(MINOR SPOILERS FOR RECOLLECTIONS)

personally, i think how they've chosen to portray chougi has given the developers room to write some Delicious character development, especially regarding issues of identity. the entire point of manba's kiwame was his maturation, and that growth is clear in the dialogue differences between his two recollections with chougi. chougi's internal conflict seems to be foil and parallel to manba's: rather than consigning himself to a sense of inferiority, he attempts to assert his superiority -- but, this seems to stem from a deeper fear, a sense that his identity is being threatened. (put into the context of the citadel, where chougi, despite being the first, is not the first, it's not hard to see why he's anxious.) kiwame!manba, confident in who is, uncowed by chougi's blustering, irks chougi, who has not come to this stage of maturation -- he lashes out.

what i'm trying to say is: i love what they've done with chougi. i'm rooting for you, white-haired bishounen buddy.
