Okay so. I’m currently working on a post that has this detail in it, but the post is really long and what I’m sharing now is at the end. And I don’t really expect a lot of people to through what’s probably 1,000+ words to get to it. I talked about it another time, but I don’t think it really got seen because it was a reblog. So I’m sharing it here, because I think it’s actually pretty important and should be talked about.
During Ace’s testimony about David and Arei, Arei says this:
Tumblr media
Which makes sense by itself. We the audience know Arei would definitely say that, now that we know what happened in the Infirmary with Eden and Arei.
But remember. This is Ace’s testimony. And, well, there’s something that makes this very suspicious.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ace doesn’t think Arei wants to change before he gives his testimony.
But he should. If we believe his testimony.
According to him, he heard her say that she wanted to change and “become a good person”. To be like Eden. And yet, he doesn’t believe Eden earlier in the trial when she says that Arei wanted to change, before he hears the story about Eden, Arei, and Arturo.
Which gives us four options, listed from worst to best (based on my opinions of course):
Option 1: The creator made a mistake and forgot Ace was supposed to know about Arei becoming a good person. I hate this answer, it’s such a cop-out. I hate assuming a creator made a mistake just because I don’t understand a piece of evidence or it doesn’t fit with my current view of something. I hesitate to even include this as an option. (This came out a bit aggressive sorry I just got a little passionate).
Option 2: Ace is a dumbass and didn’t remember that Arei said that until he said his testimony. While I don’t really like this one, either, since it’s also just a way of saying it’s irrelevant and doesn’t impact anything, I suppose it does sorta fit with Ace’s ‘act first, think second’ attitude.
Option 3: Ace is the culprit and jumped on the ‘Arei committed suicide’ bandwagon when he saw a chance to avoid most of the trial. I don’t really believe this one, but it is a viable option, I suppose. Though if he was the culprit, I don’t really understand why he wouldn’t share the David secret info immediately just to throw David under the bus and hope everyone voted for him.
Option 4: My personal favorite. Ace lies in his testimony. That’s why the information in it is inaccurate and why it seems like he hastily tried to add in details he recently learned from things like Eden’s testimony without considering the fact that the way he acted earlier wouldn’t make sense if he already overheard things about them. I’ll explain a little further.
The reason I believe this one the most, is also because of David’s reaction to Ace’s testimony.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He doesn’t say “No, Ace is lying” but he also doesn’t say “Yes, Ace is correct and his testimony is true.” Instead, he does something very interesting. He confirms that Arei and him met in the relaxation room…But refuses to admit that Ace is right about the conversation they had. Instead he avoids the question and says he isn’t going to remember anymore.
Which is really weird? Right before this he went on a big speech about just admitting the truth to preserve his pride. And this is backed up later when he refuses to be called the culprit—Well, until he realizes that’s the only way to get the class to realize he’s not the culprit. Or decides he wants to die. And yet, David refuses to say Ace told the truth about his and Arei’s conversation. Which he should be doing! Like I said, he went on a tangent about how he was just going to admit the truth right before this!
Which leads one to believe that Ace told the truth about David and Arei meeting in the relaxation room. But he changed the conversation they had in some way.
I think that’s the most agreeable part of the theory. The most believable, because it has the most evidence backing it up. However, Ace’s reasons for doing what he did, and what he changed in his testimony, are where things get a little messier.
Ace could’ve changed the story so that he could throw David under the bus, since David was trying to throw a bit of suspicion on him beforehand. But that still leaves the question of why. I’m gonna do a bit of repeating from my last theory, just for a little bit. Then we get back to some new stuff.
I’m going to go under the assumption that Ace changed the conversation to be about David’s secret, when in reality it was about something else, since I think that makes the most sense. (I recognize there are probably other avenues one could take, however). But if Ace knew David’s secret without overhearing it, he could’ve just said, “Hey, I know David’s secret, it’s the manipulator one! I know because *insert reasons Arei gave in the flashback, minus seeing it over Whit’s shoulder*” and that would be the end of it.
But Ace didn’t do that. Under this theory, he made up a whole conversation to justify why he knew. And I think it’s pretty simple to see why he did that.
Ace doesn’t want to die.
Ace just almost got murdered. He’s not too eager for that to happen again, so he wants to take all precautions to avoid it. People already don’t like him, so that’s not good. But what happens if people find out he’s observant enough to figure out David’s secret by himself, just from watching David’s behavior throughout the chapter? Currently, everyone thinking he’s an idiot when it comes to basically everything is working in his favor for once, since when trying to get away with murder, you’d probably want to murder the people who could potentially solve it. Not an incompetent asshole who’ll probably just make things easier for you. The only time this doesn’t apply is when the murder is more of a crime of passion, so to speak, like Nico’s. Where they, by their own admission, didn’t even think about the trial before they tried to murder.
So if Ace wants the best chance of avoiding becoming a future victim and revealing David’s secret, he can’t admit he found out on his own…And what better way to circumvent that than pin the blame on someone who’s already dead and can’t object to his story, like Arei? Better yet, he can just use the location and set-up he already saw, just change their conversation so that they said what he wanted!
Do you really think he left his story so open-ended on accident?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He purposely left it up to interpretation as to whether David was actually as evil as the secret says, because Ace himself doesn’t actually know if he is. He gives David the opportunity to reveal that the secret was exaggerated because he has no way of knowing if it is or not. He knows David manipulates people, like how he did so to make sure his real secret wasn’t revealed. But is he truly as pure evil as the secret makes him out to be? Ace doesn’t know.
Also, this line?
Tumblr media
“I’m right, aren’t I?” This might be confirmation bias talking, but this just straight-up sounds to me like he’s saying, “I’m right, that is your secret and all those things I had ‘Arei’ say were true, weren’t they?”
Again, this isn’t my strongest point, but Ace in this case wasn’t really ‘right’. If anything, Arei was right because she accused David. Ace would only be right if he figured out his secret, which he didn’t according to his testimony.
But maybe I’m looking into this line too much. “I’m right and what I said happened actually happened” may just be the meaning. Moving on.
Tumblr media
(Ace accidentally predicted the Literature Girl Insane video hehe).
With this theory in mind, Ace expected David to explain his behavior a multitude of ways, but completely changing his demeanor and just becoming a major asshole? He did not expect that.
This is on more of a light-hearted note, but:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This scene would be very fitting and kinda hilarious in retrospect if this theory were true. Ace is appalled by J’s comment because the part about him eavesdropping on a conversation was literally the only part of his testimony that was true, yet J finds it the most suspicious. And J’s habit of assuming the worst of people has been used for comedic effect before, so it’s possible.
Anyways, I think that’s all. The first part, about inconsistencies in Ace’s story, is probably the most relevant, and my theorizing afterwards was more so just my opinion on things and what I think happened.
I said I thought people wouldn’t read a long post, so I made a new one…But then the new post turned really long…Whoops.

The Kiwami Millennium Tower showdown definitely ended with Kiryu being shaken awake by Haruka, who frantically pulls him over to Nishiki, half-buried in rubble and in a pool of his own blood, and Kiryu carrying a badly injured Nishiki out of the building to safety and still holding him close and not letting go when Nishiki regains consciousness in his arms and starts to weakly struggle against his grip, gives up, and breaks down sobbing, clutching Kiryu’s shirt and pleading to him–
“Please don’t do this– please don’t force me to live with this– just end it. I don’t deserve to live, I don’t want your mercy or your pity– it wasn’t supposed to go like this. I failed– I fail at everything– I even failed at ending my own life. I’ve hurt and betrayed everyone I’ve ever cared about and been a burden on everyone I’ve ever known. I’ll never be enough. Why the hell are you trying to save me? What the hell is there to save? Let me do one useful thing for once in my life and leave me to bleed out like I should. Please, Kazuma.”
And with teary eyes squeezed shut, his head down, Kiryu holds him so tightly to his chest it makes Nishiki’s burns sting and tells him,
“Everyone hurt you, and I left you to hurt alone. I broke our promise. I should’ve never left you to cross the line alone. I was supposed to be there for you, and I wasn’t– but I’m here now and I’m not letting you go. Never again. I need you here. I want you here. Just being here is enough, Akira. I promise.”
And Nishiki gives into his instinctive need to just cling to him and cry, as if making up for years of pent-up tears he’s forced himself not to shed out of an intense fear of vulnerability. He does what he should’ve done a long time ago, fakes his death, and leaves the yakuza life behind in favor of something more mundane, but something that’s actually him– something that allows him to accept himself as he is rather than being forced to live up to the impossible standards of others.
Trust me this is absolutely how it went. The End.
#didnt mean for this to be like. a miniature fic but. oops#also feel free to take this as platonic or romantic its really not important the point still stands#nishiki#kiryu#akira nishikiyama#kazuma kiryu#nishikiryu#yakuza kiwami#yakuza kiwami spoilers#cw suicidal ideation#i just. i want them to make up. and i want nishiki to break down crying. and i want him to be told hes enough. gaghghfgdhghh#long post#like legit tho. narratively speaking. i think just blowing up nishiki and having that be the end of it is... so much missed potential and#definitely not the most satisfying and emotionally engaging way of going about nishiki's overall story#something about suicidal characters being put up against horrible odds and struggling and in the end just being left to die without#anyone ever truly getting through to them that they are enough and deserve to exist and etc– at least enough to back away from the#ledge so to speak. idk. i just. dont like it#no one wants to see a character suffer like that for so long while being shown Clearly the causes of their self loathing and what Made them#fall as far as they have into self destruction- thus knowing they truly WANT to live. they just dont believe being happy or feeling content#is ever possible for them based on what they've been told and what they've gone through. and then watch them successfully kill themselves i#in an act of volatility and hostility essentially affirming that they'll forever be remembered for being malicious and as horrible as#they believe themselves to be and etc etc etc#sorry im rambling here#but#it just. i dont know man i just dont like it. and like i said its just. theres so much wasted potential for character growth and a more#well-rounded story overall....... sigh

anyways! here’s me sitting in bed kicking my feet up and underlining this bit with a sparkly pen (black glitter ink obvs) 100 times.  because it’s obviously heartbreaking, BUT ALSO it’s reassuring, as proof that, unlike her dad, gideon is already figuring out that sometimes revenge doesn’t actually bring you closure!  
which is a fundamental thesis of Nona, imo: jod’s fatal flaw is his self-righteous laser focus on vengeance on the trillionaires over saving the world, which leads him to escalate the stakes until he damns the world.  to quote cassiopeia, “your problem is that you care less about being a saviour than you do about meting out punishment.”  (which is paralleled in hot sauce’s arc as well, actually - she realizes that “revenge” on the zombies wasn’t worth it when it meant killing nona!)
and here’s gideon, getting some taste of the vengeance she’s always dreamed of (telling crux her dad’s literally God AND killing him) and finding it lacking.  she just (rightfully!) took crux and the whole ninth to task for always being focused on dying for harrow instead of living for her - but gideon needs to live for herself and not just kill for harrow and her past, too, i think.*  i mean, i don’t think it’s a coincidence that the closest kiriona comes to seeming like Our Gideon is in the final scene, once harrow shows up - once gideon isn’t focused on the past and revenge but on building a future.
anyways! this scene is why i’m stubbornly going to cling to the hope that gideon is going to get at least a slightly happy ending in Alecto after all, because she’s going to break the generational cycle of vengeance!!
*i don’t think the parallel is perfect, because obviously killing crux is not just revenge but also necessary for opening the tomb and bringing back harrow, but i still think it’s very interesting and suggestive
image description under cut, because the alt text box ran out of room:
Photograph of two paragraphs from the book Nona the Ninth. Text reads:
And Kiriona kept saying— “It didn’t feel good … Fuck … It didn’t feel good. Why didn’t it feel good?”
A rising, hysterical note. “Why didn’t it feel good? You fucking old … You hideous, cruel … you bastard … Why didn’t … Why can’t I…”

hmm do you think the always being slightly hungry thing might actually be an after effect of laios becoming a monster and/or eating demon rather than an extension of the curse...

The possible foreshadowing of Yolanda saying her parents will send her to boarding school if she keeps sneaking out. I think it's mainly @hournites who has talked about Yolanda's parents sending her to the Helix Institute and it seems very possible...

I think what people miss about Izuku wanting to save Tomura is that, more than Izuku's want, it is also a part of the job of being a Hero
I think people also miss the fact that while Izuku desperately wants to save Tomura, he's also been told that he might have to kill him if he's too far gone, and while it's not something Izuku prefers, he's implied that it might be something he has to do should it seem necessary
He's said himself that "There's certainly a possibility that he can only be stopped by killing him, and I haven't thought about how I would do that if it comes down to it..."
He has ALSO said "One For All is a power to SAVE, not to kill."
Izuku WANTS to save Tomura, but also knows he might NEED to kill him. He knows that if Tomura is too far gone, if it seems like he CAN'T come back, then the latter may be necessary
Izuku is acting on want, both with his own morals and as a Hero doing his job to save people, but is also thinking about the job of a Hero to PROTECT people, and if Tomura won't or can't be stopped, then Izuku might have to put him down to stop more bloodshed
The reason I'm bringing this up is because I've seen some people theorise that Izuku isn't going to want to save Tomura anymore because he hurt Bakugou again, and honestly, I think you have to consider both sides that Izuku fights for
Izuku is fighting because he wants to help people. Putting the whole Hero Job aside for a sec, Izuku has always been like that. Even as a quirkless kid, he stood up for people and ran to save Bakugou because he wanted to
Izuku is also fighting because he needs to help people. It's part of the job, part of what makes a Hero a Hero. Putting Izuku's personality and own morals aside for a sec, it's what any Hero is supposed to do. Fight for the people, help anyone who needs it, etc
It's a mix of both want and need
The one difference between then and now, with Bakugou being hurt again, is that Izuku now knows Tomura is hurting. He knows Tomura isn't just a Villain, but a victim too
So let's say Izuku sees Bakugou hurt and gets really angry at Tomura, maybe even goes berserk again; he wants to give this Villain a piece of his mind. That doesn't mean he's going to stop seeing Tomura as a victim either
Sure, he'll be mad. He'll be really mad. But that can't stop Izuku, and if it does, then Izuku isn't the True Hero we thought he was, the one that Tomura needs
And we all know there is still time. While TomurAFO is being really destructive, while Tomura is currently giving into that hatred that powers AFO's control over him, while Tomura is STILL out here wanting to destroy - we know he wants to be saved. He NEEDS it. To be seen, to be heard, by a Hero who actually gives a fuck
And Izuku is the only one out of all the Heroes who wants to try
So it's gotta be him. It will be him.
Bakugou being hurt won't stop Izuku from trying. If it does, then Izuku can't call himself A Hero Who Saves Everybody

Just wanna say that we wanted the hexsquad kids to experience human rain in an “this is so nice and comforting and freeing” way but now they’ll probably associate it with the whole trauma they just went through :)

I might be slightly obsessed with Hades, Hythlodaeus, and Azem being found family siblings. Just them being very close to each other to a point they obviously love each other so much??
Listening to how Hades became Emet-selch just had me like “they are friends!!!!!”
It’s gonna be like Solas in dragon age where i dislike the romance cause him calling me “my friend” when I greet him means more to me.
