Olympic Boxing Aikusagi For The Aikusagi Day On Twt

as we draw near the release of the next issue here's my list of (not completely serious) sweet sixteen predictions:

jesse and nicholas fight that feels really brotherly even if they don't know yet. i'm saying hair-yanking, kicking shins, fingers in the face. they're playing fully unfair.

seiji gets benched and they put nicholas in instead of him (way back there was a panel about how the closer should never be replaced by the reserve....... foreshadowing perhaps?)

this leads to seiji complimenting nicholas and NOW we get nicholas realizing he has a crush too (this either spurs him on during the next bout or causes him to have a crisis)

seiji and marcus sweet moment where marcus compliments seiji and it actually means something to him because he was his idol as a kid

harvard gets to say fuck, aiden engages in more internal turmoil than normal

confirmation (as far as there has been the implication) that aiden and nate are exes and everything that comes with that

we discover whether robert coste knows about nicholas or not (my bet is on not) but jesse doesn't find out in this issue

we get some kind of insight on jesse's relationship with fencing (whether he's just a natural talent, it's just for the family, or is as obsessed with it as seiji, ect)

kyle somehow fucks shit up bad. or he has a really funny one liner. like either he's fundamental to the plot of this issue or he's just there to look back and forth between jesse and nick going "oh what the hell"

ok but seriously: harvard and marcel will probably speak during the tournament and aiden will fuck shit up either for himself or others, mayhaps along with someone actually getting him to talk

someone who's not a trusted adult discovers nicholas's relation to the costes (bobby, aiden, or kyle?) and it either gets out, so nick deals with the fallout of that, or they have the moral dilemma of telling someone (coach, robert, or perhaps nick himself)

williams/lewis crumbs lol

haiden kiss. for me specifically. it won't happen but i so wish that it would. and if it does happen it should give us insight on why aiden refuses to apply himself to fencing and harvard's relationship with being captain and responsibility, and they should be deeply troubled and shaken up by it

some more insight on nicholas's dynamic with his mom and maybe information he has about her and robert's relationship?

for the giggles: team finds out seiji never celebrated his 16th because he was in france, so they set up a little celebration for him (hence "sweet sixteen") (this is my favorite one out of all of these) (i have many emotions about seiji being in france, alone, for a year)

last but not least: someone gets carded at least once and someone yells at the refs (happens without fail at every team comp)
