Heavenly D Ep 7

So the Immortal Order is like the Adeptus Mechanicus? lol

Spearbearer Josh

could work as clone of the director, then would have none of the disabilities of the original.

rickie woodson

Not Roshi thinking all asian women look the same lmao

Mr. Glasses

We dont know very much abou the director and havent seen her all that much. He said that and I just though the timeline didnt match up mainly lol. Shes in a wheelchair thats what I remember lol, I dont really remeber if she had both legs or if one was a prosthetic

Vincent S Deluca

Was about to say-

Mounya Kamidjigha

To be fair, replacing or reattaching a new leg isn't so far fetched in a fictional world where we've swapped someone's brain into a new body, especially considering the advanced technology in the facility where she's director. Honestly, it's more surprising she's in a wheel chair at all. Apart from the two children who passed, she's the only person there with any sort visible disability or illness.

No no, the Liviumen (the group opposed to the Immortal Order) claim that the members of the Immortal Order worship the chopped up human that is kept alive by machines.

Theo Vorster

How the fuck would she be the director?? She is MISSING ONE OF HER LEGS, no??? Director had both of her legs, altho she's likely a criplie (unless it's just due to her age or w/e) since she's on that wheel chair despite having both of her legs

Skebaba

Fizzy

@Seraph_Dalgon Skill Issue

Skebaba

Dr Usami is the one conducting the human experiments. And they weren't worshiping the human machine, they were against it.

Arc

Holy shit just binged the manga. Only 54 chapters and what a story so far.

Kreative

Kisuke01

Can't listen to the bald guy talk without hearing "Results of today's match: Kaguya wins"

Chelsea Avila

The only reason I think the facility situation happened in the past is because there's no way for humanity to rebuild up to the facility from the Great disaster anytime soon, they would be too short on resources to get to that point. It's more plausible that whatever the great disaster was caused humanity to collapse with most of its technology.

Devin B

This story is too sad for me

Oh Alone

i think the nursery being in the past might be correct because those kids were being turned into man eaters and the future is when we see those man eaters so im sticking with that until im proven otherwise

KeYo

Wait, their Patreon channel has moderators? I had no idea.

Merfhew

Yeah the collected tankōbon volumes of the manga sometimes include additional informational pages, often being stuff like world-building factoids.

Theo Vorster

Since Sheera mentioned it being "freezing" out; there actually was an info page about climate in the manga a couple of chapters after the ones adapted by this episode (not really a spoiler, and I doubt it'll be mentioned in the anime); "The average temperature outside reaches highs of around 12 degrees (54°F) and lows in the single digits (34-50°F), it is thus rather chilly. On sunny days, the temperature can reach around 14 degrees (57°F). The temperature is steadily rising in the midst of the long winter." ----- "On the other hand, the temperature at the school where Tokio and the others live is kept at a constant 25 degrees (77°F).

Ledish

This biggest mystery of this show is how everyone still has well kept white clothes instead of everything looking like an old sock.

Grant Beaudette

It’s wild hearing the Kaguya-sama narrator speak in something that isn’t Kaguya

SWAGxMAGICIAN

Man last episode made me read the manga and catch up. This show is wild. The mysteries are incredible, and the reveals to some things are amazing. There are even mysteries to come that will be revealed, whether by the end of this season or beginning of what will be s2. No spoilers here, just... these next 2 episodes are really good imo, and the reveal on some things from them later on cement them as really good to me. Can't wait

WeavyBoo

For those interested in reading along with the manga, Episode 7 adapted all of chapters 18 and 19, and the first 13 pages of chapter 20 (13/32 pages), which is about 2.41 chapters worth of manga. With this first season being planned to adapt up to about chapters 34-37 of the manga, the pacing of the remaining 6 episodes will on average range from about ~2.43-2.93 chapters adapted per episode. If anyone was confused as to why Maru was “kissing” Kiruko when the latter was hallucinating in today’s episode, according to an interview Masakazu Ishiguro (the mangaka of the series) gave in August 2022 (published in a recently released Heavenly Delusion guidebook), Maru was attempting to induce unconsciousness on Kiruko (by way of suffocation) in order to break them out of their hallucination. As for why Maru didn’t use his hands instead (to cover Kiruko’s nose and/or mouth), I can only guess Maru had to use both his hands to restrain Kiruko from flailing about when they were hallucinating (and Doylistically I also assume Ishiguro simply just wanted to write a scene that involved a “wake-up kiss” between Kiruko and Maru). Also one small difference between the English subtitle translation (and dub) and the official English manga translation, when Maru was thinking about Kiruko’s current demeanor/mood, in the anime Maru uses she/her pronouns when referring to Kiruko, while in the manga Maru uses they/them pronouns. This is likely only an issue/discrepancy that exists for the English translation, as in Japanese (gendered) third-person pronouns aren’t really a thing like they are in English. And if anyone needs a refresher on the ages of the cast of characters: Maru is 15 years old, while Kiruko is mentally 18 and physically 20. The approximate ages of Tokio, Shiro (the white-silver haired teen who was sent the nude photo), Mimihime (the subject of said photo), Taka (the super strong/durable kid), and Anzu (the black haired girl who is good at dancing) are all 14 years old. The approximate ages of Nanaki & Iwa (the two kissing girls), Kuku (the frog-like girl) and Tarao (the sick and now dead kid) are all 10 years old. And Kona’s (the kid who draws the strange drawings) approximate age is 17 years old. And if anyone is interested in starting the manga after this season is finished (it is currently planned to adapt up to some part of tankōbon Volume 6 of the manga, likely somewhere in the range of chapters 34-37), I personally would still recommend starting the manga from the beginning regardless, as in addition to the standard cutting of extra dialogue and scenes from the anime for run-time and cinematic pacing, the chapter titles and cover pages of the manga also play a role in experiencing the foreshadowing of the story that the anime can’t quite replicate (due to the inherent difference in mediums). The mangaka of Heavenly Delusion, Masakazu Ishiguro (who is active on Twitter), their most well known previous work is “And Yet the Town Moves” (also known as Soremachi), which was serialized from 2005-2016. They have also done a number of other single volume manga and short stories collections. Ishiguro's has also stated that the major influences for the Heavenly Delusion series, include the works Akira, Armored Trooper Votoms, and an old Japanese science-fiction novel titled "Dogra Magra" that was written Kyūsaku Yumeno (who appears as a character in Bungo Stray Dogs) and published in 1935.
