I find the initial shipping discourse surrounding the Erased fandom amusing on so many levels because the age gaps are all over the place and no side has the moral high ground.

Fans were outraged that Kayo did not wait for Satoru to wake up from his 15-year coma, despite having an entire chapter dedicated to telling us, the reader, why it was important for Kayo to move on and not stay stagnant waiting for Satoru. Kayo refusing to move on would have meant disrespecting the sacrifice Satoru made for her, and Sachiko could not stand by and watch her throw her future away.

It’s not a coincidence that the person Kayo ends up marrying and having a child with just so happens to be one of the other murder victims. Satoru was just as upset by Hiromi’s death (even more so in the manga) as Kayo’s, and the fact they even name their son Mirai, meaning future, makes him the living embodiment of everything Satoru has been fighting for this whole time and ultimately gave back to them. A future.

Also, there are several moments in the manga where Satoru reminds the reader/viewer constantly that he is a 29yo stuck in a child’s body. He has immature moments and passes off as a kid almost effortlessly, but he is clearly not on the same wavelength as the rest of his classmates. He has an adult way of thinking and can keep up with heavy conversations with Sawada over the murderer’s motives. Even his inner monologue is always voiced by the adult voice actor. There are enough hints to keep on reminding the audience, Satoru is not a child.

Furthermore, Satoru has no feelings for Kayo. The use of blushing in the anime/manga is used for many emotions; ranging from embarrassment to happiness. Satoru blushing around Kayo is not an indicator that he likes her romantically, any more than when he blushes around his teacher for giving him praise or his mother teasing him over dinner.

Even Kenya and Sachiko come to their own separate conclusions that Satoru has no romantic feelings for Kayo and is working under a different motive, even if neither of them can seem to pinpoint what that motive is.

I can’t take this discourse seriously because no matter how you dice it, it is more inappropriate for Satoru, a grown man in a child’s body, to fall in love with his classmate who he only ever knew as a child. Kayo never existed for him as a grown woman, so how could he fall in love with her over the course of the story without it being uncomfortable? Especially from Kayo’s point of view, who has every reason to believe Satoru is an 11yo trapped in a grown man’s body when he finally wakes up from his coma (Ah, the irony).

Also, there were fans that accused YashiSato shippers of being pedos and I can’t take this discourse seriously because of Satoru’s real age. I’m not denying, Yashiro being obsessed with his student after a 15yo coma is not equally problematic (and that’s not even diving into the whole attempted murder thing). That ship has its own set of problems, regardless of how many times Yashiro remarks that Satoru is very mature for a boy his age and understands him better than anyone (we as the audience know why Satoru is able to keep up with Yashiro’s thought process, but he still firmly believes Satoru is just a very insightful young boy).

And that’s probably the main takeaway from this entire discourse, Erased has some of the most complex relationships surrounding age gaps, romantic or otherwise.

Even Airi, a 17yo high schooler that knew Satoru when he was a 29yo struggling mangaka has a very unique relationship with him. Sachiko encourages her son to pursue a romantic relationship with Airi, despite the obvious age gap (probably because the year the story takes place in, the legal age to marry in Japan was 16, and even then Airi would still need her parent’s consent as she’s under 20). It’s ambiguous at best if Satoru has any romantic feelings for Airi, but even he makes it a point to say “It’s not like I’m interesting in high schoolers anyway” after their initial conversation when he’s trying to figure out her motive for striking up a conversation with him. It’s only after he gets to know her better that he starts showing her more respect, which depending on your point of view, could indicate that he might be considering a potential relationship with her because she’s mentally more mature than he is, or just a strong friendship.

And for fans of that particular ship, the epilogue removes any awkwardness between the two by resetting the timeline so Satoru does not run into Airi again until she’s 21. There’s still a 12 year age gap between the two, but its no longer being scrutinized and the two can now get to know each other all over again as adults.

I’m not judging anyone who ships Satoru/Kayo, Satoru/Airi, Satoru/Kenya, Satoru/Yashiro, etc. I’m just saying if you’re gonna get political about it, then the least problematic ship in the entire series is Kayo/Hiromi.

So stop bashing on Kayo for living a good life.

“In London, if a cop sees a chicken on the road, whoever runs over that chicken will be shot.” (Naomi, totally not pulling stuff out of his)

chiaki simulator 2k16 (2016) | quotes sentence starters

She’d never met the Ultimate Boxer before, though Satomi never seemed to speak of him favorably. However, Sonia was pleasantly surprised that despite how much Naomi Kadokawa was rumored to be rather loud and brash, he had chosen to strike up a real conversation with her. And about a place she’d visited nearly half a dozen times!

“Goodness, do they really get shot if they harm chickens?” Sonia gasped, eyes wide in surprise as she gave him her full attention. Such tactics would be thought of as too drastic for Novoselic, but animal rights were an important issue dear to her heart. “Perhaps that is why I have never seen live chickens in London and plenty of coppers! They’re very accommodating and kind though, at least in my experience. They want to keep us safe!”

WWE Games over the years

1985-1998: We were simple pick up and play simulation games each with a small, fun roster but really caught on with our fans with our arcadey feeling to them. 1999-2012: We care about our fans and actually put effort into our games, no matter how low quality they look. We expand everything great about the games before us and write great, entertaining stories whether they involve OCs or already established real life wrestlers. 2013-2018: WE ARE 2K GAMES. WE AREN'T REAL WRESTLING FANS. WE MAKE WWE GAMES BECAUSE WWE WANTS US TO. AND THQ IS DED. WE MAKE HUNDRED DOLLAR RIPOFFS, MAKE OUR CONSUMERS PAY EXTRA MONEY WHICH RANGES FROM 10 TO EVEN 30 DOLLARS FOR UNNECESSARY DLC AND PRE-ORDER BONUSES. OUR GAMEPLAY IS SHIT BUT WE DON'T CARE AT ALL.

PSAT 2022, PROBABLY: "If dolphins are scaring the toadfish they hunt with their popping sounds and a filmmaker, who will later go on to win an Oscar, advises them to approach low to the ground and with curious energy, by how many tomatoes fewer are the cortisol levels of the toadfish when the Alive Dominators tell them to photograph the dark in their nightmares?

“I’m already failing spectacularly.” - caunosfell

chiaki simulator 2k16 (2016) | quotes sentence starters

Sonia shook her head as they insisted their project was a failure. She’d wanted to add some new decor to her dorm room walls and a quiet afternoon was the perfect opportunity to create a moodboard. Gathering plenty of issues of occult and horror-themed magazines in her arms, she’d asked if Korekiyo might want any of them for their own collection, which had resulted in her demonstrating the act of making an inspirational collage.

“Absolutely not, each board is an expression of yourself. You cannot possibly fail at it!” Sonia smiled, affixing glue to a picture of a chandelier made entirely of human bones before setting it where she wanted on the poster board. Images of gothic castles and manors, ghosts, full moons and starry skies, cemeteries, ouija boards, tarot cards, and more surrounded it, with a border she’d made from a spare bit of ribbon dotted with tiny black and red satin rosettes. The closer her own board looked like it belonged in an Emily Bronte or Wilkie Collins novel, the better. “You can add photographs of museum artifacts if you like, but I think mood boards shouldn’t be about our talents. They should be about what inspires us!”

Choice words, as Sonia now cut out the image of a dagger dripping in blood.
