Yasha



He's a genetically-enhanced science experiment. His twin brother is the same, only with more evil smirking. Together, they are tragic and hot and have superpowers and are obsessed with each other!

There are many things I could say about this drama, but I'll leave you with one:

Evil slashy twins.



Sei is a scientist with a secret: he's a marked and microchipped superhuman from a genetic experiment twenty years ago. Oh yes. Oh yes. He can hear dog whistles, do your math homework, and move at the speed of light.







SAYONARA, SUCKERS!





Rin is Sei's long-lost twin, the other half of the experiment. Rin got all the "crazy and insane" genes, which is why his idea of a reunion present is to lure his brother to Japan by unleashing a killer mutant virus to wipe out half the population.





Welcome home, niisan.





Moichi is Sei's childhood sweetheart. No, that's pretty much canon. If Moichi were a girl, their story would be a hallmark of everlasting first love.







And god bless fansubbers, seriously, because their translations only made it worse. "Isn't there anything you want to do? Like Moichi?" Uh...





Rin is jealous of the attention Sei gives other boys, much to the displeasure of his own girlfriend. "He's always on your mind," she says grumpily. "It's like you're in love."







Rin offers to share world domination, but Sei instead decides it's his duty to take him down. Ungrateful bastard! What's an evil overlord to do?





Well, how about handcuffing his brother to the bed?





I know, I know, I'm a master screencapper.







Ninja fights!



Explosions!



Lasers!







The more jealous dark and evil Rin becomes, the more his hair frizzes into devil horns. DOOOOM.



No fight between good and evil is complete without FEATHERS.











Scientists with guns. They're smart *and* armed. Fear for your soul.





HOT FUCKING BASTARD. Have you ever seen Abe Hiroshi the bodyguard? He packs sniper rifles, shoots a lot of people in the face, and jumps on moving trucks. He also stalks Sei into bathrooms and voyeurs all his sexual encounters. There's really not a normal relationship in this drama...





And I mean literally, I can think of exactly one relationship that wasn't messed-up or incestuous in some way. Eventually it became its own explanation. "Wait, who the hell is that guy? Why is Rin sleeping with... oh, they're related. Oh, okay."





Aww, that's one for the family photo album.







The best best best part? Rin's obsession with Sei isn't just fanservice. It's canon. Because he's bisexual.





OH AND THAT'S THE SON OF WHO HE THINKS IS HIS SURROGATE MOTHER. SO RIN LIKES TO FUCK HIS BROTHERS IN CANON. BEST DRAMA EVER???
