Imagination Theory

I know the tamsy/rudo siblings theory is pretty popular, but I’m skeptical on it. They do look similar, and information on Rudos dad/family in general is vague enough thats it’s plausible but I’d like to propose a distant relative/cousins theory. In Canis Surebrecs will, he mentions children plural. We can say that Canis had 2 or more children from this. We already know one of those children is the ancestor of Rudo, but what about the other one? And that brings me to this question: what if that child is Tamsy’s ancestor? Tamsy’s last name is pretty close to Canis to start with, and he could’ve chosen that word to hint at his identity as a Surebrec for his own entertainment. Since he obviously wouldn’t use the last name Surebrec if he is one, that’d get him outed. He’s messed with people in ways like that before too, like when he says, “The hint you need to get what you want might be lurking closer than you realize,” referring to himself. Along with his entire visit to Amo after she was rescued..from himself.

Another thing to add on is the ability to cross the border. Yes, it’s possible that its just a watchmen series thing, but what if it’s also the Surebrec lineage that allows the two to cross? From what we’ve seen, we know that Rudos dad, Rudo, and Tamsy, are all capable of crossing the border and living. Obviously Rudo doesn’t know how to get back to the sphere yet, but I’d think he has the ability to at will just like Tamsy.

I wonder if there was a split in the Surebrec descendants at some point, and thats why Tamsy is on the wealthy side of the sphere and Rudo on the other. Tamsy, being older and having access to more resources, knows of this split and why it happened. I’d like to think all of the Surebrecs but Rudo are clued in. Especially if it has something to do with Rudo. Which is entirely plausible with his whole rage situation, Tamsy wanting to “release” that rage, etcetc.

My idea of it all is: Rudos dad grows up in the slums but still has a connection to the wealthy side through the other Surebrecs. Since it’s a distant connection, they don’t pay much mind to him until he obtains pieces of the watchmen set and starts doing whatever else, like crossing the border. In the slums is where he meets Regto, who isn’t a Surebrec but has something up with him that allows him to use the watchmen set. Tamsy’s side try to keep Rudos dad from doing something they don’t approve of, but are somewhat ignorant from years of comfort and power and don’t realize the full extent of his capabilities with the series. Rudo is born, and his pent up rage is something unique/wanted by the other Surebrecs, though Rudos dad doesn’t want to give him up to these people. Rudos father soon attacks the other Surebrec descendants, leaving all but Tamsy dead (probably holding some sort of sympathy for him being a child caught up in the adults problems). Here he has Regto erase Tamsy’s memories with the book, but it doesn’t work for whatever reason, and it not working goes unbeknownst to the two. Something goes wrong afterwards, maybe overwhelmed by other spherites? A punishment for his actions from something higher, even? Which leads to Rudos arms being the way they are, and Rudos father having to leave him behind. He has Rudos memories erased by Regto, who he entrusts Rudo to. (Either that or he tells regto to not engage with Rudo and to just leave him to fend for himself, but Regto takes him in anyway.) Tamsy doesn’t really care about getting revenge for his family members, but he does want to use Rudos rage. The “act of love” part comes from him also disliking the sphere, and thinking its an act of love to help Rudo release his rage and dismantle the entire thing. Anyway, all this is just my general idea of what I think is happening.

Also for those of you who suspect Regto was that second angel with Tamsy, maybe Regto had some conflicting ideals with Rudos dad and also thought utilizing Rudos rage was for the best. Thats why he’d agree to work with Tamsy. He may have even purposefully gotten killed by Tamsy, believing that’d be enough to set Rudo off. Though Im skeptical on that due to Regto not really seeming in on it ..unless he’s just a really good actor.

Im going on and on, and it’s late so some of this may not make sense😭i could add more but im too tired to…if any screenshots or sources are needed i can provide

Pan!Legundo might also harbour some less than expected/ideal feelings towards (at least some of) the gods. I wouldn’t call it animosity, that’s not what it felt like to me, more so that he seems to dislike the way they act or treat things related to the mortal world.

(Crack theory: Imagine he lost someone important to him because of a gods actions when he was alive but learned to kinda move on and keep going and now he keeps being reminded of what he lost because of the gods constant interference.)

Anyways.

Now they could make different versions of these characters like summer or lunar new year versions of them or other alternates but it just makes me worried they might get boring or worn out over time seeing the same characters over and over again in different patches that aren’t in other universes like they mentioned in their livestream that they would do like Metaphor Refantazio, Shin Megami Tensei, and of course Persona 4.

Anon, I am completely certain that they will keep finding ways to add new characters for as long as they want to do that, I really don't think that's something to be worried about. Remember, the whole sales model of a gacha game is to sell characters to people! They don't want us to get sick of their characters, either.

Woah, guys, calm down a little, heh!

From what I could tell from the two trailers they've posted- which, mind you, are just trailers, so it's hard to be certain of anything- it looks like the summer event's actual story will still be 3D models with the regular format, while only one of the side aspects (I'm guessing those summer hangouts, where you can see scenes with the characters outside of the event's actual story) will be in the visual novel format.

While I'll admit I don't prefer the visual novel format either, personally, I don't really mind them formatting something minor like those hangouts in the visual novel style if it saves them some time; there wasn't a whole lot going on in the hangouts, anyway.
