Talk:Nobana Higashiyama

Where was it confirmed that he was specifically Kobeni's brother? It is the most likely, sure, but I don't recall it ever being confirmed. Might as well be her cousin. Personally I'd stick to calling him her relative. LoneWandererFrom (talk) 20:06, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

(KDS-Fan) 1: They share the same family name. Cousins and such typically don't share surnames.

2: Kobeni mentions that her parents force her to earn money for her brother's education.Her brother is a high schooler.

3: His parents' behavior seems to align directly with the kind of parents Kobeni described.

4: They look like genderbent versions of each other. Such a physical resemblance is rare among siblings, let alone general relatives.

This is all speculation. They are totally related given the surname, but there is no confirmation they are siblings. Like I said, it's most likely - but still arguable. And until it's confirmed I implore to call him her relative and nothing else. LoneWandererFrom (talk) 21:38, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

(KDS-Fan) Even if it isn't "100% confirmed" we still accept it since every piece of evidence we have so far speaks in favor of him being Kobeni's brother. Fujimoto likes to let the readers pick up clues and put it all together and in this case they are not even subtle. If we turn out to be wrong we can change it later, but until then we will accept him as being Kobeni's brother.

(Djmrfunnyman) It's basically an occam's razor. The most likely scenario is that he is her brother (for reasons KDS fan stated), it would honestly make less sense if he wasn't her brother. Also entire fandom collectively arrived at the same conclusion somehow so there must be some merit to it if that's what people get from reading the source material. Dancing around it because it's not explicitly confirmed is just stupid. Fujimoto isn't the type to do pointless baits like this. This brings me back to the eternity devil reincarnation argument that happened here on this wiki because some people were arguing "denji could be wrong, he was only guessing" or "okay but it isn't 100% confirmed it's the same devil so we can't put it here" despite that being literally what was being conveyed there. Then surprise surprise it was later confirmed that yes it was the eternity devil.
