ideal tenma and juza dynamic for me is tenma trying to befriend juza and juza being awkward abt it until tenma is like oh nooooo. this is bc I’m famous… im Not Normal… ig someone like juza probably thinks I’m pompous and annoying…. and when they actually talk abt it juza reveals that he thinks tenma is far too nice a person to be friends with him and tenma is just like. me. too nice? too nice??? THATS YOU!!! and then they end up being the kind of friends that are like really supportive of each other?

idk. i feel like in some ways both juza and tenma struggle with like self-image and like ideal selves / masculinity—juza with his love of sweets and his hatred of his “image” as a scary guy, yet also thinking it’s better to conform to that bc why try otherwise…. tenma with his self-perception of himself as a movie star but like also someone who until recently was friendless and without tact and didn’t really have any close personal relationships and felt so insecure about his improv acting that he went and joined mankai. he’s definitely got a perfectionist streak too (and I do imagine like, his fright concerning ghosts and stuff is like. ok it’s very funny but I imagine it’s kind of relieving to be in a space where ppl laugh at him but aren’t necessarily critiquing or demeaning him? as someone who has probably had his entire self written abt by movie/tv critics etc to hell and back) i kind of feel like they’d have that singleminded intensity of approaching things? juza w/ acting and like tenma w/ being a troupe leader—genuinely one of my fav moments of summer troupe is tenma out there being like “sakuya said we should all sleep together!!! then we’ll Bond!!!” bc it’s just so delightfully earnest and bullheaded at the same time?

NONONONONONO BC UR SO RIGHT AND YOU SHOULD SAY IT THATS EXACTLY IT THATS MY FAV ASPECT OF TENMA'S CHARACTER THAT THE FANDOM HAS STARTED WRITING ON HES SO SO EARNEST HE MEANS EVERYTHING SO MUCH AND HE DOESNT EVEN REALISE WHICH WORKS SO WELL WITH JUZA BC HE NEEDS TO KNOW YOU REALLY ACTUALLY MEAN WHAT YOU'RE SAYING [neurodivergent juza headcanon perhamspe] i can sooooo see tenma trying so hard to play that whole 'cool dude bro game' when trying to invite juza to hang out at first like 'yo like. im going out for a bit and idk u wanna come with or something. just gonna get like a f-fucking um' soda [read: HE DOESNT REALLY KNOW WHAT PEOPLE GO OUT AND DO. HE IS ALSO NOT USED TO CURSING CASUALLY LOL] and juza j tenatively agrees only to make the fucking most INTENSE puppydog eyes at a crepe stand they pass until tenma is like 'HUH UM I LIKE. I KINDA WANT A CREPE.' 'DO U WANNA GET A CREPE W ME.....M-MAN?' and then they both spend like 20 mins talking ab the international sweets tenma had when he was growing up [juza is sooooo jealous] it is really important to note also that tenma almost gets hit by a cyclist on these outings this is not relevant to anything i j need u to know that juza has effectively become his 'scary dog privileges' soooo much to think ab with these two.... SORRY FOR NOTE DUMPING ON U OP </3 a3!
