Saike Mata Shite mo - Vol. 9 Ch. 82 - A Special Existence

[MangaDex]

 

[Thomaster]

"Just want to be special," I understand.... but calling him the same as Johann is complete and utter BS.
Just go back and lead him straight to losing his oracle and then that prick can enjoy getting beat up for the rest of his school time. I don't care that he probably doesn't know what he's talking about. He's only an unnecessary dramatic plot point anyway.

 

[cryum]

Well, he passed Kuroda's test, but I guess he never did hammer that particular issue out.

 

[Twi]

Just wants to be special, or maybe he just wants to be whole and not rip a part of himself. His mentality makes an oracle an alien unnatural power, but what if it’s not? From several other series with powers, many treat it as a part of them for better or worst and to cut off a part of themselves leaves a painful scar that time can’t erase. What if in this world everyone will eventually become oracle holders? Like in the manga iris zero, everyone has powers except the mc and he’s ostracized because of it. What if it’s a natural evolution? What if in losing your power your left a cripple in a way you won’t realize until much later.

 

[PotatoZero]

@Twi, well, if I won't realise it down the road then does it even matter?

 

[Mogima]

and what is wrong exactly with the fact that he wanted to be special? :3

 

[Twi]

@PotatoZero, haha messed up there, I fixed it. Well I’m sure you understood what I was trying to say. Thanks!

 

[knightcky]

Dang, the weakling he just saved sure dropped quite a bomb on mc.
Though he does need a bit of a reality check for his "hero" mentality.

 

[PotatoZero]

@Twi, no, actually I didn't, I thought you're implying that just because you never (will) realise something doesn't mean it doesn't matter

want to be special is not wrong

everyone one to be special in a way
but i want to punch his face for 2 reason

1. for being prick
2. put saike in the same place as johann

 

[DivisibleZero]

He does make sense though, he is becoming self-dependent to his abilities even to the point where he degrades his own body.

 

[firedeity24]

Yo is this shonen?

"Oh, you want a social system where everybody can eat their fill, can access medical treatments for free, has a job and access to education? You're just like Hitler then"
Yeah, I can also make dumb false equivalences. This manga is getting dumber by the minute.

And who the fuck doesn't want to be special? Special for your partner, your brothers, parents, friends... everybody on this planet thrives to be special in a way.

finally someone addresses the elephant in the room. The thing is, for saike to grow as a person he needs to eventually let go of his power. Considering the drawback its not responsible of him to use it forever.
He can either have a future or die with self-satistifaction while leaving friends and family mourning.
I thought all this time he has been acting pretty selfishly in his own way and that's how he's equal to Johann, one is just deriving pleasure from helping others directly and playing the hero while the other is deriving pleasure from helping his "species" future and playing leader or hero of that "species".
Maybe now he'll actually think of Mikan properly.

 

[Paulo27]

The logic in this manga seriously blows me away sometimes. Gotta love when you're just being stupid for the drama.

 

[RC1138Boss]

Comparing Saike with Johann was a bit too much.

@OniBarubary
Horseshoe theory at its finest

 

[OniBarubary]

I mean, the guy wasn't wrong; Saike has a savior complex to the degree that he puts his life at risk. He's a good guy and noble to a fault but just remember back to how many times he repeated his first day to save the girl. There's been something dangerous about the lengths he's willing to go to save people.

The problem is how far this kid took it. He was making a perfectly valid point until he started comparing him to Johann. Then it went off the rails.
