Question: How powerful is Kusuto Saika, relatively speaking? Since he's a bootleg, I can't imagine him being on Kusuo's level by any measure, but BECAUSE he's a sort-of Kusuo, was he then supposedly the strongest in his og verse?
Also, and this is just silly, has he ever miserably attempted to steal Kusuo's friends, particularly the Psychickers?
He's like the even shittier version of Saito Kunio, lmao
kusuto saika was the only psychic in his universe, therefore the strongest. his creator did not add any other consistent characters aside from him so he never really had any real opponents lol. and he more or less has the same abilities as saiki, with the same strength level- the difference between them comes down to how they apply their powers.
saiki does NOT like to use them for fighting purposes AT ALL. he promised his mom that he would NEVER harm another person with them!!! and whenever a DOES fight come up, he opts to just teleport away at the first opportunity; kusuto saika probably frequently utilizes his super strength against other people before turning to the camera and going "Aw, jeez, that was a piece of cake! Hey, cake sounds real good right about now!" and then he cries off screen because nobody thought that was a good punchline
actually. kusuto saika's introduction is a good display of their contrasting traits .
i think if they Did fight (mutually), it would just keep going for the longest time until they either gave up or one of them died . oops
and, for the second question. Yeah . he wants to take saiki's whole life for himself, and that includes inserting himself into his friend group and acting like they've known each other for years upon first greeting. that does not work, of course, because he's a stranger, until he uses mind control COUGH COUGH
but yeah that also includes the psychickers . i think, obnoxiously, he would get along with toritsuka. maybe aiura would like that he's more forward in his advances before realizing he's just a jackass. i don't think touma would ever ever ever like him. ya
