i do have a headcanon that osamu's tendency to Say follow the law and be a good and polite citizen is largely informed by his father quickly realising if he didn't try to install morals in this guy, osamu would become a menace to society.
Osamu is a painfully realistic character, which has been obvious throughout the manga, but one of my favorite instances of this is all the way back in volume one when the Marmods attacked his school.
This moment was Osamuâs first brush with deathâsure, before this he did briefly face off against a Bamster, but that was taken care of by Yuma almost immediately. Osamu hadnât faced any personal danger in his life until this moment. Even during the first large scale invasion that rattled so many, Osamu lived someplace else and was a bystander rather than participant/victim. And because of all this, he didnât ACTUALLY think he was going to die or fully reckon with the fact that it was a very real possibility when going to fight the Marmod.
From the start, Yuma knew clearly what kind of danger Osamu would face and told him so bluntly.
But Osamu didnât give any actual attention to his warnings until Yuma repeated it much more seriously.
Osamuâs first reaction was to ignore Yumaâs words because he wanted to protect the other students. His selflessness and tendency to put others before himself showed in full force here, but either way the desperation of the situation left him antsy and he only paused when Yumaâs tone shifted. Itâs not just his good nature and adrenaline influencing him, but his death just isnât something heâs seriously considered. Not in a heâs a fool and never even thought it a possibility kind of way, Osamu is a smart character and right after this he did logically think that Yuma was probably right.
However, thinking and logically knowing that something is a possibility and technically could happen doesnât mean you actually comprehend the fact that it can and will happen. People often have a hard time fully realizing that bad things WILL happen to them, like back in Covid when a lot of people didnât think that theyâd actually end up sick or those who say, leave their doors unlocked all the time because they donât think theyâd get robbed.
The âI know this thing happens to other people but it probably wonât meâ feeling is pretty common, especially in younger people, and itâs not really naivety per se, it can just be difficult to fully realize even though you know it logically when you or someone your close with donât have personal experience with it or similar things.
(Naturally this doesnât apply to everyone)
I donât know if this sort of bias has a name, but I think itâs shown well throughout Osamuâs fight.
At first, though he doesnât think heâll win, he still has the overconfidence his youth and lack of experience grants him. Heâs fully thinking that heâll protect everyone until other border agents arrive, intending to fight until they do. He believes that itâs something he can do, without the caution Yumaâs warning shouldâve given him. If it was later Osamu, heâd probably try to use the environment to his advantage to stall until Arashiyama squad gets there, avoiding direct combat?
Anyways, heâs overconfident and isnât really thinking about the possibility of him dying.
Pretty much immediately, heâs shown heâs outmatched.
Even after this, Osamu acts recklessly while overestimating his ability. He charges forward(in the anime, looks like heâs doing the same here but itâs harder to tell)aiming for direct combat. Still not really thinking about the consequences.
And look what happens. Aside from the slight horror of having an arm cut off and the effects that could have on trigger users mentally, his expression here really shows a lot.
Osamu is genuinely shocked. He freezes. Heâs looking at his arm flying off and for a moment just doesnât believe it. And then it clicks into place, and Yumaâs words echo in his mind. I think this moment is when Osamu realizes without a doubt or any bias that he will die. Or at least that the possibility is real and becoming realer by the second.
And here he knows. Itâs not like before where he thought that Yuma was probably right but still didnât completely comprehend it. He had to face the reality that he was about to die because he was overconfident.
His lack of experience with combat and dangerous situations in general was prominent in this fight, and itâs pretty crazy to see how heâs grown.
I 100% do not believe that without the overconfidence or sense of unrealism about death and danger he wouldnât of rushed in, heâd absolutely go help those students either way. Thatâs just his personality. Itâs just these aspects of him that make him so real, and he learned from this experience as well.
During the afto invasion arc, he similarly put himself in harms way. But he didnât freeze or get extremely shocked, he wasnât overconfident, he was just doing what he felt he should with an actual plan in mind and knowledge of the dangerđââïž still reckless tho
Basically, while nearly dying, this experience was good for him. Had it been later, itâd probably be too late to save him. I wonder if thatâs why Yuma came in at the perfect time? He mightâve been waiting and watching so Osamu could learn. He wouldnât let him die ofc but direct experience is necessary, especially with how Osamu charged in without much considerationâaccurate consideration anyways.
