lmao i can't understand is the mc is dense or Just dumb?

zero regard for himself (not to confuse with self esteem; he knows what he can do and what he's worth, he just puts himself on punishment indefinitely and that establishes a hierarchy in his mind where there are CLEARLY defined goals to achieve and a price to be paid - and he's willing to pay ANY price as long as HE is the one who pays it)
You could tell him there's a sure fire short cut to save everyone he cares about from ANY harm whatsoever for the small price of cutting off his own arm and he'd ask "Left or right" and go for it.
What is this ending??
