Holy shit, this has to be one of the most emotional fights in the entire series...

AND probably the greatest snowball fight I've ever seen.

The way he shows the fight is incredible. Seeing a happy Aki playing with snow immediately followed by the corpse of his victims is haunting and heartbreaking.

At this point im just begging for Fujimoto to kill him before he snaps out and realizes what he did.

No build up followed by a cop out, he just straight up massacred a bunch of people before we knew it.

Gotta agree it's so fucked up how Aki sees that fight in his mind.. Even if they manage to bring him back he will be mind broken for good...

I just wonder why the gun devil possessed him in the first place, I bet this will be the reason he will lose. If he went with the form he attacked Makima with he could wipe out the entire city, Denji included..

But oh well he must really want that chainsaw heart.

This arc quickly turned Aki into one of my favorite manga characters. Just now i'm starting to realize how tragic he is. He's pretty much the result of devoting your entire life to revenge and anger. All the things he loved are gone and there's nothing he can do about it.

It seems that Aki has control of his body right now though, every attack he makes coincides with the snowball fight. The Gun Devil itself hasn't done anything yet. So my theory is that Makima controlled the Gun Devil into fusing with the dead Aki, the same way Pochita and Denji did at the beginning of the series. Now she controls Aki by making him hallucinate the snowball fight.

Now this is a mess. Aki's being controlled. He's killing all of them while he's just thinking of it as a snowball fight.

He thinks it's a snowball fight while he's killing innocent people, holy shit this is so cruel and heartbreaking. It would be the last thing Aki would ever want to do. That's fucked up it was so disturbing man

What a chapter! This series has always had that spark but that sparks shapes up (for me) only recently - it has a big EVA spark! or exploring the same theme through a different brutal, fast paced story that is so fantastically drawn

nah this chapter fucked me up, Aki such an amazing character, and right after he found the will to live with denji and power.
makima is a very well written character but I cannot deal with her
the whole scene with them as children makes it so much sadder, like the innocence of it all and them being forced to go against each other

Aki, nooooo.....
Correct me if I am wrong but this basically happened since Aki has devoted his entire life to revenge and hatred and thus never had any fun. This made him easier to control. Did Makima foresee this as well? Damn.
Anyways, Aki is definitely my fav character now in CSM.

As sad as this was, the use of back and forth between what seems like an innocent snowball fight and this town-wide massacre is masterful.

I think it was a brilliant chapter. Seeing a snowball throw and then the IRL result. Then the opposite. You visualize the rest in your mind. 

Not to mention getting a glimpse of childish part of Aki after what he has gone through. Just brings more pain. 

Not to mention that this memory in particular is the one most connected with Gun Devil for him, which is probably why he's seeing it.

It's cool that a harmless snowball fight is actually a bloody fight. A cool idea and an even cooler implementation.

This is so sad, still can't believe this is what happened to Aki, I wonder if he saw that he would become the gun fiend with the future devil or if he just saw death to Denji
