So here I'll talk a little bit more about Ryuga's physical condition in the AU
When Ryusei found him after the Nemesis battle, Ryuga was very badly hurt, by the battle itself, and the fact that the temple collapsed after the Legend bladers won against Nemesis. They found him when the WBBA went to invest the island after the battle, and honestly, the guy was barely alive. (lots of blood involved here, I love making my favorite character suffer XD)
Ryuga was immediately admitted in a hospital, and Ryusei told only Kenta what was going on. But he also told him to not to have much hope, cause the doctors didn't know if Ryuga was gonna make it.
So Ryuga was in a coma for a few months, while Kenta has to pretend to his friends everything was alright, all this while the world was healing from Nemesis damage.
When he finally woke up, Ryuga was surprised to be even alive, and then he was faced with how much his body was damaged.
His legs were a total mess, badly injured, with possible nerve damage, and his left arm too. The doctors told him that he would never be able to use that arm again, and that his legs would need probably a lifetime of rehab. And also the fact that his whole body was just a giant bruise at this point.
So with only his right arm usable, Ryuga was forced to rely a LOT on the medical staff for his most basic needs. (Eating, go the the bathroom or cleaning) He hated being in this state, weak and unable to do anything by himself, especially when he was the type of person to do everything alone. And he was very much frustrated because he KNEW he needed help. His body couldn't function own his own so he had to bottle up his feelings and let his frustration boil in sine. This caused him to snap a lot at people. At his worst moments he even wished that he hadn't survived.
That's were Kenta stepped in. The guy is the most PATIENT man in history. He supported Ryuga through it all. Never leaving his side while he was recovering, and while Ryuga hated being handled by the medical staff (by people he doesn't know) he at least trusted Kenta.He snapped a lot at Kenta too, but Kenta knew that Ryuga was just angry at himself and the state he was in, so he never had a grudge against him for that. Ryuga learned little by little to accept the boy's help. Kenta was never pushing Ryuga, always ASKING beforehand if he needed his help and waiting for him to just ACCEPT the fact that he needed help and that he wasn't giving up his pride by doing so. (it was very difficult for Ryuga just to learn to say "I need help")
Ryuga also has the bad habit to bottle all his feeling. He was never the type of person to confide his feelings to another. And by not talking about it, he was bound to let it all explode at some point. So Kenta was by his side was it was all too much for Ryuga to handle, supporting him trough many mental breakdowns.
After a few months, Ryuga was healed enough to start physical therapy. He was feeling like he was slowing down Kenta's progress (training, studies and seeing his other friends) because Kenta was giving all his free time to Ryuga. So the man was DETERMINED.
The doctors told him he couldn't use his left arm again? No problem, Ryuga worked his ass off in rehab and proved them wrong, so he could regain at least a little autonomy for everyday life. Obviously, it took MONTHS of rehab with everyday work.
But his arm was still badly damaged and to this day, he feels pain and his arm start shaking when he uses it too much or pushes it too hard. But he can now push his wheelchair by himself and that's a win.
He also tried to work on his legs too. But the nerve damage was here. They were functional, but they HURT whenever he moved. The doctors told that maybe he needed to build some muscles back in his legs to make the pain go away or lessen.
So Ryuga tried. But that didn't work, and the doctors couldn't help him anymore. He could make short movements and stand for short periods of time, but it was just too painful. And at this point, he was tired of it all. He suffered so much in his recovery, and so much in rehabilitation that it was taking a toll of his mental health (which was already in shambles) and he needed to put a stop to that to not spiral further into depression.
That's when Ryusei offered him a job at the WBBA. He knew that Ryuga was frustrated and needed to focus on something else. At first Ryuga was just some kind of consultant. He helped the WBBA find the remnant of Dark Nebula accross the world. (The Nebula was a much larger organisation than they thought, tied with the HD academy and maybe other things. And by being part of it, Ryuga knew a lot about their whereabouts and hideouts)
Then Ryuga took an interest in bey designing and made it his job. The end. (abrupt ending yes I know 😂😂)
