Kanda is crazy strong. It took three Exorcists (Lavi, Krory, and Bookman) to take down one of these Akumas with great difficulty. Kanda does it alone in three seconds without breaking a sweat. Lavi legit looks scared by how strong Kanda is. It’s like, “Holy shit, this is a guy I routinely try to piss off; I had no idea he could do that.”
And yet
He’s letting himself be led by Johnny, who barely has a fraction of Kanda’s strength. I can’t even get over how cute this scene is. This is the only person in DGM so far who killed a Noah, and Johnny’s just dragging him around like it’s no big deal. It’s like this massive German shepherd is letting himself be pushed around by a hyperactive puppy because he thinks it’s cute.
Also, this scene:
Johnny is literally shoving that bottle into Kanda’s hands (and his face has gone all dark too lol), and Kanda’s resisting…barely. I mean, he looks pissed, but it wouldn’t be hard for him to snap Johnny’s wrist by accident. It would be like breaking a dry leaf in half to him. It would be nothing.
Guys. Kanda is putting a massive cap on his strength around Johnny to make sure he doesn’t hurt him. And Johnny’s not scared at all. Even though Kanda has a reputation for being nasty, Johnny’s just like, “Oh, Kanda, lol, why should I be scared he’s just a total sap with a grouchy face here let me mother hen the pants off him.” Even when Kanda rips the bottle away from Johnny, you can bet he’s only using an ounce of his actual strength to make sure Johnny isn’t hurt.
