Powerless Saiki is so funny to me because. he has no self preservation??? As much as he hates his powers, Saiki is still very reliant on them, and is very much used to pulling the craziest stunts with them
And it makes me wonder just how worried he made his friends during those few days he was powerless. I just know his ass tried crossing the road without looking 💀
Okay, Op, Hey Op, i see you. I see you so much but i raise you this.
His friends are already used to this weirdness with him. They know that Saiki sometimes never looks where he's going and just plan to subtley look out. And the one time he almost gets hit, it's the nonchalant gripping of his jacket like "Wait a moment." And then move on.
Saiki does a random ass pose, well- that's just Saiki being Saiki. He's got his lil drama in him.
Saiki looks like he's trying to kill them with his mind? Well, that's just him.
Admittedly, him being jumpy is definitely a new thing. But i love the thought that they just think that he can't fucking *see*. My Boy is suddenly without his glasses, he MUST be blind and people are startling the shit out of him.
Like imagine the announcements they make trying so hard to not scare him, so it's loud movements and *Hey!* from a distance so Saiki can turn to them.
"i didn't think your green glasses were prescribed. But i was wrong, sorry saiki :(."
"Hey Partner, how many fingers am i holding up?"
"He can still tell out Shapes Nendou, don't be rude!"
I personally think that, Saiki realizes in that moment how normal his friends treat him, with and without powers. And all theyre doing is accomodating the best they can.
If Saiki were a more impulsive person when it comes to opening up about himself, he absolutely would have told them then and there. But alas, he's a ball of anxiety masking behind the edge of godhood, so instead he's gonna get enotional and wanna run away for a bit.
