I love gaining more reasons to stan Yashiro as a character 💗

Notice how just about every other apparition going after Nene has to dismantle her strength first? Ghosts---GHOSTS---have to make elaborate plans just to even GET TO HER because they know full fact she'll whoop they a---

It honestly shocks me how virtually no one in the TBHK fandom is talking about how physically strong Yashiro is. She is a lot stronger than we give her credit for.

Haters will call it glaze, but I call it appreciation.

Now, let me make this clear for anyone who wants to be like, "well, ackshually--" yes, I know that Yashiro doesn't have the same amount of physical strength as Hanako---of course she doesn't. Hanako, despite having the build of a stick, is capable of taking down entities twice his size with just his willpower and a knife.

Hanako has obviously had more than enough time to adapt to the world around him and thus got adequate fighting skills as a result of that. No question that Yashiro obviously is not on the same physical wavelength. But y'all aren't going to gaslight me into saying that Yashiro can't throw hands.

Sure, we can argue that some of these moments were for comedic effect, but I don't think it downplays her feats here. She might not have Isekai level fighting skills, but she knows how to get rrready to rrrumble.

Heck, from the very start when her and Hanako's bond was first officialized by the mermaid scale, Hanako teases her (like the jackoff he is) and Yashiro responds by elbowing this nickel clean in the NECK. In fact, she elbows him so hard, it KNOCKS him over into the DESKS.

Yes, we could also argue in this moment that Yashiro didn't mean to actually hurt him since she didn't know she could touch him. But the fact she even still threw hands at him says quite a bit to me.

In fact, the added notion that she thought she COULDN'T harm him makes it more effective in displaying her strength in being able to fully topple this boy over. Because if that's what she was gonna do ironically, how strong would she be if she were to seriously throw hands? (Don't worry, that question is answered later in this post)

Yashiro since then continues to throw hands with Hanako whenever he gets on her nerves. She beats on Hanako nearly every other crescent moon, but Hanako deals with it because he's a masochist. There's no other explanation I can provide for why he lets her do this stuf to him.

There's no way he's NOT actively letting her hurt him with the amount of physical strength Hanako clearly has and has been shown to have (this dude won a fight against floating scissors in the Misaki Stairs, for crying out loud---)

Did we forget that time in the spinoff manga where she managed to pin him down to the floor with a MOP?

Or what about that time Yashiro heard him talk about her and so she defied physics and attacked from the side HEAD FREAKING FIRST?

"Oh but that's just her and Hanako's dynamic--"

Fear not, dear reader, because there's many more instances of Yashiro casually flexing her strength and agility.

There was a time within the Misaki Stairs arc where Yashiro literally runs and glides across a DOLL to jump up, then lands perfectly, and reaches Yako's yorishiro. Even Hanako was shocked.

Oh, that's not enough?

Well, let me introduce you to a (not-so) wonderful being known as Nakahara from Chapter 115, who pinned Yashiro to a wall and she (rightfully) responded by UPPERCUTTING HIM from the JAW, doing a FRONT FLIP across the guy's CHEST, landing on the floor perfectly, and speeding off away from him.

Comedic, exaggerated, or not, you can't deny that's some pretty impressive stuff.

I don't care what no one says, Yashiro can throw hands when it counts.

New Theory: Mr. Crawling is actually Shinpei who got stuck in the other world---and Adami reminds him of Satoko.

i just remembered seeing a fanart of mr. crawling on twt of him in a what-if of what his life was like before he became a ghost and it's him depicted as like a bodyguard kind of like samurai.

and then it reminded me of shinpei from firefly wedding/hotaru no yomeiri. someone who's also very dedicated to his partner (satoko) and would do anything to stay with her and protect her, much like what mr. crawling does with mc🩷

I'm sending this anonymously for privacy, but I agree on the Sesshomaru being... well... not good. I remember I got spoiled so many times regarding InuYasha and upon seeing Rin's first appearance, I felt REALLY uncomfy cause I was like "please tell me that's not the same Rin that gets shipped with him and canonically has his children in the spinoff" and sure enough... it is... and I wanted to just stop watching the show... but like... geugh... I'm just watching it for InuYasha and Kagome at this point... Sesshomaru is a good villain... can't say the same for him as a person though... but hey, I guess you have to have some bad character traits to be a good villain... otherwise you're not much of a villain...

Fair point 🤷‍♀️

Being an ex-Aphmau consumer, Mystreet Season 1 is very funny in hindsight because of how irrational Garroth and Laurence's possessiveness over Aphmau was.

They were always concerned about how Aphmau was spending too much time at Aaron's house despite them never really making much of an effort or invite her either. Even if so, the L was already in their face and they should've just taken it.

On top of having abs for days, Aaron was also incredibly chill, actually genuinely spent time with her, treated Aphmau like an actual person, and also (temporarily for more reasons) wore a blindfold---so the guy can't even see how ugly you actually are.

When you have it all down, is it really any wonder she wanted be around him all that time when it was clear from the start that Aaron actually respected her autonomy as a human being to begin with?

"I don't like traffic safety earrings" my butt.

That's actually so cute and sad though, stop---

Hanako making himself the protagonist of the alternate world in the Picture Perfect arc will never not be funny to me.

Hanako actively makes himself the relatively popular boy who's good at sports, good at everything, gets to show off his intelligence, has a lot of friends, and those friends behave as his wingmen in helping him get the girl he wants. Because in that world, Aoi actively tells Yashiro that 'Amane' is a catch---meaning he actively set it up for Yashiro to eventually relent into going out with him. I'm pretty sure even in the anime, it even has Aoi (or the fake one anyway) say, "His height doesn't hold him back on the field"

Like bro's just making an advertisement for himself---

Of course this dude who's gone through most of his life with no one all of a sudden makes himself a beloved and well-known student who gets the girl. On one hand, it's funny---but on the other hand, it's low-key kinda sad, lol.

I will forever be anti whatever the heck this 'couple' is and I'm so glad I'm not the only one.

The Problem With SessRin

In InuYasha, Souta was 8 years old at the beginning of the series and 11 by the end of it (three years later). In Yashahime, Souta is apparently 26 years old, exactly 15 years later.

At the end of InuYasha, Rin would’ve been about 11 years old, as it was confirmed that she was 8 when the series began. Towa got lost and stuck in the modern era when she was around 4 years old. For 10 years she lived with the Higurashi’s before the rift opened back up. At this point, Souta is 26.

Do the math with me. If Yashahime takes place 15 years after the InuYasha finale … and Souta is 26 … and Towa and Setsuna are 14 … that would mean Rin gave birth to them when she was roughly 12 years old! This is disgusting! This is fanciful grooming and ephebophilia.

“But he didn’t groom her and he left her in a human village!” In the manga it was confirmed that he visited Rin regularly and left her gifts. He still treated her like a daughter/ward. You don’t eventually marry a little girl you raised … unless you’re Woody Allen.

“But InuYasha’s like, 150 years old and Kagome’s only 15!” In Japan the age of consent is 14 within a 5 year age gap. By the end of the series Kagome is also 18. Mentally and physically, InuYasha is an 18 year old, he didn’t meet Kagome when she was a child, and he didn’t RAISE her in a father-daughter scenario. Furthermore, they didn’t sleep together until Kagome was an ADULT!

Can ya’ll finally STOP shipping this extremely weird, borderline pedophilic, near incestuous relationship, please? If Rumiko Takahashi actually did this I will be beyond disappointed. No matter how you try to spin it, this ship is gross.

Thank you everyone who got me to 100 reblogs! Thank you so much, this is crazy!

One of the cutest aspects about the direction of Yashiro's character in the newer chapters is how much she's openly simping for Hanako. We even get a glimpse into how Yashiro actually views him.

In the beginning, Yashiro was dead-set on only getting with the hottest of hot guys---the whole prince charming type. In fact, this is why she was obsessed with Teru for quite a bit.

But as of chapter you-know-who, there's very clearly a distinction between how the series/other people portray and see Hanako versus how Yashiro views him.

Throughout all the bullcrap these two go through, Yashiro realizes she can't keep her feelings buried anymore (though, I don't see why you would when you literally fight your way through this world's version of hell just to get to this dude, but I digress) and goes all in with acknowledging she wants nothing more than to be with Hanako.

Heck, even when her former crush, Nakahara was (creepily) hitting on her (actually, he was harassing her), she wanted nothing to do with him because Nakahara wasn't Hanako. It literally takes her a few seconds for her to even remember who he is because that's how insignificant he is in comparison to the one and only toilet ghost.

As she runs away from him due to his downright creeptitude (which ironically enough, smartly shows that he wouldn't have even made a good partner anyway so it was actually a good thing he rejected her), she reflects on how she DID want to confess to someone, but it wasn't to him---it was---say it with me: HANAKO--

And the best part from her reflecting on how she wanted to confess to him, it goes back to that part where he was with her in the stage where they'd be holding the performance for the Wizard of Oz. See how the series objectively portrays him versus how Yashiro sees him?

Yashiro is no longer concerned with any prince charming because in her eyes, Hanako IS exactly THAT. From what she originally saw as this snarky boy in a hat, she now sees him as the most handsome because of who he is and what they've both been through together.

He looks more attractive to her because of the fact she recognizes the bond she has with him and wants nothing more than to delve deeper into it.

As messy as these two are, I will say this: AidaIro are MASTERS at subtext and tugging my heart strings.

What Homicipher character you simp for says about you

Mr. Crawling: You (probably) initially were weirded out by him, but then you switched up faster than a light switch and now believe he's a lovesick puppy

Scarletella: You like yanderes way too much and you have an obscene amount of...certain material. He's also definitely not the only yandere you simp for

Mr. Gap: You're someone who likes peeping toms

Mr. Hood: You just want someone who's chill and won't cause too many problems. Plus, faces are unattractive to you.

Mr. Silvair: You like handsome and distant men that would likely abandon you

Mr. Machete: You're a masochist who wants a guy to kill you. There's also a chance you're a Bakugou simp

Mr. Chopped: You think bratty characters are hot even though you'd find them annoying in real life

Mr. Masque: You probably had a crush on Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon when you were a kid. Who knows? Maybe you still like him

Mr. Wheelchair: You like men who can't run away from you

Mr. Stitch: You want to be kidnapped and you probably have some affliction relating to Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas

Ms. Bride: You fall for women who show you any semblance of kindness. Plus, faces are unattractive to you

Ms. Blue: You want a clingy girlfriend who would bombarde your phone every minute you don't look at her

Mr. Human: You're either basic or sane. Hard to tell which one at times

Hairdresser: You crush on people who physically appear as the portrait of your will to live

Mr. Huge face: Other girls say they want a man to be over 6 feet. You want a guy who's taller than Goliath. Hard to tell if you have a death wish or not

The Painting: ...G...Get therapy please, why would you---

Adami Adashino: You either like how much aura she exudes, or you want a girl to kill you

Whenever Hanako does stuff like that, I can't help but jokingly think of the song White Tee by Summer Walker because that meme is just ingrained into my head due to how much it was overused

I know this is supposed to be foreshadowing

But man, the rizz this guy can have sometimes

There's a live action version of Firefly Wedding?

DON'T DO THIS TO ME. DON'T DO THIS, DON'T PLAY WITH MY HEART, DON'T PLAY WITH ME LIKE THIS---

English Translation of CanCam's article

2.5-dimensional handsome actor Shohei Hashimoto perfectly recreates the role of the “love is too heavy” killer! What is the popular manga “Hotaru no Yomeiri”?

``Firefly's Wedding'' is the latest work by Oreko Tachibana, the author of the manga ``Promise Cinderella,'' which was made into a live-action film by Fumi Nikaido and Atsushi Maeda, and became a hot topic of conversation (currently being serialized in ``Manga One''). In this work, the heroine's partner, the assassin Shinpei, became a hot topic, saying that ``love is too heavy,'' and the first volume was decided to be urgently reprinted as soon as it was released! To commemorate the release of Volume 2, the popular character Shinpei has been perfectly recreated by 2.5D actor Shohei Hashimoto. Mr. Hashimoto has appeared in many Japanese-style productions such as the musical ``Hakuouki'' and the stage play ``Touken Ranbu,'' and is a manga lover who even wrote the original story himself. We will also introduce recommended points of "Firefly's Wedding" as well as photos taken of Shinpei in Japanese clothes ♡

The time is the Meiji era. Satoko Kirigaya, the daughter of a count, is blessed with both her family name and beauty, but it has been declared that she has only a short time left to live, and her only dream is to marry in a way that will benefit her family. Meanwhile, Satoko's life is suddenly targeted by a mysterious killer, and in order to survive, she proposes to the killer, Shinpei Goto, ``Please marry me.'' It was supposed to be a one-off lie, but Shinpei is a man with a lot of love...

Q: ──I'm sure you're used to wearing Japanese clothes on stage, but what did you think of wearing a kimono inspired by Shinpei?

A: It's been a while since I've worn a kimono like this (a kimono without a haori, simply tying an obi), so I was very happy, and there's something exciting about photographing kimonos. This time, I was playing the role of a killer, so I had a lot of fun filming it, thinking that I shouldn't let my excitement show too much.

Q: ──You showed off various facial expressions and postures, but what points did you pay attention to in order to bring out Shinpei's uniqueness?

A: I was struck by the way Shinpei-kun's head is tilted, as if he's relaxed and relaxed, so I kept this atmosphere in mind when designing his stance. The rest is the eyes. In fact, before filming, the author, Tachibana Oreko, gave me this advice to my editor: ``Anyway, I hope you give me dead eyes...''

Q:──Mr. Hashimoto, what impressions did you have when you read “Hotaru no Yomeiri”?

A: I thought it was going to be a girls' manga as a genre, but there are scenes where people are cut with swords and it's surprisingly cruel, so it's different from the girls' manga I had imagined! I was surprised with. Because of the battle scenes, it's very easy to read even for someone like me who came from a youth magazine. Of course, it's about the love story between Satoko and Shinpei, but it also has suspense elements like who orchestrated Satoko's kidnapping in the first place, so I think it's a fun manga to explore.

Q:──What scene in particular captured your heart because of the beauty of the painting?

A: The scene where Shinpei-kun and Satsuko-san watch fireflies together. I especially love the scene in Volume 2 where Shinpei-kun releases fireflies into Satsuko-san's room. Another unforgettable scene is the scene where the two kiss for the first time. There are many people lying around who were killed by Shinpei-kun, and the two figures are reflected in the pool of blood. Although the situation is cruel, it is a very nice expression and I think it is beautiful. It's so fascinating that you can't help but look into every corner of it.

Q: ──Mr. Hashimoto, what kind of character did you think of Shinpei?

A: At first, you get the strong impression that Shinpei-kun is kind of a "dangerous person," but as you read on, you'll find that he's surprisingly cute. I thought this gap made him a really fun character. For example, the scene at the beginning where Satoko is saved from a villain while she is locked up in a prison. He escapes by jumping off a tall building, and I really like his poignant expression. He even makes an expression like this! (laughs) After all, love is heavy! Looking at Shinpei-kun makes me think that love and madness may be a thin line.

Q: Mr. Hashimoto, you sometimes demonstrate your swordsmanship on stage, but what impression did you get of Shinpei's sword technique?

A; This first sword line is depicted in the scene where Shinpei-kun saves Satsuko-san. I really like his style of cutting with his legs wide open. In the case of kimono, there is a style of slashing without showing your legs, but when I played Hajime Saito in ``Hakuoki'', I also slashed with my legs wide open. Also, although Shinpei-kun looks rough, he has a surprisingly delicate expression on his sword. For example, this sword technique that involves returning the sword in a detailed manner. It gives the impression of a mixture of movement and stillness.

Q: ──If ``Hotaru no Yomeiri'' were ever made into a stage play and Mr. Hashimoto was chosen to play Shinpei, how would you like to play him?

A; I want to firmly express Shinpei-kun's dual nature. Shinpei-kun may be saying what he really means, but if you look at him from the outside, you can't see the bottom of his heart. I would like to act with this in mind.
