#natsumiho

[examorhca]

Thank you so much Donbrothers for the fun year. It was wonderful 💕✨

[ryuki23]

crane juuto UNDERUTILIZED honestly

monster who copies you except the copy becomes your idea of your idealized self?? hello?? The Potential. do this with every character now please

[number-one-toku-robot-lover]

No lady villains revealed in Kingkinger as of yet, but I remain hopeful. Can we get some heated drama between women? Please?

[kabutoraiger]

i think one way inoue failed in the insane donbros love quadrangle is when tsubasa had dinner at tsuyoshi's place he and natsumiho should've started talking about their favorite theatre shows while tsuyoshi is sitting there like oh god i can't relate at all...

tsubasa, a little smugly: and what about you, kijino-san? have you seen RENT?

tsuyoshi: n-no....

tsubasa and natsumiho in unison: HE HASN'T SEEN RENT!!

[biomic]

I wonder if Japanese 9 year olds are as fucking INSANE about Tsubasa, Tsuyoshi, and NatsuMiho as my partner and I. Like, what the fuck???

lord knows my nine year old degrassi-loving ass would've been eating it up oh my god. but perhaps my experiences are not universal

[wizardmarriage]

i still need to present my natsumiho thesis (draw a picture for them) don't let me forget before the season ends okay

[stingyslegslookweird]

the strangest part of this week’s donbros has to be the fact they actually did (or more accurately tried to do) a role call this time.

[lady-vega]

Saw a tweet a lil while ago about how watching Donbrothers is goofyness followed by the feeling of taking a brick to the face. This is incorrect actually, sometimes it's like taking three consecutive bricks to the face.

[tsunflowers]

That moment when Natsumiho says "I know more about humans than you." to Tarou but she just says "I know more about sex than you."

this will happen in the edgy adult reboot of donbrothers

[skajador]

TBH the love triangle arc has been a high for me as an insane woman enjoyer. I like seeing Natsumiho and Sononi just ruining this guys life. Irrational as it may be I think they should kiss.

My personal feeling:

Insane women good

Love triangles bad

Tfw the scenario detailed above cannot pass the Bechdel test bc the women involved have their characters so inexorably tied to men--- like. My enjoyment of the "insane woman" thing is greatly impeded by the way this is so... Painfully Hetero and Inoue

[bugtransport]

bitches be like "cant stand plotlines about the power of desire, they make me feel too much" and then watch OOO and donbros. okay OOO was an uninformed accident and donbros is bonkers and theres no way i could have possibly figured out a single plot point that happened before i actually started the show but [we irritating pic] we suffering 😂😂😂 if it wasnt fucking clear by that intro: im bitches (these are my thoughts for today under the cut)

look i'm approximately 60 years old on the inside. you might think i'm cool and fresh and in my mid twenties but that's all a ruse. nothing makes me feel older than watching someone navigate a crush for the first time (if anyone is going to bring up hongo i don't... i don't actually know what i'll do but it'll be something and it'll be drastic. don't look at me, look away actually, we're talking about sonoi here. and shut up as well.)

i hate sonoi so fucking much he haunts me. what is wrong with him. i say this but also i know exactly what's wrong with him and it's that he's never had a crush before and is acting up. I HATE THINKING ABOUT IT OH FGUCKIGN its like he's at that stage where you like someone a lot and you just cant look at them. at all. or is that a me thing and im embarrassing myself publicly again. i swear this is a common occurrence-

he's at that stage where he's overthinking everything that happens with tarou. he's both convinced that he should not be around tarou because he doesn't want his feelings to get in the way of his mission or whatever but also he's sending tarou a proxy with a message from him? and getting upset when it's delivered wrong?? my man is out here listening to sononi go off about a completely unrelated couple and internalizes fucking all of it and this is the man you're trying to tell me doesn't understand art? look buddy i'm not about to go off on a tangent about what art is and what makes art good in my opinion (i will some other time. ask me about clothespin. i will go off.) but i'm pretty fucking sure an unrelated thing causing you to feel an emotion or think about a situation in a different way is like. that's definitely what goes on with art. what the fuck. can't stand his ass.

nobody in this show is the least bit self aware and i know that's fucking rich coming from me mr. "oh yeah no i'm just ignoring this thing about myself because i'm too busy right now and can't deal with it." at least i'm aware i'm a dipshit if nothing else?!

might switch tracks a little bit here but ive said it before with tarou... lemme just fucking slurp the tweets actually come to think of it ive half typed this up already and i can totally save myself some time

yeah there we go that's better. sorry this is yet again me talking about The Subjectivity of Truth. i bamboozled you! i drew you in with promises of gay people! but instead it's me! i'm the gay person. i'm the gay person and i'm talking about the subjectivity of truth again. look we'll get there again i swear there's a thread i'm following here you'll just have to humor me for a bit because...

main point: if you couldn't tell, i don't trust sonoi. i mean okay yeah no that comes off a little harsh; i don't trust any of the nouto in the same way, but it's not like. it's not personal. i don't trust anyone in this fucking show i think they're all incredibly biased and it's been shown many times that things that a character believes to be true just can straight up not be.

sorry, like: we have the goddamn crane juuto. we have the goddamn crane juuto whose whole fucking Deal is that it creates stories. and haruka. and like fuck me i suppose but i think that having two characters Explicitly there to tell stories is a little much for me to take anything anyone says at face value.

[total sidebar here: holy shit i loved seeing natsumiho and haruka interact in this ep. girlbosses but also haruka following her around for inspiration was really funny considering what she is. i have more i could say about this but now is not the time!!]

what we've seen of ideon so far (which, i mean, is not a lot, it's really not a fucking lot) but their world is very much designed to not lead to cultivating a population who desires. maybe this is a nature vs. nurture debate. do the nouto not desire because at their core they are unable to or at least somewhat immune to it or do they not desire because they haven't been shown desires to have. it seems quite strongly that they believe the former but that the reality is the latter. if nothing else they seem to all have the desire to learn more about humanity. do i think this will ever be touched on? FUCK no i don't expect anything. i like it though.

man idk. i really don't buy sonoi saying (back in the cafe when he was all fucked up and red no less) that the nouto are unable to turn into hitotsuki. i don't trust like that half because i don't trust sonoi further than i could throw the man but also because [here is the gay shit i promised earlier i told you we'd come back to it i would never tell a joke] i think watching him get corrupted by his own desire for tarou would make me feel 10 million emotions and absolutely shatter like i'm a prop glass and the universe just smashed me over someone's head. i think i would legitimately have to take a day off work if that were the case. i think that would rule and whip and fuck and every single other word that you can possibly think of. i think that would chop my balls off. i want that to happen so bad i cannot put it into words and it's sure as shit not for a lack of trying. i'm doing my absolute best here.

do i think this will happen? absolutely not lol i just like the concept. although come to think of it i know that the don clan created the juuto but did they ever say what they created them... from? would be fucked up if that's what happens when a nouto gets infected with desire. do i believe that's what actually happened? who knows... i just think it would be fun. i am allowed to think about the idea for no reason but i think it would be fun :)

sorry for going off about the subjectivity of truth again! actually i'm not sorry that was really fun for me <3 i feel relatively more normal now but ugmghhhhmh i cannot wait for sonoshi to show up uh i know i'm gonna be really normal about him and if he tears himself out of my hand and onto my open and waiting csp canvas like you're just gonna have to be cool about this. you're gonna have to understand. some bitch showing up to fuck things up in the 3rd quarter is what i NEED okay actually there's already quite a lot of fucking things up in the third quarter that's happening right here but new blood. new blood! new blood!! and he's red!

[exhales really deeply] okay cool i got that out of my system. i'm not looking to workshop any of these ideas unless idk, you really want to. don't feel like you need to respond to anything that i'm saying here. i'm just making spaghetti, brother. sometimes you need to sit in your brain and sort things out and make a big pot of spaghetti. that's all this is. this is me trying to put my thoughts into words which i want to train myself to be better at again, and if longform donbrothers posting is how i must do it, so be it. this is you looking into my mind if you care to do so and saying "damn, bitch, you live like this?" and it's true, i do. every single fucking day of my life i am plagued with the capacity to think. god bless

[heartvisor]

natsumiho is the name i gave the crane juuto as a joke, but don't you think the pairing is a good concept? embodying someone's dream.. that's a form of love too, don't you think?

[tsuki-sennin]

Becoming the greatest superhero of all time, Momotani Jirou! Don Dragoku! And Tsubasa focus! This is gonna be a great one, I can tell.

I even cut up a peach for this occasion! How lovely! ...can dogs even eat peaches? I mean, they probably can, but you'd likely have to prepare them in a weird way.

Spoilers, I guess...

-Natsumiho rejection.

-Oh wow, she just straight up vanished.

-OH GOD A JUMPER

-Sononi!

-"Oh, you're their pet dog?"

-"I see..."

-...yeah, she's got a point there.

-:)

-I never could've guessed that this edgy character would have such strong feelings about the power of love.

-A Kana-chan, huh?

-Ohhhhh, he's a Hitotsu-ki!

-Fill his dark soul with liiiiiiiiiiiiight, Tsubasa-san!

-Kanako is Kanagone.

-Yare yare daze...

-Everybody's got love problems, man!

-Dewicious :)

-Ohhhhhh, my man dipped.

-Yeah, you're in the doghouse Makoto.

-...n-no offense, Tsubasa-san.

-I know a guy.

-He monster.

-...oh

-So that's where the Revice budget went <3

-"Oh goddammit, it's you."

-"D o g"

-"I'll beat you up! Or my name isn't Don Goku!"

-"Get a new girlfriend!"

-Oh, you douchebag, you stopped her that quick.

-"Natsumiho!"

-Man, I'm absolutely obsessed with these idiots and their love lives.

-Is this how the moms watching Jetman felt first hand?

-"Wife Guy! It's me, Fugitive Guy!"

-What made you think that was a good look, man?

-HE'S STILL GOING

-Oh my god, he sees his wife everywhere.

-...oh god traffic.

-Whew, that was close. Tsuyoshi almost became Traffic Safety again.

-Ah, he's a theater kid. That explains a whole lot.

-OH GOD CRANE

-THEY ATE THE BIRDS

-Ohhhhhhhhh, that's the Juuto's boss, huh?

-Oh god, he didn't hold out for the whole year, did he?

-That's not good.

-"OH GOD I HAVE TO TELL MY WIFE I LOVE HER"

-Man, that fuckin' pigeon in the background, it's so based.

-Wow, you're a bad boyfriend, man.

-"Kana-chan's the only one for me", yeah I'm sure.

-He free!

-He's really fucking up again.

-Put an end to this charade!

-OH GOD TSUBASA

-OHHHHH THAT'S NOT GOOD

-Run, run, run, run, run, run.

-Go run, man!

-...oh

-Oh, that's creepy.

-Sonoza, I'm already crying. ...not for the reason you think.

-Dog fightin'!

-I see

-Ewwwwww, dog!

-OHHHH SHE'S A HITOTSUKI TOO

-...is that a bird? ...Choujin-ki? In the love triangle episode? With a guy involved in love triangles and a bird ranger?!

-Inoue has gone too far this time!

-Oh my god, Shinichi and Haruka were carrying Tarou.

-...how'd they do that?

-Oh thank god, Tsuyoshi's here.

-Go, bird man! ...or don't, I have fun either way.

-Oh god, Jirou.

-Don Dragoku! Nin-Nin!

-Avataaaaar Change!

-Here's hoping Jirou doesn't have Burai become an ill omen.

-"What the FUCK are you talking about, Dragon Boy?!"

-Robooootaro!

-We did it!

-Lovely weather for the festival!

-Evil Big Bird Lady

-"Goddammit,I'm hiding."

-Oh good, they'e infatuated once again.

-Awaken?

-Murasame?

-Ohhhhhhhh, that's Don Murasame! It's a shark!

-W

-What's with all the toy weapons

-Sonoi!?

-Oh man, Inoue's really got me by the balls, huh?

-Well, tune in next week when I go insane. ...probably for real this time.

[scolek]

so like. what are the chances that donmura is natsumiho??? or, something that’s them but also not them??

bc like. it seems like its probably her. it feels like theres enough setup, but. like. the suit is. not very ambiguous.

[biomic]

SUCH a girlboss

another donbrother succumbs to natsumiho's irresistible charms. this can't keep happening

[biomic]

Rob is now a good time to tell you that the natsumiho thing was an accident bc it was one of the few things they didn't plan ahead of time. Horrible to think about

could you imagine.

also i've been dodging spoilers like the plague but i did see a stray tweet earlier about how the noto trio were originally planned to be killed off at the halfway point but were kept around because inoue and shirakura liked yuya tominaga's portrayal of sonoi so much. COULD. YOU. IMAGINE.
