Like this—opening up space around the line gives it a real “Look! This is the big moment!” feeling, doesn’t it?!

Framing that revelation like it was just any other old line was just so sad for poor Andou. Just because the anime preempted the original novels on the reveal doesn’t mean it’s okay to treat it like an afterthought when the novels do get around to it, does it? Anime is anime and novels are novels, aren’t they?

“What’s wrong, Shizu? You’ve got this really sad look on your face.”

“It’s...nothing. I’m fine. I just suddenly remembered all the times I’ve had new transformations in Kamen Rider and Precure get spoiled for me by an ad before they were revealed in the actual show...”

“Huh. Weird.”

“Hey, Nakki? Is that really how Andou’s power works? The whole thing where he can make hot fire, but it burns him too, I mean...?”

“Yup, sure is.”

Apparently, she was serious. And, honestly? What a meta sort of power it was, when all’s said and done. People with flame-based powers not being burned by their own flames was more or less a given in supernatural battle stories, after all. Of course bathing your arm in flames would hurt like hell in real life, but in the world of fiction, it gets handwaved away, easy as that. Quibbling about why flame-wielding characters’ clothes don’t get burned to cinders is a waste of everyone’s time. When I tried to think of characters with powers that had actually addressed that contradiction in-universe, Genthru was the only one I could come up with offhand.

“Oh, there was one more thing, actually,” said Aki. “I guess the flames he makes with that power never, ever go out, no matter what happens? Like, not even he can put them out, even if he wants to.”

Ooh, now that’s kinda cool, actually! A technique that can’t even be controlled by its own user is chuuniriffic in a really Andou sort of way... Or so I thought for a moment, but the next moment, it hit me that the person who’d be absolutely first in line to get burned to death by said unquenchable flame would be none other than Andou himself. It was a self-destruct skill if I’d ever heard of one. Okay, really, could he have possibly drawn a shorter straw? You didn’t have to commit quite this hard to being the comic relief, Andou! You could’ve stopped ages ago!

“So, how about it, Shizu? Any clue what Hinotama’s up to?” Aki asked, blithely disregarding the fact that she’d just dropped a nuclear-grade spoiler bomb right on my head.

“Oh... Yeah,” I said. “Sounds like she’s mid-battle right about now. She had Akutagawa use his power to help her mess with Andou, apparently.”

“Oh? She got Gawanagi’s help...? Guess that means the other side’s short staffed right about now, huh?”

Whoops. Maybe I should have kept that to myself? Aki’s casual probing had lured me directly into leaking what may very well have been quite relevant information to her.
