I really hate when this happens

Honestly I've always hated that memory loss trope where they now have this weird dynamic with the person they are now and who they used to be.
Things like "what's so good about the past me?, forget about him. I'm the one who's here now". It pisses me off, they're treating the main character I loved and who's story I've been following all this time almost like an obstacle or a hyndrance. Makes me hate the new personality because now they're just here shit talking their past self without even knowing anything or the things they went through.
It also creates this weird situation where it feels like the other person is cheating on the original personality with the new one even though it technically isn't cheating because it's still them to some degree but like it's also not at the same time? it's a mess.
Then you're left feeling bad for the new personality because it's not like they asked to be there and everyone else is just missing the older one so the new one is left feeling like they're not wanted.

    I don't think he does, unless maybe that has happened in the korean raws that aren't translated yet?

    Yes he will, it happens at the end of the main story when they fall in the lake. The author made official art when they climb out of the water.
