[ that's what he's always saying!!! he's allowed to have his own life!!!
though at the same time he's kind of like, ugh, being the best out of six nothing-ass pieces of shit is one thing, but being the best version of himself sounds like a lot of work when he knows he's capable of a lot more than he does. his brothers might be the ones who drag him down and get him caught up in their pace, but he also doesn't usually fight it once he's there. it's nice having an excuse to do nothing.
but he's kind of enjoying this praise, so he's not going to ruin it by revealing what lazy trash he actually is. ]
Anytime, man. You need a hype man, I'm here for ya!
[ sure, it's memshare week, not emotionshare, but there's still something almost tangible that radiates off of ichiban that says means that with every fiber of his being.
but hey, speaking of memshare... looks like it's ichiban's turn! when they come out of the rift and back onto the eudora, ichiban... looks a little bashful. not ashamed, for sure, but maybe a little embarrassed at himself... ]
[ god. god!! that earnestness is so cringe, he doesn't know how to deal with it. or how to feel about the fact that he can't even bring himself to look down on him for it like he normally would. it's? kind of nice, actually?? what the fuck.
then it's memory time, and. damn, todomatsu hardly recognizes him like that. sure, the jumping into a gross river part definitely makes it feel more believable, but.
he just kind of Looks at him afterward like, how are you a real person???? you're more anime than he is, and he's a literal anime character!!!! ]
Okay, you got me there. It is a little humbling though, haha... people say it's cool or crazy of me to be like this, but I'm just being me. I know the world is a mess, but man, is it really that wild for someone to care?
[ kind of sighs because he doesn't really want to talk about them that much, but then— back into the void quick for a very brief second memory (04:13 - 05:20), both because it shows all six of them in a row and because as a modern day earth dude ichiban is one of the only characters in this game who will be able to appreciate this clip and i can't NOT use it.
Could've been some kinda secret code they used in front of you guys... I doubt they would've actually discussed anything in plain words in front of civilians like you in the same room, you know?

...Kind of?
But I think it's also a little bit, like... first-glance gap moe. I don't think anyone expects an ex-Yakuza guy to be that wholesome.
