#Yotsuba chapter 95

[why485]

It’s kind of amazing that having read only a couple chapters ahead from when I wrote my previous post that was just the teaser for the big reveal(s). It’s always been a bit weird to me that this series has as high a score as it does, but I think I get it now after this because it’s a hell of a twist.

I’ll probably do one more Fuutaroubowl update, though I’m not sure how soon I should do it yet. Looking ahead at the chapter names, it seems like there’s a very lengthy school festival arc is coming up and then the last volume which presumably just wraps everything up, so maybe it’s better to do it sooner than later.

Yotsuba’s past finally gets fully revealed in chapter 90 and it recontextualizes literally everything that’s happened up until now. Yotsuba was the secret main character this entire time. A tragic character and, while not what you’d call a mastermind, behind any of the weird and/or ambiguous events that didn’t quite add up. After a couple more chapters (Last read 95, ~30 away from the end) this is such an insane loose thread, with so much room for growth, that when combined with Itsuki’s apparent status reversal, a Yotsuba win seems very likely.

The craziest thing is that it even fixes some plot holes that were bugging me. Up until this point, I’ve been assuming the mangaka has been making it all up as he went. That the reason for so many of the quint shenanigans was to keep it as ambiguous as possible so the story (and winner) could be tweaked over time based on either his own preferences or some other outside forces. Now though, I’m not so sure.

I went back and read through some of the early chapters and everything is consistent. This actually cleans up a lot of the problems I thought existed around the Rena character and Itsuki’s part in it all. All my insane theories during the Nino arc only made sense at the time, and now after everything’s played out it’s hard to imagine it going any other way. I don’t know that I want to re-read the entire thing yet, but I will say that it’s renewed my interest in the anime, because I’m really curious what an edited version of this story looks like. Maybe nothing actually needs to change to keep it internally consistent. Maybe all of this actually was planned out in advance.

yotsuba’s speech occasionally sounding like she’s repeating what others have said to her in the past makes her feel like such a real little child
