i always feel bad when i see how the point of a lot of saiki's personality traits flew right over the heads of a lot of fans due to him being an unreliable narrator and a tsundere lol.. so a lot of things he says are immediately proved to be untrue and often just him putting up a front, but some people dont pick up on it..
like i see a lot of "haha saiki would never want to watch a romance movie" guys there is an entire chapter (170) dedicated to him being like "i much prefer mysteries to romance stories.." and then immediately becoming absolutely enamored with a romance story.. he was lying, guys, LMAO
less specific ones include:
"i hate children, they annoy me" *goes out of his way to help kids, comfort them, be kind to them, etc.*
"i only use my powers for self gain/my own convenience." "anyway my mama told me to never use my powers selfishly so i always use them to help people and i try my best not to use them for personal gain<3"
"those guys are so annoying, i would never hang out with them willingly." "yeah it took them about two sentences to convince me to go with them. their thoughts seemed like they really wanted me to go, so i did. i didnt want them to be upset. not that i care about them or anything."
(sorry i post about this kind of thing a lot, i just giggle a lot at how the entire manga is so easily misinterpreted and thousands of people have watched the show but didnt pick up on the main characters most defining character traits and frequent bits.. i think there needs to be a masterlist or something disproving all the extremely common misconceptions about saiki k lol)

somewhere else?
some ramblings below:
something something, jon landed in erebus and was healed from the stab wound by the time he woke up. he's still connected to the eye and has been able to manage on his own more or less, but he's generally been nerfed and is also struggling to concentrate as an effect of erebus being a place the eye can't really see.
he meets melinoe in the fountain chamber, where he's been able to catch his breathe and try to think about what to do next, and how to reach martin, who he's been separated from. the chamber has the added benefit of being spider free, probably thanks to the cat that frequents the area.
martin is in the fields of mourning, however jon isn't able to see that far deep into the underworld, much less be able to go down there himself. he can, at the very least, sense that he IS there somewhere. martin probably assumes that jon is dead, and some mix of of the lonely and being in the fields has him doing not so well :( can eventually be found by melinoe, sitting alone in a chamber next to one of those statues that watch you
uhh something something, eventually they're reunited and get a happy ending xD
