As a certified Akechi lover i probably should have more love for Legato. But it is just not the same.

Probably the level of cruelty involved + the fact that Akechi's ultimately a kid with a vendetta & too much power whereas Legato is someone who had no will to live so he filled that hole with the will of someone actively pursuing genocide.

Fantastic antagonist! Compelling narrative purpose! I love Legato as a character. I still want to drop kick him anytime I see him.

#speculation nation #major antagonist and foil to the protagonist does not a favorite character make #idk ive just been wondering why legato doesnt hit for me like he does some other people #considering how much i love akechi #& i guess it boils down to the Reasons for what they do. ultimately goro's doing this out of a twisted sense for justice #and an extreme anger derived from his childhood that is frankly justified #whereas legato is just... that dude is Fucked Up. i mean akechi is too but MAN.#while akechi sacrificed himself in the end to save the protagonist. legato FORCED the protagonist to kill him #via threatening someone vash cared about #two very different forms of suicidal self sacrifice. one born from the wish to change things at the last moment #for the sake of the protagonist. & using that as an excuse to say goodbye to this wretched life #vs legato living his life for the purpose of serving knives & if his purpose is erased there is no point to living #& he has been Obsessed with vash. a hatred to rival his love for knives. so it's one final Fuck You to force vash (known pacifist) to kill #a death born out of the sick wish to corrupt him. to force vash to kill him instead of killing himself.#LIKE it really is so fascinating. i could study them both under microscopes forever #but it's that difference in motivations that has goro being My Son and legato being a character i want to throw off a building #no hate to legato lovers Genuinely. fascinating character. im just trying to sort out my feelings on him.#trigun spoilers/#suicide ment/
