YOU FOOL. AWAY WITH YOU YOU FUCKING FOOL.

Look at his face. Look at his sorrow

The absolute most solemn look I've seen on Akutagawa, where he realizes Atsushi wasn't just some beast he could kill. Atsushi wasn't just an obstacle or a test, because Atsushi is human

Akutagawa sees that in him

I have no idea how Asagiri is gonna handle the end of the six months deal, knowing him it's going to be what literally no one could've expected, but the premise really interests me now. It always did beforehand, but still, now we know more about how Akutagawa feels about Atsushi. And Akutagawa doesn't know it yet, but Atsushi witnessed his past and trauma. They're bonded, connected and understand each other on yet another level now

And genuinely, I don't think Akutagawa can kill Atsushi

Ok I am certain I am not the first, nor will be the last to think of it that way but.. Is nobody gonna talk about how Atsushi just gave him the most intense bedroom eyes in that panel.

Excuse me but,, ,the soft gaze with heavy eyelids, the coyly arched eyebrow, the tenderest of smiles. Idk about you but I sure don't look at my friends/rivals that way. There is not a single not-romantic thing about this look (and this line, but you already knew that).

He overcame his fear of death for Aku's sake with zero certainty of what's to come. In this short fragment of time there was no pain, no worry in his eyes, just pure adoration and peace of mind that he’d finally done the right thing.

Tell me you're in love with him without telling me you're in love with him

beast Akutagawa

I like the idea of SSKK always running into each other when they're going places, only to start arguing and fighting, forgetting what they were doing in the first place, and then somehow hanging out together. It's like suddenly no one knows how it happened. They go to the bakery, buy some sweets, and have a soft argument about which one they should get. The baker, of course, is eyeing them because what the heck, those two look like they were fighting. And I'm talking FIGHTING, ripped clothes, messy hair, and bruises... and they were, in fact, fighting

I WILL NEVER GET OVER BSD X TAYLOR SWIFT THINGS 🙏 they're always so good 😭

Exactly! Atsushi's a hugger, so him hugging Akutagawa wouldn't even be a stretch

Especially since it would be relationship development from how Akutagawa used to say "don't touch me" to him

Also Atsushi doesn't just hug, he basically tackles, so considering the fact that Akutagawa would be tired af from fighting, if Atsushi did end up hugging him he would probably knock Akutagawa to the ground lol 😭

Yk, with the eventual sskk reunion, them hugging is 100% a real possiblity

Right after Ranpo and Poe kidnapped Kunikida from the hospital and brought him back, Atsushi literally leaped and hugged Kuni

I think he'd hug Akutagawa when he sees him again (or maybe vice versa if Akutagawa really is that emotional now)

Both sides of sskk can't even deny their feelings now, it's amazing development

If we ever do get blessed with a sskk hug in the future, I will have a heart attack from happiness

Absolutely gutwrenching choice they made when they showed us Akutagawa coming to the conclusion that he had to kill Atsushi, only to have that realization be directly followed by the most mournful and regretful expression Akutagawa can show. The authors of this manga love sskk so freaking much

So who do YOU think did it 🤨⁉️
