#Aah I have so many thoughts concerning this episode
#First of all: that I can think of Lucy really is the character that grew the most on me.
#I remember I really didn't feel strongly for her the first time I watched and through the first year or so‚
#even after finishing reading the manga‚ but now I really like her a lot and feel strong sympathy for her!!
#Second. I remember the first time watching I found Fitzgerald's portrayal really distatsteful...
#Like I get there's a whole deal of the usa's economic power having destroyed literal countries.
#And Japanese people are rightfully enraged at them.
#And I get there's a whole deal of cultural colonization made by the usa of half the world
#That said. I don't like countries stereotypes in general no matter the country. I believe it's harmful to enable stereotypes full stop.
#Moreso in bsd where a lot of it feels to me like “Our country is the best and all other countries are bad / evil / lesser”
#(Again like. There IS an issue with how every single foreign character is a villain if you ask me)
#(And this is coming from someone who's not from the usa nor feels particular kinship with it.
#Just to clarify that I shouldn't be holding preceding bias. Again I just dislike stereotypes in general‚ the country doesn't matter)
#Third I LOVE Lucy's va they're sooooo good!!!! I adore them in p/p voicing Akane–
#and it's extraordinary to see them voice a villain in this episode. I love them so so much they're so good at what they do
#Fourth I remember the first time watching the episode it was immensely amusing how between Akutagawa and Lucy‚
#it really felt like everyone was trying to make a competition with Atsushi on who had the most miserable orphan life. Like guys‚ wtf 😂😂
#Fifth another thing that bugged me MASSIVELY was Lucy's reaction to Mori like… What even is that………
#Idk it's probably not a big deal and it's probably just an issue with me but.
#It's just that in the context of bsd already being plenty sexist everywhere you look.
#You have a female character who's evidently got the upper hand‚ in her own reign‚ with a super powerful ability–
#facing a defenseless male character. And yet the male character is implied to win due to the power of his……… Frightening stare.
#Like you DO get why it irks me right. One thing would have been if that was an ability he had‚
#but also the way it only seems to effect Lucy… To me it really adds to a rhetoric of women being more frail / easily scared–
#because it's not like Mori was ever able to use his special move: scary look™ on anyone else
#So y'know :///
#That's it. Atsushi and Kyouka were super cute <333
