youth is suppressed
lights + media oversaturated - consumerism
cops & authority
"don't call me 'old man'!" separation between generations
science unable to control psychic power
constant social instability
corrupt government
religious demonstrators
power reversal created between tetsuo and kaneda
transitionary/the transcendence of adolescence
shared memory & dna imagery
breaking the bonds of physicality by destroying samples of akira- what look like brain stem
destruction of development - buildings, material possessions
human as conduit for 'god power'
personal apocalypse turned external
