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.

182 Days of TPN - Day 154

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 think abt this ray w longer hair in s2 concept art all the time. never forget what they took from you

[tutubola-moved-on]

what do you mean, fruits are supposed to be eaten??

[emmaspolaroid]

no one prepared Yuugo for this part of being (forcibly) adopted by the Grace Field kiddos

[thoma-and-lannion-daily]

Hey look! It’s my pfp! Because it’s the cutest!

[fullscoreshenanigans]

#please let this girl get her hair cut/styled by someone other than Anna and Gillian #no offense to them but they both have straight blonde hair #which is SO DIFFERENT from Jemima's hair

idc about canon or whatever Pepe and Sandy braided Jemima's hair :)

[radhakawaii]

tpn ppl please answer this poll real quick ily

[dojoliveblogs]

...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.

Is there an age limit for the Moms/Sisters?

For me it would be reasonable that after 60 Moms either die or become Grandma. But I'm not sure how this system works. 😅

No. It feels like it could be a thing, given the conditions we see the sister candidates in and the violent fates many meet that Shirai purposely brings to our attention.

(Chapter 170 | Chapter 181.2 | TPN Light Novel 2: Moms’ Song of Remembrance - “Searching for the Skies of Freedom”)

But despite the oppressive nature of the farm system easily lending itself to the idea, there's no mention of a hard age or time limit for moms and sisters. Assuming they don't make any grievous mistakes, it seems like they're allowed to live as long as they're useful.

(Chapter 165)

Unless they're set up to take the fall for someone else.

The second light novel goes into further detail about how due to the very limited number of positions outside of headquarters, some sisters choose to retrain and pursue other roles in the system.

But even then, it doesn't seem like they're allowed to pass away peacefully in their sleep due to old age and have that be the end of it. Under this system, their ultimate fate is to become food.

On the flip side of things, Krone specifically mentions Isabella becoming a mom at nineteen is an extraordinary feat.

(Chapter 181.2 | TPN Light Novel 2: Moms’ Song of Remembrance - “Searching for the Skies of Freedom”)

This happens when Krone is thirteen or fourteen, and while we don't know exactly when Sarah became grandma between Isabella entering headquarters at twelve and becoming a mom, I default to her assuming the role when Isabella is around eighteen or nineteen and installing Isabella at plant no.3 being one of her first major actions as grandma that would best serve herself.

(Chapter 181.3)

Though with Isabella's scores she had enough justification to frame it based entirely on merit and beneficial to the bottom line of the farms if she booted out another mom prematurely.

In the TPN volume 13 cover there's a big clock on the stairs , what do you think it refers to? 🤔

I think it's either a reference to the Gracefield clocktower, or it’s a symbolism for the demon!God that waits for them at the exit to the human world, which lies at Gracefield (James Ratri told them about this in their recording).

So, the cover that you mean is the two top pictures, with the left being the outside cover, and the right being the inside cover.

There are multiple clocks on the cover, with one big one at the top, and many little scattered around. Our view is angled upwards, and we can see the top of the tunnel that they are in.

One of the early chapters I have shown on the bottom left seems to have an identical location, with lots of small clocks on the walls. In both pictures, Emma holds a lamp. It seems to be the same place and time, but our view is angled slightly down, like we are lower down the same tunnel. At the bottom of the tunnel, you see Gracefield.

On the bottom right, we see Gracefield with a huge, tunnel like whole next to it, and Emma and the kids falling into this hole.

I think the hole/tunnel is a reference to the entranceway to the human world that the kids need to find and traverse, to go to the demon!God and/or the humans.

The clock itself could either be a reference to the clocktower at the top of Gracefield that you can see on the bottom pictures, or to the demon!God itself waiting for them at the top, at the surface.

We know that the demon!God has some control over time, since they were able to show Emma scenes from the past.

I have speculated that if there is a reference to Peter Pan for the demon!God and the dragon, it would be the crocodile with a clock inside it. Here is a funny visual representation where James Ratri is Cpt. James Hook.

So it may just be a visual hint that they are going to take the way across the Seven Walls at Gracefield that James says it has, and see the demon God at the top.

Btw fun fact: check those pics again, because ALL of them are connected by having Little Bunny on them as well...

[nagaikei-ajin]

im noticing new things from my rereading but we never really addressed the missing pages ever again did we.

and the fact that the cover has dragons on it, makes me think back to cuvitidala as well

and the fact that if this is the same book, i want to know what ray says he didnt understand about it considering it was a mythology book.
