I found it kinda weird how much focus was put on Minami not being blood related to Baku and how that somehow meant they aren’t siblings. Like yeah the CODE thing obviously puts a huge damper on their relationship but like, why is this part even a debate? Minami not being blood related to Baku doesn’t mean shit, it especially doesn’t mean that they have “no connection”. They were still brother and sister for years before CODE even came along, and after them they were still brother and sister. It all came around in the end to “you’re still my family even if CODE made you an agent” which yeah thats good. It just feels very weird how much focus this particular part gets when like, adoption exists, step siblings exist. Thats still a perfectly valid thing and these two being objectively siblings even if they aren’t blood related, shouldn’t even really be a question compared to her lying to him about CODE all these years. Weird thing to focus on imo.

Yeah I found that odd too, they were literally siblings (even if not blood related ones) for years until Minami got recruited. Maybe this is a cultural difference between us and Japan but I found it very weird as well.

It was a little upsetting cuz like why is THIS seemingly the main focus and not her being a code agent

I think it is more about how Baku discovered his whole life was a lie. So far I don't think if we know whether Baku is aware of his "adoption", he may have just believed that his family was biological. Now he found that out, along with his family being all CODE agents, a 1-episode focus on the issue with their blood-relation is, to me at least, reasonable. Later episodes may then move on to what Baku really is.
