exactly. and just imagine how cool it would have been if we had known about this flashback way back during the SS arc or even later but back then would have been best. then sasakibe although apparently weak, would at least have had a character trait and an underlying badassness to him. instead he was totally flat and boring and when he died I didn't even know his name. I know his name postmortem... that only works in stories where a character dies and then we see their life and how it led up to that point like in American Beauty. But the difference is that sasakibe's life that we saw wasn't interesting and the whole pride issue feels like a total retcon. it's typical of kubo not planning anything out and as usual it hurts the overall story no matter how good this particular chapter is
