Yukiya in the second part of the Yatagarasu series.

(Please don’t click if you dislike spoilers. I beg you. But if you are not averse to them, then please freely discuss them with me. )

I have to scream !!!

He’s in his 40s “with an elegant appearance.” (One of my fave Japanese fan artists on X has several renditions of him as a middle-aged man. And they are fantastic. )

He’s muscular, hugely built, perhaps like Lord Genya in his prime or his dad Yukimasa (who didn’t look bad at all when he married Fuyuki, thank you to mangaka Natsumi Matsuzaki ), with long, wavy brown hair that has white streaks on it. It reaches the floor when he does a dogeza

He exudes authority, so much authority, so much power, and everyone, mostly, is afraid of him, admires him.

He’s now the leader of the clan. Something like the Prime Minister. He’s called a Yellow Raven, the leader of all government officials. When you let the military take over the government, Yukiya’s government happens. His propaganda re “monkeys” reminds me of a real-life happening where former Philippine president Duterte and his cohorts’ so-called red-tagging and anyone who is a suspected drug user/small-time drug peddler has shoot to kill order. That is, anyone who was not in line with the Duterte government’s policies (mostly political rivals) was part of the communist party/drug addict and therefore needed to be eradicated. Use a magic word, “monkey,” and everything is justified. (I thoroughly understand, on the other hand, Yukiya’s reason that “people are fools”)

He has taken a vow not to marry nor to have children to undertake the role of Yellow Raven, which compared to the others before him, these Yellow Ravens were older and begot children before they got the position. A monk or a priest in Yamauchi means that you don’t belong to any of the four houses and discard the so-called worldly delights.

He doesn’t have a love interest, but that word sparring with (Nazukihiko’s daughter) Himemiya’s other persona is oozing with sexual tension that is palpable to those who have heard them including Haruma, who is his loyal supporter/personal secretary/adjutant (just imagine a mature intelligent man and an intelligent beautiful young woman having a heated political discussion and the young woman is not at all afraid bc darn she knows this person so well as he was like her babysitter/minder/aide/quasi family member/crush when she was young. Well played Chisato Abe, well played !)

He is so disenchanted with life, and vows to hold on to power as long as it takes, yet the appearance of Himemiya’s other persona is about to rock his world

Yes, he has always had this darkness in him, and he lets this darkness prevail because he’s lost those people who have been so close to him, who he loves dearly. AND YET, he never mourned them properly. His heart suddenly closed off like a defence mechanism to assuage the pain that he’d feel. Though there was once an incident when he decided to let go during the first part of the series the reason he was so attached to Himemiya. And when (he thought) Himemiya “rejected” him, it was the day he was convinced that no one really cared. You just watch Episode 11 and listen to Wakamiya talks about Atsufusa and you have in a nutshell Yukiya now. The court will change you.

Anime * Yukiya seems to be a bit gentler. So I don’t know how will they make him so if ever we’ve gotten another season like in the books.

I HAD A BRAIN BLAST WHEN I SAW THIS IN THE TRAILER

[wthelenas]

the whole “see you at the equator” thing gets me for so many different reasons.

their innocence of not knowing what the equator is but hoping it is something grand beyond their belief. their little laughs before realizing the sad truth that they may never make it out of there together and actually get to know/explore these simple things.

the equator being the division of two hemispheres translating to the division between innie and outie, like the brain waves that split their consciousnesses. another representation of this being the door to the staircase where helly goes to find mark. they literally met each other at the line (equator) that divides innie and outie.

the line can be interpreted in other ways, but i always saw it as this connection of two souls, not just their own but each other. it kinda points to reintegration, the merging of these two consciousnesses, because it rly is their only chance.

also the lumon logo is literally the earth and where it says “lumon” is the equator lol. anyways markhellyna you have bewitched me truly. so much to come in season 3

i’m still here btw. i’m literally still here I NEVER LEFT

Another thing I love about The Raven Cycle is that it’s an entire four book series about fate and prophecy and escaping the narrative, but if you pay close attention you can see that the entire time, miniature prophecies are coming to fruition throughout the entire series. Niall Lynch tells his middle son that the day he was born, it rained blood, and Aurora told him ravens laughed. On the day Gwenllian is raised from her tomb, both occur. At the beginning of the second book, Gansey mentions that Glendower had magicians with him that could change the weather and tell the future. By the end, Gansey has both (Ronan, with his miniature suns and Adam, his psychic). Gansey approaches Ronan in the church in the first book, and is sure that his voice wakes Ronan from death. And then in the third, his voice has exactly that power.
