  Ajin: Alright so what if Immortality is literally just a respawn button and we give it to a psychopathic War Veteran that abuses the shit out of it?

  I see frieren as a positive depiction of immortality.<br><br>Yes, it means you will outlive everyone you know and love but that doesn’t mean life will lose its value because of it.<br>You can still honor the memories of the departed, while still making new memories of the friends you will make tomorrow.

  Ajin is such a great manga I am so happy you talked about it&apos;s immortality as it&apos;s also kind of unique in a way

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7M3LqLNI1Ms&amp;t=164">2:44</a> Subaru&apos;s vocal cords don&apos;t freeze. &nbsp;That spectral hand the anime shows viewers latches onto his <b>heart</b> and <i>squeezes.</i> &nbsp;For a while he does stop right then, as it feels like it could kill him in a not-so-nice way. &nbsp;Heart attack victims reportedly feel an unbearable dread in addition to the crushing pain, even first time sufferers that don&apos;t know what&apos;s happening, so I imagine that&apos;s what Subaru feels too. &nbsp;But when he does manage to push through and blurt out his ability to Emilia, the hand lets him go, only to immediately crush <i>Emilia&apos;s</i> heart to a pulp. &nbsp;Speaking of it has consequences, ones that don&apos;t limit themselves to him.

  What I love about Re:Zero is that instead of getting a shounen powerup, Subaru has to rely on others even his extremely stubborn self has a limit, and others pick him up t<br>That goes for everyone in the story too, you can&apos;t do it alone, and I love that message, &nbsp;especially from an Isekai, the author saw the trend of Isekai and saw all the bad selfish messaging and made a masterpiece

  There&apos;s a wonderful HP Fanfic where Nicholas Flamel describes his immortality like this:<br><br>&quot;Have you ever killed an hour? I imagine everyone has by age 6.<br><br>Have you ever killed a day? Most of us have had a day like that, where we&apos;re just waiting for tomorrow.<br><br>What about a month?<br><br>What about a year?<br><br>That&apos;s all immortality becomes. You kill the hour, the day, the month, the year, the decade. All that time killed, but there is no evidence of a crime. The only clue is the shadows under your eyes, indicating that you&apos;ve lost something too empty to share.&quot;

  I love Sato in Ajin and the theme of immortality it presents.<br><br>What makes Sato special is not only that he &nbsp;is an immortal sociopath but a free man. No longer bound by death and &nbsp;nothing to lose. this dude can do whatever he pleases. That means for him chasing challenge and getting that adreline rush.<br><br>However does an immortal truly has nothing to lose ? In the end Sato lost something even more important than his life : his freedom. now trapped for eternity until someone releases him. And throughout the manga, the story makes a point that the worst fate an ajin could get isn&apos;t to lose their immortality or to die. But to be caught and kept forever.

  Ajin was an absolute gem. The CG took some getting used to but it&apos;s such a cool story. Love the ghosts too.
