Kou's death

He died as the selfless idiot he is, but most of the fandom is missing a part. I've seen so many people talk about Teru and Akane seeing his dead body down the well, but nobody who said this:

He looks comforted by the lightning, some kind of wicked comfort.

"My brother's lightning…" he doesn't look like he feels betrayed, at all.

He was trying to kill Nene, one of his best friends, and he never would've been able to forgive himself if he succeeded. He's glad his BROTHER stopped him, that he was the one to wipe him away from the living world, even tho it was an accident

He finally understands what Hanako and Mitsuba meant by saying they want HIM, someone they trust, to exorcise them. It's hard to imagine as a living person, but as a dangerous supernatural it's as clear as day

What was Kou's best departure, was Teru's worst goodbye

kou minamoto you son of a gun 🚬

[vanrougenui]

HIS ASS WILL NOT FORGET THIS OR RECOVER AFTER THIS

PLUS HE SAW KOUS (AND MITSUBAS) DEAD BODY IN THAT WELL... IMAGINE WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO TERU AFTER THIS!! ONE THING HE CARES THE MOST ABOUT IS HIS FAMILY AND NOT ONLY DID HIS YOUNGER BROTHER DIE HE SAW HIS CORPSE LYING THERE OH HE WILL MOST LIKELY BLAME THIS ON HIMSELF

[thepiningpansexual]

THE FORESHADOWING??!!! HELLO????!!!!

[kikiwiwiz]

İ am sick. İ am sick to my stomach. The Minamoto brothers.... You deserve better my loves..

A world where Teru managed to protect Kou and lost his and one where he failed to save his brother, knowing that he was losing his brother. Him saving was silent and with a touch, his failure was loud and with a blow... Oh i am sick to my stomach he didn't even cover his eyes while i was about to cry like he always does .....

Not only did he act completely unlike himself, he also was so focused on it that he didn't do what is basically instinct to him i can't even imagine how crushed he must be without my heart aching..

İ am sick i am sick to my stomach save them plsss

Also the same stance if you're brave enough...

[ryanthel0ser]

Don't think about Teru finding Kou's staff and going the rest of the arc clutching it like it's the only thing keeping him alive

and don't think about how Teru can't go hold his brother's body at the bottom of that well

and most certainly don't think about how Teru is going to react when he gets Kou back and how Kou will feel seeing his brother like that

The God of the Pit and "Happiness"

Today I started thinking about the Pit God and its goals. What we know is that the series is slowly heading towards the destruction of all Yorishiros. Hanako claims that once you destroy all of the Yorishiros, "God" will grant his wish.

That is why he was using the rumors being twisted as a pretext to destroy them. Sakura will also be freed once they're all destroyed. But what does the Pit God get out of this?

Sakura also claims that everything might all just cease to exist. That made me think and think...

In the new present, chapter 120 reveals that it uses captured souls to lure the living and eat them alive, and then trap and use their souls to lure even more people, always wanting more.

Then it hit me. This entity was linked with "happiness" since its introduction.

In chapter 68, Sumire described how the villagers would say that the sacrifices would be granted eternal happiness, and we know that their souls are even now trapped inside the Red House's belly.

In chapter 120 in the new timeline, the Pit God even describes itself this way: "You'll descend to the bottom of the pit, to the land of the gods. This is happiness." It claims that everyone that's eaten up by It is "happy".

This happened in 118 too, when it said through Amane through the other souls that they should be happy, now that 2 new friends will join them. Again in 120, Kou explains that they're all trapped inside the Red House's belly.

Now, what do we know that the Red House is capable of doing? Showing people what they wish for, and what they can obtain in exchange for a sacrifice. How everyone who ever came to the Red House is trapped even now inside it, at the cost of their wish being fulfilled.

In 119 & 120, we can see how Amane's soul is kept in a moment of peace, where he is minding his own business and doing his work. He doesn't seem aware of what's going on at all.

The Seven Mysteries, therefore the Yorishiros, serve to keep the balance between the far and near shores, something devised to replace the practice of sacrificing people to the Pit God, especially after it was sealed. So if they're all destroyed... What if that would mean there's nothing to restrict the Pit God anymore? Nothing to stop it from consuming everything.

That would make Hanako and Sakura's expected outcomes one and the same. Everything will cease to exist because everything will be eaten up by this God, and all the same, the entire world will become something akin to the Red House, fulfilling everyone's desires while forever imprisoned inside its belly, granting them eternal "happiness", just like it's claimed to do.
