The Legend of Hei 2

The use of "Sasuga" - a Japanese word meaning "praiseworthy" - as the name for a fictional massacre site is deeply disrespectful. It turns a term with positive cultural meaning into a shallow backdrop for violence, ignoring the weight of real historical atrocities.

What makes it worse is how the show tries to act neutral while actually criticizing the victims' anger. Lines like "Was it really these people to do it?" sound philosophical but come across as dismissive. The story pushes for "reconciliation" without honestly dealing with historical guilt - asking victims to just "get over it" rather than honoring their pain.

Instead of thoughtfully engaging with history, this anime simplifies and insults it. Using meaningful language as a prop and preaching empty centrism isn't brave storytelling - it's a failure of respect and empathy.

Shijie is a total badass, seriously! She's all action, zero chatter - got your back no matter what. Looks icy but secretly soft. Her fight scenes? Breathtakingly beautiful with ink-painting effects! Unbeatable powerhouse. How can you not love her? Right? But this kind of movies doesn't really touch me.
