Hey, I did see your post about one of the tropes that RonToto has. According to you, aside from "Eating the Eye Candy" trope, what is the other tropes (either underrated or not) that you think RonToto is fitting in, and why?
Dear anon, thank you for this ask. I didn’t forget your ask. Bit of an airhead, I didn’t know where to start.
Anyways, the most obvious of all is Akira’s use of height differences. Tumblr popularised this trope a decade ago to describe two characters with glaring height difference, tol/smol. I don’t think it has to do with being dominant or submissive, but both Toto and Ron have these qualities.
The Red Oni, Blue Oni. In this particular trope, Toto Isshiki is defined as the red oni:
A red oni is associated with passion, wildness, and defiance. A Red Oni character is often more brawny than brainy, extroverted, enthusiastic, determined, and filled with a zest for life. They are also much more likely to break conventions and rules than their counterpart. Often an Idiot Hero or, in more mature pieces, a Boisterous Bruiser. If a Red Oni is indeed noticeably intelligent, they will still be much more wild and impetuous than the Blue Oni and/or with less sophisticated thoughts, feelings, or goals. Generally speaking, they're more people-oriented than goal-oriented (although both Onis can be either). They may or may not shrug off criticism about themselves or their aims and goals, but say or do something nasty to their closest friends and you've just guaranteed yourself a world of pain.
… The Red Oni, while usually the more passionate and emotion-driven, may be the more easy-going and flexible of the two.
On the other hand, Ron is the typical Blue oni.
The Blue Oni is associated with serenity, control and observing authority. A Blue Oni is more intellectual, proud, traditional, introverted, and cultured (sometimes more spiritual, although that's not guaranteed), if a Blue Oni is indeed physically strong, they tend to be Genius Bruisers, with the calm, collected intelligence of a typical Blue Oni character combined with the physical prowess of a typical Red Oni character. Blue Oni personalities are often respected by others, but also likely to puzzle, confound or even intimidate their peers because they are difficult to read and have a mysterious quality to them.
It is also amusing that if you go on reading the trope there’s also a purple Oni. In this particular manga, it could be none other than Spitz Feier.
So far, that’s what I think they are. Subject to change once I find out more tropes. Thank you so much for waiting.

When McQueen goes tearing through the V8 cafe, Sarge freaks out and backs up to the side to get out of the way. Fillmore barely processes what’s happening and doesn’t even open his eyes fully as it happens.
The sixties really weren’t good to him, were they.

Vice Versa ep 12
IT'S THE LAST ONE FOLKS!
So I really did go a bit feral with the theorising over what the last colour theme would be...and it wasn't a complete surprise that it was Crystal Clear since 'transparent' had been suggested - after all, there had been details in ep 11 and throughout the series that hinted towards this.
Anyway, during the ep, this theme of Crystal Clear can been seen in the way Puen and Talay are being open and honest with each other, and with the information they offer to the other universe travellers, and in Talay's honestly to Gyo about his relationship with Puen as well as his drunken confession to Puen. Puen also had to grapple with being asked of his private life - and being told to cover up his relationship (in a 'glass house' of all places) but instead deciding to be transparent about his feelings to the press.
To reflect this, a lot of the colours in the beginning of the ep are pale tones, creams, whites, and greys, or very neutral, with only a few stronger colours here and there.

There were also small bits of red in the beginning, but either just momentary (top left and bottom right below) or subtle (bottom left, with the purple/pink of the plastic covering, or top right, with the letter box and in the car - just look how glorious that pink trumpet tree is, imagine how beautiful it could have been had we seen it in bloom 🌺). This is similar to how the show used red/colours more sparsely in ep 11 as a distinct contrast to the 'colour-world' of the alternate universe. Also I loved that the first time the main background colour wasn't just creamy/white was in the association - a call back to how colourful the alternate universe was:

But then things got interesting. First, alone in the restaurant (apart from the sax player and the wait staff of course), Puen gives the folder and t-shirt to Talay - reminders of their time in the alternate universe - and their world becomes full of colour, albeit mainly neutrals, browns, blues and yellows. The only noticeable 'red' tone, being their pink drinks.
Tumblr media
And second, upon a closer re-watch, I noticed that the ep seemed to be loosely divided into three parts, with each third having it's own highlighted colour...and being bridged from one to the next by scenes infused with a lot of brown - which I'd like to think is because it's showing the seriousness of those moments... Anyway, the first third, as I've said above, is more neutral or pale in tone, and covers the time up until the live-stream interview. The second third covers the time of Puen and Talay's estrangement which followed the interview.
Now, in past episodes where Puen and Talay have had a similar separation - whether physical or emotional - red/pink became mostly absent until they reconciled (ep 6, ep 7, and ep 9). However, in ep 12, they did...wait for it...THE OPPOSITE!...alright...VICE VERSA!! In that, when Puen and Talay were dealing with their separation, we got more blocks of red. First with Puen's manager (embodying the STOP and 'facing reality' interpretations of red) and the pink sofa (also note all the brown!):
Tumblr media
Then with Tou's cardigan (matching Talay's blue on Tup) and the huge red curtains behind Talay, reminders for Talay about the reality of his and Puen's love (which Tou and Tup emphasise in recounting seeing Puen look for Talay):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And with Gyo's pastel pink top (matching the blue in the background) - whose idea to film Talay and get the usb to Puen enabled them to reunite - and Puen's own red top, which he wears during the glasshouse interview and back at his apartment:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Although there's very little visible red when Talay gets caught by the press (only the letter box again), he is stood in front of the pink trumpet tree - which is poignant since he is having to deny his love for Puen when the symbol of their relationship is towering over him (imagine how great this scene could have been if it had been in bloom!).
Tumblr media
But then Puen makes a choice (albeit fuelled by Talay's drunken confession). He goes against the script given to him by his manager and declares his feelings for Talay and intentions with their relationship to the world.
And here we shift into the last third and the predominant colour becomes blue - starting with the press conference, where Puen himself is in dark blue and many of the press also have shades of blue. I love the setting of this with the white face with open mouth behind...and the inside of the mouth being a bright red - Puen is speaking his truth, his reality...and into a red microphone too.
Tumblr media
Then at Talay's home, both Puen and Talay are in blue (and note all that brown again)...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And later again in lighter blues (when their worries are more alleviated), when they visit the last place they were together in the alternate universe...but this time with hints of red/pink in the car as well.
Tumblr media
At the very end, although neither are in pink/red or blue, Talay says that Puen "paints his life pink forever"...I think that we can also read into this later use of blue that the same applies in reverse -> Talay also paints Puen's life blue forever. No?

I love that Tuke and Burling really are, by all accounts, a heart-brains or Red Oni-Blue Oni duo of the more social and emotional guy teaming up with the quieter smart guy. Even their coach says it here, “more happy-go-lucky” vs “more focused”.

It's late, I should go to bed, but I have to talk about this moment. Following all the discourse after ep 3 about the use of blue and red to show the school/the need for rules and ayan/the desire for change on opposing sides, I just about yelled at the screen when I saw the way the director framed this shot of Akk joining Ayan in ep 4. It's absolutely inspired.
Tumblr media
The blue of the walls line up perfectly with the metal fence with the opening into the court/seating matching the red. Akk is coming from the 'blue side', the world of rules and regulations and dos and don'ts, and entering the 'red side', towards Ayan and the desire for change, revolution, and freedom. It's incredible.
