This is exactly what I was waiting for since Hokkaido-hen started. That fucking revelation just... man. This is the man who carries Evil crest on his back, only when he sought the world beyond did he truly understand what it means. Based. Utterly based, and changes everything.
Also...
This storyline is what elevated the whole manga to me. Like how could the author do that. I know jack shit whether it was revolutionary or not, but this shit is sublime. The fact that Eikichi was ready for it and Misato was the one who backed away. It’s truly JUN-AI.
