I just fricking love them so much, I usually like go comment long paragraphs but Sasaki to Miyano never fails to take the words out of my mouth
Oh my god finally the story is picking up its pace again!!
Okay now that the manga came to the part that I've been dreading but have been expecting for a long time. It is now safe to say that the whole incest premise is a setup of an effective argument. Is it a good point of discussing taboo topics and the psychological breakdown of being in their position? Yes, is it cleverly done? Not quite.
From the premise of a patient and a doctor being reincarnated into siblings, with the heavy emphasis that Sarina/Ruby had been inlove with the doctor since her patient days AND her actively declaring her love for the doctor WHILE Aqua is listening. It's not supposed to be a shocker that she will still hold feelings until this day. Like it's EXPECTED.
But what makes this icky is that personally from a writing perspective it's a wonderfuck of lackluster. Like this chapter is supposed to be the shocker of the current arc but it's just not.
Selfishness and trauma drives the narrative that Ruby doesn't give a fuck on being inlove with his brother. She is so far gone that her rationality is clouded. Aqua is just the same, in regards that he sets Ruby as a pawn in his game of chess where he pretends to be a grandmaster. Because he's aware of Ruby's feelings but is he doing anything against it? No he's enabling it.
I have more to yap about but maybe next time
Overall, the author should think of another way to make twists with their incest narrative if they really wanna make a taboo topic to be the main hook for their story.
Oh...The last panel
It would take a war they said. Well good thing we know a resident war devil nearby.
Either that or Nayuta attacks.
So you're telling me Snake died with doubt and sadness in his heart? ༼;´༎ ༎༽
MY BOY NO...NOOOOO
This chapter just shows us how Denji's influence had helped on straying the Control Devil's innate need to control. Unlike Makima who was made to not feel remorse of controling humans, Nayuta does not enjoy the act like Makima does. She doesn't get the same battle high that Denji does when manipulating/killing humans.
That said, I'm not even keen on the idea that Denji likes the high of killing..
We anticipated this but it still hurts to see Denji be pushed to this extent : (
It seems that Denji can't catch a break. He finally had everything he wanted, a home, food, and family but it keeps getting ripped away from him by other people. It's always by other people, I feel so bad for him. Pochita's appearance used to give me so much hope but rn it gives me nothing but dread..
Okay wrong manga posted aside, isn't it a bit alarming that Denji's current wish is to be chainsaw man? I know he likes to own the title but it was shown plenty of times that he doesn't truly wish to be chainsaw man. Due to the fact that the very essence of being chainsaw man has caused him so much pain(he even acknowledged that Makima never wanted him, but chainsaw man).
Many has said that pochita's contract is rooted from something good in comparison to other contracts where the wager was something like a part of the body etc, while Pochita's is just to see denji's dreams. In theory the motivation is pure but it is a devil contract nonetheless. If Denji wills it, the contract can go on forever.
I still have a lot of lapses on my analysis but when did Denji ever act upon the feelings of revenge? Only towards Makima and even then he still felt remorse, but he knew what he had to do.
That's why his new wish is alarming to me because it is an opening to so many posibilities. That one panel where he's on the ground looking at Barem where his face is not shown, it is so ominous.
Bro didn't know what to do with Aqua so he just killed him off xD
I stand by what I said before, the story is a mess
Literally
