Naomichi Kurumada (for the character meme)
i really am the CEO of kurumada akfsnf
favorite thing about them: His hair! it’s rlly fun to draw despite it being time-consuming. I also love his little animations in chapter 3! they’re so much fun.
least favorite thing about them: Defo how mean he is to kanna! >:( I’m writing a fic specifically to fix that tbh but in my JP run with a translator little missy translated to b*tch and i went :| :O >:O so thank fuck that was wrong
favorite line: Either the one about him bragging about his boxing or his victim video where he just swears his heart out at asunaro as that’s iconic go off!!!!
brOTP: Alice and Kurumada tbh they have the same kinda vibes! i also like to imagine them being hair dye buddies. Also him and Kanna tbh! I read a fic where he couldn’t bring himself to hurt a child even though he could easily and that made me go WAAAAAAAA and I’d love to explore that dynamic for myself.
OTP: Kurusaka (Kurumada and Hayasaka) because the dynamic of a buff af boxer and an office worker is really appealing! granted in-game their relationship is more rocky - if Gin hadn’t woken up then Hayasaka would’ve gotten beaten the tf up ngl - but someone on Instagram (cherrie.pop.rock._) had an au where they’re married and adopt Gin and it was just adorable af tbh!!!!
nOTP: Apparently some people ship him with Shin and that’s just uhhhhhhhh. There was also a fic on ao3 shipping him with Sara and that’s just so gross >:(
random headcanon: He was somewhat of a small-town celebrity with his boxing! It might be canon due to that one line but I like to think that he thinks he’s more popular than he actually is.
unpopular opinion: Idk if this is unpopular but I feel like he’s going to pull something in Ch 3-1b because it’s only him, Ranmaru and Hinako that at bare minimum survive so someone’s going to do something. I also saw a theory that Ranmaru and Hinako are human and didn’t die so y’know I’m a bit scared for what’s gonna happen. I’m also like really hung up on how he has the second-highest chance of winning the death game but died in the first trial because how did he do in the other simulations to get that? That’s also why I think somethings gonna happen with him because its a bit suspicious. Only explanation rn is that otherwise, we wouldn’t have had that struggle with “Sara Chidouin - Murderer” because then the story would have more cracks than just Q-Taro’s not lining up.
song i associate with them: Lights Out - Mindless Self Indulgence (1) it slaps and its got good energy and 2) i also associate it with hajime sdra2 cus it has boxing vibes tbh)
favorite picture of them:
it made me lose my shit when i first got it ingame and i still love it tbh its just so chaotic
