I Am Jealous Of Those Who Think More Deeply, Who Write Better, Who Draw Better, Who Look Better, Who

i feel like some ppl aren’t gonna like when we get more of asa’s savior complex moments, i see ppl now say ‘i want her to have a goal that doesn’t involve denji’. don’t twist my words, i want that too but as of rn her behavior makes sense and tbh, this whole savior complex is self fulfillment in a way. asa had no one from the beginning and gets thrust into this world of devils bc of yoru, we see their dynamic is rocky but at times she does confide in yoru. she does not have yuko anymore, and when asa was at her lowest, she lost her will to live until denji showed up in the falling arc. we literally see her basically say ‘if a piece of crap like him gets to live so should i’.

anyways, she's not even attracted to denji because of this savior complex neither. she liked chainsawman and denji before fami planted the idea that he needed to be saved by her. so i don’t like ppl saying ‘oh she has this idealized version of denji in her head’ bc of this panel. when really this panel doesn’t support that opinion. if anything this panel show how she sees herself, and lets be fr as of rn she has seen denji’s worst moments.
