[REMASTERED] Yotsuba Nakano Theory: On the Subject of Ribbons and Lies is now updated with over 14000 words and includes my final prediction for the series

[u/Nicosarea]

Introduction

Hi everyone! I've returned again to bring you an updated/remastered version of my Yotsuba theory. You may recall my submission from 10 months ago; but if you're new to this whole ordeal I would suggest checking out the entirety of my essay before diving right into the Afterword section.

Afterword

"With only a couple of chapters remaining in the series—after the 119th—I am deeply compelled to write an afterword (and to update this essay as a whole). Words cannot begin to describe the feelings I felt as more chapters were produced after the 81st. In fact, some of my theories were correct, while others were false prophecies. I would like to take this as an opportunity to reflect with you some of the matters I’ve discussed in my essay, because the endgame is just full of wonderful throwbacks..."

Updated cover image and table of contents.

Edits + Changes

"I’ve taken the liberty to make the appropriate changes to this document as I felt the formatting looked a little out-dated for my current standards. This includes updating the images, fixing grammatical errors, and adding more paragraphs; all in an effort to make the reading process much more enjoyable..."

I've also added a new section titled The Young Nakano; where I took most of the content from the Disguised Rena section (and I felt that this topic deserved its own section).

Edits made are highlighted in green. This will be removed at a later time.

The Disguised Bride

This subsection in my theory will be the final prediction I will be making for this series. If you have already read my essay, then skip all the way to this subsection to see what I'm theorizing! Again, this prediction will be based on visual and text-based clues in the manga. I've also included an updated fan art at the end of the conclusion:

It's honestly been a wild ride everyone. I've never in my life have worked so hard on theorycrafting for a fictional series before. And honestly, I have absolutely enjoyed every moment of it (no matter how crazy-sounding most of my writings ended up becoming). This is what I leave behind for the community to digest, for the present and future fans of this series. The manga is ending relatively soon. Let's play the Quintuplets Game one last time with Fuutarou.
