#ritsu DIDNT understand shigeo!! he thought the explosion came from being rejected by tsubomi!!

Do you ever think about the Ritsu confession arc fight from Shigeo's perspective. I read a very good post a while ago suggesting what Shigeo was trying to do was check Ritsus head for injuries and I've never been the same. Do you ever think about it. I do all the time. Mobs screaming that he's a monster and to step away from that Thing. Do you ever think about it. Do You Ever Think About It. <- is normal. <- is lying. Is not normal. (Sorry this is incoherent. I am rattled by uh. Current events. Gestures. Anyway

it’s the only confession arc confrontation where there’s not really any hostility at all from shigeo. which is just. wow!!

first he immobilizes ritsu. i’m honestly not sure where i stand on the “shigeo was checking ritsu’s head for injuries” stance (although it is awesome), but i do 100% believe that whatever i think he was doing, it wasn’t aggressive. (however i will say that i also believe ritsu Would have been badly hurt if he hadn’t hit his 100%- shigeo’s power output was extremely high and considering his steps were CRACKING THE CONCRETE i don’t think having him touch your head while leaking that much power is very safe)

and then the bouquet man. ritsu attacks the bouquet- teru tried this and shigeo damn near killed him. what did ???% do? launch him in the air (and cushion his landing presumably since ritsu wasn’t hurt afterwards).

and ritsu being the first outside person to see and outwardly affirm ???% as a part of the brother he loves? incredible.

(AND MOB YELLING TO GET AWAY FROM THAT THING. THE MONSTER. BUT THE THING AND THE MONSTER ARE JUST. HIM. SHIGEO BECAME SOMETHING TO BE FEARED ONLY BECAUSE HE FEARED HIMSELF)
