Why did tetsuo refuse treatment? He could have bought himself more time to take over the world, since its already established that hes the strongest one and the government has no way of containing him effectively. They already struggles when he was a petty, angsty idiot. With just a little amount of planning he can easily have every he wants.
Because he didn't want to become a lapdog or a shriveled up freak like those kids. Also he was like 3 minutes from mutating anyway
>>282036606Dude wasn't a ball of fire in the brains department even when he was normal. About what you'd expect for a slum-ass teenager.
That's probably how Akira got dissected.
KANEDAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>282036606Never read the mango, but I feel that the story wanted to show him having the power that could give what he wants but that same power is also something he can't control and he's supposed to lose everything to the same power that could give him everything.
>>282036606The line he says in this exact shot shows that the message is more about not wanting to be ter another conforming slave to authority, but it's mostly subtext.
>>282036606The treatment made him that way in the first place. He's an escaped experiment.
>>282036606>Why didWATCH THE FUCKING MOVIE
TETSUOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>282036606The movie suffers from trying to simplify and compress the story way too much. In the manga he had already tried treatment and being in the labs, which he hated. And the mutations also came and went, which is why he thought he could control it.
>>282038839>read the manga.
Reminder of who was best boy
>>282039777I will when retarded publishers stop flipping it.
I thought this was getting redone as a series that adapts the whole manga or some shit
>>282041684It is (or used to be) available online and is a pretty quick read.
>>282041879Yeah, flipped.
>>282039777Read the comic https://archive.org/details/akira-c-003-v-01-full-color-darkhorse/AKIRA%20-%20c001%20%28v01%29%20%5BFull%20Color%5D%20%5BDarkhorse%5D/mode/2up
>>282042300It's the same deal with Blade of the Immortal. I hate it.
