ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย Surrounded, but still alone.
Yeah, can I get uuuuuuh... previously innocuous moments in a story suddenly becoming a lot more meaningful after a line of dialogue or revelation completely recontextualizes them for the audience.
When you go back after His Highness says that, you really start to notice there actually are a lot of instances, both subtle and overt, of Izayoi constantly coddling the [No Name]โs like children that need to be take care of. Even when heโs acting at his most callous, and says something isnโt his problem, heโs always lingering nearby just in case just to make sure nothing gets out of hand for them.ย
(โฆ Izayoi-san really doesnโt show his real self.) When Izayoi was summoned to Little Garden. When the reconstruction of the Community hung in the balance and the news was broken to him. When she was cornered in her fight against a Demon Lord. He would always be standing at the frontline of the battle, think more than anyone else about the solutions and see further than anyone else about future possibilities. There was no need for her to know of his hidden past. Kuro Usagi, who had fought by Izayoiโs side, could already see his beliefs and values. โJustice stands with me. โ He sincerely believed that, he lived with pride and was not ashamed of it. He did not dismiss the justice of the world, yet he moved forward with his own.
I LOVE THAT AS AN OBJECTIVE PERSON HIGHNESS CAN SEE IZAYOIโS BLATANT INABILITY TO TRUST IN OTHERS AS WHAT IT IS BUT HIS FRIENDS ARE COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS AND JUST SEE HIS WILLINGNESS TO HANDLE EVERYTHING ON HIS OWN AS JUST SOMETHING NOBLE AND THAT MAKES THEM ALL FEEL SAFE AND WILLING TO OVERLOOK HOW HE DOESNT OPEN UP TO THEM UNAWARE THAT MENTALITY IS EXACTLY WHAT CAUSES IZAYOIโS COMPLETE EMOTIONAL ISOLATION
(What a surprise, I didnโt expect him to have such a weakness.)
Each time that they crossed fists, His Highness felt a growing understanding about the character of Izayoi. Grasping the development and experiences that led up to this character did not take much time. Sakamaki Izayoi, this manโhad most likely overcome every single problem with his own strength alone. As long as it is within the realms of his power, he would be sure to protect all the things he can and eradicate every enemy with all his might. But it is precisely because of that that Sakamaki Izayoi is anxious about this situation that he had no control over.
Reason being that he overtly coddles the people around him.
(To sugarcoat it, it would simply be the treasuring of ones allies, but this guy isnโt like that. The anxiety that he feels isnโt just out of his concern over his allies. This guy, Sakamaki Izayoiโ)
โDoesnโt trust his friends.
No matter the amount of euphemisms that can be used to describe his character in a better light, the basic nature of this guy is one that is unable to trust in others.
(This weaknessโฆโฆis something that can be manipulated.)
Izayoiโs entire arc with Azi Dahaka is just a ruthless teardown of his invincible, cocky hero faรงade : from him being too late to stop Black Rabbit from being hurt, his losing his temper and destroying so many surrounding homes, accidentally awakening Azi Dahaka in the process, getting fatally wounded for the first time in his life, being unable to significantly damage Azi Dahaka even with everything he throws at him, the sheer terror and helpless he felt when Azi Dahaka was going to unleash his dragon army on his friends and being unable to save them, let alone himself, and narrowly escaping with his life but being bedridden for quite sometime. Only to culminate in the moment that after understanding the Demon Lord and killing him, he basically won through a loophole that assured he was never in any real danger, unintentionally cheating Azi out of being defeated by a true hero who gambled everything with their life on the line, and being celebrated as a hero compared to people who actually gave their lives leading to his breakdown from the pure shame and guilt while everyone around him is cheering happily.
โAzi Dakahaโ The pure god of evil. What is your purpose?โ {โโฆโฆโฆ..โ} โDonโt play coy with me, you shitty dragonโฆ! If you say the word โamusementโ, then you have clear desires or goals! Then what are they!? Like other demon lords, some selfish, egotistical reason - you have one! Am I wrong!?โ Under the circumstances where there would be no wonder if he was killed at any moment, Izayoi used all his strength and asked this of the Demon Lord. This was the final condemnation of a man who had lived as he pleased. โIfโฆโฆ.If your goal was to simply destroy, then fine. If we compared our desires, tried to kill each other over our ideals, and I lost, that would at least be acceptable. But youโre different! Even when you fought this hard, and you destroyed so much, you still arenโt satisfied! You probably wonโt be satisfied if you kill me either! Then where is your motive, your desireโฆ..
โWhere is your Justice?!โ Ignoring the blood that poured out of his body, Izayoi yelled fervently. If he didnโt, he felt like he wouldnโt be able to die in peace. โThis is Sakamaki Izayoiโsโฆโฆ.last inquiry in his life. Answer me, demon lord Azi Dakaha. โ {โSo you ask where lies my Justiceโฆโฆโฆ.eh? You are indeed a human that amuses me to no endโ} laughed Azi Dakaha. To answer the inquiry, it gathered its energy into its fist. The three heads and six eyes each looked in different directions, and embraced the sky. Its crimson eyes reflected beyond the nebular cloud, and held an air of serenity. While its figure was no doubt a monster, in this moment, he looked incredibly solemn. โThis body has crushed everything its eyes beheld ever since its birth. Life, cities, cultures. Societies, achievements, order, crime, public evil, proud justice and hideous depravities. Like a storm, like a tsunami, like a rain of thunder, this body has bared its fangs against everything in existence equally. But Iโฆโฆ.am not a โnatural disasterโ. I am a being that wields the destruction that only a natural disaster should be able to wield, with a single will, and destroys anything by his impulses. That can no longer be called a natural disaster. Inevitably my being, the single word of evil I carry, is the final destination for all heroes to crossโฆโฆ!โ ย Azi Dakahaโs eyes shone clearly. The red flag that had โevilโ etched into fluttered harshly. Carrying the unparalleled word on its back, the demon lord opened its six eyes on three heads and declared,
โRise, HEROโฆ Over my dead body - THAT is where your โJUSTICEโ lies!!!!โ
imagine being the Master in Izayoiโs fate-verse, pulling a Saver-class Servant who are supposed to be figures of salvation, literal messiahs, only to get this hedonistic fuckboy.
>opponent feeling spiteful decides to fuck everything and fires off a laser capable of turning the entire planet and itโs inhabitants into stone >JUST FUCKING KICK THE LASER AND BREAK IT
>tfw really bored and just want a good fight but thereโs really no one anyone on the planet or off it near your level

โItโs more the opposite, actually.โ
โ Why? Donโt tell me youโre one of those dudes who thinks heโs too old to be having fun or something. โ Heโs still trying to get his brother out of that damned phase before he squanders away his precious teenage years.
onlyhornโ:
Oh, now heโs asking for it! Heโs REALLY asking for it now!
โโ-
Sheโs going to drive her other hand to his face and just try to jam two fingers up his dumb idiot nose while heโs laughing.
Aaaaannd she throws him a curveball.ย With his head thrown back and eyes screwed tight in laughter, Izayoi canโt see the incoming two fingers(shooting much faster than he had anticipated),let alone stop them, as they fly right past his still-outstretched arm, delivering a truly savage strike right up his nostrils, and sending making the boy fall back flat on his ass with an uncharacteristically pitiful yelp.ย
After writhing around clutching his nose for a few precious seconds, he shoots right back up, jutting an accusatory finger in the girlโs face.
โTHE HELLโS YOUR PROBLEM, YOU LITTLE BRAT!? WHO THE HELL STICKS THEIR FINGERS UP SOMEONEโS NOSE!?โ

โYou should be thankful. You look like you could use a little racket in your life.โ
