FEFOO. Alright, so even though he actually resigned himself to the whole teamwork aspect of the DKs fairly early, it still took him a bit to actually like...warm up to them on a personal level. It also took prompting from Nanami, which I'm sure you remember. GOD, KAZOO WOULD IT KILL YOU TO BE NICE TO PEOPLE YOU ARE GOING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED FOR BEING A JACKASS. Like when she asked him to dance that first ball, that wasn't him trying to do his gradual act of becoming friendly...he legit just DID NOT want to because god, perky people no. But she managed to turn that around pretty quick? It started with the initiative she showed when she volunteered to go w2. Just. SLAMS TRIDENT ON TABLE. I VOLUNTEER. Because that was back when he still naively believed that the DKs actually stood a chance and he was trying to act like how he figured the DKs were supposed to act. Which was this fearsome group of killers who were going to win the whole game big time because they're awesome. Obviously, that didn't last long but the confidence and fearlessness that she showed just scored big points with Kuzuryuu. You go, little fish girl. You go.

Then she killed Eridan and FUCKING FRAMED HERSELF and he was convinced that wasn't going to work at all. He was sure that nobody was going to be stupid enough to fall for Feferi being framed, but then...everybody...did exactly that..... And, obviously, he wasn't going to point out that YOU CAN'T RULE OUT ANYBODY WITHOUT EVIDENCE!! because he wanted Feferi to get away with it. And she did. That ended up being his first wake up call to just how bad his situation as a DK was. Murder doesn't really faze Kuzuryuu much because he's yakuza and he kind of deals with that shit a lot but...the scapegoating thing really shook him up. Like it's one thing to read the rules and see that someone will die regardless of culpability, and then it's another thing entirely to actually see it with your own two eyes. Especially given how Ian (understandably) reacted.

Even with their conversation in her room after the trial, Kuzuryuu had a feeling that Feferi was a lot more shaken up by what she'd done than she was letting on. Like...jfc she's thirteen and she just killed someone? Granted, he was also thinking about it in human terms because he has no idea just how ruthless trolls are expected to be. (He'd actually probably relate a lot if he knew, now that I'm thinking on it) Anyway, he knows a front when he sees one. While some people thought that her sadness was an act, he was pretty sure the opposite was true. Granted, he also had the advantage of knowing why she DIDN'T retire. So that was why he offered to dance with her that week and part of why he decided to be her guard. Obviously part of that was because they were both DKs but a bigger part was wanting to cheer her up. HE PROBABLY LET HER DO WHATEVER THAT WEEK AND JUST WENT ALONG WITH IT, TBH. She and Nanami got to call all the shots and he was just along for the ride.

She grew on him more and more as the weeks went on, bubbly attitude and all. OBVIOUSLY SHE WAS ONE OF HIS FAVORITE DKS, honestly she was second only to Nanami. Not that he hated Chizuru or anything but 1) Feferi made a grave marker for Peko and 2) SHE DIDN'T SPILL DK SECRETS TO FUCKING KAORU OF ALL PEOPLE. Feferi is also the only person to successfully give him a nickname that he doesn't hate. Koizuryuu forever.

Theeeeeeen week 8 rolled around and ha...hahahaha. Haaaaaaaaa. Yeah. Kuzuryuu really, really, REALLY did not want to have to kill Feferi and Chizuru. Especially since Feferi actually had gotten away with murder and was basically assured her win condition at that point. But he was like 90% sure at that point that at least the win conditions were fake. He never doubted their ability to follow through on the failure ones, but the win ones...not so much. And since Feferi didn't retire, he didn't really have a choice. If he and Chizuru died to retire Nanami, Feferi would STILL have to go that following week. And she definitely wouldn't be able to get away with it since the DKs were exposed and everyone KNEW she'd killed once already. So she'd kill some random person, get executed, and the game would continue on and Kuzuryuu really didn't want to put her in that position. It feels kind of weird to say that he felt killing her was the kinder option, but that's basically how he rationalized it out. In his mind, it was better that the three of them die and accomplish something for the rest of the players AND the hostages. And it was also better that he get executed instead of Chizuru and Feferi. Because if you absolutely have to die, better to be murdered than executed. And better to die trusting your killer than be stabbed in the back. Hence why he asked them the two questions that he did. Because he couldn't outright tell them what he was doing, but he wanted them to die knowing that he wasn't betraying them or trying to hurt them. Which was kind of selfish on his part but THE ENTIRE SITUATION WAS SHIT. But in the end, he did weirdly sort of have everyone's best interests at heart.

Even though the game is over now, he still thinks of all the DKs as teammates. Like...even moreso than he does everybody else. Yeah, everyone is a great big 60+ person team now but the candy apples are kind of their own special tier. It's like he kept trying to tell people whenever they tried to give him all the credit for w8: it was a team effort. Yeah, it was his plan and he all the actual work as far as set up and killing and all that goes, but he literally could not have done it without Feferi and Chizuru. And not just in the sense that he needed them to be victims, but also in the sense that he NEEDED their support in order to go through with it. He NEEDED somebody to believe in him (which apparently Gundam did but he didn't know that so Gundam doesn't count). Without that, he seriously couldn't have pulled this off. Oops I got a little sidetracked from my inital point of "what happens next" there SO TO GET BACK ON TOPIC... All three of the DK girls can count on Kuzuryuu to basically do whatever it is they want/need him to do because he kind of eternally owes them for either killing them or setting them up the bomb. They're a team and they always will be, even after they figure out how to get back home and all go their separate ways. U da best, Fefoo, u his favorite troll. Not that there's a whole lot of competition, but still...
