i can't
i feel strongly about this
here me out: what if celestia manipulated ishimaru to kill hifumi instead
i always felt ishimaru's arc is such a waste in him coping with grief and while his un-timely death adds to this sense of tragedy in how he never fully resolves his grief, it still feels very much like a disrespctful end to his character to die at the hands of ... hifumi who just being a simp
not to mention just gives hifumi an even more sour note to end off at, while celestia looks stupid for entrusting hifumi of all people. sure maybe ironic since hifumi and celestia def are an unlikely duo, but its really imbalanced and not worth it
so my take is celestia uses a very emotionally vulnerable ishimaru in her murder plan. someone like hifumi in her eyes would be worthless so she believes that will be an easy first target to entrust ishimaru with. it adds to ishimaru's downward spiral, being forced to kill for whatever reason celestia tells him, making it ironic that such a lawful good character can be broken by death/the killing game to commit a murder. it also adds to celestia's supposed manipulation ability, being particularly henious of her to use ishimaru for her own gain. but that is totally in line with celestia's character and only adds to her being someone you love to hate (or hate to hate, whatever floats your boat lol). not to mention, gives me one less reason to hate hifumi
