Yesterday I saw someone say: "Oreshi is just a nerfed version of Akashi Seijuro because he lost right after switching to Oreshi." If not like that they will say that there were "evil" and "good" Akashi then say that this version is better than that one. I swear I'm kinda annoyed by those kinds of people
They’re talking as if they completely ignore everything Akashi Seijuro went through. I mean, 'Oreshi' is strong, insanely strong. He is the human side of Akashi Seijuro. In everyday life, he shoulders all that heavy expectation completely alone, studying for crazy long hours when he should’ve just been a kid playing. He literally had to watch his mother, his only comfort, die forcing him to grow up way too fast until 'Bokushi' (the one 'they' calls evil) took over just to protect him. And on the court, Oreshi isn't weak at all. He was the one who was instrumental in bringing Rakuzan back to the True Zone level and almost won. But honestly, it's so annoying when SOME people reduce this anime and especially Seijuro to just power scaling. To me, he and every character is so much deeper than that. Also for those people who always mark bokushi is JUST the evil version of him, two faced, egoist, they're always hating or glazing him for it. They don't see how Bokushi protected Oreshi all this time and bokushi is a product of trauma.
