    I really like how you emphasize the important differences between metamorphosis (rejecting the old self) and duality (embracing the "weak" aspects as part of the whole). That distinction does feels crucial, and you do a good job explaining these topics. Also, the brief Persona comparison really works, I think!

    misc notes:
    - In Japanese folklore, the butterfly can also represent a person’s soul. For example, in stories like "The White Butterfly" and "The Dream of Akinosuke", it’s used to show the beauty in someone’s soul, very fitting for Smile and Koizumi.

    - I do realize that connecting the whole dualism thing to the butterfly is kind of a reach. You could also say that the duality isn’t shown by the butterfly, but by the crescent moon on Smile’s shirt.
    - The scene where Smile ‘succumbs’ into being a robot, actually has a completely different meaning in the manga. There, he remembers his childhood w/Peco as a source of strength to enter the state of flow, as he finally pushes himself to win. The scene actually has a (sort of) positive connotation for Smile unlike the anime. So my explanation doesn’t make any sense if you only look at the manga (I think).
