Maria had extensive plastic surgery, she changed her face so much that her own husband doesn't recognize so I don't think okaya actually looks like her enough to be her son
Still there? In c.51 Okaya has the same eyes as María but the love part... It seems that Okaya view nagare as a cockroach and himself as the god that will love the filthy animal
Omg so I am not the only one who thinks this?! Especially when that kindergarten picture part like bruh "Are you sure they are not switching at birth?!"
Still, I had no idea why he bullied him...could be pissed off because he took his 'biological' parents?!
(y'all i feel like the switched at birth theory is valid, as you can see Okaya looks a LOT like Maria while Nagare looks like Okaya's mother.)
And i feel like Okaya prbly really considered Nagare his friend but smh he managed to discover the truth, he might have had feelings even before discovering it , feelings that w his personnality evolved into the most messed up f up obsession wich he either doesn't realise or refuses to acknowledge
yes it's highly possible that Okaya felt love for Nagare in a despicaple, psychopatic way, i had this theory before bcs of his perspective even at the start i mean look carefully at what he says it's ovious as hell.
Also the fact that bullying is done w no concern towards the victim; even if the bully is smart just like Okaya they dc abt their victims, but this lack of care differ in each person who performs the act depending on how they perceive the victim:
like in the panel were he raised cockroaches to make Nagare eat them he does that and preserves Nagare bcs "he wants to keep him alive enough to torment him", he is interested in the fire that burns in Nagare he doesn't understand it and wishes to get rid of it he DOESN'T care abt Nagare but those are his words, his POV in reality he is attracted to Nagare's personnality wich annoys him and prbbly makes him want to hurt Nagare to proe to himself most of all that he doesn't care bcs he can't comprehend the emotion of care or love he hates but loves him in such an unhealthy amount and is so deep in denial he feels the need to remind himself constantly of his death and how he regrets it not bcs Nagare died but bcs now he can't have fun wich is i think a lie to himself bcs if he did not care he would not still have pictures under the pretext that he regrets not preventing the truck from killing him to hurt him more mentally(yes he would have but keeping the pictures is not for that i don;t think so) he also wouldn't have stayed stuck on it for years, i think that will be the plot twist but better explaied in the manga
also look at the other works the genres will say a lot on how this might end smt when you look at the other works you might notice a pattern be it a character or smt else it still will show you how other unfinished stuff might evolve
