So, Theory Time. This Focuses A Lot On Events That Have Been Animated, A.k.a Season 1, If More Information

So, theory time. This focuses a lot on events that have been animated, a.k.a season 1, if more information for it, either to confirm or deny it, appear I might expand it but honestly, it's not that big of a theory and most likely not accurate but it has been occupying my mind. Plus, I don't think it'll ever get touched upon. Also, if someone has said this, I have not seen it anywhere.

So, let me start!

A Yugi twins plus Minamoto family theory, I call it "Trapped". And it's based on three panels.

Chapter 3 in the manga, when Kou was first introduced...

Chapter 17 in the manga, right after Tsukasa was introduced...

How do these two fit? Well, it's what they say in these panels that made me think.

You see, when Kou was introduced and said his grandma trapped Hanako. At first I thought "oh, so like trapped him to the toilet?" But then this little extra panel exists...

Yes, Yashiro asks why he's called 'Hanako-san' but it's still referring to him being to the girl's bathrooms. So, with this, he's not trapped to the toilet, maybe he is by the rumors but he was not trapped by the Minamoto grandma.

But where does Tsukasa fit? Well, he said, after being introduced, for the first time on the roof, "I can't move too well".

Why can't he move well? Was he, perhaps, trapped? Trapped by the Minamoto grandma? But then, Kou described Hanako, so why would it be Tsukasa?

They look extremely alike. Except for the sticker (and maybe the teeth), they look the same. You can say the clothes are different but it's not like Tsukasa hasn't dressed like his brother before. Literally was introduced with Hanako's clothing.

So, what if, somehow, he learned that Hanako was being "hunted" and took his place? He wouldn't even need to do much, just dress like him, maybe have a kitchen knife with him, though not necessary, and pretend to be him.

The Minamoto family could have just heard of Hanako-san rumors or bc of who they are, they did their research, bases like name, weapon, maybe abilities. Since the wonders are supposed to be murders, it would be assumed, right off the bat that they have killed.

Everything could be said and be accurate about Hanako and yet the one that got trapped could have been Tsukasa.

Another and final panel would be this...

Chapter 20 in the manga, second time Tsukasa and Hanako see each other...

Hanako could have very well avoided Tsukasa for 10, 20, maybe even 30 years. Meaning, it could be 100% possible that Tsukasa was the one trapped but of course, it's not like he would say it.

Or Hanako was simply trapped for a bit and that was it. I don't know. My brain likes to think things that might not make any sense or be true.

I'll take my leave...

Bye! 🙈

BSD Magazines Archive

After *checks* six months of working on this, I've finally completed the bsd magazines archive!! The photos above are only meant as table of contents: this is the folder with all the images included above in original quality and more, for a total of 360 pictures with multiple scans to display the best quality available on the internet. Here you can find the spreadsheet with the issues details, including magazine name, date, name of the illustration artist and translation when available, and most importantly source credits for every picture I included. In hope that anyone can find this useful or interesting, please enjoy!

Special thanks to @amythedemisimp, who shared with me so much useful material, and without whom I wouldn't have started this project to begin with.

One thing Zenki Soukoku, Soukoku, Shin Soukoku pairings have in common is:

Right person, wrong time.

Blitzø's Name In The End Credits

A while ago, I saw someone point out that Blitzø's name on recent episodes (in the credits) had an X over the O and went to check it out. It turned out to be true and decided to keep track of it until it'll change again.

I wasn't going to search deeper than that, mostly waiting on how it'll go but I decided to check if it was any different than the ø that we're supposed to know. So...

When I saw this in season 1 episode 1, my jaw was on the floor.

I'm sure people have pointed this out before, I've only seen about the recent X over the O but I'm sure this ain't new. Part of me had noticed but when months pass between episodes and you don't actually pay attention to the credits, the change is so minor that it kind of never happened in my mind.

But the fact of the matter is-

all of season 1 had Blitzø's name written with the o. No "silent O", just Blitzo. Until...

Queen Bee.

If people were around, they know Queen Bee did not release after Ozzie's but we're pretty certain it was done way before season 2 began (even though it released in the middle of it). Anyway.

Maybe the change from the o without a line and the ø with the line wasn't so weird when it happened, especially since season 2 was out and the change had already been implemented, as seen below ↓

But it only lasts up until Western Energy. After that...

The X appears.

This is definitely on purpose, I simply can't figure out the purpose. My only theory is that it's supposed to represent Blitzø's declining mental health and severe self-hatred/low self-image taking a hold. I do not know. I can only point out the events on the previous episodes before the changes were done.

Ozzie's/Finale: Blitzø was faced with his past in the most disastrous way, ending with the start of his relationship with Stolas falling apart. His self image crumbled further.

Western Energy: Blitzø was faced with the fact that Stolas can get/be hurt. His view of the immortal/untouchable Stolas crumbled. Assumption, he might blame himself for not being there.

I don't know, I'm just thinking and I'll probably be obsessed with this until we see what else they do.

Listen, I am trying to be critical but knowing skk and how they barely ever have conflict and how op Chuuya is and how unhinged Dazai is and how insanely smart Chuuya is and how much and how often they troll enemies it is very in character for this to be the meursault finale.

No, the stakes were just as high, this is skk, they love their high stakes pranks and death game foreplay shit. They love keeping each other on their toes and leaving clues for each other without ever telling them to look for said clues.

They are clowns. They are the entire circus. They are stupid and they will drag everyone down to their level in their dick measuring contest of a partnership.

Somehow this ending makes so much more sense than them suddenly having a deeply angsty ending.

Would it have been more interesting had Chuuya been a vampire? Yea sure.

Is it ridiculously in character for them to be trolling everyone and potentially Chuuya trolling Dazai even? Yes.

And its way funnier.

Can someone explain—

—ALL OF THIS?!

Thank you.💜
