Happy International Friendship Day
to Sakura, Nirei, and Suo
So when Sakura and Sugishita are fighting and the announcements go off it stops the fight and gets everyone’s attention
Everyone (other than Sakura, who doesn’t get what’s going on or why everyone shifted their attention so suddenly) is looking up towards where Umemiya’s voice is coming from, EXCEPT for Suo who’s eyes are cast down and honestly seems more in his head than anything
what if suo twin meet skr?
may we all find friends who would hunt us down to check if we're okay even we say mean things to keep distance and happen to be a part of a secret organization where we all have matching tattoos.
its also interesting how rakta does the translating, too. just like in that very first chapter we got that was set in bankoku-gai; direct translation is Not what the rc does. they Mediate, but clearly have a policy of non-direct communication between problematic parties. umemiya saying "i know that punch felt good. but could you just take the money and leave the kid alone?" turns into "he doesnt mind that you punched him. and we'll talk to the child." those are NOT the same concepts. it takes out the empathy ume was showing for the other man as a person, as well as his plea for peace, and instead puts the onus on rakta and the rc to handle the problem, as opposed to the two parties actually discussing and working out their differences
theres so much nuance to translation. it really really seems like the RC has a "mediate, make peace, separate warring parties, make sure we handle the mess" kind of policy. which doesnt. solve root issues.
the range of posts I've seen in this fandom on here since the release of 225 is so wild:
First we have the people thoughtfully analyzing panels, as usual, and theorizing what happens next and what different things mean, or just going off on some angsty future scenarios they're imagining. Love the wbk fandom for this.
And then if you move to the right a little you have the "RAKTA IS AMAZING" camp followed behind by the "UMEMIYA IS SO GREAT" posts. Some of these are in depth character analysis while others are really just "isn't he cool?!?" and I respect both.
And if you keep walking this way you'll be slammed by SO MANY POSTS ABOUT THE TATTOOS. But this is so real actually.
And then occasionally if you keep going you might be jumped by a post or two suggesting Rakta is falling for Umemiya as a new rarepair. I'm not generally a shipper but this makes me laugh.
Brothers, hejehejehejhejeheheheh

Preliminary Round
Suo Hayato from Wind breaker vs Sakura Haruka from Wind Breaker
Suo Hayato
Sakura Haruka
Winner gets a place in the main bracket
I love Rakta observing the situation first, asking each party calmly for their side of the story. I love Rakta giving everyone a fair chance. I love Rakta watching Umemiya be so caring towards that kid. I love Rakta recognizing the pass in Umemiya's pocket. I love Rakta being a fair and impartial judge, who doesn't involve himself emotionally or personally in those conflicts.
and I love Rakta's reaction to Umemiya being just as observant and calm but involving himself and his own physical state in the conflict. I love how this showcases the differences between how the Wind Breakers handle things vs the Red Chanpuru. I love the different approaches to finding a compromise, the difference in personal involvement.
I love seeing how being with Furin has created a sort of pipeline for Suo from the uninvolved, impersonal arbiter style of the RC (represented by Rakta) to the involved, initiating "hero" style (represented by Umemiya).
no idea, but this panel made me think of this one:
Ah, Rakta-Nii 🥹🥹
I will NEVER get over this pose omg somebody has to stop him he's too cool
destroying and betraying yourself for nothing all by yourself, handsome?
👀👀
umemiya and rakta could be the start of a really powerful duo. I'm buying stocks on hiragi and bacchus next
