If the CIA is hunting Akihiro to keep the secret from getting out, it sounds like the solution here is just to go to the press and reveal the secret.
I definitely felt my heart break for Akihiro here. Unlike Natsume, I've come to like him. I wish we could have gotten his progression to this point sprinkled out a little bit more gradually, that's my only complaint about his arc.
If Richard doesn't want to kill Akihiro, just tell the CIA he killed him. It's not like they're going to be able to check.
Hey, Akihiro. Go to the Japanese government and tell them that someone claiming to be from the CIA tried to kill you. Like, this is a serious international incident, time to get the politicians involved.
I feel like Richard should have invested in a sniper rifle.
Hey, Mr. Kawasaki, considering you're a Japanese citizen, why are you trusted to work on this top-secret American project in the first place? And why not, you know, go to the media with this top-secret "human-rights-violating" project that you seem so morally opposed to?
Can someone please explain to me how this experiment is beneficial for humanity? All I'm seeing is massive downsides.
Lmao I think the only thing dumber than trying to make unstable super soldiers is torturing them so that they'll hate you.
This seems a little, um... cost-inefficient. I don't know how much work was spent on these guys, but sending them through an experiment like this that just kills them off is like flushing money down the drain. No wonder our economy is in the toilet.
"We never let our emotions interfere with our work!" John yelled. Not helping your case there, John. I feel like there should have been a psych test involved in this, unless the adrenaline is causing emotional issues. Which, I think it probably would lol. It's an adrenaline RUSH for a reason. "Regulate your emotions! And while you're at it, here's another dose of a drug that will make you go nuts!" Good old CIA.
I'm still not sure how increased adrenaline gives you a healing factor.
Assuming, for the moment, that this experiment works, these guys are going to be in for a rough surprise, as we've seen from Akihiro. Adrenaline rushes aren't exactly good. That being said, I don't think the CIA would be the ones to do this sort of thing. This feels much more like an army experiment.
I think it takes a little bit more to join the CIA than just being willing to kill somebody lmao. And just fyi, artificial adrenaline rushes aren't going to be a good thing. They won't have the positive attributes you're assigning them, if anything it will probably make the subject more vulnerable and inevitably kill them. Overabundance of adrenaline has very debilitating effects on people.
One thing, it should probably be "professors" of Harvard, not teachers. Richard seems kind of unnaturally competent for an 18 year old in his first year. It would probably make more sense (and probably not be too big of a plot problem) to make him a grad student, because he seems a little too worldly without much reason for it (considering he's antisocial and basically does nothing).
I'm confused. Between Richard first running into him (heh) in Chapter 2 and now, what's he been doing? Sitting on his hands? It feels off that he hasn't been making attempts on him this whole time. So why now? Curious... And why did he give Akihiro his card!? I'm still trying to figure that out.
