i really like how chapter 23 is titled in Japanese. in English, it's simply "Stargazing with A Free Spirit" but in Japanese, it's called "満天を頂に叶えるは空の願い".

i'm struggling to translate and word it beautifully in English but it's roughly around the line of: What Grants [You] a Sky [Full of Stars] at the Summit was A Wish Upon the Sky or Wish Upon the Sky Blessing You with A Sky [Full of Stars] at the Summit

(i know it's kind of a mouthful / repetitive 😅 sorry, i still have a lot to learn)

why i like it? because of how they made it into a wordplay of Towa's name. Towa's given name is written as 叶空 in Japanese and as you can see here, it's incorporated in the title. i just think it's neat! especially when it's a chapter focusing on him. c:

funfact: Towa's name is written as 叶空 (叶 = to grant / fulfill, 空 = sky) but "towa" is also another way to read the word 永遠 (eternity / everlasting / forever, etc)!

#tokyo debunker #towa otonashi #tokyo debunker spoilers #obscuary spoilers #not exactly but i'll tag anything that came out of obscuary chapters as that just to be safe as it's still fresh #Towa's last name is Otonashi (音無) which means soundless / no sound. didn't put it in the main post bc it's kinda unrelated #but if anyone's curious!#ANYWAY #Towa is still an enigma to me #what's his real deal? like there is non-zero chance that he's a non-human too (what do you mean his bloodtype is Unknown???)#[Detective Reaching Mode activated]#the fact that Towa appeared again during the arc where non-human ghouls are the main characters #and even has chapters focusing on him #there's also Taiga (whose humanity i also doubt) popping out of nowhere #the fact that Towa & Ed seemed to have a history...#well my wildest guess is that Towa is somekind of a deity / 神様 (or at least part of / related to it)#his ability to affect the weather seems too OP even for a ghoul. it's probably not even his stigma....
