I know the whole joke with Nendou is that “oh Saiki can’t hear his thoughts because he doesn’t think hehehaha” but like. What if his way of thinking was just incompatible with Saiki’s powers. It’s rare, but some people don’t have an internal monologue running. My dad for example thinks in abstract concepts; hard for him to explain, but from what I can understand when he tries is that his brain is like a filing cabinet, and when he needs to recall a memory he sorts through it until he gets it right, and thinking is more so seeing the thoughts (e.g. he thinks of our dog, he’d see our dog in like, his brain).

What if that was Nendou? What if Saiki couldn’t hear his thoughts because there’s nothing to hear, but in the way you wouldn’t expect?

What if Saiki met someone else with this sort of brain in the future?

saiki would thrive in mp100 and by thrive i mean he’d have 100 mental breakdowns trying to fix everyone’s issues and then reigen would have to sit him down for a Mental Health Chat/intervention.

when thinking about saiki i feel like. something that is very important to me is not only examining how he is different from his friends, but also how he is the same...

obviously saiki has a lot of things that set him apart and make him ‘special’, to the point that he considers himself fundamentally different from other people and thinks he might as well be a different species entirely.

but i feel like its even more important because of that to emphasize how he is in many ways the same. he still wants friendship, connection, and meaningful relationships -- no matter how much he might deny it -- and his desire to have a ‘normal life’ is an extension of that, even if he doesn’t see it. his immense power is what alienates him from others; his care for others, flaws, and desires are what bring him back down to the ground.

the beginning of the series has saiki so convinced that there’s no way that he could have meaningful friends because they’re “too different” but by the end of the series he values them enough that he wants to reveal the full extent of his difference...

so that’s all to say that emphasizing saikis incredibly human aspects is quite important to me. he says he is fundamentally different from others but i suppose i always want to prove that that isn’t true, and that he’s just as human and just as capable of loving & being loved as the rest of us. 

anyways look at this

I wonder if the reason Saiki can’t hear Nendou’s thoughts is because Nendou has germanium somewhere on his body. Like a piercing or something. I also wonder if there’s germanium in Saiki’s limiters, and Kuusuke’s telepathy blocker.

I wonder if Saiki would be disappointed or relieved if it WAS germanium blocking Nendou’s thoughts.

Germanium has me curious.

whoever decided to animate baby saiki as looking carefree and happy before his brother called him a monster owes me 100k for therapy bills.
