I’ve been thinking about this for a long while and I think it’s time I make a thread and expand on my thoughts.
Asa and yoru’s relationship as an abusive mother daughter dynamic
a very long🧵
The way all of Denji's character in Part 2 can be traced to this moment is tragic because she won.
Denji's self-hate, his relapses, his misguidance, all the mistakes that have caused him to lose everything and keep sinking lower and lower, all because Makima won.
Denji is far from an altruistic hero but he still CARES, the idea that he was taking away people's family and repeating what he did to himself to others broke him because that's what he hates himself for.
Beyond all the attention and love, Denji also wants to be a GOOD person.
mika has a very special double gap moe imo.. at first he seems like a cool-type character, then ppl read a little abt him and think "oh no he's so sweet, he wouldn't hurt a fly", but then some read further and discover that yes, he would hurt. probably wouldn't regret it either
