I do not understand at all where people who are saying “Akira has been reduced to nothing but a weak character/damsel in distress/etc” are coming from. Can we take a step back and remember that just because someone needs to be saved, does not mean they are weak? Can we recall that this is /Seidou/ she was up against? Who had just offed Tatara, 2nd in command in Aogiri, and Houji, a Special Class officer? Seidou, who plucks people’s heads off left and right as easily as it is to lift an apple? Who before this, even Sasaki had issues with?
Akira is not weak, nor has her character been reduced to anything akin to simply a damsel in need of a strong muscle-man to save her 24-7. Seidou is literally just really hecking strong? Please stop throwing these assumptions about to justify any hate you may have.
