I was giving it the benefit of the doubt because this was years ago but like that's absolutely Destroying his character ??

Like okay sure i might be overreacting but I remember being so shocked at seeing Takeshi up the roof, its a striking moment and when you realise that he attributed his entire personal worth to what people expect him to be and that he thought he was nothing when that got taken away momentarily, it makes you Weep for him and Then you can see his own personal growth of accepting his worth

Im sorry im very emotional about Takeshi even years down TwT

THEY REALLY DIDN'T. isn't that crazy???

like yeah, you've said it all and i totally agree. not showing it to us, not showing us the thought process behind it, not showing us what snaps him out of that mental state absolutely changes the understanding of his character the manga was going for. AND it also undermines his growth going forward, takes weight and meaning away from it. like when he sacrifices his arm to beat ken in the kokuyo arc. like yeah, you still know it is a sacrifice from him for the sake of helping tsuna in the name of their friendship, but you don't know it's a sacrifice in the sense where not too long ago, he was ready to kill himself over a similar injury.

and thinking about it more while i'm typing this, it also undermines his relationship with tsuna and changes both the understanding of their dynamic and of tsuna himself. like if iirc in the anime it's all about how tsuna is this suddenly capable guy who beats moshida in kendo and helps his team win in volleyball, so yams is all like, "haha, fun. let me keep hanging out with you a bit more!" and like. no!!!!!!!! and i mean, yes, that does also play a part in what catches yams' attention about tsuna in the manga, but that's not the point at all.

it was all about how in his pov, tsuna was suddenly making a comeback from rock bottom, while he himself wasn't seeing any way out of his broken arm when he'd always been at the top. it was about how he'd always been at the top, and how scared he was it wouldn't matter anymore at all if he failed at staying there even once. how scared he was he wouldn't be worth anything anymore at all if he failed at staying at the top even once.

it was about how tsuna saw him at his rock bottom and said to him "yes, of course you still have worth even now. you can fail at times, and it won't ever make you any less worth it.". it was about how tsuna saw him at his rock bottom and said to him "this, too, is just another proof of how hard you're always working, and it's so impressive of you. i know this, too, is still you doing your best, and it's enough.".

like? i know you get it so i'll stop rambling now haha but i just. i mean, i do get they couldn't just show his suicide attempt like that, but to erase all of his internal struggles entirely like that?? a complete disservice to his character, to say the least.

Hey asshole was an absolute delight to binge, im not done with devine comedy but holy shit-

Seriously your writing is amazing !

My cat's belly is yours to scratch

Have a another kitty, she always sleeps on back

If you make a pole again, could you make one about the fave siblings/familial bonds in khr ? The serie gives us so many different bonds that are so so cool to explore

Like Team as family is literally part of the plot lmao

Hey there. <3 Thank you for the ask!

Ohhh this is such a great idea!!! I wanted to do a poll on something else first, but sure, let's do this one first!!

Who are we talking about tho? Just to make sure i won't forget anyone lol.

I'm thinking tsuna & lambo/i-pin/fuuta, gokudera & bianchi, ryohei & kyoko, mukuro & kokuyo gang/chrome (?), hibari & fon, bel & rasiel, bel & mammon/fran (?), and i think that's it off the top of my head? 🤔 Oh wait, should we have the shimon on there too?

So i was browsing khr fanfics and saw something about fanon concepts like soul bonding ?

Do you know about it ? I've been a fan of khr for a while but that was before joining any fandom spaces so I have no idea of what's going on xD

It's alright if you dont, im only curious especially if there's no big answer :3

Have a good day !

hi there! 😊 you sent this a while ago so maybe you already found your answer somewhere else, but i do know about this, yeah! and there is a big answer for it for sure zersdgdfg.

so basically this is a big part of the fanon lore the fandom came up with surrounding dying will flames. it builds upon the concept of guardians (and flames) in the manga and absolutely runs with it lol. the two big ideas it's based upon is that 1) flames goes deeper than your dying will turned energy. they go soul-deep, and so are, like, the manifestation/embodiment of your soul, and 2) another use of the harmony attribute skies have is that it allows the harmonization of dying will flames, which is basically the soul bonding you're talking about here. (and now i think about it, i'd say there's actually a third big idea too where dying will flames are some kind of sixth sense that allows you to know about someone's feelings/emotions/thoughts to various degrees.)

as for the specifics, there's actually already a post of mine where we discussed that particular bit of fanon lore (commonly referred as harmonization) in details! if you go through the notes and read everyone's thoughts about it, it should give you a clear idea of what soul bonding is all about.

it won't give you an exhaustive one tho! because i might be wrong here, but i think harmonization is just about the most developed bit of fanon lore we have? but either way, even if it's a trope easily recognizable at, like, its core, everyone still have their own takes on it, and so it can be different enough from fic to fic. the post might also give you outdated idea about it, at least when it comes to what i shared about it, because it was all from what i read back in 2016-2018. i have no idea what harmonization looks like in fics nowadays because it isn't something that appeals to me anymore, but the post should still help you making it something not foreign or unfamiliar anymore!
