Aki before: "I'll get my revenge on the Gun Devil"
Aki now: "First drive kids to school, get the groceries, walk the cat, pick up Denji from soccer practice, and Power from ballet practice, make dinner and make sure they take their bath."
i love watching these devil hunters get soft when they have to babysit power and denji, aki was deadass sitting there talking about "power doesn't throw her vegetables" and mad dog kishibe was nodding along like, "thats great, thats real progress"
Picture a chibi Denji and Power showing Aki their tests, both with a D. They're both happy they did better, and Aki's just indifferent, but late at night when they're both sleeping, Aki's sticking the tests to the fridge with magnets.
the worst thing probably for aki is he being force to accept gun devil power to save life that he cares about and let denji kill him later or being betrayed by the people he cared about right now imo
