Sho Being Dr Jekyll - Tumblr Posts
Completely crack theory that has no basis whatsoever and is a joke (i shared it with @/2flowerz a while ago too lmao)
There is no Hyde.
Not in the sense that Hyde isn't his real name because Leo said that Dante probably isn't Dante's real name so it's safe to assume most of the faculty work under pseudonyms and Hyde isn't his real name either. But in the sense that there's only one Haizono brother. Hyde is Sho.
Hyde and Sho have the exact same eye color and pattern AND SIMILAR SHAPE and mostly the same hair color. Sho has a high ponytail and Hyde has a low one, so adjacent hair style too--Sho's hair is almost covering one eye while Hyde's fully covers the other too. Adjacent default expressions. Compare that to our other pair of brothers who have different hairstyles(but the same base hair color) and similar but different eye colors and shapes and expressions(but well one is a ghost and one is barely alive.)
Their hair colors aren't as similar on my phone comically I think I have some sort of enhanced color setting on here, BUT YOU CAN STILL SEE THE VISION THEY BOTH HAVE ALMOST WHITE HAIRlmao
So why would Sho and Hyde be coexisting if they're the same person? Well if there are timeloops like we suspect and not everyone loops perfectly, perhaps Sho is sent back in time as his last-living self when the loop resets, as opposed to being reset to a certain point.
Instead, Sho is sent back to when he was younger, in his last-living state, but with the child Sho from the new timeline still intact--and thanks to his existing knowledge of anomalies and the outcome of the world, he's able to fabricate the existence of an older Haizono child for his own family and neighbors. The Institute would obviously notice that uh actually this person doesn't exist and notice something was wrong and approach him--but since he's not out to harm anybody, he would get more or less immediately brought in to Darkwick and the Institute to be observed and eventually to help out. Since he already knows so much(he's not Leo but they both memorized the textbooks, they both got very high marks, Sho is extremely intelligent) he'd excel in the field of anomalous biology and everything would go smoothly.
As long as he makes sure Sho(as he himself would, by now, be Hyde) made it to Darkwick again, he could help him survive and maybe change the outcome that he'd experienced in the first timeline as Sho. [According to Sho in the campus chat I can't find my screenshots of] Sho is taking advantage of Hyde because it's "practical" and he can use Hyde to "get ahead" but Hyde(Sho of the previous timelines) is really trying to help him get ahead and use him to change whatever outcome happened in the pre-prologue timeline. He's using everyone else too, since every time there's a reset he learns more from the Sho of that timeline's experiences--but he's just trying to look out for himself and maybe save everyone in the process.
Taiga doesn't trust him because he remembers the first timeline. Hyde didn't exist. Who is this guy and why is he trying to pull all these strings? Where did he come from? Maybe Hyde tried to explain once and Taiga didn't believe him, or since Hyde is Sho Taiga can't actually see anything relating to him and just gets feedback on Sho instead--technically there should only be one Sho in each timeline, so his ability to see through time only works on the one that should be there. Which only makes it harder to trust him.
THERE IS NO BASIS OR REASONING BEHIND THIS THEORY BEYOND 'SHO AND HYDE LOOK EVEN MORE SIMILAR THAN JIRO AND ZENJI'. THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY POST.
