I saw someone mention a desire for Sensei to be less depressed and more directly involved in his own life, trying to figure out what's really going on. I agree; here is an example of the Akira I want to see.
From "I Will Deliver You to the Fireflies"
I am certain this is some manifestation of Akira, considering his note of his "dramatically impressive cock", his theme playing, and the camera pointing directly into his eye for most of the speech.
This marks the high point of his character so far, in my view. The monologue is lucid and determined in a way we've never seen him. But it's transient and seems to be directed at an unknown other. Is this a past, future, or suppressed version of Akira? Does he exist outside the loops? Is a less broken version of himself trapped in his own mind?
If anyone recalls any other instances where (an?) Akira expressed similar emotions, it would be great to see them. Something I've dearly hoped for since Reset 5 is that Akira's journey of self-realization will see him become a high-agency protagonist willing to directly challenge the gods of this world and entities beyond.
An Akira who comes out of these decades of trauma feeling like this diatribe sounds, able to fight demons and gods for what he loves, would be a character worth rooting for. Maybe he's "no protagonist" because he hasn't earned it yet. Maybe the dark route will not be dark for his mind, but dark for the world when he finally takes action.
I doubt we'll see much development in this area for a long time, though it looks to me like there's some evidence here for it. I, for one, would appreciate little more than to eventually see Akira become self-possessed and worthy.
