Some Thoughts on Saiki K(Anime)
Hopefully will look at the manga soon and watch the dub
I don’t necessarily ship Saiki with anyone but it’s definitely implied that he likes or has some type of interest in Teruhashi
Again I’ve only watch the anime so I could be wrong but I kinda wish Teru started showing a bit more of her true personality and then maybe I would like the ship more
Kinda already know Aiura probably wasn’t even a contender and just seemed plopped in kinda wish she had more screen time and was more of a rival to Teru
It’s a gag anime so I actually don’t mind the tropes for once maybe it’s because it not a serious story if that makes any sense? Don’t get me wrong Teru brother and absolute vile freak💀 maybe it’s because I don’t see him often
I hate pervert tropes but I enjoyed this anime again I think it’s because it’s a gag anime that’s why
My only lil gripe is how dark skin / black characters are shown as per usual (I’m aware that Aiura is tan and a gyaru, I am also talking about the one black character in the background, always a damn jump scare , sucks honestly)
I also think Aiura should of also came to the realization of what Saiki type is and be true to herself if she’s intended to also be his love interest
Even though it’s obvious he and Teru would be together in the end I still kinda wish for more for my girl
(Also don’t really get the Teru hate, I’m aware why but to some ends it seems a bit extreme imo, again I would like Teru x Saiki more if more of her true personality came out and didn’t always have to be so perfect at least around the gang)
(Also kinda want to head canon Aiura as blasian 🫣, again I’m aware it’s a gag manga but I kinda want a sub plot where she possibly struggles with the negativity surrounding gyaru culture and maybe darker skin. Idk I think it would be a good plot for her and Saiki to be a bit closer and a little more understanding between the two, I’m just spit balling here)
The discussion of how Black and darker skin characters are viewed and written in media is a topic for another day just wanted to share my thoughts
Any thoughts or headcanons you guys might have?
My brain needs more content lol could be about ships and why you like them too just be respectful
You can actually send some to my ask box if you want or just replies
Please help me feed my brain
Also kinda sorta want to make an oc🫣
Probably will never post it but just to give myself more content
Edit: Oooh also when Teru and Aiura swap styles
I wish that maybe Airua not jealous of how Teru looked but how she’s perceived if you know what I mean
Aiura will always acknowledge that Teru looks good no matter the style that’s a fact, but I think she would notice how different she’s treated
Like Teru is trying to copy her style but no one really treats her differently than before and that kind of sucks you know?
Styles that are usually look down upon and always get hate but then get praised when a conventionally attractive person by society norms does it and then its cool and trendy. Maybe Aiura notices and feels some type of way
Maybe I’m projecting but it happens a lot especially when it comes to black culture and it’s frustrating(yes I’m aware she isn’t black just something I noticed)
It’s been a while and I have no sense of time
I’ve seen some people liking my Saiki K posts and rn I’m suffering a bad art burnout and the stress of a temporary move, so I just want to do another quick ramble
To back track on my previous statement on how Aiura should have also came to the realization of Saik’s type is redundant because she already knows and is her authentic self already.
Though it is funny that she also tried to be more like Teru but she also enjoyed doing it a bit (This could also lead into the sub plot I talked about earlier with Aiura being depressed about how she’s perceived and Saiki in his own weird way comforting her)
This may be projecting myself on to Saiki and it’s probably the reason why I don’t ship him with anyone
But I view him more as a aroace Demi (like myself, I’m still unsure about labels but this is what best fits me)
I think it would be so funny for him to end up having a crush on someone while being a the tsundere he is with no idea how to go about it
Since it’s a gag anime that could lead to so many gags lol. Especially if that person knows of his powers, I can just imagine just teleporting away because he’s too flustered around them lmao
Maybe then he’ll truly feel like a teenager
This is also an excuse for me to make an oc (sorry I’m a little bias)
Saiki has a lot of weight on his shoulders and I think a partner who can realice some of that weight would be the best for him
(Maybe take charge for a bit)
A partner that can treat him like he’s normal
(If you want angst he probably just feels happy that he found someone who treats him normally and thinks he in love but it was just a puppy crush and wasn’t actually in love just liked the normalcy and goes back to thinking he’s incapable of love , the same can be said for Teru infatuation with Saiki)
I know a lot of people hates the fanfic tropes where the reader/oc has powers or the ability to block mind reading but I believe that’s a perfect type of person for him, the only way for a mind reading psychic to feel somewhat normal is another person who knows his burdens or aren’t affected by his abilities I would think. Again for angst it can just be puppy love if you really want that heartbreak)
Aiura and Tori still don’t really know the burdens of Saiki powers except probably towards the end of the series when they learn he’s been rewinding time)
I haven’t completely figured out what my oc is meant to be(also she kinda steals from gojos abilities because I also like the idea of curse spirits being present. Nothing too gruesome, like they exist and explain things happening like extreme bad luck with that one girl and what not)
The oc would be a foreign exchange student and will also expand Saikis knowledge of psychics. She is very spiritual, not in the religious sense but more in tune with the world around her.
She has meet many Psychics before Saiki and has a negative perception of him when they first meet
She may not have the same abilities as him, but she can help him control or dampen some of them
For example geranium cancels out his mind reading
Lead tends to block or mess up x rays I believe?
Since Saiki rarely gets sick(other than that mysterious ailment on the ship) he can completely block the effects of lead poisoning
(My friend been making me research crystals so we can also use those and test how they effect his abilities, basically looking for kryptonite lol)
I though it was pretty cute when Saiki temporarily got rid of his power he proceeded to stare at Teru
So of course he would probably stare at the oc who he can actually see for once
When she first transfers and he figures out he can’t read her mind blah blah
He follows her and she senses him and practically throws him up against a wall for it lol
She probably spews at him how she finds psychics to be a pain in the ass or something but she understands the wants of keeping his powers a secret
I know it’s cliché but is I’m a sucker for it 😭
Honestly want to make him my oc but there’s barely any changes I could do to make it different from him
I don’t have a name for my oc yet but I do have her cyborg cider man #2 hero name Goombay Punch girl lol
The oc is of West Indian decent(Bahamian and Haitian)
I have not figured out her homlife yet but she’s an insomniac
I thought about her having a step father or something (father passed a way peacefully, but I just might go with her staying with a family friend in Japan)
I’m thinking about giving her extra powers but not to the extent of Saiki
Ideas so far are shadow manipulation (I’m a sucker for it 😭💀)
Super strength (I like a girl that’s a bit stronger than the male lead 🙂↕️)
Knowing a persons darkest secrets (if I ever draw her I’ll expand on it)
Just realized I said she takes from gojos abilities but she really doesn’t other than seeing curse spirits
She does also where shades , commonly mistaken for being blind, wears them under the excuse her eyes are sensitive to light, but not really)
She is extremely tall though debating if I should make her the same height as nendo or taller
(Sub plot for insecurities with height and dating, even though she normally doesn’t care for stuff like that)
Tall girlies need love too(I say as a 5’3 bandit)
Of course she has white hair
I’m sorry it’s the only hair color I like her having
Come on a white cloud like afro is so cool
I don’t really write but I may attempt writing a fanfic(unsure if I would publish it or not I’m kinda embarrassed at the thought)
It would be cute to write a cyborg cider man side stories with all the characters lol
I probably would draw these scenario out but I would probably describe Takahashi differently
The combination of him having a fro and those lips getting picked on doesn’t sit well with me.
So I would probably change it to broccoli head or something (still kind of picking at his hair but it feels a lot better to me)
Some animation studios tend to make racist caricatures for some reason even if the maga never did that to begin with for some reason???(Still haven’t read the Saiki K manga so I don’t know if it’s applicable in this case. I hope it isn’t I would like to have something I actually like without a black caricature for once is that too much to ask 😭)
Im so sorry for the run on sentences and grammar
I would rewrite it to be more coherent but I’m lazy and sleep deprived
Thank you for reading my incoherent ramblings !
