What do you think could make Tsukasa cry? From the beginning of the series until now, he has never been seen to cry despite what happens to him, so I was curious to know what you think. I hope you read it and have a nice day! :3
Thank you ^^
If you want to know, what would make Tsukasa cry would probably be the moment he receives love.
When he hears Amane say for the first time that he loves him with every word, when he hears that he is important, when he hears that his sacrifices were things that Amane did not want because what he wanted was to be by Tsukasa's side because he loves him.
He will cry when Amane admits that he will protect him, when Amane hears his calls, when Amane is the one who will hug Tsukasa, and not the other way around.
All Tsukasa needs is love, affection, care. He did everything he could for his brother, even before he met the entity. He asked Amane if he loved him, he wanted to feel that love, but what he received was the opposite.
He is so used to no one liking him, to no one caring about him, that it doesn't hurt him anymore.
Tsukasa know this will happen, he himself said that "Amane won't come, even if I call him"
Why won't Amane come?
He also explains "he's never done it before"
Tsukasa is the boy who was abandoned by everyone, including the person he loved the most. People don't usually like him, he always hears and sees looks of fear and contempt from other people. No one has ever asked him how he was, if he needed anything, no one cares about him.
And he knows this, he's sure of it.
One of the reasons he looks for a reason to "stay".
At the moment he was most vulnerable, he talked a little about what happened to him and Amane, that sad and empty look.
And you see that look shine when Hanako finally shows up to save him.
Then, the shine disappears again when Amane says he saved him "because he was there".
Tsukasa had a little hope here, but Hanako killed it again.
You see some of that hurt reflected when Tsukasa calls Amane selfish, when Nene says she loves Hanako and Tsukasa is handcuffed behind him saying "good for you" in the official translation.
When shortly after that Nene says she hates Tsukasa.
Can you see it?
Nothing negative will make Tsukasa cry because he expects it, because he is used to receiving contempt and indifference.
When you expect hate and not love, the tears dry up.
But when love finally comes to him, Tsukasa will overflow, because he has never dealt with it, he would not know how to react.
I can even see him shocked, in disbelief at first.
Like when Nene JUST hugged him.
He reacted that way with just one hug, so imagine how he will react when the person he loves the most finally admits that he loves him deeply?
He sings in search of a place where he can be happy
Tsukasa is neglected even by the fandom.
I understand that he did a lot of wrong things along the way, but let's remember that Tsukasa is that little baby who spent his days fulfilling Amane's wishes to see him happy.
Little Tsukasa became Yorishiro with this troubled personality because of his union with the entity.
The entity greatly influences his behavior, but he chose to stay by her side because the entity was the only one who could fulfill his wish to save his older brother.
The entity was the only one who stood by him when everyone else turned their backs (even though we know that the entity is also just using him).
All Tsukasa needs is love, affection, kindness, and that will be enough to make him cry.
He is a good boy who suffers unfairly for having chosen to save the life of the person he loves the most.
He didn't do it for himself, he never made wishes for himself, he wasn't looking for any ambition, he just wanted to see his brother happy, even if he didn't feel that he was loved by Amane, he didn't care about that, he just wanted Amane's happiness.
The cost of Amane's happiness is Tsukasa's pain.
If you want to see him cry, truly love him.

Everything about Takauji in this episode was sooooo unsettling and creepy I was gripped in my seat. Would
fav moment so far
There's no way they are just friend
Snufmin in a nutshell.
Two children/teenagers have a pretty Wacky Weekend and discover more about eachother than they could ever think!
Anyway Snufkin and Sniff bodyswap story but Sniff is actually a respectable character with his own depth and is able to be on equal footing with Snufkin as a foil.
This is a theiry my brain has cultivated since watching the 4th episode, since it is a theory, don't take anything I'm saying as fact. it's purely speculation for now.
also apologies in advance, but this will be a wall of text, that is to say, a long post.
So, Each character in the Digital circus seems to have a gimmick of some kind. Ragatha gets hurt by the environment often, Gangle's got her breaking comedy mask, Zooble has their ever-changing parts, Pomni seems to have an existential crisis every episode, and Kinger has his fluctuating lucidity. But what about Jax?
well, in episodes 3 and 4, Jax either didn't get a lot of screen time, or didn't take many opportunities to cause mischief. Hell, in episode 3, Jax vacuumed up ghostly only because that's what he thought he was supposed to do for the adventure. after that Jax didn't get to do much on account of being tied up.
In episode 4, as far as mischief goes he just throws Ragatha in the deep fryer. but before that happens, I think we see the first glimpse of Jax's gimmick. it happens in the first minute of the episode, where Ragatha was helping Gangle learn to throw a baseball. Jax honestly seemed to just want to play a game in the moment, yet when Gangle threw the ball, and he hit it, the ball hit her right in the face. Jax might not have looked apologetic in the moment, but he did seem confused. and when Ragatha went to scold him about it (assuming he did it on purpose), he says "I actually didn't mean to do that".
This is interesting to me because in every other episode, Jax has done something to cause mischief. and said mischief usually involved someone getting hurt, thrown around, or having something of theirs broken.
Here's the thing, I think that Jax deliberately causes this mischief on purpose, because his character gimmick is causing harm to others. maybe when he first arrived in the digital world, he had tried to be nice, maybe even helpful, but those efforts would backfire in a wacky way, ultimately resulting in something or someone getting hurt. in other words, he'd accidentally do something that harmed someone or something important to someone.
I think at first he felt bad about it, accidentally causing harm to others. but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't seem to go a day without hurting someone. and the harder he tried to avoid it, the more others would get hurt. So Jax, seeing the pattern, decided to embrace it. He started deliberately causing mischief, and found that if it wasn't an accident on his part, then he would have a level of control over how much pain he causes. like if he feels he has to cause chaos, at least he can control it to a degree.
over time, I think Jax started to find humor in others misfortune. and it sorta turned into a coping mechanism for the gimmick of constantly having to cause someone else misfortune.
