hyped up 02 was a blast!!!!! here’s an absurdly long liveblog post lol:

i think the biggest thing i noticed was how much cleaner the character animations were!!!! like, there were a lot less excessive movements for the sake of making the characters move and they geared movement to actually suit the characters more!!!!

AND THE INSTRUMENTAL ARRANGEMENTS ON THE SONGS WERE REALLY COOL

something that was sending me the entire time all 18 rapping boys were on stage was how saburo had to like duck into eyesight lol he’s too short to be behind both ichiro and juto like that lmao

during hangout, we had bb and mtc on stage for their two verse ofc and bb were going hard dancing to mtc’s verses like SAME bros lol

the first group of mcs were rosho, gentaro, ichiro, rio, jakurai and hitoya and yes hitoya was grumpy for the majority of it lol

i felt so bad for rosho tho lmao!!!!! he got stuck next to gentaro and gentaro made sure to troll the everloving fck out of him!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭

rosho was feeling nervous like usual and gentaro was ramping up to give him likely terrible advice lol but rio the king interrupted him (gencha was miffed lmao) and suggested gaining hype from the crowd and the six of them had the crowd raise their lights at their call

so ichiro: alright!!! let’s see that buster bros red!!!!!

the crowd: *raises their light wands changed to red*

and each person did that for their team

EXCEPT MFING GENTARO WHO TREATED US TO A SASARA IMPERSONATION AND CALLED FOR DH ORANGE AND THEN FOR FP YELLOW

jakurai compared the changing lights to magic wands 🥺🥺🥺

CRIES AND THEN HITOYA SKIPPED OVER ROSHO SAYING THEY SAW DH ORANGE SO IT WAS HIS TURN LMAO 😭😭😭😭😭😭

hitoya’s impressed whistle afterwards 😳

lol!!!! and then rosho absolutely snapped and went into teacher mode and commanded that stage and got his dh orange 🤗

and jakurai after rosho was done: but being scolded by a teacher felt very nostalgic 🤗🤗🤗

dh’s turn was right after that and we got to see rei swoon because of rosho’s teacher mode and then he and sasara did a lame student/teacher bit using toilets as the pun and i hate the both of them

the full bodied laugh rei and sasara did was adorable btw 🥺🥺🥺

rei’s 3d model makes me mad because obviously he has a big 🍆 he��s a big man. but his model makes it very obvious lmao 😭😭😭

btw!!!! by the end of this live, rei will have scammed two people

bat were up next and jyushi and hitoya sure were ready to ignore their leader this time as well lmao

HELLA AWESOME BANQUET FCKS WITH LIVE INSTRUMENTS AND I MAY AS WELL SAY ALL OF BATS MUSIC WERE MADE FOR ACTUAL INSTRUMENTS

YALL THEY LET JYUSHI AND HITOYA ACTUALLY DANCE IN THIS 3DCG LIVE

JYUSHI NOW WITH 1000X MORE RHYTHM AND FLOW IN HIS DRAMATIC DANCING HE WAS REALLY PRETTY

THE HIP THRUSTING IN HELLA AWESOME BANQUET FROM THE CROSS A LINE LIVE RETURNED IN THE 3DCG LIVE

they sang batfs next and you know the part before the last chorus where kuukou brings in jyushi and then hitoya next??? well with jyushi, kuukou did that thing where he crouches low and slithers up like the dragon he is but he did it practically along the length of jyushi’s body and i!!!!!!!!!!!!! i!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it’s probably just older men simping hours from me rn but hitoya’s model help!!!!! his hips and butt help!!!!!!!!!!

hifumi was the first victim to a rei scam as he walks out on stage without his jacket from word by rei 😔✊

hifumi’s dancing is so much cleaner 😭😭😭 like last live his moves were visibly dated and now they’re like,,,,,, idk how to say it but the way he moves feels more like hifumi ;w;

hifumi: *magical girl transforms into his jacket*

jakurai: 😊👏👏👏

the way hifudo be moving across the stage while jakurai gracefully gestures is always just nice to watch lol

posse were cute today too 🥰

gentaro is another one whose character animations were improved 😭😭😭 he’s graceful like the jakurai parallel he is but significantly more animated with that gentaro flare of his i’m sorry i don’t have the words ever to articulate this 😭😭😭😭

idk what it was they added to torima get on the floor but whatever it was made the song even cuter lol

they did some choreographed moving for shibuya marble texture and my heart was screaming crying throwing up help

i will never stop laughing at the way juto struts with his mic out lmao

RIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🥰🥰💕💕💙💙💙💙💕💕💙🥰🥰🥰💙💕💕💕🥰💙💙💕💕💕🥰🥰🥰🥰💙💕💕💙💕🥰🥰💙💕💙🥰💕🥰

rio moves like an action superhero lmao i love him

the way samatoki would swipe at his bottom lip and then grin at the crowd 😭🙏

scarface was fantastic to watch btw samajuto after the first chorus were a VIBE and the way rio put his whole body into his singing verse YALL

AND THE CROWD CLAPPING AT SAMATOKIS ROACH LINE LOL

bb played iwbp and iwgp for their first set and i wasn’t okay lol that is a criminal back to back 😩👌

JIRO REMAINS AN ABSOLUTE DELIGHT TO WATCH LOL

AND SABURO IS STILL AWKWARD BUT HE IS IMPROVING GOOD FOR HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he’s also still just incredibly cute in these lives he’s so happy!!!!!! happy saburo here to give us jams and jam with us!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏

it’s not weird ichiro’s the least animated out of his bros but it was an adjustment lol

do not think ichiro wasn’t getting down tho because he was lol

there was some excited jumping in iwgp and their jumping height from highest to shortest was: jiro saburo ichiro lol

there was also some synced moving from jiro and saburo when ichiro was center that was really cute i think saburo’s coming into his dancing era soon lol

the second group of mcs were jyushi, ramuda, saburo, juto, doppo, and sasara!!!! ramuda got them to play charades telephone where one does a movement and the next person has to imitate the best as they can and then the cycle repeats

sasara started them off and did this rapid waving thriller dance that doppo felt embarrassed by but did it perfectly LOL

juto: i am NOT doing that

doppo: iruma-san…….!!!!! 🥺🥺🥺

lol and after juto gets scolded by jyushi and ramuda in the front he taps saburo and does the movement very incorrectly but with gusto LMAO

saburo: wow that’s cringe how are you not dead from embarrassment rn

juto:

lol so they get the crowd to copy their individual chanting and doppo explodes after his. no i will not elaborate

songs started back up and after naniwa paradaishu, rei does another full bodied laugh at rosho’s expense that had him hopping back a few steps at its force 🥺🥺🥺

HHHHHHHHHH THE HEAVY GUITAR THEY PLAYED TO RIP HAD ME GOING FERAL

idk if was just the camera not focusing on hitoya at that exact moment or not, but because of it, it looked as tho kuukou kept drifting over to jyushi during his scared verses 🥺

kuukou after rip: 😈🙏

me: 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫👋👋👋💕💕💕💕💕💜💜💜💜💜💕💕💕💜💜💜💜💜😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫👋👋👋👋

sensei’s movements were more powerful in tomoshibi 😭😭😭

and his bow at the end 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

FCKING STELLA BENEFITTED THE MOST FROM THE IMPROVED ANIMATIONS THEY HAD RAMUDA CRUMBLING DOWN ON STAGE 😭😭😭😭😭

there were no frills no nothing they jumped straight into hunting charm and it was HYPE

re:start had the bros at their most mellow 🥺

OUR FERAL TRIO TOOK THE STAGE AND KUUKOU COMPLIMENTED JIRO BRINGING THE HYPE

lol our last set was kuukou, dice, jiro, samatoki, hifumi and rei

dice is the second person to fall to rei’s scam as he goes on about sending energy waves to the crowd

jiro was vibing hard tho and threw a wave of energy at hifumi and hifumi, like the chad he is, actually stumbled back at the force lol

kuukou was like ❓❓❓ the entire time lol

samatoki, who had been very quiet throughout dice’s thing, finally snapped at dice to shut up and calls rei out lmao

except it’s fun so hifumi sends love energy at the crowd and jiro kicks energy out like a soccer ball lmao

kuukou, despite thinking it’s kinda stupid, caves to everyone having fun and throws out energy with a bunch of flips and kicks and energy sound effects behind him lol

rei eggs samatoki on and samatoki puts his foot down and flexes he doesn’t need to do all their extra stuff and gets the crowd hype with his words alone lol

mayhaps be crying once again that rei’s resting pose is him with his hip cocked lmao

tdd legend was up next!!!!!!!!!!!!! samatoki and ichiro scoffed at each other and ramuda and jakurai focused on the crowd rather than each other lol

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THERE WAS A MOMENT WHERE TDD RAPPED TO EACH OTHER AND SENSEI BENT DOWN AND GOT SOME TWIST IN THAT LEG GET IT SIR

AND THEN!!!!!!!!! UNITED EMCEEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE DISTANCE BETWEEN ICHIRO AND KUUKOU WAS SIGNIFICANTLY SMALLER THAN THE OTHER PAIRS??????

AND THEY REALLY DID JUST KEEP BOUNCING UP AND DOWN AFTER EACH OTHER

AT THE END OF THEIR VERSE THEY SLID BACK TO BACK AND KUUKOU COULD GENUINELY JUST TILT HIS HEAD BACK AND REST IT ON ICHIROS SHOULDER THATS HOW CLOSE THEY GOT

AND AGAIN SIGNIFICANTLY CLOSER THAN THE OTHER TWO PAIRS??????? SENSE OF DISTANCE WHERE??????

KUUKOU WAS MOVING SO MUCH MORE IN THIS SONG FOR WHATEVER REASON LIKE METAL HEADBANGING WITH HIS BODY LMAO

ICHIRO TOO HE HAD SOME HEIGHT TO HIS JUMPS NOW LOL

OCCASIONALLY IT LOOKED LIKE ICHIRO AND KUUKOU WERE JAMMING TOGETHER TO THE OTHERS VERSES HELP

THE WAY THEY POINTED AT EACH OTHER AND THEN WENT BACK TO BACK AGAIN DSAFJKJFSDJKKGAAGJKJFHJ—

*slaps myself* lol they were really hype y’all

the pairs had some parting words for each other as they left the stage 🥺🥺🥺 ramuda and jakurai weren’t very nice lol sasara expressed how it was more fun with them all there and samatoki agreed it was fun with him in his bad boy way (sasara: 😲‼️) and ichiro and kuukou expressed how dope they thought each other’s lyrics were with enthusiastic pointing and fist pumping 🥺🥺🥺

and then the longest encore call began lmao i swear the audience was clapping for like three minutes straight

but summit happened lol

sasara was pretty close with fp in the closing comments 🥺🥺🥺 he and gentaro were playing off of each other and he was chatting away with ramuda 🥺🥺🥺

idk what the conversation was but jyushi and kuukou were chatting to each other during rio’s final speech 🥺🥺🥺 AND!!!!!!!! JYUSHI DID ONE OF HIS FLOURISHES AND KUUKOU TILTED HIS BODY ALONG WITH HIM AND!!!!!!! THEY BOTH SLOWLY SLID BACK INTO PLACE IT WAS SO CUTE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

*coughs* it was a fun time lol

don’t expect any cohesion out of this outta this by here’s my thoughts and speculations on the hypmic guidebook image. i’m sorry. it’s stupidly long.

alright so at first glance, you kinda gotta panic a little because holy cow, very few of the teams are actually together?? bb and mtr are the only two (2) groups actually in close proximity with each other while mtc and fp are all over the place. which is weird since we just got through fp at least reconfirming that they are each other’s true posse and definitely should not be separated right???

big brained twitter users tho came through and it clicked that everyone is separated because their agendas/goals are vastly different from each other, not because of their weak bonds with each other. so lets take a look at where everyone stands with each other

let’s start with the buster bros!!! it comes as a surprise to no one, but the bros are still together since jiro and saburo are largely following after their big bro. i do have a point to mention about saburo, but that’ll come later.

so on to mtc!! save for probably fp, their group has the widest separation. but given each of their goals, it makes plenty of sense. samatoki wants to bring his sister home. juto wants to bring about the end of drugs. rio hasn’t made any grand movements, but he is keeping an eye out on chuohku. different goals, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t one as a team.

fp!! you could feasibly make the bermuda triangle with how far apart they are! fp’s goals, as of now, do align since they are truly together to prevent ramuda from, y’know, dying, but their individual agendas are separate. in a sense. i’ll try to expand on this in a bit.

next is mtr!! much like bb, they are together as jakurai leads them towards his goal and hifumi and doppo follow out of their desire to support him.

and next we have dh!! their placement pretty much follows what went down in their debut drama track, sasara and rosho have been brought together (by rei) and are determined to make it work as they partner up with rei, whose goals are widely unknown, pretty sus and definitely not aligned with sasara and rosho. and to speculate a little about sasara and his placement somewhat behind the rest of the leaders, i think that it’s because sasara has no clear goal as to why he’s participating in the rap battles outside of wanting to be with rosho. he is right where he wants to be, with rosho and doesn’t have any current goals aside from staying with him. at least, none that we know of.

which brings me to bat. and kuukou specifically. but notice, none of the bat members are together as well, and like so, their individual goals are pretty different from each other. hitoya is here to beat jakurai for once in his life, jyushi has a strong desire to overcome himself and to be a stronger person, and kuukou has barely left any room for jesus between him and ichiro because kuukou, similar to sasara, is here for ichiro. this is my personal headcanon, but i do believe that kuukou actually remembers that ramuda was the one who hypnotised him into breaking things off with ichiro. neither one have forgotten the other (e.g. ichiro naming his new team after his duo with kuukou, kuukou at the end of the bat debt drama track saying “wait for me, ichiro...!”) so i do think how close kuukou and ichiro are reflects their mutual desire to be together as a team again.

another nifty thing i noticed was that there’s a divide amongst the cast, split straight down the middle. you can see it with how gentaro/jyushi, doppo/saburo, samatoki/ichiro, are back to back. and on each side, you have one person posed unlike the rest of them; on the right you rei in the back facing away from everyone. on the left, ramuda sitting on the ground. so, i propose that this divide shows who has goals against chuohku, and those who, while not on their side, are entrenched in chuohku’s plans.

ramuda, as we know, has the biggest chip on his shoulder when it comes to chuohku. they kinda found a replacement for him in his enemy jakurai, discarded him, left him die, that sort of thing. if anyone wants to see chuohku burn, it’s him. anybody on his side of the picture has goals against chuohku.

ichiro intends to ‘break the wall,’ to topple the chuohku regime and his brothers are right by his side with kuukou there with him as his partner, as previously mentioned. again, we don’t know yet of sasara’s goals outside of being with rosho, but in ‘ahh, osaka dreamin’ night,’ rei’s verse states, “teacher, comedian, doctor, lawyer- Those who are being looked up to as pros are all swindlers,” so there is something going on, not only with sasara, but also with rosho. jyushi is kinda unknown, though ramuda expressed quite a bit of annoyance dealing with him at the end of the bat debut drama track. rio is out here with prior knowledge about plot points such as the hypnosis canceller, in cahoots with former military and hacking into chuohku databases all with an illegal gun strapped to his back. like some of these homies wish they had the balls and the initiative.

as for the right side, rei is the definition of an anti hero. he’s not on anybody’s side, he working with whoever has the power to get his goal done. and that’s on par with anybody on his side of this picture; everybody here is balls deep in chuohku shenanigans, whether they want to be or not.

samatoki’s whole schtick is to free his sister from chuohku. as we’ve seen in the finale of the tdd manga, samatoki will willing go along with whatever and burn any and all bridges if that means his sister is safe. jakurai is likely on this side due to chuohku doing their damnest to get jakurai within their grasp so they can harness the true hyponsis mic’s full potential using jakurai’s healing ability. and where jakurai goes, doppo and hifumi would be loathe to leave him alone. juto maybe be a cop, but it’s implied he is a high ranking one given his change in outfits from tdd canon to present time (from a cop uniform to a crisp suit.) he’s high enough on the ladder for ichijiku, japan’s #2 big boss lady, to know of his work and to be summoned to aid nemu, another high ranking chuohku officer, in an arrest. hitoya, dice, and gentaro are all vague in connection. hitoya, however, is again part of rei’s callout verse as mentioned earlier, so he may be a swindler in the sense of not unwilling to work with chuohku to further his goals (defeating jakurai) and maybe making some hard cash. gentaro is shady as hell; he seems to be connected to a group called plunderer, which chuohku has control over. as for dice, hypmic likes dropping hints that he’s related to otome.

i mentioned i had an observation about saburo, and without getting too into character analysis (ichiro/rei/saburo similarities as people), it’s interesting to note saburo is on the border of this divide and the closest to rei, which could be a play into where we left saburo, questioning ichiro, after the events of helter skelter.

last general observation! with all the speculation i just dropped, the majority of characters that tie directly to chuohku are hanging in the back. we have rei, gentaro, juto, dice, and rio. i thought it was a neat detail, but it struck me as weird that ramuda was way in the front when he’s probably the most direct result of chuohku existing. but... it’s not like the leaders aren’t tied directly into chuohku. they were chosen by chuohku to be center stage in battles meant to appease the general populace into focusing their aggression on each other.

so looking at the pic again, i noticed a kind of... border??

the ones with obvious connections made a circle. i say obvious and included hitoya and rosho into this because of rei’s verse that i mentioned before. so i’m wondering... does jyushi have some stakes involved in chuohku?? he is a little further into the middle than gentaro, but he’s in line with juto?? this may be a case of over analyzing, but i did point out ramuda’s strange comment about jyushi being annoying to deal with which could randomly come back at any point in the story. or not lol. anyway i’m done, thanks for coming to my ted talk it was as long as an actual ted talk

#this is vee speaking #like christ i am SORRY this got to be so damn long #fortunately ive literally said everything ever in this word vomit post #so i dont have to spread in the tags #lol i did want to apologize for my ichikuu bias kinda coming out #c: rapping boys
