what do you think tsukasa's focus event + arc starter will be about? any predictions or ideas about how it could go? (considering his focus nearly guaranteed because of the wandasho va list)

its most likely its gonna kickstar their freelancing!
(disclaimer rest is raw spec here and i could be very wrong lmao) For Tsukasa specifically...i'd imagine in a newer enviroment they'd essentially have to restablish their reputation, and considering last events...mm, maybe I'm just paranoid, but I'm worried Tsukasa will push himself harder and harder for his method acting. Sky's Edge was already getting pretty questionable compared to Dazzling and it's not like he learned it was bad to do that!

Like, you can only force something to keep burning more and more until you reach the point where you risk hurting yourself, and Tsukasa evidently ignored Kaito's advice to take it one step at a time. I think its pretty significant that he felt inferior to the other actors (and his idol) despite being, most likely, way less experienced than them and self taught at that. Knowing Project Sekai's story structure and even just how those kind of feelings are, its not something that goes away quickly. (And I don't think those feelings were new, either, for them to be so strong.) These unrealistic expectations and a likely less forgiving enviroment I don't think won't mix very well.

It's kinda tricky to spec bc Tsukasa's arc structure is quite different from the usual ones, where instead of seeing him grow emotionally it's more focused on his growth as an actor, and using this to spotlight Tsukasa's mentality to the readers and why he acts the way he does. ofc this goofball owns the sekai so i dont think they'll do it forever but we'll see
