Literally everything makes so much more sense about their relationship when it’s revealed that Gourmet Corp IS in fact led by Ichiryu’s punk little brother. Like IGO is seriously coming at this from an older brother friend group interacting with the punk little brother’s friend group perspective. No wonder they all seem to just be vaguely amused and exasperated by their antics instead of actually on different sides of an ideological war.
