With the final episodes of mha coming I keep thinking about how the manga ends and I forgot how genuinely depressed it makes me, honestly its super impressive that horikoshi made a series about hope and making a better tomorrow ends in a way that has made me feel nothing but despair.
The fact that Im having a pretty bad eczema flair up rn and one of the only shirts I have that isnt irritating it further is one of my shigaraki shirts
One of my fav things about reading unfinished fanfics that were uploaded years ago is getting to the last chapter and seeing an authors note that's like "omg guys sorry I might not upload for a while cause I have stuff going on but I'll definitely get the next chapter out as soon as I can!" And its been 8 years since the fic was last updated
Im so in love with the Devilman series so Ive been reading/watching like every version they've made but literally nothing could get me to read grimoire.
What do you mean they REMOVED RYO???? Actually completely removing him would have been a mercy but instead they stole his design, stripped him of everything that made him such an interesting character and turned him into some straight fuck boy.
The whole point of the original series is that there are no winners in war, Satan kills all of humanity and yet hes not even happy with his victory because it meant losing Akira. He literally just sits by Akira's corpse waiting for the angels to come and presumably kill him because he's so devastated by the loss of his best friend and the person he loved.
If that character didn't look like Ryo I dont think I would have minded him at all but from what Ive heard he shares literally NOTHING in common with Ryo so why tf would they use his design?? He's apparently not even still Satan and the main antagonist anymore either! They hijacked Ryo's design just so they could erase literally every aspect of him being queer.
I cant believe I got into this series because of how much I loved Crybaby and saw so many people shitting on it like it sucked when GRIMOIRE exist.
Its been roughly two years since Trigun Stampede ended and I think I figured out the whole "Nai" vs "Kni" spelling thing;
Throughout all 12 eps his name is spelled "Nai" in the subtitles but "Kni" in the computer system and I don't think either spelling is a mistake.
TRIMAX SPOILERS!!
The main thing that confused me about the name thing was that the data entries existed AT ALL, Rem made it very clear that she wanted to hide the fact that Vash and Knives were plants so why on earth would she input them in the system LABELED as plants??
Because she didn't.
If Rem didn't make those data entries then who did? It sure would be really convenient if there was another person that we know ended up waking up and meeting the twins while they were still on the ships huh?
Oh WAIT!
While we haven't gotten the scene of Conrad meeting the twins in Stampede we know for a FACT he did because when Knives finds him after the fall he calls him by NAME and acts relieved to see him even going so far as to run to him like he was going to give Knives a hug;
I think Conrad was the one to input the twins into the Project Type-T data base and that Rem never even knew he did this.
'but why would Conrad do that?'
Because Conrad wanted to study them and never actually saw them as more then new test subjects.
The thing is that I don't think Conrad actually feels remorse for what he did to Tesla. He doesn't regret killing her because she was a child who was sentient and felt pain-
He regrets killing his most valuable science project.
Right now we only have one photo of Tesla when she was still alive and she was clearly around the same age of the twins when she finally died from the abuse she suffered.
Tesla looks so empty while Conrad looks content, happy and proud.
Conrad never felt an ounce of doubt about what he was doing to Tesla when she was alive, it was only after the abuse was too much and her body failed did he suddenly start feeling regret.
He killed his test subject before he was done with it and that's what he really regretted.
So when he met the twins he realized he had two more chances to get to study an independent and made their data entries;
The reason why it's spelled "Kni" is because Conrad was trying to spell a name he'd only ever heard, he couldn't just ask Rem how to spell it so he based the spelling on what he thought Rem named him after; his KNIVES. Conrad thought it was supposed to be a shortened version of knives and thus wrote is as Kni.
But it ISN'T.
His name actually IS spelled Nai.
If you look up the name Kni pretty much nothing comes up, Nai however-
The first culture I found Nai attached to was African; In Swahili it means 'purpose' or 'aim' while in Nigerian Igbo it means 'mother' or 'motherhood' which fits Knives perfectly.
But I wanted to check to see if Nai had a Japanese meaning and the closest I found was Chinese origins that's commonly used for girls with Japanese roots;
The name Nai is made up of two elements, Na and I. Na has multiple meanings such as green, vegetables, many, and APPLE TREE-
NAI BASICALLY MEANS APPLE TREE
HIS NAME MEANS APPLE TREE
Honestly I would have been content considering this a crack theory based on a spelling error but knowing that Nai is a name that actually has a meaning that can be considered FORESHADOWING???
There's literally no way this was an accident.
I also think the person who did the subtitles was told how to write their names because I can't find Elendira being a previously existing name outside of Trigun and I'd assume they'd need to be told how to spell the names but I can't find proof of that so-
If you got this far thank you so much for reading because I figured this out like a couple of months ago and have been freaking out over it ever since.
