i'm gonna get tomatoes thrown at me for this but with season 4 of tokyo revengers coming soon... i lowkey need yall to start looking at takeomi through a non sanzu-obsessed lense.
saying you hate him and calling him THE worst tokyo revengers character because of "what he did to his siblings" is just wrong and hypocritical as hell because most of you say that while loving taiju OR being neutral about him and i just can't take this seriously at all.
i'd say both characters are two sides of the same coin but even that wouldn't be accurate because taiju actually physically abused his siblings for YEARS while takeomi was just making stupid decisions and being neglectful at worst.
the chokehold sanzu has on this fandom is insane cause the energy y'all have for hating takeomi was nowhere to be found when it was taiju beating on hakkai and yuzuha 😭
yes omg!!! (Using the other older brother, shin) (tw spoilers)
Shinichiro did basically the the same things with Manjiro and izana (introducing them to gang life) -they both had too large responsibilities for their age (arguably takeomi had more as shin had grandpa sano)
you can’t really expect him (takeomi) to know the ‘right thing’ because he grew up as a delinquent himself-he literally does not know any other way of life. It’s not really his fault, I would say it’s his parents fault, as it’s their job to raise their children. He was barely raised himself. As far as we know the worst thing he did was yell at them and treat them differently…but low-key…how was he supposed to know better!!! No one taught him how to raise two kids..but he tried anyway
I think his silence in the Kanto manji arc was him feeling guilty/remorseful about how he treated his siblings..that’s why he chose to withdraw. Otherwise he could have been there with Waka and benkei…
