The weird pattern of trying to rip black characters from the hands of black people, who already have so little representation in the anime space is disturbing. I feel like no matter how unapologetically, how undeniably, how very clearly black a Manga artist will make a character, if they make them look "too cool" or have too interesting of a personality nonblacks will start frothing at the mouth to tell you all the reasons this character couldn't be black. Like, you're just racist 😭😭 you actually like it that black people aren't looked upon favorably in Japan because it means less black people in your anime. Or, black people who are drawn and written to be disgusting stereotypes. You HATE it when they're depicted in real ways, despite screaming down black people's throats when they make edits of characters. You scream for us to support "real" black characters, then do this EVERY time a cool one comes out. You're sick in the head!! Desscaras is a black woman!!

Osamu Nishi, I will forever love your belief that "Kids should be protected by adults, even if this is Shounen."
