I Dont Think I’ll Ever Get Over How At Peace Kunikida Looks Here. I Don’t Really Know How To Phrase

i dont think i’ll ever get over how at peace kunikida looks here. i don’t really know how to phrase if but it’s something about how kunikida has always been ready to sacrifice himself, how he has never shied away from death’s door, as if that is the only way he can truly fulfill his ideals

what will kunikida do when he finally achieves it all? i believe he sets this perfect, ridiculously high standard for himself for a sense of purpose, or rather a reason to live. will he still choose to live without it?

there’s something symbolic about how kunikida separates from his notebook when he sacrifices himself. it’s as if he is tethered to living because of his ideals, and when he goes, he leaves behind his notebook, releasing himself at last

jouno once asked if he was relieved to be freed from his self-inflicted burden. at that time, i believe the answer was still ‘no’, for it wasn’t fully his choice. he still had much to do, the agency was messy and running, he couldn’t truly die in peace

manga panel from bungou stray dogs. kunikida looks up with bleary eyes, smiling peacefully. there is a bit of blood dripping from his lips. he says, 'Great... Fantastic move.'

this time, even though i don’t believe he’s fully dead, i think kunikida is okay with dying here. because atsushi just saved junichirou! he chose to fight for what’s left instead of ceaselessly grappling for something already fading. it’s something that kunikida has taught him since the very first day—think about what you can do. kunikida himself wasn’t able to save them, but atsushi did, and in him, his ideals will continue to live. atsushi’s actions showed him that even if he dies, they’ll be okay. they’ll be okay without him

i think that’s why this is the most at peace we’ve ever seen kunikida. to know that his teachings have impacted someone and that it wasn’t all for naught. this is relief

Gi-hun: (Trying to teach Sang-woo how to relax) Okay, close your eyes and imagine you're on a beautiful beach. The sun is shining, the waves are gently lapping at the shore...

Sang-woo: (Eyes still closed, but tense) And there's probably a guy there trying to scam me with a timeshare. I need to calculate the present value of the offer and determine if it's worth the risk. Is the beach in international waters? What are the tax implications of off-shore holdings?

Gi-hun: (Sighs) Maybe try a different beach.

Sang-woo: Gi-hun, I need your help. I’ve made a terrible mistake.

Gi-hun: (Immediately alarmed) What? Did you…did you get involved in something illegal again? Did you bankrupt another company? Steal from your mother again?!

Sang-woo: (Sighs) I bought a plant. And I don’t know how to take care of it.

Gi-hun: (Blinks) ...You’re telling me that this is the life-altering crisis that requires Gi-hun's aid?

Gi-hun: You know, sometimes I wonder what would have happened if things had been different. If we hadn't ended up where we are.

Sang-woo: Probably the same thing. You'd be borrowing money from me, and I'd be regretting every financial decision I've ever made. The only difference is maybe we'd be arguing in a nicer apartment.

Gi-hun: Hey! I paid you back! …Mostly.

So you guys know how kunikida isn't traumatized but think about this you know how in most shows there's a character that has a normal life but get this in every episode or session the normal character ends up getting traumatized and we seen that kunikida has traumat as well but maybe there's more plans for kunikida because there's barely any character without trauma

So yeah maybe they have plans for kunikida

Plus katai can have delated anything about kunikida past as well like

🤔🤔🤔
