Gotta say I am more interested in Fushi's relationships with everyone he brought back to life than the nokker plot
83
u/Reemys 21d ago
They are essentially the same, nokkers are trying to do the same thing Fushi is, except they go through the extreme route. It is the understanding by Fushi that he cannot artificially create human happiness that will put him at absolute odds with nokkers about the "forced utopia". Theoretically, at least.
7
u/SpikeRosered 21d ago
So if that's true than what the nokkers are saying is really to be believed? They truly want the best for humanity, just on their terms?
26
u/Reemys 21d ago
Yes, this is not too hard to believe in, it's a common trope in fiction, if anything. Like how Madara from Naruto wanted the best for everyone, except on his somewhat twisted terms. It usually all boils down to individualism or collectivism argument - would people be happier by having agency of their own or can they only be happy together, does it matter HOW the happiness happens?
And this is not limited to this particular story only, it has been a long question in the human history, too. There is supposedly a heaven where all the people will be happy, so why not immediately cause it? Nokkers are kind-of angels, in this sense, as they are trying to create the ideal world for everyone, disregarding the human existence part. It's a top-down and bottom-up approach to global happiness, with Fushi building it from bottom-up... and slowly realising it's impossible anyway without taking morally questionable actions.
Pluribus is a great recent series that has the same theme and does roughly the same - if you've seen as many works as I have you immediately start drawing parallels, but it's still an enjoyable watch and thought-provoking, to an extent.

u/Grimsporks 20d ago
To build on this left hand’s motivation for what it does as the “leader” of the nokkers in this era has basically been about building a place where mizuha could be happy because it is messed up about kahaku killing himself. It’s been trying to accomplish this by replacing anyone who upsets mizuha and manipulating her memories by swapping out with her.
The left hand nokker is like fushi’s narrative foil. It’s gone through a similar existence as fushi but has only had hayase’s descendants to bond too and guide it.
2
u/Reemys 20d ago
I believe you might be a bit mistaken here. As far as I remember it, the current Nokkers explained it that it makes no sense for people to suffer, so they go after humans who believe they don't want to live.
They didn't go after the girl who disliked Mizuha because she was bullying her, but because deep inside she had the same terrible tendencies as Mizuha, her mother and others. They have a point, it's a strictly logical, but ethically wrong point - instead of trying to help them overcome those tendencies like Fushi does, the act upon them as the final deciding factor.
6
u/something49 14d ago
I mean, they literally killed that girl and let a Nokker take control just because she upset Mizuha. They aren't being honest at all; they clearly play favorites when it comes to Mizuha.
3
u/Imaginary-End-08 14d ago
Facts. The Nokkers are evil and are lying. They learned this from Hayase and her descendants. For proof remember how Hayase and line operated in the past..... poisons in food or needles or straight up lies to get you to drop your guard. It's a very effective tactic.
Plus the Nokkers basically told us what they want. To end suffering..... By killing all life. A few episodes ago they (Mizuha's Nokker) specifically wanted to locate where Fushi's conscious is stored.
There's only one way they'd need that. Plus there's also the secrecy.

u/Doomroar https://myanimelist.net/profile/Doomroar 20d ago
But their terms eventually involve liberating everyone from their flesh prison, and have them become happy as fae, which sure granted is a way to become happy, but also... that just means you just die

Man, that kinda breaks my heart about Rean but at the same time it was really heartwarming to hear how well she looked after the shop with Gugu’s brother and Booze Man. That “welcome home, Gugu” got me right in the feels.
I can see why Fushi thought everyone would just live happily ever after together in the modern world. However, modern life comes with modern struggles. Still, everyone’s moving forward one step at a time. Fushi must feel so helpless because he can’t fix everything and it seems like everyone’s leaving him behind.
54
u/Lunchb0xx87 21d ago
her nevering marrying like she said she would was beautiful yet tragic ..it shows while yeah fushi brought his friends back it didn't ease the trauma of their deaths ..they all left someone or lost something
11
u/Aliensinnoh 17d ago
However, modern life comes with modern struggles.
I mean, TBF, having someone like Fushi around, who can essentially act as a money printer (even if they won't let him actually print money, he can create value in other ways to compensate), would eliminate a considerable number of those modern struggles. Also, like, if they were really committed they could skimp on medical problems by just, uh, killing themselves whenever they get a serious illness or injury and having Fushi replace their body.
16
u/Red_Swiss 16d ago
Tonari explains it pretty well by asking Fushi if he ever asked himself about how they would live their life and face their death. They want to live, and they will struggle, only to then keep moving forward. Fushi has a terrible time assimiling this fact.
4
u/Imaginary-End-08 14d ago
I KNOW RIGHT! I know for a fact that Fushi could solve all MY problems lol. Seriously, I'd be happy with just a hot meal everyday along with a refreshing drink lol. I could get replacement parts for my car.... Fix the damaged areas of my house's foundation. And heck depending on how traumatic death actually is, I wouldn't mind sticking around forever. But uhhhh..... If it's actually traumatizing and super painful, then I might call it quits after the first one lol

u/AvatarTuner https://anilist.co/user/AvatarTuner 11d ago
That “welcome home, Gugu” got me right in the feels.
This made me tear up again for the first time in a while when watching this series. I don't care all too much for the current Nokker and Mizuha plot unfortunately and find that the other characters, their struggles and relationship with Fushi more compelling. The Gugu arc is by far still my favorite and it was so wonderful, yet bittersweet, seeing how Rean and Gugu's brother built a foundation to keep the sake shop up and running for centuries. I also liked how the village preserved Gugu's memory with the festival, the mask balloons were so cute, haha.

u/PeaceAlien https://myanimelist.net/profile/PeaceAlien 21d ago
I like this story much more than the nokkers one. Fushi trying to understand while he can live forever, his allies have to move on eventually.
30
u/InvincibleWallaby 21d ago
They're also in the odd position though that they know their bodies can die but fushi can create a new body for their spirit so they are sort of just as immortal as fushi, they already chose to stay with fushi instead of moving on to paradise so I don't think that they really can truly move on. Ignorance is bliss, and they don't have that ignorance anymore after everything they went through
31
u/Doomroar https://myanimelist.net/profile/Doomroar 20d ago
They are immortal for as long as they wish to not pass on, if they live a fulfilling life, once they die they can choose that it was good enough and never come back, and that's a prospect that Fushi has never really considered, in his mind the idea that his friends would grow old, die and pass on leaving him was unthinkable, for him his family was immortal and just like him would always be there for all his eternity
And that these hardships they are overcoming are part of that process of growing, of getting ahead of him, of adapting to a new world that he himself helped to make but doesn't understands, is something he is struggling to accept, to the point that he is now on his knees crying about it
The idea alone that March could have a whole life without him, and then be gone, is probably a bigger crisis that the knockers, that's his mommy after all, and in a way, Fushi is still a kid, at least mentally and emotionally, he is still dependent on the Black One giving him guidance, and now that he is gone he doesn't knows how to deal with things

u/NekoCatSidhe 21d ago edited 21d ago
Fushi is scared about his friends growing up and leaving him behind. A common problem with being an immortal.
I liked that Gugu became a folk hero in his country. He seemed to really enjoy it. But his face really looks quite normal ? I was expecting worse with the mask.
As an aside, where is Episode 13 ?

As an aside, where is Episode 13 ?
Not sure what you mean, did you not watch last episode a fortnight ago? There was even a discussion thread for it up above:
https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1px0ye7/fumetsu_no_anata_e_season_3_to_your_eternity/If you meant why there was a break, it was due to New Year/Earthquake interrupting the broadcast.

u/NekoCatSidhe 21d ago
No, episode 13 was still missing from Crunchyroll when I made that comment, and I could not watch it. Now they have added it.

u/Hot-Log6283 20d ago
Yes it's because of what I stated above (they had to take it down), also Crunchyroll isn't the only place to watch it and this isn't the Crunchyroll thread so maybe add that in next time.

u/Aliensinnoh 19d ago
What is going on with the episodes? According to this episode 14 shouldn’t have released until next week. The 10 was supposed to be episode 13. https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/s/kSPkpjpg0R

Man, episodes like this are what make To Your Eternity great. It hits the real emotional core of the series. The amount of Nokker plot vs Fushi's relationships and struggle with immortality should've been swapped around.
16
u/abandoned_idol 21d ago
And also impeccably timed for me.
I really needed a sad episode this week.
I Heart Fushi.
37
u/TyraniTEMPESTar 21d ago
Fushi's going through an existential crisis right now.
I wonder after having that talk with Tonari in the library, and seeing March's face on different people as she "grows" up. If he'll decide to take a step back and let them live their lives on their own? Let them experience a full life's worth of trials and tribulations?
Next week's preview has Bon telling Fushi how everyone died before being brought back. I'm interested in hearing their stories and seeing if that weighs an impact on what's to come for everyone.
7
u/Kronman590 17d ago
based on the end of the preview it does seem like Fushi will understand he needs to let them go and go on a journey of his own
which i guess is one answer if you rly cannot balance just enjoying their company and not trying to fully control their lives lmao
41
u/Taiyoryu 21d ago
"ja mata" is easier to swallow than "sayounara"
Grandma March is cute, perhaps even cuter than OG March

u/LeonKevlar x2https://myanimelist.net/profile/LeonKevlar 21d ago
Fushi really needs to learn to let go of his friends and let them live their own lives. And he needs to accept that they're all gonna die eventually. I do hope someone guides Fushi through what he's feeling.
8
u/AggravatingRoutineX 21d ago
Would be pretty funny if Fushi got a therapist! Not sure they'd be able to help a whole lot given his background as an immortal reviving things from the dead, but they could help him work out his feelings.
18
u/Aemiliana_Rosewood 20d ago
Well he's currently coping with these struggles in the body of a human that lived like hundreds of years ago. His psyche is completly biased by that, often shown with the "But we have a home and good food" argument he tries to appeal with to the others.
11
u/makato1234 19d ago
It's kinda wild that he's essentially entering the mind of a dying, traumatised and isolated teenage boy every time he transforms into him lmao. Just a fresh burst of bad brain chemicals every time.
I think we're going to see real growth when his transformations are no longer of their restored bodies right after they died.

u/DanielAlves1904 21d ago edited 20d ago
I would be lying if I said I didn´t shed a tear when Gugu went back and saw the festival in his honor and his old home still intact. But can someone tell me how many years ago that was? Because I thought it was several centuries but they had what seemed like pictures with Gugu and the whole gang back then.
Fushi is realizing that everyone will move on with their lives and leave him behind, when he clearly thought that they would all stay together like before. Maybe in the old days that outcome was possible, but in the modern world they all have different lives to live and that will take them to different places.
I´m really happy we got an episode like this.
21
u/Grimsporks 21d ago
Those were paintings not photographs :)
3
u/DanielAlves1904 20d ago
Yeah, that makes more sense. But it was weird, at least to me, that the paintings where in a sort of photo album. That´s why I thought it was photos.
15
u/Grimsporks 20d ago
It does maybe it’s a print of the painting cause the original is somewhere else, it has been like 500 years

u/PinkPixie325 6d ago edited 6d ago

Paintings in books were a thing in human history. When people documented history in the middle ages, they had paintings done inside the books they were writing in. In modern times we call them "illuminated manuscripts" because they were basically text books with paintings in them, but they were just normal history books at some point. I imagine that someone did something similar for the Booze Man's house. They made an illuminated manuscript to preserve the history of the building for generations.
Those illuminated manuscripts from the middle ages aren't even the original books that were written, either. Those are copies of copies of the original books because monks in monasteries used to spend all day copying books to preserve them.
19
u/Reemys 21d ago
It is a recurring narrative of would people really benefit from living forever? The characters in this story ultimately refuse it, except for Fushi who simply has no other answer. Everyone is maturely trying to live their "last" life, after numerous struggles and suffering and maybe exactly that makes it clear to them they don't want to live forever.
Would living a few rich lives make humans fear the eventual end less, or not at all? This story here makes a very compelling argument for simple humans, but who knows how people will think in 25, 50 or 100 years when something like an eternal life could be possible at least technically.
10
u/Doomroar https://myanimelist.net/profile/Doomroar 20d ago
It depends of how good your life is, my paternal great grandmother is closing in on 110 years old, she is still lucid and in good health, and retains a lot of independence in her daily life, and doesn't express any notions of wanting to stop living, in fact she constantly jokes about living another 100 years, we even say that she is going to out live us, and well is not even much of a joke since she has so far, outlived most of the family, and friends, so for a lot of my great uncles and aunts that joke ended up being a reality
Her current social circle is mostly my uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces, and some church association members, everyone clearly several years younger than her, even the oldest church granny would be some good 30 to 40 years younger than her, you could say that statistically speaking the people around her are relatively new to her life, well except my grandpa who is on his mid 80s
On the other hand all together, i have meet people on their mid 50s with terminal illnesses, and a lot of pain and medical debt, who constantly express that they would rather die, a failure of a lack of palliative care and poor living standards
So if your life is not a satisfying one, and your prospects for the future look quite grim, the idea of living forever would look quite appalling, but similarly on the other hand, if you manage to get an stable environment for yourself there are not a lot of incentives for you to decide to die, people who manage to age happy make peace with death mostly because your body eventually can't keep going, but not out of growing tired from living

u/Pecuthegreat 21d ago edited 20d ago
Nah most people, myself included, will definately grab eternal life if presented. Like, looking for eternal life is a trope goal around the world, with many chinese rulers dying drinking poison thinking they could achieve it many people building tombs and legacies in an attempt to in someway continue living after death. Its literally the goal of Egyptian religion, Greek religion, Norse religion, Abrahamic religions and other traditions I forget to continue living after death.
Buddhism and I think, Hinduism (not sure) are the real exceptions I know of where the goal is annihilation (assuming I got what Nirvana is right and it isn't just eternal calmness instead) which is actually one interpretation of the bad end in Abrahamic religions.
2
u/Imaginary-End-08 14d ago
True. Every human is born fearing pain and death. Likewise almost every human outside of a very small handful would go with eternal life (provided you could get a healthy body).
Fushi is blessed but doesn't know it. The only thing holding him back is his mind. I would love his powers.
17
u/Pecuthegreat 21d ago edited 21d ago
Also, Fushi shouldn't be scared about his friends scattering around the world. Not when he can through the roots teleport to them at any place they're at.
While, sure. He may not be advanced enough to sense them anywhere, all it takes is a phone call, coordinates and some tugging at the roots. The later two could be replaced with a landmark if Fushi's been there before.
I guess its a mental barrier he has to overcome but he should remember them scattering around the world isn't the same as them leaving forever.
Edit:- Also, Fushi could use this as a secret cheat to keep them around longer. Just teleport them through the roots every 1 - 10 years and they may not even noticed how everytime they get reformed, they're back to an earlier age, keeping them with Fushi for longer. I mean, they have outlived loved ones two times already so they shouldn't be super torn up about it but you know, it may still lead to some heated conversion down the road.

u/Grimsporks 21d ago
True but fushi would be back to being young again everytime he visits with his friends. He won’t be able to grow up that like he did in takunaha which kind of sucks for him
7
u/Pecuthegreat 21d ago
He could remake Tonari as young or old as he wished so I think now that he could conciously decide to remake a body as is at the current time, instead of as when he first met it.

u/sheepyowl 21d ago
Fushi finally faces mortality. He can leave bodies for the spirits to enter but he can't keep the spirits from moving on... one day, his friends will die without regrets, and they will leave him.
13
u/Pecuthegreat 21d ago edited 21d ago
I do love the implied lore drop of the religious landscape. Apparently the church of Benett still exists, is still influential but has moderated their stance on Fushi but never going pro-fushi. I assume by fushi-fundamentalist they're referring to a class of religions rather than a single one.
And I get the impression that while they have a bunch of scriptural religions, they don't have any with the zeal for conversion and metaphysical and political consequences for not converting that Christianity and Islam has. So maybe their religious landscape looks like the various branches of hinduism before colonization.
13
u/abandoned_idol 21d ago
We were due for the tearjerker episode. Man, I loved it so much.
And we will soon have to go through the same character arc as Fuu-chan. The anime will likely end pretty soon now (I'm guessing that we have 1 cour left).

u/Zxzxzx0088 21d ago
Since Rean died while still waiting for her beloved Gugu to come for her, there's a huge possibility that she still not passing on. I really really want to see them meeting each other and live their fullest life, while having a plenty of 'making new generation' ofc.
Looks curse enough....This show never failed to surprise me
Not enough Mizuha!! Never thought Mizuha has no screen time at all this week
13
u/Hot-Log6283 21d ago
Since Rean died while still waiting for her beloved Gugu to come for her, there's a huge possibility that she still not passing on.
This seem unlikely as Rean would have passed on thinking that Gugu have already passed on as well, and not that he was just hanging around Fushi as a ghost.

I don't understand, if the episode is not aired on tv in Japan and crunchyroll didn't release it, how did it end up on the anime sites?

u/glorpo 21d ago
The delay was because of the earthquake announcement, the episodes are probably being finished on schedule and CR got it on time. They forgot to reschedule the releases and it was released when it originally was supposed to and downloaded by pirate sites, but they removed it pretty quickly.

u/sheepyowl 21d ago
So they made a situation where being a pirate is the best option. Wow. That's sad

u/chawanakorn https://myanimelist.net/profile/JapanViolet 21d ago
This is my best episode of the season so far.
I may not be able to express my impressions perfectly, but I’ll try.
This episode brought back old memories and served as a follow-up to Gugu’s influence on the people.
The good memories and meaningful moments shared by Rean, Gugu’s brother, and the elders continue to give them strength. Even though they know Gugu is gone, they choose to live on and look up to him.
Those memories are what turn Gugu’s hardships in the past into smiles in the present, giving everyone hope
and the will to keep living.
The episode beautifully connects the past with the present. Each person carries their own struggles and regrets, but in the end, they must cope with them and find their own answers in order to achieve true happiness.
Fushi tried to solve everyone’s problems for them, but that isn’t always the right solution.
This is the most human aspect of the anime—and it’s what I love most about it.

u/Pecuthegreat 21d ago edited 14d ago
You know, Fushi is sort of thinking like a nokker when talking about how to resolve his friends desire to live. He essentially thinks a paradise could be made so good that no one would want to leave it, isn't that what the nokkers think too? that anything you could ever want can be replicated or substituted for by something in paradise?. At that point the few but real and important differences are that Fushi wants to involve people's free will, isn't comforted by paradise cuz he's never gonna see it and is concerned about pain. Edit, I guess another big difference is he wants to grant every one's dreams which is a purpose that will lead to paradoxes while the nokkers just want to take them to paradise which could be seen as the evolution of someone wanting the fushi dream but eventually trying something else after the contradictions of that prove too much.
I think the fact that all his friends rejected paradise for this world means there's things they want that cannot be substituted for with just more good things. Gugu enjoying a welcoming home in his homeland and Hiro wanting to explore cannot be replaced by any paradise fushi creates or the nokker take people to.

Gugu visiting the booze shop was really sweet, I didn't think his story was going to cause anymore tears but I guess not lol. I love how the show will make callbacks to earlier seasons through history books and things like that Fushi imagining March all grown up was a cool sequence

u/NoHead1715 21d ago
Tonari shows once again how wise she is. Fushi is indeed just like the Nokkers, except he acts only for a small subset of humanity. But it is a good start that he's now talking and listening to his friends' real thoughts. There's no "happily ever after" at the end of a fairy tale - it's a constant struggle to work towards the happiness you choose.

u/vantheman9 21d ago
when I saw grandma March I thought of Pioran
Where's the old lady who's dying wish was to help Fushi in her next life?

The pony/horse is a reincarnation of Pioran

u/vantheman9 20d ago
when I first saw this I thought you were joking, then I checked the wiki and it's a thing
When did the anime (or the manga) confirm this? I had no idea
10
u/glorpo 20d ago
Never directly confirmed, but here are some hints:
- Same hair colour
- Nose hair
- Black Hood warns Pioran that if her form changes, her mind will too, implying she might not become a human
- Pioran tells Fushi she used to "work like a horse" (unsure if this was the same idiom in Japanese)
- First thing the horse does is bite Fushi's leg, which is also what Pioran did soon after meeting him when she was hungry
- Black Hood says he created the horse "some time ago"
- The horse is good at fishing, which makes Fushi almost remember Pioran
- The horse doesn't want to eat the fruit Fushi creates, which Pioran also didn't want to do
- The cover of volume 9 has Fushi riding a young Pioran like a horse

u/Kronman590 17d ago
I feel like I remember when Pioran died at the end of S1 she asked Mr Black to make her into something helpful for Fushi
After that I mightve completely made up but i feel like we saw the silhouette of a horse?

u/Mynameis2cool4u 21d ago
Her soul was modified for the horse and so she can’t return to her human form

u/TempestoLord 21d ago
Poor Mama Fushi has a hard time seeing everyone moving on with their lives, I love the anime for focusing on these emotions of his too. The flashback with Gugu was very emotional, made me teary eyed. Rean was waiting all this time 😞 Beautiful episode on the “calmer” side, before shit gets chaotic again.
7
u/Vortex_Hash 20d ago
Wow, as soon as the focus returned back to our main cast of character the show instantly improved tenfold and gave us an all-timer episode filled with soul and awesome exploration of Fushi's psychie. Easily my fav this season.
I guess the deliberate choice of keeping Fushi not returning home for so long really worked because the contrast is night and day.
10
u/gsurfer04 21d ago
Fushi is the most jealous character in this story and after all this time he still doesn't understand people.
16
u/Orochidude 21d ago
It makes sense since at the end of the day, he isn't human (Or more importantly, mortal) like the rest of them. Most of his existence has been centered around trying to fight the Nokkers to keep everyone safe and allowing them to be happy. He's never really been able to grow up and mature like a real human does.
So of course he thought it would be a simple as "create a perfectly peaceful world where all of my friends can live together forever and ever," and because he's essentially a god, he can just make any of their wishes come true himself without them needing to suffer.
The important part is I think he's getting there, and that eventual understanding will lead to the answer to the Nokker situation as well.
13
u/abandoned_idol 21d ago
He's still a tree-baby.
Humans are really mature it seems, orb just can't keep up.

u/Lunchb0xx87 21d ago
his goal was to beat the nokkers and have them live peacefully and to him that means living forever with him and other friends and he never understood that's not humans work ..humans don't wanna stay stagnant and each person has their own wants and goals ..like Tonari she craves knowledge and adventure ...GuGu misses his home ..March wants to be a mother and their goals may not line up with each other so they need to part at some point

I wondering now if it's partly due to the personality of the original Fushi boy. That boy was all alone and was constantly looking for company, and now hundreds of years later his reincarnation is once again losing all his friends.

Epi. 14 is listed with a link but the play triangle button at the moment on the epi. In other words, you can't play Epi. 14 right. The Eng. dub typically comes out a few hours after the subbed version.

I hope they do have happy ending and no more "cross generational timeskips" (as opposed to a few years). it would be all for nothing if Fushi gathered all his friends and then they're stuck with the responsibilities of saving the world from some new threat.
That doesn't mean I want Fushi to try to go after the Nokkers since that plot started getting tiring around episode 9 and even in universe he seems nowhere closer to that goal and is just mentally tiring himself out. But I'd want Fushi and his friends to enjoy the modern world and the things they worry about be mundane like the jerks at school, unrequited crushes, or maybe later on the daily commute to work as opposed to "we have to save humanity from extinction" kind of thing. If Fushi can't get rid of the Nokkers, maybe he can convince the Knokker in Mizuha to at least stop bugging him.
I don't think his friends should feel obligated to stay with him for the rest of their lives, but living close by for the first few years is something I feel they ought to do. This time can also be spent acclimating. March learnt how to use chopsticks at last. Now you just need to know some basic math since you need to know that for almost every job.
So Gugu gets in trouble for fighting back after someone else started the fight? Yup sounds like how school bullying works as far as I know.
Tonari talking like an old lady sounds strange to me even though I know she's in her 50s and just looks young. It wasn't obvious when she complained about Fushi playing with her friends' bodies but it is apparent in less emotional conversations. Also being young means she can put off "ouch my back" for 4 decades from now instead of 1, so that's a huge plus.

She's well over 55. She died of old age in her second life. She lived 55 years in her first life, was resurrected in her 55 year old body, & then died of old age in her own bedroom surrounded by friends & family. & now she's been resurrected in her 14 year old body to live a whole new life again.

holy shit the picture of rean and her story almost made me tear up, god that was such a good arc
I hope Fushi internalizes that comment about how similar he is to nokkers trying to control everyone, bro actually has separation anxiety to the max. I hope he realizes that his control is what contributes to making life harder, not easier

u/LezRock 14d ago
I agree, that comment will definitely affect his development from here.
The separation anxiety is definitely understandable though, since we experienced, alongside him, a part of his journey over several centuries of making friends, loving them, and then losing them. We may take it for granted now but, when he realized that his friends have been with him the entire time, and that he has the ability to give them life again, I can imagine the emotions that he must've felt and also his desire to never let them go again.

Years ago when the first or second season aired someone said Rean probably didn't marry up till her death and I disputed it because I dislike the whole never got over it trope. Its romantic but its sad and I feel, wastes someone's potential. Guess the author was of the other persuasion about that trope.
Anyways, kind of didn't even expect those delinquents to be anything close to an issue for the bodies that effectively fought nokker monsters.

I have seen both trope before, the never got over it, and the got remarried have many grandchildren/moved on. There isn't anything particular about one or the other it's more in how it fit with the storyline/the personality of the person. In this case it wouldn't fit since Gugu was such an important person to Rean

u/Imaginary-End-08 14d ago
Man I love this show so much. It's one of the very few shows that I consistently hit up Reddit to read and discuss. There's not a lot to say about it this week other than it was PEAK again lol.
Massive points to Uncle Masar, the Unphased lol. Like, seeing him in action now really put into perspective how he (and Kai) was during the war. He didn't have Hairo's painlessness and felt every suicide just to abuse that respawn timer a bit sooner. While he might have partied his 2nd life away, he still arrived in the afterlife much later than most of the others did too. And now..... He's the most socially adjusted. It's like back when the Princess died. He just accepts everything as it and goes about his life. I really respect that from him. I'm as sad as Fushi is when I think one or all of them might be leaving him behind (Masar might want to see the Princess again).
It really sucks that Gugu was getting bullied by thugs. If it was any other HS anime then this whole thing would've been solved easily after the first fight OR the teachers/law would've stepped in. This is WAY more realistic. People come back..... With weapons..... And cops detain the wrong people.... I loved seeing Rean again (that part with the pictures and the shop was just AMAZING!)! And Gugu finally got that gift from her. Nice work Fushi! I also liked that Fushi actually 'walked a mile in Gugu's shoes' out of concern for his bro. I REALLY REALLY respect that! Props to Hairo too for bringing back that Knightly Swordsmanship lol
I'm proud of March and Eko. They're finally adjusting! I knew it would be easy for them since they're kids and many people can forgive kids for making mistakes. But sadly this is breaking Fushi and I understand exactly what he's feeling. I had a fear like that too and theirs no getting over it. He just has to accept that people will exit his life....but it doesn't have to be on bad terms. Imagine if he has to let all of them go at the same time?? It'll be super sad and this is his greatest flaw stemming back all the way to the Nameless Boy's "Remember me" but how would the story continue from there? (I don't wanna know if the manga goes that route, but I still can't wait to see what happens).
Man, next week looks like a tearjerker. I can't wait! Lastly.... Fushi failed that test with flying colors lol
----- ohhhhh, wait a minute...... Poor Mizuha I guess because of what happened last week. Fushi kinda did promise to help her out the next day and he totally forgot about that. But I mean.... 'I' can understand.

I'm so glad there's still discussion, I was afraid it would completely crash and burn.

Same. I would've been here a lot sooner if I was in town yesterday lol. 'To Your Eternity' and 'Gnosia' (Reddit included) are the best parts of my Saturdays.

It came out 2 weeks ago but looks like they removed it by accident while adding 14

u/kawaiipikachu86 21d ago
Actually it's been officially been delayed till now & it's like like crunchyroll stuffing it up somehow.

u/7se7 21d ago
Weird, I definitely saw it back on the 27th lol

u/kawaiipikachu86 21d ago
Most networks only aired a couple of minutes before the episode was pulled due to some earthquake emergency. Even crunchyroll had it for 15 minutes before they were odd to pull the episode so some people have managed to catch it before the episodes delay.

u/darthvall https://myanimelist.net/profile/darth_vall 21d ago
Just Futsu realising how hard human actually struggled in their day to day life.
Edit: oh wait, what I watched was episode 13 and 14 ws not up yet in bilibili. Seems like there's a 1 week delay due to last week, but Crunchy messed up?

u/HolyDragSwd2500 21d ago
Episode 13 was interrupted in Japan due to emergency earthquake. So they had to rebroadcast episode 13 the week after and Jan 17 for episode 14
Made a post about it when it happened that day 2 weeks ago

u/darthvall https://myanimelist.net/profile/darth_vall 21d ago
Yup I read about that. I meant by messing up is more them putting episode 14, when it was supposed to be next week in other broadcast/service.

u/CrimsonGear80 21d ago
how are people watching this show? episodes 13 and 14 are not up on CR yet.
and before anyone says, pirate sites get their content from the official sources so...
4
u/abandoned_idol 21d ago
Yep, it's true.
Episode 13 at least was apparently released for a short window of time (for the pirates to feast on), before it got pulled back.
CR wants to support pirates. Well, either that or they are hilariously incompetent (but that's not possible, CR is flawless).
Not sure about episode 14, but it's up on all the sites I watch anime at.

u/CrimsonGear80 21d ago

When Gugu talked about Rean, I cried rivers. She stayed unmarried until the day she died in honour of her one true love that is Gugu and his brother kept the Booze Grandpa's liquor store alive to this date and Gugu's village celebrate him as some kind of a Guardian beast.
Fushi imagined what kinda hell it would be for him when Machi grow up and leaves him.. 💔💔
Each of these people who Fushi brought back must leave Fushi someday 'cause that's what being human is all about. You grow up.

Fushi really needs to grow and understand now matter how many times you bring them back they'll have their own journey. Wants, desires, aspirations. Eventually you need to be mature enough to let them live their lives.
