"we're so back" = "everythings coming up milhouse" A little lingo translation for you

over-psychoanalyzing blorbos is healthy and needed enrichment for the girlies in order to avoid over-psychoanalyzing themselves. like giving a dog a chew toy in order to redirect chewing on its hind legs

"Ok, ma'am that'll be $226.03."

I take my wallet out of my pocket and unfold it. It is empty other than a single moth that lazily flies out. The moth lands on the tap point of the card reader. There's a beat, and my payment is processed. The moth flies back into my wallet and I put it back in my pocket.

Ya know we might be cooking here- too early to say for sure. But again, I thank you for speculating with me! It kills me the fandom is so small right now and I’ve got no homies IRL who read it :’)

The Cleaners have been speculating that the Choker Maker has a part of the Watchman series, and we already know Rudo, Amo, and Zodyl all have pieces. Until we can verify that’s the case, they fit into the graffiti the same way everyone else who has a piece does. Corvus knows SOMETHING about it, otherwise he wouldn’t have taken Rudo’s choker off during their convo. And a “white crow” is supposed to lead the way to them during the upcoming Doll Festival Arc. Is the Choker Maker fiend or foe? Don’t know. Fidget spinner significance? Yet to be determined…

Hey hey, I’ve got a Gachiakuta question for you: what are your thoughts on the Cleaners emblem? I haven’t seen anyone talk about it anywhere, and my brain has been doing backflips about it. When I look at it I see a crow within the circle of an umbrella- there’s a crook in the center, and the 8 points on the outside made me think of Umbreaker (Octa-Shredder). I think this hints at lots of stuff, especially who could have founded the Cleaners. Ever since I heard the theory that Umbreaker might be Enjin’s second vital instrument- the emblem makes me think that it’s been passed down through the Cleaners specifically. AND THEN THE CROW! At first I only saw the eye (like Corvus’ tattoo), but then all the stuff with Kuro made me think it was the eye of a crow. I see your analysis posts all the time and wanted to share my thoughts :-)

Nnhhhh... The Cleaners' symbol you say?

I have essentially no stable theories about it, and avoid thinking about it! Mostly because the symbol in and of itself looks similar to what you're describing, but if we are to go with this hypothesis, the questions it raises about Enjin are endless... Too endless for my brain to handle, so I find myself thinking more often about the more standard theory that a lot of other fans on other apps and sites hold, which is "symbol=sun=Apollo, so Greek myths have something to do with this, something something Typhon and Cerberus in the myths, something something reference to Delos".

Truth be told I am not a fan of THAT theory either. I have no clue what to think about the symbol, so I just leave it alone and wait until there is a proper reveal.

It's not the same as with the "Corvus=Kuro" theory because I have plenty of evidence for that. We don't know enough about Enjin's mentor/person he admired in order to make theories about him, the umbrella and how Enjin became part of the Cleaners though.

But if I HAVE to make a theory about it... I will go along with what people on Reddit have pointed out.

If I look closely at the symbol I actually don't see Enjin's umbrella. I see the sun. And Corvus's eye. What's more important here is the eye and the sun.

Sun: symbol of godliness and purity and hope. Pretty obvious knowing what the Cleaners want, which is protecting others... At surface level. We know that Corvus himself wants to find out about secrets. The Sun therefore becomes something akin to what light was for the movement of Enlightenment: if light is Reason shining through superstition, here the Sun could be the Cleaners seeking truth amidst the absence of information and the void it created, and not just them creating warmth for humans (the warmth of protection that is).

I see an eye also, and I think "Macaca Icol". There is an eye underneath his graffiti, symbolizing in all likelyhood a friend of his. The symbols underneath Macaca himself are all his friends. So a friend of Macaca Icol, the "eye" friend, created the Cleaners, or was an inspiration for their organization.

Now, my brainstorming goes as follows:

-There are lots of eyes at the base of the Cleaners.

-There is an eye at the back of Corvus's head.

-Corvus is often out. He wasn't present during the time Rudo and company visited Kuro.

-Kuro shapeshifts and has a friend he cared about like Corvus, he has a personal interest in the Cleaners like Corvus, he has forgotten things whereas Corvus HATES forgetting things and having books with missing info on them.

-Macaca Icol is a spellcaster: the city of Spellcasters loves him.

Kuro shapeshifts. Spellcasters make spells. Shape-shifting is considered a spell, traditionally, in the genre of fantasy media...

... Do you see where I am going with this?

Thing is, Corvus seems to be tied into the group of Macaca Icol's friends. If the founder of the Cleaners is Canis, then he must have been friends with the guy represented by the symbol with the eye underneath Macaca Icol's graffiti in order to put an eye in the logo of the Cleaners. I believe that guy represented by the eye is Corvus. And maybe, just maybe, if Kuro=Corvus, Corvus is a spellcaster...

But none of what I see in the logo makes me think of an umbrella. Then again, only time will tell. Maybe your theory is more sound than mine.

EDIT: I am seeing a crow now too, actually. It is actually embedded in the symbol. So again, emphasis is put on Corvus and Kuro. The "waves" which are spiky above the eye are actually wings of feathers, although stylized.

Sun, crow, eye.
