Thoughts On The New TBHK Chapter!
So.
The new chapter was a huge rollercoaster.
I’ve been happily stimming for hours and I will continue doing so.
It’s always so shocking when Tsukasa just appears out of nowhere. Like Nene and Hanako’s times have been stopped, they are frozen, don’t know what to do and are scared. Can’t breathe blink move twitch, nothing-
AND THEN BOOM, MAKE WAY FOR THE BEAUTIFUL BOY TSUKASA!!
He always appears when it’s Nene and Hanako too now, like that one scene where Hanako was comforting Nene about the near death thing ( I don’t feel like pulling up the chapter number or anything but hopefully you get what I’m talking about ).
Tsukasa is explaining the whole end for Kamome thing, like instead of ‘end of the world’ it’s only Kamome right now, since everyone is going to be stuck in time while the world moves on without them. Like with the red house, how its time is far different from the outside world. It has nothing to do with what is going on in the world, it’s just to itself.
Again, It still is kind of surprising to see Tsukasa so casual about this.
He keeps smiling, fiddling with the things that used to be in the clock, just explaining away without a care in the world.
He is the most idgaf person I’ve ever seen somehow.
He also doesn’t know what neither Hanako or Nene is thinking, he doesn’t know if they are going to save the day or not. Usually that is what they do, and Tsukasa sees that all the time as their ‘arch nemesis’. But right now, they are stuck and helpless.
He’s excited by the unpredictable-ness that’s going on. Tsukasa has done a lot of stuff on and off the camera, either impulsively or stuff that is totally in his control, or what he knows of. But that’s not the case here, because everything is going down, and the main protagonist don’t know how to go about it.
I love how Tsukasa is just admiring all of this. His brother and Nene frozen in time, admiring both of their expression, trying to guess what their thinking.
Sitting cross cross apple sauce in front of the main main protagonist. The hopeful one, the one that always finds a way around terrible outcomes, ever since the show began.
He wonders what she’s gonna do, since she has so much power over everything, can actually change the story and strategize and bend the story how she pleases.
( I think Tsukasa knows that somehow, someway, once Nene knows Sakura is up to no good she’s definitely going to find a way to twist Sakura’s plan around. Totally admirable personality. Tsukasa is intrigued. )
I wonder if he’s also thinking about what to do, what to do now that the main characters are stuck and helpless. What to do. Maybe he’s thinking if this is his chance to-
I feel like this wasn’t done for no reason. Like, not just to mess with Amane, since he can’t do anything about it. Maybe not to just see someone’s reaction.
I feel like he has planned this beforehand. Not the end of Kamaome thing, not Hanako and Nene being stuck so badly. The kiss.
I feel like he just popped up, saw that his brother and his brother’s assistant were totally frozen stiff, and was like “Oh, wait a second, this is totally a perfect time to do what I’ve always wanted!!”
Because one thing about Tsukasa is that he’s so into romance if you think about it.
He’s always gazing at people fall in love with others. The Kamome students, adults, everyone.
I feel that he is fascinated by it.
He’s always asking for a kiss from his assistant ( Seeing that Amane kissing his assistant all the time ). Always asking people if they are dating the other, like Nene with Hanako or Kou with Mitsuba and Nene.
Tsukasa probably always wonders about romance. Romantic stuff, ect.
He’s probably saw Amane always kissing, teasing, being romantic with his assistant, and thinks that he should also be that way with Sakura.
But seeing Sakura not wanting to be that way. Like, hmm, then who else to be romantic with??
He’s probably been planning this. This was something he’s been waiting for, his opportunity to be with Nene, kiss her like his brother does, and get all giddy about the fact that HE WAS ABLE TO DO IT!
HE WAS ABLE TO BE ROMANTIC!!!
YAY, HE DID IT. Applause, applause 👏🏽 👏🏽!
He was actually excited too 😭.
Pulls away from the kiss, takes a mili-second to process what he’s just done. AND GETS EXCITED!
Flapping his hands for a minute, “I KISSED HER, I KISSED HER OMMMGGGGGG-“
Totally how he was feeling.
Him, Tsukasa, reacting to his actions like this is totally rare. Has never seen this before.
Again, he does this a lot, he does a lot of things in his lifetime and after-lifetime.
We’ve never seen him get so excited about what he’s done though. He always expects it to go smoothly, always determined he can do something.
But get flustered my the fact that he actually was able to do it, do something he’s never been able to do before, happy stimming and everything reflecting on his actions like this??? This is new.
This was definitely planned.
It’s like when your friend wants to talk to their crush, wants to do something with someone they admire. Then preps for it like, forever, but never does it.
AND THEN FINALLY DOES IT.
And is extremely happy the they were so brave.
Applause for the braveness Tsukasa.
He’s never been romantic with anyone before, and when he finally does it, BUTTERFLIES AND SQUEALS! HORRAY FOR TSUKASA!!
So proud.
Also, he definitely wants Nene to be his assistant for something. This is probably the start of the Tsunene era. Like, Tsukasa will finally show he his and Amane’s past, and Nene will definitely try to do something.
She still had that rocket key too, from the early chapters where she walks in on Amane crying, he drops his keys, and she takes them.
I feel like Tsukasa is planning on Nene to do something about the key, he probably knows she had it. Because in the tea party arc, he totally just come out of nowhere, kidnaps her, has a nice little tea party and then sends her to another place. The everywhere and nowhere place.
I feel like he planned to sent her there to go to that door where she finds the key. He’s smart, he can actually do stuff and do it logically, do stuff smartly, have it planned out precisely.
Hanako is absolutely speechless. And his hakujoudais are worried.
He wasn’t even able to fully see what was going on! He just knows, somehow, Tsukasa’s face was close to Nene’s. Heard the “mwah” and was like WHATTTT??? WHAT IS GOING ON, I CAN’T SEE!!!????
He knew something was going on, he knew they were kissing, but he couldn’t see it! So sad.
His hakujoudai is also just as surprised. They circle around him, wondering if he’s ok.
It’s always funny to see his hakujoudai react to something. I feel like they are their own things, their own entity. They have feelings? They can react to things however they please.
Honestly I wish Tsukasa’s kokujoudai did that. I’ve never seen them react to anything! Not in their own way, not sweat, beam, anything!
I wish I could see that.
AKANE BRO 💀.
HE ALWAYS LOOKS SO FUNNY, SO REALISTIC!
He reacts to things so realistically, he’s so funny, the funniest character in TBHK!
“Hey, um, no.7 wtf is wrong with you?”
The blank face and everything, seeing one of the strongest supernatural he’s ever met cry, can’t move and utterly helpless.
Priceless reaction. Akane never fails to make me laugh.
But Hanako is also funny.
The way he’s just crying over something like this.
His brother kissed and stole his assistant, and he cries, not being able to do anything about it.
It’s funny because, it’s nothing terrible!
It’s not gruesome, like he’s seeing one of his friends getting ripped apart limb by limb. It’s nothing tragic, like Nene finally dying.
It’s Tsukasa stealing Nene away, claiming she’s his assistant now.
That’s what to cry about.
So sad.
And the fact that they are literally stuck in time and so will every other person in Kamome soon. And he’s left alone, lonely, without Nene. And Nene is with Tsukasa. Hanako must be thinking that he’s now lonely forever. Not Kou, Tsukasa, Nene, not even Mitsuba will be with him at the end of Kamome.
Hanako’s just shook, absolutely flabbergasted, bewildered. Nobody would have guessed his younger brother would be so romantic like that, and he is now. But it was so shocking!
So unpredictable!!
This scene will be the most surprising scene of all TBHK. To me at least.
I’ve never reacted to any other scene in TBHK the way I reacted to this.
Instead of trying to sue Aidalro just because a 13 year old boy had finally gotten a kiss. Aidalro needs more than a congrats. They should get the biggest hug ever.
This was so unpredictable and exhilarating. To me at least. And all the other Tsunene shippers. Let us be happy please 😭.
AND ALSO. Tsukasa mentions back in the day Amane used to try fixing the clock! And then explains that whoever gets the power of the clock, they can control the time in Kamome.
Was Amane trying to control the time, and why?
Bravo Aidalro!
