1000 years to turn into a tree, then wait — probably 100s of years — for the tree to die, then and only then can you return to your body. What the hell, Fujimoto?
Also, can't believe Yoru just decides to give in to random horniness... again...
god i feel so bad for denji, i'm so glad this chapter happened though because so many people have been acting like denji "forgot everything" from part 1. the fact those allegations even existed in the first place annoy me. anyways, huge W for denji's character in this chapter and now onto my feelings.
yoru. yoru yet again has taken a massive spotlight for me because of her relationship with denji. there's a lot of people out there that think her SAing denji, especially in this chapter, makes her feel pleasure and passion and whilst this may be true, i actually disagree for that being the ONLY reason. i believe that for quite some time now fuji has been cooking up some serious confused thoughts for yoru, some thoughts i believe might be her warped vision of love for him.
she's so confused about denji. she spends time watching him grovel and feel sorry for himself, and after telling him she will hit him, she then takes a moment to look at him. you can see the distress on her face, there's like a million thoughts going through her head and the first action she takes is to kiss him.
this is still SA, and i don't want to defend yoru, but she's a devil that has been absolutely obsessed with war and guns and destruction that she has most likely never felt this way before and doesn't know how to act. ages ago, back before nayuta was introduced, her first show of intimacy was when denji talked to asa in his apartment, jokingly (or maybe not) talking about their date leading to kissing which asa immediately rejected. yoru then pounced at the opportunity clearly trying to take control of him, this failing when nayuta stepped in. this was the only time affection was brought up properly infront of her (i think? i have forgotten quite a bit.) and she probably believes it's the only form of comfort perhaps? it has been a long time since yoru tried to turn denji into a weapon, and due to fami's mission, i don't think she's necessarily allowed to. basically what i'm trying to say is i don't believe any of this was done to harm denji. at least I HOPE. please let him be happy soon, fuji.
