i donât have really any other place to gush about how fucking incredible this episode was and how many things it proved me right about from headcanons to his mannerisms but--this was fantastic. i loved it. it not only proved me right abt naegi as person but as a character and his overall resilience to things that have the capacity to completely destroy him, but donât. mirai hen just went ahead and proved not only that naegi canât feel despair, it also proves that his overall development is not dependent on compromising on the worldview thatâs kept him alive all of these years--and iâm extremely confused as to why anyoneâs taking this as the exact opposite of that.
  naegi is humble by nature we all know that and always placing what he accomplishes and what he is able to do on the backs of those he considers his friends  ( a broad range, as weâve already seen ), but the fact is heâs an extraordinary person whether he wants to accept it or not. not only in the meta sense that heâs a clear exception to the âoh everyone feels despairâ thing, but as a human being. not to mention he should totally be dead, he shouldâve died a long time ago and his own strength was finally (finally!!!) brought to life here as well as his own intelligence and how far heâll do something to try and amend things.Â
  if the fact that naegi isnât completely ordinary is disappointing--thatâs your loss ? honestly ? donât even get me started on âoh this takes away his humanityâ when he also has struggles and flaws just like anyone else and the one thing that stands him out from the rest of the cast (except nanami) is that heâs never going to be able to experience a state of complete hopelessness, which is all what despair is. let him attempt (and fail) to grieve properly, be angry and frustrated, and be tired for fuck sakes, but donât take a moment of him having trouble keeping himself together in front of others since thatâs an obligation heâs taken upon himself as a moment where he ~despaired~ when the reality enoshima presented him back in dr1 couldnât do that much. ( if youâre looking for a character whoâs completely ordinary compared to the rest of everyone in this series. youâve got hinata. smh. who is great by the way but heâs the most normal person in the series next to komaru come on. )
  donât even get me started on the fact that this in no way sets him up to even consider munakataâs irrational views ( which are being heavily clouded by the grief and Mainpain from yukizome kicking the bucket ). iâm so satisfied. they couldâve fucked up their naegi characterization and made him attempt to reason with killing but no and i know itâs a very hard thing to mess up but they did it with hinataâs characterization in zhen so i was Holding My Breath. i might actually stay on my blog if they keep this up omg.
