A lil bit ago i managed to go to the Mixx Garden x Ososan collab in Ikebukuro!!! Also dont mind the blank pics, its just to organize the post and for it to take up less space LOLS

A lil more info bellow (long post warning):

Karamatsu and Todomatsu appeared as police officers in a story based on Hansel and Gretel.

Additionally, in an old folktale based on the motif of the crane's return of a favor, Todomatsu appears as the first crane saved by Karamatsu.

Karamatsu looks at Todomatsu with a gentle gaze as he works hard to repay his debt of gratitude.

Like yeah, all the brothers tend to lie about themselves or their accomplishments to other people to seem better (except for Osomatsu but he has no shame so he don’t count) but specifically Todomatsu is the only one we’ve seen that actively lies to other people to gain their favor, while also not admitting that he has no idea what he’s doing in life. Meanwhile, Karamatsu is the one who lies about his image, but we don’t see him hesitate to admit that he doesn’t have a job or plans for the future.

Karamatsu is undeniably a try-hard, but he goes out of his way to share his hobbies and accomplishments with his family, as opposed to Todomatsu who had done several things worth celebrating, yet has mentioned none of them.

It’s also interesting the scope in which they lie. Karamatsu lies about doing adventurous things like getting a ton of girls and being a super cool hero, while Todomatsu lies about every day stuff like going to college and not having brothers. Karamatsu’s fallacies are easy to spot and easy to come undone but he doesn’t seem to flinch when others call him out on it. Meanwhile, Todomatsu’s lies are carefully crafted to make him fit in, and he tends to have major freak outs when that lie seems to come undone.
