javier learning about the ending spoiler at all is how the fourth spoiler could even happen in the first place. theres no goddamn way otherwise javier would agree to such a desperate plan

[lloydfrontera]

Chapter 364 is finally on yonder. Now i wonder... how long would it take javier to finally accept lloyd's request? What would javier do after what he had done with his young master? The fourth ending is such heartbroken ending... especially if we analyze it...

surprisingly... not that long. especially when considering just what exactly lloyd is asking of him.

because. i think lloyd only decided to use the ending spoiler when his parents were murdered. terrible as everything else had been, despite the fact that the country was in ruins, that alicia herself was dead, he didn't really,,, consider the story completely ruined yet. he wanted to see things play out.

but then arcos and marbella are killed and... "That is when I learned that a person's life can be destroyed at lightning speed."

he buried his parents one day and the next he made javier kill him. at most it would've taken him a couple days to prepare everything for the funeral so i think he wouldn't have had more than just that time to convince him.

so. canonically. less than week.

as for what javier would do after killing his best friend, right after losing his family too,,, i really don't know.

the point of the fate restoration is to make javier take up the protagonist role once again and embark in his journey as the main character. and with every other spoiler yes i can see it. tragic as they were, i do see javier picking up the pieces of his heart and going off to help others like he did in the original novel.

but this spoiler?? i don't know if he could. it's one thing to lose everything by circumstances out of his control, horrible as it was, terrible as being incapable of saving them would've been, he would still have the knowledge that it wasn't on him, it wasn't his fault beyond not being good enough to protect them. but in this one, it's his hand that cuts down the last member of his family. it's him killing his best friend and the person he cares the most about. and if he continues on living after killing lloyd, then he will never know if it was worth it. he will never know if worked or if he just murdered his young master for no reason.

and i don't know if he could go on after doing that.

but. javier is doomed to survive. to be the last one standing. if nothing else, fate will make sure of that. however it achieves that doesn't really matter as long as it gets what it wants.

so. yeah :)

[yayakoishii]

the abandonment issues are bad with this one 😭

and I'm weak for characters like that lawrd, I love Mephisto,,,

I'm very happy for him finally feeling wanted and needed– it is a wonderful feeling and the fact that Iruma sincerely wants everyone by his side makes it so much better because I know that it will end well.

Iruma makes greed feel like not a bad thing

Mo Guan Shan’s Big Feelings

Mo Guan Shan, resident tsundere of 19 Days, pretends to be tough and hard-hearted.  But he’s easily and frequently reduced to tears, as we soon realize.  In fact, he cries so often in the story that this post is pretty massive.

MGS cries as a child, of course.  He’s in a clinic in his mom’s arms when She Li first becomes obsessed with him (ch 294).

MGS has a bad dream about the day his dad told little Guan Shan he couldn’t come to the school’s robot fair (ch 392).

MGS cries in other dreams too.  Soon after meeting He Tian, he has a sensual dream of being comforted in He Tian’s arms after being bullied.  Look closely – there are little tears falling as He Tian assures him he’s the “most invincible badass.” (ch 250)

True to form, he cries in the Santa fantasy extra when his house is destroyed (ch 345).

MGS cries when he’s frustrated, like in this episode after the play when he can’t untie himself to pee (ch 359).

MGS is a weepy drunk as well.  After accidentally destroying Brother Qiu’s bike (ch 427), he drunkenly sobs in bed as he vows to somehow repay him. 

Later, while MGS is still drunk, He Tian slips and falls while carrying him, ripping Mo’s pants in front of He Cheng (ch 429).  MGS cries from embarrassment.

Unsurprisingly, MGS cries over his dad.  After He Tian unknowingly brings him to dinner at what is probably his father’s former restaurant, we see a young MGS in flashback crying in fear at the chaos around him.  Present-day MGS flees and He Tian finds him crying in the parking lot (ch 217)

One of the more moving chapters shows MGS breaking down as he visits his father in prison for the first time (ch 240).

MGS cries from sheer anger in several chapters.  The earliest is when He Tian forces an unwanted kiss on him as a misplayed joke (ch 174-175).  He Tian is taken aback by Mo’s strong, tearful reaction.  It’s probably the first time someone doesn’t try to placate He Tian when he’s being a jerk, and he begins to take MGS more seriously after this.

MGS tries to end his friendship with He Tian after the school play that indirectly causes him to lose his meager job.  He Tian doesn’t help matters by waving money at him as they quarrel.  MGS weeps with anger and says, “Standing with you makes me feel like a failure.”  (ch 364)

He cries in anger once more as he watches incredulously as She Li incinerates his backpack (ch 368).  (She Li seems to walk around carrying gasoline like it’s no big deal – what’s up with that?)

MGS cries when he’s worried.  When he digs frantically through the mudslide during their ill-fated mountain hike, he thinks He Tian has been buried alive.  When He Tian calls out, MGS throws his teary self into He Tian’s arms (ch 329).

MGS’s worry is clear when the last violent fight with She Li is finally over and He Tian has won (ch 408).  The battle was so fierce that by the end He Tian is crying too, and soon they’re embracing (I sense a pattern here!)

MGS often cries when his emotions overwhelm him.  Early on, after MGS is rescued from the fiasco of agreeing to take the blame for a serious crime, He Tian tells him, “Don’t try to shoulder everything yourself.” (ch 188).  MGS tears up at the thought that someone like He Tian has his back.

MGS ends up full-on sobbing in He Tian’s arms (again) when he finally admits why She Li has a hold over him: because of the homeless man who tried to kill him (ch 319).

In one of the most traumatic scenes (and a personal favorite), both guys shed a lot of tears when He Tian finds him after She Li has tortured and burned him (ch 369-370).  These chapters mark a turning point in their relationship from friends to more.

MGS is shown when he’s happy only once, and that memorable event will happen in their future: that Christmas night when He Tian returns and proposes with matching rings (ch 412).  Cue the waterworks!

Thanks to all of the translators who provide the English versions of the story!

I think that Akane died when she was 16, she didn't look a lot older than that.

Since she is 6 years older than Koko and Inupi, it mean that they would have been 11 for Koko and still 10 for Inupi, at the moment of the fire, few days before Inupi's 11th birthday.

Because if Koko was 12 and Inupi 11 (or already 12), Akane would have been 18. So almost adult. And she doesn't look like a adult.

So i bet that she was 16/17, second or last year of high school, and that the boys were 11 for Koko, et almost 11 for Inupi. And they had still a year to do in elementary school.

Akane stayed in coma for few weeks, months. Inupi had already his short hair that he had in Shinichiro's ship when Izana visited him, Inupi and Koko had already grow up to look more like teen than that children. I think that they had already started their last years in school for some weeks when Akane died.

Koko was just a kid, he didn't manage to have enough money to help Akane in a so short period of time but he had enough time to get a reputation and having still a lot of money

But It couldn't have been only few weeks. It must have lasted for few months, maybe 6 months. Inupi has just a shirt when he call Koko to tell him, so it was warmer outside. Maybe it was summer or end of spring.

After that, Inupi was in 8th Black Dragon, then in 9th Black Dragon, then send in juivie.

Inupi is older than Mikey for a year. He was 13 when Mikey was 12. When Mikey beats the Black Dragon, it was almost his 13th birthday. And Inupi was in juivie at this moment. We don't know the date of his liberation but it was after Shinichiro's death, so after Mikey's birthday. He was 14 at this point. 16 in the BD Arc. and 18 in Mabu Arc.

So he must have been almost 11 when the fire happened, had spent his birthday at the hospital and Akane "survived" for at least 6 months, while Inupi was in his last elementary school year. Inupi has been send in juivie during his first year of middle scool and got released during his second year. But it must been less of a year in reform school.

Koko is few months older than Inupi, since he's born in April. But they are in the same year. So Koko was already 11 when the fire happened.

@naehja

Yeah, I agree that Akane could have been 16/17 when she died, for sure she was still in high school given her uniform, but she's 5 years older than Inupi (ch.158)

also Inupi is older than Koko!

Inupi is born on October 18 1989, while Koko on April 1, 1990, but they're in the same year at school because of how the Japanese scholastic system works (there was a typo in the first character book, the official twitter made a post to confirm that). Inupi, Koko and Taiju are all in the same scholastic year. If Koko were born on April 2, then he would have been a year younger! (school years start on April 1 and ends in March and kids has to be 6 already to start school, they cannot be, let's say 5 and 364 days old lol, at least, this is what I understand, this system is a little tricky for me, it's very different from the one used where i live lol)

We don't know exactly when the fire happens, but since they have long sleeves with no coat it's probably autumn or spring. And unfortunately we don't even know how long she stayed in coma, but i agree some months could have passed. Here Koko says 1 month was passed since the fire (ch.159)

so either she dies after 1 month of coma (and in the meanwhile Inupi also gets out of the hospital), or some generic amount of time passed, no more than a few months tho. I agree with you, I feel some months should have had passed in order for Koko to start making some money

(lol Inupi is calling from a public phone, how does Koko knows it's him??)

In chapter 81 Chifuyu says that 2 years before (so in 2003 since in ch.81 it's the end of 2005) there was the new born Toman (that was created to help Kazutora) vs Black Dragon 9th generation, that was lead by Madarame Shion, but there was no Inupi around in the extra chapter from the DVDs, later reunited in the full color volume "Stay Gold"

Inupi is older than Mikey for a year. He was 13 when Mikey was 12. When Mikey beats the Black Dragon, it was almost his 13th birthday. And Inupi was in juivie at this moment. We don't know the date of his liberation but it was after Shinichiro's death, so after Mikey's birthday. He was 14 at this point. 16 in the BD Arc. and 18 in Mabu Arc.

Yes, Mikey is born on August 20, 1990, so since Inupi is not around when Toman vs 9th gen BD happens, we can assume he was in juvie at the time, in 2003, and it is heavily implied he was in juvie, since he asks for confirmation here (I mean, he could be just Wakui giving us some context + inupi finding a way like another to introduce the "i want to recreate the gang" topic, because i doubt Inupi would have waited to get out of juvie to get info about his beloved gang)

I agree that Inupi probably didn't spent more than a year in reform school (i mean, Tora didn't stay long in juvie the first time, when he killed Shin) But when Inupi is released from juvie he's in his 3rd year of middle school -but we don't know what time of the year was, the only hint is that Koko's uniform was not the summer one- and 9th BD was no more(ch.105)

I mean, depending on when the fire happened, Inupi could have spent his birthday at the hospital, it's a possibility. Unfortunately, Wakui has been quite vague with the dates, so we are sure Inupi and Koko were in elementary school when the fire happens, that Koko is younger than Inupi, the year of release from juvie of Inupi, but the rest is up to our imagination I guess

Oda's comment from One Piece Color Walk 4 Eagle: It's King Sea Hippo! Looks like we know what's for dinner tonight! Everybody get ready to fight! Chopper and Robin are keeping their distance; they're just here to watch. On the distant shore, Usopp's brand new "Usopp Glidecycle" takes flight!

Nami: "To the left!" Whap! Usopp: "Look out, Luffy! Outta the waaay!!" So, what do you suppose tonight's dinner turned out to be?

Gotta love how Oda paints a scene! The right side of the frame is ready for action while the left side is just trying to make it out alive. Chopper and Robin are surprisingly calm; Robin looks annoyed that her nap was interrupted while Chopper is happily steering their little boat towards the sea king. Nami and Usopp are losing their minds and getting in the way, and the monster trio are having too much fun.

Fun little details: Usopp's Glidecycle has a second seat but Nami refuses to use it. Sanji is sitting on a green cushion and his sandals have a flower design. The hippo has crosses on its crown and Luffy's pants have a chain (usually Sanji's thing)

That page of hinata looking back at a Kageyama that gave him the first toss ever before falling out of fever and exhaustion. Your tags were interesting could u pls break it down?? Is it a full circle of view from the top narrative or Kageyama being the first setter to give him a toss so a silent thank you?

Ngl I write so much about haikyuu and tumblr's search is so bad that I wasn't able to pinpoint the post you're talking about but i'm pretty sure it's about these panel from ch 364 during the kamomedai match. (if it's not, feel free to send another ask and i'll do my best to reply)

In a way it is a full circle moment, both for their partnership but also for Karasuno and where the two of them stand within the team? Hmm, i'l try to explain this.

So the panel on the left is the first time Kageyama's ever set for Hinata, back in ch 4 when they're practicing for the 3 on 3 match. And at the time, Kageyama was refusing to set for Hinata because well, Hinata sucks and Kageyama won't set for people who are unnecessary to win. But they're still together, practicing recieves at like 5:30 in the morning because they don't really have a choice but to work together and then this happens

And Kageyama- who has been frustrated this entire time because no one else around him understand, who struggles with being the only one who is always going for every ball with the same desperate desire- is inexplicably moved by this, by Hinata putting in this much effort and hurting himself for a ball that ultimately doesn't matter much at the end of a long practice when he's getting tossed to by a guy who doesn't even respect him. So finally, after like 3 chapters of refusing to set for Hinata, Kageyama finally does. And it's significant that he's doing it here when when Hinata's exhausted and just completed a decent receive and for once, not actually asking for or expecting a set (it's a bit of a challenge too: i'm finally giving you this but when you're in a terrible condition, do you still want it?; it's a bit of a plea: won't you show me again? that you'll try for volleyball, that you won't give up no matter how tired, no matter how hard?)

Back to the present moment, it's in some ways the same thing but upgraded, a measure of how far they've come that Hinata can make an excellent receive and Kageyama looks at him and says, nope not enough come here now and finish it, won't you? and Hinata does!! Because he will always rise to the occasion, always drag himself back up if it means he can spike and all of these are facts that are firmly entrenched in both of them now

Back then Kageyama could barely dare to hope that someone would ever be able to match him and now he knows Hinata will and look at the way he fucking revels in the knowledge of all that.

But there is something else that's changed too. Namely that it's not just the two of them anymore.

It's not just Hinata now that can rise to Kageyama's expectations, it's all of Karasuno. It would be soo easy for any of them to not jump at the end of the 6th set of the day after back to back matches but they do. All of them jump, all of them are here now, caring just as much about volleyball and putting in just as much effort and the team as a whole is in sync, they're all united in this desire and it's a measure of how far they've all come together too.

And with the look at the end,

I think it's one part that they just completed something really cool and with each other so they're like reveling in the moment together but also one part that Kageyama sees Hinata fall and he realizes what's happening before everyone else does because he already suspected Hinata's sick and because he's got this uncanny knack for reading Hinata.

I think that covered everything about my thoughts on that panel. I hope this was what you were looking for, if it's not , feel free to send another ask clarifying like I said before. Also this ask gave me a much appreciated excuse to reread the Komamedai ask so thanks for that, anon.
