BUNGO STRAY DOGS ANIME GUIDEBOOKS

[kexing]

god i have so many theories about 4 minutes but my brain refuses to let me find a chronological order to explain everything so i’m just gonna throw this one out here

i think this break up was a cover up

and that the girl from the online gambling that got killed is doctor natcha. for reasons that have yet to be explained, she was working undercover to try and take the whole thing down

and doctor tyme knows, he’s part of the operation

which is why he went after korn, he’s probably the person natcha called while she was being chased

and the fact that tyme went immediately after the new big boss makes me think that he knew exactly who great was the moment he read his name on the flower card

the surname gave it away. and that might be one of the reasons tyme keeps stalking great like a champion

also an interesting detail is that tyme and great only met because great saw the future and managed not to fully hit the lady with the car, taking them all to the hospital

talking about the lady, her son killed himself over debt he couldn’t pay

she doesn’t say what kind of money he owed but what if it’s gambling and he’s definitely not the first person to die over this hence the whole undercover operation

it’s all connected and as the timelines change, things get even more intertwined

just a random silly interaction

One person on their own can't be a world; the human condition won't stand for it. What a terrifying comfort, and what a glorious tragedy.

Great spent the whole episode pouting and grabbing his tiddy 10/10 no notes peak cinema

[mistbornthief]

so, to recap Korn's pov:

family business in the shitter

police coming after you blasting Bad Boys Bad Boys etc

parents flee the country and leave you to clean up their mess

hot girlfriend you dont like cuts her losses and leaves you in the dust

younger brother gets shot, nearly dies, currently in coma, refuse to leave him (<3)

can't reach your true love you're currently fighting with

find out said true love murdered a guy and is currently on the run

reunite with true love, no longer on the outs (<3 <3)

go on the run bonnie and clyde style :)

go on the run bonnie and clyde style :(

get confronted by cop. find out 1) your younger brother was involved with your true love's younger brother's death; your true love shot your younger brother in revenge; also cheated on you with the cop (but also you were cheating on him so like this one kinda cancels out)***

fuck this cop. how dare he interfere with your love life. he is the most fixable problem here. go to shoot him.

B A D IDEA

true love takes the bullet, dies in front of you

you've lost everything, when all you wanted deep down was one person

Bonus: act your god damn heart out grieving him

Like that is such an insane clusterfuck of like what, 5, 6, 7 hours? Korn's kinda valid for just being like, you know what. fuck this

[overdevelopedglasses]

Guys they did it again.

The cat is real. The cat is a ghost. The cat is a metaphor for your loss, your grief, your powerlessness. The cat exists, and yet it doesn't. The cat is there to remind you that nothing can change. The cat is the reason you'll take matters into your own hands. The cat is a bad omen. The cat is your revenge. The cat is a projection of your worst thoughts. The cat is proof you're capable of love. The cat is a distraction. The cat is your goal. The cat is alive. The cat is dead.

JES JESPIPAT TILAPORNPUTT as TYME THAMIN in

4 MINUTES (2024) EP. 3

+ Bonus :

[florenzismind]

People have been baffled by Great immediately trusting Thyme over his brother but it makes sense to me (in the context of Thyme's "mission" at least)?

One of the first things we get to see as an audience is Great sitting far away from his family when they're eating dinner. It's a visual symbol in itself - Korn sits with his father, Great isolates himself from them.

Yes, Great seems to be closer to his brother, he clearly trusted him enough to seek him out when he had his first "vision" (or however you want to call them lmao) but Korn immediately dismissed it as Great being high or drunk and didn't take him seriously (I can't exactly fault him for that to be fair but to Great, it was pretty traumatic experience).

Then he meets Thyme at the hospital and sees them having intimate and loving sex. He doesn't see the cold, clinical version of Thyme, not for long anyway. Honestly, I think this vision is the only reason why Great even indulged any of Thyme's awkward flirting in the first place.

Then those following things happen: Thyme saves him, awkwardly flirts with him again. Worries about him and seeks him out and while he's joking about the visions at first he does take Great seriously and talks to his doctor friend immediately. They have a cute date and Great even allows himself to be vulnerable again. He gets visions of them holding hands, gently kissing.

Great is clearly very lonely and there's this person that cares about him in this awkward yet gentle way AND he even has visions of the future confirming that they'll be together in one way or another? What is there not to trust?

In the last week's episode he called Thyme first after his hospital vision, not Korn. He only called Korn after he couldn't reach Thyme which honestly was the first indicator on who he depends on NOW.

Now still people rightfully say "well that's his brother, why trust this man he's known for like a month?".

I think it has everything to do with Korn falling deeper and deeper into the shady part of the family business. Korn is literally moving further away from Great's (and Thyme's) shades of grey to his father's "darkness". Korn IS new to this. He' not comfortable with violence at all though he seems to further lose himself in this task to please his father and Great SEES that.

Korn doesn't have time for him anymore. He doesn't smile. He's doing some unknown business for his father that he can't say anything about. And he tells Great directly, this is important. He can't mess this up. But Great already knows by then what he's talking about. He's talking about holding another person hostage. Pleasing his father is more important to Korn than another person's life.

And Great's been forced by the universe (or maybe his own brain we don't know yet lmao) to actually make THE decision he wants to make. To not let the woman die. To protect Dome. He used his chances to do the right thing. He's witnessed people in his life being capable of killing someone else. People who maybe were a little bit shitty but he never thought they were capable of that.

Now there's this man who saves people for a living, who makes him feel loved, protected and cared for, telling Great that his parents are the reason for his parents dying. Great's parents that mean nothing but pain and loneliness to him. And he sees his brother trying to painfully please his father to the point of completely abandoning his moral compass.

The universe is constantly telling him to trust Thyme. Thyme will bring you love, the feeling you're seeking. Your brother, meanwhile, only tries to become this perfect puppet for their parents.

Great asked Korn to explain what kind of business he's doing. Korn answered him: it's incredibly important and he can't mess up. Great could've made Korn choose between him and his dad's business but he didn't. Yes, he "messed" it up but he didn't force Korn to choose.

Not yet anyway. This will become much more painful when Korn will actually have to choose and either fall deeper into the worst version of himself or try to become the man that Tonkla once idolized and Great once trusted.
