Just watched the chapter 3 audio(spoilers btw, if you even care-)
But yeah Kumadas death was for nothing and she was just a free kill for Shishikura because the story treated her like that and Ikeda impersonated Yaitabashi and got executed but that part wasnt what pissed me off the most-
it was the fact that nearing end where Ninomiya and Matthias were talking, Ninomiya was afraid of Ruka because she took his insulin and now the story will make Ruka to be this cowardice villain who is keeping Ninomiya quiet and to not say anything and Ruka does all of this...because she wants to go home and leave????
God, it genuinely pisses me off when a character literally does a whole 360 on their actions because the story wants to be more interesting and the reason why I feel so strongly about this is because Ruka, idk if yall noticed, is kinda my comfort character in way and just seeing do this completely selfish act against the FIRST EVER FRIEND SHE MADE HERE is just wildly....UGHHHH whatever.
Ruka was supposed to be the character that was a tired and anxious but sweet, kind leader who didn't wanna exclude anyone, who didnt want anyone to die, WHO DIDNT WANT ANYONE TO DIE UNLESS THEY ESCAPE TOGETHER???? like it seriously grinds my gears. Oh Ruka Yokoi The Ultimate Spelling Bee Champion, you truly....TRULY deserve to be apart of a better fangan.
