Oblivious hypocrisy?
This post is about supposed hypocrisy within Tsukasa. Theory.
To start off, let’s go over his general beliefs that have been shown throughout the manga since day one.
Tumblr media
Tsukasa belives supernatural and humans should be whoever they want to be, they should be together if they desire to. And if that’s enough to end the world, then it’s a done deal.
I find it interesting, out of everything that interesting about Tsukasa, that he thinks people should get whatever they desire. Within reason, authenticity, and if they’re willing to pay the price. With those things, it really doesn’t matter what your wish is, or who you hurt to get it. He’ll forgive everything.
Tumblr media
No.1: He wants people to have whatever wish they want, whatever desire they have.
This really plays into his part on Sakura’s team as well, as her assistant. She’s selfish for wanting to wipe out everyone, every living/existing being just so she could go ‘outside’ and be free. But that’s what she wants, and she’s sure she’s truthful about it, that she’s truly happy.
So in Tsukasa’s eyes, that’s ok.
Tumblr media
No.2 is: That he believes wishes and desires and wants are endless.
A human, a supernatural, existing beings don’t stop wanting. They’re always going to want something, we are always going to have desires and wishes.
He’s known this ever since he was 4 years old, when he got trapped in the Red House. In the Red House, we can see that Kou got put through many trials of his wants projecting at him. And they didn’t stop until they got to Nene and he refused all of them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They are even things he didn’t even realized he wanted.
That’s because they’re coming from the heart, where the authenticity lies.
Tumblr media
Tsukasa has seen person from person walk into the house wanting their wishes to come true. He knows how this works. A wish for a price, no matter how many wishes there are, they’ll have to be payed for.
But there is no end it, no boundaries to what they can wish and what they can’t. As long as it comes from the heart, maybe even portrays in front of them like with Kou.
So, two clear beliefs. People should have whatever they want, beings don’t stop wishing.
Now let’s see how those two things are shown by Tsukasa himself. Let’s see if he fits his own expectations.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tsukasa replies with a chapter long explanation on why and how his wish already got granted.
Kou asks Tsukasa what his wish is, why hasn’t his wishes been projected like his has. Tsukasa says he had no other wishes then what he’s already got granted, with the cost of sacrificing himself, and having to stay in the Red House.
He has no other wishes, supposedly. By his own words. He’s saying he’s never wanted anything more, he’s never even thought of anything more.
To Tsukasa, he really just hasn’t thought of anything more, what more could he possibly want.
Being in the Red House for so long, having to see people come to get a wish granted with their prices as well. He’s been busy peering into other people’s wants and desires. Almost noisily, as this has become his new interest, fixation. Wishes, wants, desires. Impulses, and inclinations too.
But he’s so busy with that, he can’t even think to peer into himself. Figure himself out.
Tumblr media
You could think this was his only want, but then we see later that that’s incorrect.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tsukasa says he knew how to get back home, he just didn’t go because he thought it was for the best. He mentions ‘holding back’, which just brings me back to the whole concept of that in TBHK, and Tsukasa’s obvious interest in it.
So I find it wondrous how he’s saying he himself stopped holding back at some point.
Stopped holding himself back from being with the people he loves most, with Amane and his parents. Now just acknowledging that he’s had the desire to go back. And he even invites the Red House Darkness ( Is that what we’re calling it? ) to come with him.
Though, despite him letting go of his swear of not wanting more, this isn’t reaching his expectations at all. This was, for all we now, one occurrence.
Supernaturals and humans should be however they want to be? Has he ever abstained that from himself?
He’s always wanting people like Mitsuba, Shijima, Sakura, Amane to embrace their aspirations, no matter how selfish or fantastical they may be. He’s always pestering about wishes, this and that, to whoever.
But, he’s never once thought about himself, has he? Just once? It seems so, cause currently ( In the chapter 110 ), here he goes again. Trying to make two wishes come true, Sakura and Amane’s both. At the same time.
And something I’ve also noticed about him is that, he may be truthful, but there are times where he isn’t willing to share. I can point out occasions, but I think this is implying more.
Tumblr media
He can shy away from things, questions, topics. Involving his own feelings? Like his feelings about thunder?
He can get quiet, wide eyed, looking everywhere else?
Well, that’s ironic, giving he always wants to know the feelings of others.
Amane, grabbing his face, trying to see his expression, because I think to Tsukasa that’s a way to read people. Just through the face they’re making? Hmm..
Tumblr media Tumblr media
With Sakura too, like shown in the other imagine above.
Mitsuba as well.
Tumblr media
But.. Then he hides his face when it comes to some situations? I wonder.
That exes all of his beliefs/expectations out.
He doesn’t even make it close to meeting them.
Tsukasa’s all too selfless, and with his overbearing appeal to wishes, wants, desires, selfishness, aspirations, etc etc. It clouds his brain from focusing on nothing more than other’s.
And I’m always so confused when people call him selfish. They may be thinking of his twin. Their almost complete opposites, after all.
I feel like this shows a sort of oblivious hypocritical behavior. His behavior contrasts his beliefs and feelings.
I don’t think anyone would have took him for the hypocrite. Even though I don’t think he himself even has a clue.

Okay it's crack theory time
Tumblr media
What if the reason why there's no water on the floor of the Red House is because the House itself is literally under the sea between the Near and Far Shores (which could explain why it's connected to other boundaries)?

The latest chapters got me thinking... I love HanaNene with all my heart but how will they ever be together?
I wish Hanako could come back to life but not only that sounds absurd but it also sounds unfair to Mitsuba. They are both supernaturals who died at young age, they both didn't deserve it. If Hanako came back Mitsuba should too, and that sounds even more impossible. The only thing possible for what we have already read would be a life exchange but we saw how it went with Nene and Aoi. It's not something acceptable.
On the other hand, having Nene die and become a supernatural, as much as I would love to see them together, doesn't sound right too.
"Die and become a supernatural with me" that's exactly what the fake Mitsuba said to Kou in ch.77 but it doesn't feel like the right choice at all. The whole point that Kou makes in that chapter is that when people die (like his mother) you can only accept it and go on.
You can't go back, it wouldn't be right. Death is unfair but having one person die for another that you love is even worse.
But if these two options are the only one we have to see Hanako and Nene together as a couple... Is there no other ending than Nene going on with her life with living people?
I really like the topics of this manga. It's not just supernatural being/human, it's literally ghost/human. It talks a lot about the unfairness of death and the regrets of those who died and those who live. I really hope the mangaka can find a satysfing solution.

The fact that Kou wishes so badly for Mitsuba to believe in him that he'll even (subconsciously) be okay with being reminded of the time he proposed to accompany him in the afterlife is just. Pain.

bruh- chapter 77 hit so hard
like we see kous character shine through
like how he didnt want to become an exorcist
or like how he wished hanako was an evil supernatural so everything would have been easier
like how he doesnt agree with teru but he understands him
like how mitsuba appears and its clear he cares about him so much
and we finally see his mom, and he misses her so much, but understands how he will probably never see her again
but despite all of his friends dying or close to, he is still a sunshine and such a caring boi
in conclusion: stan kou if you didnt already
