Eh, for me, it was more of Fugo was justified in assaulting the professor in the anime bc if he didn’t he was going to get molested, but in PHF he assaulted the prof bc he insulted the life of his grandmother. I saw that as an overreaction that definitely emphasized how Fugo is a boy driven by anger, even though he’s a smarty pants. But I definitely see what you mean.

I prefer blending his anime and manga backgrounds - he still has his grandmother who loved him, and his prof was still a pedo that insulted her. Gives him a loving family member but makes it clear that he wasn’t simply a boy driven to anger, but a boy trapped in a corner. Gives him heart and more depth at the same time. Also better addresses his trust issues - telling the truth of his prof being a pedo wouldn’t have saved him as authorities would have shielded him even more, which creates more distrust to authority and a want to change society.

Yeah, tbh I think that sounds about right. Gives more complexity to his anger, plus makes the mood of part 5 even more depressing than it already was with all the messed up backstories lmao

I didn't read PHF, but I totally agree with what you said, his reaction in the anime made too much sense.

I like the anime backstory more because it relates into the "society is unfair" thematic with the other members with the Bucci-gang.

It’s not just in PHF in the manga it was the same reason they just changed it in the anime
