"His fury toward Mahito is absolute because Mahito treats human identity as malleable material.
Yuji’s instinct is preservation. Mahito’s instinct is distortion. In this contrast, we glimpse Yuji’s true “technique”: reverence."

similarly in "The Sopranos," the classically trained psychoanalyst takes as her challenge uncovering the root (childhood) origins of her client's panic attacks; totally ignoring, oblivious of, as if in a parody of American feel-good ethos, the fact that an individual who make his living by extortion & frequent murders certainly should feel guilty, & indeed panicked.
hilariously, though there is nothing funny about it, psychotherapy's goal has always been to allow an individual to function in society without crippling neurosis.
to allow Tony Soprano to function smoothly as a mob boss is the goal.
therapy/psychoanalysis: how to conform to/function in society even if that society is totally corrupt & should be repudiated.
Ain't it warming you, the world gone up in flames?
Ain't it the life of you, your lighting of the blaze?
Ain't it a waste they'd watch the throwing of the shade?
