gaston26I am thinking for weeks about Touga when before I barely noticed him for some reasons. I found his backstory that only was included in the movie and I would have like Be-Papa put this in the series too. That could have make an interesting episode on Touga and maybe a part of the fandom would stop seeing him as just an asshole who should be kill or something (I get the feeling several fans are projecting all the jerks boys they know on Touga).
The fact Touga was raped for years by his abusive adoptive father make him different from the other council members. Saionji, Juri, Miki and Nanami do stupid shit, but that mostly immature teen stupid shit while Touga is on another level with his manipulations. That also the fact while Miki-Kozue and Juri-Shiori hurts each other, Touga hurting Saionji and Nanami is more one-sided and that because he get abused for some many years what those two can possibly do that can hurt him at this point? That easily to see why he becomes Akio's lacker. He probably crossed the despair evant horizon years ago and has not hope in him so Akio approach him and told him how the world is shit and the only way Touga would be happy is to get power by manipulated and used people.
I also thought about the parellel between him and Anthy. Both are rape victims and get used a lot by Akio. And also they happen to use the two same persons (Saionji and Nanami) as punching bag. I would have liked see their relationship more developed. For what I remember, Touga never abused Anthy (or at least he never slapped her) and Anthy never trolled him, right? Those two minors facts are interesting in hinslight when you know both are rape victims.
