I've always hated the headcannons that Tome didn't love Ogata or that she would have ignored Ogata if he didn't look like Hanazawa, and now I have proof to back up why I hate them. I think the problem wasn't that she was completely neglectful of Ogata, but instead that she was so focused on his future and his success that she neglected who he was in the present.

(Moreover, the guilt he feels from killing her makes him not able to rationalize her fully– hence the lullaby "The way out is joyous, but the way home is frightful." But by commanding the seventh, he can not only get her attention/make her proud but prove that who he was presently was worthy of love.)

Yuusaku loved Ogata too, but when he projects this ideal future version of Ogata onto him, Ogata kills him.

All this calls into question his weird love of being demeaned and treated as less than as a means to prove his current self's worth, if that makes sense. Like he is this fuck up, low class, unloved child of a geisha and he wants to be loved as such almost?

Which is why his ending with Yuusaku hits as hard as it does because it affirms his innate self-worth, that he was inherently always worthy of love as he was. (That's why Asirpa awakened his guilt over killing Yuusaku because she also loved him for who he was. It's like he says, "Asirpa shone a light on me and now I can die.")

We need to take a moment to appreciate the details of this incredible scene.

So Ogata looks surprised and terrified when Usami grabs his arm.

Usami flips him and he lands on his back.

He rolls over on his side and moans.

You'd think he's moaning in pain, but he's not.

He's intentionally doing it to distract Usami from the fact that he's taking the cartridge into his mouth.

See the cartridge?

In the next panel he has the cartridge inside his mouth already and begins crawling towards his rifle.

He continues to moan, which prompts Usami to stand there and gloat at his handiwork.

Usami is clearly enjoying seeing him like this, saying " What's the matter?! Get up!"

Ogata crawls right up to his rifle.

He starts to slide the cartridge out of his mouth, but as you can see from the flat end, the cartridge is backwards.

Ogata KNOWS Usami is a psychopath and gets turned on by torturing his victims.

By moaning and crawling pathetically towards his rifle, he gave Usami an erection.

Usami is really getting off to this and wants more.

He takes a pack of cartridges and throws it on the ground in front of Ogata, so he can prolong this delicious pathetic display.

He starts to really get into it and degrade and verbally abuse Ogata, calling him "son of a whore".

This gives Ogata the time to use his tongue to turn the cartridge around so that it's facing the right direction to be loaded into the gun.

Ogata gets the cartridge into the right position and slides it in.

Having gotten past the foreplay, Usami take the bayonet and goes for....penetration.

It's too late.

Ogata may be terrible at hand-hand combat but he's a quick thinker. The moment he was flipped over on the ground, he wasted no time and put his plan into action.

Ogata KNOWS Usami.

He intentionally put on a display that he knows will appeal to Usami to buy time and give himself the upper hand.

Ogata is so damn awesome.
