Let's talk about the clock keepers in the new chapter!!

It's not a surprise to see that they had more in their sleeves, putting up an act to get all the information they wanted. Kako said it after all, he is the one observing. And he will gather what he needs before making a move, showing he deserves his title as the oldest supernatural. Hanako being the leader doesn’t seem to matter a lot to him in the end. He clearly has had his plan for a long time. It's not a shock to see he recognizes what came back with Tsukasa from the red house, probably knowing the entity from before.

Even if it was an act and all of them knew what the end result would be. The reactions Akane and Mirai had for each other in the last chapter were real. Akane was never shield in the manga, being the one doing it most of the time. So his reaction towards Mirai taking the blow for him is absolutely genuine, especially when he tried so hard to make her run away. And we can see it again when we see how slowly he takes her out of the water to give her back to Kako. Akane even reprimands the old man about being slow and Mirai having to go through this at first. 

This chapter highlights the clock keepers relationship too. Akane has been before in the innermost reach, he clearly knows what he is doing here, entering the house like nothing and actually setting things up for tea knowing Kako would like it. Being considered as a whole clock keeper, Kako and Mirai trust him not to do anything bad even in their most vulnerable state.

Kako watches over Mirai like a worried father, being happy when she is back and is still pushing Akane to find the answers himself, always in a teaching position. Akane is quick to scold Mirai about her actions, clearly seeing her more as a kid than a real supernatural being. He is seen worried for her and tells her right away not to do something like this ever again. On her side, Mirai is overjoyed to see Akane, the first question coming out of her mouth asking if he is hurt, and she seems rather shocked to see him being so worried about her, jumping on his head right away to praise him for being a nice boy.

They are way more genuine in their physical contact and actions. Akane is not refusing Kako’s headpat even though he has an angry/solemn expression when accepting it, the old man is smiling at Mirai and Akane the whole chapter while Mirai is being her usual clingy self. 

Kako clearly has been observing things and waited until the right moment to take actions. They are coming back in time to fix things up, and will sleep until the new present is stable. And for this they trust the clock keeper of the present to take care of the duty that was placed upon him.  

Akane is a wonderful pick for the present. His personality and way of life has always shown he was the only character who would be able to handle this role. He is a duty centered and really proactive boy, and most of all, sees how life is worth living. Even if he never feared the idea of getting hurt, we can clearly see how much he takes his role at heart. He now knows he has to live if the idea of a better present can exist. 

Kako knows Akane is able to handle all of it which is why they can leave without being worried about the new present, they absolutely believe Akane will be able to fulfill his duty. In the end, it’s Akane who keeps the yorishiro with him.  They trust him to make sure everything is in order and not die until he can use the key to get them out of the clock once they awaken. Kako’s last word to Akane is once again one with a teaching tone, praising him for a job he will do, showing he thinks he will handle it. 

One of Kako’s strongest traits is observation too. And Akane is really good at that, he is one of the most observant and perceptive characters of the whole cast. His mission will be all about seeing if the events really changed, acting like a memory of a present which doesn’t exist anymore. Having a human among the clock keepers to have eyes in the human world seems also like a logical choice. To know the whole situation Kako needs eyes in the human realm too, and Akane shares his informations with him when he think it's important.

Akane has known his role for a long time. Once he heard that he had his duty to do, his expression is hard to see because he KNOWS what the implications are. He is aware of what it means, he isn’t happy with this, he clenches the yorishiro once he has it, he says he doesn’t have a choice to Teru. Because even if Akane complains, he does things he is asked to do.

 Akane’s sense of justice has always been a big part of his character, and it’s also a big part of the clock keepers. Of course he wants the present to be better and goes with the clock keepers’ idea, erasing a problem at its root to help the majority of people and protect the persons he cares for is something Akane would never refuse.

He has no problem doing it even if he doesn’t want to be on the clock keepers’ side, because he knows he can do something ‘right’. He still trusts Kako on this one, embracing his role as the guardian of the present fully. The old man did say it would be good for humans after all.

How long has Akane been thinking about changing the present? Even if it means erasing the severance I don’t know how he would react seeing that Aoi never lived it. Having a world where she never got to know supernaturals, never was left dead all alone on the far shore and never got her hand hurt. It can’t be so bad right? 

But the more I think about it the more I go ‘was this present really THAT bad?’ Aoi has to go through her horrible everyday life once again, thinking that no one will ever love her for who she is and Akane definitely doesn't want that.

His talk to Teru also implies that Teru and Nene may remember since they were stopped by his time power. He trusts Teru to understand what is happening and help him with this new reality or hoping not everything will have changed. 

If we focus quickly on Amane and Tsuchigomori. They seem to have go back in 1968 so Amane was a middle schooler. Tsuchigomori and him had the talk about the moon in 1969 (after the 20th of July) so Tsuchi may not have the same yorishiro either. Would Amane live this time? Not sure, the reason he was trying to destroy the big clock may be related to the clock keepers going back in Time. I wonder what the clock Amane was working on really represents.

We can see this clock indicating the hour exactly like when Akane is stopping time, suggesting that it is really the one controlling the whole school time. It’s the first clock we see when the clock keepers are introduced too.

If Kako and Mirai really go back in time and erase everything they are visualizing on this. It would indeed mean a better control over the mysteries situations and the protection of the Land.

It means everything the mysteries went through won't happen. So the second Mitsuba won't exist, n°3 would still be here, Yako would still be waiting for Misaki to come back and won't go berserk, Shijima-san would still be in her boundary thinking she has no reason to exist expect hurting Mei-chan's memory, Hakubo would still be doing his duty without feeling anything and Sumire would still be living her death over and over again, not having anyone go see her in more than a century.

It means erasing all of the mysteries’ struggles and acceptance of what they are, not being bound by grief and regrets to do a job most of them didn't want to do. Would this present really be a good one? For the humans mostly it would be, it's the mysteries duties after all, and n°1 is ready to undo all the things each mystery went through to make sure humans have a good Present. They always have been more about humans than supernaturals. And this may also be the reason why Akane is okay with everything going on too. Kako sees this as his ultimate duty in the end, forcing all mysteries to embrace it even if they don't want to. Taking the matter at end without warning anyone since after all, no one will remember.

Another thing that has always been interesting to me, was the fact that the clock keepers look nothing like something out of Japanese Myths/folklore. It has always been strange to me to see they were labeled as the oldest supernaturals, when clocks weren’t that common in Japan before a long time.  The way they dress look way different compared to anyone else from the cast too. The closest look you could find was from the Meiji Era, which was mostly about Japan importing a lot of Western culture into their Land. I always thought that the clock keepers just couldn’t be from a Japanese folktale and this was confirmed in the last chapter. I had my supposition about where they were from,  but having an actual image of their old town helped me to focus more on it.

If we look at Clock making history we can easily focus on some countries, The Netherlands, Germany and England being the main ones. Now if we look at the architecture we get in this chapter, we can delete England from the list easily. This type of house is called Timbered framed houses. It can be found in Europe in different countries.

It’s important to note that the roofs on those houses are really really sharp on the illustration AidaIro gave us. Which means they were built for snow, so it can slide off the roofs more easily. The trees in the background are too blurry to see but it looks like forest of pines and the kids shown are holding one.

Now if I combine the two ideas of clock making and architecture I found here, my thoughts came to one city. Nuremberg in Germany. It’s a city known for its clock making history, there are mountains nearby and there is snow in this region during Winter. And more importantly The Nuremberg Egg.

It’s known as the ancestor of the pocket watch, created in the XVIth century.  

I don’t think AidaIro was inspired by a precise place but I think somewhere in this region of Europe could be a good pick for the inspiration of the city the clock keepers are from! Same can be said about the clothes the kids are wearing and the toy's shop which have vibes from this region too.

I’ve been thinking a bit more about what Kako and Mirai are really and it’s hard to say. With how Akane introduced them it could imply they were humans before. 

Why did they move to Japan and how did they become supernatural? Were they created or were they humans before? The idea of Kako creating a body to survive and creating Mirai is not out of the way since he is clearly the oldest and more experienced supernatural there is. A lot of questions with no answers for now but I am happy we get some glimpse of their old life.

I am also interested in the clock keeper of the present status too. Are they used to create different presents or if the present is fixed their role is finished? Did Kako and Mirai go back in time to change stuff before?

I don't think it happened recently. Nothing special has been happening at Kamome even with the whole Yugi suicide/murder history. The real problems started really once Nene met Hanako and Tsukasa woke up. Kako may have been observing things since a really long time, maybe putting some students as clock keepers of the present but never ‘activating’ their real role. Which may also be why Akane never was shown that stressed out about his role as a clock keeper, why would he be if all the previous clock keepers of the present never had to do this? What is supposed to happen to them once they have fulfilled their duty? Are they erased from the timeline to represent completely this new Present? Do they get to continue their life like nothing happens, being the only person having the memories of a world which doesn't exist anymore? How long do they stay alone until the other two wake up? Why insist so much on the idea he has to stay alive? So many questions I hope we will have answers on soon.

The story of the clock keepers is still really blurry but we are slowly getting more on them . AidaIro really showed us that they were mysteries the other characters shouldn't mess with and I am all for it.

future silver and sebek ermmmmmm yes plz 🫣🫣🫣🫣

The recent amajiki stuff makes me kinda sad that ochako was in the Designated Girl group with Nejire and not with the guy who actually has a surprising amount to bring to the table, and especially to her own arcs. Like, a lot of what comes up with him during the raid is stuff that’s very resonant with Uraraka’s own “who watches the watchmen saves the heroes” stuff and Toga’s “external pressures from expectations when help is what should be given instead” stuff.

You know what, you're absolutely right.

In the Overhaul Arc, Kirishima and Amajiki gained more confidence in themselves from Fatgum. Nighteye crafted Mirio into the hero he was up until this point. Izuku obtained new insecurities he couldn't previously fathom from working with Nighteye and Mirio.

What did Ochako gain from being in the same team as Ryukyu and Nejire in this arc? With her internship with Gunhead, Ochako gained more experience in close combat. But Ochako and Asui don't seem to learn anything crucial from Ryukyu the way the other UA students did from their mentors in this arc.

Ochako has no meaningful interactions or parallels with Nejire either. Nejire has more in common with Izuku, Bakugou, or Shouto than she does with Ochako. Her similarities with Shouto and Bakugou come down to people treating her as unapproachable because of her powerful quirk. She is also similar to Izuku in that both have an off-putting amount of interest in other people's quirks.

Ochako has more in common with Amajiki or Mirio than Nejire. Ochako and Mirio both have a similar simple, genki demeanor. They both had something to overcome (poverty versus a difficult quirk), but otherwise grew up fitting neatly within the lines of society's expectations. Amajiki and Ochako as you said have some similar philosophies on heroics in that heroes should also be saved and not all villains are beyond salvation.

But it doesn't seem like that much thought was put into it and Ochako and Nejire were just put in the designated girl group.

How about 5 headcanons for an AU where All Might can't pass on One for All unless all the vestiges agree? They are super-picky and have been preventing him from finding a successor for decades. It gets harder to get a unanimous vote with each new ghost added. Instead of clearing a beach, Izuku must win each vestige's approval to succeed All Might. Thank you!

*finger guns*

On it boss!

Let's make it clear that the choice for the next Successor is only taking so long because the Vestiges now have time. They have time to choose. Before it was so fast. They had to choose fast because the Users dropped dead far too fast. Shinomori, Banjou, and En's decisions were all unamionous agreement so quickly because their current holder was dying and they have to pass down the Light that may defeat AFO. With Nana and Yagi, they had time to choose. And boy oh boy they were using the time with Yagi to fucking choose.

Sir Nighteye here I feel like would be so frustrated over the fact that every single one of the Past Users have to agree. He is trying so hard to find a perfect successor for not only All Might but also the past users. The reason why Mirio was rejected was due to how Third and Second felt like he wouldn’t have the determination to truly push through all the boundaries to do the right thing.

When Yagi chose Izuku as his successor, he had to go and disclose to him that he must not only win the approval of Yagi but all then past users of OFA. You got to rizz them up Izuku. You got to win their approval so that OFA won’t just simply be “Unfortunate. You just swallowed hair.” Izuku still needs to clean up the garbage in the Beach though. Still got to get in shape and rizz Yagi after all.

Do want to say that all users have a different reason why they don’t believe Izuku is the right successor. En I always headcanon to have been the youngest OFA user before Izuku and when he got OFA that messed him up bad mentally. Do not have a kid be the next user that will ruin him. I don’t have everyone’s reasons but I do believe that Second would still have the doubt that Izuku wouldn’t be able to go through with the convictions and may be too soft.

Izuku basically goes through a history lesson and workout with this. He is learning about the world and what the past users went through and trying to empathize with them. Early past OFA user meet is always something I love.

[ghost-rainn]

not dead, but uni's absolutely been kickin my ass time wise lol. Did read all of db during my free time so here's a lil sketch dump dedicated to it i did to unwind a bit. all charas featured were suggested by a buddy :)

Art challenge: Draw the Mirai Nikki characters that suit this template!

Alrighty then!! Sorry I got a bit lazy

[heronoegg]

Please… nighteye, I must see him in your style…please I beg.

i love weird people

super could have drawn him better i know i could, also have some other things i did

i know shes not the fish lady but i wanted to give her fish qualities like glassy eyes and gills kinda, homegirl seems a little boney in the ribs, didn't feel like drawing the under boob people dislike if that's her style it's fine but me personally dont really care for it

that was me drawing her without the reference i forgot what her hair look like

[musicalmoritz]

Who would win in a fight? Mirai or Tiara?

Is this even a question?

My OP glorious blue-eyes princess most powerful character in the series would wipe the floor with Mirai

[i-ran-into-a-lampost]

Funniest shit ever is how both irl and in the verse the general reaction to someone not liking mebius is

[mstormcloud]

Do you have any gummy drawings by any chance and how did Espio and silver find/get gummy

Other than this one I made when I first designed him not really, oops! I decided to use this ask as motivation to draw him some more haha!

As for how he joined the family - Like Mirai, Gummy is adopted. Tbh I haven’t fully fleshed out his backstory yet, but the basic idea is that during a case, Espio ends up filing for the arrest of Gummy’s parents, though that unfortunately leaves Gummy parentless. Espio then decides to do a very impulsive thing and just being Gummy back home like Silver did with Mirai lol

The name Gummy came from “Gumshoe,” though that’s not his full name or anything lol just the name inspiration. Some of my irl friends have told me he looks like a fruit gummy or a gummy bear so it also fits that way lmao

I haven’t quite decided on his personality or interests yet! I think he’d be quieter than Mirai for sure, though that’s not very hard since she’s very loud haha! I played around with him being into gardening like Silver (mostly becuase I think the hat fits his design lol) but I’m not 100% sold on it yet. Gotta keep thinking haha

He gets brought home at about a year old when Mirai is 8, making them be around 7 years apart. He and Mirai get along surprisingly well but I feel like Gummy would often take advantage of his position as younger sibling and blame a lot of things on Mirai lol

Anyway yeah!!! Thank you sm for asking hehe I love talking about my ocs!! Always feel free to send me questions n such! Tho tbh I will prob take a few days to respond oops.

I just like this image

[ask-kuomiku]

happy miku

What’s a fun fact about Yuno Gasai that most people might not know?

A fun fact about Yuno Gasai that most people might not know is that her name means 'my wife' in Japanese.

It makes a lot of sense, because she dreamt of becoming Yukiteru's wife someday.

[delawaredetroit]

With that recent nejire post you made combined with that ask a while back about “designated girl group” I’m now trying to manifest a fascinating alternate universe where the divisions were completely different among students who go with the big three for this arc. If you had to rearrange the overhaul arc such that no canon 1A-big three internship pairing happened, who would you put at each place?

Hmm...I want to start off by saying that other than the designated girl group, I think the other team ups made sense. Mirio and Nighteye were there to give Izuku an existential crisis. Fatgum is good with characters with generic low self-confidence like Amajiki and Kirishima.

But if I had to switch it up...I would probably send Ochako to Sir Nighteye's Agency. Ochako also has a character arc that involves going beyond the status quo. She seems like the type who would have been inspired by Mirio's drive but thoroughly disappointed by his inability to buck the status quo to save a child in front of them. But it might have been more of a shock to someone like Ochako rather than Izuku because she always fit the norm and was not so accustomed to the unfairness.

I would probably put Asui at Nighteye's Agency as well mostly because she has no filter and it would be fun for someone other than Rocklock to call out Nighteye on his nonsense.

Momo should have gone to Fatgum's Agency. They have quirks with similar functions and Fatgum is good with interns who need to work on their self-esteem. Amajiki and Momo are similar in that they're both brilliant heroes who perform poorly in the sports festival compared to their actual abilities. Izuku probably would have grown the most if he went to Fatgum's Agency as well due to similar self-worth issues.

Iida needed to stay out of the Shie Hassaikai Arc no matter what. Izuku's Shoot Style was too new and Izuku needed to be emotionally unstable in this arc, so Iida had to be shelved.

As for the Ryukyu Agency, it's hard to say because we know almost nothing about her. Nejire might have challenged Kirishima's rather rigid ideas of what makes a hero in an interesting way. I doubt Horikoshi would have ever chosen that route given how Kirishima's character is tied with the concept of masculinity though
