Chapter 91 Recap

So to recap, I sent somebody an ask about chapter 91 and I'm gonna elaborate a bit more on what happened in this chapter for anyone who isn't deep in the series anymore/isn't sure what's going on.

From the very beginning of the series, we've known that if you uncover the truth of all the yorishiro, something will happen. As confirmed by the most recent chapter, if you destroy all yorishiro then god will grant you a wish.

While Hanako had a bunch of perfect excuses at the time, he wanted to get rid of the yorishiro from the very beginning - and him already having been a rule-breaker and outcast when he was alive, it always felt strange for him to be so set on keeping up the peace because somebody told him so. It's convenient and using his power gave him the chance to destroy the yorishiro up to this point. We know by all of his past actions that he lies, he bends things, and he has other ulterior motives. These motives are usually protecting the people he cares for and especially Yashiro.

But Yashiro isn't what made him a supernatural. In order to become a supernatural after you die, you need to have regret. And the stronger your regret and emotion, the stronger of a supernatural you will be. Your yorishiro symbolises what that regret is and is always associated with it.

Hanako's greatest regret is having killed Tsukasa and everything concerning Tsukasa's death. Tsukasa is the only one with a solid connection to Hanako and he bears the seal all yorishiro do - and at the point we found out that Sumire was No.6's yorishiro, we knew that people can be a yorishiro too. Not just objects, as seen with the other numbers.

To Tsukasa's surprise, Hanako knows this. Hanako knew from the very beginning that if he destroyed all yorishiro, he would be granted a wish. And upon his death, what was the thing he'd probably wish for the most? It has to do with his greatest regret.

But things changed and Hanako wishes for Yashiro to live. He admitted as much, he said it in his conversation with Yashiro. And as soon as he admitted that openly, Tsukasa appears and urges him to kill him.

They both know what Hanako needs to do and that's why Tsukasa holds his hands with the knife and says "Let's do it." Because fulfilling Hanako's wish and destroying the yorishiro, at this point it's something only the two of them can do.

That means Hanako has to repeat what started all of this and kill his brother again. Not only that, he needs to make a decision - because there is more than one wish he has, but only one will be granted.

And that ignores all the other implications, no matter how you interpret Tsukasa's behaviour and the reveal about Natsuhiko. Even if he makes a choice now, there is no guarantee as to how things will turn out.

So that means we need to wait another month! Thanks for reading.
