It’s because only blood goes berserk typically when they waken their Oni powers or when they lose control of their emotions :)
quick question why are the oni considered bad with “dirty” blood if the momo can also do this? wouldn’t by their own logic they also be considered “dirty” regular humans can’t do that! i mean i can but i’m built different

Today I heard the quote “Rukia dried Ichigo’s rain” again and I can’t help but think how it shows why their relationship won’t work romantically. It showcases how Ichigo used Rukia’s powers that were giving him as an unhealthy coping mechanism.
The rain is always going to come back. Even if you stop it for one day, it will come back in a few months, a few weeks, or even a few days because that’s how the rain works. You can never make it go away for it. It’s going to be a part of your life whether you like it or not.
And that’s how Ichigo treated the powers that were given to him. He thought that as long as he kept fighting, he’d be able to protect his family and friends forever and make sure the rains never returned. But that didn’t happen because guess what? Life doesn’t work that way.
But Orihime and Karakura town? They made him realize that while the rain never goes away, it doesn’t mean it should let Ichigo be consumed by it. The rain returns, and we live on with the water drops that stay behind. The pain will never go away, but it can hurt less over time, and maybe even one day Ichigo won’t even notice it’s there.
While Rukia and his powers were may be able to stop the rain for a while, Orihime and Karakura town taught to live with it and move on.

No, AoT is not fascist
I’m sure we’ve all of us at this point have heard of many claims about attack on titan being fascist and not just on here on tumblr but on other social media’s as well.
Back in 2019 an article titled “the fascist subtext of Attack on Titan cannot go overlooked”. Having read this article multiple times and being a long time fan who’s re-read the manga and looking as deep as I can on this situation I’ve come to the conclusion of... No.
I’ll be explaining why I think that... there is one thing this article did indeed get right though. It has heavy ww2 imagery because anyone saying it doesn’t would straight up be lying to themselves.
Ok lets get into it
Of all the things about attack on titan is I can say is that it has shown no indication of being pro-fascist.
If we’re to start it off we should at least do it starting with Marley, the nation of Marley is shown to be a living hell for eldians.
They were treated like trash got to the point where they were fed to dogs. The oppression doesn’t end there either and gets expanded upon in season 4 with the Marleyans manipulating the eldians by using the sins of their ancestors to justify
However one of the worst parts of it all is the fact that they use the eldians to fight their wars and they even have child candidates who train and inherit the titan power to fight their war, it’s not like they because they want to, they fight because they need to.
Eldians aren’t even treated like humans they’re treated like animals. Which is one of the reasons why some of the characters feel the need to fight, it’s so that they can win the war and finally get the treatment of a human person.
For other characters such as Gabi, Falco, Udo, and Zofia and at first Reiner want to fight due to how much propaganda they were filled with at a young age. Marley oppressed the Eldians using fascism and this was never once shown in a good light, this is supporting fascism how??
There are a lot of victims of Marley’s propaganda like Gabi or Reiner but let’s talk about Gabi first.
Gabi is a 12 year old child solider who was raised with Marleys horrible propaganda for what was her whole life. With this she hated eldians more than anything.
Repeatedly calling them devils and even became so absorbed within the idea that the arm-band is the only thing that separates her from the eldians on paradis, so when Falco takes it off so that they can blend in on paradis she get irrationally angry, to Gabi that cloth determines her place in world, it means everything to her.
Gabi was narrow-minded and stubborn and refused to believe anything that went against the claims of the Marley.
When she finally met a good person on paradis she used the argument again while on Marley no one might’ve questioned it and the argument even worked however when Kaya heard of this she snaps and retaliates with question, one Gabi could not use the same excuse for... she didn’t have a answer.
The world Gabi knew was shattered. As her time in paradis went on this view shifted from a narrow-minded and stubborn view to one where she learns the wrongs of her actions.
When admitting to killing Sasha, Kaya makes an attempt to kill her but she’s protected by Mikasa some who was also close with Sasha.
While past Gabi probably would have made some racist remark like “I knew you were devils !” or would’ve left her for dead, she doesn’t and instead she winds up saving Kaya and admitting to be a devil herself while feeling regret.
Similar to Gabi, we have Reiner who believed he was a “good eldian” and that he had to atone for his sins. When he inherited the armor he was sent on a mission to paradis and just like Gabi the more he was around everyone the more his world view began to shift.
If AoT was fascist yams could’ve made it so that Reiner didn’t have any regret for his actions, but he does when he was there he made friends and met people that were good people, good people that lost people they cared about because of him, not only does this make him feel guilty during the 4th season he’s completely broken and has suicidal tendencies.
He only has one reason to live by this point and it’s to protect the ones he cares about. Similar to Gabi he was Narrow-minded and stubborn and refused to believe anything that went against the Marleys claims, but when he saw it first hand that they’re not like the people Marley painted them to be it makes Reiners character arc take a shift, and as the series goes on it shifts continuously.
As for the yeagerists they’re a group of people who believe that Eren will be the one to stop this oppression against them by destroying the world by committing mass genocide. From there they can build the Eldian empire and anyone who resists will be killed...
The yeagerists is what happens when you get consumed by revenge so much so that they even think of it as a reason to justify a global genocide.
However, literally none of this was glorified.
As the manga goes on you will see how corrupt this group gets from beating up the commanders, betraying their very own military, and to the extent of killing those who resist.
The manga may have shown where they’re coming from yes. However, this is never shown in a good light, because it’s just like the Marley, they’ve become so consumed into their mistreatment and hatred to the point where everyone outside their walls doesn’t deserve to live.
These characters feel that their action are justified with the simple reason that “Marley started it first” they without even knowing became the evil they swore to destroy.
That’s supporting fascism how???
To conclude the answer is, no AoT is not fascist. All the fascist characters either go through a character arc where that fascist world view is completely broken down and learn that it only causes pain or they just straight up die. No fascist in AoT stays a fascist.
All fascists in AoT are never portrayed in a good light and always evil. Does it have fascism in it ? Yes. Is it ever shown to be the answer to anything ? No, never.
