Tsumugi “Shirogane” and Kaede “Akamatsu” May Have Coded Names...

[Long post & lots of cipher stuff. It’s a bit complicated but I tried to explain everything the best I could]

In my time investigating ciphers for my analysis of Rantaro’s lab, I came across this interesting cipher key that had been historically used by ninja:

So the reason this caught my interest is because the names Kaede “Akamatsu” and Tsumugi “Shirogane” fit this cipher key really well. And since I concluded in another post that Rantaro’s lab, a lab filled with ciphers, had more connections to Kaede and Tsumugi than anyone else, I figured this was worth looking into.

The top row of the cipher key represents colors: 紫 (purple) 黒 (black) 白 (white) 赤 (red) 黄 (yellow) 青(blue) 色 (color), and the side column are radicalized forms of the kanji 木 (tree) 火 (fire) 土 (earth) 金 (metal) 水 (water) 人 (person) 身 (body).

[A radical is a kanji component—multiple can be put together to create a new kanji. When a kanji character is radicalized, it’s made smaller and sometimes changes forms, so that it may be used as a component in another kanji].

As shown in this chart, the cipher works by combining a color kanji character and one of the radicals to create a new kanji character, and the created character is associated with its own hiragana character. Using this method, the ninja created a coded language.

For example, with this chart, the word ねこ (neko; meaning cat) would be written in code using these characters:

So now that we know how it works, let’s go back to Kaede Akamatsu and Tsumugi Shirogane...

赤松 (Akamatsu; lit. “red pine tree”) and 白銀 (Shirogane; lit. “white silver/metal”) are both names that could be derived from this chart. And along with the matching meaning, their names even have the proper radical/kanji components that would fit the chart:

And, of course, we can actually plug these components into the chart to get the hiragana character that correlates with it:

白銀 Shirogane; 白 white + 金 metal:

赤松 Akamatsu; 赤 red + 木 tree:

And it looks like the hiragana characters associated with their names are ふ (fu) for Tsumugi and ら (ra) for Kaede.

Now unfortunately, these characters don’t really mean anything. No matter how they’re arranged, they don’t form any Japanese word that would have any sort of significance.

But... There’s an interesting correlation between the two if we reference the kanji used in the iroha poem.

I mentioned it in my analysis of the vault doors in Rantaro’s lab, but basically, the いろは (iroha) poem is an ancient, famous poem that’s often used as a way to order hiragana characters; with one of its most common uses being within ciphers. It’s even used in the cipher we’re talking about in this post—the hiragana characters in the chart are following the exact order of the iroha poem.

The poem is most commonly written in hiragana, but originally, the poem itself was written entirely in kanji, with each kanji representing one hiragana sound, i.e. each hiragana character has an accompanying kanji character.

So for fun, I looked to see what the accompanying kanji character for Tsumugi Shirogane ふ and Kaede Akamatsu ら :

And the result is the kanji 不 for Tsumugi, and the kanji 良 for Kaede. I found this result to be prettyyy interesting because the meanings of these kanji are polar opposite; if they were words, they would be almost perfect antonyms.

不 (ふ) : bad, negative

良 (ら) : good, pleasing

So Tsumugi’s associated with “bad/negative” and Kaede’s associated with “good.”

So what can we make of all of this?

Well, feel free to make your own conclusions, but here is where my mind immediately went...

Kaede Akamatsu: the color red and good, pleasant, things—these associations could be represented by a red smiling face.

Tsumugi Shirogane: the color white and bad, negative things—these associations could be represented by a white crying face.

Kinda like...

People: If Zhongli and Venti had a child it would Xiao.

Me: WRONG.  If Zhongli and Venti had a child it would be Dan Heng.

Tall, Dark Haired, Elegant, Sussy, Green, Windy, Dragon Boy.  Full of dangerous secrets up to his eyeballs who can troll and lie with a straight face right to your face with no hesitation.  

Who also tolerates an extremely loud and exuberant and mischievous Best Friend/Potential Love Interest that forces them into dealing with the world rather than hiding away and brooding with their books and their tea that they absolutely did not ask for and did not want until it was far too late to back out of the friendship but would now gladly die for.  All while hiding their giant heart eyes with dry sass and a scowl…

People saying Dazai has done more for Sigma than anyone else when my man has been constantly risking his life to save people since before leaving the mafia. He risked his life (and the city) to give Chuuya a choice at 16, he tried to risk his life for Oda in dark era, he risked his life and actually flat lined in Dazai's entrance exam, he risked his life for the agency and got shot, he risked his life during dead apple and has been super gentle with Chuuya after every use of corruption barring the fight with lovecraft, he is now risking his life for Sigma. I am sorry but Dazai has always been a normal person with severe mental illness exploited by his environment and those around him till he was left feeling inhuman and desperate for death. He has been trying again and again and I hate ya'll for acting like this is the first time he's been nice or self sacrificing since the series started.

Edit: it wasn't DEE it was 55 minutes where his heart stopped and Yosano healed him. I mixed that up somehow.

Ppl saying "Ohhhh Gojo is Kakashi's rip off" before Gege's interviews and without actually watching the series

But in reality -

Especially after Gege confirmed how much hxh has inspired him as a mangaka

[kinakomochi-78]

It’s so funny that the three people who canonically find Dazai #relatable are Mori, Fyodor, and Verlaine.

What an insane lineup of horrible men. I think that alone would make me change my entire personality if I were him. First everyone finds him incredibly annoying and then those motherfuckers show up and are like “actually, no, Dazai’s great. He just gets me.” I’d be reconsidering all of my life decisions.

[kinakomochi-78]

i want dazai (bsd) and kurama (yu yu hakusho) to meet i feel like they'd get along

[kinakomochi-78]

no no no, actually, the best ship dynamic is smug nerd x unending rage machine.

[kinakomochi-78]

kurapika, about to enter emperor time and kill the rest of the phantom troupe: so i take it none of you bastards are familiar with something called “the avatar state” right

[kinakomochi-78]

Yeah girl you are so *Dazai isn’t unemotional he’s never been unemotional he latches onto everyone and everything and clings so fucking hard he leaves claw marks on everything he lets go of; he leaves Chuuya and the Mafia for Oda and then gets thoroughly addicted to Kunikida who resembles them both so much, he ‘trains’ and ‘raises’ Akutagawa for survival in the Port Mafia and screws up so badly he obsesses over Atsushi to try and make up for it, Ango was his best friend and Dazai fucks him over just so he can hold onto him yet still leaves claw marks in Ango’s side, he is every age he has ever been and ever will be and what’s awful is that sometimes his love is too similar to his hate* haha lmao wanna fuck nasty?

[kinakomochi-78]

He’s right. They used to be Zarc, but not anymore. These are four separate people with their own personalities now.

csm brainrot. can't decide who i want kyle to be

[kinakomochi-78]

sorry but i can’t take anyone who says tony was just as wrong in civil war seriously because if you just left your tony hate at the door and watched the movie you’d see that he tried to do everything right but team cap are the ones who escalated things. they refused to sign the accords even though they could have worked to make adjustments to them as time went on, caused havoc because of bucky, had wanda throw vision through several floors and initiated the fight at the airport. tony also was holding himself back in that fight because steve and bucky would’ve been dead in a heartbeat but that’s not the outcome he wanted and how was he repaid? by having a shield slammed in his chest and left to die. and you want me to believe what he did was just as bad? be fucking serious.
