I might be schizophrenic and interpreting things the wrong way but Ichimatsu’s personality in the first season was perfect and they’ve been slowly neutering him as time has gone on. He had a creepier vibe, and the sadist part of his personality would as pop up as much as his shy side. I can’t find the words to explain but in general, his shyness felt more tsun, someone who’d hide his insecurities with a sinister and harsh aloofness and only reluctantly admit them when he’s cornered and can’t pretend to be deadpan, whereas now his soft side is hardly a secret and it’s very moe. It was the perfect blend. Call it character development or maybe I never really understood his character at all but I can’t say I like the more pathetic helpless Ichi from S2 onwards as much as I did him in S1. It’s nice that’s he’s more open with his brothers and feelings but I don’t think current Ichi would be able to pull off the wet towels scene or taunting Iyami and Chibita to the key to the tiger’s cage.

Didn’t expect you to collage them, thanks for the effort anon. Hard not to agree with tumblrfags on this for once.
