Short notes.

1- Aoi's knowledge over her family situation and the supernatural world.

In this new timeline, it's interesting to remark Aoi knows about supernaturals and is talking about that casually, she also gets the thing about the blood of her family and all. In the old one she didn't, not until the encounter with No.6, right there she interacted with the supernatural world 'directly'. This new timeline seems to have something about it. Or at least what's between the Akane and Minamoto families. It seems in timeline * (the one we're used to), the Minamoto and Akane families are mostly 'separated' on the supernatural regard in a sense, unlike in this new timeline, somehow Teru's remark made it sound as if they lost interest in the Akane girls after the 7 mysteries system was made to be a replacement of the old sacrifice system. Maybe they just kept a close eye on them from afar, just in case if something were to go wrong.

As for the engagement, the grandfathers are said to be the ones after it... I do wonder if Grandmother Minamoto shall fit in here, too. Will we get the chance to see her? Hmm...

2- The seven mysteries existence.

This, for the most part, seems like a wrong guess.

Ok, so we know Kamomi academy, it's still this in this new timeline, it still has rumors to go around, these rumors are real, e.g. Tsukasa's rumor.

What are the 'pillars' of this grand school?

The 7 mysteries. They need to be there. And, logically following the timeline, apparently, the year No.1 seem to target is

So, the change shall go to around 50 years back only.

We know Tsukasa's assistant was locked at school for more than 100 years, and what she needs to happen to break free is to have the yorishiros destroyed. That simply means, the yorishiros existence go further back in time than just 50 years, it also means, as a yorishiro is a mystery's most prized possession, the 7 mysteries existed way back in time, at least more than 100 years ago.

So, following that, the 7 mysteries are still there, they never went anywhere. But perhaps some seats don't have the same mystery. the funniest remark to make on this, if No.3 is that bird, it's still alive in this new timeline. lol according to No.1's tree of change, that seems to be the case.

We also have Tsukasa's assistant's words to Nene over the issue in ch 95, there were mysteries before No.6 who lost their seats by destroying their yorishiro with their own hands, if the 7 are only the ones we know, then they started by Hanako's time, but none lost their position as she explained, by destroying their yorishiro themselves before No.6 did.

In this new timeline, Akane is still a mystery, the clock of No.1 is there and at full power to be used by them, the key is still there, there is a yorishiro there, No.1 are known to be oldest of the 7 mysteries, and of course, just like everything regarding that system is still there, so is Tsukasa's assistant. These seem to be a lot to be considered 'glitches'.

3- Bringing her into light for a moment.

I do wonder how is she is managing with a world supposedly without Tsukasa, and what's in him. I do smell something fishy in there, a girl to spread rumors, Tsukasa has one, it can be Amane is the one to spread it, but what is her rule in this arc, or would she have nothing to do? Based on p.p arc, she was just there for a few pages and that's all. Will this be the case here or not? Going with the facts we know about her so far... I don't think that would be the case. I'm simply interested in anything to hold ties with Tsukasa, so a girl to have a 'bond' with him in timeline *, one to be there trying for more than 100 years to break free, needs to be up to something, who knows what she is doing in this reality, maybe she can be like Nene, remembers all about the one we know and is trying to bring timeline * back.

Anyway, another point to bring up, is how Teru thinks much about the Akane girls, the 7 mysteries system, yet never pays attention to her. Not even when she was mentioned in the court. Nether he nor No.1 (the oldest among the mysteries) did. I find that pretty weird, knowing the position she holds is directly related to the 7 and the system.

Yes, based on the Akane's situation in the new timeline, Teru simply made the concluding of: the 7 mysteries might not exist. Why not bring the girl in connection to them and the yorishiro into the picture?

Doesn't the Minamoto family know ALL there is to this system? Aren't they even the protectors and ones in charge of it? He knows about how special the Akane girls are, Nene, the truth behind the school, the 7 mysteries, but... why is she left out? It's not like her rule is less important not to be brought to light. Something doesn't feel right.

Is he oblivious to her existence and rule and all? How? It's not something small.

So we're left with, what is her state in this new timeline, how is she managing without Tsukasa, what is she doing and is up to. If she were to be brought up. Oh, yeah.. forgot about her dog.. he shares the same questions as her. *yawn

4- Teru's mother.

It seems she lost her life a little after Taira was born. Wow, among the things to change in this timeline I listed in one of my previous posts, one was about having her alive, and I was right, here she is. She is alive for real. Honestly, I only expected that before because she was brought up in the red house as a possible wish for Kou to make mentioned by "Tsukasa", nothing beyond that. Now since it's real... I wonder if she, also, was a case like Aoi's. One with special blood, or something special about her family, so their father can marry her the same way as Teru and Aoi. The Minamoto family also seems to have special blood, maybe due to them being an exorcist of a family...

or maybe... the special blood of a girl of a special family can be passed into generations, you can see the Minamoto going they are the ones worthy to possess such blood in their family. If that's the case, we might also consider Teru's blood in here, might have a root to his mother's. It really seems her death is not that peaceful now, something supernatural is in it. Something about her bloodline again? It's either the supernaturals got her somehow, or she was sacrificed for some special reason? The Minamoto are that type of a family, they can do that, it's expected from them. They call such things a needed sacrifice when the need calls for it. The question is, what was that need exactly? Isn't a similar case the reason why Teru also said in this new timeline he'll benefit from Aoi, given her family situation? Unless there is more to her blood/family than meets the eye, but Teru never mentioned that. He only went with the facts we know. But who knows...

From the face he showed

Maybe the mention of his mother still being alive gave him an idea to reach a stable conclusion on the reality they are in, his face, his words,

seem to convey he get all he needs to know there regarding his investigation, or at least most of it. What was the significant change in evets to result in this new timeline to be born... "That's" sounds to be emphasized to me.

I really wonder if his face here is not one of: I'm sad for my mother's death, but he knows the real reason why she died. The difference between the two boys' reactions, I used to think it's because he is tougher than Kou and all, more open with how dark the world is, but it might have more to it.

Bringing the red house situation into light, the wish Tsukasa suggested to Kou was a sort of exchange of what for what? Nene's life (soul) in exchange for his mother? The price needs to be on feet of the sacrifice.. a kannagi soul.. for another? A special gifted girl for another??

We did get this exchange before: Aoi for Nene (kanangi for kanangi) --Nene for the mother is... (kannagi for ???)

Having her death altered by Tsukasa's 'nonexistence' in this new trimline also suggest her death wasn't an ordinary one. What does Tsukasa have to do with it? Where is the catch?

We get the rule he plays with Mitsuba's and Mei's stories. But hers... her 'life' was mentioned by him in the red house.. but is that only it?

This little Tsu is something special. As interesting as ever. He makes you do some thinking and more thinking, he moves things is lots of ways, he always has things going in really fascinating ways. Uh, who can't wait to have him back so the events can finally, finally, reach their peak!!!

SUS!Teacher Amane/Amane shall play a rule... Nene too... These 3 make you get excited. The key is to wait... wait...

Speaking of Sir Tsukasa...

5- Tsukasa - Mitsuba (Sousuke) -Kou issue.

So, Mit seems to not be able to help himself but run into Tsukasa. lol

We changed realties so you can live boy, but nah. In timeline *, he took a pic of the red house, died, ghost him made a wish to Tsu, gone. And this time, he is going after Tsukasa again. It's as if he is running from death, yet death will still find a way to him no matter what (Tsuchi's words), almost the same way. Sad and funny.

He shall meet his end with a case connected to Tsukasa, like in timeline *. Funnily enough, in a world that's supposed to have no Tsukasa in it. But he is there, and well, Mit shall face that, even if the circumstances changed. what I assume, maybe he will end up dying (or making a wish to Tsukasa like in the original, having his life as price), who knows.…… he is going to a scary path with his own feet.

And talking about KOU, it's SO funny!!!!! We will be getting some: 'new timeline Tsukasa' - Kou interactions = revenge/hatred relationship on Kou's side once more. ~

Can't lie, I'm excited for it. To see Kou shouting at ANOTHER Tsukasa, and this another Tsukasa is so chill. ~ I really want to meet this new timeline version of Tsu, but who knows when, I still wonder whether it will be the 12 y.o one or the 4 y.o one, and I hope we won't end up having 2 versions of the 12 y.o one........ So, it seems no matter how much you change realties, this Kou (Mit ends up horribly) Tsukasa issue is there. I hate how Kou is so irreasonable to blame Tsukasa and all, but I love laughing at his anger while Tsukasa is chill about it. ~ Seriously! He promised to hit 4 y.o Tsu next time they meet!!! LOL if it's indeed 4 y.o Tsu in this reality it will be so funny. And then he meets yorishiro Tsu and… you know how that ALWAYS goes, until ch 99 was there and Kou ended up crying. Don't challenge Tsukasa, really, no one in this grand story is a match for him, give it up. ~

These last few chapters are what I would like to call the calm before the storm. It looks like Aidairo are setting up things, to have some crazy stuff happen later. It's just a matter of time. Will the storm come together with Tsukasa??? UHHHHHHHH!! YES, PLEASE!!! I mean, last chapter and this whole arc focus on Tsukasa's rumor, AND this whole present is one built on Tsukasa's existence! He is the star (MOON) around here! Tsukasa~ Tsukasa~ Tsukasa~ .... what FULLY takes over my mind in this grand manga. ~ I'm always fascinated by him, even when he is 'not' there, he has a huge significance. It's insane how 'rooted' in the world structure of the story he is. Wow, truly a TSUKASA. I've come a long road and this boy never disappointed me once, really… wow… he is THE KING! 💜✨

********

Ok, on this note my part comes to an end, time for @thelunarfairy to keep going. ~

Ch: 113

Just a small point from many others. It seems Tsuchigomori will play a nice rule this arc, I wonder if Nene would go see him, she did before in the mermaid case, they are trying to see what's different in that timeline, he is still there, so it's a smart move to go see him, he did tell her to come seek his help, for he is still her teacher, didn't he? The one to have lots of information about the twins, seeking him feels like a smart move. Well, I want to see her seeing the pic of older Amane he has on his desk! Imagine she goes: who is that? Hanko's descendent? lol Again, like with Tsukasa! Or she goes that's a hot man to look like Hanako-kun. I also do want to see her, someway, going to seek Tsukasa's help. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!! ANY Tsukasa!!!! even though my heart goes wanting it to be the 12 y.o one! or the yori one, if he is still there, somehow!!

The old No.3 is STILL there. Tsu didn't end him. XD That lame, annoying, stupid, worthless little bird is still there. And along the way it came to me: won't it be so easy for our guys to use No3's power, the windows in the school to see the record of what happened there, maybe that can help them, but first they need to tame that bird, which I think would be easy, Teru and Akane are there, I really wonder how Nene would connect the dots in that world to finally find what has changed to result in what we're having. If she caught a sight of Mit with Kou when Kou went to her.. she really should be wondering how is he is still alive.. what has changed… what has changed so Kou doesn't know her… she met him thanks to Hanako, she did say Hanako is nowhere to be found, so here we are… you found a segnificat change! How did we get Hanako to be there in the first place? he killed Tsu then himself! In the red house, you went: if we returned little Tsu home, then that would mean Hanako didn't kill anyone (I know she is acting stupid there), but here! no Hanako = he didn't kill Tsu nor himself! WHERE IS AMANE THEN? what happened to him? where is Tsukasa? what happened to him? the pic with Tsuchi!!! I NEED HER TO SEE IT!!! Tsuchi did tell her before about Amane's original future, it's right there! the dots Nene!! You know No.1 changed things according to what they saw the problem. Who they accused to be guilty???? TSUKASA!! YOU KNOW THAT!!! So they did something to him, and then Amane surely would be affected too!

I hate Akane for this, if he talked, and just gave them a clue! HE KNOWS, THE CHANGE IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE TSUKASA NO LONGER THERE!!! That's one HUGE point for the investigation, yet he was crying over Aoi. UGH. If he talked, the investigation won't be about: what is the reason for the change, it would be about what changed having the reason not there. If he talked, there would be no much need for investigation! We know what changed to result in what we have! And then.. he can tell the year can't he??? The year was there on the clock when the two left, couldn't he see it??? In fact, if Nene connected what Tsu told her, ahem, about the festival they had when he was a first year, Hanako's words about him having to fix the clock BEFORE that festival comes to an end, she can see things happened there, that's the thing Nene. Please……….. please… Nene... think fast.

Day 6 Past!

(no new art. my arm hurts. yall get grimm sketches instead)

So when grimm was born she was stolen n sold. Cause her parents pissed off agate at some point :/

Where she was sold to is a research facility that worked on cures for various diseases.

Yknow the episode of doctor who with the cat nurses? This one :

It's like that.

When she was 5 agate decided to rob the place she was at n took all the patients so they'd have to buy em back. She didn't know who grimm was. But she did decide to keep her so that's where grimms been since :3c

She n felicity got married when she was 12 cause ppl kept asking agate if they could n she got really annoyed so made grimm pick someone on the ship :/

When she was 16 is when ferris unwillingly joined the ship, she blinded him in one eye in the process but they quickly became friends after :)

Then at 20 she died. Then got kidnapped by cosmo n lauren. Then agate got her back n made cosmo n lauren also unwillingly join the ship! As one does :)

Now she is 23 (20(3)) and she is the worst girl in the universe!

She also is still sick and gets sick pretty often cause the whole labrat thing. And since cosmo n lauren are doctors that specifically work on sirens it's why agate decided they weren't leaving. Grimm makes their lives hell tho cause she is Terrified of hospitals/doctors/needles ect ect

Uhh let's see. She has 6 siblings 1 is human the others are all agates kids. The 5 that are agates all hate agate n want her dead. The 1 human is another kid agate stole at some point, he's currently on earth! He is 35 (not really important for bitten off but is for Sloan n Beatrices story)

[always-a-joyful-note]

Hope you don't mind mind random PMs! I just thought I'd let you know how much I've been enjoying your Ainana posts as of late. I also thought I'd share one of my favourite ZOOL comics on Pixiv here (https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/84180511) that you might find fun. Scroll down to the one that's based on their Beyond the Period performance where Haruka tells the audience that he loves them for maximum hilarity. Veeeery rough and condensed translation but basically it goes:

Touma: (Wow, Haru is actually saying 'I love you' to the fans. He sure has become cool. Okay, I should say it too.) I love... you... (Huh? Those two are really staring at me for some reason.)

Torao: Did you hear that, everyone? Touma just said he loves me.

Haruka: No, he looked at me when he said it.

Torao: He was looking at me longer though.

Haruka: No, he was looking at me 5 seconds longer than you.

And then while Touma's being all what the heck are you guys talking about, it's like...

Minami: I'm the only one you didn't say 'I love you' to.

Touma: No, it's not like that, Mina. When I said 'I love you', I meant -

Minami: I'M THE ONLY ONE YOU DIDN'T SAY 'I LOVE YOU' TO.

Touma: OKAY OKAY YOU'RE SCARING ME

Feel free to check out the artist's other comics for more clueless Touma and possessive ZOOL shenanigans. <3

HELP I'M DYING. That was SO good! The expressions and the progression of events was GOLD. They are a comedy of errors or something, and thank you so much for the tl!! The fact that Toma is simultaneously Zool's father figure and collective son will never not be funny to me.

And nooo, I'm always happy to have my inbox spammed for these kinds of asks! Thank you, OP! That's so sweet of you to say, and to take the time to share fanart you like!

Also, tagging resident zool lover @msperfectsheep-posts
