Okay okay, hear me out. This theory may seem stupid to many, but, it's my observation and my theory.

While I'm only in the 6th episode of Diamond is unbreakable, I believe that I have seen enough screentime of Okuyasu, to develop my theory. (I had a voice telling me in the second part of the Nijimura Brothers episodes). Going off of the behavior of Okuyasu at the end of the fifth episode of Diamond is Unbreakable, where he is being loud and generally childlike, even when he is sixteen years old. He shows very similar characteristics to someone who is on the Autism spectrum or has Asperger's syndrome (even though it is obvious that Okuyasu has no problem with socializing with people and doesn't seem to have a hyper fixation on a particular topic). Typically, Okuyasu is very collected, I will say. But as I was reading his Wiki, I noticed at the very bottom of his page, that it says, "He is pretty dumb and he can't make up strategies with ease." and that is accompanied with, "His attack pattern is rather predictable, so anyone who is faster than him can easily block all of his attacks." Now, I know this doesn't seem like anything to do with Autism, but Autism shows its face in many ways (I'm only saying this because I have experience with family members who have been diagnosed with Autism/ Asperger's). Even though I don't mentally know much about Autism/ Asperger, emotionally, I can spot some of the basic characteristics if given a good time to understand the person. I have also read about this diagnosis. "They may repeat certain behaviors." (This referring to his predictable attack patterns). Autism also impacts the persons' ability to learn like others. Okuyasu is portrayed as 'dumb', 'stupid' or any other form of names used to degrade someone for their capabilities. In the end, I believe that Okuyasu Nijimura is on the spectrum. Then again, this is only a theory. Thank you for reading :) Also, I absolutely LOVE Okuyasu and I think that he should be protected till the end of days.
