Because they have modesty, Switchblade! They wear shirts and pants!

Kotaro being excited about things in general (even when it sometimes seems like a thing that many people would perhaps not be excited by, like here, because really, Kotaro???) and enthusiastic about what he likes is possibly my favorite thing about him

That was an exceptionally thoughtful post, Die. Seeing you find so much to take out of a stretch of a show often brushed aside as being rough, or boring, or whatever else people say when they're insisting Blade takes a while to get good, it's been a real joy, as usual.
Which is why doing this shtick is starting to make me feel more than a little guilty, but, hey, it's important to step back and just laugh sometimes, too, right? Learning Ondul the Easy WEEEEEEI! (#6) Today's lesson covers a couple different things again, so let's get right to it! I have a feeling this one has a particularly hard time coming across the language barrier, but Chalice getting cut off saying "It's time we (settled this)" is weirdly hilarious. He's doing fairly stock rival dialogue and trying to sound tough, but on top of being interrupted, the two words he manages to get out are smashed together into gibberish (kecchaku wo -> kecchako), severely undercutting his cool factor. I wish I could give a more thorough explanation, but that's really all there is to it. kecchako just sounds funny. Like an embarrassing name for a pet or something. I love it. The true Ondul gold in episode 8, however, lies in more melodrama with Dadi, and his further interactions with Karasuma. The latter's "However, I will not apologize" (daga, watashi wa ayamaranai) isn't properly a part of the language, but nonetheless is highly associated with Blade meme culture for the hilarity of it being said directly after Karasuma admits he's at fault for Tachibana's problems, and directly before it becomes apparent he thinks he's being reassuring. Tachibana himself has a few lines that aren't slurred at all, but seem to be accepted as Ondul on the grounds that they're still wildly over the top in delivery. "Chief!" (shouchou!), and "What the hell do you know!" (omae ni nani ga wakarun da?!) being quotes that see a lot of use. |

I love how excited he is to learn something new. Information doesn't have an emotional weight to it with him, it's all positive because it's previously unknown. Karasuma is laying down heavy, troubling info and Kotaro is so excited he can't sit down. It's adorable!

Kotarou's imagination and sense of wonder are just totally undervalued by everyone around him. The guy wants to explore the idea of monkeys ruling the Earth for a second and everyone immediately shuts him down like "Why would you even say something so completely ridiculous and absurd? Please stop interrupting Karasuma's incredibly serious story about the magical ancient trading cards that control the course of human evolution."
Sure, Kotarou can't read the room, but sometimes it seems like nobody else can read what kind of a show they're in.

Spoiler alert for the end of the thread.
Die attempts to marry Tachibana. Is arguably successful.

Tachibana may be a neurotic mess who had one of the most catastrophic disagreements over his employer's health care coverage of all time, but he's still pretty handsome. And, I mean, who doesn't want to help a partner become a better version of themself? Plus, you know he's destined to be a massively popular high school principal and/or weird dude who dispenses Rider powers from a satellite down the line. Either way, Tachibana's going places!
