The Reigen Arataka Deranged NormalMan Review

Do you ever think about how Reigen has like. A really strange belief in The System and How Things Should Be. Like REALLY strange. Whatever he's got going on is so much weirder than "scammer with a heart of gold".

I think it all comes together if you read the 10th Season 3 omake like, seriously interrogate this:

This is normal, if comedically thoughtful and realistic for a shounen character. This guy talks like a mandatory reporter. What's strange is what immediately follows:

"AS A SPIRITUAL SPECIALIST" DOING A LOT OF HEAVY LIFTING HERE REIGEN

Not only did he hunt down the families of the children bullying his client (insane. where did he get that info), he also contacted the school as if he were representing his own son in order to get justice, and then hunted down a source of complaints when the school fell through.

This is like a genuinely bizarre level of commitment to the bit, and the bit is "the system works, and if it doesn't work, we will find a system that does work, and if we cannot, hell or high water it is my PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY to make the system stop slouching so it works again".

Long thread on the manga with this reading⬇️

Before I start. Reigen adopting Teru is more IC than you think but I don't think it is IC in the way people think it is. I think about this a lot and I think people who do it because they like Reigen aren't understanding how into his bit he is. Guy who talks to social services

So remember the arc that won people over to Reigen despite the fact he's an asshole who takes advantage of Mob and derides him constantly in order to keep him complacent?

He has Mob's phone on his GPS. This makes sense; he's been taking him out and about since he was 11. Very responsible!

Reigen dismisses the "Boss" mistake thinking well, it's a misunderstanding, but it got me in. Yet as soon as he heard they're committing crimes, he VISIBLY puts on his Boss Pants to chastise them. Again, normal so far. I think any scammer with a heart of gold would do this. (And foreshadowing for why he retried reprimanding the Claw Cadres a second time after getting power.)

Again. He's a scumbag. So he leaves Mob to beat their asses using his previous rhetoric. But then!

Reigen's shady morality is more like "people who can take care of things should take care of things". To him, Mob is the Authority on Espers, and can handle conflict like this. Immediately upon becoming aware he can't, Reigen thinks "oh, okay, so the only person who can take care of things is someone who can deescalate". (Pictured: Deescalation)

Okay. Besides the fact this is insufferable as a general concept - YOU just told him to handle it YOU are the source of his stress - his first step in deescalation is to force Mob to back down. Rather than asking him not to fight, he reestablishes "rules" in order to convince Mob he must back down - the same way he tried using what he said to worm his way out of dealing with this shit - and then sets himself up as the authority figure to which the others must obviously defer in matters of His Boy, like a parent accepting criticism at a PTA meeting. This isn't Reigen claiming Mob so much as "in order for them to not attack Mob, they must view me as a representative for Mob".

And like a good authority figure:

Continuing with his phrasing:

If you think about it, this is like...an objectively very strange and incredibly bold approach to this situation. They're homicidal. Reigen is a DERANGED level of Normal Man. He has this image in his head of normalcy, of the world at standard operating procedures, and reinforces it right through an entire conflict. Carceral beliefs don't even factor into this, simply expressing his principles and expecting them to fold.

And they do lol. I keep wondering how Shou must have felt listening to him talk like that

We see a little more of his good side in work; when he was getting so little work it was affecting his grocery bills, this moneygrubbing scammer still asked for like $200 to clear an entire city of hauntings. (His regular exorcisms are around $30). Fair prices are part of his principles of how the business should be. He operates basically at-cost. He mentions he wanted to come out here because he's bored. He's killing time as a career.

Aside:

Just realized he called Mob in last minute so Mob didn't know he accepted crops instead of money. Shigeo didn't like that

So consider that he never got caught here and there was a call on the news to hunt him down at the end of this bit: for the average viewer of the anime, it's just funny, but this is part of the Mogami pre-arc so we've gotten a hold of him by now; he probably holds an inherent belief that the police will intercept him and not Mob. Why wouldn't they? Why would an adult man want to dress up in a highschool girl's uniform? The System will understand.

Not relevant to my point but I like how he realizes what's wrong with Mob way before the final arc, just not why it's happening. Also he doesn't say anything.

With the way his principles are, you really get the feeling that Reigen does his best to avoid culpability specifically because if something happened that was his fault, he'd have to step up to the plate to compensate for that, which is troublesome to him who is a career time-killer. It does not occur to him that an actual bad person and scammer would not step up to the plate as a matter of course. This is his way

What I find really interesting is that this Militant Insane NormalMan does have a sense of wanting something "special", but rather than whip Mob up the way Dimple did Ritsu, he ended up projecting his own values onto Mob, as if he could recreate a special "self" within him. He's always deriding him and baiting him and lying to him in hopes of creating a superb person that a special individual like Mob finds admirable, as if Mob is the authority on his quality of character. Sad! lol

Anyway, it adds a lot more kick to this famous line. Reigen genuinely believes in Authority

Authority works!

And if Mob (the authority on espers) doesn't work, who's the person who MUST step up to the plate [common sense]? You guessed it.

There are other aspects of Reigen's character that everyone and their dog has already picked up on (his self-loathing is the entire reason the way he talked to Mob in Confession arc hit so hard), but this one's my favourite. He's insane

why lolicon is bad

1. Ethical Concerns

The most pressing ethical issue with lolis and lolicons is the portrayal of underage characters in a sexualized manner. Even though these characters are fictional, their representation often mirrors and perpetuates harmful sexual fantasies about minors. This normalization can desensitize individuals to the exploitation of real children. Sexualizing young characters in any form, whether fictional or real, raises significant moral questions about consent, exploitation, and the integrity of childhood.

2. Psychological Impact

Engaging with lolicon content can have detrimental psychological effects on individuals. For some, the attraction to lolis might reflect or exacerbate unhealthy fantasies and desires. This can be problematic in two ways: it may reinforce and normalize inappropriate desires, and it may lead to a desensitization towards the exploitation of real children. Even if such content is consumed privately, the mental and emotional impact on individuals who engage with it can be profound, potentially leading to issues of mental health or social isolation.

3. Societal Implications

On a societal level, the existence and proliferation of lolicon content can contribute to the broader acceptance of child sexualization. This is dangerous because it undermines societal norms designed to protect children and can inadvertently support a culture where the sexual exploitation of minors is trivialized. Additionally, the existence of such content complicates legal and ethical discussions about freedom of expression and protection of minors. Societies must navigate these issues carefully to ensure that freedoms are exercised responsibly and do not come at the expense of vulnerable populations.

No x reader, I hope its okay! 😅🙏

A SFW request where Muzan is REALLY just a timid and easily scared guy, who everyone somehow thinks is terrifying and evil.

Only the uppermoons knows what he's really like and is very protective of him because if his kind and timid personality.

Could I have some headcanons about their thoughts on this Muzan?

The Upper Moon's thoughts on a timid yet kind Muzan.

        I don't usually write for Gyokko due to my incompatibility to understand his personality well enough to write about him, but I figured it'd be a good writing challenge for me.

        Wordcount: 996

The title “Demon King” is already fearsome enough. No demon dares utter the king’s name in fear of his curse he’s instilled to the species. Any demon who talks bad about their progenitor often faces the wrath of the Upper Moons. Demons who get summoned to the Infinity Castle assume the king is mad at him, why else would he be shaking in anger? 

        In truth, he’s shaking of fear. The Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji, the one who leads the Demon species, is a total coward. Understandably, having a burning feeling in your throat after taking a vaccine in hopes to strengthen the weak body that left you bedridden for almost your entire life would be scary. Finding yourself with growing strength and hunger after taking said vaccine, then killing the doctor who made a cure to save you from death, then the terrible thirst for human flesh and cannibalizing the species you used to be, would be terrifying for anyone.

        Muzan’s newfound abilities and thirst for blood left him feeling scared, especially once the Demon Slayer Corporation formed and sought out to destroy him. He eats humans to survive just as humans eat cattle to survive, why are they attacking him when he’s just trying to live as another other human would? To save himself from being hunted down, he’s found a way to multiply demons and build himself his own army to defend himself (more so slow the slayers down from getting to him). As the years went by and demons populated Japan (possibly the entire world) six demons made their presence known in the demon world for their strength. 

Kokushibo:

        As possibly the first Upper Moon and one of the oldest demons to still exist, he’s been by Muzan’s side for centuries. The Upper Moon originally joined Muzan after gaining his mark as a Demon Slayer, but after learning a slayer with a mark doesn’t live past 25, he became a demon.

        Now that he works under Muzan, he's seen Muzan true self (the one most demons aren't aware of) he's not entirely sure if he's scared of the demon or not. The only reason he doesn't fight or kill Muzan would be because of Muzan's abilities. Muzan may be a coward, but he can certainly protect himself if it comes to that. 

        Kokushibo thinks it's a little admirable, to live in a world where those hate and seek to kill you, then to dominate an entire species to your beckoning call, it evens the scale out and makes up for Muzan's cowardliness.

Douma:

        Douma thinks it's quite enjoyable that Muzan is a scaredy-cat. He likes hiding in the Infinity Castle and waiting for Muzan to turn the corner so he can jump at him (he almost got his head slashed off for that). Douma might hold back on his teasing of Muzan if Koushibo says something about it. 

        During meetings, he'll purposely act out to see if Muzan is brave enough to punish him (it usually results in a fight with him and Akaza, a argument with Daki, or Nakime having enough and teleporting him out of the Infinity Castle). 

        Douma doesn't understand how mean his actions are due to his inability to understand or feel much emotions, but Akaza can hit him enough to realize when his words are uncalled for. Douma doesn't see Muzan as weak, he understands Muzan's strength, he just doesn't have much attachment to his own life and therefore has no fear in teasing Muzan. 

Akaza:

        Akaza loathes Muzan's real personality. He doesn't like weak people; demons are no exception—especially if you're the demon king. He believes that Muzan should pass his title down to someone with a more authoritative persona, but that's until he realizes how powerful Muzan truly is. 

        Akaza may not like Muzan's timid personality, but he does respect Muzan's ability to hold up in battle, earning Akaza's position as the third Upper Moon. Akaza doesn't know whether to interpret Muzan's kindness as him pitying Akaza for being weaker than him, or if Muzan's just truly being nice because of the goodness of his heart. 

Hantengu:

        Hantengu understands Muzan's timid personality. Hantengu will gladly hide with Muzan somewhere if one of them feels threatened or scared. Despite them both having a timid personality, he does still feel fearful of Muzan and acts like he's walking on eggshells because he knows of Muzan's true strength. He believes Muzan's personality is misleading. 

Gyokko:

        Gyokko isn't sure whether to feel pity for Muzan or make fun of his personality. He might make a few teasing comments, but unlike Douma, he values his life a bit more. He thinks it's artistic (oddly enough), he believes Muzan's appearance and aura screams "intimidation" yet Muzan's true personality is just being a scared and loving coward. 

        Gyokko likes to make vases for Muzan, he believes Muzan won't take it as a sign of disrespect to his higher up (Muzan loves the vases). 

Gyutaro + Daki:

        Gyutaro laughs at the irony; the most powerful demon being a scaredy cat, it's funny to him. Gyutaro doesn't make fun of Muzan because he's afraid of Muzan's strength. Daki, however, does not find his personality as funny like how Gyutaro does. Daki has a little crush on Muzan because of his thoughtfulness to her and Gyutaro.

        Daki will defend Muzan and lash out at Douma and Gyokko if they pick on Muzan (Gyutaro will reluctantly back her up). Gyutaro might feel pity for Muzan at times, but in those cases he doesn't really do anything other than listen more to Muzan. Daki aims to please him so she does whatever he requests of her, going above and beyond to prove how useful she is to him.

I just read an interesting isekai, harem uppermoons x reader (gender neutral) fanfic on ao3 called the awakening of the demon king by wholesome_sliced_bread and plot so far is amazing!

In a nutshell, reader found a dead Muzan and ate him and they became the Demon King. (I find this terribly disturbing and funny at the same time).

You were just a student but then you stumbled across Muzan’s corpse and nom nom nom. ✨ expensive mukbang ✨ You got isekaied to the Demon Slayer world. (I drew another version of reader for another fanfic— I’m not running out of ideas at this point. But I drew them female huhu I should’ve drawn them ambiguous.)

Since you became the Demon King, all of the demons under Muzan’s creation, especially the Twelve Kizuki are under your control.

The original story of Demon Slayer might change depending on Reader, who is a fan of Demon Slayer in the real world, meaning they know everything what will happen to the story, who dies and survives, and how the original story will end. The fate lies upon their hands.

I enjoyed the story so far. I recommend everyone to read it~

Hori really does love rewarding characters who don't deserve it, while punishing those who actually give a damn.

Bakugou's a bullying, narcissistic, idiotic moron of an asshole who lived a golden spoon life of wealth and being spoiled (conformed by Hori himself)? The narrative and characters bend over backwards to accommodate him. Obviously he's this genius prodigy who inspires everyone, even though his behavior in the field would realistically get people hurt and/or killed.

Shinsou's a whiny scrub with a victim complex? He gets favoritism from Shota "I hate favoritism" Aizawa himself AND gets to join the hero course.

Endeavor's outed as an abusive person? Well, obviously the people criticizing him are in the wrong, and this is supposed to be kept within the family!

Nighteye is a creepy and pathetic control freak who uses teenagers for his own means and doesn't understand the word 'no'? He was coming from a good place, and he was right in the end!

All Might's been put on a pedestal for the past 40+ years and makes mistakes because he's a human being? No, he's an idiot of a mentor who gets criticized and villified for breathing.

Aoyama's forced into being the traitor because of his parents and clearly hates doing it? Bye bye, he's leaving the hero course and getting replaced by someone who didn't care to actually TRY to prepare for UA.

Izuku operates within the law and tries to work with his bully? No, HE'S the one in the wrong and he's not allowed to be at least slightly resentful when he's screwed over by those around him. Not to mention, he's seldom been apologized to by those who wrong him.

The journalists rightfully call out UA on coddling Bakugou and doing a shit job at protecting their students? Obviously it's a smear campaign against UA, and who cares if Aizawa didn't even answer the journalist who directly called him out on not doing his job as a teacher and getting Bakugou's head out of his ass.

I'm so glad I dropped this series, because what in the actual fuck was Hori on while writing it?

It's such a pattern of rewarding shitty behavior that it's actually gross. And you know what? It exactly perpetuates what the narrative was trying to call out before Horikoshi changed everything. He literally actively wrote against his own thesis. That's got to be some kind of cruel irony right?

Small and big 🤐
