I wasn’t quite sure where and into which situation I wanted to re-spawn these two guys. I wanted to give them something of a happy ending, but somehow relevant to their established personalities. The obvious choice was combining them with some other pair of twins (as additions or replacements)…but that still left me with a huge amount of choice, since there are so many pairs of twins in popular fiction.
So, yeah…you see were that line of thinking got me. Adding them as brothers 7 and 8 to the Matsuno sextuplets seems like a fitting send-off: the number of potential combinations is immense, even for people with such febrile imagination as the twins. And the Matsuno sextuplets are canonically questionable with regards to morals, so there won’t be any obstacles from that direction. Plus, it’s much more plausible for parents to happen to forget about 2 of 8 kids than 2 of 4, obviously. Especially since they all would have looked identical during the Showa era*.
With that, we can forget about the twins…and we’re probably better off if we do, since imagining in detail…well.
Obviously, though, nothing of this explains what actually happened, but we’ll get there…
More on Monday.
* Due to animation mistakes (or, more realistically, animation economies) there are actually a couple of scenes in the old Osomatsu-kun anime that did depict or implied 7 or even 8 Matsuno sons.
Next is the Queen, right? I would not be surprised, if the Queen joins the main cast. After all, she fits a role that was vacant since departure of good Professor: a dumb muscles. You don’t agree? Don’t you remember her actions with the Infinity Gauntlet? Old biff would be jealous of that amount of “all power, zero brain.”
Yeah, the Queen is up next – and I’ve sent her down a slightly different route than you’re suggesting.
Which isn’t to say she might not join the main cast at some point, although it wouldn’t be in the brawler part. It’s true she acted like that during the final battle, but that was her taking a break from a life of enforced decorum and stifling protocol. It must have felt great to her, but I doubt she could maintain that mindset on a constant basis, once the novelty has worn off. XD
Disclaimer: I was joking. Not sure if you took me seriously. clearing this just in case.
