Could Tippi be considered the same person as her past self when she has a different body and name with no memories of who she was?

I came up with this question when I was imagining what Sick from Kaiten Mutenmaru would say to torment Count Bleck if he had enough knowledge. Someone liked the idea so I decided to post it.

Tetsujin Granchio from Kaiten Mutenmaru

I love "i would kill for you" ship dynamics but what about "i would stop killing" ship dynamic??

I would lay down my sword for you. I would change my nature and go against everything i've known. I would resist the easy way out of solving my problems. I would give up the adrenaline of battle to stay by your side and make tea instead. I'm not sure I know who I am without a weapon in my hand because I've had to fight for so long but for you I'm willing to try and figure this out.

It must be hard. To put down your weapon that's protected you for so long. It's allowed you to stay alive it's kept you from getting hurt--physically and mentally. Because you've never had to worry about a real relationship if you think you'll be dead at the next battle. And you feel naked without it and it feels like you're ripping off an extension of yourself. Are you even whole without it? Are you worthy of being loved if you can't prove it by risking your life? And yet they've found someone who's asking them for something much harder than dying in battle on their behalf. They've found someone who wants them to live. And that's much more terrifying.

I have issues with the handling of Count Bleck in Super Paper Mario but it's not like I can't handle villains at all. In fact, Sick Valachlorophenol is one of my favorite characters from Kaiten Mutenmaru because he's a well-defined character compared to Count Bleck.

In Kaiten Mutenmaru, Sick is a terrifyingly competent and cruel villain who torments the main characters by himself throughout the story. He only forms toxic relationships with his "friends," where he corrupts vulnerable people and uses them for his plans until they are no longer useful to him. In fact, the webcomic shows Crocell Xylel, Mel Sue, and Umimi Shira as being better and happier once they escape his influence.

It is revealed near the end of Kaiten Mutenmaru that Sick was originally a kind child until an Abominable Crystal corrupted him at his lowest, but Mutenmaru points out that his past doesn't justify his evil deeds no matter how much he suffered. Sick shows remorse for his actions when the consciousness of his human self resurfaces in his last moments, but no living character witnesses it or mourns his death.

Unlike how Super Paper Mario frames the backstories of Nastasia and O'Chunks, the latter in the Japanese text, Kaiten Mutenmaru doesn't portray Sick's act of saving Eryth and Ritol Morte as children as a good thing. Instead, it highlights how the main characters were surrounded by friends and good adults while Eryth and Ritol were saved by a monster who encouraged their hatred and used them to spread suffering.

The original post perfectly describes what I love about the redemption arcs of Crocell Xylel, Umimi Shira, and Kid from Kaiten Mutenmaru.

"redemption arcs are toxic, you shouldn't try to fix someone!"

actually it is so important to me that being in community and experiencing human connection can save people. thanks

I'm interested in learning about more examples of characters who are held accountable for their flaws and actions, even if they are sympathetic or redeemable. I only remember Sick Valachlorophenol from Kaiten Mutenmaru and Scar from Fullmetal Alchemist.

I think Kaiten Mutenmaru could have handled the relationship between Astar Tame and Trishna Nolamine better. Astar's care for Trishna is meant to be a redeeming quality, even though he is outwardly indifferent at best and rough at worst for most of the time. But I appreciate how the webcomic handles the relationship between Astar and Tetsujin Granchio.

Astar and Tetsujin were once comrades when Tetsujin went by the name Tetsujin Unit No. 1. Astar was a human, while Tetsujin was a robot created to destroy humans. Their relationship soured when Tetsujin developed a desire to surpass his programming, which Astar didn't take seriously. Tetsujin yearned to experience human emotions after being influenced by an elderly woman who mistook him for her son, Granchio, and inadvertently taught him about love. When she passed away, Tetsujin parted ways with Astar and found meaningful connections with others.

Astar took the opposite path, unable to find purpose in life outside of the battlefield. Eventually, Astar became a monster under Sick's influence, believing that true strength could only be achieved by eliminating everything that makes a person human and vulnerable. Although Tetsujin and Astar were once old friends, neither the narrative nor other characters assert that everything bad between them is Tetsujin's fault for leaving Astar and pursuing his own identity beyond their relationship. Instead, it is Astar's refusal to see beyond his narrow perspective that damages his relationship with Tetsujin and ultimately leads to his downfall.

interesting!

here are some other sympathetic antagonists who are held accountable for their actions (some of them were redeemed, some of them weren't):

Jinx (Arcane)

Simon Laurent (Infinity Train)

Zuko (Avatar The Last Airbender)

Lord Viren (The Dragon Prince)

Grace Monroe (Infinity Train)

Azula (Avatar The Last Airbender)

Hugo (Kipo And The Age Of Wonderbeasts)

Peridot (Steven Universe)

Claudia (The Dragon Prince)

Sasha Waybright (Amphibia)
