OP

I have an MA in postmodern lit. I LIVE for this stuff. A manga where stuff like that is slightly more blatant would be amazing to me. I already get a big kick out of how Musashi doesn't buy Hiruma's crap at all. His powers do not work here~

To me it's only conspicuous if a Devilbat's home life isn't shown. They operate under more Real World rules than characters with less screen time. I mean Harao we see like twice, right? And Banba's the character who ends up being more important. So he's less ridiculous.

It just bugs me that they seem to have had something in mind when his dad shows up to the match, especially when some of Hiruma's characterisation has been associated with fatherliness. It comes back to the idea that he EARNED something. When the other players start to get their family to the games, we always learn a little bit about those dynamics. There's so much the author and artist seem to have had in mind there! Did you ever notice that Kuroki's prolly mixed-race? And Monta's mum's young enough that the anime seems to find her scandalous, and cut her scene? Ishimaru's the eldest of five siblings! The Ha Brothers have names which imply their birth order corresponds to the order they shout HAH to things in! The creative team were having so much fun with details for the Devilbats. I can't think they didn't have SOMETHING in mind with Hiruma, and he's got precious little mystique left by the end of the story.

Anyway, for now, gotta go to bed. I don't live in your time zone. :P
