I feel bad for Suzune. He was literally all she had while Shirayuki, in the end, didn't need him. Shirayuki only "needed" to protect the village, even if it meant having him stand guard while she fucks some other dude.

Literally, all of this could've been avoided if Shirayuki had just ran away with Jinta and married him. Suzune would've even been fine with it, but both of them had to throw away that future for the sake of some bullshit "duty" to protect the village. Your adherence to some duty got the entire village wiped out, Suzune heartbroken, and Shirayuki beheaded.

You really don't understand anything about responsibilities and duties at all. The way you said is so selfish and immature. Are you a Westerner? Since it looks like you don't understand the way Asians uphold our duty to our family. Especially when this is a historical settings, feudal Japanese would rather die than give up their honor and duty.

This whole "dude, what if le demons were just like humans :O" trope is so tiresome. Jinta asks himself, "If that's the case, then how are humans and demons any different?" Idk bro, how are chimps and bonobos any different? Oh, right, they're two entirely separate fucking species and have only some relation to one another. It's a human flaw, I guess; we're so used to ourselves being the only species capable of higher thought that a lot of people, especially noticeable with writers cause they blabber so much, tend to conflate any decent level of sapience with humanity itself. The more sapient something is, the more "human" it is treated, even if it's completely non-human. These demons, in the story, are not the same as humans, the same way that Neanderthals weren't, and I'm tired of writers who think they're being clever by writing fucking demons as if they're supposed to be some sympathetic underdogs, when they're really just showing themselves to be limited in thought. Jinta should have been killing them like worthless scum, as he had been doing, because they're at best a competing species, and at worst, a predator of humans. Why should a mouse think twice about killing an owl, if it had the ability? You can't make me believe that anyone would feel bad or think twice about killing the 2-ton human killing machine if they're a. human, and b. have the ability to kill it. This shitty trope is so stupid. It's also beyond trite, and I just wish writers would stop using it.
