Just had a thought,

What if Senju reminds us so much of young Mikey is because she tries to imitate him? Her every action and way of fighting is deliberate, made with a sole thought process of what Mikey is?

No, this is not the shipper in me talking rather I have a feeling this is for Haruichiyo.

Now, this might get a bit messy and my thought process is all over the place, so forgive me if it turns out to be confusing.

When we first meet her – she explains her sole objective is to take down Mikey and in turn Kanto Manji Gang. As we move further into the manga, we also get to know that her current Vice-President is her eldest brother and the current Vice-President of KMG is her second brother. There are still many mysteries around these siblings – so I think Senju had rightfully called themselves as the “Three Mysterious Siblings” (Ch 216)

In the same chapter we also get to know this – even after all these years, Senju is hung up on her second brother – him not acknowledging her, even if Takeomi supports her, Sanzu is not interested in Brahman or regarding her as the leader. She had a wishful gaze as she explained that to Takemitchi. (Sad?)

The recent chapter (ch 263) we also saw that Sanzu had an air of admiration towards Mikey (ripped mouth or not); That means in current timeline (2008) it’s been almost seven eight years of Sanzu obsessing over Mikey. I think when this phase started, he started neglecting everyone who was not upto Mikey’s standard. Since Mikey was taken by Strong individuals then, Sanzu also only acknowledged those who were strong (probably).

Ch 241 states Sanzu was the one who spent most time with Senju; with Takeomi telling him to set good examples for her to follow, even though he got scolded for that sometimes – he was still nice to her. Idk how many people can relate to this, but we all have one favourite sibling we are closest to; we share everything with them and forgive for anything that they do wrong – I think for Senju that sibling was sanzu. She admired him, loved him and wanted him to be with her always.

We saw how derailed Takeomi was after Black Dragons disbanded, it’s okay to say he was not much around, she had only Sanzu to cling onto.

So, when things started to go astray and Sanzu’s admiration towards Mikey grew to the point where he left his sister (Again, I don’t think the whole plane incident was the only reason for their estrangement) – From the way Senju saw it, only Mikey or someone Mikey-like will be able to get Sanzu’s attention.

She started with Strength – Practicing and fighting with Waka and Benkei; thinking of starting her own gang. Trying to look like Mikey.

But her most physical appearances have also resembled early 2005 Mikey, before thing’s started to actually go down the hill for him. I think this is also because, Senju only interacted with Mikey when they were younger, when he didn’t have to shoulder deaths of his siblings and friends.

I think she kept tabs on Toman for a while – don’t know for how long though. But it was definitely till Sanzu became Vice-captain of 5th Division. From where I see it, there was a time when even Mikey had no handle on Sanzu, making Senju worry about his well-being and that made her keep an eye out for him and in turn for Toman. But when he settled into the role of Vice-captain, she kinda stopped? Or had other things to deal with maybe (most likely starting Brahman).

So, when we encounter her in in 2008, the info she has about Toman is that it disbanded, and Mikey instead started KMG – Brahman was a part of this from the start.

But in spite of her trying hard, being regarded as someone who could stand on the same plane as the “Invincible Mikey”; she still failed to get Sanzu to notice her. I think one of the reasons to join Toman 2.0, apart from Takemitchi convincing her, was also to have a chance to talk with Sanzu and get her brother back.

She tried to talk him out of fighting, ready to lose the fight, to leave the whole sibling rivalry thing, but we know what went down after this (I really wanted to snap at sanzu here the way mitsuya did with Taiju that time)

Because, honestly, the more I look at senju, the more she looks and sounds like Mikey (at the same time not, she has this distinct characteristic about her that I just can’t place but it’s there that makes her unique in her own way, but that’s beside the point)

Anyway, that about sums it up.

Toodles!
