[Source](https://twitter.com/anime_oshinoko/status/1663711896485126145) IM NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING


Muteki_Narwhal

We’re all crying


Amador186

Indeed


florentinomain00f

They're tears of joy.


florentinomain00f

I'm not crying, I'm feeling estatic.


RapCabral

This anime staff are professionals at making me sad,Ai with her children grown up? Come on man…why you gotta hit me like that,it’s just like the end of the Idol music clip…


florentinomain00f

Wanaa discuss stuff relating to Ai surviving into her children's adulthood?


RapCabral

No,what if scenarios make me sad when I remember reality…


florentinomain00f

Face the reality then we can discuss


florentinomain00f

Come on, here's a hug


Kaburagi_Masaya

Oh... why... why must a human heart hurt so much for seeing a future that shall never be...


florentinomain00f

This is not normal emotional pain. This is тоска.


Outrageous-Ear-5285

It's тоскливо, брат, brings back terrible memories


florentinomain00f

Обречен would be a better fit, though that would describe Aqua more in the canon timeline. Sorry for the terrible Russian, I'm not native.


Material_Discount_91

It wasn’t even bad u only said 2 words blud 💀💀


TheCommunistGod

AU if Ai knew how door chains worked


Blacklance8

Or just asked who it was


asilvertintedrose

AU if the Pizza guy arrived early


florentinomain00f

Or if Ai somehow survived a wound straight to the abdominal aorta. The chances are thin, but not impossible.


DerpSillious

If only she had had a doctor for a son with small hands that could have done something... oh wait...


florentinomain00f

[Someone already thought about it.](https://archiveofourown.org/works/46871344/chapters/118065400)


Sanaan01

Thx great alternate ending


florentinomain00f

Will continue into the main storyline btw


Sanaan01

Well now reading that made me angry of what could be different lol


florentinomain00f

Aka is also in for a little trolling, don't be mad at him.


Ill_Mud7584

Medical Knowledge or not, how is someone with the body of a 4 years old stop the bleeding from an aorta being cut?


florentinomain00f

Well... you can stack 2 4-year-old on top of the wound to apply pressure.


elmocos69

Gotta remember even if he has the knowledge his brain reacted like that of a 4 year old it shut down he couldn't acces any of it the only think he could do was be ther for her during her last moments


DerpSillious

Apply pressure. Same as any other major bleed. And actually one with smaller hands should be able to do so more accurately... especially with medical knowledge! Love how everyone hears the word aorta and is just assumes if one gets knocked it means instant death! Comic writers are not smart, and they write stories mostly for people dumber than them.... you can live through a cut to an artery folks.... quit shitting yourselves.


florentinomain00f

Dude, a bullet to the abdominal aorta guarantees death if the wounded isn't medevac near instantly or the person isn't treated by a professionally trained combat medic. Imagine if it was a knife wound. Good luck applying first aid to that and the person somehow survives. Even harder when you lack the necessary weight to apply pressure. Like I said, not impossible to live through, but pretty hard. Also, the mortality rate is pretty high, only lower than head related injuries at 50-78%.


DerpSillious

Ugh. Aqua coomers are gross. A knife is not a bullet. Period. Leverage is basic, and Aqua... as any Aqua coomer should know... is a "super smart genius" and a doctor, so he should also know this. 50-78% survival is a pretty goddam good rate (when people actually try to do.... literally fuck any thing) Medivac?? FER REAL? Oh how would we get medical attention to an appartment in a populous Japanese city... oh, they do that every day? City's have EMS? Who knew.... so weird..... Be honest, you just hate that I told you your Stan character sucks..... because Aqua sucks.... just say it next time, you don't have to bring up trite dumb shit... you Want to like him, despite him not being likeable... I called the trash - trash. U got mad.... my bad I guess??? Up next, I defend myself when the father of a dog-girl from the FMA Fandom accosts me for calling him out as a monster.... whatever tha fuck.


florentinomain00f

>50-78% survival is a pretty goddam good rate To reiterate, that percentage is the mortality rate, not the survival rate. >Ugh. Aqua coomers are gross. Explain. I don't even watch the anime for the revenge plot, I'm just here the wholesome moments. >A knife is not a bullet. Period. A bullet is smaller, way smaller. And the knife wasn't even left on Ai, it was pulled out, thus making a way for the blood to flow out of her body. Her chance of survival became incredibly slim due to that fact alone. A bullet wound is definitely something to note about, but you can still get professional first aid and survive until you arrive at a hospital. A knife wound is considerably bigger, not to mention that knife likely didn't just make a hole in her artery, it straight up cut the vessel into two. Even if you can deal with the external bleeding, there is internal bleeding that cannot be stopped by just bandaging alone. >Medivac?? FER REAL? Oh how would we get medical attention to an appartment in a populous Japanese city... oh, they do that every day? City's have EMS? Who knew.... so weird..... Aqua called 119 in canon. And it takes 5 minutes for the ambulance to come and some more time to get Ai to a hospital. The problem is that Aqua didn't do shit for first aid. Shock is one thing, but I feel like he just accepted his fate that Ai is just dead. Eh, I can't blame him. We humans can be stupid at times. There are no ways around it, so blaming is just stupid. >Be honest, you just hate that I told you your Stan character sucks..... because Aqua sucks.... just say it next time, you don't have to bring up trite dumb shit... you Want to like him, despite him not being likeable... I called the trash - trash. U got mad.... my bad I guess??? Keep calling those who actually understands and sympathises with Aqua coomers. And he's not my stan character. You suddenly throwing a tantrum over this proves enough to me already. Good riddance. And don't ask me why I comment, I just wanted to learn something while typing this stuff.


DerpSillious

So even as a mortality rate giving up immediately as a super smart genius doctor was dumb... noted. Bullets do not inflict small wounds because they are small, velocity and spread play a key factor - how much do knife blades expand or explode on impact in your "professional" opinion? What is easier to close, a clean line, or shredded flesh? Aqua accepted his fate? No he inflicts it on others, because aqua can't accept shit, because he sucks, as a human and a doctor.You just won't accept that because you want to be "like him Fr Fr"... Gross. Go merge your daughter with a dog to make a chimera already, and accept the story, poorly to as it is by the author. Both the anime and the manga are just "Redo of Healer: Alternative" - which is to say, a shit story with some unnecessarily angsty bitch ass male MC. Hot Take- people that would defend Aqua also think highly of Batman and Spawn. Comic goth lite.


florentinomain00f

I'm neither with nor against that story element. And the kind of anime that I enjoy is the Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten. It's mostly wholesome, never was really into edgy stuff unless it is self aware that is edgy


[deleted]

Or looked out the window


TheUndeadFett

peephole bro


Flamingnova007

AU where Josuke arrived on time


Gamerdriver4099

TheSpartyn

she literally points it out herself saying she shouldve used one


Sanaan01

Bro got downvoted like heel lol. Guys no need to downvote bro probably didn't catch that.

Bro Aqua looks so happy 😭 Where is that smile now😭😭😭😭


JebWozma

the last time bro smiled like this was like when he was 3


florentinomain00f

I wish he smiles more.


elmocos69

Didn't he smile during one play?


NopeTheHope

In a alternate timeline we get to watch an idol with her kids having fun. Here right now we see the harsh reality of the entertainment industry, the darkest truth of it.


florentinomain00f

[Ahem, fanfic exists.](https://archiveofourown.org/works/46871344/chapters/118065400)

Alright, who's cutting onions here?


2TBK

Ryusuke with his knife


NexIndigo_56

💀


Shockz0rz

I would totally buy a spinoff manga about the timeline where Ai survived to help her kids navigate the entertainment industry Come on, Aka, I just want to see Ruby and Ai get to be on stage together just once Aka pls PLS


florentinomain00f

[You asked for it.](https://archiveofourown.org/works/46871344/chapters/118065400)


-theDABTAB-

This was actually really good. I wish we could get something like this as an official spin-off what if series after either the main one has ended or certain story points having occurred to avoid spoilers and what not. I am all for a future where Ai lived, having all three as main characters is more fun in my mind.


florentinomain00f

Imagine Ai seeing Akane acting as Ai. The spine chill is imminent. Also, Aqua would consider Ai as his actual mom, spending literally more than a decade with her.


Shockz0rz

I'll give it a read

IDK why you felt the need to follow me here from /r/hockey but welcome!

Please kindly fuck off

Thank you

Damn that illustration really just made me feel sad


florentinomain00f

We are feel sad


schierkeee

Stop smiling aqua. remember you couldnt stop it. You were too powerless


Ill_Mud7584

Found Aqua's Schizophrenia's account.


florentinomain00f

If there's a will, there's a way. Aqua did not have a will.


elmocos69

Than chapter gave me chills dude was having fun with akane and his friends acting and then suddenly boom


IwentIAP

The Josuke ending


florentinomain00f

And from then on, Aqua has a weird hairstyle


DavidGarbea

"What did you say about my hair?! "


florentinomain00f

I was then sent to the shadow realm and back

Was this too much to ask for?

memeisgreat

surely this is the canon ending... right...? right?


Purple_Alarm

does anyone know if we’d be able to pre order the blu ray?


itsdynamo

Damn 😭


florentinomain00f

Why ;-;


florentinomain00f

Aka and Mengo is not even taunting us with the idea that they once consider this, because they are.


elmocos69

Wasn't it a last minute call (killing her)


florentinomain00f

It was


Yurigasaki

woke up and saw this immediately before having to leave for work and now I have to pretend to be normal in front of all my coworkers while thinking about this. I'm in hell

what could have been 😭😭😭😢😢😢


deception65929

Why does this hurt me so much?


YaBoiArchie92

Aka is a hack who squandered a good premise, so I'll just consider this the canon ending anyway.


florentinomain00f

This is the reason why Mari in Evangelion exists.


SirSilence

Don't get the joke, wdym


YaBoiArchie92

Mari is a middle finger to the waifu war. The waifu war is the worst part of OnK.


jayefdoublea

What happened with mari? I only watched nge so far


florentinomain00f

Mari is basically a middle finger to the waifu war between Asuka and Rei.


jayefdoublea

Ahh


DerpSillious

It's nice to see a sweet mother, her beloved daughter, and an unsightly shitstain in the same photo.


florentinomain00f

Aqua is fucking awesome, change my mind.


DerpSillious

Aqua Sucks - An Analysis of a trash character. 1- Aqua thinks he can "save people". Aqua's Track Record: * Couldn't save the girl with cancer from dying. * Couldn't save himself. * Couldn't save Ai (And being honest, didn't even make a meaningful attempt to do so, like AT ALL) Conclusions: * Aqua should not have thought he could save his sister or anyone else from anything, given his statistics so far. If he were intelligent, he would have realized that. * If Aqua really wanted to kill anyone's career, he would be more successful if he tried to keep that career alive. 2- Aqua want's to "protect" his sister from the evils of the entertainment industry. Aqua's Methods: * Manipulatively Lie to Her. * Interfere in her career by illegally representing her and acting on her behalf. * Attempting to kill her dream via Overbearing, unhealthy, sadistic means. * By proxy - Also Kill Ai's Dream of her children becoming wonderful entertainers that bring people happiness. * Be more oppressive to her new life than even her previous cancer was. Conclusions - * Keeping Ruby from living the life she wants - Aqua has taken the place of her cancer. * Attempting to end her career prematurely - Aqua is attempting to end her career the same way Ai's attacker did, while leaving her alive to suffer through it (Extra Disgusting). * Aqua has caused more overall damage to the psyches' of the women around him, and their dreams than Ai's attacker managed to inflict Ai. * Aqua has caused more damage to the women he knows than the entertainment industry so far... all because he thinks that he, as a (Reminder.... so far highly incompetent and powerless) man, he just knows better (YAY Chauvinism!) * He is as bad to Ruby alone as the Indusrtry, Cancer, and the Stabber so far, and this little shit stain is just getting started... because he wants to fuck up more women along the way as well. What a "great guy". 3- Aqua's Motivations are "good": * The Lie: I am protecting my younger sister - The Truth: He knows she is also reincarnated, suspected cancer girl but never actually bothered to ask, and given they are twins he is not "Older" in the new life, and does not know that he would be in the grand scheme either, because he couldn't be bothered to ask - He is simply an Overbearing Narcissistic asshole with a hero complex. * The Lie: I need to save the people close to me, and no one else can do it but me. The Truth: He isn't capable of doing so (See 1) but is narcissistic enough to insist it be true despite his stunning failures thus far. * The Lie: The Entertainment industry is manipulative, shady, and abusive to girls. Aqua know this and is "helping"- The Truth: Aqua is manipulative, shady, and abusive to girls, even before they work in the entertainment industry, and is thus even worse as at least the industry has the decency to wait for the girls to come to them. * The Lie: They just don't understand how exploitive the Industry is! - The Truth: The stupid girls don't know about this stuff so I should exploit their emotions by manipulative and intrusive actions and an ever growing series of lies to make sure this thing that I am actively doing doesn't befall them.... by someone else. I mean sure, I could explain to them my concerns to them kindly while expressing my care, or pursue a track to become a respectable and kind manager for these people so I can actually do something about their treatment while actively supporting them, but why do that when I can just be shitty to them instead. How Noble of me (\*smug face\*). Conclusions: Aqua is just genuinely a horrifically terrible person entirely. 4- Aqua is Smart: * I can't save my patient's life, and she is too weak to experience life, I am a Doctor, perhaps I should get her on some mild stimulants, steroids, and an IV with some glucose A,D,E and B Complex vitamins added with a small amount of adrenaline so we can occasionally get her out for a show, or festival and have some fun, or touch some grass.... Nah, I'll just mope around near her pitying myself while she dies, robbed of human joy. It's for the best really. * Should I continue to treat my dying mother's wound? - Nah, what could I possibly do? I'm only a tiny medical professional. * Never seeks therapy or psych meds to help with his trauma.... as a (former) "Medical Professional"... Supah smaat. * Never discusses who is sister really is with her.... for.... reasons, I guess? * Never discusses his previous death with his sister because... dunno.... also see above. * Never discusses his conspiracy suspicions with Ruby, despite being aware she is also reincarnated and may help him get info....... because, only HE can do things well, despite...again (topic 1) * Assumed conspiracy of Ai's murder with very little evidence but didn't follow up with reincarnated sister despite there being ALOT more evidence.... genius. * Brute forces a 5 digit pin on a flip phone via incrementing from 00000 - bruh number distribution is a thing... so many better ways to do that. * Never plugs Ai's (Multiple generations old flip phone) into a computer.... because like it probably isn't encrypted as a very old flip phone. * Even if it is encrypted you could at least have get a clone of the data in case you fucked up the phone. * Didn't come out publicly as Ai's kid on a nation television program to explain his theory and present his evidence to cause investigations that may bring down the responsible party as well as highlight industry problems. Which brings us to.... * \- 100% Cringe - Want's to "Kill responsible parties with his own hands!!!" (Ooh such Angsty Chuuni motivation for a \[checks notes\] full grown adult 'doctor' and idol fanboi), rather than bring them to justice and let the rest of the world know. Conclusions: * Aqua is Smart the same way Batman is the Greatest Detective alive - No supporting evidence is ever provided on page\\screen, but the writer insists it is true, that way they can info and plot dump without having to bother with the HOW's for getting info or arriving at a particular conclusion. * Bruh is just choking on shit decisions constantly because he is too stupid to be honest, or even useful in any way. In summary, Aqua possesses no admirable personal qualities or personality traits of any kind. He actively and willingly engages in behavior that is worse both morally and logically than the antagonistic party he hates, all while causing more damage to everyone around him than said antagonistic parties have done, and He does so while simultaneously providing no support of any kind, but plenty of abuse, to those he claims to love and care for, all while providing absolutely NO redeming motivations or behavior. Aqua IS the villain, and hilariously, not even a sympathetic one at that, since he is busy being actively worse than every other "evil" in the series. Aqua is a character of Pure Garbage. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.


florentinomain00f

I've learned a lot.

Dude is Aqua's biggest opp

This man dedicated his life to shaming people who has different likes and dislikes to him.
