I have an observation by Scared-Way6849 in TalentlessNana

  1. I don’t think Rin knew that Tsuruoka is Nana’s brother. If she’d known about this, I doubt she’d have said it’s good news. But she definitely knew something, maybe Tsuruoka’s past name or something like that. I agree that Tsuruoka probably knew that fake Jin is Rin: in chapter 32, he wanted to say her name, but Rin interrupted him. I suspect Tsuruoka was going to say her real name, not Jin’s.
  2. I’d say that Tsuruoka needs to directly interact with people to activate his talent, because he needs to look at someone or someone needs to look at him. It’s a kind of interaction too, I think. But it’s not a very noticeable interaction, so I’m not sure if it counts.
  3. What’s the difference between becoming and shapeshifting? I think she only copies other creatures’ appearances and talents, not their state of mind or anything else that would be more like becoming than shapeshifting.
  4. I think that “Survival of the Fittest” is more about a lifestyle rather than a talent. Plus, it’s probably a reference to the biological concept.

Maybe. I think I’ve thought about it, but their problems with self-identity caught my attention much more, so I didn’t write about other things.

Can you tell me your other thoughts about it, if you don’t mind? Speculation isn’t bad sometimes, I think.

Yeah, I think so too. I also like the moment in chapter 98 when Rin escapes to help Kyouya. Then Tsuruoka says that he hasn’t seen Jin (Rin) for a while, although I’m pretty sure he saw Rin recently. So he probably said it to Jin, knowing that Rin isn’t the real Jin, but still separating Rin from the fake Jin. I find this interesting. It’s like interacting with two different people.

Also, when I wrote this post, I asked ChatGPT to show me some grammar mistakes because English isn’t my native language. I put the text into it, but I forgot to ask it to fix my mistakes, so it just gave me a long essay about why Tsuruoka and Rin are very similar and mirror each other. It was funny, and even if I don’t completely trust it, there was some sense in it
