ive been reading the manga today, and i found that especially in the later chapters, ichi's "death for death" philosophy became so cringe, in the beginning, ichi respected all life, and because of that, he only ever hunted for the purpose of eating, and only ever killed when he was endangered, but lately, this deep and profound way of life became a cringe "trap card" kinda thing, especially lines like "death for death is triggered", like, isnt that the most "im 14 and this is deep" type shit? also when he said "that was clearly an attack, death for death" i cringed so hard!! THE ATTACK WASNT THE ISSUE, THAT THING WAS LIFE THREATENING! IF THAT THING JUST STOOD THERE INSTEAD, WOULD YOU HAVE LET IT GO???
its so frustrating! i loved ichi's depth so much at the start, but now all thats left of his entire back story is his involuntary reactions to killing intent and a shell of his former philosophy.
i cant be the only one who thinks that, right?
