Sorry for going in so little on Fumiko I only have sm room n I prioritized others over her ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ She’s most interesting to me outside of her relationship to Denji

No need to apologize for anything in that thread because it is beautiful and I will be responding in a bit but yeah what really made her character for me was the reveal of her powers- how she literally objectifies her own life and body for use by others
& how she has gained power in the (male dominated) hierarchy of PS through this bodily provision. She is valued for what her body can seemingly endlessly provide, how it can empower others through its use.
Her view on denji, the specific ways she assaults him and sees his body… I wouldn’t call it a trauma reaction since Fumiko doesn’t read traumatized but it’s definitely a reflection and projection of how she sees herself onto him.
random panel I found that reads so differently now… fumiko is jealous of the recognition and respect denji’s body gives him without needing to specifically curry that and argue himself as valuable to others. How that process is painless for him, in comparison to how painful losing organs must be.
Actually wait scratch that- if fumiko’s power works such that a new fumiko clone is produced when one is dying, then she- this fumiko- has never actually experienced the pain of the sacrifice. It’s always been someone else for her.

She’s just Bits, so he is as well.
