4. Cog
After defeating Mahito, Yuji speaks aloud his new mentality, cog mentality. "You're right, Mahito... I'm you!"
Yuji and Mahito are the same, and they both pointed it out, but in different meanings. And they didn't imply solely their mass murderer status.
Steadily Yuji realises that in order to save people, he must kill other people (transformised souls). This draws inner contradictions in Yuji's heart. Mahito was the one who pushed Yuji to this dissonance, the one who made Yuji a murderer and who gave him first impulse of chaos.
Yuji is arguably the best written JJK character in terms of development. His mental path can be divided on four parts:
1. Meaning
2. Death
3. Sins
4. Cog
Here I'll dissect the methamorphosis of Yuji's philosophy and gradual transformation of his life meaning.
Being clearer, there is no point in revealing the approaching figure as it is suspense itself. Reader shouldn't question who is the figure, he should question how blinds will handle it. But nobody could answer this back in 1894 - time when God's death was a mass manifestation.
New gen is full of great stuff, and some of these impressed me even more than old generation. "86" is the definition of peak; first episode of "To Your Eternity" is the best media episode I've ever seen; Shibuya Arc got my favourite dynamic (Yuji-Mahito); CSM is just too unique https://t.co/YyzjEZCuXF
#book break: Yesterday I read Maurice Maeterlinck's play "The Blind" (1890). I'm so delighted with this play, its story, narration, and, especially, its symbolical meaning. Last scene is outstanding and terrifying, drawing horrendous angst, drawing fear of life and death.

@NotJaxonJaxoff I understand that it's sarcasm, but I do agree that Shibuya Arc is better than Ant's Arc. It's in my top 5-10 fav arcs
