#fit to take hijikata down. solely because he was the only swordsman on the enemy team and playing w swords is hijikata's thing

[piduai]

i dont genuinely dislike the gk endings bc i know they could be a thousand times worse, its just disappointing bc they were kinda mid. anti climactic for an absolute banger of a series

but i love being a hater. top three most unsatisfying character endings? for me its tsurumi (shouldve died) tsukishima (shouldve died) and hijikata (shouldve been killed by literally anyone else)

yeah exactly that. i can't complain too much because everything could have been sooooo much worse (#rakugotrauma) but the ending just lacked impact... the it element that the rest of the manga had in abundance 😪 which is like not the end of the world but was a 減点 thing kinda sorta. as i said since it set the precedent of going over the line so many times the fact that it didn't in the end was just meh whatever. noda said that he just wanted it to be one of those works that is beloved because it has a happy ending but imo [10 paragraphs of incredibly off the wall things nobody in their right mind cares about]

as for whose endings sucked the most... tsurumi takes the first spot of course, as in anything else. he should have died. there is no value in him surviving, it only cheapens the drama towards the end, there is no sense of fulfillment in this particular villain surviving... i disagree with noda's choices here and there, and this one was the most awful still. in my opiniòn. sugimoto should have died too i think. solely for reread value... like you reread the thing and he's saying "i'm immortal!" so many times, and you get sooooo sad but in a good, loving way... oh reckless hero, you weren't immortal, after all........ as it is you're just oh so he wasn't lying huh 😐... um ok.... anyway. and inkarmat becoming breeding stock idgaf. the only(!) surviving woman besides the mc is there shitting at least one kid per year for the next 15 years. awesome. like that's literal unadulterated domestic abuse - to keep your wife constantly pregnant for over a decade, there's a reason women don't do that anymore and live with a 50% elevated cervical cancer risk taking OC for years. "maybe she wanted it and was happy!" shut the fuck up you know nothing

#tsukishima didn't make the list solely bc idgaf about him and his fate. but he was the worst like objectively speaking #i know that if i were a tsukigirl i would have washed my hands off this manga and never touch it again lmfao but that's just me #strongly disagree about hijikata tho... i think the opposite is true. koito's overall story & development SUCKED but he was the only one #fit to take hijikata down. solely because he was the only swordsman on the enemy team and playing w swords is hijikata's thing #the alternative would have been what shot by tsurumi or tsukishima? nah where's the character quirk in that #tho i do agree that the fight was super anticlimactic #like... ow this old man is kicking my ass this is so sad... but wait! i can just level up on the spot because i want to. #for my friends :) whose names i don't even know. i am so strong suddenly. awesome. now die you old shriveled piece of cod #those chapters were so bad 👍legit the worst in the entire manga #anon
