#jeez...

Even when he does save Megumi (and I'm saying 'does' because I can), it won't make up for everything that has happened and we know Megumi would be 100% okay.

On top of that, has Yuji ever actually claimed to want to be awarded? Like, actually been like "I deserve this" and "I deserve that".

The most this kid actually believed he deserved is death.

Yuji isn't a competitive person and he isn't prideful either. He's more mature and pessimistic than people actually credit him for.

Sometimes, I feel like that bright side of his blinds the fandom into believing he's so naive that he doesn't realize the harsh reality of the jujutsu world.

Like, when Yuji ate that Cursed Finger way in the beginning he didn't go "I won't die, I'll find a way to consume all the fingers and live!"

QUESTION: Who is your favorite character to write in Fire and Blood? GEORGE R. R. MARTIN: Daemon Targaryen, the Rogue Prince, is one of my favorite Targaryens. He’s very charismatic, he’s very changeable. You never know what he’s gonna do, what side he’s gonna come down on. Is he gonna do something appalling? Is he gonna do something heroic? He does both in the course of this, and I like that kind of complexity in my characters. I like people who have a little humanity to them. Because I think all of us have both good and evil in us.

Meanwhile, the House of Dragon writers...

RYAN CONDAL: I’m having trouble understanding it. We established right out of the gate, in the pilot, that Daemon is a fascinating guy, but he’s not Ned Stark. To me, Daemon is the antihero of this story. He’s a character with a real darkness to him, who’s dangerous and charming in equal parts. I knew people would be fascinated by him and latch onto him, but I figured they’d do it in the way they did with Jaime Lannister or Bronn or the Red Viper. I did not think they would oddly apply this sort of super-fandom to him and try to justify every single thing he’s done as being intrinsically heroic. It simply isn’t. It’s not the case. I see Daemon as having heroic aspects to him, and I understand why people would. I mean, he’s incredibly charismatic, he’s handsome, he looks great in that wig, he rides a dragon, he has a cool sword. I totally get it. But if you’re looking for Han Solo, who’s always going to do the right thing in the end, you’re in the wrong franchise, folks. SARA HESS: He’s become Internet Boyfriend in a way that baffles me. Not that Matt isn’t incredibly charismatic and wonderful, and he’s incredible in the role. But Daemon himself is… I don’t want him to be my boyfriend! I’m a little baffled how they’re all, “Oh, daddy!” And I’m just like: “Really?” How — in what way — was he a good partner, father or brother — to anybody? You got me. He ain’t Paul Rudd.

Danny looking mighty fine as the Flash....
