"'fandom' is a vehicle of marginalized subcultural groups (women, the young, gays, etc.) to pry open space for their cultural concerns within dominant representations; it is a way of appropriating media texts and rereading them in a way that serves different interests, a way of transforming mass culture into a popular culture"

he sees someone he loves die, dies himself, goes back in time and is continually trying to save people that he keeps having to see die or become corrupt.

not to mention he had to carry the mental health of Mcfuckshitdepressionface9000 manjiro Sano who for the entirety of the manga was one sneeze away from killing himself, on his back, along with the fear of what was going to happen to everyone else. Not to mention Kisaki’s ass fucking him over 24/7 Like takemichi was one failed timeline away from having shell shock im surprised he didn’t grab Mikey by his shirt and yell “if u don’t go to therapy im actually gonna shoot myself” in his face and drag him there by his ankles.

they had him out there time leaping, scheming and dying like it was the navy and sometimes people said it was HIS FAULT no wonder he let Mikey stab him w that fuckass Katana his ass was ready, Takemichi was honestly hearing the trumpets for like, majority of the manga his mental state was literally hanging on by the thread of a G string and he STILL got a happy ending without killing himself once, which for a guy who can’t fight for shit is pretty steller

Yeah Takemichi definitely went through a lot mentally (as well as physically) that doesn't really get addressed too much. It's one of the reasons Takemichi is so strong though, what he doesn't have in physical strength he makes up for in mental strength.
