★Akira exhibiting 中二病/‘Chuunibyou’
(it’s a feat that he doesn’t laugh when everyone else does)
1st segment:
Akira: (dramatic) Damn it… my wrist hurts. It’s probably because I practiced too much yesterday. The real match is after this. If I go on like this, it’ll be bad. (dramatic exit)
Alan: (immediate tsukkomi) What the hell did Akira say so suddenly? Wasn’t he dancing even just now during the opening?
Mizue: (shook by unhinged Akira)
Alan: (forcefully bringing things back to normal) But Akira loves gaming, so I believe he’ll channel all his passion into these matches.
2nd segment:
Miura(plays: Higekiri opposite Akira’s Hizamaru in Touken Ranbu) and Akira have a ‘phone call’ on stage. As the ‘senior’ role, Miura gives Akira encouragement and ‘sends’ him a special item which would help him win the games.
Special item reveal: wrist bandage [Stage sound effect]
Alan: (entering tsukkomi mode) Don’t play the ‘don!’ sound effect here.
Akira: (entering into chuunibyou mode again) Not bad.
Mizue: (second hand embarrassment, curling and cringing, still elegant af)
Alan: That ‘call’ was live from Fukuoka? The whole conversation was a bit off; I wonder if it’s the fault of an unstable line, or Akira’s fault.
MC: (laughing) Please don’t investigate this any longer.
Mizue: (still recovering)
Alan: For the wrist band to arrive only now though, would it be too late for the team?
Akira: (dramatically caressing wrist band)
Mizue: (recovered) Well, it was a good scene. But at the start Akira’s reactions to Miura were kind of stilted; like “ah I see”.
Alan: (agreeing)
Akira: (sweetly) Oi, I can hear you.
Alan: (cutely) Yes?
★Alan challenging Akira to the rhythm game
(even though everyone knows this is a suicide move)
Alan: “In this Actors League battle, Alan’s ‘A’ or Akira’s ‘A’; only one of us A’s will be triumphant!”
Also Alan (backstage talk): “I can’t watch myself since I said some big words but lost anyway.”
Akira is known as the undefeatable champion of taiko rhythm game (he can identify the song just by the drum patterns)
Alan who specially practiced on his own until his hands were calloused; but lost anyway (at least he won an MVP for this)
★ Aramaki Yoshihiko outright bribing the game master for points
This is what it means to play a rich kid from a rich school lol
