[krisalyce]

guys don’t worry it’ll be ok asagiri actually came over and told me so

[whathorselegs]

Haven't been able to get these words out of my head. The fact they are the last thing he says. At first, I was just like "Okay, that's a very Kunikida thing to say" but then I put them into context of what just happened.

He'd been impaled and was desperately trying to use his last moments to allow Tanazaki time to escape. He knew he wasn't living after this, so as per his ideals he was going to fight until his last breath to save another life. If he can die in-service of helping someone else survive, that's enough for Kunikida.

And then he hears Atsushi shout his name. Atsushi ran up from behind Amenogozen, Kunikida probably saw him coming as well. He gripped the sword in his chest with the last of his strength to aid Atsushi in whatever way he could.

And Atsushi chose to save Tanizaki. The very thing he'd been trying to do just seconds before.

That why I think he'd smiling here, that's why I think he says his ideals will live on. Not in some abstract way, but in a direct reference to Atsushi, because he was Atsushi's mentor too. From day one, Atsushi has been seeking guidance from Kunikida, even when he didn't know how to give it.

One of the first pieces of advice Kunikida gives Atsushi is to "start thinking what you can do."

And it has been something he's been trying to figure out ever since. What can he do to help those who need it? To be worthy of living?

Both Atsushi and Kunikida want to save people. Both of them have been struggling on how to achieve that this whole time. Saving people isn't just a single action to Kunikida, it's sacrifice, it's taking on a burden, it's knowing you're tied to this person afterwards.

It's knowing you can't always save everyone no matter how much you want to. It's prioritizing saving who can and living with that.

Kunikida knew he couldn't be saved, but he hoped Tanizaki could. When Atsushi chose to leave him and save Tanizaki he following in Kunikida's footsteps.

His ideals will live on, in Atsushi.

i don’t think amenogozen is truly killing people

remember how teruko melted and all that was left was her hd uniform?

the hunting dogs took her in, gave her a home, gave her a real purpose. that uniform represents who she is.

but when kunikida melted, his clothes went with him, and what was left behind instead?

his notebook. his ideals. his ideals represent who he is.

the thing that represents who they are is left behind.

i know that doesn’t really explain anything, but it’s at least enough for me to cause some doubt

[whathorselegs]

Just noticed my top posts look like Chuuya is about to kick Kunikida in the face and call him a bitch for getting poetic as he dies

[welivetodream]

Atsushi: I am really sorry for your loss little girl 😔

Aya: why do my dad's keep dying

Atsushi: oh....did you have two dads?

Aya: uh huh, technically four

Atsushi: h-how did that happen

Aya: I have a biological dad, who was the worst thing in my life

Atsushi: oh sorry

Aya: then I got Kunikida and things were okay for while, then he died.

Atsushi, tears forming: yes I just saw that 😭

Aya: Bra-chan became my dad too, he thinks I remind him of his daughter

Atsushi: awww 🥺

Aya: he was killed by Dosto-whatever-his-name-is in front of me

Atsushi: not him too

Aya: then the Dosto-person became my new dad, which I didn't consent to, he took Bra-chan's body!

Atsushi: this cannot get weirder

Aya: after all that Bra-chan came back to life for a min and gave me a new dad to replace him

Atsushi: and who's that?

Akutagawa: Princess, I brought your favourite doughnuts!

Atsushi: A-Akutagawa? What are you---

Aya: Oh here he is my new dad

Atsushi: you are a dad now?

Akutagawa: yes, it just happened recently. Jinko we have a child now.

Atsushi: W-We what?
