~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Note: Big thank you to @jrob64 for making the above art for this story!

Emma took one last look in the mirror, fluffing her hair and touching up her lipstick.  She nodded, pleased with the look she’d managed to achieve.  She’d taken far longer than she’d like to admit choosing her dress for tonight’s date with Killian.  She wanted to look nice, but keep it a touch on the casual side, not wanting to scare him away anymore than she no doubt already had with her paper.

She’d landed on a yellow, thigh length shirt dress with tiny black polka dots, black buttons down the front and a thin black belt.  During class, she’d caught him looking at her hair more than once, and so she’d opted to leave it down, beach waves teased the slightest bit for some extra volume.

She imagined him running his fingers through her tresses, letting the hair slide gently through his fingers as he brought her toward him for a kiss.  Would he be that bold on a first date?  She rather doubted it, but she wanted it.  Oh, how she wanted it.

There was so much she wanted, and she hoped, given enough time and enough dates, she’d get all of it.

Emma supposed she should be a touch freaked out that she was already thinking about long term with Killian, but she wasn’t.  All of this felt right, and she couldn’t wait to begin the relationship that she hoped would span many, many years.

With one last tossel of her hair, Emma turned off the bathroom light and stepped into the common room of the apartment.  She couldn’t help but chuckled as she came face to face with Mary Margaret and Ruby, huge smiles plastered across their faces.

Mary Margaret raised a camera to her eyes and snapped away as Emma came fully into the room.

“What are you doing?” Emma asked with a laugh.

“Somebody has a big date tonight,” Mary Margaret said in a singsong voice, “and I thought it needed to be documented with photos.”

Emma rolled her eyes good-naturedly.  “Don’t oversell it.  It’s just a first date.”

“It is not just a first date, and you know it,” Ruby countered.  “You’re head over heels for that man already, and if what I saw at lunch this afternoon was any indication, he’s just as far gone as you.”

Emma felt her stomach swoop.  She couldn’t deny it.  She was far gone for Killian.  “Yeah, well, don’t you dare scare him off or there might not end up being a second date.”

“I don’t know, Emma,” Mary Margaret said, snapping another picture from a different angle.  “Ruby’s right.  Killian does seem to be really into you.  I have a feeling it would take a lot more than our good-natured ribbing to scare him off.”

Their conversation was interrupted by a tentative knock at the door, and Mary Margaret squealed, clapping her hands in delight.  “He’s here!”

Emma shook her head, smiling at her friends’ antics, feeling her heart begin to pound in anticipation of the night ahead.  She opened the door, and promptly lost any and all train of thought she might have had.

Killian looked amazing.  Dark, black jeans, royal blue button up, black sports coat, hair artfully mussed.  He grinned a touch self-consciously as he held a single, long-stemmed red rose out to her. Emma felt a rush of desire, the strongest urge to simply pull him toward her and kiss the holy hell out of him.

Probably not the best way to start the date, although, if she had anything to say about it, that urge would certainly play itself out at some point during the evening.

“Swan,” he breathed, “You look…”

She grinned at him.  “I know,” she said cheekily.  

He chuckled, stepping forward to offer her the rose he carried.  She took it, bringing it gently to her nose and inhaling the luscious aroma.  “Thanks.”

After taking a moment to put the rose in water, Emma grabbed a coat .  “Shall we?” she asked.

“Absolutely,” he answered, guiding her from the apartment with a hand to the small of her back.  

“Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do!” Ruby called from her perch on the sofa.

“Pretty sure there’s nothing you wouldn’t do, Rubes,” Emma answered with a laugh.

Her friend winked at her.  “Exactly.”

With another laugh, and a shake of her head, Emma stepped out the door, sharing a smile with Killian.

“Sorry about them,” Emma said as they walked down the flight of stairs and Killian gestured to a black chevelle.  He led her to the passenger side, gallantly opened the door, and helped her inside.  “They mean well.  They’re just a little…much…sometimes.”

He smiled fondly at her as he slid into his seat behind the wheel and started the engine.  “They only want your happiness, Swan, and I certainly can’t fault them for that.  I…I only hope I can provide that for you.”

He was so self-deprecating, and had such a low opinion of himself.  They’d need to work on that.  One day she hoped to show him how very much he mattered.

“You’re already succeeding on that front,” she reassured.  His resulting smile was utterly delighted.

“So,” Killian said, turning toward her.  “Where are we headed, Swan?”

“I booked us reservations at that little Italian restaurant downtown,” Emma said.  “Belle Notte, I think it’s called.”

“Never been there,” Killian said with a nod, pulling away from his parking spot on the street and heading in the direction she’d indicated, “but I’ve heard it’s quite the romantic spot.”

“I hope so,” Emma answered.  “I was hoping to pull out all the stops and really make an impression on this date.”

The smile he gave her was nothing short of absolute adoration.  “Emma, I assure you.  You can’t help but make an impression.  I’ve no doubt the smile wouldn’t leave my face even if you’d planned on staying in and eating cold left-overs whilst wearing sweats.”

The drive to the restaurant was short, only a few minutes, and they filled the time with small talk.  Once parked, Killian hurried to her side of the car to open the door, and after he’d shut it behind her, she reached out and took his hand, lacing their fingers.  He looked startled for a moment, but he didn’t pull away.  Indeed, after a moment, he squeezed her hand, a delighted grin joining the twin spots of color on his face.

A smiling hostess showed the two of them to their table, and true to form, Killian held her seat for her before taking his own.

“Such a gentleman,” she murmured, reaching over and taking his hands in both of hers as soon as they were situated.  She couldn’t help herself, just wanted to touch him, be connected to him.  This pull she felt between them was so strong, so irresistible it almost scared her.

Almost.

But she felt so good, so utterly and incandescently happy being here with him, that there was no room for fear or any other negative emotion.

“I strive to always be a gentleman, love,” he said.  “My brother taught me the importance of treating a woman with respect.”

“I didn’t know you had a brother!” Emma said, caressing his hand with her thumb.

He glanced aside, the shadows filling his eyes for just a moment.  “He passed some years back.”

She felt like an absolute heel.  “Killian, I’m sorry,” she said.  “If I’d known, I’d never have brought it up.”

He smiled gently at her, waving away her concerns.  “Not at all, Swan,” he said.  “It was long ago.  The pain has faded enough that I can remember him fondly.”

A waitress stopped by their table, giving them menus and listing the specials of the night.  As soon as she’d walked away, Emma turned toward Killian.  “Should I order us some drinks?”

He glanced aside, scratching at the back of his ear.  “No, I…I don’t think so.”

“Afraid you’ll find me even more irresistible after a few libations?” she flirted.

He reddened further, even as he grinned.  “No,” he answered. “I’m fairly certain it’s not possible for me to find you any more irresistible than I do right now.  You, love, are extraordinary.”

This time Emma’s cheeks reddened as she smiled at the compliment. 

“It’s just…” he went on, looking uncomfortable again.  “I’m sort of…allergic…to alcohol.  Never touch the stuff.”

It was odd.  He seemed beyond embarrassed to admit the fact, perhaps even ashamed.  She shrugged.  “It’s no big deal.  We don’t need booze to make for an enjoyable night.”

“Really?” he asked, eyes widening.  “I’ve endured more than my fair share of mockery for my preference for goats milk over hard liquor.”

There it was again, his low opinion of himself.  It was long past time to begin moving him past that.

“Killian,” she said, lacing their fingers and squeezing his hands.  “I wish you could see yourself the way I see you.  You are…honestly, you’re kind of amazing.”

He colored even more.  “I’m not so sure about that…”

“Well, I am,” she said firmly.  “So how about you take my word for it?  Whoever it was in your past that made you feel less-than was an idiot, and they didn’t have a clue what they were missing.”

His eyes softened at her words, something big and overwhelming–gratitude? Hope?--shining from them.

“I have to admit, goat’s milk is kinda a weird substitute for alcohol,” she chuckled, “but hey.  To each their own.”

Dinner was an enjoyable affair.  The food was good, and the conversation was even better.  As they talked and laughed, sharing tidbits about their lives, their hopes and dreams, Emma found herself enjoying everything about Killian.  It was more than just the animalistic attraction she felt toward him.  She genuinely liked him; enjoyed his company; felt that above and beyond the romantic feelings they might have for each other, they could become deep and lasting friends.

Emma knew that regardless of what their relationship might bring–whether it worked out or didn’t–she wanted to keep him in her life.

When dinner finished, neither of them wanted the evening to come to a close, and so they opted to go to a local park, holding hands as they strolled through the nature pathways under the stars.  It was a magical night, with romance in the air, though Emma suspected there was truly nothing special about the night or the air.  It was the man she was with.  He brought the butterflies just with his smile.

When had she gotten so cheesy? She was so into him it was ridiculous.

By the time the evening chill began to descend upon them, they returned to his car, knowing the end of the date was fast approaching.

He didn’t start the car immediately, instead gazing sightlessly down at the steering column, looking like he was warring within himself.  Finally he turned to look at her, and there was trepidation in his eyes.  He seemed to be girding up his courage to say something to her, and Emma felt a hint of unease.

Didn’t he enjoy tonight as much as she did?

“Emma…:” he began, drawing out her name.

“Killian, whatever it is, just tell me,” she said, feeling the unease grow at his strange behavior.  “If you aren’t into me or whatever, it’s okay.  I can handle it.”

His eyes widened.  “I’m making a right mess of this,” he said.  “Of bloody course I’m into you.  This has been…well, it’s been the most enjoyable evening I’ve spent in years.  It’s just…remember how I told you I don’t, um, pillage and plunder on the first date?”

“Yeah?”

“Well, it’s…um…it’s more than that,” he admitted.  “I’ve actually…well, I’ve never slept with a woman.  None of my past dates have ever gotten that far.  And…I just hope it’s not a problem for you if we take things slowly.  It’s not that I’m not attracted to you.  Gods, but I am!  It’s just…”

He broke off, shrugging self-consciously.

Her heart turned over, the tenderness overwhelming her when he glanced aside.

She reached up, turning his face toward her, meeting his eyes.  “Killian, trust me, it’s not a problem.  I’m not exactly all that experienced either.”

“You’re not?” he asked.  “A woman as beautiful and desirable as you?”

She smiled gently at him. “I mean I’ve had long make out sessions, some heavy petting, that sort of thing, but I’ve never, you know, given all of myself to any man.”

He looked surprised, but he reached up and took her hand, squeezing gently.

“It’s not that I’m some sort of prude or something,” she said.  “It’s just…”

How did she explain this?

“Aye?” he prompted.  “It’s just what?”

“Killian, I told you I grew up in the foster system, right?”

He nodded.

“I never met my parents.  Have no idea who they are or why they gave me up,” she said, “but I like to imagine they had this epic love story, that they were like, I don’t know, Snow White and Prince Charming or something.  I like to imagine they didn’t want to give me up, but something–some outside force or curse or something–separated us, and one day I’ll find them again, and I’ll be inspired by their love for the ages–both for each other and for me.”

He cupped her face, caressing her cheek with his thumb.

“I know it’s stupid,” she said, “and I’m not naive.  I’m sure the truth is nothing like that, but…I wish it could be.  When I think about having sex with a guy, I want it to be like that fairy tale I imagine for my parents.  I want it to mean something, not just be the scratching of an itch, not just something you do because you’re dating somebody or because you find the other person hot.  When I sleep with a guy, I want it to be because I am truly, genuinely in love with him.  So no. I have no objection to us taking this thing as slowly as you want.”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

They stood awkwardly before her apartment door a few minutes later.  Emma had never wanted a night to end less, and yet she knew if she invited him inside she would find it very difficult to abide by his desire to take things slowly.

The question was, just how should they bring this evening to a close?

Killian shuffled his feet awkwardly one to the other, looking aside, and Emma could read him well enough by now to know if anything more was going to happen tonight, she’d need to be the one to make it happen.

Every fiber of her being wanted something more, and as she’d never been one to stand on ceremony, she went for it, grabbing him by his lapels and dragging him to her.  She’d surprised him; she could tell, and for the barest fraction of a second, he froze, but then he was kissing her back, tentatively bringing one hand to the back of her head and holding her to him, wrapping the other arm around her waist and pulling her close.

From the first touch of her lips to his, it was like a fire erupted within her.  This was bliss.  This was heaven, but she needed more.

Opening her mouth, she swiped her tongue against the seam of his lips, and he gasped in response.  She took full advantage of the moment, plunging her tongue within the confines of his mouth.  His resulting moan was the single most sensual thing she’d ever experienced in her entire twenty-two years of existence.

She pulled him even closer, so close that she could feel the rumble of his moans against her chest, could feel the evidence that though his mind and heart wanted to take things slowly, his body very much did not.

It was time to end this–unfortunately–before they both completely lost their heads and started going at it right out here in the open.  With great difficulty, Emma pulled her mouth free, resting her forehead against his, because she needed a minute. 

(More than a minute, really.  More like a lifetime, but it was far too early in the relationship to have those kinds of thoughts.)

For several moments, they merely stood there, foreheads pressed together, both breathing so heavily they sounded as though they’d sprinted up ten flights of stairs.  Finally, Killian took a step backwards and smiled, looking into her eyes with awe.

“That was…” he began.

“Even better than I imagined when I wrote about it,” she said with a delighted giggle.

“Aye,” he agreed, his smile, if possible, widening even more.

She reached over, ran her hands from his shoulders down to his hands, linking their fingers, and stepping back into his space.  She wanted nothing more than to surge up and take his lips again–kissing Killian Jones was addicting as hell–but with restraint she felt she really deserved a medal for, she resisted.

“May I ask you something?” she murmured instead.

“Of course.”

“Will you go out with me again?”

His smile grew, and really, what more answer did she need?

After murmuring goodnight, Emma slipped inside, leaning back against the door, closing her eyes and smiling in utter rapture.  She’d told him she wanted a fairy tale, and this evening had been as close to one as she could ever imagine getting.  Her heart was so full, she doubted it could contain another drop of joy.

Perhaps this was the infatuation stage of the relationship.  Perhaps things would eventually cool down to something of a slow burn between them, but she was determined to bask in the joy of falling in love for as long as she was able.

“Looks like someone had a good date,” Ruby said from her spot on the sofa.

Emma looked over and barked out a laugh.  Both Ruby and Mary Margaret sat on the sofa, excited smiles on their faces, looking every bit like parents waiting up for their daughter after her prom.

“Nah, it wasn’t a good date,” Emma said with a happy sigh as she plopped herself down on the couch in between her two best friends.  “It was quite possibly the best date in the history of dating.”

“Tell us everything,” Mary Margaret said excitedly.  “I want all the details.”

And that was a request Emma was more than happy to agree to.

 Notes:

–I accept no responsibility for the cavities you may have gotten from the ridiculously sugary fluffiness of this chapter.  I just wanted to try to capture the joy and euphonia of the very beginning of a relationship.

–In canon, I loved how supportive Killian was of Emma, how much he believed in her and built her up at every turn.  But at the same time, I kind of hated that we didn’t get as much of Emma building up Killian.  I get it; I really do.  Her walls being as high as they were, it was very difficult for her to let her guard down enough to do so, but I wanted to kind of reverse the roles in this au.  Killian was the one who needed to be supported and believed in and built up, and Emma was more than happy to do it.

–BTW, in this universe, there is no Neal, because 1. In my opinion any universe where Neal does not exist is a good universe and 2. While this version of Emma has some walls, she doesn’t have as many as in canon.  In my opinion, in canon Emma’s difficult upbringing in the foster system of course scarred her, but it was what Neal did–not only leaving her but framing her for his crimes–and its subsequent consequence–being forced to give up her son–that truly cemented the walls around her heart.

–I have an exciting announcement for you!  As you all know, smut is not my thing, and I don’t feel comfortable writing it, but jrob64 has agreed to take up this story universe and write a companion piece in which we get a glimpse of just what it was that Emma wrote in her mistaken paper–and we get to see Emma and Killian act them out.  You can find her story here

UPD: The list started getting long, so I’m grouping them 10 chapters in a line, sorry if it’s less convenient for navigation.

UPD 2: I now have the printed version, so I’m going to organize the chapters by arcs as per the printed volume (the names are just my own invention to distinguish the arcs somehow).

[shslmahoushoujo]

Ok, so with episode 13 of Tokyo Ghoul :RE now being out, I can safely say that my prediction of what they’d do was off the mark. I’d certainly have liked it, but hey, sometimes you just don’t hit the mark. Anyway, since then, I’ve rethought the approach they’d take. Rather than 2 arcs made up of 6 episodes each, with the second arc merging a lot of events, I suspect there’s just gonna be 1 arc that gets cut, and we’ll rather get 3 arcs in batches of 4 episodes.

So after the cut, here’s my thoughts on how I believe they’ll organize it, some things I pictured in my head better than others.

Episode 14: 68-76, Cochlea half of 81.

Opens up on the Cochlea invasion and Furuta seeing Kaneki on the camera. Cut to Hinami and Kaneki, title card at the end of 69, first half chapters 69-72, second half chapters 73-76 and second half of 81, ending with Kaneki breaking Arima's quinque from 81, and then Furuta revealing his kagune and countering Eto.

Episode 15: 77-87.

77 is cut except for the ending (Suzuya vs. Kurona already started in episode 13). Opens up with 78/79, Mutsuki's backstory and death of Torso, with Torso's backstory heavily abridged, Urie finding Torso's corpse (end of 77) and getting the info of the death of the special class. Title card after Arima slits his throat, first half 78-83, second half covers 83-85 up to the reveal of the dead Special Class mystery and Akira/Houji vs Tatara starting, move to 87 to finish Suzuya vs Kurona and set up a cliffhanger on Takizawa choking Akira, followed by the rest of 85/all of 86.

Episode 16: 88-98.

Mostly a condensed version of volume 9, with some changes: Koma and Irimi don't show up (remain dead until Spieldose), Amon flees and doesn't get captured by the Qs, Matsuri gets attacked on the ship by the clowns so there's no one left in Furuta's way (I believe this is the reason why Matsuri content from the early parts of the arc was cut).

Episode 17: 99-103, first half of 104, end of 116, 117-119.

Kaneki forms Goat in the intro, opening plays. 100-103+first half of 104 ("people without things to protect never fight to their last") make up the rest of the first half, but Matsuri's moments+references to the Clown Siege are cut, Furuta's already in power, and The Great Wheel saves Akira without tha lab infiltration. Second half is the end of 116 plus 117-119 with references to the Clown Siege events cut. Intro to the Oggai, Rize's fate revealed, and Touka going to talk with Akira mark the end of the episode.

Episode 18: 120-128.

Mostly straightforward adaptation, 120-124+implied 125 cover the first half, timeskip is moved ahead to 126 and the wedding is contrasted with the brutality of 127. Ends with the reveal of Furuta's plan+Ayato witnessing the remains of the underground city.

Episode 19: 129-133, 24th ward parts of 134-136, 139, intro and Kaneki/Tsukiyama talk from 140.

First half is 129-132, focusing on Kaneki and Touka's romance+Kaneki's failure to act, first half ends with Urie's "we'll become terrorists", Touken wedding and the expedition leaving. Second half focuses on the attack on the 24th ward. Ending of the episode is the Kaneki/Tsukiyama talk from 140, Touka running into Juuzou, and the meeting of Urie/Iwao with Furuta at the CCG offices.

Episode 20: CCG half of 136, 137-138, 141-146.

A few noticeable changes: Timeline-wise, this happens at the same time as the 24th ward assault. "Furuta" in the CCG offices is revealed to be Donato at the end, Clown Siege reveal merged (Mikito and Iwao captured Donato). The fate of the White Suits is just implied, Yomo vs. Tooru/Aura is greatly abridged. First half covers up to the first half of 143, as Kaneki gears up to fight Juuzou. Second half is the rest of 143, and 144-146, ending with the flashforward from episode 1 (Urie sees Dragon right after the battle, everyone comes back to witness the devastation, ends with Touka looking at him). Some other scenes of characters surviving Kaneki's devastation, like Suzuya's survival shown in 148, are pushed ahead.

Episode 21: 147-156.

First half is 147-151, with content generally abridged. Second half covers 152-156. No major changes, but first gen Qs interactions in the second half are prioritized, with second gen Qs dealt with mostly offscreen.

Episode 22: 157-165.

First half 157-161. Opening theme after 157, title card at the end of 158, then rest of the first half. As Kaneki attempts to swim through the gates, we cut to Touka finding him and cutting him out with the Qs aiding her last second, first half ends with Furuta and V making it to Rize and the source of the toxin. Second half is 162-165. Interactions are slightly abridged and the timeline is more linear. Episode ends with the Donato-controlled Eto entering the battlefield, mirroring episode 22 of part 1 (episode 10 of Root A). 

Episode 23: 166-172, 175.

Yet again, no major changes. First half is 166-169, ending with Uta revealing his Kakuja. Second half is 170-172, but following Donato's death, we move right to 175. Following the cliffhanger of Eto and Naki's return, we move on to the end of 172, with Furuta and Kaneki's fight starting and Furuta's counter to Kaneki mirroring Furuta and Eto from episode 14.

Episode 24: 173-174, intro to 175, 176-179.

First half up to 176, dealing with the Kaneki-Furuta fight underground. Second half 177-179. Wishlist of changes (because I dunno if they’d happen, but I wish): Showing Ayato actually rescue Kaneki, Eto's fate being less vague and her getting a bigger role in the ending to mirror the first episode of the season (major players were Kaneki, Furuta, Eto, and Ayato)/because it’s Eto, less exposition and more showing what characters are doing in the ending.

-------------

We’ll see how this ends up. But I’d actually rather like this. Sure, there’d be compression and cutting, but I didn’t mind the way they did it in episode 13 considering that I feel they still had a hang of what makes the series what it is. And it’s not like they haven’t made changes that I wouldn’t consider positive, the new version of the Kaneki-Eto conversation that we got in episode 13 was something I legit really liked. But anyway. Those are my thoughts on it. We’ll see how it pans out.

the song of achilles as a live-action 3 part series....

part 1 being childhood up to just before they leave for war, ending at chapter 14 or 15; feel like the big reveal could be a nice cliff hanger to pick up on in the next part; 5 1-hour long episodes should cover this chunk

part 2 is the journey to troy and the war itself, ending with...That Event in chapter 30; likely to be the longest part thinking 7/8 episodes at about 45 minutes to an hour maybe; 10 episodes if you really wanna stretch it

part 3 picks up right after the Event and follows the rest of the book; more than likely the shortest part, thinking 3 or 4 episodes, 5 at the absolute most, finishing my reread to see how accurate these numbers are

but yeah a wandavision budget and you’re golden, honestly probably wouldn’t even need that much money frfr

Apparently Volume 15 of :re didn't come with a release date for Volume 16, which is pretty unusual since there's typically always a release date for the next volume. Plus the anime more than likely being a 1 cour (12 episodes), which is usually around the amount of chapters in a volume. Not to mention in the past I remember the TG anime aired after Part 1 ended, and a similar situation is occurring now for the :re anime, so this is all incredibly suspicious. Part 3 sadly might happen.

Is this our new routine for every volume since volume 11. I’m serious it started with volume 12 and 13 and 14 and 15 and now 16 SAVE ME. 

Jk. I do understand why people are suspicious this time and don’t think it’s ridiculous. But I still sincerely, sincerely doubt it. The amount of chapters in a :re volume is usually 10, not 12. But sometimes it is 12. But anyways. Here’s why I think people are overreacting to this:

Ishida cannot end :re in one volume. If that was his plan, the hell is he doing building up to this final arc? If there was going to be a Part 3, it should have ended at 143. This is a realllly random point to end it when he’s been building up ROS becoming ghouls and dragons. 

And the thing about that arc is: there can’t be another arc after this one because how the hell can it get any better than Rize and Furuta and Hide and everyone from the beginning back? That’s part of Judgment as an arc. Where exactly do we think the manga can possibly go after this with Rize and Furuta as the final bosses? This is the climax. Unless it’s like a giant set up wherein we have like a shonen training arc for Kaneki and then this but also everyone will be dead by then because the situation in Tokyo looks like pretty urgent.

But remember when I said people have been freaking out since volume 11? Here’s why, in reverse order:

Volume 15: vol 14 announced the final arc, also it initially had an incorrect price. Idk. 

Volume 14: TG ended with volume 14; the release date of the possible final chapter was suspicious.

Volume 13: 143 & 144 need I say more

Volume 12: (and this is key) This was released one month after volume 11. Did we ever get a reason for that? No. All this to say is volume release date weirdness is nothing new. It’s happened before. Maybe with manga & anime stuff Ishida just doesn’t have time to. do a volume cover. Or maybe his brother’s getting married or something. My guess for now, barring any announcement, is that there’s just a delay in releasing 16.

Honestly Ishida has shown he doesn’t care about paralleling when it comes to volume numbers or number of chapters; why would he care about ending :re when the anime ended just because the initial manga ended then? No one’s going to remember release dates when it’s over.  

But you know what he has shown he cares about? Numbers within the actual story, as they relate the end of the mangas with 143 being divisible from 1000 approximately 7 times and naming 1 of :re Bone. I’m still pretty certain it’s going to be 204-6 chapters. That seems perfect for what we have left to cover. 

When it comes to predicting the end of :re, I’m not focusing on the outside factors (whether volumes have been announced, etc.) I prefer to focus on story reasons. There’s no way to do a well written part 3 continuing Kaneki’s story at this point. I really don’t think it’s going to happen.

Togashi-sensei Direct Answer! 

The secrets of  "Yu☆Yu☆"!!

~In commemoration of the 3rd year of the serialization~

Source: Weekly Shounen JUMP N°3-4, 1994. Credits to @sinnasuk3 for the magazine photos.

Yusuke: "I’ve bumped into my creator, Togashi-sensei, and asked him the questions everyone wants to know about "Yu☆Yu☆". Here they are!!"

Q1. Is the hunter who chased Youko Kurama down from the Spirit World Special Defense Force - S.D.F?

A: That's right. It’s the "Special Defense Force" that came out in JUMP Nº2. There are nine members in the Special Defense Force, including Captain Otake, and one of them inflicted a serious wound on Youko Kurama fifteen years ago. That's...a secret...well, I wonder who he is?

T/N: Togashi was ironic at the end of his answer (I wonder who the guys is) and he probably didn’t want to give spoilers. In Chapter 149 ("Mano a Mano Again"), published in the previous issue of the magazine (WSJ N°2, 1994), Shunjun is bragging about how the S.D.F. can handle even A-class youkai. Then, Rinbai (dark-violet hair) brings up that he was tired of hearing Shunjun’s story about the day he pounced on Youko.

Q2. Who is the lady in black kimono who works under Koemma's command?

A: Her name is "Ayame" and she is Botan's junior (*kohai). Does she look a little older than Botan? For the time being, she’s still studying, so she’s active in the Spirit World working with focus on investigations.

Photo Caption: Researching about Toguro under Koenma’s orders. There’s a mature atmosphere, probably because of the black kimono.

T/N: In Japan, there’s the senpai-kohai (senior-junior) system. While senpai (先輩) means an upperclassman, senior employee or an older person, kohai (後輩) is the junior or lower person. Senpai-kohai is determined by age and rank. It’s funny, because I always thought Ayame was older than Botan. Even Togashi mentions she looks older.

Q3. Did Hiei really not know janken (rock-paper-scissors)?

A: Hmm...maybe he remembered the word "rock-paper-scissors" at the time of volume 7, but forgot it by volume 10...? Kuwabara also takes off his hat to Hiei, saying that “he's no ordinary guy”.

T/N:

- “He's no ordinary guy” are Kuwabara’s words to Hiei from volume 10. Kuwabara acknowledges Hiei’s abilities when he, who had never played janken before, realizes that Kuwabara was cheating at jaken.

- I explained the janken story here. In short, Hiei mentioned the janken game in volume 7, but had no idea what it was in volume 10. Togashi apologized for the mistake in a WSJ Table of Contents (the anime and some overseas editions of the manga fixed his line from volume 7).

Q4. Did Hagiri and Amanuma die!?

A: Please, take a closer look at "Yu Yu Hakusho" chapter in Jump Nº49, 1993 (Ch.144 "Unstoppable!!"). In fact, Amanuma is present in a certain scene. Fufufu, which scene is it?...Which means that Hagiri is... also?

T/N: Chapter 150 "An Unparalleled Battle!!" came out when this Q&A was published in JUMP N°3-4, 1994. Yusuke had just arrived in the Demon World to fight Sensui, so people still didn’t know what had happened with Amanuma and Kaname. That’s the reason of this question. But, if you take a closer look at chapter 144, you can spot Amanuma standing behind Botan and the others, almost hidden behind a balloon. However, we only learned that Koenma used the mafuukan to save him a few chapters later.

Source: Weekly Shounen Jump Nº49 (1993) or volume 16, p.115 (Chapter 144).

Q5. What was the other opponent on whom Koenma used the "mafuukan” in the past?

A: Let's have the person himself to answer this question.

Koenma: "Wooow, I forgot. It was certainly against a youkai, I think...Don't blame me. If you live for hundreds of years, this can happen!"

Q6. Please tell us more about the first Spirit World detective.

A: Her name is Kuroko Sanada. She is a descendant of onmyoji who performed spells. She worked as a Spirit World detective for six years, solving more than ten cases, but retired when she got married. She is now mother of two children. Occasionally, demons will bother her, but she says her two children will get rid of them...

Photo Caption: Sensui from the second generation was also excellent.

Q7. Is Kurama going to tell Kuwabara the name of Hiei's younger sister?

A: This is also a question to the person himself...

Kurama: "Such an funny thing...there’s no way I could tell him, right? It’s obvious. I’m going to delay it. Nihihi”.

That’s right.

The Name of the Father as the Chariot of Israel; and the name of the Son as the Chariot of Elijah

Robert Graves then writes on page 343 of his book “The White Goddess” this description of the situation in Israel that caused them to hide the key of knowledge; as Solomon said; “The Knowledge of the Holy is Understanding”. Here are the passages:

On the whole it was considered safest to leave the Merkabah alone, especially as it was prophesied that “in the fullness of time Ezekiel will come again and unlock for Israel the chambers of the Merkabah.” ( Cant. Rabbah, I, 4. )“

Thus only a few known Rabbis taught the mystery and only to the most select of their pupils; among them Rabbi Johanan ben Zadkai, Rabbi Joshua ( Vice-President of the Sanhedrin under Gamaliel ), Rabbi Akiba and Rabbi Nehunia. Rabbi Zera said that even chapter headings of the Merkabah must not be communicated except to a person who was the head of an academy and was cautious in temperament.

Rabbi Ammi said the doctrine could be entrusted only to one who possessed all the five qualities enumerated in Isaiah, III, 3: the captain of fifty, the honourable man, the counsellor, the skilled craftsmen, the eloquent orator.

The belief grew that expositions of the Merkabah mystery would cause Jehovah to appear.”Rabbi Johanan ben Zadkai was riding along the road upon his ass , while his pupil Eleazar ben Arak walked behind him. Said Rabbi Eleazar: ‘Master, teach me about the Work of the Chariot.’

Rabbi Johanan declined. Rabbi Eleazar said again: ‘Am I permitted  to repeat in your presence the one thing you have already taught me?’

Rabbi Johanan assented, but dismounted from his ass, wrapped himself in his gown and seated himself upon a stone under an olive tree. He declared that it was unseemly that he should be riding while his pupil was discoursing on so awful a mystery, and while the Shekinah ( ‘the Brightness’ ) and the Malache ha-Shareth ( ‘the Angels-in-waiting’ ) were accompanying them.

Immediately Rabbi Eleazar began his exposition, fire came down from Heaven and encircled them and the whole field.

The angels assembled to listen, as the sons of man assemble to witness the festivities of a marriage, and there was a singing in the terebinth-trees:

“Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons and all deeps, fruitful trees and all cedars, praise ye the Lord!”

To which an angel answered from the fire, saying: “This is the Work of the Chariot!”

When Eleazar had finished, Johanan stood up and kissed him on the head. He said: ‘Praised be the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, for He has given our father Abraham a wise son who knows how to discourse on the glory of our Father in Heaven.’ “

Rabbi Jose ha-Kohen and Rabbi Joshua had similr experiences. And once Rabbi ben Azzai was sitting in meditation on the Scriptures when suddenly a flame encircled him.

His pupils ran to Rabbi Akiba, who came up and said to Azzai: “Art thou studying the mysteries of the Merkabah?”

In Luke 11:52 we have this saying of my Father; to wit:

“Alas for you expounders of the Law! ……..for you have taken away ( as having hid ) the key of knowledge:you yourselves have not entered, and those who wanted to enter you have hindered.” The key had a history going back to the ancient association of knowledge as being opened like a door. An example is this story; to wit;“In ancient times the rabbins carried a key, which was the symbol or emblem of knowledge.Hence it is written in Semachoth, chap. 8.“When Rab. Samuel ‘the little’ died, his key and his tablets were hung on his tomb, because he died childless”.In Matthew 23:13 it was said thus a little differently;“But alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! … for you lock the door of the Kingdom of the Heavens against men;you yourselves do not enter,nor do you allow those to enter who are seeking to do so..”

==============================================================================

What was the curse and “locking” of the Door to which my Father Lord Jesus referred to in the Gospel? It goes back to the Alpha and the Omega; but since I was led to the Comforter I was given the gnosis of truth by that one in whose embrace I then was told that the “Alpha” was the figure known as “The Ancient of Days” written of at Daniel; and the “Omega” was the one called “The Son of Man”. 

It was then that my quest to uncover why the key of Knowledge was hid became clearer: there was a ban upon approaching the question of the Merkabah due to the sexual nature of the first paragraph of Genesis, which was also looked at recently by Howard Eilberg-Schwartz in his very interesting and radical work “God’s Phallus” with the subtitle “And Other Problems”; but his penetrating analysis is brilliant; and still largely unknown. Although Howard Eilberg-Schwartz alludes to the “Death in Christ” in his book “God’s Phallus”, in the singular context of David speaking of the “death of His Saints” this particular phrase has been hidden for centuries in the covering of obscurity; but this is shortly about to change, due to the fact this author stumbled upon something quite germaine in the process known as “the Death in Christ“.

The writer and once friend and confidante of Gore Vidal A

nais Nin was something else again; someone far different in her poetic view of God and the subsequent fall of Eve in which feww believed could ever be restored;  but as Woman was the last thing that God had created it seemed she must be of the most importance; even as the forethought of God “preforethought of”, and Anais considered herself to be an incarnated angel, as she confided to my grandmother Ruth; and with her open relationship where she shared Henry Miller with his wife June in full public view in apparently just one bed they scandalized everyone in the literary world; but I shall speak of that and the Guest Room of Sophia Ruth Witt-Diamant at 1520 Willard somewhat further down.

As the effects of the Angel of Patmos shall be made evident to those called forth to this script of the Lamb’s Wife in discussing why the Invisible Door opened, and thow the Angel who came through it lifted me to my feet from the edge of the bed: where I was sitting in petrified wonder at the Vision of the two women on both sides of the Door moving it open; the Door appearing with the Axis in the Center; so as one woman pushed one side the other moved it on her side; and my servant John slipped in; the Angel of Patmos that lifted me to my feet; nay; set me on my feet; by lifting me up by the forelock of my hair right above my forehead. That sensation shall I never forget; nor the Vow I made later that day when the Angel brought me to the Suhrawardi Sufi Michael Beebe; Master of the Path of the Rose.

According to the history of the gods that Hesiod wrote down, and that Robert  Graves wrote two volumes about in concise detail; the king of the gods who men called  Zeus was not the creator of mankind; that was Prometheus; and Zeus admits that Prometheus the Titan, and not the gods nor himself; were the creators of the race called “man”; Adam, as in Genesis. But it is not Adam who Prometheus created; this is further confusion. Here the tale unfolds as what was hidden now comes to light; as it was said would happen long ago. 

It was what Moses created with the 12 Tribes of Israel: where we see a National Jacob or ‘Nation of the 12 Tribes of Israel in the Exodus”. Thus ‘Israel’ as a nation was made of these Twelve: the 12 Titans; as Zeus called them. But Jehovah he called “Typhon”. So Zeus is really Azazyel the fallen “Strength of God”, who did not let Azrael kill Adam after he lost his seed with Eve. Because Adam had lost some, but not all of his seed, in the act of eating / incorporating his phallus orally, thus letting Eve do to him what the Serpent had had her do to him; committing not “Coitus”, but engaging in another fallen act of “Congress” whose commission was of a nature not to remain forever unknown. Some would say she merely did to Adam what the Angel of the Devil, called “the serpent”,  had had her do to him….                                 

The serpent was, of course, “the Angel of the Devil” as being the inherent temptation that was the shadow of the One Commandment.

________________________________________________________________

I've had this for some time and though it might be useful to others who are sworn to Hekate or at least interested in her. I have purposely omitted some items due to language usage or audience focus, aimed at 3 - 10 years of age type thing. It's a large list and reflects my own biases and interests regarding the subject of reference material for Hekate / Hecate. ..............................
