What?
It was made clear weeks ago that Kouta couldn't eat anymore (I guess it's an assumption that he couldn't. But I much preferred the hinting at that Kouta couldn't eat human food, rather than just out and out telling the audience he can't).

He wouldn't poof out of existence, did you pay attention to the illusion? It blatantly told us that, regardless of how much Kouta would do, if he transformed into a monster, he'd be killed like Hase.
The point of the illusion was pretty clearly "Turn your back on them before they turn against you."
