missing tiger trio SO bad ohhhhhhh goodness…… guys i love them so bad
things never to say to someone who just came out, Saiki K edition
Obssesed with figuring out how the eggs feel about eachother based on the times we can see them interact by themselves in the background.
• Tallulah and Chayanne the absolute beloveds. They are 100% eachothers favorite, no questions asked. So many gifts and lil inside jokes and playing together. Chayanne will destroy an entire army for her and Tallulah is all flowers and sunshine until someone threatens him and then she is the "hold my flower" meme.
• Bobby and Tilín were like those kids who you see fighting in the park, but 10 minutes later they are acting like they are the best of friends in the world. (And then 10 minutes later they are fighting again.)
• Ramon and Chayanne, the ultimate adrenaline bros. Climbing stuff to do water bucket clutches and going into dungeons and running ahead to kill stuff. Very rough and tumble kind of kids.
• Ramon, Dapper and Chayanne aka Tantrum Trio aka Tallulah Protection Squad aka The Quackity Haters.
• The only way Bobby can interact with the other eggs is by being The Most Annoying. A physical representation of "oh, you little shit".
• JuanaFlippa and Tilin. Best friends gone too soon. Fighting tooth and nail in their respective afterlives to find eachother.
• Most recently, Tallulah and Richarlyson. Tallulah is very much enjoying the "IM NOT THE YOUNGEST ANYMORE :0!" life. Took him under her musical wing and is very happy to have someone who she can teach stuff to.
• Bobby and Richarlyson, annoyance at first sight, will beat eachother up if given the chance.
• And they all side eye Gegg.
Very much missing out on stuff from other POVs but what little I have makes my heart all fuzzy, these kids are so freaking cute.
Blowing myself up and everyone else in the room
If i let myself add anymore panels from this weeks chapter I'm just gonna upload the whole thing im literally gonna melt into nothing oh my god i need to read the new mafia if chapter oh my god
Was typing but realized I'm going too much, more brain blast under cut
what if you Loved someones, what if the love in ur heart was enough to know that it transcends the need to always be together, what if you love ur favorite people enough to know you can watch them from afar knowing you'll eventually come back together
what if you realised that you can still love urself and the good you can have w urself and the good u have when with others
separation makes the heart grow fonder!! what if you love enough to know the time apart is still a gift!!
This arc is insane and it's like, so vital to clara's character + love trio development + mairuma's themes overall
I am being turned into concrete holy oh my god [also this is now my analysis sorry if I'm speaking straight nonsense]
Clara's always like, been the foundation of the love trio, at the very least she's to be credited for establishing how the trio defines themselves to each other [to outsiders theyre defined by one member [iruma] since they're called the iruma army, very cute but I'm making distinctions between how that and the love trio name does different for them]
The title iruma's army hinges on clara and azz's devotion to iruma as seen thru the outside perspective and it also makes them kinda, like a love angle, as its how they are connected to iruma but not each other specifically
Love trio is clara's way to define how each of them in the trio are interconnected thru their love for each other [the phrase love trio also focuses on them as a trio, putting them on a more even dynamic with each other]
Side tangent sorry I'm sitting here writing this post almost immediately after reading the chapter, i think love trio encompasses some the fundamentals of demonhood [greed, power, control] as reflected in their evil cycles, my third eye is open, irumas evil cycle was greed [and his character growth is him learning and tapping into these demonic indulgences that're frowned upon in human society] as he wanted more for the misfits which can be seen as greedy as it's asking for more than the class is allowed, azz's is power as training lets him enter his evil cycle to have more unchecked power in combat, clara's is control as her worries and insecurities drove her to store away iruma and azz to keep them with her under her care forever
I digress tho i haven't even gotten into like 30% of my illness about the love trio
This arc really dove into clara's character as, shes been kinda been kept in the dark when it comes to, what she actually may be thinking, like id argue it's intentional that clara hasn't been really given free range to be entirely herself in a way that doesn't outwardly make others uncomfortable
Clara was so, unabashedly herself, but the story didn't punish her for that, it's just that through azz And iruma [even if he very much threw water on a grease fire omg], she learns that she Can feel these things both good and awful, and that one, theyll love her anyways [good point that iruma made, horrible time to express it] but two, that it doesn't mean she should bury these worries within herself and instead of this domineering control over the ones she cares about when expressing her most primal fears, the bad stuff needs to get recognized first and that she needs to let others in to express that
or yk in easy terms, iruma's way was "I'll love you even with the bad" and azz's way was "this is all the bad but I'll love you", basically an inverse approach in how they talked down clara [if im making sense who knows]
I hope that we do get to see iruma and azz make good on indulging clara's wishes to go like, swamp lol, weird girl central, after exams in the extras or [indulging the kinda greed youll see in the bible] in an entire chapter I'm not asking for much,,,
Im getting distracted but the start and end chapters for this arc have the same name, Coming full circle, the arc starts w clara's concern about staying behind in make up classes and not spending end of term w iruma and azz and it ends w her being reassured that pass or fail in make up classes or end of term fun, they still together and love each other and it'll be fine no matter what
Also this is the first time iruma and azz have been shown to be visibly attached to clara as the center, seen in the first few pages [what comes to mind is the times azzclara stuck to irumas sides and the few times i think iruclara did the same to azz], just wanna mention bc they're so cute I'm disintegrating into nothing
The chapter also ending w the little tease of clara's hair sticking up in the same way as in her evil cycle state, my illness
I think this represents a few things but largely what i think is important to herself + the love trio, i think it's representative of how she will keep some of how she was in her evil cycle just more tempered, base/non evil cycle clara is already in touch w love for iruma and azz it was just put on the extreme, i think going forward she'll now just, be more in touch w the different like, aspects of her insecurities, like expressing the bad thoughts she stores away to iruma and azz, but also bc i do think that the love trio are kinda representing fundamentals of demonhood, ill be bold and say she's gonna be even More confident w her love for iruma and azz [expressing control thru more establishment of the love trio in the story, i think]
also i am just, the way nishi-sensei continously draws these intimate moments between the love trio in this shoujo romance manga kinda style, especially when the panel/page feels like it's framed to be from the view point of one of the three, like that's just something that can be so special
Minor thing, among many things I've thrown in here i literally have the chapter open in a different tab so i can reference it during writing, i think clara kinda snapping at iruma and azz for being overbearing in the first pages is like, one of the few times i recall her actually, doing anything of the sort? might be wrong tho but i like this visible development to their dynamic
yea so I'm pretty normal about this chapter,,, <<<guy who folds quick when it comes to love trio content
