there's so much i love about the arb high school au event but i think one thing i'm going to be chewing on forever is the fact that like

when they had the tug of war competition. ichiro vs samatoki. it ended up as a draw because they pulled so hard they ripped the rope in two

and that's funny but also

we find out this is. ichiro's dream. literally even in his dreams. he doesn't beat samatoki when they have their silly little fights. and he doesn't lose to samatoki either

in his subconsciousness they're equals (even in the same year, at the same school) and that's just. i mean obviously arb is not meant to be taken seriously lol but that's a fantastic bit of characterization imo, even character development

because it's a huge, obvious change from tdd era when ichiro only idolized samatoki, it's so significant and important for him to reach this point where he does actually see samatoki as an equal

anyway. very happy with this event as if that weren't already obvious lmao

#crab plays #hypmic #arb #yes i'm definitely losing it over the cardigan sweater paws part of the dream #but it's more than just that!!#the way the 'conflict' unfolds is just so. chef's kiss #both because it shows ichiro thinking of them as equals #AND shows him thinking of their feud as just. fucking absurd lmao #also rei completely failing to hypnotize rosho is the funniest thing ever to me lolllllllll happy birthday ya old loser
