I have a hunch that Asagiri and Harukawa replay Akutagawa's death a lot in flashbacks as of late in the manga to justify for Bones' very very horrible adaptation of his death
Akutagawa really likes wrapping Rashomon around Atsushi's neck...
Something about how Akutugawa saved Atsushi on the boat at the weakest heās ever been. For he didnāt have his coat which was the main conduit for his ability.
And yet Akutugawa managed to manipulate the literal shirt off his back to get Atsushi to safety.
But when Akutugawa is at the strongest heās ever been thanks to Bram passing his ability onto him.
When he reaches the strength that heās always wanted to attain. Thatās when heās powerless to save himself.
Thatās when heās powerless to save Atsushi.
Akutagawa finally got everything he wantedā¦and it cost him everything.
jolts upright I've just had a realization. how much did atsushi think about when akutagawa died? how much did he replay it in his mind, go over every detail again and again? how much did he mourn it, grieve him? how many times did he recall akutagawa's last words? because for atsushi to be able to, in a split second, as he *dies* and everything around him has already gone to shit, recall what akutagawa said to him, and repeat it back? it must have been constantly.

Hi! Are you able to make a ābro, I am straight up not having a good timeā but with aku instead of atsushi? You donāt have to!
a sskk psychoanalitic canonical angst poem by yours truly!
Summary:
A question, rid of doubt, Met a spirit most devout. āJust the two of us?ā he pondered, Yet conviction never faltered.
A poem from Knight Akutagawa's POV, a dive through his mind and heart during the events of chapter 119 onward, until the post-credits scene of S5.
Read on ao3, here clicky.
Or if you prefer here:
A knight reborn with purpose clear,
To rid the world of death and fear.
He strikes with newfound resolve,
For the sins of man to be absolved.
Until he hears a panicked voice,
Begging him to make a choice.
To save himself from slaughter
And protect his treasured daughter.
And his hand shall not be reckless,
If he wants to free the helpless.
But his prowess would be bested
By a creature most detested,
A mortal turned a god,
A truly wicked fraud.
In the vile vesselās grasp,
With a faint and muted gasp,
He falls a pray to beast
Whoād relish in his feast
Of cursed souls, corrupt;
A pure world to construct.
A sudden slash would catch his eye,
The strangest phrase, perhaps a lie.
Till heās pinned aghast in place
By an almost tender gaze.
Eyes that have entrapped the sunset,
Bearing not an inkling of regret.
Familiar words, a recognition
Of a far forgotten mission.
A sacrifice, his heart ablaze
For companion he couldnāt chase.
A scream tearing through space,
Through time and painās embrace.
A heartless cur.
Mind a blur.
In need to be stronger -
Mayhap no longer.
Trust. Sincerity.
Become a Singularity.
Shared affection,Ā
Mutual protection.
A feeling unnamed,
That couldnāt be tamed.
But now left fractured and torn,
For he just lost half his soul.
. . .
The fight was cruel, frightening,Ā
Enough to send him spiraling,
Grasping at the memory
Of a long forgotten enemy.
A shadow of the past,
That wasnāt meant to last.
But now a close companion
He wouldnāt dare abandon,
Not until his cursed lungs
Have sung their final verse.Ā
He swore he would protect him
From the fate forever grim -Ā
To be a weapon of destruction,
Devoid of human function.
The knight revealed his shield
Amidst the haunting barren field.
Soft-spoken words of reassurance,
To preserve his friendās endurance.
A question, rid of doubt,
Met a spirit most devout.
āJust the two of us?ā he pondered,
Yet conviction never faltered.
āDo we need any more?ā
To win this godforsaken war.
They were bonded as a pair
In a world most unfair.
But through love unshaken, trust,
The devil shall be turned to dust.
