One random day, on a bridge in Mac Anu, a popular meme was re-enacted.

For Those of you unaware, the original .hack//(pronounced "dot hack") games by CyberConnect2, starred the character Kite, a new player to the in-universe MMORPG "The World". There have been many iterations of The World in the .hack// franchise, and also as many character expies of Kite. So much so they made their own visual guide to tell you who's who.

So, I decided to take 5 'Kites' from the franchise and recreate the Spider-Man pointing meme.

From top left to bottom middle, we have:

Kite, protagonist of the original .hack// games(Infection, Mutation, Outbreak and Quarantine, "IMOQ" for short)

Shugo, the protagonist of the anime and manga .hack//Legend of the Twilight

Sakuya, the lead character in the anime OVA .hack//Quantum

Sora/Kite, aka Sora Yuuki, the protagonist of the Feature film .hack//The Movie: Beyond the World, and guest character in the PSP game .hack//Link.

"Tri-Edge"/Azure Kite, the initial antagonist of .hack//G.U.

What I never understood about Nagihiko's whole backstory and character is why his family has to be a nihonbuyo academy for girls which does in fact have male and female dancers and are open to everyone instead of making the obvious choice of making the Fujisaki clan a kabuki (more specifically an Onnagata/Oyama exclusive) academy. (They even call the dancing style on the anime Onnagata no Buyo which is even more?? Just make them Onnagatas //sob)

It fixes the whole 'I had to crossdress because its only for girls' plot hole because Onnagata are specifically male dancers that have to crossdress and learn femenine mannerisms to perform, plus, thanks to the prohibition of female Kabuki dancers in the Sakoku era, it makes sense that even if Nagihiko had a younger sister, he'd still have to cross dress.

PLUS PLUS HEAR ME OUT

In his performance for that one episode in which he debuts as Nagihiko for the first time + when we see him perform in Party! (Ep 7) he is PERFORMING FUJI MUSUME AKA ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS ONNAGATA PIECES IN KABUKI HISTORY

The reason why Nadeshiko is wearing different clothes in this performance btw is because the Fuji Musume piece's most famous feature is the quick change of costumes that is done throughout the dance.

Also if you don't believe me, the Poster Amu sees has Fuji Musme (藤娘) as the featured dance!

ALSO UH FUN FACT but Fuji Musume is the story of a young girl who becomes 'drunken with love' and it's meant to represent the purity and innocence of her love UGH and I wonderif that represents Nagihiko/Nadeshiko's love for Amu and UGH I love this character sm

Anyways if you're not into my ocs just skip this part but UH

I guess this is a ripe time to remind y'all that Yuu in my ocverse is actually cousins with Nagihiko AND i have changed their family from a matriarcal nihonbuyo school to a patriarcal kabukibuyo school because it makes more sense mwah. Nagi's mom is still a dancer and met his father through dance since kabuki and dance generally are very closely linked so I wouldnt put it past the Fujisaki household to have their kids go to only-girls nihonbuyo classes to nail in that ~femenine vibe~ they aparently want in Nagihiko's backstory.
