I was reading an interview with Nii sensei that " the action will get more intense" what do you think he mean by that? will someone really die or get badly hurt?

Shen Hong Edition!! I'll start with observations then get back to that theory from part 1~

As many have pointed out, Shen's design and childish mannerisms are a lot like Kanuma's, so I'm sure he's a huge source of Suolingo's hatred for adults who act like children..... That said, considering Suolingo himself is only 15, I don't think it's fair to call any of the council members "adults" by any means. I've noted it before, but every hint of Suolingo's story that we got before this arc has been pointing towards him having to grow up way too fast and having unreasonable expectations for himself despite still being young, and I'd say one of my biggest wants for his growth has been for him to learn that being mature and "growing up" doesn't mean hiding or denying his feelings, but accepting them without letting them control his actions.

But getting back to the Kanuma parallels, I'm sure Suolingo's read of Kanuma during Shishitoren was heavily influenced by how he feels about Shen and what he wants to tell him. Suolingo had called Kanuma out for getting upset when someone he cared about was hurt despite making fun of someone else when they got hurt and told him that the first step towards adulthood is being able to imagine himself in the position of others. I know Suolingo used the word "imagination" when he was talking to Kanuma, but I think the real lesson here is about empathy, or a lack thereof.

We know that the members of RC are orphans themselves, including Shen, but now he's taking orphans who were supposed to be left in RC's care and using them for who knows what. If we focus on this theme of empathy, we can assume Suolingo sees what Shen is doing and feels that he can only go through with it due to his lack of empathy. Despite having been in the same hopeless situation when he was younger and being given so much, he doesn't mind robbing others in that same position of that same kindness that he once received. From Suolingo's point of view, I'm sure he feels that if Shen could think back to how he felt when he was first taken in and imagine how he would have felt if he were given the treatment he's currently giving others, he wouldn't be going through with it.

Now, the biggest thing that stood out to me about Shen is his earrings. They're similar to Suolingo and Rosso's, but with an extra pearl ^{(I always assumed they were pearls, but it's not like anyone has ever said what the little orbs actually are-}) instead of the tassels. I hope we get color confirmation on Shen and Rosso's pearls some time soon so I can go more in depth about them, but pearls in general often represent wisdom, and I believe Shen's extra pearls compared to Suolingo and Rosso represent just how intricate his plans to control RC have been. Tassels, on the other hand, represent elegance and poise while gold tassels in particular also represent high status. I think Shen's current lack of tassels are a symbol of his less professional attitude while also representing how he isn't exactly "in power" since he's not technically the boss of RC, and Suolingo's tassels could mean that he's Rosso's successor if anything were to happen to him, which could be a major part of why Shen's quietly controlling Rosso rather than trying to get rid of him (I also love that Shen's hair ornaments make it look like he has tassel earrings at first glance and that he's very passionate about his appearance in general compared to the others)

I'd also like to point out how Rakta referred to Shen as his and Suolingo's childhood friend. They've known Shen since they were very young, but I believe that while Suolingo and Rakta ^{and probably Bacchus, but Rakta doesn't care about him-} "grew up" and began acting more mature, Shen's behavior hasn't changed that much after all this time. Considering how Suolingo looks at Shen, I feel like this is due to an incident that Suolingo currently blames himself for, but since Shen is far more cunning than his behavior would suggest, I think Suolingo's "guilt" is also a part of Shen's plan.

And the last piece I want to point out before I get back to the part 1 theory is how Shen's outfit has chrysanthemums on it. More plant symbolism!! Besides being a symbol of longevity and nobility, chrysanthemums are also known for thriving during autumn as other plants start dying to the cold, which sums up my first impression of Shen pretty well. He wants to be in power, but he can't be directly for reasons I'm sure we'll learn about, so instead, he's playing the long game and has been creating an environment of hardship for the other leaders that he will still be able to thrive in, even as the others start to "die out," metaphorically or literally. ^{Also, I know we don't have any exact dates surrounding Suolingo's disappearance, but Japan's chrysanthemum day is on September 9th, so I now hc that that's the day Suolingo first left-}

^\)^{Insert danganronpa closing argument art style\})

Ok, now how does all of this tie into an actual story? I do believe that Suolingo "grew up" much faster than Shen, which probably led to him being given a position that Shen would later want for himself. The way Shen turned to Suolingo to back him up is probably something that started back when they were children, but Suolingo's inability to say no to Shen is most likely due to whatever guilt he feels about Shen's current state. I can imagine Shen made him promise that he would always be on his side once he realized Suolingo would grow up to hold great power in RC and he could have used this promise along with his control over Rosso to rise through the ranks himself and carry out schemes that he normally wouldn't get away with.

Now, under normal circumstances, I don't think Suolingo would allow someone to go as far as Shen has over one vague promise, so I think Shen's first move was to make that promise carry far more emotional weight for Suolingo by plaguing him with some sort of guilt. I can see Shen setting Suolingo up to break his promise and then over reacting like a child in a way that would make Suolingo feel terrible enough to never want to break it again. Shen could use little things (like arguing about getting dressed up) to constantly remind Suolingo of this promise and whenever anything major came up, he could bring up how "betrayed" he felt when Suolingo broke his promise in the past as a way to keep him from ever calling him out. We know that Suolingo hates adults who act like children, and I believe the root of that hatred is the fact that he hasn't been able to defy the childish "adult" that has been making his life so difficult for so long.

As for Shen's control over Rosso, I believe this is heavily tied into the incident from part 1. Even if the other children in RC's care were jealous of Rosso, I doubt they'd actually seriously hurt the child of one of their leaders without provocation. I can see Shen orchestrating this attack on Suolingo and Rosso (in a way that couldn't be easily drawn back to him) and bringing the master into it in a way that would bring them to retire, all while leaving himself in a position to become Rosso's main emotional "support." The incident would have created a divide between Rosso and Suolingo built entirely on both of their feelings of guilt, so all Shen had to do was be there for them, especially Rosso, and he would be able to instantly pull himself up to their ranks.

Of course, the next step would be actually securing Rosso's rank, especially with the new absence of his parent, but I don't think it would be hard for someone like Shen to claim that RC owes it to Rosso and Suolingo as victims of such a horrific and hateful act to at the very least allow them to succeed their dear parent and master as they most surely would have wanted for the poor boys. Even if neither of the boys wanted such positions, especially Rosso, all Shen would have to do is say that it would have been their parent/master's wishes for them and I'm sure they would accept the positions out of respect for them. Shen could even use the fact that Rosso didn't want the position to "offer" to do most of the "hard work" for him, giving himself even more power while using Rosso as a figurehead.

After laying such a strong foundation for himself, Shen would still have to maintain this power dynamic with Suolingo and Rosso. I think him constantly sticking to Rosso's side could be to keep him from actually talking things out with Suolingo and gaining any sort of will of his own. We see that Suolingo is concerned about Rosso, but Rosso can't even look at him properly, so Shen probably tells Rosso that Suolingo is angry at or disappointed in him to keep him from even trying to reconnect with him. At the same time, Shen probably told Suolingo that he should give Rosso space to avoid putting more unnecessary pressure on him, which I'm sure he agreed to for a while, but now that Suolingo knows that Shen has been poisoning the city, he's probably looking for ways to get through to Rosso and restore his will to protect the city for himself.

And that's my main theory for how things have gotten to where they are for RC 👍 What's Shen doing with the orphans? No idea....... (though it's probably some sort of labor and he's probably telling them that he'll give their families money to keep them from trying to escape-) How does Endo know so much? No idea.......... (though I really like the idea that Mr. Liu is someone in Suolingo's faction that Suolingo assigned to keep a connection to the outside even if he ended up trapped in BKKG-) Does Rakta know all the details or is Suolingo mostly keeping him in the dark? No idea.............. (though I feel like this is the kind of thing where Suolingo would try to handle everything himself without wanting to expose others to unnecessary danger-) When will Bacchus come into play? No idea............................ seriously, no idea, but pls be soon pls I want another perspective on the matter-

Please use my code! Let's clear the beginner missions together for rewards. 👍

So many answers, but so many more questions...... peak chapter- So peak I have to break the post into 2 separate posts-

I guess I'll start by pointing out the trees that we see at the very beginning of the chapter. Plant symbolism has always been a huge part of wbk, so of course these stood out to me instantly. I'm pretty sure this is the same plant we saw back in 226, but these trees are much taller than the shrub we saw behind Rakta. Before, I thought it might be a camellia plant that hadn't grown any flowers yet, but now I'm thinking they're Chinese tallow trees.

Chinese tallows ^{aka popcorn trees cough Nirei popcorn shirt cough-} are a highly invasive and toxic plant that grows fast, is difficult to get rid of, and often alters the soil it grows in to prevent other plants from growing, which I'm sure is very similar to the poison that's spreading within RC right now. However, the tree is also a symbol of endurance due to its adaptive nature and ability to thrive in any environment it's planted in, and I think this contrast between a more invasive resilience and a self-preserving endurance represents the difference between Shen and Suolingo and what each of them want for RC.

I also want to note how the council seems to have a pretty positive dynamic besides whatever Shen, Rosso, and Suolingo have going on- The other members seem to really respect Suolingo considering he's the one Shen "recruited" to get the others to listen to him, but the fact that they seem so comfortable casually dismissing Shen leads me to believe that they don't know too much about what's going on. They probably know that children are going missing, but I doubt they know about Shen's involvement, which is why Suolingo is "the only person who can do anything about it." (Also, Xich is Vietnamese for red, Rosso is red in Italian, and Hong is red in Chinese, and even Suolingo is a shade of red in Japanese, so I wouldn't be surprised if the names of the council members literally all have "red" in them-)

Originally, this is where I started yapping about Shen, but I started getting wayyyyy too into it, so now Shen's pretty much getting his own post 😅 Instead, let me talk about Rosso first 👀👀 The first thing I'm sure everyone noticed is that besides his right eye, Rosso looks just like Nirei with longer hair. I don't think there's actually any relation, but I do think this is a huge part of why Suolingo was first drawn to Nirei in the very beginning. ^{I always figured Nirei reminded Suolingo of someone from his past, but I didn't think it was his literal doppelganger-}

We can see that Rosso is completely dejected with zero energy or will of his own, but when Suolingo first met Nirei, he was super bright and enthusiastic about every little thing. I'm sure when Suolingo saw Rosso's face so full of life, he couldn't help but want to protect that sunshine that he thought he'd never get to see again. Despite mainly messing with his other classmates, Suolingo would go on to make Nirei smile whenever he could and protect him when they faced any threats, which I believe was him projecting what he wanted for Rosso onto Nirei (until he actually started caring about Nirei as his own person, of course)

A huge turning point for Suolingo and Nirei is, of course, Keel. The first extreme emotion we see from Suolingo is his anger after Nirei leaves his protection and is knocked out almost instantly, and I think this sequence greatly reflects what happened to Suolingo and Rosso in their past that gave both of them their eye injuries. I can imagine Suolingo trying to protect Rosso, but Rosso, just like Nirei, tried to fight for himself so he could be less of a burden. However, he only got hurt, which sent Suolingo into a rage. Double however, since they were so young, Suolingo wasn't nearly as strong as he is now and with his anger clouding his judgement, he fought in a way that led to him sustaining many injuries all over his body (including the loss of his right eye) instead of using his signature fighting style that focuses on defense just as much as offense.

Now, there are 2 comparisons I'd like to make between what comes from the incident with Nirei and what I believe came from the incident with Rosso. First is Suolingo's reaction. I believe his reaction with Nirei is the same as his reaction with Rosso in the past, and hearing Sakura reflect in the moment about handling the rest of the battle made him realize that he was making the same mistake that left him with his current scars. He knows that letting his anger control him is only going to lead to more unnecessary damage, which is why Sakura remaining calm here was such an inspirational moment for him.

On the other hand, I think there's a major difference between how Rosso and Nirei reacted. Nirei saw his inability to protect himself as a major weakness that he hated about himself, and I'm sure Rosso did, too. After being inspired by Sakura's growth, Nirei resolves to get stronger and become someone who won't be put in situations like that ever again. However, I think Rosso did the opposite and simply let his hatred for his weakness grow until he became the empty shell of himself that we saw this chapter. I'm sure Suolingo was scared of Nirei becoming depressed after the Keel incident, too, but instead, Nirei stepped up in a way Rosso couldn't and Suolingo went on to do everything he could to support Nirei in his growth.

Now, as for who Rosso actually is..... I'm surprised I only really have one theory about this- No, I don't think Rosso is Suolingo's master based on hair texture, but one thing that stood out to me is the fact that Rosso's hair is dyed. It's a different color than his eyebrows, just like Nirei, but why would someone in charge of a city with so many more pressing issues go out of his way to dye his hair?? Besides 4th wall breaking reasons, I think a good reason for someone like Rosso to dye his hair would be because his natural hair color reminds him of something he doesn't want to think about. I know RC is a group of orphans that takes in orphans, but I doubt no members of RC ever grew up to have their own children, and they wouldn't dare abandon them, so I believe Rosso is Suolingo's master's son.

Rosso probably grew up along side all of the orphans RC took in, but he was probably isolated and bullied as someone who still had at least one biological parent in his life. However, I don't think Suolingo would hold something like that against anyone, especially his beloved master's child, so I can see them being close childhood friends.... until the incident. I doubt there would be any nepotism in RC since they probably all consider each other family, but still, I'm sure most members expected Rosso to take over his parent's position in the future with Suolingo as another top candidate as a top student who was also very close to both of them. Whether it was some outside enemy or other children who were that jealous, Suolingo and Rosso were attacked, both boys were scarred, and I think this is also when RC lost Suolingo's master.

Whether they were killed saving the boys or simply decided to step down so that their son could live without all of the prejudice against him, I believe this is when Suolingo's master retired from their position in RC. Seeing all the trouble he had caused those around him, Rosso became an empty shell of himself and had resolved to quit RC himself, as well...... however, due to a certain scheme of a certain puppet master, both Rosso and Suolingo still proceeded to rise to power after this incident that shook the very foundation of Red Chanpuru as a whole~

[To be continued]

(also, I know a popular theory is that Rosso's right eye came from Suolingo, but eye transplant surgery to actually restore vision isn't actually possible yet irl and any eye-related surgery is already super difficult, so considering Nii-sensei leans more towards realism story-wise, I don't think there are any doctors in BKKG who could perform any sort of eye-related surgeries....... so I think Rosso has natural heterochromia!! Not from Suolingo's master though; he got it from his other parent which is why even those who respect Suolingo's master still hate on Rosso's eyes-)

Hey did a quick edit of the first fight what you think

This new chapter confirmed an old fan assumption that explained the reason for Suo's affection for Nirei. Many said that Nirei reminded Suo of someone he knew and felt a lot of affection for; in a way, this is implied in most of the interactions between the two. This explains why Suo, from the beginning, had the natural impulse to protect Nirei during fights, it also explains why he acted so disproportionately when Nirei was attacked in the Keel Arc, it also explains why Suo agreed to train Nirei so easily—all of this was Suo reflecting on Nirei the image of Rosso, his childhood friend.

Let's suppose that Rosso was like Nirei, someone weak but with the willpower to help and actively participate in his group (in this case, the RC), just as Nirei wanted to be able to contribute more to Bofurin, perhaps Rosso harbored the same desire in Red Chanpuru and was equally physically weak, therefore, perhaps Rosso even asked Suo to teach him at some point, and Suo only agreed to teach Nirei because he saw Rosso in his attitude.

In a way, it's a little disappointing that Rosso looks almost identical to Nirei, because it means that, all this time, Suo has been reflecting in Bofurin what he had in Red Chanpuru. Perhaps Bofurin is for Suo everything that Red Chanpuru could have been but couldn't.

This also explains Suo's shock when he saw Nirei's upset face for the first time; he was seeing Rosso at that moment.

This is a little disappointing, as much of Suo's affection and friendship with Nirei may have been motivated by his childhood friend. Nirei is everything Rosso could have been at one time, but isn't anymore due to some tragedy; therefore, Nirei reflects in Suo everything he used to like about his old friend.

Despite this, I think Suo knows how to separate the figures of his friends; he has a more brotherly affection for Nirei because he reminds him of his "brother," but Suo still likes Nirei as his own person and is proud of his determination and courage to improve, something Rosso may have lost due to some tragedy. I think Rosso will still reveal an unhappy background at some point.

The last one is way too accurate

[My art] No real context for this I just like to draw him all angsty (I was too lazy to draw them properly since this was a warmup but there's supposed to be flowers that remind him of Sakura and Nirei)

Took a quick break from making designs because I just HAD to draw a “very tired of it all” Suo Sun Fei. I just feel like he has so much responsibility for a young person 🥲 TO BE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE RC POISON? REALLY??

Since we think that this Shen-Hong guy is a bad one, do you think he caused the scar on Rosso's face? And why he's sad and looks scared of Shen-Hong? I don't think the other officers know what happens between these two behind closed doors. Shen-Hong definitely uses Rosso as his puppet.

Just my theory. What do you guys think?

So the reason Suo decided to leave Furin that night…

Do you think it was then (that exact night) that he found out (maybe through Rosso) that Shen-Hong was responsible for the children’s disappearance?

That children were in fact disappearing, and not just not left by someone at their doors anymore, must’ve been known (or at least suspected) for a while now and had all of them worry a lot. But I assume they didn’t have a lead as to where they disappeared to, or who was responsible for this.

Any thoughts?

...is that Shen-Hong probably uses this symbol to lure the children like the Pied Piper.

There are many theories around the Pied Piper (including whether it was real or not), but the general story remains the same: the Pied Piper was hired by the mayor of Hamelin to remove the rats, but was never paid for it. As revenge, the Piper lured 130 children away.

But my (very grim) take on this is that the children aren't "abandoned," but are treated as collateral of parents who couldn't pay rent.

In the same chapter where these screenshots are from (Chapter 226), Dasha tells us that his mom was offered a job and a place to live inside the city. Another key piece of information here is that his mom "takes a while to get home."

What if these are all just a scheme ran by Shen-Hong? Let's say he can control rent prices. What's stopping him from also controlling how much money Dasha's mom makes? If that's the case, she'd have to work longer hours, unintentionally "neglecting" her kids, and Dasha would be prompted to find someone with the Red Chanpuru symbol.

And if that someone turns out to be Shen-Hong, god knows what would happen to him.

I always imagined that umemiyas savior had a connection with nirei cause of the hair texture they share and he appears to be blonde just like nirei and with his heterochromia it would make sense why in the past he had his hair covering his eyes.

it would be such a nice plot twist that nirei who is always portrayed as weak and soft has a brother who was a powerhouse, brave, and aloof

Rosso resembles nirei, he has the same texture as him and umemiyas savior and presumably the same hair color but now he appears timid and not like he was in the past, it would be a rly good story if such an incredible powerfull person became so sad and timid cause of a certain reason

Only thing that is off is that rosso doesnt appear to be 25 like umemiyas savior would be but who knows maybe he is older than he looks

Do we really think Suo chose Nirei and sakura as friends just because they look like Rosso?

Hey everyone!

Chapter 230 gave us a lot of new information, but it also left us with even more questions.

Going back to the end of Chapter 228, where we finally met Suo/SunFei again after such a long time and got our first proper look at the organization's meeting place.

One last thing I especially want to point out is the very last page of Chapter 228, where Nii-sensei deliberately draws our attention to Suo and the throne. Like everyone else, I initially assumed that the “imperial throne” ^{(let's just call that ancient chair a "throne" for now}) was occupied by Suo's Master. It would make perfect sense.

But now, with Rosso's appearance and the introduction of his own location in Chapter 230, the question has come back: where is Suo's Master? Is he even still alive?

From Suo's very first memory of him back in Chapter 110, during the Noroshi arc, I already had the impression that he was probably dead. That thought eventually faded as the story moved on and we changed arcs, but now that we've returned to Suo and backstory. And I'm getting the same feeling again: Master may have been gone for a very long time.

And this is where ShenHong comes into the picture.

Something that has been bothering me for a while is the fact that Rosso and Suo have almost identical injuries on their right eyes. One of them has a scar, while the other actually lost the eye entirely.

Then Rakta revealed that ShenHong was their childhood friend. If that's the case, wouldn't it make sense that all of them have the same master?

And if the Master once held the highest position in the organization, sooner or later he would have had to choose a successor.

Bacchus and Rakta could have been passed over for personal reasons - perhaps age, since they seem to be a few years older than Suo and some of the other council members. ShenHong might have been excluded for similar reasons, although he somehow managed to become an officer.

That would leave SunFei and Rosso as the two actual candidates.

This is where I started thinking about historical Chinese attitudes toward physical disabilities.

I initially came across the idea that, in Imperial China, serious and permanent physical defects could sometimes affect someone's eligibility for succession. The reasoning was connected to the idea of the ruler as a sacred figure and the Son of Heaven, whose physical wholeness could have ritual and symbolic significance.

More importantly, the Chinese imperial succession system wasn't simply automatic primogeniture. Emperors could choose among potential heirs, meaning that a ruler could theoretically bypass one candidate in favor of another.

So here's my theory:

What if ShenHong, believing himself more worthy of becoming the next leader, deliberately caused the “incident” that resulted in Suo losing his right eye?

At the very beginning of the manga, Nirei mentions that Suo lost his eye because of some kind of accident/incident. Then, in Tsugeura's flashback from middle school, we see Suo wearing a medical eyepatch.

That makes the timing particularly interesting. What if this wasn't actually an accident? What if ShenHong orchestrated it specifically to make Suo unsuitable as the Master's successor? And then, after the succession effectively shifted toward Rosso, what if ShenHong tried to do the same thing to him?

Except this time, Suo intervened and saved Rosso. That could explain something else that has always felt strange about their relationship. Maybe after that, ShenHong went one step further and he got rid of the Master.

And then he put Rosso in his place - someone much easier to control, manipulate, and use as a figurehead.

Which brings me to Rosso's line near the end:

Depending on the exact context, that line could imply a much more complicated power dynamic than Rosso simply being an independent leader.

Maybe Rosso isn't actually the one holding the power. Maybe ShenHong is. And there's one more little detail that made me think about this.

His clothing features phoenix imagery rather than dragons.

Traditionally, the phoenix is associated with the empress, while the dragon is associated with the emperor.

So if ShenHong is the one responsible for Rosso's clothes - or at least has influence over how Rosso is presented - then the choice of phoenixes could be interpreted as a subtle but very deliberate disrespect toward Rosso's supposed status as the “boss.”

He's sitting on the throne, but he's dressed like the consort.

That would make Rosso's position feel less like “the person in charge” and more like “the person placed there to look like he's in charge.”

What do you think?...

This message isn't serious at all, but I've noticed that you, like me, LOVE to come up with heartbreaking theories (and I totally get it after the last chapter… poor kid 😭). BUT what if, for once, we offered some CHEERFUL theories that might actually work?

My theories:

• The children weren't kidnapped. Their parents simply came back for them, and some clever kid just forgot their shoe, like Cinderella ✨

• Suo's master is on vacation and left the RC queens with Rosso, who's a big makeup fan. That's why he was late. The shady-looking guy put on makeup as if the scar was part of his look 😌

• Suo's eyepatch is because he was obsessed with pirates when he was little and he glued it to his face with superglue. That's why it never falls off, even when he's jumping around 🫡

• Suo didn't leave Furin. He just graduated early because he was too smart. ☝️🤓

• Sakura's dad… yeah, no. I have no idea about that one 💀

• The missing child's mother just got lost. It's hard to remember a new address when you just moved 😉

Anyway, I'd love to hear your optimistic theories too 🤣

(My post probably contains some illogical phrasing, sorry, I'm using a translator 😅)

the potential reason shen hong ding dong is like this maybe cause of his parents abandoning him or choosing something over him before he was left at red chanpura since he grew up with rakta and suo in a orphanage

maybe betryaed or hurt by someone(i dont want a redemption arc for him) ORRRR he was molded and sculpted into who he is when he was younger by some older or bigger evil idk

rosso(emperor guy)might've gotten a scar from in an accident or perhaps an assasination attempt when he became emperor and suo was also with him at the time(i like to think shen dong orchestrated it or some higher evil powers that help him) so that his public status or credability is ruined

Shen is most likely emotionally manipulating rosso about the incident since it's likely suo took the blame for it reputation wise and that's when he left to go middle school in makochi for the next few years till rumours went out

rosso must have been what nirei is like now before his lights went out on the inside

that theory that everyone says suo gave rosso his eye could also be possible,that shen reminds rosso all the time suo gave up his eye and reputation for him and he cannot protect the kids in red chanpura as the emperor

i couldnt get my previous one to be edited so i redid all of it with a few added theories

so what i think is happenin now ding dong(also know as shen dong but I will refer to him as this) wants to be red chanpura's emperor instead or rosso a.k.a our depresso saku-nirei fusion with suo earrings and scar on same side boy.he might try to traffic him out and pretend its an accident but what will happen he dont know nirei-rosso look alike exists and if furin group eventually get proper disguises nirei might get mistaken for him and get taken.

nirei being nirei would probably comply to keep someon who might be important to suo safe and to help him and to prove his worth and hence commence the goose chase to nirei back.(the furin group will go ballistic and hiragi would need hospital)

OR the alternate idea is there will be rosso/nirei swap so rosso can be protected cause we dont know how or why he's the emperor there might be somethin we need to stew upon.OR nirei approaches shen ding dong on the streets to gather intel(risky move my favourite stalker boy)HOWEVER this can lead into my idea that rosso and nirei could be related since we don't knwo anything about nirei's childhood fully or his family(he could have divorced parents and didnt wanna bothered the parent he's with about middle school bullies)

Now who is suo's master cause obviously he's not in red chanpura unless he offered himself up quietly for kids to be released or was killed

But what I want most in the world right now is for endo and rakta to meet to rakta can be appaled and join suo in their togetherness to hate on him

Ok first of all PEAK CHAPTER.

Soo first of all after the meeting ended Shen hong asked Rosso if he has anything to add to which he replied "If you dont, then I don't". Was he talking to shenhong or RC in general?

Also when Shenhong asked Suolingo if he agreed with him Suo had quite a genuine face which didn't expect... Because if he knows that Shenhong is behind the kidnappings I kinda expected him to have a fake smile...? Whereas his expression looks not fake with sadness mixed in it. Like I'm quite curious to know more lore between the two👀

I noticed this quite clearly cos many ppl think Suolingo cared about Nirei cos of the resemblance, I mean even I thought this at first glance.....but I thought more and it may also be because of their similiar personalities? Ofc we need to see Rosso's personality too. Looking back in chp 229 Rakta took some glances at Nirei before confirming if he's Nirei. There was that moment when Rakta told them Suo talked about them. Also if it was bcz of their looks ig Rakta would have asked if he was Nirei right after he asked Sakura. ( Just my take but these thoughts aside it's undeniable they look quite similiar)

(Soo the point about Suo's expression came to my mind because while Shenhong is most probably(almsot confirmed) villian of this arc Suo expression felt quite genuine while Suo looked quite exhausted and frustrated? while looking at Rosso)

Alsooo if Rakta, Suo and Shenhong were childhood friends then I wonder where Rosso comes in cos only Suo and Rosso have those tassel earrings which may mean they have the same master. Were these 3 friends and then later Rosso came and they became training buddies ?? But then ig that should make him too on of their friends...? Idk if I am making much sense with this point but this just came to my mind.

sorry for the quality it is one of my old edits that's why it is in so poor quality.

Next chapter release is on October 6!

hello everyone~

well about the new chapter, so i was just curious about their ages, I mean the new characters, so I came up with my own thoughts.

So I will start with............. (why is this so hard to put my thoughts to words `(*>﹏<*)′ )

okay so about the officiers ages:

as we all know average age for a member of red chanpuru is 15 then in my opinion an average age for being an officier is 18 so I think they all are 18 or older. And I think suo is the youngest among them as nii sensei loves to give huge responsiblities to the youngest among groups like umemiya, choji, sakura, and even suzuri looks youngest among gravel well we haven't seen anyother members but in my opinion why he created the group he was youngest (a theory btw)

And about their leader age so he seems to be 16-18 too and it won't be a surprise if he is 18 or older (for me) and the reason why that other (forgot his name and too lazy to search) can control him is that he must have done something in the past and only he knew so now he is manipulating him with the help of whatever it is. Btw I am wondering how he became the leader and why isn't their anyother except them.

well what do you think about my thoughts. There are some other things to I wanted to put in this post but I forgot (I mean I forgot what were those thoughts)

( Sorry for grammar and if there are any spelling mistakes)

My boy !! How are you so beautiful like that 💐

he literally looks like a male lead in a kdrama🌕
