⚠️ Midnight Ending Spoilers!!!!! Below cut!!! ⚠️

you guys were not kidding that ending lives up to the hype. BAFFLING. COMPELS ME. I LOVE YOU MAYA

I'd usually ramble in the tags, but spoilers, so I'll ramble here instead. People probably see Maya as a trans woman the same way Kei is a canon trans man, and I support and agree with them!! Personally, however, I'm inclined to headcanon Maya as bigender, I think! Both a woman and a man at the same time.

They say that Midnight will forget his past life and grow into her new identity as Maya, but I feel you can't forget so easily. While she accepts her new life in a woman's body-- Mari's body-- there's still that brain that has spent the past 20-something years being a man. It wasn't a gradual transition, it was very sudden, like gender whiplash.

It's still a transfeminine narrative, but it's important to me that Maya is both Midnight and Mari, hence: bigender. Two, together, as one.

On March 6, 2024, Apple released a live action short film based on Osamu Tezuka's manga, Midnight.

The film is largely based on Act 25 (Chapter 25) of the manga.

The film was directed by Takashi Miike.

In the film, a mysterious taxi driver (Midnight) lends a hand to Kaede, a young girl chased by assassins.

Osamu Tezuka's Midnight manga ran in two parts: Part 1 ran from May 2, 1986 to June 12, 1987, and Part 2 ran from July 10, 1987 to September 18, 1987.

midnight fancam cuz im still not over him

Sometimes thinking about how full of love Astro is makes my heart hurt. Like genuinely almost crying. It is so important to remember that he would love you. No matter who you are he would love you.

If you are so full of self loathing you cannot get out of bed, imagine seeing him look at you sadly bc he simply cannot understand. He wants you to feel better!

He remembers feeling inadequate- of course he does! Finding out the only person he cared about could not love him for who he is was the impetus for the greatest change of his life! That's why he would love you for who you are. He knows how much it hurts to believe otherwise.

Goddddd I love him so much!!! The baby boy of all time

Money! Money! Money! was the first Blackjack chapter I read... I was so shocked to see a human Uran and was really confused cause she was referred to as a different name but on one panel was sill called Uran??

Yeah, it can be confusing - it's a nod to the Tezuka Star System meta of all the characters being actors playing roles. So its simply a fourth wall breaking joke, since Uran is her original appearance. It is indeed Uran - she's just called Kasumi this time around, and is human.

Happens a lot in Tezuka stories. Such as Marine Express where Ochan is Ochan, he's just simply named Dr. Narzenkopf (iirc)

Theres a story in Midnight where human Atom and Uran appear, and they're adults. I don't recall that we had ever gotten Uran's name in this, but Atom is named Kanda.
