182 Days of TPN - Day 178

Chapter 178: "To the Human World"

As sweet as it is to have Mujika & Sonju rush all the way from the capital to the GF plantation to wish the children one last goodbye, I can't help but think of the surprised Pikachu meme whenever I see this panel of Ray. He matches it perfectly.

Kinda glad we don't linger on the tragic events of the previous chapter long, like yeah, I don't need to shed any more tears about it, but also having Mujika completely switch topics as if the loss wasn't highly depressing is lowkey hilarious. Also, that one shot of the plantation shows the outer bridge again somehow even though it was clearly destroyed back in ch167.

I'm assuming Oliver, Violet & all the other GP kids already know about the golden water because Lucas might have told them about it when he ventured underground with Emma? It's not like any of them saw the literal Goldy Pond themselves since it was locked behind the door that required the WM pen to open and none of the residents had one until Emma showed up, but whatever. The only one of them I could imagine getting a peak of the golden water themselves is Nigel since he went below the windmill to set off the self destruct button in the control room that was right next to said pond. Anyways, if this is the place the Ratri clan used to transport stuff between worlds, can't y'all just use the stairs too? I dunno why but I can't imagine them using the Seven Wall method every time, or that they would even know how to complete the ritual in the first place. Emma only activated that to advise the demon god they're all ready to implement the promise and cross over.

Phil asking the very important questions that we're all dreading the answers to! Though I'm wondering again how he knew of the deal in the first place. I figure he and all the other children at GF were told about the promise off panel by the escapees sometime after they were all reunited or perhaps that little tidbit of information was something Phil heard about from Andrew. Who knows. I certainly don't. I can love this series with all my heart but by no means do I have an abundance of knowledge of every tiny detail.

I can't and won't say Emma's lying here because she isn't. She answers Phil's questions with full confidence and very truthfully, it's just.. not the full truth, which is clever on her part to just give the answers they're wondering about instead of all the extra fine details because her family definitely wouldn't allow her to carry such a burden, as they outwardly express to her a bit later.

I can imagine Emma revealing the price of the reward so casually, like "oh, the demon god actually wants you guys," or something similar which makes everyone's freak out even funnier in my head.

Thankfully, her family is off limits due to how Emma phrased the new promise to include all the cattle children to cross over to the human world, so the reward is.. "nothing." It's so anti-climatic that no one believes it. I praise Emma's master actor skills very highly and will probably do so again in a couple pages, but this undoubtedly one of her weaker performances. C'mon honey, I know the past couple days have been real hectic but surely you had some downtime between all the traveling to and from the capital to think up a better story. (and Violet totally swears there. don't even question it. perfectly in character.)

I love how everyone continues to be skeptical as the lie continues to grow. If the reward was really that simple, then Emma wouldn't have had a reason to hide the reward from Ray when he first asked about it during ch144. If it was all good news and truly free from any sort of sacrifices, then I'm sure she would've been delighted to tell him everything she and the demon god discussed.

She's certainly not wrong. Just because the cursed blood will be shared amongst all the demons so they won't degenerate, doesn't mean that'll cure their cravings for human meat. Sonju is a perfect example of that. I also love how enthusiastically everyone is nodding their heads to Norman's words. The fact everyone would give up their freedom in the human world just to stay behind in the demon world with Emma is so precious. It would've been interesting to see all the humans live normal lives (as "normal" as they could possibly get anyway) in the demon world and whether or not they could actually coexist with the demons. I guess the second season sorta did that during that final episode slideshow where it had the fullscore trio and Lambda crew stay behind for a couple years before crossing over, but that was poorly done and covered the later story arcs instead of everyone living freely so that attempt doesn't count.

It's so wholesome to see everyone celebrate like this because Emma is still telling the truth here. They really really deserve to be excited and hopeful for their new lives in the human world.

It's so reassuring to know that the boys are still feeling just as suspicious about this reward as the entire fandom did.

The doubts don't last for much longer though since Emma starts speaking from her heart and we all know how motivating and optimistic she is when that happens. Emma has lied and put on great performances in the past in order to hide her real intentions, so the fact she's being completely true to herself and her feelings here is impressive since no one, not even Norman or Ray, could detect any other uncertainties about the reward with how efficiently she puts their wondering minds at ease.

Well I'm sure as hell not. (I do love this panel of her though.)

Relativity by M. C. Escher, but make it pretty and magical.

Sorry to say but she's definitely gonna forget you, Mujika. Not by choice of course, but consequently. I'll never get over that bittersweet smile of Emma's either.

Totally gonna be bias but I'm absolutely thrilled everyone ended up in what is essentially this world's version of New York. Aside from that, I was beyond worried about Emma obviously missing as she was previously holding onto Phil's hand for several pages before everyone crossed over, but I tried hard to push away all the anxious feelings by thinking of how exciting it would be to see the kids explore one of the world's largest cities. You know, after they find our very special sunshine child first of course. That's top priority.

Favorite panel/moment:

I love how these two panels blend into one another. Makes me wanna believe that Emma was in two places at once, as silly as that idea is, but she either used the ritual to just signal the demon god that everyone's ready or took a quick trip there and back to tell Him personally. It's probably the former (since I doubt there's still an active full moon), but the latter would've been a bit funny to see her disappear for an instant then have her return just as quickly.

Queen Sonju…

Long story short, I took part in a reread of the tpn manga last night and the one voicing Sonju said Mujika’s lines above and thus, we came to conclusion that Sonju is the queen :)

Alright, let’s see what this leads to.

Ooh, very pretty looking stairs. Man, what a sad goodbye. But man, it’s gotta be a trip to be one of those other kids or moms with no clue as to what is going on.

They’ve made it. New York, it seems. Man, it’s been one Hell of a journey getting here, but what’s going to happen next? I guess we’ll find out next week! Thanks for reading along.

... Chapter 177 was a bad enough slap in the face for me. But I swear to god, if Chapter 179 comes out worse because of the suspicions I have regarding the events of Chapter 178, I will be greatly disappointed. All three of them had better be there. That’s all I’m saying.

I think that’s Norman at the top of the first panel. And Ray is laying near Phil. I hope that that arm next to Phil is Emma’s. Or maybe she’s just out of the shot.

Ayyy, nice to see Mujika again. But man, that is certainly a chapter title.

Implement it, eh? How do you go about doing that?

Ohhhh, makes sense that they’d have one of these here.

TPN Theory - What’s the Reward?

Hello internet, welcome to film theory manga theory episode 1, a maybe-series where I make lots of wrong theories about TPN. I’m here to give a theory on the true reward that He (or as some call it, The One) asked from Emma.

I was super disappointed with chapter 178, with how Shirai revealed the reward (or the lack of it) to the readers and the rest of the kids. This was a crucial cliffhanger that got us waiting eagerly for a few weeks back in July, and I’m sure many people can’t be satisfied with a “there was no reward” exception. So either Emma is lying to everyone or Shirai has given up. I refuse to believe the latter so it’s probably the former.

Allow me to present my theory - it’s what I call the Deathly Hallows/Black Butler theory. Not catchy, I know, but there is a possibility that TPN is pulling something similar.

What do I mean by Deathly Hallows? Well, if you’ve seen/watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, you would know that there’s a children’s story called ‘The Three Brothers’. I won’t go into much detail since I forgot the story, but it ended with the last brother accepting Death with a smile on his face when he stopped hiding in his invisibility cloak. It could be that the reward that The One asked for was Emma since he wants the highest quality meat. But since He also promised Emma to go to the human world, He has to wait until Emma dies to take her body, and Emma “greets Him with a smile on her face”.

The other half of my theory is the Black Butler theory, which is also very similar to the previous one. In Black Butler, Sebastian the demon made a deal with Ciel that he would be Ciel’s obedient ’dog’ until their contract was up, and Sebastian would then eat Ciel’s soul. This whole theme of contracts and deals is pretty common in these fantasy mangas. If we apply that logic to TPN, the contract/deal/promise could possibly be that The One grants Emma the chance to live in the human world with her family, but her body/soul will belong to Him once her time on earth is up.

I’m not sure if I’m overanalyzing, but this makes a lot of sense to me, I would love to hear others’ thoughts on this too.
