CSM rant. The tragedy of the Hayakawa family

The tragedy of Aki Hayakawa was not only his own, but also Denji's own suffering. What Makima did was to raise a dog. What She did was to build a foundation in which Denji could grow, flourish as a human being, using both Aki and Power as the core of this little dysfunctional rag tag trio, only to rip that away in the cruellest way possible. Destroy his home in front of his eyes, by his own hand.

Home is a person. Aki Hayakawa was already a gaping hole of loss and grief. And Power had no sense of what human connection feels like. They Worked as a perfect beat for Denji to bite into. For Makima, Denji was a dog and Power and Aki were the meat of an animal you fattened up to kill and feed the dog.

What was more disturbing is that, not only did she used Denji's own vulnerability against him, but also Aki and Power’s. She meticulously played her cards and chose those two as they work the best. When you are lonely for such a long time you simply try to grapple with whatever you can get your hands on. For Aki however, it was rather peculiar. He never really managed to cope with his loss. Which led it to fester and rot silently. He chose to keep the wound tender and burning as it would simply fuel his single minded death parade to kill the gun devil. But what he didn't expect was for him to feel so profoundly for each and everyone around him, he was still just a guy. He chose to build walls around himself, wear his cold anger on his face, to put on that unapproachable facade that led people to view him as a stoic jerk. But what he also wore was his heart on his sleeves. And somehow, some people choose to stick with him. Himeno being a prime example. The thing is, he lets people in without realising it. Because somewhere in him, he carves the connection.

And Denji, despite not looking like it, is highly sensible and empathetic when it comes to forming bonds and connection with people. It goes beyond his horniness but rather something that his teenage self also carves, the need for nurture and for a shoulder to lean on. Which is exactly what Aki is. He is stoic, he is a perfectionist and he knows how to take care of and nurture someone and to simply put, he is everything Denji needs in a guardian.

I guess I really want to talk about his sublit but prominent suicidal tendencies too. But let's save that for later.

With Power, it's something else but also not so different. The thing is, fiends also have empathy and feelings, they aren't exactly the heartless nightmare fuel that are often their devil counterpart. Power is kind of a different case then Denji and Aki. In where Denji chooses to shut his brain in order to make himself feel at home, and Aki simply ( trying ) to give his middle finger to establishing connection ( and failing to do so miserably ) Power is surprisingly open about it. She lets her emotions control the best of her. She is willing to bash Denji’s head open and probably get herself killed just to save her cat. And that openness is something that both Aki and Denji get more and more comfortable in. Power is selfish, she's a brat, but she cares. With her you don't have to pretend as she also has nothing to hide.

But Makima actually failed to fathom exactly how DEEP this connection between those three ran. And definitely not the outcome it will lead to.

And Denji himself as a person. Makima underestimated him a big time.

It's lowkey a fucking rant. I needed to proceed with the absolute psychological fuckary Makima dumped on those three unfortunate individuals. So yeah. It's kinda 'yap without any closure on sight ' kinda rant.

CSM Manga Spoilers ahead for the Gun Devil arc.

[angeldeviloshi]

Thinking about Gun Fiend.

And I've been thinking about how while symbolically it's a perverse yet merciful presentation of Aki being released from the burden caused by his trauma and loss, by having him return to being the child he was the day he lost his family and be the child he didn't get to be, I'm thinking about how this specific memory also aligns with the Gun Devil's premature, trigger happy nature.

The irony being that Gun is the source of pain of this memory as well.

Gun taking over Aki's body synced to his mind, and the connecting link is that day in the snow, the snowball fight and Aki's hatred towards Gun.

The snowball fight was Aki's memory of pure fun, Gun wants to have fun and deep down Aki does too. And with Aki as his host he processes having fun as Aki would, drawing upon Aki's memory as his own.

But it's not just the snowball fight that makes it fun, it's spending time with someone who cares, someone he can bond with to share that fun with him. It defeats the purpose when the other side isn't having a good time. He'd just be playing by himself.

So he stops when Denji's tears reaches him, this coupled with Aki's sentimentality.

Anyways its been setting my neurons on fire, as I've written in another thread before, fiendhood in csm is soo fascinating and underexplored but what's been given in canon is wild!! If we account for Beam's and Violence's fiendhood as well alongside this and of course AsaYoru's.

Quanxi's polycule has an interesting facet too in her humanisation of the fiends, getting them education, mourning them, caring for their safety, well-being despite them being devils and her a part devil former devil-hunter (kills devils) turned assassin (kills humans).

Fiends have largely been relegated to the background in p2 but theres soo much to dig into w the central theme p2 is driven by regarding identity in the lens of devil transformation.

And with the Gun Fiend, so much of him has been borrowed from Aki that in mourning he is effectively Aki in memory and resemblance to those who know and love him.

Even the parts that the characters don't see, when he has embodied the core of Aki's personhood and character in past, present and future.

He is the Gun Devil, but he's no longer just the Gun Devil, likewise Aki is dead but he's also present, preserved through Gun as a vessel yet Gun himself too acts as a carrier of what forms Aki.

And just the way despite this mismatch of body and mind, Aki and Gun, they converge into a perfect fit as destiny.

Gun's "fun" destroyed Aki's home, his family and Aki sees it as blood on his hands in what he costed his younger brother who indulged HIS fun, the snowball fight, the coldness in his hands transferred to Denji.

This kicking off Aki's obsession towards Gun such that he defines himself through it.

He's all about the Gun Devil as his life's purpose, possessed by it even if it means death, and it's in his death that Gun remains as a reminder of him.

Establishing itself as Gun with fun as he takes aim at the younger brother and destroys their home, the existence that forms Aki's guilt and hate, the existence Aki is led to transform into and memorialised through that guilt and hate.

The snowball fight that stains Aki's hands enacted by Gun as the origin through Aki's hand as he carries Aki's wish and his love as if they were his own, they have become each other slotting body and mind.

And the result is the walking film reel of a man's tragedy borne from a child's innocent wish.
