“If anything, I feel like Attack on Titan is what broke it. Once Attack on Titan became the talk of the town, the 'mystery payoff (lol)' and the 'cryptic hint-dropping' got really blatant.”

  • What if the Ackerman "instinct" isn't some animal sixth sense, but information about their own death being fed back to them through the Paths, straight from the future where they die?

    アッカーマンの勘って、野生のそれとかじゃなくて、死ぬ未来から「道」を介して死に直結する情報をもらってるのでは？

  • Demon Slayer might have been the finishing blow, but it had already started going wrong before Demon Slayer.

    鬼滅がトドメになったのかも知れないけど、鬼滅の前からおかしくはなり始めてた。

  • The one character you were 100% sure would die, who somehow made it all the way to the end.

  • I just can't shake the feeling that Oda genuinely has a complex about Demon Slayer.

  • He was my favorite, so it was: "He's definitely going to die… this is going to hurt… maybe I should stop reading… still not dead… okay, surely now… wait, can he actually make it to the end? …or is this the setup where it comes out of nowhere? …it's not coming… IT'S JUST ENDING?" I was so fixated on whether Levi lived or died that the actual story took a back seat.

    お気に入りのキャラだったから、絶対死ぬだろうな…悲しいな…読むのやめようかな…まだ死なないな…そろそろかな…なんか最後まで行けそうかな？…とか油断させといて急に来るやつかな…来ないな…終わるんかい みたいなリヴァイの生死ばかり気になってストーリーそっちのけだった

  • Gotouge once wrote, 'Demon Slayer became this widely read because of all of you. You're welcome to go ahead and say you raised Demon Slayer yourselves!' That line stuck with me. The kindness, the humility — you can feel he's genuinely grateful to the readers. We're the ones who want to thank him. That's why I love the guy.

    吾峠先生はコメントで「ここまで読まれる作品になったのは皆さんのおかげです。自分が鬼滅を育てた！って言ってもいいです！」って書いてあったのが印象的でした。 文章から優しさというか謙虚さというか、本当に読者に感謝してくれてるんだなってのが伝わる。こっちが感謝したいのに。 だから好き。

  • ・Swings through the air on cables ・Senses danger on pure instinct ・Superhuman physical ability ・Turns out there's a bunch of them Ackerman = Spider-Man!?

  • Demon Slayer and Attack on Titan played a part, sure, but in the end Oda became the hare in the tortoise and the hare. While he was being showered with 'you're No.1,' the people quietly putting in the work simply delivered the results.

    鬼滅とか進撃の巨人の影響もあるだろうけど結局のところ、尾田先生はウサギとカメのウサギになってしまった 自分が1番だとチヤホヤされている間にひたむきに努力していた人達が結果を出しただけ

  • Oi… look! A whole brigade!! Word is just 4,000 of them pack the firepower of a single Levi!! WOOOAAAAAAAH

    オイ…見ろ！一個旅団だ！！ たった4000人で1個リヴァイ並みの戦力があるってよ！！ オオオオオオオオオ

  • 'Saint' Eiichiro Oda and One Piece 'got crushed by Demon Slayer' — but here's the catch: Demon Slayer didn't actually win. 'Saint' Oda just wrestled himself and keeled over on his own.

    尾田栄一郎聖とワンピースは「鬼滅の刃に惨敗した」けど鬼滅の刃が勝った訳じゃないのがミソ 尾田栄一郎聖が独り相撲して勝手に死んだだけ

  • He's just too short to hit, that's all.

  • A stark difference from a certain 'Oda' (said with a sneer) who mistook it all for a one-man achievement 😂

  • His very first appearance is drawn WAY too much like a random background extra.

    1番最初の作画がモブキャラすぎるんよ

  • He just psyches himself out and flops. Same story every time.

  • Exactly. It's deliberate — only the two Ackermans get that shiver down the spine.

    それ。意図的にアッカーマン2人だけゾクッてなってるし

  • It's been off the rails since way before Demon Slayer even started.

  • Seems like it's specifically a power limited to awakened Ackermans — Mikasa's father couldn't dodge his death, after all.

    特に覚醒したアッカーマン限定の能力っぽいですね、ミカサの父親は回避できてないので

  • Nah, it got boring after the Marineford War made it massive and he started hanging out with celebrities.

  • This one brigade… is strong…!

Editor's note

Even after the ending, Japanese fans keep re-running the story's logic — the Levi thread here reframes his survival not as luck but as cold accounting: the brigade is worth one Levi.
