"You could've done anything other than fucking lure me here with my dead brother's CORPSE!" Kou snaps, struggling against the writhing tentacles wrapping around him. "You could have handed it over the moment I entered!"
He kicks and punches and slashes with his claws, roaring with anger. Like fuck is he going to let this maniac hold him hostage with his freaky tentacles, using all his strength to push himself forwards, eyes blazing red through the lenses of his Metaverse mask. He reaches out, puts his foot forward, light glinting off his gauntlets-
-and then he's being swept away, sent flying, unbalanced as he's launched into the air. He tries to reorient himself, twisting around- but it's no use. The Fafnir Maruki threw him at roars, gearing itself up for an attack.
Gigantomachia!
Shit.
He tries to shield himself, but it's little use, the attack hitting him dead-on. He cries out as he feels something crack inside of him, his head slamming against the ground and sending waves of pain through his body. For a moment, he's stunned, groaning as he tastes blood in the back of his throat, but he forces himself upright again regardless, snarling as he calls upon Palnatoke.
After the empowering aura of a Concentration washes over him, he eyes all the Shadows that are starting to surround him, the way Maruki stares down at him like he's some unruly child misbehaving.
As if that asshole isn't ready to ruin lives for the sake of his 'perfect reality'. As if it wasn't him who spat on Goro's grave, on Kou's grief.

It pisses Kou the fuck off.
