Man, Shindo Looked So Cute In The Past. Am I The Only One? But Then What He Went Through Transformed

Man, Shindo looked so cute in the past. Am I the only one? But then what he went through transformed him into a handsome but still evil/ jerk. Ooooh idea for a what if, what if he had a girlfriend before and she left him after he went bad?! That would explain the NG girls lol He’s trying to fill the void the breakup gave him because she liked him before he became the “Emperor”. By taking out the two gangs Shindo thinks she won’t have a choice but to come back to him since what he was doing proves he was right.

Yo new headcanon: Shindo straight up transformed into one of those toxic masculinity podcast peddlers cause he got his heart broken in middle school. 😭

Do you think we will have a personality change from Matakara?

I mean I hope so; I doubt Matakara is going to completely abandon all his ideals but hes definitely in a vulnerable place. I'm glad we finally got him breaking away from his misconceptions about Arajin, though it sucks that it's looking like the outcome is going to be him being fed half truths by Shindo and possibly manipulated by Ichiya. It's interesting that both Ichiya and Senya are manipulating these two so they can settle whatever it is between them. It makes me think there's going to be a confrontation between Arajin and Senya sooner than later.

Arajin is attracting all the guys lol😆😆😆 I love it! He’s got good boy Matakara and now Shindo might be in a love hate relationship.

It kind of reminds me of Tsuna Sawada from Katekyo Hitman Reborn. He has a huge crush on this girl in his class but he basically keeps attracting a harem of dudes lol.

It’s a great move for writing a story but I just detest when the villain isn’t exactly lying to you. Even though Shindo has been an enemy for most of the series so far, Matakara is trusting him because he hasn’t lied to him. He was right about Arajin and he was right how get Ichiya so Matakara can get the “power” he wants.

It's like yes, Arajin is using someone else's power to be strong (for his own reasons, primarily to impress Mahoro)and he is a coward, but he hasn't tried to do anything to convince Matakara he's still that kid who had those high ideals and wanted to be a Honki person. Every step of the way he's told Matakara "No, I'm not who you think I am, I don't care about that stuff now, I just want a girlfriend and to not get my ass kicked, and I don't even consider you my friend anymore we haven't spoken in 5 years".

Shindo sees how one track mind Matakara is, how wholly committed he is to his own moral code, his beliefs about strength and Honki people, and the pedestal he's put Arajin on. It's all come crashing down on him and Matakara is also dealing with his brother (who he also idolizes) possibly dying and his own fears and doubts (is that what the smoky thing is? Srsly wtf is that thing? Is it literal or metaphorical?). I'm on pins and needles to see what Matakara plans to do next.

Are there female geniuses in Bucchigiri? I thought about this after Senya said she wanted a family with Arajin, you know, they didn't even have any interaction, but I ship Senya with Ichya a lot.

Lol I think Senya just said that to distract Arajin from his question and there's the running gag double entendre about "merging" and what it means. Reminds me of when guys who really want to have sex might say "Uh, it's cause I want to start a family with you baby! I'm really serious about you so let's do it" or something like that.

I am curious as to whether there are any other genies at all besides Senya and Ichiya. Maybe they're the only two to exist in that world? Maybe there's others in other areas of the world?

Also, what is that smoky shadowy thing supposed to be? Is it a metaphorical image of feelings Matakara is struggling with? Part of Ichiya's powers/magic? I'm kinda confused still.

I can understand why Arajin didn’t want to get involved with the gangs…….they all scare me😶 Matakara is cool, but if you always have a target on your back with the gangs inside your school and then people like the NG Boys outside of school it can get stressful for always being on high alert.

Like I fault him for being unreasonably cold to Matakara because of his own guilt over the past but he's totally within his rights to not want to be involved in a gang war where half of the people there have actively been giving him shit.
