#if you choose to keep fighting tho? nanami dies. something something 'if i killed this man she'll die'?

im thinking about trigun and suikoden 2 and damn... there are parallels in there

#brb replaying suikoden 2 so i can get screencaps #suikoden 2 #trigun #krispeaks #difference is suikoden 2 has 3 sibling while trigun only has 2 (alive ones) #and um if i talk about riou and jowy to vash and knives first. both of them were always together growing up #until they separate ways to pursue what they believe is the best for the world #they climbed their ways to becoming important people either willingly (jowy & knives) or not (vash & riou) #and of course the legendary rune the chosen ones etc #now nanami is the difficult part because she fits some characters at the same time #yes she's aggresive but she also has vash's reluctance to fight and his pacifism (mostly) #she's like the younger vash and they act (somewhat) more mature than their brothers but also easily swept away #by the nature of the world that required them to fight #BUT. she's also rem. she means something to both jowy and riou although she mostly stays by riou's side #ans she's the biggest influence riou has. he talks to her before making any big decisions and every single time nanami asks him to stop #because theyre kids. they should be able to live normally as children instead of leading an army #which just reminds me of shu what the heck was going on in his mind. these kids were like 16 #so before doing anything riou (and the player) must consider how nanami feels which is why we've got the alt ending of them running away #if you choose to keep fighting tho? nanami dies. something something 'if i killed this man she'll die'? #and even after that she still haunts the narrative. everyone is at loss and even jowy #jowy who was willing to become a villain fighting against siblings to create a better world (eden) for the three of them #ALSO JOWY AND KNIVES LITERALLY HAVE BLADES/KNIVES AS THEIR POWER LOL #vash & riou has healing powers which could burst an attack but they use their physical weapons mostly (ignoring the player attached runes) #also about merilly & ww. they can come together as rina ellie and bolgan #wolfwood offers fortune reading and he still has his cross #meryl is ellie. both of them have too much weapons #millie is bolgan she's just having fun :^) #idk if theyre travelling together but these trio were prob the closest to riou and nanami as cameos in a lot of main quests #also i probably should say ftr i like riou/jowy as a ship but i mostly see their relationship as brotherly #which is to say no k/v here. begone
