To be Senya is to undergo, I feel we have established that at this level. However Mizukami Satoshi is something however a masochist, that is the purpose. Not a nihilist both. If struggling had no that means, nothing he writes would make any sense. I am inclined to imagine that Mizukami loves his characters as a result of I am inclined to imagine that he loves the human race. And that is particularly regardless of all our flaws, that are invariably on the coronary heart of the issues in all of his collection. There aren’t any shortcuts or simple solutions with him, however the search is at all times price it.
There are such a lot of fronts on this battle, and with so many shifting elements, it is considerably miraculous that all the pieces runs so easily. Banshouou was by no means the principle occasion right here, the large unhealthy, however his very presence makes him the middle of the battle. All that is leisure for him – he does not care who wins or loses. To this finish, he splits himself up (precisely what Inga steered was the easiest way to defeat him) to tackle the Katawara military and provides Mudou and Senya a greater likelihood. Boastful? Certain, however the proof reveals he is not incorrect.
However quickly Senya has larger fish to fry. Yazen sends Nau and Tsukiko to choose him up, because it appears Douren and Jinun are close to the top of their journey. This actually is not a nasty solution to exit for them, however for Senya it is one other heartbreaking loss to cope with. Since he solely bought them again on this life, he has to present them up once more. Yazen says he can transplant the tiger (Shirokuma Hiroshi) inside Douren (Jaki – I feel that is the primary time we hear the title) and the dragon (Takashi Matsuyama) inside Jinun (Nadare in fact) to Senya. However that is not the identical as having his (admittedly crappy) father and (glorious) surrogate father in his life.
It is one other burden for Senya to bear, but when anybody needs to be used to it, it is him. Whereas Shinsuke tirelessly leads the Katawara of their resistance, Senya – with new powers – is free to return to the entrance. However that is not Banshouou; it’s the Tribe of the Void that’s on the root of all of it. After all, Banshouou does not need anybody robust sufficient to curiosity him to struggle another person, however even he cannot cease this new Senya. Senya leaves Mudou to cope with the cloud and continues upward to face his tormentors as soon as and for all.
Senya is drawn to the spirit world – and his chibi type – as soon as once more, however it’s not the tribe that awaits him there. In a distant teahouse, a good-looking younger samurai with a well-known voice (that of Saitou Souma) waits. That is Takeru – Yamato Takeru to be exact. We have heard about him, in fact: he is Jinka’s beforehand unseen older twin brother. However by way of character, the 2 might hardly be extra completely different. Takeru presents Senya a bowl of tea, then says it is poisoned, then says it is not. He then tries to promote Senya on the concept of saving the Tribe of the Void. He must give his personal life, however to avoid wasting a whole nation that’s actually a small value to pay.
Takeru’s motives are opaque, to say the least. It looks like he speaks for the tribe, however typically he additionally appears to be attempting to show the younger man in entrance of him learn how to stand as much as it. It additionally quickly turns into clear that Takeru has been locked away within the spirit world by the tribe. The dialogue between them goes to the center of it You are actually thematic. Senya is younger and has led a troubled life, however his experiences have developed in him a powerful moral sense. He is aware of that what Takeru is saying goes towards all the pieces he believes in – and all the pieces Shinsuke has tried to show him. Life is valuable (together with his), and the Bushido code that fetishizes wonderful loss of life is deceptive.
Senya – with the assistance of Takeru, though it’s unclear whether or not this was intentional – quickly sees via the blunder with which the chief of the tribe assaults him. In truth, even his two subordinates appear to lose endurance with him. Yamato Takeru is actually the brand new wildcard right here – he appears inclined to attempt to seize management of his personal future. And ultimately one can see how all of the disparate threads on this epic but private story might lastly be linked.
