ONK Chapter 147 Spoilers

Queen behavior. How does she manage to be so good in such a lousy manga 😭

I've been following OnK veeeeeery loosely lately but I find it hilarious that Akane hasn't only been keeping an eye on Aqua's moves, she has also been following Kamiki. Since all of that has been off-paneled, I wonder if we'll one day just have Akane reveal that she already figured out that Aqua is Goro's reincarnation lmao

Considering that the movies show Doctor A dying in the same forest where Akane and Ruby find Goro's body, Akane should be able to tell that this is the same doctor Aqua told her about.

Except now she would also know that he died on the same night Aqua was born, which means there was absolutely no way for Aqua to have known him at all, least of all so intimately.

This was the missing piece of the puzzle and it's right there in the movie, so here's to hoping Akane has either already put 2 + 2 together off-panel or that she's on her way to do so.

If Akane finally figuring this out is in the cards, I wouldn't be surprised if we get a chapter that parallels Chapter 51 whenever S2 gets around to adapting these particular scenes 😂

Or he could save the parallel for whenever these scenes get adapted, since Chapter 51 will probably get its anime counterpart pretty early into the season.

All in all though this is the second time Akane and Kamiki have had contact with each other, I hope that Aka won't deny us of a proper confrontation eventually 😭

#fandom: onk #I couldn't care less about onk overall rn but I'll always be emotionally invested in any plot akane is involved in #here's to hoping aka stops stalling now that s2 is finally around the corner

5 things your character can't do while speaking

Choke. Just think about it, seriously. Think about what choking is and imagine speaking while it’s happening. That would fuckin’ hurt, man.

Hiss. Look, it’s just not possible, okay? No matter how “evil” you want your character to seem.

Snarl. Animals snarls. The Beast from Beauty and the Beast snarls. The Hulk snarls. You know who doesn’t snarl? PEOPLE WHEN THEY’RE SPEAKING.

Shriek. Come on, 99% of the time, “shriek” is not the word you want.Let’s face it: if you put an exclamation point at the end of the sentence, your reader gets the picture. Don’t bring to mind banshees and screaming toddlers.

Sneer. I’m not even going to bother explaining this one. “SNEER” ISN’T EVEN A SOUND.

#me reading the op's list: ??? those are all perfectly normal words to use? tf?#thank you tumblr for setting the record straight

Alicent is wet and miserable. Otto looks like he hasn’t slept in three weeks. Helaena is experiencing inconceivable grief. Aegon’s hair looks fried as hell. Aemond is plotting Daemon’s death. And we finally get to see Sunfyre after what feels like a decade of waiting.

Team Green we are so fucking back.

The French translation of the 10th volume came out earlier this month and French!Aqua is a poet

"I will love you... no matter what!"

"I want no part in a life... that doesn't have you in it"

But even that doesn't do justice to how romantic this is in French 😭

#aquakane #the french translators cooked holy shit #this reminds me so much of noel/yeul and his “a world without you is no world at all”#“a life without you is no life at all”#how will aka come back from this #will he just sideline akane until people forget this is a thing that happened or??#fandom: onk #the french translation mogs the english one in every way btw #even akane's monologue about dependency and relationships is so much better worded in french it's nuts

Checked ONK out of curiosity and Aka's forced writing strikes again. I can't take these "acted flashbacks" seriously because there's no way Aqua (or anyone writing the script, for that matter) could know all those details, including Kamiki's thoughts and mindset 😭

#I want to give aka the benefit of doubt #like maybe that's the point #maybe we'll see kamiki's actual thoughts later and find out aqua's headcanons about him were wrong #but aqua and ruby have literally turned into kamiki and ai for the sake of these acted flashbacks so my hopes of that are kind of low lmao #this entire arc has been so bad it reminds me of iceguya #save us akane!!

If only there was someone with an actual good grasp on Ai's character. Oh wait -

The manga would be over by now if Aqua was allowed to ask Akane this kind of question lmao

Reading the official French translation of volumes 8 and 9 has made me realize that this is supposed to be Akane repeating what Aqua once said to her:

It's way more obvious in the French translation, because they draw a parallel between both dialogues:

Aqua: Notre relation n'est pas réelle... elle est née pour les besoins d'une émission télé... Our relationship isn't real... it was born for a TV show.

Akane: Notre couple est né pour les besoins des caméras... Our couple was born for the cameras.

The French translation also goes extra hard when it comes to Aqua's monologue about Akane:

Here is how it goes in French: Je dois aussi réfléchir à mon avenir avec Akane... maintenant que je sais que mon père est mort, je n'ai plus besoin de la garder près de moi... Je pourrais exploiter son intelligence sans m'attacher à elle de façon égoïste, seulement... Non... Voilà justement pourquoi... Je ne peux pas rester attaché éternellement à cette fille, une fille jeune et pleine d'avenir.

While the beginning is pretty much identical, here is a literal translation of the rest: I could use her intelligence without selfishly getting attached to her, but... [Aqua thinks about the hug] No... That's precisely why... I can't stay forever attached to this girl. A young girl with a bright future ahead of her.

I bolded the lines that stood out the most to me. I feel like the French translation makes it extra clear that one of the reasons why Aqua wanted to put some distance between them is because he was already attached to Akane, and perfectly aware that if he kept her near, he wouldn't be able to stop himself from getting even more attached to her.

This is another one I really liked in French. Je ne peux pas... t'obliger à rester avec moi plus longtemps...

Which would give us: I can't... make you stay with me any longer...

#aquakane #not meta but #my aquakane meta #looking forward to how they translate the phonecall in volume 10 #I think it comes out in February? gotta make a mental note to check that out #fandom: onk

Kana and Ruby were desperate to be seen by Aqua/Goro. Meanwhile, Akane sought to see—understand—the real Aqua.

Aqua shines the spotlight on Kana to save her from her bad habits. He does the same for Ruby, freeing her from her burden.

The manga puts a lot of emphasis on the way Goro was Ruby's light, on the way Aqua brought out Kana's radiance. We're shown that Sarina wants to marry him, that Kana wanted to be his idol. Despite this, neither is privy to the burden Aqua is carrying.

With Aqua and Akane, the manga paints a different picture: It actually allows Akane to get involved. Aqua saved her life and ever since she has been doing her best to save his heart in turn.

What's more: Goro has been saving people all along, but Akane is the one the manga has actively taking mesures to return the favor.

#aquakane #my aquakane meta #going through my drafts and I have a bunch of aquakane posts I never published #I'm pretty sure I never published this one because it mentions kana and ruby #but you know what: if aka wants to make a fool out of me I'm gonna give him the tools lmao #I'll serve them to him on a silver platter even #that said it's pretty obvious that sarina was goro's light while he was alive which I do consider more than enough retribution #if there's someone that can save him emotionally that's her #so let it be known that this is exclusively about goro's current life as aqua lmao
