can i just say that the fake devil kai scenes in dorohedoro fucked me up so bad. like excluding the explicate gore present during those scenes its design is just. so viscerally unsettling because it pulls not only on a fear of losing your sense of self, but losing control of your own instincts and not being able to control what you become. fake devil kai is one of the best monster designs i’ve ever seen, don’t get me wrong, but the concept of a fucking. bag of stolen skin holding equally stolen corpses inside that oozes a powdered version of their essence makes ME feel like my guts were stolen.
