***Ch 111***

As always, just talking fast about a few things.

So yeah, I thought No.1 were testing things and all, so they can move accordingly.

Uh, finally it's confirmed what's within Tsukasa is Sumire's village entity. Feels good.

Laughed a lot at Tsukasa (what's in him) being shown as the "root" to what's going on, according to No.1. Like... I'm so shocked you know. Never expected such a twist. No. ~ Not ever. ~

So... what does it exactly mean to establish a new "present"???

Like...

It's not like we are just merely back in time. Things changed.

Aoi's appearance is so questionable to me. I always assumed she kept her hair down due to her hand being damaged from her experience near the far shore. But now, that doesn't seem to be the case?

Following that line, if we assumed Aoi's hand is alright, then she was never scarified, meaning the severance never happened, meaning what had led to it happening never took place......

Wasn't it having near half the yorishiros down? I mean, that's what led No.6 to move to deal with what was going on back then, sacrificing Aoi in the progress.

Now, if that didn't happen... it means no yorishiros have fallen down? No mastermind was there? Then... does "Hanako-san" exist in this present? Mit 2.0 who was created by his yorishiro? Sumire is...?

Nene's lifespan? I mean???? In this present she won't die basically.

And that's not what we were told? This ideal present doesn't work well with what was said about her inevitable death? so something seems doomed to go wrong. she won't escape death just like that, it's so easy, just saying.

Thing is... Mirai and Kako went back to the past to change events, the year 1968 was shown, is it where they chose to start changing things from? Or did they keep going back? It's the year Amane and Tsukasa both were 12 y.o. So... did they go back to the time Amane was working around 'that' clock? Because yes, I've always ignored the clock the dog destroyed is not really identical to the one with a moon and son on top, there are other things too. That clock feels to control the school's time, while the other gets you to time travel? The school's time seems to be included, also. The clock Tsukasa was talking about...? Was it the one shown in this chapter? So like... Amane was messing with the wrong one all along? Unless he wanted to command the time of the "School" itself? it kinda explains why Tsukasa told Nene to use a clock then broke another? they are not the same?

Thing is, if the severance never took place, then Kou and Nene never met 4 y.o Tsukasa. Which means he never went back home. Which gets you to wonder... would Amane have any reason to work around the clock, then????

They are going back to that time so they will "eliminate" a Tsukasa that never exists??? That's still in the red house or something???

Thing is, why didn't Mirai and Kaku go back to the day of the twins' birthday instead? Or before Tsukasa made the deal with what's in him. You're after the "root" of the events?

.............

Hmm.... maybe not 'that' clock.

Are you hiding something??? Your attitude is sus.

But in the ideal presnet, none of this happned? I mean, she never was with Mit 2.0, he is not even there, never went back in time to see Tsukasa.

So, what is it the reason behind time becoming unstable in the past as Tsukasa pointed out? Did No.1 try to change things in there, somehow this boy put and end to it, proceeded to meet Nene, putting the past, original present back on track? Like... we can't have over 100 chapters of the story erased?? Something needs to come to play?

I'm so in love with those eyes, but I can't trust what's hidden beneath them. You and your games. ♡

According to the ideal present, he shouldn't be there? Hmm... the "root" must be there for No.1 to deal with him.

I will assume it is about what Kaku mentioned about Akane taking care of things until they set the ideal present in stone? Before they get to do that, things are "not" exactly that way.

So, they are after putting an end to the "root", past Tsukasa, what's in him?... so that ideal present can really take place. Seems he will be having some guests. ~ Wow, what an extreme value you have, little Tsu.~

Hey, No.1.. get to this guy any time you want, just not during his singing section, do you hear me?

Is it... a bad omen after all? Is is surprising knowing the type this story is?

So yeah, I'm just confused, if anything. And most likely, I'm just overreacting. Don't mind me. XD

*****

Little note on Tsukasa and his games -with Nene:

Ahem,

First time they played together was in the red house when he was 4.

So, having 12 y.o Tsukasa asking Nene to come play with him again, feels legit.

But...

What does "again" really means?

What if Nene played a game of time with him 'and forgot?' a little before meeting him once more and having him saying this "again"?

Hmm... so I wonder whether this "again" refers to the red house play time, or actually her playing with 12 y.o Tsukasa 'before' so that makes it 'again'...

It's the same boy who told her "of course I'm Tsukasa kun" "Amane's twin" when little and then as a ghost went with it again as if it never happened before, for the sake oh Nene who is confused.

*****

But if anything, I will laugh because this ideal present has a fun thing within it... that is...

Never reached this point. XDDD

No, they didn't move a single step forward in what she wants. How sad. ~~~~

For now, I will enjoy it while it lasts, before things are back to the original path.

Yeah, right now... I don't really... have it in me to be so emotional over the start of the chapter. It's as if it never happened. At least in this ideal present.

*sigh* I'm lying.

... But wow, didn't really expect the same thoughts of his mother where in his head, too..... or my expectations of such a case were really low...it's too much....

But like... but like...

Then... then... what. are. those?! it's not funny he asked "Are you really my brother" in some light!

Ch 96: Random thoughts I take it back!! I TAKE IT BACK!!!

ANYWAY...

Finally got to see their reunion moment. T.T not really what I was hoping for... I was hoping to see them at the very least crying tears of joy, tightly embracing each other, falling to their knees...

BUT the bears are there.

Uhh… so it didn't take place on the same night included in the art we got of little Amane on the window

... let's laugh the pain away... I myself want to do just that. Why do you think Amane doesn't want to get separated from you, huh? Is it because he "hates" you?

... he is crying... oh boy...

Boy... calm- calm down... Tsukasa can't laugh the pain away anymore... neither can I...

BOY!!!

.............................................................................................................................

..............................................................................................................................

Was he so hurt to reach the point he said that? I mean... he didn't seem to like what No.1 said or voiced to want to do. He took a defensive act, sheltering Tsukasa.

WHY is it so hard for 2 boys to understand each other????

Thinking of something else! Quickly!!! I will leave thinking of this any further for later!!

...

I'm thinking of the future Amane gets to become a teacher within... is it similar to this ideal present or... it? It's confusing.

In this ideal future, teacher Amane should be around 60 years old... wow...

...

More importantly...

The KEY!! MR. KEY!! Is it with Nene in this ideal future or not??? It should be... not?

...

Why am I thinking the thing Tsukasa did in ch 21/22 with Nene will be important soon? Hmm....

Mr. Key!!!

Uh, the whole nowhere-everywhere space is... ??? Will it be used soon???

Present Tsukasa will ... ??? not ideal preset that isn't there

Hmm....

Let's put an end to things here.

*****

Adding more:

... You're never a fake in the eye of the one who truely loves and knows you well. They will see right through you, no matter what.

...

Right, Hanako-kun? That works for both you and Tsukasa. Don't live in a fantasy. accept who you really are, and who Tsukasa really is.

You have your precious moon rock that you claim to be real, and the "he" your mother shouted in the shrine can work for either you or your father, then you had Tsukasa as his yorishiro and all……

Even if you had your doubts, you were like: ok, my brother has REALLY changed, but I know it's still him.

At times I used to laugh to myself saying he loves his brother more than his own mother, seeing his mother calling Tsukasa "not her son", while Amane is not bothered, holding his hand in the family pic, enjoying spending time with him, even if no one wants him, even if he is just in the shadows, to Amane he is real, he is everything.

At the end of the day, he notices a lot, even before his mother herself or anyone does. The moment they are together again. Wow...

Then we hear him saying you're not my brother, you're a fake. I get it… it looks like Tsukasa really hurt him a lot, to the point maybe Amane is like: Tsukasa would never hurt me this much. I did forgive him in the past, I trusted him with all I have, I devoted myself to him, I cherished him, he is MY moon. But was I wrong? Seems so. It's time to stop struggling and living in denial.

You doubt my love for you? My want for us to stay together forever? Not to be separated? My loyalty to you? How offensive. How rude. You Hurt me so bad. Ok, I will do the same with you. I will doubt your "truth". You're not my brother, you're a fake.

Then, after saying that he is back to his protictive mood. Seems it was just a passing moment of hurt and anger? I hope so. It will have more to it, surely... uh...

I feel sorry for him. He faced a lot. He is already way too broken.

...

"I'm so happy to have you back" Well, it was nice while it lasted.

Was is supposed to be one identical to Nene's "I'm happy to have the "real" Aoi back"?

Well, kinda makes sense... if Tsukasa was convinced this love Amane shows for him or whatever, are not meant for "him". They are meant for the ideal version of himself Amane made up in his mind and wanted to have. The Tsukasa, his little brother, who he wanted to have.

Tragic.

Now it hurts twice as bad to see Tsukasa having Hanako voicing "you're not my brother. You're a fake."

Is he, Amane? Is he?

What's your standard in this judgment?

We need Yako's words of wisdom back.

*****

At least it feels like something... we're back to this "fake" thingy, I obviosuly roll my eyes at, with Tsukasa, Kou and Nene wondered about it at some point, then they magically forgot about it just like that, whenever Tsukasa was mentioed or she interacted with him.

*****

Teru and No.1... they seem to share the same view on things.

Both know Nene is fated with death and the cause of it. It's the same one to get the disasters they fear to happen happening in the first place. So, if they say her death is inevitable, so are the disasters.

Teru showed an indifference reaction to Nene's death in ch 28, now that's not the case, he showed to despise the 7 mysteries and call them evil and need to be gone, then he says twice they are the protectors of the land. So now, he is trying to stop whatever that might shake the balance of this peace.

No. 1 didn't show a reaction to Nene's case, merely observed things as Kaku said in ch 61, well... that can be because they control time, so they will react when the time is right. That is, not it seems.

Good to note, we got Nene getting asked some times to go see No.1 regarding her death case, she went to Akane of the present... at some point... Now Amane is in charge of things... hmm...

*****

... What is it that Akane might want Teru and Nene to do? Maybe he is more specific about Nene? Anyway, he said "As soon as you can move again", it kinda means 2 options to me.

1- there was time for the 4 to get back to normal before Kaku and Mirai change things.

Then, in that light Teru was supposed to take Nene there before things are changed.

2- It's the opposite, so he needs to get to her after Kaku and Mirai do their thing.

Which is supposed to mean once things are changed, Teru will keep his memories of what happened, being a as powerful, and he will go get Nene. So, Nene... I think she will remember things, too. She is special after all, according to some people saying that about her, including Teru himself.

If we followed the line of the first option, when Teru breaks free, the twins will do too, so... what if what I was thinking about was true, let's say they got a feeling something wrong will happen with time, since we're dealing with No.1, and then used the elevator Hanako can summon, I assume Tsukasa as well to be safe from whatever that may happen? In a place cut from reality of its own time and space... it's safe for them to be there? Then they can use it to go to any place they want.

But having the note of "time moves differently in No.1's boundary"... who really knows...

Maybe it's just wishful thinking?

12 y.o Tsukasa did tell Nene to use the clock... but does it mean present Tsukasa is only into that? He used the 'nowhere' many times before, especially during the severance. He is in charge of the No.1 thing, he must be super careful, right? He gets No.1's power after all.

Like... it's a fantasy of mine... Amane and Tsukasa shaking hands in there. Let's get things back to normal bro, then we can talk.

and around 60 years old Amane is a teacher in the school, doing whatever regarding the festival, in that ideal present. no Tsukasa to be seen. what a dull life you have old Amane. No Tsukasa, no Nene, I assume, she might just be his student. how can you manage?

Uh... my fantasies are countless regarding this issue. Uhh, present Tsukasa taking Nene... to solve things together...

she goes to 12 y.o Tsukasa maybe using the clock who knows... he is there waiting for her with his hand open "oh, you came to play with me, Nene-chan? let's play a game of time!" ...

a wild thing within me wanting to see both Tsukasa together... oh...

But I don't know... maybe we will have to go just by the second option, anyway. Let's have the first as one for fun.

*****

Speaking of the time changing... I wondered who would No. 7 be if it wasn't him… would be there a No.7? was there one before Hanako? from ch 95 it was kinda implied there used to be past numbers. But a No.7... hmm...

With this ideal present, the rest of the 7 don't seem to be affected, they don't have much to do with the twins, beside Tsuchigomori. Unless, he used to have another yorishiro before the rock?

If in this ideal present we came to the time Amane is a teacher, maybe Nene's teacher... it would be interesting to see how they might interact. Would they feel wired around each other in some way? Would then not really pay attention to each other... hmm...

*****

Is it weird of me to be thinking , this happening was naturally meant to happen, so we will reach the present we've always known? I mean, every single time you try to change things in this story, even with time travelling when you mean to change events (the Nene Kou red house thing, they just ended up making the present come true), and the times time travel happened with Nene without her meaning to change anything, it's all meant to happen.

However things will go, they will end up having the future changed to the present we've always had. They won't be erasing Tsukasa themselves; they will be moving Amane a step into killing him, then himself. boy, this happened in the story many times, Mermaid asking Nene to come join her side, of course Nene will refuse so things will go as they are supposed to, the p.p arc ending just as it started, the severance not resulting in any significant change, Tsukasa in the red house with Kou and Nene, and I assume, this time as well with No.1.

So, this future Tsuchigomori talked about that Amane changed, the one where he becomes a teacher and doesn't die young, it can be happening right now.

Now, we need to take Tsukasa's important question to Amane, he is repeatidly asking him imprtant questions regarding "want me to stay or disappear", so he can act accordinly, how special you are Amane, just saying, the one to tie this boy to earth. No.1 trying to change the past, Tsukasa's words last chapter about Amane never wanting to have the 2 of them separated, it speaks for itself.

We're not going to change anything, we're setting the present in stone, not any Ideal present, but the one we always knew.

Nothing much will change, Amane by the end of the road will end up killing Tsukasa and himself, become Hanako - san again. The story is back to the way it is, or rather, goes the way it's supposed to.

It's just like the severance thing, we try to change things, switch the life of 2 girls, by the end all of that was meant to happen, then be reversed, we keep going with the present we know.

Same will happen here I assume.

With this, all we are doing is plant a new seed into the twins' death, and toward this present we know too well.

All comes to this little comment present Tsukasa commented.

...

So, we're in for a treat to see how this came to life at some point?

After all, interacting with supernaturals and things beyond your understanding has its impacts.

Tsu ~ Tsu~ Tsu~.

Borrowing a little confession of mine... No. 7.

"I've been thinking about these 2 things a lot... put side by side...

"using a power you can't control will only lead to ruin"... "As the beginning of the Yugi family tragedy is finally unveiled"

Hanako seems to be talking from experience, maybe he is referring to himself, but also.. what if something similar was going on with Tsukasa, who got a huge amount of power while still little, in their past..."

Hmm...

Cool.

*****

I've always ignored the setting... saying maybe it was just an early manga error... but maybe it was intetional after all?

It's all ???????

*****

Thinking about the situation with Nene herself...

Nene's case is so confusing. Her future is based on this "Tsukasa" error in the first place, it's based on Tsukasa coming back and her meeting Hanako-san one day, having all that happened from the start until now happening. Her book has Hanako in it, has them in it. It has this present we had for all this time like……???

Shouldn't her book be originally based on the "ideal" present instead, like Amane's for example? Without changing, it's what we have in all these chapters in her book. She is fated with death later on, but in the ideal present No.1 want to make, really… she won't, at least the way of having Hanako-san and Tsukasa there.

Will she not die ever in that ideal present…? Or will she come to destroy the yorishiro another way? But if they are destroyed… the power they hold, where would it go? What original form would they come back to? If Tsukasa isn't there, if what's in him isn't there anymore? Since No.1 will git rid of what's in him and him?

From this ideal present, it seems to tell Tsukasa is fated to be gone. His job was to sacrifice himself so Amane could live and become Mr. teacher as his ideal future, and that's it, he will be in the house forever.

So, No.1 chose the year 1968, since it's the same one their clock got involved with the twins, with Amane trying to fix it. They connect to their clock, since the school's time is its and their job.

So yes, the time they can use effectively is that one, a time where both twins are students in the school and got involved with their clock. Cool.

Nene's fate, questionably, is similar to Tsukasa's. And I have to wonder how. If the ideal present is one where Amane lives. Nene's book comes… and it's based on the setting where Tsukasa comes back and gets killed so Hanako-san is there. How? She is connected to the twins. Or even better, maybe one of them for real.

Akane was told to look after whatever that may go wrong, so maybe... Nene being in the ideal present is wrong? one of the errors?

So now, I assume No.1 will use their powers back in that festival of the twins', maybe Nene will remember things, maybe use the clock herself in some way?, go meet 12 y.o Tsukasa who told her to come play with him again, uh... that one is funny... since he informed Nene of things when they already happened, so was he like "yeah, we dealt with it together Nene-chan, come play with me 'again'."

Uh... is ideal Nene and usual Nene the same girl btw?

..........................

I'm lost.

Time... playing with time is so ????????????????

Uh, the thing with Nene is as if we're back to the p.p arc again... but this time in reality, not in a picture. And I used to wonder why No.4 was mentioned in that arc... yeah... we're living in an ideal present this time, see what will Nene remember, do, act, accept, reject, etc.

Only the last moment of Mei walking to her death willingly... I don't know... will Nene go that way at some point herself? For real, not like in the severance?

Hmm...

An ideal present set on a Tsukasa issues, a perfect picture drawn on his order.

Wow.

Now, I will be thinking of these things, too.

Like... if what I said before about this ideal present naturally taking place in the usual present we've always known, then that little Tsukasa was being so cheeky asking No.4 to draw a "perfect picture".

To him, these stuff that will happen later on are on the past right? So, uh... was he kind of prepared it will happen at some point during his hunt for the yorishiro? It didn't that way... hmm...

Time is ????? Tsukasa himself is ?????? and surely enough, his deal with time always is ???????

Well... let's wait and see... let's wait and see...

******

Ehhh... just thinking about things with this...

Ch 101- Tsukasa asking Amane to decided whether he wants him to stay with him or if he would rather him disappearing. As if he knew what will be happening next, with No.1 coming after him. So, was he supposed to take back his decision to leave the red house to join Amane's side or not. He gave Amane the choice.

"It's about time you decide what you want, Amane."

Did Amane also know somehow what was going to happen, so that's why he was desperate to fix the clock before the festival ends? The specific timing is questionable.

Then, the keepers are there to do their job, things happened.

And Tsukasa reaches the point of seeing Nene back in time with Mit 2.0, due to what happened reflecting on the future, it seems he was aware she was coming and waiting for her to show up, and he tells her time went unstable, apparently due to what No.1 did or tried to do, and asks her to come play with him again.

This boy... I'm not sure that's how things went, we're missing with time and all, but this boy is something to never underestimate. That's what I'm trying to say.

I'm thinking about present Tsukasa, if this thing really happned in his "past", he should be aware of it taking place soon, right? Like the time with Nene and the key. He was aware, this day of school, I have to take her to the nowhere so she'll go see past Amane. So, was he ready for No.1's move? Hmm....

His deal with time is really something.

So, we have Tsuchigomori saying Amane somehow changed the future in his book...

Was it only him the direct reason behind the change? We have Kou, Nene, Tsukasa, No.1, ..., . playing rules in getting that change to happen.

Wow...

And then we have the nice comment of Tsukasa, "you still don't like it when we don't get to see each other. You've always been like that."

Hmm.

As if he didn't lose you before, so he won't want it to happen again no matter what after he got you back.

*****

Ok, thinking over the situation again for a bit... (can't use any pic since long ago, sadly, hit pic limit)

Thinking over the clock keeper's first little arc:

1- Mirai said when time is turned back it will feel as if nothing happened. Then Kaku pointed out those powerful supernatualrs or those high powers will be less affected.

2- Akane stopping one's time while time is brought back or changing won't affect them, as their time is stopped. (Kou)

Alright, following these...

He stopped the time of the 4, Hanako, Tsukasa, little Nene, Teru. Then asked the later to do some business with her.

So, as their time was stopped, they won't be "much" affected?

Hanako and Tsukasa, since we are changing things on their regard, so apparently we won't be having the 2 in the ideal present, but what if Tsukasa or the 2 broke free, and Tsukasa could teleport the 2 of them into the nowhere space? It's a space of its own time, not affected by what will be happening. That way, both will be safe. It's funny reminds me of how Hanako and Amane who dropped his key existed at the same moment. Same as there.

Well, that's just an assumptions based on another, so... let's talk about facts once more.

Back to Teru and Nene, we can say they will be special exceptions to what is going on. And, maybe we can also include curses, bonds.

Back when the severance took place, Teru made a remark of Akane's watch that ties him to the supernaturals and Nene's mermaid curse are still there. So, can we assume with this case, too, her bond and curse are still there? They are so powerful, right?

Same can go for another certain girl had a bond with Tsukasa, and her "Fate" is tied to his, same as Nene is to Hanako. if she was together with her dog in the nowhere already, would they be really affected by anything? I guess not.

So, can we say... for now... assuming it anyway, Nene, that girl, Teru, Akane (being the present clock keeper anyway) are special cases in this ideal preset. To which degree it is for the first 3 cases, I can't be so certain.

Speaking of Mr. key... No. 1 can affect the school's time, so they are trying to work things out with that limit. Get past student Tsukasa (what's in him) at the school the festival day Amane did something with the clock and change the present into the ideal one accordingly.

I wonder what the deal of Mr. key would be... is it with Nene, or back at her home?

If it is with her would it still be there or not?

If it's in her home, would it still be there or not?

Mr. key...

As we're missing with time, seeing No.1's yorishrio a key, then near the twins' hands, its usage finally seems to be on the horizon, at least I hope so.

We also had the little matching thingy of Teru asking Akane to deal with Kou when he comes to him to ask him do something about time, and a reverse of Akane doing the same with Teru regarding Nene. Pretty interesting. Have to keep an eye on that one, too.

Akane, Teru -Time- Nene, Kou.

But, have to be excited, as this time it's not any random interference with time, it's No.1 who are in charge of time themselves.

Then, after I don't know how many chapters, we'll be back to the usual story as we've known it.

*********************************************************************

Well, this "ideal" present No.1 trying to put in stone gives you some feelings...

On the Amane/Hanako, Nene and Tsukasa regards.

Nene's:

I'm a normal girl.

I want to live my "long" life in the world I know. (except her wanting it to be the world with Hanako-kun in it, as she voices out.)

Well, that "ideal" present works well with a part of her wishes. But will that really "satisfy" her or make her happy?

It seems she is given the chance. Be a normal girl, forget all about supernaturals stuff, live your life to its fullest, grow up, do all you wanted to later on, and here you are, in your real world. Just a different type of present, where Hanako- kun is not there with you, and Tsukasa - kun is also gone.

Would you "choose" to live that life? You want a life with Hanako-kun in it, huh?

Hanako -kun that you never wanted to kill anyone? To grow up and fulfil his dreams? Here he is. A grown-up teacher. Mr. Yugi Amane.

So?

Yugi Amane-kun can live, a normal life, be a teacher, get his dreams. Would he like that?

Again, living a life with no Tsukasa and Nene in it?

Tsukasa-kun, the boy who is ready to give up on himself and his wants, always, to ensure Amane gets what he wants.

I want to become healthy again, archive my dreams. You have it, I will sacrifice myself for you.

Want me to be stay or to disappear? I will kill you so you can stay. Sure thing.

I want to live a real life with you, Yashiro. Kay, the 2 of you, a normal happy life. Nice. I will sacrifice myself in the process.

Hmm…

What would these mean to him if his little brother is not there?

In both ways, ideal present, usual present, we'll have him sacrificing himself for Amane, and the 2 of them, thinking that will make them happy, they will live a nice life. But, think of their feelings more. Would they want a world without you in it?

Without love... without those you love with you... is this perfect life meaningful or worth it?

I assume this time, again, Nene will willingly destroy No.1's yorishiro at the end, to put an end to this ideal present. Have the usual 'better' present back.

////////

It's really something to see Nene put in a kind of trial of 'love and sacrfice'.

Having Amane/Hanako getting to have the future she wished he has, without her being a part of it. Will she accept it? what about her love for him? Will she give up on it for the sake of his “happiness”? Will she be willing to trade it without hesitation? Teacher Amane however, is this “happiness” even real to him? Does it mean anything to him? if he were not to have her and Tsukasa normally?

It’s just like what he did to her with the severance. He made the choice to erase himself from her life, to ensure she lives a long one and reaches her dreams. He took “love” away from her. Isn’t he the one she shouted “the person I love”. Now, she is facing just that. We’re trading “love” with supposedly bright “future”. The similarities are cool, aren’t they? In her case we traded “Aoi” and “Hanako”, and now in Amane’s case we trade “Tsukasa” and Nene".

*****************

Not only time that' is the issue at the moment, but also the wishes of some people, in a way, it feels as if both Nene, Amane, Hanako got what they wish for. I will talk really fast about it…

She wishes to be normal. There she is. Live in the real world. There she is. She wished Amane could get to his dreams, at one point "as if he never killed anyone", here he is! A "normal" teacher before your eyes. Do you want that kind of "ideal present"? Or do you want the same old present with all its hardships and Hanako-kun in it? Tsukasa -kun you got to know more into lately? Tsukasa – kun who is a big deal in Amane's life.

Amane, who wished since little to be this, he got it.

Hanako who wished Nene could live and all, there she is. Have a real life with here. There they are alive and all. The age gap doesn't really matter if they are willing to sacrifice a thing for their love. Yet? Would he want this? Does he want a life without Tsukasa? And if he were to not find it normal for him and Nene to be together, then it's with no Nene and no Tsukasa. only these ideal dreams of his nice job and he is alive. What is more important?

And Tsukasa, all the time, he is there to see his not a part of these ideal dreams. Never been asked directly for once to stay or told he is important. When 4, that was the case. When told Amane will kill him. he welcomed it. Now, for Hanako's "I wish to live a real life with you, '''''Yahsiro''''' " He is doing it. He goes for giving up on himself every single time.

Hmm… I see Nene, and maybe on a wishful thinking old Amane himself will reject this "ideal" present. She willingly destroys No.1's yorishiro, not bothered to be a step forward into her death, like she did with No.4's so we are back to how things were.

That can be one good lesson, huh? we're in a story about "love", a story to start with a wish to be loved, you're ready to sacrifice all else for love. We don't want whatever ideal dull life without love.

And, this ideal present can also be a nice way of showing Tsukasa's repetitive situation. In that ideal present he is naturally not there, and now in this present he is working to yet again disappear. The 2 will need to work so that won't happen, right? They get Tsukasa's "extreme value".

The p,p arc was fun on this regard, reflecting Amane's nice desires. Being Nene's classmate, a cool guy fitting for her type, etc. AND having his twin there. Tsukasa is right there!!! A reason why I love the depth of the 2 pages of Amane and Nene just turning around to look at him. yes. he needs to be there. don't let him go.

So, the 3 need to get past their struggles, have a clear state of mind on how they want things. Such ideal things in this ideal present isn't what they ask for, even though, on a surface level, it is.

So yes? let's change it. Amane doesn't want to go anywhere? Nene will get to her near death state of life? No Tsukasa? No Hanako-kun? Who wants to love a long life or whatever without that? without love? No way.

*********

Poor Amane… thinking about how much he struggled…

His name is there to say 'normal' but all that happened with him is far away from 'normal.

He wished for the a really normal life… yet…

"I just want to be with those I love" - the world is against you, you will lose them all the time.

"I want to try to control time so I can do that." - Time itself is against you.

"die so we can stay together." – not really effective.

….

It is really something… if we imagined at some point, maybe when the time got messed up in the festival, Amane did get a glimpse of how his "ideal" future is "supposed" to be, he becomes a teacher with no Tsukasa in his life, and then, knowing how it's supposed to become, he refused it. Willingly.

"I don't want that sort of future. I don’t want my dreams. I even don't want to live that way. I don’t want to go anywhere."

……

*********

Thinking a bit more about "teacher Amane".

Tsuchigomori pretended to be a human let’s say… since Amane’s time and before it, it seems. If we said he was at least 25 (human age, to normal people) at that time… now he should sound like an old man around 75 years old. Does he look like that?

So maybe… old men in this story still look young… or maybe it’s due to that being another form of a supernatural… but maybe we will still see a 60 y.o really hansom teacher? I wonder if girls will be like… "oh, our teacher is blah blah blah." I also imagined the thing of… since it’s an ideal present and all… rewritten present… what if in this present Nene wasn’t a student of his and all and they really went past each other like that, let’s say she remembers but still… it will be hard for her. Also, it's Hanako-kun she wants to be with and confess to, right?

And if… in that present the 2 naturally shared a good relationship... if they crossed paths in the festival, teacher Amane will smile at her and pat her head, asks if she is having fun……. now that is lighter than the previous but still just as hard……… like… will she be like his daughter…..?

I'm really looking froward to see teacher Amane, Nene coping with the ideal present and that version of him all together. It's pretty exciting.

*********

Thinking about No.1 and Tsukasa's situation...

Isn't it something No.1 who are like puppets moved the way the world needs, carry on the logic of the world, etc are after the one to stand on sharp contract to the world? The one to defy it?

Uh, Tsukasa is a true mastermind. For days I’ve been wondering… what if Tsukasa is yet again playing another game with No.1?

/at the start he took Nene to destroy the yorishiro, seemingly got defeated but, he was acting and only waiting for the right moment to attack.

/seemed to be put under No.1's mercy during the court, turned out, it was the opposite. /?seemingly let his guard down after getting into his chat with Amane after asking Nene to do her job once again.

/?then seemingly get things going out of his hands with No.1 turning back time to change the present, seeing he is the root of the problem.

Thing is… What if this yet again is a second part of his plan to get No.1’s yorishiro destroyed?

-what if he knows what he is doing will lead No.1 into turning back time in the first place? Going to his advantage of setting the past in stone (like in the severance case) and having their yorishiro destroyed by Nene (willingly now) in the process like in No.4’s case and in a way No.6’s?

He gets what he wants from his game that way. In fact, he is the one who let this information of: I’m the one after this, in the first place to them. pretty much “luring” No.1 into doing what he wants, after they "understand" things. While they think they are doing what they want. Since, they are the ones to rule time after all, he knows how they work.

Tsukasa: hate to break it, but while you guys think what you’re doing is up to your own free will and against me, you’re being little good puppets in my hands, working for my sake all along. ~ it’s funny in a way, present them to be like… robots… Kaku with that puppet place… they are ruled by time instead of really ruling it, and it seems Tsukasa-puppet master, too

If that really was the case… then wow, Tsukasa. wow. you’re WOW. As expected of a Tsukasa. *clapping hard* I will praise you to no end if that was the case. He is playing with them, putting his own 'past' existence at risk (not really) doesn't remind of the severance at all with his also 'playing' with his past self. He is a fan of risky games, isn’t he? Always has been. Him and his games. 💜 His deal with No.1 reminds me of N.4’s case, the circumstances of the cases are really similar. One of then is that in No.4’s, he was the one after asking her to draw a pic in the first place, with No.1 he destroyed their clock to have them moving. He does what’s necessary with every case. Admirable. This boy……..

So, both Tsukasas are playing. Tsu rn lures No.1 into changing the past, to have them ending up with setting it in stone. ~ While 12 y.o is really... chill about the whole thing, assumigly knowing it will happen, and just singing isntead, before going to ask Nene to play 'again' with him. ~ How cheeky. Sly foxie. I mean, sorry… this boy is always full of surprises. Like if we said that wasn’t on his mind from the start, he can come up with plans at the spot, it’s easy for him.

let’s search over the boudary it’s inside of them let’s ‘force’ Nene to destroy it let’s allow them to change time, that will get Nene to do it willingly, and time will be 'fixed’. 2 birds with one stone. Let’s not forget his deal with the clock to force them to move, I assume it was a mean to have them going for a court, and later on to try to stop him, doing what they did last chapter.

It all brings me back to he wanted that to happen. Again, I’m left with… no one understands Tsukasa better than a Tsukasa. 12 y.o Tsu… and this Tsu will be the end of me. Uhh………… Such force………….. magnificent. How are we supposed to get around or understand his grace?????? Oh. *shakes Amane’s hand for the 100 time on this regard* let’s do our best to understand Tsukasa more!!!

*******

Akane...

I wonder... what that "try not to die" he said means.

Naturally, you won't die in a boudary, right? Unless that meant, he wll have to get about at some point, and leave the clcok behind?

Who will be the ones to go after him? The 2 with Tsukasa? hmm... nat? His blood power doesn't affect humans. Or maybe... it affects Akane in his supernatural from. Hmm, he can use his power in his human form, like what he did with No.6, if given the chance to do that. That way, assuming "blood" is the only thing nat can use against him, there is a big chance Akane can hold himself against him.

To be honest, I really don't care. When it's a matter of a the 2. But having things to do with Akane, I'm a bit intersted. Thinking back to their "talk" over the yorishro, and Aoi's hand.

Which is... in this present... "healed" or rather, didn't get damahed in the first place.

Hmm... can this be how Akane fulfils his promise to her? I don't think so. Given he promised to be the one to do that. And keeping in mind, at one point we will be back to the usual present. Can he do something while this situaton takes place, if given the right chance to achieve that?

*******

"Tsukasa. Mr. Key. Nene"

Still waiting to see something gets done about that little thing.

Imagining yorishiro Tsukasa going to Nene, asking her to get out the key, saying it's time to use it. And from there, she keeps going back and forth between yorishiro Tsukasa, and 12 y.o Tsukasa until they achieve what they want on getting things back on track. Via the nowhere place, clock, ... . Interesting to think about for a moment. Since this arc seems to focus on the 2 of them pretty much.

#ch 111 #some “super messy” random thoughts #jshk

***Ch 111***

As always, just talking fast about a few things.

So yeah, I thought No.1 were testing things and all, so they can move accordingly.

Uh, finally it's confirmed what's within Tsukasa is Sumire's village entity. Feels good.

Laughed a lot at Tsukasa (what's in him) being shown as the "root" to what's going on, according to No.1. Like... I'm so shocked you know. Never expected such a twist. No. ~ Not ever. ~

So... what does it exactly mean to establish a new "present"???

Like...

It's not like we are just merely back in time. Things changed.

Aoi's appearance is so questionable to me. I always assumed she kept her hair down due to her hand being damaged from her experience near the far shore. But now, that doesn't seem to be the case?

Following that line, if we assumed Aoi's hand is alright, then she was never scarified, meaning the severance never happened, meaning what had led to it happening never took place......

Wasn't it having near half the yorishiros down? I mean, that's what led No.6 to move to deal with what was going on back then, sacrificing Aoi in the progress.

Nene's lifespan? I mean???? In this present she won't die basically.

They are going back to that time so they will "eliminate" a Tsukasa that never exists??? That's still in the red house or something???

Thing is, why didn't Mirai and Kaku go back to the day of the twins' birthday instead? Or before Tsukasa made the deal with what's in him. You're after the "root" of the events?

.............

Hmm.... maybe not 'that' clock.

Are you hiding something??? Your attitude is sus.

But in the ideal presnet, none of this happned? I mean, she never was with Mit 2.0, he is not even there, never went back in time to see Tsukasa.

I'm so in love with those eyes, but I can't trust what's hidden beneath them. You and your games. ♡

According to the ideal present, he shouldn't be there? Hmm... the "root" must be there for No.1 to deal with him.

I will assume it is about what Kaku mentioned about Akane taking care of things until they set the ideal present in stone? Before they get to do that, things are "not" exactly that way.

Hey, No.1.. get to this guy any time you want, just not during his singing section, do you hear me?

Is it... a bad omen after all? Is is surprising knowing the type this story is?

So yeah, I'm just confused, if anything. And most likely, I'm just overreacting. Don't mind me. XD

*****

Little note on Tsukasa and his games -with Nene:

Ahem,

First time they played together was in the red house when he was 4.

So, having 12 y.o Tsukasa asking Nene to come play with him again, feels legit.

But...

What does "again" really means?

What if Nene played a game of time with him 'and forgot?' a little before meeting him once more and having him saying this "again"?

Hmm... so I wonder whether this "again" refers to the red house play time, or actually her playing with 12 y.o Tsukasa 'before' so that makes it 'again'...

It's the same boy who told her "of course I'm Tsukasa kun" "Amane's twin" when little and then as a ghost went with it again as if it never happened before, for the sake oh Nene who is confused.

*****

But if anything, I will laugh because this ideal present has a fun thing within it... that is...

Never reached this point. XDDD

No, they didn't move a single step forward in what she wants. How sad. ~~~~

For now, I will enjoy it while it lasts, before things are back to the original path.

Yeah, right now... I don't really... have it in me to be so emotional over the start of the chapter. It's as if it never happened. At least in this ideal present.

*sigh* I'm lying.

... But wow, didn't really expect the same thoughts of his mother where in his head, too..... or my expectations of such a case were really low...it's too much....

But like... but like...

Then... then... what. are. those?! it's not funny he asked "Are you really my brother" in some light!

Ch 96: Random thoughts I take it back!! I TAKE IT BACK!!!

ANYWAY...

BUT the bears are there.

Uhh… so it didn't take place on the same night included in the art we got of little Amane on the window

... let's laugh the pain away... I myself want to do just that. Why do you think Amane doesn't want to get separated from you, huh? Is it because he "hates" you?

... he is crying... oh boy...

Boy... calm- calm down... Tsukasa can't laugh the pain away anymore... neither can I...

BOY!!!

.............................................................................................................................

..............................................................................................................................

Was he so hurt to reach the point he said that? I mean... he didn't seem to like what No.1 said or voiced to want to do. He took a defensive act, sheltering Tsukasa.

WHY is it so hard for 2 boys to understand each other????

Thinking of something else! Quickly!!! I will leave thinking of this any further for later!!

...

I'm thinking of the future Amane gets to become a teacher within... is it similar to this ideal present or... it? It's confusing.

In this ideal future, teacher Amane should be around 60 years old... wow...

...

More importantly...

The KEY!! MR. KEY!! Is it with Nene in this ideal future or not??? It should be... not?

...

Why am I thinking the thing Tsukasa did in ch 21/22 with Nene will be important soon? Hmm....

Mr. Key!!!

Uh, the whole nowhere-everywhere space is... ??? Will it be used soon???

Present Tsukasa will ... ??? not ideal preset that isn't there

Hmm....

Let's put an end to things here.

*****

Adding more:

... You're never a fake in the eye of the one who truely loves and knows you well. They will see right through you, no matter what.

...

Right, Hanako-kun? That works for both you and Tsukasa. Don't live in a fantasy. accept who you really are, and who Tsukasa really is.

You have your precious moon rock that you claim to be real, and the "he" your mother shouted in the shrine can work for either you or your father, then you had Tsukasa as his yorishiro and all……

Even if you had your doubts, you were like: ok, my brother has REALLY changed, but I know it's still him.

At the end of the day, he notices a lot, even before his mother herself or anyone does. The moment they are together again. Wow...

Then, after saying that he is back to his protictive mood. Seems it was just a passing moment of hurt and anger? I hope so. It will have more to it, surely... uh...

I feel sorry for him. He faced a lot. He is already way too broken.

...

"I'm so happy to have you back" Well, it was nice while it lasted.

Was is supposed to be one identical to Nene's "I'm happy to have the "real" Aoi back"?

Tragic.

Now it hurts twice as bad to see Tsukasa having Hanako voicing "you're not my brother. You're a fake."

Is he, Amane? Is he?

What's your standard in this judgment?

We need Yako's words of wisdom back.

*****

Teru and No.1... they seem to share the same view on things.

Good to note, we got Nene getting asked some times to go see No.1 regarding her death case, she went to Akane of the present... at some point... Now Amane is in charge of things... hmm...

*****

... What is it that Akane might want Teru and Nene to do? Maybe he is more specific about Nene? Anyway, he said "As soon as you can move again", it kinda means 2 options to me.

1- there was time for the 4 to get back to normal before Kaku and Mirai change things.

Then, in that light Teru was supposed to take Nene there before things are changed.

2- It's the opposite, so he needs to get to her after Kaku and Mirai do their thing.

But having the note of "time moves differently in No.1's boundary"... who really knows...

Maybe it's just wishful thinking?

Like... it's a fantasy of mine... Amane and Tsukasa shaking hands in there. Let's get things back to normal bro, then we can talk.

Uh... my fantasies are countless regarding this issue. Uhh, present Tsukasa taking Nene... to solve things together...

she goes to 12 y.o Tsukasa maybe using the clock who knows... he is there waiting for her with his hand open "oh, you came to play with me, Nene-chan? let's play a game of time!" ...

a wild thing within me wanting to see both Tsukasa together... oh...

But I don't know... maybe we will have to go just by the second option, anyway. Let's have the first as one for fun.

*****

With this ideal present, the rest of the 7 don't seem to be affected, they don't have much to do with the twins, beside Tsuchigomori. Unless, he used to have another yorishiro before the rock?

*****

So, this future Tsuchigomori talked about that Amane changed, the one where he becomes a teacher and doesn't die young, it can be happening right now.

We're not going to change anything, we're setting the present in stone, not any Ideal present, but the one we always knew.

It's just like the severance thing, we try to change things, switch the life of 2 girls, by the end all of that was meant to happen, then be reversed, we keep going with the present we know.

Same will happen here I assume.

With this, all we are doing is plant a new seed into the twins' death, and toward this present we know too well.

All comes to this little comment present Tsukasa commented.

...

So, we're in for a treat to see how this came to life at some point?

After all, interacting with supernaturals and things beyond your understanding has its impacts.

Tsu ~ Tsu~ Tsu~.

Borrowing a little confession of mine... No. 7.

"I've been thinking about these 2 things a lot... put side by side...

"using a power you can't control will only lead to ruin"... "As the beginning of the Yugi family tragedy is finally unveiled"

Hmm...

Cool.

*****

I've always ignored the setting... saying maybe it was just an early manga error... but maybe it was intetional after all?

It's all ???????

*****

Thinking about the situation with Nene herself...

So, No.1 chose the year 1968, since it's the same one their clock got involved with the twins, with Amane trying to fix it. They connect to their clock, since the school's time is its and their job.

So yes, the time they can use effectively is that one, a time where both twins are students in the school and got involved with their clock. Cool.

Akane was told to look after whatever that may go wrong, so maybe... Nene being in the ideal present is wrong? one of the errors?

Uh... is ideal Nene and usual Nene the same girl btw?

..........................

I'm lost.

Time... playing with time is so ????????????????

Only the last moment of Mei walking to her death willingly... I don't know... will Nene go that way at some point herself? For real, not like in the severance?

Hmm...

An ideal present set on a Tsukasa issues, a perfect picture drawn on his order.

Wow.

Now, I will be thinking of these things, too.

To him, these stuff that will happen later on are on the past right? So, uh... was he kind of prepared it will happen at some point during his hunt for the yorishiro? It didn't that way... hmm...

Time is ????? Tsukasa himself is ?????? and surely enough, his deal with time always is ???????

Well... let's wait and see... let's wait and see...

******

Ehhh... just thinking about things with this...

"It's about time you decide what you want, Amane."

Did Amane also know somehow what was going to happen, so that's why he was desperate to fix the clock before the festival ends? The specific timing is questionable.

Then, the keepers are there to do their job, things happened.

This boy... I'm not sure that's how things went, we're missing with time and all, but this boy is something to never underestimate. That's what I'm trying to say.

His deal with time is really something.

So, we have Tsuchigomori saying Amane somehow changed the future in his book...

Was it only him the direct reason behind the change? We have Kou, Nene, Tsukasa, No.1, ..., . playing rules in getting that change to happen.

Wow...

And then we have the nice comment of Tsukasa, "you still don't like it when we don't get to see each other. You've always been like that."

Hmm.

As if he didn't lose you before, so he won't want it to happen again no matter what after he got you back.

*****

Ok, thinking over the situation again for a bit... (can't use any pic since long ago, sadly, hit pic limit)

Thinking over the clock keeper's first little arc:

1- Mirai said when time is turned back it will feel as if nothing happened. Then Kaku pointed out those powerful supernatualrs or those high powers will be less affected.

2- Akane stopping one's time while time is brought back or changing won't affect them, as their time is stopped. (Kou)

Alright, following these...

He stopped the time of the 4, Hanako, Tsukasa, little Nene, Teru. Then asked the later to do some business with her.

So, as their time was stopped, they won't be "much" affected?

Well, that's just an assumptions based on another, so... let's talk about facts once more.

Back to Teru and Nene, we can say they will be special exceptions to what is going on. And, maybe we can also include curses, bonds.

I wonder what the deal of Mr. key would be... is it with Nene, or back at her home?

If it is with her would it still be there or not?

If it's in her home, would it still be there or not?

Mr. key...

As we're missing with time, seeing No.1's yorishrio a key, then near the twins' hands, its usage finally seems to be on the horizon, at least I hope so.

Akane, Teru -Time- Nene, Kou.

But, have to be excited, as this time it's not any random interference with time, it's No.1 who are in charge of time themselves.

Then, after I don't know how many chapters, we'll be back to the usual story as we've known it.

*********************************************************************

Well, this "ideal" present No.1 trying to put in stone gives you some feelings...

On the Amane/Hanako, Nene and Tsukasa regards.

Nene's:

I'm a normal girl.

I want to live my "long" life in the world I know. (except her wanting it to be the world with Hanako-kun in it, as she voices out.)

Well, that "ideal" present works well with a part of her wishes. But will that really "satisfy" her or make her happy?

Would you "choose" to live that life? You want a life with Hanako-kun in it, huh?

Hanako -kun that you never wanted to kill anyone? To grow up and fulfil his dreams? Here he is. A grown-up teacher. Mr. Yugi Amane.

So?

Yugi Amane-kun can live, a normal life, be a teacher, get his dreams. Would he like that?

Again, living a life with no Tsukasa and Nene in it?

Tsukasa-kun, the boy who is ready to give up on himself and his wants, always, to ensure Amane gets what he wants.

I want to become healthy again, archive my dreams. You have it, I will sacrifice myself for you.

Want me to be stay or to disappear? I will kill you so you can stay. Sure thing.

I want to live a real life with you, Yashiro. Kay, the 2 of you, a normal happy life. Nice. I will sacrifice myself in the process.

Hmm…

What would these mean to him if his little brother is not there?

Without love... without those you love with you... is this perfect life meaningful or worth it?

I assume this time, again, Nene will willingly destroy No.1's yorishiro at the end, to put an end to this ideal present. Have the usual 'better' present back.

////////

It's really something to see Nene put in a kind of trial of 'love and sacrfice'.

*****************

Not only time that' is the issue at the moment, but also the wishes of some people, in a way, it feels as if both Nene, Amane, Hanako got what they wish for. I will talk really fast about it…

Amane, who wished since little to be this, he got it.

*********

Poor Amane… thinking about how much he struggled…

His name is there to say 'normal' but all that happened with him is far away from 'normal.

He wished for the a really normal life… yet…

"I just want to be with those I love" - the world is against you, you will lose them all the time.

"I want to try to control time so I can do that." - Time itself is against you.

"die so we can stay together." – not really effective.

….

"I don't want that sort of future. I don’t want my dreams. I even don't want to live that way. I don’t want to go anywhere."

……

*********

Thinking a bit more about "teacher Amane".

I'm really looking froward to see teacher Amane, Nene coping with the ideal present and that version of him all together. It's pretty exciting.

*********

Thinking about No.1 and Tsukasa's situation...

Isn't it something No.1 who are like puppets moved the way the world needs, carry on the logic of the world, etc are after the one to stand on sharp contract to the world? The one to defy it?

Uh, Tsukasa is a true mastermind. For days I’ve been wondering… what if Tsukasa is yet again playing another game with No.1?

/at the start he took Nene to destroy the yorishiro, seemingly got defeated but, he was acting and only waiting for the right moment to attack.

/?then seemingly get things going out of his hands with No.1 turning back time to change the present, seeing he is the root of the problem.

Thing is… What if this yet again is a second part of his plan to get No.1’s yorishiro destroyed?

*******

Akane...

I wonder... what that "try not to die" he said means.

Naturally, you won't die in a boudary, right? Unless that meant, he wll have to get about at some point, and leave the clcok behind?

To be honest, I really don't care. When it's a matter of a the 2. But having things to do with Akane, I'm a bit intersted. Thinking back to their "talk" over the yorishro, and Aoi's hand.

Which is... in this present... "healed" or rather, didn't get damahed in the first place.

*******

"Tsukasa. Mr. Key. Nene"

Still waiting to see something gets done about that little thing.
