I do like that the parents are three different types of abusive. Azuma's is the most relatable to me personally, but yeah comparing which one is "worse" isn't the most helpful. All three of the kids got fucked up by their parents. With a mother like his reinforcing that his only worth is in whether or not he can successfully do something? Of course when Shizuka says she believes he can do it, of course he's going to jump at the chance to finally prove himself. He's flipping 10. And this is the first time someone has put their faith in him. His mother hasn't given up yet but he's been trying so hard for so long to no avail. And now he has a chance, something he thinks he could do. Something he, specifically, is being asked for help with. Not his mother, not Junya, Shizuka is asking for *his* help. What else was he supposed to do? I like how when Junya starts "acting out" that Naoki has this vindictive glee at the thought of him becoming the worse son. When your parents pit you against each other like that, when they compare you constantly, it's hard to not think of your siblings as the enemy. I also like how Junya is the first one to refer to Naoki by his name. His mother never referred to him by name in all the scenes we saw her in. He never made any friends close enough to refer to him by name.
