Character Arc

Ritsu is Mob's younger brother, and on the surface he is everything Mob is not: confident, popular, top of his class, and admired by everyone around him. Privately, though, he is haunted by the fact that he has no psychic powers of his own and quietly envies the gift his gentle older brother takes for granted.

When Ritsu finally awakens abilities of his own, the rush of power nearly swallows him, dragging him into reckless choices and a darker crowd. His struggle becomes a mirror to Mob's, asking what a person does once they suddenly have the strength they always wanted.

Over time Ritsu finds his footing and rebuilds his relationship with his brother on honesty rather than comparison. He emerges as a loyal, level-headed ally who clearly loves Mob, even if he would rather not say it out loud.
