i want to see people to be talking about this panel in the promised neverland

tpn theory type stuff below cut

google search and stuff has gotten pretty bad so that might be why i'm struggling so much to find theories on this but omg it's a little frustrating because this is the coolest panel.

for anyone that doesn't remember, this was at the demon temple that showed them how to reach the seven walls.

there's one specific thing here that interests me the most, and it's the main reason i think this panel is so interesting, but there's so many other significant things to discuss here so i'll just get through some quickly.

at the top we see what i think is almost definitely the night and day, and the demon god. there're then lines pointing to the beginning of the evolution tree with the small bacteria-like first demons. i think this is telling us that the demon god is the originator of all of the demons. that's pretty huge?? i haven't heard anyone ever talk about that. i don't think this is far-fetched at all too. i strongly believe in this theory.

under the bacteria-like demons are these bipedal, horned, almost human-like demons. i'm less sure about what these are and i think this is more up for debate but i'm guessing these are a slightly evolved form of the first demons from eating lots of small things and slowly working their way a little up the food chain. with slight variations probably from slightly different diets.

under that, we see the demon evolution that we are familiar with.

they eat a fish, they become a fish-like demon. they eat a human, they become the familiar human-like demon. they eat bugs or other small wild creatures, they become the also familiar wild demon. (side note: we know humanoid demons also eat bugs alongside humans which is interesting. what unique affect to bugs have on them?)

it's showing us what the demons will evolve into after eating certain organisms. it all seems to align with what we know from normans research so far.

except for one thing. this is the thing that interests me more than anything else.

UNDER THE SNAKE CREATURE THERE'S JUST AN X.

WHY TF CANT THEY EAT SNAKES.

i don't think we ever get even a hint towards what this could mean in the manga.

gonna be real, i think even if i tried to look for patterns myself, i wouldn't know enough about biology to find much. i don't know much of anything about biology. i think the only thing i take away from this is that for some reason they can't eat snakes.

this stuff intrigues me so much and i just wish i could find more theories out there on this. rahhhh it's so cool. i just want an answer.

oh wait also what is this thing i dunno

honestly i can't make it out

anyway thanks for reading, i don't post about TPN but i just finished rereading all 20 volumes. i probably won't post about it again i just want to get this out

I totally get why Goldy Pond is a fan-favorite story arc but having read what comes right after it I like the Cuvitidala arc even more. Depsite its short length it manages to pack in some fantastic moments. Here are my personal highlights:

-Spoilers Below-

Getting to see Phil again and see him struggling with being the only one who knows the truth while also getting a glimpse of what happened after the Grace Field fire was really nice. Plus, it's always great to see one of your favorite characters pop up again after not seeing them for awhile (at least in the main story, he shows up in a few side stories).

I wasn't expecting the writers to kill of Yugo but I think the way it was handled brought his character arc to a satisfying, albeit tragic, conclusion. He learns to be a part of a family again and he can't imagine going through losing another. Even if it means he won't get to see them again, he'll do whatever he can to ensure their future. The panels showing him reuniting with his family in what I think is supposed to represent the afterlife was such a bittersweet moment.

Andrew really made the most of his brief encounter with Emma and company. Seeing him with half his face blown off and the way he spoke to and about the kids was genuinely terrifying. Monsters eating humans is one thing but having a human refer to not only his fellow man but children on top of that as mere food, pigs to be slaughtered was next-level. The whole confrontation was really tense and the way Andrew goes out was the icing on the cake. Eaten by a wild demon. His attitude most likely came from his high status and while the more civilized demons may have respected him, status means nothing to a wild monster so he's just another meal.

Finally, there's the beginning of the next story arc which I'm going to start reading as soon as I finish typing this up. The Promised Neverland's story never fails to build intrigue and as always I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes.

*Yes, but only because they're young and they don't want to go through with the potentially painful process of having them removed until they're older. **This is very much a case-by-case matter, but I don't have strong opinions or headcanons for specific characters about it. ***This is very much a case-by-case matter, and I do have strong opinions or headcanons for one or a few specific characters regarding this subject.

Me whenever I remember Don, Emma, Gilda, and Ray spent more time with Zack than Lucas or Yuugo but I rarely see any Big Bro Zack works of him interacting with them </3

Chapter 154: "A Breakthrough"

Hearing someone declare that they wanna turn their life around and live hits the feelings hard every single time. From Ray, to Yuugo, with Norman now and eventually with Isabella as well, I'm glad they all found something to cherish during their lives.

Imagine planning out this entire extermination idea, creating a poison to wipe out the demons, going out to destroy farms and make alliances, keeping the paradise hideout under control, on top of dealing with such troublesome seizures. Not to mention that he suffered from them during his time at Lambda when he had to worry about the daily tests and preparing an escape in secret away from the staff's eyes. It's a miracle Norman didn't crash sooner.

Emma doesn't look too happy that he kept such a serious problem to himself but at least Norman's apologizing for it now. Still wish he apologized for not waiting for her & Ray to return like he promised but I understand the extermination plan couldn't wait since it had a set date, on top of the Lambda crew all slowly dying.

Forget about the medications, Vincent needs some serious chill pills.

Cislo best Lambda child confirmed. He's seriously so sweet. He needs more love.

I like how well "supposedly" is used here because it's true how Ray, Emma, Don & Gilda wouldn't truly know for themselves if Adam had any seizures during the last couple years since the four of them were away from the shelter the majority of the time while searching for Cuvitidala & the Seven Walls.

Of course our medics Anna & Sandy are already testing stuff out but I love how Rossi is there helping too since we saw him learning from Lucas in ch97. It's cute how him & Jemima are trying to keep Adam distracted and calm. I wish we got to see more of this group figure out a cure for the seizures, especially since it would give more focus to characters like Sonya, Nat and the two troublemakers who we all haven't seen them do much of anything recently. Granted, they didn't have much time to work out a solution between Jin informing everyone of the situation and the demon soldiers attacking the base, but it would've been something. We don't hear much of this issue again until ch181 when we learn the medicine was already developed and everyone in Lambda had their side effects taken care of.

I know I praise Emma for getting back up after her stab wound from Leuvis, but Barbara is on a whole other level seeing how this girl didn't pass out once. She doesn't even have protagonist plot armor to rely on. Lambda kids are totally built differently.

How did y'all not hear or see Legravalima get back up?? She's pretty hard to miss!

Favorite panel/moment:

I can't get over how good of a boy Cislo is. He knows his boss well.

All the younger kiddos being happy with Adam (although being reminded that Chris is still unconscious is upsetting!).

And lastly, Cislo's face here.

...I thought this was going to be a legit scene until I started reading the dialog, lmao. But hey, thanks for reminding me who the important looking demon from the flashes was.

Top three isn’t too surprising, and it’s very good to see my boy Phil getting the respect he deserves. I’m surprised Krone made it into the top ten, but this popularity poll was probably running at the same time as the anime. Anna’s also a weird surprise for 5th place. I feel bad for Don and Gilda, though not even top ten. Glad to see Yugo up there, he’s a good character.

Chapter 99: “Cuvitidala”

I dunno why Ray’s eyes aren’t colored black as usual in this volume but damn, he looks pretty like this too! And I can’t forget that big smile of his either, aww!

Mhhhmm yeah, it would make sense if Smee was the supporter since he’s so busy while at Lambda and therefore can’t really act out on his own with the many scientists and demons working there.

GF kids? Smart as hell. 28 year old man? Completely dumbfounded.

Even the GV kids are impressed. And I love how those from GF are all so interested to learn about new things, especially if it’ll help out their family’s goals. Isabella raised ‘em right.

Yuugo entering his protective father arc.

Emma definitely has a point that it would be smarter for Yuugo to stay behind and look after everyone living in the shelter. Not only to help protect them in case of any enemies show up, but to also assist with the daily shelter stuff like hunting and teaching them new skills. It’s also so sweet how the duo gives praise to Don & Gilda. It means so much to them they burst into tears!

They’re so thankful they’ll get to help out in the field alongside RE and I’m so happy this grants them some more focus. As safe and carefree as the shelter is, I wouldn’t wanna wait around day after day either.

With Paula up and moving again (huzzah!), we get this quick panel of the GP trio one last time before Zack heads out on the journey as well. I bet she and Oliver miss him when he’s away.

No one can be a perfect father figure right away like you, Lucas. It’s fun to witness Yuugo embrace his bunker dad side though, ain’t it? And our boy Rossi following Lucas’ suggestion and learning morse code just in case the supporters call back is so cute.

Favorite panel/moment:

Again, I love how confused and lost everyone from GV is when the GF kids are busy figuring stuff out.

This chapter is reminding me of the many reasons why I’ve come to love Yuugo. Even though he’s still concerned about the group that’s heading out to Cuvitidala, he decides to offer up a fair suggestion to them rather than dismiss Emma’s plan outright since he believes in her so much. Of course ya gotta love Gillian teasing him as usual too.
