The Boy and the Beast / int_17ce80aa	comment	All There in the Manual: The novelization, also written by Hosoda, explains a few details not revealed in the movie, including the reason why Renâ€™s parents divorced. According to Renâ€™s perspective, his uncle (from his motherâ€™s side of the family) disapproved of Renâ€™s motherâ€™s marriage to Renâ€™s father, so he showed up at their apartment sometime before the events of the movie with a lawyer and forced them to separate. â€œIt probably had something to do with the fact that I was â€˜the only boy in the family and the precious future head of the house,â€™â€� Ren states.

Sometimes, he has a body of a chubby and buff young adult, other times he has a body of a pro wrestler, and sometimes he has a body of a skinny fit man. Part of this has to do with the fact that the movie takes place over several years, as well as the fact that his body shape changes as he releases more power, but still.

But along came Kyuta, who scared the delinquents out of their minds and rescued Kaede.

His final option to fight a berserk Ichirouhiko was to open his own void, absorbing Ichirouhikoâ€™s darkness in the process. He would then stab himself. However... Kumatetsu, barely able to walk, demands the Lord transfer the position of Lord to him now, as well as give up his right to reincarnate as a god, so Kumatetsu instead can reincarnate himself as an artefact spirit in the form of a sword to save Kyuta from the berserk Ichirouhiko. He succeeds not only saving Kyuta's life but sparing Ichirouhiko's as well.

The Boy and the Beast / int_d44ea142	comment	You Are Not Alone: When Kyuta is almost overwhelmed by the void after rejecting both his biological father and Kumatetsu, Kaede gives him a Cooldown Hug and reassures him that other people (including her) share his feelings of rage, loss, and resentment. Ultimately, this is a major difference between Kyuta and Ichirouhiko, as the latter never had anyone to share his feelings with.
