Tokyo Debunker EP. 8

Yuu who vehemently refuses to ever return to their world, and moreover, refuses to tell anyone why.

They were so excited to go back, albeit also a bit sad, for so long! Everyone thought this would be a good thing, something to be celebrated!

But as it would turn out, Yuu disagreed. They were GOING to go through the mirror, they were, but all it took was them testing it out by putting their hand through, and after a second or two of pause, they booked it away from the portal and to the corner of the room. "You won't take me alive!" They shouted, "not happening, absolutely not, I'm staying here!"

Everyone was extremely confused, as Yuu threw a chair at the portal. (Through the portal, but the goal was at the portal.) Only when Crowley walked over to ask what the hell Yuu was doing, did so much as one person learn what was wrong.

As soon as they whispered a very nervous answer, clutching their wrist like their hand would lose all circulation otherwise, Crowley shut the portal like it had personally offended him. He started going on about how infinitely gracious he was, and how out of that graciousness, he would allow Yuu to continue staying at NRC!

Everyone expected Yuu to argue, but Yuu just nodded. The only other person to ever learn of what happened was Grim, when Yuu woke up from a nightmare maybe a week or two later.

He was the only other person to learn that upon testing the portal with their hand, Yuu realized that they were considered dead and gone in their old world. That they couldn't move their hand when it was through, and that had they gone through completely, they would have gone into cardiac arrest as their world remembered that they weren't meant to be alive.

If Yuu had passed through that portal, there would be no coming back. Not to Twisted Wonderland, and not to life in general.

I just want her to look extremely un-natural.

I'm just gonna come out and say it- I feel like Caleb might not end up having a myth?

Hear me out here- I know all the other love interests have myths and it would be weird for Caleb to be the one exception but hear me out-

All the other love interests, a good part of their lore is their myth. Rafayel is salty about MC forgetting him, he's the god of the sea or smth (not entirely sure, I haven't read all of it) Xavier is the Prince of Philos (also not entirely sure forgive me-) Sylus is (was?) a dragon, and Zayne betrayed a god for MC.

Point is, the main reason they value MC so much (nix Zayne I think, I heard somewhere that he doesn't remember MC.) is BECAUSE they remember her past lives. Rafayel actively hates all other humans, Xavier and the flower shop guy confirmed that she's important because of who she was, Sylus as well, blah blah blah, point is that all their lore depends on her past lives.

But Caleb? The central point of his story is that he died. Him and MC grew up together, one day he came back and they were visiting Josephine, and suddenly he died. Suddenly, the house blew up and took him with it.

And for the past- year? Half a year? Somewhere around there, for the past HOWEVER LONG, Mc has been grieving and mourning, not just thinking, but KNOWING him as having died, to her knowledge he had died in that fire, and really a part of him did.

That kindhearted caring boy she knew? The one who would try to avenge her even after she lied and said she was fine, the one who said she could talk to him about anything, he's dead.

And in his place stands three things. The necklace she gave him before he died, the death certificate confirming he truly is gone, and Colonel Caleb. A testament to all that has changed.

His story might not revolve around MC forgetting him, but instead around MC remembering a version of him that no longer exists.

That, and I feel like giving him a myth of top of all his other lore may feel like too many cooks in the kitchen, y'know?

Man eugenics sucks. Give this flower bud purple eyes or DIE Nintendo, I am NOT spending another 2 days on one more shiny.

She's fully black aside for her eyes. Not the most creative, I know, but it fits for her.

She is a really big lady. I wanted it to be that whenever she fully spread her wings, for whatever's underneath her it'd look like the entire sky got blacked out.

Oh, Kaito, you absolute bumbling fool. You hopeless romantic. I swear this guy is SO OBVIOUS. So obvious that his crush on MC is the first thing Romeo used to manipulate him

Dunno who Natalie Hunt is.

Look at him, he's so pathetic. He looks like a little puppy. Adorable.

What the sneef? I'm snorfin' here!

Lagiacrus

This thing is so hard to draw omg.

I don't actually like Lagiacrus very much. I kinda just think they're mid tbh.

So. Genuine question about Tokyo Debunker lore.

What's the difference between demons and Anomalies? Can anomalies become demons? Can demons be created by fear/want like Anomalies? What do they need when they say ghouls are made when someone devours a demon?

I ask this because I have a theory that Kyklos may end up becoming a demon and making a deal with MC. Problem being that I can't seem to find any clarification on the former questions.

So... Any clarification is welcome and appreciated. Please help. Also I swear there was a scene with a massive demon/anomaly behind MC as the veil changed to a ring; what ever happened to that?
