You know how a lot of people have complained that this arc was dragging for too long and felt awkward?
I agree with them, no lie, but it becomes a lot better if you think of it like “what if this is how Fushi feels about the whole war?” It’s a lot more interesting that way; as though we’re really experiencing just how drained our dear MC is.
Also, Nobi, I think it’s a bit of both.
