Do you think the severed head in the middle of Tserriednich’s scarlet eyes collection is gonna turn out to be Pairo’s? It’s about the right shape and size, the hair color and length is correct, it’s been mentioned before that collectors prefer scarlet eyes with the heads still attached, and most importantly, it’s basically the single most devastating thing that Kurapika could have to give up to save his friends.

Welll.. it’s clear he collects bodies and body parts (which is why I’m terrified of what his nen beasts’s fate worse than deaht is for Theta). So that could just be a head for whatever reason; we don’t know it has scarlet eyes. That being said, its positioning is suspicious… so it’s possible. If that happens I’m gonna die.

But isn’t coming to terms with Endeavor a big part of Shoto’s arc as well?

Oh, sure. But he’s been defining himself by Endeavor, which is the point of what Deku yelled at Shouto back in the tournament arc. It’s your power. It’s on you. He shouldn’t try to be better than Endeavor, he should try to be the best version of himself.

I also don’t know that reconciling with Endeavor is the end goal of his arc. I do think it will be a part of his arc (though I don’t think an abuse victim needs to reconcile with an abuser in any way, but I do think that’s where Horikoshi is building and I hope it will be well done). But whether or not Endeavor apologizes sincerely and maybe they reconcile, that’s not (imo) the end goal of where Shouto’s development is headed. His goal is to be a good hero in his personal life and in his actual hero life.

A hero who is not known as the son of Endeavor, but as Shouto.

I think I finally understand why I don’t like TG:re the anime. It’s the colors. Almost everything is muted and it seems kind of…washed out. It reminds me of those action movies that stick with greys and blacks and other ‘mature’ colors to seem ‘edgy’ and ‘cool’. Of course, there are exceptions where the palette makes sense but still, I wish people would stop associating bright and vibrant colors other than red with childishness. Your opinion?

I actually agree that the color palette is poor. I think colors can really add a vibrancy to the story, and one of the things I actually loved about the first season of TG, despite its flaws, was just how vivid and beautiful the colors were. My roommate, who hated TG (she doesn’t like torture), even kept referring to it as the anime with the great colors. But that alas was struck. Even darker colors can be vivid and stunning, if used correctly, but the palette is very muted. 

I write this from my living room, by the way, where as of an hour ago my roommate and I bought lightbulbs that change colors in association with the music we’re playing, so you know. Take it as you will. :PPP

I just had an idea for a unique ask. Could you rank all the characters that have been introduced since the Marley arc in how much you like them and why? So basically all the new warriors, the volunteers like Nikolo, and Kiyomi. (I’m not gonna make you rank characters like Karina Braun 😅) Ofc since these are all pretty new characters you might have to base them off future potential or just anything you naturally like about them.

Oooh! Cool ask; thank you!
