"Let's go catch that light that exists only for us"

[gekidasa]

....that was sadder than I expected ;_____________;








I never realized how much I came to like Kageyama until this episode. That was harsh, specially because... it didn't have to end like that, at all. If only he hadn't taken those necklaces.

And then Yaguruma... I mean, it's pretty obvious that that's what Kageyama wanted, and finally...

"Aibou, we're together eternally. Let's go catch that light that exists only for us."

So bittersweet. ;___________________________;



Kind of SxSy. In reverse, I mean, if Seishirou HAD killed Subaru... except Yaguruma really isn't very Seishirou-y, but the situation, the feel of it, it reminds me a lot of the aftermath at Rainbow Bridge.





Hide blew me away in this ep. Just... that bit where he tightens his jaw, just before he henshins, because he's not going to show much more than that, but it's enough to convey VOLUMES about Yaguruma's feelings.






ETA: dimmie, I'm pretty sure this is you were talking about today, about something you wanted to say but couldn't yet? :3

ALSO, and this is another way in which they remind me of SxS, Kageyama was, like you say, the lost and confused boy, and Yaguruma was his mentor from the start to the end, but specially his mentor when trying to find his way through hopelessness and despair.

And I know people sometime don't get why Subaru is the Hanged Man in the Tarot, but it makes PERFECT sense because Seishirou is Death. Because the Hanged Man is man descending into hell in order to gain knowledge, and Death is the beginning of something new, so I always thought that was REALLY well done on CLAMP's part, because I read it as them saying that Seishirou is Subaru's guide and mentor, because sweet, innocent Subaru is... well, he's incomplete. In order to be complete, he needs to see the other side, and Seishirou showed him that, and led him by the hand into hell, so to speak, and it was complete by makign Subaru kill him and then Subaru becoming the sakurazukamori. So the whole mentor and guide for the trip down into hell thing is why the Hoppers are oddly similar to them.

.....OH. Now I see what you meant. I wasn't getting the reference too well, but yes, this makes perfect sense. You're amazing, sensei. D:

(and you're not even in ~academia~ ;x)

Haha, yeah. I realized I wasn't explaining that AT ALL.

I mean, I will never try to deny that Seishirou is anything other than amoral and selfish, BUT beyond that, I've always seen him fundamentally as Subaru's guide on his journey, so that's why I look at the Hoppers and think "SxS", because Yaguruma is the guide, and then in the end one destroyed the other and thus destroyed them both.

It was never about evil semes corrupting innocent ukes. :3
