His Greed Sickens Me

Swords and flos 🌟

Invalid reasons for why a character should not be redeemed:

They’re too evil! - Redemption has nothing to do with how good or evil you were to begin with.

They don’t deserve it! - Redemption is not something that can be “deserved.”

Their actions are unforgivable! - Redemption has nothing to do with forgiveness.

It’s too late for them to change! - It is only “too late” to choose redemption when a character is dead (unless the scope of the story includes an afterlife in which change is possible).

Valid reasons for why a character should not be redeemed:

It doesn’t fit the themes of the story.

They’re not an important enough character for showing the process of a redemption arc to be worthwhile.

They’re more interesting as a character who isn’t doing the right thing.

It’s more satisfying to let them keep being evil.

It makes it more satisfying when they die.

There’s probably more, but you get the idea.

Remember, redemption is when someone realizes they are wrong, and takes steps to doing the right thing. That is not something that can be “deserved,” it is not something that hinges on forgiveness, and it is not something that it is ever too late for! …Unless the person is dead or something.

People talk a lot about how they hope Akutagawas vampirism will heal him of his lung disease, but I really hope it doesn't. Curing Akutagawas illness this way would feel incredibly cheap, and I'd be highly disappointed. Especially after this

This moment is not only impactful because Akutagawa confesses his illness (something he views as a weakness) it was the first time Atsushi saw humanity in Akutagawa it was also setting up stakes for Akutagawas character i feel like throwing that all away with a magical vampirism cure would be one of the worst things for his arc

Enjoy the chapter~

On another note I’m so glad Germany won bc it’s more likely Rin will lose his mind like I wanted him to which I cannot wait for

On the other hand when things go too well for the protagonist for too long I worry a little and wonder when it’s going to crash down.

On the OTHER HAND when I think of the entire arc I remember how fucking awful things have been for him pretty much the whole arc so it might just be recency bias. Not only with Kaiser but Rin really shook things up and made it a special kind of hell for him. And Rin asked for this by being so obsessive abd misplacing his anger in Isagi and not mentally preparing for the very real possibility that Isagi would beat him. Can’t wait for that break down lol

Untouched points: Bachira has lost all his games and ChigirI and Nagi lost all their games, and they’re currently playing each other right now. The undefeated team just got confirmed so now we’re waiting on who is the team that never defeated anybody

Reasons for Bachira to loss: opportunity to grow, be the opposite of Isagi and make room for a plot point for them to meet in the middle (Isagi iron out some of his flaws/hold ups and Bachira grow), love story in the making I believe in them

Reasons for Nagi to lose: crash out divorce #3 backslide #2 dumpster fire arc that is inevitable whether he wins or loses but if he loses it’ll flow nicely; Nagi and Rin both being the main personal conflicts in the end makes the most sense to me as they’re both really tied to Isagi, this is the reality even though Isagi has never once directly done anything to them, so they’ll be responsible for figuring their own drama out, also possible Bachi is in on this drama somehow too, all tied to Isagi

Reason for Chigiri to lose: uhhh leg injury lurking in the corner, drama with Kunigami unaddressed and it’ll be interesting that one wins all their games and one loses all their games (dramatic love story dawg), Kaneshiro said he was gonna be an asshole somehow so this could open the way for that

Personally I want Nagi to lose but both options are good

I’m so glad Germany won lol

We already know Isagi and Sae are gonna team up so I’m assuming Isagi is gonna continue to indirectly ruin Rin’s life and this will lead to Sae and Rin figuring their shit out.
