    I love how the show tells us that change doesn’t just happen with one major event(like in most anime). It’s a gradual proces that happens over time. And by the time we realized how much Phos actually changed and how all the small events in the story contributed to that change, it’s already too late.

    A little prompt from Cinnabar in the end was enough for Phos to remember his promise. Despite losing a third of his body some memories are too deeply rooted in him, but the fact that he couldn't possibly remember the "fun" word and even dismissed it, really broke my heart.

    Its pretty amazing how well you summed this up. Especially since most of these things remain so in the manga. The world doesn't get any darker by Phos's extreme actions, in fact you could argue that 90% of the characters are better off than where they started at the beginning. The world only seems to get darker because you begin to see everything from Phos's POV, which as of late has become a dark and broken one.

    This is probably the best video on Houseki no kuni I’ve seen so far.
    A few things-
    Ventricosus’ name is pronounced Ventri-Ko-Suss, closer to the last way you said it.
    The gems are actually closer to male, since they often use masculine forms of ‘I’(Boku/Ore), and call each other he(Kare) and brother(Nii-san/Otouto/Aniki).
    The series does get a *little* darker in the manga, though nothing too overbearing. I hope you cover that in a future video someday, it’s really something to behold!

    well 2 years later, the manga certainly has gotten a lot darker, but at the same time, the tone didn't change all of a sudden. everything happened for a reason, and the tone changes with phos as you see her perspective slowly change with each failure and misunderstanding. at the "darkest" moments, it actually feels like everyone deserved everything that was going to happen, except, of course, phos, who did nothing wrong to justify the treatment she got from everything and everyone in the world.

      Yep, it's not clickbait if DIO was in it all along. Really I just put that in the title as a joke. I will never see the phrase "the world" in the same way now thanks to JoJo, and I imagine it's the same for like, 90% of the other folks on this planet. Well, the ones who watch anime at least.

    One thing I noticed that isn’t really discussed is the parallels between Antarc and Cinnabar. Both play defining roles in Phos’s life as instigators of change, they are both low hardness Gems, even lower than Phos and yet they both display great power and potential but because of their “disabilities” are consigned to a rather lonesome existence. Because Cinnabar releases a poisonous alloy, she isolates herself in the darkness, and because of Antarc’s physical structure means she can only exist during winter when everyone else usually hibernates. Because of this they both acquired some anti social qualities. They both seem to be aware of Sensei’s “relationship” with the Lunarians but still chose to treat him with love and respect which sets them apart from Phos.

    It has been a long time coming wanting to watch this video. Glad it turned out fantastic. Honestly I didn't read Phos quite like that in my first watch of the show. I do see them struggling between 'wanting to change but not really', sub-conscious vs conscious sort of deal, but never fixate on both want and don't want on each conscious. Your dive gets me thinking about it again, and every examples and 'proves' you pull chronologically in the story really reinforces your read really well.
    Phos might be more relatable than I initial thought they were.

    Maybe I should change myself, though I am also scared of change. Truly a tough decision, but maybe, just maybe I could still be myself even if I change.

    being honest i relate to Phos a lot; i didn't lose any person per say, but i do relate to a lot of their issues; not just their lack of responsibility at first or not know how they got here, but also the whole.. self blame, feeling responsible for everything and basically everything else; i am up to date on the manga and somehow Phos is even more relatable as the series goes on, to the point it's both scary and saddening; on the bright side however, the most unstable point they currently have in the manga only applies to a few years ago, since then i finally managed to find some stable ground, to better myself, gain stronger conviction and sort-of find a place to some extent where i belong while having people that care for me, but i still retain semblances of all the issues i had in the past, i sometimes still feel guilty for everything or like nothing i ever do is ever good enough no matter how i try
