Thinking about the implications of the Arc Eggs in Shugo Chara!... If the Hearts Eggs are the wishes of a child distilled to their purest, and X-Eggs are a corrupted dream that takes that idea of innocent passion and pushes it to self hatred and giving up, what does that mean for an artificially manufactured egg? We've SEEN one of those before, albeit on a far smaller scale, with Ikuto and the Black egg, and I would argue that it represented a caging responsibility of a dream for the Company, rather than Ikuto himself.

I think the Arc Eggs may honestly not be far from that idea on a far larger scale.

This is a middle school. Young children are encouraged to express themselves and chase dreams and believe in themselves, but middle grades are when a LOT of the pressures- both internal and external- really start to ramp up.

All of the other kinds of eggs in this series* have been a metaphorical representation, and the Arc Eggs most definitely follow suit.

The students at Arcana Academy are HANDED eggs because they’ve been GIVEN someone else’s dreams- as starts being apparent in middle grade kids. They are disheartened when they can’t live up to the potential that parents or teachers or otherwise influential figures placed on them, and the dream goes sour.

No wonder there are so many X-Egg reports, and no wonder Amu couldn't cleanse that X-Egg. Her method relies on reminding people what their dreams are in the first place, but if these AREN’T their real dreams and if they don’t know who they’re supposed to be WITHOUT the dream that has been given to them, what is she meant to be convincing them?

This whole storyline of gamifying the act of living out artificial dreams is so bleak, and I'm so excited to see how things play out!

(*As much as I love the anime, the question mark eggs feel out of place in the metaphor. Because YES, you can be confused or obsessive over a dream and it can drive you to obsession and one-track mind-ism that is unhealthy, but the active mechanics of the ?eggs are far more convoluted than the other depictions we see in the story so it's hard to bring them up in this kind of conversation)
