Wait if Setsuna expects one survivor to win the prize wont that mean that either the genius brother or the MC will die? The MC won't die (because ya know, he's the MC) but it's messed up that the brother might. I mean how else is the MC supposed to develop martial arts if he doesn't defeat the brother?

Are you saying the age gap is problematic but the sibling thing isn't?
The sister thing IS WIRED, but I don't think it's a situation where the Brother LOVES LOVES the sister.

I think the brother just likes his sister (in a family way) and doesn't want to see his sister with someone else (kind of how fathers are when their daughters start dating). He doesn't want the sister to grow and just wants to hog her all too himself because they spent a lot of time together since they are siblings.

Is the brother wrong? YES
Is what he doing wired? YES
Does the brother have romantic feelings for his sister? NO

Everyone in family is like this. When you have a younger sibling, you hate them because they are hogging mom's attention. Does this mean you love mom in a romantic way? HELLNAH. When siblings get along, they can also get jealous when their sister/brother starts dating.

For a genius he is really dumb. To get jealous over your sister spending time with another man, I mean you are prioritizing your own feelings over logic. It's bound to happen, instead of being jealous and acting on impulse (not a genius thing to do) you can instead adapt to the situation, that's what geniuses do after all. Childhood doesn't last forever, it's time for the brother to be with someone, someone like Miu?

although i didn't expect anything to come of the hot springs premise (except for the volume extra), i'd at least hoped we get a chill power up/recuperation arc and not two dudes duking it out without any chicks present.

I mean... I don't know if he wants to bone or what not, but fighting for the right to get your masochist rocks off by getting your sadistic sister to inflict 'agony' on you seems problematic

one thing that's bothering me is that Setsuna said she was leaving them for three weeks when she only booked a week off school for Akita?

This whole genius brother bit is the most lame bs in this manga yet. Somehow even more than the prior arc that was dragged for way too long.
"Akita is so mid, my genius brother has sharingan! 10 seconds to copy ANY move!“, "XD Akita trains? Weakling!“

Akita absolutely is a fast learner also. Dunno why they had to go out of their way to try and establish him as some void of any talent impaired loser when he is able to immediately use anything he learns in actual combat and always wins.
Man, they all are so fucking lame actually and it is so lame how Akita needs to be put down to make them shine.

Counter his shit, he might be a genius but he only knows a couple of moves, no?
His reaction time and experience are still lacking, just counter his shit, you countered mask guy who was hyped up for being a pro.

It's really stupid, Setsuna even admits it in the previous arc that Akita is brilliant at copying. The series can't decide if Akita is brilliant or a loser. It's possible that Akita is "bad at learning and good at copying" and Setsuna is trying to make him copy her brother who is brilliant at learning
