By that logic Aki is a bad person too, which is why the label isn’t particularly useful in this case, I would say.

He’s just in a different moral position as compared to other public safety agents.

I mean also… he’s a teenager who’s been groomed and conditioned into this lifestyle and outlook since a very, very young age.

It’s a little hard for me to call him a /bad person/ for this.

I got to the end recently and I think the only thing that was whiffed was the speed at which the turnaround happened. The concept I actually liked and found fitting for the sort of myth-making feel they’re going for.

every fight with him is just him saying the coolest and most based shit ever while Mel (love you babe mwah ❤️❤️❤️) is possessed by the spirit of her olympian cop blood and tries to not hear it

I was already convinced when I really looked at Denji and saw that what has shaped him and continues to form his own understanding of existence is not being controlled, experiencing conflict or death but rather— hunger.

My rule for the story is that if a definitive statement is made about a character by The Narrative or a conveyor of it, it will happen. If the character themselves makes a promise of something, it will not happen.

fujimoto is really good at “this shit will happen”, and then it happens.

future devil says aki is gonna die horribly. he’s dead.

turn into chainsaw man, and nayuta is gonna die. nayuta is dead.

this is why asa will turn denji into a weapon because fujimoto doesn’t play

I bet everything I have that public safety’s only instruction to him was to convey that they would kill Nayuta if he continued to transform. everything else was Yoshida trying to soften that blow or trying to carve out what little he could for himself.

and it’s like— he knew this was never an actual possibility in the long run, that inevitably something would happen to tear that happy domestic life to pieces. Neither of them could or would ever actually be allowed to live like that.

but I think he wanted to believe otherwise.

Honest to god these panels tear my heart open more than his actual death did. hooooooooooooooo Yoshida 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

The only real reason to burn the body was to prevent Denji from looking at it more closely, which doesn’t track with his behavior before this.

He did not need to burn the body for Denji to make the connection between him and Yoshida’s apparent death at all, if that’s what this was meant to do. He could’ve just verbally claimed it and Denji would’ve reacted in exactly the same way.

what gets me about this is that the last time Barem antagonized denji into making Pochita come out, he did so by letting Denji see his loved one’s corpse for as long as possible, even going so far as to drag out the viewing
