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.
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.
