Valentine's day!

Today was valentine's day and you just got ready and walked out to see matakara waiting for you like a puppy with the way he perked seeing you.

" good morning, Y/n-chan!"

" good morning, matakara."

You give him a smile before you reached into the bag you were carrying and hand him chocolates you know are his favorite when you both were kids.

" you remembered my favorite."

" of course."

You and matakara walked to school together, he offered you a piece of the chocolate.

You walked onto school grounds.

" y/n-teen!"

Marito yelled as he ran towards you, you knew that you couldn't out run him so you just accepted fate and braced.

Matakara tried to stop him and protect you from the siguma squad leader but failed.

Marito picked you up and you grabbed onto his shoulder while holding onto the bag in the other hand as he spins excited.

" y/n-teen! Good morning, happy valentine's day."

" yah, happy valentine's day."

You say when he stopped, you looked around seeing that outa wasn't with him.

" where's outa?"

" oh, he's off doing something."

" okay."

Marito looked at you bating his eyelashes at you expectingly waiting.

" put me down and I'll give it to you."

Marito put you down smiling as you reached into your bag putting the box of chocolate filled cookies with animals on them in marito's hand.

" thank you, y/n-teen!"

Marito said before he kissed the side of your head.

You walked into the school and noticed komao looking out the window for you.

You walked into the classroom and komao quickly got up to greet you hugging you.

" good morning."

" Haha, good morning."

You and komao walked to your seats next to zabu.

" happy valentine's day, I said it first so I get my chocolate first."

Komao said before he looked at zabu with a small smirk, zabu hit komao with his elbow but komao had a smaller smirk.

You laughed at them messing around before you reached into the bag pulling out container with a slice of cookie cake inside.

" yay! Thank you, y/n-san."

Komao looked at it as if think he should wait to eat it before he opened it and took a bite.

You smile and reach back into the bag before giving zabu a chocolate bar and a few smaller ones.

" tisk, thanks."

Zabu took it and was hiding his excitement from getting chocolate.

Soon the bell rings for lunch, you walked around the school looking for someone who you have chocolate for.

You walk into the gym looking for outa to give him the chocolate you have for him.

Some siguma members looked at you before they started giving you a hard time.

" what's going on over here?"

Outa had walked over and the siguma members quickly left you alone.

" happy valentine's day, outa."

You said as you gave him mochi chocolate, he took it with a soft smile before he put his hand on your head.

" thank you."

You left the gym and ran into hague and jabashiri eating at a table by the vending machines.

You sit down at the table with them putting the bag next to you.

" hey, good afternoon."

" oh. Hello, y/n-san."

" tisk."

You reach into the bag and give Hague a white chocolate bar, Hague blushed gently take the bar.

Jabashiri was looking at you intently and looked away when you looked at him.

You laughed at him before you put 2 dark chocolate bar in front of him.

" there, you were upset yesterday about the vending machine not having it."

Hague lightly kicked jabashiri's leg before jabashiri said.

" thanks."

The bell rang and you left going to class, you sat next to arajin.

" do you know if mahoro brought any chocolate for anyone?"

" no, I don't think she did."

" oh here."

You reached into your bag and gave him 2 a chocolate bar and shrine offering like chocolate.

" what?"

Arajin flipped over the shrine chocolate and on the back was a small doodle of a small senya.

Soon the last bell rings and you walk off school grounds and to minato kai's base.

You knocked on the door where ken-san was before you slid open the paper door.

Ken-san looked over and sat down, you walked in and sat down as well.

' this is a bit awkward, I was hopeing to leave the chocolate and go.'

You snap out of your thoughts when ken-san gestures for the 2 guys to leave the room.

You reach into your bag and pull out a small box of different chocolates before you hand it to him.

" I didn't know which kind you liked so I got a box of different chocolates."

You said before you jump startled by ken-san bowing, you quickly also bowed.

You could hear the murmurs and whispers of the guys eavesdropping and peeping in through a small crack in the door.

You leave and walk home as the sun is setting, you looked at the sun set and pulled out your phone to take a picture but you couldn't find the perfect angle.

You feel someone's behind you before 2 gloved hands gently take your phone from your hands and held it a bit above your head taking the photo.

" good afternoon, happy valentine's day."

" good afternoon."

You turned to him and tried to take your phone back but he had a tight grip on it.

You look at him pulling on your phone but he won't let go, shindo was giving you a closed eyed smile wanting something.

You reach into your bag and grabbed the last two 2, a chocolate bar and a shrine chocolate bar.

You put the chocolate in his other hand and he let go of your phone.

" thank you."

' bro what the fuck.'

You walked into your house and upstairs onto your bed.

A Rundown of Henry Kissinger's Life

“Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević. While Henry continues to nibble nori rolls and remaki at A-list parties, Cambodia, the neutral nation he secretly and illegally bombed, invaded, undermined, and then threw to the dogs, is still trying to raise itself up on its one remaining leg.”

--Anthony Bourdain (2018)

It's difficult to be precise, but all told Henry Kissinger killed hundreds of thousands of civilians in pursuit of American business interests.

EARLY LIFE

Henry Kissinger was born in 1923 as Heinz Kissinger in Fürth, Bavaria, Germany, to a German-Jewish family. Throughout his youth, he was relentlessly and violently harassed and discriminated against by members of the Hitler Youth and authorities. At the age of 15, Kissinger and his family fled Nazi Germany, settling in New York City. He finished high school at George Washington High School in NYC and began studying accounting at the City College of New York, but his undergraduate studies were interrupted in 1943 when he was drafted into the US army.

In the army, fluent German speakers were in short supply, so Kissinger was quickly assigned to military intelligence. During the American invasion of Germany, he worked to set up civilian administration of conquered cities and tracked down Gestapo officers as a Special Agent of the Counter Intelligence Corps. He received the Bronze Star Medal

After his time in the army, Kissinger returned to his studies. He graduated summa cum laude in political science from Harvard College, as well as his Masters and PhD. He taught at Harvard, and his studies focused on international 'legitimacy', when an international order is widely accepted by international leaders, without regard to public opinion or morality.

POLITICS

Beginning in the 1950s, Kissinger began to be more active on the political stage. He was a consultant for the National Security Council and a study director for the Council of Foreign Relations. He notably was against Eisenhower's massive retaliation nuclear doctrine, where the United States would respond to a nuclear attack with a much, much greater nuclear attack. Instead, Kissinger advocated the use of tactical nuclear weapons on a regular basis in more wars.

In the 1960s, Kissinger began working with Republicans running for office as an advisor in foreign affairs. He contributed to the Nixon campaign, and when Nixon took office in 1969, Kissinger was appointed as National Security Advisor, and later Secretary of State. As a diplomat, Kissinger heavily used Realpolitik, the in-fashion Cold War approach focusing on pragmatism and realistic outcomes rather than ideological or moral purity. In international politics, it largely has to do with obtaining and maintaining power on the world stage.

Kissinger focused on relaxing US tensions with the USSR and China, leading an American foreign policy that supported Taiwan on the face but in the shadows removed all support for Taiwan and essentially waited for it to fall apart.

In 1974, he directed the National Security Study Memorandum 200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests (NSSM200), sometimes called the "Kissinger Report" the official United States policy for many years, though it remained classified until the 1990s. The Kissinger Report advocated for population control in undeveloped nations to ensure easy resource extraction and protect American business interests abroad. Projects were designed to reduce fertility while keeping up the appearance of improving quality of life--the plan specifically attempted to avoid an appearance of "economic or racial imperialism". Birth rate was particularly noted due to concerns about an adequate global food supply and because young people more readily fight back against corruption and imperialism. The Report also brought up increasing abortion rates as a method of obtaining this goal.

In 1975, policies based on the Report went into affect. The National Security Council would recommend withholding food and using military force to prevent population growth, prioritizing aid for small families, and even paying people to get sterilized. Thirteen countries were named as particularly problematic to US interests. Of note, Nigeria lost development and the United States took control of Nigerian resources, and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) was responsible for some of the 300,000 forced sterilizations in Peru--largely impoverished or indigenous women--during the Fujimori administration. The Fujimori government has been accused of crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court for these abuses, and today the Peruvian economy suffers due to the low population resulting from these sterilizations.

ACTIONS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA

The Vietnam War had started back in 1955. Kissinger had originally supported it, but as time dragged on began to view it as harming American prestige. Kissinger leaked information about peace talks to get into power at Nixon's side, and then failed to end the war in 1972, leading to the Christmas bombings. A very similar agreement was signed the next month, leading to a ceasefire (that would collapse) and the withdrawal of American troops--bitterly seen as a betrayal by South Vietnam. When Kissinger and Vietnamese diplomat Lê Đức Thọ were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for this, Thọ declined to accept it and two members of the Nobel Committee left it in protest.

It was in the middle of the Vietnam War, and during the Cambodian Civil War, that Operation Menu and Operational Freedom Deal went into play. From March 1969 to May 1970, the United States Strategic Air Command carried out a series of first tactical and then carpet bombings in eastern Cambodia. Then, from May 1970 to August 1973, the United States provided close air support and widespread bombing. Part of a 'secret' war to support the Kingdom of Cambodia/Khmer Republic against communist rebels, it ultimately failed and the communists would take power in 1975.

In the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, Nixon and Kissinger supported the Pakistani president Yahya Khan. It was in this that the strongest dissent in the history of the U.S. Foreign Service, the Blood Telegram (named after sender Archer Blood), was sent. It reports the US was about to lose, describes systemic abuses, and uses the word 'genocide' to describe the actions by US-supported Pakistan. It said the US government was morally bankrupt. Blood was recalled early from Bangladesh, and US interests were lost when Bangladeshi Independence was secured within the year.

MIDDLE EASTERN POLICY

Kissinger was originally excluded from any policy-making on Israel, as part of Nixon's orders to exclude all Jewish-Americans from such work. Still, in 1973, when Kissinger became Secretary of State, he was included in all US Middle Eastern policy. This means he was largely responsible for the handling of the Yom Kippur War--this handling included not noticing precipitating factors leading up to it (he was so engrossed in Paris peace talks he didn't notice the Egyptian President Sadat ready to move on Sinai), delaying telling Nixon about and stalled negotiating a ceasefire, hoping Israel would push across and fully obtain the Suez Canal.

Kissinger's diplomacy included giving equipment to Israel, but not as much as he'd promised, and selling weapons to Saudi Arabia at the same time, in exchange for access to Saudi Arabian oil. By largely handling to event and not involving France or the United Kingdom, and by minimizing the power of the Soviet Union, Kissinger took large steps in giving US power over much of the Middle East.

It should be noted that this was done purely to protect US interests rather than any form of Jewish security. When questioned about the persecution of Soviet Jews at the same time, Kissinger said

"The emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union is not an objective of American foreign policy, and if they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern. Maybe a humanitarian concern."

-Henry Kissinger (1973)

Also in the region., Kissinger supported Iran against Iraq.

TURKISH INVASION OF CYPRUS

In 1974, the Greek military regime and Turkiye invaded the island of Cyprus. The military regime had been supported by Kissinger, and anti-Kissinger sentiment was strong among young people. Cyprus is now an independent island country, though its northeast portion is de facto separate, making up the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Kissinger considers his own handling of the Cyprus Issue unfavorably.

LATIN AMERICA

With Kissinger's influence, the United States maintained relations with non-left-wing governments regardless of commitment to democracy. It was with Kissinger's input that the CIA encouraged a military coup against Chilean president-elect Salvador Allende due to his socialist ideals.

Operation Condor, a US-backed program of political repression by right-wing dictatorships of southern South America, was also Kissinger's work. It included assassinations, the Dirty War in Argentina, and supporting Brazil's nuclear weapons program because it would benefit the U.S. private nuclear industry.

SOME OTHER STUFF

Kissinger's policy on post-WWII decolonization was mixed, based on what would benefit the U.S. He helped transition Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) away from White minority rule, expressed moderate support for the Portuguese Colonial Empire, and helped Indonesia occupy East Timor.

After Watergate forced Nixon to resign, Kissinger stayed on under President Ford but left office when Democrat Jimmy Carter came into power. He was offered an endowed chair at Columbia University, which was canceled due to student opposition, but was appointed to Georgetown University instead. He ran a consulting firm, supported the Chinese government in the Tiananmen Square massacre, and served on the 2000 Commission of the International Olympic Committee. He was supposed to help President Bush respond to the 9/11 attacks but stepped down because he refused to reveal if he had a business conflict of interest.

In 2010, he took a strong stance urging world governments to destroy all nuclear weapons. In the 2014 Ukrainian crisis, he said that Crimea should remain under Ukrainian sovereignty, but in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine said that Crimea and Donbas should be given to Russia.

Kissinger was a board member of Theranos, Elizabeth Holmes' biotech scam.

In response to the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, and seeing pro-Palestinian protestors in Germany, Kissinger called Muslim immigration into Germany "a grave mistake".

DEATH

Kissinger died peacefully in his home in Connecticut on November 29th, 2023,

Israeli soldiers physiologically tortured a 6 year old girl for days. They killed her family in front of her, and then left her trapped in a car with their corpses. When paramedics attempted to rescue her from the car, Israeli soldiers shot and killed her.

How far gone are you that torturing and killing a six year old FOR DAYS is a fun little pass time for you? Something you can waste days doing? How do you come back to society after that? How do you take your kids to school? How do you watch them interact with other kids?

In my view, the soldiers who toyed with her like that, who sat and watched her sobbing in that car for days, who finally killed her when she was about to be rescued, are incapable of morality. They are beyond rehabilitation. The Hague is too good for them.

Daily update post:

Two Arab men loyal to ISIS were arrested for intending to carry out a terrorist attack in the Old City of Jerusalem. They were going to use explosives, and were considering buying a drone to drop the explosives from. I just wanna remind everyone, that every new terrorism tactic developed against Israelis, eventually makes its way to other countries.

On Israel's northern border, Hezbollah fired a barrage of rockets into the city of Kiryat Shmona, causing widespread blackouts. Among the buildings his is a school. On our southern border, a TV reporter shared that over the first 9 days of 2024, 17 rocket barrages were fired into Israel from Gaza. It's a lot less than it used to be, but it's still not zero. I want people to understand that until we can guarantee no rockets are going to be fired at Israeli civilians living along the country's borders, those communities can't go back to their homes. They'll remain evacuated, homeless, without any possible change on the horizon. It's an abnormal and impossible situation for any country, if its citizens can't live on their own land. No country would take it, and frankly, it is only the strength of spirit of Israel's northern and southern communities, that allowed Israel to overlook the tens of thousands of rockets being fired into this land for 22 years. NO COUNTRY would take this. And after Oct 7, Israeli civilians are done taking it, too. Which means Israel as a country can no longer accept this abnormal reality either.

This is a map of how Hamas' rockets cover Israel (and how this progressed through the years). It doesn't show Hezbollah's rockets. If Hamas has tens of thousands of rockets, Hezbollah is said to have hundreds of thousands. It also doesn't show how far drones from Gaza can reach, or how Israel has had rockets fired at it from Iraq, Syria and Yemen, too. And that Iran's rockets can also reach us.

After undergoing surgery, and still waiting to learn the extent to which his serious injuries will affect him, singer and actor Idan Amedi sent out a message through a friend (an Israeli politician) who was visiting him. Idan said, according to his friend, to forget about him, he's not important and he will deal with what he has to, what matters is that the People of Israel will stay strong together. One journalist IMO nailed it, when he said about Idan, that it's not that Amedi as an individual matters more than the other soldiers in Gaza, it's that he's a symbol of how much Israelis are putting aside and sacrificing in order to protect our country and our people.

The less interesting part of the lawsuit by South Africa (organized behind the scenes by the Palestinian Authority) against Israel was concluded today, the part where we already knew what lies and distortions will be employed. Tomorrow, Israel will get to respond, and that should prove more interesting. For now, many have condemned the biased stance that SA took, especially as in 2015 it enabled the return to Sudan of Omar al-Bashir, who has been guilty of mass rapes and murders in Darfur. SA was asked to arrest him for his crimes against humanity during a visit, but they enabled his safe return to his country and to his crimes. He was only stopped in 2019. That's on top of SA siding with Iran, a country that finances terrorism globally, kills its own civilians, and is implicated in the Oct 7 massacre carried out by Hamas, the antisemitic genocidal terrorist organization. SA omitted the massacre from the lawsuit it filed against Israel.

Before the trial in the Hague started, the head of Israel's criminal forensics institute, Dr. Chen Kugel, has published more evidence from the horrifying crimes of Hamas, committed on Oct 7, and which were motivated by genocidal intent. A part of the current antisemitic farce is, of course, that while Israel is wrongfully being charged with genocide, the actual crimes perpetrated due to genocidal intent can't be prosecuted in the International Court of Justice, because Hamas is not a state, and did not sign the convention for the prevention of genocide, as Israel did. There's an irony here that only antisemitism can turn into a reality, that the first heinous crimes in this war were committed against Israel, yet the first trial over any crimes in this war is also targeting the Jewish state.

They're saying it will take years for the lawsuit to be concluded. But the accusation, the libel against Israel (and possibly an intermediary junction against Israel, for which the bar is very low, and which SA is asking the court to give), that's happening RIGHT NOW. It's why some people are calling this the modern Dreyfus trial. For those who don't know, Dreyfus was a loyal French officer. He was also Jewish. That was enough to convict him in the court of public opinion as a traitor, and it was enough to bias the actual court in which the trial was held. Dreyfus was found guilty of treason, dishonorably discharged, and exiled. The injustice was evident in real time, as Emile Zola's famous op ed "J'accuse!" shows. Decades later, Dreyfus was exonerated of all charges against him, and a non-Jewish French officer was exposed as the real traitor. But it was too late for Dreyfus, and for all Jews at the time, who had witnessed the modern, supposedly liberal west fail them.

The same Iran that finances Hamas, including the Oct 7 massacre, and has invested in SA, has also been confirmed to have attacked a ship in the Oman bay. It's the second time (at least) that Iran has attacked a ship directly rather than use proxies, like the Houthi terrorists in Yemen, to target international shipping.

Today, Egypt refused an American request, to allow a UN delegation entry into the northern part of the Gaza strip, so it coud evaluate the needs of Palestinians. This is a reminder that if anyone tells you Hamas' reports on the number of fatalities has been independently verified... no, they weren't. No one impartial is found in Gaza right now. Also, that if people blame everything that's happening to Gazans right now on Israel, they're intentionally leaving out both Hamas, other Gazan terrorist organzations, and the Egyptians.

The other day, Hamas claimed that two journalists were killed in Gaza. Yesterday, the IDF released records showing they were both memberes of Palestinian terrorist organizations.

Across Israel, people are getting ready to hold many events and strikes as we're getting close to the 100th day since Hamas and other Gazans kidnapped Israeli civilians from their homes. 136 Israelis, alive or dead, are still held hostage in Gaza. The youngest of the hostages is Kfir Bibas, was just 9 months old when he was taken from his home at gunpoint, together with his 4 years old brother Ariel, and his mom Shiri. Next week, Kfir will "celebrate" his first birthday on this earth in captivity. Yarden, the father, was also kidnapped, but he was taken into Gaza separately. A Hamas released vid shows Yarden being told that his wife and sons are dead. We don't know if this is true or not, as in the past, these terrorists have lied about hostages being dead, when they turned out to be alive. Hamas' vid also showed Yarden Bibas in great emotional distress, and one hostage, who was held with him in a terror tunnel, but was later released, said he was in a terrible mental state, and she feared for his life. Here are images of the Bibas family before they were kidnapped:

'Self Portrait' as painted by Dutch painter, draftsman and printmaker Willem Bastiaan Tholen (1860 - 1931). When he fell under the influence of The Hague Group one of the influences of theirs that he partially fell under was his choice of subjects for paintings. When he painted the fishing boats on the beach in Scheveningen, in contrast to Jacob Maris whom he greatly admired, Tholen made the village the backdrop rather than the desolate sea. In other paintings he used the bustle of the city as a theme more than was generally the case in the Hague School. He depicted construction sites, slaughterhouses, stonecutters, the sand excavations, and sand barge captains on the canal between The Hague and Scheveningen.

BY ARSEN OSTROVSKY AND STANISLAV PAVLOVSCHI,

If anyone is guilty of genocide here, it is the internationally recognized terrorist group Hamas. Not only does Hamas openly state that the destruction of Israel is its ultimate goal, as evidenced in its Charter, it acted out on those intentions on Oct. 7, when Hamas massacred over 1,200 Israelis, including raping, burning, mutilating and executing women and children.

That there have been civilian casualties in Gaza is tragic, but it is also the inevitable consequence of Hamas using its own people as human shieldsand embedding its military operations in schools, hospitals, kindergartens and homes. Notwithstanding this challenge, the IDF have gone to extraordinary lengths to avoid casualties and abide by principles of international humanitarian law.

For example, the IDF has been warning civilians in Gaza to evacuate before a pending attack and providing safe passage for them to do so, while at all times adhering to the principles of distinction and proportionality in aiming only at Hamas military targets. The proportionality of operations are also examined by the IDF’s Military Advocate General’s Office, Israel’s attorney general and the relevant commanders on the ground before being carried out.

In baselessly leveling the charge of genocide against Israel, all that South Africa is doing is engaging in a form of lawfare as a proxy of the Iranian regime and Hamas. Furthermore, South Africa is only diminishing real acts of genocide, such as those that occurred in the Holocaust, as well as against Armenians, Yazidis, in Rwanda, Darfur and Syria more recently.

In a Oct. 24 interview, senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad gleefully stated that the terror group would repeat the Oct. 7 massacre “again and again” until Israel was “annihilated,” openly admitting the group’s genocidal intentions.

In response, then British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly commented,“How can there be peace when Hamas are committed to the eradication of Israel?”

My thoughts on BUCCHIGIRI?! Episode 11 aka the most traumatizing episode I’ve ever seen

WARNING: *Contain spoilers for Episode 11*

- This was the most harrowing episode ever! Like man. We got lots of reveal!

- Ok so for the opening scene it’s a flashback. There was some oppression breaking out at where Ichiya and Senya is living at, Senya and Ichiya are still training to be Honki people but however, there was a change in Ichiya’s attitude. He became much more hostile and vengeful at Senya’s playfulness and during their last match together, Ichiya tried to brutalize Senya. Senya didn’t understand why Ichiya has become like that but….

- Just as Ichiya was about to land a blow, he was shoot at behind by some unknown assailants. Senya screamed out for Ichiya but he was shoot as well. Closer look at what the assailants are holding are the flintlock pistols that would soon house both Senya and Ichiya spiritually.

- Also can I take a moment’s notice to observe that in Senya’s dying scene, he’s reaching out to Ichiya before he died as well.

- This was the backstory Senya told Arajin but Arajin was mad that he told him much later and that he was planning to kill him but Senya said that he planned to return Arajin mentally once his score with Ichiya is settled but Arajin too mad about it, told him to get lost. Senya was sad about it but also said that he felt some kind of bonding with Arajin before he disappeared.

- Back to Matakara, we see him beating up a bunch of random thugs and HOLY SHIT! I CALLED IT! HE HAD AN EVIL MAKEOVER!!! HE IS NOW WEARING A DIFFERENT INNER LAYER!!!

- Ok so now his hoodie is now a dark blue and is now showing cleavage with the metal bullet between his chest.

- Just as Matakara is walking back, Arajin was waiting for him and tried to warn Matakara about Ichiya’s plan but Matakara, who is still being manipulated, brushed it off thinking that Arajin doesn’t him want to be strong and that he is perfectly ok with letting Ichiya taking over his body.

- Ichiya questioned why didn’t Matakara go after Arajin since he has Senya with him but Matakara said that he wants to beat Kenichiro first.

- The Siguma goons are sitting at a playground and just being worried in general about how Matakara just outright pummeled Marito and wondering about the status of Siguma and if it will fall.

- While walking back to school, we have the NNL segment but this time it’s a lot more somber and we don’t see the customer freaking out. But that being said, it is also a lot….darker when The Customer ordered for Jasmine again and he started getting weird (I’m thinking it’s foreshadowing the finale)

- The aftermentioned goons went to the Siguma base , clearly worried before they saw Outa. He punched into the ground hard (guess they weren’t lying about how his punch can break concrete in Episode 3) because of what happenedast episode before declaring that Siguma isn’t dead.

- Meanwhile Marito is still out cold and Mahoro is watching over him. It’s pretty saddening to hear when Outa came by and had said that Marito hasn’t even woken up for 3 days!

- Also I think it’s kind of nice to see Mahoro having a cordial relationship with Outa and the latter being worried about her. But still it really hurt to see Mahoro crying about Marito’s conditions. (I know she’s a huge weirdo around her brother but still I can’t help but feel for her really)

- When Outa got out, Jabashiri and Hague’s came by (@hiphopcherrrypop YOUR BOYS ARE BACK!!!) and asked about Marito’s conditions to which Outa replied to what he has relayed to Mahoro.

- Angered, Jabashiri tried to confront Matakara one more time but Hagure stopped him and scolded on how he is not in any condition to fight but not before slapping him across the face to calm him down. (Man, the way this scene reads is kind of something you would see in a shoujo manga)

- Also, Hagure called Jaba a blockhead. (I swear these two are in love with each other)

- Outa was glad to hear about the dedication that both Jabashiri and Hagure had for Siguma and patted them on their backs.

- Meanwhile with Minato Kai, the two men guarding Kenichiro’s room are discussing about how Matakara is going against the creed of Minato Kai and how it isn’t like him at all. But speak of the devil, Matakara attacked the guards.

- Zabu, Komao and the rest of Minato Kai arrived to witness everything that has happened. Zabu and Komao were visibly angered at how their friend is going back to the horrific mindset he used to have before joining Minato Kai. Matakara however did not care and brushed these two off as always.

- Also we got a flashback to how the friend group is formed. Zabu was the first to arrive and wanting to join the group but then he met Komao around the same time. Just then, they heard some beatings coming from behind and that’s when they met Matakara. They were also the ones to watch him get his ass handed by Kenichiro but however this sparked an interest in Zabu.

- During lunch break, Zabu tossed a juice box to Matakara all the while looking tsun tsun about it but Komao convinced the latter otherwise about how he felt about Matakara.

- Look I know some ppl have reservations about Zabu and Komao but let’s face it: Matakara, Zabu and Komao are ride and die buddies for each other and it shows in earlier episodes.

- But back to reality, we see Matakara proposing a challenge to Kenichiro, the latter whilst did not speak, accepted it. Which horrified everyone at Minato Kai.

- With Arajin, his mind is left wandering on how to save Matakara to the point of getting the order wrong with his customers but however once the ate the fried rice they just ate it without a care in the world.

- Just then, Kenichiro came into the shop and asking for Arajin’s assistance. (Also Mrs Tomoshibi igushing about Kenichiro is just too funny) While outside, they have an unseen conversation that would later be cut into the later scene.

- In the next scene, that took place after school, we see Zabu and Komao together, pondering about the fight that took place. Zabu had an idea and asked Komao to go fetch Arajin. Komao had no idea but he went with it anyways to go get Arajin. Zabu on the other hand was planning something drastic.

- While Arajin is resting in his room, Mrs Tomoshibi called for Arajin but before Arajin could answer, Komao barged in and dragged Arajin to Ichizu Bay to watch the ensuing fight.

- Meanwhile with Zabu, he stopped Matakara in his tracks and tried to convince him to change back to the way he used to be. And so he tried to fight off Matakara but this would later proved to be a very VERY fatal fight.

- OH MY FRICKIN GOD!!! THE FIGHT BETWEEN ZABU AND MATAKARA WAS JUST DOWNRIGHT TERRIFYING AND SAD. ALSO, THE WAY ZABU SAID THAT HE WOULD ALWAYS SEE MATAKARA AS HIS FRIEND BEFORE HE PASSED OUT!!!

- WRITERS PLS SAY THAT HE ISN’T DEAD! PLS SAY DON’T SAY THAT ZABU DIED ON THE ROAD TRYING TO STOP MATAKARA!!!!!!!

- Meanwhile with Komao and Arajin, they’re watching the ensuing fight that is happening with Kenichiro and Matakara. The same goes for the members watching it as well.

- If you think Zabu’s was heartbreaking, Kenichiro is the same as well and equally so. Just seeing Matakara trying to go up to Ken and doing the same thing he did back when he was just a unrecruited member is just 😢.

- Akutaro happens to be there to witness the scene out of sight probably to see Ichiya’s downfall but I won’t comment much about him since he is basically irrelevant in this one.

- Matakara as always engulfed himself in Ichiya’s power once again and repeatedly shouted ‘Go Down!’ at Ken over and over again. (Which is saddening cause earlier episodes clearly have him respect Kenichiro and the latter knew his brother very well)

- Komao leaving right in the middle of fight to check up on Zabu. (Boi pls don’t you would not like what you see what happened with your friend)

- And if that wasn’t enough, we got a backstory on the Asamine’s! Mr and Mrs Asamine basically abandoned their two children for some unknown bullshit reasons (SO THE MATAKARA AND MITSUKUNI ORPHAN HEADCANON/THEORIES ARE TRUE!!!) leaving their older son to care for his younger brother. But right after Mitsukuni got arrested for saving his friends, Matakara would then go through dubious means to achieve power. (Showing he isn’t the sunshine puppy dog boi he is always presented to be)

- Oh and one thing that shattered my heart: Matakara removing the jacket Mitsukuni gave to him along with the armbands and threw it right in front of Ken! (This is just horrible!)

- Matakara would then lament how he would beat Arajin in which Ichiya smiled devilishly regarding how his revenge on Senya would come.

- Arajin went back to the Honki temple to reinstate Senya back but this time with a new resolve to bring back Matakara.
