ngl SOMETIMES i get why people doompost about rin's character and development (or lack thereof, though hopefully that'll change soon) that one fansign where knsr said rin wouldn't quit until isagi does and everyone ran with it as "proof that isagi is rin's reason for playing or that rin will spend the rest of his life chasing him" (which is bs imo) it's basically just replacing his sae dependency with an isagi dependency and i genuinely cannot believe shippers love that tidbit so much 😠all i can say is free rin but sometimes it feels like knsr got too lost in the yaoi and has been butchering rin in the process. i don't want him spending the majority of this arc obsessing over isagi and sae either. can't believe not liking how rin's so stagnant and wanting rin to be learn his own person outside of his relationships with these two is such a controversial take in this fandom (the rinsagi shippers get so mad it's almost hilarious)
honestly i just think people need to be patient. it’s hard, because we’ll probably have to wait a year for substantial development, but it will be worth it trust the plvn. ship brain also ruins story discussion, so if you are reading takes from rnis/ allis accounts i suggest you just ignore it because its full of bias. rin and isagi do have an evolman - kaiju rs dynamic, but rin right now is dependent on isagi’s ability to perform (and when isagi goes under rin does as well, because he’s just been bruteforcing bllk with no actual ego) if nagi was starting from 0 rin is in the negatives lol. but if there’s anything to suspect in regards to isagi and rin, their rivalry will remain, but rin will no longer be dependent on him / nor play just to defeat him.
also, even if rin were to defeat isagi, he’d just move onto the newer, shinier stronger target. it’s what i expect will happen between rin and sae during spain.
