Tsuritama Episode 7 Discussion

Honestly, I totally understand Natsuki. Do you never fight with your siblings? Sure, a slap was not really the right thing to do but hell, can't deny I would have exploded at her, too. I felt she overreacted by blaming everything on Natsuki :c
It was his birthday, nobody even asked him if he even wanted to go, they just all decided for him. They fucking knew Natsuki and his dad aren't on the best terms, so how about adressing that problem first instead of risking the whole day to be ruined by forcing them together on a boat? Haru was right in the end c':
I like his dad and I also wish Natsuki would just go and talk to him already and stop with his moods but after this episode I also came to understand him a bit better. They all seem to keep secrets from him and I bet the death of his mother is also an issue.
Hell, neither Sakura nor Natsuki are adults but I'm sure they'll make up, that's how it goes with siblings.

Okay, what's with Yuki's dreams, he recaptures what happened each day on a film negative, I'm not sure if he is being influenced by something or if it's just him, any guesses?

This, seriously.

.......Why is everyone hating on Natsuki? Did you happen to completely miss everything Sakura said before that? Like I don't think she was wrong in what she was trying to say, but she put it VERY fucking rudely in a way that would have made anyone want to slap her >>;;

Natsuki is a GOOD BROTHER. Why does the one time he snaps suddenly cancel out everything else that he did for Sakura before that episode? He’s been putting up with Mari and his dad because he doesn’t want Sakura to feel sandwiched between the two sides because she gets along with both. Like he was doing it all for her and seriously what the hell is she saying? "IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT I HATE YOU etc" Then she points out he’s the only one not smiling when everyone else was was just one of the few things she could ever say to let him know that you CLEARLY don’t understand how he feels at all. Seriously I know she's only 9, but jesus...

Yes, it's easier to relate to Sakura in general but put yourself in Natsuki's shoes. You're an older sibling. You love your mom a lot. YOUR MOM DIES. In a very short amount of time your father is going out with some lady you don't even know. You then have an irresponsible, uncommunicative father and a younger sister (who btw moved on easier because she wasn't alive long enough to bond with your mom as much as you did).

I also feel really bad because there was no one that took Natsuki’s side during this fight, as opposed to Sakura who has like Yuki and everyone else. And you guys are forgetting that it was HIS BIRTHDAY. His fricken birthday ffs.

but she’s not a bitch and I don’t blame her for crying or feeling how she did. Neither of them were wrong, they just came from different standpoints. Sakura wants to move on and bring everyone with her (including her late mother) and Natsuki wants to stay behind and leave Mari out of it. Neither one is at fault here, they just want different things and are both uncommunicative and stubborn and thus THIS HAPPENED.

there's a 99% chance they're going to make up in the next episode anyway so CUT THE HATE ON THE CHARACTERS. neither of them meant what they said so blame everything on the bad atmosphere at the time.

Dramatic episode-- but what stuck in my mind was when Yuki said/monologued, "Natsuki was right. I didn't understand. I don't know anything about parents or siblings."
I'm really curious about Yuki's past and family situation :||

I didn't expect Natsuki to slap Sakura, especially because of how much he dotes on her. I thought that maybe he'd yell at her or something, but I didn't expect a SLAAAP. Then again, I also didn't expect Sakura to react and blame Natsuki like that 3:

This episode was filled with unexpected things >D

that's a nice thing to do giving him a discount :)




brat... Natsuki's sister's a brat. okay... became a brat
I don't understand the "Natsuki's a jerk" thing, his dad is more likely a jerk

A person will not have fun just because everyone is. It was his birthday, HIS BIRTHDAY, an event heavily connected to his mother (and father, fine). He isn't even like the focus, which he should be. It's like they just dragged him to be there, of course you'll expect him to not be happy at some degree!

He just snapped and did some slap. I would bitch slap her too if she was my sister, and I'd cry too if I was slapped by my brother. I didn't expect that burst of blame, and I was really getting worked up because what she's saying was just shut your mouth, the slap was a surprise too really to the point that i was somehow relieved, because i was really feeling Sakura's words.

You can't make a person to accept to like that Mari just like that, she's not even trying to be liked by natsuki ヽ༼ ಠ益ಠ ༽ﾉ the dad and the sister are doing it for her, maybe that's smart of her because she knows she can't do it. and the dad is like.. hey children do you want to eat outside? wanna fish? man I thought of this cool new thing let's try it okay?! lol! oh and btw this my gf and might be your new mother, 2 yrs's a long time maaann. ಠ_ ಠ

your dad's right Natsuki just go out of Enoshima and just take your mom's belongings, take your sister with you and don't come back to your dad, since he can have a family of his own now hhmmp.. :(

and why didn't their dad (NOBODY ELSE HAD THE RIGHT TO GET IN THE MIDDLE, THAT WAS A FAMILY MATTER, FAMILY MEMBERS ONLY) say or do anything when she got slapped, like yeah it's okay, i'm their dad but it's their fight, and my woman here might feel uncomfortable, woman (I mean she does want to join the family) be like don't wanna have to do with anything with the past wife's children i'll just stay quiet here, that not my problem ( ಠ_ ಠ ).......... GOOD BYE
no wonder Natsuki doesn't like either of you, jesus christ, they expect him to just accept it

I don't understand how you all want Yuki to "kick Natsuki's ass" that would be COMPLETELY out of place for him to do, it's more 'jerky' than slapping your sister.

but of course I'm not forgetting
Natsuki, talk it out with your dad!!!!!!!!!!! but then again the father doesn't seem the type that you could hold a serious conversation with, even with the sister there to make Natsuki behave better, because the girl would probably disregard her brother and take her dad's side
