Every time I throw my hat into the prediction ring, I always end up a little to the left. That being said, I am not one to give up easily, so here we go.

I’m not sure Rui 5 will be the next wxs event.

WAIT!! Before you start calling me a dumb stupid bozo for even thinking that, just hear me out.

Backlight lens flare is agreed to be a pretty nothingburger event (a fun nothingburger event with bakuno reki, but nonetheless). The only lore piece for Rui’s story that it introduces is the unnamed director who (as far as I’m aware) has not reappeared.

With the second WL for WxS having come and gone, it seems like colorpallette could take it two ways, imo:

A) We touch back on Asahi’s offer to Rui, possibly leading to a trust based conflict (“why didn’t you tell us in the first place?!” Yada yada yada)

Or

B) We find out who the unnamed director is and whats his deal (who knows, maybe he wants to steal Rui away to his own theatre company)

With Nene and Emu’s 5th and 6th events tying off the opera troupe part of the arc, and the WL2 finalizing that they have completed their training tour, I can really only see us returning to PXL.

A lot of people, myself included, really want and believe that Rui 5 will be the arc ender, especially because he hasn’t been one yet and well, why wouldn’t we want a Rui event as our arc ender after a YEAR AND A HALF without a focus of his.

Problem is, there is one massive loose end from the very beginning of this arc that hasn’t been touched on since it was introduced back at the start of this arc.

That’s right everybody, I’m talking about Nakayama from A story where you are the star. Introduced in the 8th chapter of the event, “Becoming the character” the entire thing is almost 12 minutes of 3 main things: Rui’s inner monologue, Tsukasa acting as Nakayama, and “Nakayama’s” inner dialogue.

And that’s the most important part. Nakayama’s inner dialogue. Because it’s not Tsukasa’s, they tell us this directly.

As far as I am aware, this has never happened before. Every time a character, especially Tsukasa, is acting and we see their inner dialogue, their name replaces the characters name.

Even more important is the fact that only Rui notices. No one else, not Bakuno, not Nene, not EMU. No one but Rui is aware. In this case, two things are established.

1) Rui and us as the audience are the only people privy to this. This makes Rui particularly special.

2) While Tsukasa is aware after that he went too far with his acting, only Rui is able to establish how dire what happened is, to us and himself.

So, you might be thinking, Major, where are you going with this? I’ll tell you.

During Mizuki 5, the writers made a direct, in universe parallel between Mizuena and Ruikasa’s relationships. Mizuki and Rui being saved and learning to open their hearts to others once more because of Ena and Tsukasa. In Ena 5, Mizuki is properly “saved”, assured that she will never lose Ena as a friend and support in her life, that she will never be alone because of who she is. But Rui already had this experience through the main story of WxS. So what’s my point?

I think what’s going to happen is that we will be getting a similar 2 part continuation event with Tsukasa 6 and Rui 5, as we did with Mizuki 5 and Ena 5. They reintroduce the loose end fact that Tsukasa’s method of acting is getting dangerous for him personally, and with Rui as the only person who has any prior knowledge and experience of this happening before, is the only person able to help Tsukasa, to return the favour and save him from himself. The reason I specify this will be a 2 part, continuing into Rui 5 as the arc ender, is because I think the initial efforts will fail. I think that no matter what Rui, or WxS as a whole do, they won’t be able to help him right away.

While it’s never said outright, it’s heavily implied that Tsukasa is a method actor. I myself was an actor for a bit, and can give one or two cents on the matter. Method acting is often described to be the most effective way of portraying a character, the most realistic, but also the most harmful to the actor. Looking at how Tsukasa’s acting has evolved over each event, I think we’re standing on the precipice. Back in Sky’s Edge he was emulating the conditions Rio went through to better understand him (ie, trying to survive off of water for three straight days), that’s method acting. With the Nakayama thing in Story where you are the star, “Becoming the Character” and all that, and acting the character to a point that the narrative tells us that his inner dialogue isn’t his anymore but the character’s? Yeah, I’m calling that method acting.

All of this is to say, the next big step Tsukasa can take in his acting journey, is off the cliff; trying so hard to be the character he’s given and succeeding. Once an actor has adopted the mannerisms, the attitude, the thoughts of the character they’re playing, it’s hard for them to unlearn them. You hear stories of how actors can’t get rid of an accent they adopted for a movie, or have a limp because the character they played did.

That is where I believe Tsukasa is heading, and only Rui can save him. This is why I will say, that by the end of Tsukasa 6, Rui fails; hardening his resolve to save Tsukasa from himself, the consequences of his acting, and pull him back to Rui, to WxS, and to himself in Rui 5’s story.

TL;DR I don’t think Rui has enough narrative pieces in play to make his 5th event narratively compelling or the arc ender, which is why Project “lore over schedule” Sekai will have Tsukasa 6 as the july 7th hakolim and Rui 5 as the arc ender to tie up the Nakayama loose end.

Or I’ll be wrong. Who knows. Only proseka and Apollo at this point. What do you all think?

[vienn-05]

project sekai au where everything is perfect and happy and there is no suffering except something feels different. Saki was never hospitalized and she started a band with Shiho and Honami like they always wanted except for some reason it feels like they’re missing someone. Haruka Shizuku and Airi spread hope as more more jump without the loss of hope it originally took to get there except it feels like they’ve lost something much more valuable. An Akito and Toya never had any doubts about their abilities or obstacles that tried to prevent them from surpassing Rad Weekend. Nagi is alive and their drive is strong except it feels like their passion could be burning so much brighter. Rui Nene and Emu perform shows without struggle or issue except it feels so much quieter than it should be. Mafuyu Ena and Mizuki unite under music and can live without the weight of wanting or having wanted to disappear except none of them can quite remember whose music brought them together.

Somewhere within the sekai of all sekais, five songs threaten to decrescendo into silence

YAY TSUKASA
