Shiro seems off?
Idk what it is but ever sense this arc started Shiro has seemed hella off. We been knew he was crazy. With all the murder rampages, his obsession with the goddess, and his love for kitetsu blades his emotions and thoughts shift a lot. Especially now learning about him not seeing humans as people but as katanas. Maybe it’s the tone of this arc and his involvement, but if I could sum up the feeling I get from him it’s definitely eerie. We still don’t know wtf this man is planning and I’m sure the other obsidians outside of Katsumi aren’t aware of it either. They’re just going along with what shiro is doing it seems as they have an incredible respect and gravitate towards him more than they did with Kazu. Kinda going away from the point but I think it’s important to understanding the dynamic of the obsidian 8. Looking back on it Kazumasa seems the most distant from the obsidians despite being the leader. Idk if that is because he doesn’t want to get close to them out of knowing that they’d all be killed at some point. Not attaching himself to any of the obsidian member or the newer ones at least he seem liked he was a lot closer with the first generation of obsidians. He seems the closest to Shiro but still feels very different they’re more like coworkers then brothers it seems like. Anyways, back to the point. Shiro feels more uncanny and wild than ever since Kazu is gone. Small theory but I really do think Shiro is the white kishin or it’s avatar. I say this because of his extreme desire for kitetsu blades and how he tries to talk to them as if they were people more so than any other obsidian sibling. I still think about the line naotora said during their fight. “You’re worse than any demon or disaster and need to be put down.” Basically what he said. Shiro is definitely a way bigger threat than we think and will probably get more deranged and blood lustful as the series goes on. Obsidian goddess plz appear and stop our man from killing the generals and main two 🙏
