The next to come would be the swordsman (or swords-boy, rather) of Pram Schneider, the blue-haired short boy who's perceived to be so cute and adorable that most people mistake him for a girl. How Desir found him is through the ranked tournament and the overly familiar torture of a fight between a noble and a commoner, being the son of a noble father that he'd never met and taken care of by his commoner mother until her passing. To be expected, Pram starts off being the assumed commoner weakling that he is, until Desir picks him up, trains him, and utilises the last gift from the scum of a noble father of a rapier to defeat his opponent, to which he'd lean towards taking care of everyone, even Desir himself, to the point of being a Tsundere-like child for his affection.
The last of which is also the strongest of the bunch: Azest Kingscrown. Her being Hebrion Academy's school idol is a testament to who she is: the perfect top-excelling student and leading the academy's top Blue Moon nobility-only party but parading around in the Kingscrown name to avoid the anonymity about her: being the heir to the Hebrion throne as the Empire's Crown Princess.
These pathetic attempts at theming are rather obvious if you ask me, but the weird and off-putting themes are less so. As discussed, real examinations of friendship don’t matter. But if that’s the case, then what drives conflict? You guessed it—classic teen melodrama. It turns out both girls like God Yuichi, and both of the other guys like one of the girls, so no one will ever trust one another or be truly in the same boat, and it has nothing to do with any wannabe-deep statements about the nature of greed or the social science of monetary corruption and, instead, everything to do with who wants to fuck who. Even when the first arc ends and our group of established “friends” gets replaced by a new shallow cast of characters to populate the following arc, the conflict STILL continues to erupt and revolve around inserting women into men’s relationships to sow the seeds of jealousy and resentment.
But why is this relevant to weird and off-putting themes? Well, for the same reason it was odd to see the aforementioned live audience vote Tsundere Shiho as being “100% unforgivable” after it was revealed she liked God Yuichi after having dated Glasses Tenji in the past. Glasses Tenji himself (who was the original traitor by the way) explains how he entered everyone into the Squid Game for the purpose of destroying the organization behind the games, and to potentially expose Tsundere Shiho for being connected to them. Why entering the games would lead to either of those things is completely lost on me, but this seems totally reasonable to Glasses Tenji. However, the real can of worms we’re cracking open here is why he suspects her. He suspects her because she “destroyed” his friendship between him and his old BFFs by seducing them and causing them to become jealous of one another.
