Twitter Extras (link):

Yoshiki: (Why is Hikaru's homework here?...)

On that day, Hikaru got horribly scolded in front of everyone for forgetting his homework. When he made the excuse that he did do his homework but lost it, he got laughed at.

Side note: Satou, much like Tanaka, is an incredibly common last name in Japan. Very suspicious... 🤔

eremin/hgsn but armin as yoshiki and eren as hikaru.

The lord brainsnatcher is actually ymir the founder and/or the hallucigenia and absolutely terrorise armin ,while wearing erens face and truly act like him ,due to the memories.

Armin would probably be more active ,in terms of looking for the origin of lord brain snatcher and who they even are AND try to keep ‘eren’ in check.

There are definitely parallels with eremin and yoshiki/hikaru, like losing your best friend, being seen as a devil/freak,,,,,

also armin with moles HELLO?? so cute,,,,

i have more ideas how to incorporate the other characters but im gonna do another post,,,no time,,,,😔

as soon as I get my exams done im gonna draw a shit ton for this ,,AU?? :3

hgsn theory: Tanaka is from Kubitachi, and is (probably) Rie Kurebayashi's son

now that Tanaka is back (FINALLY OMG) I would like to share this theory I have been thinking of for a while. Out of respect for the  ch 0-11 scanlators, I will not be sharing any screenshots of the pages I'm referencing, but listing them instead. It shouldn't be a big deal since I do describe all the important parts so u don't have to click on them every five seconds, its just to prove I'm not making shit up. Also, for those who don't know who Rie Kurebayashi is (I don't blame you, we literally only know her name based on Yoshiki's contact on his phone): She's the middle aged woman who can see the yokai, and urges Yoshiki to get away from Hikaru or else they'll get "mixed up"

• She mentioned in ch 6 pg 11 (Mangadex) that her dead husband left a scar on her son's body. Who of the cast of characters has a scar on their body? Tanaka. Feels very Chekhov's gun-ish to mention this very specific detail and then introduce a character with a scar right after. • In ch 9 pg 32, he says "Kubitachi is a dank, musty, miserable hole. Imagine if I just... didn't go...". Kubitachi isn't a well known place that has any reputation, yet he describes it with disdain. The only way he would know such things is if he lived there once. • The elders know Tanaka. Mikasa (glasses one) is the one who brings him up (ch 9 pg 31), and Takeda (angry one)  even says "I didn't want to stoop to joining forces with him" (ch 9 pg 32). On ch 12 pg 31, Mikasa even says "Still lookin' ragged as usual" when he first sees him. They know him enough to criticize his looks in front of him, unlike any employer-worker relationship. "As usual" implies that they have seen each other multiple times, perhaps because they saw him grow up in Kubitachi. • Tanaka probably has a special ability. HGSN puts a lot of emphasis in the eyes, especially of those who experience the supernatural. 'Hikaru' has red pupils, Rie has a white halo around her pupil, and Asako's has multiple circles. I'm bringing this up because we never see Tanaka's eyes. Sure, it's summer and the sun is bright, but even inside a car or a house, he never takes his sunglasses off. In this promotional piece, Tanaka is grouped together with Rie and Asako, who have special abilities. As seen by Asako's grandmother, the special ability is genetic. So If Tanaka is Rie's son, it would explain why he has it. • In ch 13 pg 19, Tanaka not only recognizes who old lady Matsuura was, but even asks of Takeda's father. He knows these people by name and face, another hint that he grew up in Kubitachi. • So ch 14 pg 3, is the elephant in the room of my theory. He says that he doesn't have any spiritual intuition, which would disprove my theory he has a special ability. He also mentions that he got the scar by being to "absorbed" in his work In ch 12 pg 29, we see that Rie's son was still a small child when her husband came back (assuming this flashback is from then, when else could it be?). I doubt his father coming back is considered him being absorbed in his work. If he is saying the truth, then he is not Rie's son (but could still be from Kubitachi). However, he could be lying. The elders don't trust him, especially Takeda. In ch 14 pg 2, he even says "Don't ya go doin' somethin' strange while I'm watchin' ya". He doesn't trust this grown man enough to even leave him alone at his work!  Tanaka is just not a trustable person, even in the newest chapter, he seems to be texting a mysterious Satou person, showing that he's full of secrets. • Which actually leads me to the latest chapter! The translator has pointed out that both Tanaka and Satou are extremely common last names, and that combined with not knowing Tanaka's full name leads me to believe that that's not his real name. Why is he using an alias? I'm not so sure. A mysterious guy like him probably has many reasons to hide his real name. Maybe he doesn't want people in this town to recognize him? Obviously the elders do see to know him more than that, but not anyone else, including Rie Kurebayashi. Oof I think that's it! Would love to hear you guys' opinions, but please be nice about it😅 I seen how some of you guys tore that one hgsn reading that it was homophobic to shreds and while I disagree with op some of y'all were brutal! I mean, another day another slay ig but fr pls b nice I will cry🥺

The way that older Yoshiki chalked up Cawson’s death to just ‘a thing that happens’. Like this isn’t child Yoshiki’s take on the whole thing; this is how Yoshiki currently views it: an unavoidable thing that happens. And while death can just happen, sometimes there’s a root cause and here, there is one. Cawson didn’t just randomly drop dead. He starved. He starved because he was dependent on them and they neglected him because they had both no idea how to take care of a bird nor the responsibility to maintain consistent care.

Yoshiki hasn’t even wondered how hikaru died yet. We never see him really wonder why hikaru was on the mountain, or what he was doing, or even what killed him. For him, Hikaru just happened to die.

But hikaru didn’t just happen to die. He died because he was put up on that mountain by people punishing him for a crime he never committed, something they may not have even fully explained to him with how dodgy everyone is about the village history. He died because he trusted the adults around him. He died because he was made to fit a role he couldn’t fulfill, and when he died, everyone chalked it up to a thing that happens.

I'd like to take this moment to congratulate yoshiki on all his hard work dismantling the stereotype that gays dress well by consistently wearing the ugliest shirt known to man with zero irony in his decision. truly a hero of the people.

there's definitely something to how Yoshiki says Hikaru was like a character in a manga. A character- something designed to fill a specific role in a story while appealing to the widest amount of people as possible. Not only does this explain exactly what Yoshiki liked about Hikaru, it kind of just emphasizes that Hikaru wasn't real. The version he showed everybody, a boy who never cried, who had no real worries- that wasn't real, and yoshiki went and fell in love with it because he wanted it to be real; he wanted a life like that to be possible, but it's simply not. And as a metaphor for coming out and being queer, 'hikaru' is the real one: the one with doubts, desires, and emotions.

giving yoshiki wayyy too much credit here, 'Hikaru'.

Seems like Yoshiki’s eyes are starting to lose shape whenever he’s stressed out, starting with his left pupil getting more jagged when he’s putting back ‘Hikaru’s head in ch22, and then in ch24, his left iris moves to the side.

the whole fucking school after a naked guy entered the school grounds, stabbed a teacher, and then killed himself in full view of multiple classrooms:

why's the yoshiki on the new cover kinda like...
