Some Yugi Twins Thoughts
To be honest this isn't really anything ahaha. Just me writing out my thoughts so I can properly organize and structure them(And it still ended up being majorly disorganised whoops)
Alright, so the latest bout of chapters have let us know that Yugi mom became both abusive and lowkey crazy(Copious amounts of religious items left strewn about the house in 130, and Amane's own words as well) While on the other hand the dad was confirmed to have checked out on them completely(Also interesting considering the newspaper clippings talked about 4 people dying in the house)
Okay, so the Yugi family is in shambles, and that's not even taking into account the messy, complicated relationship between Amane and Tsukasa-Where I believe miscommunication and a lack of understanding of the other is the main crux of the problem.
But has their relationship always been so tense?
Amane has always believed that something was off with Tsukasa since day 1 of him returning from his 6 month disappearance
This was the moment the seed of doubt was sowed in his mind. However, while Amane was left questioning and wondering who the person that returned that night really was, he never did reach a solid answer, not for a lot more years at least. And it seems that doubt hasn't impacted the way he acts with Tsukasa....yet.
I do honestly find it sweet and a bit tragic that considering how short their lives ended up being, for the majority of that time they honestly seemed to... Get along very well. It's interesting to think about, considering how much of their present-day dynamic is defined by how complicated their feelings towards one another are.
I mean, just look at them! 🥹 We now know that their home situation... Wasn't the best. But it's nice to know they at least had each other.
Obviously, it's hard to glean the full scope of their situation from just a handful of panels and images, but everything we have been shown about them from that in-between time after Tsukasa's return and before Kamome Academy does portray them as getting along well.
And there it is
Kamome Academy
Those brief flashes of images highlight them being normal brothers, going all the way up to their orientation day for middle school.
That flashback of them during orientation shows Tsukasa as carefree; Amane as awkward, but they look comfortable with each other.
And yet...
To put some things into perspective: The Japanese academic school year starts in April. So we can assume their orientation was either then or in March, and we all know the school festival was in September
5 months.
5 months was all it took for their relationship to suddenly go from this
To this
Isn't that strange? Isn't that odd? 12 years of their life they seem to be caring and loving towards one another but that dynamic just drastically shifts.
And when does it shift?
When they start attending Kamome Academy
Kamome Academy. Resident hot-spot for supernatural phenomena.
1968 Amane seems to think that his brother is not his brother, that the Tsukasa he's known the past 8 years is not Tsukasa. He's reached his conclusion and wants to fix the clock in an attempt to travel back in time and save his 'real' brother.
This is the driving force behind his reasons for time travel; something Hanako had ended up forgetting due to blocked memories
Leading to the discrepancy between 12 year old Amane already being firm that Tsukasa is a 'fake' while Hanako only reaches that conclusion much much later
But why? What led to 12 year old Amane suddenly throwing his full weight into the belief that Tsukasa has been a fake all along?
Could be anything, honestly! Possibilities are endless.
I'm not saying Amane and Tsukasa's dynamic was all sunshine and rainbows during their early years, I'm sure there were unresolved issues that continued to fester, but the wedge between them seemed to only take a cavernous divide once they enrolled at Kamome Academy, which does lead me to believe that something supernatural played its hand in the deterioration of their relationship and Amane's switch-up.
We do know the flow of time does become unstable around the time of the school festival... Did Amane catch a glimpse of something that spurred him on to fix that big clock and time travel? Maybe. Maybe not.
And thinking about 1969... We know absolutely nothing about their relation towards one another then. Though I think it's safe to say their relationship just further deteriorated as time went on all the way up to the murder.
Okay now some quick thoughts on Amane and his whole perception of the 'Fake Tsukasa' stuff and also just kinda on Amane himself:
Amane's resolve is very strong; but his beliefs are incredibly shaky.
Tsukasa even calls the latter out on him twice
Now of course, we shouldn't always take a characters word on another character as fact; TBHK has already proven that one's beliefs are not reality, and the central theme with the Yugi twins are both having a fundamental lack of understanding of the other.
However! Tsukasa is spot on about Amane's indecisiveness and contradictory nature.
When Tsukasa asks him this he ignores the question, choosing not to answer and instead go back to work. He's being avoidant of the topic and his feelings
Despite Amane declaring Tsukasa a 'fake' like only seconds prior he still immediately goes into a protective stance once Kako threatens him.
I don't think he's absolutely confident about Tsukasa being a fake. Deep down, there's a part of him buried beneath everything that knows there's no fake and real Tsukasa. Tsukasa is Tsukasa. He just doesn't accept it; latching onto the idea that his 'real' brother is gone and this one's an imposter.
We can't take anything Amane says at face value. He tends to either mask his true feelings or tries to desperately convince himself of something he doesn't truly believe deep down(Like him trying to convince himself that Yashiro's death wouldn't affect him early on in the manga and that he doesn't gaf despite us all knowing that's bullshit LMAO)
He's extremely poor at processing and coping with his emotions, which results in him being extremely avoidant of them.
But as I said before, he harbours a very strong resolve. Emotions he can't deal with but action he can take. 1968 Amane does everything in his power to fix something out of his control, going back in time all in the hopes of 'saving Tsukasa'
Current day Hanako's feelings on Tsukasa are extremely complicated but again, he's adamant on saving him and will do everything in his power to do so.
He may have given up on himself, won't fight for himself but he will fight tooth and nail for others.
He disregards his own emotions because he's incapable of confronting them, choosing to instead laser-focus on the steps he needs to take to achieve his end goal as well as the end goal itself. Throwing himself into whatever work needs to be put in towards it. And his ignorance and avoidance of his own feelings ends up harming both himself and the people around him.
Anyway can't wait for the moment he accepts that Tsukasa is Tsukasa oooh that'll be fun to seeeee
I swear I'm forgetting something but you know what they sayyyy if you forget it in the first place then it obviously wasn't that important.
Hm...
Anyway. Questions, questions, questions! Aidairo loves to give us an answer to like one thing that proceeds to open five new things to explore in the wake of it. I am very glad we're getting ample amounts of Yugi lore this arc and can't wait to see the direction they take with it!
Again, all of this was written in good fun and Is purely speculation plus my own personal interpretation of events.
Excuse any grammatical mistakes I don't want to reread this again aha
Has anyone else noticed that kou talks about tsukasa like he's mitsuba's abusive ex or smth?💀
Oh okay!
There's been a lot of discussion about that panel where the mother of the twins hits one of them so I wanted to throw some more coal into the fire pit:
A lot of people say that it would make more sense for her to attack Tsukasa since he's "the fake" BUT I would like to argue that the fear of the monster that has overtaken her son might stop her from going after Tsukasa himself and instead make her let out her anger and fear on the only person left: Amane.
Not that I am conviced of this theory or anything. I'm still buffering. But I do think that it's worth mentioning.
This was a feel good chapter and I don't mean that in a bad way. Things have finally started to look up! (Or have they?) But who cares! We have alive!teenage! Amane here! And presumably we'll soon meet toddler! Amane and Tsukasa. That alone is enough to cheer me up.
I was genuinely upset about the chapter but reading other people's opinions has successfully distracted me.
"I hate Amane, how could he!"
Yeah, how could he? And Nene, too. And Kou!
Why on earth is Amane the ONLY ONE who is somehow personally responsible for his actions while he is possessed????
Guys, what the fuck.
We have no indication so far what so ever that he is in any way more responsible than Kou or Nene. If he turns out to be then, of course, complain away, but right now it's like a whiplash.
How can the two sentences "poor Nene, she was forced to murder all her friends, how horrifying. Amane is horrible I hope he dies" even be written at the same time????
I haven't seen anyone say this (though I'm not talking with many people beyond comments on art in fairness) but I'm glad you are defending him here because you're absolutely right! Yes of course he's terrifying because the well demon that's taken over him is terrifying! He's not HIM at that point. Adult amane was a lovely school teacher who cared about his students and did cute magic tricks to cheer up his colleagues and the kids he worked with - he wasn't a homicidal monster - the well demon is.
Honestly I will defend him on that with everything in me. None of them asked for this. None of them wanted it. He was a good man who was taken over by a literal monster and it's heartbreaking as much as it is scary.

Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun Chapter 120 - Yugi Amane, Minamoto Kou & the Red House
This is my first time making this type of thread, so I hope you will bear with me ^^ I'll talk about the important bits.
Yugi Amane
Chapter 120 explains Yugi Amane's situation in the new present. Even though Nene tried denying it, Yugi Amane was incapable of finding happiness, even if he got to live a little longer. It confirmed he died in his late 20s, and that his soul is but a prisoner to the Red House, forced to obey its orders.
That he's been killing multiple people without him even realizing, as he is unable to defy the House...
And ultimately revealing that, while possessed, Amane had killed both Kou and Sousuke in the aftermath of chapter 118. The Kou we saw in chapters 119 and 120 is nothing but his now trapped soul.
As Kou explains everything, we come to realize the following: It's not just Yugi Amane who is a prisoner of the House, but Tsukasa, their parents and the souls who warned Mitsuba as well. That they're all unfortunate victims that were eaten alive by the House and forced into servitude.
Minamoto Kou
Kou is not immune from the Red House's possession- He is now one of its servants, just like Amane and the other people killed. Just like Amane who forcefully dragged Kou and Nene to the well through the black door, so did Kou lure Nene through the same door.
Finally possessed by the House, he tries to drag Nene down the well, to make her a victim just like the others.
It is then when Teru comes to rescue Nene, but not realizing that the Kou he sees is nothing but his soul, he accidentally exorcises him while snapping him out of the possession.
It is important to note that Kou didn't feel any sort of bitterness towards Amane killing him or towards Teru exorcising him.
After Amane killed him, he just lamented his fate.
Not only did he lament his fate, but also asked Nene to change the world back to how it was. Not only because he and Mitsuba are long dead, but because he now knows how truly messed up the new present is. How no one is truly "happy" here. How it goes against his motivation, which is to bring everyone actual happiness.
That's why he brought Nene to Amane in chapter 119. To make her see how this world actually looks like, to make her want to go back. To make her see that even if Amane lived longer, he was way more miserable than he ever was in the original timeline.
When his big brother exorcised him, he only felt glad. Glad that he couldn't harm Nene, and glad that he doesn't have to suffer the same fate as Amane. Glad that he hasn't succeeded in killing anyone against his will.
Even while disappearing right before her eyes, Kou tries to comfort her. If she succeeds in rewinding the world, they will be able to meet again.
He even compares this new world to a "bad dream", contrasting himself from chapter 118, who considered the old world to be the "dream", then not knowing how truly wicked the new present is.
His last words confirm that Mitsuba has died together with him.
The Well
Teru, shocked by the events, immediately heads over to the well and looks inside.
He falls limp, only supported by the well, in total disbelief. Due to the implications throughout chapter 120, it is safe to assume that in the well lies the corpses of all the Red House's victims, including Kou and Sousuke.
This is further evidenced by Akane's reaction, who is repulsed by whatever is seen inside.
It is then when Akane concludes that this timeline is not stable, as he was tasked to check. The well is enough evidence to back up how twisted the world is.
Conclusions
I'm not sure whether we will see the contents of the well. We see the series through Nene's eyes, and Nene being stopped from seeing what's inside the well meant the readers are stopped from seeing aswell. The implications are evident enough to prove that within it lie numerous corpses, including Kou and Sousuke's.
Akane ended the chapter with a resolution to change the world back to how it was, but they still aren't aware of when to go and what to change. So they will stay within the Red House for the next few chapters for sure.
I'm not sure if the Red House will let them leave. All 4 living humans are all right next to the well where the Red House supposedly eats them alive. It's too good of an opportunity for it not to ambush them in the next chapter.
Teru and Nene, but especially Teru, will 100% go some under serious character development. Not only does Teru exorcising Kou somewhat parallel Amane killing Tsukasa in the original timeline, but Teru sacrificed his entire childhood to protect Kou, only for it to end like this in the New Present. Truly tragic.
Amane reacted to Yashiro calling Hanako for help. It may be that in the future chapters, Amane will get his memories from the original timeline and help Nene and the others find out what to change. Though I have a feeling, given that he's susceptible to being possessed by the House, that he will take himself down along with the House in order to let them leave. Although again, this is just a random prediction of mine...
This is the first time Nene's hairclip slips from her hair. The shape of her hairclips symbolize good luck, and it was truly good luck. If it weren't for her hairclip falling off, Aoi wouldn't have found her and Teru wouldn't have saved her in time. Albeit this can be also interpreted as limited good luck, as it slipping off would mean that Nene won't benefit from the same luck again.
This was truly the most heartwrenching chapter in the series, but also one of the best written in my opinion, being a huge pay-off for the other chapters of the Alteration arc. However, I have a feeling we're only going downhill from here.
Kou was likely already doomed from chapter 116, when he was first possessed by little Tsukasa. Because he was then sent to the Red House with an envelope that had nothing inside and with circumstances he himself doesn't remember, and as per Kou's words in chapter 120, the Red House uses the souls it captured to bring new victims from the Near Shore. He was fated to die the moment he came into contact with Tsukasa. Mitsuba could've escaped, but he wanted to save Kou and died together with him instead.
I hope you enjoyed my post!
I really enjoyed the flashbacks from Tsuchigomori. Amane is very sweet in his memories and I like how Nene was cheered up by something Amane taught Tsuchigomori. I'm also curious how Amane ended up in the state he currently is in. Was he still in control of himself when he spread the rumours of Tsukasa? At what point did he die in that house?
Amane from Tsuchigomori's pov.. he really is still that kid.
New chapter, new horrors.
Teru is really angry at Amane. I remember writing a whole post how blaming Amane (who is another victim of the house and - as far as we know - innocent in the same way Kou was innocent even though he tried to kill Nene) is not fair but I suppose it's a visceral reaction that makes sense in the situation he is in. However I do hope he won't carry that grudge unless we get some confirmation that Amane caused this situation purposefully.
That aside, did I miss something obvious?
Why is nobody talking about the fact that Amane said: "Outside gods have no power here."?
We've been all speculating about whether there are really multiple gods involved, so I've expected the theorists to go crazy, but I haven't seen a single post about it.
Has it been stated before and I missed it?
I really hope we'll see Amane and Nene interact more before they destroy the new timeline. And of course, I can't wait to meet presumably Tsukasa.

about that new chapter...
Well! It was a ride. I've been reading a lot of other posts about this chapter and I don't think there's much left to say at this point... except the fact that some of these reactions are just confusing to me. For example: People insisting that Teru must really hate Hanako now or that Teru killing Kou is nothing like Amane killing Tsukasa.
Teru hating Amane after Kou's death would be misplaced anger. As far he knows Amane has been controlled by the red house, he isn't in any way more responsible for his actions than Kou was when he tried to kill Nene! And certainly nobody is blaming him for his actions! As they shouldn't!
About the second part of that sentence; is Teru killing Kou similar to Amane killing Tsukasa? We don't know. We have no clue what happened back there, so arguing either way doesn't make sense to me. "But Kou was already dead unlike Tsukasa!".
Actually Amane might have been under the impression that Tsukasa was dead, too? I believe Tsukasa is Tsukasa but there's no true proof for that. It might be the well god pretending to be Tsukasa, maybe even believing himself to be Tsukasa. There's so many ways this could go and aidairo is sure to surprise (horrify) us adequately.
Leaving aside all of that; I do hope that "Hanako" does have a hand somewhere in this. One of the things I like about him that unlike normal MC he doesn't get dragged into shit, he actively causes it. Not being passive is one of his entertaining points.
Teacher!Amane seems oblivous to what is happening and Tentacle!Amane doesn't act like Hanako either (killing Kou and Mitsuba and then almost killing Nene is certainly not something he'd do) BUT he did snap out of it for a second when Nene called Hanako-kun for help which is not something Teacher!Amane should react to.
So.
Time to wait for the next chapter! I hope we learn something about Amane.
Is that enough for you, dear?
I think so
It's cute how Nene thought randomly hugging Amane would distract him enough that they could catch him (and it worked!). Hahaha. I have to say I've been enjoying seeing Amane-sensei. But he seems a lot more unhinged than Hanako, so Nene will have her hopes dashed that he led a happy, fulfilling life. I like that this is her priority, regardless of her own feelings.
I thought it very interesting that he kept on repeating how everyone would be happy! That's essentially what Tsukasa said in the red house, too.
What has been done to you Amane? Or what have you done?
Oh and that Kou is fake.
He has to be. He was scarier than Amane. wwww
