Ah you are both right. Thank you for clarifying something I should've known. This made me think how it's so interesting comparing everyone else living with past trauma, Chikane was currently living it in the anime run. I just wanted to expand on it but it seems its pretty air tight already. I think even showing the details of the orochi's disciples backstories more closely would be a waste since the message of the show is that somewhere out there there is love for you, so it shouldn't matter how hard you have it.

I was thinking then having an expanding scene on souma's brother being cast out of society. Him being the leader of the orochi because of the world absolutely shitting on him just for protecting his brother could be a nice parallel to chikane's love for himeko. I always liked souma and tsubasa's first reunion and how tsubasa was "pissed" at souma, giving up his life for him only for him to seemingly throw it away for someone else. The line of tsubasa saying "do you know what its like eating food off the floor" is so good, it'd be nice to see a scene about it.
