machimiyas backstory was just a *little* bit shy of being good. i feel like if they established in his backstory that he had a history of anger issues/a jealous streak it wouldve made more sense than him turning from good boy to demon over a water bottle. it just seems so petty.

HE COULDVE BEEN SO MUCH BETTER AND THE CONFRONTATION W ARAKITA WOULDVE HIT SO MUCH HARDER bc it wouldve drawn parallels to how a confrontation w fukutomi caused their lives to go down completely diff paths and arakita taking years of frustration and turning it into something +

good vs machimiya who used that to wallow in his own misery. but it wasnt like that. he was just some dude who held a grudge and his personality did a 180 bc of a water bottle. ANYWAYS his design slaps and his riding styles hardcore but if he wasnt a creep to kanzaki id love him.
