yeah ia, it’s not actually that ooc when you think about it, just, like you said, seems out of place when you consider the rest of the story

yeah, tonally it’s way off lol. tbh i think of at least the first two arcs as a bit of a deconstruction of the 80s masculine antihero type (miura did say he was partially inspired by 80s action movies + i think he mentioned rutger hauer by name at some point) and it fits right in with establishing the archetype and then feels rly weird when you start tearing it down and getting to know guts. so i like the additional explanation to make it work a bit on both levels.
