drew this thinking they'll be having the banners at the same time but no 😔 — anyways i think they'd get along
Honsetly the traitor reveal plot in Gachiakuta is done really well.
First off, readers didn't even know there was a traitor until the reveal, and now it's a situation in where the reader knows this character is sus while none of the other characters know. I'm sure it'll create some intense scenes later down the line.
Then it's the characters presentation until now. They're introduced as a supporting character in a fairly early arc where they get to show off some of their powers. When first reading this said character comes off as cool, powerful, a little funny, and someone you're glad to be on the protagonist's side. In other words they're a likeable character with an interesting power you want to see more of in the future.
However, re-reading the arc knowing that they're a traitor gives another impression. They knocked out three other jinki users (including the protagonist) with ease, almost killed them without breaking a sweat. Now instead of thinking of them as an impressive ally they now comes off as a very dangerous enemy who is several levels above Rudo.
Also, when Amo is talking about "the angel" and how it flied up they keep insisting that she's "crazy" and nothing she says can be trusted. It didn't seem weird at the time but with a re-read it sounds more like they try to convince the other characters to not listen to her.
Then, the final scene that cements that they're actually a horrible or at least cruel person is the cake scene right after the reveal. Like they did that just to be cruel. I hope they choke on every cake they eat for the rest of their lives.
The push and pull of “relationships can be very affectionate and still be platonic” and “those are the gayest motherfuckers I’ve ever seen”.
