I love Kyoko as a character so much and I wish the fandom didn’t only ever portray her as the surface level character we see.
She’s a ‘cold, stoic, emotionless’ detective but she’s,,,really not any of that
She’s not cold, there’s a reason she helps Makoto after the first trial, there’s a reason she saves him from Junko and saves him again in chapter 5 and it’s because she cares (yes she does mess up other times, but she still saves him)
She’s upset with him in chapter 3 because she does have emotions, and her emotions are so clear here, she’s genuinely hurt that he’s hiding something from her.
Shes also fascinated by things that have nothing to do with her detective work, I see her usually portrayed as hating anything that isn’t detective work but it’s actually the opposite!! There’s two school modes that show she’s interested in other hobbies (her agreeing to do karaoke with Makoto and her wanting Makoto to show her new things)
Also she’s,,kind of a repressed dork deep down, she teases Makoto and makes jokes, I don’t have much proof here but deep down she’s kind of a goofy dork and I wish that was explored more bc I love it about her.
I wish the fandom didn’t dull down everything about her just to portray her as a ‘cold, uncaring, girl boss’ when she’s really the complete opposite.
I love Kyoko Kirigiri so much she’s so interesting and she deserves the entire world.
