What's wrong, my little puppy?
---
Based on a dream I had the other night
Akihiro goes through a PT-esque time loop in an abandoned house in Japan. As the loop progresses, he jumps back in time; the house was Logan and Itsu's. He despairs over his fate and his mother's and vows to keep fighting through time and fate to save her.
Tell more about vengeful Spirit Akihiro?
So, first of all, I'm sorry about taking so long to answer this, but I wanted to do it justice (and then I forgot about it for a while). It's about time for my yearly onryō! Daken posting, anyway, so better late than never, right?
So, generally speaking, an onryō is a powerful spirit of a person who was mistreated during life and died violently. They're usually women, but between it not being gender exclusive and the fact that Daken has been through hell in life and has definitely died violent deaths (all the times he's "died" in the comics were... Not gentle), I definitely feel that he would qualify. Onryō are linked closely to vengeance, and their spirits are powerful enough to affect the physical world--haunting, hurting, and even killing people.
So, the general idea is that after his death (any of them, but I'm partial to the drowning one), his spirit follows Logan around and makes his life hell. In this particular image, he's haunting the school itself, because we know that he has a proclivity for psychologically tormenting Logan, and haunting and harming the students would definitely do the trick.
The thing I like about this particular type of spirit is that they're given a power and a way to enact vengeance in death that, in a lot of cases, the person isn't able to in life. In Daken's case, he had opportunities to wreak vengeance on Logan in life, but always ends up on the receiving end of a beating and Logan never really changes after. I feel like Daken having the opportunity to get his revenge without Logan being able to really do anything about it or half-ass apologies would be really cathartic to read.
@paigeartsaround came up with a House of 1000 Corpses-inspired AU and i have feelings.
Another panel redraw as a belated birthday present to myself and a little something for @gealach-in-a-misty-world since it's her birthday today :3
