I Don't Know Especially With The Lastest Chapter (ch 265) This Just Feels So Much Like Yuuji.

I don't know especially with the lastest chapter (ch 265) this just feels so much like Yuuji.

Like especially in the first season people kept asking why he is doing all this, why he wants to save people, why he's beating himself up so much over people he barely knows. People kept wanting to know Yuuji's why and he couldn't explain it he was holding unto the promise he made to his granfther as an explanation but that wasnt really is.

And then you have Mahito who tried to force his own defintion of who yuuji was unto him and beat him down until Yuuji believed it too. He's just a machine killing curses because thats his nature vs Mahito killing humans cause thats his nature. They are beings of instinct slaves to their nature, cogs in the machine. And Yuuji internalizes that so much it weighs so heavily on him the idea that his job isnt to save people but kill curses doesn't sit right with him.

but then at what should be his lowest point he stares his biggest tormentor in the face and said you know what I don't particulalry care what you or anyone else thinks about my reasons. I don't think you have to have grand or innate reasons to do something. Sometimes you just do! and what yuuji wants, more than anything; more than killing curses more than keeping the "weak" safe, is to save his friends. And it's too late for a lot of them, Yuuji was too late but goddam it he won't be late for this. So fuck Sukuna he's bringing Megumi home.

I feel like the main reason this evil shanks theory is so prevalent (besides the private meeting the the gorsei which up even I can’t explain) is that his general cheeriness and lackadaisical disposition is more of a presented front, a mask to be slipped on and off at will which would be fine if he weren’t often put in the same boat as Roger and Luffy two people ( for as much as we know about roger) who have no masks at all.

Don’t get me wrong I’m pretty sure that Shanks is a naturally happy, good natured dude but he’s also the most politically minded pirate we have seen on the show (and some of these pirates were actual politicians) like I’m pretty sure Roger is more mature and secretive than Luffy ( makes sense he’s older and has seen more of the world) but with both of them you never get the sense that their silliness is something they are putting on for the direct purpose of making themselves less of a threat. They both can get serious when the situation calls for it but that feels more of an extension of their already established personality more than a hidden personality.

While with shanks it’s undeniable that something changed within him and his goals the day Roger died I don’t know if Roger actually told him something or if he just wasn’t dealing with the abandonment well it was probably a mix of both honestly. But yeah Shanks comes off as a guy with his ear to the ground someone who has schemes on schemes on schemes. he’s someone playing in the long run, kind of like crocodile but not nefarious. And when compared with a straight forward head first always kinda guy like Luffy, like he often is, he can come off a little suspicious.

There’s something that’s a little fake about his cheer, something a little too performative about his optimism and foolishness. I think it’s a mix of; he’s housing a deep sadness, he’s more of a realist that an optimist and also dudes just a pacifist unlike like luffy who loves to brawl ( like luffy knows when it’s better not to fight but he also loves a good fight) and he would rather deescalate a situation than fight it out and sometimes the easiest way to do that is with an air of cluelessness and making yourself seem less of a threat which makes it so much more jarring but effective when he reveals just how big a threat he is. but I can see why people think it’s suspicious.

(Interestingly even when luffy tries to emulate this behavior like when he first encountered Bellamy at the pub his plan is to just not react which while in the same vain is very different than Shanks actively playing the drunken good natured take it on the chin role for the bandits Luffy was still essentially himself he just refused to react while Shanks played a role which made it more terrifying and effective when he stopped)

Also it doesn’t help that until recently he’s largely been missing from the narrative with just a man echoing or a whisper here or there of how powerful he is.

But I think we should remember that Shank’s goal is essentially world peace. and peace, a true lasting peace, is just a little more of a precarious balancing act, than utmost freedom. For freedom you have to destroy the old game, for peace you have to learn to play a new one, hopefully with a bit more kindness injected into the foundation.

Mihawk's two seconds on screen in Stampede are such a mood--

Shows up by cutting through a ship that dares to be in his path, watches his student cut a meteor in half, proceeds to upstage his student by cutting said meteor into gravel with one slash, then leaves.

My man really went "Is this self proclaimed 'world's strongest' man wielding a sword? No? Why did I even bother to come out here, this is not worth my time. Farewell, people I couldn't care less about."

I do think that somewhere buried deep within his "heart🙄" under layers and layers of deep general disdain, Mihawk does have a modicum of respect for Buggy.

He'd rather die than acknowledge the mutinous part of his brain that thought this though.

The text describes a painful scene from the life of a family suffering from the ravages of war and continuous displacement. The narrator's older sister and sister-in-law were pregnant during these difficult times. Due to the displacement and unstable conditions, they endured their pregnancies amidst great fears and hardships. The older sister gave birth to a beautiful baby named Amir, while the sister-in-law gave birth to a child named Malak, both during the war.

The newborns live in unhealthy conditions in temporary tents, leading to respiratory infections and slow weight gain due to the scarcity of infant formula. The overcrowded field hospital was the family's only medical refuge, but it was insufficient due to limited resources.

My brother's son, Muhammad, is a beloved five-year-old child, but he suffers from a serious illness called "polio," which requires continuous and expensive treatment for him to live like other children. Our hearts break every day as we see him suffer, unable to afford the treatment he needs.

The family was forcibly evacuated from Rafah to Deir al-Balah, where only ruins remain, exacerbating their suffering. Doctors have confirmed that keeping the children in these unhealthy conditions will negatively affect their growth and full recovery. The text reflects the suffering of families in Gaza and the harsh conditions they live in, highlighting the health and humanitarian challenges faced by children in conflict areas.
