Warning!!!! C*nnibalism being mentioned. And 2ha spoilers.

I've always wondered why would Xue Meng and other people presumed that Shi Mei was nearly eaten alive when a child. Cause you know he never told his backstory for them. Than it hit me: Shi Mei was probably so traumatized, that he saw any other person as a threat, he probably went on screaming things like "don't eat me" to Xue Meng's father when he found him.

I just...

Hey, remember "Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE!"?

You know, the magical boy show that everyone was making fun of back in like 2015? This one.

I just started watching it. There's a tiny little green hedgehog with the MANLIEST voice. It's so dumb. I love it. Also, the character designs. En (blue guy) is pure gender envy for me. No kidding, I would wear his magical boy outfit.

It's the perfect medicine for my poor, sleep-deprived brain. :')

Years later while re-watching Boueibu stuff, I realize I've never made gifs from this DVD. So here are Whitey & Massu being precious together. <3

Massu was all over Whitey back then.... I miss that.

I'm having breathing trouble reading 2ha. Every chapter is filled with too much agony, and my heart is too weak. It wasn't before, but 2ha made me vulnerable to heart attack, I guess. I'm on the 8th book (not the physical one), and my soul is slowly dissipating. (Also, I literally want to burn Shi Mei/Hua Binan alive) Good luck to me.

YES. the trolley problem but it's your entire community at risk. what hua binan did was not moral or good and was absolutely horrifing, but it as the only option he thought he had and technically did have as opposed to a century long much more uncertain path while the novel repeatedly emphasizes how terrible of a situation his kin was in. i don't condone what he did and prefer the activism route but considering his mental state and trauma and the horror of knowing what was happening to his community, i can understand.

2ha: To Do or Not to Do, and How to Do, Those are the Questions

Elaborates on this post: 2ha Ethics 101

Exploring Hua Binan’s perspective in decision-making

“How could you, waiter? All these menu options are shit”

*

I’ve seen several opinions online along these lines: “Hua Binan had other options that he chose not to take. He should have asked for help from Chu Wanning and Sisheng Peak. He shouldn’t have killed innocent people.”

From a reader’s perspective, sure, Sisheng Peak would have helped Hua Binan. But from Hua Binan’s perspective?

Hua Gui had thought that she might one day be able to rely on a highly regarded sect and its leader to protect her people and secure their rights. I think we can agree that she was a resourceful woman, to be able to escape from her prison. Maybe she was also a ruthless and calculating woman, given that her first male helper died under mysterious circumstances. So it’s safe to think that she was not the sort who trusted easily, and that she was not stupid enough to pin hopes on a sect leader who was obviously hopeless. That man probably seemed like he had the potential to keep her clan safe someday. And yet her plan to make a place on Earth that’s liveable for her clan turned out disastrously upon identity leak.

Given Hua Binan’s front-row seat in that debacle, is it any wonder that he was so adamant about hiding his identity later on? Is it any wonder that he’d stubbornly rely on himself and his kin instead of a powerful sect that he had no familial bonds with?

Given his understandably major trust issues with humans, he couldn’t ask Sisheng Peak for help.

“But the humans at Sisheng Peak were trustworthy! His judgment was skewed.” Well, some men are trustworthy, but we don’t blame battered women for being unable to trust them. Some white people were trustworthy during the slavery era, but I wouldn’t blame a black person for being unable to trust even a white person who had been kind to them in those days. If I discovered that a sentient pig was rejecting the option of asking vegans, vegetarians, and Buddhist nuns and monks for help, in favour of taking a genie up on an offer to kill all humans so that pigs would be truly free from battery farming, I would be horrified but I’d understand.

^ writing my will when humans get what’s coming to us

Perhaps, from Hua Binan’s POV, it hadn’t helped that Sisheng Peak had not taken any significant initiative in favour of the rights of the Butterfly Bone clan. Sisheng Peak had not appeared to have qualms about maintaining relationships with the upper cultivation world and Guyueye, a sect infamous for torturing and killing the Butterfly Bone people. Might it be hard for a wary, once-bitten-twice-shy person to have faith that Sisheng Peak would fully support him just upon request?

Let’s say Hua Binan does ask for help. What form should the help take? An activist route to change society’s structure? Even if Chu Wanning and Xue Zhengyong were all for equality, would the rest of the sect be similarly progressive?

Sisheng Peak was civic-minded (just look at its location), but even so, the emancipation of Butterfly Bone people might require a significant mindset change among sect members. I’m thinking of parallels with the men of our world. Most (?) men aren’t what we’d call sexist (because there are worse men vying for that label), but many men (and women) hold gender-biased (well, sexist) ideas systemically ingrained in them due to centuries of patriarchal culture.

If you ask them to change their ideas, they will resist. If you ask them to actively, wholeheartedly provide support for feminism (via protests, personal practices, etc), many would shy away, uncomfortable. Even if they’re good people, these things happen. (I know men like that, I’m sure many women do.)

If Sisheng Peak were like a small mirror of our modern society—filled with people who are very good by olden-day standards but far from the ideal—Hua Binan and co would have their work cut out for them, trying to get buy-in from everyone to commit to a centuries-long investment of time, money, and energy. (Centuries-long, because they’re starting from an ancient dynasty where society is rather lawless and people are horrible to those who rank lower than them.)

And then, zooming out: would the emancipation campaign succeed locally, regionally, worldwide? Importantly: how long would it take to succeed in a world where the minority is seen as dirt? How many minority members would be at risk, suffer, and die in the meantime?

Hua Binan asking for this kind of help from Sisheng Peak is like a woman asking a kindly regional lord to liberate women across the country and install feminist institutions and practices in the Middle Ages. I haven’t heard of successful cases.

What about asking for Chu Wanning/Sisheng Peak’s help to find a magical method of getting the Butterfly Bone clan home without massacring the world? I guess the trust issue will be a major barrier again. Hua Binan may like Chu Wanning, but liking someone doesn’t necessarily mean that he can bring himself to leave his past experiences behind and unreservedly trust that person.

There’s also no guarantee that such a magical alternative exists. (There’s no guarantee that the flower plan would have succeeded either, but at least there was a plan: a clear target—the body count—and a known rocky road to get there. In contrast, the existence of a magical alternative is but a mere hope, a major element of uncertainty. In addition, I expect that Hua Binan did quite some research on magical methods that might help his people get home in canonverse, or at the very least always kept an eye out for them, because why not? If there were another more effective alternative out there, he’d be the first to go for it. But it appears that he didn’t find anything better.)

If years pass and no other magical method has been found, what should Hua Binan do? Go ahead with the flower plan that’ll take decades to come to fruition, or go down the emancipation campaign route that might take centuries? As time spent on searching for an uncertain route and (potentially) switching plans later on increases, the risk faced by the Butterfly Bone people in hiding (risk of hiding spot being discovered, risk of recapture, whether wholesale or individually) increases. Would you feel safe hiding in a temporary bunker or would you rather quickly get to a country where people won’t kidnap you on sight?

“Sisheng Peak could have helped hide and protect the Butterfly Bone people!” That’s what Hua Gui thought about Tianyin Pavilion. Is it surprising that after that, the Butterfly Bone people were like “no, we want as few sects as possible to know about our community in hiding”?

Regardless, a third-party observer might say that the magical and/or campaign routes are a bit better because they’d kill less innocent people than the population of two worlds. But if the ones who’ll face the long-term uncertainty and risk in this plan are your family members, people you care about, your community—you might think differently about the urgency of obtaining freedom and the cost involved. Or maybe not; maybe certain moral principles you hold dear come first. Both views make sense.

So yeah. It looks like Hua Binan had alternatives, but they’re easier said than done. All routes are problematic when it comes to implementation.

I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and believe that he thought thoroughly about the pros and cons of all his options, because that’s what normal people would do, before going with the nuclear one.

Perhaps if we did some sophisticated cost-benefit analyses, we’d disagree with his decision and conclude that there was an objectively best route that he didn’t take. (That’s making the major assumptions that our analyses don’t require in-depth knowledge about 2ha magic and society, and that there is an objectively right answer to a trolley problem…) But we don’t have to. It’s fiction, so to me, it’s sufficient that there are understandable considerations pushing Hua Binan 0.5 towards his choice (and Shi Mei 2.0 towards his); those considerations don’t have to be perfectly unassailable. After judging that they do make a not-inconsiderable amount of sense for someone in his shoes, I’d like to sit back and admire Hua Binan’s plan for being absolutely batshit crazy, galaxy-brained, and “successful”, as in, it mostly achieved what it was meant to. Everyone say thank you to Hua Binan/Shi Mei for driving the 2ha plot.

Okay but Hua Binan/older Shi Mei is genuinely the villain I find the most annoying (but in a way that works for the character though, this isn't a criticism more like pointing out a character flaw) in all of the damneis I read so far (which is just all of mxtx and 2ha to be fair) because he just refuses to take any responsibility for any of the deaths that happened because he cursed someone.He is constantly saying'' if I didn't kill them by own hand, then I'm not responsible" and it's legitimately the worst.

I'm so glad Chu Wanning keeps calling him out on it.

My Thoughts of Fairy Ranmaru Henshin

Add Binan Koukou as inspiration, take a more serious approach on fights and adding female characters, and you had Fairy Ranmaru. Unlike Binan Koukou, the fairy form (a.k.a. the one with battle clothes) is their true form and they had a human form to blend with society, which I should say... appeared way different from their true forms.

First off I want to spot the fact that like Binan Koukou, this series leans heavily on fanservice, and they gone overboard with it. It is one of the series with hair changing first before the outfit, though the body can count as well as it become more... detailed with sunllight ray to censor… that one part. And some of their battle form are pretty fanservicey too, so beware. (no offense for that, but you know...)

So how they trigger the transformation? By kissing the (usually) female client whose in trouble in their lives. It can be either by lip or palm. For your information, Binan Koukou Happy Kiss also does the palm kiss, while the previous quintet has bracelet kiss. If I were them, I would prefer palm kiss the client. And unlike Binan Koukou whose group henshin done through one by one individually, Fairy Ranmaru does this in split screen shown in the above picture in the final episode.

With that out of the way, are you ready? We will take your heart!

Fairy of Illumination, Ranmaru

This fairy from the strongest clan out of the five is the first fairy to had the transformation, and add the basic for step-by-step transformation by hand and leg one by one by feather scan, then the remainder of the outfit. I appreciate the tail on his costume, and a dissappearing glasses at the beginning.

Fairy of Flames, Homura

Same as Ranmaru, but kind of stand still than him, and even has a big ribbon. I like the loosening human hair and the ‘ping’ leaves a flames on it. Also the spinning flame spear part is cool too.

Fairy of Luster, Uruu

The scan leaves a bit of water for the ‘ping’, but I got a bit of mixed feelings of how closing ‘that’ part with the corset. I would say if the longer hair human is his true form, it would be the inverse of power makes you hair grow trope, but since it’s actually the other way around, it’s alright.

Fairy of Verdure, Jyuka

Compared to the other fairies, Jyuka has more energy on his transformation and less toned in terms of fanservice. And I like how his single earphone was created.

Fairy of Gold, Takara

This is the type of fairy form with most fanservice, and I think it would be better if he wears something to cooperate with the cape jacket. And pretty stiff of top part too. But his henshin pose was cool to cover that part. That’s one of the my favorites for his transformation, alongside his untied ponytail at the beginning.

Fairy of Darkness, Chilka

Since light usually a contrast to the darkness, Chilka’s transformation was made a parallel to Ranmaru’s henshin by having the movement mirrored to his. Also, his transformation music is composed by guitars instead of trumpet to implement his status further.

Fairy of Loam, Hojo

Well, compared to other fairies, the servant of Queen’s transformation is shorter with full body scan and less heavy in terms of fanservice. His face is kinda hilarious though and his outfit gave me rainbow vibes.

Gaining Wings

After transforming, they dashes forward in bubbles and feather with a song in background. Then jump and add the wings for each fairy. Though it made sense, otherwise it will be out of theme. In terms of song, if it’s individual then each would get a solo song, and in finale where the main five fairies transform together, the opening theme sung by them is played instead.

Overall, more standard transformation sequence for magical boy anime compared to the likes Binan Koukou or Sailor Moon. Just be aware of fanservice they had in the sequence. Thanks for reading and see you in my next post!
