2023-02-25 12:49:52 +0000 UTCOkay so this is making me want to go down in a rabbit hole of thought again. Because every time I feel I know the story I know I donāt. But I had this feeling as well. You articulated this beautifully. Such a good take on this. I want to know more so bad š like hello loop š Iām coming in. Because thatās where itās throwing me. So many subtle suggestions, phrases and the way the characters react to each and others. This is such a great take. Especially since they have given us the character sheets as well. Thank you

2023-02-19 23:17:43 +0000 UTCOo this analysis is amazing!! (Also youre half right, Turtle is the agressive syndicate persona ((the one currently fighting for control)). If I remember correctly the little one is called Sho-Sho!)

2023-02-19 23:15:41 +0000 UTCIād like to preface this by saying I study psychology and am a therapist and love this artist and work and this is gonna be a lot but mainly just guesses! Ok just some Sherlock Holmes stuff. But up until this point it seems as though she killed herself or thatās what has been eluded too. The first letter of the part that was blacked doesnāt seem to start with S for suicide but rather it looks like an it could be a H. Like for Hiro. Of course it could be a t (maybe took her own life). But based on the way the Authors really prioritizing mental health and things like that I doubt theyād shy away from just saying Suicide. On top of that we donāt really know the reason why shoto not only left the clan but clearly snapped and regressed. Sure this could point to the violence dealt all throughout his childhood, but he was mostly resilient and it seems like with most there was a straw that broke the camels back so to speak. Not only did it repeat the generational curse of their half baked Oedipus complex (wanting to murder their father not be with his mother) it also created a split personality where it was no longer safe for the main personality to āruleā. Iāll use regressed 1 (R1) for medium regressed shoto which is his normal personality now and regressed 2 (R2) for deep regression which is his little persona I think this personality is called turtle only because I canāt remember the individual regressions names regressed 3 (R3) the one currently fighting to be the primary (the stabby stabby kill one). Ok so once again we know that at the sight of violence shoto breaks down now right as though he has PTSD. But heās not scared when it comes to telling these people off rather itās only triggered with some type of fighting. Heās not scared on the hand that heāll be hurt by the way heās acting because the point of the regressions are so that they can protect you. If he was scared of that then he would let R3 come to the surface to protect rather than him forcing his way up. In fact it seemed the little time R3 spent on the surface shoto broke down far worse. It seems to me that R3 is the one that holds the most memories of his mother his past and all the bad things. As we saw already R1 has no problem recalling other violent things about the syndicate in fact was perfectly fine telling you about their inner workings and stuff like that. So itās not the memory itself of the Tanakas or violence itself that triggers shoto. If youāre with me this far this is where Sakura comes in but this is a lot I know lol. So going back to the beginning Hiro tried desperately to āshow shoto a taste of what his life was likeā. It almost seems he forgets exactly why he killed his father in the first place exacting the same type of sick preversions on Shoto. It seemed however that shoto ānever learnedā despite all the fucked up ways he tried to teach the head of the family. I havenāt seen much of Hiro but from what I have seen it seems as though he has Narcissistic personality disorder. Anyways we notice at a time that shoto doesnāt have many bruises on him any more and it seems as though Sakura has more and more. Iām assuming that Hiro decided to flip the switch and was like āoh it seems nothing I do gets through to you but you love your mother huh? You love your mother right? Iām gonna start hurting her Everytime you āfuck upāā (please be aware of the air quotes im using). Probably the reason shoto never made a mistake and trained harder than his siblings. Both because he couldnāt and because he didnāt want them to take his place. Now there is the point with that friend who died in the ālight novelā Iām assuming that Hiro had him killed or the friend from what it seemed was using shoto and Hiro found out. He was probably tested and asked if he would rather a higher position in the syndicate or money or something or shotos hand and so he went missing. Iām assuming this because it doesnāt seem that his father is necessarily homophobic as Icihibans relationship (sorry if I got the name wrong I have really bad dyslexia and Iām really bad with names lol). So now Iām assuming something happened. Maybe Shoto saying he would be leaving the syndicate or something else and Hiro killed Sakura and made shoto watch. This is probably the reason why Hiro says that āshoto is trying to get back at himā or things along these lines because he did something fucked too shoto. I have more theories and a broader explanation but I already feel this is too long lol. Once again I love love love this story, itās depiction of mental health, and love <3 thank you for reading!

2023-02-19 22:55:40 +0000 UTCOh yeah youāre right we might get something in the future like a flashback about her story more and how she died
MovieFanatic
2023-02-19 22:44:58 +0000 UTCOh no not Hiro, Im talking about Sakura. Theres a print with Hiro and Sakura when they were way younger where Sakuras already been abused, and both that and bits of info weve gotten about Sakura (and Hiro) imply she was being abused by someone else beforehand. Im not denying Hiro was and still *is* abusive at all, but her state in the character sheet seems to have taken place earlier in their relationship, before things got bad between her and Hiro.
Blue Meringue
2023-02-19 22:44:11 +0000 UTCYeah I saw one where he remembered his dad letting him get assaulted as a child but itās evidence he did physically beat up his wife and especially shoto since heās the eldest and I wonder if he had gotten help would things be different
MovieFanatic
2023-02-19 22:38:52 +0000 UTCYou're welcome ! Sadly, that one is a bit of spoiler !
Kurutta Hito
2023-02-19 22:38:37 +0000 UTCActually based on previous prints, its implied this physical and sexual abuse stuff happened before Sakura and Hiro got together (or at least before they were married). Hiro was definitely unhealthy af and abusive towards his whole family, but I dont think he was the cause of her physical state in these drawings

2023-02-19 22:37:02 +0000 UTCThank you! Aww that's sad š Assuming its not a spoiler, was it like genuine fell out of touch or "best friend mysteriously started avoiding/mysteriously disappeared" type of out of touch?
Blue Meringue
2023-02-19 22:34:56 +0000 UTCShe kept a diary...... hm, curiouser. She really got dealt a rough hand
eladwodahs
2023-02-19 22:33:52 +0000 UTCSince this is a spoiler-free question, it will be answered. Sakura fell out of touch with her best friend when she was 16 years old.
Kurutta Hito
2023-02-19 22:32:30 +0000 UTCAlso for some clarity, Hiro never sexually assaulted Sakura. Her story will also be deeply explored in the comic.

2023-02-19 22:31:14 +0000 UTCShe was so beautiful. I hope to see her more in the future about her pastš¤

2023-02-19 22:29:31 +0000 UTCThis is so sad why did Hiro do this to his family he seemed so happy at the beginning heās complex but what he did to shoto and his wife and kids is unacceptable and I wonder how his story will end

2023-02-19 22:29:05 +0000 UTCWas Sakura still in touch with her best friend when she died? And do her kids know them?
