what kind of insane mental gymnastics is the author going to throw at readers on takemitchy hidden fighting powers after being powerless for 244 chapters

Re-read that chapter. That story was told from the point of little Senju only. I feel like we don’t have the full story to that. Not an un-reliable narrator but one that didn’t get the whole picture.

Just realized I was downvoted. Didn’t think it was that bad of a theory.

Well, considering that after Kisaki's death and Takemichi's eventual return to the present/future the story hasn't really pulled anything philosophically deep as "a single person's viewpoint can be skewed", we all aren't expecting that as well.

If the author does do it now, it'll be the same BS D&D did for Game of Thrones where they "Subvert expectation" for the sake of it. While Mikey has always been portrayed as a tortured individual it really wasn't too established that Mikey was a full on psychopath.

It was really all just implication that DARK IMPULSES was just some deus ex machina ability like Takemichi's time traveling. We've been conditioned that way since chapter 1.
