11/9/2023 0 Comments Jin mori love interest![]() It's not that this is unfitting or something I dislike, just very intriguing.Īnyways thanks for the response! You've given me some things to watch for as my rewatch progresses. He's indignant at the idea that he has to go help Fuu and pass on this epic fight. I suppose I can boil it down to Mugen's reaction when Jin tells him to leave. To be clear, I'm not disagreeing, I think it's obvious all three changed and came to at least tolerate one another. I do think he was willing to sacrifice himself for Fuu, in a sense, but he probably would have done that very early in the series: he made a vague promise to Fuu and protected her from there on out. For example, I just can't tell about Jin/Kariya. You're also right that it's hard to tell where honor/bloodlust ends and friendship begins. So, my surprise didn't allow me to appreciate what that moment may have meant. Good point with the throw! I thought for a second he was trying to show he didn't care about Fuu dying, calling the guy's bluff almost, but then the ropes fell away. Once again, almost any action in the show can be taken as “they love to fight” or “they saved each other so they could be the ones to kill the other” but iirc, there were points earlier in the series where Mugen would say out loud that he was going to be the one to kill him, hinting to why he helped him fight. Mugen knew why Jin was going to the brothel and when Fuu came and told him he was in trouble, Mugen did whatever he could to help Jin save the woman. Thinking back on the series, I’ve always felt that the episode with the brothel showed the friendship of Jin and Mugen. You can argue that he want me t back for the fight but I saw it as putting himself in harms way for her. ![]() He was literally willing to give his life to save Fuu even though he survived. I think the same thing with Jin and his sacrifice. When nuhuh throws his sword to cut Fuu’s ropes so she can go find her dad while he was left weaponless (besides his dagger), I believe it was because he cared for her and was willing to do anything to make sure she finished what she sought out to do. I think we can see the change in their sacrifice. I remember all the details of the episodes except the names of the characters in the last episodes. It’s been a while since I’ve watched the show. To be clear, I'm not dissatisfied with the ending, and I do believe Mugen and Jin (as well as Fuu, of course) grew over the course of the journey, I'm just wondering how much of that growth was internal and how much was the three actually developing friendships with each other. He says Mugen and Fuu are his first two friends, similar to Mugen saying he doesn't want to kill Jin, but nothing comes of it, and he never says anything like it to Fuu. He is more "traditionally honor bound", but that's why he wants to keep fighting Kariya, because it's an honorable challenge and it will buy time for Fuu to complete her journey. I didn't expect him to tell Fuu she's his best friend or he loves her, but nothing suggested he cared about her at all really. Some people mention Mugen and Jin sacrificing themselves for Fuu and the journey at the end, but Mugen really did not want to leave the fight with Kariya (he saw it as the bigger challenge) and when he got to the island, he was all about the fight. ![]() I know the ending has been discussed a lot but I'd like to focus on a specific aspect: do the three like each other, at all?įirstly, does Mugen have any positive feelings about Fuu (to be clear I don't mean romantically)? Him not wanting to kill Jin was a big deal, but that seems to be the only change he went through. Just finished this show and am already a few episodes into a rewatch. TLDR: In the last episode, both Mugen and Jin still seem very uninterested in Fuu, and despite moments that suggest significant character growth, that growth does not seem to involve the other characters.
