Is Middle's horn going to react to his humanity?

I like the use of "duty" here as letting Middle subvert expectations and what we've seen so far. The Oni transformation seems to mess with emotion, both heightening desire to fight/kill and undermining the memories and such that form emotional foundations, again with a flow towards violence. But duty is somewhat orthogonal to the normal spectrum: one can hate something or love it, find it funny or sad, noble or pathetic, and yet still feel a sense of duty towards it or something bigger it is part of. And here of course Middle's duty is still towards a dimension of combat and strength which also aligns better. So it's not like he's being a pacifist, but he's also still able to maintain his self and be discriminating towards his targets. Nice to see it from that guy.

Newest chapter is 69, no one post here?
Goon Squad has stopped doing scanlation on this series, since the official translation has surpassed them. The latest chapter released in English is now chapter 80 which you can read on that shitty Kodansha app
