💸 Edo tensei Kakuzu💸
Stuff I liked
badass entrance + epic jump
rare grin
wondering about Hidan (also I love Hidan's face in this)
the way he revels in the fact that Ino Shika Cho will have to fight their former sensei
even as he gets sliced through he delivers a line like this
then there's this line
then he got hit during the statue's attack and made this face and if that's not a whole mood idk what is, it's so memeable, like... tfw the new bs thing they installed at your work job causes more problems than it fixes
What I would have liked to see:
some backstory stuff!!!! come on, where's little Kakuzu? and where's the history of how he was sent to kill Hashirama and punished for failing to do so?? (thank you all writers who explore this part of his life, you're doing Lord Jashin's work)
some mean nasty commenting on Choji's reluctance to hit Asuma, some vicious projecting like kids are so soft these days and look at that useless piece of shit who trained them too
and when he sees how Asuma's encouraging them he's like, why's he telling the kids what to do, if they can't kill their former teacher, let them die ffs, that's not how things were done in the bad old days, he never would have gotten so powerful if he had been coddled like this??
you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me 🎵
I mean?? let Kakuzu be bitter, and salty, and full of trauma-fueled assholery, like a rejected cinnamon roll left to rot
I love him so much 😭😭😭😍😍😍
something something he got defeated by a bunch of kids. again.
and what would his village elders say, of course Hashirama wiped the floor with you, you can't even defeat these literal babies
not that it actually made sense that he got defeated by them last time anyway, he was much more powerful, he did not deserve that. there are lots of good posts on this, I highly recommend going into his tag! but I digress
we don't even see his soul depart after edo tensei ends!!!! we do in the anime but not in the manga (hmu with screenshots if I just missed it, I would love to see), and that's not fair at all to his character, but who am I kidding, don't we already know that Kakuzu can't have nice things??
and I wanted some last words or thoughts, they don't even have to be about Hidan
just kidding they absolutely have to be about Hidan
about how he should hurry up and croak already so they can reincarnate together cause their partnership was the only thing worthwhile on this bitch of an earth
yeah. I lov them both
