Not super surprising that it’s fukubei and I’m glad. Thank god he didn’t pull something out of nowhere that doesn’t make sense. There were so many hints for it to be fukubei. The only thing I would wanna know is how he survived the fall back in 2000 but I’m sure there’s an explanation coming
I KNEW IT!!! Woah that's crazy that Friend was Fukubei. Now to be completely honest I don't think he is the final friend because I have a feeling that there is way too much story left as well as too many players left in this story to have the main villain killed off just yet. But, I think that if he were to have survived the fall on the Bloody New Years Eve and then be "reborn" back in 71' in the science room where Donkey saw everything he shouldn't have then maybe he has a chance at reviving somehow? If Kanna remembers his face when she was a baby in like 97' then I think it's safe to say that whoever that man is is Friend because it wasn't confirmed to be Fukubei according to Kanna. Not that she knows who he is but we at least need to have the story cross-reference his face with the identity of Friend according to Kenji's Faction. Wheeeeew what a story lol
