Tsukasa stabbing people in the chest/middle area because he got stabbed in his chest. I think that’s why he does that often.

TBHK CHAPTER 109 SPOILERS (ENDING)

Analysis + mini theory

don’t click if you don’t want to be spoiled !!

I’m the self proclaimed #1 Akane fan and like this chapter has destroyed me. It’s sent me PACING around my room just thinking about it.

This going to be all over the place, very long and probably a bit hard to read but I’ll keep it together as best as I can.

The Yorishoro situation. Akane human with human insides and obviously if ripped open he’ll die but as a clock keeper does he have similar insides to Mirai and Kako? They easily were defeated as that. Being the only clock keeper left and everywhere else checked it makes sense that he’s the one with the yorishoro. However it feels so weird for that to even be an option.

Kako and Mirai have been No.1 longer than Hanako has been No.7 as stated here,

(chapter 58)

so why hide it inside Akane? They had somewhere else to hide it so why didn’t they keep it there? (unless there was a repeating cycle of getting a new student to be the Present). She still has yet to have that talk with him as well. *

(chapter 25)

I feel it’s important to address this in relation. Akane states that the Clock Keepers tricked him into accepting his role by attempting to harm Aoi (and accuses Hanako of forcing Yashiro into working for him through trickery). He was only starting out middle school at the time of the incident, so it’s potentially been inside of him since then. Did they want him specifically to hide the yorishoro? What would it even be? My immediate thought was it would be Aoi related, but this is the yorishoro for all of them, and precedes Akane.

There is the potential it is maybe the pocket watch he carries which is a likely option. It allows him to stop time, and each yorishoro are deeply connected to the mysteries. Being able to protect/watch Aoi with it is important to him. And similar reasons may be for Kako and Mirai. I also question how he could even see the supernaturals prior to becoming one and it made sense to me; he’s going to die.

Death. Now onto my main reason for this entire post. I’m 100% certain at this point someone is going to die. Akane is a high contender and here’s my reasoning. He needs special glasses to allow him to continue going on as a student without seeing supernaturals. Yashiro can only see supernaturals because she is set to die within the following year.

(chapter 27)

Akane goes on to explain that the supernaturals aren’t like them and don’t care what happens to them, a hint at that he knows that he’d potentially die in the future or that I’m reading too much into it. Of course he could have that sixth sense, without being an exorcist, like Teru or Kou but with how high the stakes are for the next chapter it is very likely he’s going to die, in my opinion. But he’s only one of my two options.

My second option is Teru, and it’s mainly because of these panels back during the semester finals.

(chapter 59)

why would he feel the need to say this? As far as I know, the near future he talks about hasn’t happened yet even though we’re 50+ chapters and I believe more than 5 arcs in). Teru assumes Kou will come to Akane, but why him and not his older brother? Unless Teru knew he was going to die. He’s been pretty unphased for most of this current arc despite the circumstances. So, here are my two options for how the next chapter goes. 1. tsukasa gets to akane

2. akane is protected again tsukasa

And who better to protect Akane than the exorcist himself? Those two are much closer to each other than the others with them being Student Council and often seen together. And despite any grudge towards Akane Teru might have, I’m certain he’d still jump in to protect him. He’s human before he’s supernatural. In the above photos Teru mentions that Kou will ask for Akane’s aid but then says that in a more specific way, to protect Kou with ‘all of your powers’. There’s the possibility Teru does die and Kou goes to Akane to try and bring him back but is in danger OR it has something to do with Yashiro.

What’s weird to me is how he specifies all of Akane’s powers. As far as reader knowledge, his power only affects the present by stopping time for 5-10 minutes, as well as enhanced physical strength. Either he has more powers up his sleeve that we’ve yet to see or he takes the role of No.1 entirely and inherits the other two Clock Keeper’s powers if they’re gone for good. It just feels very weird for someone to say that out of the blue if they don’t have even a tiny idea of their fate.

Also read that there could be a dark backstory/history reveal and god I want it to be one of them so bad I need more Akane content 🙏

* This could become a plot point with how the current arc is going (and if he survives)

Anyways thats my too many cents! I probably missed some points out or need to elaborate so if that’s needed I will.

[kouaesthetic]

The trial of the three Clock keepers is so backwards. No evidence. Prejudiced judges. The judges stamped the defendants with literal "guilty" stamps before the trial. The judges ARE persecution. No attorneys. No presumption of innocence.

I guess this is only fair, given how exorcists judge supernaturals.

UGH THIS CHAPTER WAS SO AMAZING!!!!!! Less happened in it than last chapter but still amazing!!!

God, if you’re up there, please let Akane make it through the next few chapters 🙏

OH MY GOD AND WHAT WAS THAT THING WITH THE PAUSE WHEN AKANE WAS READING TSUKASAS NAME I NEED TO KNOW MORE!!!!!!! I wonder if like a different name was written cause he’s being like possessed or something hmmmm…

Speaking of Tsukasa he is going rouge and killing people again. And I was just starting to like him too 😞… I wonder if Kako is alright (honestly likely not, but I don’t wanna say anything for sure bc… yk… time… and all that)

I love everything about this arc we’re in rn but I need the next month to pass INCREDIBLY fast. I don’t know if I’m gonna make it to the next chapter T~T

[sun-warmth]

LOOK AT HANAKO’S FACE! I am shocked how clever Tsukasa is! He’s getting more scarier…

[sillystringstar]

I have a theory for next chapter. Okay, less of a theory, more of a prediction. Uh big spoilers but you knew that already.

⚠️ AGAIN SPOILER ⚠️

So quick recap. Akane is like super close to dying. He has three options right now. With only two of them, he makes it out alive.

First is that he fights Tsukasa and then dies. The chance that he survives a fight with Tsukasa is extremely slim. Like slimmer than romantic HanaKou becoming canon.

Second option and the most likely option is Hanako stepping in. Hanako will step in, fight Tsukasa, and maybe win. It's most likely because it's a good chance for AidaIro to put in Yugi twin angst in there.

The third one, which I think probably won't happen, is Teru stepping in to help. Yay! Terukane! There is a good chance that it will happen. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part.

CHAPTER 109 OF TBHK!

I love how Tsu’s feet is just kicked up, like always. I find it so hilarious because people are calling him fruity💀.

Fruity a** pose.

Him and his brother, omg.

The bestie look, the look of secret telepathy I knew I would see it from them. I really want to see it from the Yugi twins too. Like, twin telepathy, then saying stuff at the same time/doing something in sync, maybe as humans people get them mixed up or they swap for the day. I always imagine them just being silly stereotypical twins.

Yes Teru is pissed.

Also Mirai not being able to read is funny to me.

In an au where they are alive, in my aus where they are all in the Near Shore, she just has dyslexia.

Tsu’s smug smile, enjoying his ambiguity and unknowing-ness. Just a drama king in disguise and wants to mysteriously introduce himself.

Mr. B**ch. Step forward.

Jesus.

They for real called him out. Can’t even claim it’s bs.

I didn’t realize this before, but the fact Tsukasa is surprised is really funny.

Because if you think about it, Hanako has been acting more like how he was as a human, ‘Amane’, than he is as a supernatural, as ‘Hanako’. Being embarrassed for himself.

The Amane Tsukasa knew was not perverted, and if he was then he probably kept that to himself, instead of Hanako, who outwardly acts as a perv.

“Amane, you want to do pervy stuff?” - 🫢

Tsukasa, as the very non-perverted person he is, must actually be shocked that his dear old twin brother would be and want to do such a thing. Maybe not disgusted like Teru and Akane obviously is, but since that’s not a part of Amane he know he will hold this in his memory bank. Now he knows you’re a pervert Amane. He’ll probably never let you ‘live’ this down.

She just a little baby, she can’t even reach over the thing!

Her first time in court she was only 3 years old.

I wonder when she’ll turn back to normal?

I love love love Akanene, I’m sorry y’all.

But c’mon, HE’S DEFENDING HER, STICKING UP FOR HER, WANTING HER TO WIN HER CASE.

Platonic or not, they are the sh**.

In the MangaUp translation it said “Do you really think I’m a sociapath?” ( Or something like that ) He definitely is.

Not Tsu saying he would. Everyone’s reading him like an open book, omg. 😭

Akane has nothing to say.

The way he just smiles silently, looks up to see if his fellow criminals will defend him, even a little. Not even Nene did though.

C’mon Teru, Akane was expecting a message of love. Whatever, they’re the yaoi ever.

Pose of innocence.

Then rats himself out.

He can’t help his brutal honesty.

The word ‘smithereens’ is something I don’t want to hear.

Feed him to the owls is crazy.

I love characters who talk in first person when addressing themselves. Doesn’t Tiara also do that?

Totally random, but Tiara and Mirai would be besties.

And Tsu smiling without concern.

I cannot be the only one who is dissatisfied that something didn’t happen to him?

Like really, we could have seen what the Tsu of TBHK future was, we could have seen him disappear/die. And I love him with all my heart, but you cannot admit that that would not be a plot turner, or exciting to see something bad happen to him.

He just had to use that little sprinkle of hope, the power of what? F**king friendship? Loyalty to carry out his job? From thin air.

He’s still amazing though.

Was he yelling as Amane, the caring big brother, or Hanako, the leader of the mysteries who used his twin powers to predict what Tsu was going to do and knew it was going to lead to something bad? Maybe both.

Also, is this just a general warning, or will this have consequences later?

Signature move I guess.

Jii-san. Says the person who doesn’t care for supernaturals, calling the supernatural that tricked and got him involved with the school mysteries, ‘grandpa’..

Let us just hope Akane will survive the next chapter ok?

I wonder if his body is actually different from his human body though? Does he actually have gears inside of him? Or is Tsu just making assumptions.

But, wasn’t he in Clock Keeper form when he got a hole stabbed in his chest in the severance arc?

Oh god.

Whatever, I’m just gonna place my bets that Tsukasa will somehow be stopped. Probably not by Akane though, he’s the weakest school mystery and can’t even stand a chance against Teru.

Nice chapter, I was honestly expecting jail time.

Ch 109: Random thoughts

Ok... let's get started!

Yashiro shield, huh?

A great one, have to say. if only it's not weak to hot guys.

Tsukasa is having a full day I see. Such a good boy, things are just going great with you Tsu, hmm? They are going as you want, huh? <3

Feels nice to see the 3 together once more. ~

Aww... precious little things... <3 <3

Little Nene looking like a small detective was cute!

Wooh... pissed off Teru... have to say he has a point, the destruction of the clock really got the keepers acting stupid over and over again with their funny court.

I see Akane has every right to say this about her then.

How funny. The only good thing about her is being... fast? And add to it... the ability to move time forward? The 2 things were completely useless for her against someone I have in mind.

Her stupidity shines. Wonder if she can amaze me or at least surprise me before things are over.~

Hanako-kun shield time!

I will say I would have loved it too see Tsukasa-kun shield as well in there... but nonetheless, the 3 look lovely!

Yugi Amane... they got that from...? I know Akane knows about it, so I have to assume the other 2 do as well? Cool.

His twin however,

First of all, I have to say I love his facial expressions a lot. He looks satisfied and really in a great shape. Boy... you love to be the mysterious guy, huh? ♡

Hmm... so yeah... it looks like we're back to this Tsukasa existence case. He seems to be unknown to the majority.

A thing that pleases him apparently, and I assume... the number that has him as his yorishiro, too.

"Tsukasa. My name is Tsukasa."

What a magnificent way to put it. Indeed. You're Tsukasa. Certainly one fascinating glorious fact. ☆

Now, one time he added a sweet detail of being 'Amane's younger twin brother'. He has a specific way of introducing himself, one I find really interesting.

He is Tsukasa. Himself. His own self.

Hmm... the Yugi part... has he ever voiced his full name before I wonder? People like his assistant, Akane, Teru, Kou referred to him as 'Yugi Tsukasa'. When it's him... only Tsukasa? At times he has me questioning myself how much depth his words in here really hold...

Despite a few diffrences, Yugi Tsukasa, Yorishiro Tsukasa, Tsukasa... are one and the same person, aren't they? They are 'you'. All of them are 'Tsukasa', right?

About Akane calling his name...

Yeah, he just took the string after Tsukasa informs he is 'Tsukasa' (aka the little who took his big bro's girl and went with her to the boundary) and added the 'Yugi' part. Thing is... weren't the names, titles, whatever written on the list he was reading from? So... wasn't Tsukasa's name written? What was written on it then? No.7's yorishiro? (if they knew but it doesn't look like it) '…..' Yugi? Was some other description about Tsukasa written in there or…???

Uhh… Tsukasa can be 'unknown' for various of reasons… maybe because he is a hidden yorishiro, maybe because he wants to be a mystery so his plans can keep going, maybe Amane himself doesn't want anyone to know about him… maybe there is something more serious to it… makes it really interesting to consider.

How much little is known about him by the other characters? Hmm... Doesn't that make it interesting you'll want to all about this 'hidden' 'unknown' 'mysterious' boy? Who is he really? What is he here for? What's he after? Ahem, I'm calling Nene's curiosity in here.

'I want to get to know you, Tsukasa-kun.' 'I want to know more about Tsukasa-kun.'

Maybe one day she'll go this way?

Cool enough, No.1 is bringing the ones that may have a hand in the destruction of the clock no matter how small that can be to a trial, but... aren't they forgetting... 2 more people? I mean, let's say those are the ones who led to that happening some way or another... don't we need to also include the girl who made the fuss so that can happen? The guy who actually broke the clock? I mean, they were mentioned later or at least the girl. It's funny only the guy with the idea was found 'guilty'. Doesn't this court bring whoever has the smallest hand in this situation to 'Justise'? So, Tsukasa who had the idea is guilty, but the girl who had him to go that far as he put it, is not? let's not forget Tsukasa mentioned her need of having their yorishiro destroyed for her wish to come true. How dangerous. Yet... nothing was said by any of the 3 on that information? What kind of lame court is that? Has the destruction of their clock really got them stupid as Teru put it? What happened to them later is well-deserved for all their ignorance. Let their childish court served them well. Seriously, I had some cool thoughts on how No.1 might go with the court and what issues they might consider yet the actual court felt funny... all of these much important issues were ignored by them? They focused on a small issue! What's the destruction of the clock in comparison to a guy clearly voicing out he is after your yorishiro and did the whole clock thing to get that achieved and as a matter of fact broke into your boundary together with the kannagi girl going after your yorishiro and got caught by one of you keepers? What's that in comparison to a thing you showed your strong disagreement on before?

Instead of focusing on the 'small' picture, focus on the big one that has it included! What they got out of their idiotic act makes sense. Judge the situation better next time, if there will be one.

Really?

Perhaps you should have sticked to the initial thoughts, it would have been bitter.

Speaking of all their love for their precious clock... I wonder why didn't they make any sort of move when Amane was playing with their precious thingy. Or even brought it up against him instead of that joke. That would have been better I assume? Hmm... maybe there is a catch in there?

Ok, let's get in detail with this 'court'...

Fun part:

Yugi Amane- Leader of the 7 mysteries.

Typical Hanako-kun. ~ Aww, Tsu and Nene can't help him, how sad.~ Buuut... the quote Kaku came up with... I never expected it will be back in the story in such a way.

If Hanako was bold enough... I wonder if a thing of 'That's totally stupid. Where's your evidence that proves I said that? I don't take the words of the other 2 clock keepers if they were to agree with you, you're a team, and I say I never said a thing like that in my life.' If only he acted tough and didn't...well...

....

Tsukasa's comment seems to have got me laughing hard, but with Amane-kun...

He fell to his knees then died a second time. XD

Seriously, his big bro pride... rip. What kind of cool persona were you keeping in front of little bro 'when he is aware of your actions' anyway?

Tsukasa's question, oh boy... he doesn't know he added salt to the injury with it. I can see Amane really wanting nothing more than to die a second time and bury himself in a hole of shame. Hilarious.

So now... is it safe to assume Tsu gets the full picture in here? I wonder.~ At least some glimpses of it.~ Does this answer your question... Mr.

Yashiro Nene- Present kannagi.

Woooh, congrats Mr. T. Moon! You got to discover a new side of Amane! Amusing, huh?

How could your heart or even ethics allow you to put a little child in such position? How shameful.

Really, Mr. Amane this arc he is either up or down. One time up, the other down. His heart won't be able to take it with either turn. Talking about his downs, he is on the floor. Talking about his ups, he is in outer space, everything is glittery around him. Wooh. Such a funny change of mood, I wonder if it will keep on going.

Seriously, he got 2 confessions from little Nene 2 chapters in a row! With a short amount of time between them if I might add! At this case the third should be the final, right? let it be when she is back to normal, in a normal setting please. I still wonder if he will say 'me too' or... not. Things are complicated with him. We can still hope for things to go smoothly.

You go little girl! I wonder if her hand ended up hurting her after giving the metal? bird such a hard slap, I mean... with the help of physics -that cried a lot this chapter because of her and Tsukasa- for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. I will hope the slap wasn't too hard for her own sake, especially when she is just a little girl.

Teru- Student body representative.

Woooh, so sad his charm didn't work. lol Aside from Kaku's reaction... the other 3, let's leave Nene aside, Hanako as well. We don't take the reaction of a person who likes/doesn't like you. Tsukasa! Mr. neutral's comment...  have to say it's extremely hard for me not to agree with him, he is the guy who reads faces, sees past what people say and right into the desires in them. So... Teru has a dark destructive side. he kinda share it in common with Hanako, huh? The one who wants to become a dinosaur and burn everything that comes his way. they can be similar in some cases, including a lil bro complex one. Funny.

Though, at times I wonder if Tsu has anything against the Minamoto clan, being exorcists and all. They seem to be a thing unneeded in his ideal word, just like the 7 mysteries. If he shared a some kind of bad past with them... hmm...

Ok, moving ahead of ourselves, let's leave the last case for now and talk about the court so far, some serious talk.

Let's see...

With Amane's case the keepers ignored a thing that can be taken as a serious 'motivation' of his, "you failed to repair the clock in the past and to get to use it to achieve what you want, that's why you're mad and decided to break it instead" and went for "your shameful thoughts" instead. Why?

With Nene's, they forgot already mentioning her motive "life span" and accepted a "want to confess" excuse. Why?

With Teru's, Akane could have easily proved his innocence in the issue.

So why didn't he say a thing? Did he want Teru to get proved to be the guilty one?

"You'll be brought to justice in our court of law." Little Mirai said? Or so the keepers claim?

Seriously? Justice? That's one big word. All 3 keepers were being so very naive.

The funny thing is that Akane sided with Nene while trying to prove her innocence. Wow, what a 'court of law'.

Why Akane?

Oh boy... seems you've got yourself into a tight spot, Akane. Maybe you should have given your action a little bit of thought. Same goes for the other 2 keepers with you, they got some serious ouch moment out of this the funny court showdown they put.

I assume Teru will still side with him to face an 'enemy' of them both, still. A thing for Akane to be grateful about I think.

Akane... he could have defended the 3 cases. Teru was with him all the time and they rushed to the clock together, Nene was with the class he is a part of getting ready for the performance they were going to make when the clock got the serious damage, and Hanako was frozen when he found him. He made a joke of Tsukasa getting Hanako crying on the floor as he put it, right? Akane with a few sentences can put an end to the whole court. Let's see No.7's little brother and investigate those who 'might' be working with him. But, duh. There really was no need for all that 'meaningless' fuss.

At the end, with what Tsukasa voiced out, they should have really gone that way, but they just got things upside down of their own sake instead. Due to what? Due to them acting stupid with their claimed 'court of law'.

................

What kind of childish court was that? It felt like comic relief for the most part, really. If it wasn't for Tsukasa, things would have been really boring. Thanks to him I had some great fun! As always, making things fun and exciting is his specialty after all.

Talking about him... I assume it's time to move to the last case.

Due to pic limits... part 2.

😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿

My life is so hard as a tbhk fan kms

[doggolol]

(tbhk chapter 109 spoilers)

he gave every excuse but the fact that he was with akane when the clock and everything broke down 😭

like yeah, they dont accept testimony from friends or family but surely they’ll accept the testimony of one of the literal judges

look at him blaming akane for not backing him up skdksk
