Thanks! I did some research trying to find their backstories. Fuji was straightforward but Kuzan was really hard....you may be right on Kuzan's potential tragic end.
That's the second time you've mentioned the dual personality thing, how does that work exactly? Like an alter ego?
Like what's the difference between each Admiral and his true self? Is it a big gap?
Imo if I understand it right, Fuji is the Admiral who is truest to himself. Ryokugyu and Aramaki might end up having the biggest gap if my hunches are true.
Similar to the real world home vs work personalities
This is Kizaru the natural calamity government human weapon (actual scary panel)
While this is good old uncle Borsalino
We see him switching masks a couple times in Egghead
Like when Saturn got hit by Kuma he lost all hesitation and actually went for the kill on Kuma Bonney and VP, when minutes earlier he fed Luffy in order to stop Saturn and himself
Akainu for once as a marine carries himself honorably, has brotherly bonds with Kizaru and Fujitora, cares about family as seen when he executed the deserter, spared Aokiji, slandered the Whitebeard pirates for cowardice, raised the morale of marines after Ace escaped etc
So we can clearly see traits of a great leader who can do good
But the reality is different, on the field he’s a menace who’s ready to look past these values to uphold the law which he’s brainwashed to think is supreme in order to maintain peace and exterminate evil piracy. There’s a lot more to unfold for his character, he’s definitely a changed man after taking office lol
