering that KisuYoru are childhood friends) are the following:
1. Aizen is way older than we think and has been keeping tabs on everyone. (I'd rather not lean towards this theory because it will further prove that he has no qualms stalking children. As much as I am aware that Aizen has no regards for moralities, this is just too much for my taste. Not that Kubo should care, of course.)
2. Aizen and Urahara could be relatives or siblings even. Sōsuke and Kisuke? I know that -suke is a common name among Japanese men, but these two have abundance of similarities that are hard to ignore. Both are intellectuals, loves doing research and experimentation, can be seen relying more on Kidō and Zanjutsu despite being an all-rounder, knows the truth about the Soul King. I thought that Kubo wrote them that way to demonstrate the difference in philosophies of "Superman" (Aizen, acting beyond good and evil) and "Last Man" (Urahara, a passive nihilist) by Nietzsche, but it seems that the author is cooking more.
#cook more kubo#but pls dont retcon the plot#bleach#aizen sousuke#sosuke aizen#urahara kisuke#kisuke urahara#tite kubo#ngl as much i lowkey ship aizen and urahara it would be a fcking banger if they are siblings#would be funny as hell that everything that happened in SS was bc of some SIBLING RIVALRY#it's bleach

why is polygamy not an option for Dick Grayson and im asking the writers, like he loves both Kory and Babs? I don’t see Kory and Babs being together but if they are ok with it Dick can be with both of them? Like he have a family in both the titans and gotham ?? Instead of this on and off with both that leaving everyone hanging let them be happy
#I know polygamy isn’t for everyone but i don’t think they discussed it?#Kory seems to be ok with the concept she is technically married to some other guy and Dick accepted it eventually#I wouldn’t say this is Dick wasn’t so upheld on monogamy that he looked like he was hiding something#Dick every two seconds: love should only be between TWO!#Like sir i know you grew up in the 80s but times are kinder now#Idk it annoys me this whole who is it and who is the end game let them be poly fix it#This is my headcanon now and they are doing it healthy and happy kory and babs share the love for Dick too and are besties#If you want them to date u can i just don’t know enough to judge if they would be into each others or not#Omg i forgot how kory handled the Revan dreams situation too it could work#In my head the whole Merage thing and rushed wedding never happened DC should retcon that#Or let kory kill merage then comfort her man idk#koryand'r#dick grayson#barbara gordon#batfam#Dc

Respectfully, but a character can be and SHOULD BE allowed to be more than one thing without it being considered "contradictory", "retconning," or "negative character development."
#this is specifically about the people reacting to downfall going WOW WHAT IS TAL DOING WITH MELORA SHE WAS SO SWEET AND KIND#and WOW PELOR USED TO BE SO SWEET??#like no people contain multitudes#and it's common in EVERY FANDOM so I'm not tagging it as a specific fandom#because it feels like characters get sanded down to one or two core traits#and anything not related to that either gets ignored or considered a retcon or the writers/players/actors not knowing the character#like going back to CR i saw some people reacting to Tal's VERY COMPLEX view of ashton's contradictory views on his feelings for fearne#as tal not understanding his own character and i'm like omfg have you never been a self-hating person who wants something they're scared#that they can't have??#are you all seriously just One Thing all the time#LET CHARACTERS HAVE THEIR NUANCE#STOP CLAIMING IT'S OOC OR RETCONNING OR BAD WRITING WHEN A CHARACTER IS COMPLEX#I AM GOING TO EAT A ROCK#this isn't even getting into this with my other fandoms#like oh this character did something shitty one time they are now completely defined by that shitty act#and any further kindness is just trying to cover up the shitty thing they did#how dare they#JUST HHNNGSDHSJKJ I AM SO ANNOYED BY THIS#STOP IT#WHY IS THIS HAPPENING

a lot of this has already been said probably but what keeps getting to me about the statements around the worldstate decisions is that aside from all the reasons it feels really shitty as a player coming from previous games, it erases the interconnectedness of thedas as a continent
putting together the choices from origins & inquisition, you can leave ferelden with a monarch who will leave behind no heir who at this point will be appearing less and less healthy each time he is seen in public. you can leave orlais with an emperor who has effectively gained this position by coup and garnered support on the promise of restoring orlesian glory through war (against ferelden AND nevarra. btw.)
but sure. let’s say that’s a peripheral conflict for the north. already stretching the limits of believability given how quickly tevinter slavers and antivan crows were able to react to the unrest during the blight but sure. let’s say they have bigger things to worry about rn.
let’s consider the divine election in trespasser then. any of the 3 divines can propel the chantry to the very brink of fracturing based on their approval. if they do manage to keep it united, then you can have a chantry under divine vivienne who empowers mages more than ever before under the chantry or divine leliana who has abolished circles entirely and opened the priesthood to elves, dwarves and vashoth/tal-vashoth. because of the timeskip this is now a state of affairs that has existed for a decade. there is no conceivable way that the social & political implications of this have not reached across thedas
there’s admitting you wrote yourself into a corner with the branching and need to do some retconning to stabilize the worldstates… and then there’s saying “that was all in the South. it doesn’t matter here.”
#da4 spoilers#veilguard spoilers#da critical#bioware critical#<- for anybody filtering the tags!#ik people would be annoyed by a statement of ‘yes we retconned your worldstates’ too#but doing it this way is just retconning it AND being dishonest about it at the same time!#i think we all knew they were going to have immense trouble reconciling all the branching decisions from the keep#(which btw. was also an attempt at paring down the amt of decisions carried over between games!)#i understand having to wipe the slate clean to an extent here!#but then you’ve either got to bridge some of those gaps (lyrium ghost leliana) or admit you bit off more than you can chew!#‘the south doesnt matter’ and ‘that’s just the orlesian chantry’ are not workable explanations for what’s happening here#bc that’s tenuous even when we’re in tevinter but as soon as we LEAVE tevinter the writing explicitly contradicts both of these ideas

thinking about marshall being considerably more rude and brash and annoying because the Ice Queen was originally a water nymph, they had no relationship, there is no Simone
like that boy was purely raised by satan
#me waiting for them to retcon Allegri's canon for F&C like i feel theyre gonna#but i like the Aaa cast being different characters that just happen to look alike and have some similar story beats#like prismo/simon didn't know about a lot of peoples inner lives/more niche interactions so they just had to fill in the blanks#adventure time

Padmé was a senator, and a famous one at that. From the movies and shows, it also doesn’t seem like she hid her pregnancy at all. Did people like… ask who the father was? Or is being a single mother more normal in Star Wars? Is it normal for the Naboo but not Coruscanti? The reverse? If it would raise eyebrows, did Bail or Mon Mothma ever ask her about it? Were there holo tabloids speculating about the father? Did she just tell people it was a private matter, or was there a cover story? I really need to know because fucking imagine if a senator was just casually pregnant and nobody knew who the dad was. That would cause such a stupid stir in the media. Imagine the conspiracy theories, the smear campaigns, especially as Palpatine gained more power.
#I need to know what happened#I bet there’s some old EU comic about it or something#my girlfriend figures Padmé just claimed it was a donor and there was nobody else in the picture#that would probably be the most likely#I bet non 501st clones speculated about it like crazy#especially the Bad Batch given the uh#retconned nose art scene#star wars#padme amidala#revenge of the sith#wendy's posts

Literally maybe nothing worse than realizing the dmc1 novel kind of Has to take place before dmc3, making Dante at the most like 16-17. Oh my god.

#Like ok obviously you gotta take it with a grain of salt because dmc3 didnt exist and stuff has pretty blatantly been retconned.#While some stuff is Still considered canon.#The existence of ebony&ivory in dmc3 means. All of that had to have happened when he was a teenager#Jesus christ.#I was trying to rationalize it being in-between dmc1&3. Just for how old he seems.#Which again is handwavey??? Dmc3 didn't exist yet so it's like.#He's definitely Intended to be older but dmc3 fucks it up a little.#I was also trying to rationalize it because of how I was interpreting Gilver as a character? Gerbil..#I kind of assumed he was either like. A half nelo angelo-ed vergil or a Clone/replica of a half nelo angelo (like trish..)#Which again I think was the. Intent. But it liike. Can't be....#ITS A LITTLE FRUSTRATING because I want to take the novel as completely canon because it's so fucking good.#But it's. The contradictions.. they vex me...#the gilver scene at the end is so much more brutal with like. Dmc3 in mind it's so sad that like... doesn't work....#It also makes. Closes my eyes. The bit where he gets? Fucking assaulted??? Like one million times worse????#Like it's already sickening and kind of radically reshaped my understanding of his character. But oh my god if he's literally 16-17????#I haven't been able to stop thinking about the novel I really wish I could stick it in between dmc3&1... ughhh.#Damn you capcom....#ITS FUCKING GOOD I need to reread it. Man. Ugh.#Literally didn't realize it has to be Before dmc3 until like an hour ago. Sometimes forget (ebony and ivory)

casey is obvs funny with this rivalry stuff because on the one hand he's very 'well I don't care who I beat' (lie) and 'I don't motivate myself using my rivals' (also a lie) and then he's also repeatedly emphasising that valentino was ONE of his biggest rivals and he only competed against him a few years... like a lil side quest in the story of his career. Those Few Years where valentino was his big rival. whereas dani and jorge were his cohort so he did compete with them for a greater span of time... and this is technically true and does MATTER but it is also extremely noticeable in his output which rivalry he has the most thoughts about. and yes casey would say that this is because everyone ELSE cares the most about That One Rivalry the most and also his opponent being an annoying dickhead means it's the one he has the most complaints about... but at a certain point, it doesn't really matter, because there's still one rivalry you're talking about way more than any other. you can tell that he's at least given jorge's interiority a bit of thought, kinda went 'well he was arrogant but also Learnt From The Error Of His Ways and was maybe misunderstood so' -- but also he's not going beyond that, he's not examining jorge's soul, and he's not even doing any of that with dani. it's very much a rhetorical commitment to those other two rivalries. ultimately the point is that he's doing what he can to not talk up his biggest rivalry TOO much, because, you see. he Did Not Care That Much. (lie.) now objectively speaking this kind of framing literally does not matter, who cares which one of these was the most meaningful rivalry, but it's interesting that it matters to him!! casey's problem is that he is extremely sensitive and cares deeply about what other people say about him, but one of the things he's most sensitive about is the idea that he could let himself be mentally affected by ANYTHING, worst of all his rivals. they cannot be granted that much power over him. and all of this has kinda funny consequences in that he has pretty rigid patterns in how he talks about this stuff that are at times quite convoluted because he has to simultaneously emphasise that a) none of his rivals massively mattered to him, b) That Rival didn't matter more than the others, c) what That Rival did to him was completely beyond the pale, and d) none of that affected him mentally whatsoever. at most one of these is true. there are so many things casey wants so badly not to care about but it keeps spilling out of him anyway, this oozing sludge of resentment and repressed hopes and desires and frustration and longing and bitterness. he keeps giving himself away... he cares so much and he can't stand it
#i do feel bad sometimes using a clip from when he was like. eighteen as my smoking gun piece of evidence for the prosecution#but come on. that valencia 2003 clip is insanely telling. like yeah right you loved beating a guy sponsored by the circuit#it's kinda like dyke!vale tormenting his first gp rival into throwing in the towel. those are the Key Character Traits they're exhibiting#//#brr brr#//ht#i do also think there's some interviews where there's like. some real retconning. like casey that was Not You#that one interview where he was going in HARD about how jorge/dani were confused about how happy he was for them winning#and like casey buddy there's an element of truth to but you could be a notoriously sore loser!! mr 'a podium this far off isn't worth it'#and it's partly stuff he's talked about before with how self-critical he was... but of COURSE it could come across as unpleasant#i am doing my best not to get repetitive so this is the LAST time i am airing this complaint for a couple months at least#but the problem is if you have the starting point of him as like. a straight talking straight shooter or whatever#you do automatically miss a lot of the nuance with which he's constructing his own image#it's honesty based on vibes rather than literal honesty. u can be blunt and calculating idk what to tell u#im so fascinated if the jorge wheelchair story is true... i recently remembered it was also in the broadbent book#and that ducati pr people had like. gotten mad about it. which does fill one or two gaps and makes me think maybe it DID happen#idk there's something quite revealing about it!! casey isn't just a dickhead in the classic athlete mould. he's got a *nastiness* to him#all the aliens are occupational dickheads. only two of them i'd say have a real inclination towards nastiness

Loki in season 2 saying that he did New York because he was soooo angry with his father and brother that he let his emotions get the better of him.......
#BOI#he didn't even recount what happened properly this is ridiculous#they will try to retcon but since i am not watching season 2 i will simply take this out of context#and decide this is how loki explains the events#loki explaining away the sudden development of violent tendencies between Thor 1 Avengers 1 and Thor 2: i was feeling emotional#Thor: you looked really bad are you sure it had nothing to do with some form of coercion or space cult--?#Loki: a guy can't even hold a planet hostage in this day and age without being questioned smh#Thor: wha--I'm just concerned#Loki: and i was having a bad week#Thor: doesn't sound right#Loki: are you trying to make me angry after you saw what happened the last time??#the Loki show

You know logically I know the Yakuza Kiwami pier scene was just a really awkward retcon rgg shoved into the story to accommodate for the majima everywhere system and the literal One (1) model change that Majima had in the entire original game, but after playing later games and seeing how their relationship plays out . Hm. Something something foreshadowing
#yakuza#kazumaji#uhhhhh whoops spoilers for y3 and 5 in tags just. augh#okay okay dont get me wrong here though#would kiryu just not give a fuck if majima got critically injured or died? Fuck No *gestures at kiryu's reaction to Majima's y5 “death”*#does kiryu recognize majima's insane amounts of strength and capability? yes#does that cause him to feel way too comfortable leaving majima behind with heavy burdens (ie taking care of daigo/the tojo)? yes#no if majima got shot in front of him kiryu would not walk away in a typical not-messy-retcon story scenario#but i think in hindsight its a bit funny that majima is bending over backwards and putting himself at risk to help kiryu#and kiryu just. Trusts he'll be fine and leaves. because that's Kind Of just what happens in like y3#also sidenote but im slowly getting saltier about the lack of kazumaji reunion in y5#im sad we didn't get to see kiryu see proof that majima was alive with his own two eyes#and im sad that majima let himself get the shit beat outta him because “[haruka] means more to kiryu-chan than life itself ”#and kiryu probably doesnt even Know he did that#listen ive said that the kiryu-majima-death-announcement-reaction was enough to scratch my brain for y5#but uh i lied. please. Please rgg have some mercy on me let them have another crushingly meaningful scene together im begging#sorry i should get addicted to shutting the fuck up#just. augh. they're so ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
