I wish Zac and Ukyo had interacted properly in canon

They have a lot of the exact same mannerisms but NOT quite the same personality type. They have Two Very DIFFERENT Personality Types that just end up visually presenting extremely similarly. It’s Fascinating™

They are both Extremely Performative...with Ukyo it's because he's apparently awkward and nervous unless he plans out how to present himself in every specific situation ahead of time, and with Zac it's because he just loves attention and thinks lying is funny. But since that same outward appearance of Narcissism and Fussing Over Appearances is there, I think Zac would probably assume that Ukyo is Just Like Him. Specifically, I think Zac would see Ukyo as a threat...until he realized that Ukyo actually fucking HATES The Spotlight™ and is in no way a potential Attention Thief lmao, he is not Akira V2. Being Adored In Public By A Huge Crowd Of Strangers is too unpredictable and overwhelming and Ukyo would be fucking terrified of that because he can't do improv to save his life. His confidence goes up in flames as soon as unpredictability is involved, he’s allergic to Being Too Known, put the ninja back in the nearest dark corner so he can Lurk and Observe. Meanwhile Zac fucking thrives on improv and chaos is his lifeblood. There’s just a night and day difference at the core of their behaviour, in spite of the end results looking visually identical. They manage to have so many similarities in spite of being functionally polar opposites.

I also think Ukyo might be Very Intrigued by Zac, because Zac LOOKS like what Ukyo WANTS to be. That’s a guy who flawlessly presents himself Elegantly And Confidently under metric tons of social pressure and public scrutiny. Zac doesn’t get shy and short-circuit when something surprising happens or Too Many People Look At Him. In fact, it only makes him More Powerful. I feel like Ukyo might Stealthily Ninja-Stalk Zac for awhile, trying to Learn His Secrets and understand how he does it, and I feel like Zac might actually notice him because Zac is pretty sharp and is also probably used to getting tailed around by fans lmao.

It would just be such a fun thing to see these two Experience Eachother's Existence and I'm so sad we never got that. There are so many Possibilities. They would either absolutely adore eachother after a Dramatic Initial Misunderstanding or Zac would destroy Ukyo immediately and I am not sure which. Control Freak vs Chaos Demon FIGHT
