This is just my opinion, take with a gram of salt: With your guys’ theory, Shonen bat being a temporary stop in life in order to make yourself a victim that society would deem acceptable, it somewhat reminds me of suicide, without the permanent death part. I say this from my own personal experience, as I was suicidal not too long ago. I was in a place where most of my friends were turning on me, because I accidentally spread a rumor about someone tangentially connected to the friend group I was apart of. Being how young I am, I’m really not good at communicating at all, but I tried my best. After several unsuccessful attempts in a row to communicate my plights to my then friends, from sitting down and talking, expressing my emotions through writing, etc. , It all capped off with a panic attack, because I mentally didn’t know what to do. It ended with me falling for the gaslighting, and falsely admitting that I purposely spread the rumor, all in an attempt to clear everything. Of course it didn’t, if anything it was the nail in the coffin. From there I really didn’t know what to do, back to being friendless, I became suicidal. And, to me, at that time, the idea of suicide was one of escape. I wouldn’t fantasize about the act itself, as much as think about the effect it would have on the people who I have perceived to have abandoned me. Of course I didn’t do it, because I am still here, but after watching this, I wonder if I would’ve done it if I got the effects, without the long term permanent death part. I.e. Shonen bat. And it makes me wonder what these characters would’ve done, if the idea of Shonen bat didn’t exist within the fictional ethosphere of this show. I think the problem of wanting an escape that is deemed acceptable by society’s view is compounded with the nature of the setting this show takes place in, pre 2004 Japan. A place and period of time that has a very stigmatized view on mental health issues, with an above average suicide rate. In fact, suicide in Japan reached an all time high between the periods of 1998 and 2005, higher than all of the 1st world countries at the time.
