(pounding my desk) them them thEM THEM—
My package had no status updates for 10 days, and I was starting to worry, but it randomly showed up today! I love love love Iori and Mikuni’s badges so much
Tumblr media
I have no dedicated spot for the badges so they’re just lining multiple shelves lol
Tumblr media
I HAVE BEEN SO EXCITED FOR THESE PICS. That Mikuni Tsurugi pic means the world to me. I want so badly to use them as bookmarks, but I don’t want them to get ruined either ;u;
Tumblr media
HMMMMMNGHGGNMGH ✨ THEM ✨
Tumblr media
It’s truly awful when books include posters that have printed one continuous image on both sides of the poster… so you have to choose which 50% of the poster you want facing outwards if you want to hang it up šŸ’€ like why
Tumblr media
I love this picture so much lmao, like ah yes — blond, perfect, and Jeje. The goal. The whole package.

Actually feeling really emotional about strike’s response to a fan asking what the rest of the alicein family think of mikado bc it’s so so realistic and heartbreaking, actually
They can’t approve of his actions and they know he’s made a bunch of mistakes but they still love him and their love is at war with their sense of right and wrong because he’s not just a distant figure who Fucked Up to them, he’s their family
They know better than anyone just how much of a hard worker he is and they know better than anyone that for all his faults he loves his family and they know better than anyone how he has never forgiven himself, even a little bit, but…
It’s difficult. Because they love him. They want him to do the right thing. It’s difficult. They’re disappointed in him. Because they love him.
He’s a deeply flawed man whose insecurities were so deep he even came to fear his eldest child because he felt like all of his flaws were on display and what good is he if he’s not the perfect figure at the head he needs to be? What’s the point if he’s not able to project the illusion of being worthy?
But despite those flaws, he’s also a man whose strength lies in him having a lot of love to give. To his family. To the children. To his employees who he sees as family.
I think it really enhances the gothic tragedy of the Alicein, torn apart by secrets and lies and envy and lust but… Also love.
Because it wouldn’t hurt so bad if the love wasn’t there.

Servamp's Pandoras: Kiriko and Akira
So the choice to make Saint Germain's headless monstrous form "Pandora" comes with a lot of baggage from ancient myths. I discussed this focusing on Tetsu's association with Prometheus in this post here, but Pandora herself deserves more attention.
There are many characters who could be associated with Pandora in the context of Servamp, but the most interesting to consider are Kiriko and Akira.
The legend of Pandora was that the Greek gods sent the first woman down to Earth to punish and tempt mankind, and Pandora dropped a jar (mistranslated as a box) that unleashed evils into the world. Only Elpis, Hope, remained in the jar.
Kiriko unleashed the vampire war onto Tokyo by stealing the Alicein family head's key and releasing Tsubaki, dispersing evil into the world. Pandora's myth later often became intertwined with the biblical tale of Adam and Eve. Eve was tempted into consuming food from a forbidden tree in the Garden of Eden by a snake. Kiriko was tempted by the power of Envy whose form is a snake in a manor associated with a garden (Alice in the Garden). Both were punished after obtaining power, Eve with painful childbirth and Kiriko with the madness that eventually consumes all of Jeje's eves. The children she raised, Mikuni and Misono, are associated with the children of Eve, Cain and Abel.
The child of Pandora, Pyrrha, is associated with the Ancient Greek version of the flood myth. What was Mikuni's Re-Servamp other than a biblical flood destroying everything that existed because the world was too sinful in his eyes? Mikuni clearly saw this parallel as he named the Ninth Servamp Noah, the chosen survivor of the biblical flood myth. Even Mikuni's vaguely incestuous wish to recreate his brother by marrying his father's mistress has its roots in the explicit incest from the flood myth in Genesis.
Akira unleashed evil on the world through the study of forbidden magic and by tempting Touma with a path to infamy. (As it's highly implied that the study of revival/immortality magic is what gave him the idea to try to use Saint Germain's revival to intentionally cause a disaster). One of the Greek gods who sent Pandora was Zeus, the Greek god of Thunder. Akira's brother, Tooru is full of thunder and lightning imagery and is directly given a C3 role named Thor, another mythological deity associated with thunder. After Pandora dispersed evil on the world, hope still remained. Mahiru's attack that he uses to come to understand the hearts of his enemies is Elpis. Mahiru himself is the hope left from Akira's Pandora's Box.

[On Iori and Shirayuki]
Finding out just how physically weak and slow Iori is — especially compared to the rest of his family — is interesting for me.
Shirayuki’s full profile paints a more complete picture of who she is. She was the president of C3’s Tokyo branch, enjoys watching professional wrestling as a hobby, dreams of getting another chance to battle Gear (lol), practices radio workouts daily, and values being seen as ā€œstrong.ā€ Her weakest subject in school was home economics. She has a clear affinity for fighting (further proven by Miyako’s quote in the final chapter, referring to Shirayuki as the Tokyo branch’s number one battle-crazed Mom.)
When we first learned that Shirayuki was responsible for trying to keep Iori away from the combat team, it wasn’t exactly a strange concept. She’s his mother, and regardless of his talents with barrier magic, it makes sense that she would be concerned about him getting hurt. She’s also well acquainted with that world, and likely understands first-hand how easy it is to be killed in that job.
But after seeing the Tsukimitsu family’s profiles in the guidebook, I can’t help but wonder if Shirayuki’s concern for Iori wasn’t so much about ā€œa mother’s love for her son,ā€ but rather, being specifically concerned that Iori wasn’t built for fighting.
(Which is not to say she doesn’t love Iori. She does! She even has a high-scoring ā€œfamily loveā€ parameter on her chart!)
For a clearer picture, here are some stat scores listed on their profiles:
(Physical strength/speed/mental)
Iori: 3/4/7
Miyako: 8/8/8
Yumi: 5/7/6
Shirayuki: 5/3/9
(Iori’s lack of physical strength is double confirmed on one of the alignment graphs included in the Q&A section, where he’s a lot closer to the ā€œphysically weakā€ side of the chart.
Also, to help put things into perspective a bit more — Mikado is noted to be physically ungifted, and his physical strength score is a 2. Iori is almost as physically untalented as Mikado lol.)
Iori is slightly faster than his mother, and has slightly better mental prowess than his younger brother — but that’s pretty much it. His listed top skills involve him being good at cooperative efforts/listening to others’ opinions and taking them into consideration. And, of course, his barrier magic.
When it comes to the other two -- Yumikage is on the combat team, but Shirayuki doesn’t give him a hard time about it (at least, not that we’ve been shown.) Same goes for Miyako. She was in the kendo club in school, has a very high score for physical strength, and has shown her skills in the actual story, like in the battle against Tsubaki by the hospital. In general, it feels like Shirayuki isn’t nearly as strict with them about avoiding combat. (Still strict, for sure — just not as much as with Iori.)
Shirayuki clearly still worries about her younger kids, but if their trait scores are anything to go by, it would stand within reason to consider — maybe she trusts Miyako and Yumikage can defend themselves in battle, but she has doubts about whether Iori can do the same.
The guidebook had a Q&A that explained how even though Iori is powerful, his magic is geared more towards defense, and he needs to be paired with a strong partner in order to be a real threat. When it comes to Iori’s choice in friends/partners, I imagine Shirayuki wasn’t too keen on the idea of his safety being in Touma’s hands, and expecting Tooru to protect Iori by himself would be unreasonable.
The fact that Iori joined the combat team at 17, and then was forced into the president’s role less than a year later, really speaks volumes about how desperate Shirayuki was to keep Iori away from fighting.
I also can’t help feeling Iori’s obsession with joining the combat team was less about the fighting, and more about knowing both Touma and Tooru were going to be on the combat team. He didn’t want to get left behind by his friends…
(FWIW: This analysis is based on the assumption Iori’s skill chart pertains to his pre-injury stats. If the stats listed on his profile are only relevant after he ended up gravely injured… well, then none of this is relevant! Lol)

Not me crying over the Q&A section of the guidebook— the stuff below is absolutely not everything, just the parts I enjoyed the most.
-Oh my god, there is an alignment chart for a bunch of the characters showing ā€œPopular VS Unpopular, Receives lots of valentines VS Doesn’t receive many valentinesā€. Iori and MIkuni are the two most popular characters (with Lily in close third) but Mikuni is slightly more popular than Iori. Iori, however, receives more valentine gifts than Mikuni (but they are both extremely popular. That’s that trust fund money at work, baby.) Touma is very popular, but doesn’t seem to get many valentines lol
Other alignment charts:
-Housework skills and frequency of chores performed (Mahiru wins at this chart obviously lol. Yumi is second place after Mahiru.) Iori is apparently awful at house work and doesn’t do it often, I’m assuming he has a cleaning person. Touma is amazing at house work, but doesn’t do it much. Tsurugi does tons of house work… but is apparently terrible at it lmao.
-Muscle capability/strength and weight. Hugh and Misono are the lightest and ā€œsoftestā€ fighters lol, while Tsurugi is very light but incredibly muscular/strong. Ildio is the heaviest/strongest fighter. Iori is fairly ā€œlightā€ and not very strong, and Touma is stronger/heavier than him by a fair bit. I’ve always wondered about that, so I’m happy to have this chart.
-A chart showing ā€œhigh energy when drunkā€ versus ā€œfalls asleepā€ and also alcohol tolerance level lmao. So Nico is the one who gets the most smashed when drunk, but his alcohol tolerance is very high. Touma comes in second place, with Gear and Otogiri in third/fourth. Yumi has the lowest tolerance, but gets incredibly energetic when drunk. Mikuni has high tolerance, but gets really sleepy when he’s drunk. Iori has poor alcohol tolerance levels, but he gets sleepy when he’s drunk instead of wired. And I love that for him… I love that for myself 😭
That’s all for alignment charts!
-Tanaka confirms Iori receives the most valentines gifts, but pretty much all of them are obligatory. That makes me sad ;u;
-Iori plays the violin. Which is not shocking in any way, but it’s nice to have confirmation c:
-Mikuni and Tsurugi apparently have the most horrendous handwriting skills out of everyone by a long shot lol
-Mahiru dreamed of becoming a teacher when he first entered high school ;u;
-Mahiru was 7 years old when his mom died.
-Iori was the one Tooru was talking to on the phone when he and Mahiru met Tsubaki at the sushi restaurant. He was also the one on the phone with Tooru when he was bragging about Mahiru during that one flashback. Which isn’t really relevant to anything except I love how Tooru openly discussed Mahiru with Iori and Iori was just like, ah yes… Touma’s son… I mean, Tooru’s adorable nephew.
-Tanaka confirms Misono continues to grow taller as he becomes an adult lmao
-Misono was 9 when he made his contract with Lily.
-Tanaka talks about how Mikado loves Mikuni, but it doesn’t always seem that way because he was also afraid of how smart Mikuni is
-Mikado knew Mikuni had gone to C3 after running away, and specifically asked them to protect him. Mikuni was in C3 for about three years.
-Tsurugi was affected by ā€œMy Fair Ladyā€ because even though he had only killed vampires up to that point, he carried the guilt of having killed someone. Mikuni looked shocked when Tsurugi began to choke because he didn’t think Tsurugi had actually killed anyone until then.
-Mikuni left C3 just before he turned 20, and opened his shop a year later.
-Mikuni and Tsurugi specifically don’t like being addressed by their family names, because… well, you can imagine lol. So they prefer to be called by their first names.
-Mikuni opened a shop because he wanted a place to store all of the magic items he had collected over his travels. He also wanted to put up a false smile in front of C3 to put them at ease about what he was getting up to.
-Mikuni was seven when he proposed to Hokaze 😭
-Mikuni loved Misono a lot and would stop to play with him whenever he wanted 😭 😭 STOP
-Oh my god, Mikuni would force Jeje to perform difficult jobs in order for them to get enough money to travel abroad, where they would then sell magic items to other magicians around the world. He’s such a prick, I love him so much.
-Apparently, Johan showed up one day in Mikuni’s shop and just started doing whatever he wanted and that’s how they met. Lmaooo.
-Jeje receives blood from Mikuni sometimes, but only after Mikuni himself has put it into a container.
-Tetsu’s other sister is a shogi player and her name is Kaoru (Oh, sure, SHE gets a name 😤 )
-Apparently Licht introduced Lawless to his parents as ā€œthe demon I purifiedā€ and his parents are just happy he’s found a friend ;u;
-Freya feels she gets along best with Lawless. Lawless apparently disagrees.
-Tanaka gives a scale of ā€œmental degradation due to magic abuseā€ stages.
Stage 1: You can hear people but can’t make out what they’re saying.
Stage 2: You start to hallucinate faceless people.
Stage 3: More hallucinations and memory confusion.
Stage 4: Retirement
She also notes that during stages 1-3, a magician can recover over time if they don’t use their magic. I’m assuming stage 4 this isn’t possible, and I’m pretty sure that’s what stage Iori is at now, since he even mentions retiring in the final chapter. But that’s not explicitly stated.
-Tsurugi’s mom hid the fact she had a child. She left Tsurugi behind after she found another man and ran off with him.
-MIKUNI, APPARENTLY, DOES NOT PROTEST THE SIGHT OF TSURUGI. He is fine with how Tsurugi looks. It’s only when Tsurugi is speaking that Mikuni wants to fling himself into the dark void.
-Someone asked how Akira and Touma got close, but Tanaka only says to leave it up to everyone’s imagination
-Confirmation that Touma had feelings for Akira, and wasn’t the kind of person who would date someone for the sole purpose of hurting someone else (like Tooru.)
-Touma’s scarf is a magic item that makes his invisibility magic stronger apparently
-Touma was angry that Iori saved his life and he owed a debt to someone he deemed the worst type of person. But while he was crashing at Iori’s apartment, he was free to use anything he wanted apparently. Don’t know if that’s info I needed, but I’m happy to have it now.
-When Gear and Touma were staring at each other in that one popularity poll page, Touma was apparently thinking ā€œSo this is the werewolf Tsurugi is related toā€¦ā€ While Gear is thinking, ā€œSo this is Tsurugi’s brother… that makes him my grandson, too.ā€ PLEASE. GEAR, TRY CALLING TOUMA YOUR GRANDSON. I would die to see that played out lmao.
-Confirmation that when Touma said, ā€œI’ll drag him down!ā€ In that one flashback, he WAS talking about Iori. I knew he was, but it’s nice to have the cold hard proof lol.
-Touma took on Tsurugi’s debts, and Tsurugi pays him back.
-Touma became the vice president at 33. At 33?!?! Holy frick I didn’t realize his promotion from the combat team happened so recently compared to the series timeline. That’s wild. Iori took fifteen years to convince his mother Touma was right for the position (/jk on that last sentence)
-Yumi quit the archery team in high school because he felt he was following the path forced on him by his parents and older brother.
-Miyako and Kei met during a flight. Miyako was really worn down, and Kei’s kindness touched her heart and she quickly fell in love, so from that moment on, she pursued Kei with a lot of passion. I can’t believe we actually got an answer to that question 😭
-Miyako knew about Iori’s real plan the entire time. Which was pretty obvious, but confirmation is still nice.
-All of the Tsukimitsu kids cross dress when they’re drunk 😭 😭 But Iori is careful not to get blackout drunk in front of other people. Bless you for this little nugget of sustainment.
-A C3 agent who moved overseas couldn’t take their hamsters with them, which was how Iori ended up with them, and he just decided to keep them.
-Iori suspected Mikuni could be working alongside Tsubaki when he met him in the control room, but he didn’t know for sure yet.
-Shirayuki met her husband through an arranged marriage and he joined her family. He left C3 early on so he could better support Shirayuki’s schedule. So that pretty much confirms he was a househusband, yes? I think so 😌 (BUT HE WASN’T GIVEN A NAME, AAAAAAAAA—)
-Mikuni didn’t go to college. Shuhei did, and Touma went to college with Iori and Tooru. I love knowing that. I am so happy to know that ;u;
-Iori met Tooru in their third year of elementary school and they became friends after Tooru spoke to him. Tooru would try to talk to Touma in middle school, but Touma ignored him. Iori used to avoid Touma because he knew about Touma’s home life, but after seeing how much Tooru wanted to be friends with him and how hostile Touma was to them, he started becoming interested in him. (Bless Iori for being brave enough to admit his crush started when Touma was the first person to tell him to fuck off.)
-The three of them became friends because Touma was already on the combat team at 15, and when they joined C3 at 17, they wanted to get on the combat team as well. So they all ended up connecting in that manner.
-Working at C3 while a student was easy thanks to flexible scheduling, so the three of them were able to work at C3 and attend university at the same time.
-Iori and Tooru would compete in cross dressing competitions in high school, just like Yumi and Tsurugi 😭 bless
-They don’t typically drink so much that they get drunk. They know the party is over once Iori starts getting sleepy ;u; because he has low tolerance… adorable.
-Tooru likes simple soy sauce ramen, Touma likes tonkotsu, and Iori likes shio ramen.
-Iori, Miyako, and Yumi are all really good at singing ;w; Thank you, that’s good to know.
-In addition to Gear and Yotarou completing odd jobs, Yotarou has an online store where he sells magic clothes and items that he makes.
-Gear rescued a woman (one of Tsurugi’s ancestors) he had become friends with by using his powers to help heal her/bring her back to life. He was afraid what people would do to her/them if they found out about it, so he ran off before the woman woke up and found out what had happened. It sounds possible she had no idea she had been given werewolf genes in order to survive.

Guidebook spoilers? Idk, I’m gonna treat it as spoilers for now lmao (Okay, I’m done editing this post. There is still a LOT of material I haven’t even touched yet, but I’ll make a new post if I need to scream about it later. I gotta take a break now lol)
MIKUNI RESPECTS/ADMIRES HIS GRANDFATHER
I KNEW IT
I LOVE YOU MIKUNIIIIII
EDIT1: He dreams of giving a best man speech at Shuhei’s wedding, god I love him I LOVE HIM
EDIT2: Damn, looking at Mikuni’s parameters, he really took a hit after getting the finger wagged at him… how on earth did he lose two mental points? LOL I guess working with Tsurugi will do that to ya
EDIT3: Oh my god Mikado has a birthday finally OH AND AN AGE CONFIRMATION (he’s 51, then post-time skip he’s 52)
EDIT4: Mikado and Mikuni both respecting Mikage is really cute…
EDIT5: Oh no, not Kiriko’s birthday being so close to Misono’s birthday ;u; Oh no my heart
EDIT6: OH NO NOT KIRIKO’S DREAM BEING ā€œTo cry at my son’s weddingā€ NO PLEASE STOP—
EDIT7: WHy… WHY… WHY would you confirm that Tsurugi’s phonecall at the end of the series is not a call with Mahiru, but refuse to say who it really was?! WHYYYY
EDIT8: LMAOOOO Touma’s favorite animal being ā€œanything but hamstersā€
There’s an interesting tidbit in here about Touma, Yoshimasa, and Shuhei. During the battle with Tsubaki when Touma was 19, Touma was gravely injured, and as a result, he used his invisibility technique to try and hide all of them from Tsubaki’s sight. He encouraged Yoshimasa to retreat, insisting they could lose one agent if it meant keeping others alive. When Shamrock killed Yoshimasa in retaliation, Touma felt responsible for his death because of his decision to retreat, and that’s part of why he ended up promoting Shuhei to his third in command.
I know that Touma has emotions, but we honestly didn’t get to see them show through a whole lot, they were mostly implied here and there. I would love to see Touma, Iori and Tooru’s early days, honestly…
EDIT9: STOP STOP STOP, YUMIKAGE ADMIRES IORI???? Iā€M GONNA THROW UP I—
EDIT10: ALL OF THE TSUKIMITSU CHILDREN WERE VOTED ā€œMOST BEAUTIFULā€ IN HIGH SCHOOL. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for that useless but completely life changing fact.
EDIT11: Junichiro was on the combat team with Tooru for a time, and apparently was really fond of him. That’s so adorable 😭
EDIT12: Oh god, Tooru’s ā€œthing I’d like to try one dayā€ answer is ā€œI’d like to learn how my sister and Touma metā€ BRO. NO. There are some doors you just keep shut forever.
EDIT13: Akira was 33 at the time of her death, fwiw
EDIT14: Guys, help me, I just got to Iori’s profile… wish me luck
EDIT15: IORI CONFIRMED TO HAVE BEEN MARRIED AT 31 THROUGH AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE. They divorced within a year. Iori says he discovered the only thing in life he has no talent for is being a family man. Y’ALL Iā€M I’m just fucking dead. I’m gone. Deceased.
EDIT16: Iori dreams of one day living on a deserted island (but specifically notes he only wants to try it for a little while)… I love him. I love him I love him I LOVE HIM—
EDIT17: Iori being confirmed as not very physically strong means everything to me
EDIT18: Iori refers to Miyako as his little brother (sister) in his family list, which I think is cute. He also lists his hamsters as family, which is just freaking adorable. I love him so much.
EDIT19: Iori’s favorite hobby is ā€œcoming up with nicknames for people in my head.ā€ I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.
EDIT20: He buys a lot of oden at the grocery store… his daily routine is ā€œhamster careā€ā€¦ his favorite place in the world is the balcony of his apartment… I love him so much 😭
EDIT21: MIYAKO!!
ā€œWho do you respect/admire?ā€
Miyako: My big brother (sort of)
NO, PLEASE, that’s exactly what I thought she would say to something like that I’m sobbing
She is the chief C3 manager of the information network.
She was in the kendo club in high school! Also, she apparently outpaces Iori in a lot of ways omg.
Strength: 8/10
Tactics: 7/10
Mental: 8/10
Speed: 8/10
(And Beauty ofc was 10/10 lol)
Meanwhile, her cooperative score was lower than Iori’s, hers was only 4/10 (Iori was 6/10)
Miyako dreams of one day getting to discuss beauty and makeup amongst three generations of mothers and daughters… she wants to have a child to talk beauty with 😭 I’m not crying, YOU’RE crying
Miyako got to wear a wedding dress, and Kei got to wear a tux on their wedding day, and they were both very happy about it. Oh my god I just… this guidebook has given me purpose in life again.
Also, Miyako’s most purchased convenience store item being ā€œenergy drinksā€ lmao
It also sounds like Miyako, like Yumi, rides motorcycles. I love them so much.
EDIT22: Shirayuki is 62 (63 post-finale.) That means she had Iori when she was about 26, Miyako when she was about 28, and Yumi when she was about 36. Which isn’t relevant to anything unless you’re like me and you write about their family nonstop and all of this info is so freaking invaluable, you have no idea.
-When Gear came to Tokyo 40 years earlier to look for Kuro, Shirayuki ended up battling Gear during one of his rampages. After their battle, the two apparently ended up respecting one another. Her dream is to get to battle Gear again someday lmao
-Her worst subject is home economics, and it says her favorite food is ā€œozoni cooked by [her husband.]ā€ Coupled with a few other answers, I’m going to say it’s likely her husband was the one taking care of the home and the kids when they were younger, which I always had as my headcanon and I love that for them. Shirayuki has a ā€œfamily loveā€ skill of 8/10, but also she’s apparently obsessed with battling, and she was probably very busy as the C3 president of the Tokyo branch, so she probably didn’t get to see the kids as much until they were able to go to work with her. At least, that’s my own little brainchild thought~
-No sign of Tsukimitsu dad’s name yet. That’s frustrating lmao.
-Also, I just want to point out that even Shirayuki is stronger physically than Iori. Lol.
-SHIRAYUKI’S FAVORITE CONVENIENCE STORE ITEM TO BUY IS CUP RAMEN, BUT SHE ONLY DOES IT IN SECRET. Is it because she doesn’t want her kids to see her eating bad foods after she spent all day telling them to be healthy? Or is it specifically because Iori can’t have ramen while he’s recovering, and she doesn’t want to rub it in his face? Either way, I think it’s hilarious that she has a lot of the personality traits she specifically tries to steer the children away from fjfjflkdsl
-I like how her favorite hobby is to watch wrestling. Also, her favorite quote being ā€œsurvival of the fittestā€ is so funny to me. She enjoys being viewed as ā€œstrongā€ too.
EDIT23: Sigurd is 41 (42 post-finale.) I envisioned him being around that age — just slightly older than Iori — so I like that.
-Sigurd’s favorite hobby is golf. I don’t know why I find that so funny, but I do. I thought for sure shooting would be his hobby, but it was listed under favorite subjects instead.
-HE HAS A WIFE??? And a sister apparently… BUT A WIFE? Someone can actually stand being around him, but not Iori? Lmfao
-But it’s really cute how his favorite day-off activity is to go jogging with their dog… adorable.
-Gear threatened to kick the crap out of Sigurd for using Tsurugi as a pawn, but Sigurd apparently bought his way out of trouble by gifting Gear and Yotarou tons of sweets and tea lol
EDIT24: Gear confirmed to be over 1000 years old, but apparently it’s unclear his exact age. He lists his family as ā€œYotarou, plus all the other grandchildren (self-proclaimed)ā€ lol. Omg and he dreams of writing a bestselling novel, so cute.
-Yotarou made Abel, and it was confiscated by C3 at some point, which is how she then made her way into Mikado’s hands. I can’t remember if that was ever explicitly stated, even though that’s kind of what we figured.
-Oh my god… Gear worried about Yotarou being around him, so one day, he just returned to London without saying anything. Yotarou was devastated, and once he was old enough, he used his knowledge of Gear to track him to London and just showed up on his doorstep, and that’s when they began living together. Oh my god that’s so cute???
-There is a whole section dedicated to profiles for the characters (or at least a handful of characters) during Mikuni’s mirror world universe. Very interesting.
-Tanaka explains that Mahiru learned his ā€œsimpleā€ thinking from his uncle, but since Tooru learned it from his big sister — Touma Mahiru was able to learn the ā€œsimplyā€ mindset from his mother in that universe.
-Okay there’s a lot to unpack about the mirror world, but there’s one note from Tanaka about Mikuni, Touma and Iori that pretty much confirms what we already suspected. Mikuni and Iori are apparently not far apart in terms of logic skills, but Mikuni’s slip up was assuming that Touma and Iori shared habits similar to his own. Namely, not being able to rely on others to get results. She specifically says that Mikuni believed Iori couldn’t stop him by himself (which was true,) but he also assumed Iori wouldn’t rely on the others for their assistance. So when Touma and Sigurd helped Iori with his plan, Mikuni wasn’t expecting it.
-LOL HOKAZE IS 38 IN THE MIRROR WORLD. She is about 15 years older than Mikuni. I mean, we already knew she was much older, but I love that for him.
-Oh my god, okay, here’s a note from Tanaka about the mirror world: She says she wanted to have time to depict a scene where Tsurugi/Noah is a mix of the two, but then when Tsurugi sees Touma happy and smiling with his family, he begins to think to himself, ā€œMaybe the world really is better without me in it,ā€ and that’s when Tsurugi gets suppressed fully by Noah, until the real Touma shows up to pull Tsurugi back. I would have loved to see that, and it would have made Tsurugi’s transformation into Noah feel more fluid honestly.
-Nico died at 27, because World End never made a contract with him and wasn’t there to rescue him.

This is what I imagine Tsurugi and Mikuni’s business trips are like
