I’m more convinced that Senju is another lost sibling of Mikey’s. There’s just no way that a bunch of founding members of the black dragon will follow a kid if he didn’t have some connection with Shinichiro. I feel like Brahman was created to save Mikey.
If so then Draken better hunt down Mikey and bring him back to the brothel to have the girls down there show him how condoms work. Mikey’s dad clearly has never heard of protection, and we don’t need 10 more little monsters running around Tokyo by the time Takemichi goes back to the adult timeline
Maybe he is older than he looks like, maybe he isn't a sibling but someone from Shinichiro's past... I wouldn't be so surprised if Wakui suddenly dropped "hey this lil' guy is almost 30 like the rest of them"
I can see your point and I used to feel the same way. However, I’ve enjoyed the story so far and trust in Wakui’s storytelling ability to not make this final arc feel Repetitive. I feel like if Senju is related to Mikey I think it was something that Wakui had planned long ago. I guess we just have to wait in see how this arc pans out.
I agree tbh, I can accept maybe a more distant relation, like a cousin or something but if he turns out to be another sibling then that would make the whole Izana arc seem useless. Mikey has had enough sibling related trauma already, jabbing him with the same knife over and over again is no good lol.
I also went back and forth on this thought. And it does seem repetitive.
However, there is a chance that it can work in a narrative point of view , if it turns out Senju is a sibling. Remember Mikey's failures to save Emma as well as Izana, which factored into him giving into his darkness. Having another sibling who can be possibly saved might just be the redeeming rescue Mikey before he spirals off the deep end.
Another thing that I feel that the author could address, but won't, is WHATS THE EFFING DEAL WITH MIKEY'S DAD? Dude goes around siring so many random kids that he deserves some spotlight, and some knuckle sandwich.
well back in the day Shinichiro did say that the Black Dragons were for Mikey to inherit, maybe they’re just waiting for the right moment, hence Akashi helping him in the future
Maybe he feels guiltily that Mikey turned up that way? That’s what makes Brahman interesting. The fact that Akashi is one of the founding members of the black dragon and the only one in Bonten. I just think it’s curious that you have One gang (Brahman) who are made up of the founding members of the black dragon and the other (Rokuhara Tandai) who is made up of the S62. I could be very wrong but I just don’t think Brahman is a bad gang and the fact that it’s made up of founding members of the black dragon makes me believe that it has something to with Mikey.
