My victory? It was all a dream!?!
gavv continues to be my favorite rider despite having only 5 episodes out.
i love that shouma's uncle is supportive but from a perspective that doesn't take his feelings into account, let alone his mom. he can only see it from the angle that the rest of the family will fucking kill him for existing.
it nags at shouma because. what if his uncle is right? what if all their suffering was justified, and meant to protect them? that he's wrong to feel this way?
it's not until helping a child get their toy out of the drain that he realizes.
it's not his fault, it's the rest of his family's fault.
and it's after realizing this that he takes a bite of hot chip, and gains another good memory (the physical metaphor being his hirihiri gozicho that he uses to kill one of the agents)
What I like about episode 5 is that even though Bouche supposedly had noble intentions for making Michiru and Shouma miserable for years, he still hurt them and Shouma's feelings aren't rendered invalid because "Bouche did it out of love". An explanation isn't going to erase the years Shouma spent seeing his mother cry for countless nights - or resolve his trauma and helplessness when his half siblings murdered his mother, even though she didn't qualify as good Dark Snack spice (therefore rendering Bouche's efforts moot; it just delayed the inevitable, sadistic actions of his other children)
I also like how Shouma, by deciding he wants to keep making people happy despite the risks, is breaking away from perpetuating a cycle created by his father? Bouche thought letting Michiru and Shouma be happy would put them in danger, but rather than gathering his resolve to protect them with everything he had - or send them far away - or at the very least shut down the very company profiting off the deaths of humans - he isolated them and treated them horribly. In a similar vein, Shouma tried to isolate himself from humans; initially because he saw himself as a monster (which ties into his poor self-image), then because his presence made humans prime Dark Snack ingredients. However, how effective is that strategy when Shouma's left lonely and with no way of really moving forward from the past, while the people he made new connections with are left wondering if they did something wrong, and possibly develop misconceptions about him? It's ultimately a useless course of action, and if anything continues to pin the blame on Shouma and other targeted humans when the fault truly lies with a family relying on the happiness of the 'weak' to assert their superiority
SURVIVE.... NO MATTER WHAT... JUST SURVIVE!!!
how are u on gavv so far? because i need to scream about how insane it has been (and that zakuzakuchips and fuwamallow have won special places in my heart)
