I don’t think Kona became the tardigrade-looking Man-Eater that half-ate Haruki. Kona’s Man-Eater form that Mimihime saw a vision of looks far more like a sea slug and while it has some similarities to the tardigrade Man-Eater, it is different enough to be distinct from it. Also Kona never showed any signs of having invisibility as an ability (since the students and their Man-Eater forms generally have similar powers). Also Nata’s brain has likely been put into Sawatari/Doctor Sakota’s robot assistant that was seen in chapter 53. And Nanaki is most likely the spider-like Man-Eater due to the cover page of chapter 29 (the one featuring the spider-like Man-Eater) spelling out Nanaki’s name in katakana through the broken window frames. And the after-life cave more likely happens after a Hiruko student dies, not when they transform. As Kuku alludes to having memories of her time on the boat as a Man-Eater. And Mimihime and most likely Shiro appear in the cave after their deaths in 2039.
Hi, this is an amazing comment. Thanks so much for enlightening me on things I didn't catch. I will concede I was too quick to consider Kona to be the isopod that ate Haruki, I figured they looked similar enough and since there were still no students that had invisibility mentioned at that point, as of chapter 54, Kona was the most likely candidate. I do believe they're not the same Hiruko now that you mention it. As far as Nata's brain being placed in the robot, I did consider including that in the video but I feel like to me at least, the evidence isn't conclusive enough to do so at this point. And I didn't even catch the Nanaki thing at all!!! As far as the cave thing, that's an interesting observation, I think you're right given the evidence you provided. I guess this is what happens when I analyze a story on a time crunch, I miss a lot of important details. I will be a lot more diligent moving forward.
Tokio can distort the surveilance camera from detecting her, thus making her invisible on the screen monitor, just like how the tardigrade hiruko turns invisible🤯🤯🤯 Or was it Asura's ghost who distorted the camera? 🤯🤯🤯
@@cohandora It was most likely Mina and/or Asura. It was not Tokio turning invisible since things besides Tokio wouldn’t show up on the camera as well, it wasn’t exclusive to Tokio.
@@cohandora i thought about that as well but i don't think that's what was exclusively affecting the cameras/surveillance. I do believe that man-eater was Tokio though. The way she spread out those tentacles to grab onto the directors arms is the exact same from when she tried to eat Haruko. Also worth mentioning, she stopped trying to consume him when Kiriko begged her to stop. She let him go and also spared her life. I don't think any other man-eater would do that.
I think they’re wrong. Everything Kona draws becomes real, thats his ability. Remember when he was flashing back to when asuna was alive, Kona drew a white streak on his drawing of the kids playing, and the kids who were playing in real life got a massive cut on their leg from the drawing. I think he just drew the fish into existence.
@@kakyoin5862ah no... An explanation for that cut in the kid's leg is explained in the manga, I suggest you to read it. It didn't come out of nowhere but it isn't that big of a deal either.
Spoilers: Kona's ability allows him to subconsciously see the future. Asura taught him this, and Kona himself mentions that the "ideas" just come to his head. He is also able to sense other Hiruko, as he mentioned that he knows where Kona is when she was taken for her pregnancy.
Aw man. Mimihime was my favorite. Amazing person and a rememberable character design. What a horrible freaking future she had in store for her. And usami fought tooth and nail to keeo her alive..maybe to the point of selfishness but she could communicate so if she wanted to die i feel she would have said so. This manga hurts man.
I have a question, since I assume you're a fan... what makes this good? After I put the dots together in episode 8 and realized it was Mimihime it practically ruined the show for me. Its excruciatingly depressing to see the "Heaven" scenes since its pretty much a given they're all dead or dying in the worst ways possible. I just can't find any enjoyment in that
I just started reading the manga after watching the anime and realized that they had left a lot of small details out of the anime that could’ve shed light on the mystery more.
Well what I meant was that the first story was 10 years before Haruki and Kiriko's story so technically it's 15 years before the start of Maru and Kiruko's quest.
Tbf you just gotta piece it together there's a graph of the timeline you can look up somewhere it's pretty crazy how everything comes together to form the a whole
I always thought that Maru is actually the clone of Tokio and Kona's son and his mission is actually to deliver the poison not medicine to his "brother" and kill the superhuman/supersoldier experimental result in the hands of the government/military
I think no one knows if Maru is the real child of Tokio or not, not even that old hag. No one have access to technology for DNA scanning after the apocalypse happened and the doctor who was assigned to deliver the baby also didn't know it and just lied that he knew
@@a2falcone the clone was supposed to be given to Shino (the old academy director) and the real one was supposed to be for Tokio and Kona. The fact that the doctor was panicking because the babies got shuffled means that the clone was different than the real one.
Hi Funkers, just wanted to clear up that the first storyline happens 10 years prior to to Haruki and Kiriko's storyline not Maru and Kiruko's quest which happened 15 years after Tokio's storyline. I also missed a few important details which is why I'd encourage everyone to read the pinned comment from @TheoVorster because he clears up some of my mistakes.
Super good video taught me a lot of things I knew a lot but opened my eyes to alot more. The details these manga writers out in all these subliminal messages are nuts
Hey. Thanks for this! I just finished this anime a little bit ago and thought it was one of the most interesting and fun anime I have seen recently (and this season). Almost criminally underrated! I didn't put as much thought into theory crafting in this anime until a bit later in the anime which was my bad because once I started I just HAD to know more ASAP. Now, onto part 2 :)
love it love it love it, i am up to date and just when I thought I understood it this beautiful man gets me on my knees in shock. Keep it up, I very much enjoyed both this and yours second episode.
Shino is just the freaking worst. I love how her true self slowly reveals itself to the viewers eaders up until where you're actively wishing ill upon her. A great villain. BUT THEN you're like we'll wait...she taught Tokio v2.0 how to kill maneaters and told him about heaven. Still hate that wrinkly olbich though
Thanks for clarifying who became a Haruki so far. I was questioning that after reading the latest chapters. And only today, after watching the latest episode, did I figure out that Mimihime was the patient lover of Dr. Usami(who in turn is possibly Shiro). Also the Spider Haruki might be one of those two lesbian kids who keep making out all the time based on the story told by her baby's father on how he was in an all female camp and he impregnated a woman who was in a relationship with another woman
Glad it helped you figure out who's who! And I feel like it'll help make the anime be more exciting moving forward. Also, yes it's clear to me that the spider is either Iwa or Nanaki. Thanks for your comment!!!
at 6:20, the chief of the purification squad (bottom right panel) is most definitely school nurse aoshima aka mitsuki imanaga (revealed in chapter 47), since she is literally referred to as chief imanaga
@husniperThey were in their mid 20s (both somewhat fresh out of college, with Aoshima maybe being a little bit older as she seems to have some experience in her duties). That's 16 years before the current timeline. They are in their early to mid 40s, so...
It's definitely more than ten years. There's a chart in one of the recent chapters that gives all the dates that have been revealed so far. Maru is 15. He's the clone of Tokio's baby and the one on whose foot the doctor drew the circle. So it's been 15 years between the two timelines.
Yeah, I addressed this in the comments section, I wasn't as specific as I should have. It's a ten years difference between the Takahara Academy storyline and the beginning of Kiruko's story which is when Kiriko and Haruki were attacked by the Hiruko. Then Maru and Kiruko's story was 5 years after that.
The Hiruko who nearly killed Haruki is probably Tokio, not Kona. Also, being - along with Akira - among the eldest children birthed by Meena and bearing an ability to see how the transformation into Hiruko goes, I suspect that Kona plays a pivotal role on the whole thing. We'll see.
@@osamabinmemin5518 man, actually reading the manga feels like the story is about to end everything connects literally everything, the only thing left is finding Tokio, Kano, and Yamato
@osamabinmemin5518 that wasn't disappearing power. The AI was deliberately messing with the cameras. If it was just Tokio's power, the camera would've picked up the machine she was standing on, Kuku holding the vent open, and Kona in his bed when she went to visit. Her power was revealed at the end of season one when she started hardening herself when thr Director tried to grab her baby. So we still don't know who the Monster that ate Haruki is.
It's a very confusing manga, so I recommend reading it twice to get all of the hidden details. As far as memories goes, I hope you didn't go through some trauma reading this! Anyway, thanks for your comment!!!
I just speed read the manga because I’m so curious of the plot.. this video does help me understand what the heck is going on, including who is who.. and OMG this manga is verryyy dark, sad and ‘disturbing’. But one thing that I don’t understand is when Kona said ‘the one who killed Asura is coming to get Tokio next’. Is it someone in the academy or…?? And then does Tokio still alive?
The Anime Adaptation seems to have Cut-Out a lot of Story from the Manga. I've watched the Anime currently at Episode 7 & there's a lot of stuff Missing from the Manga & the Anime is Censored for Certain Scenes.
Love this video it's extremely informative for a casual anime watcher. I had no idea there was a time gap between the two storylines and wasn't able to catch that from the episodes. Just one point, the way you spell Hiruko sounded a bit like Haruko in Japanese and I got confused at some parts :( Looking forward to the second part!
Hey, thanks so much!!! I'm glad it helped you make sense of the storylines a little better! And I apologize about my pronunciations of Japanese words, since I don't watch the dubs I never know how the Japanese words are typically pronounced in English, so I end up winging it lol.
OMG, you mean all those heaven kids are the man eaters that Maru and kiriko fought, 😮😮😮 OMG how could this have happen, wait a minute tokio born child, is it possible that 😨😨😨
This was a great anime. SO CONFUSING. When do we learn the events of the school are 10 years before the other events? I sort of guessed that was the case, but its said in the anime?? when?!
The mother of the freezing baby is either the lesbian couple Iwa and Nanaki, because if both the couple stayed in the all female walls and chose to have a baby with one of the prisoners. Iwas and Nanaki had the bright idea of running away after giving birth to her son and they took the father with them but the women were able to catch up to Iwa and Nanaki, or that if nanaki since she just gave birth she was probably weak and that her falling down might've implicated that Iwa must've came to her aide and I think Iwa was the one holding the baby. Because there was also a commotion in the facility, Juuichi the father of the baby Didn't notice that Iwa and Nanaki fell behind and before the doors have close he was able to escape and only kater he realized that the girls weren't able to catch up. The lesbian couple were executed by the women and the bodies were burned and hanged. I think burning the bodies could help preventing the hiruko core to transform. As for the ice spider, Nanaki must've set an intention to protect her son in case of her death Thats why after they died the monster came to be from her son's powers and murdered and possibly drove the women away. Since the ice spider stayed in the facility for a very long time despite not having a core. It's probably Nanaki protecting her son even after death.
I think this theory holds a lot of water! Makes sense to me!!! Although I'm skeptical if burning the bodies is an effective method. We'd first have to see what happens to Tarao's core. Regardless very well put. Thanks for your comment!
Their bodies weren't burned, just mutilated and hanged. She turned while up on the fence, hence it being collapsed. She then immediately attacked the camp.
@@TRak598 that's true, it doesn't destroy the core, but it does prevent them from turning into full fledged Hiruko. His core was recovered but nothing else resulted from it.
Thanks for your question. I may make a video on it in the future since all we know now is that Robin is conducting experiments on Hiruko and humans but we don't really know his ultimate goals.
@@mrpizzaroll6571 Everytime Ohma is with Michika and there's no one around, Ohma doesn't wear her sunglasses. Like the scene when some random ruffians tried to kidnap Ohma (ch.48),, and when they dump Kuku into the ocean (ch.49).
Wait when do we learn that those stories happen in different timelines? I thought heaven is just an isolated facility and everything outside is fucked, that's what the director said, that the outside is hell where monsters roam. I guess humanity could be substituted for monsters but the actual literal explanation fits like a glove. So again, when do we learn that those storylines are 10 years apart?
If you read the manga they provide a timeline. But it's also alluded to in many ways. During the cart races you can see written on the promo material that the year is 2034. Then when pick up day comes around in Tokio's timeline, they state that the year was 2024. Hope this helps!
Great explanation man.. My mind was f@cked up after watching this show.. But just one question that how the childrens in the academy bacame man eaters? Like were all the children's kind of experimented.
My theory: The hiruko that attacked and killed haruki and kiriko is tokio. Also since all human-hiruko hybrids turn into hiruko, maru will turn into one too 😭. And then later kiruko will kill him.
At the end of the anime when I saw that the bunny girl gave the button to the white haired dude I was like yo that’s the dude that commits suicide in the roof cause he is also holding the button then that made me realize that the main story with two kids is in the future and everything else is in the past
Finally someone else thinks that Taka is the bird Hiruko, But my issue with that is that cant shake off what Usami said that when they (die from the disease) they become a Hiruko. So if they also become a hiruko from dieing normally, wouldnt that mean Usami and Hoshio would have turned after death. But the only confirmation we have with the diseases being the kulprit for the transformation is Kuku, we cant use Tarao cuz he was cremated, Mikura dies and we never hear of hear again nor what her ability was. We dont know how Ohama, Mako and Anzu died so its safe to say it was the (disease) BUT Taka was killed by Michika and that bird and his ability is to similar to be a coincidence. (this is just a theory = But what if Iwa or/and Nanaki (the 2 girls that are always kissing) is the spider hiruko since you know, (that arc hit kinda crazy) but mainly cuz they were killed which would also solidify the point of being killed normally can trigger the transformation within a month time. So Asura, Kona, Miina and the Director knew about the astroid I wanna tear down all my theories but then ill get more confused than i already am.
Hoshio won't become a hiruko because her core is already destroyed. But we can't be sure about Usami. If what usami said is the actual truth then my head canon is taka had the disease but just in an early stage ( maybe it played a role in his loss)But if Usami was wrong than it will be extremely tragic as he would become a monster after working all his life to not let his love become one. And i hope with all my heart that's not the case. But it might just be hopeful thinking.
Actually, upon further thought there's evidence that suggests ordinary death wont turn them into hiruko. Since the super soldiers that were used to prevent the asteroid were hiruko too, the one that was killed by its own kind for defecting to go see Tokio did not turn to anything to our knowledge. Another piece of evidence is that Taka most likely had the disease because otherwise he wouldn't have abandoned Totori to fight Takezuka unless he thought he was going to die anyway. But still who knows.
@@sanjidatasnim7249 Yeah I agree that would be pretty tragic. Also, maybe Taka's disease was the reason he fought Takezuka in the first place, thinking he didn't have much time left anyway. But the manga is still ongoing so I'm sure we'll find out the truth.
They all have the disease; I look at it as dormant vs active. If they die while the disease is still dormant, they die as humans. If they die after the disease has activated, they turn. Shiro's wasn't active so he died human. Not sure if there's some factor(s) that play a part in when the disease activates in each kid but it happens early with some of the kids while others make it well into adulthood without it activating.
Which chapter should I read before watching the video and not get anything spoiled? I'm currently at volume 7 waiting for 8 to come out in my country in June...
I hope tokio survives, i mean mimihime perception one time tokio still looks like a human although she looks like her "hiruko state" the hardened thingy (i dont know how to say it)
I hope so too. Also, when Mimihime saw her in that state it was most likely referencing the time when Tokio transformed when she was holding her son and ended up trapping director Shino's arms. So it might be a good sign she's still alive.
I'm wondering if she might turn out to be the one last seen around the airport. The way it deflected the beam completely was a similar reflex to how she hardened to repel the Director.
My theory is that the spider is the two girls who where kissing in the school since 11 meet two females that where too close and after the women death the spider appeared
Wait they were living Present and the future at the same time how, and I really wanted to know more about Mimihime and Shiro's love story I wished season 2 comes fast
I think the spider is the two girl that tokio saw kissing.. There are the only girls that hv relationship and with the baby being a hiruko mean that 1 of them use the #11 sperm to bear a baby for them both..
I don’t think Kona became the tardigrade-looking Man-Eater that half-ate Haruki. Kona’s Man-Eater form that Mimihime saw a vision of looks far more like a sea slug and while it has some similarities to the tardigrade Man-Eater, it is different enough to be distinct from it. Also Kona never showed any signs of having invisibility as an ability (since the students and their Man-Eater forms generally have similar powers).

Her power was revealed at the end of season one when she started hardening herself when thr Director tried to grab her baby. So we still don't know who the Monster that ate Haruki is.
I just read the manga and this helped me realize so much. Thank you!
I'm glad it helped!!!
Hi! Where did you find the mangas? I only see 5 mangas out on Amazon 🥲
I had absolutely no idea all the students became every hiruko that we'd seen before. That was really well hidden
I know it when they all said they feels being called by them first name hiruko
The way I missed so much! This anime is SO good
Bro great explanation, I just finished watching it like literally and came for answer's, thanks. The story is great and sad gonna pick up the manga
Do you know from which chapter to read?? If you know please let me know
@@Pathetic-Ali chapter 35 or 36. It’s really good
@nope7016 the anime ended at 38 so you can start at 39 however, reread 38 because a few things aren't in the anime, which Is important, I think
@@sanjemyles3944 thank you 🙏
@@Pathetic-Ali No problem fam
When I finish read this manga, it give me some confusion but at same time give same kind of weird memories
It's a very confusing manga, so I recommend reading it twice to get all of the hidden details. As far as memories goes, I hope you didn't go through some trauma reading this! Anyway, thanks for your comment!!!
I just speed read the manga because I’m so curious of the plot.. this video does help me understand what the heck is going on, including who is who.. and OMG this manga is verryyy dark, sad and ‘disturbing’.
But one thing that I don’t understand is when Kona said ‘the one who killed Asura is coming to get Tokio next’. Is it someone in the academy or…?? And then does Tokio still alive?
Is the manga finished
@@anis-deuling its still ongoing
The Anime Adaptation seems to have Cut-Out a lot of Story from the Manga. I've watched the Anime currently at Episode 7 & there's a lot of stuff Missing from the Manga & the Anime is Censored for Certain Scenes.
Yeah, that's why the manga is always the preferable way to consume a story, but hey the anime's fun too, perhaps not as in depth but still fun!
i felt like the anime so far had way more content that the manga tbh
@@shinypaintf588 Hmmm I'd say information -wise it's roughly about the same. Obviously the anime has a little more dialogue tho!
@@tonyfunk yeah the characters feel more fully realized to me because of that extra dialoge, the manga almost feels like a tldr of the anime
@@shinypaintf588 Yeah, I get that XD
This is truly my fave apocalyptic story man
I didn’t register the timeline difference at all until the very last scene, and then the floodgates opened
Man this is anime is nuts , and still so much things to wrap around my head but I'm down for it
well shit, I thought this was explaining the anime not the manga. I am now officially spoiled.
Dang, I really should put big ass spoiler warnings eh? I hope it didn't ruin it for ya.
Love this video it's extremely informative for a casual anime watcher. I had no idea there was a time gap between the two storylines and wasn't able to catch that from the episodes. Just one point, the way you spell Hiruko sounded a bit like Haruko in Japanese and I got confused at some parts :(
Looking forward to the second part!
Hey, thanks so much!!! I'm glad it helped you make sense of the storylines a little better! And I apologize about my pronunciations of Japanese words, since I don't watch the dubs I never know how the Japanese words are typically pronounced in English, so I end up winging it lol.
Oh wow didn’t know that this is really really deep lol I would have never in a million years knew. None of this 😅
Never picked up on the two seperate time stories
Always thought that Maru would eventually meet the other children by the end of the season
Keep it going bro.... I really like your vibe in the storytelling..
Thanks man, I really appreciate it!!!
OMG, you mean all those heaven kids are the man eaters that Maru and kiriko fought, 😮😮😮 OMG how could this have happen, wait a minute tokio born child, is it possible that 😨😨😨
Yeah, pretty unfortunate eh? We'll have to see about Tokio's child though.
@@tonyfunkI think we all know tokio born child are Maru and his sibling
7:25 can i have that image ? I wanna see
You bet!

This is an amazing well written anime❤❤❤❤
Thanks for explaining
This was a great anime. SO CONFUSING. When do we learn the events of the school are 10 years before the other events? I sort of guessed that was the case, but its said in the anime?? when?!
Just letting you all know that “Maru” is “circle” in Japanese! (Circle under one of the baby’s foot)(I’m not sure if that’s covered in Manga)
I didn't expect this to go spoiler territory and thought that it would be anime only
This video helped me to know wtf is really going on. Lmao. I'm so confused and hooked to know more about the story.
Hi! I'm glad I was able to help in understanding this sick anime/manga! Hope it makes it more enjoyable moving forward!
The mother of the freezing baby is either the lesbian couple Iwa and Nanaki, because if both the couple stayed in the all female walls and chose to have a baby with one of the prisoners.
Iwas and Nanaki had the bright idea of running away after giving birth to her son and they took the father with them but the women were able to catch up to Iwa and Nanaki, or that if nanaki since she just gave birth she was probably weak and that her falling down might've implicated that Iwa must've came to her aide and I think Iwa was the one holding the baby. Because there was also a commotion in the facility, Juuichi the father of the baby Didn't notice that Iwa and Nanaki fell behind and before the doors have close he was able to escape and only kater he realized that the girls weren't able to catch up.
The lesbian couple were executed by the women and the bodies were burned and hanged.
I think burning the bodies could help preventing the hiruko core to transform.
As for the ice spider, Nanaki must've set an intention to protect her son in case of her death
Thats why after they died the monster came to be from her son's powers and murdered and possibly drove the women away. Since the ice spider stayed in the facility for a very long time despite not having a core.
It's probably Nanaki protecting her son even after death.
I think this theory holds a lot of water! Makes sense to me!!! Although I'm skeptical if burning the bodies is an effective method. We'd first have to see what happens to Tarao's core. Regardless very well put. Thanks for your comment!
Their bodies weren't burned, just mutilated and hanged. She turned while up on the fence, hence it being collapsed. She then immediately attacked the camp.
@@Hawk7886 the background details in this series is amazing.
Burning Hiruko humans bodies cannot prevent the core from growing. This much is proven with Tarao.
@@TRak598 that's true, it doesn't destroy the core, but it does prevent them from turning into full fledged Hiruko. His core was recovered but nothing else resulted from it.
thanks for not clearing up that this was not an anime-only analysis
Yo can u review ch 34? I need someone to explain y the alien was hooked up to the woman?
Thanks for your question. I may make a video on it in the future since all we know now is that Robin is conducting experiments on Hiruko and humans but we don't really know his ultimate goals.
Excellent vid
This is a very good anime series
One thing I notice about Michika and Ohma is that Ohma doesn’t have to wear her sunglasses when she’s with Michika, implying that Michika has no fear.
What chapter??
@@mrpizzaroll6571 Everytime Ohma is with Michika and there's no one around, Ohma doesn't wear her sunglasses. Like the scene when some random ruffians tried to kidnap Ohma (ch.48),, and when they dump Kuku into the ocean (ch.49).
Notice the fish picture at 1:15 ? That's one of man-eater who got killed by Maru, right?
Maru is one of the twin! I just realized now! Hence the doppelganger! omg
Wait when do we learn that those stories happen in different timelines? I thought heaven is just an isolated facility and everything outside is fucked, that's what the director said, that the outside is hell where monsters roam. I guess humanity could be substituted for monsters but the actual literal explanation fits like a glove.
So again, when do we learn that those storylines are 10 years apart?
If you read the manga they provide a timeline. But it's also alluded to in many ways.
During the cart races you can see written on the promo material that the year is 2034. Then when pick up day comes around in Tokio's timeline, they state that the year was 2024.
Hope this helps!
@@tonyfunk ok I guess anime only learns that later on. Thanks for responding.
@@HalIOfFamer Of course!!!!
A tribute to the old world history before 1800 and the great reset such a clever anime
I came here looking for an analisys of season 1 of the anime and realized half way that I was being spoiled... T.T
Great explanation man.. My mind was f@cked up after watching this show.. But just one question that how the childrens in the academy bacame man eaters? Like were all the children's kind of experimented.
My theory:
The hiruko that attacked and killed haruki and kiriko is tokio.
Also since all human-hiruko hybrids turn into hiruko, maru will turn into one too 😭. And then later kiruko will kill him.
You are awesome ❤
Wooooh the academy scenes are in the past?!
At the end of the anime when I saw that the bunny girl gave the button to the white haired dude I was like yo that’s the dude that commits suicide in the roof cause he is also holding the button then that made me realize that the main story with two kids is in the future and everything else is in the past
1.What about kona & tokio?
2.Is maru son of kona & tokio?
3. Was tokio a girl?
Pls clear🙏
yes its mentioned in the manga and tokio is female.
Finally someone else thinks that Taka is the bird Hiruko, But my issue with that is that cant shake off what Usami said that when they (die from the disease) they become a Hiruko.
So if they also become a hiruko from dieing normally, wouldnt that mean Usami and Hoshio would have turned after death. But the only confirmation we have with the diseases being the kulprit for the transformation is Kuku, we cant use Tarao cuz he was cremated, Mikura dies and we never hear of hear again nor what her ability was.
We dont know how Ohama, Mako and Anzu died so its safe to say it was the (disease) BUT Taka was killed by Michika and that bird and his ability is to similar to be a coincidence. (this is just a theory = But what if Iwa or/and Nanaki (the 2 girls that are always kissing) is the spider hiruko since you know, (that arc hit kinda crazy) but mainly cuz they were killed which would also solidify the point of being killed normally can trigger the transformation within a month time.
So Asura, Kona, Miina and the Director knew about the astroid
I wanna tear down all my theories but then ill get more confused than i already am.
Hoshio won't become a hiruko because her core is already destroyed. But we can't be sure about Usami. If what usami said is the actual truth then my head canon is taka had the disease but just in an early stage ( maybe it played a role in his loss)But if Usami was wrong than it will be extremely tragic as he would become a monster after working all his life to not let his love become one. And i hope with all my heart that's not the case. But it might just be hopeful thinking.
Guess you can say taka is the biggest bird🎶
Actually, upon further thought there's evidence that suggests ordinary death wont turn them into hiruko. Since the super soldiers that were used to prevent the asteroid were hiruko too, the one that was killed by its own kind for defecting to go see Tokio did not turn to anything to our knowledge. Another piece of evidence is that Taka most likely had the disease because otherwise he wouldn't have abandoned Totori to fight Takezuka unless he thought he was going to die anyway. But still who knows.
@@sanjidatasnim7249 Yeah I agree that would be pretty tragic. Also, maybe Taka's disease was the reason he fought Takezuka in the first place, thinking he didn't have much time left anyway. But the manga is still ongoing so I'm sure we'll find out the truth.
@@samuraitadpole5459 Lmaooo
Can someone plz explain to me who excatly is mikora like is he the old lady and how so
If Shiro is indeed the doctor then wouldn't he become a monster when he died? Or do you transform only when you have the disease?
They all have the disease; I look at it as dormant vs active. If they die while the disease is still dormant, they die as humans. If they die after the disease has activated, they turn. Shiro's wasn't active so he died human. Not sure if there's some factor(s) that play a part in when the disease activates in each kid but it happens early with some of the kids while others make it well into adulthood without it activating.
Good video.
I think mimihime and shiro was the deseased woman and the one-eyed doctor from ep 8
I was really watching this anime thinking tokio and maru were siblings and they would meet and robin would be better omg😭
Which chapter should I read before watching the video and not get anything spoiled? I'm currently at volume 7 waiting for 8 to come out in my country in June...
Thanks for asking! Chapter 54 is the last chapter used to make this video!
@@tonyfunk thanks for your answer
@@Lanodd You bet!!!
Here after the last 2 episodes of the anime were a total trainwreck
I hope tokio survives, i mean mimihime perception one time tokio still looks like a human although she looks like her "hiruko state" the hardened thingy (i dont know how to say it)
I hope so too. Also, when Mimihime saw her in that state it was most likely referencing the time when Tokio transformed when she was holding her son and ended up trapping director Shino's arms. So it might be a good sign she's still alive.
I'm wondering if she might turn out to be the one last seen around the airport. The way it deflected the beam completely was a similar reflex to how she hardened to repel the Director.
@@Hawk7886 That one was Mako. No Tokio Hiruko so far..
I would assume, that the spider was mother of that child, since those people turn into maneaters after they die.
Now i am waiting for second season😆
i have only watched the anime and i think there is so much left unexplained or did i just miss a lot of clues?
I still couldn't figure out who is who cause you went too fast for me to make the connections. I caught a little of it
one of the lesbian couples that kiss a lot at the academy is the spider monster that gave birth to the freezing kid
Bro I had no idea that the first story line took place 10 years before idk how I missed that!!!
The entire time I was waiting for these characters to meet so Mary and Kiruko can save them
hello is this video safe to consume after episode 11? (cause im guessing that 1 month ago it isnt). ill be back and watch this after a response
Hi! The answer is no because this video uses the manga for clues which is still ahead of episode 11. Thanks for asking!!!
@@tonyfunk ight ill be back after the season is over.
@@orabijuu8550the anime wont cover the manga up to this point without a season 2, so probably read the manga too before coming back
Good job lad! You spoiled the anime. Though i would have probably dopped it after a couple of S2 episodes anyway.
does this video contain spoiler after season 1? cuz i wanna watch it but don't wanna be spoiled by major plot or anything
My theory is that the spider is the two girls who where kissing in the school since 11 meet two females that where too close and after the women death the spider appeared
Right! It's definitely one of them!!!
Wait they were living Present and the future at the same time how, and I really wanted to know more about Mimihime and Shiro's love story I wished season 2 comes fast
they ded tho
Then why Dr.Usami didnt turn into a haruka after dying?
I think the spider is the two girl that tokio saw kissing..
There are the only girls that hv relationship and with the baby being a hiruko mean that 1 of them use the #11 sperm to bear a baby for them both..
