hate when people dumb or nutshell characters
yes this might be about shotaro kaneda.
like he’s not your “freaky bad boy hero protagonist” he’s so much more than that. I want to study his character and mannerisms. Hell, i would personally cave dive into the movie or manga just to see more about him and understand his actions. In a way he reminds me of myself, but that’s just projecting myself into him.
he’s grown up streetwise, and never educated. Not as in “oh he doesn’t know how to read” of course he knows it’s just that i mean more topics. What if he never learned of being SA’d, manipulations or something like that and he’s lived that way since ever? what if he never learned about healthy relationships or the difference between platonic or romantic that then caused him to wonder his internal relationships with others (Tetsuo, Kai, etc.)
i might add more to this but this is all that i can think of. If there’s anyone that met him or studied him like crazy PLEASE do share, i really would love to get to know him even if he’s never heard about me.
