just a lil question about recent gachiakuta chapters
okay so i'm a little confused about enjin's "true" name. do you pronounce "endoareilychima" as "il-ay-chima", with the same sound as, say, "pie" -- or do you pronounce it "il-ee-chima"???
maybe it's my first language biasing me here but i'm leaning towards the second pronunciation lmao.
He'll live, trust.
But blind faith to the side, I'm sure that Enjin will survive for a few reasons. The biggest one is that his head is still attached to his body and that Eishia is here, too.
Another reason is that it's basically confirmed that the scar on his head is from the previous time he used Time Walk. This gives us a good setup for a third time usage. This one nearly kills him, while the third time would most likely kill him, which ups the stakes, raises the tension and prepares the audience for his eventual (possible) death.
But this doesn't only count for the audience. I don't think Enjin will manage to keep his watch a secret anymore. He would have to lie his ass off to explain this and that would be obvious and/or a break of trust with everyone else. It's likely he'll be honest with them and we'll get massive guilt among Rudo, Riyo and Zanka (which would already be there because he's at death's door right now). And with that guilt would come fear of what could happen to Enjin in the future if they failed again.
I'm specifically looking at Zanka and Riyo for future character work to come out of this.
There is also Enjin's second backstory to his Chimera identity. As long as Urana doesn't go into a completely different direction with this (which I doubt), Enjin has family history that ties back to Rudo's family and the past. We see glimpses of that when they spot the mural and when Enjin learns of Rudo's surname.
Overall, it also wouldn't fit the tone of the story for him to just die here without the narrative working towards it. Even Gojo had a narrative setup before he got bisected. This one is so sudden it would break the way Urana has been writing Gachiakuta for it to be true. (Or for it to stick.)
Yeah so, he'll live. And we'll fondly put that expression into his panel folders.
third use of time walk could cause a slash to the heart / chest maybe? like, the first use was on the head, and the second one was on the throat. wouldn't shock me if using time walk only specifically harmed vital places (as we were told that using this jinki would come to a great cost; nearly dying every time you use it doesn't sound too far-fetched to me.)
chapter 167.2 posting again, spoilers again!! (my last post regarding chapter 167.2 is like. an hour old lmao.) and mention of bungou stray dogs chapter 88 too
i'd seen somebody on here say "enjin got kirked", and i didn't think that it meant HE GOT HIT THRU THE THROAT MAN
i just thought it meant "he's dead". i didn't think it meant his last words were "counting or not counting gang violence" lmao
also his death panel made me think of bsd chapter 88.............
akutagawa versus his evil, older, more fuckass-looking counterpart
nah seriously enjin's face made me crack up, my fave character is dying and he's making this face??? hello??? sleep paralysis who??? sleep paralysis YOU enjin
however ☝️ my man stayed true to himself and got to look nice in the panel right before this one, five seconds before he got guillotined. that was kinda funny to me like okay things are looking kinda better but at what cost
one last thing. enjin's fucking shoulders. brother is built like henry viii on his holbein portrait.
okay not really tho having compared enjin right before his death panel, and enjin on said panel, his shoulders ain't all that big. like on the former panel the shoulders look normal to me, and he's built pretty much the same in both panels. idk why tho he seems ludicrously enormous on his death panel
anyway uhh enjin will probably live! hopefully! i'm coping but really dude has two feats to his name (accomplished respectively in chapters 2 & 165/6) so it'd be a waste to kill him off....................................................
chapter 167.2 of gcakt, spoilers, i'm gonna make other posts on this because h o l y f u c k (cw: wounds & scars)
ENJIN MY BOY NOOOOOOOO
ahem. so i noticed one (1) thing
this is shown right before he aurafarms for the last time, and keels over and fucking dies.
i wondered why the scar would be shown -- like, why not his eye, to convey emotion, or anything else. no, we get the scar.
okay now cracktheory time, could it be that the scar is from a previous use of time walk? as we've seen, the clash between two anima bodies created some sort of explosion, or a cut into reality itself, wounding both enjin and mymo. whatever it was exactly, it slashed enjin's throat.
the same thing could've happened way earlier in enjin's life (why? idrk), leaving him with a slash across the temple.
(i think he would've fucking died if this is really what happened. but ☝️ it's funny to theorise)
some stuff & theories about what chapter 167 gave us
okay so gotta love that, but uhhhhhhhh. many people think enjin's not gonna use timewalk and walk it off (lmao) like it's nothing. so let me raise you this. what if the dude stays in this state of being pure anima? like, time would no longer go forward for him, his consciousness would be stuck in one, frozen instant; and his real body, in turn, would remain frozen too, while time keeps going forward.
idk where i'm going with this
a little idea about witch hat atelier! no spoilers.
i've only picked up the anime/manga this morning. i'm around chapter 30 as of now, so i've no clue if this ends up appearing or not. i just wanted to share it, as it felt interesting :D
also i never wrote alt text before so if it’s unclear i apologise
okay. okay, it was too quiet when you walked towards the kitchen in the cleaner headquarter. rudo didn’t yell about sweets. zanka wasn’t crashing out somewhere. no loud music blasted from riyo’s room. not to mention enjin was nowhere to be seen.
then you smelled it. smelled like butter and sugar. mmm. this was good, right? at least until you smelled the faint smoke under it.
“oh. oh no.” you hurried toward the kitchen only to stop dead in your tracks.
a whole ass disaster awaited you. flour covered the counters. one pan had somehow melted on one side. eggshells here. eggshells there.
rudo stood on a stool and stirred something aggressively while riyo decorated something that looked like burned pastry with pink frosting. poor zanka held dramatically on a plushie while trying to fan the smoke out of the window with his free hand.
enjin stood in the middle of all of it. apron on, sleeves rolled up, hair hanging into his face. man looked exhausted.
the moment they saw you everybody froze.
“surprise?” rudo offered.
you just blinked at them.
“oh no,” riyo gasped. “she hates it.”
“i told you we should’ve cleaned first,” zanka hissed.
“you literally dropped the batter on the floor,” rudo snapped back.
“you stepped in it!”
“kids,” enjin sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.
the sight nearly made you laugh. nah, you actually giggled softly. then a full belly laughter as rudo poked accusingly zanka’s flour covered face.
“you look ugly as hell.”
“shut up!”
“enough,” enjin interrupted their bickering.
your chest warmed painfully at the scene in front of you. because this chaotic little family had become yours somehow.
rudo looked away, being a little embarrassed. “we just wanted to do something.”
“yes. rudo had told us about mother’s day and so we thought we should celebrate you,” riyo added brightly.
zanka shoved the plushie towards you, and now you saw it was holding a single flower. “these are from all of us.”
fuck, your heart was so, so full of love. you felt all warm and fuzzy and this was the best thing ever.
“thank you,” you whispered.
riyo suddenly grabbed your wrist. “sit down! sit down! we made breakfast.”
you eyed the suspiciously blackened food. “is it edible?”
“probably,” rudo answered honestly.
“It’s edible,” enjin corrected, though less confidently.
you sat down and yes, it was awful. too sweet. too burned. it was still the most delicious thing you ever ate. one of the best mornings you ever had and you knew, in a few years you’ll still think fondly of it.
riyo kept talking over everyone. zanka pretended not to care but secretly pushed the least burnt pieces onto your plate. rudo argued with everyone every five seconds while watching your reactions to make sure you liked everything.
and enjin watched you quietly the entire time, because seeing you smile made the chaos worth it.
later, after you all cleaned the kitchen together and the kids scattered off to do their thing, you found him outside. he was fixing something on his umbreaker, a cig hanging loosely from his mouth.
gently you hugged him from behind and kissed his shoulder. “thank you.”
“you deserve it, mama.”
the nickname affected you more than you let on. because enjin said it and he never said things he didn’t mean. some might argue you were more like a big sister, but what you felt came closer to motherly. so it made your heart burst with happiness.
knowing that he got you emotional enjin turned around and kissed your forehead.
home. all of them were your home.
speculations for chapter 167
what if enjin doesn't know what time walk does? of course, it's related to time, but does it rewind it? accelerate it? stop it? or all of that, and you just pick? it'd kill me on the spot if enjin just started to fumble with his watch like "fuck i wanted to go forward in time, not freeze everyone". ofc low chances of that happening imo, because upcoming chapters are probably supposed to bring a serious, impactful resolution to both the doll fest arc & people's theories about the clock panels & enjin's second jinki, but......... idk what if
Enjin has many little siblings
last names in gachiakuta (spoilers for chapter 166)
i'm really fond of the last names urana picks for her characters. like yeah, "surebrec" is cerberus backwards, and members of this family are shown to be able to cross the border, which feels very much like passing between hell and the living world.
i think the one i like most is enjin's though. it's only a theory that his last name is "chimera", but.
in gachi alphabet, this says "chimera", perhaps proving it's his last name. or it's just the make of the car idk lmao i'll stick with it being enjin's name. i really love it because, what's a chimera?
mythologically, a hybrid clusterfuck of a few animals. and there's also a meaning in genetics, wherein a chimera is an organism produced by the fusion of two or more embryos. hybridisation, too.
and enjin, wielding two vital instruments, makes me think a lot of something hybrid. like is this not the first time we're shown someone having two jinkis? even though one is part of the watchman series, and thus seems to be activable by anyone, it still looks like a feat or some kind. maybe it's related to his anima, being hybrid in some way.
chapter 166 and how it. kinda ruins an oc of mine lmao
so the thing that cracks me up is. i've got this oc, named harper, with a jinki called songbird. it's a wind-up key taken off a music box, and it allows harper to send one person at once forward or back in time, basically. at some point, their jinki powers up, now allowing them to wind everyone around them through time. this comes at the cost of one of their organs failing upon using the power — organ can be fixed by eishia provided its failure doesn't kill harper on the spot.
and well the "oh enjin will probably be able to rewind rudo / everyone in time, but at a huge cost" thing makes harper Very Redundant with what's happening in canon rn lmaooo
While I didn't find an actual picture of the original Japanese panel, I found someone who wrote that speech bubble down. So for Enjin's many, many names we have:
Endoareiraikima
Irasutasurai
Makiada
Reotorago
Sufidi
Faajin
If there is a hidden name or message somewhere inside of these, then the original katakana writing will help more than the english transliteration but those aren't without their merit either, especially when you don't know how to see foreign words inside the katakana.
Not that I see anything there :D
Until now:
in katakana, Irasutasurai is the same forward and backward. So that's probably a joke name.
the Japanese pronounciation of Chimera is kimaira. That's the last 4 katakana in Endoareiraikima rearranged.
The Chimera is one of Cerberus' siblings, which I talked about here once. The rest of the names could hide things as well, but that's for me right now.
So... is Enjin a descendent of the other friends of Macaca Icol and Canis Surebrec?
okay so 166 spoilers i'm losing my mind
THE GACHI ALPHABET HERE SPELLS CHIMERA. OP YOU WERE SO RIGHT OH MY GOD I MIGHT SCREAM.
chapter 166 spoilers
enjin saying his obsession is making himself worthy of his name "to connect others" RUNS SO FUCKING DEEP when you look at all his actions throughout the manga. like ohhhhh my god people joked about him basically collecting strays but that is LITEARLLY HIS SELF ASSIGNED LIFE'S PURPOSE. no one look at me
on chapter 166, fuck me, fuck my life
okay so. it was a watch. yay people's speculations were right. enjin is probably gonna die or at least end up in as shitty a state as alto's upon using it. also the name 'time walk'is is so damn cool lmao.
random stuff but i'm pretty sure alto's hair got more black than how it was in 165. AND AND AND in my humble opinion, 13-y.o. enjin never looked so much like a kid than the moment he saw alto again. ueurheurhegh
what if i offed myself. what then huh
