Okay little idea I have in my head when I see your post about Abang Kasim and Pirates dude. I never notice that they work together now. Not only that they we're close to stand side by side! Even Fang can bring himself to stand by his brother side as his brother so cold toward everyone and basicly push everyone aside.
But that pirates dude?? Get to be at Kaizo/Kasim side?? Wow. I guess the disguise do help Kaizo being little lose and actually bond with pirates dude since the pirates dude really is frienly. The angst idea tho...
Like all the pirates dude now work for Tapops. But here the thing we never actually why they work for Tapops. They could be 'force' to work as prisoner of Tapops as way to pay back all their crime. Because yes they we're criminal too and they actually enjoy being criminal.
The pirates dude and Kaizo come long way after the betray arc. Kaizo could be the one in charge to take care of all the prisoners in Kaizo section. Kaize and the pirates dude didnt get along at first. The pirates dude keep rebeling against Kaizo and try to run away with his buddy multiple time. Still hurt and betray by 'Kasim'.
Imagine that the pirates dude keep calling Kaizo 'Kasim' as nick name. It's to annoyed Kaizo actually. But again each time Pirates dude call Kaizo "Kasim" the more he feel hurt. He use it like curse. He thought he made a friend and allies. Only for Kaizo to stab him as his friends back? The fuvk. Pirates dude really hate Kasim.
Kaizo actually feel bad to all the pirate people. He spend so much time as Kasim to know about them. It's for mission to understand the enemy. But he know more about them in many way. And Kaizo notice that they actually not that bad unlike their boss.
They can be nice. Genuenly care for each other and have feeling.But again they still a criminal that do staff they isn't suppose to do. They never really question everything as long as they have fun and get pay for it. That the life those criminal choose.
When Kaizo first starting the mission that Pirates dude is actually the first Pirates that being 'friend' with him. He really is frienly and Kaizo have to admit it's tiring to be someone else. But Kaizo do find the Pirates dude is easy to be with. Maybe it's personality of the pirates. And fact Kaizo actually smiles when Pirate dude is around telling something that Kaizo dont understand. He actually happy to be friends with the Pirate Dude
Kaizo atleast own little apologies to Pirates dude for lying and betray their so call friendship. And that all Pirates dude want to hear..
Pirates dude: So Kasim-
Kaizo: Kaizo. My real name is Kaizo...
Pirates dude: Kaizo...
Kaizo: What's your name actually?
Pirates Dude: Oh...I dont have a name.
I know right!? That's what I'm saying too!! You are saying EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT.
I might write them a fanfic soon actually, this is VERY similar to what I had in mind!
Like- everything you said? It was like you read my mind!!
And In the comic, kaizo and Pirate dude are all fun and cheery one sec and kaizo goes all serious the next sec when he's with the other pirates in the next panel, where our pirate isnt! Its like as soon as pirate guy is a certain distance away, he takes kaizo's happiness with him-
So after the armada join TAPOS, kaizo still "acts" like 'Kassim' as in 'quirky fun space carwash guy' but only with this ONE specific pirate, and they still have the matching bandanas!
I also noticed parallels b/w Kassim and Fang in this, because fang's og name was 'Pang', but it wasnt truly himself, but when he used a fake name- "fang" and went in a disguise with ulterior motives, just like kaizo does as "kassim", he makes friends and becomes Fang, Pang is a shell of who he was- troubled and sad and serious- instead of being the child he is, but after he made friends and became Fang, he's more "himself", so much so that even his own brother, who knows what his og name is and has been calling him that since he was born, starts to call him Fang, because thats who he is now, the real him. Free, childish, happy. And most of all, having fun Living life instead of just surviving and fighting!
Same goes for Kaizo as kassim! He uses fake name, goes in with a disguise and ulterior motive, but makes a friend and acts more fun and happy when he's with that one friend- pirate guy! I feel like Pirate guy is the only one Kaizo|Kassim feels he could be himself around, he lets his gaurd down and acts a little silly, just like Fang with Boboiboy and everyone else! He's uptight around even his little brother, but trusts pirate guy and lets loose around him, like he's at ease. Like he's Happy.
Anyways yeah- sorry for the rant- its just that you get it! I'm not crazy! Its there for anyone to see!
