Ok so I finally got up to the scene in question and I'd definitely wager Shizuru actually meant uncle not grandpa and it was just a bad case of mistranslation by cr/funi. Shizurus exact words were "Uchi no Ji-chan" which would usually mean "My/our Uncle". The difference is pretty subtle because Ji-chan (short vowel) indicates uncle, while Jii-chan (long vowel) means grandfather. I suspect it was probably just a case of the episode being subbed by someone not familiar with the series and therefore not knowing the overall context of the situation. Ji-chan isnt the most commonly used way to refer to an uncle so without listening properly itd be reasonable for a subber to default to "grandpa". A similar issue occured when Sosuke referred to his cousin as "Kazu-nii" since a lot of people took that to mean he was his older brother, but it was just a case of some translators not being familiar with alternative phrases for family members.

Given the intergenerational rivalry & parallels between Ryuji and Mikhail I think uncle makes more narrative sense too because Mikhail is mentor to an ex-samezuka swimmer, and is an uncle to a current samezuka member; while Ryuji is mentor to an ex-iwatobi swimmer, and is (probably) uncle to a current Iwatobi member. Him becoming a father at a young age would make for a dramatic story as you said, but given all the variables it seems a bit unlikely imo.

As you said, maybe as a compromise we should just list Ryuji as (relative) in Shizuru's infobox, and vice versa, for now until it (hopefully) comes up again in the next instalment

I'm unsure if you're referring to deleting images from galleries or deleting the actual files themselves so I'll explain both:

-I removed listing from galleries that had been deleted by you so that they didn't show up as textlines in the galleries

-I deleted files that you had uploaded but subsequently removed from all galleries and were also of a very low quality (or in one case had a random string of gibberish letters obscuring the image) and were almost near identical duplicates of pre-existing images that are larger/better res

-other files were deleted for being outright duplicates

Hopefully that clears things up
