At this point, Nozomu could have been Sara's boyfriend (Akira doesn't seem to have been him because Sara doesn't recognize him when he meets her teenage self) - but I really wish he wasn't. I think it would cheapen the narrative.
If Nozomu was a piece of shit, like you guys said, it would make the Arakawa family this pit of cursed crap. Nozomu was a molester (for some reason), then he gets married to Sekai (which is also a molester), and then Akira becomes a molester, and and then their daughter becomes an incest/molestee spokesperson. It's just too much for me, and if Nozomu was indeed a piece of shit, why Saki hated Akira specifically?
That would be like, yes, Saki was a normal mom to Nozomu, so he got married and molested students. Saki was a piece of shit mom to Akira, so he got molested and learned to molest students. Well, that's a surefire way to inform Saki that her parenting was irrelevant lol
Granted, that one happy event "something everyone ignores" (?) mentions a background that could be from homossexuality and that would have to be either Akira's or Nozomu's. If it is that of course, because it could simply be from Akira being "overly" sexual from a young age as well, and Saki having him swallow soap for it. Nozomu being gay and turning that into abusing girls instead, marrying someone that didn't like him, abusing her too (Sekai says to Akira "you don't even know what you brother did to me last night" or something - which again, makes me really doubt that Sekai "loved" Akira at all from this kind of torment), would fit into him being abused by Saki as well, which would fit her MO.
There's no real conclusion here, I can see it happening, I just wish it doesn't. Have Nozomu be a normal dude from a religious family that considers mental issues being demonic. Have Saki "abusing" Akira by alternating between having traumatic flashbacks from Akira having inherited Yuu's mental issues, and jumping into his bed sometimes to cry while holding him. Have that be the way a "harmless" person creeped in and tainted her son without them noticing. Have the accident happen because Nozomu finally confronts Sekai about it "why did it have to be him?". I feel that's already a lot. I'd rather it not become more convoluted.
Edit: This entire post is a supposition.
