Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun 2 Part 2 Episode 11 Discussion

Everything else was peak but the awkward animations, the team doesn't seem to know how to animate fights in my opinion...

And I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the fact that in the manga Hanako was brutally tortured and bloody but in the anime he looks like he got slapped twice and that's it. Tears.

@Adairillya

it feels like the studio signed up for a cute romance/sol/comedy and refuse to change it(or give it to someone else) despite this and the next arc would work way better if they would focus on the horror elements, they keep toning down the serious moments either by animation or pacing(for example: in the manga severance/disappearance of hanako was the end of chapter(monthly manga btw), instead in the anime teru already has a plan/solution by the end of the same episode)

they also removed when

i fear how they or even if they will handle

I knew Teru was strong, but I didn't consider Hanako was actually weak in combat lol

Hanako isn't weak by any means, even while in a sealed state he's comfortably within the top 10 strongest in the series. Teru is just next level.



They bleed supernatural matter, it's not quite blood-blood, but they still bleed. The main thing was that the voice actor performed her role exceptionally well, but it just felt quite awkward when the wounds that warranted those screams didn't really show.



That's exactly the thing. Teru's hatred towards Hanako feels extremely personal. He also kept speaking of "Hanako killing Aoi", even though the only actual involvement Hanako had to do with the entirety of the Severance was leaving No. 6 do whatever he wanted and trying to stall Teru and Akane in the train. The point Teru made to Hanako still stands, but the wording is important to keep note of.

What's even more interesting is that if you remember from season 1, Teru was the one who wanted all 7 Mysteries gone in the first place, and Hanako even clarifies in the manga that one of the reasons he enacted the yorishiro destruction plan was that so Teru wouldn't exorcise them. So why is it suddenly an issue to Teru? That's a big contradiction that deepens the mystery around Teru's real motivations.

on teru's part he was okay with them until they started acting strange only then he sends kou (in a early volume bonus )

its the wonders duty keep the school safe yet supernaturals start to acting strange under their rule (once nene little stunts "cursed" bento etc (idk if he noticed nene&hanako back then) then the mokke started acting strange)

if the wonders exorcised/die another supernatural simply replaces them , the mokke also constantly try to get rid of them to take their spot, but if they just weakened 1: they don't get replaced, 2: since they are weaker they can't really enforce their boundary role, other supernaturals are more free to come over just like at the beginning of this arc

icl this show has become amazing recently, its always been good but certainly had some boring moments. But actually utilising multiple characters and making the plot feel more dynamic makes the show so much better again.

Teru is such a good character though he really said he'll kill Yashiro just for the hell of it if Aoi don't live. So glad Akane and Aoi reunited, I really don't know how this will play out, if Aoi is saved then I suppose maybe they'll find some other way to increase Yashiro's life span.

But like in the first place why is Yashiro's life span even cut in half or shortened like was that ever explained? It would be nice if we had real clarification on that. Like is it a external force or does she just meet some kind of accident a year later which couldn't be helped.

Cause I mean realistically if its from a natural cause Yashiro should just die normally then.

It was explained that it's quite literally fate since people are born with fixed lifespans. Aka from the moment Nene was born she was destined to die at her appointed time. Amane is the only exception from this rule since Tsuchigomori stated that he's the only person to have ever changed his fate by cutting his life short.

@Adairillya So like realistically its just a natural death? Like as in there's no supernatural element to it. Cause plenty of people die young from any sort of factor like, accidents, murder, disease. Cause if its something like that happening realistically Hanako shouldn't interfere with that. Regardless I do get why he's doing it
