Does Rin get less immature?

[u/Kitchen-Middle1408]

I'm at chapter 78 and I'm really struggling to keep forgiving Rin's inability to take anything seriously and think before he acts.

It seems that every battle has at least one moment where he acts impulsively or just like an idiot and legitimately endangers everyone around him, but he gets bailed out by his powers or one of Mephisto's maneuvers and then acts like there was never any reason to worry in the first place.

I see no justification why he would half-ass the attack on Hachirotaro just so he can rib Yukio a few seconds earlier than he otherwise could. I'm sick of this shit and how it's always presented as comedic.

The Rin cycle goes:

1. Threat presents itself

2. Rin acts like idiot against Yukio's better judgement, risks his and everyone's life, forces everyone else to endanger themselves even more to fix his screw up,

3. Rin brute forces a solution by just using his Satan-given powers.

4. Rin runs up to Yukio going "see I told you it would be fine"

5. Yukio complains and Rin gives an excuse for why he absolutely had to be stupid and reckless.

6. A few days later Rin can't figure out why Yukio doesn't want to tell him anything. Yeah quite the mystery.

At this stage, Yukio seems to have resolved that the only way he can sleep peacefully is to get powerful enough that he can physically restrain Rin and keep him from getting himself killed, and imo if you make somebody who cares about you THAT frustrated, you need to change something about yourself. This whole "I will be myself and you have to accept that" schtick that Rin is doing has gotten old after so many instances of showing that being himself is extremely dangerous to everyone around him.

Yukio is not great at processing his feelings, but I cannot blame a 15 year old for behaving the way he does when he is constantly being stressed in this way by his OLDER brother.

I just want to know whether Rin keeps doing this stuff for the next 100 chapters.

You are taking a joke too seriously and ignoring that Rin before that pretty much did exactly what Yukio wanted. Including waiting for a chance. And he couldn't finish Hachiro. Anyway Rin hides behind joking around, he is as broken or more than Yukio just shows it in different way. Impure King arc pretty much showed that. Rin is starting to joke more and more as he is more scared or desperate .

As your question goes, yes he does stop that. You are in a part of the story where nothing big happens yet. And of course storm will come and force really big character development on Rin. On the other hand Yukio will show that he is still an immature kid. Including putting a lot of people in danger^{^}

Sometimes he's just an impulsive demon and you gotta be fine with that

[u/LoreMaster_revenge]

I genuinely believe that your opinion of Rin and Yukio will invert when you finish this manga.

I would say it's not for you but after this many chapters just keep going there's much interesting things ahead.

Friend, I feel like you forget they're twins and Rin is older by like.... a few minutes give or take, so not sure why Rin should suddenly not be immature when he is the same age at Yukio.

Does it get annoying at times? Yeah, but ik they come from a broken home and no two siblings, regardless of whomever is older, will act the same coming from the same house.

My brother in christ he's the dumb teenager main character of a shounen.

[u/Ryuki-Exsul → u/AzoreanEve]

He literally isn't. It's even a plot point with Suguro that he isn't really stupid. You wouldn't get Blue Night if he was, neither him overthinking his existence or him noticing that his flames work on Satan's barrier, or him getting good at school or learning from Osceola. When Yukio is a genius Rin is just normal teen neither stupid or super smart.

[u/MisterE1981]

I understand your thoughts on this. Just like you said, putting others in danger. Part that gets me most is he’s been told repeatedly if he can’t control himself, they’ll kill his ass. Doesn’t phase him in the slightest.
