Your gateway to endless inspiration
I’m not going to fact check what I’m saying and this is mainly just speculation, but I noticed something’s that could make things more interesting.
spoilers for Chapter 3 of course
I think Dr. Yonekura was a neglectful mother towards her daughter Okazaki, and didn’t care about her and only worried about how Okazaki’s behavior reflected onto herself.
One thing that the video Regulation Review made clear about their relationship is that Yonekura doesn’t care about Okazaki. I think this is also shown in how Okazaki viewed her ‘rival’ Tsuno.
Okazaki stated that she wanted to kill Tsuno because Tsuno refused to acknowledge Okazaki and acted like she didn’t know her. She was dismissive and acted like she didn’t care about Okazaki until Okazaki started hurting Wada.
I think Okazaki was neglected by her mother, and now hates when people ignore her. Yonekura only cared about Okazaki when she said that Okazaki made a fool of herself.
Okazaki probably started to act out so her mother would acknowledge her and would give her attention, even if that attention was negative. When Tsuno, someone she thought she had a twisted connection with ignored Okazaki like how Yonekura did? Well Okazaki couldn’t just take this injustice.
I’m not saying this excuses Okazaki of all her actions. She’s a horrible person who doesn’t care about others unless it involves herself. But she is so interesting to me and I want to know why she acts like this. Or well, acted like that.
TLDR: Yonekura was a neglectful mother and ignored Okazaki. She would only give her daughter attention when Okazaki did something that made her look bad. Okazaki started doing bad stuff to get her mother’s attention, and then somehow got tangled up with Tsuno and got the idea that they were “rivals”. (Still don’t know about that). When Tsuno ignored Okazaki, she saw that as a personal attack and started acting out in a way that would get Tsuno’s attention, just like she did with her mother Yonekura.
I feel so fucking autistic about this. I was fully convinced that Tamba was the one who killed Tsuno, but this, this was so much better.
Okazaki. I love you so much. During your villain monologue, I was literally kicking my feet while listening to you. You are insane. You are objectively a horrible human being. But that’s why I love you.
You went on such a long super villain rant. I love you for it. I can’t think of a better end to your story. Your ‘rivalry’ with Tsuno was an excellent reveal. I love how cleverly it was foreshadowed by you both being from the same place.
What you did was awful. I will never forgive you for killing Kazutoshi. He was one of my other favorite characters besides you. But it was worth it just because you were so entertaining.
I’m glad I was wrong about it being Tamba, because then you wouldn’t have been so entertaining.
