Thinking about the Nijo brothers' relationship and how it might develop in Argonavis 2.0.

THEY EXPERIENCE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, FORGIVE EACH OTHER, AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS NO LONGER ABUSIVE: Deeply conflicted about this option. If it's done well, it could be really good, but IMO any version of this beyond the 90th percentile of goodness is going to leave me cold. I'd say this probably wouldn't happen, but uh Enstars made a million bajillion dollars and now joseimuke characters are allowed to have character development. onefear.jpg

THEIR RELATIONSHIP KEEPS GOING ON LIKE IT ALWAYS HAS, AND THE TIDES BEAT BACK ON THE WAVES, FOREVER AND EVER AMEN: Another likely option! The Argonavis authors might not want to give up the most interesting dynamic in their 6/10 franchise for fear of losing the insane fujoshi audience. I'd be pretty chill about this, because it means I'll have an infinite supply of food to feast on until this shit stops making money.

HARUKA DOES A MURDER-SUICIDE LIVE ON STAGE BY BEATING KANATA TO DEATH WITH HIS GUITAR AND THEN STABBING HIMSELF: Absolute banger of an option, I would literally cut off my arm if they agreed to do this in canon. Unfortunately, I don't think the Argonavis authors accept deranged foreign fujoshi limbs as currency and I don't think they'd have the balls to do this otherwise. This ain't Mahoyaku. Sadly.

i know i love nijocest but there's also the underrated humor (if you're a sick motherfucker) of shu/haruka. "my boyfriend, who is a middle schooler and also my boss, is trying to get me to bang my abusive brother because he thinks it will tank my mental health and therefore make me make better music." fucking shrimp colors levels of toxicity. i love it.

i haven't read every epsilon phi story yet but i'm enjoying the chekov's guns of:

1: kanata's main weakness is people who are too autistic/socially inept/weird to manipulate in the way he's manipulated basically everyone else

2: ren a: shares interests with haruka b: is a bleeding heart who loves helping people c: is also fantastically autistic and socially inept

i have literally no idea what was going on with the argonavis writers when they created the nijo brothers because everything else is mildly interesting at best and then they just proceed to write the most viscerally realistic depiction of an abusive sibling relationship i've ever seen in media
