>>84211 >"Run ragged and near death"? "Jumping at her own shadow"? Those are lovely, dramatic words. Did you look them up yourself? Yes, because I had to break open my thesaurus for words like "shadow" and "ragged". Like I have to now, to find an appropriately verbose synonym for "asshole": Fuckwit? Cooze? Shitstain? Dizzy bint? Or are these not suitably
lovely enough?
>Your claims are wild, and I see nothing to back them up other than: "she voted to kill us" along with the majority of the group. She's obviously tired and stressed, but that doesn't even remotely imply that she's losing it. My claims are wild? The only thing I asserted was that she was desperate, and that this is what has kept her alive thus far. When did I say that she was 'losing it'? You say she is tired and stressed, but desperation is too much a leap for you?
>It's like saying that Freud's Oedipus Complex theory applies to everyone who doesn't get along with his father. It is impossible to convey in text how embarrassed I am for you right now.
>She trusts her allies, it's just that she doesn't see us as one of them yet. Against all evidence. We don't know the specifics of how she became allied with the others, other than that she wasn't leading them at the time, and Youki was, but I don't think Rinnosuke for example could have shown the level of trustworthiness we have. In fact, given the divisiveness in the group: Everything goes to majority vote, we're tested in combat, we're tested by a mind reader, then tested again by a robot. All of this while knowing that we're an oni, and therefore
cannot possibly lying. A rational, calculating Youmu would place far more trust in us than in the rest of her 'allies' who either haven't shown that can pull their weight in combat, don't trust her judgment, or had let her walk into
alone what
must have been a trap had we really been an adverse party.
Why alone? Is it really concern for their safety? Without her it seems they would be lost anyway. Or maybe she
doesn't trust them to the point where she is willing to be alone with them and
not get stabbed in the back?
If she completely trusted her allies, she would be stupid or insane. Any one of them could be a mole. I'm sure at least one is.
>Considering that the last person they let in 'killed' her father not that long ago, I think that's to be expected. Yes, irrationality seems to be a matter of course here.
>Let's be honest here, your theory has no merit or proof, and you seem to be arguing "just cuz". What theory? That every principal in the story has a role to play, and that if they do not play it well, they lose their abilities, and then die? Because I don't think I mentioned any of that earlier.
>Also, it pisses me off when someone misuses a quote from a Japanese book of strategy/philosophy. That's the very definition of weeaboo. Okay, Chuckles, tell me: What would be the correct context to use that bit I quoted?
I await your exegesis with bated breath.
>>84213 >Right. Because Youki definitely wasn't a samurai. Youki is a Hermit. He thinks about things deeply, asks the hard questions, contemplates, philosophizes. And though we cannot be sure he is dead--which is about as likely as he is dead in canon (i.e., not very)--we can be relatively sure that his fighting days are over, as, again, they are in canon.
