#. listen this comes from a place of 1) desperately wanting to LIKE niragi but hey he tried to rape usagi twice

[eohachu]

since i don't know the original at all take this w a grain of salt, but i honestly like that niragi got a second chance. i feel like the characters in the borderland were some sort of idealisations of their true selves, with either hightened or lowered morale or whatever you wanna call it

so what i want to believe is that niragi literally demonised himself so much that in the borderland he became this self obsessed monster whose entire identity circled around being evil - in some scenes it even seems like he needs to force himself to do something evil bc everything else would go against his self image

and that is not exactly the niragi we see a glimpse of later at the hospital. yeah he's still speaking in a self deprecating way but it's a very different tone. and i have high hopes that he will not become his borderland self in the real world, because now he has Chishiya.
