redglare said "i have a kid around gamzee's age!"
Obake, or Bob Aken, was a brilliant young boy who got his brain messed up at the age of 12 or 13- because of this he mind slowly started to lose sight of what was considered right and what was wrong- but this was just a summary of what we already know-
Obake is in like- his 40ās during the time of Big Hero 6 The Series, meaning heās spent more than 3 decades completely alone
Not only is his brain deteriorating his sense of morals, but he also lacks basic human companionship. Sure heās spoken to people for business, but that doesnāt beat real human companionship
This is why he lost to Hiro
Obake never understood what itās like to have people by your side no matter what, someone who cares so much about you they would protect you. Hiro did. Hiro had people he could rely on, and thatās why he didnāt turn out like Obake.
Hiro got close, if we all remember this part of the movie š¬š¬š¬
But the reason Hiro didnāt was because his friends where there to stop him and help him. Obake never got the treatment Hiro got where people would stop him if he was in over his head.
Obake never had any friends, probably not even parents. He expressed little to no empathy when Hiro showed concern for Aunt Cass. His only response being:
Personally, I believe this is his temporal junction amplifying a problem of understanding he has towards concern like that. I do not believe heās ever felt a familial bond. Either he had no family, or moved far away as a transfer student and never looked back.
And not to mention his accident got covered up, and afterwards he was forgotten.
Obakeās big idea is immortalizing himself and making a city where people like him can grow and learn. Due to his temporal lobe being untreated for 30 years, he didnāt care who died in the process(unless youāre Hiro).
But when you look at it in another light, Obake was afraid of dying alone, forgotten, and a failure. He laments about this in the Finale when his plan fails.
(This was the only gif I could find of it)
This is a depressed lonely man whoās mind has spend years changing for the worst, so much so he doesnāt even see anything that he did potentially wrong until it fails. In his mind: as long as it goes right, he is right.
However, he does make attempts to connect with people, just not to the full extent. He does crave to engage in conversation and to connect with another, however he prefers someone who is at āhis levelā otherwise he gets annoyed easy.
He doesnāt hate conversations, just ones he considers āannoyingā. (Donāt give this man a toddler PLEASE)
But when it comes to Hiro. Obake sees him in a higher light because of how scarily similar he is to himself at a young age.
He greatly misunderstood Hiroās moral limits to being āleashedā or āheld backā. And this is due to the fact he was practically raised by Granville before she understood the importance of limits. Therefore his young mind would grow up being taught that this was fact, and he considers his āsuccessā proof of how Hiro is wrong and he was right.
He wants to give him the same āfreedomā he has. He sees Hiro as a version of himself that can finally succeed when he was supposed to. He wants to give Hiro what he thinks he never had: proper guidance.
But this all falls back to the facts that Obake doesnāt understand how important and special it feels to have friends, family and loved ones.
I believe that Hiro was the closest thing Obake felt to a close bond. And Iām talking about Obake personally, there was little to no bonding between the two besides kidnapping and gaslighting.
Obake showed genuine hurt and misunderstanding when Hiro rebelled against him and stopped his plan. He was genuinely hoping he would get a chance to teach, and potentially even parent the boy in his own twisted way.
Hiro was the one thing he didnāt plan on in his grand scheme, but when he came along, he was more than happy to allow another survivor. One he saw would grow up to have everything he felt he never had
But Obake was looking at the wrong place.
Also a little side detail I thought was sad-
The moment Obake is approached with help, he pushes himself away from it. This is either him overall denying help from anyone, or accepting that he deserves nothing.
