Ask game strikes again 2, 7 and 25 for Reko and/or 2, 18 and 25 for Beth from e/c (I wanted them to have same questions but it's hard to say what fandom does to Beth)
REKO YABUSAME
2. Favorite canon thing about this character?
I think I love the most how caring she is for those she deems weaker than her. She knows they deserve the kindness and soft words. She cared about Kanna and Gin from the beginning (and that's why it was so vexing to me that the rest of the cast didn't think something is wrong when (then fake) Reko didn't care that much about Gin and was mean sometimes)
Oh, and I love that she plays bongos. I don't know, it is just so silly to me. I was so surprised when this was firstly mentioned... I wasn't expecting that at all. But I find it endearing and really interesting (I still wish she could get the bongos in the game)
7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?
I love how they make her the ultimate big sister figure and show the relationships she could have with others if there was more time for it in the game! How sweet she is to Kanna and Gin. I also love seeing cute ship fanart with her and Nao! It is always a treat seeing embarassed Reko (and happy Reko)
25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?
"Oh, she looks like a mean person", was the first thing I thought. She was really harsh at the very begining and looks really intimidating, I guess, but she was also scared. She was kidnapped and woke up in a weird place with strangers. I think we can jusfify her in that regard
Now I really like her. I think she is really sweet and an amazing person. One of my moots is obsessed with her so that automatically makes me an accomplice in reko-loving (and I am not mad about that)
BETH
2. Favorite canon thing about this character?
She is a typical (well, maybe not that typical taking in consideration she is in a death game ect but yeah) grandma character and I love it about her. She is sweet but can also be strict. She is the one to stop fights, rise her voice to silence the screams, and she is the one of the most responsible people in this mismatched group. Even if she is calm and reserved the most of the time, she really has a big impact on the group and story. And she really loves her family, even if everything went the wrong way
18. How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?
I liked her interactions with most of the characters. I don't know who would I chose as a character that I admire if I'm being honest. I love the characters but not to admire them in the sense of looking up to them. But Liza and Rae are my favorites so I will consider this question with them in mind
It is funny that they are my favorites as Beth is usually the one to stop arguments between Liza and Rae
I can't really remember many interactions between Rae and Beth (not counting the fights of him with Liza), but she saved him during the game that was made for him. Summerizing, their relationshim was okay? In my opinion they all had nice relationship for strangers locked in a death game, it could be much, much worse
With Liza her relationship is really important to me. Especially after we got list from Beth and things got hinted to us about her relationship with Liza and her father. It is a shame that they won't ever be propertly introduced as family members...
25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?
"Oh wow, she's a grandma". I was surprised seing an old character like her in a game like this. I wasn't a fan of her, but if I'm being honest, I wasn't a fan of anyone really at the very beginning
In the end, I like her. She isn't on the first place of my favorites but she is really important to me. It was really sad what happend to her (before the game and during) and she really deserved better
