Notice how they’re both physically above everyone in the games we see them play; both of them being at the highest point they could possibly be. They’re also talking down to their teammates and/or opponents – Niragi yells at Last Boss for “taking something” away from him, and Chishiya outright says he’s better than his opponent.

Chishiya later says, when Karube and the other players are trying to take down the horse dealer, “They’re idiots if they’re trying to change the rules”; just like Niragi, he’s talking down to his own teammates in this situation.

(Another thing to note is they aren’t on foot with everyone else; while Arisu, Usagi, Karube, and everyone else in the 5♤ are on foot searching for the safe room, Chishiya stays back. While Last Boss, Aguni, and the other militants are on foot attempting to slaughter those animals, Niragi sits back from a distance, much like Chishiya.)

In both cases, they’re putting themselves above everyone else both intellectually and physically. Niragi glazes himself on his gunmanship skills and Chishiya does the exact same thing for his intellectual skills.

But, when Chishiya confronts Niragi on the roof, they’re on an equal playing field. This is the first time we see them, up to that point, putting themselves on the same level as someone else, which reflects what Chishiya said: “You piss me off, it’s like I’m looking at myself.”

They’re equals, they’ve always been equals, and the rooftop confrontation physically reflects their perceptions of one another. In a way, what Yaba said to Enji, “The basis to trust someone is equality," can apply to them as well.

Niragi and Chishiya don’t trust each other, don’t get it twisted, but they also know no one else understands them the way they understand each other. (Which is why laying together, bleeding out is so special to me…like once again, they are equals here. They're sharing their most vulnerable moment TOGETHER.)

IMHO, I think that’s what was missing from the adaptation: that equality between them. In nearly every scene of them together, it’s Chishiya taking the high ground when they are equals, whether the fandom likes it or not😭

- this Beach origin Niragi erasure // Ann and Niragi were the first two there Kuzuryū came next dpmo

- im only watching ep7's first few minutes so i can be disappointed by the shootout then going straight to the Q♡ to see peak television

- MOMOOOOKAAA // Momoka😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

- forgot how lazy the decision to have Kuzuryū kill himself was now im pissed // THE POINT WAS THAT HE STILL BELIEVES ALL LIFE IS EQUAL. AND HE BELIEVES HIS OWN LIFE IS JUST AS VALUABLE AS CHISHIYA'S. YES HE REALIZED HE CANT MAKE THOSE CHOICES BC THEYRE SELFISH BUT WHEJ FACED WITH THE SAME DECISION AS HE ALWAYS HAS BEEN HES ABLE TO PUT HIMSELFON RQUAL FOOTING. HE'D RATHER DIE THAN GIVE UP THOSE IDEALS OF EQUALITY. HE WOUPDNT KILL HIMSELF FOR SOMEONE ELSE BC HIS OWN LIFE IS OF VALUE DPMO
