Hakuri, his true value, the girl from his past and the Rakuzaichi Arc

This started as me trying to tweet about some Rakuzaichi Arc and Hakuri thought because I still didn't get over it (I started Kagurabachi yesterday and already read all the chapters released lol) and it ended up much longer than I expected. I'm sure most of this would have already been said by someone, and is mostly me rambling but…

"You talk with me. Thanks to you I've enjoyed this meals."

The way something so simple really gave Hakuri enough strength to move forward, made him not lose hope in life, still makes me feel things.

"We talked… We talked together…"

The way his last attempt at stopping her is that, the words that gave him hope. He wanted to give back some of the hope he found in those words, to at the very least say "you were there for me, and talked with me, and that wasn't meaningless because thanks to you I thought it was ok for me to still be there. It's not that I talked with you, we talked together. You said we were both the same so if I have value you have it too".

The way he remembers how he specifically reinforced her idea of how, even if being sold wasn't her fate, she is unable to be with other people or be a normal person. His words can't reach her because she's been cornered, she really doesn't see hope.

Even if Hakuri's family mistreated him he still hoped they loved him. He was still waiting for the praise of his father after seeing how he was fully aware of the beatings and still turned his back on him. When he was explaining how his big brother always was "conveniently" losing the tools to beat him up so he will surely go back to beating him the old-fashioned way he sounded like he was trying to find some love in that, "He doesn't really want to hurt me that much, see? He lost the tool again." Even when believing his brother wanted to kill him when describing him he said "he loves me".

When she says her lover sold her I think it also resonates with him because it lets him see how she truly stopped believing someone could truly love her, and he understands her despair because he's also motivated by wanting his loved ones to love him back.

Throughout the arc Hakuri finally discovers he actually had talent with sorcery. One of the reason for being bullied and his low self-esteem was the belief that he didn't have any talent in that area, and his family didn't really care enough to realize it wasn't true or aknowledge any of his efforts to still serve the family.

He feels useless not being able to do more but let's be honest, he was doing his best with the non-sorcery stuff and at some point his lack of talent wasn't even the problem. The moment Soya, his big brother, realized Hakuri was no longer the pathetic and weak little brother he believed he was he got angry and refused to believe it, and his father just aknowledged the mistake of not having noticed his true talents before but didn't really believed in his potential even when presented with the evidence. Chihiro tells Kyora (the father) he should have believed in Hakuri and the father still manages to underestimate Hakuri again other three times, convinced that "ok he surpassed what I believed him capable of but he can't do more", his defeat is partly caused by his refusal to look at his son and realize he was great all along, something Soya also does. They both convinced themselves that Hakuri was a failure no matter what. Shiba only needed a day or two to look at that boy and realize he was in fact super talented without Hakuri doing anything big, but they have literal proof Hakuri is a talent not seen since the first generation and they still insisted he was no good, truly blind to the facts.

"Even if it was all lies (…) This time, I'll prove it"

Hakuri says this in his fight with Soya. Yeah, he knows maybe the words that girl said to him were just a way of gaining his sympathy, he can't be sure, but as she said he was trapped in a cage that made him unable to see his own worth.

He thought if his loved ones saw him as worthless he truly was worthless, but thanks to her words he slowly realized he still has value that is not conditional on his family or being useful to them and he found other people who valued him for who he is.

Even if her telling him he had value could have been said without truly believing in it, he will prove she was right: Hakuri is using sorcery, he's refusing to lose hope and let his family words become true, refusing to stop fighting; his brother is still screaming he won't amount to anything but no amount of words can change the fact that that's no longer true.

She said they were the same, rejects, and it's true that when they met both believed no one would ever value them. But she was the first to make Hakuri feel like he was important to someone, and that made her important to him too.

By proving he has worth and not losing hope he's also proving that if they were the same then she wasn't just merchandise. She was valuable as a person even if someone she cared about didn't value her, it was her words that taught him that.

Hakuri finally asks Chihiro to slay his father after he sees how one of his brothers died protecting a worthless door. This request it's the final step to accept that yeah, while Hakuri still loved his father and wanted him to praise him he's no longer dependent on his acknowledgement, because he has finally found himself and knows what he wants to do.

I think the whole family affair was tied up already with the end of the arc but I wonder if we will see any of his family members (like Soya) in the future. I don't think it's super necessary right now because Hakuri has already moved past his family and has other goals now and I'm sure with the Rakuzaichi dismantled the brothers will have their hands full looking for a way to survive (I guess they will end up putting to use the fact that they are proficient sorcerers? But I guess they will lay low for a while) but since they are still alive it wouldn't be so rare if they appear again in the future.

Kinda unrelated (didn't know where to fit this), but going back to the girl in Hakuri's past (I just realized she was never given a name and Hakuri didn't ask either), all her story also made me think about the first arc with Char: Char's mother body had special properties so she was hunted down for it, someone she trusted sold her, she ended up trapped and used as a guinea pig. The biggest difference was Char's mother had someone who still loved her (her daughter) so she never let the situation make her lose all hope.

And despite that, hope alone wasn't enough, one could say she never found someone who was willing to help her and she died trapped in there. Yeah, the girl from Hakuri's past wasn't entirely wrong, her fate looked quite bad and she didn't have anyone for her to still try despite the odds, it's quite possible even if she really did escape she would have ended up back into the black market or hunted down (let's be honest, Hakuri at most could have let her escape but he didn't seem to have the power to protect her), it's undeniable. But then... then we have Char, who also kept believing she had a chance at happiness because someone she cared for was wishing for her to not give up and keep looking for it, and she didn't give up and found people who care of her and won't see her as a tool or a monster. Yeah, she was lucky to find Chihiro's group, but she is mostly safe right now.

So, at the end, we don't really know what would have happened if the girl from Hakuri's past didn't lose hope. We have seen the two outcomes happening.

Being completely honest (and after having said all of this, lol) I'm not sure how much Hakuri was willing or able to help her, I assume the "let's eat together outside" was him letting her know the "let's escape together" was on the table? Or was it a last favor to her? Either way I think it was when everything went down that he finally fully realized how horrible was the situation and thought about how he should have done more before that point. Like his determination to stop the Rakuzaichi and his realization of how horrible it was were that strong because she did something very extreme, but I don't know if he was determined about stopping it before that. When he first talks about how he started to realize it was wrong he's shown in a suit looking at a group of prisioners so I assume he was already somewhat doubtful by the point in time he met her and still was hard to convince him/he still talked about merchandise and all that, so maybe he was willing to let her escape, maybe even prepared to be disowned and receive a beating, but wasn't really thinking about stopping the whole thing, I don't know.

Anyway, if someone read all of this... hope you enjoyed it (?)
