obviously saiki has a lot of things that set him apart and make him ‘special’, to the point that he considers himself fundamentally different from other people and thinks he might as well be a different species entirely.

but i feel like its even more important because of that to emphasize how he is in many ways the same. he still wants friendship, connection, and meaningful relationships -- no matter how much he might deny it -- and his desire to have a ‘normal life’ is an extension of that, even if he doesn’t see it. his immense power is what alienates him from others; his care for others, flaws, and desires are what bring him back down to the ground.

the beginning of the series has saiki so convinced that there’s no way that he could have meaningful friends because they’re “too different” but by the end of the series he values them enough that he wants to reveal the full extent of his difference...

so that’s all to say that emphasizing saikis incredibly human aspects is quite important to me. he says he is fundamentally different from others but i suppose i always want to prove that that isn’t true, and that he’s just as human and just as capable of loving & being loved as the rest of us. 

anyways look at this
