Mucho thoughts

Izana & Kakucho encountered Mucho in the orphanage, (her mother kinda dissappeared for too long and CPS got involved), then Ran on the streets (because parents responsibility? we don't know her in TR) when the three snuck out. Izana thought they were temporary goons since Mucho got picked up by her mother, who probably was gonna run off again, and Ran moved due to her father's work transfer.

They met again in juveniles detention, encountering the rest of S62.

The girls in general don't react well to older figures. So it is weird for Ran and Mucho that Izana had that "hopeful phase" for family, talking about having an older sibling. But again since Izana is the ring leader, they never questioned her because they probably be beat up and they want her happy. Though it got more conflicting for them when Izana managed to be fostered by the Sanos, leaving it to Mucho to check on Kakucho regularly and Ran focusing on Rindou.

They definitely, 100%, no doubt about it, jumped and robbed people together. The designer purse Ran has? Stolen, (even if she could buy it). The leather jacket? Stolen from a biker. Crashed a car? Probably that too. The "you tried to solicit a minor" blackmail, especially how Mucho can easily pass as an adult? Probably put enough fire on Shinichiro's ass to get Izana and them actual mental help.

Izana notes the more family stuff she talks about, Ran and Mucho don't comment much besides praising her, so she eventually focuses on other aspects like delinquency. She is aware Mucho lives technically by herself and Ran seeks attention or thrills for growing up very apathetic in her home. That awkwardness is gone when they are much older and have their shit somewhat together.

Izana doesn't have a sweet tooth but still tags along when Ran and Mucho are on the hunt for sweet pastries. She later brings strawberry cake for mini Kakucho.

Both Izana and Mucho suck in smiling for photos because they look evil in them. Ran hates that whenever she tries to take pics, or when doing Purikura, so she is always fighting for her life with her camera when she sees a natural smile.

Izana often ditches her babysitting duties onto Ran and Mucho to spend time with Kakucho.

Ran stopped coming by after being called “forehead” by the children. Before that she only wanted to handle the “well behaved one” (Emma).

Mucho is now handling five kids, the Sanos, Baji, and the Akashis like a champ. The babysitting money she manages to squeeze out of Shinichiro and Takeomi is usually spent on taking Kakucho for ice cream.

Whenever Ran wears heels, there is 100% guarantee at max one hour, she wants to be carried and that's somehow Mucho’s responsibility. Izana sees it as weak to be carried due to heels and hides her blisters with tape.

Izana refused any visits from them when she finally stayed with the Sanos because she realised she hyped up Shinichiro too much when she was much younger, and now trying to avoid revealing he is a “loser”. Teenager behaviour.

Ran is only disappointed that he isn't some “hot dude” when seeing him. Mucho remained hostile until she noted how the kids behave around him. Now all he gets is silent emotional blackmail from her, whenever he thinks he can sit down. And Izana isn't helping.

The three never went to the same school. But they somehow managed to hang out in the same spots regardless. Mucho is the quickest in finding them, then Ran and Izana doesn't have to, because they flock to her, but she will if they aren't quick enough.

First target is Nahoya and Sanzu is invited into his home. Sanzu criticises his room is messy and wonders why Nahoya still in uniform at home. Nahoya explains he just came back to eat ramen and to cut to the chase, since Sanzu probably isn’t here to hang out, if ever. Sanzu simply asks him, "are you the traitor in Toman? What about that time you keep giving free Ramen to the Toman guys? I always find that suspicious. Like you are trying to lure them. 'Oh you get free Ramen refills, if you join the TRAITORS!"

Nahoya pretty much shoots back "Dude I just like Ramen. Are you crazy? And you got no evidence, I am doing that with bad intentions!"

So Sanzu asks about the rumours and Nahoya doesn't know much about it, aside from hearing about it. Sanzu is pissed he wasted his time.

Mucho comes by after and asks Nahoya if he had seen Sanzu. Nahoya says to watch Sanzu closely because he is acting too passionate about the situation. Before Mucho is about to leave, Nahoya asks him to stick around since he is cooking Ramen and he should eat it. It's pretty much a spicy challenge and Mucho pretends he isn't affected by it (he is very) and calls it delicious.

Sanzu goes searching for suspicious activities on the train station, telling Mucho over the phone where he is checking. He spots Mitsuya from afar, handing a bag to a person and therefore deems it as suspicious, even if he is a founding member. The bag exchange is intervened and Sanzu demands what the content of it is. Again accusing someone of being a traitor with no cause or evidence.

Mitsuya is annoyed about his noisy behaviour and simply asks him to look in the bag himself. Inside there is a uniform and Mitsuya was asked to fix a button. Sanzu is pissed in not having found anything.

Mucho looks around for Sanzu because that's where he mentioned he was before and spots Mitsuya and asks if he had coincidentally encountered Sanzu. Mitsuya admitted he did and looks displeased as shit. Mucho considers trying to track down Sanzu faster because he is causing too much of a mess.

Sanzu investigates the alleyways where most Toman members hang out. He finds one and drills him with questions. Because the dude reacted nervous due to being scrutinised, Sanzu, AGAIN, jumps to, well he looks nervous, so that's a traitor possibly. The member tries to claim his innocent, and again Sanzu’s logic, well he talks too much, so he must be a traitor.

Sanzu basically is pissed off to the nines and pretty much laid out that if he doesn't give him something useful, he will torture him.

The Toman member finally admits Pah-chin may know more about the meeting rumours since he talked about it like he knew something. But he doesn't know anything himself.

Sanzu finally leaves after commenting to not be so difficult.

Mucho checks again if Sanzu passed by when he looked through the alley. The Toman member that got threatened basically snitches on what happened, making Mucho upset that Sanzu had used threats of torture without proper evidence of suspicion.

Pah-chin is playing the crane game in the arcade and Sanzu asks for information about the rumour. But Pah-chin tells him he is busy trying to get the dog plushy, so once he has it, he would have time to talk. Eventually, Sanzu grows impatient in waiting and tells Pah-chin to step aside and let him play instead. Sanzu also sucks in the crane game, keeps losing and even yells at the clerk whether the game is rigged. After spending his last coin, Sanzu wins the plushy and gives it to Pah-chin.

Pah-chin tells about how he heard Chifuyu attended "the meeting" and it sounded like a lot of fun. Sanzu thinks he is getting near his investigation and is surprised Chifuyu could be the traitor and mutters about punishment. Pah-chin is baffled on what the hell Sanzu is talking about, but kinda shrugs about it since he got what he wanted, aka the dog plush that resembles Pochi.
