Still going through it emotionally btw. I've seen a lot of character death in anime but it's been a WHILE since I've seen one as brutal as Ace's, especially bc of Luffy's reaction to it. Character death isn't unusual but the trauma and PTSD that comes after it isn't really shown that often so Oda actually showing Luffy going through it is. Oof. That shit HURTS bro. And the fact that Luffy's immediate reaction is to just. Self destruct. To hurt himself and risk his own life?? Like it was never explicitly said but I could see the suicidal intent there and jesus CHRIST. Just sitting there watching him refuse to accept it and then mourn and grieve was absolutely brutal;; Not to mention the fact that like. We can see him having PTSD flashbacks. It was just written very well (too well bc I'm still a goddamn mess) and I gotta commend Oda even tho he's putting me through the fucking wringer

#A character death hasn't hit me this hard since Eugeo tbh. It's been a While #Actually thinking about it yeah Kirito's reaction to that was very similar to Luffy's #And Kiri actually. Did genuinely try to kill himself bc of it. Like it wasn't even subtle #Anyway. Woof. I'm fine ahaha (lying) #Do you ever just go through it emotionally and just need to lie down for a while.
