** The first half of Volume 4 shows how Black Manta singlehandedly ruined Arthur's life. When not fighting past the point of exhaustion, Aquaman is lonely, depressed, and wonders how he can possibly move on from his past and find happiness again after all that's happened to him. When the Martian Manhunter talks to him and they commiserate over shared loss, J'onn notes that while Arthur has accepted what happened with Arthur Jr. and Mera, he hasn't faced it and is repressing his feelings. Then Black Manta shows up, asks how the wife and kid are, and blows up Arthur Jr.'s grave. By this point, Aquaman is entirely willing to kill his enemy, who he feels taught him hatred. Then after that battle, Thanatos shows up to torment him further with hallucinations of his loved ones scorning him. Thankfully, after all that trauma Arthur is finally able to heal when he overcomes Thanatos, lets go of his self-hatred, and realizes Mera and Arthur Jr. would forgive him if he forgave himself.

-->'''Ritar:''' Now, Lord Iqula, I will repay you for the humiliation of Tritonis. With this magic weapon that Manta...Uh...Uh...''Fire'', you blasted thing! Maybe if I point it this way and press that...No...

** Unlike later runs where the Atlanteans distrust Aquaman, the people of Poseidonis have almost too much love for their hero and former king, as they're overjoyed to see him and inadvertently worsen his self-esteem with their hero worship. When he returns too late to save them from surface missiles and a teenager named Marin is killed saving him from more, the people praise her for saving Aquaman—and when the cracked dome brings sharks and many citizens are killed or injured, they're just happy Aquaman is there to help them. Meanwhile, Arthur himself feels unworthy of their praise and privately hides how lonely he is.
