the s62 generation is so interesting to me, it’s a shame we never really got to see in depth their dynamics. they’re found family but they make each other worse. like, they do genuinely care about each other, but because they’re so ‘violent’ and ‘brutal’ and they’re cold hearted killers, criminals, they don’t show it. and they have to keep up this image even within their little found family, because violence is what binds them together. it is the foundation of their relationship. if they’re not violent and brutal, then they’re not strong enough, not worthy to be part of the s62 generation. they’re quite literally each other’s greatest enablers, izana being the worst one out of all. pushing each other to do worse, to engage in more and more violence, forcing themselves permanently into a life of crime. (kakucho, the literal 14 year old Child, is the sole voice of reason and the entire team’s impulse control. but that’s later in tenjiku. and i’d argue he’s also izana’s enabler)
the forced distance between them due to this mental barrier is exactly why izana believed he had no one. that no one loved him and he was alone. it was only till the end that he saw kakucho as his family, someone who genuinely cared about and loved him. but he died not knowing that the s62 generation also held these feelings towards him, maybe not to the same degree and intensity as kakucho, but they certainly cared and loved him too. it’s blatantly shown through mochi, mucho and shion’s profile. but, again due to this mental barrier, they never expressed it. it was only after izana’s death that we saw proof of a genuine relationship between them. it’s why ran could only speak his true feelings about izana when he was dead. it’s why all members of the s62 generation stayed with izana’s corpse and willingly got themselves arrested. they could have ran like koko and sanzu, but they didn’t. they stayed and threw their freedom away for izana.
they never got an education, they all dropped from high school quickly. shion didn't even complete primary school
haitanis dropped it too, but they're different. they were supposed to be at college since that was what their father wanted. after running away from home, ran would always insist to rindou that he should finish high school, but he dropped it anyway so none of them have studies
ran would always think about how his life could have been if he didn't run away with his brother, even if he hated his dad, even if he wasn't suited for the student life, he would wonder. humans wonder all the time
that's why he pushed kakucho to finish high school. so, at least, one of them could have an education. kakucho would graduate thanks to a social programme for troubled kids and his friends would celebrate so hard bc that's the proof people like them can do things in society
If you had to pick one of the S62 to be your brother who would you pick?
Hellu! It's funny cuz I just checked my Tumblr to pass the time, and right on time, a message in my inbox popped up, and I was surprised lol.
Not gonna lie, I love them all, so it's hard to pick. I had to think about this for a while, but if I consider the compatibility, chemistry, personality, and values? I think Kakucho and I would get along.
Shion, Mucho, and Mocchi were the first three that popped into my head, but it ended with this-
🥇 Kakucho ★★★★★
Over everyone here, Kakucho just feels like the right pick for me. I trust him immediately, and there’s this sense of calm and safety around him that I don’t get with anyone else. Out of everyone, he just seems the most stable, like no matter what’s going on, I know he’s not going to lose his cool or make me feel uncomfortable.
I can definitely see myself enjoying his company and just being around him. I feel like we’d get along so easily, supporting each other without it ever feeling forced or overbearing. He wouldn’t push me to do things I’m not ready for, but he’d also nudge me gently when I need it.
I imagine lots of playful banter between us, little teasing moments that make us both laugh, and even quiet times where we don’t have to say anything at all but still feel connected. Because of all this, I’d feel safe and supported, and naturally, I’d follow his lead in a way that doesn’t feel like I’m giving up control, more like I just trust him.
Since he is very physically active, I'd actually enjoy going out with him or just exercising/gym, talking, going to places, and just having some fun some days, like me pulling him into other stuff. And you know how this guy loves to cook? I'M A BIG EATER, ALRIGHT? I'd be on that food before he can get a whiff of his masterpiece.
Also, he’d definitely be the first to defend me in a fight, or the first to drag me out of bed to lift my mood up, and for us to bond.
Our relationship would be the kind where I could be myself completely, flaws and all, and he’d still have my back. He’d be the kind of brother who makes life feel steady but also warm and fun, without any unnecessary pressure, like someone I know I can rely on through thick and thin.
🥈 Rindou Haitani ★★★★☆
I didn’t expect him to be here, and honestly, the second I realized he would be here, I was stuck between putting him beside Kakucho or giving him second place.
Rindou, as my brother, just sounds exciting. He’d definitely pull me out of my quiet little bubble and drag me into fun stuff I wouldn’t do on my own. He’s the kind of person who’d bring a bit of chaos into my routine, but in a good way, like taking me to a new club, making me try weird food, or just sitting around joking about random things while music plays in the background.
He’d be fun to hang around with, I think. We could bond over music, shopping, and just vibing. He’d help me loosen up and step out of my comfort zone, but still know when to give me space when I go quiet. There’s a natural balance between us, and I’m not the type to compete for attention, so I think we’d coexist pretty easily most days.
The bad side, though… his lifestyle might be overwhelming sometimes. He’s reckless and unpredictable, which could drag me into situations I’m not ready for. And he can be playfully manipulative like the kind who knows exactly how to charm or distract when he’s in trouble. If he messes up, he’ll joke or charm his way out of it instead of owning up right away. He’s also the type to forget small things like plans or promises, but not out of malice, but because he’s easily distracted.
Additionally, I think he's easily offended during playful sarcasm/banter. Nothing wrong, but it's just difficult to be playful sometimes... I think. Additionally, the fact that he can be competitive over things and sometimes struggles to accept loss, especially in areas he enjoys, can also be challenging when it comes to bonding and having fun, which could get in the way.
We’d definitely have moments of miscommunication too, like him getting weirdly quiet or sarcastic over things instead of saying what’s actually wrong. I think we’d go through small fights, or those awkward “we’re fine but not really fine” silences. But after that, he’d probably show up again like nothing happened, acting like, “yo, you still mad?” and somehow, I’d forgive him, and no matter what happens, we have each other in the end of the day.
Now that I read it a second time, it reminds me of a relationship I have with someone. Wow, this is making me think- no wonder he's in second place.
🥈 Mochizuki Kanji ★★★★☆
I LOVE THIS GUY. WHY DO I SEE SO LITTLE OF HIM, SHION, AND MUCHO IN FICS?-
Anyways, he is in third place(YAY!). He's like a good balance between Rindou and Kakucho for me.
Mocchi honestly feels like that big brother who’s half fun, half headache, but in a way that grows on me. He’s the type who’s always laughing, talking with his mouth full, or telling some ridiculous story that somehow ends with him in a fight or food challenge. He’s loud, goofy, and eats like every meal is his last, but there’s this grounded, big-hearted side under it all that makes him really easy to be around. You can tell he’s rough around the edges, but there’s a warmth in him that slips out in quiet moments.
Our interactions are a lot of casual hangouts like food trips, arcade nights, random dares, and laughing over the dumbest things. He’d probably pick on me just to see me roll my eyes. I can imagine us hanging out at food stalls late at night, talking about nonsense that turns into something real halfway through. I think he is simple in a comforting way, like no games, no judgment, but just him being loud and genuine. I feel like we'd argue playfully but get along well.
I'd actually feel safe with him, like even if the world’s falling apart, Mocchi would still have my back with that “you’ll be fine, trust me” grin. I feel like we'd get along really well and have fun in our time.
But yeah, I think the downside is that sometimes he’d be too much. He’s stubborn and has this “it’ll be fine” attitude that could drive me insane when I just want quiet or time alone. He’s also the type to push me into dumb challenges “for fun,” like, “Come on, it’ll be funny!” and somehow I’d end up in trouble because of it.
Still, I think the bond would be really strong. He’d never let me walk home alone, always make sure I eat, and if I’m ever down, he’d drag me somewhere to cheer me up (even if his idea of cheering me up is a 2 a.m. ramen run). He’d get on my nerves sometimes, sure, but he’s the kind of brother I’d always forgive because deep down, I know he really cares, just not always in words, more in action.
Yasuhiro Muto ★★★★☆
Honestly, Mucho gives me “quiet protector” energy. He's probably the kind of brother who doesn’t say much but always notices everything. He’s disciplined, organized, and calm most of the time, and there’s this weird comfort in his silence. Like, even if he’s intimidating at first, once I get used to him, his presence feels alright. I think he is dependable and mature.
For me, He's more nagging about rules or safety and other stuff that comes from care rather than control. He’s the type who’d check on me in subtle ways, like leaving food on my desk, asking indirect questions like “You’ve been sleeping?” instead of actually saying “Are you okay?”. And he’d probably give advice that actually works. I feel like I could go to him when I’ve messed up, and even if he scolds me a bit, he’d still help me fix things quietly. I like the thought of that, it's just chill.
And I imagine our day-to-day would be chill with coffee in the morning, small conversations about random stuff, and he wouldn’t push me to talk when I don’t feel like it, which I’d really appreciate. And he’d probably teach me things, too, like strategy, how to read people, maybe even play shogi with me (and win every time, annoyingly). I’d respect him naturally because of how composed he is, which matches how I am on most days.
Maybe the bad side is that his strictness might make me feel frustrated, small, or pressured sometimes, and might make me withdraw. And I imagine that his cold, disappointed silence could REALLY HURT more than anything.
Still, I think it's kinda balanced. I would remind him it’s okay to loosen up sometimes, while he’d help me build more structure and confidence. We’d have a calm sibling bond built on mutual respect and quiet understanding. I think we'd enjoy each other's company and talk about stuff and ground each other.
This one also made me think if he and Mochhi should swap places or tie.
Ran Haitani ★★★☆☆
First reaction? Pull his braids out. I’m sorry(not really).
Can he really be my brother?
Ran gives me that stylish, confident-ass energy that’s infuriating but also kind of impressive. I think part of me respects it, even if it pisses me off. It’s a love-hate thing, and something is thrilling about his presence, unpredictable and exciting, but also exhausting. I'll never really know what he’ll do next, and that’s part of the problem.
He’s annoying in the best and worst ways. Endless teasing, unsolicited fashion advice, dragging me to or inviting me to places without any explanation, and I would hate that, but somehow I let it slide.
Our dynamic would be a constant mix of playful banter, mock competitions, arguing over style choices, and teasing. But there’d also be rare chill moments like salons, shopping, window shopping, grabbing food, just talking whatever, and little times where it feels almost normal.
He’d constantly pull me out of my comfort zone, which can be exciting but also overwhelming. He has this intensity that could make me feel small sometimes, especially when he’s in a bad mood. I feel like he can be cold, scary, and intimidating, and I think home life with him could get heavy. I can imagine retreating to my room a lot just to escape his energy.
Despite all that, he’d recognize that I don’t compete for attention and that I’m okay doing my own thing. And I think he’d respect that, even if he doesn’t show it outright. There’d be disagreements, fights, arguments, and intense banter most days, but it wouldn’t be mean-spirited. Just playful, the kind that leaves me exhausted but laughing.
The good side of us being siblings is that there would be constant teasing and playful sarcasm, and it would rarely be boring. He’d expose me to new experiences and adventures I wouldn’t try on my own, while also being subtly protective underneath all thet drama. Life with him would feel exciting, unpredictable, and full of energy, which would keep me from getting too stuck in my quiet little bubble.
The bad side is that his energy could be overwhelming and intense, and he might make me feel smaller or insecure than I already feel. He can be cold, scary, or intimidating during bad moods, and sometimes, home life might feel heavy just because of his presence. Constant disagreements, fights, and arguments could get exhausting, and I’d probably spend a lot of time retreating to my room just to get some space. He probably won't like me.
Shion Madarame ★★★☆☆
Shion gives off that cocky confidence, like the kind of guy who talks big, laughs loud, and always acts like he’s got everything under control. He’s funny in this sloppy, oblivious way where sometimes I can’t even tell if he’s serious or just messing around, which makes him both entertaining and mildly frustrating.
He’d probably tease me nonstop, calling me out for being too quiet or too serious, but I know he’d look out for me in his own roundabout way. Definitely the type to say, “Come on, don’t be so uptight,” while dragging me into something dumb but weirdly fun.
I'd imagine our relationship would be full of playful bickering, small pranks, and inside jokes where we annoy each other just to get a reaction. There’d be arguments, laughter, and moments where I’m just staring at him like, “How are you even alive after doing that?” I’d also find him funny and exhausting all at once. I’d roll my eyes a lot, but secretly? I’d love whatever he brings in life. Even if he gets on my nerves, I’d probably miss him when he’s not around.
The good side of having Shion as my brother is that he’d constantly challenge me, push me out of my comfort zone, and make life way more exciting. He’s loyal in his own way, even if he doesn’t say it out loud. His carefree, reckless attitude would help me loosen up, and I think I’d learn to be a little more daring and spontaneous because of him.
The bad side is that he can be unpredictable and oblivious, which gets frustrating fast. He might not always notice when I need space or when his teasing actually stings. His cockiness could make me feel underestimated sometimes, and I’d probably get tired of cleaning up after his messes. There’d be days when his energy just drains me, and I’d end up hiding in my room or distancing myself from him until he finally shuts up.
Izana Kurokawa ★★☆☆☆
If Izana were my brother, he’d definitely be bossy and controlling, but not in a mean way, but more like he’s scared of losing people he cares about.
He’d definitely call me out on everything, correct me constantly, and probably tease me for being soft or too careful. I’d get a lot of lectures, which could get annoying, and yeah, we’d probably fight sometimes. I’d have to learn to read his moods because one minute he’s fine, the next… not so much.
He’s also the type to ruffle my hair when I do something right and then roast my haircut two seconds later. like, thanks?
Being with him would make me nervous sometimes, but I’d also feel safe. He’s reliable because if something goes wrong, he’s there. We’d have this weird understanding: comfortable in silence, okay with moods, no need to explain ourselves all the time. Just his presence would be enough. I’d be loyal to him for sure.
The bad side is: he can be emotionally unpredictable. His bossy, “do it my way” attitude might feel suffocating, and sometimes, instead of sorting things out, stuff would simmer until he snaps, leaving me quiet instead of saying anything back. I might end up going along with his rhythm, too much like hiding my frustration just to avoid conflict. It wouldn’t really be manipulation, but just two guarded people trying to figure out how to care for each other.
If we were together, I feel like nothing will change much, especially in a bad timeline. We might get worse together instead of helping each other out. It's like we're pushing ourselves deeper down.
I feel like I might become like him or just turn bad if it ended in a bad timeline.
These aren't ranked based on my favorites but more on relationship and compatibility, so I had to think about it for a bit. This was a fun one to think about. :D
