Haitani Rindo. One half of the infamous Haitani brothers. The despicable siblings that rule over Roppongi. The-
"Who?"
He blinked. He looked up in disbelief and was met with a pair of eyes that stared back at him with the same amount of confusion.

Fun fact #2: I was worried that I won't have enough content to make for Rindo that I thought I might have to discontinue the book.
Before you say anything, 'almost 50 chapters tf you mean???'. Bro— bro— the Haitani brothers had as much relevance as Hanma: pretty boys who fight for fun. Bc why else were they there for? I remember seeing an instagram comment being like "Wakui really created the Haitani brothers for eye candy" and I'm like really tho 😭✋🏼
So I used as much as I can from Rindo's wiki page to create this book which will be the next fun fact.

Fun fact #3: There were three things I took from his wikipage: he likes DJ'ing and wants to own the largest club in Japan, Kakucho brought him to a Yakuza hideout, and he feels inferior to Ran (I'll talk more about this in Fun Fact #4).
Firstly, I was so shook reading that he likes DJ'ing because that was the last thing on my mind for him 😂 for some reason, it felt so out of character then I saw all the crack TikToks about him being a DJ and I can't unsee it. So I decided to implement that into the story.
Second, Kakucho brought him to a Yakuza hideout and Rindo thought they were going to the gym for training?? Bro?? 😭 What was the reason Kakucho? When I first wrote the story, I had the idea that some guys were after the Haitani brothers, and then I read the whole Yakuza thing and I was like "Oh my god... I CAN USE THAT."

Fun Fact #4: Unlike my Sukuna books where the conflict was situational, I wanted to have the main characters go through some sort of personal conflict.
Again, there wasn't much about the Haitani brothers in the manga, so I found it confusing reading his wikipage that Rindo felt inferior to Ran when it didn't seem that way in the manga. It was something like "the person he's most scared of is Ran" and "he has contempt for being perceived as the weaker brother but takes pride in what him and his brother are capable of".
Similarly, I wanted the mc, (y/n), to have similar problems except with a younger sibling. So what better way to do that then use my favorite trope: talent vs. hard work... Can you tell I'm an Oikawa kinnie? 💀
