The tip-off for Tsurugi was that Tendou
wasn't
acting like a massive asshole to him, which is really sort of sad?

My absolute favorite Another Tendou touch is, when he's leaving La Salle, he gives a cute little Bye-Bye wave. It tells you literally everything you need to know about what type of adversary he's going to be.

I'd be curious to see how this would have played out if the actress hadn't stepped away from the series. I do like how Hiyori's absence has been driving Tendou to more reckless behavior, but I've also missed having her around.
I'd have to think they wouldn't ever have done this storyline, Hiyori's disappearance, if the actor had been a full-time cast member. The only way this story works is if she's gone for a dozen episodes, and you'd only do that if you had to. I imagine we'd've gotten a different arc for her entirely. Possibly with a much later reveal for her being a Native!

My headcanon has been that Tendou's grandmother is Jiiya, and neither of them think it's worth mentioning. I mean, Jiiya comes from a family of greats, Jiiya's known to raise children who think of themselves as masters of the world... pretty sure this is going to all get explicated in 49, but you read it here first.
