Hi I’m Anna! Main fandom: Tears of Themis, 18trip, Tokyo debunker and akuneko Nice to meet you! :D

[yogurtflureblu]

Leo seems so attached to Alan😭 I love how they're posting pictures of all the houses!!

Seeing this picture makes me want to know Leo's past so much ( I will continue to hate him)

[tokutaiseichan]

Elias is the most suspicious out of this lineup because he has the least emotional attachment to MC.

Well... he and Ritsu, tbh. But Ritsu is too 馬鹿正直 to play mind games.

Haku and Sho likes MC enough to not want to put her in harm's way.

Alan is the kind who will feel responsible over someone weaker than him. Plus he's a terrible liar.

Taiga is... a wild card. He's taken a liking to MC but I don't think it's enough to warrant the kind of protection Haku, Sho, or Alan can provide. Especially not in the current situation.

!!Thoughts and theories about Akuneko Part 6: episode 5, chapter 1/15!!

Okay, I'll get straight to the point

but what the hell happened??????

I mean, okay, they confronted Zepal and he regained his memories, etc., but what about the leader of the angels???? Who's the same as Goetia???? But it's not really him since he refers to his body as a vessel or something like that...

And I cried a lot at the comparison between Miyaji, Lucas, Berrien, and Zepal😭

AND ZEPAL WHO SACRIFICED HIMSELF TO SAVE FLURE???

But okay, thank goodness they managed to get back to shore safe and sound!!!!

But afterward "Goetia" and Zepal fought on the ground and I loved Zepal so much who was trying in every way to make Flure escape😭 (cried for the second time)

but apparently Flure has demonized himself and the others have come to save him

But now you have to explain this to me: did "Goetia" see a new body in Berrien? And how could he perceive Berrien's demon?

Obviously, it seems clear that that angel isn't Goetia (not like Zepal) but that some entity has taken possession of him(?)

In my opinion, Goetia is possessed by a demon but this wouldn't make sense since he is an angel, but I wonder if by chance the real Goetia knew that this would happen and that Muu has a role in all this

and this is not entirely clear to me either, but did Flure manage to release his powers on his own?

anyway after Flure is saved, Flure decides to have a funeral for Zepal a second time and FLURE DON'T WORRY I'LL HUG YOU WHILE YOU CRY😭😭

anyway the episode ends with Throne and Seraphim wanting to destroy the hot air balloon or whatever they have in mind

Ultimately, I'm not entirely sure if Crowther becomes a new butler, but I don't know.

Things happened so quickly that I'm still very confused (in fact, I was very disappointed by the demonization of Flure, because in my opinion it was dealt with too quickly compared to the others, and Zepal lasted a relatively short time)

but in the end I think that "Goetia" knows something about Belial and that Berrien is in the middle of all this

BREAKING NEWS ANOTHER TAROT CARD HAS HIT THE BLOG!! THIS SHIT AINT OVER YET!!! oh my god i'm so excited. my little gremlin gemini twin has a tarot card LETS GO

vague season 2 spoilers below

the art style looks just BARELY slightly different so i'm wondering if they did these retroactively. but ANYWAYS DOESNT MATTER

we have the counterpart to haru's sun :)

shion genkai - the moon

super fascinated by that background there, but lets talk about what the card means first!

the moon card is one that first and foremost represents illusion and uncertainty. hi shion welcome to the card fitting too well club. the og tarot card has imagery of a dog on either side, of two towers bordering the path, of reflections in the water--there's two sides of everything. it represents being awake and being asleep, the duality of your feral side and also being civilized, it represents truth and lies. if the moon is coming up in a general reading, then there could be something that is hidden from you, or something being kept from you, and you need to seek out the answer and the truth.

when this card comes up in more specific readings with a question, like a love reading or a career reading for example, it represents uncertainty. there's something about the current situation that's making you feel unstable or unsure, and you need to look inwards to find what's causing those feelings. your environment can be full of misunderstandings, emotions are complicated, and it's important to take a step back and look inwards to "clear the waters," so to speak.

the main point of the card is illusion. something is not clear, something is a trick of the light, something is a lie, and you need to do some work to get to the bottom of things.

hellooooooooo lil gremlin this card is perfect for you!!!

shion's entire thing from the get go has been illusions, as has been dionysia. it's heavily implied he's the mermaid (his form being an illusion) and he does card tricks and move things around. there's emotional turmoil between him and haru and also the sinostra ghouls.

i love this card for him so much, esPECIALLY the background!! we can see the reflection of the moon in the water, another allusion to the illusions this card represents. it also, interestingly enough, is drawn to look like a glitch. that's a fascinating design choice in my opinion

happy pride month from me and my gemini twin!!!

[pluckpleepplop]

Me every junebride event:

[yogurtflureblu]

noooo they gave me Teddy when I wanted Flure😭

[yogurtflureblu]

!!Thoughts and theories about Tokyo Debunker Season 2 episode 5 part one!!

Ok sooooo

I wasn't expecting an episode like this???

I mean, last year's episode of waves of love was less about death games and more about love

so I really didn't expect it to be like this 😂

First things: who is the anonymous person who gave that tip to Darkwick??? At first I thought it was the one with the mask but later it turns out to be the anonymous person so idk

but I was very happy to see the TV crew again😂

And omg was this the bride from last episode????? She is so cute😭

If that were the case, I'd think that perhaps the members of Dionysia are the cause of this time loop's different?

I mean, in this time loop Maya didn't die because she left her boyfriend because of the ring incident caused by the Dionysia members

BUT!!! Let's move on to the chosen contestants

-Sho is so gorgeous omg😭 but I wanted Leo!!!!

-Ritsu swear it was the most unlikely choice that could have been made, but Ritsu is funny so ok

if there was Romeo the love story would have happened between him and Taiga lol

-ALAN IN THIS ZOOM LOOKS SUPER PUMPED 😂😭

-Elias a gentleman as always (love him) BUT HAKU???? People said it was Tohma, so I was quite shocked

-Taiga out of his mind as always instead

Anyway, why does this anomaly want to continue the show? And who will watch it? And the endings are so bloody

What do you mean in every ending there's always someone who dies???

it's super intriguing

anyway the first game takes place and thank goodness they think of a plan, HAKU THANK GOODNESS YOU'RE HERE

but obviously Taiga had to do his own thing, poor Ritsu really. And to say that he was doing well but he wasted too much time thinking and Ritsu ended up with more less points out of everyone🥲

Afterwards, they all go to dinner and Elias suggests that the scoundrel should reveal who he is but he doesn't come forward.

AND OH GOD IT'S SO SUSPICIOUS.

I wonder who it could be

I don't think the scoundrel wants to die, but even if he tried to sabotage the others I don't think killing everyone else is the solution. So I think whoever he is either has a plan in mind that will save everyone, or he's evil and wants everyone else dead (like the spy).

But the last one seems impossible to me, so I'll go with the former

Elias seems to have a plan in mind, so maybe it's him?

But I don't know what Taiga means, when he says we're looking at things in the wrong way.

Anyway, the second game begins and UGH, I swear Taiga's behavior really bothers me.

But it was pretty clear that Haku had a plan in mind, and in fact he was really smart when he used his shield to reflect the statue's gaze and save MC.

HAKU THE MAN THAT YOU ARE

evening comes and before going to bed MC goes down to the kitchen to drink some water and sees Sho

SHO IS BEAUTIFUL OMG

I SWEAR THERE'S A WAR BETWEEN HIM AND JIN

but c’mon "I'm not the scoundrel" as if in the first episodes he wasn't literally trying to kill the MC

but excuse me, how does MC already know these things? Waves of Love comes way before the episode where MC discovers this so ?????

anyway the next day comes and everyone has breakfast

“you will be a very good husband” YESSSSSSSSSSS

they all leave and then Haku and MC are left alone and

Maybe the translation is wrong but Haku speaks in the plural? So could Yamato really be a relative of Haku? I think he is

AHHHHHHHHHH

I LOVE YOU HAKU

It's a shame the episode ends with the start of the third game.

I think the story makes suspect on Taiga, but I don't think it's him. At this point I'm very suspicious of Elias, since he's the only one who's still very anonymous.

Also who was that in front of MC's door?

English isn't my first language so I apologize for any mistakes.

[a-konakanalee]

Quick spoilers.

We already have the chief of the angels, there is no name for him, but it seems that after all, the demons have another purpose and, it looks like Berrien is the candidate to become their new vessel 🥲

(Stay away from my Berrien)

We rescued Flure, although he went into demonization.

Zepal... They killed him again, he saved Flure.

In the next chapter, chapter 7, it is 100% certain that Crowther will become a new Devil's butler (Seraphim and Throne are going to give him trauma).

And now they will be focused on discovering who Goetia really is.

[yogurtflureblu]

I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT

I KNEW ITTTTTTTT

I KNEW THAT THE CHIEF OF THE ANGELS WAS SOMEHOW GOETIA

[yogurtflureblu]

NOOOO WHY IS THE PHOTO DESTROYED??

Zepal what do you want to do???😭

[yogurtflureblu]

He’s so beautifullllllll 🥹

The rain, the room and the expression really convey Haru's fragility

especially the fact that he is shirtless and that his robotic arm is visible

I hope we get to know a little more about his backstory very soon (I'm a big fan of the theory that Haru was an orphan and lived on the streets, I also wonder why he liked sleeping inside Dionysia's closet so much?)

[kusanagihaku]

taking bets abt who the liar is

[yogurtflureblu]

WHATTTTT

[hotaruchoucho]

Hii Molly, Who do you think is the most touch starved butler?

Hiii Anon 🥹💖 thank you for the ask!

Who do I think is the most touch starved butler?

All of them-

I’m sorry I don’t mean to repeat my previous answer 😭

⚠️ Spoiler warning ⚠️ (Making HCs based on the characters they encounter)

As a butler, the last touch they’ve ever had was most likely from their past family, a gentle head pat from a parent, a welcoming hug whenever they come home, a comforting handhold whenever they feel unease.

Tricia would run towards Haures whenever he comes home safely, Alec would hold Lato’s hand whenever he finds something pretty, Goetia would pat Berrien and Beren whenever they’ve done well.

Fennesz’s sister would hold Fennesz’s hand whenever he feels scared, Flure’s sister would also hold Flure’s hand whenever he talks with strangers.

Boschi’s gramma would ruffle his head whenever he makes a chair, a small table, a small step stool for her, she would be proud of him no matter what.

Miyaji and Hanamaru would be surrounded by their children, asking for a lifted hug, and they would pat their heads so comforting, so warmly.

Shiro, who seems to be avoidant when it comes to touches, I’m sure that Shiro’s mother would cup his cheek and wipe his face whenever he comes back from the forest, brushing the leaves off of his long hair.

Yuuhan’s mother would praise baby Yuuhan while he rest his head on her laps, her hand on his head makes him very sleepy, it was the rare times that he doesn’t have to put up a mature face.

Teddy’s shoulders would be hugged by his companions whenever they finished a hard training, they cheer at the campfire, laughing about the ordinary joy in life.

Ammon’s mother, whenever she’s in a good mood, would hold out her hand towards him, crossing the road to sell the roses.

Whenever Lamli nailed a circus trick, the other circus members would clap for him, ruffling his hair, calling him, “the circus boy”, Lamli felt his heart warmer.

Whenever Nac’s mother writes with ink, it seemed to have blotted on her hand, and Nac would prepare a handkerchief right away for her to use, and Nac’s mother would smile beautifully, cupping and brushing her thumbs at her sweet son’s cheeks, “why thank you, my dearest Nac.” She would say.

Lono’s brothers and sisters would huddle around Lono whenever they sleep, Lono would hug them close for more warmth, he seems to fall asleep really fast whenever he’s with them.

Bastien’s father would ruffle his son’s hair whenever he sees him taking good care of the livestocks, he would give him the food he brought from the market as a reward.

Whenever Lucas skipped a grade, asking for more books, his parents marvelled at his intelligence, even though Lucas doesn’t seem to react towards their hugs, but he couldn’t help but wrap his arms around them.

For it was a long time since they’ve experienced a nice touch, not something discomforting like the nobles grabbing their hands, or even facing the fists of the angry townspeople who lost their family.

Even when they have been with each other for a very long time, it seems like they’re still a slight gap, a veil, that’s still untouchable, something they couldn’t talk about when it comes to the other butlers.

Perhaps they don’t want them to worry, or maybe it’s something they felt deeply ashamed about.

But when Arujisama came, it felt like their hearts are touched from deep within, even the worst despairs and memories melted in Arujisama’s palms. And they’re accepted completely. An enveloping hug to tell them that everything is alright and you can be just as you are. They are pulled back to that very moment, the moment they feel like at home, despite the chaos they face in the world, it’s the reason for them to continue to live, to continue to fight.

They didn’t even know they were this touch starved, they were numb to it, disregarding the aches they may had in their hearts, because they carry it everyday, and when Aruji treats them so kindly, the walls crumbled.

They start to face their vulnerabilities and fears, because they have to in order to heal.

And they couldn’t help but crave for the next touch from Aruji, a pat whenever they fell asleep waiting for Aruji, whenever Aruji wiped and cleansed them from the purple demonization mist, whenever Aruji hugged them to congratulate them on their birthday, whenever Aruji held and squeeze their hands to make sure everything’s alright.

For they couldn’t live without your touches anymore.

[shiionz]

Sit your ass down and go practice with those baby dolls. The only one who's coming out pregnant is YOU not ME.

[yogurtflureblu]

Anyway it makes me think that Seraphim broke into Aruji's room without knowing that they and some butlers were in the northern lands, who knows what would have happened if Aruji had been there

[ronanstkdbsideblog]

Thinking about which ghouls are likely to be picked as contestants for this next round of Waves of Love. Just jotting down some idle thoughts.

Safe to assume that it's going to be a fully different cast this time around than last time, so we can eliminate Haru, Ren, Rui, Ed, Jin (thank god), and Jiro. As for those remaining:

Tohma: He hasn't yet been included in any mixed-dorm missions, which raises his odds of coming around this time. As a character, the story hasn't done a whole lot with him as his own person - he mostly exists in relation to characters like Jin, Alan, and Frostheim as a whole. Maybe the TKDB writers would use this as an opportunity to give him a bit of time to be seen outside of those relationships, or, alternatively, they might still prioritize those relationships and thus he'd be more likely to be included if one of those other characters were there. Basically Tohma is a big old question mark.

Kaito: Not sure if the producers would go for him. He would definitely jump at the chance to be seen as a potential love interest for MC, but he would also be very insecure about having to formally compete for her affections with other contestants. Wouldn't look great on television, but maybe the potential for story or character development with him would outweigh him being a poor fit for reality TV. Though I think the fact that he has already done an inter-house mission this season significantly lowers the odds that he would be picked.

Lucas: Another character who hasn't done any inter-house missions, which is good for his odds. Out of the aroace ghouls, he's the one I think would be most capable of faking romance for the cameras, especially since his friendliness and general knight thing already can make it seem like he's flirting with people when he isn't. A strong candidate.

Leo: Considering that none of the Vagastrom ghouls have had an inter-house mission yet, it's extremely likely that at least one of them will be picked this time around. And I feel like he's the most likely candidate in that house. Dude's an influencer. Reality TV shows love casting influencers. Much as I dislike the guy, especially as a potential love interest, I'm already kinda surprised he wasn't one of the contestants the first time around, so I'll be even more surprised if he's not there this time either.

Sho: If Leo's in the mix, odds are high that he would drag Sho along. And, let's face it, he's someone who dating show producers would love to get their hands on. Dude's a good-looking athlete, biker, guitar player, business owner, and chef. Manages to be both bad boy and malewife. He would be the audience choice and also the clear winner if it weren't for the fact that he's gay.

Alan: It's not like they would be averse to bringing the big stoic guy onto the show, seeing as Jiro was there last time. I do feel like he's an unlikely pick, though, just due to the fact that I feel like the odds are very good for Leo and Sho getting picked; Alan's chances are probably fairly low just because it's very unlikely that all three Vagastrom ghouls would be selected for the mission.

Towa: If I were put in charge of casting a reality dating show, I would absolutely pick Towa. Audiences would be tuning in by the millions just to theorize what this guy's deal is. Unfortunately, he's very unlikely to make the cut, since him being mostly nonverbal would mean he really wouldn't be able to do the confessionals/talking heads, and the show would not break their format for his sake.

Taiga: Way too much of a liability. No matter how thorough the security process is, he would still find a way to bring live firearms onto the set. Reality TV shows love their villains, but they go for the pot-stirrer drama magnets, not people who casually and openly threaten to torture the other contestants and the bachelorette. Even if that is an admittedly effective strategy.

Romeo: Still quite a gun fiend, but I feel like he could be convinced to leave the firearms at home. He's not as obvious as Taiga about how much of a serial killer in the making he is; he could probably convince the producers and audience that he's just temperamental and snobby, which they would like. He would definitely believe himself to be above such drivel as reality television, but, well, Jin was there last time, so maybe this time Romeo would take on the role of the contestant who wants nothing to do with all of the peasants.

Ritsu: Wouldn't make it past the initial screening process. He would insist on days-long contract negotiations before anyone would be allowed to point a camera at him. Reality TV hates litigious people and would want nothing to do with him. He's another that still hasn't had an inter-house mission, but I think he's gonna have to wait for the next one.

Haku: I believe I saw a preview image of the episode that had Haku's arm in it? So I think he's confirmed as one of the contestants. Makes sense, he would do a good job.

Subaru: Doubtful. Subaru's already a known public figure in the theatre world, apparently with a scandal under his belt. Not that reality television is all that averse to scandals, but I believe they're a lot stricter about public image in Japan. Too bad, since having an actor on the team would otherwise be pretty beneficial on a TV show - although since he'd be having to play a version of himself, he might have still been too shy to play well to the cameras.

Zenji: Dead.

Lyca: Considering that Ren was included last time, being terrible at romance and absolutely not wanting to be on a reality dating show are not dealbreakers. But we also just had a chapter where we got a lot of Lyca being out of his depth and miserable in a romance-focused environment. I doubt they would want to do the same thing with him again, at least not so soon after the host club. Pretty positive that he's not going to be a contestant.

Yuri: He would not do it. If Darkwick picked him, he would refuse. There would be absolutely nothing they could do to make him go on a dating show. They could tell him that if he doesn't go along they would throw him into the Ultio prison, they could threaten to straight up kill him on the spot, and he would scoff and dare them to. You can take his freedom, you can take his life, but you cannot take his dignity.

Elias: I think it's extremely likely that at least one of the Dionysia ghouls is selected for this mission. They'll want to give us a chance to spend more time with them. Elias is a pretty good candidate; he's friendly and untrustworthy, making him a good pick for a reality competition show. However, I kind of wonder if they'd keep Elias on the backburner for a while but he's the Dionysia ghoul who's been in the story the longest and whom we've already interacted with the most. Writers may want to spread the love.

Shion: Would burn down the entire set within an hour of arriving. Definitely not getting picked.

Mio: Although he's someone who I think could do well on a dating show, I think that especially while Dionysia's on probation, it's really unlikely that they'd let Shion be on campus without Mio around to babysit. He seems to be the one who is the most 'in charge' of keeping Shion on a tight leash.

Jo: Personally I think they're the most likely to be picked for this mission out of the Dionysia ghouls. As mentioned above, I think the writers will probably want to give the spotlight to someone in Dionysia other than Elias for now, and since Shion and Mio are out, Jo's kind of the default pick. They've got a good enough rapport with MC that there could be comfortable on-camera chemistry between them, and as a circus ringleader they definitely have enough stage presence to be a good TV personality.

In conclusion, my prediction for this next chapter's lineup:

Lucas

Leo

Sho

Romeo

Haku

Jo

We'll see in a couple of weeks how well I scored.

!!Thoughts and theories about Akuneko Part 6: episode 5, chapter 1/13!!

I really liked this episode😭

AND YAYY THEY HAVE FINALLY REACHED THE KINGDOM OF ANGELS

Most of all I loved it because they finally revealed Flure's desperation, and poor guy😭

Apparently as a child Flure was teased by a noble child because he danced, and when the noble also insulted Flure's mother and his sister Flure punched him in the face

and omg it was so satisfying

Flure was afraid that the noble would do something to his family, but the noble’s family was in debt so Flure thought that all in all he couldn't do anything to him when one day a letter arrived at his house saying that his sister had been rejected by a dance company.

and it turns out that the noble child had become engaged to a rich girl who had managed to chase away Flure's sister, so the noble asked Flure to kneel on the ground and apologize, when Flure's sister arrives and understands everything and slaps the noble child

I LOVE FLURE’S SISTER SO MUCH

the scene was also too funny hahaha

at that moment it was clear how much Flure's sister loved Flure😭🥺

Because then she tells the noble to leave Flure alone and the two leave. As Flure grows up, his mother falls ill and he and his sister are forced to work. Flure works as a seamstress, and one day, while a customer asks him to sew children's clothes, he learns that the nobleman who was teasing him when he was a kid has an illegitimate child with a woman, and the woman is blackmailing him for money.

The next day Flure walks in the city and sees that some hooded men kill the woman and take away his illegitimate son, since they had not been able to find the letter that the woman used to blackmail the nobleman.

Flure tries to help the woman but she dies, and Flure finds the letter, takes it home, and tells his sister everything. Flure claims that with the letter, they can blackmail the nobleman into rejoining Flure’s sister into the dance company and starting their lives over again, but suddenly the hooded men and the nobleman enter.

Apparently the hooded men had seen Flure and so had managed to track him down, the nobleman then orders the men to kill him but Flure's mother throws herself forward to protect him and is killed, at that moment the nobleman understands how to make Flure suffer more: he makes him faint with a kick and kills his sister, when Flure wakes up both his mother and his sister were dead and the letter he had in his pocket was gone.

After a while, Flure stands before their graves and apologizes because they won't get justice because the police don't want to investigate, given that the nobleman has become so powerful through the marriage. Flure then continues, saying that he will join them soon.

But at that moment Flure sees the masked men standing guard in front of a villa, while they are talking Flure understands that is the nobleman's villa and Flure says that if he has to die anyway it is better that he takes one of the guilty ones with him.

Flure sets fire to the mansion, but realizes there's a child inside, so he quickly puts out the fire, but is discovered. The nobleman orders the guards to cut off Flure's head, but suddenly an angel appears and the guards flee, the angel then obliterates the nobleman. Shortly afterward, the butlers arrive, and Berrien asks Flure if he's okay.

since he was laughing

I WAS LIKE WOW

I DIDN'T EXPECT IT

Then Flure understands that he had become exactly like the noble and then Flure asks Berrien if he can join them.

Flure finishes telling his story and Zepal angel asks him if he wants to go for a walk, takes him out and the two talk with Zepal who in the meantime shows him the child that they had taken

IT'S SO ADORABLE PLEASE

anyway it is explained that Zepal just wants to gain Flure's trust and the scene shifts to Aruji who is trying to talk to the black cat (and please Aruji comments that they would have called the cat all night🥺), the black cat tells them where Flure is and in the meantime Finlay gives his approval to leave.

so it was also decided who would participate in the mission (Berrien, Lato, Lucas, Miyaji, Hanamaru, Teddy, Yuhan, Shiro, Aruji and Muu) and they agreed with Crowther to leave.

AND PLEASE FLURE KEEP THINKING ABOUT ARUJI???😭

AND APPARENTLY SERAPHIM AND THRONE HAVE BEEN CONVINCATED BY THE CREATOR AND FLURE REALIZES THAT THERE IS AN EVEN HIGHER PLANE????

Anyway, somehow they manage to get to the top of the world and the scene shifts again to Flure and Zepal angel who has caught the last remaining of Shiro's companions trying to free Flure (he was just pretending to follow the angels' orders). Zepal then says he expected it and kills him.

his last words were to Flure to take care of the child

😭😭😭😭😭😭

BUT APPARENTLY ZEPAL GIVES FLURE A CHOICE????? AND SAYS "WE WELCOME GUESTS" ?????

I really wonder what will happen in the next chapter also because I didn't expect them to reach the angel realm so quickly

anyway we are closer to demonizing Flure and I wonder what Zepal wants to do with him?

Also, how will they get back down?

I also think they'll probably only fight Zepal

It would be nice if the creator was revealed though🥲

English is not my first language so I apologize for any mistakes

[yogurtflureblu]

!!Thoughts and theories about Tokyo Debunker Season 2 episode 4!!

This chapter was the best chapter of Hotarubi for me

Plus in this chapter they revealed a lot of things about Zenji, Jiro, Hyde and some parts of Subaru and Haku's personalities.

Let's start with the fact that Yuri at the beginning of the chapter scolding Jiro for making MC anxious was too cute😭 Yuri may be a piece of shit but at least he cares a lot about his patients and is really trying to break MC's curse.

Plus, he explained a lot about demons, not only that no one has ever seen them, but he also said that the spelling of their stigma, if you rearrange the letters, spells out the name of the demon they've made a pact with.

This is incredibly helpful in understanding their powers (though I think we already knew that anyway).

And anyway I'm happy that MC will go on a mission with Hotarubi's Ghouls in the fictional world's house, I was already super curious when they went there with Sinostra and I'm happy that they brought it back.

but apparently that experience was traumatic for MC so much so that it warned the guys of the dangers of the fictional world😭

"oops I gave you an old file" IF I CATCH YOU HYDE-

AND FINALLY MIO IS GOING TO FIX MC'S DORM!!!!! YAYY!!!

finally😭 throughout season 1 nothing else was said about how bad it was😭 thanks Mio for fixing it when MC is away🙏🏻

And how adorable is Subaru all excited about the bus??🥺

And they're all dressed beautifully like in the Taisho era, and I honestly didn't think they knew how to use swords.

And the NPC looks so sweet, omg???

and thank goodness they met him because it made the whole mission easier since his family hunts Yokai

Anyway, it turns out that this guy is the heir of a family that hunts Yokai, and since they're having a terrible time, NPC asks Hotarubi's guys to help him hunt, the guys accept because they think they'll find some clues to get out of that world, and so the next day they return to the forest.

"you look tasty"

how scary😭😭😭😭 because these moments always happen to MC

anyway after they come out of the bamboo forest NPC says he can see Zenji, and it was super shocking, wasn’t Zenji spirit too weak to be seen?

Anyway from there they separate and enter the city to visit it and when they find a merchant who sells sweets while reading a story, Zenji remembers that when they were little he and Jiro had seen one just like it in a park.

and apparently Zenji had asked Jiro if he had fun and Jiro had smiled and said yes

😭😭😭😭 I cried

the next day they returned to the forest and in the meantime NPC became their disciple and Haku and Subaru were teaching him some things and they said that when a Yokai calls you should never answer, Suddenly a fog rises and the MC gets separated from them and finds herself in an abandoned village. When she returns to the path, she hears a Yokai calling her and gets very scared. At that moment however she hears Zenji's voice calling her and the group reunites.

back at the residence they hypothesize that the Yokai are picking on MC because of her curse and they wonder if there is any clue to break it so they ask NPC if there was any exorcist and he says that if I want they can meet her, so the next day they go to the exorcist

and omg that scene was so crazy????

Apparently the exorcist saw Kyklos inside MC and saw something that made her suddenly scared

I wonder what she saw? Maybe Kyklos could have cursed her too?

also because the exorcist chases them away by throwing objects at them so ????

Afterwards they return to the residence and the next day Haku and Subaru leave MC and Zenji at the residence to investigate on their own and so to reassure MC, Zenji takes her on a visit to the city

and it was a really nice moment😭

because Zenji was so excited and they met the candy merchant again and Zenji seeing a chocolate bar remembered him and Jiro😭

and Baby Jiro wanted the chocolate bar but it was too expensive and so Zenji couldn't buy it😭

so he said he would work harder to buy it for him

and I wonder if maybe Zenji and Jiro lived in a miserable condition, both were dirty and Zenji mentioned that he would work hard to get more money, also thinking back to episode 5 of the first season could it be that their parents were negligent (or completely abandoned them)?

and the saddest part is that Zenji never managed to get a chocolate bar for Jiro😭 (and that Jiro, as a child, hardly ever spoke or smiled)

then they show Hyde and ????

“I know full well that it's partly my fault that you and Moby ended up like this.”

“I'm just worried about you. Worried you'll make the same mistake again.”

???????? whattttt

What was he talking about? Were Hodge and Podge a person before? Or did something worse happen to them? And Moby too? Maybe that's why Cornelius treats him so badly?

And it's all his fault????? AND DID HE REALLY STOLE THE BRACELET ROMEO HAD STOLE????

"I'm going to take a nap now, I've used my eye too much."

I think maybe Hyde could be a Ghoul like Sho, or if he's not, he might have some kind of power. Since he always has an eye patch but idk

Anyway, the next day they return to the forest without NPC and manage to find the abandoned village, but suddenly the NPC's father appears and it turns out he was an anomaly. Somehow they manage to defeat him and it is thought that because of the merchant's story (he spoke of a man named Daigoro) the father was a human transformed into an anomaly.

they think it's a closed case and the door to exit appears but they decide to go back to tell everything to NPC, when they tell him Haku and Subaru they stay at the residence while MC and Zenji are in the city and at that moment the two realize that even a merchant can see Zenji

so Zenji thinks that always based on Daigoro's story, NPC's father was actually an anomaly transformed into a human and from there they discover that various anomalies have replaced humans, killing them, losing all the memories they previously had so they thought they were truly human, that why they could see Zenji

then suddenly a disfigured NPC arrives because he was also an anomaly, and so everyone goes through the door

AND OMG I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT??????? I SWEAR THAT'S WHY THIS WAS AN AMAZING EPISODE

Anyway, when they get to school they write the report and they are all sad, then Zenji comes in and says he named the doll Saburo

And I think to myself: wasn't it MC who gave him the name?? In the Star Festival? But the Star Festival is supposed to come much later, so why?

And why did Zenji seem so nervous?

AND OH MY GOD, SUBARU WAS ABOUT TO REVEAL SOMETHING ABOUT ZENJI???? BUT HE GET'S INTERRUPTED AND MC LEAVES AND ZENJI COMMENTS "I DON'T LIKE FACETING REALITY"?????

WHAT WERE YOU ABOUT TO REVEAL SUBARU TELL ME!!!!

Then the chapter ends with Hyde and Sho having a little chat, with Hyde saying he's leaving to see some old friends.

I honestly wonder if Hyde knows about the time loop?

Ah, and after repairing MC's dorm, Mio shows her that there was a hidden door that leads to a cemetery, and maybe that's where Zenji's body is? But Haku said they're still trying to bring him back, so maybe he's not there?

and apparently the next episode is waves of love again and I wonder what will happen, it must be an important episode since it is a first part, I wonder if maybe the cast will always be the same? I hope no XD

English is not my first language so there might be mistakes
