a shark apologist in several fandoms

But when fans click on the video, they discover that "Takedown" has been rewritten to be a collab song between Huntrix and Saja, and it's a tongue-in-cheek mutual "diss" track that plays up the rivalry they used to have in a very teasing, unserious way. A good chunk of the lyrics are Rujinu flirting via banter. Every time Baby goes into a rap verse Zoey cuts him off and goes twice as fast. There's a moment where Abby lifts up something heavy over his head and then Mira immediately does the same thing except she's doing it one-handed. There's another moment where Zoey and Romance are back-to-back scribbling lyrics into notebooks and pushing each other out of frame, both of them with shit-eating grins on their faces. Mira and Mystery steal each other's glasses, try them on, wince, and toss them back to each other due to their prescriptions being wildly different. There is a running gag where there is one singular microphone, and the members of the two bands routinely steal it from whoever's singing.

And once the song's all over and everyone's pointing weapons/demon claws at each other, you hear Bobby's voice yell "CUT!" and thus begins an end-credits scene where everyone's cheering over the music video being wrapped, there's a lot of hugs and praise being thrown around, Baby pops a bottle of champagne and sprays it all over Romance, Abby and Mira do a secret handshake, Zoey and Mystery gush over how they absolutely have to write more songs together, and Jinu dips Rumi into a celebratory kiss. There are also more kisses shared between all three members of Huntrix.

And the music video ends with a message that says: Thanks to the members of Saja for doing this with us, we love you idiots <3

EDIT: Also, I've got a lyric snippet for this one:

Rumi: When I look at your face, I feel like I could sin / But then you open your mouth, and I'm like, "who let this guy in?"

Jinu: When your patterns start to show, it drives you crazy / 'cause you know I got you made

Huntrix: I don't think you're ready for the takedown! / Better line up now and get your heads in the game / Unless you're too ashamed

Saja: Oh, it's a takedown! / It's funny how you all think you can mess with us / Yeah, it's ridiculous

It's true. I think... Gwi-Ma goes about his abuse in a fairly casual, conversational way, whether it's physical or emotional or whatever--he always acts like it's a natural fact of life because he wants his demons to believe it's a natural fact of life. By just constantly throwing in little barbs like the ones you mentioned, Gwi-Ma sets the tone for the dynamic between the two of them. Just like a constant drip, drip, drip of undercutting whatever Jinu's done to wear him down.

Also, I’m not crazy in saying that Gwi-Ma could also be called physically abusive, right?

I mean, it's hard to say given how emotional and psychological abuse are often used interchangably and have a fair amount of overlap and stuff, but overall, I would say that Gwi-Ma uses more emotional abuse than psychological abuse? At least based on what we're able to see in the movie.

It's a widely debated point, but generally, most people seem to agree that the difference between emotional and psychological abuse is that emotional abuse targets your feelings (aiming to make you feel a certain way), while psychological abuse targets your mind (aiming to warp your logic and reasoning). ...Which, you can see why they're often used interchangeably. If you're being psychologically abused, there will be an emotional element (as in, you will be distressed) and if you're being emotionally abused, there will be a psychological element (because emotions happen in the mind, and given the way our society talks about/views emotions, consistently manipulating someone into strong negative emotions is almost definitely going to make them doubt the strength of their own mental reasoning and logic).

...But anyway, I'd say more emotional than psychological because Gwi-Ma's main aim is to make people feel shame. Like Jinu says, making demons feel ashamed is how he controls them. That, to me, seems to fall a lot more under emotional abuse than psychological abuse.

No, I don't think you're crazy for saying Gwi-Ma is physically abusive. It might not be in the "traditional" or more well-known sense, but the amount of ownership that Gwi-Ma claims (and freely exercises) on his demons' bodies reads to me as a very physical type of abuse. He pulls them around, tells them he owns their soul, and physically tortures them if they step out of line (given the implication that Gwi-Ma physically hurt Jinu during that torture sequence--it feels to me like we can fairly confidently say that Jinu was being physically hurt then, given the audial and visual cues that scene gives to us, like the knife tshing sound paired with Jinu flinching and tensing up as Gwi-Ma enters his mind).

“Enough!”

The familiar voice, usually silky smooth, is sharp and full of authority. Every demon that hasn’t been turned into ash on the wind stops where they stand. They all look up, expectant, panting, confused, and Rumi follows their gaze to the dark-dressed figure crouched on the sagging limb of a riverside tree: Romance Saja, with one hand steadied against bark and the other hanging too casually over his knee. He tilts his chin up, earrings dancing beside his sharp cheekbones, smiling at the hunters standing tall in the middle of the confused crowd. Abby Saja leans on the base of the tree with his arms folded over his firm chest. The hanbok he wears his just as raggedy as the one Rumi had seen Jinu in, time and time again.

As Baby wipes his bloodied hand on the dead demon’s back and rises up, Mystery moves to join him, modern jewelry in conflict with the antiquity of his robes.

The Saja Boys. Covered in Gwi-Ma’s barbed purple patterns, eyes glowing fiercely like a Golden Honmoon, skin the color of a frozen death — they’re nothing like the bubblegum pop pastels that once taunted them so openly.

“You idiots,” Romance says, voice lilting. “Are you really trying to kill our only hope of survival?”

Abby leans an arm on Jinu’s shoulder whilst flexing. Baby also leans on Jinu, his arms crossed and face partially hidden, to add to that cuteness factor

They switch positions, but Abby doesn’t break contact with Jinu, fully draping his arm around him. Baby holds onto Jinu’s arm with both arms, cuddling it. Abby’s touch lingers on Jinu as they spin into their next positions

In their farewell, Baby leans on Mystery’s shoulder, while Abby leans on Romance's shoulder

During the game show, Baby places a hand on Romance's shoulder

PLAY GAMES WITH UUUUUSSS! Ahem, sorry. Mystery leans an arm on Romance. The boys' positioning will be repeated in the bathhouse scene later

Abby giving Baby a piggyback is so damn cute, and it's for literally no reason. Pretty much every other interaction between the boys seen thus far has been in front of fans and, therefore, potentially staged. What fan is going to see them running off set like that? You cannot convince me they're not goofy goobers

In the bathhouse, the boys are posed ready. Abby is once again leaning an arm on Jinu, while Mystery leans on Romance

When Jinu kneels down, Abby slides his arm off and poses similarly to how he did during the game show. Mystery remains leaning on Romance, but their positioning shifts slightly. I'm not counting this as a separate interaction, but I wanted to mention it nonetheless

During the idol award show, Abby has an arm wrapped around Baby's shoulders. Kinda thought Romance might have his hand on Jinu's shoulder, but I don't think he does

On an advertisement board, Baby leans on Jinu, while Abby has his arm wrapped around Mystery

During their fan club announcement, both Abby and Baby lean on Jinu. Baby also has his arm wrapped around Romance

Post Huntr/x breakup, while the boys are expressing false sympathy, Baby has a hand on Romance's shoulder. This action matches what was seen during the game show

Before the boys run off into battle, Abby places a hand on Jinu's shoulder, dragging it down his chest before taking off running

As Mystery runs to follow the others, he shoulder-checks Jinu. Hardly an affectionate act, but it counts as physical touch

I made a stats chart of who touches who, but I kinda don't want to make people look at maths if they just wanna look at the boys

Bonus Round!! For Zoeystery and Miromabby

Baby bonus, because he's the only one aside from Jinu who puts hands on Huntr/x
