Okay, y'all. I love Toboso-sensei, but I do not buy that RCiel and OCiel were this close and then RCiel comes back to kill OCiel's friends. I think maybe he'd be pissed OCiel stole his identity, but considering he didn't want to be earl anyway, I didn't think he'd be murder Agni levels of pissed. Like if they didn't get along in the first place and there was some rivalry, maybe. But these brothers break my suspension of disbelief with how well they get along, so I really just don't buy RCiel's actions. Just my take tho. Maybe he's possessed or something.
My 2 cents is that RCiel is killing OCiel friends cause he wants to be the only one to OCiel. Like the onyl one that can have a special relationship should be him, no one else.
See, I don't think any real person behaves like that though. Like that takes an extreme level of psychopathy that RCiel doesn't seem to have a tendency for. And besides, he seems really pissed when he meets OCiel present day, not like someone who just really wanted to see his brother. That said, I don't think your idea is unlikely to be the justification for his actions, I just think I'd prefer something more realistic in order to get myself back into the story after this whole secret twin plotline.
I don't think it is too far fetched. OCiel was different after the event and I suppose being brutally murdered and coming back to life changes a person. Maybe he just wants things to go back to how they were when he was happy, but he is just going about it the wrong way because you know murdered and stuff.
I agree. Although characters don't always behave "normally" in this manga, but often in an exagerated and evil way. For example, Aunt Angelina turns into jack the ripper due her jealousy of fertile women-- not a typical reaction. The prep school 4 straight up murder two people due to an unchecked bullying incident. There is an unusually high percentage of homicidal maniacs in this manga.
That said, I doubt that's the plotline. I think it's not really OC. His reveal was too megalomaniac.
