It takes a village to raise a child, so how many followers will it take to round up five rowdy kids that have no intention of getting caught? Well, only one way to find out… Hopefully no ankles got broken during the process.
One thing ONE likes to write is sibling relationships and I noticed this is a theme in Versus as well. (And as firstborn child I do support this wholeheartedly.)
Hallow & Zaybi
The series starts with first chapter introducing the brothers; Hallow and Zaybi.
Chapter 1: Zaybi and Hallow as children.
They were so cute as kids. And we are told how Zaybi is the brains while Hallow is the muscles in this dynamic. This would later reflect on the fact that Hallow became a hero and Zaybi is a mage.
Chapter 1: Hallow sees Zaybi.
Chapter 1: You can really see how it hurts Zaybi to see his little brother hurting, and he tries to comfort him.
Throughout the current 16 chapters it became clear that they support each other in their own way, and look up to each other. Although, Zaybi being the older one seems to have raised his kid brother by himself, threatening to even spank his ass if or when he does something reckless (which means exactly that he must have been the parent in that family in their lives - and Hallow's occasional way of begging Zaybi to include him/give him permission to join in certain missions indicates this as well). Makes me wonder what happened to their parents in the first place.
Chapter 2: Hallow thinks of his brother and how amazing he is.
Chapter 3: Hallow begs that he could come with Zaybi and Keila and her team.
Chapter 6: Hallow again asks to be let on the team who redirects the Titans towards Neo-Humans.
Chapter 3: Zaybi threatens to spank his little brother for acting reckless.
Chapter 4: Hallow seeking help from his older brother.
Poor Hallow really got everyone arguing about his plan, and needs Zaybi to help him. Which he does, albeit in his own way. (To prove a point to everyone.)
Chapter 4: Keila's thoughts. This seems to put the brothers in important role of the story.
Chapter 5: Hallow coming to Zaybi's aid.
You can tell how protective Hallow is also about his older brother.
Chapter 5: Zaybi refuses to put more responsibility on Hallow's shoulders.
Chapter 16: Zaybi seems to have hard time making a decision, and thinks about what Hallow would do.
I find this part kind of sad. There is something that tells how the brothers need each others' support. Zaybi doesn't seem to be able to act without some kind of plan, and Hallow acts without a plan. Although, in this case it was good Hallow wasn't there since its more of a risk with the parasites..
Chapter 16: Even while thinking he will die, Zaybi wants Hallow to survive and live.
Masayoshi & Mika
The latest chapter (16) revealed another sibling pair, Mika and Masayoshi. Mika seems to have this similar spirit that Zenko has in OPM, but their older brothers seem to be very different haha.
Other possible siblings or other family members
Honestly, Samone and Pakkya look so similar to each other. I wonder are they actually some kind of relatives..
Chapter 14: Samone wanting to wait for Pakkya, but he wants her to leave him behind so she can leave the dangerous place.
Monthly Shonen Sirius #229: Pakkya and Samone's official colors. Both even have a red hair with green (Pakkya) and yellow (Samone). Their eye colors seem to match also. And they both have sharp teeth. Although, their skin color isn't exactly same, but they could be blood relatives. Who knows. At least they aren't introduced as siblings or anything like that. So, maybe it is that all their people share these similarities?
And there is also Thear and that unnamed woman he has with him, who both also share same hair colors and their uniforms also sharing same colors makes them look more like siblings than anything. Their hair in general looks really special and I would like to think they are somehow related by blood, unless all their people share blue hair genes in their world. Their skin color seems to also match.

With what I have planned for my “Overwhelmed” comic I needed to design some followers! Granted I need to design quite a few more!!! However, here is what we have so far qvq)b Some might be familiar face while others not so much lol
I might make mini refs for all of them, we’ll see.
