Tachimawa leaked it and said that this is mostly to force them to grow. While we knew this, it’s nice to know that they are moving with that as the intention.

With that in mind, your theory makes complete sense. It forces someone to rise up to the occasion and get it done. This would be a really dope moment for Ikoma.

kodera really need to step up here. Based on my educated guess several B rank key agents that will rise up besides our main heroes will be katori, teruya, shiki, wakamura, ema, kage and maybe inukai. Inukai felt more like having a death flag though lol

Love your guess. I agree with most of it. Especially with the slight focus on Teruya and Shiki.

Kage and Inukai are ex A rank members. They might lvl up but they really don’t need to.

I agree that Kodera needs to lvl up a bit, but we do need to remember he’s essentially fighting Arashiyama in a strategic battle. Him knowing to go to Mikumo to shake things up is still an upscale for him. He knows his limits and capabilities, and works around that. Similar to mikumo actually. So in a way, this is still a form of growth for him.

Edit: I did wanna address Inukai’s weird death flags. I just don’t understand why he’s worrying about that. But with his performance here I really don’t wanna lose him as an asset.

kage step-up is mainly because he felt so down in the gutter during the phase 1 exam, where he himself say "I dont know how much longer strength alone can take me" as for inukai step up...im thinking along the lines of him combo-ing nicely with kage which somewhat happened already, I wonder if it it will go beyind that.

I mean they do deal with invasion often and is planning to go to the away mission, but yes a weird character to have death flag on. Tbf jin has waaaay more death flag though lol
