Fair enough.

In that vein, I yet maintain that Akio actually got a significant upgrade when he died for realsies. He's a whole person now as opposed to being a crippled sort of... rage ghost, I guess is what I want to say? Really, when he was at Ohtori Akio was simply a more robust version of Mikage, who barely existed. Usually becoming a demon would be a step down if for no other reason than being a demon builds a certain kind of damage into you, but in Akio's case Surtur put a new roof on, storm doors and windows, replaced the siding, and threw in a whole new kitchen just as a bonus, and all Akio got as a downside was some faulty wiring, which he had anyway.
