Actors Brandon Flynn and Justin Prentice have such great chemistry.

Bryce and justin started as brothers then turned enemies. Justin and clay were enemies turned brothers. Justin character development was the only reason why I kept coming back

Justin throwing up after hearing about Bryce death broke my heart. Because despite of everything, everything that happened between them, everything Bryce did, he was still his first brother/person who was there for him when noone was.

This is pure gold, I was heartbroken when they both died

[clmillerbunny]

I love how dynamic all the characters in this show are. Nobody is 100% good or 100% bad. If you told me in season 1 that I would've cried over Bryce's death I would've been like wtf ew

[tanyam]

No matter what these two loved each other truly. It shows how comlicated life and love is. Sometimes people you love hurt you the most.

[AmosJAMcLovin]

A lot of people complained that he shouldn't be as upset over Bryce's death in season 3 and while part of that is true, realistically it's not always black and white.

You showed that in this video, Great Job!!

Bryce and Justin were never enemies.... Yes, Justin hated him for what he did. But till the end, Justin called him brother.... Afterall Bryce was the only one who cared for him when no one did

This is amazing! It really shows just how complicated their relationship was. It shows just how manipulative it all was, but it also shows just how much Bryce meant to Justin and it showed that to some extent, Bryce probably did care about Justin in his own fucked up way. Because their friendship was mostly manipulation. It was mostly Bryce giving Justin things, like shelter and food as well as clothes and School supplies and helping with his Mum, and making him kind of depend on him for everything. The whole thing with the tie and how Bryce always tied them for him was very telling too. He never taught him how to do it for himself because it was kind of a representation of how much Justin depended on him for everything, and if he knew how to do that one simple thing for himself then there's a slight crack in that dependency because he'd kinda realise that he could learn to do these things and wouldn't need to depend on Bryce for it all. Bryce never taught him to tie a tie, but Clay did. Clay helped him do it himself instead of making him depend on him for it.
There was a moment in 1x03, when Justin wakes up in Bryce's Pool House and they talk for a while. Bryce says to Justin "And Jessica. She's your girl, take care of her." Now, if you haven't seen the rest of the Season (or at least up to episode 9) then you'd think that was just him being nice and just a good guy. But then, you look back at it after finding out what happened, and it changes *everything!* He was taunting Justin about what happened, reminding him who is in control and of what happened. He was bringing it up, without actually bringing it up. He knew what it would do to Justin to hear those words, especially from him. He was reminding Justin that he hadn't protected her, and that Bryce was always going to be the one who he couldn't fight back against. It's actually a really horrible scene to look back on after watching Episode 9...

I love how in the flashback, Bryce comes off as this sweet kid who just wants to help Justin. But there's also these small things that show how he became who he did. The fact that he took another kids Twinkies, because he felt entitled to, and how he gave Justin things and all that. I just think it's a really good show of how a kid like that who really did just want to help, can go one of two ways. Either stay sweet and charitable and just want to help, or he can become manipulative and decide he's entitled to more than just some other kids Twinkies.

I'm really glad that the show had Justin grieve for Bryce. It really showed that feelings like that are complicated. I watch the scene where he's explaining to Clay that he's sad Bryce is dead and then goes on to remind him that Bryce was the first person to ever give a shit about him and then he ended it with saying he was his brother. Because the thing is, your brother (or sister) doesn't stop being your brother (or sister) just because they did something bad. If your flesh and blood brother (or sister) did grow up to be a bad person in some way then they're not going to stop being your brother (or sister). You cant just decide they're no longer your sibling. And I feel like it's kind of the same with how Justin feels about Bryce. No matter how much he grew to hate him, and realise how manipulative Bryce was towards him, he's never going to be able to forget the boy who gave him food and shelter, who stood up for him to the other kids at School, who made an effort and actually cared. Like Bryce said in the Police Station "I'm your brother forever, no matter what." in a way Justin betrayed Bryce (in Bryce's mind. Justin was right to speak out about what happened, when Jess was ready, anyway...) but he still helped him out and all that. It's not going to be that easy to just forget about 8 years of friendship/brotherhood. No matter how manipulative and unhealthy it got...

I do love that people (Jessica and Clay) point out that Bryce was manipulative and was trying to own Justin and control him and all that. And I love that in S3, Justin kind of agrees with Clay about that, he acknowledges it in a way. Sure, he was denying that Bryce was doing that at a certain point in time, but he literally said that it was different this time. He acknowledged that Bryce was very manipulative and controlling and was giving him things and helping him out so he could own him. But it makes me happy that it's acknowledged rather than just glossed over, because it's a very big part of his character. It's a pretty big part of the show as a whole tbh… I mean, literally both of Justin's tapes were in a way Bryce's fault. Bryce sent the picture around (but Justin shouldn't have even showed it to anyone!) and then Bryce raped Jess. I makes me kind of sad that no one on the show ever mentioned that, because although Justin played parts in both those events, it was overall Bryce who *did* the things that hurt people. I was literally so happy when in 3x10, when Bryce was listening to the Tapes, and he had just heard Justin's 2nd one, he said that it should've been his Tape, not Justin's. (Though the reason it was Justin's was more to do with Hannah's own feelings of guilt and her projecting it onto Justin, because she basically did the same thing he did in that situation...) But just having someone point out that it was Bryce who raped Jess, *not* Justin, was very satisfying for me. And that it was Bryce, it just somehow made it 100x better. People often act like Justin is the one to blame for Jessica's rape, but he was a traumatised bystander. I wanna ask people this, do we think that Jess or Tyler would be able to stop someone from being raped? Or would they react similarly to Justin? I feel like that is a conversation that needs to be had either in the show or between the fans... And then later in the Tape that Bryce made Jess, how he made it clear that Justin tried to stop him. He acknowledged the pain he caused Justin more than he acknowledged the pain he caused the girls he raped, I think... (Like with how he didn't tell the Police about Tyler because he knew it would hurt Justin as well...) It was interesting.

The line of "What's Mine Is Yours" has always made me *very* uncomfortable. There's just something about it that is just so manipulative. Like, in some instances, people saying it is sweet (like if they're talking about objects and possessions, but like mostly necessities and that shit. Not about people.) But Bryce saying it has always seemed manipulative and creepy and so rape-y! (There have always been theories that something happened between them at some point, like, sexually, as payment or whatever... After S3, I kinda feel like there wasn't... But before that, it actually seemed *very* likely to me...)

At the Funeral, when the H.O girls protested, it killed me. Funerals are not about the dead, they're about the living who have lost someone. And then how Justin admitted to Jess that he wanted to defend him, but that he hates himself for feeling that way, I loved that. It was very realistic to me. He couldn't help but love Bryce, even when he hated them. And especially after he died, it'd be a lot harder for him to forget the good times and think all about the bad. Because people don't wanna hate on the dead (most of the time anyway...)
I also loved how the Jensen's went with Justin to the Funeral. And how even though Clay had wanted to look around the house for clues about who might've killed Bryce, he offered to stay with Justin through it, because he kind of started to realise what Justin meant about being sad about his death. It just made me very happy that they all went, even though they all have every reason to hate him (Matt and Lainie are gonna hate him for beating Clay up so bad, and then obviously for everything he put Justin through. And the fact that he was a Rapist. Clay hates him for obvious reasons, and same with Justin.) but they all recognised that Justin needed them there, and so they went. And how Justin told Monty that he did love Bryce, wasn't even ashamed to admit it there, because he knows it was true and just knew he could admit it with the Team because they hadn't been hurt by him in the ways that his other friends (and girlfriend) had...

Thank you for making this video! The relationship between Justin and Bryce is very interesting and one of my favourites (to look at and pick apart and analyse...) and I also love to compare it with Justin's relationship with Clay...

As much as I HATE to say this, Justin and Bryce.. I don’t know how to explain it but they had the best friendship at first. Bryce was always there for him since 3rd grade. And when Bryce paid that guy to leave Justin alone, besides the fact that he raped multiple girls including Justin’s girlfriend (but that relationship was pretty toxic no offence), Bryce was a true friend to Justin and everyone could tell how much Bryce cared about Justin and how much Justin cared about Bryce ( please no one give me hate )

[Jennah]

Wow, such an interesting relationship between these two. What you did at 6:06 was incredible!!! Loving all your 13rw videos!

[jessk]

How dare they both die
Thank you so much for the likes

[juliativey]

Great video, their relationship has such an impact on so many things that happen in the show.I love the struggles Justin has with his feelings towards Bryce.

[morganunderhill]

My heart was for Justin from day one! He was in SO much PAIN!! 😭😭💞💞💞

[katherine-ohrt]

bryce did some unforgivable things but at the end of the day, he was there for him

[skileyx]

"Bryce used to tie them for me" I broke down into tears.

[Mike-ccyz]

I’m sorry for all Clay and Justin Bro Shippers but Bryce and Justin are the actual Bromance in this series, people claim that Bryce only used Justin and bought him things to control him but that wasn’t it, Bryce saw someone who was like him, alone, fucked up, and had no love in the world, he saw a friend in him and then a brother to him, he loved Justin unconditionally, he didn’t care how much money he wasted, he helped Justin regardless and been with him since day one and was one of the only parts of Justin that made him feel like he had an actual family or a brother, in season 3 it shows how much in a depth Justin loved Bryce and how much bryce regrets everything he done, espionage to the one person he loved and cherished the most out of everyone (Justin), these two were brother and will always be brothers ❤️

[rosendaldk]

Justin and Brandon is insanely good actors

[eternalmoon.]

I love this so much! I was hoping someone would make a video of them, so thank you! I think their relationship is really interesting and you really showed what their relationship was like in this video. I also love your other videos, you're a really good editor.

[sirenuls]

"Brycey" / "Justy". Don't touch me I am emotional.
