i quite dont understand what the hell can fushi do other than as the man in black hood said '' become the water, become everything, become complete '' . The more story continues the more it seems that to defeat knockers he has to thow away everything, including his humanity and dedicate himself fully on defeating this one species.
I just feel no happy ending to this, the story should have ended with him losing his consciousness as the tree. Now it is just becoming a true story of immortality, endless battle of two immortal species. I just dont know anymore, how can this end, on an endless cliffhanger? If we follow any logic that has been laid so far, he has no hope for a future.
and secondly, what the heck was man in blacks idea of creating him like that. I have been waiting for so long for some kind of explanation for why man in black hood even started it all. It is an extremely fucked up idea of him to just live out his life normally now only to leave fushi with no answers and knockers on the loose when they are so overpowered. (He knew more or less what to do before, but now its just woosh, idk man, i guess its time to die) Even if knockers have learned from their past failures, they still lack compassion unlike fushi. What the hell even are knockers and the man in black hood, now a kid. Even if it did not matter, its just god damn frustrating the longer this goes, whats the point of knockers in this story, just an overpowered way to say that everything in life doesnt go according to plan and that there are evil things out there where you dont see them? Sure not everything has to make sense like how Bon can see spirits. But still -
Just What The Heck ? ? ?
or maybe answers are coming soon, just my god, i feel like this is gonna be even worse train of suffering than before. The stakes are higher than ever. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ (╬￣皿￣)凸
aaaa i didn’t receive the notification for this reply and thought everyone just collectively ignored me so i’m really glad to see someone sharing my exact same thoughts! i literally was thinking about it today, since last night i went through some old chapters i hadn’t seen in years, and realized just how long knockers have been around for. and of course i became even more frustrated. i asked myself, is there some deep hidden metaphorical meaning behind them? cause i really don’t get it? besides the fact that their existence still don’t make sense to me, now we’re just reading the same thing over and over again (breaks my heart to say it, i’m SO emotionally attached to this manga), but really, keeping on seeing him do that pained expression over and over again cause he’s just too good to even kill this apathetic monsters pains me too. i agree that it should’ve ended with him becoming a tree, cause as i’ve said in a recent comment i don’t get what this arc is adding to the previous ones (besides the fact that the modern era kind of spoiled the mood for me but that’s another thing). what’s mizuha gonna give fushi that others before her, especially kahak (whom i LOVED in comparison), haven’t tried already? i would just really want him to turn his back to everyone and think about himself for once, can they STOP trying to force him into stuff he shouldn’t be related too? (i srsly can’t stand the endless “what is love” discourses. he doesn’t care. let him be.) lastly, i don’t think the guy in black ever had any reason for him to create fushi, but i do think that given his choice to become mortal the same thing could happen to our boy as well. thought i’d be happy to say it cause he NEEDS this burden off him but uh brb crying
i honestly hope all of these attempts in trying to force fushi to understand love (kahak, hayase in general, now tonari - tho she’s not forcing him to do anything) will somehow result in him realizing he doesn’t need romantic love to feel human :/ i don’t know how after all these centuries it would be like to see him engaging in a relationship, i understand “he doesn’t understand” but may it not just be because he’s not interested in love? he’s understood friendship quite immediately, what’s the point in all this? people say tonari might be the only one (well it can’t be hayase or imma kms) but i would still find it quite weird and i don’t really think he would feel the same way (oh my god why is this giving me tokyo ghoul :re vibes ew) - i just think the way he cares deeply for everyone in the same way is so pure, and it can definitely be enough :/ we’re still talking about love, it doesn’t have to be sexual or romantic at all
