So, if Tsuchigomori wanted to change someone's future, he can do that once. But he chooses not to, because that would get him erased.
He feels bad for Amane, because his future was changed and beacuse of that he died and became No.7.
He can change Amane's future and make it go back to how it was supposed to be. But he chooses not to, because that would get him erased.
In other words:
His life (which lasted for I dont know how many centuries) > The grief he feels for Amane.
And that's completely fine. It's his life and he can choose whatever he wants to do with it. Whether to sacrufice it for someone else or not. It's all back to him to decide.
After all, sacrificing your life for someone else, isn't that easy. You have to let go of everything and have the courage needed to do that.
Which made me think of this:
Who was so ready to let go of everything and had the courage to sacrifice his life for Amane's happiness, even though he was just 4, before getting to see all the things that life can offer him?
Hmmโฆ Yes. It's him.
Tsukasa Yugi.
He was willing to do that with a smile on his face.
I must respect such an amazing little brother.
Cool... he is talking about Tsukasa and himself, right? That's interesting... can't wait to see some aspects of their backstory showing the 2 of them chilling on the roof!
At times I somehow consider the possibility he may be talking about Nene? her being the one to befriend him right after he said on the same roof... I'm not sure if it's only there to say "she is a sweet caring girl" or also "*wink* she is that friend"..... imagine if she was this friend all along...they shared some moments in his past... and there is surely more to come.. maybe this is one of them.. like a hidden memory left in the back of his head like the other ones?
His deal with Nene is kinda confusing to meโฆ he meets her.. forgets about her.. then meets her againโฆ ???
Like...
This thing is supposedly their first meeting... what is left in his memory about it is...
This thing? and it feels like it's not the specific memory itself that he recalls .. more like... the 'feeling' of it. so who came up with the magical charm fisrt?
So far from what we know, this is what he have next... he went all like "who are you?" These are the things we have so far... I think it's safer to distinguish between Amane & Hanako while talking about this... because of this thingy...
Let's pay attention to it so we can stay on the safe side. Assuming a loss of memories happens in the progseess or something like that... since we have this clock thingy & he doesn't remember much about it from his past... I can go for 3 things regarding that case really... first: it's been more than 50 years it's normal to forget stuff about the past. second: it's due to what he talked about regarding how much of you remains in your supernatural form. third: it's due to the clock keepers turning back time so he forgot some aspects about it. I could also add a little 4th one... assuming Tsukasa might have a hand in that thing? Uh... that being said... I can really answer to any memory loss or whatever on Hanako's side with 1- it's what he explained to Nene. 2- some supernatural power might be included. 3- too much time had passed since that thing happened, it's natural to forget stuff.
So, as Amane... he met her when he was like.. 8... then met her again 5 years later... he didn't remember meeting her before.
That's all you noticed... This boy... just thinking this thing could of been at least a key to remind him of that "onee-san" he met with similar fat legs before... it seems that totally slipped his mind. I don't really look much into the 'outfit change'. I can meet someone 5 years after meeting them originally and I will still remember their facial expressions, especially when they look exactly the same as the first time I met them.oh.. there could be that he was still little back then and little kids forget stuff easily... hmm... such a nice "onee-san" won't be that easy to forget to our little boy I assume? we have the warm feeling he had when she wished him luck stuck within him even as Hanako after all. imagine if it's the same case and he got a 'feeling' about these legs and said feeling comes from the memory of meeting "nice onee-san with similar legs" in the festival that's hidden in the back of his mind.
So... this thing happened a few days before his talk with Tsuchigomori... and a few days later he met his end I assume... ? maybe this was the last time he met her??? maybe not???
Anyway, so as Amane 'from what we have so far'... he doesn't really have a good memory 'on regard of remembering people' I have to say.
Hanako on the other hand, it could be 'time' or 'that thing he said' the reason behind forgetting meeting Nene before as Amane. I don't think he showed any clear sigh of remembering her from his past so far.
All that talk brings me to this little guy...
he is so cute >< he has such a sharp memory... He met Nene for the first time in the red house when he was 4... then met her again like... 8 years later... and he is like:
Well, hello there! if that is not you, Nene-chan! How is it going? a sharp contrast with someoneโฆ Tsu was even much younger when he first met herโฆ
Talking about present Tsukasaโฆ
Yup, that's Nene-chan over here aright.
Kind of brings me to last chapter really... uh... so... this thing...
...he wondered about back in No.6's case... While I assume he knows that No.6 is the one to destroy Sumire... thinking of a little thought on having thigs the other way around for a sec... "Oh! Nene-chan managed to do it! She really destroyed a yorishiro in a human form (like me)! She did a really nice work! Wow! That's cool! She deserves a reward!"
No! Not this one!
This one! uh... I really love how Tsukasa just sounds gentle and childish with the whole thing... all you can comment on it is something like... cute... little kitty! or something like that... while the one with Hanako... he looks gentel as well but... I won't lie he was trying to look cool & hot and all. Despite Tsukasa's kiss being a lips one & Hanako's one being a cheek one... Tsukasa's feels like the "simple" one between them...he is a simple little boy, isn't he? adorable!
Nene-chan is really a good assistant who deserves to be rewarded! After I gave her a reward... 'like you did before' let me have her for a sec Amane! This thing is fun to consider for a moment! Ok... back on track... Tsuaksa's sharp memeory!
It's not just the case of Nene-chan he has a sharp memory with, though...We have all the red house stuff, kou and mit stuff, even the thing Hanako doesn't recall at the moment, that being the clock deal... buttt... maybe we should emphasize here on the fact that this little guy is "special" so... maybe it's a bit unfair to compare his sharp memory to Amane's/Hanako's or anyone really. I'm not ignoring the fact that this boy does have a sharp memory normally, but being 'special' sharpens it even more it seems!
Sooo... where were we? Uh... I was talking about the thing with Nene & Amane meeting in the past and all... so yeah... having how Amane's/Hanako's memory recalling system works, I wouldn't be surprised if he shared lots of memories together with Nene in his past, but said memories are just sleeping in the back of his mind.
So maybe... maybeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... and that's a big one... there is a possibility Nene might be that firend he was referring to. You can call your little brother your friend, but... let's have this thing in mind for a sec.
I'm more of a fan of the "Tsukasa being that friend" thing, naturally. Sooo... I'm just gonna chill and wait for what's to come.
I need to say, this Tsukasa truly is a reliable guy in the meaning of the word.
Since he was 4. First day into being 4!
His older twin brother screams his name for a safety call before his own mother. XD heard its somewhat a twins' thing? not sure!
Two teenagers 10/11 years older than him are in his care. Much like other adults I assume
Let's move into his... 13 y.o self...
When you make a call, he hears it. He is your savior.
Look at him in here. At all ages, he is such a caretaker. These could be enough Another thing is he is a one of a kind babysitter. lol
He can be your life, some matters teacher! Let's not forget!
He is always collected & hardly fazed, especially over what's not worth it, and even in the heat of a moment to clearly get to him, he still keeps his cool. One day Tsukasa one day, and I believe it will be an emotional breakdown.
His emotional intelligence, his psyche is something to be studied.
One needs a stable, sensible, consistent figure in their world. A 'Tsukasa' surely is something.
He keeps his word and promises on top, lives up to them. Isn't scared of showing who he is to the world, even in a literal court.
He keeps a perfect balance of being serious, and not, just the right amount.
Mature enough to be trusted with those.
Oh boy. The face of to say: I can be your Sanctuary.
Okay, for now, these I listed are enough to make one act on instinct... rely on him, anchor themselves to him. He earns the trust. In my book of law. ~ Seriously, I said many things about why I find his Tsukasa-ness unique in other posts, and I fear if I were to get into them this post will stop being what it's intended to be. For this one, these serve getting the point across.
Awww.
Ahh. The figure you are.
Ahh.
Still, a lady can go as such. ~
Hehe ~
I say he is a figure!
And soooo! Adressing the
in the room!
Funny, he is '4th' place. I would choose him, naturally. Also because I believe with him? Things will be real fun. The full true experience!
I'm good, I need neither. ~
This is perfect for me. ~~
Look at how cool he is. When I say unfazed, I mean unfazed. The unmatched. ~
We won't be going survival or normal time mood. Nah. It will be our own adventure, we'll go camping according to our own rules, he'll make the deserted island our playground, even modify it to be more fun because it's lacking as to a good challenge, then we'll leave at our will once we're simple tired of it. ~
I also imagined it happening with any Tsukasa, and oh, each his own pure, unforgettable experience! The chats along the way, the Tsukasa unique moves... those... vary! Ahh!
Little Confessions
____________________________________
1) Hmm... We're getting closer to getting ch 103, and I'm still not able to go back & look at chapter 102, all because of that glorious ending. I still didn't get the courage to make "Ch 102: Random thoughts" yet... Maybe I will be able to make it before ch 103 is out... At least I hope so.
2) I'm not so ready to see Tsukasa back. Isn't that funny? I, the person who kept on wishing to see him back, now don't feel ready to see that happen. This new arc feels extreme to me, first chapter into it, in the very first pages, we got to see living Tsukasa? For real? Some twins' lore? Hanako having some memory issues? Second chapter, living Tsukasa proves to be ahead of things and to be a 'cat' that should be taken seriously (now I see why we weren't supposed to see him before, at least at this age... I'm excited to see the face & actions of Tsukasa from the tanabata festival now. I don't believe he was only a hramless kitty playing katanuki, sorry) Now, following this line of thought, seeing Tsukasa from the past being this capable with things, then... that makes his present self far more 'dangerous'. Especially lately, since present Tsukasa seems to be... extra confident and pleased with how things are going so far. Which makes me wonder... What is he up to? What does he have in mind? He must have a huge plan in motion right now. If his past self is 'dangerous', then he is extra 'dangerous'. And thus, I have mixed feelings about Tsukasa coming back. I look forward to it, but I feel it will be mind-blowing, I'm worried that would be too much for me to handle.
I find it especially kind and generous that Tsukasa 'invited' Nene into his... world this time around a few times. Focusing on this 'tag' thing. How much does it truly mean to him? Is it a casual game he came up with out of the blue, being the usual chaotic & unpredictable creature he is, or is it more than that?
It's no surprise Tsukasa naturally is a game-boy. When it comes to playing tag, I have to say it's a game he grew up on, a part rooted in him that directly goes back into his very childhood.
A part he is fond of, if anything. A part he shared with his most beloved Amane. How pure.
So, the moment I look at this,
I can't really see a mean or controlling guy getting things done according to his terms, enjoying the chaos he is creating for those he chases...
ย ... rather, I see a boy genuinely, childishly, naively thinking you find things as fun as he does. He thinks you're playing 'together'. Everything is so harmless. He also thinks the 'things he wants to show you', just like they are to his liking, they are to you. I basically wonder if the 'stuff' he believes Amane loves aren't exactly that way for Amane, given this. Amane maybe was too sick to complain, and accepted the 'kind attempt' from Tsukasa. Worse, was too sick to even notice they were there. Leaving Tsukasa thinking he is doing something Amane loves.
So, he takes your complaints as... hard to understand as annoyance or lack of investment.
He thinks there is no need to even ask if you 'want to' play tag, it's a fact you do and find it to be a grand time. Just like he does.
He is too simple - minded here, not exactly unaware or absent minded to his surroundings, he thinks he is sharing a fun game of tag with you, a thing so, so, much happy and full of laughter and giggles from his childhood, something that one day used to be a piece of happiness he shared with his most special person. He is playing it with you! Everyone loves a game of tag! Everyone enjoys it way too much, all the way through!
He would just behave as such, from the get go.
He is cheerfully and openly offering a piece of himself, something, if we're honest, Tsukasa rarely does, personally, I want to embrace all the chaos it holds if I could. The chase, the 'gift', everything. I would like to respect it as should. I don't care if it's too childish or annoying or weird, I see its pure intentions, and for me, that's enough. It's the most beautiful thing, I love it. I mean, I think if someone truly sat with him, reasoned with him: listen boy, you need to think this more, he would keep it in mind and react as such. He always does. Even if he messes at times, he still tries. What matters the fact that he actually tries.
Hereโฆ I always thought he might be justโฆ silent as to recharge from the too much he experainced in this short -festival- time, buzzing inside his head. Clear his mind. Emotionally, especially. Silent, andโฆ still. Looking at the vast wide open 'sky'. A serene moment he so much needs.
A song-play, a pastโฆ and a game of tag he hadn't played in 50 years and had an actual participant (who is also the girl he... found similar to him since he was 4 yo, and unlike Amane or Mitsuba seemed to join the game) to enjoy it, the other games with him (later on, even if it had him done. haha). The honor this girl is getting here, no joke.
This little boy who...above all else, still kept the beauty within himself, who... didn't give up a silly game of tag to be 'Tsukasa'. Even after being isolated & locked up in a house, he came back to share this happiness with Amane again, even after being locked in a boundary for 50? years, he comes to share it with Mitsuba and Nene. No matter how he might 'seem' to have changed, his core will always be this little boy.
He is a tired, wounded, lone soul, but a soul that as much as it could, still offers the sweetest in it to the world when it could. I admire that.
How real he is, how human he is. Even when everything around him tries to strip those away from him.
That makes it way too intense for me.
It's the least of my worries to analyze how in the right or wrong according to our terms -that I find unfair to judge him with he is. I could care less. I believe the manga itself says so. It's dull. If I see the vision, I follow its sense. This is vibrant. This is what's fascinating and the core of this.
Haha what a confession! Got a lil bit emotional! Hmm.. won't act surprised, I know myself, the girl who gets carried away with him. Despite trying to 'hold back and keep it short'. And every bit of it is worth it.
Taking a look at past arcs (seriously - for fun). -Hell Of Mirrors
What a strong hand...
Hmm...
Hmm...
....... won't deny it... huh? ...............
-"I will humply do you the favor of replacing you, No.3" How ironic.
Oh... my... Tsukasa you...
... slay!!!
Your hunt. Thanks Tsukasa my dear! You did us all a favor! lol I only look at this bird for comic relief. that's the only thing it's is good for, I may go as far to saying not a single one in the whole jshk fandom cares to even remember it. even in the story itself it feels it was there to just get replaced. that's how much pathetic this bird is.(no offence to real life birds! this bird is the only one I'm talking about)
Mirror: forget it... I'm no match for him... I will just take my leave... I mean... get broken. Life is so unfair.....
Ahhh... even when this thing is just a joke I made a long time ago, it still never fails to make me laugh. Again, thank you for giving me a grand time in this arc, Tsukasa. โก
let me use your words again, dear.
Though, I'm laughing to myself... this pathetic bird actually managed to achieve something in life. He got Relaxed Tsukasa! to make such a cool face because of how annoying and hatable it was. I call it an achievement... imagine how much it would take you to actually piss off calm and relaxed Tsukasa. oooh! that thing is really really really rare.
I simply love everything about this whole thing. Look who is begging and screaming for dear life right now after making fun of others.~ so well-deserved.~ Little thing was enjoying himself watching his sick little hunt game escalate with the poor preys while hiding in the safety of his mirror. Too bad a tiger came into the game and became the hunter and the little bird was forced out of the safety of its terrier, started begging for dear life and became the prey under the mercy of the tiger's sharp claws. Lovely tiger put it in its place, no better way to do it. ~ here we go again, thank you Tsu!!! โก
Did it really say that to Tsukasa? That's too funny. Know your place little thing.
Hmm~ yes.~ Just like this.~
..................... Tsukasa went like: welllll... see... it's simply time to "replace" you. That's exactly what I'm doing. ~
I wonder if little bird regrets saying *his very last words* lol
A broken mirror vs a "to be replaced" bird... which matters more? pfffftttt... we care about a mirror more than we care about it. Yes, Tsu! ~
Ahhh.... still can't get over this little thing... the prince who saved princess Nene from the hell she was in is none other than you!! โก
Oh... Nene-chan... trust me that's not the case at all. He is on your side.~
Such a good boy.~~~
Sooo? This was already the plan since the very start? That's why Mit 2.0 got sent to No.3's boundary specifically. hmm... so... No.3, out of all the other mysteries was the one to be already targeted to get replaced by Mit 2.0 I assume? but like... Mit 2.0 won't ever be able to take down No.3 by himself no matter how long he would stay here... Tsukasa was bound to get the work done himself sooner or later. Also... now that kinda makes sense to me... it's hard for me to believe Tsukasa would go out of his way and do such a thing for nothing, or only because of the claim "No.3 got him angry, never make Tsukasa angry, he is simply ruthless and don't have mercy." that's so wrong to me... Tsukasa is not that type of person. smash someone because he shouted at you or got you angry. something else is at play. I may also take the thing of "Tsukasa taught him a lesson and all"... but it still won't feel enough...
While Tsukasa's ongoing plan is to destroy the 7 yorishiros, No.3's case in here seems to never have been meant to actually do that.
But this I assume? No.3 was only a pawn pre-chosen by you Tsu, huh. cool! also, sure thing Tsukasa can juuuuust appoint a mystery as if it was a little thing. sure thing.
lol, even sakura once Tsukasa was back with mit 2.0 prepared tea for him, a way to show her relief past annoying no.3 is no longer there. maybe he was actually just the worst and was getting on the broadcasting club nerves. while she is there to only change the rumor of No.2, say No.4 is not bad, tell Nene about No.5 (ordered by Tsukasa I assume), supposedly help No.6, want No.1's yorishiro out of the way, and not care much for No.7, No.3 was like: yeah, it's for the best he is no longer here. let's have tea. For real, I imagine she would be angry if Tsukasa didn't take such an opportunity to get rid of No.3's yorishiro right there if that was already their plan. seems they have different plans for it. according to Tsukasa in ch 92... he told her the yorishiro of No.3 is already a "done deal" for them, whatever that meant. Uh... to put it simply, this bird is never wanted or cared for, not even for a little. The fact that a yorishiro is meant to be a mystery's most precious thing gets to me at time and I'm like... this bird? his yorishiro is an actual ceiling....??? what feelings are in there??? also... now that it belongs to mit 2.0... what memories are restored in it?? the bird's (if there is any 'good' ones) or Mit's?
โก
Now I wonder, is that thanks to that mirror in the room we see Tsukasa in at times (maybe it works like a door, Tsukasa touched it while speaking about Mit 2.0, probably hinting Mit 2.0 is 'inside' it, reminds me of the fact No.2 also took Kou and Hanako to a mirror as well) , or to a door that leads to No.3's boudary in the nowhere place... (wonder what that room really is)
Cool reaction... feels special to see your own yorishiro in a boundary that belongs to another mystery, after he 'replaced' it.
What a rare occasion... 2 yorishiros in the same place... right beside each other...
hmm... real mit and mit 2.0 have different scarfs, right... so... the one with Mit 2.0 is actually from Tsukasa? sweet. Also, Tsukasa taking care of Mit 2.0 is something I've grown to like... for some reason.
Hmm... This thing amkes me confused at times, not gonna lie.
Such a nice game. Also, gotta love the nickname "crazy knife" pretty fitting in a funny way.
Hmm... look at the change... though... can we really call it a change? I mean... he gave up on the whole idea and made a deal with Kou and let said deal decide how things would end with him... maybe the change will come someday in the future...? Not to say this but... honestly... his whole 'cool' speech about wanting to have Kou end him only to give up on the whole idea after exchanging a few sentences with Kou feels.... boring... unsatisfying... not interesting at all...? Comparing him to Tsukasa and Sumire... makes things a lot worse... Tsukasa wanted to be killed by Amane and it happened and he embraced it happily, and now he is asking for it again it seems. Sumire as well, she never asked to be saved from being sacrificed and had that happening to her with a smile on her face then had No.6 finish things with her while she was all happy. Now, between those 2 who live to their words no matter what and Mit 2.0 who changes his mind every 5 minutes... yeah..... not too cool.....
Your plan is achieved, chief. Good job. Thanks for all your hard work. โก You can enjoy a cup of tea now while talking about what happened during the time the plan took place. ^^
Wooh! Is that you, Tsukasa? What are you gonna do?
o_o aren't these things supposed to be some kind of supernaturals too? oh my, Tsu... they deserve this though...
Uh... what matters more really is.... these things seems to me like...metal things? uh... I have to say... wow...?! how sharp is his... HAND?! he cut them perfectly like that with his hand?! in a flash... how fast...
......................... wow.............................................
What are you, Tsu? a bullet?
So this thing... really makes it feel to me Tsukasa was like: Ok, I got Mitsuba and Nene-chan out of danger... well.. well.. to the main target now.. these things were ONLY in the way.
..... โก
......
lol he pulled it out from the mirror just like... come out birdy. and birdy was like... no! s- stop...! but really... Tsu?! that thing is like... 3 times bigger than you! you pulled it out... WHILE IT WAS FIGHTING BACK not to get out... WITH THAT LITTLE HAND?! his hands are too powerful woooh
and let me say... I love the way he is holding that bird by its neck. ohhh! how... c-o-o-l. Tsu surely hates picking up on the weak so much. such a good boy. โก
what a great way to introduce No.3! like... it's not humiliating at all. ~ were AidaIro joking with that thing? they have a good sense of humor in there. Tsu grabbing it out of the mirror... lol such a scared little bird.. that doesn't dare to show its face... until it's forced out. good job, Tsu! โก and wow... after being asked: what are you doing?! Tsu showed that little cute confused face... what is coming next?
Putting you in your place, that's what I'm doing. โก wow............ I didn't see that coming...?! what happened to that little cute face from before.......... you're always, always, ALWAYS so lovely!!
but wow... he got all that thing out of the mirror... with one hand... while it's like... 3 times bigger that him. not all short boys are like how they look. and... it's an anime thing. lol (physics is crying in the corner right now to see this and all the other animes/mangas that follow this role) wonder why nat/kou dare call Tsu "chibi"... feels pathetic the only thing they can surpass him and all his glory with is "height" just saying
ahhh... anyway...... that bird is funny. after one hit... just one... Mr. No.3 is... wow... it's so weak.
is it weak (while EVEN being in its own boundary) or is Tsu hella op? if it's the later.. that kida saves it from total humiliation.
wow... so cool. beautiful. captivating. โก
cool to see Tsu not caring about her legs being called "daikon legs or whatever" a bit comforting after the hell of daikon she faced a little before. he is such a good boy. who cares for that? Nene-chan is so precious just the way she is! She's so beautiful!. ah... what a cutie... what a sweet kitty! I want to give him lots of head pats.โก
Too cute!!!
Cool!
Love it! โก Tsuuu!!!
I don't like it so much when he says 'anyway' 'whatever' 'who cares'. The last one espeically. I don't like it at all. ~
doesn't he feel like a father or older bro there?!
and it's not like he is.. being hateful. it's in a father or big bro kind of way. like... 'it's not good for you too keep relying on me! grow up! I won't be here all the time to take care fo you, you have to learn to take care of yourself!'
Comfort.. comfort..~
not me thinking Tsu was trying to mimic Amane. how cute. Uh... I will say it again, I'm really weak to this thing. Amane giving Tsukasa head pats is just... too soft and wholesome.. I LOVE it!! Want to see more of it!!! โก โก
๐ still need more
Anyway, back to the "hell of mirrors" thingy...
me the moment Tsu came into the chapter till the end of it. everything happened toooooooooo fast?! WOW?!
Tsukasa: ok.. want to get No.3. let's go. *done in less than 5 minutes* Me: process... process... process...
Adorable....
love how he started with things in a playful way -because hey! let's have some fun!- before getting serious, and once he got serious... woooh... it's over... how amazing he is..... love that serious face he is showing.....
Wow... curious little kitty... โก why am I thinking of researcher T right now? uh... that guy can do all kinds of tests on stuff as much as he wants. his curious mind must be so happy
So this little guy had that idea in mind since long ago.. huh? since the time he wathed that movie with Amane when little... haha... good he got to see his own creation when he was just 12! imagine if Amane was trying to get around the clock while Tsukasa was likeโฆ how do I make an artificial human??? funny!
Love how he is all relaxed and not bothered by whatever nonsense Kou is shouting or doing. He is taking everything calmly. My boy is so cool even without realizing it! โก
Oh, so... the path into No.3's boundary is this mirror for real, from what is shown in there... it's treated exactly as the stairs being the path to No.2's boundary and same goes for the 4p.m library in No.5's one, thing is..... why would the "path" to No.3's boudary be the mirror in the room Tsukasa does some stuff in??? huh.....??? ........... are the two boundaries seem to be more connected than we might think?
Now No.3's question to Tsukasa in here sounds... off???
Duh. The "path" to your boundary is already under his reach 24/7.
How come this bird doesn't seem to know that? Like... I'm generally surprised to get to the impression this bird doesn't seem to know about the nature of the "path" that leads to its boundary, where it is and under the reach of who it actually is......... how clueless can that thing be....?
I can either go about this 'contradiction' as a plot AidaIro came up with later and not from early on story stages, which I think doesn't match with the setup of the story, or as a dense speech from Hanako, which is much more believable and character accurate.
It can go on feet of his dense, not truly as good or let alone knowledgeable of a leader 'O, Honorable No.7' typical matter in this case.
Having No.3's boundary connected to supposedly his own, its door way is right there too, makes things ever worse for him. His yorishiro gets it but he is as dense as ever. Nah, not caring to even compare it to No.6's boundary case, where his yorishiro too was more familiar with the place than he was, or even, existed in it. lol
And espeically this cool-cool act in here.
And then, he is just as dense about it as the 'kid' he explains it to. ~
What a shame.
And I won't even call it he is being his 'liar-secretive-smart' mood, it's meaningless, senseless in both cases, the same amount, same line of thought.
He rather comes off as a dense kid trying to act 'O, Honorable No.7': The O, Cool School mysteries leader, who is aware of everything, come on follow his lead, and he'll take care of everything.
I mean, he is not even trying in here.
Boy, stop forcing a cool, smart act. Just act... 'normal'. The coolest you've ever been was in here. Standing still, and silent. Just perfect.
Meanwhile, I will let myself have his little brother going with his 'truthfully-elusive' words making me twist and turn.
๐ฌ 0ย ย ๐ 2ย ย โค๏ธ 10ย ยทย Ok.. so... a little something...
So... we've reached this point I believe?
Soooo.... she got Tsukasa himself!!! to tell
Ahh, The Inside Of His Head...
Meanwhile: big brother...
Boy, how uncool, you've got a reputation to live up to. Come on. Don't disappoint me any further. Eh.
And, speaking of disappointment... I will bring this up, as we're in it anyway.
Sigh. Never, ever expected I'll be let down in here.
Nothing better than using his own words on him, over and over.
Stop disappointing me, O, Smart-Experienced Amane.
Oh...
Forget it. XD
Anywho, rereading this post again made me admire this even more...
The feels... such a good boy... Ahh.. just acting on instinct... hide beind him when scared. Truly...
The elegant safe haven in this messy world he is...
The sad-adorable thing is he doesn't get it. He is just "oh? oooh?" "huh?" Ahhh, my Tsukasa, you're far more than you believe or are made to believe you are.
Hmm. Hmm. Just the way you are, all there is to you, you're my good boy. You make it all worth it and endurable for me. Thank you for that. โก
I think this contradiction is about AidaIro writing style. They decided to include a creation of a yorishrio as the story went by, so back then, what Amane said made sense, now it no longer does.
Honestly, there are many plot holes we ignore in this manga. Not just this one.
I also agree that Amane should stop being so treaty-like and be himself. I agree about him with you,still Amane is the most amazing male MC in the world.
About Tsukasa, please be prepared for that. Tsukasa isn't that great either.
Taking a look at past arcs (seriously - for fun). -Hell Of Mirrors
What a strong hand...
Hmm...
Hmm...
....... won't deny it... huh? ...............
-"I will humply do you the favor of replacing you, No.3" How ironic.
Oh... my... Tsukasa you...
... slay!!!
Your hunt. Thanks Tsukasa my dear! You did us all a favor! lol I only look at this bird for comic relief. that's the only thing it's is good for, I may go as far to saying not a single one in the whole jshk fandom cares to even remember it. even in the story itself it feels it was there to just get replaced. that's how much pathetic this bird is.(no offence to real life birds! this bird is the only one I'm talking about)
Mirror: forget it... I'm no match for him... I will just take my leave... I mean... get broken. Life is so unfair.....
Ahhh... even when this thing is just a joke I made a long time ago, it still never fails to make me laugh. Again, thank you for giving me a grand time in this arc, Tsukasa. โก
let me use your words again, dear.
Though, I'm laughing to myself... this pathetic bird actually managed to achieve something in life. He got Relaxed Tsukasa! to make such a cool face because of how annoying and hatable it was. I call it an achievement... imagine how much it would take you to actually piss off calm and relaxed Tsukasa. oooh! that thing is really really really rare.
I simply love everything about this whole thing. Look who is begging and screaming for dear life right now after making fun of others.~ so well-deserved.~ Little thing was enjoying himself watching his sick little hunt game escalate with the poor preys while hiding in the safety of his mirror. Too bad a tiger came into the game and became the hunter and the little bird was forced out of the safety of its terrier, started begging for dear life and became the prey under the mercy of the tiger's sharp claws. Lovely tiger put it in its place, no better way to do it. ~ here we go again, thank you Tsu!!! โก
Did it really say that to Tsukasa? That's too funny. Know your place little thing.
Hmm~ yes.~ Just like this.~
..................... Tsukasa went like: welllll... see... it's simply time to "replace" you. That's exactly what I'm doing. ~
I wonder if little bird regrets saying *his very last words* lol
A broken mirror vs a "to be replaced" bird... which matters more? pfffftttt... we care about a mirror more than we care about it. Yes, Tsu! ~
Ahhh.... still can't get over this little thing... the prince who saved princess Nene from the hell she was in is none other than you!! โก
Oh... Nene-chan... trust me that's not the case at all. He is on your side.~
Such a good boy.~~~
Sooo? This was already the plan since the very start? That's why Mit 2.0 got sent to No.3's boundary specifically. hmm... so... No.3, out of all the other mysteries was the one to be already targeted to get replaced by Mit 2.0 I assume? but like... Mit 2.0 won't ever be able to take down No.3 by himself no matter how long he would stay here... Tsukasa was bound to get the work done himself sooner or later. Also... now that kinda makes sense to me... it's hard for me to believe Tsukasa would go out of his way and do such a thing for nothing, or only because of the claim "No.3 got him angry, never make Tsukasa angry, he is simply ruthless and don't have mercy." that's so wrong to me... Tsukasa is not that type of person. smash someone because he shouted at you or got you angry. something else is at play. I may also take the thing of "Tsukasa taught him a lesson and all"... but it still won't feel enough...
While Tsukasa's ongoing plan is to destroy the 7 yorishiros, No.3's case in here seems to never have been meant to actually do that.
But this I assume? No.3 was only a pawn pre-chosen by you Tsu, huh. cool! also, sure thing Tsukasa can juuuuust appoint a mystery as if it was a little thing. sure thing.
lol, even sakura once Tsukasa was back with mit 2.0 prepared tea for him, a way to show her relief past annoying no.3 is no longer there. maybe he was actually just the worst and was getting on the broadcasting club nerves. while she is there to only change the rumor of No.2, say No.4 is not bad, tell Nene about No.5 (ordered by Tsukasa I assume), supposedly help No.6, want No.1's yorishiro out of the way, and not care much for No.7, No.3 was like: yeah, it's for the best he is no longer here. let's have tea. For real, I imagine she would be angry if Tsukasa didn't take such an opportunity to get rid of No.3's yorishiro right there if that was already their plan. seems they have different plans for it. according to Tsukasa in ch 92... he told her the yorishiro of No.3 is already a "done deal" for them, whatever that meant. Uh... to put it simply, this bird is never wanted or cared for, not even for a little. The fact that a yorishiro is meant to be a mystery's most precious thing gets to me at time and I'm like... this bird? his yorishiro is an actual ceiling....??? what feelings are in there??? also... now that it belongs to mit 2.0... what memories are restored in it?? the bird's (if there is any 'good' ones) or Mit's?
โก
Now I wonder, is that thanks to that mirror in the room we see Tsukasa in at times (maybe it works like a door, Tsukasa touched it while speaking about Mit 2.0, probably hinting Mit 2.0 is 'inside' it, reminds me of the fact No.2 also took Kou and Hanako to a mirror as well) , or to a door that leads to No.3's boudary in the nowhere place... (wonder what that room really is)
Cool reaction... feels special to see your own yorishiro in a boundary that belongs to another mystery, after he 'replaced' it.
What a rare occasion... 2 yorishiros in the same place... right beside each other...
hmm... real mit and mit 2.0 have different scarfs, right... so... the one with Mit 2.0 is actually from Tsukasa? sweet. Also, Tsukasa taking care of Mit 2.0 is something I've grown to like... for some reason.
Hmm... This thing amkes me confused at times, not gonna lie.
Such a nice game. Also, gotta love the nickname "crazy knife" pretty fitting in a funny way.
Hmm... look at the change... though... can we really call it a change? I mean... he gave up on the whole idea and made a deal with Kou and let said deal decide how things would end with him... maybe the change will come someday in the future...? Not to say this but... honestly... his whole 'cool' speech about wanting to have Kou end him only to give up on the whole idea after exchanging a few sentences with Kou feels.... boring... unsatisfying... not interesting at all...? Comparing him to Tsukasa and Sumire... makes things a lot worse... Tsukasa wanted to be killed by Amane and it happened and he embraced it happily, and now he is asking for it again it seems. Sumire as well, she never asked to be saved from being sacrificed and had that happening to her with a smile on her face then had No.6 finish things with her while she was all happy. Now, between those 2 who live to their words no matter what and Mit 2.0 who changes his mind every 5 minutes... yeah..... not too cool.....
Your plan is achieved, chief. Good job. Thanks for all your hard work. โก You can enjoy a cup of tea now while talking about what happened during the time the plan took place. ^^
Wooh! Is that you, Tsukasa? What are you gonna do?
o_o aren't these things supposed to be some kind of supernaturals too? oh my, Tsu... they deserve this though...
Uh... what matters more really is.... these things seems to me like...metal things? uh... I have to say... wow...?! how sharp is his... HAND?! he cut them perfectly like that with his hand?! in a flash... how fast...
......................... wow.............................................
What are you, Tsu? a bullet?
So this thing... really makes it feel to me Tsukasa was like: Ok, I got Mitsuba and Nene-chan out of danger... well.. well.. to the main target now.. these things were ONLY in the way.
..... โก
......
lol he pulled it out from the mirror just like... come out birdy. and birdy was like... no! s- stop...! but really... Tsu?! that thing is like... 3 times bigger than you! you pulled it out... WHILE IT WAS FIGHTING BACK not to get out... WITH THAT LITTLE HAND?! his hands are too powerful woooh
and let me say... I love the way he is holding that bird by its neck. ohhh! how... c-o-o-l. Tsu surely hates picking up on the weak so much. such a good boy. โก
what a great way to introduce No.3! like... it's not humiliating at all. ~ were AidaIro joking with that thing? they have a good sense of humor in there. Tsu grabbing it out of the mirror... lol such a scared little bird.. that doesn't dare to show its face... until it's forced out. good job, Tsu! โก and wow... after being asked: what are you doing?! Tsu showed that little cute confused face... what is coming next?
Putting you in your place, that's what I'm doing. โก wow............ I didn't see that coming...?! what happened to that little cute face from before.......... you're always, always, ALWAYS so lovely!!
but wow... he got all that thing out of the mirror... with one hand... while it's like... 3 times bigger that him. not all short boys are like how they look. and... it's an anime thing. lol (physics is crying in the corner right now to see this and all the other animes/mangas that follow this role) wonder why nat/kou dare call Tsu "chibi"... feels pathetic the only thing they can surpass him and all his glory with is "height" just saying
ahhh... anyway...... that bird is funny. after one hit... just one... Mr. No.3 is... wow... it's so weak.
is it weak (while EVEN being in its own boundary) or is Tsu hella op? if it's the later.. that kida saves it from total humiliation.
wow... so cool. beautiful. captivating. โก
cool to see Tsu not caring about her legs being called "daikon legs or whatever" a bit comforting after the hell of daikon she faced a little before. he is such a good boy. who cares for that? Nene-chan is so precious just the way she is! She's so beautiful!. ah... what a cutie... what a sweet kitty! I want to give him lots of head pats.โก
Too cute!!!
Cool!
Love it! โก Tsuuu!!!
I don't like it so much when he says 'anyway' 'whatever' 'who cares'. The last one espeically. I don't like it at all. ~
doesn't he feel like a father or older bro there?!
and it's not like he is.. being hateful. it's in a father or big bro kind of way. like... 'it's not good for you too keep relying on me! grow up! I won't be here all the time to take care fo you, you have to learn to take care of yourself!'
Comfort.. comfort..~
not me thinking Tsu was trying to mimic Amane. how cute. Uh... I will say it again, I'm really weak to this thing. Amane giving Tsukasa head pats is just... too soft and wholesome.. I LOVE it!! Want to see more of it!!! โก โก
๐ still need more
Anyway, back to the "hell of mirrors" thingy...
me the moment Tsu came into the chapter till the end of it. everything happened toooooooooo fast?! WOW?!
Tsukasa: ok.. want to get No.3. let's go. *done in less than 5 minutes* Me: process... process... process...
Adorable....
love how he started with things in a playful way -because hey! let's have some fun!- before getting serious, and once he got serious... woooh... it's over... how amazing he is..... love that serious face he is showing.....
Wow... curious little kitty... โก why am I thinking of researcher T right now? uh... that guy can do all kinds of tests on stuff as much as he wants. his curious mind must be so happy
So this little guy had that idea in mind since long ago.. huh? since the time he wathed that movie with Amane when little... haha... good he got to see his own creation when he was just 12! imagine if Amane was trying to get around the clock while Tsukasa was likeโฆ how do I make an artificial human??? funny!
Love how he is all relaxed and not bothered by whatever nonsense Kou is shouting or doing. He is taking everything calmly. My boy is so cool even without realizing it! โก
Oh, so... the path into No.3's boundary is this mirror for real, from what is shown in there... it's treated exactly as the stairs being the path to No.2's boundary and same goes for the 4p.m library in No.5's one, thing is..... why would the "path" to No.3's boudary be the mirror in the room Tsukasa does some stuff in??? huh.....??? ........... are the two boundaries seem to be more connected than we might think?
Now No.3's question to Tsukasa in here sounds... off???
Duh. The "path" to your boundary is already under his reach 24/7.
How come this bird doesn't seem to know that? Like... I'm generally surprised to get to the impression this bird doesn't seem to know about the nature of the "path" that leads to its boundary, where it is and under the reach of who it actually is......... how clueless can that thing be....?
I can either go about this 'contradiction' as a plot AidaIro came up with later and not from early on story stages, which I think doesn't match with the setup of the story, or as a dense speech from Hanako, which is much more believable and character accurate.
It can go on feet of his dense, not truly as good or let alone knowledgeable of a leader 'O, Honorable No.7' typical matter in this case.
Having No.3's boundary connected to supposedly his own, its door way is right there too, makes things ever worse for him. His yorishiro gets it but he is as dense as ever. Nah, not caring to even compare it to No.6's boundary case, where his yorishiro too was more familiar with the place than he was, or even, existed in it. lol
And espeically this cool-cool act in here.
And then, he is just as dense about it as the 'kid' he explains it to. ~
What a shame.
And I won't even call it he is being his 'liar-secretive-smart' mood, it's meaningless, senseless in both cases, the same amount, same line of thought.
He rather comes off as a dense kid trying to act 'O, Honorable No.7': The O, Cool School mysteries leader, who is aware of everything, come on follow his lead, and he'll take care of everything.
I mean, he is not even trying in here.
Boy, stop forcing a cool, smart act. Just act... 'normal'. The coolest you've ever been was in here. Standing still, and silent. Just perfect.
Meanwhile, I will let myself have his little brother going with his 'truthfully-elusive' words making me twist and turn.

โกโกโก
That's simply it. You are Tsukasa. You are perfect as such. My one and only Tsukasa. I love you so, so much.
First, letโs go over the Phantomhive twinsโ story:
* Iโll refer to real Ciel (or the original one) as R!Ciel and Our Ciel (or the one weโre following in the story) as O!Ciel.ย
R!Ciel and O!Ciel were born December 14th, 1875.ย
R!Ciel was born earlier, so he was declared as the Phantomhive heir.ย
O!Ciel was born sometime soon thereafter, becoming his brotherโs โspare.โ
R!Ciel would continue to have good health until his death. He was described as โmischievousโ (by Mr. Pitt the photographer), and โkind, cheerful, and braveโ (by his brother).ย
O!Ciel, alternatively, would suffer from age five onwards (and before that) with various illnesses and asthma (which he inherited from his mother). Because of his constant isolation and being his brotherโs spare, O!Ciel suffered (and continues to suffer from) low-self worth and has an inferiority complex. Heโs described as โquite shyโ (by his father), โa weak childโ (by his aunt), and โthoughtfulโ (by Tanaka).
Itโs very evident that the twinsโ parents loved them a lot. And any neglect was either unintentional or era-typical.ย
But even with that in mind, and despite his love for his brother, O!Ciel felt jealousy towards his older brother. Not like he wanted to hurt his brother or wanted him to suffer in any way, but jealous in the way that it probably hurt his heart to be constantly alone, watching his family through an upper-level window. The kind of jealousy thatโs an ache, dulled after so long of hoping for something different.ย
And R!Ciel likely felt jealousy towards his brother as well. For his freedom and lack of responsibility (though that hasnโt really been shown yet).ย
The twins, in spite of whatever jealousy or resentment they might have had due to their situation, loved each other very, very much.ย
R!Ciel took his job as O!Cielโs big brother very seriously. He would bring him milk with honey when his coughing was bad, protected him when it mattered, comforted him, and on at least occasion, brought him dinner.ย
On their tenth birthday, their home would burn down, their parents would be killed, and they would be trafficked.ย
Undetermined time later, they would be sold to a satanic cult and tortured in many different ways (including but not limited to SA, branding, and force feeding).ย
This would go on for weeks, until the next full moon, when R!Ciel would be scarified.ย
O!Ciel was left behind with guilt and sorrow so strong he summoned a demon.ย
The demon would soon after inform him that he (unintentionally) sold his brotherโs soul as payment for its arrival or โCrossing.โ
O!Cielโs guilt and his sorrow became so much bigger than his tiny body could contain. In this, he decided to โbecomeโ Earl Ciel Phantomhive. Thereby, becoming the heir (or his brother) and getting rid of what he hated most (himself).ย
Years would pass - about three years, nineish months.ย
O!Ciel changed drastically in personality, adopting some of his father and brotherโs personality traits. (As well as Sebastianโs and whatever traits he adopted because of the abuse he suffered at the hands of the cult). He went from sweet and thoughtful to cruel, callous, and calculated. Although, part of this would be a facade.ย
And then, in 1889, R!Ciel returned from the dead with the help of Undertaker (a mortician thatโs secretly a grim reaper that ran away from headquarters half-a-century before the story takes place). Heโs, presumably, soulless, and gets his brother arrested after framing him for dozens of murders.ย
It should be noted that, despite getting his brother in trouble and likely resenting him for siding with Sebastian and taking his identity and going on to (probably) destroy O!Cielโs company, R!Ciel seems to still love his brother. For one, he takes getting his brother arrested as a game, he allows his brotherโs servants to go free, and heโs happy his brother โwonโ against him when Mey-rin destroyed a blood collection facility.ย
Heโs also a bizarre doll, which means (unless Undertaker did something different) that heโs running on his desires for the future he had when he died. Considering how attached to his brother he was, even throwing a tantrum when he learned his brother wanted to move away to London, it wouldnโt surprise me if itโs revealed his motivation lies in isolating O!Ciel (and/or getting rid of Sebastian) and having him stay by R!Cielโs side.ย
O!Ciel, while he still loves his brother, is shocked and horrified by his surprising return.ย ย
With his reputation in ruins and his empire torn asunder, O!Ciel vows revenge against his brother (which his brother seems to think is a game).ย
Phew! That was a lot. Sorry for anyone that already knew that, but itโs going to be important later. Iโll try to keep the next section short. Now onto-ย
Secondly, letโs go over the Yugi Twinsโ Story:
The Yugi twins were born on November 25th, 1955.ย
Amane is born first, while Tsukasa is born second.ย
From an early age, Amane suffers from extremely poor health.
It gets to the point where he can no longer play with his brother, and heโs deemed terminal.ย
Tsukasa continues to bring his brother little trinkets, trying to cheer him up. At some point, he meets a God underneath their house that eventually promises to make Amane better in exchange for a sacrifice.ย
Tsukasa would agree, and sacrifice himself after celebrating his brother and his fourth birthday.ย
He would be gone for six months, only returning from the Godโs stomach because he heard his brother is going to kill Tsukasa and then himself.ย
Tsukasa and Amane would continue to be close after the incident.ย
The exact approximation of when their relationship fell apart is hard to discern, but it mightโve started as far back as the star festival and as recently as their second year in middle school. Though, by the time Amane kills his brother, their relationship was wrought with misunderstandings, resentment, and unspoken love.ย
After killing his brother, in 1969, Amane (likely out of guilt) killed himself.ย
Sometime after that, Amane would become Hanako - the seventh of the seven mysteries - and serve as a mediator for the near and far shores for approximately fifty years.ย
Amane or Hanako would adopt some of his brotherโs personality traits as a facade for himself, especially when interacting with his new friends (Nene, Kouโฆetc).ย
Though, no matter how hard he tries, he canโt escape how guilty he feels.ย
When provoked into remembering, Hanako has episodes that resemble PTSD or at least something close to it.ย
His brother returns, escaping from Hanakoโs boundary, and surprises Hanako.
Tsukasa seemingly, despite whatever restatement he might hold for his brother, loves Hanako and continues to say it several times throughout the manga/anime. Heโs also extremely affectionate towards his brother, though Hanako is hesitant to reach out and even breaks down crying the first couple times being confronted by his brother.ย
A spiritโs strength is apparently measured in their guilt and sorrow when they die.ย
Hanakoโs strength while unsealed is described as โable to bring the world into chaos.โ
Assuming he has nothing else to feel guilty over, he likely feels more guilt for his brotherโs death than his body can hold.ย
Tsukasa and Hanako have opposing views and continue to get in each otherโs way through several arcs in the manga.ย
A contrast of the two:
Set in different eras (1960s and modern era vs. the Victorian era).ย
Set in different countries (Japan vs. England).ย
The Phantomhive twins are both alive (more or less), while the Yugi twins are dead.ย
Amane, the older twin, is sick, while itโs O!Ciel, the younger twin, thatโs sick.ย
R!Ciel, the older twin, is the one thatโs sacrificed, while in TBHK, itโs the younger twin, Tsukasa, that pays the price.ย
Okay now the part that I wrote this for-
A comparison of the similarities between the Phantomhive twins and the Yugi twins:
While not really a similarity, both sets of twins are born in a year that ends in five, and make a life-altering decision in a year that ends in nine.ย
Due to dying, both sets of twins are thirteen, almost fourteen.ย
Both sets of twins are sagittariuses.ย
Both sets of twins have a healthy one and a sick one.
Both sets of twins have one that lives (or dies) with an immense amount of guilt and one that just dies.ย
Both sets of twins have parents that did the best for them according to the societal laws and dictations during their respective eras.
Both sets of twins, and I know this is a funny one to add, wear identical clothing up until the other twins' return.
Hanako Vs. O!Ciel:
Both are the โsick," โweak,โ or "socially inept" twin.ย
Both struggle with social skills due to being isolated as a child and their own self-worth issues.ย
Both are intelligent.ย
Both love their brothers very much and want the best for them.ย
Both change their personality (both intentionally and unintentionally) after a traumatic event.ย
Both adopt parts of their brothersโ personality to better suit their new persona.ย
Due to the nature of their brothersโ deaths, they both possess a level of guilt and sorrow that any normal person would explode into a million pieces over.ย
Both are in shock when their brother comes back.
Both have โPTSDโ episodes over the trauma theyโve experienced.ย
Both oppose their brothersโ ideologies and continue to stand in their ways.ย
Tsukasa vs. R!Ciel
Both care for their brothers while theyโre ill, bringing them things to help them feel better.ย
Both love spending time and are affectionate with their brothers.ย
Both are just as intelligent as their brothers (though it shows up in unconventional ways, such as manipulation, coercion, and charisma).ย
Both are murdered.ย
Both are sacrificed to a higher being.ย
Both are betrayed by their brothers.ย
Both come back, expressing their love for their brothers while also not allowing their brothers to forget what they did.ย
Both serve as antagonists to their brothers.ย
Both lose a part of themselves when they come back (R!Ciel from the dead and Tsukasa after he burns the red house down).
Tsukasa Vs. O!Ciel
Both are younger twins.ย
Both have low self-worth.ย
Both think that they are better off either not existing or being the one that was/is sacrificed if it means their older brothers would be okay.
Both look up to their older brothers.
Both are impressionable, naive children until a major traumatic incident changes everything.ย
Both are manipulated and molded to a higher-beingโs liking.ย
Hanako Vs. R!Ciel
Both are the older twin.ย
Both love their younger twin almost to their own detriment.ย
Both want to, wanted to save their younger brother from an entity of some sort.
Thatโs all I have for now. Thanks for reading <33
What do I see here...? Some cool stuff going on! my god, both seem to be so pleased with it... it's so easy to please these little cuties! so cute! >< learn your lesson, Amane! The way into Tsukasa's/Nene's heart is through their 'little' interests!
Hmm... now I really need to see the 2 of you doing a puzzle together, that would be fun for sure! The 2 of you are so into this thing!
This grown up, 'not childish' man may try not to join you. You can use your charm in additon to a cute smile with some warm words on him, that would surely work. Then the 3 of you can enjoy some fun time! โ
******
Really? He is almost done? You misjudged his smartness. Give him another one lol
*******
Now, thinking for a moment... Tsukasa is a truly thoughtful person! He knew Nene won't be able to come back to take the puzzle or the other things and they will be left there and just go to waste. He saved the puzzel! I wonder about the other things... they seemed fun, too... did he take them as well? or was the puzzle the most interesting and outstanding thing to him?
Also, um... the twins had a little time with only the 2 of them after Nene wasn't there, right? I wonder if they talked about something important... or Tsukasa just casually got interested in the things Nene brought and took the puzzle then... asked Amane to have it? Or just... took it and then said bye-bye to Amane and vanished...? someone seems to be super excited to have some fun. ^^ Thank you so much for your 'gift', Nene! It made Tsu-Tsu so happy!
Oh! Now I'm thinking it may be nice if next time when Tsukasa meets her, he will remember to say the puzzle was nice!
Tsukasa's assistant's servant is not nice. She has her books and things and brings him nothing. Do it at least for once. Be nice to him for once. Does he really need to ask for a cup of tea all the time? Pring him a puzzle or something... his needs are simple... a little game is enough...
******
So, um... Tsukasa... Nene... I would love to join you and do a puzzle together... haha...!
Woooh.. spooky!! But it's only here that things become more -heart-racing!- !!!
It seems like this legendary puzzle is real!!!
And it drifted all the way into the far shore... to fall straight into the hands of a certain guy!!!
Ohhhh Shiny! โ
Let's look closely at this rumor again, as it is said, this puzzle is 'Patience-Testing'.
I totally see that!
And it is, "Pure Hell!".
So, the puzzle comes with warnings like: "please do not buy if you're a beginner",
"18 years and up", ... more like 'Almost 14' for a certain... species.
and, "The Great King of hell has arrived!"
Do you... believe in this rumor?
Personally, I do.
Therefore...
I would like to ask this guy one certain thing... just one...
How? H-o-w? HOW?
How... do you have a heart... to throw away this 'white inferno' in the eyes of humanity... just... like that?!
After you've almost completed it in a remarkable time?????????
And then just... leave for good?!
What for?! Tell me whyyy!!!
For some people, as I saw, finishing like... 20% of this took them half a month!!! What's your excuse????
I can see this puzzle crying there... in the cold water... its tears becoming one with it... out of your... graaaceful nonchalant move...
Oh White Inferno puzzle, rest assured, I will always remember you!
My god, I knew since forever that you finishing this puzzle without breaking a sweat is remarkable... but now it's insanely that!!!
What a genius!!!
What... a "who cares" genius!!!
You're so... full of yourself, huh? Go: No big deal, I can 'repeat' this 'fun' again whenever I am in the mood. While we normal ones stare at you like this...
Oh my goodness... you're... how intelligent are you?
Seriously?
If I am talking here about a... 1'4' y.o guy...
SIR?!?!? SIR?????? WE NEED TO TALK!!!!
About everything I swear. How exactly... that head of yours... or... how patient... or fascinatingly illegal... or the overall creature you are... oh my god...
My head... my heart... my everything... tooorn.. torn...
... we've seen those... haven't we? Now they just hit harder like everything else and... I need to breathe...!!
Oh, how patient you are to bear with everyone around you in this story... lol
We all live in a whole different universe apparently... goodness...
Even while having fun and playing around you're so... majestic!
I mean... yeah... the moon... yeah... yeah...
I am speechless... just... freaking out... heart about to explode. Life is good! hahahaha ~
While I am like this, I am certain he is like this.
I can't with you. ^_^
******
Let's now bring some calm remarks regarding the original post, shall we? ^^
As passionate as I am about the fact that Tsukasa & Nene would have a fun time solving a puzzle together... I don't think our friend white inferno is the right answer here. Not this one.
I either see Nene blankly staring at it for eternity, as Tsukasa solves it all by himself, simply.. forgetting the world and losing himself in one of his own and white inferno. Or, worse, she messes it for him... and here his patience truly is tested. XD
No one messes with his games or fun alike. Not his hard work, or plans.~
Otherwise, he'll get done with the whole thing and leave. ~
I'll take it here in a casual, cool Tsukasa style. ~~
He loses interest in the wasted. ~
I advise the two of them to take a normal puzzle! They'll have so, so, so much fun!! And yes, if I can, I would join. haha
As for the grown up, not childish man Amane, I got into what you're hiding. These I mentioned are just excuses to cover up why you won't accept to play. You're scared to show you can't survive white inferno, or to shamefully fail from the get go. So, you won't accept to play no matter what, to save your supposed cool image. I see, I see.
As for our boy Tsukasa, it seems like the puzzle was catchy certainly because it directly spoke to his brain. How COOL!
He likes a good challenge, or in his case... fun.
Him and his carefree time, games... so, so good.
So, really... the only way to work around white inferno in that universe, is by giving it to Tsukasa.
I totally see where Hanako's reaction is coming from.
Sorry Nene, perhaps it was for the best that you lose this puzzle to Tsukasa anyway.
I would laugh all day long if the chapter simply went with you and Hanako sitting there, staring at each other, trying to slove it all passively, no move made. XD
Ch 105...
Aaaaanyway.
With this, we're done with commenting on the original post!
********
Into the behind the scenes of the coming of this post!
It all started with a "Why not try out something 'Tsukasa' again?" A certain puzzle came to mind, and I said let's solve one. See how smart a girl can be. haha ~
Okay, so... it was something decent... took me like... 20 minutes to finish it. It had like... hmm... 63 pieces in total.
So, I truly wondered... for a puzzle of 2000 pieces... how was Tsukasa truly doing? Absolutely Impressive.
Like... let's say he finished half of it... so 1000 pieces don't seem to even have taken him 10 minutes. Frankly, that's inhumane. Supernatural, yeah. XD
Now this thing, simply is illogical. "Wow, that was incomprehensible. please, be kind, rewind."
???
How does it even work for him? At what speed does both his ONE hand and brain work?? That's insane.
But... as we know his brain is... 'limitless'... and his hands are... illogical on their own... they are speed...
He himself is speed really...
So... makes sense? ????
Time & logic are no issue for him. Unlike some... things.
Ah, one has to admit... being a supernatural -of his kind- has its perks.
Logical question, AGAIN, how do you survive in the world of the story the way you are, Tsukasa? Tell me. hahahaha
Thanks to this, I became interested to dig in and see about his white inferno, and that only made me more interested, I made this to save the grand memory, and to document another point into the breathtaking smartness of this guy! โก
///
What do we learn from all this:
-Serena, can Tsukasa make you come undone with a single, perfectly normal puzzle?
I can't fully express how excited i felt when i read your new post about tsukasa. i really like the way you talk about him. I've been missing your posts!!
Hello there!
Awww thank you so much! This truly made me happy! Ahh, I talk about him a lot... lots of posts for you to enjoy reading, I hope!! This Tsukasa blog is always here to give so much love as a girl's heart can handle to this captivating prince! โ
A cute question. How would tsukasa feel if hanako and yashro give him a loving hug ๐ค
Hello there!
Hmm... that's a cute thought indeed! Well, let's get into it just as cutely, and just focus on that corner of the world, shall we? ^^
For that, we won't take... well... an emotional Tsukasa or... canon backstory of his, or anything of that sort as base to reflect on his reaction.
We will simply go for a casual setting, a casual moment the three share.
Why not imagine it's those three? hahaha
They're too goofy, aren't they? haha ~
So, these two giving this literal kitten over here or not he is pretending to be one, ahhh Tsuuu... always carrying secrets under those purple sleeves of yours. always one of a kind ~ a loooovinggg hug!!
*for the sake of cuteness, we'll say the three of them are perfectly -normal- cats. Or really, the three are just Amane, Tsukasa and Nene. In general. haha
Let's divide this "Loving hug" into its two halves first!
Love. Ohhh boy. Here we come.
Tsukasa & Love. Do you get the mix? Do you? DO you??? Ahahahaha ~~
Careful, careful! This kitten overflows with it! He is suuuch a romantic!!!
Ahh baby boy!
Also, he is naturally a kitten who loves, loves, loves affection, and this... sweet, sweet touch. He m-e-l-t-s! He is such a SOFTIE! Look at him!
This little thing... simple little creature...careful.. careful with him!! >.<
As for the hug part...
It's no mystery that this lil boy is a big fan of hugs? He gives them a lot, many, many of them! Especially to those he truly loves and values. hahaha
His manner? Beaming, excited, laughing, joyful. A very cuddly creature! How sweet!!!
Look at him, he even makes the 'dash' for it. ~
Tap. Tap. Ahem, those... vary... yet all play on the strings of my heart easily. ~
He loves hugs, he loves giving them, he loves receiving them.
So, with this Tsukasa background in mind, let's turn this around and say he is the one getting the 'loving hug' with all that enthusiasm!
Amane and Nene there, made the plan to take him down in one attack of a hug when he least expects it. His way.
He is standing there, properly talking about something with the two, a perfect chance comes when he stands still, and they go for it.
I see this would be his reaction as he sees them 'dashing' his way with wide open arms, shouting a cheerful 'Tsukasa!' with bright smiles on their faces. haha
"Ehhhh-h!"
They capture him in a tight embrace, for a moment he is just standing there "........"
processing what happened, then...
And this "then"! Is what people need to be careful with and prepared for! โโโ
Tsukasa WILL return the hug with DOUBLE the passion! Good Luck!
I can see the sparkles, hear the silly giggles he'll let out, before the world spins for the two, and they are on the floor. Some Tsukasa on top, being a real cat, maybe rubbing his face against theirs, and kicking his legs around chaotically. His hold? We know. Best of luck to them!
How would he feel to receive their loving hug? LOVED! Overjoyed! Heart flutter! Happy, Happy, Happy! As fluffy as a could! Good, good, good!
Overwhelmed? Definitely. Because he is a softie.
But know what comes on top? His own love for them! Thus, the fast reaction of his, in its nature. He loves so much, so much, it overflows. Those he loves are lucky to have him!
You'll give him a hug? He will give you one, two and more. He would give you the world, and anything at all just to see you happy.
It's just the way he is. They way his pure beautiful heart works.
So, you'll have to go in prepared. And, frankly, you'd never be. How to limit the limitless? You'll spend a lifetime trying to be a step ahead in what you would call "returning this 'love' of his", and every time you'll find yourself 10 steps away.
At the end you're left speechless, just... sighing and accepting his 'Tsukasa-ness'.
The fact that he simply is too giving... understanding... and accepting... he doesn't ask for much. Not any grand show or gesture. He is there, always by your side, and sees the 'simple hug' you give him a treasure, it means the world.
What to do to ever deserve him?
I think, at the core of what you share, it's essential to keep reassuring him that he is loved, wanted and accepted. I believe this is the 'behind the scenes' of the 'loving hug' that he 'desires' from you. Let him learn your feelings too. Not just his own.
Give your kitten this, every day, morning and night. Let him always know he is your beloved. So he feels it's just right. So he feels good with himself. With you. With what you share. So he stays rooted.
Do this! For both your happiness and his. A perfect cycle!
Our kitten here is well-cared for, looked after. Tsukasa is a master at this, but hey, give it to him too. Cats love to be pampered!
He will take care of you, means he will take care of you, no running away from this fact. XD
But yeahhh.. do that too. Best way you can. hahaha
I say go and spoil him rotten! A hug, a pat, a whole lot of kisses to that sweet face of his, lots of "I love you", more fun times you share, play a lot with him, simply... 'live' your days together.
See how tiny-tiny and simple that is?
Sweeter than any kind of sweet!
I always say, beauty is in... Simplicity!
So, Cat Amane & Nene go this way, and our little kitten Tsu goes as we said. They live their best cat life together!
Ahhh irresistible!
A hug is never enough!!
Ahhh another thing one gotta be careful about... I believe... to be the fact that enduring a certain amount of affection... Tsu-Tsu reaches his limits. He... shuts down. hahaha
Silly boy! โก
But hey, that's only a sign of a fully satisfied and truly pampered Tsu! Who would miss that? Personally, I won't. I will chase after it if anything. Let me shower you with love until you no longer know what do!
Maybe, unable to take it anymore, he acts cool and takes his leave.
Ohhh that would be cuuuute. ~
What would be cutest is him running away, showing how overwhelmed he actually is, unable to act cool about it. Like this. ~
Mokke would be me, or AN team. ~
Imagine a direct Tsukasa like this? ~~
Isn't he a blessing? ^^
Some kitten got jealous so I will bring him up. A loving hug for him too. โก
Come to think of it... why am I including myself? It's about the three of them? Or... forget it! I WILL include myself! hahaha see? that's how the Tsukasa charm works! He stands there, just like this!!!
And you want to squeeze your soul that he stole out of him, lovingly! โ
Simple but extremely effective!
Cats am I right? โช
The world itself owes him lots and lots of hugs!!!!!
And hey, it's not his fault he stole your heart! He even would say.. 'sorry' if it came down to it. His Tsukasa way. And I've got mixed feelings thinking of his reaction to one's accusation... because while I loved for it to be in his cutie kitten way...
Yeah. I know it's ME who will be saying sorry in the end. But hey, cute counts!
... the Tsukasa reaction I had at mind... Actually, no. Let's not mess with that one. No.
A perfect defensive move. Wonder if it works... this is the first time I use her in my reactions... the lengths you make me go... *!Tsukasa!
We said the question is cute, after all! We keep it as such!
#Cute Tsukasa reactions! Only!
The Tsukasas running inside my head right now. Oh my gosh.
Anywho, continuing with his reactions! We took many so far, so let's take another approach!
After the hug, let's imagine him getting more and more excited, asking stuff like: what was that for? hey, hey, I'm curious! Hey you two, any games we're playing that I'm not aware of??? etc.
Like this. โ
In the end we might need to just... have some sort of control over the situation.
But hey, our lil baby boy is happy, having a good time!
I mean, let's celebrate! -Nene-chan and Ama-nii surprised meee with a hug todaaay. ~ hehehe ~ hmm ~~ hmmm ~~ โช โซ โฌ ~
Let Tsu-Tsu enjoy himself!!! No limits!!!
Candy from me on top!
Can you imagine him just naturally keeping the game running? Coming out from all places at all times to both of them/a Tsukasa thing after all haha, stands there, arms open, let's share a hug! Over and over.
Any willpower to reject... all this?
Especially after you see this is his reaction to your shared fun moment? Every single time? For him, them and you... it feels like the first.
Won't you trade, give away, all the warmth that you saved in your heart just for a single precious honest smile or real laughter of his? Just to see him truly happy?
I would live in that day!
He always gives them, others this. Least expected is to return it. This heart of his... no matter how many times I try to resist... it makes me cry. Another thing to start anew just as his affection and care! haha
So, imagine a daily rutine of - A Hug Chain! Just little kittens playing around, enjoying a fun sunny day!
Where does this lead us to?
Hmm... we say in short, Tsu always would love to receive a loving hug from those dear to him, Amane and Nene in this case, he would be overjoyed, he would show various reactions based on the intensity of the moment, but in all cases, he will return this hug with an extra dose of love because that's just the way he works.
He will be surprised at first, he'll take his sweet time to adjust, 'then', they need to get ready for what to come. Prepare their hearts for the hug he'll return with so many extra values. Spoiler, they won't ever get there. Because whoever loves this boy so much will be overwhelmed to keep 'control'.
So, they get carried away, thanks to this, he is overwhelmed himself. Either he acts cool about it, or be too much of that he won't be able to even think straight to act cool. He'll run away as last chance to save his heart.
He might get excited, enjoy the game of affection, be as curious as ever, talk endlessly.
He will keep the game alive!
Such a happy family we have there! โ
Hahaha Let's end it here then with the cute reactions and feelings of Tsukasa? ^^
I surely hope they meet with the just as cute question of yours!
