Yeah, so it’s now clear why it had to be Nirei and not Sakura lol
What happened…
Suo: We’re not anything.
Nirei, fists up: alright you fucking liar
What could have happened…
Suo: We’re not anything.
Sakura: *crumples to the ground in crippling depression*
Suo: I DIDN’T MEAN IT. I DIDN’T MEAN IT. I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA GET MAD AND HIT ME. SAKURA PLEASE-

Anyone else really concerned about these things in 226?
The implication that the mother of Dasha (the kid) is being coerced into sexual work by a shady guy in exchange for housing.
The fact that Endo casually had two business passes for Bankoku-Gai
The fact that Endo worked for a guy who dabbled in human trafficking (particularly wanted Shizuka, an 18 year old girl)
Statistically, Women and children are more likely to be trafficked, specially for sexual reasons
Dasha is not the only kid that came to Bankoku-Gai from outside, confirming that kids from outside get abandoned at the dojo too
The faces the RC trio made when the cook stated there were less kids coming in might be related to this existing human trafficking net
The "unsavoury" rumours about RC could be spread by the people running said net, to keep them for reaching out for help
Someone inside RC is involved, is the one who gave the passes to Endo, maybe even the one who asked him to get Shizuka...
Dasha had heard good things only about RC from locals, which means the rumours Endo talked about are more likely fabricated or Endo just extrapolated them himself from the people he worked with that were involved in human trafficking
This also explains a point I brought up in my manga analysis where I mentioned how on alert Suo was when it was revealed they planned on trafficking Shizuka, and how it felt like he was also somewhere else mentally at some points.
Can we all agree this situation feels shady as hell
Can we also agree that RCs main thing is helping but also it seems to be entirely made up on teens and young adults in their early 20s (that are heavily implied to have been abandoned at the dojo from inside or outside the city or to have joined from inside the city because their situation was shitty as hell), and that the Dojo might be sort of safe haven of sorts and RC likely has more bases around the city.
thinking abt how Suo to me is such a passive character actually. as in, he lacks agency, as a character trait. like, we see him acting and having opinions, but, esp during the beginning, we rarely see him make a decision that's more than a mere reaction. we see him taking on a leader/teacher/mediator role a lot but that's bc that's expected of him, that's who he is supposed to be, he doesn't think he's allowed to step out of those roles. he views his own personal preferences as secondary/irrelevant, we know that he has a rather deferential relationship to authority and we know he rarely ever initiates something personal. he hides inside those rules of discipline and responsibility even when he could conceivably lay those down for a few hours and I don't think he really knows how to exist outside that, how to want things for himself and act on that. he does what other ppl do, what other ppl want him to do, what other ppl expect him to do. and during the span of wbk before this arc, it's really cool to see Suo's subtle growth in that regard.
which ofc beautifully mirrors Sakura, whose life tried to beat the agency out of him and he still emerged with so much autonomy and the ability to want and act on his wants. Suo is envious of a lot of his traits and I feel like agency is one of them
I know this is a wildly unpopular opinion, but I'm going to risk saying it anyway. I don't think Suo meant to laugh. I think Nirei caught him off guard and he was surprised. He smiles in shocking moments a lot, and you can tell by looking that the expression is startled, not something he puts on intentionally.
The idea that he laughed in Nirei's face to further drive a wedge between them didn't track for me, and I've noticed that people don't seem to agree so I've kept it to myself. I think the laugh had more to do with the mask slipping. His carefully constructed control of the situation was spiraling out of his grasp in real time. He's trying to keep an indifferent attitude on the surface while beating one of his closest friends bloody, and the guy still asks him if they're friends after.
I think he just lost it. That this is a sign of hysterics. Not cruelty or malice for the sake of the act.
I think this because of the evidence in that moment. If you're laughing in someone's face, you do it in their face. It's loud, it's intentional, it's insincere. I saw someone point out that he's so good at faking his emotions he even faked the blush.
He's trembling. The laugh starts as a pfft. It ends with him covering his face, still trembling. These are signs of someone trying to subdue a reaction, to contain it, not performatively put on a show.
He's having a giggle fit here. Now we know it truly ends like this, and I don't know about anyone else, but that panel just makes me feel a little better about my own theory on the whole thing.
At least Nirei's aware he's watching him come undone in real time.
