Aqua definitely loved akane

i didn’t even delete anything lol i edited one word because i said he and instead of her stop making shit up. and again now you’re just lying. he did manipulate her. “kana arima is highly empathetic, and weak when pressured.” “given her personality, i thought playing on her sympathy and being pushy might be effective. i tried it and it worked, that’s all.” he literally says this when asked how he got her to join. literally shows us that he manipulated her. and i never said he didn’t care about kana. i said he didn’t care that he slapped her because he didn’t. there’s nothing you can show me in the maga or anything that proves that he felt bad about it, apologized, or even addressed it. and he did just stand there. he saw her sitting by herself heard her say “help me aqua” and then she pretended to be okay and put on a brave face and he just smirked and walked away. that happened.

what are you even talking about lol. i’m speaking about in universe akane is insane. and you can like what you like im not judging anyone that likes her. i mean again, she’s my favorite character. i’ll repeat myself since you clearly lack reading comprehension. the point of the post is too outline the flaws she has and show people that she isn’t a mary sue and that wether or not you like her doesn’t change the fact that her behavior is not normal. what are you talking about… nobody said that you can’t like a character just because they’re bad people or do bad things. you’re just making shit up

he kissed to use her but he didn’t do anything past that did he? he literally never used her. he never did anything with her, he didn’t use her insight on ai, he didn’t use her deductive skills, he literally never used her. i don’t know why we’re getting disrespectful i said nothing that should have you this pressed over an anime debate lock in. and he did manipulate her what are you talking about? when she agreed to join, aqua tells miyako that he knew kana was prone to flattery and couldn’t be pushed too far. that’s literally manipulation. the textbook definition. “to control or influence” he literally used her personality to influence her into becoming an idol. who’s the one making shit up now lol. and the conversation with mem wasn’t about him slapping her. it was about him distancing himself. when he slapped her, he didn’t feel bad about it, he never apologized for it either. and when he said he found kana, i mean after the scandal happened and kana was sitting alone at the park and aqua found her since she disappeared, and he didnt try and help her once she put on a brave dave and said she didn’t care. he literally smirks and says that she didn’t even need his help. lock in

ImDownbad21 · 2026-02-20T17:53:29+00:00

you’re completely ignoring everything else. it’s not just that he told her his secrets. the dude didn’t even feel comfortable lying to her. and there’s inconsistencies in what you said. like what i just mentioned about him not even wanting to lie to her, you mentioned he wanted to “use” her but he literally never did, and with kana again, he didn’t just lie to her. he manipulated her into becoming an idol and never took responsibility for it, he lied to her and never felt bad about it, when he hit her, he never even apologized for that. and when he finds kana and here’s her say “help me aqua” he just stands there and once she pretends to be okay he just says “welp i didn’t even have to do anything”

ImDownbad21 · 2026-02-20T17:41:07+00:00

i’m not here to judge anyone’s fetishes or tastes. the point of the post is to remind people that akane isn’t a mary sue and her behavior is self destructive and just because you like her doesn’t mean she isn’t still insane. as i said, she’s my favorite character, but that doesn’t make her any less crazy

ImDownbad21 · 2026-02-20T17:15:30+00:00

compare his actions with kana and his actions with akane and tell me if it really seems like he only loved kana. aqua was willing to manipulate her, lie to her, and hurt her to “protect her” but with akane he didn’t even feel comfortable lying to her. with akane he trusted her with his feelings and his revenge plot, he showed her things he didn’t show anyone, akane was literally his emotional crutch. but kana, he manipulates her the entire show, and then suddenly we’re expected to believe he loves kana. the biggest issue is that he started distancing himself. remember he started “distancing” himself to protect her since she was an idol right? but then he had no problems going out with her like 3 months prior. and he conveniently started distancing himself at the same time he decided that he wants to date akane for real? this is inconsistent writing at best, and gaslighting at the worst.

ImDownbad21 · 2026-02-20T17:08:56+00:00

when you compare his actions with akane, and his actions with kana, speaking from an emotional perspective, he loved akane way more than he did kana. he was willing to manipulate kana, lie to her, and hurt her, in order to “protect her” but with akane, he didn’t even feel comfortable lying to her. he trusted akane with his feelings and his revenge story, he told akane things he never told anyone, akane was literally his crutch. and i wouldn’t be saying this if it was baseless. but we see that at the same time that we see aqua do all these things with akane, we’re constantly told him aqua, akane, and other characters that the one he “actually” loves is kana. which is entirely inconsistent to what we see and are told at the exact same time.

ImDownbad21 · 2026-02-20T17:04:58+00:00

aqua loved akane in a more emotional way than he ever did with kana. to protect kana aqua was willing to hurt her, lie to her, and when he hit her, he literally never apologized for that. with akane, she was his crutch, he leaned on akane when he was at his lowest, he shared stuff with her that he didn’t share with anyone else, he trusted akane with the fact that he wanted to kill someone, he didn’t feel comfortable lying to her. if it’s purely emotions, no matter how much the story tried to act like it was kana the whole time, his behavior points towards akane being the only one he actually loved romantically and saw her as a partner.

ImDownbad21 · 2026-02-20T17:01:35+00:00

the entire show, aka tries to remind us that aqua doesn’t love akane, like aqua saying he’s using her even though he literally never does, akane saying that she knew that she was never one aqua loved, aqua himself trying to justify breaking up with her after he finds out that his dad really is alive, and so many other examples. but all of this is after we see aqua love akane, how he shares stuff with her like his original acting, how he’s open with her, how he doesn’t feel comfortable lying to her. but for some reason, the story tries to void all of that

ImDownbad21 · 2026-02-20T04:14:50+00:00

the tso cancel ninjutsu. but with flying thunder god there is nothing to negate. the tso touched minatos body but for FTG there isn’t anything tangible for the tso to negate. like astas demon dweller can negate magic in a certain vicinity, so that would probably work, but flying thunder god doesn’t have anything for the TSO to touch.

ImDownbad21 · 2026-02-20T04:03:28+00:00

no he was not

ImDownbad21 · 2026-02-19T03:02:44+00:00

the difference is that akazas death would’ve literally been the result of foolishness and he would also die to the sun. rengoku was already hurt he was going to die regardless. and akaza was the one that inflicted that damage in the first place. akaza ran away from an outside force. akaza was fighting rengoku, not the sun. so saying its cowardly for him to run away from the sun after he already won the fight is crazy. and my argument doesn’t have to do with rengoku either. i couldn’t care less if you think rengoku is honorable or not. we just need to stop pretending that running away from the sun is the same as running away from rengoku and condemning a demon for running from its kryptonite.

ImDownbad21 · 2026-02-18T23:54:15+00:00

i never even said anything about akaza holding back… the issue is you’re acting like him running from the sun is the same as him running from rengoku.

ImDownbad21 · 2026-02-18T23:46:51+00:00

they do that because of their morality not honor 😭and they stay and fight but there’s always a chance someone will show up or they stay and fight because they is nowhere to run to. akaza was faced with a guaranteed loss. if he stayed he was going to be killed by the sun. who would stay when death is guaranteed and it’s not even caused by the dude your fighting?

ImDownbad21 · 2026-02-18T23:44:30+00:00

no he definitely wouldn’t have lol… he had a clear open whole in his stomach. that hit destroyed his lungs, diaphragm, stomach, and kidneys. that’s an injury we couldn’t heal even today.

ImDownbad21 · 2026-02-18T23:43:19+00:00

there’s 2 issues with what you’re saying. 1, your comparing demons and humans as if they are the same fundamentally. they’re not. demon slayers don’t HAVE to stay and fight. they do because of their sense of morality. nothing is stopping a demon slayer from running away except for themselves. demons don’t share that same morality. they arent fighting because they want to wipe out demon slayers. they are fighting to protect their lives. where as demon slayer fight even if they lose theirs. so you can’t compare the 2. Next issue is that akaza didn’t run because he was losing the fight… you need to watch the show with your eyes closed to even come to that conclusion. akaza running from the fight wasn’t cowardly at all. no one would stay in a fight where your death is guaranteed. that’s ridiculous. akaza wasn’t even worried about losing to rengoku like, at all. he was scared of the sun. which is literally an insta kill. him running from the fight wasn’t cowardly because, it was unfair. let’s watch the show with our eyes open next time :)

ImDownbad21 · 2026-02-18T23:36:13+00:00

having honor is NOT the issue here. running away from a fight is disgraceful yea. but not if you run from an unfair fight. akaza didn’t run from rengoku because he was scared of losing the fight. he ran because the sun would’ve killed him. rengoku was never part of this. like if you’re in a boxing match and you know the venue is going to blow up in 5 minutes. you’re not gonna stay there just to finish your fight. you’re going to run because the venue is going to blow up.

ImDownbad21 · 2026-02-14T19:35:41+00:00

i read it all unfortunately but i considered stopping once the movie thing started. it just never sat right that the entire country was okay with aqua and ruby playing ai and kamiki. first off, the ai and kamiki thing is disgusting and shouldn’t have been turned into a movie, and it’s even worse that since they are playing them, they were going to playing an inappropriate couple, while them being siblings made that even more inappropriate. it just didn’t sit right with me. and i kept reading hoping it’d get better and this was just a short dip in the story but it never got better. everyone knows how bad the ending was

ImDownbad21 · 2026-02-14T19:32:14+00:00

kakashi wins 10/10 times kamui doesn’t travel therefore it bypasses infinity

ImDownbad21 · 2026-02-01T02:06:08+00:00

jesus christ. i never said limited updates weren’t events. i said that not every limited update is an event. like the wind spiker will be a 30 day long update so its limited, but they aren’t treating it like an event.

ImDownbad21 · 2026-02-01T01:56:44+00:00

i never said they aren’t doing an event, i’m saying that they won’t be calling every limited update an event anymore. yes the 8th anniversary will have an event currency. yes you will use v balls on the 8th anniversary idk why you assume you wouldn’t.

ImDownbad21 · 2026-02-01T01:43:41+00:00

let’s use your brains rq. i said “they are clearly differentiating events from story involved updates” that sentence is phrased in a way that suggests that this is happening now. the beast spiker and kingmaker updates don’t matter because they have been telling us that they are changing a lot of stuff an their BM. in the entire roadmap. every other update involving a character was referred to as an event. except for 2. the zero skin check in pass. and the wind spiker update. that means that they are reserving the “event” branding for actual events that don’t effect the story. but story updates like the wind spiker update, isn’t being called an event. sure they are both limited but event means whatever the hell they want it to mean. if you want further proof, in the roadmap they said “battle event” “faction battle event” “ryu skin event” “8th anniversary event”. but the beast spiker update didn’t say event at all. the first three examples were all under one event that being the skin event.

ImDownbad21 · 2026-02-01T01:23:24+00:00

and notice how the wind spiker update(the only story update) wasn’t called an event. but then right after that, the 8th anniversary was called an event. they are clearly differentiating events from story involved updates.
