Tsukasa is always trying to perform his best while also downplaying his acting, only accepting his ‘best’ wasn't good enough. While Ena, doesn't even know how good her art is, as she's always criticized by her mentors (dad and art teacher). She literally gets happy because her COMPOSITION is great, but the rest of her art is trash.

They both share this mentality that is “I need to be the best, but I'm not even good.”, because of that, they appear to be egotistical asses that don't know when to stop talking.

This was shown when Tsukasa blew up on Nene and Ena calling Mafuyu selfish, Tsukasa wanted his show to be perfect but thought Nene had ruined it whilst Ena thought Mafuyu wasn't being appreciative to Kanade when she gave them the opportunity to shine (and Ena was praised for her drawings, which made her think Mafuyu was a bitch for downplaying Kanade's efforts.)

After their initial thoughts, they actually grow to be a supportive friend to others. But never to themselves. Like how Tsukasa always supported his troupe and Ena supported Mizuki when she was outed.

They both hold themselves onto this high pedestal that they both don't think they even deserve to see, and it's not like they even think they're sitting on it. They're having this pedestal for their talent, yet they don't even think it's good enough to be shown in the spotlight.

Both Tsukasa and Ena also don't communicate properly about their struggles, as they think it's something they both need to handle themselves. Making them tragic cases of their own pride.

One of the first things we learn about Ena is that, in her middle school years, her father told her that she would never be able to become an artist. And guess what? She decided to keep making art out of spite. Even with all the obstacles she'd end up facing, with her losing the contest in her first event, constantly facing criticism in her art class, her doubt that she can even get into an art school for college shown in her Worldlink chapter, she still keeps drawing. Hell, when it came to her art class, she quit because she thought she wasn't good enough, only to go back to it in her second event so she can force herself to improve, regardless of the pain she feels at every critique.

The same can be said for Tsukasa!! His third event is especially interesting to me because of how he forces himself to stare his shortcomings in the eye, and then use that sense of "failure" to ultimately get the role he staked all of his efforts thus far on. It's a reoccurring theme in both his and other Wondershow characters' events- he fails, but he uses the situation he is left in as a result to propel himself until it can be counted as some level of success. Tsukasa failed to get the role of Alfred in Rui3, which he took to understand that his acting is inferior to Asahi's, but he would do everything he could to perfect his role as Barlett so he can still find success in the show. In his fourth event, Tsukasa was pretty much told to his face that he had ruined the scene he was in, but in a way that still made it clear that he accomplished his task of making his 3-line-character seem real.

We constantly hear both Ena and Tsukasa talk themselves down, say that their skills are inadequate, how their peers are so much better that them than they could ever dream of being, and yet, they don't let that stop them from pushing forward. Is that healthy? Absolutely not. I think in Tsukasa's case especially, how they're handling this could only ever lead to burnout, but that's a different subject entirely lmfao

Asahi still wants to try to take in Rui into Arkland right? I mean he did said that he'll ask Rui when he's out of highschool at the end of the curtainfall event.

Won't them freelancing give Asahi more opportunity to meet him? He did say he want to make sure his acting is so good that it'll impress Rui. I'm sure he'll be respectful of course. Asahi knows that Rui still wants to be with WxS.

I mean I kinda wanna see Asahi vs Tsukasa on which is the better actor for Rui to direct. Tsukasa did lose on getting the main role during that time so like it's round 2.

Asahi, when talking about Rui: Yes excellent director, lots of potential, amazingly creative, I would love to work with him more

Asahi, and that one line with Tsukasa: Your Miles totally ENRAPTURED ME and made me FALL IN LOVE with him

I'm a FIRMM believer that Tenma siblings are very physically affectionate (i.e. hugs, forehead kisses, cheek kisses, high fives, shoulder bumping, cuddling, hair ruffling, etc)

This takes Toya fully by surprise when they do it to him outright, without any room for denial.

--

Tsukasa was eating breakfast with Saki and Toya before realizing he was going to be late for a meet-up with Wondershow.

He has this thing, where he instinctively kisses Saki on the forehead before he heads off, so he does. But, in his unfiltered older brother instinct and disarray, he kisses Toya on the forehead too. And just. Leaves.

Toya kinda blue screens before snapping back and being like "what."

Saki doesn't even bat an eye lmao she just kinda looks at him like he's a little weird.

Toya: (literally saw Tsukasa kiss Saki's forehead first before beelining to him without any hesitation) "I think... he mistook me for you"

Saki: "Toya you dumb fuck (/affectionate) you've been one of us since you stepped foot in our house"

--

Tenma siblings cuddle a lot, usually on the couch during movies. Tsukasa in the middle, Saki to his right, and Toya to his left. They aren't aware of the set position but whenever they switch, all of them all at once just think "something is not right rn"

While cuddling, Tsukasa often uses his right hand (which Saki is leaning on) to either scroll his phone, read, or so show work (costume designing, script writing, ideas, etc). He always leans his head on Saki's. He uses his left hand to run through Toya's hair.

--

Toya starts referring to Saki and Tsukasa as his siblings and family outside sometimes.

Saki and Tsukasa listens to pop music sometimes. Not their main music taste, but enough for it to be significant.

This culminates to a very confusing moment for VBS, who've met Toya's biological, douche, emotionally constipated classical music family, when they hear Toya say "Oh, yeah I know Taylor Swift. My family listens to her sometimes."

Which scared VBS to their core because why is Harumichi Aoyagi listening to western white girl music

Tsukasa loves baking and cooking. It's a stress reliever thing for him. This is a huge bonus for his siblings (mainly Saki. Toya's not a huge sweets person) because there's always sweets in the pantries.

Toya never sneaks into the kitchen alone, he wouldn't dare. Plus, again, not a huge sweets person. Saki, however, is a horrible influence. They often have 2am gossip, accompanied by brownies and vanilla ice cream.

--

Toya and Saki can't cook for their life. (I know canonically, they're okay-ish, but hear me out.)

Toya, raised as a rich kid for most his life, has never cut a single raw ingredient in his life until his late teen years.

Saki's been hospitalized for the majority of her life.

Tsukasa's the only Tenma sibling with cooking and baking skills (considering he had to fend for himself for a while)

While they were baking together, Toya and Saki managed to get the batter on the ceiling AND explode the microwave because the batter had too much eggshells in it when they put it in. Tsukasa had to call Rui over to fix it.

Tsukasa: "I can't pay you for now, Rui I'm so sorry-"

Rui: "Don't worry about it, Tsukasa"

Tsukasa: "I'll repay you in sweets when we're done?"

Rui: "...preferably not ceiling ones but yeah I'd like that"

--

Speaking of,

Ruikasa starts dating and Tsukasa swears that Rui had nothing to worry about when it comes to his family. They're welcoming! They're open! They'll love him.

Rui decided to not tell him about the glares coming from a certain pinkish blonde and split haired boy when they announced the news. (At least the parents were sweet)

Toya and Saki actually has no real gripes against Rui. They're protective, sure, they will eventually corner Rui and interrogate him, but Saki just thinks it's funny and Toya is just Toya. Rui's paranoid lmao

--

Akito punching Toya in the main story left a bruise (as seen in the official animation) which Tsukasa and Saki got really concerned about during their arcade hangout (Toya's first 3* side story).

Tsukasa figured out that Akito was the one who did it, and ranted to Saki about it. But he retracts it when the duo made up.

Saki isn't letting that shit go, oh no. This GINGER punched her brother?? Then, she started hearing about how Akito likes messing with Tsukasa, even insulting him to his face sometimes.

So she has a personal beef with Akito. Who didn't even know she existed.

When Akito first step foot into the Tenma household, he was dreading the presence of Tsukasa, but to his shock and horror, Tsukasa is actually more tame at home.

His biggest worry should've been the girl with pigtails, who, upon seeing him, got up from her chair and heads straight to her room. not breaking eye contact.

It takes a while, but Saki and Akito gains an unlikely alliance.

Names I gave to the Tenmas:

Tenma siblings: All three of them, at once

Tenma Twins: Saki and Toya

Tenma brothers: Tsukasa and Toya

Prototype Tenma: Tsukasa and Saki

(real original I know)

Kohane is Wondershow's number #1 fan, probably Tsukasa's number #6 fan (I love her but her competition is Saki, Toya, and Wondershow. Idk what to tell you. At least she got a number)

She absolutely loses it when Toya got them all free tickets to one of their shows.

Akito dreads going. An is slightly excited. Kohane is radiating pure joy.

Akito nearly cries when when Kohane admits that she actually likes Tsukasa as a person, not just a performer, when she properly meets him.

Akito: "An you're my only hope. Toya's biased, Kohane's insane"

An: "idk dude Tenma and Kamishiro are pretty cool when they're not actively trying to blow the school up"

Akito: "An please"
