now I'm curious as to how the Theraprism would actually attempt to help/treat Aku, since he is, unlike most of their patients, literally made of pure evil
characters that are literally ontologically evil are fascinating to me. like, how they function psychologically. especially when we get a character like aku who's clearly much more a person than an abstract concept, and yet is Made Of Evil.
but i'm not here to write that essay, i'm here to make jokes. They probably treat him something like this.
when you're in a villain rehabilitation program in what's called the dimensional tyrant ward, it takes a lot to be one of the patients that the staff calls "a menace," but somehow i think aku and bill could manage. Nobody should teach these two how to weaponize therapyspeak.
but like—listen, I'm of the opinion that the Theraprism is incompetent and ineffective. I'm leery of the credentials of any psychiatric hospital that uses solitary confinement & sensory deprivation as a punishment. But I also think that if a crappy but well-intended hospital has hold of an immortal patient for long enough, eventually they might get something right.
I'm also of the opinion that after several thousand years, Aku is no longer 100% pure evil, but instead 90% evil/10% just some guy.
