Den-O ep 40 (spoilers)

[estirose]

I'm alive for things other than NaNoWriMo. Really. And it helps that I need an hour or two to get my NaNoWriMo protagonist coherent after the antagonist kissed her.

Maybe I should write that Trip/Katie fic. Or figure out that Abarekiller/Dekapink plotbunny that's now stuck in my head courtesy capncosmo. Eh. I'll write about this week's Den-O instead. It might even be coherent.

Needless to say, current RAW spoilers.


Um. Wow.

I've been getting the gist of the episode from various discussions, and... wow.

Yuto is back. I'm not sure why Yuto is back, because his explanation was way beyond my meager Japanese. Does being a singularity point save one from being killed in a time one has already lived? (And I must be misunderstanding his line, because I swear he said "Ore wa toikuiten ja nai da", which sounds like he isn't a singularity point, so I'm so totally confused here.)

I guess he gets to meet Airi fresh next episode, since he's apparently forgotten her? (EDIT: Airi forgot Rider!Yuto too. This'll be interesting.) This is what happens when you mess with your own memories. Yuto is tragically willing to sacrifice everything for the world, and I don't blame Ryotaro for wanting to take those cards away a few episodes earlier.

What's even sadder is, pre his coming back, Deneb didn't remember his former host at all. Deneb, his closest friend in the entire world doesn't remember him. And I adore the heck out of Deneb, but he and Ryotaro seem to be a mismatch somehow. I don't know if it's because he ended up with Ryotaro in the tragedy of (temporarily) losing Yuto or what. In some ways, it's weird because in this timeline, Deneb was apparently Ryotaro's imagin the whole time. Of course, to Ryotaro's POV, he's not at all familiar with being Deneb's host at all, so maybe that's why it seems like a mismatch. (Deneb!Ryotaro was incredibly cute, though. And he does show up on Ryotaro's page on the TV-Asahi Den-O site, and he's cute there too.)

So, Yuto is back, and he doesn't remember Airi, and Kai is still annoying as hell. This'll be interesting.

Now, where did my coherence go off to?
