That was intense
The first part was definitely my favorite. I really enjoyed Rin’s character and her arc, even though I have a hard time with morally gray characters.
Huge TW for anything violence related, I had a hard time getting through some parts because of that.
In more lighthearted news: Kitayyyyyy 🫶🫶🫶 love him dearly
Also the scene at the beginning of part 2 where Rin and Nezha fight together? That was so epic
