hc + family? (sorry omg)
MALEFACTOR. FUCK YES FINALLY THE OPPORTUNITY TO WRITE MORE ABOUT THE SHARK FAMILY -
Family: Samekichi is really the only family that Sal has, yet to say that he acknowledges his brother as such would be untruthful. In reality, he sees Samekichi as weak, pathetic, nothing more than a fragment of himself, the little piece of “good” that he does not have, nor want. Even as children they fought a lot, until the conflict eventually came to a head - and the two parted for some time, with Sal finally recognizing what he was supposed to be. The next time the two spoke was during his incredibly rude intrusion into the Sacred Sword’s hiding place (and his “plans” with Wadanohara). Sal is not aware of who his father is - as far as he knows, Old is just some ancient shark who has some quarrel with the Great Sorcerer - nor did he ever know his mother. Both he and Samekichi grew up without parents - which was completely fine for them. Neither of them are particularly spiteful for the lack of guidance - in fact, Sal is rather grateful that there was no way to restrain him or persuade him from his path.
