Hayase is the best thing to ever happen to Fushi

Major spoilers ahead so be warned.

I've finished this series and have become convinced that Hayase is the best thing that has ever happened to Fushi. I believe that somehow the black god is keeping her around, because she is the one who has most spurred his growth and will best prepare him to take on the nokkers. I think this explains the glaring plot hole of why Hayase could survive being mauled by a full on bear attack in a world where the smallest scratch or cut can easily kill.

Throughout the series, Fushi meets good people, and makes friends, but ends up losing the people he loves because he is either (1) too weak physically to save them, or (2) too weak mentally to kill to protect them. Hayase's very existence has forced Fushi to confront these weaknesses and attempt to overcome them.

Fushi has had numerous chances to kill Hayase, but has never followed through with it. Ironically, this has led to him getting two of his best forms, Parona and March. Both of them died because he refused to finish Hayase off at the sacrificial temple, and when they were escaping Yanome. Hayase even calls these forms "gifts" to Fushi when they fought in the finals of the island chief tournament.

While I despised her at first, I think I've turned a corner, and have come to believe that she has done him a ton of good (through I'm positive he himself would disagree). I mean, she gave him two great forms AND even offered her own borderline invincible self for his use? They could have gotten a really good thing going:

Step 1: Fushi meets a strong person and becomes good friends with them
Step 2: Hayase kills them so Fushi doesn't have to get his hands dirty
Step 3: Fushi gets a new form (Profit!)

Then after she dies, or he kills her, he gets her borderline cheat-code invincible form for his use, complete with the years of training she put in ("Please kill me and become me. I'm better than anyone you have"), allowing him to better protect those he cares about from the nokkers. If Fushi ends up saving the world, it will be because he had Hayase in his life.

Would there have been absolutely no other way for fushi to gain strength and save the world other than falling victim to hayase's plots? I wouldn't be so sure about that. The same thing applies to anything else fushi could've experienced. He is immortal after all, so he probably would've learned what he needed to learn no matter what happened. Hayase just happened to be the one.

That's a bit morbid. I get the indirect helping Fushi but at the end of day, i am human & this is anime but i am human & i don't want him to gain more trauma just cause he could profit from it.

It’s cruel, but that’s just how it works. Very interesting! Somethinn I noticed lately is that Green and red are counterparts on the chromatic circle. Green being Fushi’s eye color and Hayase’s Red. I personally feel like to your eternity wouldn’t be the same without Hayase and her bloodline. Just like mosquitos in summer. Very annoying and permanent but still important and a part of it.
