branzy's power in this relationship is the same as it is in any other relationship: he is observant, calculating, and exploitative. perfect example: trapping rekrap. theres a reason parrot came to branzy with this challenge. despite being a friend and teammate of rek's parrot never came anywhere near as close to succeeding as branzy did. branzy is not just close friends with rek, hes someone who knows how to observe others and note down behaviors, habits, strengths, and weaknesses. you cant brute force rekrap into a generic trap, and branzy knows this, so he uses his observations to tailor traps for rek that exploit his paranoia and work with it rather than against it. his entire video about reconciling with rekrap is a showcase of branzy showing this skill off! every one of the traps he made exploited the habits rek had that kept him safe from falling into other peoples traps. it was branzy spending that whole time ith rek saying "see how easily i can hurt you? arent i such a good guy because i dont?"

to take this back to clownzy, the entire reason clown teamed up with branzy is because he needed branzy to cover his weaknesses regarding redstone. their teamup was the result of clown falling into two other people's traps. hes putting a LOT on the line by letting branzy close to him, because hes basically giving branzy the key to destroying him. branzy is close enough to clown to know exactly how to exploit his nature and his weaknesses to kill him. or worse. hes smart enough to figure out a trap that would work on him. if he really wanted to betray clown he could have at any point, and theres a good chance he could have succeeded, too. the reason clown is constantly purposefully intimidating branzy is beacuse he knows branzy has the power to destroy him now, and he has to remind branzy of why that is a very bad idea. he has to assert his control of the situation. its clown saying you could kill me, but i could kill you worse.

Hello! This isn't a usual style of post of mine, but I had been wanting to make something related to it for a little while.

In the source material, Arashi Narukami uses a style of speech known as Joseigo, or literally, female words/language. It is as the name suggests, a style of speaking predominantly used by women with the intention of sounding softer and more feminine usually spoken in a higher cadence. However there is no comfortable English equivalent for this, and much of it is lost in translation due to it. So I wanted to take a moment to shine a light on this language for people who may not be as familiar with it, as I believe it's a big element in how voice is written for Arashi.

The following will just use certain examples of language to illustrate how this speech comes up in Arashi's normal talking.

IT BEGINS

Eiden wakes up one day unable to talk with everyone! Shenanigans ensue.

I started this over 2 years ago and after fighting through burnout and other issues I finally stumbled my way over the finish line! With the new event I figured it'd be a good time to crunch and finish this thing.
