Chapter 429 - I Am Here

man, tianshan have really gone so far, huh. the old guan shan wouldn't have let he tian corral him around the whole night. drunk or not he would fight to be conscious and would be half way to sober now out of sheer anger and annoyance at he tian. he wouldn't sleep in the closet on top of those new towels and he'd put up such a fight before letting he tian pick him up.

this new guan shan lets he tian wrap him in a towel, sleeps on top of fresh new towels because he's now comfortable enough to impose on he tian. he lets him pick him up and his only protest is of being waken up, clutches at he tian's robe instead of pushing him away, sleeps in his arms knowing he tian won't drop him.

and when he tian slips and he cheng catches guan shan's foot leading to the most humiliating shit to ever happen in his life so far, (whereas the old guan shan would've never let any of that shit happen in the first place and would be pushing, shouting, and cursing at he tian), all guan shan does now is cover his face and cringe in embarrassment as he continues to lay in he tian's arms because what else is there to do? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(also, he cheng is still clutching his foot. so.)

Hori is really speed-running this thing lol but I... dunno.. the conclusions so far are, for me, satisfying... in a way that they give me hope for better days for these children y'know. It's giving open-ended vibe but not so wild.. common sense will let one feel that what happens next will be positive.

Hori's story is simple, really. And his messages are simple, too. Everyone can be a hero. Humans should look out for each other. If you damage people for your selfish motives bad karma will get you. And I think he'd drilled those messages well in this epilogue.

Also love the callback to Hawks wanting heroes to have more spare time. Because it means peace. It means people finally learned to reach out to each other to help.

Welp, it might render the heroes jobless but no haha. Izuku, for instance, could very well be a quirk therapist for children. You love to see it

Now I want a slice-of-life sequeelllllllllll

Next week's the last chapter. I'm so excited.

hello! not to be rude or anything, but I don't really get why everyone loves Sanji so much 🤔 it seems like Oda really used to love making him the butt of every misfortune. like getting the stupid hat in the groggy ring sort of thing or his bounty being low/wanted poster being dumb or the thing with Duval or even where he got sent for the timeskip. does it bother you? Sanji always getting the short end of the stick? just curious.

He has his moments.

Official translations are out and man. I'm trying my best to not cry at work because of Ochako. That palpable grief right there, that bawling? That's exactly how I reacted when Himiko took a bow. Ochako and I also had the same realization—Himiko could've saved thousands of lives with her quirk! What pain. It's like I'm dealing with a fresh wound all over again, Hori. How could you be so merciless aaaagghh T_T

It's tragic. But on the brighter side of things, I can't fault Ochako if she'd continue smiling. She will live on because of Himiko's blood, and I'd bet Himiko wouldn't be happy if Ochako won't thrive because she's grieving. The young hero will, literally, carry Himiko with her until death. It's tragic but it's also poetic.

There's a part of me that wishes Himiko had chosen to live and atone for her crimes (because as much as she is a victim, she also killed people), so that after, she'll be reintegrated into society and be loved and cared for by people like Ochako. But there's also a small part of me that agrees with her decision to, you know, drain her blood to death for Ochako because she'd rather die than get caught, because when I was her age, I felt similarly... that I'd rather disappear than give up my freedom and risk being scoffed at by people because of my sins. That I'd rather give something good to this one person that I love and then peace out. I'm not saying it's the right thing to do, but I can understand her. It's a dangerous thing to consider, though. Get therapy if you feel like sacrificing your life is the best way out or the best way to heal. No life is worth losing, even when we spent so much time fumbling it.
